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!
