What will 2025 bring to the stock market?

[Joe Flacco]

It's not going to be a great year. Flat at best.

I'm talking more about individual trades and sectors not the indexes as a whole. The markets good or bad always have opportunity and that's why while one is suffering another is doing well. The one I'm not real bullish on is real estate but i could be wrong there will be some regional builders doing well but National ones it's a tough market.

Will there be a black swan event that precipitates a correction?

Chas. Kindleberger said there is always a trigger. What that trigger is, isn't always obvious.

Always a trigger, mostly negative ones. Some super optimists believe there is a slim chance of a "neon swan" event or week, ie. all the tariffs fall into place favorably for us, Russia and Ukraine cease fighting and sign and genuine long term peace agreement, Russia brokering an Iran nuclear deal, combined with market "hopium" and a big run. Who knows?

My trading bots have been garbage the past month and they're usually trend indifferent. Scalping has been great as long as you don't get greedy.

I like the banks and homebuilders. I don't like NVDA and tech in general.

I took my profits on NVDA. I bought it cheap. I only did so because I needed to raise some cash. But AI is the next area of growth. Also robotics as an offshoot of AI. I just think the market is going to be a bit chaotic for the next 6 mos. to a year.

Nice. Doesn't matter if AI is the next area of growth. NVDA is going down. I wouldn't count on it making a new high in the next 6 months to a year.

Current stock prices average is about the same as six months ago, yes or no? So, saying Americans "lost" 5 trillion in stock value seems a pretty ephemeral thing.

 

[Charles West]

Crying about paper losses is dumb. I second the notion the economy will be strong by the end of the calender year.
