The rapidly rising level of COVID-19 cases in New York City has altered the New Year’s Eve telecast plans for three of the four major broadcast networks, with one show being canceled and two others being redirected to other cities.
What Happened: According to a Deadline report, $Fox Corp-B(FOX.US)$ has cancelled its planned “Fox’s New Year’s Eve Toast & Roast 2022,” a live show that was to be hosted by Ken Jeong and Joel McHale.
A Fox spokesperson cited COVID-19 as the reason for the cancellation, noting “the recent velocity of the spread of omicron cases has made it impossible to produce a live special in Times Square that meets our standards.” The network has yet to announce a replacement for the show.
While New York City has traditionally been the epicenter of New Year’s Eve telecasts, $Visa(V.US)$ is breaking with tradition by hosting a live show from Nashville with country music performers including Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Blake Shelton.
$Comcast(CMCSA.US)$ NBC is also leaving Manhattan for the holiday, with “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels coordinating a Miami-based production hosted by Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson.
Only $Disney(DIS.US)$ ABC is keeping its “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” in New York, which is scheduled to include a performance by LL Cool J from Times Square.
Why It Matters: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose term expires on New Year’s Day, has yet to finalize the city’s plans for the Times Square festivities on Dec. 31. To date, the city was planning to require full vaccinations from all attendees coming into Times Square unless they have a medical exemption — however, the vaccination regimen needed to be complete by Dec. 17. Booster shots and masks for vaccinated people was not among the requirements being planned.
Last year, the Times Square festivities did not include the traditional huge crowds, but instead accommodated a limited number of invited essential workers to share in a much-welcomed goodbye to 2020.

The biggest mistake I've made while trading was getting too excited with the day trading of $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ during the earnings report release period.
I bought $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ very near the historical high and I failed to cut my losses when it fell to the 300s mark. So now I'm just waiting for $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ to bounce back up to the mid 400s so that I can start afresh with, my limited capital. See below for my position chart

anyone that has a keen sense of the obvious knows by now that there is an inverse correlation between auntie Cathy picking a stock and the performance of that stock. take a look at this list of stocks that makes up the top holdings of her FinTech innovation ETF. i’m not looking to explain it because that has no effect on the existence of the curse. Even if I like a stock, if a background check pulls up the stock being in a Kathy ETF, I am staying away.

What happened
Despite some rather good news with several coronavirus stocks on Monday, for the most part investors sold them off.
After an early morning price pop, bellwether Moderna $Moderna(MRNA.US)$ ended up sinking by over 6% on the day. Novavax $Novavax(NVAX.US)$ , which fell 7%, could have been the poster child for the good news/bad stock price dynamic on the day. BioNTech $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ slid by more than 4%, even as the co-developer of its Comirnaty coronavirus vaccine, Pfizer $Pfizer(PFE.US)$ , crept up by nearly 3% on the day.
Now what
Fear was guiding investment decisions about coronavirus stocks on Monday, and as long as those alarming headlines spread across web pages and newspapers, that should continue. Perhaps investors are seeking shelter in certain defensive pharmaceutical titles, which might explain Pfizer's rise on the day. Either way, now is a nervy time to hold shares of biotechs active in the coronavirus fight.

In 2021, moomoo became the place where investors could share their opinions and communicate freely with each other. The frequent interactions between the enthusiastic mooers have positively impacted the community. Mooers are moving in the same direction: making profits and improving themselves. It would take a long time and great effort for our dear mooers to achieve these goals. Why don't we take a look at ten of the year's valuable market insights and investing tips?
Spoiler: There's a chance to get points if you read till the end.
*The selected articles are listed randomly.
ONE: Is investing in Trump's new merger a good idea?
@HuatLadywrote about his concerns on the merger of Trump's company and a SPAC called the Digital World Acquisition Corp. We have to admit that he has a point!
"Forgive me for predicting that most likely his company's stock will not be viable for long term investment goal."
View more: Will Donald be able to deal his Trump Card?
TWO: What do you think of meme stocks?
@Machiavellis3rdEyeused vivid language to call for rational investing and remind mooers to watch out for media manipulations. Do you agree with him?
"You ARE ALL MY ALLIES, regardless of your investment choices, politics, religions, colors, sex, or anything else! I say we start learning and adapting to their constantly evolving illegal games (media manipulation, PFOF, CB's) together. Then we will all figure out how to take that cheese - without getting TRAPPED."

THREE: What can we learn from the big picture?
@WYCKOFFPROanalyzed the trend of the Russell 2020 with technical tools. Has the market proved his assumptions?
"The breakout of the Russell 2000 gives the first confirmation of the scenario of possible rotation from big cap stocks to small cap stocks."

FOUR: Will the strong momentum of recovery stocks fade?
On Nov 5, Pfizer introduced a new COVID-19 antiviral pill that is expected to treat 89% of acutely hospitalized patients and thus reduce the risk of death. @HuatEveranticipated that Pfizer's share price would continue to climb once the FDA approved the new antiviral pill. What do you think?
"They hold the promise of cutting down the risk of severe Covid 19 ailments, hospitalisation stays and even deaths, and if being taken at the early onsets of infection. "

FIVE: EV stocks skyrocketing: Good buy or goodbye?
@Deviltonconducted an in-depth analysis on one of the most popular stocks, $Rivian, and pointed out that patience is a virtue in trading.
"Human are always impatient, we will always have FOMO if we sit and wait till Friday, scared that it stops falling and starts to rise again. Yet buying all tomo may not allow you to buy at the best price." View more here.
SIX: How do you decide when to buy/sell?
@HopeAlwayssaid that there is no best way to determine when to buy and when to sell the stocks of indexes. The timings depend on investing goals, philosophies, and personal preferences.
"The three main risks are company, valuation and earnings risks. Once we are able to find a stock that that signals low risk based on these three conditions, it is time to buy. Whenever a negative change happens to any of the three conditions,  it is time to sell."

SEVEN: How do you know when to stop loss / take profit?
@Powerhousehas three underlying principles in stopping losses and taking profits. All investors should stay informed and closely observe trends to set price targets.
"For micro, there is a need to determine your present financial risk appetite figuratively. On the macro level, situations may have changed. Determining when is the most precise time to stop loss or take profit of a stock and milk the most out of it is extremely difficult."

EIGHT: What urges you to press the "trade" button?
@Panda2102has done macro research to sort out a list of companies and ranks them from different dimensions.
"The mission statement, the moat, the network effect, the switching cost, low cost advantage, optionality, the ratio for PE, PEG, Cash, Debt, Free Cash flow and the ownership of the company."

NINE: How to build a portfolio with a windfall of $1 million?
@Mars Mooothinks that the Squid Game Multi-Portfolio comprises four parts: player 456, player 218, player 067, and a liquid one.
"The first portfolio is aimed at potential sectors for diversification and profits. The second is designed to high risk lead high returns. The next one intent on helping on thr way. While the last one shows that cash is king."

TEN: How to profit from short-selling?
@Mcsnacks H Tupackshared that short-selling is highly popular on Wall Street and often carried out by aggressive hedge funds.
"Hedge funds acting through collaborating market makers can create huge numbers of counterfeit shares that can overwhelm buying demand. They have turned it into a casino and everyone knows the house always wins in that scenario."
