DOW 19,800
S&P 500 2300
Wild ass guess, throwing darts, etc.

Everything looks pretty rosy. I'm going with 16500 and 1800.
Definitely bought some XOM today...when seven analysts say BUY, I buy...lol. I did enjoy our cheap gas prices, now its time to reinvest those dividends.
Still trying to figure out where to put the other cash stash.
DJI 19,500 S&P 2250.
Unless we have a strong first quarter and GDP sustains with low jobs numbers, then I will be back to revise my estimate higher provided there are no global catastrophes, bad weather, and just about anything else you could think of.
Recognize that these predictions were all made 12 months ago! I will post the current ones after the 2015 deadline.Wow - well they are quite optimistic on the oil prices, IMO.
I think that article wa written at the start of 2012, and needs some serious updating.I think I want to revise my estimate already, based on some new knowledge. Politics aside (which is impossible as politics do affect markets). in years where there is a Dem Pres and Rep Senate, avg returns have been 21.3% (years 1961 to 2010).
With that in mind, I am going to already revise my estimate up on the S&P500: 2497.4 when the bell rings Dec 31, 2015.
Let's hope I win !

Dow....20150
S & P...2015
After all it is 2015!
My crystal ball for 2015 says DOW 16700 and S&P 1870. Most years it is wrong and I seriously hope it continues to be wrong based on these guesses.
This is fun. I'm going to play the contrarian and say 16,800 for the DOW and 1,978
for the S&P, but just wait for the rocket ride of 2016!
I think Cooch is closest on the Dow
I was expecting about a 10% correction this year, so both the Dow and S&P finished about 7% above my forecast so I guess I should be happy.
BTW, dividends will make the S&P and Dows total return positive this year.
