I reckon the Santa effect will stop it dropping much further.
@frugal.rock looking good. @Faramir might take home the trophy though.

2024 CY XAO Prediction Comp.
Update: End of the 3rd Week in December and with only a bit over 1 week to go. The XAO is up 6.22% so far this year but down 4.4% this month.

I'm sure @houtman thought it was in the bag but then, it's teased quite a few on the way down. Is there still a chance for @Smurf1976 or even @divs4ever, .

Well at the moment it's in @frugal.rock territory for the weekend, enjoy the ham and pickles mate.

I'm sure @houtman thought it was in the bag

It was!

Maybe next year.

 

[farmerge]

It was!

Maybe next year.

I think that apart from this year's winner we will all be thinking perhaps next year will be the one.

three days to go, still big moves ... in the briar patch now, could be any of a few

2024 CY XAO Prediction Comp.
Update: End of the 4th Week in December and with only 2 days to go (probably 1.5 days). The XAO is up 8.82% so far this year but down 2.06% this month.

So was this week the Xmas rally 3 days! Is it over? Where is it heading for the last 2 days of 2024? The USA is down last night so it doesn't paint a green picture for us on Monday does it.

Will @brerwallabi win it for the second year in a row or will the missing @Logique2 scoop the prize. Haven't spotted L2 since Nov 22, hope all is OK.

Thanks @Dona Ferentes for running the 2024 Prediction Comp, it made us think about where the XAO was going for the year with all the twists and turns with a bit of fun along the way.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2025.

Looking at the US, i think FR will get it this year

US down, about 1 percent, ... but maybe some portfolio "last minute" window dressing?

Definitely Santa got distracted, and put in a poor month- probably his anti-drone electronics were a bit rusty

My money is on browobbly.
Don't see much movement happening tonight and then tomorrow also with a 2pm early close.
Should stay in his range methinks.
