Meme madness, 68 new highs: superlatives abound in 26% S&P rally
Superlatives followed one after another in 2021's wild ride for U.S. stock investors. The most all-time highs in 26 years. Triple-digit rallies in some small caps thanks to retail-trader frenzies.
S&P 500's steady march higher has helped push it to a fresh record 68 times this year, the second-most ever, topped only by 1995. Put another way, the S&P managed a record close on nearly 30% of all trading days in 2021.

Online shopping surged 11%, according to the report, which tracks retail sales across all payment types. E-commerce now accounts for roughly 21% of all holiday sales.

'Bubblicious' used car prices are rising faster than bitcoin, market researcher Jim Bianco warns
Used auto prices are rising faster than bitcoin and other assets, according to market researcher Jim Bianco.
"In the last four months, they've gone up in price more than 20%. Not only is that more than the S&P, but over the last four months that's more than bitcoin itself," he said. "As of December 15, the latest set of data we've got, they're just accelerating higher and higher right now. There's no peak at least as of now."
In hot job market, salaries start to swell for white-collar workers
U.S. professionals toward the end of this year saw their compensation jump at the fastest rate in nearly 20 years, federal data show. Wages for all private-sector workers grew 4.6% year over year in the third quarter, according to federal data, with the biggest gains going to workers in service occupations and industries such as retail and hospitality.
For management, business and financial occupations, wages rose 3.9% in the quarter, slower than overall wage growth but still the fastest pace on record since 2003 for this bucket of workers.
Bill Gates: People's distrust of governments is the most worrying issue into 2022
In a 2019 poll of American adults, 75% of respondents said their fellow citizens' trust in the federal government was shrinking. And about four in ten respondents thought the mistrust made it harder to handle issues like health care, immigration and gun violence.
In Gates' blog post, he noted that 24-hour news cycles, politically incentivized headlines and social media have each played a role in the "growing divide" — and that governments may need regulate online platforms to effectively dispel misinformation.

The fear and greed index was developed by CNNMoney to measure two of the primary emotions that influence how much investors are willing to pay for stocks.
The fear and greed index is measured on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. In theory, the index can be used to gauge whether the stock market is fairly priced. This is based on the logic that excessive fear tends to drive down share prices, and too much greed tends to have the opposite effect.
Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.
---Warren Buffett
Fear & Greed Index
What emotion is driving the market?
Junk Bond Demand: Extreme Greed
Investors in low quality junk bonds are accepting 1.73 percentage points in additional yield over safer investment grade corporate bonds. While this spread is historically high, it is sharply lower than recent prices and suggests that investors are pursuing higher risk strategies.
Last changed Dec 3 from a Greed rating.
Market Momentum: Greed
The S&P 500 is 4.51% above its 125-day average. This is further above the average than has been typical during the last two years and indicates greed on the part of investors.
Last changed Dec 21 from a Fear rating.
Market Volatility: Neutral
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is at 18.63. This is a neutral reading and indicates that market risks appear low.
Last changed Dec 6 from an Extreme Fear rating.

$.SPX.US$ $TSLA.US$ $AAPL.US$

The stock market sees a big recovery rally on Tuesday, with the major indexes recouping some losses after three consecutive sessions of declines. 
$.IXIC.US$ fared best out of the major indexes, closing up 2.4%. 
$.SPX.US$ also fared well, notching a gain of 1.8%. It managed to close above the key 50-day moving average. 
$.DJI.US$ lagged the other major indexes, but still managed to close up more than 550 points as it rose 1.6%.
Indeed it's good news for most of the investors. But why was the market keep running up and down in recent days? 
Is there any important news that is responsible for the upward trend?
Or the most significant threat has been eliminated?
Would you comment and tell mooers about your thoughts？
