$Apple (AAPL.US)$ trying to maintain bullish trend. A way to beat technical data which lots of people rely on.

My 2021 investment journey has been rock and roll so far. Here are some of the few stocks that I bought (and/or sold to book profit). Most of them have rewarded me decently.
$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$   $Tesla (TSLA.US)$   $BlackBerry (BB.US)$   $Apple (AAPL.US)$   $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$   $Applied Materials (AMAT.US)$   $Ford Motor (F.US)$   $Alibaba (BABA.US)$   $Cisco (CSCO.US)$   $Tata Motors (TTM.US)$   $Fiverr International (FVRR.US)$   $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$   $American Airlines (AAL.US)$   $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$   $Nokia Oyj (NOK.US)$   $Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO.US)$   $Qualcomm (QCOM.US)$   $Intel (INTC.US)$ 
There are lots of ups and downs but it was good, as at every point of time, I have actually learnt something.
Stock market is like an ocean of knowledge. I get to learn something new at each and every step I take. It teaches me how to stay disciplined with my own money!
So far, I have enjoyed investing in this volatile market and I think this is the best time for anyone to enter the market and make some smart investments which can definitely pay off in the future. Remember, only invest what you can afford to lose!
I think my best investment by far is my education which has lead me to where I am today. It made me capable enough that I not only earn for myself but can help others too.
The majority of my investment is in the real estate followed by stocks, mutual funds, cryptocurrency and investing in watches.
Real estate is the other success story for me where I think I gained the best, while the rest of my investments also did reasonably well in 2021.
I believe in a well-diversified portfolio as it will expose me to much more opportunities for returns, while safeguarding against adverse market cycles.
I always believe in spending wisely than just investing for accumulating wealth. Whatever I earn, I try my best to utilise very wisely.
Summation of my stock market journey:
Markets are forever.
There should be no compulsion to trade every day.
Taking care of losses is essential.
Patience pays.
Wealth is a two-way road and one should learn to make it one way. Wealthy are those who learned the concept of keeping invested in liquid assets.
I have seen many people entering the stock markets looking for profits. Some will get quick profits in initial days and once they start losing money, they leave the markets. My suggestion would be, do not leave the markets. Stock markets are the biggest Teachers.
If trading is not your cup of tea, go for investing. Investments in stock markets give you returns which no one can ever provide. Thus, please exercise patience and stay long in the markets.
The bargain hunter in me automatically makes me a value investor. Eg, I will abruptly transit to buying something on sale, from buying something I had originally planned to get, when I feel they are on a super sale.
Always understand the difference between price and value. When you pay too high for a good business, you turn a great business into a poor investment. This turns your greatest advantage into greatest disadvantage. No matter how good the stock is, always buy at a bargain.
Syuee sending blessings, this Christmas and every day. Here is my simple made-from-scratch Christmas Special Fruitcake.
All I want for Christmas… is a Santa Claus Rally!
I am really excited to see what 2022 may bring to us Mooers!
Here’s to a season of blessings beyond this Christmas and New Year!

$Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$  $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$  $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$

$Apple (AAPL.US)$ 200

Star instituitions comes in handy especially if you would like to trade or invest like institutions. If you are a Wyckoff practitioner like me, it will be even more useful when you combine interpreting the volume as the footprint of instituitions. Ultimately, with the Star Institutions function, you know exactly what stocks institutions currently own or when they start topping up or unloading, etc...
Top Stocks have the most institutional ownership
As shown above, the top 5 stocks heavily owned by institutions are $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ , $Apple (AAPL.US)$ , $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ , $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$ they all showed 1 key characteristic - outperformance!
These are the stocks still near all time high because the institutions have not given them up. In fact, some of other institutions actually rotate their funds into these "outperforming stocks" during the correction since Nov 2021.
That's why the market breadth is getting worse while the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ just slightly below all time high level. Check out the post --> on divergence between market breadth and SPX is you haven't.
Having said that, it is essential to pay attention to the volume of these stocks because these are the stocks that are moved by institutions. It will be a lot clearer and obvious when the results (price) are in sync with the effort (Volume).
Simply checking out the top stocks based on the the AMC number will allow you to have unlimited trading or investing ideas where you know will be moved by the big whales. All you need to do is to interpret the price and volume.
Another way to use it is to find out what stands out from the institutional portfolio. For example, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holdings are interesting because $Apple (AAPL.US)$ accounts for 46% of their portfolio, which is excessive and unusual if you compare to other institutions. When a giant institution like Berkshire Hathaway bet haevily on AAPL with more than 40% and keep adding the positions, they must know something that others don't.
If you keep track just the top 10 of the institutions and monitor their heavy weights and do your own research, you could have picked up a few gems like AAPL.
Have fun exploring and let me know how you use Star Institutions.

When things have been going south for the market, some of you new bulls should invest in solid stocks like $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ , $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ , $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ , $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ , $Apple (AAPL.US)$ etc. Santa rally is coming and it will be BIG. I have been long in AMD and NFLX Since 2017 . Both are UNSTOPPABLE.  All you need to do is just wait. Do nothing. Just chill. I assure you that there is no way traders are winning in this market. Invest in the product you believe in, and then sit back. Do nothing. Bottom is already in for most of the tech stocks. We are close to the rally...very close.
