Dow Jones over 9999, world burns!

The floor of the NYSE was positively bursting with anticipation as the time
wore down. With the market creeping closer and closer to the mythical
10,000 mark, normally frantic stockbrokers were glued to the ticker as the
numbers marched upwards. And just as trading closed the mighty Dow
odometer ticked over. Unfortunately, just like an odometer it ticked past
9999 and came to rest reading 0000. The shocked silence was only broken
by one unknown stockbroker, whose cry of fff----------kkkkkk!!!!!!!
echoed eerily around the suddenly silent exchange.
"Holy shit, Holy shit, I'm penniless!" cried an unnamed investment banker
as he smashed a supermarket window with his briefcase and filled it with
canned fruit.<<
