Before the Market Opens in 2016

We'd like to share what the future looks like for the S&P 500 at this point of time....

Alternative Futures for S&P 500 in 2016 - Standard Model - Snapshot on 31 December 2015

Things to keep in mind in using this chart:

  • The future is subject to change at any time...
  • ... but is pretty locked in for the next twenty trading days.
  • If you want to figure out where stock prices are going, first figure out how far forward in time investors are looking.
  • Then figure out how long they will hold their attention on that future point of time before shifting it to another point of time in the future.
  • The market will perform better if dividends experience positive acceleration with respect to their currently expected rate of growth. And vice versa.
