Spooky
Barry Ritholtz notes that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at about about the same level on 9/11 in 2001 and 2009. On 9/10 2001, it closed at 9,605.51. The markets never opened on the day of the attacks, so technically that was the price on 9/11/01, also. On 9/11 2009 the Dow closed at 9,605.41. Fate? The hand of the financial gods? An omen? No, just coincidence. And a sign of a whole lot of financial turmoil and ulcers in between. (Click on the link above to Ritholtz for a chart that makes this painfully clear.) If the Dow is 9,605 on 9/11 2019, then we can talk about bad cosmic vibes.
This has been circulating Wall Street trading desks: On both 9/11/01 and 9/11/09, the Dow industrials were at 9605. (it was the close of the 9/10 in 2001, since markets never opened on 9/11 2001).

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
