To reach 50,000, the Dow wouldn't even need to double — it would require a 31.6% gain from the 38,000 level. If the DJIA companies only earned the current 1.77% dividend yield, it would take 15.6 years for the index to reach the 50,000 mark.

Where is the stock market headed?
The consensus 12-month analyst price target for the S&P 500 is 5,614, representing about 6.8% upside from current levels. Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial, says the S&P 500 is in a strong uptrend heading into earnings season.

To some investors, this might seem unlikely. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, an index that has astonished with its ascent over the past decade, likely will continue to astonish through the 2020s, rising to 50,000 by 2027.
Outlook for Next Week:
From a bullish perspective, we're near-term technically oversold, we've seen evidence of some panic selling (SMCI -18% ARM -12%, NVDA -5% just today alone), and therefore we may be setting up for a relief rally.

Buying stock FAQs
Buying stocks right now is a great decision for long-term investors. While the stock market fluctuates up and down over the short run, it's consistently increased in value over the long run. There's no better time to invest than right now.
No one can predict when the stock market will hit its next high, or sink to a new low. But history shows that recoveries have been happening faster. The Dow took 25 years to recover from the 1929 crash.

What futures are most profitable? Trading in futures markets such as the Micro E-Mini Russell 2000 (M2K), Micro E-Mini S&P 500 (MES), Micro E-Mini Dow (MYM), and Micro E-Micro FX contracts can be highly profitable due to their distinct market characteristics.
What is the most liquid futures market?
The CME Group's WTI crude oil futures contract is among the most liquid futures contracts worldwide, with a daily trading volume of approximately 1.2 million contracts. As of 2021, Natural gas futures traded about 400,000 contracts per day.
Crude oil leads the pack as the most liquid commodity futures market followed by corn and natural gas. Agricultural futures tend to generate the highest volume during periods of low stress in the energy pits, while gold futures have gone through boom and bust cycles that greatly impact open interest.
The S&P 500 lost approximately 50% of its value, but the duration of this bear market was just below average. The bear market was confirmed in June 2008 when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had fallen 20% from its October 11, 2007 high.
The highest closing price for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) all-time was $39,807.37, on March 28. The latest price is $37,767.67.
Despite the rally between them, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which peaked at 11,497 early in 2000, fell to 6,926 by March 5, 2009. Investors who held on through both crashes would have taken a big loss over a period of nearly 10 years.
