the Russell 3000 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 Russell 3000
Stock Index . The data used in the forecasting model is updated monthly and

Russell 3000. The latest ranking of the Russell 3000 Index is 6.

Part 3
ROLLING RETURNS, 1987 - 2019: Russell 3000 Index
Rolling Period Last / Percentile Best / Average / Worst
1 Year 2% / 23rd 53% / 9% / -45%
2 Year 15% / 35th 86% / 20% / -48%
4 Year 30% / 35th 151% / 42% / -38%
8 Year 104% / 60th 264% / 93% / -39%
16 Year 204% / 63rd 373% / 179% / 43%
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 Russell 3000 Index returned
15%. That period scored in the 35th percentile, meaning that it scored better
than 35% of all rolling 2 year periods since 1987. The Best rolling 2 Year period
since 1987 returned 86%. The worst returned -48%. The average rolling 2 year
period returned 20%.
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 Russell 3000 Index are as
follows:
1 Year: 369
2 Year: 357
4 Year: 333
8 Year: 285
16 Year: 189
Dividends are not included.
