Goodbye 2021; this past year was a whirlwind of low expectations. The beginning wasn’t looking so hot and we predicted that the S&P 500 was going to close at a rough 9 percent return. But we got spoiled and saw it close at around 27 percent gains. Now that things are looking good, what’s to come in 2022? This week, Derek “Diamond Hands D” Gabrielsen and Luke “Cool Hand Luke” Lloyd are joined by Tony “Tony the Tiger” Zabiegala to talk about being more realistic in 2022. This new year needs to be the one where fundamentals start to matter in the market again. We don’t have a crystal ball but we do have supporting trends, data and historical patterns that we can use to predict 2022’s outcome. In Episode #107 of “The Capitalist Investor,” Derek, Luke and Tony take a walk through 2021’s performance and rifle through different investing alternatives: real estate, crypto, NFTs and gold to predict how each area will perform in the year ahead of us.
