The S&P 500 is set to end the year with more than a 20% return—the second year in a row. However, low trading volumes, reduced rate cuts, and the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s presidency are expected to make waves during the first few months of 2025. Volatility can be either a good or a bad thing, depending on your trade idea. Still, most analysts, including myself, are optimistic about the market, making it a good time to trade bull puts.
