The hottest investment theme today is not cryptocurrency trading, but the "Metaverse".
I am not a big fan of buying crypto as an investment but I said the investment opportunities will emerge from the ecosystem surrounding cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. And I believe Metaverse is one of them.
I think Metaverse is moving our digital life to a new level by integrating many latest technologies. The metaverse will be right at the new frontier of human digital evolution, because it puts together all the latest innovations such as blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), etc.
What is the Metaverse?
The metaverse is a combination of two words: “meta” and “verse”. Meta means “beyond”, Verse means universe.
The word “Metaverse” was first coined by author Neal Stephenson in his 1992 science fiction novel "Snow Crash". In the book, the Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space.
If it is hard to imagine, take a look at the trailer of the 2018 movie“Ready Player One”, then you will have some ideas.
In today's context, the Metaverse is a digital reality that combines aspects of social media, online gaming, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and cryptocurrencies to allow users to interact virtually. It is a “universe” where people interact with each other not in real person, but virtually.
Today, I think to many people, the metaverse may still sound like science fiction, but human advancement always starts with dreams. The 1980s “Back to the Future" series was one of my favourite movies, and most of the things that appeared in the movie have become reality today.

I’m a long term investor so these are just some of the lessons I’ve learnt from my limited experience with day trading. I will also give a brief overview of the VWAP indicator which is often used by day traders.
Lessons Learnt
1) Trade when the mind is clear and alert
Do not trade when you’re feeling sleepy, tired, unwell or troubled. This is especially true when trading in a foreign market with time zone differences. Day trading requires snap decisions and you can’t make those decisions if you are feeling poorly.
2) Play small
Limit the amount invested to a small percentage of your capital so it wouldn’t hurt if it is lost entirely. This is important as there is no such thing as a hundred percent success rate.
3) Plan your entry and exit
Set target profit and stop loss when entering a trade. This helps you to know when to exit. Do not hesitate or second guess yourself. Capital preservation is important.
4) A good knowledge of technical indicators is required
This enables one to spot and interpret the signals. Using a number of technical indicators helps to confirm the signal and improve the probability of wins.
VWAP Indicator
VWAP stands for volume-weighted average price. It is basically the average trading price of a stock after taking into account the volume. The formula is VWAP = number of shares x typical price divided by the total number of shares. Since VWAP is calculated from previous prices, there will be a lag which becomes bigger throughout the day. VWAP is reset each day.
How to view VWAP in Moomoo:
In Detailed Quotes, click on Chart Settings > Indicators > VWAP.
Make sure VWAP is checked. You can modify the colour if you wish.
Once this is done, return to the chart. You can click VWAP at the bottom of the chart (portrait mode) or on the right hand side of the chart (landscape mode). In the pictures below, VWAP is the yellow line.
How To Use VWAP Indicator
A rising VWAP shows that buyers have more control, a declining VWAP shows that sellers have more control and a flat VWAP means the stock is trading within a range. When the price is above VWAP, it is in the overbought zone and when the price is below VWAP, it is in the oversold zone.
VWAP can be used to establish support and resistance price levels. In general, traders try to trade close to VWAP in anticipation of a bounce off (long) or a decline (short). Institutional investors use VWAP as a benchmark when planning their entries and exits to minimise their effect on the market price. So do companies when they do share buybacks e.g. $Apple(AAPL.US)$ .
It is a good idea to use VWAP in conjunction with other technical indicators such as MACD, RSI and Stochastic to confirm the signal before executing a trade. Use a paper account to practise and test out your strategies before risking any real money.

$Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$ This Tue is IPO for Rivian, another new EV player in the share market with super huge potential. the 2 reasons why I think so are:
1. Although EV too, it is mainly in trucks and vans segment, so differentiate itself from Tesla and Lucid, hence no direct competition. And with its strong backing, should be taking majority of that pie.
2. It is back by Amazon and Ford, with orders already placed by Amazon for 50,000(I think) delivery trucks. I’m sure this is just the beginning. With worldwide network, Amazon will no doubt provide these trucks to all places where their business covers. Since Ford is invested heavily in it too, I’m sure Ford will provide necessary technical support if the needs arise. While Ford may not be experienced in EV technology, it is still adequate to assist in car making knowledge with their century long experience in automobile. Will avoid many unnecessary pit falls which is crucial to survive in long run. Tesla almost bankrupt because of lack of experience in some ways.
So I really think it’s worth investing partially in Rivian too, besides Lucid. The IPO price will be high, 3rd most expensive IPO to date but we can extrapolate from history that IPO price will always surge up by a lot then fall below their initial price.
So those who want to buy the surge, buy lesser amount, something you are prepared to hold if for unknown reason, it plunge down instead, and set trailing stop function or stop price to auto sell when it falls from its high price.
For those who want to just hold for long, wait for the price to come down again after the surge and buy in batches since we don’t know how long it will fall before picking up. This way you don’t miss the uptrend nor buy still at a high price and have to wait for it to recover first and lose potential gain.
i will be doing both methods, to gain from the initial surge then buy back again when it has fall to a low price. This is just my take, please do your own research to decide, don’t just base on my words. Cheers!

whats going on with ZOM? can I ever break even or is this only going to be a pump and dump?

Today, Musk tweets an ancient Chinese poem--<Seven Steps Verse>.
Do you know what it means?
At first, I want to show u the translation:
<The Brothers>
They were boiling beans on a beanstalk fire;
Came a plaintive voice from the pot,
"O why, since we sprang from the selfsame root,
Should you kill me with anger hot?"
And then, I'll tell u the story：
The highly allegorical poem describes the relationship between two brothers from a royal family during China's warring Three Kingdoms period. The brothers are Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
Cao Pi was jealous of his brother Cao Zhi's literary talent and ordered him to write a poem within seven steps, containing the meaning of brotherhood but without the word "brother", or else he would be executed.
Cao Zhi made this poem on the subject of boiling beans to express the sorrow of brotherhood, and eventually Cao Pi released him because he was ashamed of himself.
How to interpret Musk's posts？
Number 1: Musk was alluding to two rivaling dog-themed cryptocurrencies, shiba inu and dogecoin.
Number 2：<Humankind> is a game. Maybe the poem is Musk's feelings after playing the game.
Just watch the video of<Humankind>
