Heartland Boy 2022 Investment Performance Review

The time has come for me to perform my annual stock investment portfolio review. Outside of STI, 2022 have been a tough year for most indices. At an annual gathering with like-minded investors, majority of them commented that 2022 was a whitewash for them.
