NO, we aren't going to publish a "Best of 2022" List! Why...
Why?...because it's over and it doesn't matter what happened last year. Our focus is on what's working now and how we can make money now!
This is the first and what will be our Weekend update. Hope it is helpful.
So what's the current state of the markets and what's working now. (FYI, we are in the US, so although we look at the global markets through vehicles like ETFs that we can invest in for overseas exposure, we focus on the US markets). We are not financial advisors and these are not buy recommendations! These all simply a subset of the list of tickers we follow, which in our opinion should be on your watchlist to track for potential buys as they set up,
