This will vary on opinion:

dow: The Dow will begin to recover definately by the second half of this year, some including myself believe in the forecasting ability of the markets and therefore will recover sooner and we cant afford to miss it.

dollar: Check out the dollar rally to the EURO, a very good sign in my opinion.

oil: To save the economy oil will be kept low although some think that it has to get to 65 to keep world markets healthy ( I think lower ). Bear in mind how long it was at 20.

gold - Many expect a rally in gold that will last until the TARP really takes effect which may take 2 or more years since it is such a revamp in banking and real estate that will be needed it cant possibly happen overnight

Hope this helps. Of course some or all of this could be totally wrong and that is why we all bet INDIVIDUALLY. But hope for group realizations to allow investment to raise our trade or investment stocks.
