Will Santa Claus Deliver a Bull Market Rally?

Robert Baharian from Baharian Wealth Management addresses the potential of a Santa Claus rally and its impact on Australian markets. He indicates that bull markets lasting two years historically tend to extend to three, suggesting the current market environment is promising.

Robert warns of risks in 2025, including overexposure as investors flock to equities after staying in cash. He emphasises that investing is a marathon, not a sprint, and hints at potential buying opportunities with cash reserves. He advises maintaining a strategic approach and being prepared to adjust depending on market conditions.

Robert encourages balancing investment portfolios and underscores the benefits of diversification, especially beyond Australian stocks, which only represent a fraction of global market capitalisation. He notes that while Australian franking credits are valuable, they should not overshadow the superior returns seen in markets like the S&P 500 recently.
