After rallying for most of the last four months stocks have been down for the last three weeks. Despite this bout of weakness this is not the time to panic. I see four catalysts that tell me stocks will rebound and rally.
From a flurry of new IPOs set to hit the Street in the first quarter Bumble and Coinbase are two of the most interesting. Both of these companies are leaders in high-growth industries and I expect both to prosper.

The U.S. presidential election remains undecided. But the global stock market does not seem to care. In fact, stocks seem overjoyed – the S&P 500 (SPY) and NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) delivered a huge 2-day rally that ranks as one of the best in post election history.

Looking forward stocks are moving into the strongest six months of the year and I expect more gains this year.
