Perhaps the one thing that investors can rally around is this: 2022 is finally over. Here are three valuable lessons for investors in the aftermath of 2022. Before we entered a rising interest rate environment, high-flying tech stocks seemed to have limitless potential. "Many investors saw a high rate, high inflation year for the first time since the 1980s. And if we think about [2023] as well, it's still a high rate, high inflation environment."

The other was the riskiest of risk assets, whose moves mirrored those of tech stocks. It won't happen overnight, but investors more than ever want to see a crypto market driven by utility rather than speculation . Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish said his team believes "crypto assets are likely to continue to behave like high-beta risk assets going forward." Investing in the next two quarters Bitcoin has fallen more than 60% this year and sits roughly 75% off of its all-time high from November 2021.

☆ Here's why a bull market may have already started even though it doesn't feel like it, according to eToro's investment analyst
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

A new bull market may already be underway, according to eToro's US investment analyst. If the economy avoids a recession, then it's possible stocks have already bottomed out and will tick higher in 2023, Callie Cox told Insider. "Typically, new bulls don't actually feel like bulls, but it's costly if you miss the beginning of one." In eToro's year-ahead outlook, Callie Cox makes the case that even though it may not seem like stocks are on the upswing, it's rarely the case that bull markets resemble bull markets in the early stages. "A bull market starts at the lowest point of a bear and is confirmed when an index reaches a new 52-week high," Cox told Insider.

For influencers, receiving "gifted" items from brands can feel "excessive and gluttonous," one said. Many decline free products, or if they receive them, they don't always post about them. But some items, like furniture and luxury products, can make such a collaboration attractive. When the TikTok influencer Victoria Paris became famous on social media, she began to get so many free products from brands that she felt overwhelmed. Creators and other industry insiders said gifted partnerships that involve furniture — as well as a few other types of luxury items — could be mutually beneficial.

“I would lose most of my sales.”For much of the past two years, talk of an outright TikTok ban seemed to recede. But suddenly, the future of TikTok in the United States appears more uncertain than at any point since July 2020. Two years later, she said a TikTok ban would cause her to "lose most of my sales." The tremendous reach of TikTok may only make it harder to ban the service outright, some national security experts say. Hootie Hurley, 23, a Los Angeles-based full-time creator with more than 1.3 million followers on TikTok, told CNN that he now makes most of his income through his TikTok following.

Bitcoin rose 5% to $17,351.10, while ether advanced 9% to $1,281.04, according to Coin Metrics. Cryptocurrencies jumped right around the time CPI data was released, showing a smaller-than-expected rise and giving investors hope that price pressures may be cooling.

An unseasonal early surge of respiratory viruses among babies and toddlers has caught doctors off guard and worried about the coming months. "There is no one virus that's causing pediatric respiratory viruses this fall," said Dr. Deanna Behrens, a pediatric critical care physician at Advocate Children's Hospital in suburban Chicago. CDCWhile RSV is inundating many children's hospitals, the number of pediatric flu cases is also increasing. But the fact that kids are testing positive for multiple respiratory viruses at once can blur the signs of any one virus. In addition to RSV, Combs expects the number of pediatric flu illnesses to double in the coming weeks.

The month of October, celebrated as "Uptober" by long-time crypto investors, has historically churned out some big gains for bitcoin.

"Crypto market volatility has dipped to multi-year lows over the past month, with bitcoin's 20-day volatility now equal to that of the Nasdaq equity index," Kaiko head of research Clara Medalie told CNBC.

In any other year, the bitcoin price would have skyrocketed after the BlackRock announcement, but it didn't. Bitcoin hit its all-time high on Nov. 8, less than a week after the Fed first introduced the tapering . "Bitcoin OGs want to believe that it's a risk-off asset – that's a long-term trajectory," said Burak Tamac, senior researcher at CryptoQuant. It's bitcoin that's received so much hostility about being environmentally unfriendly, but myths about the cryptocurrency's environmental impact are slowly being debunked . Beyond bitcoin, crypto remains just a little too out of reach for many.

☆ The 50 best breakup songs of the 21st century, ranked

"Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake"Cry Me a River" was released in 2002. Justin Timberlake/YouTubeWhen Greta Gerwig wrote Justin Timberlake a letter to ask if she could use "Cry Me a River" in her directorial debut "Lady Bird," she aptly described the track as "sultry and sullen and infectious — what 'Gimme Shelter' must have felt like to the kids of the late '60s." Gerwig was 19 when "Cry Me a River" was released, just a few years younger than Timberlake was when the song was written — or, more accurately, when it came spilling out after a heated phone call with his then-girlfriend. While that hardly sounds like a winning formula, "Cry Me a River" succeeds precisely because it's not bound by common laws of etiquette and chill. If most breakup songs are like sitcom episodes, "Cry Me a River" is the vengeance plot on a soap opera.
