Market Commentary
January 2025
Another New Year is upon us! I look back on the last 30 years and we have been through a number of ups and downs (mostly ups). After a hot 2023 and 2024 we wonder whether the 2025 market might be a little calmer. I hear it will be a negative year, a flat year, or an up year. We won’t know until next December….. In the meantime, we stay invested.
Lately, in the news, I am reading that AI might not be all that it is cracked up to be (I wrote about that six months ago). Perhaps, much like electric cars, AI doesn’t fit everything and everyone. It will get smarter, one of these days, but in the meantime, I prefer to talk to an actual person, much like I enjoy hearing the engine rev while I shift through the gears driving my sports car. It makes you feel alive.
I am looking forward to the new year. Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
