The DOW closed at 8341 at the end of 2002, that's down from 10,021 at the end of 2001. Keeping in mind the tumultuous ride the stock market has underwent in the past year, it is time to predict what the value of the DOW will be at year's end 2003.
The DOW has fluctuated almost 3500 points since January 1, reaching a high of almost 10700 in March and bottoming out at 7200 in early October. Since that time, it has slowly gained ground and now sits at just of 8300 (although it had almost reached 9000 early in December). However, in this jittery economy the DOW’s slow gain in value over the past three months could be erased in a heartbeat.
With that in mind, what do you think the market will close at on 12/31/2003? Will it continue to slowly regain value perhaps reaching 10000 by years end? Or will another terrorist attack or corporate scandal wipe all this out, dropping it back to levels unseen this past decade? Or perhaps just wallow in the 7000-8000s like it has been doing for a couple of months now.
Please predict what you think the DOW will be on day of close 12/31/2003. First of all, vote in the poll which is broken into brackets of 250, then respond by putting an exact round figure.
Feel free to comment on how you came up with your prediction. It will be fun to see who won on January 1, 2004!
