It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

It’s Friday, mentally I left at about 2.  In reality I am still here.

 

The U.S. stock market was up, foreign stock markets were mixed, the bond market was up, commodities were mixed, currencies were mixed. 

 

The following indices set new records today:  The Dow, the S&P 500, the Wilshire 5000, the Russell 3000, the Russell 2000, the Russell 1000.  Poor NASDAQ!  It set it’s high in 2000, it’s bubble burst, and it hasn’t made it back up there again.

 

Now throw your hands in the air, And wave 'em like you just don't care!  ~ Outkast
