The trends as well as people in the finance industry create a bigger impact on the lives of countless people, but it doesn't stop here. The financial decisions of influential people often affect the way their followers make their own financial decisions, including those who are looking for investment opportunities regarding&nbsp;apartments for rent. Elon Musk is one of them who exhibits the strongest hold in the finance industry. There are bundles of reasons to prove it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f9fb1d6735f052fb25382f29efaff2d\" tg-width=\"685\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Surveys do claim that he has a noticeable impact on the crypto market simultaneously as well. This indicates that there might be various situations that contribute to transforming this man into a game-changer for the entire finance industry.</p>\n<p><b>Who Is Elon Musk?</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is one of the world-famous entrepreneurs and the founder of many companies. He gained incredible wealth through the brand of his ever-spoken car, Tesla. Also, Elon Musk is now known as one of the influential people leading the global market. Recently, he was alsoreportedto be the richest person in the world.</p>\n<p><b>A Glance into Elon Musk's Early Years</b></p>\n<p>Undeniably, Elon Musk has been a high achiever in the world of finance as well as inventions. But it’s no surprise that every successful person needs a consistent level of support and encouragement for personal and professional growth. Therefore, it makes sense to know about what Elon’s life must have been since he was a child.</p>\n<p>Elon’s early years were way different from his current life scenarios. He was born in 1971 in the South African city, Pretoria. He was brought up in the same city. He was always a bright child endeavoring to try new things. His father was a South African while his mother was a Canadian. They nurtured him with care as he was the brightest of all his siblings. This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.</p>\n<p><b>The challenges Elon faced</b></p>\n<p>Elon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.</p>\n<p>Instead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.</p>\n<p><b>Education</b></p>\n<p>His inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.</p>\n<p>Elon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.</p>\n<p>The bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.</p>\n<p>Besides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.</p>\n<p><b>Why Elon Musk is the Most Influential</b></p>\n<p>It will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.</p>\n<p>Below are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"</p>\n<p><b>His Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value</b></p>\n<p>An average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Following the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.</p>\n<p>The value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.</p>\n<p>That was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.</p>\n<p><b>Elon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla</b></p>\n<p>This is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Later on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.</p>\n<p>Tesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.</p>\n<p><b>Pioneer in online payment systems</b></p>\n<p>In 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.</p>\n<p>With $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.</p>\n<p>All credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.</p>\n<p><b>Contributions in SpaceX</b></p>\n<p>Elon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.</p>\n<p>His prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.</p>\n<p><b>The Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers</b></p>\n<p>Elon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.</p>\n<p>His concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.</p>\n<p><b>The Boring Company</b></p>\n<p>In late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.</p>\n<p>The goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines. The aim also includes smaller tunnels.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company already had projects in progress in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C, Hawthorne, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and more areas. For the funding, Elon started to sell hats with The Boring Company as a brand. By 2017, he had sold over 40,000 hats and raised upwards of $840,000. After selling 50,000 hats, the next product was a Boring Company flamethrower. With each flamethrower priced at $500, Musk managed to raise $10 million in a matter of days.</p>\n<p>The Boring Company also sold its shares to early-stage venture capital firms, raising around $120 million that way. There were a few other sources for funds as well, with the result being the completion of two tuners by February 2020. A high-speed transit system is also in the future plans for the Boring Company, so we’d have to stay alert for more updates.</p>\n<p><b>A Few Secrets of Elon Musk’s Success</b></p>\n<p>Many people have wondered just why Elon has been so successful in his efforts. He has revealed some of his secrets to success in a few interviews. Let’s now discuss the crux of these lessons:</p>\n<p><b>Money Is Not the Goal</b></p>\n<p>For most entrepreneurs and career builders today, the initial aim at least is making as much money as possible. This isn’t necessarily a negative goal; after all, we have to work for necessities and in order to maintain a certain lifestyle.</p>\n<p>However, Elon says that his business attitude does not have money as the centre of all activity. In fact, in his interviews, he stated that he wasn’t aware of exactly how much money he had. He didn’t have a certain amount in several bank accounts; rather, he has some votes in companies like SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. The marketplace then would place value on these votes, i.e., his ownership shares in these companies.</p>\n<p>Elon also states that there’s nothing wrong in pursuing wealth, provided that the process is ethical. However, he does maintain that this pursuit is not what motivates him. This is the sort of approach that seems to work well for him and his companies so far.</p>\n<p>Tesla, his company that produces mostly electric cars, has seen particularly positive progress. If we look at how it's performed of late, the Tesla shares have shot up in value and are now worth over $700 billion. For a bit of perspective, this value is more than that of General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, and BMW combined. With such success and wealth, it’s no wonder that the actor Robert Downy Jr. used Elon as the inspiration for his portrayal of Iron Man.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, Elon has also said in an interview that he doesn’t really expect to be rich at the end of his life. He plans to spend a large chunk of his money on a Mars base. The project might take up all his life earnings, and he is mentally prepared for that to happen. In fact, he regards this as the best way to go, instead of passing away with billions still left in his bank accounts.</p>\n<p><b>Making Sure to Pursue Your Passion</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of the Mars base, this endeavor is what Elon believed to be the ultimate success. He feels that since we all want the future to be more exciting, developed, and better in every way, we have to make the required efforts starting today.</p>\n<p>His company SpaceX is a great example of such efforts. Elon set up this company due to a sense of frustration and ambition, as he felt that the space program in the U.S. wasn’t ambitious enough. His expectations were to go beyond the Earth atmosphere on a regular basis; putting people on Mars, developing a Moon base, and working on regular missions to orbit.</p>\n<p>Elon didn’t settle for being disappointed, but started working on the “Mars Oasis Mission” when he was able to. This mission’s aim was to get a greenhouse to Mars. While the greenhouse was a small one, the main idea was to initiate excitement about space in the public once again. Another motivation here was to convince the U.S. government to allocate a higher budget to NASA.</p>\n<p>During these endeavors, however, Elon realized that the issue of space exploration was more related to finances rather than public interest. He saw that the technology required was a lot more pricey than absolutely necessary. From there, he started his SpaceX business, which is the most cost-effective rocket-launching venture so far.</p>\n<p>Again, the main goal was not to make as much money as he could, but to get a person on the planet Mars. Elon doesn’t&nbsp;really regard his effort as that of an investor who wants to make the most out of his investment. Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.</p>\n<p>Elon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.</p>\n<p>While there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.</p>\n<p><b>Taking the Chance to Think Big</b></p>\n<p>The discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.</p>\n<p>Just a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.</p>\n<p>Do we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.</p>\n<p>Elon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood. This inspiration turned into ambition as he grew older. During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.</p>\n<p>As a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change. They’d also rather work on their existing products and not imagine something new and unique unless they’ve covered all their bases first.</p>\n<p>Keeping all this in mind, Elon’s advice is to work on what will matter in the future. In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).</p>\n<p><b>Getting Ready for Risks</b></p>\n<p>With big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.</p>\n<p>For example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.</p>\n<p>His plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest. However, this phase was also the darkest one as far as his business life was concerned.</p>\n<p>While he didn’t have a lot of new businesses, this was the part when they were experiencing several problems. SpaceX was launched thrice and failed each time. Tesla was facing all sorts of issues with their design, supply chains, and production.</p>\n<p>Elon also faced a financial crisis on top of everything else, and had a difficult choice. He could either keep living comfortably and let his businesses die, or he could invest it all and give his ideas a chance to live.</p>\n<p>We all know what happened next; Elon took the risk and poured in the money he meant for himself. He also got into debt, and ended up borrowing money from his friends just for some living expenses.</p>\n<p>Bankruptcy was very much a possibility here, but Elon states that he wasn’t too frightened by it. He said that if his kids had to attend a government school instead of a private one, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. After all, Elon himself was a government school kid.</p>\n<p><b>Ignore Those Who Criticize</b></p>\n<p>While bankruptcy didn't make Elon disappointed, he did say that he was shocked by how certain critics interfered when he was struggling already. Several blog sites even had a death watch on Tesla, and other people thought that Elon himself was too arrogant to deserve success.</p>\n<p>However, Elon rejects the idea that he or his teams were ever arrogant. He only said that they were aspiring to achieve a certain goal, not that they would definitely get there. Therefore, his next secret of success is not to listen to the critics; at least, not the ones who delight in your possible failure.</p>\n<p>Elon has said that neither he nor anyone else really believed that Tesla or SpaceX will make a lot of money at the point of setting up. However, as we’ve covered above, his aim isn't to make money anyway, but to solve problems. He ignored those who were against him and went forward with his plans.</p>\n<p>Overall, not listening to critics and naysayers made everything much simpler. He was then able to focus on his beliefs and what really mattered.</p>\n<p>So far, the market seems to be appreciating Elon’s efforts. In October 2014, SpaceX was valued at around $100 billion by Morgan Stanley, the investment bank.</p>\n<p><b>The Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is famed for many things; being a workaholic is among them. He has worked 120 hours a week to ensure that his companies’ production stays on track. However, he also makes sure to enjoy his life along the way. His efforts are not without controversy, nor has he always stayed out of trouble. There have also been more problems along the way, not the least of which was the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down Tesla production in San Francisco.</p>\n<p>Despite all this and some erratic behavior, Elon seems to have come out stronger than ever. He remains an ambitious entrepreneur, and shows no signs of slowing down. With so much success and liberating ideas for moving forward, he’s certainly an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs, investors, and thinkers.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Elon Musk is One of the Most Influential People in Finance Markets</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy Elon Musk is One of the Most Influential People in Finance Markets\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Benzinga </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-09-21 09:18</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Numerous people in every industry leave a mark among others. The trends as well as people in the finance industry create a bigger impact on the lives of countless people, but it doesn't stop here. The financial decisions of influential people often affect the way their followers make their own financial decisions, including those who are looking for investment opportunities regarding&nbsp;apartments for rent. Elon Musk is one of them who exhibits the strongest hold in the finance industry. There are bundles of reasons to prove it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f9fb1d6735f052fb25382f29efaff2d\" tg-width=\"685\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Surveys do claim that he has a noticeable impact on the crypto market simultaneously as well. This indicates that there might be various situations that contribute to transforming this man into a game-changer for the entire finance industry.</p>\n<p><b>Who Is Elon Musk?</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is one of the world-famous entrepreneurs and the founder of many companies. He gained incredible wealth through the brand of his ever-spoken car, Tesla. Also, Elon Musk is now known as one of the influential people leading the global market. Recently, he was alsoreportedto be the richest person in the world.</p>\n<p><b>A Glance into Elon Musk's Early Years</b></p>\n<p>Undeniably, Elon Musk has been a high achiever in the world of finance as well as inventions. But it’s no surprise that every successful person needs a consistent level of support and encouragement for personal and professional growth. Therefore, it makes sense to know about what Elon’s life must have been since he was a child.</p>\n<p>Elon’s early years were way different from his current life scenarios. He was born in 1971 in the South African city, Pretoria. He was brought up in the same city. He was always a bright child endeavoring to try new things. His father was a South African while his mother was a Canadian. They nurtured him with care as he was the brightest of all his siblings. This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.</p>\n<p><b>The challenges Elon faced</b></p>\n<p>Elon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.</p>\n<p>Instead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.</p>\n<p><b>Education</b></p>\n<p>His inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.</p>\n<p>Elon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.</p>\n<p>The bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.</p>\n<p>Besides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.</p>\n<p><b>Why Elon Musk is the Most Influential</b></p>\n<p>It will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.</p>\n<p>Below are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"</p>\n<p><b>His Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value</b></p>\n<p>An average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Following the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.</p>\n<p>The value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.</p>\n<p>That was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.</p>\n<p><b>Elon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla</b></p>\n<p>This is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Later on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.</p>\n<p>Tesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.</p>\n<p><b>Pioneer in online payment systems</b></p>\n<p>In 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.</p>\n<p>With $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.</p>\n<p>All credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.</p>\n<p><b>Contributions in SpaceX</b></p>\n<p>Elon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.</p>\n<p>His prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.</p>\n<p><b>The Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers</b></p>\n<p>Elon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.</p>\n<p>His concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.</p>\n<p><b>The Boring Company</b></p>\n<p>In late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.</p>\n<p>The goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines. The aim also includes smaller tunnels.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company already had projects in progress in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C, Hawthorne, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and more areas. For the funding, Elon started to sell hats with The Boring Company as a brand. By 2017, he had sold over 40,000 hats and raised upwards of $840,000. After selling 50,000 hats, the next product was a Boring Company flamethrower. With each flamethrower priced at $500, Musk managed to raise $10 million in a matter of days.</p>\n<p>The Boring Company also sold its shares to early-stage venture capital firms, raising around $120 million that way. There were a few other sources for funds as well, with the result being the completion of two tuners by February 2020. A high-speed transit system is also in the future plans for the Boring Company, so we’d have to stay alert for more updates.</p>\n<p><b>A Few Secrets of Elon Musk’s Success</b></p>\n<p>Many people have wondered just why Elon has been so successful in his efforts. He has revealed some of his secrets to success in a few interviews. Let’s now discuss the crux of these lessons:</p>\n<p><b>Money Is Not the Goal</b></p>\n<p>For most entrepreneurs and career builders today, the initial aim at least is making as much money as possible. This isn’t necessarily a negative goal; after all, we have to work for necessities and in order to maintain a certain lifestyle.</p>\n<p>However, Elon says that his business attitude does not have money as the centre of all activity. In fact, in his interviews, he stated that he wasn’t aware of exactly how much money he had. He didn’t have a certain amount in several bank accounts; rather, he has some votes in companies like SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. The marketplace then would place value on these votes, i.e., his ownership shares in these companies.</p>\n<p>Elon also states that there’s nothing wrong in pursuing wealth, provided that the process is ethical. However, he does maintain that this pursuit is not what motivates him. This is the sort of approach that seems to work well for him and his companies so far.</p>\n<p>Tesla, his company that produces mostly electric cars, has seen particularly positive progress. If we look at how it's performed of late, the Tesla shares have shot up in value and are now worth over $700 billion. For a bit of perspective, this value is more than that of General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, and BMW combined. With such success and wealth, it’s no wonder that the actor Robert Downy Jr. used Elon as the inspiration for his portrayal of Iron Man.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, Elon has also said in an interview that he doesn’t really expect to be rich at the end of his life. He plans to spend a large chunk of his money on a Mars base. The project might take up all his life earnings, and he is mentally prepared for that to happen. In fact, he regards this as the best way to go, instead of passing away with billions still left in his bank accounts.</p>\n<p><b>Making Sure to Pursue Your Passion</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of the Mars base, this endeavor is what Elon believed to be the ultimate success. He feels that since we all want the future to be more exciting, developed, and better in every way, we have to make the required efforts starting today.</p>\n<p>His company SpaceX is a great example of such efforts. Elon set up this company due to a sense of frustration and ambition, as he felt that the space program in the U.S. wasn’t ambitious enough. His expectations were to go beyond the Earth atmosphere on a regular basis; putting people on Mars, developing a Moon base, and working on regular missions to orbit.</p>\n<p>Elon didn’t settle for being disappointed, but started working on the “Mars Oasis Mission” when he was able to. This mission’s aim was to get a greenhouse to Mars. While the greenhouse was a small one, the main idea was to initiate excitement about space in the public once again. Another motivation here was to convince the U.S. government to allocate a higher budget to NASA.</p>\n<p>During these endeavors, however, Elon realized that the issue of space exploration was more related to finances rather than public interest. He saw that the technology required was a lot more pricey than absolutely necessary. From there, he started his SpaceX business, which is the most cost-effective rocket-launching venture so far.</p>\n<p>Again, the main goal was not to make as much money as he could, but to get a person on the planet Mars. Elon doesn’t&nbsp;really regard his effort as that of an investor who wants to make the most out of his investment. Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.</p>\n<p>Elon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.</p>\n<p>While there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.</p>\n<p><b>Taking the Chance to Think Big</b></p>\n<p>The discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.</p>\n<p>Just a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.</p>\n<p>Do we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.</p>\n<p>Elon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood. This inspiration turned into ambition as he grew older. During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.</p>\n<p>As a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change. They’d also rather work on their existing products and not imagine something new and unique unless they’ve covered all their bases first.</p>\n<p>Keeping all this in mind, Elon’s advice is to work on what will matter in the future. In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).</p>\n<p><b>Getting Ready for Risks</b></p>\n<p>With big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.</p>\n<p>For example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.</p>\n<p>His plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest. However, this phase was also the darkest one as far as his business life was concerned.</p>\n<p>While he didn’t have a lot of new businesses, this was the part when they were experiencing several problems. SpaceX was launched thrice and failed each time. Tesla was facing all sorts of issues with their design, supply chains, and production.</p>\n<p>Elon also faced a financial crisis on top of everything else, and had a difficult choice. He could either keep living comfortably and let his businesses die, or he could invest it all and give his ideas a chance to live.</p>\n<p>We all know what happened next; Elon took the risk and poured in the money he meant for himself. He also got into debt, and ended up borrowing money from his friends just for some living expenses.</p>\n<p>Bankruptcy was very much a possibility here, but Elon states that he wasn’t too frightened by it. He said that if his kids had to attend a government school instead of a private one, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. After all, Elon himself was a government school kid.</p>\n<p><b>Ignore Those Who Criticize</b></p>\n<p>While bankruptcy didn't make Elon disappointed, he did say that he was shocked by how certain critics interfered when he was struggling already. Several blog sites even had a death watch on Tesla, and other people thought that Elon himself was too arrogant to deserve success.</p>\n<p>However, Elon rejects the idea that he or his teams were ever arrogant. He only said that they were aspiring to achieve a certain goal, not that they would definitely get there. Therefore, his next secret of success is not to listen to the critics; at least, not the ones who delight in your possible failure.</p>\n<p>Elon has said that neither he nor anyone else really believed that Tesla or SpaceX will make a lot of money at the point of setting up.

