OT DOW 9000: oh i'm so excited <G> i watched about 3 min of that stupid CNBC thing and decided that there was almost nothing that i could do that would be a bigger waist of time. BTW, did they mention that if it wasn't for the Citicorp/Travelers merger the DOW would have been down? "Citicorp, whose stock is the lesser currency in the proposed merger of equals, blasted up 37 5/8, or 26.3%, to an all-time high of 180 1/2. Dow component Travelers surged 10 13/16, or 17.5%, to an all-time high of 72 1/2; at the New York close it was up 11 1/2 to 73, contributing 45.84 points to the Dow's rise of 49.82 to a record 9033.23. Also supporting the Dow were frequent merger-chatter subject J.P. Morgan (JPM:NYSE), up 10 13/16 (43.10 Dow points), or 8.1%, to a record 144 3/4, and American Express (AXP:NYSE), up 5 3/4 (22.92 Dow points), or 5.8%, to a record 104 3/4. The three financials added a total of 111.86 points to the Dow, masking what would have been a negative session."
