$Boeing (BA.US)$ Qantas and Singapore Airlines have decided to buy Airbus, which is not good news for Boeing.

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

Asian stocks set for mixed start after U.S. drop
Asian stocks looked set for a mixed start Friday following a decline in U.S. shares led by the technology sector as tightening monetary policy to fight inflation buffets investor sentiment.
Australian equities edged up, while futures pointed lower for Japan and were little changed for Hong Kong. The tech-heavy $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ sank the most since September, skidding on reduced appetite for more richly valued investments amid the Fed's pivot toward scaling back outsized stimulus. U.S. equity contracts wavered in early Asian trading.
Apple leads big tech lower as investors reconsider Fed moves
Megacap tech names initially saw a positive reaction to the Fed's statement on Wednesday, with investors buying up shares of $Apple (AAPL.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ and $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$, among others. But those stocks came under pressure Thursday, erasing most or all of their gains.
Apple shares declined 3.9% on Thursday, with the iPhone maker retreating further from a $3 trillion market valuation as it posted its worst day since March. Among other names, Microsoft fell 2.9%, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ slid 2.6%, and Nvidia shed 6.8%.

A pair of teenagers helps launch ETF targeting youngest traders
An exchange-traded fund tracking U.S. companies that adhere to the values of Generation Z starts trading on Thursday.
The $THE GENERATION Z ETF (ZGEN.US)$ tracks a portfolio of "future-focused companies that align with Generation Z," according to a press release. It will trade under the ticker ZGEN and charge a fee of 0.6%, the fund's website says.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau probing 'buy now, pay later' companies, including Affirm, Klarna
The bureau issued orders seeking information from the firms that would help it examine concerns such as the kind of role these ' buy now, pay later' plans play in increasing consumers' debt and how these companies use consumer data, the agency said.
The CFPB said the ease of getting these plans can mean consumers end up spending more than anticipated. $Affirm Holdings (AFRM.US)$ dopped 10.6% on Thursday.
Rivian shares slide after company cuts 2021 EV production expectations
$Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ said it expects to fall "a few hundred vehicles short" of its 2021 production target of 1,200 vehicles. The company said it faced supply chain issues as well as challenges ramping up production of the complex batteries that power the vehicles.
The updates come alongside Rivian's first quarterly report as a public company and confirmation of plans for a new $5 billion plant in Georgia that's expected to come online in 2024.
Millennial millionaires plan to add more crypto in 2022, CNBC Millionaire Survey finds
Most millennial millionaires have the bulk of their wealth in crypto, and they're planning to add more in 2022 despite the recent price declines, according to the CNBC Millionaire Survey.
Fully 83% of millennial millionaires own cryptocurrencies, according to the survey. The crypto holdings of millennial millionaires stand in stark contrast to older generations of millionaires, and could create a new dilemma for wealth management firms and how they work with clients.
Netflix slashes India prices in battle with Amazon, Disney
$Netflix (NFLX.US)$ this week said in a blog post from India executive Monika Shergill that it is cutting its basic plan in India by 60% to 199 rupees, equivalent to $2.61, a month. Netflix also lowered prices on its least expensive plan and most expensive plan.
Despite the price cuts, Netflix is still more expensive than competitors. Netflix has some 5 million subscribers in India, according to data from consulting firm Media Partners Asia, far fewer than Amazon Prime Video's 19 million and $Disney (DIS.US)$ Disney+ Hotstar's 46 million.

$Boeing (BA.US)$ Every time Boeing falls, I buy more, the more it falls, the more I buy. From 270, I have been buying all the way down. After 9 months of decline, I finally realized that I should sell when it rebounds a little! This company is full of problems, both in the military and civilian sectors, and has no future!

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:

Hey, mooers! Here are things you need to know before the opening bell:
- Stock futures rose early Monday after the S&P 500 notched its best week since February at a fresh record close, rebounding from a big sell-off triggered by fears of the omicron coronavirus variant.
- Apple shares have been on a ferocious tear, up 34% year to date, leaving it less than 5% away from a $3 trillion market capitalization, a milestone never hit by any other public company. The rally includes a startling 18% spurt in just the past four weeks, a period in which the S&P 500 has improved less than 2%.
