Re: 2018 Predictions Contest
The hardest part with coming up with guesses/predictions? I have almost a zero change of guessing the current values of any of these measures, so how am I supposed to predict their future values? My investment philosophy and strategy has always been bottom up, looking for great companies with great management.
My wild guesses are:
S&P500: 2888
TSX: 17205
GOLD: $1389
OIL: $66.81
CAD: $0.7917
I'm hoping for an average finish
Updated my guesses due to new participants.
That's crazy but well played in 2018
