Get Ready for Some REAL Market Fireworks Later this Year

Mike Larson

The Fourth of July holiday is one of my all-time favorites.

Over the past several years, my wife, kids, and I have done beach and pool days … grilled ribs, burgers, salmon, and hot dogs … caught minor league baseball games, local bands, and great fireworks nearby … and more.

This year won’t be any different, even if the kids are getting older all the time (18, 14, and 11 — hard to believe!)

But the REAL fireworks for investors are likely to come later this summer and into the fall. I say that because any number of developments could rock the markets to their core …

First, tumbling oil prices are putting increasing pressure on Middle East nations and weaker stateside producers.

But bargains abound in this sector, and even the slightest positive news on production, inventories, or both could trigger a major rebound. That’s why I’m actively searching for potential bounce-back candidates.

Second, the love affair with FAANG stocks is showing signs of mellowing.

That’s actually a good thing, because it’s allowing other sectors and style groups (like financials, home builders, utilities, and small caps) to take the lead. If the market continues to broaden out like that, we could be in for one heck of a rally into year end.

Third, tensions continue to build on the political front. Donald Trump’s aggressive growth agenda has crashed headlong into a wall of Congressional resistance. But behind-the-scenes negotiations and horse-trading could finally get the ball rolling on tax and regulation reform, as well as infrastructure spending.

Many financial, materials, and infrastructure and construction stocks are like coiled springs as a result, waiting to explode once progress occurs. And many defense stocks are barely hiccupping at all, continuing on their merry way higher!

Fourth, the Federal Reserve is continuing its campaign of interest rate hikes. That’s creating new winners (and losers), and any one of its likely moves later in 2017 and 2018 could set off a fresh batch of market fireworks.

Those are just a few of the reasons why I’m hitting the airport soon for two live-and-in-person events with investors like you.

The first is the MoneyShow San Francisco from August 24-26, while the second is the MoneyShow Toronto from September 8-9 — and I’d love for you to join me for one (or both) of them.

Indeed, I have three seminars scheduled for San Francisco, and two for Toronto. Having attended and presented at these shows for more than a decade now, I can tell you they’re well worth your time.

Plus, it’s free to register and attend! All you have to do is click here for San Francisco or here for Toronto. Your other option is to call 1-800-970-4355 and tell them I sent you.

In the meantime, please let me take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful Fourth of July. I hope you spend it with the ones you love, and enjoy it as much as I will.

Until next time,

Mike
