21 Dec 2019 Outlook

AFTER NEARLY 10 YEARS of witnessing the U.S. economy and stock
market recover—and thrive—investors are starting to wonder if we’ve
seen all this expansion and bull market have to offer. At LPL Research,
we believe there’s more room to run, and don’t expect an impending
recession or bear market in 2019.

Given we are a decade in and likely nearing the end of the cycle,
however, it is a good time to start thinking about what the next phase
for the economy and markets may look like. The intention here is not
to start worrying or assuming the worst, but to remind ourselves that
slowdowns and declines—even recessions and bear markets—are a
normal part of our market cycle. And even more importantly, if we’re
prepared for any downturns, we can be better positioned to weather
any challenges that may be ahead.

That’s where Outlook 2019: FUNDAMENTAL comes in—because we
could all use a handy guide when it comes to this market environment.
We’re here to make sure you’re prepared for what may be around the
corner, or further down the line, and help you through it all.
