NEW YORK (AP) - The Dow Jones industrial average has topped 10,000 for
the first time in a year. The Dow crossed five figures seven months
after it hit a 12-year low of 6,547.05 on March 9. Upbeat earnings
reports from chip maker Intel Corp. and banker JPMorgan Chase & Co.
gave the Dow its final push; the average then slipped back several
points after crossing the milestone.
