In this article, we will look at the 15 Best Long-Term Penny Stocks to Invest In.
On December 10, Meghan Shue, Wilmington Trust chief investment strategist, appeared on CNBC’s ‘The Exchange’ to talk about the Federal Reserve meeting and the labor market.
Shue expects three more Fed cuts next year, which is pretty much in line with the market’s expectations. Looking at both sides of the Fed’s mandate, we see that while we are still above target in inflation, the trends are decelerating slowly. The underlying drivers of inflation, according to her, are not present, with the exception of tariffs, which the Fed has generally acknowledged to be transitory in nature and able to pass through.

On the other hand, the labor market is still shrouded in a data fog, so the Fed cutting today makes sense to her, as there are signs depicting weakness in the job market, especially in the smaller firms. That weakness, according to Shue, is worth hedging against. She also expects the bull market to continue next year despite more tech volatility.
With these trends in view, let’s look at the best long-term penny stocks to invest in.