This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.\nThe challenges Elon faced\nElon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.\nInstead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.\nEducation\nHis inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.\nElon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.\nThe bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.\nBesides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.\nWhy Elon Musk is the Most Influential\nIt will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.\nBelow are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"\nHis Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value\nAn average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.\nFollowing the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.\nThe value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.\nThat was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.\nElon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla\nThis is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.\nLater on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.\nTesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.\nPioneer in online payment systems\nIn 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.\nWith $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.\nAll credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.\nContributions in SpaceX\nElon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.\nHis prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.\nThe Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers\nElon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.\nHis concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.\nThe Boring Company\nIn late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.\nThe goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines. The aim also includes smaller tunnels.\nIn 2020, the company already had projects in progress in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C, Hawthorne, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and more areas. For the funding, Elon started to sell hats with The Boring Company as a brand. By 2017, he had sold over 40,000 hats and raised upwards of $840,000. After selling 50,000 hats, the next product was a Boring Company flamethrower. With each flamethrower priced at $500, Musk managed to raise $10 million in a matter of days.\nThe Boring Company also sold its shares to early-stage venture capital firms, raising around $120 million that way. There were a few other sources for funds as well, with the result being the completion of two tuners by February 2020. A high-speed transit system is also in the future plans for the Boring Company, so we’d have to stay alert for more updates.\nA Few Secrets of Elon Musk’s Success\nMany people have wondered just why Elon has been so successful in his efforts. He has revealed some of his secrets to success in a few interviews. Let’s now discuss the crux of these lessons:\nMoney Is Not the Goal\nFor most entrepreneurs and career builders today, the initial aim at least is making as much money as possible. This isn’t necessarily a negative goal; after all, we have to work for necessities and in order to maintain a certain lifestyle.\nHowever, Elon says that his business attitude does not have money as the centre of all activity. In fact, in his interviews, he stated that he wasn’t aware of exactly how much money he had. He didn’t have a certain amount in several bank accounts; rather, he has some votes in companies like SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. The marketplace then would place value on these votes, i.e., his ownership shares in these companies.\nElon also states that there’s nothing wrong in pursuing wealth, provided that the process is ethical. However, he does maintain that this pursuit is not what motivates him. This is the sort of approach that seems to work well for him and his companies so far.\nTesla, his company that produces mostly electric cars, has seen particularly positive progress. If we look at how it's performed of late, the Tesla shares have shot up in value and are now worth over $700 billion. For a bit of perspective, this value is more than that of General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, and BMW combined. With such success and wealth, it’s no wonder that the actor Robert Downy Jr. used Elon as the inspiration for his portrayal of Iron Man.\nInterestingly, Elon has also said in an interview that he doesn’t really expect to be rich at the end of his life. He plans to spend a large chunk of his money on a Mars base. The project might take up all his life earnings, and he is mentally prepared for that to happen. In fact, he regards this as the best way to go, instead of passing away with billions still left in his bank accounts.\nMaking Sure to Pursue Your Passion\nSpeaking of the Mars base, this endeavor is what Elon believed to be the ultimate success. He feels that since we all want the future to be more exciting, developed, and better in every way, we have to make the required efforts starting today.\nHis company SpaceX is a great example of such efforts. Elon set up this company due to a sense of frustration and ambition, as he felt that the space program in the U.S. wasn’t ambitious enough. His expectations were to go beyond the Earth atmosphere on a regular basis; putting people on Mars, developing a Moon base, and working on regular missions to orbit.\nElon didn’t settle for being disappointed, but started working on the “Mars Oasis Mission” when he was able to. This mission’s aim was to get a greenhouse to Mars. While the greenhouse was a small one, the main idea was to initiate excitement about space in the public once again. Another motivation here was to convince the U.S. government to allocate a higher budget to NASA.\nDuring these endeavors, however, Elon realized that the issue of space exploration was more related to finances rather than public interest. He saw that the technology required was a lot more pricey than absolutely necessary. From there, he started his SpaceX business, which is the most cost-effective rocket-launching venture so far.\nAgain, the main goal was not to make as much money as he could, but to get a person on the planet Mars. Elon doesn’t really regard his effort as that of an investor who wants to make the most out of his investment. Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.\nElon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.\nWhile there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.\nTaking the Chance to Think Big\nThe discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.\nJust a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.\nDo we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.\nElon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood. This inspiration turned into ambition as he grew older. During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.\nAs a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.\nOn the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change. They’d also rather work on their existing products and not imagine something new and unique unless they’ve covered all their bases first.\nKeeping all this in mind, Elon’s advice is to work on what will matter in the future. In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).\nGetting Ready for Risks\nWith big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.\nFor example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.\nHis plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest. However, this phase was also the darkest one as far as his business life was concerned.\nWhile he didn’t have a lot of new businesses, this was the part when they were experiencing several problems. SpaceX was launched thrice and failed each time. Tesla was facing all sorts of issues with their design, supply chains, and production.\nElon also faced a financial crisis on top of everything else, and had a difficult choice. He could either keep living comfortably and let his businesses die, or he could invest it all and give his ideas a chance to live.\nWe all know what happened next; Elon took the risk and poured in the money he meant for himself. He also got into debt, and ended up borrowing money from his friends just for some living expenses.\nBankruptcy was very much a possibility here, but Elon states that he wasn’t too frightened by it. He said that if his kids had to attend a government school instead of a private one, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. After all, Elon himself was a government school kid.\nIgnore Those Who Criticize\nWhile bankruptcy didn't make Elon disappointed, he did say that he was shocked by how certain critics interfered when he was struggling already. Several blog sites even had a death watch on Tesla, and other people thought that Elon himself was too arrogant to deserve success.\nHowever, Elon rejects the idea that he or his teams were ever arrogant. He only said that they were aspiring to achieve a certain goal, not that they would definitely get there. Therefore, his next secret of success is not to listen to the critics; at least, not the ones who delight in your possible failure.\nElon has said that neither he nor anyone else really believed that Tesla or SpaceX will make a lot of money at the point of setting up. However, as we’ve covered above, his aim isn't to make money anyway, but to solve problems. He ignored those who were against him and went forward with his plans.\nOverall, not listening to critics and naysayers made everything much simpler. He was then able to focus on his beliefs and what really mattered.\nSo far, the market seems to be appreciating Elon’s efforts. In October 2014, SpaceX was valued at around $100 billion by Morgan Stanley, the investment bank.\nThe Takeaway\nElon Musk is famed for many things; being a workaholic is among them. He has worked 120 hours a week to ensure that his companies’ production stays on track. However, he also makes sure to enjoy his life along the way. His efforts are not without controversy, nor has he always stayed out of trouble. There have also been more problems along the way, not the least of which was the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down Tesla production in San Francisco.\nDespite all this and some erratic behavior, Elon seems to have come out stronger than ever. He remains an ambitious entrepreneur, and shows no signs of slowing down. With so much success and liberating ideas for moving forward, he’s certainly an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs, investors, and thinkers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":526,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887487489,"gmtCreate":1632093954141,"gmtModify":1676530697515,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can a country still be competitive with such large number of population choose not to work?&nbsp;","listText":"Can a country still be competitive with such large number of population choose not to work?&nbsp;","text":"Can a country still be competitive with such large number of population choose not to work?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887487489","repostId":"1198486138","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198486138","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632023224,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198486138?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-19 11:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 ways men live without working in America","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198486138","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"How do they live? What are they doing for money? ","content":"<p>Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!</p>\n<p>How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.</p>\n<p>I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.</p>\n<p>It’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.</p>\n<p>As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/056158b8fa7157238c3d1521dd05c02e\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809084435ffdcbc0695311d158bb7a98\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Robinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly<b>-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy</b></p>\n<p>This one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.</p>\n<p><b>-Living off family members</b></p>\n<p>Just to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.</p>\n<p><b>-Illegal work</b></p>\n<p>Front and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.</p>\n<p>What about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now.

