$Robinhood (HOOD.US)$ When a new brokerage firm syphons off an entire generation of young investors like Robinhood has then you wonder what the existing brokerage firms were thinking.
HOOD is the future and today was a great day to start buying.
All those young investors are going to be middle-aged investors in ten years with good jobs and inheritances from the boomer generation.
The transfer of wealth from one generation to the next is beyond anything that has happened before. The average home is now around $350,000 and the boomer households have above-average real estate holdings.

$Boeing (BA.US)$ Sources in Canada say the reason is Boeing's attempts to shut down the C Series order placed by Delta Air Lines. The C Series now belongs to Airbus, Delta has more than 50 A220 airliners in service with almost as many still on order, and no Airbus model has been grounded while the MAX, which Boeing claimed it was trying to protect from the C Series, spent 2 years on the ground.
And now you lose a potential major order from the U.S. closest ally.
So was it worth it, Boeing?
Or are you willing to admit that the C Series complaint was just another one of the strategic failures that Boeing has made over the past ten years?

$Pfizer (PFE.US)$ Where is the science here? We know that the two vaccine shots was not effective, but we know that booster will be? Has any testing been done on how the booster interacts with Omicron? Is there a possibility, remote as it may be, that the booster would make Omicron more precarious?
I really feel disgusted by this push for the booster. We have been lied to related to the vaccine (I am still suffering from its side effects after six months of taking the second shot), and now they want to make the booster mandatory. If this is not appalling, what would be?

$Ford Motor (F.US)$ I assume Argo is going to go public soon. That along with some revenue should take the place of Ford and VW continually financing Argo. That in itself is cash flow positive for Ford. I think that is good enough for Ford for the time being.

Despite a threat to vaccine-driven immunity with the recent emergence of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron, $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ is on course to record its best monthly gain since Dec. 1991.
Over the past 12 months, the shares of the New York-based pharma giant has climbed ~40.8% well outperforming the broader index, as indicated in the graph below. Driven by the sales of the vaccine it co-developed with $BioNTech (BNTX.US)$ , its revenue has more than doubled over the past year.
Pfizer’s performance contrasts with rival vaccine maker $Moderna (MRNA.US)$ whose CEO has warned that the COVID-19 vaccines could lose efficacy against Omicron, classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global variant of concern.
However, Pfizer targets both preventative and therapeutic aspects of the disease with its vaccine and the experimental COVID-19 pill Paxlovid, for which the company has already sought U.S. regulatory authorization.

$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ I know you people are trying to use "regular investor guy" mentality to justify the CEO selling ½ his shares, but a CEO is not a regular guy. It shows a lack of confidence in his company and his management to sell that much all at once. Selling now to avoid paying a 7% tax later means he doesn't think the stock will go up 7% in the next year. It also lacks class, since that kind of money is just a scorecard. You don't actually spend it. So talking about tax management like you're some kind of regular guy who's saving up to buy a house is silly. He chose to sell shares because he could see that the price today is higher than it will be in the future. This is terrible optics and is a clear sign that something bad is coming. A CEO has a pretty good idea what business looks like for the next 12 months & this is a huge sell signal. Invest if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.

$Ford Motor (F.US)$ Dude, Ford goes through a crisis every ten years or so. Ford Treasury is very conservative and has been in the debt business for longer than we have been alive. They're very conservative and have been correct more often than not, often in times of crises. Not saying they are perfect but I would give them the benefit of the doubt specifically when it comes to bonds and debt. Just my 2 cents based on observing Ford since 1990.

$Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ One of the easiest shorts ever. Using money I can lose and if they pump this fomo crap higher I'll incrementally add. Mark that it will be either 90% lower or bankrupt some day in the near enough future. This market is full of these fomo short opps given all the gambling everyone is doing.

$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ Singapore has moved forward with a spot Bitcoin ETF even as plans for similar U.S.-listed funds remain sidelined by Securities and Exchange Commission opposition.
Singapore-based fund manager Fintonia Group launched the country's first spot Bitcoin fund after receiving approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
The ETF will actually buy and hold physical Bitcoin.
"The fund acquires 'physical' Bitcoin, meaning we will buy the actual Bitcoin [rather than] a derivative instrument on Bitcoin," Adrian Chng, founder and chairman of Fintonia Group told Fund Selector Asia.
Chng added that he believes Bitcoin is an excellent form of capital for loans, being that it trades 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Moreover, it's highly liquid, with approximately $30B to $60B exchanged per day.
Chng further noted that crypto-assets can be rapidly liquidated, in contrast to commodities and other tangible assets.
Price action for Bitcoin: +5.7% Monday and +100.2% YTD.
Singapore hopes to become one of the focal points for crypto-assets in the global economy.
"We think the best approach is not to clamp down or ban these things," Ravi Menon, managing director of the MAS, said earlier in the month.
By contrast, U.S. firms' have attempted to roll out spot Bitcoin ETFs but have run into SEC opposition.
Experts don't expect a U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF until mid-2022.

wild horse : Many young investors got screwed when HOOD determined what the investor could do with their own positions. Those customers got sold out for the hedge funds. I can't see any reason for customers to stay with HOOD except not wanting to do the work to transfer. Never gave HOOD money, never intend to.
