DOW 13,000!

Posted by Kirk Lindstrom Apr 25, 2007

Congratulations to all us longs!

• The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was 13,003.51 at 9:31am EST
• The NASDAQ Composite was 2,534.05 at 9:31am EST
• The S&P500 was 1,484.93 at 9:31am EST

On Feb. 28th, 2007 I posted the BLOG titled Feb 27th In Perspective where I wrote:

"Yesterday the DJIA closed at 12,216.24, down 416 points from the Feb. 26th close.Corrections are regular parts of the market. I see them as great opportunities to accelerate your dollar cost average plans if you are below your target asset allocation and are on a DCA program to get to your target asset allocation. If you are like me and take profits as the market goes up to keep a fairly constant asset allocation, then corrections are great opportunities to get some shares back at cheaper levels to regain your target asset allocation."

I am happy to report I eat my own cooking (take my own advice) and bought shares on that correction that are up significantly today. Congratulations to everyone who did the same.
