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%

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.

Here goes nothing.

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

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

(+/- 72.214%)

I mean if we're going to post scary graphs, I find this one (USD:Japanese Yen exchange rate today) more worrying than apple.



(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.)

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

What did you buy though?  Cash may very well be down 10% WRT stocks be the end of the year.

That kind of dollar volatility is why thorstach recommends we all buy cryptocurrency. No volatility there...

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.

Since thorstach has left us in this, our time off greatest need, I thought I'd add this chart, which shows that rapid stock market increases are indeed a sign that the end times are upon us. Stolen from the oddstats twitter feed.

???

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!
