$DBS Group Holdings(D05.SG)$
DBS Group needs no introduction, being Singapore’s largest bank by market capitalisation.
The S$86.5 billion financial institution reported a sparkling set of earnings for 2022, with its net profit touching a new record high of S$8.2 billion.
In tandem with the strong numbers, the lender has upped its quarterly dividend from S$0.36 to S$0.42 and also announced a special dividend of S$0.50.
The total divid...

Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure package allocated $7.5 billion for EV chargers, but Wall Street had assigned greater significance to the Build Back Better incentives which are now unlikely to pass. Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin effectively doomed the bill Sunday, saying he wouldn’t vote in favor in the 50-50 Senate.
Shares of electric vehicle companies soon tumbled on Monday.
The stocks of EV start-ups such as  $Lordstown Motors(RIDE.US)$ ,  $Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.(FFIE.US)$  and  $Nikola(NKLA.US)$  all shed more than 7% Monday.  $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$ , hit a new low Monday of $88.40 a share.
Shares of other automakers such as  $Tesla(TSLA.US)$  and  $General Motors(GM.US)$  – both of which no longer qualify for federal EV tax credits but would have under Build Back Better – also lost ground during the trading session.
The EV incentives under the Build Back Better plan include up to $12,500 per vehicle and are viewed as critical to spur consumer demand in EVs, which are priced far higher than their traditional internal combustion engine counterparts.

$Visa(V.US)$ Visa seeks to establish itself in Europe's fast-growing open banking market. Open banking lets financial companies access customers and their data at competing institutions, if the customers consent.
Banks and consumer-facing financial startups use services of Tinks (a Swedish fintech startup) to create apps and other tools that let customers manage accounts at different institutions in one place.
Visa recently also added crypto lender Cred, which is using Visa's network to send interest payments to users' bank accounts.

2021 is another year of violent volatility in the stocks markets globally just like 2020. All of us should therefore brace ourselves for a lot more in 2022 if this trend persists. China-theme Stocks are still relatively weak but I expect them to perform better in 2022 alongside US Stocks I wanted to provide some helpful technical charts, but the best chart by far(at least to me) is a chart of psychology, persuasion and perspective combined into one here:
Happy New Year 2022!

So, you tell me what is the right way?!

2021 is a year of volatility. It has witnessed the rise of meme stocks, starting with $GameStop(GME.US)$ and WallStreeBets early in January and up to the moon $AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$ in June. After the 2020 pandemic, S&P 500 rallied 100% within 354 trading days*. In times of chip shortage, investors are also watching the tech stocks closely. Not to mention dramas like what caused by Elon Musk and Donald Trump on $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ and $Digital World Acquisition Corp(DWAC.US)$ . What a year!

The frequent interactions between the enthusiastic mooers have positively impacted the community. Mooers are moving in the same direction: making profits and improving themselves. It would take a long time and great effort for our dear mooers to achieve these goals. Why don't we take a look at ten of the year's valuable market insights and investing tips?
Spoiler: There's a chance to get points if you read till the end.
*The selected articles are listed randomly.
ONE: Is investing in Trump's new merger a good idea?
@HuatLadywrote about his concerns on the merger of Trump's company and a SPAC called the Digital World Acquisition Corp. We have to admit that he has a point!
"Forgive me for predicting that most likely his company's stock will not be viable for long term investment goal."
View more: Will Donald be able to deal his Trump Card?
TWO: What do you think of meme stocks?
@Machiavellis3rdEyeused vivid language to call for rational investing and remind mooers to watch out for media manipulations. Do you agree with him?
"You ARE ALL MY ALLIES, regardless of your investment choices, politics, religions, colors, sex, or anything else! I say we start learning and adapting to their constantly evolving illegal games (media manipulation, PFOF, CB's) together. Then we will all figure out how to take that cheese - without getting TRAPPED."

THREE: What can we learn from the big picture?
@WYCKOFFPROanalyzed the trend of the Russell 2020 with technical tools. Has the market proved his assumptions?
"The breakout of the Russell 2000 gives the first confirmation of the scenario of possible rotation from big cap stocks to small cap stocks."

FOUR: Will the strong momentum of recovery stocks fade?
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?
"They hold the promise of cutting down the risk of severe Covid 19 ailments, hospitalisation stays and even deaths, and if being taken at the early onsets of infection. "

FIVE: EV stocks skyrocketing: Good buy or goodbye?
@Deviltonconducted an in-depth analysis on one of the most popular stocks, $Rivian, and pointed out that patience is a virtue in trading.
"Human are always impatient, we will always have FOMO if we sit and wait till Friday, scared that it stops falling and starts to rise again. Yet buying all tomo may not allow you to buy at the best price." View more here.
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."
View more: Buying and Selling Stocks
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."

EIGHT: What urges you to press the "trade" button?
@Panda2102has done macro research to sort out a list of companies and ranks them from different dimensions.
"The mission statement, the moat, the network effect, the switching cost, low cost advantage, optionality, the ratio for PE, PEG, Cash, Debt, Free Cash flow and the ownership of the company."

NINE: How to build a portfolio with a windfall of $1 million?
@Mars Mooothinks that the Squid Game Multi-Portfolio comprises four parts: player 456, player 218, player 067, and a liquid one.
"The first portfolio is aimed at potential sectors for diversification and profits. The second is designed to high risk lead high returns. The next one intent on helping on thr way. While the last one shows that cash is king."

TEN: How to profit from short-selling?
@Mcsnacks H Tupackshared that short-selling is highly popular on Wall Street and often carried out by aggressive hedge funds.
"Hedge funds acting through collaborating market makers can create huge numbers of counterfeit shares that can overwhelm buying demand. They have turned it into a casino and everyone knows the house always wins in that scenario."
