Dow 100

Authored by Simon Black and Tim Price via SovereignMan

It was just over two years ago that “The Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc.” began trading in the US stock market under ticker symbol GRLD.

GRLD was exactly what it sounds like– a truck that sells grilled cheese sandwiches.

Yet despite a history of heavy losses, the stock market valued the company at an extraordinary $107 million.

Skeptical investors would have been sharp to call that the peak of the market.

Yet the irrational exuberance continued.

Dow 20,000

Last week, I noted the market’s push toward the market milestone of 20,000. To wit:

“The Dow broke above 19700 and is within striking distance of the ‘psychological’ summit of 20,000. With just 250 points to go, it is extremely likely traders will try and push stocks to that level by Christmas. Woo Hoo!”
