Hello Mooers , today we are going to learn two new exciting things, that is timing the market and expecting profits from every trade.
We start off by looking at the following chart, which shows the stock movement of $Phunware(PHUN.US)$ for the last few months in 2021.
(^PHUN Highest: 24.04, Lowest: 0.85)
Many of us would have heard news about Mr. Trump own social media TMTG, which come with a mission, that is to give a voice to all. The price of Trump concept ( $Trump-Related Stocks(LIST2592.US)$ ) stocks such as $Digital World Acquisition Corp(DWAC.US)$ and $Phunware(PHUN.US)$ “went to the moon ” when the news came out. At one point, $Phunware(PHUN.US)$ made a heroic rise of 1099.35%!
If we got in earlier, and exit before it drop, we would have made a huge decent profit . Notice what we are doing and thinking here. We are actually timing the market (doing) and always expecting (thinking) a profit from the trade.
These two common mistakes, which many of us made in different situation, is totally awesome & great, as it shows that we have tried something new, just like Albert Einstein, who once say that ‘A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new’.
So, starting from this moment, encourage yourself to never stop making mistakes. Making mistakes are marvelous and thru mistakes, we can learn important lessons, which will help to grow our portfolio, and sometimes, change our destiny.

$Amazon(AMZN.US)$ $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ Tech giants Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and even Microsoft are all tracking user information. But what we don't know is how they monetize that information on their own platforms. Regulators are also investigating tech companies across the board, finding that the giants use search, social media and cloud computing to create an uneven playing field between themselves and our consumers.

$Alibaba(BABA.US)$ I am not buying this stock. I am selling PUTS which is much better until we have a better clarity on the future of this stock.

This month, a disappointing earnings release re-initiated the selloff in Alibaba Group (BABA) stock. Revenue was just barely off analyst estimates, while earnings missed by a wide margin. The release showed that BABA's tax rate had increased to 25% and its revenue growth had slowed to 29%. The numbers were disappointing but not devastating to the long term thesis on BABA. Enough revenue growth can absorb the impact of increased costs, but BABA's costs - especially taxes - increased more than many had anticipated in Q2. The tax burden alone was nearly a billion dollars, and the company rolled increasing amounts of money into its still-unprofitable non-core businesses. It will take some time for BABA to walk off these higher costs.
BABA stock remains risky. Between fines, new regulations and economic tension between China and US, there are many risk factors for investors to be aware of. Just recently, BABA and a few of its competitors got slapped with another round of $78,000 fines - this time for not reporting transactions. The amount of money in this case was negligible, but the event showed that Chinese internet companies still face a lot of scrutiny from the Chinese Communist Party ("CCP").
Here is a round up of what happened to BABA throughout this year
- A $2.8 billion fine for preventing merchants from selling on other platforms
- A series of $75000 fines for ïmproper acquisition
- Another series of $78000 fines for failing to report old deals
- Bans on exclusive contract
- Mandatory sharing of content between companies
- Mandaotry sharing of payment services
