  Thursday afternoon December 8, 2022 Hello everyone What’s your preference? Buy and hold or be an active trader? Some people may have answered both. It seems 2023 will not be a time to buy and hold. Expect markets to be choppy. Wells Fargo expects the S&P to end 2023 at 4,200. It also says

  Sunday December 4, 2022 Hello everyone We’re heading into the Christmas season.  Everything starts to wind down in the markets.
