Dear Readers,

After bottoming out in historic fashion this past spring, the US economy has nowhere to go but up ... Right?

Not so fast. As COVID-19 infection rates have surged globally, Wall Street's biggest institutions are walking back their economic-growth forecasts for the near term.

In fact, JPMorgan recently went as far as to become the first A-list firm to forecast negative US GDP in the first quarter of 2021. And while Goldman Sachs doesn't yet see a full-fledged contraction unfolding, it also trimmed its expectations for the next two quarters.

But if the economists on Wall Street are getting cold feet, it's safe to say investment strategists are looking through the near-term noise and expecting a strong cyclical recovery through full-year 2021. And that expectation is informing loads of new recommendations as market internals twist and turn.

Morgan Stanley's investment chief is imploring traders to start betting on a roaring economy right now. In an exclusive interview with Business Insider, Mike Wilson gave us 5 parts of the stock market to buy, and detailed why this bull market will be different from the last few.

Goldman Sachs has observed the ongoing rotation into discounted value stocks and determined that companies offering strong cash-flow growth will win in 2021. To that end, it's identified 14 picks set to surge along with the economy.

And Deutsche Bank has been busy figuring out how Europe-focused investors can get in on the action. The firm is bullish on what COVID-19 vaccine progress will mean for the economy, and sees these 6 companies in particular offering huge upside.

Rob Arnott

Since news of Tesla's December inclusion into the S&P 500 index came out on Monday, the electric-car maker's stock has surged. The company's mega-entrance shows how index fund managers tend to "buy high and sell low," which is the focal point of a 2018 research paper by investing pioneer Rob Arnott.

In an interview, Arnott explains now new index additions have historically traded, and offers a "near risk-free" arbitrage strategy that investors can take advantage of with a small part of their portfolios.
