Today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 10,008.16; it’s the first 10K+ closing number since May 24, 2002, and only 15% off its all-time high of 11,722.98 (in the halcyon days of January, 2000).

Of course, the poor NASDAQ didn’t do quite as well. It closed up only 2%, at 1,942.32, which is still more than 60% off its high point of 5,048.62, set on March 10, 2000. That’s three days before my thirtieth birthday, which sort of explains the car, really.
