The Dow had topped 12,000 for the first time in intraday trading on Oct. 18 -- it closed above that mark on Oct. 19 -- and it took 127 sessions for the blue chip barometer to reach the next 1,000-point milestone.

Hmmm, interesting.

My prediction is that it will go up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A...then start.

Yes, but it’s not “sexy”, and tends to bore people very quickly.

I don't know. Just looked at my stock holdings awhile ago, and it turned me on.

Thought this was the second time ... didn't this happen earlier this week? We should be looking for the first close above 13k.

Woo hoo! One thing, at least, that’s going right for President Bush. Not that the liberal media will give him credit, of course....

This was the first time the DJIA index crossed 13K in history. Yesterday intraday it was 12,990 which was a record.

Always one to find a dark lining to a silver cloud, CNBC's Mark Haines allowed this morning that the NASDAQ was half the high it reached in 2000. And that the S&P 500 hadn't reached a new high yet.

Of course THIS wouldn’t be W’s fault, now, would it?

Nope! Never hit 13,000 until the Democraps took office. Trust me, they will take credit!

It’s the wrong milestone, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I can’t help but laugh at the losers who insist the economy sucks, the stockmarket is going to crash, etc etc etc.

Then again, I get quarterly statements chock full of ‘new money’...

S & P 500 is getting close to an all time high.

As for the NASDAQ, well a bubble is a hell of a thing, it might make a new high sometime in about 10 years from now.

be prepared for a big drop in the next week or so: Why? Profit taking. The Press will take up the “We’re all gonna die” beat, but it isn’t realy a big deal.

Drive-By Media are busy writing their “All is fine on Wall Street but not on Main Street” stories for tonight's news.
