500 Stock Index. The Ten Year Forecast estimates the probability that the S&P
500 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 5%

compared to May, 2019 close).
PROBABILITY
Down at least 20% 5%

Down 8%

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 S&P 500 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 Standard & Poor's
500 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 500. The latest ranking of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index is 7.
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 Hang Seng and
the S&P TSX Index. The indexes with the lowest probability of gaining over
200% in the next 10 years are the S&P SmallCap 600, S&P MidCap 400,
Russell 2000, NASDAQ 100 and the Dow Industrial Average. To see these

Part 3
ROLLING RETURNS, 1950 - 2019: S&P 500 Index
Rolling Period Last / Percentile Best / Average / Worst
1 Year 3% / 32nd 53% / 9% / -45%
2 Year 16% / 46th 87% / 18% / -48%
4 Year 32% / 46th 172% / 38% / -39%
8 Year 107% / 63rd 272% / 85% / -41%
16 Year 189% / 52nd 946% / 233% / 24%
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 S&P 500 Index returned 16%.
That period scored in the 46th percentile, meaning that it scored better than
46% of all rolling 2 year periods since 1950. The Best rolling 2 Year period
since 1950 returned 87%. The worst returned -48%. The average rolling 2 year
period returned 18%.
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 S&P 500 Index are as follows:
1 Year: 821
2 Year: 809
4 Year: 785
8 Year: 737
16 Year: 641
Dividends are not included.
