It was only a sort of office bet. All I lot was a little bit of pride.
But look! Low of the day was 9998.03 FFS and there was a massive volume spike at the close and it settled over 10K. Rather proves my point.

I've got a bet on that the plunge protection team will not let the Dow go below 10K today. I'm in grave danger of losing this one.

I guess you might be able to sneak in at 11pm.
What I do: go for pints now, be extra happy and cooperative with the septics until midnight!
