960.0. "Step right up-PROGNOSTICATE.." by LACV01::CORSON (Higher, and a bit more to the right) Wed Jan 03 1996 21:58

    
    Suggest we all take a moment to review Note 805, and our predictions
    for 1995.
    
    	Since I like to go first, I'll put my little hinny out for 1996:
    
    
    				HIGH			LOW
    
    	DJIA			6025			4800
    
    	Fed. Rate		5.75			4.75
    
    	DEC			$70.00			$42.00
    
    	Mortgage 30-year	7.250			6.125
    
    	Best stock(Big Board)		Seagrams
    
    	Best stock(NASDAQ)		Geerlings and Wade
    
    	Biggest story in computer industry in 1996 will be the break-up and
    sale of Apple Computer. A Japanese firm (probably SONY) will buy the
    hardware piece, and IBM takes all the software.
    
    	Worst story is the continued profitable growth of COMPAQ into
    the #2 computer co. in the world...

960.2Money Where Mouth Is?PCBUOA::GLANTZThu Jan 04 1996 17:262
    So are either of .0 and .1 buying AAPL and NOVL, or is your prognosis
    merely theoretical?
960.3APPL at $31.625....LACV01::CORSONHigher, and a bit more to the rightThu Jan 04 1996 19:422
    
    	Speaking for .0 - Yep...
960.4NOVL is a BUY IMHOCSCMA::BALICHFri Jan 05 1996 09:0311
    
    re .2
    
    I would buy both if I had the money ... I think NOVL is a better
    buy for three reasons ...
    
    1. The sell off of WP will give the stock a quick pop.
    
    2. ANY rumor of NOVL being bought will pop stock,if its true watch out.
    
    3  NOVL is very close to its 52 yearly low.
