  1. That cut from T definitely stung, but that’s why I don’t invest in just a handful of companies. Best to keep things diversified and moving along even if some of the companies hit a speedbump. It’s great to see everyone continuing to make progress and pushing forward. I’d bet we see at least a $900 average come February 2023.
