On that day Dow closed at 6626, today it is at 10,809. Still a very very long way to go.

in 1987 the dow went from the 2,500 level to around 1,750, so what's your point ? It's all relative. You could have said the same in 2009 about years earlier. It wouldn't change the fact that a rout is a rout.
