Excellent chart, MDT! D’ya happen to have the same chart, but showing the effect of reinvestment of dividends?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Hmmmm...bottom of the channel is around 4,000. I think 7,500 is likely, but we probably won’t go all the way down to 4,000 unless the Fed really screws something up.

Nice plot. It says that a 10,000 DOW would be about average.

However it also says that the DOW could drop as low as 4,000 over the next 30 year period.

Or it could soar as high as 20,000.
