    In this article, I'd like to share with you another way to gain an advantage in trading. This method is related to public information. Most people either don't know they have this information or don't know how to use it to their advantage.
    This approach looks at “insider buys.”
    A company insider is a management team, board member, or shareholder who holds at least 5% of the company's shares. They have access to information not available to the public, but they cannot trade based on this information because it is illegal “insider trading.”
    Legitimate insider trading is different.
    These insiders are allowed to trade based on publicly available information and their in-depth knowledge of the business. In most cases, they have to report their trades to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within two days, then their trading information is made public.
    If you know how to interpret this information, they can alert you to a great opportunity to trade.
    You need to know that not all insider purchases are important; in order to select important information, you need to figure out the following questions.
    1. Question 1: Who is buying it?
    Generally speaking, you want the highest-level insiders, that is, company executives, such as the CEO (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO), and chief operating officer (COO), to buy.
    Often these insiders know more about the details of a company's operations than anyone else, so when the market abuses the company's stock too much...

    Trend investing can generate attractive returns, but there is one condition: it needs to be invested when no one is paying attention, or when everyone is avoiding such assets.
    Even if you discover an obvious trend, if other investors have already gone all-in on this opportunity, your returns will still be affected.
    This is exactly what happened to all investors in a sector last year.
    In the following, I will share what happened in that sector, what we can learn from it, and how to avoid this trap.
    The story behind an obvious major trend is always intriguing, especially one that will undoubtedly change our lives in the coming decades.
    Investors who are betting on this investment theme are generally right in the big picture. The sector they are flocking to is highly likely to take off in the coming years. However, this does not change the basic principle of investment: if the timing is wrong, you will still suffer huge losses.
    The sector we are discussing today is the clean energy sector.
    Investor enthusiasm for clean energy was high in 2020. Ford Motor released the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, shifting from its signature muscle cars to electric vehicles. That same year, General Motors also introduced a pure electric SUV. Honda plans to launch a pure electric SUV called the Honda Prologue in 2024.
    In addition to the companies mentioned above, Jaguar, Cadillac, Volvo, and other car brands plan to produce only electric vehicles by 2030.
    Not only car companies are driving the development of clean energy, but the U.S.

    The S&P 500 index is usually considered a barometer of the U.S. economy, but sometimes don't be misled by it.
    The current S&P 500 index is different from the past. Nowadays, only a few companies account for the majority of its weight in the S&P 500 index components.
    The few companies refer to FAAMG companies, including Meta platform (FB), Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet.
    These 5 companies have a combined market cap of 22.3% of the S&P 500 index. If we include Tesla, with a market cap of $1.1 trillion, these 6 companies account for a quarter of the S&P 500 index.
    Therefore, although the S&P 500 index is supposed to represent the broad market, often its movements are directly linked to these large technology giants.
    Smaller companies may face challenges, and their stock prices may fall, but if the stock prices of these 6 tech giants rise, the S&P 500 index may also rise. Therefore, it is often difficult to distinguish whether a bull market is truly healthy or simply supported by a few companies.
    One way to evaluate this is to look at the ups and downs of the S&P 500 index.
    The trend line is a simple indicator that subtracts the number of stocks that rise from the number of stocks that fall on a given day. If there are more stocks that rise on a given day, the trend line will rise; if there are more stocks that fall, the trend line...

    在过去一个月,消费必需品股票是股市表现最好的股票之一。基准的标准普尔500指数自12月10日以来下跌了0.9%,而标准普尔500消费必需品指数(S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index)却上涨了4%。
    众所周知,消费必需品是人们在日常生活中离不开的商店和物品,比如杂货店、食品公司,以及卫生纸、牙膏和垃圾袋等家居用品生产公司,这些都是主要必需品的出处。
    不管经济状况如何,人们总要去这些商店购买这些产品,所以这些公司不需要像其它经济板块那样经历剧烈的需求波动。此外,由于它们的稳定性,这些公司经常定期向股东派发不断增长的股息。
    两大优势加身,令消费必需品成为一个“规避风险”的板块,当市场其它板块看起来有风险的时候,投资者往往会将资金转移到这个板块。
    最近股票市场风险不小,标准普尔500信息科技指数(最受欢迎的“风险投资”板块之一)在过去一个月里下跌了5%,这个板块内的很多个股跌得更惨。
    但消费必需品的股价涨势可能会失去动力,至少在短期内是这样。

