"staying nimble in the stock market is of paramount importance"
@Cow Moo-ney :
"Despite the bearish market, my long term investment more or less remains the same, by and large is the buy and hold strategy. The only change or tweak I had is that I am more cautious than last year.
Going long doesn’t reap you immediate profits especially in a bear market / market crisis. But going short will.
There are various option strategies out there. Once again, simplicity does the trick for me, and works for me."

"Once again, I'd made so much money"
@Milk The Cow :
"1.Where's your money? Did you have a big loss?
I'm holding a portion of my money. 
Yes, I've quite some losses in the short-term (I guess) for my portfolio.
2.How did you survive?
I survived emotionally through doing things I like (hobbies), instead of taking out my frustration  on others + reflecting on any mistakes I'd made."

"慢慢的实现2022年投资计划" (Achieve my 2022 investment goals step by step)
@steady Pom pipi :
"我通过moomoo官方账号 @moomoo Learn @moomoo TA Cici @Meta Moo 学习到更多股票知识以及投资技巧，这可以让我在投资过程中减少损失。当然要在实际操作中熟练的运用所有这些知识并非易事，我还要更多的时间来练习。目前我倾向于技术分析来买入股票，我需要更加的熟练。技术分析看似简单，但我发现有很多细节需要注意，需要非常了解才能及时做出决定。
我发现一些非常严重的问题，那就是情绪交易，和买入大量的股票。当我买入多只个股，我没有办法去查看每个个股的图表技术分析。这时市场下跌时我会紧张而迫不及待执行DCA买入。哈哈哈，我需要更多的控制我自己保持冷静。"

"Turned a 37% loss into 44% gain in a bear market using covered calls"
@doctorpot1 :
"TLDR: Got 1 share of $ContextLogic(WISH.US)$ from Moo Moo on 3 Dec 2021 when it was $3.20. Then it crashed to $2, so I bought 99 more and sold covered call on it, hoping to exit with a tiny gain. Still stuck with the shares and is now at a 44% gain and growing.
Story time
In this volatile bear market, I do have quite a few profitable positions in Moo Moo because I used a covered call option strategy. This allows me to lower my average cost while riding out the bear market.
There are a number of position that is in paper loss status though, however over time using this covered call option strategy, it will eventually turn profitable*."

"Faster, Further, and Fragile"
@PREMOSULTRAA :
"Top five portfolio ideas for the second half of the year:
1. Build portfolio resilience with diversifiers.
2. Be defensive on equity exposure late in an economic cycle.
3. Add to fixed-income holdings judiciously in a rising-rate (and inflationary) environment.
4. Match cash allocations to time horizon.
5. Seek to mitigate downside risk with alternative investments, including hedge funds."
