Where is the Dow & others heading in 2005?

[FetteredChinos]

fundamentally, yes..

but could also be construed that the economy is growing faster than expected. hallelujah, praise the lord, the good times are back. euphoria rally.

basically, any number can cause it to go in either direction.. it just depends how the institutions are feeling on that particular day..

 

[Racer]

And if it is growing faster then interest rates can increase more and they won' t like that.. but depends if they are thinking about that at the time.. might delay that thought till next week LOL

DALLAS (MarketWatch) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. reported a 44% increase in first-quarter profit Thursday morning, as earnings from exploration and production and refining and marketing improved and chemicals income set a record. The world's largest oil and gas company said its net income was $7.86 billion, or $1.22 a share. Excluding a gain, Exxon Mobil would have earned $7.4 billion, or $1.15 a share. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call expected per-share earnings of $1.20, on average.

down 0.63% pre-market
