The Dow Jones Industrial Average took a run at another milestone, the first close over 14000. It fell short, but finished at yet another record high.
Although the Dow rose 43.73 points, or 0.31%, to 13950.98, most stocks on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market declined. So did most major stock indexes.

Yep, you beat it. And I promise not to say it.
Congratulations, capitalist exploiters of the working class :$)
Go DOW go.
It’s just going to make the eventual ride back down to 5,000 that much steeper. ;)
Its not meaningless if you pay attention to the various ‘kook sites’ on the web.
One year ago they were all predicting a massive implosion of the stockmarket, the housing market, and were claiming massive inflation was guaranteed.
As usual, they were wrong.
Only fools, kooks, and Democrats bet against this economy.
Oh, and the S&P is above its record close.
Back up to 13,990. There’s nut at DU who has a graph tracking where the DOW would have been if Clinton was still in office. It just kept going up, ignoring the 2000 Recession, the Dot.Com Bubble burst and 9-11.

I had several crackpots on LP ping me every fifteen minutes at one point last year with ‘downdates’ when the market corrected itself, and thought the new Dem House would raise taxes.
Its always amusing when they don’t show up when good news happens, isn’t it?
