From USA Today:
After a stellar 2019, investors look ahead to 2020 for stock picks.
Analysts are skeptical that the stock market’s gains, which are at more than 20% in 2019, will remain in the double-digit percentage range next year. They expect volatility to return in the midst of a U.S. presidential election.
Some investors wait for stocks to get cheaper before they step in and scoop up buying opportunities. Companies poised to outperform, they say, will be ones that can continue to grow their earnings even if the economy slows.
