Can't Stop, Won't Stop, GameStop
Yields keep climbing, tech stocks keeps crashing (is this the Dotcom crash of 2022?), EU sets new high score on daily virus cases, France is fining big tech, Ghislaine Maxwell might get the OJ Simpson acquittal, the metaverse is poppin' with 2M Oculus downloads, Bently sales are off the chain as the rich keep getting richer, and GAMESTOP WENT PARABOLIC ON NEWS THAT IT WILL ENTER THE NFT AND CRYPTO MARKETS.
ARKK Is Sinking
ARKK hits its lowest price since September 2020, Interest rates keep climbing, Fed plans more aggressive tapering, Rivian drops 10% (but is still worth infinity x sales), Fauci says omicron ain't too bad, Meta fights back against the UK ruling on Giphy, Bitcoin hasn't been a great inflation hedge, (but 1 BTC is still 1 BTC), and Warren Buffett quotes are everywhere as tech investors get wrecked.

Rich Ape Yacht Club
Growth investors bought the dip but it keeps on dipping, value stocks are ripping, bond yields are booming, bank stocks are cruising, Toyota passed GM as America's #1 automaker, everyone is quitting their jobs, Evergrande has more bad news, Monkey JPGs hit $1B in sales, and Ford plans to double production for electric trucks ⚡️

🩸 Bad Blood
Markets closed at ATHs 100% of days in 2022 so far, Apple is worth $3 trillion, Elizabeth Holmes was found guilty (but in 2021 Theranos would have been a great SPAC merger), Prince Andrew got caught in Epstein's web, Starbucks told employees get vaccinated or get out, another Pfizer booster got approved, and Tesla stock is once again a rocket ship.

Welcome to 2020, Round 3
Markets crushed it during a pandemic for the second straight year. Let's see if 2022 can pull the three-peat. Banks start off the year working from home. Twitter suspended another politician. Tesla crushed earnings again. United is tripling pilot pay. Omicron, inflation, and monetary policy as the buzz words to start 2022 (what's new).

Goodbye 2021
Stocks turned red on Thursday, leaving us with one more day to finish this Santa rally. Weekly job claims hit the lowest point in 52 years (workers have leverage, go get the raise you deserve 🤝). Michael Saylor doubles down on the world's biggest Bitcoin YOLO. Biden and Putin talked about Ukraine. Goldman Sachs dominated M&A in 2021. Social media is about to be filled with New Years resolutions that will be over by January 10th.

S&P and Covid Hit All-Time Highs
The S&P 500 hit all-time high number 70 of the year (ruining a perfect year at 69). What else hit an all-time high? US covid cases. Minimum wages are climbing, but employers are raising pay even faster. Justice was served in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. China is trying to shut down democracy in Hong Kong. Turkish Lira can't stop crashing. The 2021 IPO market started off hot, but the sector is now giving up gains everywhere.

Apple Engineers Got PAID
The S&P 500 did not break all-time high number 69. Can we finish the year without hitting 70? We hope so. The CDC cut the covid isolation period from 10 to 5 days. The Nasdaq is on pace to underperform the S&P 500 for the first time in six years. Apple is offering $180k bonuses to keep Meta from poaching its engineers (so y'all should probably ask for a raise too). We lost a coaching, broadcasting, and video game legend with the passing of John Madden yesterday.
