Reasons to Look for More Bull in 2009
But guess what? The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost a whopping 31.62 points, for a grand total of 0.37%. Those concerns were a rounding error. But what's an article without a story line, even if it's made from whole cloth?
Anyhow, best wishes for a happy and healthy 2009. How'd you like to start it off as a vigilante, working for The Business Press Maven's marauding mob? Staying on the theme that past is prelude, we know that Friday's trading day, wedged between New Year's Day and the weekend, will be quiet. And important news will be buried and ignored. Well, my newly minted vigilante, send me anything important that looks underplayed, ignored, or timed to break on a day when everyone is still nursing a hangover. We'll start 2009 by trying to break the business media's old habits, which clearly die hard. Have a happy, healthy and profitable new year.TheStreet Premium Services
