After a tumultuous week that saw a near 1,000-point drop in the Dow, Wall Street finally found its footing. The Dow closed 248 points in the green on Friday, despite a discouraging October jobs report, which showed the highest unemployment rate since 1994.

Here are the stocks that lead the bulls today, as well as those that continued to suffer the fallout of a faltering economy.
