    We've been broken down
    To the lowest turn
    Bein' on the bottom line
    Sure ain't no fun
    But if we should be evicted
    Huh, from our homes
    We'll just move somewhere else
    And still carry on
    Oh
    (Hold on) hold on
    (Hold on) hold on
    Ooh, aah, baby
    hold on
    (Hold on) ooh ooh aah
  • I predict that the self-appointed financial gurus who regularly post on here well get everything spectacularly wrong as per usual.

    I predict that the markets will go up and down in an unpredictable fashion....😉😄

    I predict a lot of bearish commentating, whilst markets make large increases by the autumn. Once those bears are silenced and everything is rosy, calmer and more stable, we will see a medium correction leaving 2021 only slightly up.
  • I predict we will see 365 days in 2021.
  • Bull markets are like the cartoon character that runs off a cliff, but carries on as if nothing has happened until they look down and see that there is nothing below, at which point they plummet. 

    Essentially the market keeps on climbing until prices are ridiculous and unsustainable (dot com boom) or something cuts off the supply of funds (GFC). Shares are currently overpriced, with some such as Tesla at daft values. In 2019 I was predicting that a crash was overdue, and I thought covid was the trigger, now I’m not so sure. It is possible prices could nudge up further until a major event occurs to upset the economy. Many are predicting a conflict between China and the US, but I assume that’s 5-10 years hence. I’ll go for a 5-10% gain this year for western markets with a wobble once furloughing ends. 

    We still don’t know how governments will raise money to pay for this crisis, and that might have an impact. Few saw the oil crisis coming, the dot com boom, the 2008 crash and covid 19 ...

    Not going to attempt to predict individual share prices. As for markets.

    S&P 500 down at least 10%. 
    FTSE All Share up at least 5%
    Nikkei up at least 5%
    Stoxx 600 up at least 10%

    Jack Ma will remain out of sight for the whole of 2021. 

    Inflation (CPI) will spike at over 2% during the year.

    Already your prediction is wrong...
