Most importantly it should be going to 6,000. There is nothing floating stocks except for traders leveraging up prices by borrowing. The only companies with decent earnings these days are making it trading paper back and forth. I believe this bear market rally will likely impoverish those who have foolishly bought the idea that you can create wealth without work. It is sort of like the fundamental punishment for laziness. In other words, the "get rich quick scheme" only hooks those that never get rich. You cannot profit on a tide that raises all boats, because wealth is relative - as the crowd gets bullish its time to short sell the markets. Literally, take advantage of that compulsive, greedy nature to sell stocks at prices FAR higher than their fundamental worth.
