U.S. stocks fell three straight days to close the week as investors pulled back amid concerns of a weak economic recovery.

"While it appears to us that the recession is over, there are a lot of lingering signs of pain on Main Street," research analyst Sasha Kostadinov told Reuters news service. "Unemployment is very high, lots of people out of work and that is still causing significant stress."

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually rose 0.5%, the S&P 500 dipped 0.2% and the NASDAQ shed 1%.  Trading was choppy with the monthly expiration of November options on Friday.
