Investors burned off any turkey glut this week and pushed the S&P 500 towards, once again, a new record high. Saying “new record high” feels like a broken record this year, and we may not be done yet. The market historically moves higher in December on the back of the famed “Santa Claus Rally.”

This week serves as a reminder that sound investing still comes down to the fundamentals. Don’t just watch what stocks are doing. Go deeper. Understand which companies are backed by real profits, strong balance sheets, and sustainable business models. This diligence can make all the difference in navigating a seemingly endless “new record high” market.
