Dear mooers,
We are coming to the end of a very unusual year full of uncertainty. Whether good or bad, we all witnessed the history.
Before you want to see what you can expect in 2022, let's have a little break and take a guess of the closing price of the S&P 500.
A happy ending or a tragedy? Go big or go home? Place your bet NOW!
Win Reward:
Place your bet on the closing price of the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ (i.e.4800.11) on Friday...

China is a huge market with enormous potential. They have very good and large companies that can rival US firms. Personally, I believe there are big growths and opportunities in Chinese stocks.
That said, I opine that for those who choose to start your journey of investment in Chinese stocks or choose to remain invested in them, you must be able to:
1) Be in for long term. Think 5 years, 8 years, 10 years etc. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
2) Accept the high volatility due to regulatory pressures.
3) Be mentally prepared for Murphy’s Law - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
4) More importantly, invest only what you can afford to lose.
If you can stick to the above, and weather the current storm, the potential flip side / upside would be high returns from these beaten-down cheap stocks - like a sleeping giant (bull) waiting to be awaken and unleashed.
Short term fluctuations do not change the long term positive outlook. Not financial advice though. DYDD and invest safely.

$E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures(SEP4) (NQmain.US)$ $E-mini S&P 500 Futures(SEP4) (ESmain.US)$  $E-mini Dow Futures(SEP4) (YMmain.US)$  $VIX Index Futures(SEP4) (VXmain.US)$ I think today's main theme is upward. Apple has reached a new high before the market, and generally speaking, it will reach a new high in the market. Personally, I think NASDAQ 100 futures will reach 16700

$AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ Cue the soundbites on crypto and marijuana legalization/easy rider viewing nights while puffing away. Ah … that’ll save the day. I trust Adam and the board have safely cashed in their lottery tickets? Sorry… stock options.
