(MONEY Magazine) – The market kicked off 2006 with a bang when the Dow topped 11,000 for the first time in 4½ years. But that early exuberance disappeared on news of less than rosy earnings at high-profile blue-chip companies, among them Intel, whose shares fell 13.2% for the month. All 2006 Dow gains were erased by Jan. 20, when the index suffered its biggest one-day point decline in nearly three years. Energy's ride isn't over: The sector gained 8.9% as oil reached $68 a barrel.
