1. Wonder what's gonna happen if it goes below 10,000.

:scared:

[Warpy]

4. I doubt if it will be allowed to stay under 10,000

because Bush is still pushing for social security money to flood the stock market. He hasn't given up on his scam, no matter what the MSM said. Keeping the market above 10,000 is so the suckers will think it's safe.

2. interesting.... it keeps see sawing

but things are great, just ask bush

[DS1]

3. Oh look - 1% is now defined as a freefall

:eyes:

[Up2Late]

5. No, but after 180 point drop yesterday, and then...

...the weekend break (which gives investors a lot of time to fret and sweat), I would say it's some thing to keep track of.

[DS1]

6. It's been doing this for months

If it stays under 10k for a week I'll start taking an interest. :-)

[Up2Late]

7. Does NY close at 4:00pm?

Watching the CNBC ticker, the Dow just recovered about some points (to -86), is the last our usually a bit wild?

[DS1]

8. Yep, 4 pm

[Up2Late]

12. Why do they clap on a Bad day? DJ ended at about -119

The numbers are still changing though.

[gratuitous]

14. Well, I don't know about "free fall," but

Compare and contrast DJIA closing figures:

1/20/93: 3,241.95 (Clinton inaugurated)

6/24/97: 7,758.06 (increase of 239%)

1/20/01: 10,587.59 (Bush inaugurated)

6/24/05: 10,297.84 (decrease of 1%)

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. 2.74% in two days

I agree it's been up and down for months, but an almost 3% drop in the Dow in two days is at least notable, (though it's definitely not "freefall").

[Up2Late]

9. Hey, I didn't know this when I posted them, but the charts are updating

themselves automatically. That's too cool!:evilgrin:

[KFC]

10. I think I'll jump out of my window

Those 0.7% drops are too much for me to handle.

[Up2Late]

11. Oh, it's dropping fast again

Down to -111 again (-40 in about 5 mins)

[Up2Late]

13. Final Numbers Dow Jones -123.60 Nasdaq -17.39

Does the person who does the "Market watch" here ever do a "Final Bell" Thread?

[DuaneBidoux]

15. Just a "Classic Republican Stock Market" (check history)

[Up2Late]

17. Yep, what's the word, oh yeah "Stagnate"

I forget where I saw this, but the Stock market was almost exactly the same on both January 20, 2000 and January 20, 2004,

Yet the ReThugs keep saying how much better the Stock market is Now.

[yankeedem]

18. Well, you see, the Internet boom was fake

On the other hand, todays stock prices are real. That wasn't real money you made in the late 90's, it was a bubble, doncha know' :sarcasm:
