I listen to a radio station that has CBS news on the hour. The news reader says if the Dow is up or down, but if I want to know the number, I have to search for it. I believe the Dow was up to around 37,000 when Covid it, and dropped to around 32,000 at the depths of the crisis. I don't pay that much attention, but those numbers stick in my mind.

It is a plus for President Biden. Even if most people don't keep an eye on what the stock markets are doing, it is a sign of what the economy is doing. It seems like the nuts and bolts of the economy are improving too. Maybe families will be able to get by on one or two jobs, instead of three or four, sooner rather than later.
