For a few moments Monday, it looked like it was finally happening. But the Dow Jones Industrial Average failed yet again to close above 13000.

The average ended down 1.44 points, or less than 0.1%, at 12981.51. It was the fifth day traders had toyed with the 13000 marker, a level seen as psychologically, if not technically, important to the market.
