A third day of a rally? This seemed impossible just last week. Despite some choppy retail sales, stocks were up triple-digits in the DJIA in the final minutes before the close and another day not in the red was assured. A slight drop in jobless claims helped as well, even if the pre-holiday week is generally viewed as a wash by Wall Street. Here are today's unofficial closing bell prices:
Dow 10,138.99 +120.71 (1.20%)
S&P 500 1,070.25 +9.98 (0.94%)
Nasdaq 2,175.40 +15.93 (0.74%)
