6. New COVID variant making the rounds
7. real interest rates rising to highest in many, many years
8. Size of national debt interest payments requiring huge treasury increase in bond offerings
9. Student loan payments start up again after two+ years of suspension
10. Russian roulette by Putin with agriculture and energy and lives. .
lots of historically first time events which are very hard to predict the outcomes. .
makes market investing less certain of the outcome in the next 5 years for sure
good luck!
