Midyear Review: Stocks Maintain Momentum at Year’s Halfway Point

Investors who diversify, focus on the premiums, and embrace a flexible investing approach will still confront uncertainties in the year's second half. Uncertainty is unavoidable, and it accounts for the risk that can lead to positive returns.

Will global hostilities in the Middle East and Ukraine ease or increase? Will the US election bring a big November stock swing? We'll find out eventually, by the time the answers are also incorporated in market prices.

Until then, 2024-like every year-is a good one for having a long-term plan and sticking with it.
