10 YEAR FORECAST

Stock Index. The Ten Year Forecast estimates the probability that the TSX
equity index will achieve certain gain or loss benchmarks at a point in time ten
years in the future. For example, look at the top line of the table immediately
below this paragraph. Forecast-Chart.com is forecasting a probability of 3%
that the TSX Composite Index will be down at least 20% in 10 years (April, 2023
close compared to April, 2013 close).
PROBABILITY
Down at least 20% 3%

Up at least 100% 55%

Over 100 YEARS of historical data was used to calculate the probabilities in the
table above. Dividends are not included. So you must add expected dividends
to the forecasted gain to estimate the total return for the equities represented
by this index. Each month, new data is entered into the forecasting model and
the S&P TSX Index is assigned a rank from 1 to 10. The best rank is 10 and the
worst is 1. That ranking determines the Ten Year Forecast for the TSX
Composite Stock Index . The data used in the forecasting model is updated
monthly and may change the forecast, particularly after substantial movements
in the S&P TSX Index. The latest ranking of the TSX is 6. Forecast-Chart.com
publishes a 10 Year Forecast for 12 of the 23 stock market indexes covered at
Forecast-Chart.com. The indexes with the highest probability of gaining over
200% in the next 10 years are the S&P TSX Index and the NASDAQ 100. The
indexes with the lowest probability of gaining over 200% in the next 10 years
are the S&P SmallCap 600 and the S&P MidCap 400. To see these forecasts,

Part 3
ROLLING RETURNS, 1999 - 2013: TSX Composite Index
Rolling Period Last / Percentile Best / Average / Worst
1 Year 1% / 39th 43% / 4% / -40%
2 Year -11% / 29th 74% / 10% / -41%
4 Year 34% / 62nd 113% / 26% / -24%
8 Year 29% / 17th 123% / 52% / -4%
How do you read the table?
For example: Rolling 2 year period returns are shown on the second row. In the
latest rolling 2 year period, (5/2011 - 4/2013), the TSX Composite Index
returned -11%. That period scored in the 29th percentile, meaning that it
scored better than 29% of all rolling 2 year periods since 1999. The Best rolling
2 Year period since 1999 returned 74%. The worst returned -41%. The
average rolling 2 year period returned 10%.
What is a rolling period?
It's an overlapping period in a data base. For example: In the 2 year period
included in 2000 - 2001, there are 13 complete rolling 12 Month Periods. The
first is January, 2000 - December, 2000. The second is February, 2000 -
January, 2001. The third is March, 2000 - February, 2001 and so on. The last
complete rolling 12 Month Period in the 2000 - 2001 period is January, 2001 -
December, 2001.
How is this information useful?
Best and worst case scenarios may be estimated based on historical facts.
Also, the relationship of the periods is sometimes very helpful. Suppose that the
worst rolling 8 year period in the last 50 years returned -30%. Suppose also
that the latest 4 year period has returned -50%. Market psychology at this point
may be one of great fear or possibly even panic. If the market stays flat for 4
more years, it will break the 8 year decline record by a whopping 20%! (-50%
minus -30% equals -20%.) 50 plus year records are not often broken. That
provides reason to hope that the market will recover that 20% over the next 4
years. If it does, then the 8 year loss will be 30%. The longest index histories
are found in the DJIA, FTSE 100 with FT 30, DJTA, DJUA, S&P 500, & NASDAQ
100
The number of periods in each category for the TSX Composite Index are as
follows:
1 Year: 149
2 Year: 137
4 Year: 113
8 Year: 65
16 Year: 0
Dividends are not included.
