let reformulate :

and since when this* market index is related to reality ?



*speaking obviously of the Dow Jones



Ok Mr. Financial Wizard.

If it is so irrelevant, why is it one of the most referred to Indexes?

Because for lot of people it's still the reference ,like you know some 200 year after the creation of the meter some people still use inches.

I am not a tolerant person.  Especially of Yuropeans that have overly high opinions of themselves.

No, that's not true, you just don't like being contradicted , the fact I've a little bit more knowledge than you isn't important.

The only important think for you currently is your bruised ego.

  You mean by repealing the Bush tax cuts and giving a tax break to people who make less than $225.000 a year.  Also by helping business owners with health insurance costs. Yeah that sounds horrible.
Are you serious? If they tax the 'rich' it just makes it back down to the middle class. Tax cuts are good. 
No one knows what the future may bring.
