10k and all that jazz... honestly who cares? 
The real question is what's next? More bland tweets from politicians about the economy 
and some financial institutions will probably just use this as an excuse to start screaming about "long-term performance advantages" like it's a new marketing gimmick 
. Can we please just get back to some actual substance, like discussing how to make shares more accessible to everyday people? 
It's more about what it means in the long run. Like, if you invest and reinvest your dividends, a 10k index doesn't really change that much. But hey, marketing is all about creating hype, right? 
Maybe they should focus on highlighting the benefits of investing in shares instead of just shouting about reaching milestones. 
It's also interesting to think about how it affects individual investors... like those who might get caught up in tech trends or short-term gains 
I mean, 10,000 points is a big deal and all, but can we be honest? It's not like it's the end of the world if some marketing folks get too hyped about it . The fact remains, the FTSE 100 has been steady for ages, so what's the fuss really about? Let's focus on promoting the benefits of long-term investments and maybe, just maybe, we'll see a more balanced approach from financial institutions . And btw, I'm more curious about how they're gonna make this milestone work without overdoing it The 10k milestone is cool and all, but when's the last time you actually checked your shares? 
. It's not like it's going to make or break your portfolio. And yeah, sure, dividend payments are important, but they're not the whole story. I mean, have you seen the makeup of the FTSE 100 lately? It's basically just a bunch of big companies with deep pockets... where's the love for smaller tech startups? 
. I know she's trying to be all confident and whatnot, but come on, this is just a snapshot in time. Long-term performance is what really counts, and let's not forget that cash holdings are still where it's at .
. The 10k milestone is cool I guess 
, but let's be real the marketing pizzazz is lacking 
. The fact that share prices are expected to rise long-term doesn't change the game for most investors 
. They're probably more worried about short-term gains 
than a fancy number on a screen . Financial institutions need to step up their promotional game and focus on long-term benefits rather than just hyping the number . Less is more, you know?
