The markets, at least in the last few weeks of 2016, were defined by money pouring into the stock market from the sidelines, boosting stocks by more than $1 trillion since November.
But Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald has often said that the "real" profits start once the Dow gets above 20,000. So we're expecting the action will get even more intense - and perhaps more volatile.
You see, over the next few days and weeks, the nearly 53 million people who hold some $4.4 trillion in their 401(k)s will be taking a hard look at their 2017 allocations. With the Dow inches away from 20,000, you can bet they'll start to chase the performance that stocks offer.
