Stock market poised for another record

By Jim Butman

The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared to a new record close at 12,808.63 Thursday, and the stock market staged another bullish rally in early morning trading today. Local stocks mirrored the broader surge this morning, with advancers far outnumbering decliners. The largest local advancers this morning were Manpower Inc (up $3.59 to $81.75), Strattec Security Corp. (up $2.55 to $44.87), Bucyrus International Inc. (up $2.25 to $57.97) and Johnson Controls Inc. (up $2.12 to $99.72). The Biztimes Stock Index was poised to rise with today's rally, but fell 1.02 points on Thursday to close at 180.93. The BizTimes Stock Index was created by Small Business Times and is monitored by North Shore Bank. The index, which measures the stock values of publicly held companies based in southeastern Wisconsin, is updated daily and can be viewed at www.biztimes.com.
