Happy New Year! I’m kicking off 2023 with my annual trip to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). I’ll be checking out the latest technology from thousands of companies at one of the largest conferences in the world. And for the first time in CES history, the metaverse will have a presence. One thing I’ll be keeping my eye on during the event: The latest electric vehicle (EV) products from major automakers. I’m not sold on EVs for a couple of reasons… but we’ll see if CES changes my mind. I’ll also be trying out the latest tech gadgets, playing games vs. robots, and more… So be sure to follow my trip on and . This is one of the most important CES events in the past decade. With the Nasdaq down more than 30% over the past year, tech companies can no longer get by on sensational growth stories… They need to focus on creating fantastic products, gaining market share, and actually turning a profit. The market is facing a lot of headwinds in 2023… especially as the economy goes into a recession. That’s why I keep pounding the table on my favorite strategy to not only protect yourself, but make a fortune, as stocks struggle.
