The Dow rallied more than 100 points to close above the 16000 mark for the first in history amid optimism the Fed will keep its foot firmly on the economic accelerator.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) rose 109 points, or 0.69%, to 16010, the S&P 500 (GSPC) advanced 14.5 points, or 0.81%, to 1796 and the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) gained 47.9 points, or 1.2%, to 3969.

Wall Street has rallied in a big way this year. The Dow is up more than 22%, and has rallied 145% since its bear-market low in March 2009.

All I can say is if you own stocks in your brokerage account and they’re way up this year, protect yourselves by putting a trailing stop order.

See here:

Many people know how to buy but seldom do people sell ( until it is too late ).

Yep. Workers are getting shafted and we’re supposed to celebrate an artificial stock market.

BTW, love the tagline! You are dead right. I wish that more FReepers understood that truth.

This is the biggest con of all time.

Dow Jones tracks stocks to come up with their average.

Let a stinker come along and poof, it is gone as fast as Enron.

And if the ‘official’ unemployment rises to 20% Bernanke can push it up to 20,000...

No place else for money to go. The feds keep pumping funny money to the stock market. This is a much bigger bubble than the housing market and the crash will be absolute at this rate.

A crash is inevitable, but not necessarily imminent. It’ll be brutal....the low will be 50% off the high.

He never will (admit it). He’s a Republican who thinks that the stock market is an indicator of the nation’s financial health.

Just like before Black Tuesday in 1929. I think this whole thing will come crashing down just like then.

Another one who doesn't get it is radio talk show host Bob Brinker (Moneytalk), who thinks the stock market is some sort of positive indicator of the financial health of the country, when in fact it is a symptom of a poor economy, since that is where money is parked when there is a lack of better rates of return. Brinker also blatantly ignores politics as if economics operates in a vacuum.
