When will the DJIA next close above 10,000?

Settled as September through December 2009

DJIA did close above 10,000, on October 14 at 10015.90.

Background:

Background: With the recent plunge below 8,500, the days of quintuple-digit closes seem like a distant memory. When will we next scramble back above that psychological barrier?

Starting odds are somewhat of a guess since, frankly, the market has done everything but behave rationally. They're very loosely based on long-term averages.

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

Interesting to look back at some comments from a while back..."The dow is going down the drain"...as we are well above 9500 and 10000 is a possibility...

wonder how many of these are out there?

the hatemongers wager based on their politics, not based on reality or knowledge of economics. It is good for our net worth when folks wager based on emotion, not reason.....
