FYI: The S&P 500 closed last Friday at 8,850, up 7.92% (TR) YTD, just 150 points away from 3,000. If the benchmark finishes at 3,000 that would be an addition 5.3% return for a 2018 annual return of 13.2%. In early February the Linkster predicted a 3,020 close. I'd be interested in what other MFO Members think. Below is a list of Wall Street's analysis predictions.
