$Thomson Medical (A50.SG)$ medical shares are up except this??

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. $Sea (SE.US)$  $Zoom Communications (ZM.US)$ 
At a personal level, 2021 has been a year of learning.  I shifted my focus from Singapore dividend stocks such as $DBS (D05.SG)$  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.

$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ 
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

$JD.com (JD.US)$ JD cannot overtake Alibaba because $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ bussines covered the whole world.

$QuantumScape (QS.US)$ I like for this to do a reversal parastatals right here. Similar slope to the negative one down from 43 a month ago would be fantastic. on this daily chart, notice that the SAR indicator is flipping from red circles above to the first circle below. Having large sells is puts also suggests upcoming upward action.

Solid-state batteries have attractive prospects, such as shorter charge times, safer protection, and smaller decay ratios, but mass production is a big problem, and even if it is solved, the yield will be a big problem, so the cost is likely to remain high, preventing large-scale adoption. What's more, if mass production is delayed until a few years from now, new battery technology is likely to replace it.

$Zhihu (ZH.US)$ my favourite stock

$Zhihu (ZH.US)$
The content classification system has been established, and the video-oriented strategy has been continuously promoted:
ZhiHu platform has established a unified content grading system based on the sense of acquisition standard to optimize the community content structure and creation ecology. Two months after the implementation of the standard, the traffic and interaction volume of several core areas have more than doubled, among which the highest growth rate of video playback reached 143.0%. The new mechanism can optimize the video content distribution mechanism, so that users accustomed to graphics and texts are gradually introduced into the video field.
