$Apple(AAPL.US)$  stock closed up 3.1% on Tuesday as other stocks tumbled on concerns of the new omicron Covid variant, showing investors see the company as a safe haven during market uncertainty.
The $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$dropped 651 points, the tech-heavy $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$fell 1.6% and the $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ was down about 1.9% on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the Fed will discuss speeding up the bond-buying taper during its December meeting.
Since the company has prodigious cash flow, allowing it to endure any slowdowns in the economy and take advantage of falling prices.
But there's no perfect company. The biggest criticism of Apple for the last five years is no new products. It's stock price has stuck in the same place for a while when others are going up. Maybe the crisis is the turning point for Apple.
Do you have faith in the company?

$Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ Wasn't expecting this sudden pull down at all but seriously, this offers a superb opportunity to buy at a great discount rate. I bought some more at $48! Hahaha! I encourage you to do so too. It's too great a deal to miss out on... If you decide to wait for further fall, just hope you don't end up regretting your decision. Happy black Friday!

Successful traders are those with successful trading habits. Luck can only carry one so far. One of the key successful habits is to form a trading plan. As Benjamin Franklin rightly said, if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.
Here’s how to form a trading plan and execute it successfully.
1) Financial Analysis
Identify potential stocks $Apple(AAPL.US)$  $Meta Platforms(FB.US)$  $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$  $Alphabet-C(GOOG.US)$  $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US)$  $Netflix(NFLX.US)$  $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$  $Tesla(TSLA.US)$  $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$  $Pfizer(PFE.US)$  $Moderna(MRNA.US)$  $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$  $Novavax(NVAX.US)$  $Medtecs Intl(546.SG)$  $Altimeter Growth Corp(AGC.US)$ by analysing the company’s financial statements and dividend track record. This is where financial ratios like gross profit margin, net profit margin, return on equity, current ratio, debt to cash flow ratio, net gearing ratio and dividend yield come in handy. Also pay attention to the current news that can impact the company.
2) Technical Analysis and 2% Rule
Study the charts. Use technical indicators to spot the trend. Identify the entry price, the price target for taking profit and the price to stop loss using support and resistance. Determine the risk-to-reward ratio (RR) and the probability of success (also called the percentage of winning trades). The potential reward should be at least three times the potential risk. Don’t give in to the fear of missing out (FOMO). In the words of Warren Buffett, “the stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.” The risk of losing money can be minimised by applying the 2% rule (each trade should not be more than 2% of the capital set aside for investment).
3) Control emotions and follow the plan consistently
This is probably the part where most traders fail. It is as tempting to hold on to winning stocks as it is difficult to let go of losing sticks but giving in to emotional impulses defeats the purpose of having a plan in the first place. Stick to the plan.
4) Positive Reinforcement
We become what we repeatedly do. Foster good trading habits by rewarding ourselves whenever we follow the plan consistently. This has nothing to do with the amount of profit or loss made in the trade. For instance, exiting a trade before the loss deepens to painful levels is a trading behaviour that should be rewarded despite not making a profit.
5) Review and Refine
Evaluate the trading plan for its effectiveness and finetune it to suit one’s risk appetite, financial needs, investment period and new developments in the market. There is no best trading plan, only what is suitable.
With practice and perseverance, we can all become successful traders!

$Vanguard Materials ETF(VAW.US)$/ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ pair has seen vaw underperform with periods of outperformance ... two of the more signficant periods were may 2004 to june 2008 and march 2020 april 2021 of which its have given most of it back currently trading near 2 sigma cheap on a 17 year horizon which is odd given the fact that inflation has been a front page problem for a few months... I personally am always suspect of "thematic" investing

$S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$companies reported 53% YoY earnings growth for Q1 and set to post a 93.8% surge for Q2.
