151737576 : Happy Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring you and your family good health, wealth and success.

151737576 : Still keeping an eye on the AI because of its growth potential in lots of industries and healthcare space because of ageing population and that drive for better health. I would also like to add bluechip stocks and ETFs for my lower risk investments.

151737576 : Sure there is increasing adoption of AI but there is still the issue about whether AI should be making decisions without being checked by a human. I also feel that the robotics sector might be a bit hyped with the new year and many people making resolutions. I still think that AI will become more dominant in a few more years but better to buy early and not miss the boat.

151737576 : I like playing the long game so I am happy with my last trade of the year. In the new year I will be getting more etfs but looking to expand into blue chip stocks so I can build a foundation before investing in more riskier investments.

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.
