Tao of Dow for March 30

by Simon Dumenco

• The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 45.50 points on Monday to 10895.86, and then opened high and quickly corrected in anticipation of today’s scheduled video premiere of Justin Bieber’s “Never Let You Go.” (Oh no, oh no, oh oh / They say that hate has been sent / So let loose the talk of love, of love, of love / Before they outlaw the kiss / Baby give me one last hug, last hug, last hug.)

• The Nasdaq Composite closed up 9.23 points to 2404.36, and then slid mid-morning, on word that Chaz Bono’s gender reassignment is now complete.
