I'm not as investment savvy as GWB or RWH but to the layperson it certainly sounds impressive, closing at an all time high tonight after a steady climb all week. I also just heard that hiring is up and unemployment has dropped to 7.7%
Even personally, I have a phone interview set up for this monday even though I am already employed. The new position would pay more though and allow us to relocate closer to my wife's workplace. Her company paid out a couple thousand more in bonus's this year and she was actually able to pay off the smaller of her two student loans.
I also dropped off my snowmobile engine at local Polaris dealer a couple weeks ago to have a new water pump seal installed and was pretty surprised/frustrated that it took them two weeks.(It's only about 30 minutes worth of labor if you've got the special tool) Well I picked it up today and their shop was filled with sleds - he said they've been slammed with servicing old sleds and new sales. You don't piss money away on these things if you're struggling, so that spoke volumes for me.
