The Dow Jones spiked 200 points after the European Central Bank announced its latest effort to deal with the burgeoning continental debt crisis Thursday. ECB head Mario Draghi announced a new program under which the central bank will commit to buy government bonds of troubled eurozone countries, provided that they adhere to certain conditions.
