Most bullish investors seem somewhat confident about the markets with 43% indicating that the S&P 500 will rise less than 10% for the remainder of the year, and 13% stating that the S&P would rise 10% or more. Investors remain divided over expectations for US economic growth, with 43% of investors surveyed anticipating an increase, and another 39% predicting a decrease in GDP growth for the rest of 2008.
