Are stocks going to rebound in 2023?
Stocks move up and down frequently. Between November 2023 and January 2024, the stock market moved higher (following a generally downward trend between August and October 2023). The market's recent strength seems to reflect, in part, expectations of a major change in Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy.

Good Tidings
Let's review the good times of late 2023. The S&P 500, which tracks the most valuable stocks in the U.S. market, rose 11.2 percent in the last quarter — and had a total return of 11.7 percent, including dividends. For the year, it gained 24.2 percent and returned 26.3 percent, including dividends.
As a whole, analysts are optimistic about the outlook for stock prices in 2024. The consensus analyst price target for the S&P 500 is 5,090, suggesting roughly 8.5% upside from current levels.

Key Takeaways. While holding or moving to cash might feel good mentally and help avoid short-term stock market volatility, it is unlikely to be wise over the long term. Once you cash out a stock that's dropped in price, you move from a paper loss to an actual loss.

What to expect in 2024 stock market?
Key Takeaways. The U.S. equity market's rally at the end of 2023 has left stocks overvalued, with little room for error. Analysts' estimates for 2024 corporate earnings may be too optimistic, given a likely tapering in U.S. economic growth. Markets may also be overestimating the number of Fed rate cuts in 2024.
Recession risks have come down but still loom in 2024. Forecasters have become so confident of a soft landing for the U.S. economy they're already unbuckling their seat belts.
Highlights: Nominal median U.S. equity market return of 4.2% to 6.2% during the next decade; 4.8%–5.8% median expected return for U.S. fixed income (as of Sept. 30, 2023). Vanguard's latest U.S. equity market return forecast is a touch below where it was a year ago. (The firm presents its forecasts in a range.)

Much like Moderna, Pfizer (PFE) also suffered this year. Shares of the stock were down 44%. This was the worst year on record for both stocks. Discount retailer Dollar General (DG) dropped 45% in 2023, its first annual decline since going public in 1968.
It typically takes five months to reach the “bottom” of a correction. However, once the market starts to turn, it can recover quickly. The average recovery time for a correction is just four months! That's why investors with truly diversified portfolios may consider staying investing for the long-term.
Should I move stocks to cash now?
Short-term and long-term goals
Stocks are often held as part of retirement planning, which for many people will still be decades away. In this case, selling stocks in favor of cash could be detrimental to your long-term returns and runs the risk that you won't meet your investment goals.
“Some of your funds should be positioned in cash instruments to meet more immediate needs, but money that is intended to achieve long-term objectives should be invested in assets like stocks and bonds to work toward those goals.”
If you have $50,000 to invest, there are plenty of good options. You can choose safe investments, like CDs or high-yield savings accounts. Alternatively, you can invest in things like stocks and real estate in the hopes of achieving superior long-term returns.
