Where are the best opportunities? What are the greatest risks? Our portfolio performance in 2025 was outstanding. Our silver stock pick (First Magestic Silver) more than tripled, performing far better than its more popular cousin, gold. Peru more than doubled and was a better play than just betting on copper (+32%). Clean energy was one of the top performers as well, with 60% gains compared to Nvidia’s 40%.

With oil and defense stocks and the S&P 500 at all-time highs, should you buy, hold, or sell? Will the safe havens continue to dominate returns? Are there any risks with Peru and copper? With Tesla, Microsoft, and Palantir down -21-31%, has the tide shifted toward value and away from growth?

The S&P 500 recorded a “three-peat” in 2025, or three successive years of double-digit gains. What is the likelihood of scoring a “four peat?” Even though CFRA thinks the bull will remain intact by year-end, it projects increased volatility along with a lower-than-average full-year percentage increase. Why so cautious? Still-high valuations, an elevated Buffett Indicator, a softening jobs market, late-cycle and defensive sector leadership, combined with mid-term elections that typically present formidable headwinds. Offsetting tailwinds include the fourth year of this bull market and double-digit earnings growth expectations, not only for 2026 but also for 2027. Sam Stovall, CFRA’s Chief Investment Strategist, will discuss what the market’s recent rotation implies for investor returns in the year ahead.
