    A little Wall Street contest for everyone. Predict where the Dow Jones average will end the year. Right now, it's hovering around 14,000, but over the past year, it has ranged from 11,600 to 14,100.

    You've got some signs of positive economic growth, but you've also got warning signs in the mortgage loan industry, home foreclosures, etc.

    Winner gets the book, "600 Ways to Go Bankrupt" by MC Hammer.

    If you come within 100 points, you may want to start rethinking your career choice.

    The Captain's call: market is overvalued right now and I'm selling short. 12,689 at year end.

    Considering I used to work for Merrill Lynch, with my father and brother, I should have a good answer for this. But I don't.

    I think we'll finish around 13,000, but who the hell knows. This is a damn tough time to be in the investment business.

    Another Fed rate cut is on the way. The DJIA will finish up at 14,200.

    Before that comes, I see the DJIA dropping to 13,500.

    What's the deadline?
    Can we wait until the Consumer Confidence Index gets released at the end of October or do we have to make a prediction in the next week or so.

    If I have to make a prediction now, it will be 13,269.. yes, that will be my final answer. 13,269.
