Welcome back Mooers!
In today discussion, we will be highlighting some special events that had happen in the past 5 trading days (31 Jan 2022 to 4 Feb 2022).
Without further ado, let’s begin!
On 31 Jan 2022, which is Lunar New Year’s eve, we see $Apple(AAPL.US)$ reach an ATH (all time high) revenue record of $123.9 billion for its fiscal ended on 25 Dec 2021. This record is way above the $118.6 billion revenue estimates by more t...

Meta Platforms (FB) $Meta Platforms(FB.US)$
This one shouldn’t come as a surprise. The company formerly known as Facebook is one of the main reasons why everyone is talking about metaverse today.
Shares have climbed 24% this year to $326 apiece. If that’s too steep, you can use a popular investing app to buy fractions of shares with as much money as you are willing to spend.
Nvidia (NVDA) $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$
Nvidia shares have more than doubled year-to-date.
And since the company is famous for its powerful graphics chips, Cramer sees Nvidia as a key metaverse play.
In the three months ended Oct. 31, Nvidia’s revenue soared 50% year-over-year to a record $7.1 billion. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.17 per share, up 60% from a year ago.
Roblox (RBLX) $Roblox(RBLX.US)$
This game developer enables users to make block-based worlds and games without needing to know how to code. It also allows creators to get paid through an in-game currency called Robux.
In Q3, the platform had 47.3 million average daily active users, up 31% year-over-year. Revenue rose 102% year-over-year to $509.3 million.
Unity Software (U) $Unity Software(U.US)$
This video game software developer recently acquired the visual effects studio behind the Avatar and Lord of the Rings movies — and Cramer is keen.In Q3, Unity earned $286.3 million of revenue, representing a 43% increase year-over-year. The company also generated $34.2 million of free cash flow, which more than tripled the $10.9 million it generated in the year-ago period.

$Meta Platforms(FB.US)$ 2:18 pm EST mark it 6.5 mil synthetic long

$Future FinTech(FTFT.US)$ This is why this stock gets brutalized. Hedges don’t like to screw eachother over if they can rape retail instead. $SOS Ltd(SOS.US)$  $Vinco Ventures(BBIG.US)$ are other examples of less than 10% IO. Stocks with 70%+ IO rarely get molested by these predators. You should ALWAYS check IO on a stock. You find it under summary tab.

2021 is the year where I finally took the plunge to open an account with MooMoo and subsequently enter the US market. While I have definitely missed out on some craziest rides in $AMC Entertainment(AMC.US)$  $GameStop(GME.US)$ , these misses made me realize the importance of investing in the correct market. My own trades to date like $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)$ , $Micron Technology(MU.US)$ have yielded decent results and is a validation that good companies will always shine in the end. It also marks my 1st foray into options, which looks like it is gonna go bust come expiry date. It is a reminder for me to not be greedy and always take profit when given the chance.
bad call purchase😭

$Meta Platforms(FB.US)$ The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an in-depth investigation into Meta Platforms' $400 million acquisition of Developer Supernatural, a move that is expected to delay the completion of the deal. Supernatural is a VR fitness app for American AR/VR content manufacturer Within. The app mimics the membership system of a real gym and operates like a rhythm game, allowing users to work out at different levels using virtual trainers and musical rhythms.

2021 is awesome because I started my investment journey... I selected Moo Moo as my desired investment platform due to several reasons, 1) Moo Moo offers user friendly interface, 2) lots of news, short quick articles and videos to level up my investment knowledge, 3) low charge fees for trading, and 4) offers free stocks! The journey so far using Moo Moo has been exceptionally pleasant.
For my investment portfolio, I diversify on several fronts.
I actively invest in Bank stocks including $OCBC Bank(O39.SG)$, $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SG)$, $UOB(U11.SG)$, which provide for great gains and dividends.
For Reits, I would recommend $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SG)$, $CapLand Ascendas REIT(A17U.SG)$, $Suntec Reit(T82U.SG)$ and $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SG)$. Good source of high dividends.
Other SG stocks include $ST Engineering(S63.SG)$ and $SGX(S68.SG)$ are worth considering.
For US stocks, $Apple(AAPL.US)$ is definitely a good stock to invest in. I would expect the stock to rise further with the excitement over the release of the Apple Car in the near future. In the upcoming hype of the electric cars, stocks such as $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$, $Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ would probably gain traction over time. I previously bought NIO with the believe that the stock would soar in time.
For the HK market, $BABA-SW(09988.HK)$ and $ICBC(01398.HK)$ are my targets. Alibaba is currently very much undervalued, thus expecting it to increase soon after recovery from its nosedive for a period.
All of the above stocks, I am adopting the long term investment mentality to gradually increase the volume for high dividend returns.
Patience and diligence is what I learnt through the process as I spent many days observing the stock trends to determine when would be the best time to enter the market.
With uncertainty over news of the Omicron variant, stocks seem to be bearish during this time, I see it as an opportunity to buy more during the dip. So far, I am happy with the performance of all my investment, laying the foundation for growth as the economy gradually recovers.
One cool thing I did was to sell the Twitter stock and use whatever funds to buy a biotech stock, $Longeveron(LGVN.US)$. This was the only one off instance that I traded based on luck with the strike lottery mindset. As in times of covid, biotech stocks tend to be rocketing high dynamically within a day. I made a decent profit out of it when the stock shot up. This was quite an experience.
Hope for all to invest well and into a Great 2022 ahead!

I literally sit and watch daily how all of my growth stocks that are leaders in their industries get absolutely bad.
If I remove FAANG and Banks from my portfolio, I am at all time lows, anyone else?
What will people in similar situation do? One can DCA so much..
Rough life...
