Fact,
True, see the article below. I did your fact checking for you:

Don't believe everything you read in the papers. 666.79 was hit on the previous trading day; Friday 03/06/09.

Your data is wrong and mine is correct. I was there and remember it well.
Igy
Wow. Igy rewrites history.
Your chart data is wrong, and your sources are wrong. Here is a piece written in the months that followed.

A "piece"? That's a message board post!
Why do you have so much trouble admitting when you're wrong?
More articles, written by humans that show your electronic generated charts are wrong.
Unlike you, I was actually working in the business that day.
Experience.
Igy
Mango,
Unlike you I actually work in the industry and I was working very hard that day.
Anyway if I was wrong by a day so what.
Have a beer, mango salsa and some chips.
You anger will subside.
Igy
And where do these humans get their data?
"Unlike you"...again Igy pretends to know everything about everyone.
Jerry,
What do you expect? You have been a jerk to me since day one. Yesterday and today is no different.
More data if you please:

Had enough yet?
Igy
What do I expect?
I expect you to be honest.
I expect you to gracefully admit when you are wrong.
I expect you to not make assumptions about people that you don't know.
I expect you to recognize that there are two sides to every story.
I expect you to refrain from insulting people who have a different opinion.
Thanks for asking.
P.S. I have not been a jerk to you since day one. The evidence is clear that I supported you when I first posted on this thread. You have successfully turned this former ally against you. Congratulations.
Jerry,
OK, fair enough.
I apologize for any disrespect or criticism that was misinterpreted or unwarranted.
I have provided adequate evidence that my recollection is correct.
If I am off by a day, so what?
Igy
Just say it. Don't do the dance. Tell everyone you were flat out wrong and apologize to those you said were wrong when they were right. Be a man.
Jerry,
This type of comment shows your duplicity.
So no apologies are warranted to you or others.
Perhaps the difference is in the generations.
Treated this way deserves no quarter.
Igy
Dear Jerry, Loca, Fact, et al:
I am right, the low was 666 on March 9, 2009.
Evidence contrary to your charts:

I am The Man.

The S&P hit 666.79 on March 6, 2009. This is an irrefutable fact.
I cannot understand why anyone would repeatedly suggest otherwise in the face of the overwhelming evidence presented here and available elsewhere. Anyone denying the obvious lacks credibility and it is impossible for them to earn my respect.

Better call up Nasdaq and tell them they got it wrong too.
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/spx/interactive-chartAlso cross referenced SPY; it's intraday low was set on Friday 3/06/09 as well. 67.1 contra 67.73 on 03/09/2009.
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/spy/historicalWhat a sad, sad, little man is the Igy.
Muy loca and Big,
Kind of funny that I made a comment about 3/9/2009, 666 low, and the mark of the beast.
I am pretty sure the charts have some data error. I personally recall that day very clearly. I admit I am 65 and the memory fades, but I have quoted that day for years as if it was the financial equivalent of 9/11.
Nevertheless, a day difference is somewhat meaningless. If someone wants to hang me on this petty point, even when I have posted data to the contrary so be it. It is in my view a petty point.
I find it more important to discuss stock valuations, corporate earnings, interest rates, central bank policies and the general malaise that has hung over the global economy and markets since mid-2015.
Igy
I am actually 6'-3/4" thank you.