They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!\nHow do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.\nI’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.\nIt’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.\nAs a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:\nChart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nEconomists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.\nI’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More\nThere’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy\nThis one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.\n-Living off family members\nJust to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.\n-Illegal work\nFront and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.\nWhat about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.\nORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts.

But even if not for him, I would probably cut down anyway since the numbers are going crazy.\"\nDr Gurvin Gill, 34, who was waiting at a taxi stand at Tampines 1 mall on Friday evening, said over the past three weeks, she has been restricting her movements to just between home and work.\nAesthetician Josephine Teo, 54, said she has stopped dining out with her three children.\nAt Northpoint City in Yishun, ST observed about 300 people shopping and dining from 5pm to 7pm last Thursday. Groups kept their distance from one another while queueing at stores and restaurants.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Covid-19 cluster was detected at the mall in April last year, and was closed two months later.\nRetired technician Ong Guan Leong, 74, who is fully vaccinated and is waiting to receive the SMS invite to get the booster shot, said he still goes to the library at the mall to read newspapers daily.\n\n\n\n\n   Diners seen patronizing at eateries in Jem at Jurong East.

The cluster was closed on Sept 12 with a total of 1,155 cases.\nMrs Pavani Metikal, 29, a housewife who was passing by the market, said she was more cautious about handling produce.\nShe said: \"I used to touch things more freely when considering whether to buy them, but now I am more careful. I'm already used to cutting down on social activities since the start of the pandemic.\"\nFive park-goers who were at the Botanic Gardens on Thursday evening said they were not overly worried, citing the open space and fewer crowds. Visitors remained in scattered groups of up to five, and many left before 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n   Parkgoers in Botanic Gardens on Sept 17, 2021.

It's open air so I'm not worried about contracting Covid-19 here.

The orders have come through Apple’s official store via e-commerce platform JD.com\nApple launched the iPhone 13 in an event earlier this week, sparking the interest of millions of people globally. The 2 million pre-order in China for iPhone 13 surpassed the 1.5 million the company received when it launched it’s iPhone 12.\nThe tech giant continues to be the number one premium smartphone seller in China following the recent struggles of Huawei. Huawei has come under pressure in the United States in recent years, and this has affected its manufacturing power.\nCounterpoint Research senior analyst Ethan Qi pointed out that at the moment, iPhone 13 is the smartphone that has no counterpart in the market. The phone, which will start selling at 5,000 yuan (US$776), is currently the leading smartphone in the world.\nEarlier this year, Huawei launched its P50 and P50 Pro Android Smartphones. However, the phones have not attracted that much attention since it doesn’t have 5G. This is due to the company’s inability to access advanced US technologies because of certain restrictions.\nAAPL Down By 0.6%\nThe shares of Apple are down by less than 1% today despite the positive news coming out of China. AAPL is trading at $148 per share, down by 0.6% during Thursday’s trading session. Apple’s stock has underperformed this year, losing nearly 8% of its value year-to-date.\nAAPL stock chart.

