Just kind of a rant, but it annoys the hell out of me when people talk about market moves in points, like the DOW dropped 500 points today rather than just saying the DOW dropped 2% today (or whatever the equivalent is). Throwing out some arbitrary point value like 500 has not context to me without me actively looking up what the current price of the DOW is, while using a percentage gives me all the information in just a single metric.
