While the Dow Jones Industrial Average is bumping up against an all time high, many portfolios are still nowhere near records posted in early 2000. The DJIA is a scant 44 points below its peak of 11722.98 that it reached in January of 2000 but it's interesting to note that the S&P 500 is 12% below its record and the Nasdaq is a whopping 55% short of the peak it reached in March of 2000.
