Stocks mostly up after see-saw day NEW YORK -- Investors sidestepped some of their doubts about the economy and bought energy and industrial stocks as commodity prices rose. Stocks ended back-and-forth trading mostly higher Tuesday as a spike in the price of gold and corporate dealmaking extended an advance from Monday. Investors drew some comfort from billionaire investor Warren Buffett's decision to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad.