And the Fed is doing its best to cool the effects of inflation.</p>\n<p>All of that makes Lisa Shalett, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>’s chief investment officer of the firm’s wealth management division, nervous.</p>\n<p>In a recent call with investors, Shalett reiterated her confidence that the market is due for a major correction — between 10% and 15% — before the end of the year.</p>\n<p>Within that context, Shalett advised investors to rebalance their portfolios to favor financials, consumer staples, consumer services and health care — particularly companies that can provide a steady stream of income.</p>\n<p>Let's take a quick look at a few possible plays from those sectors.</p>\n<p>From banks to Band-Aid and snacks to shopping, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of them could be your next big wealth-building investment.</p>\n<p><b>1. Financials: Bank of America (BAC)</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/032aef172ff1a824f14a619cd5ca0cb2\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Tero Vesalainen/Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Over the last decade, Bank of America has streamlined and refined its business practices and operations to rise from one of the lowest rated banks in the country to the second-largest bank by assets.</p>\n<p>As the economy continues to recover from the pandemic and inflation continues to surge, interest rates are likely to rise, putting the bank is in a good position to continue its success. Banks benefit from higher rates through a wider \"spread\" — the difference in interest that they pay to customers and what they earn by investing.</p>\n<p>And despite not quite hitting its earning mark last quarter, Bank of America delivered shareholders a dividend hike — upping its yield 17% from 18 cents to 21 cents per share. Currently, the shares offer a dividend yield of 1.8%.</p>\n<p>Blue-chip investors might want to grab that yield using a free investing app.</p>\n<p><b>2. Consumer Staples: PepsiCo (PEP)</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a19bb803c2e0377dac8ac7f1e643300\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">OlegDoroshin/Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Pepsico is so much more than a major cola and soda brand. Most consumers will be aware that Mountain Dew and Gatorade fall under the Pepsico umbrella.</p>\n<p>But this food and beverage juggernaut also owns Frito-Lay, Quaker Foods, Tropicana, SodaStream and dozens of other brands across the world.</p>\n<p>With everyone spending so much time at home, snack food consumption went way up during the pandemic — which was great news for Pepsi. In July, the company reported that net sales rose more than 20% year over year to $19.22 billion — nicely above expectations of $18 billion.</p>\n<p>And the company is passing on some of those sweet (or salty, depending on your taste) dollars to shareholders through healthy dividends, which have been steadily increasing over the years. Over the past ten years, Pepsico's dividend has grown at a compounded rate of 7.7%.</p>\n<p>Pepsico shares offer a dividend yield of 2.7%.</p>\n<p><b>3. Consumer Services: Target (TGT)</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b33b6d3f479a0df177315ed36fcef1a9\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Sundry Photography/Shutterstock</p>\n<p>While many brick and mortar retailers suffered through long lockdowns, Target’s profits have soared over the last year and a half. So much so that it’s even been beating sales of pre-pandemic years.</p>\n<p>Part of that can be attributed to the company's investment in its contactless delivery and pick-up in-store capabilities — with many orders now available for same-day fulfillment.</p>\n<p>Another factor in Target’s success is its convenience: with everything from cleaning supplies to clothing and from food to furniture, Target’s one-stop shop is appealing — especially for consumers still thinking about limiting their exposure as the country grapples with the delta variant.</p>\n<p>Even after a record year of 24.3% growth in comparable sales last year, in Q2, Target reported 8.9% growth.

And the Fed is doing its best to cool the effects of inflation.\nAll of that makes Lisa Shalett, Morgan Stanley’s chief investment officer of the firm’s wealth management division, nervous.\nIn a recent call with investors, Shalett reiterated her confidence that the market is due for a major correction — between 10% and 15% — before the end of the year.\nWithin that context, Shalett advised investors to rebalance their portfolios to favor financials, consumer staples, consumer services and health care — particularly companies that can provide a steady stream of income.\nLet's take a quick look at a few possible plays from those sectors.\nFrom banks to Band-Aid and snacks to shopping, one of them could be your next big wealth-building investment.\n1. Financials: Bank of America (BAC)\nTero Vesalainen/Shutterstock\nOver the last decade, Bank of America has streamlined and refined its business practices and operations to rise from one of the lowest rated banks in the country to the second-largest bank by assets.\nAs the economy continues to recover from the pandemic and inflation continues to surge, interest rates are likely to rise, putting the bank is in a good position to continue its success. Banks benefit from higher rates through a wider \"spread\" — the difference in interest that they pay to customers and what they earn by investing.\nAnd despite not quite hitting its earning mark last quarter, Bank of America delivered shareholders a dividend hike — upping its yield 17% from 18 cents to 21 cents per share. Currently, the shares offer a dividend yield of 1.8%.\nBlue-chip investors might want to grab that yield using a free investing app.\n2. Consumer Staples: PepsiCo (PEP)\nOlegDoroshin/Shutterstock\nPepsico is so much more than a major cola and soda brand. Most consumers will be aware that Mountain Dew and Gatorade fall under the Pepsico umbrella.\nBut this food and beverage juggernaut also owns Frito-Lay, Quaker Foods, Tropicana, SodaStream and dozens of other brands across the world.\nWith everyone spending so much time at home, snack food consumption went way up during the pandemic — which was great news for Pepsi. In July, the company reported that net sales rose more than 20% year over year to $19.22 billion — nicely above expectations of $18 billion.\nAnd the company is passing on some of those sweet (or salty, depending on your taste) dollars to shareholders through healthy dividends, which have been steadily increasing over the years. Over the past ten years, Pepsico's dividend has grown at a compounded rate of 7.7%.\nPepsico shares offer a dividend yield of 2.7%.\n3. Consumer Services: Target (TGT)\nSundry Photography/Shutterstock\nWhile many brick and mortar retailers suffered through long lockdowns, Target’s profits have soared over the last year and a half. So much so that it’s even been beating sales of pre-pandemic years.\nPart of that can be attributed to the company's investment in its contactless delivery and pick-up in-store capabilities — with many orders now available for same-day fulfillment.\nAnother factor in Target’s success is its convenience: with everything from cleaning supplies to clothing and from food to furniture, Target’s one-stop shop is appealing — especially for consumers still thinking about limiting their exposure as the country grapples with the delta variant.\nEven after a record year of 24.3% growth in comparable sales last year, in Q2, Target reported 8.9% growth. Its dividend of 90 cents per share reflects that growth — as it’s a significant jump from 68 cents the previous quarter.\nAt the moment, Target shares sport a dividend yield of 1.5%.\n4. Health care: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)\nSiraj Ahmad/Shutterstock\nBetween its business in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and consumer packaged goods, Johnson & Johnson has become a household name.\nAnd more than that, its numerous subsidiaries including Band-Aid, Tylenol, Neutrogena, Listerine and Clean & Clear could stand on their own as successful brands.\nJNJ’s diverse holdings in the health care segment ensures it’s able to ride out any economic slumps. And with a handful of industry-leading drugs for immunology and cancer treatment under its Janssen Pharamceutica arm, there’s a good deal of growth opportunity for JNJ.\nThe company’s Q2 results were buoyed by $12.59 billion in revenue from its COVID-19 shot over the year — with global sales of $164 million in the second quarter alone.\nJNJ shared its success with shareholders through a dividend of $1.06 in the third quarter, up from $1.01 six months before.\nThe stock currently has a dividend yield of 2.5%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889566450,"gmtCreate":1631159377970,"gmtModify":1676530483543,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Micron or TSMC?&nbsp;","listText":"Micron or TSMC?&nbsp;","text":"Micron or TSMC?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889566450","repostId":"1135345797","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135345797","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631156729,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135345797?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-09 11:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Micron Is Too Cheap To Ignore","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135345797","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"I invest mainly in secular growth companies and would, therefore, avoid Micron because the memory and storage segment is highly cyclical.Micron is reporting strong growth in the past few quarters and this trend is expected to remain positive over the next couple of years.Micron Technology is a cyclical play within the semiconductor industry and I prefer to invest in secular growth companies, but its valuation is so cheap that it makes a very compelling investment right now.Micron is one of the l","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>I invest mainly in secular growth companies and would, therefore, avoid Micron because the memory and storage segment is highly cyclical.</li>\n <li>Micron is reporting strong growth in the past few quarters and this trend is expected to remain positive over the next couple of years.</li>\n <li>Its valuation at less than 7x forward earnings is very undemanding and makes it a good cyclical play in the semiconductor industry.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea6943b055b8a3f717a6e1f6c038c065\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Micron Technology</b>(MU) is a cyclical play within the semiconductor industry and I prefer to invest in secular growth companies, but its valuation is so cheap that it makes a very compelling investment right now.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>Micron&nbsp;is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, measured by its more than $21 billion in revenues generated last year. The company is focused on the memory and storage products segment, through its DRAM, NAND and NOR technologies. By technology, DRAM is by far the most important one, being responsible for more than two thirds of Micron's revenues.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7be545bd7d6fd523fcb30ebd5c8171d1\" tg-width=\"1007\" tg-height=\"230\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Micron.</span></p>\n<p>Micron was founded in 1978 and is nowadays present in some 17 countries around the world and has 13 manufacturing sites and 14 customer labs in the U.S., China&nbsp;Mainland, Taiwan and other areas. It is traded on the NASDAQ and has a market value of about $83 billion.</p>\n<p>The semiconductor industry faces fierce competition and this means that for Micron to remain competitive it must invest continuously in new products and technologies to differentiate itself from other players. Its closest competitors are&nbsp;<b>Samsung Electronics</b>(OTC:SSNLF) and SK Hynix, two companies based in South Korea, thus manufacturing costs is also an important factor for Micron to be competitive in the marketplace. According to Statista, Samsung is the largest player in this market segment, followed by SK and Micron, while other players have much smaller market shares.</p>\n<p>Even though the semiconductor industry is generally considered to be a cyclical industry, its prospects are quite good due to new technologies that are expected to boost demand over the next few years.</p>\n<p><b>Growth</b></p>\n<p>As I've analyzed in a previous article on \"ASML: A Fantastic Company For Long-Term Investors\", the semiconductor industry has very good long-term growth prospects due to several sources of innovation that should support growth for many years down the road.</p>\n<p>Modern technology is constantly changing and new developments are constantly pushing for new applications of microchips, including memory and storage. The volume of data is expected to grow strongly over the coming years, through technological advances like 5G, Big Data, autonomous vehicles, the internet of things, beyond others. This backdrop is very positive for Micron's growth, being specifically exposed to secular growth trends of AI, 5G, machine learning and autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>This means that Micron is directly exposed to several growth sources over the coming years and its total addressable market is expected to increase substantially over the next decade. This secular growth trend was even accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic, with demand for gaming, laptops and other products increasing rapidly, being a strong cyclical support for Micron's growth beyond its secular growth tailwinds.</p>\n<p>According to&nbsp;MarketWatch, the semiconductor memory market is expected to be around $134 in annual sales by 2027, a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9% from 2021-27. Even though this is a positive backdrop, the overall semiconductor industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2021-28, thus the memory market may not be the best sub-sector to be exposed to secular growth trends supporting this industry over the coming years. However, Micron has a higher estimate of the total available market for memory and storage by 2024, thus growth opportunities for the company may be higher than what the market is currently expecting.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58b60021e186ca242433f7923d10fbb7\" tg-width=\"380\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Micron.</span></p>\n<p>Despite good growth prospects over the coming years, the memory and storage segment is usually considered more cyclical than other segments and costumers are structurally reluctant to enter into long-term, fixed-price commitments. This means that Micron is highly exposed to the supply/demand situation in the market and its pricing power is somewhat low over the medium to long term.</p>\n<p>Beyond that, the company also accepts orders that may be adjusted in terms of pricing by the time of shipment, showing that even in the short-term its pricing power is rather low. This is also why the company does not consider its order backlog to be a good indicator of future sales, which means that forecasting Micron's revenues and earnings in a time frame of 3-5 years is a tough exercise that most likely will be incorrect compared to the actual numbers the company will report in the succeeding periods.</p>\n<p><b>Financial Overview</b></p>\n<p>Regarding its financial performance, Micron has a mixed history showing that its business is clearly cyclical and can report strong swings on an annual basis. Indeed, even though Micron's revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4% from fiscal years (FY) 2016-20 (which end s in September), its revenues declined by 23% in FY 2019 and 8.4% in FY 2020. Moreover, its net income is also highly volatile, reporting $14 billion in FY 2018 and only $2.7 billion in FY 2020.</p>\n<p>This clearly shows that Micron is highly exposed to the ups and downs of the market, which can change quite dramatically in a short period of time. This can also be seen by Micron's long-term trend of its EBITDA margin, which is highly volatile even though it has consistently improved over the years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/459155c1caccc19e677c71474158f979\" tg-width=\"291\" tg-height=\"286\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Micron.</span></p>\n<p>More recently, Micron's business has been on a better operating momentum, to some extent driven by the pandemic, with demand for consumer electronics increasing substantially across the globe, which was a strong tailwind for the memory and storage chip market, while other segments reported lower demand, such as automotive.</p>\n<p>This mixed backdrop resulted in lower revenues during the&nbsp;FY 2020, due to a large extent from lower DRAM prices that impacted negatively Micron's revenues and gross margin, Its revenues amounted to $21.4 billion (-8.4% YoY) and its gross margin declined to 31% (vs. 46% in FY 2019). Sales of NAND products increased during the year, boosted by data center customers, but were not enough to offset weakness in the DRAM segment. Regarding costs and R&amp;D, Micron has a good discipline and these costs did not increase significantly compared to the previous year. Micron's bottom-line declined by 57% YoY to $2.7 billion, and its EPS was $2.37 (vs. $5.51 per share in FY 2019).</p>\n<p>During the first nine months of FY 2021, Micron has reported a very strong operating momentum which has enabled it to offset the loss of Huawei as a costumer due to U.S. sanctions (it represented about 12% of Micron's revenues in FY 2019).</p>\n<p>In the&nbsp;third quarter of FY 2021, its revenues were 7.4 billion (+36% YoY) boosted by DRAM that reported revenue growth of 52% YoY, due to higher volumes and prices, while NAND's revenues were up by 9% YoY. Its net income more than double from the third quarter of FY 2020, to $2.17 billion, and its net profit margin improved to 29% (vs. 17% in the same quarter of last year). Its free cash flow was $1.5 billion in the quarter, a very good level of cash flow generation compared to accounting profit.</p>\n<p>Going forward, Micron is very positive about the demand outlook in the memory segment, supported by data center costumers and new product developments that should support volume growth in the coming years. On the other hand, there is some negative sentiment in the market about future memory prices, which would be negative for the company's revenue growth in the coming quarters. For instance, a&nbsp;<b>Morgan Stanley</b>(MS) analyst has recently downgraded Micron because he expect s DRAM prices to be in a late stage cycle has the supply-demand situation is becoming more balanced.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, according to&nbsp;analysts' estimates, Micron should report higher revenues in FY 2022 and FY 2023 (to $36.7 billion and $40 billion, respectively) and the business is only expected to slow down thereafter. Its bottom-line is estimated to go up by 86% YoY in FY 2022, but to drop in the following years, which show to some extent that Micron's current strong growth may not be sustainable over the medium term.</p>\n<p>Regarding its balance sheet, Micron has a good situation, given that its net cash position was around $3.1 billion at the end of last quarter, thus its financial profile is strong and it can return excess capital to shareholders.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Micron has performed historically share buybacks, but more recently decided to start distributing a&nbsp;dividend, which shows some confidence about the company's future business prospects and its ability to return capital to shareholders in a recurring basis. Its quarterly dividend was set at only $0.10 per share, which lead to a modest dividend yield, but the goal is to gradually increase the dividend over the next few years.</p>\n<p><b>Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>Micron is reporting strong growth and medium-term prospects are good due to several growth trends of AI, 5G and others. However, the memory market is highly cyclical and there are some worries that its current strong trend may not last much.</p>\n<p>The semiconductor industry has secular long-term growth prospects, but in my opinion the best way to invest in this theme is through companies that have some sort of competitive advantage and pricing power, such as&nbsp;<b>ASML</b>(ASML) that has a monopoly in the EUV technology.

