"Year-End Stock Review & Expectations": Since today was the final MarketWatchers LIVE for 2017, Tom and Erin took a look at what happened during the year as far as sectors, major indexes and gave their thoughts on 2018. Below are a few of the charts they showed. You'll find all of Erin's in the DecisionPoint ChartList including the two below. She shared her thoughts on the future of the Dow in 2018 and where she thinks the Dow will finish. Her "forecast" is Dow 25,500 at end of 1st quarter, Dow at 26,800 end of 2nd quarter and a finish on the year at 26,800.
