Coach,
I remember owning a book by Harry Dent about 10 years ago, entitled "The Roaring 2000s". I no longer have the book, but I seem to recall he was making a prediction, with charts, where the Dow would go to 41,000 or so, based upon demographics. Like you, this is not to put him down, but to say that "all" predictions made by anybody should be taken with a grain of salt. Just my opinion.
Regards,
Ray
