Here's where things stand year-to-date: S&P 500: +16.7% Nasdaq: +21.96% Dow Jones: +12.67% It's been a great year for long-term investors.

Winners chosen from the first emails received—good luck! 🎅 December Outlook: The Santa Claus Rally David expects December to bring a Santa Claus Rally, meaning markets move upward into year-end. The only potential obstacle? Next week's Federal Reserve meeting. If Chair Powell does not announce a rate cut, David believes President Trump may announce his next Federal Reserve Chair earlier than expected. A leading possibility: Kevin Hassett, a traditionalist known for focusing on: Full employment Lower inflation Reducing the size of the Federal Reserve Changes in Fed leadership can have meaningful effects on interest rates and broader markets. 📈 Predictions for Next Year David's outlook for 2026: Markets will go up Interest rates will move lower Inflation will continue to decline Gas prices will decrease He also notes that the Big Beautiful Bill will need a full tax cycle before the economy reflects its long-term effects. 📬 Send Your Questions Have a financial question for a future episode?
