She's waving at the 2019 Top.

Any predictions on how much up/down we end up on December 31, 2019?

My crystal ball is telling me we end up down 13.37%

soccerluvof4 · « **Reply #4102 on:** January 02, 2019, 07:16:48 AM »

up 3.5%

frugalnacho · « **Reply #4103 on:** January 02, 2019, 07:17:53 AM »

Maybe for yall, I'll be at 0% because I got out of stocks before 2019.

Steeze · « **Reply #4104 on:** January 02, 2019, 07:27:04 AM »

I will say -5% with +\- 10% throughout the year. SP500 2250-2750.

I'm expecting flat to slightly up next year, comparable to inflation. I'll be surprised if we have a second negative year in a row.

Threshkin · « **Reply #4107 on:** January 02, 2019, 10:04:47 AM »

Here goes nothing.

Up 7.73% YoY. Many gyrations during the year but ultimately a good year.

Any predictions actually posted here would be insider trading, right?

SP500 up 0.13% in the first day of trading. Extrapolating out, we should see gains of 32.7% this year

(+/- 72.214%)

(Before you panic that we're finally having a run on the dollar I should mention the exchange rate bounced back by about 2/3 within a couple of hours.)

I read this at first and thought “2018 was a down year?” Then I realized that this is referencing the stock market itself, not my net worth. Clearly, tracking market movement is very important to me.

Are we even to the point we can call it a bear market yet? We're down a huge whopping 17%, and it's set us back almost a whole year and a half.

???

The S&P is up over 7.5% since this thread was started, and that's ignoring dividends. Not historically fantastic for ~21 months, but not bad and certainly not flat.

Looks like 90% of those were associated with bottoms! Which means that top was in!
