I believe this based on the following facts;</p> <p>1.) Near the begining of 1990 the dow was at aproximatly 2590<br /> 2.) It has been 18 years and the dow increased almost 5 fold<br /> 3.) The GDP and the US population increase does not support the dow increasing by these numbers.<br /> 4.) At best case the dow average should be only around 4100 points (not even considering the housing crunch).</p> <p>Do your research you will see that the markets are over priced and this is just the market correcting itself.</p> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:16:14 -0400 Kevin comment 6750 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/dow-jones-index-dips-below-10-000-2009#comment-6743 <!--paging_filter--><p>The prediction has been judged.

The Dow closed at 10,325. That's not that far away from a favorable judgment on this prediction. A lot are worried that the "bail out" won't work. From the reports I've read, the $700 billion figure came almost out of thin air. $500 seemed too low, and $1 trillion seemed too high. I'd be willing to bet (no pun intended) that this is just the first "bail out". We'll surpass the $700 billion mark.</p> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:38:25 -0400 Eric Hill113600 comment 6695 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/dow-jones-index-dips-below-10-000-2009#comment-6548 <p><!--paging_filter-->Food for thought ... <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&amp;sid=aqB2tptFv8zg&amp;refer=us" title="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&amp;sid=aqB2tptFv8zg&amp;refer=us" rel="nofollow">http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&amp;sid=aqB2tptFv8zg&amp;refer=u...</a></p> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:34:20 -0400 David Kuan comment 6548 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/dow-jones-index-dips-below-10-000-2009#comment-6538 <p><!--paging_filter-->Dead cat bounce over.
