NEW YORK | Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:11pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks jumped to their highest since July on Wednesday as the International Monetary Fund sought to help countries hit by the European debt crisis, while forecast-beating earnings from Goldman Sachs dispelled some worries over bank profits.

The stronger-than-expected earnings from Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) followed disappointing results from Citigroup (C.N) on Tuesday and JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) last week.

Goldman shares shot up 6.8 percent to $104.31, while the S&P financial sector .GSPF rose 1.7 percent, leading the S&P 500 higher.

The banking sector has outperformed the broader market so far this year, but the financials sector was the S&P 500's weakest-performing one last year.

While the Goldman results supported financial shares, the IMF's willingness to bolster its crisis-fighting resources gave the sector a big push. Financials had suffered throughout 2011 on worries that Europe's debt crisis would hit banks globally.

To be perfectly honest, it’s not about us. It’s about businesses recognizing that industry and ecology are inherently connected. It’s about realizing the positive effects of connecting businesses, consumers and nonprofits through philanthropy. And it’s about understanding that the true cost of doing business can be mitigated by a simple pledge to the planet.



Since 2002, 1% for the Planet has inspired members of the business community to contribute 1% of sales to environmental groups around the world. In return, this growing alliance of companies is given the opportunity not only to see their self-worth rise, but their net worth climb as well.

The 1 Percent USA

Over the past few months, Occupy Wall Street actions have sprung up all across the United States. In the wake of Wall Street’s meltdown, protectors have taken up a new cause: Calling out the income disparity between the top 1 percent, who possess an estimated 25 percent of American wealth, and everyone else — otherwise known as the 99 percent.

While the Occupy protests are taking place in cities like Atlanta, Harrisburg, PA., Seattle, Oakland, Des Moines and dozens of other locales across the country, those are not necessarily the places where the 1 percent live.

A stellar report by the Atlantic magazine delves into this issue. Using IRS data, the Atlantic report shows that the 1 percent — Americans earning at least $516,633 in 2010 – are concentrated in large metropolitan areas led by New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
