This Friday is the last Stock discussion meeting of 2024

Happy Holidays everyone.. This Friday, December 20th is our last stock discussion meeting for 2024. Since we are not having an ETF/Mutual fund meeting later in the month, this is our last meeting of any kind in 2024.  

2024 was a great year in the market, what will 2025 bring us? Stock market indexes are at all time highs. some stocks make the 1990's look tame, while others seem very inexpensive. we have a new President and a new economic (and social) direction. what will this mean for investors? 

I personally believe that the first 6 months of 2025 will be full of sound and fury, and I hope it all will signify something.  Bring your freshly polished crystal balls and lets look into them, maybe the view will be cloudy, maybe it will be clear.  Come join us, be prepared to opine on the near future, all opinions welcome. 

Friday December 20th, 2:00 pm Liberty Center.

 

PS in 2025 there will be some changes to the discussion groups, I will send a clarifying email on those changes
