GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE TECH LEADERS EQUITY ETF Stock Discussion

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?!

Goldman Sachs has apparently decided to take on ARK Invest in the market for innovation-focused exchanged traded funds.
$GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE TECH LEADERS EQUITY ETF(GTEK.US)$ is an actively managed fund that will invest in listed technology companies with market capitalizations of less than $100 billion, across both developed and emerging markets.
There are two differences between $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$ and $GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE TECH LEADERS EQUITY ETF(GTEK.US)$ . 
For one thing, the new Goldman fund is targeting small-cap and midcap stocks. That would rule out some names in the ARK fund, which has almost 10% of its assets in $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ .
Another thing is that the Goldman fund also intends to cast a wide net, with nearly half of the holdings in companies based outside the U.S., and 25% to 35% in emerging markets.
Katie Koch, co-head of the Fundamental Equity business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said in a statement. “We believe the dominant tech franchises in 10 years will be very different from the platforms we all know today.
After vaulting up the ranks of the U.S. exchange-traded fund leaderboard, Ark Investment Management is starting to slip. 
With about $42.4 billion in its ETFs, Cathie Wood’s firm now ranks as the 11th largest issuer by assets, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. Dropped out from the list of top 10 ETF on this Tuesday.
$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$ has fallen over 5% this year -- after soaring nearly 150% in 2020.

Asian stocks set for steady start; Treasuries slip
Asian stocks looked set for a steady open Friday as traders weighed risks from China to the global recovery. Treasury yields rose and the dollar stayed higher following surprise strength in U.S. retail sales.
Futures edged up in Japan and Hong Kong but dipped in Australia, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts slipped. U.S. stocks closed mostly lower after swinging between gains and losses ahead of Friday's quarterly expiration of options and futures, which can trigger volatility.
U.S. Steel to build $3 billion mill with record rally enduring
US Steel Corp will spend about $3 billion to build a new mill, the latest sign that steelmakers are growing more comfortable that higher prices will last. U.S. Steel's comes as domestic futures prices have more than tripled in the past year.
While this has produced a windfall for domestic suppliers, its driving up the cost of everything from automobiles to wind turbines to kitchen appliances as the world recovers from the pandemic.
Retail sales post surprise gain as consumers show strength despite delta fears
Retail sales posted a surprise gain in August despite fears that escalating Covid cases and supply chain issues would hold back consumers, the Census Bureau reported Thursday.
Retail sales rose 0.7% in August versus expectations for a 0.8% decline. Excluding autos, sales increased 1.8% versus the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.1% gain. Weekly jobless claims increased to 332,000 versus the estimate for 320,000.
Rising shipping costs are companies' latest inflation riddle
Transportation costs—typically a fraction of a finished product's price—are emerging as another supply-chain hurdle, overwhelming some companies already paying more for raw materials and labor.
"I think the inflationary pressures are being juiced by the surge in transportation costs," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. Using rough estimates, he said that consumer prices have risen 5.3% in the past year and that transportation costs contributed about 10% of that rise.
Elon Musk's SpaceX launches first all-civilian flight to orbit
Musk's SpaceX on Wednesday evening launched four civilians toward the deepest orbit Americans have traveled to in more than a decade, in another milestone flight for private space travel. The capsule is slated to return to Earth after about three days, splashing down off the coast of Florida.
The space flight Wednesday marks new terrain for a commercial space industry that has attracted entrepreneurs and investors who are betting on an expanding set of business opportunities beyond Earth.
The iPhone 13 is already showing strong early sales in China, local media reports say
More Chinese consumers are rushing to order $Apple(AAPL.US)$’s latest iPhone now than last year, according to a South China Morning Post report published Thursday. More than 2 million pre-orders have been placed for the iPhone 13 through Apple’s official store on $JD.com(JD.US)$, the paper reported. That's compared with last year's 1.5 million pre-orders of the iPhone 12 on the same site, it added.
Goldman follows Cathie Wood's Ark with new tech-focused active ETF
Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs has launched an actively managed equity fund that will bet on emerging technology companies, following a trail blazed by the blockbuster success of Cathie Wood's Ark Invest.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management said on Thursday its $GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE TECH LEADERS EQUITY ETF(GTEK.US)$ will own 60 to 80 listed global tech names that have a market capitalisation of less than $100bn. The ETF will focus on emerging chipmakers, software, financial technology and cyber security groups.
Big Tech's buyback bonanza demands closer attention
$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ earmarked $60bn this week to buy back its own stock. The software company's recent repurchases already put it on pace to exhaust the money in little more than two years.
Yet tech's buyback bonanza demands closer attention at a time when big new tech markets have been opening up. Much of corporate America is under fire for diverting its spare cash into share repurchases, rather than increasing investment and risk-taking. For all but the richest tech companies, the same concerns are hard to ignore.
