How many points did you end the decade with?
Decade has another year to go yet.
That is open for debate.
The folks on CNBC today referred to today as "the last trading day of the decade" several times.
I looked it up, and actually there are two ways to do it.
______________________
There are two methods of counting decades in recognition. One, called ordinal, counts decades starting with the first year 1 CE (For example, the years 1981–1990 is referred to as the 199th decade), while the other, called cardinal, groups years based on having the same digits (For example, the years 1980–1989 is referred to as the 1980s, or commonly known as the eighties).

But, you are in the minority.
A YouGov poll was conducted on December 2, 2019, asking 13,582 Americans whether the following decade would begin on New Year's Day 2020 or New Year's Day 2021.
Results show that 64% of Americans answered the next decade will begin on January 1, 2020, and will end on December 31, 2029. 19% of the Americans surveyed replied they are unsure, while 17% answered the next decade will begin on January 1, 2021, and will end on December 31, 2030.

Whomever those people were that were polled, the 17% are not thinking it through.
Think about the decades we went through...
Like, when you speak of the 1980s. What do you think of? 1980 to 1989. That's 10 years.
If the decade went from 1981 to 1990, you have a "9" in there. So it is not truly the "80's".
How about the millennium?
January 1st 2000 was the start of the new millennium. We had HUGE celebrations for it. That's 100 decades, set in precedent. 1,000 years accepted by everyone as the turn of a decade, century, and millennium.
And by the way folks, this past decade shall be known as the 2000 naughts, or "20 naughts." Not the "2000's". Have some couth!
This is a fantastic
It's amazing how with trading one can have direction wrong so often and still make loads of dosh.
But this is a journal, and journals are for fun, not facts, lets not have reality get in the way of a good story.
That's what keeps bringing me back here, bing bang bong and all that!
Oh how I love this place.
