I'm an optimist!

 

So am I. I was gonna guess "1".

 

 

Actually I'm thinking about the same range you were. I was just hoping this worked like The Price is Right, where if you are all too high, I win.

I'm kind of stuck between one of two numbers- 9500 and 10300.

 

I am not sure what difference it makes though. We have long bypassed the relevance of the Dow as a bellwether of fiscal health. We have been in uncharted waters since the mid to late 90s....staving off one crisis after another. Debt is NOT an economy. It is fool's gold.

[Kevin20]

It matters if you're investing; I wouldn't look at a stock index as a bellwether of the economy. They have other numbers for that.

True. But I stand by what I stated since the value of the US Dollar is at the core of our concerns as Americans.

 

On a similar note, check out Commanding Heights.
