Despite his generally bullish outlook, Tom Lee expresses concern about consumer confidence. He points to a divergence between survey data showing high inflation expectations and the relatively tame actual inflation rate. A widening of this disconnect, leading consumers to retrench spending, could trigger a recession.

Tom Lee believes the "Magnificent Seven" will lead the market higher because these stocks were the first to fall significantly and have experienced a "washout" of over-ownership. He uses Tesla as a case study, suggesting that these stocks are primed for a comeback. He reasons that if these stocks reclaim their previous highs, the S&P 500 will follow suit, potentially even exceeding previous highs before the year's end.
