► Episode Notes:

Why will Steve W be buying Wispa bars in 2024? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!

It's the end of 2023, which means it's time to review our predictions for the year and make some new ones for 2024. How did we do and what will happen?

All of us thought house prices were going to come down. We were wrong about how much, though, so what happened to stop the freefall?

Paul did annoyingly well with his predictions. Thankfully, he isn't here to tell us about this, so Steve W reviews the surge in big tech and Disney's dividend from the year gone by…

Steve D did less well by backing against Tesla, but had more joy calling positively against a recession. He wouldn't do that again, though… would be?

The lack of a recession hit Steve W’s predictions and Coinbase went the opposite way to where he forecasted it. Surely he wouldn't go for that again, though?

In 2024 predictions, we're bullish on low-cost businesses and doubtful on expensive consumer discretionaries. And we've got our resolutions for the New Year to go through.

Thanks to everyone that's been with us over the last 12 months. Here's wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
