Part 2/6:
Lori points out a prevalent misconception in the financial community—that strategists possess crystal balls capable of predicting every market movement with complete accuracy. Instead, she likens the role of strategists to that of analysts covering individual companies, highlighting that they model various scenarios and adjust their forecasts as new information becomes available.
This year, she notes, there is elevated uncertainty among strategists, stock pickers, and economists alike. As a result, Lori advocates for a transparent discussion concerning forecast boundaries, particularly in the context of the 6600 target, which is based on thorough modeling and market analysis.
