Episode 93: A Look Ahead | Our Predictions for 2024

Barenaked Money

In this captivating episode of the Barenaked Money Podcast, hosts Josh Sheluk and Colin White take listeners on a speculative journey into the financial year ahead. They approach the episode with a blend of scepticism and wit, reminding us that predicting the future is more art than science, and their insights are meant to stir curiosity rather than serve as concrete financial advice.

Their discussions weave through an array of bold yet tongue-in-cheek predictions: a fleeting moment of Canadian inflation dropping under 2%, bonds unexpectedly trumping their past performance, and a surprising turn for the stock market's 'magnificent seven', potentially underperforming against the general market. They don't stop at finance, venturing into predictions of AI advancements and healthcare becoming a hot topic.

Adding a twist, Colin humorously forecasts the launch of a novel investment product, likely mistimed, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of market trends. Both hosts playfully concede that accurately foreseeing the future is a near-impossible feat, setting expectations for a year filled with unforeseen developments and surprises. Tune in for an episode that expertly balances financial insights with a healthy dose of realism and humour.
