My crystal ball says we go up a bit more before the year closes. Clearly the market has some more room.

My primary brokerage account closed $3k from its all-time high yesterday.

No fear...c'mon greed!

Look like ATXFIRE2034 was closest to the year end 4766 result.

Congratulations on the prediction and the incredible personal gains ATX! You might be bumped up to fire in 2031/2032 with my class if you keep this progress up and the markets continue this bull run.

Where do I sign up for ATXFIRE2034’s 2022 newsletter predictions?

I hadn’t known about this Forum last year so couldn’t participate (not saying I would have been close to the right prediction).

Last January I did increase my Long term portfolio (later bucket) AA to 80/20 and also shifted much of my equity strategy to S&P 500 funds.
I’m not saying I was so smart, just very fortunate with the way this year turned out.

Almost everybody was running scared last year; all of the guesses were below the actual!
