It’s a big year for my family as we’re preparing for each of our three kids to move on to new schools this Fall. It has been interesting to watch as each of them has had a decision to make regarding their school of choice. It wasn’t simple—for them or us.

2022 was a unique year, but they ALL are “unique” years in some way, right? What can we learn from this, and what are the important takeaways to make us better investors?

Last year, however, investors did experience something that happened for the first time in history.”
