Putting The 2022 Stock Market Decline In Perspective
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Jonathan Dash is founder of Dash Investments . As CIO, he is responsible for the firm’s Investment Management and Asset Allocation decisions.

But even for someone who started investing just three years ago, their average annual return at the end of 2022 would have been 8.22% .

Uranus—on its slow 88 Earth-years orbit of the Sun—doesn’t appear to move much in our night sky, but nor is it anyone near as bright and easy to see as dazzling Venus.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Disney has eliminated its entire metaverse division of roughly 50 people, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal .
