Mapping out 2025

๐— ๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ in a nutshell:

๐Ÿ’ก I remain bullish on ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ for 2025, although I think it will be a challenge to repeat the robust performance of 2023 and 2024, unless we go into bubble mode (which, by definition, would end badly).

๐Ÿ’ก ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ will have to carry the day in 2025, and I think they will. But this cyclical bull market is now in its third year, and the secular bull market is in its 15th, so we are in later innings.

๐Ÿ’ก I think the Fed may well be done cutting ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€ after its expected cut next week, or at least will be much closer to the end of rate cuts than the beginning, and I expect long yields to occasionally probe a 5-handle in 2025, interrupting the stock marketโ€™s momentum (much like it did in the 1980โ€™s).
