What We Learned From the 2024 Stock MarketIf you're procrastinating on investing goals and resolutions for 2025, allow our Top Stock Picks of 2024 to lend a hand. Schaeffer's 12 picks for the last year - seven of which are heading for year-to-date gains of 20% or more -- encompassed a wide range; retail, semiconductor, biotech, value, growth, cyclical, and more are represented. Because of that breadth, we can draw some broad market conclusions that offer some important trading lessons to take into 2025. Chip Stock Moves Higher on New Bullish Analyst CoverageSemiconductor stocks were a big focus in 2024, and despite recent struggles have maintained popularity with options traders and analysts alike. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock just secured new coverage from Rosenblatt Securities, which set it on track for its biggest single-day percentage gain since Oct. 4. While the shares still carry a 14.8% year-to-date deficit, options bulls keep buying AMD, placing it on Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of stocks that attracted the most options volume in the past two weeks.
