Dow Jones Average within 500 points of Jan. 20, 2001
11:44 AM Fri, Jul 11, 2008

Stocks have tumbled today, with the Dow down more than 200 points and dipping below 11,000 for the first time in two years. It's above that mark at the moment, but still within 500 points of where it was on Jan. 20, 2001. On that date, it stood at 10,587.59. Why does that date matter? That's the date we swore in the first U.S. President to have an MBA. Hmmm ...





Today it closed at 10376,45....222.14 (if my math is correct) Lower than when W came to power.

2. DUer Ozymandius has kept track of the differential all these years

on his weekday posts. I think that other than 9/11 it hasn't been this bad, at least for a long time.
