$Apple(AAPL.US)$
According to sources in the supply chain, Apple's M2 series processors are nearly complete and will be mass-produced using TSMC's 4nm process. In the future, Apple Silicon will upgrade them every 18 months. The M2 processor is expected in the second half of 2022, and the M2 Pro and M2 Max are expected in the first half of 2023. As for apple's new iPhone 14, which will be launched in the second half of 2022, according to industry sources, Apple will introduce two A16 Bionic processors, which will be six core processor architecture, but will be differentiated according to the number of graphics core, support 5G dual-band and the new generation of LPDDR5, WiFi6E and other technical specifications. All will use TSMC 4nm process.

2021 has been a wild and volatile year. I started trading late this year when my friends encourage me and told me that moomoo has sign up rewards. After trading a few months I realised that finding the proper entry point into a stock is crucial as it can determine how much you can gain.
Positions Stats
For stocks like $Meta Platforms(FB.US)$ and  $Pfizer(PFE.US)$ I managed to have positive P/L after one week of acquiring the stock. For others like $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$ and $Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ it’s red for now however I believe in the coming years it will eventually break even and make some gains.

I started using Moomoo just to check out the world of stocks, not wanting to spend any own money as I was too scared and I not little ideas of how to pick good stocks. The free APPL $Apple(AAPL.US)$ stock given by Moomoo was a great encourager to try buying at least cheap stocks to see how it all works since even if I lose I can just sell off my precious 1 share of $Apple(AAPL.US)$ at $145 which was the price when I received the stock. I started to then build up my portfolio and adding more stocks like $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$  $Kaixin Holdings(KXIN.US)$ and other biotech Pharma stocks some actually did really well as I bought them at the bottom and did cost averaging as it went down like $Axsome Therapeutics(AXSM.US)$ which I achieved at least 39% profit😁😁. other stocks I picked up didn’t do quite so well today but had potential to fly the moon before the recent slump. I learning that this roller coaster 🎢 ride will have its ups and downs so I will hang on to see that high in due time! anyways it been a great learning experience with Moomoo without which I will still be standing outside in the world of investing. thank you Moomoo
Positions Details

I started my investment journey in Aug 2021. Been there in both Moomoo and Tiger promotions. Moomoo's app GUI and typesetting won me over with the ease of use. The multitude of functions such as Options Trading, Level 2 quotes and Stock Analysis aided me tremendously in my trading journey. Allow me to recap my five months of learning journey:
****************************************
Chapter 1: Noob Start in Local and My 1st Option Trade  - Aug 2021
My initial strategy is to invest into local market: (1) Invest in Bank and REITS.
"Could be better" Trade: FOMO into dividend bank stock $OCBC Bank(O39.SG)$ and been bag-holding till now. Did not know that after ex-dividend, the stock will usually tank equivalent to dividend amount.
In the same month, I learnt about Options Trading. I made my 1st CSP on $Coinbase(COIN.US)$, and closing early to make a tidy profit. I also learnt that I do not need to maintain full securities to cover CSP as Moomoo allows Margin account to cover the principal.
Transaction
Note: Moomoo is great to support both Cash Secured Puts (CSP) and Covered Calls (CC) which will allow the possible implementation of Wheel Strategy.
******************************************
Chapter 2: Options and it's danger - Sep to Oct 2021
Revised Strategy: (1) Invest in Bank & REITS (2) Income through Selling Puts
I intensified on Options trading specifically on selling puts to generate income. Although CSP provides premium as income stream, there is a risk of unlimited downside if the underlying stock price goes down quickly. This happened to me when $Adobe(ADBE.US)$ tanked from 600+ to 500+.
Learning Point: Be cognisant of unlimited downside risk for selling puts. Learn how to roll down and out if needed. Disclaimer: DYODD
***************************************
Chapter 3: Discovering joy of Scalp Trading - Nov 2021
Enhanced Strategy: (1) Invest in Bank & REITS; (2) Income through Selling Puts; (3) Scalp Trading
I started day trading in Nov. I learnt about basics of technical analysis and uses candlesticks, EMA and VWAP for Scalp trade. In Nov, I made a total of 131 trades with ~1.65 mil in turnover . However, I only made 0.18% in profits which is good enough for me.
Transaction Stats
Good Trade: $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ Took the scalp trade on 3 green 🕯. Exited quickly after 3 mins trade
Learning Points: Separate investment and trading, Curb emotions, do not FOMO, set Stop Limits for both profits and losses, Accept losses gracefully.
***************************************
Chapter 4: Leaps into the future - Dec 2021
Tweaked Strategy: (1) Invest in Bank & REITS; (2) Income through Selling Puts; (3) Scalp Trading and (4) Control future with LEAPS
The last month of 2021 saw extreme volatilities in equity market. My long-term portfolio shrank by 15%. I added another option strategy: LEAPS into my investment plan. LEAPS entails buying long option calls deep into future (1 year or more). I added two stocks that I feel that will rise by Jan 2023: $Palantir(PLTR.US)$ $SoFi Technologies(SOFI.US)$
Tips: Buy ITM LEAPS when the underlying stock price is low or reached certain pressure lines. Disclaimer: DYODD
***************************************
In Summary
It has been a rewarding and fruitful learning journey in investing. Although I missed out the initial QE ride last year, the painful lessons I learnt now in 2021 will be useful for my future trades. I will continue to fine-tune my investment strategy to improve my expertise in 2022.
Many thanks to Moomoo for the great contents such as News, Courses, Seminars etc and not forgetting the selfless sharing of experiences by fellow Moo-ers!!
"Looking forward from Moomoo":
