My issue is not with the stock market. It's with this longstanding insistence upon using an easily-manipulated number derived from 30 cherry-picked companies that can be dropped for underperforming. And what's the fastest way for an underperforming company to raise its stock price?

Fire a few thousand little people just like you and me.

Sears just announced that they are closing more stores (ie., laying of a large number of employees). I wonder how their stock is doing?

Terrible lol
less than 4 bucks a share.
down 6 bucks a share over the last year
and down .10 just today

But hey... it should spike soon... right?

right?
