    Well, maybe six months ago. Or pretty much any time before March.

      DOW is back over 51k. That means everything is good and nobody is allowed to complain.

        FYI, DOW doesn’t stand for anything. “Dow” is commonly used to refer to the “Dow Jones Industrial Average.”

          They weren’t implying it was an acronym. They were just shouting DOW at you.

              I’m fighting every urge to try turning that into an acronym.

                Don’t fight it. If it feels good, do it.

          Dow stands for Charlies Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company.

            No, his name is Dow. DOW doesn’t stand for anything.
