Do the leap of faith, jump out of the boat and fly to the moon!

Welcome back Mooers.

In today discussion, we will talk about US jobless claims that hit 3-month high.

Last week (10 Jan 2022 to 15 Jan 2022) saw the jobless claims increased from 55,000 to 286,000, which is the highest level since mid-October 2021. This is also the third straight weekly increase in jobless claims.

According to Reuters, the increase may have been influenced by the unfavourable seasonal factors after the holidays, as well as the surge in coronavirus cases. Please click here to view the article.

Hmm, maybe we can take this opportunity to compare a few vaccine companies using the $Futu Holdings Ltd(FUTU.US)$ MooMoo ‘stock compare’ feature?

In the picture shown above, we can see the past 1 year price trends for the three vaccine companies, namely, $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ , $Moderna(MRNA.US)$ and $Novavax(NVAX.US)$ .

At this point of time, we can see that $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ and $Moderna(MRNA.US)$ are generating more revenue than $Novavax(NVAX.US)$ , as shown below.

Back to the topic again, should we stay home or go back to office during this pandemic? My answer will be very simple. Take this opportunity to compare your current job and the new jobs offers, just like what we did, using $Futu Holdings Ltd(FUTU.US)$ MooMoo ‘stock compare’ feature to compare stocks. If the new job offer is better, do the leap of faith, jump out of the boat (current job) and fly to the moon (new job)!

Next, we look at the top 8 active stock options (21 Jan 2022), as shown below:
$Apple(AAPL.US)$
$Tesla(TSLA.US)$
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US)$
$Peloton Interactive(PTON.US)$
$Ford Motor(F.US)$
$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$
$AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$
$Amazon(AMZN.US)$

Please vote which strike price for the $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ stock options you are trading at.

Bull Put spread
For beginners, bull put spread is an options strategy that buy and sell the same number of call options. Usually, one is expecting a rise in the price of the underlying stock.
Both option have the same expiry date and same underlying stock. However, the strike price is different. The put option that being sold will have a higher strike price than the put option that is being bought.

That's all for today, and thank you for your support and likes.
