To The Moon

Looking back on the first half of this hardest year, which stock made you lose money until you lost your confidence?

And which stock in the adverse market is still a big bull that brought you a lot of income?

For many Tigers, the first half of 2022 may not have been a good time.

Inflation in the U.S. is at its highest level in nearly 40 years, and the Fed has had no choice but to tighten monetary policy, with the largest rate hike since 1994, and economic expectations are sluggish.

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has fallen about 20% in the first half of the year, the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ is down 28.9% and the $DJIA(.DJI)$ is down 14.8%. The first half of the year for the U.S. stock market could be the worst time since 1970.

The truth is that the stock market is not the only one place which suffered a lot, the U.S. bond market is also down 10.8% so far this year, the worst performance in modern history, as measured by the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund.

On the last day of 2021, Musk sent a twitter which looked down on the U.S. economy: "Predicting macroeconomics is challenging. My hunch is that a recession will arrive around spring or summer 2022, no later than 2023."

In February, the Russia-Ukraine war officially started and global stock markets were hit hard, with all three major U.S. stock indices falling more than 3%.

In March, the $DJIA(.DJI)$ rose 2.3%, $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ gained 3.4% and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 3.6%. And in the first quarter, all three major stock indexes recorded their first quarterly declines since 2020, with the $DJIA(.DJI)$ down 4.6%, the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ down 9.1% and the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ down 5%.

In April, the three major stock indexes continued to fall, with the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ falling 8.8%, the worst single-month performance since the outbreak of the pandemic in Europe and the United States in March 2020; the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell 13.3%, the worst single-month performance since the financial crisis in October 2008; and the d $DJIA(.DJI)$ fell 3.9% in April.

In May, Sell in May and go away demonstrate its courage and power again, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ staged "bear mouth escape" several times, the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ May cumulative decline of 2.05% and the technology stocks sell-off wave continues.

In June, the U.S. stocks seemed to move in unpredictable ways, opening a single week of plummeting and surging markets.

However, rainbows always come after the storm.

According to the market decline data of LPL Financial since 1932, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ index fell by at least 15% midway through the second 6 months after the average return of nearly 24%。
