The year in stocks




Dec. 24 - U.S. stocks are eying their fifth straight up year despite wild volatility after a credit market crumble. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed with triple-digit moves over 70 times. That's almost 1 in every 3 trading days -- something not seen in at least five years, according to the fact checkers at Dow Jones Indexes.
