7. What does the current price of 30 stocks TODAY mean to

what my nest egg will be worth in 25 years, when I begin retirement?

9. Exactly, what IS the Dow Jones?

A reading of 30 hand-picked stocks, which can change, out of over 11,000 listed stocks.

Its an antiquated system that has no real value, yet the media and entire channels breathlessly reports its' movements.

Strange.

12. It's sexy because it moves triple digits on some days

Gotta put a big number on that board.

I can't speak to what its appeal was 30 years ago, but i suspect that's why they keep it around.

11. Didja like the other thread yesterday about the Nikkei "PLUNGING"?

It was down 1.3%.

One. Point. Three. Percent.

Chicken Littles abound.

I mean, things don't smell all rosy and sweet at the moment, but let's cut the hyperbole.

13. This Is A Great Opportunity

I'm positive about the long term. Mostly because we're getting rid of Bush, but also because I believe that Obama will turn things around for the better.
