Is it possible?

As of 2007, the index is at 1,000.

In 4 more years by 2010, it will be ...

1000*1.25^4 = 2441 (25% compound return)

1000*1.50^4 = 5062 (50% compound return)

1000*1.75^4 = 9378 (75% compound return)

Do you think it is possible?

no. that's too hot.

How about it reaches 5,000 by 2010?

The VN Index is on fire and pops to 1041, after dropping below 1000 earlier.

As of Wednesday
01/31


Value
1,041.33

That is more realistic

Vietnam Index is too hot.

As of Friday, February 2, 2007

Value
1,074.55

In the first month of 2007, the stock index already gained like 30%. If you want to cool the market, try to convince investors to stop buying.

if, the index reaches the near 5.000, v.n will not need the this record breaking limit, by this time nasdaq and nysx will be wanting to open suboffices, just like they plan to in shanghai and hong kong...

The index is gaining despite some of the biggest SOEs are not even on the index yet, especially the 5 largest banks. If the government is willing to privatise those 5 banks, (which is in the process of doing so) and lift the cap of ownership from 30% to 49% for foreign investors, the index will gain even more.
