Hopefully Spookily Accurate 🙂 Predictions for 2026

Each year, I try to predict what I believe will happen in all markets for the coming year. Usually, I am pretty accurate, although in 2025 some of my guesstimates were well wrong! However, I still had my best ever investing results (excluding the insane crypto gains we made in 2020/2021, so it wasn’t all bad news.

The S&P made 18% last yearMy personal results, shared with members of my investing group: All after the December pullbacks: stocks +138%, Gold +65%, Silver + 153%, Crypto (long term holdings)  -11%

In January 2025, I predicted that the $ would go up for a while at least. It dropped a few days later and never looked back! Though in my defence, I did say at the time “I am, for the foreseeable future, focusing on $USA strength. As ever things will change during the year. It could be next week, next month or next season, but there will be pullbacks and possibly a reversal.

I was very wrong about the GBP & UK stock market. However I was spectacularly right with gold, silver and especially the miners (the best made over 300% in 2025 and on average well over 100%)
