Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Relatively flat. Economy will motor along and the US will be queen of the pigs globally, but the Fed has to begin the tightening process this year and that should act as an anchor on returns.
I think the bigger questions are:
What will happen with bonds?
Will oil drop even further?
Will Congress get its act together on tax reform?
Will inflation suddenly pop up driving an absolute but not real increase in stocks?
Those are all critical inputs into stocks.
I will respond to these weighty questions and unruly economic forces by rebalancing my portfolio every six months and investing a fixed amount every month.
A trained monkey could do it. It wouldn't even have to be a particularly gifted monkey...
I was too much of a wimp to put out a specific number, but I think I actually did well on the contours...relatively flat, US is queen of the pigs, and the fed (at the stroke of midnight) started tightening.
As to the questions:congress remained congress, oil imploded, and inflation/bonds price volatility remained muted.
The aforementioned trained monkey performed his duties as expected in all regards and will receive an "Achieves Expectations" on his annual performance review.
