Warren Buffett is outperforming Cathie Wood’s ARK innovation fund by over 60% over the last 5 years after trailing her by over 200% last year.

Slow and steady wins the race. What do you think?

With tech stocks souring and Tesla shares tumbling, Elon Musk’s $44bn Twitter takeover offer in April looked more-regrettable with each month that passed, with Musk recently dethroned as the world’s richest person.

Eventually, the 6-month+ will-they-won’t-they saga concluded, and Musk completed his acquisition in October. It is, of course, hard to say exactly what will happen with Musk as Chief Twit, but with sharp staffing cuts, an advertiser exodus, and a subscription-focused revamp of the verification system, it’s clear that a shifting business model is afoot.

Beyond Twitter, it’s been a busy year across social media — the fickle industry we all love to hate —

where platforms come and go at breakneck speed.

Mark Zuckerberg has been betting big on his Metaverse ambitions... and finding it hard going. Meta has shed some ~$800bn in value since its market cap. peak — suggesting many aren’t quite as invested in Mark's new online world.

Meanwhile, TikTok’s been doing, well, what TikTok does — getting bigger and bigger. Even as regulation threatens to slow the Chinese-owned platform’s meteoric rise, TikTok has been hitting huge revenue milestones at unparalleled pace this year. In a completely unrelated set of events, every other social platform has decided that short-form vertical video is a really cool idea.

It’s also been a big year for socials looking to take things back to basics, like BeReal. The app invites users to shun the carefully-crafted style that other platforms encourage, which proved to be a huge hit this year. Donald Trump's TRUTH Social also launched to much fanfare, though the platform is yet to breakout beyond the ex-president's core fanbase.

As alluded to above, 2022 was a tough year for the stock market. As of Dec 15th, the S&P 500 Index was down 17% this year — with 338 of its ~500 members losing ground. The exceptions, of course, were energy companies — many of which raked in record profits during the year.

The tech and media sectors in particular had something of a reckoning. PayPal and Tesla lost more than 50% in value, while countless others — including Amazon, Alphabet and Disney — shed more than a third of their value.

As public market malaise fed through to private markets, VCs became cautious, despite a record amount of dry powder sitting on the sidelines. As startups struggled with funding, finances were squeezed — bringing the end of the hiring spree for big tech and more substantial layoffs at startups.

As energy inflation was exported around the world, central bankers eventually pulled the major lever at their disposal, with the word "transitory" leaving speeches almost as quickly as it arrived. In the US, the Federal Reserve acted at an almost unprecedented pace, hiking rates to signal their strong resolve to get double-digit inflation under control.

The impact of the hikes is hard to overstate, rippling throughout almost every aspect of the economy. From strengthening the US dollar, fueling some of the sharpest mortgage rate rises for 35 years, and of course humbling the stock market — where investors had been riding a 21-month bull market — rate hikes likely had more of an impact on your wallet than almost anything else this year.

The good news is that, with inflation showing signs of cooling, 2023 may see less-aggressive central bank moves around the world.

Even before the final chapters of 2021 had been written, one of the main topics for 2022 — inflation — was already emerging. As the impact of pandemic stimulus checks set in, supply-chain bottlenecks emerged and the geopolitical landscape looked increasingly uncertain, prices across nearly every industry hit record levels.

By January, gas was topping inflation tables, with prices at the pump up nearly 50% year-on-year. And then came the news that Russia, after months of posturing, had invaded Ukraine.

Sanctions where it hurts

Russia’s offensive shook the world as Putin’s campaign brought death and destruction to Ukraine — leading millions to flee the country and seek refuge westward in neighboring European countries.

Political retribution toward Russia was calculated, but arguably slow. Negotiations were long, but everyone knew, given Russia’s place as the third largest supplier of oil globally, that sanctions targeting Russian fossil fuel exports would hurt its economy most.

The issue was, and still is, Europe’s heavy reliance on Russian gas and oil, which accounts for over 40% of the European Union’s gas imports, and more than a quarter of petroleum imports. In the end, it took until December 5th for the 27 nations of the EU and the G7 to implement a $60-a-barrel price cap for Russian oil.

As oil prices spiked, and the cost to fill a car hit a new record nearly every week, Biden decided to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to alleviate some of the pain, bringing the reserve down to its lowest point since 1984.

We talk about dividends all the time around here, but just how powerful are they? This chart says it all!
•
•
This chart shows the inflation-adjusted returns of $10,000 in the S&P 500 over the last years and it proves that when dividends are reinvested, your returns are supercharged.
•
•
If you didn’t reinvest dividends you would have $92,677 today. But if you had reinvested those dividends, you’d have $164,176. That’s a huge difference.
•
•
Fun fact, reinvested dividends make up 70% of the total returns of the S&P 500 over the last 50 years 🤯
•
•
*Note - we calculated these numbers using Robert Shiller’s S&P 500 and CPI historical data and backtested each strategy.

We know it may seem scary right now so we felt it was necessary to share this chart. It’s the stock market over the past 150 years.
•
•
Regardless of how big or small the sell-off, the market has always recovered. And though there will be some pain short term, long term investors shouldn’t worry.
•
•
We also wanted to share this because we’ve received some troubling DMs the past few days. “Markets crashing, what should I do?”, “Should I sell everything?” and “I’m scared I’m going to lose all my money!”
•
•
We preach dollar cost averaging, patience and investing for the long term around here. Bear markets are a normal occurrence and if you want to build wealth, you need to be able to control your emotions and stick to your long term plan.
•
•
So take a breath, look at the chart and continue to DCA. Your future self will thank you!
