The futures traded higher Thursday morning after a wild Wednesday that saw a big market rally, with the Dow Jones industrials and the S&P 500 hitting all-time highs. This despite the unrest in Washington, D.C., and some big dips in technology as investors size up how a Biden administration may deal with Silicon Valley. It is a pretty good bet now that 2021 could resemble last year, as many of the same tailwinds, like stimulus and low interest rates, remain on the table.

Investors should be reviewing portfolios very closely now and making adjustments in positioning for the first quarter and the balance of 2021.
