re: dow hangs to 11000 by a fingernail Talk of inflation and a slowing economy was once again the bane of the major market indices today. At one point during the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 100 points to tag a session low of 10,926.42, dropping below the 11,000 level for the first time since March 10. However, the defense rallied in the final half hour of trading, and the Dow averted a nasty breach of support to close a hair's breadth above the 11,000 mark. On the broader market, decliners outpaced advancers by a ratio of more than two to one on the New York Stock Exchange, with the ratio standing at 19 to 10 on the Nasdaq
