It's never been a better time to cash out those 401ks full of tech stocks.
Well, maybe six months ago. Or pretty much any time before March.
QQQ and VOO are both up handsomely year-to-date.
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.
NNNNNAAAAASSSSDDDDAAAAAAQ!!!!
I'm fighting every urge to try turning that into an acronym.
Don't fight it. If it feels good, do it.
And yet, you knew what they meant.
Sure, this time I managed to figure it out. Next time they screw up an acronym, somebody else might not.
Holy fuck, you'd have fun in the military.
Nobody would be having any fun.
Dow stands for Charlies Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company.
No, his name is Dow. DOW doesn't stand for anything.
Department Of War
We usually acronymize that as DoW, not DOW, though some people use all caps.
DOW is just his name in capital letters
THIS IS JUST A COMMENT IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Correct
