Has The Market Become Blind To Risk? | Lance Roberts & Adam Taggart

The Fed sent a shock through markets last week when it announced that fewer rates cuts may be needed to reach its policy goals. The S&P immediately sold off by -3% and the Nasdaq and Russell sold off even harder. It this just a curveball that, once digested, won't a matter much to the bull trend? Or, could it have set up a reversal in trend? To discuss, the advisors at New Harbor Financial give their take and then answer viewer questions live. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thoughtful-money/support

Well, this interview is being recorded the day after the Federal Reserve spooked markets by slowing the expected pace of future rate cuts.

For perspective, we're fortunate to be joined by Dr. Ed Yardini, President of Yardeni Research. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

As 2024 draws to a close, the mood on Wall Street is very jolly. Stocks are back to trading near all-time highs. Positive sentiment -- be it among investors, businesses or consumers -- is suddenly spiking. Is such exuberance merited? Should we expect the market's good times to continue rolling in 2025?

I often emphasize that the most useful people to interview are asset managers. Because they don't have the luxury of merely having an opinion on the road ahead -- they have to commit capital to their convictions, and be judged upon the results. Today we have the great fortune of having the return appearance of one of the most respected capital allocators in the business: Jan van Eck Jan is CEO of vanEck, an asset management firm with over $100 billion in assets under management invested across its wide family of ETFs and funds, spanning equity, bond, commodity, digital and regional asset classes. As we've done the past two quarters, Jan and I will spend the next hour discussing his latest macro and market outlooks, as well as where he sees the biggest opportunities for investors right now.

As we prepare to enter a new year, there's a revived optimism on Wall Street. Excited in part by the pro-business policies of the incoming Trump administration, stocks are back to trading at record highs and investor and business confidence is rising. But that said, the average American household is still struggling under a high cost of living, and a labor market that does not seem as robust as we've been told. How will this dichotomy resolve in 2025? Will consumers eventually catch Wall Street's optimism? Or may stocks have to moderate its expectations for economic growth & corporate profits?

As 2024 begins to draw to a close, investors are cheering a second blockbuster year in the stock market. And as we enter 2025, will the party continue? Will today's asset prices shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and power still higher in the new year? Or will 2025 be a less enjoyable, or even a more painful year for investors? I can't think of anyone better to ask these questions to than today's expert, who is among the world's most highly respected living investors, Felix Zulauf. He thinks we'll be in for wild ride in 2025, with stocks peaking in Q1, then falling 15-120%, recovering possibly to new highs, and then ending the year with a serious drawdown. He believes his predicted "decade of the roller coaster" will enter full swing next year. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?
