At the start of every year, analysts and talking heads put out their predictions for the year ahead.

But over the years, most prognosticators are pretty bad at predicting what things will look like just 12 months in the future.

For example, six months ago nearly everyone was calling for several interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Yet here we are in July and the central bank has yet to begin its easing cycle. In fact, odds are that we’ll only see one interest rate cut before the end of the year.

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall dive into the first half of 2024 and discuss how things played out compared to forecasts. They provide expectations for the economy, the presidential election, and the stock market through the remainder of the year.

And of course,  mention a few stocks worth adding to your watch list.
