Dow 10 000 psychological milestone underscores two tier market
Ralph Acampora of Prudential Securities explains why 10,000 on the Dow matters beyond a simple round number. He cites investor psychology, the strength of blue chip stocks like GE and J&J, and a two tier market shown by nasdaq and other indices, urging selective stock picking and focus on aging demographics, financials, and tech plays.
