January 2024 Newsletter

Happy New Year! We hope your 2024 is off to a great start. We are excited to share another year with you.

We anticipate market strength to continue in 2024, albeit at a much slower and more volatile pace than in 2023. There have been recent confirmations of breadth strengthening and a much broader market rally to support the ability of most indices to break out to new highs in 2024. There will be 4 keys to ’24 to keep an eye on: The Fed, The Labor Market, Corporate Profits, and Valuations. We caught on that as the Fed pivots from pause to cut, there has inevitably been a sell-off after the Fed starts cutting rates. While we are moderately bullish, we are wary of the economic wheels falling off causing slowing profits ergo slowing the market. While the stock market is not the economy, companies are not immune to if and when their consumers start to suffer and slow.

Goal Setting:

January is a great time to review your goals for the year ahead. Creating clear goals is an effective way to provide a sense of direction and purpose to achieve financial success. Establishing financial goals can also motivate and inspire you, as it provides measurable steps for growing your wealth.
