You Tell Us: Dow 10,000

By

So that we’re all prepared for the balloons, streamers, and Maria Bartiromo, jumping out of a cake on the floor of the stock exchange, please predict when, down to the minute, this thing is happening. Is today at 12:47? Tomorrow at 3:15? Look into your crystal balls and let us know. The first to guess correctly will win either the last pair of Money Crocs we have left, or the opportunity to accompany me when I interview Christine Mancision, the girl who was nearly danced to death (I left her a voicemail at Luxor Capital and I’m confident she’ll want to discuss this thing further).
