1. It's pretty bad if you invested at 14,000.

2. Tell me about it the S&P was near it's highs in 99 when I started an IRA.
But atleast now in 401k's it is worth investing heavily in growth funds while moving money to bonds.

3. That's a good way of looking at it, since it hasn't very much left to fall

6. Could become Dow 650 or Dow 65
Stock prices don't mean anything anymore, because all companies are going to have zero profits. So these prices are now nothing more than a social construct. The good news is that Dow could be worth 14000 again too - that was surely a social construct.
