Nearly every day, you hear about one or more of the major stock indexes closing at a “new record high.” This has happened despite ongoing concerns about consumer confidence and an election that is once again being billed as “the most important election ever.”
Yet month after month, the consumer continues to spend, and the market continues to move higher.
That outcome looks more likely. And there are three key reasons for that.
First, as earnings season kicks off, it looks like it will be another good season for corporate earnings. And since earnings growth is the best predictor of stock price growth, the growth we’re seeing in the market may just be starting.
Second, the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates at least once more, and maybe twice, before the end of the year.
Third, the U.S. presidential election will be over. That removes a significant amount of uncertainty that was hovering over investors. And with that uncertainty out of the way, many investors may want to make up for lost time.
That means, if you have some money on the sidelines, now may be the time to look at putting some capital to work. In this special presentation, we’re looking at seven “risk-on” stocks that are likely to outperform the market in the short term. These are stocks that may have been too risky in the past year but now may lead the charge forward.
