When will the DOW hit 15,000?

I'm betting on NEVER.  14,000-something will be the all-time high.  Our grandchildren (if we ever survive long enough to have them) will learn know of this number and its significant association with the peak of capitalist American society.  They won't learn of the aftermath soon after the DOW retreated from 14,000 but will be told none of it was pretty in the coming years.

There is no such thing as a guaranteed investment except a savings account or CD.  Please make the same statement as a broker.  Please.  I'll need the link to it, so that I can inform the SEC about the crime you just committed.

If a return was that easy, everyone in such a market (which is millions upon millions) would be doing it, and as such, it could NOT deliver, since stocks are a zero-gain instrument.

BTW, that $100K only needs to be put into ONE bank, since the FDIC insures that amount at least.

As it is, conservative investment is only being demonized since you "investards" feel squeezed by inflation and job losses and the housing bubble into taking absurd risks with your money.  This risky environment is only making you poorer, as the news clearly shows.  So eventually, Americans will become so poor from stock losses that SAVING MONEY will return as the basis of an American's financial life.  Cut costs and save money.  Nothing else works for the middle class.
