Earnings Season is underway in earnest; what companies say is more important than the numbers they report; The WEF: It's really all about keeping the Rich rich; offsetting effects of private jet travel by buying carbon credits, the scam of the century.

The Contrarian Trade: Everyone is bearish; Twitter poll: 75% say markets will be as is in 2023...or lower. Bob Farrell's Ten Investment Rules, #9: When all the experts and forecasts agree, something else is going to happen. When Mattress Mac makes a bet.
