U.S. Stocks Rise as Dow Posts Best Two-Week Gain in Nine Years
By Whitney Kisling
July 25 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks rose, completing the steepest two-week rally for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 2000, as companies beat profit estimates and an increase in home resales signaled an economic recovery may be underway.
“This isn’t a bear market rally,” Hugh Johnson, who manages more than $1.5 billion as chairman of Albany, New York-based Johnson Illington, said in a Bloomberg Radio interview. “It’s often confirmed by things such as the index of leading economic indicators, which has been up three months in a row and telling us that we’re headed towards a recovery.”
CatEd Notation: We're talking about a one-day drop of 500 or more points from the previous day's closing results. If this appears to be happening, the CatEd may temporarily suspend the question up to an hour earlier than that day's closing time, and will reopen if it does not drop the required amount.
