Ken Fisher: 1,300 on the S&P 500

It’s just a reversal of excessive pessimism. We still have a lot more bull market to go because we had such a huge bear market.

The economy is not recovering at a slow pace. America is faster than people think. Third-quarter GDP numbers knocked the socks off of expectations.

~ Ken Fisher, "Billionaire Fisher Sees S&P 500 Above 1,300 as Economy Recovers," Bloomberg.com, November 10, 2009

(Ken Fisher predicted the S&P 500 would reach 1,300. It closed at 1,093.08 on the day of the interview with Bloomberg.)

Could this be because of government spending? Cash for Clunkers, expanded unemployment benefits, hitting rock-bottom interest rates..

This GDP swell is illusory. It is not the result of a resilient US economy, but the government battleship firing all its guns and saying "See how well we're doing?"
