2. Some things change, some stay the same…
As we approach the 4-year mark since the onset of Covid we reflected on what has seemed to change permanently, and what has returned to ‘normal’.
Besides the adjustment to a work from home business culture, private jet travel seems to have enjoyed a structural shift post Covid.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) monthly Business Jet Report provides a snapshot of trends in business jet activity, and the report from November 2023 shows continued strong demand for private jets.
3. Can Trump triumph?…
As we close out 2023 the predictions for where 2024 will end have begun. None of Wall Streets largest banks are predicting the S&P 500 (INDEXSP: .INX) to fall under its 2022 low, and the majority think it wont top the high from the beginning of 2022. What do you think?…
2024 is also a US election year. And election years tend to be strong years for the S&P 500.
S&P 500 returns historically were positive 83% of the time during presidential election years (only 4 out of the past 24 election years were negative, i.e. 17%).
