Investors have had a great time for most of 2017, as major market indexes broke records on multiple occasions and are on course to create new annual records.

On the flip side, the market witnessed occasional losses. Geopolitical concerns, particularly those related to North Korea, hurt the market on several occasions. Also, there was much speculation about the likelihood of tax cuts receiving legislative approval before they were finally signed into law last week.  

With expectations that the Trump administration will continue to back the market, aiding it to reach many more milestones, stocks that failed to stand out in 2017 have a chance to outperform in 2018.
