In this article, we discuss the 10 stocks that will make you rich in 2024. To skip the detailed analysis of the recent events in the financial markets and expert outlook, go directly to the 5 Stocks That Will Make You Rich In 2024.
So far, the Fed’s efforts have managed to contain the inflation and is expected to push the US economy toward a soft landing rather than a recession like the European countries such as the U.K. and Germany experienced.
Last year was another strange year for the market as it was believed that the US economy would go into a recession. However, the complete opposite happened, and the S&P 500 was able to manage gains of over 25%. While it is believed that growth stocks usually perform well during interest rate cuts and have bearish outcomes during economic downturns, the economy was saved by the technology sector, which is dominated by growth stocks. Companies like Nvidia and Meta saw triple-digit growth and are still up 63.63% and 39.78% year-to-date (YTD) at the time of market closing on February 23.
It is important to note that while it is a popular belief that AI and semiconductor stocks were the top performers of the year, it is not entirely true. Blockchain and crypto news were wildly overshadowed by the AI revolution. Some of the best-performing ETFs included Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH) and Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI). However, cryptocurrencies have shown a significant amount of volatility in the first two months of the year.
While the Fed has not been clear on its rate-cutting position in 2024, experts believe that it might start in the first half of the year, which means that growth stocks might make you rich in 2024. Although experts still have mixed opinions about the current year, you can still take a look at 14 Best Beaten Down Stocks To Buy Right Now, which also contains a list of stocks with the potential to make you rich in 2024.
2024 Outlook According to Analysts
Even though 2023 was a great year for the market, many analysts believe that the current year might not be as great and should be an average year. It shouldn’t come as a surprise as the news of a soft landing has been spreading around. The “average year” analysis is provided by Morgan Stanley, which believes in it due to normalizing financial conditions, excessive valuations, and a few other factors. The firm suggests maintaining a preference for value stocks as compared to growth stocks at least till the first rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
On the other hand, B.Riley and JP Morgan have quite bullish views about the future of the market. One of their main concerns is the over-valuation of stocks due to the 2023 rally. JP Morgan warns about a potential 20% to 30% dip in the market, while B. Riley Strategist Paul Dietrich predicts a mild recession, which could steer the market toward a 40% decline.
