Anti-Predictions 2025: The Best Buys for a 2025 “Threepeat”

December 31, 2024

Note from Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily: Every financial media consumer loves a good prediction. And we understand the love for them…

They’re exciting. They’re bold. And when the ones you follow happen to pan out, they can make a huge impact on your wealth.

But the truth is, predictions can be fickle. If they’re not supported by data, they can easily be a damper on your trading at worst… and a distraction at best.

That’s why we’re doing something very different this year.

All of our analysts’ 2025 predictions use the long-term price action of individual stocks, sectors, and markets to make what we hope will be more effective predictions than what you’re used to seeing.

We like to think of them as “anti-predictions” since we base them on data, not human judgement and conjecture. And one tool, proving already to be TradeSmith’s biggest breakthrough in 20 years, is making the job easier, more fun, and hopefully more profitable for you.

Our series continues today with Mike Burnick, editor of Constant Cash Flow and our resident volatility and options income expert. Read on…

Anti-Predictions 2025: The Best Buys for a 2025 “Threepeat”

BY MIKE BURNICK, SENIOR ANALYST, TRADESMITH

What do you think happens when the market sees back-to-back annual gains of more than 20%?

You might be thinking crash… or a year of frustrating sideways action.

Not so. Our data tells us that we’re due for a “threepeat”… with above-average, if relatively muted, returns in store for next year.

Where should you go for the best chance of outperforming? If you ask me, it’s all about the little-loved sector of the market that’s extremely cheap relative to the big winners of the last two years.

Plus, the companies are due to turn in earnings growth nearly three times the S&P 500 average in 2025.

Watch my video now to hear where you’ll want to focus your attention in the year ahead, and all the data backing up my 2025 outlook:

As for timing the trade to get in on these opportunities… Those of you who follow me at Inside TradeSmith know I’m a big fan of the TradeSmith Seasonality tool. You can look up any ticker to see a custom seasonality chart – showing the very best times to buy (and sell) that specific stock or ETF throughout the year.

And even though investors were still waiting for a Santa Claus Rally at the time I’m writing this… Our TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan does have a big gift for all of you:

Anyone who registers for Keith’s upcoming seasonality webinar can get free access to TradeSmith Seasonality charts on their stocks. The webinar, Breakthrough 2025, will be next Wednesday, Jan. 8. Click here to sign up and try out the tool while it’s available for free.
