The Wall Street is headed to end 2023 on a strongly positive note as the Fed’s indication of coming rate cuts have infused a latest rally which isn’t abating despite several Fed officials saying the optimism might be overdone. Several analyst firms are also giving bullish outlooks for the next year. Goldman Sachs even took its previous 2024 S&P 500 target back and came up with a new one on the back of the renewed optimism in the markets. Goldman Sachs’ equities strategy team headed by David Kostin now expects the S&P 500 to hit 5,100 by the end of 2024, much higher than its previous forecast of 4,700.

Goldman Sachs analysts believe rate cuts and economic growth could bode well for small-cap stocks which have hitherto been tarnished due to recession fears as investors flocked to safer, large-cap stocks. One of the key takeaways of Goldman Sachs’ new stance was the firm’s expectation that the first rate cut of 2024 could come in March. This was unexpected since most of the analysts are expecting the Fed to start cutting rates in the second half of the year.

But Goldman Sachs’ optimism is shared by many notable analyst firms and financial services firms. For example, Bank of America now expects 100 basis points of interest rate cuts in 2024. BofA also expects the first rate cut to happen in March. BofA believes the US economy could “enjoy” a decline in inflation as well as growth at the same time.

"Howie, buy low. Sell high"

Legendary value investor and billionaire Howard Marks, while talking to Goldman Sachs in 2022, talked about how emotions often get the best of us and when markets begin to decline how everyone panics. Marks’ words highlight the importance of having a long-term approach in investing and how practicing patience and resilience could set you apart from average investors:

“If you think about the norm, what happens? Things are going well. The economy is performing well. Companies are reporting good earnings. Stock prices are rising. Everybody's optimistic. And the longer this goes on, people become more and more and more positive until they buy here. And when they run out of money, then things turn around. Then, eventually, the economy weakens, then the corporate profits aren't so good and stock-- prices start going down and people start losing hope. And as this continues, they get more and more depressed and more panicky. And they start fearing further losses until they sell out down here. In other words, they tend to buy more here and sell more here, which is the opposite of what we all should do. My mother said, "Howie, buy low. Sell high." And so, emotion is our enemy. Emotion tends to get us todo the wrong thing at the wrong time. And we have to resist that.

And one thing I point out is that the influences that affect the crowd and make it do what I just described, those influences are universal. And I feel them too. And you feel them too. And everyone in here. We read the same newspapers. The news is the same for all of us. In order to outperform, by definition, you have to depart from the crowd. You have to hold a different position. And you have to have resolve to do it. And, you know, it can't be easy. You know?  I had one of my colleagues came to me in '98. Talking about ancient history. Long term capital. I just [UNINTEL] down and we had the ruble default and the Southeast Asian crisis, and there were a lot of things going wrong. And one of the guys who considers himself to be very […] comes to me and he says, "This is it. I think it's all over. I think the financial system is going to melt down. I think--." And he explains to me all these things. And I say, "Great. Thank you for sharing that with me. Now go back to your desk and do your job." I said, "A battlefield hero is not somebody who's unafraid. It's somebody who's afraid, but he does it away." I mean, if you're in scary circumstances, to be unafraid, you kind of have to be a nut. But the key is can you be afraid and do your job anyway?"
