The above graphic shows the fluctuations of the Dow Jones Industrial Average for today. As the title of this post indicates, the market ended over 9,000 points, which conveniently allows me to post this old-ass meme:
That's the good news. The bad news is that this is the third day in a row where the market ended under 10,000 (which hasn't happened in four years). In case you've been living under a rock for the past month or so, recent market conditions are rocking financial institutions like hurricanes, and the bailout package recent passed by Congress and signed by Figurehead Bush ("President" is too kind at this point) hasn't kicked into effect yet.
I'm no economist, but my best guess is that things will probably get worse before they get better. I just hope that the "over 9000!!" vid becomes irrelevant again due to the market going over 10,000 as opposed to under 9000.
