2021 is another year of violent volatility in the stocks markets globally just like 2020. All of us should therefore brace ourselves for a lot more in 2022 if this trend persists. China-theme Stocks are still relatively weak but I expect them to perform better in 2022 alongside US Stocks I wanted to provide some helpful technical charts, but the best chart by far(at least to me) is a chart of psychology, persuasion and perspective combined into one here:
Happy New Year 2022!

So, you tell me what is the right way?!

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   $Sea(SE.US)$  $Salesforce(CRM.US)$  $CrowdStrike(CRWD.US)$  $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$  $The Trade Desk(TTD.US)$   $Walt Disney(DIS.US)$  $ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF(BITO.US)$  $Luminar Technologies(LAZR.US)$ and $Palantir Technologies(PLTR.US)$ 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 $Futu Holdings Limited(FUTU.US)$  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 🙊

What Happened: Regulatory agencies of China along with the Securities Exchange Commission in the U.S. are negotiating a cooperative method for audit supervision, China Securities Regulatory Commission said in a statement Saturday.
The CSRC also expressed confidence that the parties will be able to find a cooperative path that meets each other's regulatory needs, jointly protect the legitimate rights and interests of global investors, and promote the healthy development of the capital markets of the two countries.
Why It's Important: The CSRC has in the past promised to cooperate with the U.S. over how it supervises the auditing of Chinese companies, which could avert potential delisting of these firms from American exchanges.
The recent statement on the dialogue between the regulators of both nations suggests there could be a resolution to the stalemate over how to keep tabs on the auditors of publicly traded China-based companies here in the U.S.
Chinese companies listed in the U.S. such as $阿里巴巴(BABA.US)$ , $腾讯控股(ADR)(TCEHY.US)$ and $京东(JD.US)$ were already under pressure due to a clampdown by local regulators. They were reprimanded in the past over antitrust issues and misuse of user data.
Earlier this month, reports suggested China is looking to make it mandatory for companies listed in the U.S. and Hong Kong, through the variable entity route, to make their ownership structures more transparent to facilitate regulatory reviews, especially in sectors that are off limits to foreign investment.
These adverse regulatory headlines have hurt even Chinese EV makers listed in the U.S., including $蔚来(NIO.US)$ and $小鹏汽车(XPEV.US)$ .
Indications that Chinese and U.S. regulators are ready to bury the hatchet, therefore, should come as a relief to these companies.

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.

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."

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."

@Mcsnacks H Tupackshared that short-selling is highly popular on Wall Street and often carried out by aggressive hedge funds.
