Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shortly after the opening bell in New York City, November 21, 2019.

cnbc.comIn 2019, almost every investment worked
The S&P 500 is up more than 25% and counting. For stock investors specifically, it was hard to guess wrong. A look at the S&P 500 companies' internal performance shows only 64 names, or 12%, are down this year. With the trade war still unresolved and the election coming up, Wall Street is forecasting much more modest gains next year. Wall Street's equity strategists are generally more cautious about 2020, with the average S&P 500 target of 3,272 implying a little more than 5% gain.
cnbc.comThe technology sector could be headed for new all-time highs by the end of 2019, trader says
"You're seeing the semis, measured by the [VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF, or] SMH, make new highs. You're seeing large-cap tech like Microsoft just below highs. You're seeing Apple at new highs. Climbing to $88 would mean new all-time highs for the XLK, and a nearly 8% rise from its Wednesday morning levels. So, I'm risking about a dollar, or $100 per call spread you're trading."
