The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 23,000 for the first time on Wednesday, driven by a jump in IBM after it hinted at a return to revenue growth.
The Dow hit 22,000 on Aug. 2, only 54 trading days earlier and roughly half the time it took the index to move from 21,000 to 22,000. This marks the fourth time this year the Dow has reached a 1,000-point milestone. [ ]
Shares of IBM (IBM.N), which beat expectations on revenue, jumped 8.9 percent and accounted for about 90 points of the days 160 point-gain in the blue-chip index.

Trump win!

Buffet = 54 mill shares of IBM
We are doomed
Great news, but all the more reason I’m not getting back into stocks just yet.

I've been hearing that since about 1987!
Glad I got in early and never got out. 1982 was the year I first got into stocks. It's been quite a ride.
Now if only I could go back in time with just $10,000 and knowing what I know now.
Democrats Outraged!!!
HAHAHAHA!
IBM’s new processor has some real interesting features for Banking and any vulnerable networks.
Look at the pretty bubble!
Yep. It’s displaying “irrational exuberance,” as one financial guru put it.
