Almost 2 Billion, count em, 2 BILLION shares bought and sold today. They can say what they want about Peoplesoft and other malarkey, we have had good quarters before during the Bush era, yet average trades were in the millions per day. My guess is after last night the people of America from ALL income brackets have hope in our future, as well as the world has a bit more faith in us now. Reminds me of the 90's when our economy was king and this kind of day was more or less the norm, and just about every American was making some money and had food on the table and a decent job and educational opportunities to progress themselves.
