This growth will continue as long as the Technology Sector leads the way, and all signs are showing it will.

Part of the reason I think the markets will be higher, is due to 2024 being a Presidential Election year, which historically shows positive returns for the markets.

The sitting President will do everything they can to not allow a recession to form in 2024 ahead of his re-Election.

How can they do that you ask, one way could be to put a little pressure on the Federal Reserve to Add Liquidity to the markets, Aggressively cut Federal Funds Rate, which will keep investors excited for the future, and markets in rally mode.

In 2024, the volatility will come from Mediocre Economic Data causing markets to rise with anticipation Fed Funds Rate will be cut, followed by Mediocre Earnings Announcements with Lowered Forward Guidance by companies, causing the markets to decline.

Lowered Future Expectations by companies will worry investors that current stock prices can't justify Lowered Future Expectations, causing a market sell-off.

So, WHAT DO I DO YOU ASK, keep investing in Pre-Tax accounts, especially if you are in a 30%-40% Tax Bracket, like 401Ks, Solo 401Ks, SEP & Simple IRAs, sit in Cash / Money Market Funds & collect your 4.75%+ yield, and Very Slowly Buy Stocks Fitting Within Your Risk Profile on market declines.

Negative Markets create Opportunity, although at the time, it seems very uncomfortable to Buy!
