Hey, the Dow Jones finally went below 10,000. How depressing is that?
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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).

Punishingly Intricate
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, things are starting to get creepy. I gave up waiting for the fire department to let people into my office building and came home (I was planning to leave early today anyway b/c Dylan has a doctor's appointment). Now there are fire trucks at the other end of my block AT HOME.
Was I nominated for a position as Fire Goddess over the weekend and somebody forgot to tell me? Because I resign! Do not want!
