Yearly XAO Prediction Thread

Jump to new
The biggest risk for us retired older people is return of capital, not return on capital. I just reckon that as the share markets being at all time highs it's just going to have to crash at some stage. Probably still going run for a while but we can't risk a massive fall. Even though my prediction is a bit on the high side I am definitely not all in. I can't afford to lose half my money in a stock market crash, so for me return of capital is more important than return on capital. However, if/when that crash comes I'll be straight back in there. Eating a bit of my capital is currently a better option than risking a market crash. If I was working and younger I might be thinking differently. I like your comments, thanks.
 
I totally agree with your statement and yes no one wants to risk there hard working capital , l trade daily with 10% of my portfolio on small caps and about 50% of my capital in long term stock, most of my stock selections are with high dividend yields like TWE, AGL, ORG, WBC, BOQ, TLS, RRL,FMG, so if the market does decline im still getting a return , (unless it becomes Covid #2) , I guess no one can predict the future , tho we can all have fun speculating ?
Btw Enjoyed reading everyone's post on this thread, gives me a perspective on people's outlook to the next 12mths

8450, it’s taken years to get back to where we are now, I believe we will be in a bull market that will last some years.
 

Hear you loud and clear Bill
But agree with Dark1975 although I think I’ll be upping the %
having said that longer term portfolios in the short term if
managed well should return exceptional figures.
There are some I know ( not mine) returning +50%
These days liquidation can be a click away 20 seconds
( Sell all positions) there is a panic button.
 
I'm thinking We will finish the year largely flat, just under 7,000.
Maybe housing can be propped up some more and we can see some negative rates?
People I know are tightening belts, even as we get back to normal I don't think consumer spending will return; fear of the unknown is still lurking.

Think there a going to be consistent head winds all year.
 
Thought I'd update this thread.

So thus far,
@PZ99 closest to the mark, followed by @rcm617 with @shaka on third.

Here's a chart. Noticed a higher average volume from around 11th August.
That date seems to likely match up with around the time the government started handing out money in brazen, wanton and largesse fashion to the large majority, again, to stay at home...


Solid bull run really, and not seeing to many things raising major red flags...yet.
There's a few concerns, such as Fed tapering talks and Delta surging, but nothing that doesn't already seem priced in.
We'll see what happens when 8 ? million or so overfed and underworked people can go back to work...
 
** We'll see what happens when 8 ? million or so overfed and underworked people can go back to work... **

probably half will die from heart disease or industrial accidents

that is if they ever work again

i am a member of a US F.I.R.E. forum , where a large number of well-paid members HATE their MEGAcorp jobs , and plot to retire early ( but not be broke while they enjoy their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, etc,etc )

so i always wondered if those in well-paid positions , were so willing to escape their toxic work-places , what about the blue-collar folks , maybe that is why they are so desperately enticing Hispanics into the US , so SOME work might get done .
