But knock yourself out. It should be good for a laugh or two!
I'm not in the market, so I won't be losing anything. I just find it interesting to speculate. My one regret is not buying gold. BTW, the DOW is even lower now than when I cashed out in 2008. I still have it book marked at when it was a bit over 8000.

How much have any of you really gained in the past three years, considering we're back down to Oct 2008 crash levels? Or let me re-phrase that - September levels when I got out.

If they majored in underwater basketweaving. Most of the engineers are pretty sharp. Passing organic chemistry is a whole 'nother universe from passing Journalism 101.

European markets were doing decently well but are now down over 2%. If that extends here, that will be over a 200 point drop for the DOW. Luckily it's a Friday....?

Hopefully the ones who majored in engineering know not to say "I graduated college". Anyone who speaks that way has me wondering about how sharp they are.

I agree, the data is trying to make the government look better, I wonder what the real figure is.
