U.S. stocks post best January in decade-plus Dow, S&P 500 tally biggest January point jump ever NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed the books on Wall Street’s best January in more than a decade, with the indexes mostly slipping after U.S. economic data failed to live up to its billing. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 recorded their best percentage jump for the month of January since 1997. The Nasdaq Composite recorded its best January since 2001. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-erase-gains-on-confidence-fall-2012-01-31