The company is focused on the memory and storage products segment, through its DRAM, NAND and NOR technologies. By technology, DRAM is by far the most important one, being responsible for more than two thirds of Micron's revenues.\nSource: Micron.\nMicron was founded in 1978 and is nowadays present in some 17 countries around the world and has 13 manufacturing sites and 14 customer labs in the U.S., China Mainland, Taiwan and other areas. It is traded on the NASDAQ and has a market value of about $83 billion.\nThe semiconductor industry faces fierce competition and this means that for Micron to remain competitive it must invest continuously in new products and technologies to differentiate itself from other players. Its closest competitors are Samsung Electronics(OTC:SSNLF) and SK Hynix, two companies based in South Korea, thus manufacturing costs is also an important factor for Micron to be competitive in the marketplace. According to Statista, Samsung is the largest player in this market segment, followed by SK and Micron, while other players have much smaller market shares.\nEven though the semiconductor industry is generally considered to be a cyclical industry, its prospects are quite good due to new technologies that are expected to boost demand over the next few years.\nGrowth\nAs I've analyzed in a previous article on \"ASML: A Fantastic Company For Long-Term Investors\", the semiconductor industry has very good long-term growth prospects due to several sources of innovation that should support growth for many years down the road.\nModern technology is constantly changing and new developments are constantly pushing for new applications of microchips, including memory and storage. The volume of data is expected to grow strongly over the coming years, through technological advances like 5G, Big Data, autonomous vehicles, the internet of things, beyond others. This backdrop is very positive for Micron's growth, being specifically exposed to secular growth trends of AI, 5G, machine learning and autonomous vehicles.\nThis means that Micron is directly exposed to several growth sources over the coming years and its total addressable market is expected to increase substantially over the next decade. This secular growth trend was even accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic, with demand for gaming, laptops and other products increasing rapidly, being a strong cyclical support for Micron's growth beyond its secular growth tailwinds.\nAccording to MarketWatch, the semiconductor memory market is expected to be around $134 in annual sales by 2027, a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9% from 2021-27. Even though this is a positive backdrop, the overall semiconductor industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2021-28, thus the memory market may not be the best sub-sector to be exposed to secular growth trends supporting this industry over the coming years. However, Micron has a higher estimate of the total available market for memory and storage by 2024, thus growth opportunities for the company may be higher than what the market is currently expecting.\nSource: Micron.\nDespite good growth prospects over the coming years, the memory and storage segment is usually considered more cyclical than other segments and costumers are structurally reluctant to enter into long-term, fixed-price commitments. This means that Micron is highly exposed to the supply/demand situation in the market and its pricing power is somewhat low over the medium to long term.\nBeyond that, the company also accepts orders that may be adjusted in terms of pricing by the time of shipment, showing that even in the short-term its pricing power is rather low. This is also why the company does not consider its order backlog to be a good indicator of future sales, which means that forecasting Micron's revenues and earnings in a time frame of 3-5 years is a tough exercise that most likely will be incorrect compared to the actual numbers the company will report in the succeeding periods.\nFinancial Overview\nRegarding its financial performance, Micron has a mixed history showing that its business is clearly cyclical and can report strong swings on an annual basis. Indeed, even though Micron's revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4% from fiscal years (FY) 2016-20 (which end s in September), its revenues declined by 23% in FY 2019 and 8.4% in FY 2020. Moreover, its net income is also highly volatile, reporting $14 billion in FY 2018 and only $2.7 billion in FY 2020.\nThis clearly shows that Micron is highly exposed to the ups and downs of the market, which can change quite dramatically in a short period of time. This can also be seen by Micron's long-term trend of its EBITDA margin, which is highly volatile even though it has consistently improved over the years.\nSource: Micron.\nMore recently, Micron's business has been on a better operating momentum, to some extent driven by the pandemic, with demand for consumer electronics increasing substantially across the globe, which was a strong tailwind for the memory and storage chip market, while other segments reported lower demand, such as automotive.\nThis mixed backdrop resulted in lower revenues during the FY 2020, due to a large extent from lower DRAM prices that impacted negatively Micron's revenues and gross margin, Its revenues amounted to $21.4 billion (-8.4% YoY) and its gross margin declined to 31% (vs. 46% in FY 2019). Sales of NAND products increased during the year, boosted by data center customers, but were not enough to offset weakness in the DRAM segment. Regarding costs and R&D, Micron has a good discipline and these costs did not increase significantly compared to the previous year. Micron's bottom-line declined by 57% YoY to $2.7 billion, and its EPS was $2.37 (vs. $5.51 per share in FY 2019).\nDuring the first nine months of FY 2021, Micron has reported a very strong operating momentum which has enabled it to offset the loss of Huawei as a costumer due to U.S. sanctions (it represented about 12% of Micron's revenues in FY 2019).\nIn the third quarter of FY 2021, its revenues were 7.4 billion (+36% YoY) boosted by DRAM that reported revenue growth of 52% YoY, due to higher volumes and prices, while NAND's revenues were up by 9% YoY. Its net income more than double from the third quarter of FY 2020, to $2.17 billion, and its net profit margin improved to 29% (vs. 17% in the same quarter of last year). Its free cash flow was $1.5 billion in the quarter, a very good level of cash flow generation compared to accounting profit.\nGoing forward, Micron is very positive about the demand outlook in the memory segment, supported by data center costumers and new product developments that should support volume growth in the coming years. On the other hand, there is some negative sentiment in the market about future memory prices, which would be negative for the company's revenue growth in the coming quarters. For instance, a Morgan Stanley(MS) analyst has recently downgraded Micron because he expect s DRAM prices to be in a late stage cycle has the supply-demand situation is becoming more balanced.\nNevertheless, according to analysts' estimates, Micron should report higher revenues in FY 2022 and FY 2023 (to $36.7 billion and $40 billion, respectively) and the business is only expected to slow down thereafter. Its bottom-line is estimated to go up by 86% YoY in FY 2022, but to drop in the following years, which show to some extent that Micron's current strong growth may not be sustainable over the medium term.\nRegarding its balance sheet, Micron has a good situation, given that its net cash position was around $3.1 billion at the end of last quarter, thus its financial profile is strong and it can return excess capital to shareholders.\nIndeed, Micron has performed historically share buybacks, but more recently decided to start distributing a dividend, which shows some confidence about the company's future business prospects and its ability to return capital to shareholders in a recurring basis. Its quarterly dividend was set at only $0.10 per share, which lead to a modest dividend yield, but the goal is to gradually increase the dividend over the next few years.\nBottom Line\nMicron is reporting strong growth and medium-term prospects are good due to several growth trends of AI, 5G and others. However, the memory market is highly cyclical and there are some worries that its current strong trend may not last much.\nThe semiconductor industry has secular long-term growth prospects, but in my opinion the best way to invest in this theme is through companies that have some sort of competitive advantage and pricing power, such as ASML(ASML) that has a monopoly in the EUV technology. Micron does not fit that criteria and for that reason I was inclined to avoid it.\nHowever, I find its valuation as ridiculously cheap, given that based on 2022 and 2023 earnings it is currently trading at less than 7x forward earnings. This is extremely undemanding and even if earnings estimates come down somewhat, Micron would still be trading at a much lower valuation than its peers and its own historical average (about 11.5x over the past five years).\nThis means that even though Micron is a cyclical play within the semiconductor industry (my investment approach is to buy mainly secular growth companies), its valuation is too much cheap to ignore and upside potential looks good if pricing in the memory market remains strong. I have bought a small stake in Micron (about 3% of my portfolio) and intend to hold it for a while, but if pricing in the memory market starts to show weakness I most likely will sell my stake.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":206,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817117158,"gmtCreate":1630918096874,"gmtModify":1676530420358,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That will be good&nbsp;","listText":"That will be good&nbsp;","text":"That will be good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817117158","repostId":"1131533711","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812963087,"gmtCreate":1630547014449,"gmtModify":1676530336135,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A new norm","listText":"A new norm","text":"A new norm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/812963087","repostId":"2164819399","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2164819399","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1630538100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2164819399?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-02 07:15","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Even with a COVID surge, New York City is seeing tourists come back: 'It's the turning point we've been waiting for'","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2164819399","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Airbnb says the city is the most popular fall destination among its U.S. travelers.\n\nEven as New Yor","content":"<blockquote>\n Airbnb says the city is the most popular fall destination among its U.S. travelers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Even as New York City grapples with an increase in coronavirus cases over the past several weeks, it is beckoning a growing number of tourists.</p>\n<p>Airbnb <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABNB\">$(ABNB)$</a> says the city is the most popular fall destination among its U.S. travelers, putting the Big Apple ahead of such other popular places as Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts' Berkshires region.

