Where to invest in 2023 after market challenges in 2022
University of San Diego finance professor Dan Roccato joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss how to build your investment portfolio in the new year.
Wall Street just wrapped up its worst year since 2008.
Major indexes in 2022 experienced intense declines as the Nasdaq dropped more than 30% and the S&P 500 was down almost 20%.
With the markets looking grim, investors might be feeling iffy about where to put their money in the New Year of 2023.
