The market was disappointing to say the least in the 2022 calendar year. For the first time in the history of Investment Mob, we took a loss on our yearly stock picks. 2023 hopes to show some optimism in the markets even though the FED remains steadfast on raising interest rates and a looming recession seems emanate. Tom and team comes into the New Year focused and ready for some more swings in the market which can result in Investment Mob coming back to the black. Here at Investment Mob we hope 2023 finds you well and give you the gift of Tom’s 23 Stocks under $23 dollars for the year 2023.
