Bonds, Etsy stock are the best buys in 2025: Strategist

In This Article:

Great Hill Capital Chairman and Managing Member Thomas Hayes joins Market Domination to share stock market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) insights and investment recommendations.

Hayes predicts that bonds will be the market's dark horse in 2025. "I think the biggest surprise of 2025 is going to be that bonds get bid," he states, referencing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's proposed "333" plan and the subsequent impact it had on bonds and yields. According to Hayes, this trend creates an attractive entry point for yield-seeking investors.

Among his stock picks, Hayes highlights Etsy (ETSY) as an opportunity. Despite the stock's 85% decline, he remains bullish on the e-commerce platform, emphasizing its unique marketplace position. Hayes particularly notes that Etsy has "been able to maintain all the users they picked up during COVID" while demonstrating robust cash flow generation. This user retention, combined with Etsy's distinctive product offerings that aren't available elsewhere, makes it an intriguing investment prospect in his view.
