Here’s to a week of the same in the New Year!!
A great movie
LIBs/DIMs/rinos and other assorted uncivil debris are saddened. MAGA, you worthless bast***s!
Has there ever been a one day 1100 point gain?
No because there had never been a one day 1000 point gain.
.... Not sure but this could be in the “Record” Territory.
No. This was the largest point gain for the DJIA in history.

RE: “ I will still be better off than...”
Congratulations -
Truly, you are pragmatically worldly smart.
You sit pretty in today’s stratospheric stock market levels that correlate to the 1929 run up, which serve “investor / gambler” self interests well, in the historical short term.
However, for your grandchildren and our nation’s future, not so much...
The reason why the stock markets and Real Estate has soared to unsustainably high levels correlates to shift to a debt based economy / US dollar fiat currency, ie: 1988 US debt was $1 Trillion, 30 years later it’s $22 Trillion, 8 years of unheard of QE1-2-3 money printing, ZIRP & NIRP, and a US (Petro) dollar that is blessed to be the world’s reserve currency up til now.
From long term perspective, mathmatic and demographic reality assures we are economically screwed and will pay dearly for our debt based fiat currency and non-saving society.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should...
No. Today's gain was the highest ever. Wiki page here.
Maybe you could get the title changed to:
“Dow soars 1,086.25 points, erases losses”
