Dow closes above 13,000 for the first time since 2008

For the first time in nearly four years Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 13-thousand on Wall Street — which some investment advisers say is a sign of good things to come.

Justin Anderson of Rock Hill-based Anderson Griggs Portfolio Management says from a macro perspective, Tuesday’s high can mean the everyday investor may be feeling just a bit more confident.

The Dow finished up 24 points at 13-thousand-five.  The S&P 500 gained five points to 13-72.

The Nasdaq rose 21 points to 29-87.  Oil prices fell two-dollars-and-one-cent to settle at 106-dollars-55-cents a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
