The predictions of the 66 stock market strategists we polled foretell a continuation of the bull market in 2004. But the gains are anticipated to be far more modest in the year ahead. On average, Wall Street's seers expect the Dow to rise just 6.2% for the year. Strategists are listed below in descending order, from the most bullish to the most bearish for the Dow at yearend.
