How Does 37% Sound? Dec 29, 2024: Image: The Schwab U.S. Large Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) is up more than 37% so far in 2024.

So what’s the playbook for 2025? You can probably guess that I think large cap growth and big cap tech will continue to lead the markets to new heights. 2024 was a boring year, if a 37% return can be considered boring for large cap growth.

Nike’s outlook for the near term doesn’t provide us with much confidence. As we have noted before, Nike has a storied brand that is unmatched by rivals, but it may take more than a new CEO to turn things around. Competition remains fierce and the promotional environment intense, while consumer discretionary spending remains a big wild card. We like Nike, but we continue to stay on the sidelines until we start to see some improvement on the top line, not just better than feared results.
