Well Alta......
The Dow NEVER reached 12,000 in 2000. By then we were well on our way into the Clinton recession, helped along by the dot com bubble burst.
As far as the economy vis a vis growth, you spoke a litle too quickly. Results reported today show that first quarter growth for the Dow and S&P 500 companies was about 7%, a far cry from the 4th quarter performance.
So go drool on yourself with your own inane dribble!
