2015 Forecast Recap

Expected usual 50% move from the midterm low to the pre-election year high to be below
average in the 20-30% range as Fed rates hikes loom large.
Toward the later part of 2015 the economy is prone to slowing as Republicans and
Democrats begin the next battle for the White House.
Expected a high most likely in the first half of 2015 around Dow 19000, S&P 2250 and
NASDAQ 5000, slightly higher or lower than NASDAQs all-time high.
Then a move sideways to slightly higher throughout the last half of 2015 with an ultimate
high near yearend 2015.
__________________________________________________________________________________

Made new highs on all the major averages, clearing 5000 on NASDAQ
But DJIA and S&P 500 came up a bit short of our forecast at 18312 and 2131 respectively.
Dow was up 19% from its 2014 midterm year low to its 2015 high S&P 22%.
The economy is arguably slowing and the battle for the White House raging.
So all in all, not perfect, but not too shabby.

If the market does not rally,
as it should during bullish seasonal periods,
it is a sign that other forces are stronger
and that when the seasonal period ends
those forces will really have their say.

2016 Forecast Less Than Sanguine

2016 STA June 2, 2015, Page 6 Outlook


Election years average DJIA 4.8%,
8th years, average -13.9%, down 5 of the last 6.
So we see two scenarios for 2016:
If Fed is right and energy and commodities decline transitory & prices stabilize, expect average
election year gains in mid-single digits.
If Fed is wrong and oil and commodities suffer further &junk bond scenario unravels we may begin
a mild bear market.
Reassess end January
Next bear market may begin in 2016 or already be underway and could take the
market 20-30% lower into 2017-2018 in the last cyclical, garden-variety bear
market that finally puts an end to this secular bear that began in early 2000.
We do not expect much upside over the next few years in the market.
After next bear market our Super Boom forecast kicks in. Raised the floor on our
initial forecast, but the 500+% move to Dow 38820 by 2025 is still on target.
