7investing Team Podcast: Our Reckless Predictions for 2022

<p>We’re only four weeks in, and 2022 is already proving to be an eventful year.</p> <p>Between the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq’s recent corrections, concerns about a war between Russia and Ukraine, and the Fed’s promises of an upcoming rate hike, the new year has brought more than a few interesting financial media headlines.</p> <p>While the upcoming Year of the Tiger is still a young cub, we figured now was the time to make a few reckless predictions. Our 7investing advisors gathered together to have some fun, and we came up with five “hey it could happen” prognostications that could have significant impacts for investors in 2022.</p> <p><a href="https://7investing.com/advisor/steve-symington/">Steve Symington</a> believes a small &amp; mid cap rally is inevitable, while <a href="https://7investing.com/advisor/maxx-chatsko/">Maxx Chatsko </a>believes CRISPR and gene editing are prone to come back down to earth. <a href="https://7investing.com/advisor/anirban-mahanti/">Anirban Mahanti</a> thinks <strong>Peloton</strong> (Nasdaq: PTON) might soon be acquired, and <a href="https://7investing.com/advisor/dana-abramovitz/">Dana Abramovitz</a> believes Facebook/Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: FB) is destined to enter health care. And 7investing founder and CEO <a href="https://7investing.com/advisor/simon-erickson/">Simon Erickson</a> believes this is the year that the US will finally put a ban on Payments for Order Flow.</p> <p>While we’re not guaranteeing a 1.000 success rate (these are “reckless”, after all!), we do enjoy thinking out loud about what innovation in the markets could mean for stock investors. If you’d like to join the fun and discuss any of our predictions in greater detail, please bring your thoughts to our newly-launched <a href="https://discord.gg/6YvazDf9sw">7investing Community Forum</a>.</p> <p><em>Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Crispr Therapeutics, Meta Platforms, Peloton, and Robinhood. 7investing’s advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.</
