Only a portion of the yield curve inverted, and based on recent history, its predictive ability for the US economy is not what it used to be.

IMO, The important indicator to keep an eye on is earnings growth, which in the most recent quarter was (from what I recall) sales growth +8% and EPS growth +25%.

One headwind to keep lookout for next year will be tough comparison because of the tax cuts.

Also, like others have mentioned, doomsayers are a dime a dozen. Personally, I like to see what people with skin in the game have to say/are doing to their portfolio allocations.
