This was my outlook posted on January 3, 2025:

Overall – The Trump honeymoon period stumbled during the holidays, but I think will remain a net benefit to the U.S. stock market for at least several weeks after his “Coronation” on January 20th. I do think by Spring, a far more defensive approach is called for, but if you’re a chicken like me, there’s room in the foxhole now.

Grandich Model Portfolio (Not Investment Advice) – Own Emerging Markets Ex-USA Funds (World Funds ex-USA), as they are far more attractive valuation wise. I especially like Chinese stocks (most are calling for them to go a lot lower- not me) over U.S. for all of 2025. If to own U.S. general equities, I would own, Equity Index Annuities, and most-definitely  avoid MAG 7 and technology in general. 

Bonds – I’m sticking with T-Bills and CDs, no longer than 18 months duration.

Gold – $3,000+ when, not if, in 2025

Silver – Kissing sister status remains until clears $36

Copper – Favorite metal for 2025. $4 heading to $5+ in 2025

Mining shares – Major Gold producers will be printing money in 2025 with record free cash flow that can lead to huge increase in M & A.

Junior Resource Shares – One of these days…

BITCON – Never, ever, ever!
