2019 Outlook
Jack Schniepp • Jan 09, 2019

After a wild 4th Quarter in the markets the S&P 500 index ended down -4.4 for the year, it’s worst return since 2008. As is usual, the short term outlook is murky. LPL Financial along with all other investment firms attempt to provide a bit longer view with their Annual Outlooks for the coming year. The consensus message remains the same, business and economic fundamentals still point towards the likelihood of growth and not an imminent recession. These fundamentals don’t always tell the whole story but they still remain the most reliable indication of the direction of the economy and market investments.

The following link is the executive summary of LPL Financial’s Outlook 2019 “FUNDAMENTAL: How to Focus on What Really Matters in the Markets”
