actually, didn't it drop a little below 700 for a while?.....that's how I remember it....

remember when inflation was double digit?....remember when you couldn't buy a decent calculator for much under $100 ?.....how about...remember when vcr's and microwaves and cell phones were luxuries only the upper classes could afford?.....

The DOWs numbers today are all about GM. The broader markets did not confirm the move. Remember the DOW has only 30 stocks and easily influenced by one or two. Watch the S&P 500 and NASDAQ to guide your trades.
