One of the primary issues moving markets in 2024 is the direction of interest rates. Specifically, when will the Federal Reserve begin cutting them?
There are many reasons for investors to want interest rate cuts, but it's likely to be particularly significant for owners of mid-cap stocks. These are stocks with a market cap between $2 and $10 billion.
But what mid-cap stocks should you be looking at? Quality should be high on your list. You want to find companies that have solid earnings and are projected to grow those earnings in the next 12 to 18 months. The stocks in this special presentation are projected to have a minimum of 15% earnings growth in the next year.
As the Federal Reserve is likely to lower interest rates, you'll also want to pay attention to sectors where money is expected to flow. That means looking beyond technology stocks and into areas such as consumer staples and even some beaten-down consumer discretionary stocks.
