“8,000 is doable this year… Because 8,000 would be roughly 20 times 2027 earnings of 400. I think that's a low estimate. I think the PE multiple could be 22 or better”; and: “between now and year end, there should be something that might feel like a bear market too. Not in July, but maybe between August and October”
