2021 is a roller coaster year to start Trading. I am thankful that I bother to learn the basic technical analysis (TA) of how to read stock charts before I put what I learnt into practice.
For a start, support (buy) and resistance (sell) levels are great indicators to decide where to buy or sell. This would take away some anxiety and stress as I notice that most stocks (except those meme & ETF stocks) do move according to TA. I also learnt how to read EMA i.e. golden cross, death cross, and learning more as I trade more.
To end the year, I started to buy back and start a small new position in $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ and I more or less found a new support point around 136. This is much higher than 80-ish at the beginning and mid of year but TA does pay off itself over time.  
I work in ICT for decade so I tend to favour (bias) them more as I’m more familiar with tech but I do recognise the importance to diversify stock portfolio to spread out risk instead of putting all the monies in one industry.
Top performing stocks (13% of my portfolio) amidst uncertainty includes $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$, $Tapestry (TPR.US)$ , $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ , $Walmart (WMT.US)$ & $Rocket Lab (RKLB.US)$ = this illustrate and reminds me to diversify more.
Worse performing stocks (14% of portfolio) now are $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ , $Coinbase (COIN.US)$ , $Kopin (KOPN.US)$ , $Sabre (SABR.US)$  & $Teladoc Health (TDOC.US)$ 
Overall, I’m down a few ks due to sudden market downturn mostly on tech stocks but these are paper losses. I am not so worried about paper losses as mostly are profitable companies, except TDOC. I’ll keep them and try to average down or do something in 2022. I trade with excess monies that I do not need at moment and can afford to lose but thankfully I didn’t lost monies yet.
PS: Don’t trade blindly, please learn basic and moomoo has plenty of tutorials to learn.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

2021 is the year I started my investment / trading journey, therefore, it’s definitely a year to remember. I must say Moomoo 🐮 and it’s competitor 🐯 (being objective here) have really made investment easy and affordable. Gone were the days where you need to pay hefty commission fees to brokerage firms, which may have deterred many young / new investors from investing. Can I have a hand to see how many investors, who’s like me, started their investment and trading journey on this platform this year?
Anyway, I’ve created a short video to commemorate my meeting with Moomoo, and the review for 2021’s investment journey :)
Have also summarised below the takeaways from my short journey thus far (and I’m sure more to come in future!):
1. Volatility - no matter you’re a investor or trader, you will have to learn to eat and drink volatility for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Look at $Tesla (TSLA.US)$, most of the owners (including me) eat 20% ups and downs from time to time. Therefore, what is volatility? 可以吃的吗? Just keep calm and stay invested :)
2. Même stocks - 2021 saw a rise in Meme stocks. $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ , $GameStop (GME.US)$ , $Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.US)$ , $Phunware (PHUN.US)$ , just to name a few. I learnt the phrase “pump and dump” in the context of a stock market 😏 (if you know, you know). Stay away from these if your heart cannot handle point 1 - volatility. Bonus takeaway: Reddit’s WSB is a fun place to be in. Fun to watch, but probably not fun to follow their advices. 做个吃瓜民众就好 🍿️. PS: I got burnt by $Snap Inc (SNAP.US)$  $IronNet (IRNT.US)$ and $ChemoCentryx (CCXI.US)$ when trying to trade like god of gambler.
Ironnet - Bought at its peak 😂
3. Staying invested - biggest takeaway from 2021 is to stay invested in fundamentally strong stocks. If you have done enough research, and have high conviction for certain stocks, go for it and stick to it. It will grow and rise with you overtime. Just like you don’t keep changing your partner every other day or month right? 😉 For me, I’ve invested in , $Tesla (TSLA.US)$  $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$  $Apple (AAPL.US)$  $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$  $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ , and aiming for   $Sea (SE.US)$  $Salesforce (CRM.US)$  $CrowdStrike (CRWD.US)$  $ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK.US)$  $The Trade Desk (TTD.US)$   $Disney (DIS.US)$  $ProShares Bitcoin ETF (BITO.US)$  $Luminar Technologies (LAZR.US)$ and $Palantir (PLTR.US)$ next year. For trading, I’m still trying to grasp the gist and technique, and find good stocks with high volatility, where I wouldn’t minding “bagholding” even if I get stuck $BioDelivery Sciences International Inc (BDSI.US)$  $LivePerson (LPSN.US)$  $AppHarvest (APPH.US)$  $AST SpaceMobile (ASTS.US)$  $Aurora Cannabis (ACB.US)$  $Blink Charging (BLNK.US)$  $GoHealth (GOCO.US)$  $Bionano Genomics (BNGO.US)$ 
DCA for stock that I have high conviction:
There are lots of noise in the market. If they are killing you and making you can’t sleep at night, delete the brokerage app and don’t log in for a month. Just kidding! Train your heart to be strong and resilient, don’t overreact, don’t get emotional. Be rational. Just like how you deal with challenges in life, overcoming hurdles after hurdles, even when you thought you can’t.
Lastly, they call $Grab Holdings (GRAB.US)$  the super app? I would say moomoo $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$  is the super app for online brokerage, with such comprehensive features. Make use of the functions like “News” to stay updated, “Comments” section to exchange ideas and learn from others, “Heat map” to see the market sentiment for different industries, “Price Alerts” to keep you posted when you’re busy etc etc. And of course, for beginners, check out the cool courses! The review can go on n on. But I don’t want to test Moomoo’s word count limit 🙊

Market is mostly green today $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$  $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ 
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ is back to 1000!
Today I had bought
$Adobe (ADBE.US)$ 
$Baidu (BIDU.US)$

All sectors are down! Only   $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ is up. I will take this chance to average into   $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ and   $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$.

Volatility for technology sector, the rest of the market is up.
I took the opportunity to buy $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$ & $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ which has a positive correlation with nasdaq. I also double my stake on $UP Fintech (TIGR.US)$ pulling down my losses from 68% to 28%.
My watchlist (might average in)
$Alibaba (BABA.US)$ 
$Baidu (BIDU.US)$ 
$PayPal (PYPL.US)$