Now, they are nearing or topping 2,000 per day.</p>\n<p>And as relatively rosy as things may be looking, the city is still hardly attracting the volume of visitors it did in the pre-COVID-19 era. In 2019, the city welcomed a record 66.6 million visitors, according to NYC &amp; Company, the city's official tourism organization. In 2020, that number fell to 22.3 million because of the pandemic, but NYC &amp; Company has projected it will increase to 36.4 million in 2021.</p>\n<p>Chris Heywood, executive vice president with NYC &amp; Company, said it's not hard to see why the city is tracking so well for the fall. He pointed to the reopening of Broadway -- a number of shows, including \"Hamilton,\" are resuming performances in September -- as well as the return of several significant annual autumn events that were cancelled in 2020, including the New York City Marathon.</p>\n<p>\"It's the turning point we've been waiting for,\" Heywood said.</p>\n<p>Heywood also said the city may hold appeal to visitors because of the precautions it's taking in relation to the virus, including requiring proof of vaccination for anyone going inside a restaurant or an entertainment venue.</p>\n<p>Lee Schrager, who runs the New York City Wine &amp; Food Festival, said he is \"cautiously optimistic\" about attendance for this year's event, scheduled for Oct. 14-17, but it's a little too early to tell. (Last year's festival was confined to online.) Schrager also said that smaller festival events, such as intimate dinners with renowned chefs, are proving especially popular with ticket buyers, who may be hesitant about committing right now to larger gatherings.</p>\n<p>The city has also added a new attraction of late in the Times Square area -- a Ferris wheel that is run by a private company. It began offering rides in late August and will continue operating through Sept. 12.</p>\n<p>New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, was among those who recently visited the wheel.</p>\n<p>\"This is an amazing experience,\" the mayor said on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR). \"You're floating over Times Square. It's really cool. It's really different.\"</p>\n<p>New York City still faces competition from other destinations, however. Florida has proved popular with visitors -- at least during this year's second quarter before the delta-related spike. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, credited his state's relaxed COVID-19 restrictions for its tourism success.</p>\n<p>\"Florida continues to serve as an example for the country that when you reject lockdowns and unnecessary mandates, your economy will thrive,\" said DeSantis in a statement.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Even with a COVID surge, New York City is seeing tourists come back: 'It's the turning point we've been waiting for'</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nEven with a COVID surge, New York City is seeing tourists come back: 'It's the turning point we've been waiting for'\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-09-02 07:15</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<blockquote>\n Airbnb says the city is the most popular fall destination among its U.S. travelers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Even as New York City grapples with an increase in coronavirus cases over the past several weeks, it is beckoning a growing number of tourists.</p>\n<p>Airbnb <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABNB\">$(ABNB)$</a> says the city is the most popular fall destination among its U.S. travelers, putting the Big Apple ahead of such other popular places as Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts' Berkshires region.

In general, Airbnb said urban locales are trending lately, a change over last year, when rural destinations had strong appeal.\nThe Times Square Alliance, a nonprofit organization that represents the area that is considered the city's tourist hub, also reports a sizable uptick in pedestrian traffic compared to a year ago. Over this past weekend, the organization said 240,000 people visited the area, which represents a 147% increase versus roughly the same period in 2020.\nBusinesses that cater especially to tourists also said they're seeing strong demand for the weeks and months ahead. Carmine's, an Italian restaurant that's been a fixture in Times Square for nearly 30 years, is already filling up for the holidays.\n\"Our November and December are going through the roof,\" said Jeffrey Bank, chief executive officer of Alicart Restaurant Group, the company behind Carmine's.\nThe city still faces challenges, business owners and others concede. For starters, coronavirus numbers are tracking much higher than they were before the delta variant took hold. In June and July, case counts in the city were often falling below 200 per day, according to the New York Times tracker. Now, they are nearing or topping 2,000 per day.\nAnd as relatively rosy as things may be looking, the city is still hardly attracting the volume of visitors it did in the pre-COVID-19 era. In 2019, the city welcomed a record 66.6 million visitors, according to NYC & Company, the city's official tourism organization. In 2020, that number fell to 22.3 million because of the pandemic, but NYC & Company has projected it will increase to 36.4 million in 2021.\nChris Heywood, executive vice president with NYC & Company, said it's not hard to see why the city is tracking so well for the fall. He pointed to the reopening of Broadway -- a number of shows, including \"Hamilton,\" are resuming performances in September -- as well as the return of several significant annual autumn events that were cancelled in 2020, including the New York City Marathon.\n\"It's the turning point we've been waiting for,\" Heywood said.\nHeywood also said the city may hold appeal to visitors because of the precautions it's taking in relation to the virus, including requiring proof of vaccination for anyone going inside a restaurant or an entertainment venue.\nLee Schrager, who runs the New York City Wine & Food Festival, said he is \"cautiously optimistic\" about attendance for this year's event, scheduled for Oct. 14-17, but it's a little too early to tell.

