Quite a few years ago, a stockbroker from a local office did the closing prices on a popular AM radio station. He always quoted the Dow like this:

"The Dow Jones was up ten dollars and 15 cents" if the close was +10.15.

Of course people blindly followed his lead, and there was an outbreak of this type of quoting for a while. Very funny.

Mimo,
A local broker that gave reports to our hometown radio station always mentioned the "physical year". She reported for years before changing.
