She also remarked that the tell-all period that has roiled Corporate America is nearing its end. "We're close" to the end of the corporate revelations, Cohen said.
To that end, she predicted, the upcoming Aug. 14 deadline for top company executives to verify their firms' books will be a positive for the markets.
Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics and a guest on the Sunday-morning news program, commented that U.S. economic fundamentals and prospects are "the best in the world."
In April, Goldman's Cohen had said her 2002 target for the Dow ($INDU: news, chart, profile) was 11,300 and for the S&P 500 ($SPX: news, chart, profile) it was 1,300.
