Asia stocks set for mixed open in countdown to Fed
Asian stocks are set for a mixed start Wednesday after the latest inflation data added to the case for tighter Federal Reserve policy, weighing on U.S. shares. The dollar rose with Treasury yields.
Australian shares slipped, futures for Japan fell and Hong Kong contracts were little changed. $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ and $NASDAQ 100 Index(.NDX.US)$ futures wavered.

JPMorgan says it's OK if you're still in love with risky stocks
Investors should reconsider their affection for the safety of technology megacaps and start seeking out risky assets like beaten-down high-growth stocks and Chinese shares.
So says Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, $JPMorgan(JPM.US)$'s global head of equity research. "In the first half next year, assuming inflation shows signs of normalization, assuming the Fed ends up being more balanced and doesn't continue to move forward with tightening, which I believe the market is pricing in, and assuming the Covid situation starts to come back under control, I think you'll see a rotation from lower-beta megacaps into higher-beta."

$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$ $Roku Inc(ROKU.US)$ $Tesla(TSLA.US)$
Casey Wood said that due to expectations that the Federal Reserve will tighten policy, its growth-focused funds are no longer favored, and the company is "self-reflection."
It is understood that the $17.8 billion ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK.US) has fallen by more than 20% this year. Its investment portfolio includes electric car giant Tesla (TSLA.US) and video streaming platform Roku (ROKU). .US) and others have fallen from recent highs. During the same period, the S&P 500 Index rose about 24%.
Wood said in an interview: "I have never experienced a rising market, or an appreciation market, and our strategy is falling. This has never happened before."
"When we go through such a period, of course we will conduct self-reflection and ask ourselves,'Did we miss something?'" In addition, she added that in response, the company has increased its research and modeling efforts.
Article excerpted from the US Stock Research Agency

This year's inflows into ETFs worldwide crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time at the end of November, surpassing last year's total of $735.7 billion, according to Morningstar data. That wave of money, along with rising markets, pushed global ETF assets to nearly $9.5 trillion, more than double where the industry stood at the end of 2018.
Most of that money has gone into low-cost U.S. funds that track indexes run by Vanguard Group, $Blackrock(BLK.US)$ and $State Street(STT.US)$ which together control more than three-quarters of all U.S. ETF assets.
Technically they're not the same concept, but the $1 trillion landmarks still remind me of $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ hitting a $1 trillion market cap on Oct.25. It showed how influential the company is. 
Are you part of the one trillion? Would you tell me about the reason that you buy or not buy ETF?
