The past week has been a dark period in the history of crypto, with the total market capitalization of this industry dipping as low as $1.2 trillion for the first time since July 2021. The turmoil, in large part, has been due to the real-time disintegration of $Terra(LUNA.CC)$.
Last week, Terra has officially stopped block production as the blockchain's native token hit a low of $0.0003, near zero.
In a tumble start...

$CrowdStrike(CRWD.US)$ Yamato: The first coverage of CrowdStrike (CRWD.O) is rated as outperforming the market, with a target price of US$224.
$argenx SE(ARGX.US)$ Truist Securities: Increased the target price of Argenx (ARGX.O) from US$350 to US$365.
$Pfizer(PFE.US)$ Cantor Fitzgerald: Raise the target price of Pfizer (PFE.US) from US$61 to US$75

My 2021 investment journey has been rock and roll so far. Here are some of the few stocks that I bought (and/or sold to book profit). Most of them have rewarded me decently.
$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$   $Tesla(TSLA.US)$   $BlackBerry(BB.US)$   $Apple(AAPL.US)$   $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US)$   $Applied Materials(AMAT.US)$   $Ford Motor(F.US)$   $Alibaba(BABA.US)$   $Cisco(CSCO.US)$   $Tata Motors(TTM.US)$   $Fiverr International(FVRR.US)$   $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$   $American Airlines(AAL.US)$   $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$   $Nokia Oyj(NOK.US)$   $Thermo Fisher Scientific(TMO.US)$   $Qualcomm(QCOM.US)$   $Intel(INTC.US)$ 
There are lots of ups and downs but it was good, as at every point of time, I have actually learnt something.
Stock market is like an ocean of knowledge. I get to learn something new at each and every step I take. It teaches me how to stay disciplined with my own money!
So far, I have enjoyed investing in this volatile market and I think this is the best time for anyone to enter the market and make some smart investments which can definitely pay off in the future. Remember, only invest what you can afford to lose!
I think my best investment by far is my education which has lead me to where I am today. It made me capable enough that I not only earn for myself but can help others too.
The majority of my investment is in the real estate followed by stocks, mutual funds, cryptocurrency and investing in watches.
Real estate is the other success story for me where I think I gained the best, while the rest of my investments also did reasonably well in 2021.
I believe in a well-diversified portfolio as it will expose me to much more opportunities for returns, while safeguarding against adverse market cycles.
I always believe in spending wisely than just investing for accumulating wealth. Whatever I earn, I try my best to utilise very wisely.
Summation of my stock market journey:
Markets are forever.
There should be no compulsion to trade every day.
Taking care of losses is essential.
Patience pays.
Wealth is a two-way road and one should learn to make it one way. Wealthy are those who learned the concept of keeping invested in liquid assets.
I have seen many people entering the stock markets looking for profits. Some will get quick profits in initial days and once they start losing money, they leave the markets. My suggestion would be, do not leave the markets. Stock markets are the biggest Teachers.
If trading is not your cup of tea, go for investing. Investments in stock markets give you returns which no one can ever provide. Thus, please exercise patience and stay long in the markets.
The bargain hunter in me automatically makes me a value investor. Eg, I will abruptly transit to buying something on sale, from buying something I had originally planned to get, when I feel they are on a super sale.
Always understand the difference between price and value. When you pay too high for a good business, you turn a great business into a poor investment. This turns your greatest advantage into greatest disadvantage. No matter how good the stock is, always buy at a bargain.

In 2021, moomoo became the place where investors could share their opinions and communicate freely with each other. The frequent interactions between the enthusiastic mooers have positively impacted the community. Mooers are moving in the same direction: making profits and improving themselves. It would take a long time and great effort for our dear mooers to achieve these goals. Why don't we take a look at ten of the year's valuable market insights and investing tips?
Spoiler: There's a chance to get points if you read till the end.
*The selected articles are listed randomly.
ONE: Is investing in Trump's new merger a good idea?
@HuatLadywrote about his concerns on the merger of Trump's company and a SPAC called the Digital World Acquisition Corp. We have to admit that he has a point!
"Forgive me for predicting that most likely his company's stock will not be viable for long term investment goal."
View more: Will Donald be able to deal his Trump Card?
TWO: What do you think of meme stocks?
@Machiavellis3rdEyeused vivid language to call for rational investing and remind mooers to watch out for media manipulations. Do you agree with him?
"You ARE ALL MY ALLIES, regardless of your investment choices, politics, religions, colors, sex, or anything else! I say we start learning and adapting to their constantly evolving illegal games (media manipulation, PFOF, CB's) together. Then we will all figure out how to take that cheese - without getting TRAPPED."

