S&P 500 2800 By Years End

BMO spokesman Brian Belski (president/chief?) says S&P 500 to go to 2800 by years end.
Now I have no personal connection to this guy. Im convinced he read my post yesterday about the 67 % crash thats coming, and wanted to calm me down.
I can not find his predicting accuracy but I like what he has to say. In the fine print of the broadcast they mentioned it was 2600-2800. but they were touting the 2800 as the upper limit.

He said any pullback should be bought up aggressively.

Maybe I should start the BCG investment adviser firm. Most of these shows tape in NYC, if they send me a limo I would be good for ratings. I could even cook while Im giving out my predictions. If they try to stump me with some technical question I'll ignore them and say, "OK now for those of our watchers in TV land, this is when you add the Marsala wine, be careful it might flame up!, Whoa look how beautiful that looks."

PS, if i remember Ill see on 12/31 of this year if we are at 2600-2800.

If we are, I'll invite him on my show during the episode of when I make Tiramisu.

Is this only binary? Perhaps in October the S&P takes 5% "crash" (aka "pullback") you had posted about yesterday. And then in December rallies back to 2800 by year-end. Both are then right.

A correction has been predicted shortly after the last correction. One time or another they'll be right. I'm not as concerned as when or how much, but for how long. I have enough stashed away to ride out 5 years without much thought.

Such predictions are less than worthless. As a contrarian, I much prefer people predicting crashes or corrections and the like.

Wow, If this turns out to be the case, I will send the limo to you, I will say you predicted this back on Sept 26th. You could start a website, and ill post link to my recipes. BTW I hope it does turn out like that. we all would make a killin

I cook, but had to look up Oreganata style. I am ready to try something new.

By the way, if you post any recipe, must have some photos. RobbieB always shows us what his culinary acquisitions look like with a photo. You cannot do any less.

I usually just use the camera on my phone and send myself an email with the pic attached.
