I kick things off with some observations from my shopping trip over the weekend. The first has to do with the empty shelves at nearly every store… and the second involves the growing number of homeless people asking for money around Jacksonville. Are you seeing the same issues in your area? (.) Turning to the market, I dig into the latest results from two Wall Street banks… and why the entire banking sector is in for a rude awakening in 2023.  Crypto is surging to start the year, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising more than 25% over the past few weeks. I break down who’s behind the rally (hint: it’s not retail investors)... and why this “flight to quality” is great for the crypto industry.  While it’s great to see stocks start the year with a rally, there are major risks ahead in 2023. And our Moneyflow Trader service will teach you the best strategy for protecting your portfolio AND making a fortune as the global economy enters a recession.
