SPX projections upped.
More like 4% away since the high for 2025 was 44,882 on Jan 30th.We’re 1% away. Will be shocked if we don’t.
That must be the Dow. I thought that died?More like 4% away since the high for 2025 was 44,882 on Jan 30th.
Everyone has their own thoughts on what's the best metric. Maybe average them all together for a +/- movement tracking.That must be the Dow. I thought that died?
OP said SPX. ATH @ close 6144 in February some time. Closed today at 6092.
Well, thats true, but every company in the Dow is in the S&P. Ditto for Nasdaq. So averaging them would be simply double counting some and not others.Everyone has their own thoughts on what's the best metric. Maybe average them all together for a +/- movement tracking.
If computers can do it in milliseconds, then maybe they should include every stock in the US market for a complete cross section of how the entire stock market changes.The Dow was "invented" at a time when tracking stocks was a time consuming and manual process so they picked supposedly representative companies. Now a computer does it in a millisecond. To each there own.
If were honest with ourselves 7 companies dictate what the market does.
It wouldn't matter if some are in the same measured metrics. Averaging all the different metrics into one summary is going to normalize it and give a better indication of the overall +/- picture.Well, thats true, but every company in the Dow is in the S&P.

Thats called the Wilshire 5000, and the S&P 500 represents 80% of it. But sure - you could use that I suppose, but no one does so it would be a lonely discussion.If computers can do it in milliseconds, then maybe they should include every stock in the US market for a complete cross section of how the entire stock market changes.
Of course it would. There all weighted indexes. APPL would get counted 3 times - S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow. XOM would only get counted once. So relative to their weight apple would give 3X the signal to your average. You would be better off with the Wilshire 5000, but it more or less tracks the S&P with a lag anyway. Which is why everyone uses the S&P I presume - its just the laziest way.It wouldn't matter if some are in the same measured metrics.

SPX is the broadest metric. It encompasses most of all.Everyone has their own thoughts on what's the best metric. Maybe average them all together for a +/- movement tracking.
OK here are some of the cash equivalents used in various accountsI have MM of various stripes plus a number of funds that are pretty close to cash that have been very good to me. I will post tickers when I get to my PC
Yahoo is less believable than carbon fiber sub clown.
I don't believe Yahoo at all. I am looking at the projections from the Investment banks inside the article. Deutsche, Goldman Sachs, BMO, CITI, J.P. Morgan, etc. Look at the graph contained inside the article.Yahoo is less believable than carbon fiber sub clown.
Fair enough. I believe you. Not clicking on Yahoo. They are liars and cheats and smear spreaders.I don't believe Yahoo at all. I am look at the projections from the Investment banks inside the article. Deutsche, Goldman Sachs, BMO, CITI, J.P. Morgan, etc. Look at the graph.
There are a whole ton of analysts predicting strong gains going forward. I drive a lot and listen to probably 50 podcasts a month. They fall into one of two categories but get to the same place.I don't believe Yahoo at all. I am looking at the projections from the Investment banks inside the article.

Are you for rate cuts Dave?J Powell leaves in May 2026 and he is trying to salvage his legacy.
Maybe everything stays propped up until his replacement arrives and the new guy does massive rate cuts ?
