Believe it, Hank...............nobody knows.

Go ahead..........ask the heads of the big brokerages, the big banks, the Fed themselves to predict where the stock market will be in 5 years. Not one of them will do it, or can do it.

The economy is like the weather. The guys with big brains can see what's just around the corner most of the time, but they don't seem very good at long-term predictions because of the complexity of the system.
