LPL FINANCIAL RESEARCH 2012 OUTLOOK - MEETING IN THE MIDDLE
While the last few years have been highlighted with record swings in market returns and widely oscillating economic data, LPL Financial's Research team expects 2012 will be less about the fringes and more about the middle. While volatility is likely to remain elevated, the market and its economic backdrop may begin to migrate from the extremes — oftentimes even polarized extremes — toward a more normalized period where investor sentiment, economic activity and the market’s direction start to move increasingly in alignment.
While moving away from the drastic extremes will be a welcome environment for whipsawed investors, the center offers its own distinct challenges and opportunities. The key hurdle for the market in 2012 will be finding the right balance.
To help you gain a comprehensive understanding of LPL Financial's views, we are making the 2012 Outlook available in three versions -- a full report, an abridged version and a presentation-ready version.
