Where will the DJIA close on Monday, October 13, 2008?

Settled as DJIA will close at over 8,800.01

DJIA closed at 9387.61

Background:

Monday was down 370
Tuesday about 500
and then comes Wednesday...190 points down!

Who expected what happened on Thursday...down another 678 points after a morning where it was actually going up?


Then along comes Friday and the market actually goes UP again! Then drops back down to finish another 128 points down

Now that gas prices are coming down no one has money to buy any...........

Market suspends 1 hour prior to closing


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I figured the market was going to tank after all that talk about governments guying equity stakes in banking firms.

I think any interest/profit made from these 'purchases' should be directed to the Social Security Budget.

if the govt ran SS they way it was setup, it would be fine. they just had to spend the money, now it's going broke. why in the world do people wanna send more money (higher taxes) to the govt is beyond me. how many times has money for education been increased by the fed govt? is our education system getting better? STOP GIVING THE FED GOVT MORE MONEY AND POWER!
