(We will never lose our market capitalization because we have none.) ------------------------------ I'm not a money guy. I'm no financial analyst and rarely even mention the stock market on this blog. But even I can't help but notice the market has turned a bit ursine this month. So, knowing the Dow is currently at 21,200 and change (a far cry from the 27,000+ it was at a few weeks ago), I was curious about where the Dow stood on Obama's last full day as president.
