With the stock market in ‘striking distance’ of all-time high, Wharton’s Jeremy Siegel warns the only thing that can derail it is Jerome Powell
The end of the year often marks an uptick for the stock market, with a so-called Santa Rally pushed by brokers offloading dud stocks and buying into performers for a year-end boost. Many on Wall Street say these bullish signals could continue into 2024, with analysts saying they expect to see the S&P 500 topping out at 4,700. The famed stock watcher Jeremy Siegel, of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business School, is one of them, saying the Dow Jones could also be in for an “all-time high” in the coming months. There’s just one thing standing in its way.
Siegel has long been cautious of the Federal Reserve’s approach to rate hikes, often suggesting that the central bank’s chairman, Jerome Powell, needs to adopt an element of flexibility. And in his comment on Wisdom Tree this week, Siegel once again made the argument for moderation of policy.
The Dow Jones, currently up 9.2% for the year to date and at 36,204 close to its highest level on record, could be held back by the Fed if it remains overly committed to its 2% inflation target, Siegel said.

St. Petersburg, Florida/ Acceswire/ December 6, 2023 — Entrex Carbon Market (OTC:RGLG) today announced new carbon offset projects it anticipates developing in 2024 representing over $97 million in projected revenue with an estimated $62 million in EBITDA, exclusive of project financing costs.

“2023 has been a year during which the voluntary carbon market has evolved significantly to our benefit. We’ve also worked to get our house in order with the OTC Markets and the SEC and expect to be fully compliant with all applicable reporting requirements. This should allow us to be uplisted to the QB during 2024; we also anticipate our name and symbol filings will be updated early in the new year which should avoid confusion for current and potential investors.” Watkins continued.
“We’re working to establish various off balance sheet project financing solutions which will avoid any dilutive effect to our shareholders and balance sheet.

Using Emerging Internet and Technology ETFs to Identify Stock-Buying Opportunities
November 29, 2023 by Herb Blank
The “Magnificent Seven” has now replaced “FAMANGs” as the nickname for current market leadership. It is also a somewhat deridingly used term for the “overpriced” stocks hated by value managers. Holdovers include Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Gone is Netflix. New are Nvidia and Tesla while Facebook had a facelift to be renamed Meta. As tech has long been associated with leading growth, the nature of what constitutes tech will remain important in the future. The tech that will be commoditized and replaced is yet to be determined. Ask former owners of Digital Equipment Corporation, Cisco Systems and Hewlett Packard how quickly a tech company’s leadership can fall from grace as new technologies take over. From a growth manager’s perspective, the goal is to own the future Magnificent Seven, not the current one.
