The Long-Term Investor
Annual return of the S&P500 was worse than this year, index returned more than 20% in the following year
What a crazy year was 2022? Hello folks and welcome back here on Dax Trading Ideas. This past year we didn't miss a thing: war, famine, energy crisis, recessions, you name it. Stock markets closed with a negative sign as picture of the world's economic super-powers was being rewritten. In the first letter of the year we will focus on what could be, trying not to rage as Dmitry Medvedev did with his forecasting masterpiece (link here). To still exist after a global pandemic, steep descents, sensational climbs is truly heroic. We will try to do it again in 2023, hoping it will be as benevolent as the year just passed. Casting a glance at what we see around among analysts at the major business houses, new year could be one of redemption with Deutsche Bank and Fundstrat predicting a close between 4.500 and 4.750 S&P500. French are more pessimistic, with Societe Generale and BNP Paribas seeing clouds and target rates between 3.650 and 3.400. It will also be the year of Federal Reserve’ pivot, we will make (hard) recession official, and continue with chess game of war at the expense of Ukrainian people. Question will be to be able to understand how much all this will impact on markets. Let's dig in.

Che anno pazzesco è stato il 2022? Salve gente e bentornati qui su Dax Trading Ideas. Quest’anno appena trascorso non ci siamo fatti mancare niente: guerra, carestie, crisi energetica, recessioni e chi più ne ha più ne metta. I listini azionari hanno chiuso con il segno negativo, mentre il quadro delle super-potenze economiche del mondo veniva riscritto. Nella prima lettera dell’anno ci focalizzeremo su quello che potrebbe essere, cercando di non infierire come ha fatto Dmitry Medvedev con il suo capolavoro previsionale (link qui). Esistere ancora dopo una pandemia mondiale, ripide discese, salite sensazionali è davvero da eroi. Cercheremo di farlo anche nel 2023, nella speranza che sia benevolo come l’anno appena trascorso. Buttando un occhio a quello che si vede in giro tra gli analisti delle principali case d’affari, il nuovo anno potrebbe essere quello della riscossa con Deutsche Bank e Fundstrat che prevedono una chiusura tra 4,500 e 4,750 di S&P500. I francesi sono più pessimisti: Societe Generale e BNP Paribas scorgono nubi e target rate tra 3,650 e 3,400. Sarà anche l’anno dell’ormai celebre pivot della Federal Reserve, ufficializzeremo la recessione (dura) e continueremo con la partita a scacchi della guerra a discapito del popolo ucraino. Il punto sarà riuscire a capire quanto tutto questo impatterà sui mercati. Approfondiamo.

After a bad year
The question everyone will ask is: what happens next? No one can have arrogance to be able to seriously answer this question. Inside this letter for traders and investors, we have often created monthly forecasts on the performance of German DAX index, structured trades (still ongoing), have a long-term view and much more. The adventure we have embarked on has all in all performed well despite fact that everyone out there is ready to hurl criticism. I just do it when I really have a contribution to make, and don't do it just to. Working with statistics in your favor is the real secret to surviving in the jungle of financial markets.
