I'm betting on NEVER. 14,000-something will be the all-time high. Our grandchildren (if we ever survive long enough to have them) will learn know of this number and its significant association with the peak of capitalist American society. They won't learn of the aftermath soon after the DOW retreated from 14,000 but will be told none of it was pretty in the coming years.
It's amusing to read all the fucknuts here who assume that if I'm not gambling my life savings away on debt, stocks and houses, then I'm going to be some prole. Bitches, I can buy anything I want, seeing how my needs are modest. My car could explode tomorrow, and I can just get another one for cash. Do you bitches even know what cash is, anymore? No, you rely on CREDIT, which you have to beg for from a BANK or CREDIT CARD company, and then they charge you UP THE ASS for it.
I've seen wayyyyyyyyyyy too many of you yuptards cryin' in your beer from playing the "wealth acquisition" game and then crashing spectacularly from it. DEBT IS NOT WEALTH. And, GAMBLING IS NOT INVESTMENT.
The banks are pwning you fucktards left and right. You're largely just a pack of pretend rich people. The only way you're "rich" is how you SPEND. And then, you have to bankrupt. Sorry if I think that makes you a pack of losers ... but then, you ARE.
