de the Millennium Dow
Contrast that with where the SuperBulls say the market's going, naturally. Financial gurus are falling all over themselves, one-upping and out-doing one another with predictions of the Millennium Dow. Meanwhile, the financial press is fanning the flames, keeping alive the public's dream of an eternal SuperBull:
· 15,000 by 2005: Morgan Grenfell economist Ed Yardeni · 18,500 by 2006: Prudential's chief technician, Ralph Acampora · 21,000 by 2008: Harry Dent, author of The Great Boom Ahead · 21,200 by 2010: Sheldon Jacobs, No-Load Fund Investor · 30,000 by 2010: Frank Jennings, Oppenheimer Funds. · 49,200 by 2013: Investor's Business Daily projection · 120,400 by 2025: Roger Ibbotson, economist · 153,000 by 2023: Investor's Business Daily again · 400,000 by 2047: Kiplinger's magazine.
So why risk timing the market? Just ride this bull market up, up and away .to prosperity. Buy'n'hold and you'll sleep better, and still build a winning portfolio.
