Goldman's Cohen Sees S&P 500 on the Rise

Friday October 5, 9:36 am Eastern Time

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS - news) chief strategist Abby Joseph Cohen on Friday said she sees the Standard & Poor's 500 index (.SPX) rising as much as 33 percent by the end of next year.

Cohen, the closely watched strategist who is often identified with the late-1990s bull market, told clients in a research note she sees the index closing the 2002 year between 1,300 and 1,425. The index opened down 1.34 at 1,068.29 on Friday.

``This 15-month time horizon is longer than our usual 12-month period for rolling price targets,'' Cohen said. ''However, many clients have asked for this longer view, given the uncertainty now present in fundamental data and forecasts.''

Cohen's previously published forecast for September 2002 is 1,250 to 1,400 for the index.

The 15-month target reflects Cohen's view that a recovery in corporate profits will be evident by the middle of next year, and that investors will be less averse to risk.

Cohen recommended that investors hold 75 percent of their portfolio in stocks and 22 percent in bonds, with a 3 percent allocation to commodities.

Maybe you should provide sources when giving the latest news scare, stomper. I can't find any source for this except a note on SI. (Not that I doubt the accuracy of postings on SI. I base all my trades on SI notes.) As far as I can find, every major news source is saying no other cases have been found.

Do you have a link for the news that another case is being investigated?

(I don't want to go short until another case of anthrax is found, you see.)
