...slow but steady tempo has a positive side of its own. Among other things, it gives investors the confidence to put their money in longer-term investments. On Wall Street outspoken bulls insist that the stock market still has plenty of room to grow. Elaine Garzarelli, an investment strategist for Lehman Bros., looks for the Dow to hit 4000 by the end of the year and climb to 4600 in 1994. "My feeling is that any correction would be minor," Garzarelli says. "Interest rates would have to go up to offer an alternative to money going into stocks...
