2013 Financial Predictions Update
– myownadvisor.ca
Earlier this year I wrote about 10 things I thought we would see in 2013. As we approach the halfway mark this year, I thought I’d reflect on how close my calls were.
1. The S&P/TSX Composite Index will finish the year at 13,100.
As of June 16, 2013 the S&P/TSX sits at 12,187.
2. The Dow Jones will finish the year at 13,900.
So far the Dow has blown this mark out of the water, now at 15,070.
3. With renewed focus on Asia markets, RIM is the comeback business story of the year and makes the cover of Canadian Business Magazine at some point to prove it.
RIM has had a nice comeback in 2013 but I have yet to see them on the cover of CB magazine unless I forgot about that.
4. Crude Oil will finish the year at around $98 per barrel.
At the time of this post light crude oil is hovering right around that mark.
5. The Canadian Dollar will finish the year at $0.97 against the U.S. Dollar.
Recently, our dollar closed just a bit higher.
6. Speaking of cents, nobody misses the Canadian penny…
