Surprisingly not as crowded an area as I thought...

A little slowdown - or a recovery from a relatively shallow correction - will lead to +8.5% in growth.

So, my magic number is: DOW 17,985

Ah, was waiting for the brave prediction.

But which one is braver? 10,003 or 24,000?!?

That's quite a range of guesses! :blink:
