<p>Markets were fairly mixed to start Wednesday, after a fairly strong showing at the start of the week. Out of the major averages, the Dow Jones industrials were the only one with a gain, up 0.2%. The Nasdaq and S&;P 500 were each down 0.2%.</p>
<p>A strong start to the third-quarter earnings reporting season pushed stocks higher to begin the week. Netflix was the big earnings winner, notching subscriber growth of more than 2.4 million, and in response shares were up about 14% on the day on last look. This is a much-needed win for Netflix, as the stock is still down about 50% year to date.</p>
<p>Bank earnings at the start of the week spurred optimism but it has yet to be seen if this can hold up over the course of the whole season.</p>
