Stock Market Predictions For Remainder of 2023?

Going to keep maxing my 401k, Roth, and HSA. Same is it ever was. Not a soul on here "knows what it going to happen".

It will go down and then up and then down again and then finally up an then down.

The order of which I'm not so sure.

But really it's going to goblin town.

The real question is how intense and for how long. We're in the beginning stages of stagflation already ( LINK), but the market is resisting that idea and the Fed still naively believes it can pull off a "soft landing" (hint: that's not happening).

Instead of learning from Volcker's lesson in combating sticky inflation (quickly raising rates well above CPI then lowering them as CPI lowers), the Fed's rate hesitancy will allow the market to keep refloating itself on hopeium after dropping whenever JP, JY, etc speaks and/or they raise rates (this may change when/if talking heads actually begin using "stagflation" consistently).

This means a longer period before we get into a true recovery.

Agree with others sideways . Great days followed by bad days and it will end with us being a little lower by end of year.

I’m playing it with a lot in fixed income, followed by equities commodity related companies, some commodity etfs and tech/biotech. I think the upside is limited to the 4300ish range +/- and therefore rallies should be for selling and raising cash.
