We're getting into the time of year when people start talking about a Santa Claus rally. Specifically, that's an event in which stocks move sharply higher during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. However, colloquially, investors have come to understand it as being a strong rally in the last month of the year.
Why should you believe that the market may rally to close the year? First, it's likely that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at least once, if not twice, before the year ends. That will be bullish for stocks in the short term. Second, the stock market has already had a strong year despite the uncertainty surrounding the election. With that uncertainty out of the way, many investors may want to make up for lost time.
That means, if you have some money on the sidelines, now may be the time to look at putting some capital to work. In this special presentation, we're looking at seven “risk-on" stocks that are likely to outperform the market in the short term. These are stocks that may have been too risky in the past year but now may lead the charge forward.
