We have seen several analysts recently raised their year-end targets for the S&P 500 and bullish policy returns on Wall Street, as they worry about President Trump’s tariff policy. So we are looking at some of the top calls on Wall Street. We have Wells Fargo forecasts that the S&P 500 will exceed 7,000. The BMO capital market is 6,700, and Goldman Sachs is now 6,600. This is one of our recent goals and goals improvements. So you can see how things have changed over the past few months, and of course, we have a lot of unknowns in the April tariff announcement, and there are a lot of uncertainty on Wall Street. But now we are becoming more optimistic. Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin pointed out that as the catalyst moves forward, we see the Treasury produce a lower edge. He also said traders could outperform any near-term earning weaknesses. We also saw the recent upgrade from Bank of America. They are now 6,300. This was proposed by 5,600 people in the past. Now, Bank of America analyst Savita Subramanian, she is more bearish in the outlook. I mean 6,300, which is very similar to our current deal. She believes that income, especially in the technology sector, may deteriorate over time. But, she does say you can't count American companies. She said many of these large companies have been able to isolate the various tariffs here. And if we start looking at the S&P 500 from the beginning of this year, you'll see these April tariff hits, which is when stocks are immersed in very aggressively, but there's a steady climb here. So far, we've now added about 7% of the time, about 6,300 points.
