At this point, I'm counting on dropping fuel prices to lower the CPI and on politicians to figure out a way to pump up the Dow before the election. I concur with those numbers, Other Mark’s dad.

I seem to recall 9000 in 2007 dollars, and "2008 dollars, up till now, are worth pretty close to the same as 2007, but that could conceivably change in the next two months." It seems to me that if 2008 dollars are "worth pretty close to the same as 2007," then a 387 point overage should more than cover. Of course, I'm just a lawyer.
