    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.

    Sure, this time I managed to figure it out. Next time they screw up an acronym, somebody else might not.

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

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

    Don't bother with that user. They were arguing a few days ago that the economy is fine, that the current stock values weren't intentionally pumped and that Trump didn't straight fuck the market back in 2025 by applying tarrifs to our trade partners.

    Edit: ah there it is, another string of down votes on my comments lol, keep it up fuckass I dare you
