WSJ:
The Dow industrials seesawed across the 10000 level, as solid earnings from AT&T and McDonald's boosted shares, but the Nasdaq was held back by eBay's weak report.
Gains were held in check by a drop in oil prices that weighed on energy and utilities stocks, and worse-than-expected weekly jobs numbers.
Early Thursday afternoon in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 49.35 points, or 0.5%, at 9999.76. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index inched up 0.06%, to 1082.07, led by its telecom and financial sectors. The technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.3%, at 2143.33. Online auctioneer eBay fell 5.4% after it reported a profit drop and issued disappointing fourth-quarter projections.
Travelers led the pack, up 6.1% after it posted a third-quarter profit that more than quadrupled on lower catastrophic losses and improved investment returns.
3M, AT&T and McDonald's were up more than 2% each following their latest earnings reports, which beat Wall Street expectations.
The dollar gained against the euro and yen, following its slump Wednesday. Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at Prudential Annuities, said the stock market is continuing to take its cues from the move in the dollar.
Crude for December delivery was down 0.5% to $80.97 a barrel in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Among the reports released Thursday, the Conference Board said its index of leading economic indicators increased last month, after a revised 0.4% gain in August. The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits rose in the week ended Oct. 17.
European markets
Shares fell as investors got rattled after disappointing earnings reports from the technology sector and the prospect of China raising interest rates.
The Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index dropped 1% to 246.59. The U.K. FTSE 100 index fell 1%, to 5207.36. The German DAX index lost 1.2%, to 5762.93, and the French CAC-40 index dropped 1.4%, to 3820.85.
Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson fell 6.2% after the company said third-quarter net profit fell.
Alcatel-Lucent, an Ericsson rival, fell 2.5%, and chip maker Infineon Technologies dropped 4.3%.
Banks also were weak, with HSBC Holdings down 1.8% and Societe Generale down 2.3%.
Dow is Good Boy! tonight...
"Cheong Aaaarrrhhhh!!!"...
Looks like the Dow is consolidating for further gains...
Rising oil may mean people in the know can tell the economy will be good ahead...
Back to 10,000 again

cannot long.... sure lose... hehe....
Very sure that STI will be positive today after so many days of consolidation.
Vest and good luck.
I agree. People are making the mistake of always looking at STI and not focussing on individual stocks

DJ drop 1% damn but dont worry too much - STI might flat or even gain today
monitor individual stock for target price correction for buyers.....indices correction may be less meaningful from now...
While people spend or waste their time doubting, the Dow may be quietly creeping up unnoticed...
I'm still optimistic that STI will hit 2746 range.
Cheers.