THREE: What can we learn from the big picture?
@WYCKOFFPROanalyzed the trend of the Russell 2020 with technical tools. Has the market proved his assumptions?
"The breakout of the Russell 2000 gives the first confirmation of the scenario of possible rotation from big cap stocks to small cap stocks."

FOUR: Will the strong momentum of recovery stocks fade?
On Nov 5, Pfizer introduced a new COVID-19 antiviral pill that is expected to treat 89% of acutely hospitalized patients and thus reduce the risk of death. @HuatEveranticipated that Pfizer's share price would continue to climb once the FDA approved the new antiviral pill. What do you think?
"They hold the promise of cutting down the risk of severe Covid 19 ailments, hospitalisation stays and even deaths, and if being taken at the early onsets of infection. "

FIVE: EV stocks skyrocketing: Good buy or goodbye?
@Deviltonconducted an in-depth analysis on one of the most popular stocks, $Rivian, and pointed out that patience is a virtue in trading.
"Human are always impatient, we will always have FOMO if we sit and wait till Friday, scared that it stops falling and starts to rise again. Yet buying all tomo may not allow you to buy at the best price." View more here.
SIX: How do you decide when to buy/sell?
@HopeAlwayssaid that there is no best way to determine when to buy and when to sell the stocks of indexes. The timings depend on investing goals, philosophies, and personal preferences.
"The three main risks are company, valuation and earnings risks. Once we are able to find a stock that that signals low risk based on these three conditions, it is time to buy. Whenever a negative change happens to any of the three conditions,  it is time to sell."
View more: Buying and Selling Stocks
SEVEN: How do you know when to stop loss / take profit?
@Powerhousehas three underlying principles in stopping losses and taking profits. All investors should stay informed and closely observe trends to set price targets.
"For micro, there is a need to determine your present financial risk appetite figuratively. On the macro level, situations may have changed. Determining when is the most precise time to stop loss or take profit of a stock and milk the most out of it is extremely difficult."

EIGHT: What urges you to press the "trade" button?
@Panda2102has done macro research to sort out a list of companies and ranks them from different dimensions.
"The mission statement, the moat, the network effect, the switching cost, low cost advantage, optionality, the ratio for PE, PEG, Cash, Debt, Free Cash flow and the ownership of the company."
View more: Best time to press the trade button
NINE: How to build a portfolio with a windfall of $1 million?
@Mars Mooothinks that the Squid Game Multi-Portfolio comprises four parts: player 456, player 218, player 067, and a liquid one.
"The first portfolio is aimed at potential sectors for diversification and profits. The second is designed to high risk lead high returns. The next one intent on helping on thr way. While the last one shows that cash is king."
View more: The Squid Game Multi-Portfolios Portfolio
TEN: How to profit from short-selling?
@Mcsnacks H Tupackshared that short-selling is highly popular on Wall Street and often carried out by aggressive hedge funds.
"Hedge funds acting through collaborating market makers can create huge numbers of counterfeit shares that can overwhelm buying demand. They have turned it into a casino and everyone knows the house always wins in that scenario."

moomoo annual ceremony is happening right now! Check it out here:  2021 in Review: Grow Together to the Moon!

So are growth stocks cool again a lot of the so called unprofitable/overvalued stocks jumped like 5% or more today.
Examples include the cyber security stocks of CRWD $CrowdStrike(CRWD.US)$ , S $SentinelOne(S.US)$ , and NET $Cloudflare(NET.US)$ .

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:

So, you tell me what is the right way?!

$SIA(C6L.SG)$ this is a patience stock so will go up and down very often

$Nokia Oyj(NOK.US)$ is consolidating at this lvl…. breakout sooner or later only!! hope it goes up up up!!

$Pfizer(PFE.US)$ : Pfizer stock climbed 1.3% to 52.08, moving back above a 51.98 cup-base buy point. PFE stock also could be forming a high handle, shelf or other consolidation just above that base. The drug giant is set to pull back this week after seven straight weekly gains, many on above-average volume.
$Broadcom(AVGO.US)$ : Semiconductor and chip stocks have been on fire and $Broadcom(AVGO.US)$ - Get Broadcom Inc. Report is no exception. Broadcom hit a new all-time high earlier this week and while the stock is doing a great job consolidating those gains, investors have their focus on earnings. The company is set to report after the close on Thursday.
👉 The Labor Department will release the November consumer price index at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday. Economists expect the CPI to rise 0.7% vs. October.
🌟 GOOD LUCK TEAM I.S.T. ⏳📈💰

$Nokia Oyj(NOK.US)$
nice inflow but still no momentum. at least didn't go back to nosedive.
