Dow 16K? Commentary: Index could be at 16,000 by year end, Richard Band says By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch Last update: 11:29 p.m. EDT March 27, 2008 ANNANDALE, Va. (MarketWatch) -- Richard Band is not someone who makes outlandish predictions just to get headlines. So I sat up and took notice earlier this week when he wrote to subscribers of his Profitable Investing newsletter that the stock market was ready to "rocket higher" in an "uptrend that could carry the blue chip indexes to all-time highs by late 2008 or early 2009. Dow 16,000 here we come!" The Hulbert Financial Digest (HFD) has been tracking Band's newsletter since the beginning of 1991. Over the subsequent 17 years, his recommended portfolio has been 35% less volatile than the overall stock market, as measured by relative volatilities. To use a baseball analogy, this shows that Band is more inclined to try to get a base hit than he is to attempt to belt a home run. Band's conservative approach is crucial to properly interpreting his newsletter's performance. According to the HFD, the newsletter's model portfolios on average have produced an 8.6% annualized return since the beginning of 1991, in contrast to 10.9% annualized for the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 index ( 13,255.14, -108.70, -0.8%) . But with only two thirds as much risk, we should expect some below-market return. SELANJUTNYA...Mohon nyari sendiri....Disclaimer ON
