Where to invest in 2023?

Forecasting is a very difficult business, like selecting lottery tickets. No one could have predicted 2022 as a year in which there was geopolitical war, worldwide inflation, a massive hike in interest rates worldwide, and the US S&P 500 down about 20%, and yet, the Indian markets ended up 4%. If anyone got this spot on, they could still be terribly wrong for 2023. That's why we don't predict, we react. So, what's going to happen in 2023? We can almost hear this question, despite all the data that says prediction is a waste of time. But then, much about the markets is an entertainment business, which means it's great to see people make crazy zany predictions, and maybe some of them will win. So we'll participate mildly in what should purely be entertainment, even if at some point it appears to have deep investing insights.
