2022 rewind: Amusing musing

We are in the final week of 2022. Saying that it went in a flash would be an understatement because it feels like 2021 was just a week ago. To be honest, we are still processing 2019 but that's a separate story. This is also the year we started meme stories which have been a mega-blockbuster (we do not have any evidence to back this claim but believe us). We usually collect and post memes about the latest trends and events in the market and that's what has been happening every week. But since this is the year-end, we thought of doing something different. So we are recapping the year in memes. Here are 10 memes that kinda summarise 2022.

This is the start of all. This started the fall and all other factors fell into place like dominoes.

This pretty much sums up the results of almost all manufacturing companies in 2022. It was so bad that some even posted losses this year.

Can we all declare that 2021 and 2022 were the years of PSU companies? These two years have made up for all the frustration that investors went through for several years.

Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, these new age startups looked at us and asked, "Are you challenging us?"

Cryptos were already falling. Bitcoin reached several year lows and many coins even went poof! But FTX? It just destroyed the entire crypto world. This is the Lehman of crypto.

M&As, M&As everywhere. We could not put all the mergers and acquisitions in the meme because we did not have space. See, that's how many deals were made this year.

Never bet against the house in the casino and never bet against Adani companies in the market - this line should be etched in the walls of history.

What even happened with Twitter this year? First, he wanted to buy and the Twitter board refused. Then Elon himself refused but the Twitter board forced the move ultimately. Sounds like a joke! Did Musk stop his antics after the deal? Oh no. Laid off many employees, a slew of changes and was also one of the reason for the fall in price of Eli Lilly's stock.

This year was definitely bad for IT investors. This fall did not discriminate between small or large companies, as all of them got punched in the face.

After treating us like kings for two years, central banks decided to pull the plug ultimately. The UK? Rate hike. The US? Rate hike. India? Rate hike. At this point, even fictional universes like Middle Earth will have rate hikes.
