Unfortunately for our experts, the fact that their predictions may be expressed with admirable conviction does not always make them correct.

I believe the time has arrived for our persuasive forecasters to be held to account for some of their more wayward pronouncements – and, with your help, this website provides the opportunity to do just that.

And, to make things interesting, contributors will be entered into a quarterly competition and given the chance to win fine champagne or wine.

U.K. Equities to Rise as Much as 20-25%

“We can expect U. K. Equities to rise as much as 20-25% in 2011.  It is a paradox that the worst recession of a generation has made the U.K. one of the most attractive areas for investors today.  The market continues to discount a highly uncertain outlook, though as companies realise that we are not heading for a double-dip, capital expenditure will rise”.

Editor's Notes

In the event, the FTSE 100 started this year at 5899.94 and, as I write on 15 December 2011, it stands at 5428.  We are all looking forward to the 1650 point end of year rally over the next few days so as to avoid any embarrassment at Schroders, and no doubt Mervyn King will now be able to enjoy his Christmas pudding with the knowledge that his worst fears about a “double dip” have been unfounded.
