Dale Smothers points to a "mixed bag" of ecodata he says will lead to an "overdue" market correction. Despite believing the markets will close in the green by year-end 2025, Dale says safer investments can lead to more portfolio gains. He labels ETFs and cash as the safest bets, but notes Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL) as reliable Big Tech trades. Lockheed Martin (LMT) and RTX Corp. (RTX) are companies he expects to grow due to geopolitical uncertainty.
