i do not think DOW will reach 13k this year. prolly i am a big bear ... but anyway.... if it does i would not mind @ all. mansion correct me if i am mistaken but NOV and DEC has not been a big gainer hoina ra? who knows lot of trends are being broken... but i still think now its time for the stocks to come down.... job market not so good housing down i.e. real estate big fear consumer sentiment down inflation may not be @ check and 10 yr yield is less than 5 year... classical sign for a turn to recession or already @ recession. may be i am a pessimist..
