Birinyi Sees Dow at 12,000 by End of Year, Barron's Reports
New York, March 20 (Bloomberg) -- Laszlo Birinyi, president of Birinyi Associates Inc., sees the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 12,000 by the end this year, resulting in a 25- percent gain for 1999, Barron's reported. Birinyi tracks stocks by examining their money flow, or whether investors are willing to pay more than the market price for a stock that's rising, or to sell a stock that's falling for less. Birinyi says that American Online Inc., American Express Co., Apple Computer Inc., Charles Schwab Corp., Ford Motor Co., International Business Machines Corp., J.P. Morgan & Co., LSI Logic Corp., Merrill Lynch & Co. and Motorola Inc. have the best money flow, while Allstate Corp., Atlantic Richfield Co., Bestfoods, Campbell Soup Co., Harris Corp., May Department Stores Co., National City Corp., New York Times Co., Occidental Petroleum Corp. and Walgreen Co. have the worst, Barron's reported.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed the 10,000 benchmark three times during the past four trading days, though it has yet to close above it. (Barron's 3/22 40 www.barrons.com)
