The forecasting site www.forecasts.org* says that the Dow Transports will recover 50% of its peak 2008 value by 2009Q3 Because of easing fuel prices, transports could be a lonely bright spot this year. I predict that IYT, the iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average Index Fund will track this move and by July will recover 50% of the difference between it's 2008 peak of $95 and it's current value of $55. *I have no association with this site Dave
