Anything could have happened in 2024. The uncertainties were immense:
- Outcome of the US Presidential election
- Trajectory of US interest rates and inflation
- At least two active wars with an element of US involvement
- Trajectory of US stocks in this environment
- The US Fed’s interest rate policy (did I say interest rates twice?)
- Numerous other personal and world economic and social events.
The results – to date – in several of these categories have been positive or on-the-way-to-becoming-positive.
