Stocks set for mixed open on virus risk; oil falls
Stocks looked set for a mixed start Monday and oil slid amid concerns about more curbs to tackle the omicron virus variant, tightening monetary policy and a setback for President Joe Biden's economic agenda.
Futures earlier slipped for Japan but rose for Hong Kong. Australian stocks edged down, while U.S. equity futures fluctuated. Global stocks retreated last week in part on an outlook of diminishing central bank stimulus as officials pivot toward fighting inflation.
Risks pile up for millions of day traders buying India stocks
Nithin Kamath, the chief executive officer of India's largest online brokerage, estimates that his platform handles 10 to 12 million orders on the average day. They're increasingly from first-time investors under the age of 30, executing dozens of trades at lightning speed off their mobile phones.
Young investors like those on Kamath's Zerodha Broking -- which has come to be known as India's Robinhood -- helped drive its stock market to records this year, but many are now buying at a time when risks are building up.
European power prices for Monday rise to record on cold snap
A combination of colder weather, low wind and nuclear outages, combined with very expensive natural gas prices, saw daily power prices in Spain jump to a record while French equivalent rose to its highest level since a rare price peak in 2009.
With benchmark natural gas prices seen seven times higher than at the start of the year due hampered supplies from Russia, traders are bracing for even higher prices in the coming coldest winter months.
Crypto attracts more money in 2021 than all previous years combined
Need more proof that this is the year digital assets went mainstream? How about the fact that venture capital funds have poured about $30 billion into crypto, or more than in all previous years combined for the little more than decade-old technology.
As other established firms such as Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group and Polychain Capital bet on the next big crypto thing, all manner of experimental projects — a social media app that turns celebrities into tokens, a play-to-earn NFT game inspired by Elon Musk or a collectible consisting of a list of words — secured funding.
Cathie Wood says innovation stocks are in 'deep value' territory

'Cash could be your friend': Wilmington Trust sees a deeper pullback providing better opportunities for investors
Despite a bullish 2022 outlook, Wilmington Trust's Meghan Shue expects the wild swings to ramp up as investors digest a less accommodative Federal Reserve and assess new risks tied to the Covid omicron variant.
"While we're overweight to equities, we're holding elevated cash because we think there are probably going to be more opportunities presenting themselves," the firm's head of investment strategy told CNBC on Friday. "Cash could be your friend over the coming months."
Slim chance U.S. stocks will rack up another year of gains
The $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ is poised to end higher for the third year in a row, having added more than 20% so far in 2021. Another rally in 2022 would make for a four-year winning streak, which has happened only five times in nearly a century.
Analysis shows a three-year streak -- like the one now -- is uncommon, but not terribly out of the ordinary, occurring 11 times for data going back to 1927, and making another year of gains a toss-up. The longest-ever wining streak was the eight-year period from 1982 to 1989 (even with a dramatic crash in October 1987, the S&P 500 still eked out a gain).

$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ $Ford Motor(F.US)$ $General Motors(GM.US)$ Daiwa Securities analyst Jairam Nathan is pessimistic about the EV industry's prospects for 2022. Nathan said slower earnings growth at automakers, transition risks in electric vehicles and tighter monetary conditions have led him to be conservative about the industry as a whole. Nathan predicts demand will weaken in 2022 because of high car prices and the Fed is tapering, followed by interest rate hikes. Most people borrow money to buy cars, and higher interest rates make buying cars more expensive.

$Futu Holdings Ltd(FUTU.US)$
Well the bulls say that this is fake news. However, I am bear on this, I believe that it's more likely true than not... Otherwise, if investors are so confident in the share, why the PUT options volume keep increasing?
Take past examples of Chinese "fake" news that turned out to be right.
1) DIDI: At least 1 day after IPO, report that DIDI is targeted by CCP and will delist from U.S... Now it happened.
2) WEIBO: Rumor in July by Reuters that weibo will be bought out at $80 per share. The buy-out happening now. But not at $80 per share.
Now, China is facing monetary issues and there is not enough demand for RMB in China, Chinese banks are cracking down of ownership of foreign currencies. Off-shore trading will mean that Chinese citizens will have to trade RMB to USD to buy overseas shares. Leading to lower strength of RMB.
I believe the ban will be real.. But as to what type of ban... It could be ban of mainland citizens to trade foreign stocks... But not banning them to trade in China stock market.
Hence, mainland citizens can still trade. Just not in foreign markets. I believe the revenue of FUTU will be impacted as trading volume on FUTU is lowered.

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?
