Closing Bell: DJIA 10,000... Partying like it's 1999 (JPM, INTC, ACPW, LAZ)

More

Today could have been a day to look out for more economic numbers, yet all that mattered was that the DJIA hit 10,000. To put this into context, the first time that the DJIA hit 10,000 was back all the way in 1999...

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) blew earnings away at $0.82 EPS vs $0.52 EPS. This is setting a very high mark for other financial firms to beat. Shares were up over 3% at $47.10 ahead of the closing bell.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) also rose on higher earnings and a higher outlook, but one could argue that the enthusiasm here was a disappointment. Shares were up 1.8% at $20.84 ahead of the close, but they were up as much as 7% after the report last night.

Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW) was a huge winner on news that it has received a second multi-million dollar order from one of the largest Internet search engine providers. Shares were up almost 32% at $1.20 ahead of the closing bell.

Lazard Ltd. (NYSE: LAZ) is going to be under a cloud after its shares are released from a halt. Unfortunately, its CEO Bruce Wasserstein has passed away according to media reports. Shares were up 4% at $42.77 ahead of the halt, but this stock was lower on Monday on word of his hospitalization.
