But there\u2019s more than bacon and electrolytes on hand to keep you steady: with inflation letting up, interest rate cuts ahead, and optimistic company forecasts, 2024 could be a much calmer year for investors. Thing is, the effect of most of those market catalysts will already have been baked into stock prices, meaning it\u2019ll take some even better \u2013&nbsp;and most importantly, unexpected \u2013&nbsp;news to pull the market even higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-i-care\"><strong>Why should I care?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>For markets:<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<em>Apocalypse later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial intelligence could become that surprise \u2013&nbsp;but hopefully a pleasant one. If the tech manages to trickle into non-tech firms, cutting their costs and plumping their profits, it could spark something special in the market. But that\u2019s the most optimistic outcome: artificial intelligence could wipe us out sooner than you could say \u201cI, Robot\u201d, but it\u2019ll likely land somewhere in the middle, cruising through more development stages without transforming the world of business (yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The bigger picture:<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<em>Patience is a virtue.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind you, if you\u2019re laser-focused on 2024, you\u2019ve already put yourself at a disadvantage. The virtues of investing with a long-term view have been celebrated for centuries, and for good reason. If you believe that economies will develop over time, which they tend to do as populations grow and productivity improves, then you\u2019ll expect company profits to plod along too. So if you like it simple and have the patience, holding a bet on the market for years is hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted December 28, 2023 &#8211; <a
