DJIA 20K

We have some smart cookies around here regarding the stock market.

What's everyone's opinion on if this is a good sign, a bad sign, not important? And what caused this latest bump? What's going on with the money supply? &c, &c.


Dow breaks 20,000 milestone
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finally broke through the psychologically important 20,000 barrier for the first time Wednesday, continuing a sharp rally that began after Donald Trump’s election as the nation’s 45th president.

The Dow, which rose 134 points to 20,046 in midday trading on Wednesday, is now up over 1,700 points, or around 9 percent, since Trump’s stunning victory over Hillary Clinton in November, defying some predictions that a win by the unpredictable Republican could hurt stock prices.

Volatility generates volume, lots of people are looking to read the tea leaves and place their bets.

It's pointless. What matters is actual production, joblessness, and consumer sentiment. The stock market is a poor indicator for the economy as a whole.

It's meaningless. Nobody gives a shit about the Dow, and certainly not about it hitting a round number.

If you're referring to the broader market though, it's completely out of reality, and has been for some time now. Makes me really want to short some stocks.

Not the right time to short the whole thing, but that day fast approaches. This is when you can get rich in the markets.
