Its been a long year, but the Dow has closed about 10000 for the first time in over a year.

Its good news, its a psychological barrier that the US Economy has overcome. But, we aren't out of the woods yet. Stock Markets are generally a leading indicator, but the recovery won't be on its way until the unemployment rate drops, which unfortunetly for the unemployed masses, is a lagging indicator.

Maybe, just maybe, we have a reason to be hopeful, and hopefully by next Thanksgiving, a reason to be thankful.
