道指突破一萬(wàn)點(diǎn)時(shí),我們?cè)诟墒裁?
1999年5月6日,紐約齊格菲劇院門口排隊(duì)的影迷。他們希望成為第一批觀看《星戰(zhàn)前傳1——幽靈的威脅》的觀眾,該片定于1999年5月19日上線。 最近,道瓊斯工業(yè)平均指數(shù)在歷史上首次接近20,000點(diǎn)大關(guān),這是非常值得關(guān)注的一個(gè)里程碑。道指首次突破10,000點(diǎn)關(guān)口是在1999年3月29日,當(dāng)時(shí)的世界與現(xiàn)在相比完全是另一番模樣。(在此之后,道指曾經(jīng)多次跌破又重返10,000點(diǎn)大關(guān),最近一次是在2009年的金融危機(jī)爆發(fā)后。)這一年iPhone還沒(méi)有被發(fā)明出來(lái),特朗普正在與第二個(gè)老婆鬧離婚,聽CD還是一件很潮的事兒。也許很多人感受不到道指突破2萬(wàn)點(diǎn)的重大意義,不過(guò)如果回顧一下當(dāng)年道指首次突破1萬(wàn)點(diǎn)時(shí),我們那時(shí)在看什么電影、聽什么音樂(lè)、用什么手機(jī),你就能明白道指究竟花了多久才走完了從1萬(wàn)點(diǎn)到2萬(wàn)點(diǎn)的征途,以及它還需要多少年才能到達(dá)3萬(wàn)點(diǎn)。 體育 |
Fans line up at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York 06 May 1999 to be the first to see the movie, "Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace" that is scheduled to open 19 May 1999. The Dow Jones industrial average is inching closer to 20,000 for the very first time in its history. It's a noteworthy milestone. The first time it hit 10,000, on Mar. 29, 1999, the world was a very different place. (It crossed a number of times after, including, the last time, in 2009 after the financial crisis.) iPhones did not exist yet. Donald Trump was in the midst of divorcing his second wife Marla Maples. Listening to CDs was not, yet, ironic. Dow points can start to feel meaningless. But the full rundown of what we were watching, the songs we were singing, and the phones we were using when the Dow cracked five-digits for the first time, gives you a good sense of how long it has taken the Dow to trek the last 10,000 points, and how long it could take to do the next 10K.
