On Nov 5, Pfizer introduced a new COVID-19 antiviral pill that is expected to treat 89% of acutely hospitalized patients and thus reduce the risk of death. @HuatEveranticipated that Pfizer's share price would continue to climb once the FDA approved the new antiviral pill. What do you think?

SIX: How do you decide when to buy/sell?
@HopeAlwayssaid that there is no best way to determine when to buy and when to sell the stocks of indexes. The timings depend on investing goals, philosophies, and personal preferences.
"The three main risks are company, valuation and earnings risks. Once we are able to find a stock that that signals low risk based on these three conditions, it is time to buy. Whenever a negative change happens to any of the three conditions,  it is time to sell."

SEVEN: How do you know when to stop loss / take profit?
@Powerhousehas three underlying principles in stopping losses and taking profits. All investors should stay informed and closely observe trends to set price targets.
"For micro, there is a need to determine your present financial risk appetite figuratively. On the macro level, situations may have changed. Determining when is the most precise time to stop loss or take profit of a stock and milk the most out of it is extremely difficult."

$Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ When the Fed begins its long-awaited bond-tapering program as it seeks to tame red-hot inflation, the clock starts ticking on when the U.S. might see another recession.
Or so says strategists at Deutsche Bank.
The investment bank predicts the Federal Reserve will accelerate the purchase of its bond purchases in 2022 (and then quickly), opening the door for the first interest rate hike of this economic cycle as early as March.
With that first hike and the end of the tapering program — and ensuing tighter lending conditions — the strategists think the economy will begin cooling down beyond 2024. Then, recession risk will creep into the economic picture for the first time since early on in the pandemic.
"The median and average time to the next recession is 37 and 42 months after the first hike. So that takes us to July 2025 and December 2025 respectively. The earliest gap over 13 cycles is 11 months and that would take us to May 2023," explains Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid.

$Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ Stock futures were up on Monday following declines during the earlier trading session for all three major U.S. indexes as investors set their sights on a prolific week in Washington that includes the Federal Reserve's final policy-setting meeting of 2021 and the release of new prints on retail sales, housing starts and other economic data.
Contracts on the S&P 500 edged higher, turning positive after the blue-chip index retreated from a rally last week that helped the index post its sharpest gains since February. Research from Goldman Sachs showed the S&P 500 is powered by five stocks that have accounted for 51% of its return since the end of April. Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nvidia and Tesla account for more than one-third of the S&P 500's 26% return this year, according to Goldman.
Futures for the Dow and Nasdaq were also up.
Traders are awaiting a decision from the Fed on how quickly the central bank will tighten monetary policy amid a backdrop of fresh inflation numbers that reflected the fastest annual increase in nearly four decades. The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index (CPI) soared 6.8% in November compared to last year, according to figures published last week.

$AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$ I don't see how the Government would let this drag on months into next year. Because every month that passes is less money they get back in taxes. And I don't see them not having to use some sort of tax money to help cover the bill to buy back and sort all these shares. It's too many eyes watching from across the world for them to get out of this without paying. If it doesn't happen in my lifetime ! Then I guess my son and nephew will be millionaires. Because I AIN'T FUCKIN SELLING. JUST GIVE UP.

Dont forget $AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$ will add 25million shares at the end of the year. They have been saying this since July. It is for the employee bonus packages. They give out shares for Christmas bonuses. Albeit it used to be like 5000 shares. Now its 50,000. This will cause dilution tho. Meme stock rally will start January 18th. $Bed Bath & Beyond Inc(BBBY.US)$  $BlackBerry(BB.US)$  $SNDL Inc(SNDL.US)$  $Tilray Brands(TLRY.US)$  $Zomedica(ZOM.US)$

$Energy Focus(EFOI.US)$ In at 4.86. See if it can make 7.00 in pm.