What are they doing for money? ","content":"<p>Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!</p>\n<p>How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.</p>\n<p>I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.</p>\n<p>It’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.</p>\n<p>As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/056158b8fa7157238c3d1521dd05c02e\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809084435ffdcbc0695311d158bb7a98\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Robinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly<b>-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy</b></p>\n<p>This one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.</p>\n<p><b>-Living off family members</b></p>\n<p>Just to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.</p>\n<p><b>-Illegal work</b></p>\n<p>Front and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.</p>\n<p>What about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f8f4b3e6a5aa97a10f5c7bb22dec1d7\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">ORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More<b>-Living off the land</b></p>\n<p>This would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:</p>\n<p>“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”</p>\n<p>Ditto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:</p>\n<p>“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”</p>\n<p>As for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:</p>\n<p>“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.</p>\n<p>Ball says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.</p>\n<p>So there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.</p>\n<p>And some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.</p>\n<p>I would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.</p>\n<p>That example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f197be5c6c11483ec906a1757293e4d\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Of course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.</p>\n<p>It seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.</p>\n<p><b><i>This article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.\nAs a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:\nChart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nEconomists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.\nI’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More\nThere’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy\nThis one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.\n-Living off family members\nJust to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.\n-Illegal work\nFront and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.\nWhat about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.\nORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More-Living off the land\nThis would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:\n“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”\nDitto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:\n“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”\nAs for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:\n“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.\nBall says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.\nSo there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.\nAnd some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.\nI would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.\nThat example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.\nChart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nOf course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.\nIt seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.\nThis article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

Financials and energy posted the biggest sectoral loss on S&P 500, down by 0.81% and 3.33%, respectively.\n“It’s end of the quarter and investors may want to take some profits and rotate out of energy and stick with tech,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York.\nStovall expects stocks should continue their near-term climb as investors await the new earnings season, in which year-over-year earnings growth of S&P 500 companies is expected to top 60%.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 150.57 points, or 0.44%, to close at 34,283.27. The S&P 500 pared earlier losses and advanced from Friday’s record high by gaining 9.91 points, or 0.23%, to 4,290.61. The Nasdaq Composite added 140.12 points, or 0.98%, to 14,500.51.\nBoth the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit a series of record highs last week. the tech-heavy Nasdaq’s 5% gain in June is outpacing its peers as investors pile back in to tech-oriented growth stocks on diminishing worries about runaway inflation.\n“We believe with the Fed putting a realistic goal post, investors now have much more of a risk-on mentality going into the second half of the year. A lot of these tech names have underperformed, while fundamentals were very robust going into the June quarter,” said Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives, who expects the Nasdaq to hit 16,000 by year-end.\nFacebook jumped over 4% as a U.S. judge granted the company’s motion to dismiss a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit. The social media giant finished Monday with over $1 trillion in market capitalization.\nOn the Nasdaq 100, the largest gainer was Nvidia Corp, which rose 5.0% after major chip makers Broadcom Inc, Marvell and Taiwan-based MediaTek endorsed its $40 billion deal to buy UK chip designer Arm.\nWith the S&P 500 up almost 14% as the first half of 2021 draws to a close, activity in some areas of the market indicates concern over potential volatility, with some investors suggesting the market may be overdue for a significant pullback.\nOn the economic front, investor attention will be focused on consumer confidence data, a private jobs report and a crucial monthly employment report due later this week. Quarterly results from Micron Technology Inc and Walgreens Boots Alliance are also slated for this week.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.38-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.09-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 36 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 100 new highs and 31 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 9.55 billion shares, compared with the 11.17 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":76,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174632501,"gmtCreate":1627094163303,"gmtModify":1703484144508,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hyper inflation era!&nbsp;","listText":"Hyper inflation era!&nbsp;","text":"Hyper inflation era!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/174632501","repostId":"2153980423","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153980423","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1627081209,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153980423?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 07:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street surges to all-time closing high on earnings, economic revival","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153980423","media":"Reuters","summary":"* All 3 major indexes post weekly gains\n* Dow closes above 35,000 for first time ever\n* Social media","content":"<p>* All 3 major indexes post weekly gains</p>\n<p>* Dow closes above 35,000 for first time ever</p>\n<p>* Social media stocks rally after upbeat results</p>\n<p>* Intel sales forecast implies rocky second half</p>\n<p>* Indexes up: Dow 0.68%, S&amp;P 1.01%, Nasdaq 1.04%</p>\n<p>Wall Street gained ground for the fourth straight session on Friday, extending a rally that pushed all three major U.S. stock indexes to record closing highs as upbeat earnings and signs of economic revival fueled investor risk appetite.</p>\n<p>The Dow closed above 35,000 for the first time ever.</p>\n<p>\"We see a continuation of the last couple days.

Its contributors include finance giants like Jump Trading Group, DRW and FTX.\nOn Monday, it briefly reported Bitcoin’s price as $5,402. “Engineers are continuing to investigate the cause and a full report is in the works,” Pyth tweeted Monday morning. There have been no further tweets from Pyth on the matter.\nIt’s an eye-catching error for a system that gets its information from some of the most sophisticated traders.\n“For something like this to succeed, the data needs to be something people can rely on,” Joe Molluso, co-president and co-chief operating officer of Pyth contributor Virtu Financial Inc., said in a June interview.\nThings seem to have returned to normal Tuesday. Bitcoin’s price was recently given as $41,888, close to prevailing levels.\nIt’s the second recent problem. Pyth connects to the Solana blockchain, which stopped working for more than 17 hours last week.

Alphabet only reports YouTube's advertising revenue, not revenue from subscription products like YouTube TV and YouTube Premium.</p>\n<p>YouTube's television viewing is growing faster than ever. While the vast majority of YouTube consumption happens on phones, computers and tablets, Alphabet reported huge growth over the past year in people watching on television sets.</p>\n<p>The company said 120 million people watched YouTube on a TV last month, up from 100 million per month last year. Philipp Schindler, Google's chief business officer, said on the company's earnings call Tuesday YouTube on TV is \"the fastest growing consumer surface that we have.\"</p>\n<p>It’s the strongest signal yet that YouTube is encroaching on Netflix (209 million subscribers as of the end of June) and Disney+’s (103.6 million subscribers as of April 3) territory in the living room.</p>\n<p>Nielsen says more people are watching YouTube and Netflix than any other streaming service. Research firm Nielsen released a fascinating study last month showing far more people still watch traditional television than streaming video.</p>\n<p>But Nielsen’s data also had an interesting ranking of time spent streaming on various services. YouTube and Netflix were the top two streamers, with each service accounting for 6% of time spent watching television.</p>\n<p>YouTube’s TikTok rival is also growing. Short-form video is the dominant trend on social media today, with TikTok leading the charge. YouTube has its own short-form video service, YouTube Shorts, designed to compete with TikTok. Alphabet didn’t disclose how many people are using YouTube shorts but said viewing metrics jumped from 6.5 billion views per day in March to 15 billion views per day by the end of last quarter.</p>\n<p>More room to grow. Nielsen’s report last month showed there’s still plenty of room for all streamers to grow as more people migrate away from traditional linear TV.

The internet giant took advantage of an uneven pandemic reopening, catering to homebound users spending more time on screens as well as consumers venturing out to shop and travel.\nSecond-quarter sales for Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent, surged past Wall Street estimates, due to a swell of ads from retail marketers eager to encourage consumer spending -- through e-commerce on YouTube and by physically returning to stores.\nThe company brought in US$61.9 billion in revenue, up from $38.3 billion in Q2 2020, and reported an operating income of $19.4 billion, up from $6.4 billion in Q2 2020.\nIncome (expenses) also rose to $2.6 billion, up from $1.9 billion, while net income reached $18.5 billion, up from $7 billion in 2021.\nDiluted EPS for the quarter was $27.26, up from $10.13 in the same period last year.\n“Our strong second quarter revenues of $61.9 billion reflect elevated consumer online activity and broad-based strength in advertiser spend. Again, we benefited from excellent execution across the board by our teams,” comments Alphabet and Google chief financial officer Ruth Porat.\nAlphabet, which owns and operates Google, also published additional financials related to Google’s performance.\nGoogle advertising: Search brought in US$35.8 billion in Q2 2021, up from $21.3 billion in Q2 2020. YouTube ad revenue totalled $7 billion, up from $3.8 billion, and Google Network totalled $7.6 billion, up from $4.7 billion.\nIn total, Google Services brought in $57 billion, up from $35 billion for the same period last year. Google Services include ads, Android, Chrome, hardware, Google Maps, Google Play, Search, and YouTube. Revenue generation comes from advertising; sales of apps, in-app purchases, digital content products, and hardware; and fees received for subscription-based products such as YouTube Premium and YouTube TV.\nGoogle Cloud reported revenue of $4.6 billion, up from $3 billion for the same period last year.\nGoogle’s total number of employees also rose from 127,498 in Q2 2020 to 144,056 in Q2 2021.\n“In Q2, there was a rising tide of online activity in many parts of the world, and we’re proud that our services helped so many consumers and businesses. Our long-term investments in AI and Google Cloud are helping us drive significant improvements in everyone’s digital experience,” comments Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pinchai.\nYouTube is a proven juggernaut\nWhen we talk about the winners and losers in the streaming wars, the focus is primarily on the subscription services like Disney+, Netflix and HBO Max. But ever since Alphabet started breaking out YouTube's performance early last year, it's become clear it should be right there in the mix with the rest.\nYouTube is not only a streaming video juggernaut that continues to report mind-bending growth, it is also turning into a key rival to the paid services that dominate the conversation around the future of television. And it has plenty of room to grow.\nTake a look at some of the key points we've learned about YouTube's growth recently:\nQuarterly revenue is on a par with Netflix, and it's growing at a faster rate. Alphabet said YouTube booked $7 billion in ad revenue last quarter. That's up 83% from the year-ago quarter. Compare that to the $7.34 billion in revenue Netflix booked during the same period. Netflix's revenue grew 19.4% from a year ago.\nAlso, practically all of Netflix's revenue comes from subscriptions. Alphabet only reports YouTube's advertising revenue, not revenue from subscription products like YouTube TV and YouTube Premium.\nYouTube's television viewing is growing faster than ever. While the vast majority of YouTube consumption happens on phones, computers and tablets, Alphabet reported huge growth over the past year in people watching on television sets.\nThe company said 120 million people watched YouTube on a TV last month, up from 100 million per month last year. Philipp Schindler, Google's chief business officer, said on the company's earnings call Tuesday YouTube on TV is \"the fastest growing consumer surface that we have.\"\nIt’s the strongest signal yet that YouTube is encroaching on Netflix (209 million subscribers as of the end of June) and Disney+’s (103.6 million subscribers as of April 3) territory in the living room.\nNielsen says more people are watching YouTube and Netflix than any other streaming service. Research firm Nielsen released a fascinating study last month showing far more people still watch traditional television than streaming video.\nBut Nielsen’s data also had an interesting ranking of time spent streaming on various services. YouTube and Netflix were the top two streamers, with each service accounting for 6% of time spent watching television.\nYouTube’s TikTok rival is also growing. Short-form video is the dominant trend on social media today, with TikTok leading the charge. YouTube has its own short-form video service, YouTube Shorts, designed to compete with TikTok. Alphabet didn’t disclose how many people are using YouTube shorts but said viewing metrics jumped from 6.5 billion views per day in March to 15 billion views per day by the end of last quarter.\nMore room to grow. Nielsen’s report last month showed there’s still plenty of room for all streamers to grow as more people migrate away from traditional linear TV. Streaming is still just about a quarter of all television viewing. A rising tide lifts all boats. YouTube is poised to be one of the streaming wars winners thanks to its early lead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":819992116,"gmtCreate":1630025866735,"gmtModify":1676530202792,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Keep predicting, will eventually be right","listText":"Keep predicting, will eventually be right","text":"Keep predicting, will eventually be right","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/819992116","repostId":"2162601358","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2162601358","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630025580,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2162601358?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-27 08:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Citi strategist warns of a 10% September plunge — why he could be right","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2162601358","media":"MoneyWise","summary":"Wall Street experts are starting to worry about the surging stock market.\nWhile investing is as easy","content":"<p>Wall Street experts are starting to worry about the surging stock market.</p>\n<p>While investing is as easy these days as using a smartphone app, the market’s record-high hitting price action is prompting observers like Citigroup’s chief US equity strategist, Tobias Levkovich, to warn about difficulties ahead.</p>\n<p>For months, Levkovich has been confident the current situation isn’t sustainable.

