Bounty on Halloween Dow closes just below 11,000 mark.
Optical stocks come roaring back.
There were no apples or raisins or pennies in this market's Halloween booty . The Dow Jones Industrial Average had its own good treats, giving the blue-chip index its third consecutive day of cleaning up. Since Friday, the Dow has added almost 600 points, and today closed just below the 11,000 mark. It was just two weeks ago that the Dow closed below the psychologically important 10,000 level. It's been lifted steadily by the return of money that had been leaving the uncertainty of technology for the safety of Old Economy stocks.
