We reflect on our accomplishments from the past year and create goals for the new one. My year started out great. I ran 5 miles on New Year's Day - my longest run in more than a year. The following day, I had a doughnut for breakfast, so I'm back to even. I expect 2024 to be fascinating for the markets, the economy and our country. It will be a pivotal year in many ways. [[For Free? Click Here to Get the Names and Ticker Symbols of the Top Dividend Stocks in the Market!]( Obviously, the election in November will have ramifications for years. But in the nearer term, everyone is wondering whether the Fed will move interest rates... and if it does, in which direction. The overwhelming consensus is that rate cuts are coming in 2024. I'm not so convinced. We're not seeing much evidence of a slowdown. That doesn't mean one can't happen, but the Fed is not likely to get out ahead of a recession and reduce rates to ward off a slowing economy. It will probably wait until it's painfully obvious that the economy is in a downturn to make a move. An economic collapse doesn't happen overnight (except during a global pandemic). And even if a black swan event does occur again, it's hard to imagine our government or many others would immediately halt their economies, as they did in 2020. Now, I've got a knack for seeing what lies ahead...

And it's less than $3! A key announcement in February could send this stock rocketing over $20 (and you could miss your chance... FOREVER). [Get the ONE STOCK Now]( No Crystal Ball Needed Last January, in the Annual Forecast Issue of my newsletter, The Oxford Income Letter, I said a new bull market would begin in 2023. One sure did. The S&P 500 gained 24% last year. In 2022, I said value stocks would outperform growth stocks. It was certainly not a great year for value stocks, but their 7% drop was way better than the 30% haircut growth stocks took... and the 19% reduction the broad market saw. And with oil at around $75 per barrel early in 2022, I observed that the oil market was undersupplied and projected that crude would soar to $140. It peaked above $130. In January 2021, I wrote, "I expect inflation to take off [this year]." Boy, did it ever. Inflation rose from 1.4% in January of that year to 7% in December... and eventually reached a high of 9.1% in June 2022. Keep in mind, this was not a time when anyone was really expecting inflation. We were in the throes of the pandemic. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had just called the U.S. economy "extraordinarily uncertain."

[Click here to discover his secret.]( And in this year's Oxford Income Letter Forecast Issue, which came out on January 9, I explained why I'm once again bullish on energy. In fact, I made 10 predictions, including forecasts on interest rates (this one will surprise you), the markets, the economy and geopolitics... plus a shocking prediction about the U.S. presidential election. I also recently joined Oxford Club Chief Investment Strategist Alexander Green in [The Oxford Clubroom]( our new video platform that allows us to speak directly to our Members via livestream each week. During our hourlong Clubroom session, Alex and I discussed our biggest predictions for 2024 in detail... and our Members absolutely loved it. A Member who goes by "Mountain Steve" wrote... "I find this Clubroom very informative. Great format. Great sharing of different beliefs. Thank you!!" Johnny B. said... "Great job, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing your insights." And another Member posted... "Thanks guys and Club Members - appreciate all your input. Love the forum." That last note brings up an important point: The Clubroom isn't just about Alex and me "talking at" our Members. [It's intended to be a communal, interactive experience.]( And the feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive that we've decided to open the doors of the Clubroom to EVERYONE next week during The Oxford Club's first-ever [VIP All-Access Week](.
