Keeping up with news that impacts investments on a global or local scale is important. A smart investor uses a variety of resources, including online news sites, custom aggregators, tickers, and alerts, to stay current on the latest events that may impact their investments.

Investment News and Updates are geared toward bringing on experts in various fields to make predictions about what the markets are doing next. But are these experts really that reliable? Warren Buffett has famously said that they’re “better-informed than you” (though he also thinks they’re pretty bad). And if you look at some of the research out there, it does seem to support his claim.

Investment News and Updates: Stay Informed on Market Trends

With a new administration poised to take over in 2025 and major policy shifts, from taxes to tariffs, on the table, it’s understandable that investors would have questions.

Amid continued robust economic growth, healthy corporate earnings and premium stock valuations, Hyzy believes that the 2025 year-ahead holds promise for investors.

This has prompted fears about a coming recession, which he believes is unlikely.
