Hi Space Cadet. I still give Favors no credit until we see 6.4K which was his prediction. A trip to 7.4k still falls within recent trading range.

Check out market's action in Jan. of this year. Terrible start, followed by a rally. That could be in the cards, IMO. Earnings should be fine in light of all estimate cuts and seasonally strong Q4 outlook, even for the telcos. PC sales per unit volume is still strong. Check out BBY & Circuit City earnings, INTC's announcement...

I am looking for a backend-loaded year in which DOW closes around 8500-8600 and NAZ between 1820-1850.

Clint

I give him a lot of credit already. Right before the interest rate cut, almost all the comments I saw were very bullish, including some of the leading bears on SI.

I am no expert, but look back in the past to what has happened when the market is at extremely high P/Es and money starts flowing out
of the market. (I think you will have to look back further than you have been investing)
