Yahoo Finance's Jared Blikre speaks with former New York Stock Exchange floor governor Jay Woods about the markets.

Hot money flows are heating up some familiar sectors (and a few new ones), as investors pile into electric vehicle names (TSLA, NIO, XPEV), along with stocks in the cannabis (MJ, ACB, APHA), cloud (ZM, ZS), crypto (BTC-USD, ETH-USD) and new-IPO (DASH, ABNB, SNOW) spaces in a year-end sprint for the green finish line.

When a former New York Stock Exchange floor governor, Jay Woods, talks market microstructure, secular trends in liquidity, and implications for modern traders in a year of record-high volatility, investors ought to take notice. When Woods, a Chartered Market Technician (CMT), throws in an update of the riveting tale of his son (a/k/a, "The Wizard") and his journey into the investing world vís-a-vís a trial-by-fire trade in Tesla (TSLA) stock — that's prime time webinar material.

Woods joins us Tuesday, December 8 at 2:00 p.m. ET (FREE registration) for the latest Yahoo Finance Premium webinar. We'll deconstruct the modern markets, taking viewers on a rip roaring blast through the past 30 years and examining how we got sucked into the fastest bear market in history — only to soar to fresh all-time highs in the midst of a second pandemic wave.

We'll do a deep dive into the factors affecting market liquidity overtime, such as:

Transformation of open outcry to electronic trading

High-frequency trading

Decimalization

Bank regulation (e.g., Dodd-Frank)

Easy monetary and fiscal policy

We'll explore the Robinhood effects from retail investors clamoring for hot issues and from the brokerage firm selling client order flow, as well as the increased volatility being priced in around the Georgia Senate race runoff elections in early January. And we'll also demonstrate how to unlock maximum value from Yahoo Finance Premium with actionable Investment Ideas, portfolio analysis and risk management.

We're going to kick it all off with a deep dive into Tesla, as investors brace for its first day of trading as a component of the S&P 500 index (^GSPC) on December 21.

Now, more than ever, investors need to shore up on the basics, as markets are increasingly punishing investors who have bad trading habits. Woods breaks down his time-tested market mantras, such as "Know your timeframe. Know your risk."
