151737576 : I think the Santa Rally will continue into the new year especially with expected record sales this year from Black Friday and Boxing Day. I also buy for the long term so as long as it's going up and not it's not temporary I will be a happy investor :)

151737576 : I think NASDAQ will go up this week due to the Christmas period as everyone is looking to make the last trades before the new year and next year Trump will be inaugurated as President which is making people confident in the US stock market.

151737576 : For 2025, would I be better focusing on investing in the ASX or another market and why?

151737576 : What types of stocks might I want to be watching in 2025?

151737576 : With the Trump win, hopefully there is more money flowing into the AU healthcare sector as more US companies can do clinical trials here. But since it's all a guess I still will use ETFs to take advantage of any growth in the AU market.
I would like to purchase bank stocks since they're a bluechip stock and banks make up a large proportion of the AU share market but need money to buy stocks.

151737576 : Definitely healthcare. Already starting to see it being used in some places to record patient consults so the doctor has more time to investigate and ask the patient questions. In the future, I would expect AI to be smart enough to provide potential diagnoses, treatment options and even provide real time advice during surgeries.
