The first day of the new trading year saw a late holiday gift, the Dow closed above 9000 for the first time since early November. The major indices closed up around 3% each not affect by the weaker-than-expected manufacturing numbers.

Here are some of the day’s winners and losers:

Office Depot (ODP)

News of credit restructuring with Citibank (C) for the retailer’s privately held credit card helped the stock jump 52 cents, or 17%, to end the week at $3.50.

Massey Energy (MEE)

Coal companies could be the big buy for the New Year. Many of the producers, including MEE, had been hurt by the year-end decline in commodity prices. The stock gained $2.40, or 17.4%, on the day to finish at $16.19.

Developers Diversified Realty Corp. (DDR)

The retailer advanced as it attempts to solidify its financial position with refinancing more than a billion dollars in loans and selling a large chunk of assets. The stock closed 80 cents, or 16%, higher at $5.68.

Another REIT that got the short end of the stick to start the New Year, EQR closed down $1.53, or 5.3%, to end the day at $28.23.

A last-minute downturn erased much of the gains from the last day of trading in 2008 as it dropped $3.92, or nearly 5%, to $75.58.

Hudson City Bancorp Inc. (HCBK)

Low volume and a lack of faith in the savings & loan market continue to hamper Hudson City; as it continues its decline from November. Shares dropped 74 cents, or 4.6% on the day, to close at $15.22.

Plum Creek Timber Company Inc. (PCL)

With timber and timber-related products still trading down, PCL watched shares drop $1.32, or nearly 4% on Friday, to close the week at $33.42.
