$Intel (INTC.US)$ $GE Aerospace (GE.US)$ $Visa (V.US)$
I'm snatching up good stocks when the price is right. I still see overvalued stocks, but starting to see stocks that could be a good buy stock soon.
It's still high, but I'm eyeing INTC, GE, V and maybe hoping for a pullback on LOW.

$General Mills (GIS.US)$ $The Kraft Heinz (KHC.US)$ $The Campbell's Co (CPB.US)$
General Mills Inc missed Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on Tuesday, as the Cheerios cereal maker grappled with soaring prices of raw materials and higher costs of freight and labor.
Shares of the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company were down about 4% in premarket trade.
Prolonged supply chain disruptions and a shortage of truck drivers in the United States have forced packaged food makers to incur higher costs, adding to spiraling prices of ingredients like wheat, corn and edible oils that have already crimped margins across the sector.
To ease some of the cost pressures, General Mills, like peers Kraft Heinz Co and Campbell Soup Co, has bumped up prices of its products.
However, heightened inflation and supply costs in the quarter outstripped General Mills' efforts to raise product prices, Chief Executive Officer Jeff Harmening said. The company said it has taken further pricing actions that will go into effect in the current quarter, adding it expects more price increases in the back half of the year.

First and foremost, I would like to thank to the 50+ supporters and participants who have voted for an example , and because of your loves and likes, we shall go through an example in today's discussion.
So here we go!
Step 1. Identify the number of stocks that we are willingly to trade.
We will select 8 as the number of stocks that we are willing to trade.
Step 2. Identify the list of favourite stocks that we can afford to trade with.
We will select $Apple (AAPL.US)$ , $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ , $Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ and $Moody's (MCO.US)$ as our favorite stocks. The price is 179.45, 44.52, 56.28 and 397.75 as of 10 Dec 2021 in USD.
This is 50% of the total number of stocks we have selected in Step 1.
Step 3. Identify the budget that we going to spend on our portfolio.
We will be investing USD $12,000 on our SI portfolio.
Step 4. Look thru the SI we are familiar with in the SI feature.
We have found the following SI that we are familiar with.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Soros Capital Management LLC.
Dimensional Fund Advisors L.P.
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited.
Also, in the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. top 8 holdings list, it has all the favourite stocks that we want.
$Apple (AAPL.US)$ *, 179.45, 46.77%
$Bank of America (BAC.US)$ *, 44.52, 13.21%
$American Express (AXP.US)$ , 167.03, 7.44%
$Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ *, 56.28, 6.61%
$The Kraft Heinz (KHC.US)$ , 34.15, 3.27%

Cost: 1219.17
* favourite stocks as in step 2, and the first number is the stock price as of 10 Dec 2021 while the second number represent the stock weightage in the portfolio.
Thus, we shall select Berkshire Hathaway Inc portfolio to be cloned.
Step 5. Check if SI have at least 8 consecutive years of quarterly 13F filings.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Yes )
Soros Capital Management LLC. (No)
Dimensional Fund Advisors L.P. (Yes )
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited. (Yes )
Step 6. Look out for any restatements (for both buys and sells) issued by SI.
A quick check shows that there is no restatement for the past 5 years from Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Step 7. Using our magic formula.
Using the magic formula:
[ (Stock weightage in SI portfolio / Total weightage of trimmed SI portfolio) x our budget (Step 3) ] / current Stock price. Each result will be round down to the nearest integer.
We will buy the following number of stocks
$Apple (AAPL.US)$ , 36 stocks

China is a huge market with enormous potential. They have very good and large companies that can rival US firms. Personally, I believe there are big growths and opportunities in Chinese stocks.
That said, I opine that for those who choose to start your journey of investment in Chinese stocks or choose to remain invested in them, you must be able to:
1) Be in for long term. Think 5 years, 8 years, 10 years etc. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
2) Accept the high volatility due to regulatory pressures.
3) Be mentally prepared for Murphy’s Law - anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
4) More importantly, invest only what you can afford to lose.
If you can stick to the above, and weather the current storm, the potential flip side / upside would be high returns from these beaten-down cheap stocks - like a sleeping giant (bull) waiting to be awaken and unleashed.
Short term fluctuations do not change the long term positive outlook. Not financial advice though. DYDD and invest safely.

The Omicron variant is the latest mutant strain of the coronavirus to spark concern across the globe.
Reports so far indicate that the variant is causing mild symptoms and not leading to notably increased hospitalizations or deaths in vaccinated individuals. Furthermore, the latest data from BioNTech (BNTX) and Pfizer (PFE) suggest that a three-dose regimen — essentially getting a two-dose Pfizer vaccination and then a booster — was able to neutralize the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test.
Consequently, one physician isn’t as concerned as he was before vaccines were publicly available.
“We’re fully vaccinated now,” Dr. Calvin Sun, a New York City-based emergency medicine physician, said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Last year, there was no vaccine made available to the public. Therefore, if something like Omicron came around last year without a vaccine, it’s like driving down a highway when it’s about to get busier and busier without a seatbelt made available to us.”
“Where we stand right now is that most of the people who are unvaccinated are the ones being hospitalized, at least 85% from the emerging data,” Sun said. “It’s actually showing that the disease with at least the predominantly fully vaccinated is a mild course if you are to be infected. But for the fully unvaccinated, the chances of being hospitalized are way higher.”
All three of the main vaccine manufacturers — Pfizer $Pfizer (PFE.US)$ , Moderna (MRNA) $Moderna (MRNA.US)$ , and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$ — have said they are researching the variant closely and may potentially develop a vaccine to specifically target Omicron.
On Wednesday, Pfizer announced that all three doses of its vaccine regimen (the two initial doses, plus a booster) were shown to be effective in producing antibodies against Omicron.

The Federal Trade Commission has started an inquiry into recent supply chains disruptions and is ordering nine large retailers, wholesalers and consumer goods suppliers to provide the agency information.
The orders are being sent to $Walmart (WMT.US)$, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$, $The Kroger (KR.US)$, $Procter & Gamble (PG.US)$, $Tyson Foods (TSN.US)$, $The Kraft Heinz (KHC.US)$, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. and McLane Co., according to an FTC release. The companies will have 45 days from the date they received the order to respond.
The FTC is issuing the orders under a special section of the FTC Act, which authorizes the agency to conduct "wide-ranging" studies that don't have a specific law enforcement purpose.
The orders require the companies to detail the primary factors disrupting their ability to obtain, transport and distribute their products; the impact these disruptions are having in terms of delayed and canceled orders and increased costs and prices.
The FTC also is requiring the companies to provide internal documents regarding the supply chain disruptions.
Yesterday, Black Friday sales growth reverses for first time - Adobe Analytics.
Earlier, Walmart and Kohl's are tipped to have outperformed peers on Black Friday.
