| Dow Ends Up 9 in Its Fourth Record Close |
| 2006-10-11 |
| The Dow Jones industrial average set its fourth record close in two weeks Tuesday, finishing less than a point above its previous closing high. After a lackluster day of trading, broader indexes also rose slightly, putting the Standard & Poor's 500 back near its 5 1/2 year highs. Investors nudged stocks slightly higher in gains in advance of Alcoa's after-the-bell quarterly financial report which traditionally marks the start of earnings season. |

| #2 this morning's TV was funny. Right after the local announcer said that market was at record highs - they switched to national news and that announcer said "this quarter is off to a rocky start". Then she went with Alcoa is down and one other doom gloom segment. Nothing about the "record high". Watching national news is getting so funny. It's like watching Scrappleface on TV. |
