S&P 500 Prediction 2024

[tulak]

Oh, so close.

 

[audreyh1]

Yeah, day high 5983.84, close 5973.10.

Still it’s much closer to the Shining Star division than any other.

 

[SloHan]

Hit 6000 today, go Shining Star Division

 

[tulak]

And let’s see if it sticks!

 

[sengsational]

Last year I went with 6,000, I think. This year, I'll go with 6101. Nobody is going to out optimistic me, LOL!

Going for the win!

 

[MichaelB]

Don’t jinx it! Still almost 2 months to go

 

[Jerry1]

Yes, but just a little more than an hour to close in the shining star division. Who would have thought - oh yes three people did. Wow.

 

[audreyh1]

Holy Smokes!

 

[sengsational]

6000 is a dream

The dream didn't come true today (on the close), but soon?

My best year was in 2015, where I had 45% gains after coming off 33% the year prior.

I would like a repeat of that, please.

S&P 500 has closed in the Shining Star division for the first time! Woo-hoo!

F.I.R.E. User currently has the closest guess.

 

[audreyh1]

There seem to be some technical issues getting these to play embedded.

I didn’t realize the stock markets traded today since it is a bank holiday.

omg... hopefully 6000 stay til the end of the year. Seems like only a few people predicted correctly. Those guess right, what is your YTD 2024? and 2023, 2022? Maybe you should be the finance advisors for me... hehehe

That is what I'm thinking too!

I would like to subscribe to "Shining Star News Letter" . when available. Plus any tips for next year as I am working on my guess for Jan. 1

 

[FloridaWizard]

Lots of safe, conservative guesses here. I'm going to bet big on an election year, soft landing, and the end of Fed tightening. 6,100

I'm liking my prediction right now Although I'd be happy to lose to sengsational's "Price is Right bet one dollar higher" strategy and make even more ...

 

[audreyh1]

Yeah it’s partying right along! New high today of 6099.97!

You and me both!

End with a boom by year end ... 6100? Dream is free.
