From Citi:

We still expect 960-1,015 in the S&P 500 and 9200-9400 in the DJIA to be seen in the coming months

By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — Is gold forming a bubble?

It seems that way to many, given its stunning rise in recent months. Their speculation has been fueled by no shortage of posts in the blogosphere that declare gold to be in a blow-off similar to the final stage of the Nasdaq Composite’s rise before the Internet Bubble burst in March 2000.
