Helped along by market-pleasing results from Hewlett-Packard, the Nasdaq tripped above the closing high of 1,422.95 it hit during this summer's rally.
It's a level that traders have been keenly focusing on -- if the Nasdaq can close above it, it will be the first time one of the major indexes has gone through the previous recovery's high since the bear market began in 2000.
On the back of Hewlett (HPQ: up $1.95 to $18.80, Research, Estimates)'s better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and revenue after the bell Wednesday, the Nasdaq jumped 24 points to 1,444 in early action.
"We owe it all to the Joey" said Carly Fiorina, HP's head slice. "Without his sweaty lil' head working the new source code, we'd be in Chapter 11 by now!" Before his untimely and mysterious death earlier this year, the Joey managed to re-write over 400,000 pages of source code in just 1 hour.
In a related matter, Microsoft has sued HP for stealing 400,000 pages of its source code.
