Market Today

[Townsend]

What are you Mister Ticker now?  Where's the tape come out?

Oh don't be coy...you know.

This morning the Dow got to 10,998.53, then plummeted almost a hundred points.

Either Gaspar started shorting or the financial gods have it in for me.

My guess is a lot of people decided this is a good time to lock in some profits.  It will eventually hit 11,000, but I'm guessing end of next week.

I dumped 30 shares of Tupperware because I knew that would be enough to tip the market.

10,999.66 now. It was over 11,000 for a while earlier.

Careful, Gaspar will start shorting his Little Debbie shares.

[dbacks fan]

I see that it hit 11016 and change at 11:30.

Now was the bet that it would hit 11,000 or close at or above 11,000?

Let's put a wager on it Gaspar.

You think the Dow will drop below 6,000.

Let's bet.

I say the Dow will be over 11,000 before it drops below 8,000.

Loser buys winner a case of Marshall's Beer.

Are you in?


I hate to bet on the failure of the market, but I'm in for a 12 pack (that way I can buy a case, and drink the other 12 myself to make me feel better).  

12 oz!

A little vauge in the bet, but as some one with no stake in it I would have to give it to RM.

[Conan71]

Since I'm hoping he will share, let's call it a win 

[Gaspar]

It is a win, and I shall make good! 

I must admit, I'm not sad that I won.  I'd rather see the market perform well then drop.

[RecycleMichael]

Hooray!

Gaspar and I will make plans and of course I will share (but bring more of your own if you plan on drinking lots).

Where can we drink in public without getting arrested?

Any Tulsa road construction site I think.

That was a grand slam right there...
