Stock Market Sentiment Again
OK Guys, I did this last year, I'm just trying to get an idea of investor sentiment. The question is where the DJIA will finish 2004. I am hoping with the positive markets in 2003 I will get more interest in this thread than last time with only 15 votes.

The Super Bowl Indicator (AFC won) says down.
Presidential Election Year with an Incumbet Running Indicator says up. Short term direction of the market? Who knows!

Economy recovery signals positive market sentiments. Weak dollar policy suggests capital flight and weaker capital markets. Low inflation and a cap on interest rates suggests a buoyant bond market, at the expense of the stock market. The signals are so mixed. I say the stock market will end the year up slightly (maybe 3% to 5%).

The DOW will be down 20% by the end of 2004.
More significantly the housing bubble will bust at the end of 2004 or 2005. However, if the $ continues to go to lala land housing prices could increase with continued foreign buying but I doubt it. Oil prices will continue to increase and Venezuala will have a new freedom loving government. So buy oil, short house builders. Gary |

There will be a huge ag surplus this year, driving food prices lower, severely undercutting ag competition around the world.
All the election Bull$hit will accumulate..... B |

Oil production will decrease, consumption will increase, the dollar will reach 1.30-1.45 to the Euro, and the stock market will decline as the last manufacturing job leaves the US.
Gas will hit $3.00 or more per gallon by the end of the summer (remember, the "deregulators" are in the White House!). Not a pretty picture. Peter

Dow 36,000 -- Glassman redux
Does anyone know why silver prices have been steadily rising after stagnating for the last five years? What are the key drivers of the silver price cycles? Is silver a major component in electronic equipment, and thus is a leading indicator of manufacturer's confidence in future production? Higher demand = Higher price Anyone? |

...thanks Mr. Big-Help. I've got a 100 oz. bar of silver that I'm dying to get rid of, but only at the right time.

2. Partly for the reasons above, partly because China's economy, and use of commodities, is rising at a rapid rate, commodities in general (esp. their price in $$) have risen over the last couple of years after a 20 year bear market - the CRB index is at its highest point since 1984. 3. More silver has been "consumed" (i.e. for industrial and ornamental use) than has been mined for the last 15 years or so. COMEX reserves are at very low levels. Take a look at the historical ratio of gold to silver prices. While silver's made up ground in the last few months, it still is very low by historical standards. You're familiar with the Kitco site; also look at www.silverinstitute.org and www.silver-investor.com. I'd keep your bar for a while; it'll be worth something someday. |

Thanks for the insight. My dad bought the bar sometime back in the '70's at an insanely high price, when he was conned into thinking it could only go up up up--it didn't.
