(25,812 posts)Point is the irony of 'rich guys' throwing money hand-over-fist at repugs at all levels in the government, when they make far greater profits when a Democrat is at the helm. Makes me wonder if there's some motivational factor that surpasses their greed...societal control, perhaps.

(42,381 posts)And if it goes up even one point tomorrow it will be another "five year high" -- at some point that description doesn't mean much. As it stands, the DJIA closed at 13625 on December 7, 2007. It topped that for the first time on Friday when it closed at 13649.7 and topped itself today when it closed at 13,712.21. The next highwater mark is 13806, the market's close on October 26, 2007. Between now and reaching that mark, its just topping itself.
Don't get me wrong, this is good. But its not top of the page headline news each time it happens.
