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 5%
that the Dow Industrial Index will be down at least 20% in 10 years (May, 2029
close compared to May, 2019 close).

Over 110 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 Dow Industrial Average 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 Dow
Jones Industrial Average . The data used in the forecasting model is updated
monthly and may change the forecast, particularly after substantial movements
in the Dow Industrial Average. The latest ranking of the DJIA is 4.

Part 3
ROLLING RETURNS, 1900 - 2019: Dow Industrial Index
Rolling Period Last / Percentile Best / Average / Worst
1 Year 3% / 40th 129% / 7% / -72%
2 Year 20% / 59th 124% / 15% / -84%
4 Year 40% / 61st 268% / 31% / -84%
8 Year 100% / 71st 467% / 66% / -65%
16 Year 184% / 62nd 1003% / 175% / -54%
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, (6/2017 - 5/2019), the Dow Industrial Index returned
20%. That period scored in the 59th percentile, meaning that it scored better
than 59% of all rolling 2 year periods since 1900. The Best rolling 2 Year period
since 1900 returned 124%. The worst returned -84%. The average rolling 2
year period returned 15%.
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
