This was in TheStreet.com. Market Roundup: Dow Surges Nearly 200 to Close Above 8000 A burst of year-end euphoria got 1997's final month off to a huge start as the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged back above 8000, led by rejuvenated financial and technology stocks. Looking at specific sectors, Meehan likes an old standby. "I had been avoiding the energy service and driller stocks since October 14, but now's as good a time as any to put your toes back in the water there," he said. "I like the climactic selling that we're seeing in some of the energy stocks, like Schlumberger." Schlumberger (SLB:NYSE) skidded 4 1/4 to 78 1/16 today as investors continued to snatch profits off the table throughout the sector. Diamond Offshore (DO:NYSE) lost 4 3/16 to 45 11/16, Cliffs Drilling (CDG:NYSE) lost 4 1/16 to 51 7/16 and Transocean Offshore (RIG:NYSE) lost 2 3/8 to 45 1/16. Barbara
