It might be hard to believe, but another year is nearly gone. In roughly two and a half months we’ll be turning the calendar on 2019 and not only ringing in a new year, but a new decade as well.
Although the previous decade ended on a sour note (i.e., the Great Recession), the 2010s have been exceptionally kind to long-term-oriented investors. The iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI), tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (INDEX: ^IXIC), and broad-based S&P 500 (INDEX: ^GSPC) have respectively gained 155%, 252%, and 165% this decade.
And make no mistake about it, expectations continue to remain high that the longest-running economic expansion in our nation’s history can keep chugging along.
Of course, wishful thinking may not be needed for the following 10 companies. These stocks all have major catalysts in 2020 that are bound to make it a true “happy New Year.”
