Does anyone know whether they set them more frequently than quarterly? Since, well, 1100 points is about 14% now....

Apparently many. In honor of him I propose the Holler (his last name) index.
Here formula I've come up with, feel free to edit:
[(over reaction score, from 1-5) + (jr. traders acting like lemmings score, 1-5) x (# of companies saying they will NOT go bankrupt) + (general douchiness of CEO's for the day 1-10) x (Ted Spread)]

BTW, glad to see GS at 92. Anyone for 82? MS at 8 this morning, down from 12 yesterday.
LEH CDS at 9 cents per $dollar. Holders who paid 27 cents per $hundred should be overjoyed. What a f'n payday.

@50 Wow, I hadn't visited that page in MONTHS, and it was still holding the old data. I hit "refresh" and now it says 1100. VERY weird that the NYSE site is set up that way. I close my browser and log out every day, and NO other site I've ever visited holds an old page view through that -- not even silly, unimportant sites.
