NEW YORK — . The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 12,000 for the first time in 2 1/2 years — yet another sign that the economy is extending its recovery from the recession. Investors found plenty of reasons to send stocks sharply higher Tuesday. Earnings reports from companies including Pfizer, UPS and Archer Daniels Midland were better than expected. And manufacturing had another good month in January.

The Dow rose 148.23 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 12,040.16.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 21.47, or 1.7 percent, to 1,307.59.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 51.11, or 1.9 percent to 2,751.19.

For the week:

The Dow is up 216.46, or 1.8 percent

The S&P is up 31.25, or 2.4 percent

The Nasdaq is up 64.30, or 2.4 percent

For the year to date:

The Dow is up 462.66, or 4 percent.

The S&P is up 49.95, or 4 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 98.32, or 3.7 percent.

Ho hum. Yet another in an endless series of lackluster, uninspiring, intentionally misleading speeches from the supposedly great orator.

The only good that will result from ambiguous crap like this is the inevitable conservative sweep in 2012. Watch the market rally on that day.

    Countered by Obama's spending policies causing inflation. No profits just mirrors. If a dollar is worth less the higher number means nothing.

    Economy 101 kids.

    Where in these charts do you see a problem with inflation? The last two years had the lowest inflation rate since the 1960's.

      What's the price of gas?

        What's the price of gas?

        What was it in the summer of 2008?

        Your erroneous rebuttal does nothing to strengthen your erroneous original comment. Is inflation worse now under Obama than it was under Bush? Yes or no.

          yes

            Your response in 2.4 says everything anyone needs to know about you on this site. I gave you a link in 2.1 that shows the inflation rates for every month since 1999 and every year since 1913. The numbers are right in front of your face showing that inflation for 2009 was -0.34% and for 2010 was 1.64%. The average for Bush's 8 years was 2.8%.

            Do you care to try your answer again? You had a 50% chance and got it wrong the first time. There's only one other possible answer.

              And yet, one guy's opinion from CNBC(the Right wing branch of NBC), states that Obama isnt having any positive effect on the economy. The Right is infested with deniers.

                Yeah, right. And I suppose Joe Scarborough is a conservative talk show host too.

                  Actually, yeah! At least he seems to make a point of it, to come off that way!

                    who cares? the dow goes up and unemployment stays about the same. the criminals on wall street, the ones we bailed out, get wealthier, the lobbyists who do their bidding get wealthier, and the american people get screwed. do these people ever express any shame for this condition? hell no, they don't. they act as if they are economic patriots saving this country from the very economic collapse they helped to create. the only increase in the federal budget should be for prison construction to house these criminals. at least we would see something concrete from that endeavor, not just another house of cards which is once again under construction on wall street.