    1. What you need to do is not predict, but assess the risk.
    For humans, the world is unpredictable, mainly because the future is unpredictable.
    We live in a complex, interconnected world where no one can know for sure what will happen next.
    Looking back at recent major events in the market, any real evaluation would acknowledge that they are unpredictable.
    No one intentionally predicted the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we don't know where it came from. In fact, looking back, we still haven't fully determined its origin.
    The subsequent astonishing bull market also seems unpredictable, with a crazy bull market appearing in the stock market after global lockdown, which is unprecedented.
    Other market-driving factors are not naturally occurring "black swans" (like COVID-19), but depend on the decisions of a small group of people, and these decisions can have any driving effect.
    While you cannot predict an epidemic, when you carefully assess the risks, you can estimate the likelihood of such situations occurring, even if you don't know the exact timing or manner of their occurrence.
    However, these are all risk assessments, not predictions. Because you understand that stock prices will be affected by broad and unpredictable events, you need to ensure that you do not increase leverage, and you also know that a 50% decline is possible.
    If you trust the predictions you or others have made about your investment portfolio, then you are taking a risk with your own funds.
    Therefore, when we were planning the 2022 column content, we shifted to doing risk assessments...

    This is a trap that many investors can't stop and can easily fall into.
    When the market falls sharply, they will have the desire to buy stocks, hoping to break the bottom.
    After all, as the old saying goes, we want to “buy low and sell high.” However, buying while stock prices are still falling is sometimes a dangerous game and usually results in losses.
    Today, let's talk about a market that is in its downturn, but investors are flocking in, which sends a red flag that there may be further losses in 2022.
    Zhonggai has caused quite a few people to lose money this year (we said it a year ago; stay away from China Securities; I don't know how many friends have done it). It has been particularly affected by the return to Hong Kong boom, but at this point, many friends will be curious. Is it really time to get to the bottom of it? After all, buying at the bottom is very attractive, and the potential profit is greatest. If you can make a big order, it will be enough to show off for a while.
    As a result, many investors are ready to go undercover.
    ETF-iShares (FXI) holds a basket of shares of leading Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong. This is one of the easiest ways for US investors to invest in Chinese stocks.
    Importantly, FXI has continued to decline since peaking in February of last year, and since then FXI has declined by about 32%.
    However, investors have not given up on this market. We can see this from FXI's total circulation share. The principle is simple:
    FXI's unique fund structure allows it to increase or liquidate shares according to investors' needs. If investors are bullish on China's blue chips...

    Editor's note: As part of the New Year series, we are once again analyzing the real estate market.
    1. The real estate market's long bull run is just beginning.
    l Steve would undoubtedly choose real estate investment over gold.
    Indeed, the US real estate market is the focus of 2021, with record-low interest rates and high demand leading to frenzy in bidding wars and soaring prices.
    These may seem like speculative mania, reminiscent of the real estate bubble before the financial crisis. However, according to Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, the real estate bull market is not a bubble, but the beginning of a long-term trend that is far from over.
    As Steve stated in a research report published on September 9th, he believes that real estate is an excellent investment for the present and even the next 10 years, and if he had to choose, he would give up all gold investments. Long-time readers may know that Steve is very bullish on the US real estate market.
    Steve refers to this real estate bull market as his most important prediction for the 2020s. In the following text, Steve will share the three best methods to capitalize on this huge trend.
    If he had to choose, Steve would choose to forever give up investing in gold and instead invest in the real estate market.
    Around the year 2000, gold was also about to end a 10-year bear market.
    It's too conservative to say that nobody was paying attention to gold at that time.
    I remember the first time I went to see a coin exhibition, the exhibition hall was half full, and the visitors were all over 60 years old....

    1. I personally think that there may be a market crash in 2022.The "market" here refers to the stock market and the corporate bond market, which is much larger than the stock market.I'm not the only one who thinks so. Michael Burry is one of the few people who can foresee the financial crisis in 2008. In 2007, he bought credit default swaps on mortgage bonds through his hedge fund, betting heavily on a fall in the market.The deal earned $750 million for Burry investors and $100m for himself. Michael Lewis wrote a book about him, which was later adapted into the movie Big short.We should all pay attention to Burry.He doesn't often share his thoughts, and when he does, he usually speaks on Twitter these days.Now that Burry predicts that the "mother of the crash" is emerging, he says the market is like dancing on the cutting edge. He recently posted a message about the market on Twitter:More speculative than in the 1920s, higher than the overvaluation of the 1990s, and worse than the geopolitical and economic conflicts of the 1970s.In addition to posting on Twitter, Burry is selling most of his shares.At his hedge fund Thain Asset Management (Scion Asset Management), he cut his portfolio from more than 20 stocks to six at the end of the third quarter.Not all my colleagues like it.
