Let's dive into the bullish case for stocks in 2025, breaking down key market trends, investor sentiment, and economic indicators that point to continued growth. While last week’s discussion highlighted economic slowdowns, this week, we focus on why slowing doesn’t mean shrinking and why the market remains strong. We analyze historical market patterns, earnings trends, and currency movements to show how a weakening dollar could provide a tailwind for international stocks. Plus, we explore why investor sentiment and bond volatility signal more upside for equities. Stay tuned as we break it all down and explain why, despite the noise, the bull market is still charging forward.

What most financial media outlets either don’t know or won’t tell you: The American economy is slowing rapidly after the holiday-driven consumer boom, and I dive into the real data—beyond the short-term government reports—to explain why. We’ll look at how job growth has been overstated, where the real hiring has been happening, and why government employment trends matter for investors. I also discuss how policy shifts from the new administration—such as government layoffs, tariffs, and immigration changes—are creating short-term economic uncertainty that markets don’t like. Plus, I’ll show you the real-time financial data I’m watching and explain what it means for stocks, bonds, and economic growth in 2025. If you want an investor’s perspective on what’s really happening and what to watch next, this video is for you.

Are you wondering how the new tariffs may affect the stock market? Today I share the key insights from Oak Harvest’s 1st Half 2025 Market Outlook Summit. We cover a wide range of topics, including stock, bond, and currency market trends, current economic events, and the potential impact of new tariff policies announced by the Trump administration on market volatility. I break down how these sudden policy shifts affected the S&P 500 and volatility index, and discuss the broader implications for investors in 2025. You'll also hear my thoughts on economic growth trends, real interest rates, and the Fed's outlook, plus what it all means for your portfolio in an increasingly unpredictable market environment.

Investors, in this video, I’ll break down why 2025 has started with a dip in equity markets and why it’s not yet cause for alarm. We’ll explore historical parallels, including the last successful “soft landing” under Greenspan in the mid-90s, and discuss key drivers behind the recent market pullback, such as tax-related stock sales, corporate buyback blackouts, and rising interest rates. I’ll also touch on macroeconomic factors like the stronger dollar, slowing multinational earnings, and challenges in China’s economy. By the end of this video, you’ll have a better understanding of why these trends don’t necessarily signal the end of the bull market.
Plus, don’t forget to join us for our First Half 2025 Market Outlook livestream on January 23rd at 6:30 PM CT on YouTube—submit your questions ahead of time here: https://click2retire.com/1H2025-mos-st

Are the Doomsday predictions you keep hearing worth paying attention to? The financial world has this persistent cycle of fearmongering and I'm sure you've heard of many of the personalities that profit from it, like Harry Dent, Robert Kiyosaki, and Nassim Taleb. By revisiting past forecasts and outcomes, I highlight the glaring inaccuracies of these so-called "experts" and their sensationalized, doomsday market predictions. You’ll walk away understanding how fear is monetized in the financial industry, why these figures dominate media despite their track records, and how to critically evaluate the advice you consume. Plus, I’ll share insights into what we see for the markets in 2025—spoiler: it's not the crash of a lifetime.

It's time to kick off the new year with the first "Stock Talk" of 2025, sharing insights from the Oak Harvest Investment Team’s outlook for the financial markets in the first half of the year. We revisit key themes from 2024, including the U.S. economy’s soft landing and the resilience of the bull market, while exploring why we believe 2025 could follow a similar trajectory despite expected volatility. You'll hear about the "Good" scenario, our most likely path for the year, and how it compares to historical market conditions like the 1995-1997 soft landing under Alan Greenspan. I also touch on critical factors driving market performance, from earnings growth and interest rates to global influences like China's economy and U.S. fiscal policies. If you're navigating retirement planning or just looking to make informed investment decisions, this video is packed with valuable context and actionable insights.
Join us for our full 1st Half 2025 Market Outlook Summit virtually on January 23rd at 6:30pm CT: https://click2retire.com/1H2025-mos-st

Three roads diverged in a yellow wood…oh wait, that’s not the poem. The Oak Harvest investment team gets often asked about scenario analysis and other potential outcomes for the stock, bond and financial markets. This makes sense as no one's crystal ball is perfect each in every year. Given its year end 2024, we already alluded to our best guess for now to where markets end 2025, 6660 currently, as well as the optimistic repeat of Trump 2.0, S&P 500 equals 7000, and everyone else’s 2025 outlooks have been posted, I figured I would leave our followers with 3 scenarios for 2025 along with historical precedents that one could follow along with if you want. Let’s call them, the Great, The Good, and The Ugly!

Drawing on historical patterns and economic indicators, I outline why I believe the S&P 500's trajectory could continue toward 7000 by late 2025, emphasizing the factors that could drive such growth. I'll discuss the significance of valuation tools, the bond market's role, and how historical precedent during past administrations might shape market behavior. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, you'll gain insights into market dynamics, strategies for navigating volatility, and perspectives on the long-term potential of this bullish trend. Join me as I share my outlook for 2025 and what it could mean for your portfolio.
