Michael M. Santiago/GettyDon't expect the market to continue skyrocketing in 2025, according to David Laut.Periods of high consumer sentiment have often been followed by market pullbacks historically.Prepare for pullbacks by keeping your cash in a short-term bond fund, Laut said.As the year draws to a close, investors typically anticipate the so-called Santa Claus rally — a phenomenon where stocks get a boost in the final days of December and the beginning of January.However, the year-end rally has been lackluster, with stocks drifting lower in the days after Christmas.
