What counted as right

The S&P 500 posts a negative total return for calendar-year 2023 (or spends the majority of the year in a bear market with no durable recovery).

Both prongs of the criterion fail: 2023 total return was decidedly positive (not negative), and the index was in a durable recovery/new bull phase (it crossed into a bull market in mid-2023 and neared record highs by year-end), not a majority-year bear market. Prediction did not come to pass; outcome value assigned later.

Evidence of what happened

  • S&P 500 posted a strongly POSITIVE 2023: total return ~+26.3% and price return ~+24.2% for the calendar year — the opposite of a bad/bear year.

    Evidence

  • Corroborating fund proxy: State Street S&P 500 index fund returned ~26.15% total return in 2023.

    Evidence

Corrections

  • horizon type: Verbatim says 'next year' (relative phrase resolved via the deadline table), not an explicitly stated date.
  • Prediction timeframe: Cite the actual triggering phrase and the table rule applied; the pundit did not say '2023' in the verbatim.
