Geithner Pick Lifts Stocks (PETER A. MCKAY and MARY PILON, 11/21/08, Wall Street Journal)

Stocks rallied Friday afternoon on reports that President-elect Barack Obama selected New York Federal Reserve chief Timothy Geithner to be Treasury Secretary.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average already traded in a broad range Friday, including both triple-digit gains and losses. But it rallied strongly in the final hour of trading on word of Mr. Obama's plan to name Mr. Geithner to the top post at Treasury.
