Stocks stabilize as hopes improve for Bernanke's reappointment, break worst slide since March.

Technology shares could get a boost Tuesday from Apple Inc., which said after the closing bell that its profit jumped nearly 50 percent for the final three months of 2009 as it sold more iPhone devices.

The questions about Bernanke's reappointment came as Fed policymakers are set to gather for the first meeting of the year on interest-rate policy. The two-day meeting starts Tuesday.
