So I mentioned to a friend today how nice it was to see the Dow surging, possibly breaking a record high soon. My liberal friend said, "Oh, the Dow has nothing to do with the economy. They are completely opposite." BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I just kind of chuckled and said, "Whatever!" S/he insisted on saying, "No really, it doesn't. They're just basically different." I refused to take the bait and get in an argument. I thought it was funny, but kind of sad: this person has deluded themselves into thinking this surge in the stock market...
