After closing above 11,000 for the first time since June 2001 on Monday, and sparking a day-long debate on Wall Street as to whether that benchmark even matters, the Dow Jones industrial average briefly gave up enough ground on Tuesday to dip below the threshold before jumping back once again. Look for more see-saw moments ahead as the Dow tries to eclipse its all-time high of 11,723, which was reached six years ago and which many market pros believe finally will be seen again later this year.
