Yes I know this has been fact checked, but I don't want to complain about that.

I want to complain how often we hear "down" or "up" by points or dollars over a very short period of time.

It should always be talked about in %. Because people who invest the money don't give a rats ass about the $ or point increase or decrease. They want to know how much they lost or gained.

Unless you are a broker or market maker, then you care, because it becomes about the volume of trades rather than the actual gain/loss.

Yeah, and 1000 points in 2012 is 3000 points today. The dow won't drop 3000 points because they'll just halt trading.
