After nearly 10 years of witnessing the US economy and stock market recover and thrive, many investors are starting to wonder if we've seen all this expansion and bull market have to offer. Despite the market weakness we saw at the end of 2018, LPL Research expects the US economy to grow in 2019 and support gains for stocks, while keeping in mind that it may be a good time to start thinking about what we may expect of the markets and economy moving forward. 

LPL Financial's research team has released its Outlook 2019: Fundamental: How to Focus on What Really Matters in the Markets, which consists of financial market forecasts, economic insights and investment guidance for the year ahead. 

It's important to remember that market fluctuations are normal and as always, we emphasize maintaining a long-term perspective and a well-balanced portfolio.
