14000

The Dow closed a hair above 14000 today but the largest percentage growth goes to the Nasdaq, 0.76%. Earnings, particularly in the technology sector, looked good Thursday. Shares of IBM and SAP rose 4.3% and 6,9% respectively. Google Inc.'s sales soared in the recent quarter as the Web search giant continued to ride the online advertising boom. Crude-oil futures went up 87 cents, making a barrel almost $76. Unfortunately, that is creeping up on a record high also. DJIA +82.19 Nasdaq +20.55 S&P 500 +6.91
