Wall Street guru raises her price target for S&P 500 to 1385 by spring 2000

NEW YORK (CNNfn) - One of Wall Street's raging bulls, Abby Joseph Cohen, has raised her price target for the S&P 500 index for the spring of 2000.
In a report published Tuesday, Cohen, of Goldman Sachs & Co., increased her projected price target for the broad S&P 500 stock index to 1385, up from an earlier prediction of 1350 for early 2000.
The revised estimate was made in the May edition of Goldman Sachs' World Investment Strategy Highlights. No change was made to the investment bank's 1999 year-end price targets.
On Monday, the S&P 500 gained 19.45 points, or 1.46 percent, to finish at 1,354.63.
A few weeks ago, Cohen raised her year-end price target on the S&P 500 to 1325 from a range of 1275-1300, and increased her year-end price target on the Dow Jones industrial average to 10,300, up from 9850. Cohen based her upward revision on anticipation of profit expansion, saying she expects the Dow industrials to outperform the S&P 500 in 1999.
