Dow Surpasses All-Time High

Everyone is aflutter with the news that the Dow Jones industrial average traded above its record high close this morning. I’m not sure these benchmarks really matter. It may have a small psychological effect, with selling off in the short term, but I’m not too concerned.

I didn't get all that excited over the "new high" this morning. For starters, The Dow Jones Industrial Average isn't exactly our best measure of the economy. The S&P is way off its all time high and Nasdaq, well, we don't need to talk about that. Normally a fresh high for the Dow would spark excitement and probably a broad-based international rally, however, today's greeting was totally unexciting. Perhaps the lukewarm GDP numbers and appaling housing data have people thinking more conservatively about the markets.
