Well, you've heard of the year 2000 problem...welcome to the DJIA 10,000 problem. An IT research report came out today from Gartner Group saying that "alarming evidence is emerging that many enterprises will face severe difficulties in their information-processing systems when the DJIA reaches 10,000" "Trading organizations face potential massive exposure if the DJIA passes 10,000 and their systems interprpet it as 1,000 - or 0,000. Computer-based trading systems could interpret the "10,000 event as a catastrophic crash. This is a real and present threat. Little evidence exists that AD organizations have started risk assessment."
