FYI:The S&P 500 hit 2000 intraday today for the first time in its history, and a close above that point could happen for the first time this evening. 2000 isn't a particularly important point from a technical perpective, and the move from 1999 to 2000 was no more important for the underlying valuation of the market than a move from 1998 to 1999. But 2000 is a nice, round number, and it serves as a good point to take a retrospective on how far the market has come during the course of this bull market.
