As a kid, when the holidays rolled around each year I would always get one present that was a surprise. My parents were pretty good at picking out the surprise present, so I definitely grew up loving the “surprise gift”.
So as the holidays approach this year I wanted to reach into the bag of stocks and pull out a couple of surprise companies that could do well in 2024. These two stocks are unrelated, except for the fact that they should do well at this point in the economic cycle as we see improving economic conditions (for stocks other than just the mega caps), and as interest rates top out. Our “surprise” stocks are Live Ventures (LIVE), and El Pollo Loco Holdings (LOCO).
