Wouldn't the reference to typographic points be better linked to Typographic_unit than to Typography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.130.37.228 (talk) 00:46, 19 August 2004 (UTC)

Where would I find an article to the military / infantry concept of "point man", or someone "taking point" when covering ground in formation? Other than movies, I have no clue what this all means, but would like to know. --Seer 07:09, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)

Stock market

Please link to a page that answers what does it mean when the stock market is "up 3 points."

I second this comment. I think there are many meanings within finance, even. Basis point doesn't seem to be it. There's also the Fed which recently "dropped rates by three quarters of a point" meaning "by 0.75%". I gather that an individual stock being "up three points" means "up three dollars per share", but like you, I came to this page wondering what it means for the Dow to be up three points. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Here's a reference: with some answers. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Places

Aren't there a whole lot of places named Point Something? It doesn't seem useful to call out a few of them here, and even less so to try to list all of them. I think this pages should just list places that are named Point, full stop. FreplySpang 00:01, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
