Host ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My grandfather spent the last few years of his life in a home run by the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Awww, my grandfather always talked about going to live with the Little Sisters when he became old and infirm. Unfortunately he didn't live long enough to do so.
sarameg, let me know if you ever need open house attending company!
Hey, the Dow Jones finally went below 10,000. How depressing is that?

Huh. I wonder if that'll have a big psychological effect on the market.
Anyone know when the Dow first broke 10,000?
Also, the Dow has experienced a net loss since Bush took office, right?

Jesus. I remember when it broke 10,000 going UP.
It's cool, I'm 37 and far from retirement age, I know it's better to buy when prices are low low low, but -- Jesus.

The internets say March 16, 1999.
t edit But it didn't actually *close* above 10,000 until March 30, 1999. It just broke it on March 16 and then dipped back down.

Yeah, I still have my 401k investing in stock, but I moved a lot of the existing money into bonds a year ago. I wonder if the time has come to think about moving some of that back into stock.

Hey, that means we still have almost seven months to get the Dow to have gone up in the following ten years....
The Dow first broke 10,000 in 1999. It reached a peak of 12,500 early in 2000. It went back down as low as 7,500 during the dot-com bust. It broke 10,000 again in 2004 and stayed there (until now).
I was interviewed after the bike ride I did with my boyfriend yesterday morning. I tried to get her to list my occupation as lead singer of Secret Crush Society but I don't think she believed me!
The Dow has gone down 200 points since my last post.
