On March 29, the Dow Jones made history, closing above 10,000 points for the first time ever. What do you think about Wall Street’s unprecedented vigor?
“Damn. I knew I should have invested my money in stocks instead of food.”
Patrick Glynn • Cab Driver
“Ten thousand points doesn’t seem like that much. I regularly reach that on the Dig Dug machine at the Hyper-Mart.”
Lester Hodges • Investment Banker
“Everything’s wonderful! Let’s celebrate America’s runaway prosperity by playing ’Yes! We Have No Bananas’ on the phonograph again!”
Felicia Hassler • Systems Analyst
“Some say money is the root of all evil. Then again, some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.”
Jen Kobel • Set Designer
“This gives me hope that perhaps someday my income will break the $10,000 mark.”
Edward Burris • Cashier
“Forgive me if I do not congratulate your ’Dow’ as it soars to ever-loftier heights. I am still mourning my lost son Icarus, whose hubris and folly made him fly too close to the sun.”
Robert Stearns • Architect
