Use ITR Economics' stock market insights found in the Trends Report™ to help you with your investment strategy and planning for the future.
The stock market is in choppy waters. The year to date has been rewarding, but the roller coaster run since early summer should have caught your attention. It is not our place to give you specific advice, but the material we published about stock prices, specifically the S&P 500, in the September 2024 edition of the Trends Report™ should be a must-read as you look forward.
There appears to a market rotation going on within the 11 sectors that comprise the S&P 500. Even if you do not want to read the specifics we highlight, talk to your financial planner to get their take on what is happening. The horse you have been riding so far in 2024 may not be the one you wish to close out the year on.

The alternative to not going through the reallocation exercise is that you may be dislocated from future wealth.
