    Default 2020 Predictions

    Just read this on the Herald, and would be interested to get your opinions on what could happen in 2020 in terms of the market and wider economy. Things change so fast in a year and based on what happened in 2019, there's definitely things that could happen that catches everyone off guard.

    In 2019, The trade deal surprised me, the lack of effect on the market of the trump impeachment. The local markets getting incredibly over valued as people chased yields due to the 50 basis point cut.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12292126

    Here's mine for 2020:

    - I see the markets chugging along to ATHs again, breaking the 13000 barrier on the local market with a lot of talk about a impending recession from naysayers. The thing that could change everything is if the reserve bank tries to increase rates which could be a thing later in the year.

    - House prices keep hitting new records, kiwibuild continues to fail and the govt continues to struggle reigning things in. The commercial property stocks (GMT, PCT, KPG etc) continue growing and the retirement stocks continue to post record profits.

    - Jacinda wins the election narrowly, despite Labour losing the common vote, they just about get it on seats. Their biggest asset is the fact Bridges is the leader on the opposite side. He resigns and Judith Collins takes them further right.

    - Trade deal happens but US have to concede a bit to get it done. Trump wins the election, after Biden becomes the primary. Trump brings out all skeletons in Biden's closet and verbally destroys him on the campaign trial. Expect the US market to be more volatile in 2020 with the election swinging.

    - Brexit continues to be in limbo for the UK and the country is more volatile during the year.

    I expect stock market will continue to rise as Trump won't let it down because he needs to be re-elected.

    Some fundamentals support stock rising: Solid US economy, strong corporate profit, good consumer sentiment, etc.

    Agree with most of this .....US Election the event to watch. Retirement stocks in NZ a no brainer winner. Wish we had more to pick from in that sector. New entrants would be welcomed.

    Dow to climb to over 33,000 next year. (Forward PE of their market is very reasonable at around 17.5 times) their consumer confidence is much stronger and as trade tensions ease global mega stocks should do very well. NASDAQ to also rise 20%+
    ASX also likely to have a big 20%+ year in 2020 as their market is also quite inexpensive for where interest rates are and will be a major beneficiary of easing trade tensions.
    NZX will struggle to gain 10% in 2020 as its already very expensive on an average forward PE of 29 and will be affected by gradually rising long term interest rates.
    Utilities and REIT's to have a poor year due to gradually rising interest rates.
    Bonds a very bad place to be as interest rates have already bottomed and will rise later in 2020.
    Trump to get into power again, likewise Jacinda.
    Retirement sector to have a big year in 2020, MET to disappear from the NZX early in 2020 as its taken over or merged.

    BLT making a bit of a move today at 5.1 and already up over 200% from a 52 week low of 1.6. I hope the Sarge's "star performer" prediction for 2020 comes true - another 200%+ gain or more for next year will be a fantastic outcome.

    Probably right and about par for the course for the NZX. Just as a business is turning around and has years of steady growth in front of it. Someone could offer 30% more and long suffering shareholders will jump at it. Any guess who might be interested?

    Alternatively, I predict Tower pays a 1 cent dividend and attracts more interest.

    A little bit spooky, you might know something overs don't right now. Perhaps a national MP in China?
