Using the Rule of 115 — a rough measure of how long it takes for something to triple based on a constant return — that’s a gain of roughly 7% per year.

If that rate of return holds for the future — and it’s smack in the middle of the 6% to 8% long-term range that many market observers believe is realistic — then the Dow would triple twice more over the next 32 years.

Bubbles down get that big. You can only BS people with so much monopoly money. Inflation is right around the corner.

A Question:

A DOW of 116,500 — Would the US dollar actually be worth anything?
What does it matter what the DOW is or will be? The inflation rate will strip away any real gain in wealth.

At that point the ?$dollar$? will be worth about .001 cents. And America will be worth less.

The DOW just might reach that high due to that pesky and persistent little factor called inflation.
