Is it Too High to Buy?

A record high in the S&P 500 was made on January 2, 2022 and now, just over two years later, we are making record highs on a daily basis.  Here are three takeaways…One, the S&P has now made up for the viscous declines of 2022.  Secondly, an interesting stat that comes from Ned Davis Research (thanks to our friends at Riverfront and JPMorgan) shows that making new highs after at least a one year time period, have historically resulted in positive performance over the next 3, 6, and 12 month periods.  Finally, with the expectation of future rate cuts from the Fed in 2024, has there been other times when the Fed cut rates while stocks were making new all-time highs?  2024 is off and running
