PREDICTIONS

  • His S&P's 500 bear market prediction earned him top honors in Institutional Investor's annual survey in 2022.

  • However, his prediction for 2023, which anticipated the S&P 500 to close the year at 3,900, fell short as the index approached record highs, driven by a rally in mega cap tech stocks and closing near 4,800 on December 29.
