2016 Stock Predictions – Final Results
2016 has turned out to be an extraordinary year by any standards, be it the Brexit vote in the UK, the election of Donald Trump as the president-elect, or the Demonetization in India. All these events are quite unprecedented.
Let's analyze how the stocks performed against this backdrop.
In December 2015, CNBC TV 18 published a list of 16 stocks to invest in 2016 - forecasts of 4 market experts. Overall, the forecasts have done marvelously well. Had you bought 1 share of each company, you would have made 23% in the year - not bad by any standard! Even after brokerage and taxes, an annual gain of about 20% is just amazing, that too in a year when the indices have been more or less flat.
