DANIEL GROSS: “So the Dow hit 12,000. Big whoop.”

Well, it would be a big deal if a Democrat were in the White House. . . .

I do like this line, though: “Only 24,000 points more to Dow 36,000! ”

The Amazon reviews for Dow 36,000 are kind of funny, too. Hey, they didn’t say when . . . .

UPDATE: More thoughts from Daniel Harrison. He also notes that the NASDAQ is way up.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Rob DeJournett notes that although the NASDAQ is way up over recent years, it’s nowhere near its peak. True enough, but as the chart demonstrates, “peak” is really the right word.
