The number of bears is growing

[Silver Ridge Market Report Logo] [Privacy Policy]( | [Advertiser Disclosure]( Senior Analyst Morning Brew Stocks kicked off the new year on a positive note, with the S&P 500 climbing 1.4% last week. The index is now up 8.9% from its October 12 closing low of 3,577.03 and down 18.8% from its January 3, 2022 closing high of 4,796.56. Meanwhile, the market’s many bears got more company. Michael Kantrowitz, the chief investment strategist at Piper Sandler, expects the S&P 500 to tumble to 3,225 by year end, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. This call makes him the most bearish of Wall Street’s top stock market forecasters. Byron Wien, the legendary former chief investment strategist at Morgan Stanley and current vice chairman at Blackstone, warned on Wednesday that financial markets could slide during the first half of the year before rallying again. “Despite Fed tightening, the market reaches a bottom by mid-year and begins a recovery comparable to 2009,“ Wien wrote. Will the bears be proven right this year? Maybe. But the fact that so much of Wall Street is bearish may actually produce the opposite result. Will the consensus be right this time with their bearishness? We’ll only know in hindsight. We do however know that the stock market goes up in most years. And longer term investors should remember the odds of generating a positive return improves for those who can put in the time.
