Stocks finished in positive territory Tuesday, with the Dow logging a five-day win streak, but off their session highs after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threw cold water on the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

Reid said it will be hard to reach a budget deal by Christmas, adding that Democrats aren't going to make an offer on spending cuts for Republicans.
