A child's world is fresh and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement.
However, kids will gradually learn that every piece of their good lives costs money. And they are much more expensive than people used to think when they were children.
It could be scary to face the reality that you need to take responsibility for your life.
Now, let's see how mooers discovered that the world is cruel and scary.

Some said the Omicron variant can't stop people from going away for the holidays — and planning much-needed vacations for 2022. Travel-related stocks like cruises have led the subsequent market rebound as investors grow less fearful about the severity of the new variant.
However, reality doesn't seem to match the script. Since Friday, airlines scrubbed more than 1,500 U.S. flights, disrupting travel during the busy holiday weekend.  $United Airlines (UAL.US)$ ,  $Delta Air Lines (DAL.US)$ ,  $American Airlines (AAL.US)$  and  $JetBlue Airways (JBLU.US)$  cited the spread of omicron among crews as a reason for the cancellations. 
Do you think the virus will once again sabotage the travel demands?
How will related stocks like $Airbnb (ABNB.US)$,  $Carnival (CCL.US)$ , $SIA (C6L.SG)$ perform under the risk of omicron?

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ looks like we are indeed getting that technical pullback I talked about yesterday. Honestly, I won't know how long it's gonna last as NDX has hit a key resistance at 15800 and getting rejected off. The pullback may end as soon as today. Which means we may not get a green Xmas week. We will have to wait and see. But for tesla, key resistance is at 978. So look out at that level. If it doesnt close above 978, it will not look bullish at all and 843 gap fill will happen sooner than later.
You will be better off waiting for a confirmation and not all dips have to be bought because sometimes better dips are right below.
As always trade safe and invest wise!

Lithium prices are rising at their fastest pace in years, setting off a race to secure supplies and fueling worries about long-term shortages of a vital ingredient in the rechargeable batteries that power everything from electric vehicles to smartphones.
An index of lithium prices from research firm and price provider Benchmark Mineral Intelligence doubled between May and November and is up some 240% for the year. The index is at its highest level in data going back five years.
Driving the run up are bets on continued scarcity. Demand is multiplying as Tesla Inc. and other auto makers ramp up sales of electric vehicles. Supply, meanwhile, has been constrained by limited investment in new projects following a recent bear market and supply-chain bottlenecks. Producers often face environmental opposition and cumbersome permitting processes when trying to extract the silvery-white metal.
While there is plenty of lithium in the world, converting it into battery-grade chemicals is a long, expensive ordeal. With traders and corporate buyers , prices are prone to big moves in both directions.

$Sheng Siong (OV8.SG)$ Isn't SS a hedge stock against the pandemic? Why isn't it rising but falling?

$YIHAI INTL (01579.HK)$ worth buying as a growth stock?
