The Dow Jones industrial average reached a record close Thursday, gaining 109 points to end trading at 16,010. The Nasdaq composite gained 48 points to 3,969. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 14 points to 1,795, just shy of the 1,800 milestone it briefly hit earlier in the week. That index is heading for what could be its biggest annual gain in a decade, making investors wary of pushing stocks higher.
