This was the Getty image used today by the Hartford Courant to caption the newspaper's daily "the world is ending, or, wait, maybe not" stock market recap.
Something makes me hope that the first snow of the season just happened to be falling from the ceiling of the Exchange on this woman as this was snapped. If not, then I can only imagine she was attempting to speak to God, probably to ask that today's rally continues tomorrow.
Either way, does this photo really need to exist?
These sort of end-of-day Wall Street "reaction" photos are getting a bit ridiculous. In fact, for the most part, newspapers should consider recycling just two or three images, since they're always the same: either strange, possible drug induced ecstasy, or the typical head-in-hands, "woe is me" image of some guy who either blew it on the floor or just caught the last five minutes of Old Yeller (trust me, it's a sad ending).
With this in mind, I came across the blog titled The Brokers with Hands on Their Faces. The collections of sad sack images contained are pretty funny, as long as you don't have too much tied up in a 401K, I suppose.
