"Predicting the Continued Dominance of the 'Magnificent Seven' Stocks in 2024"
Morgan Stanley's Andrew Slimmon predicts that the U.S. stock market will continue to rise in 2024 as investors move out of cash and chase the rally. He believes that the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Tesla, may continue to lead the market next year due to strong earnings and stock buybacks. Slimmon expects a potential correction in stocks before the end of 2023 but remains optimistic about the economy and the market's long-term prospects. He anticipates the S&P 500 index to break its previous record and potentially reach the 5,000s by the end of 2024.
