😀A Year for Gratitude – With More on the Way Next Year

Good morning, and Merry Christmas! Investors have a lot to be grateful for this holiday season...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning, and Merry Christmas! Investors have a lot to be grateful for this holiday season. 2023 started with stocks coming off a poor December trading season last year… but markets moved higher for most of the year. The fall selloff gave markets a 10 percent pullback, followed by one of the strongest snapback rallies in history. Meanwhile, inflation has slowed significantly this year, while the economy has continued to grow. Despite a poor track record at creating such "soft landings," the Federal Reserve is starting to boast of having pulled one off. Next year should see a bit more of the same, with a further drop in inflation, and further market gains. Of course, healthy markets have pullbacks and drops along the way, so 2024 should offer investors and traders alike plenty of opportunities. Now here's the rest of the news: Sponsored Content All Time High Markets: What's Next? All Time High Markets: What's Next?
