When the Dow reaches 14375, call me.....

[WCGreen]

That will be where the Dow should have been given infaltionary impact over the six years the Dow has underperformed...

(12720 * 1.13 with 13% being the rate of inflation over the past six years....)

[indepat]

1. And only 13% inflation in six years is but one of biggest lies emanating

from this administration: ask how much more prescriptions, health care, gasoline and home heating et al cost than six years ago, a period of time when the 'puke congress has refused to increase the minimum wage.

2. I agree....

But I am just going on their numbers....

As a matter of fact, it was Art Cashem on CNBC who brought this matter up when all the other talking investment strategists were gushing over the Dow record last week...

[razors edge]

3. add to that

Bernanke cranking up the presses and no longer reporting the M-3 and who knows how high rates will go when the piper collects.

4. When the US casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan overtake the DOW

in 9 years at the current rate or maybe when the DOW drops below the level of US casualties, attack on Iran anyone?

Bush probably think he'll be raptured by then anyway.
