Hello Mooers, welcome back!
In today discussion, we will be talking about the changes that we can make to our 2022 investing plan.
In year 2022, we will be expecting more volatility in the stock market. However, this is consider a good news, because, this means higher potential to reap bigger rewards, as volatility increase.
As you can see, right now, there are lots of chaos happening , such as the rising inflation, Ukranine crisis, global supply chain disruption and many others. However, there are three groups, who continue to push on, and they are:
Group 1: Gold & Oil group
This group is buying more oil-related stocks and gold-related stocks, as they believe that oil and gold can protect their portfolio in year 2022.
Group 2: Meme group
This group continue to buy more meme stocks, such as $BlackBerry (BB.US)$ , $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ , $Nokia Oyj (NOK.US)$ , $GameStop (GME.US)$ and $SNDL Inc (SNDL.US)$ , as they believe that meme stocks will continue to be unstoppable in year 2022.
Group 3: The DCA-to-Tech group
This group will continue to DCA (dollar cost averaging) to their favourite tech stocks such as $Apple (AAPL.US)$ , $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ , $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ as they believe that these stocks will reverse their fall and go to the moon by the end of year 2022.
Lastly, a quick recap of the top active stocks and stocks options for 16 Feb 2022.

2021 is a year of recovery.  In Jan 2021, the world is promised with an effective vaccine for Covid and the reopening of economy. Fast forward to Dec 2021, we have battled the Delta variant and now battling the Omicron.  
With the Covid as backdrop, the world has been kept busy.  Some of the key events in the market include:
* Reddit trying to take on Wall Street.  This marks the beginning of meme stocks in a big way. $GameStop (GME.US)$  $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ 
* China and her common prosperity policies which have impacted the Chinese listed companies, especially Chinese Tech. $BABA-W (09988.HK)$  $TENCENT (00700.HK)$ 
* $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$  hit all time high of ~$67K and the growing popularity of NFT.
* $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$  changed its name to Meta and the entire metaverse ecosystem.
* The sell off of growth stock in Dec (probably still ongoing now).  We have seen some of the growth stocks came down more than 50% from its all time high. $Sea (SE.US)$  $Zoom Video Communications (ZM.US)$ 
At a personal level, 2021 has been a year of learning.  I shifted my focus from Singapore dividend stocks such as $DBS Group Holdings (D05.SG)$  to US growth stocks.  The learning curve is steep but satisfying.  My take away from my investing journey this year:
1. Build strong conviction
Conviction is build after you have done your research. Having a strong conviction about the companies you owned helps you through volatility and prevent panic selling.  For example, $Pinterest (PINS.US)$ has not done well recently.  I went through my checklist and the thesis still looks intact.  So despite the draw down, I have decided to hold.
2.  Be Patient
Companies need time to execute and that will be reflected in their share price if they execute well.  Very often this does not happen overnight.  Sometimes the share price may not go up in a straight line, you may have to endure some drawdown before it is up again.  It is therefore important to have patience.  
By being patient, it help us to find the next 100 baggers.
$Apple (AAPL.US)$ 
$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ 
3.  Be humble and keep learning
The more I learn, the more I know that I do not know.  Sometimes I thought I have it all covered and Mr Market threw me a curveball.
I am grateful for the great community that @Investing with moomoo @Meta Moo @moomoo Singapore have built, allow us to exchange ideas and learn from one another.  We may not agree with all the points, but having an open mind and exchanging ideas will make you a better investor.

4. Do not FOMO and hindsight is always 20/20
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can wipe you out if you tried to chase any of the stocks.  I resisted very hard to not jump into $GameStop (GME.US)$.
Hindsight is a common feeling when we invest.  Sometimes I did not buy a stock and it rocket and vice versa.  I tell myself that hindsight is 20/20 and I can’t catch all the winners. Looking forward is better than regretting what have happened.
5.  Have a journal
It can be an old fashioned notebook, Microsoft word, video or a post in Moomoo.  
Have a journal and record my investing journey helps to crystallize my thoughts.   I wrote down my reason of starting or exiting a position, my target and my thoughts.  
With the virus living among us, 2021 has not been easy.  We have certainly grown in resilient and hope that the resilience can be also shown in our investing journey.
Wish that 2022 will be a better year for all of us.
Cheers

$Apple (AAPL.US)$
According to sources in the supply chain, Apple's M2 series processors are nearly complete and will be mass-produced using TSMC's 4nm process. In the future, Apple Silicon will upgrade them every 18 months. The M2 processor is expected in the second half of 2022, and the M2 Pro and M2 Max are expected in the first half of 2023. As for apple's new iPhone 14, which will be launched in the second half of 2022, according to industry sources, Apple will introduce two A16 Bionic processors, which will be six core processor architecture, but will be differentiated according to the number of graphics core, support 5G dual-band and the new generation of LPDDR5, WiFi6E and other technical specifications. All will use TSMC 4nm process.
