The 10K Dow
On March 29, the Dow Jones made history, closing above 10,000 points for the first time ever. What do you think about Wall Street's unprecedented vigor?
Patrick Glynn,
Cab Driver
"Damn. I knew I should have invested my money in stocks instead of food."
Lester Hodges,
Investment Banker
"Ten thousand points doesn't seem like that much. I regularly reach that on the Dig Dug machine at the Hyper-Mart."
Felicia Hassler,
Systems Analyst
"Everything's wonderful! Let's celebrate America's runaway prosperity by playing 'Yes! We Have No Bananas' on the phonograph again!"
Jen Kobel,
Set Designer
"Some say money is the root of all evil. Then again, some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed."
Edward Burris,
Cashier
"This gives me hope that perhaps someday my income will break the $10,000 mark."
Robert Stearns,
Architect
"Forgive me if I do not congratulate your 'Dow' as it soars to ever-loftier heights. I am still mourning my lost son Icarus, whose hubris and folly made him fly too close to the sun."
