It's done ... 2022

The BOTTOM LINE: I try to keep it simple and short!

If you've had a bad year, you're not going to make it up in the final two trading days of 2022 with the market struggling. Learn from your mistakes and prepare for the next sustained market rally in 2023. <IBD>

There's nothing wrong with taking no new positions, or even being entirely in cash.

Be prepared … just today’s trading day remains in 2022.

With so much uncertainty about the new year, a cautious outlook seems prudent.

Short and near-term trends and investing norms are shifting. Investors must watch carefully for sector changes and try to make smart stock picks.
