Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the symbolic threshold of 10,000. New York Times finance reporter Louise Story says the news is interesting, but it doesn't say much about the overall health of the economy. Something that might: the banking sector.

The last two weeks have seen a steady rally for the stock market, which closed above 9,000 on Friday.