The first round of boosters will go to people most at risk of the coronavirus.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":811920197,"gmtCreate":1630284772219,"gmtModify":1676530256134,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple car for his legacy&nbsp;","listText":"Apple car for his legacy&nbsp;","text":"Apple car for his legacy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/811920197","repostId":"1164294381","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164294381","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1630281347,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164294381?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-30 07:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Is What Apple CEO Tim Cook Plans To Do Before Stepping Down","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164294381","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Apple Inc AAPL 0.72%CEO Tim Cook has been leading the tech giant for the last ten years, and a repor","content":"<p><b>Apple Inc</b>&nbsp;AAPL 0.72%CEO&nbsp;<b>Tim Cook</b>&nbsp;has been leading the tech giant for the last ten years, and a report suggests&nbsp;he \"probably\" won't be with&nbsp;the company in another ten years' time.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>The&nbsp;Apple Insider&nbsp;has reported, quoting Bloomberg's Mark Gurman's \"Power On\" newsletter, that Apple employees think Cook will stay around for one more major new product category before stepping down as CEO.</p>\n<p>\"The belief inside Apple is that Cook just wants to stick around for one more major new product category, which is likely to be&nbsp;<b>Augmented Reality Glasses</b>&nbsp;rather than a car — something that's even further out,\" writes Gurman.</p>\n<p>In December 2020,&nbsp;Reuters reported&nbsp;Apple is aiming to launch an autonomous electric vehicle in 2024.</p>\n<p>\"He also understands that running a Silicon Valley company is typically a young person's game, and he's not going to stay far beyond his prime,\" Gurman added.</p>\n<p>In April, when&nbsp;asked&nbsp;about staying with Apple for a decade, Cook said, \"Ten more years?

This month the government temporarily closed part of the world's third-busiest container port at Ningbo for two weeks after a single dockworker was found to have the Delta variant. Earlier this year, wharves in Shenzhen were idled after the discovery of a handful of coronavirus cases.\n\"Port congestion and a shortage of container shipping capacity may last into the fourth quarter or even mid-2022,\" said Hsieh Huey-chuan, president of Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp, the world's seventh-biggest container liner, at an investor briefing on Aug 20. \"If the pandemic cannot be effectively contained, port congestion may become a new normal.\"\nThe cost of sending a container from Asia to Europe is about 10 times higher than in May 2020, while the cost from Shanghai to Los Angeles has grown more than sixfold, according to the Drewry World Container Index. The global supply chain has become so fragile that a single, small accident \"could easily have its effects compounded,\" HSBC Holdings said in a note.\nHigher freight rates and semiconductor prices could feed into inflation, said Chua Hak Bin, senior economist at Maybank Kim Eng Research in Singapore. In addition, producers including Taiwan's Giant Manufacturing Co, the world's biggest bicycle maker, say they will raise prices to reflect the increased costs.\nIn the United States, forecasters have lowered growth projections for this year and lifted inflation expectations into 2022, according to Bloomberg's latest monthly survey of economists. Compared to a year earlier, the personal consumption expenditures price index is now expected to rise 4 per cent in the third quarter and 4.1 per cent in the fourth, double the Federal Reserve's 2 per cent goal.\nHong Kong-based coffee-machine maker Eric Chan doesn't see the crunch easing for months as he juggles a supply line that involves hundreds of components to meet booming demand for kitchen appliances.\n\"We are storing up critical components for one year of usage because if we miss one component, we cannot manufacture the products,\" said Mr Chan, chief executive of Town Ray Holdings, which gets 90 per cent of sales from household brand names in Europe.\nThe spread of the Delta variant, especially in South-east Asia, is making it difficult for many factories to operate at all. In Vietnam, the world's second-largest producer of footwear and clothing, the government has ordered manufacturers to allow workers to sleep in their factories to try to keep exports moving.\nEven mighty Toyota Motor is affected. The automaker warned this month it will suspend output at 14 plants across Japan and slash production by 40 per cent due to supply disruptions including chip shortages.\nOn the other side of the planet, companies in the UK are grappling with record low levels of stock and retail selling prices are rising at the fastest pace since November 2017.\nGermany's recovery is also under threat. A key measure of business confidence in Europe's largest economy, released on Wednesday by the Munich-based Ifo institute. fell by more than economists had predicted with the drop blamed in part on shortages for metals, plastic products and semiconductors, among other goods.\n\"It is hard to see supply chain bottlenecks being resolved any time soon, with some major exporters including Indonesia and Vietnam still struggling to contain the Delta outbreak,\" said Bloomberg Economics chief Asia economist Chang Shu. \"It could continue to drag on the global recovery by slowing production and pushing up costs, although not derailing it.\"\nAt the heart of the price pressures is the transportation bottleneck.\nBig retailers tend to have long-term contracts with container lines, but Asian production relies on networks of tens of thousands of small and medium-sized producers who often arrange shipping through logistics firms and freight forwarders. They in turn have been struggling to secure space for clients as vessel owners sell to the highest bidders.\nSome 60 per cent to 70 per cent of shipping deals on the Asia-America route are done through spot or short-term deals, according to Michael Wang, an analyst at President Capital Management Corp. He said auction-style pricing may continue until Chinese New Year in Feb 2022.\nBuyers agree. In Germany, more than half of the 3,000 firms polled by the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce expected widespread supply-chain problems to persist into next year.\n'No Choice\n\"Now container liners don't sign long-term agreements, and most deals are done by spot prices,\" said Jason Lo, CEO of Taiwanese gym equipment maker Johnson Health Tech Co. He said it was becoming impossible to estimate shipping costs and do financial planning, but \"we have no choice.\"\nColin Sung, general manager of Dongguan-based World-Beater International Logistics, said one client had more than 70 containers of goods sitting at a warehouse in Shenzhen because his American buyer didn't want to pay the shipping cost. Mr Sung said 60 per cent to 70 per cent of his clients have cut shipments due to rising costs.\nFor Asian factories outside China, the problem is even worse. Many Chinese companies are willing to pay above-market rates to load their cargo, said a spokesman at HMM Co, South Korea's biggest container line. So when the ships call at ports outside China, they're already almost full.\nChinese companies that spent decades shifting production of lower-value components to cheaper labour markets in South and Southeast Asia now face the headache of trying to get those parts to factories where they can be assembled into finished products.\n\"We are talking about a lot of money just to move things around,\" said Sunny Tan, executive vice president of Luen Thai International Group, which makes clothing and leather handbags for global brands.\nAs factories succumb to lockdowns, manufacturers are forced into a game of whac-a-mole, switching raw materials from one country to another. Some have resorted to air-freighting materials such as leather to factories to keep production lines rolling.\nMeanwhile, Luen Thai's Mr Tan, who is also deputy chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, is trying to figure out how he'll fill festive display windows in time for Christmas. \"I wish when shoppers see our product they give it a kiss when they realise how difficult it was just to get it to the shelf.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898191501,"gmtCreate":1628476473303,"gmtModify":1703506675498,"author":{"id":"3555288390119843","authorId":"3555288390119843","name":"SXZX2026","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ce9bd591611bdaa026b6c3ada85d2c","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555288390119843","authorIdStr":"3555288390119843"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"BNTX...

The difference is that YouTube is growing at four times the clip of the video-streaming's sales, putting up nearly as much ad revenue in three months as it did in all of 2020, when YouTube ads totaled $7.85 billion in revenue. \n</p>\n<p>\n  And that is not all the money that YouTube generates. Subscription fees, the type of revenue Netflix generates while eschewing ads, are counted in a separate category for Google. While executives did not break out specific performance of YouTube's subscription products -- which include YouTube TV, YouTube Premium and YouTube Music -- the company's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission noted the entire category of revenue grew $1.5 billion to $6.6 billion, and credited YouTube subscriptions for the growth ahead of other factors. That suggests enough revenue to easily surpass the $300 million difference between the two services' reported quarterly revenue. \n</p>\n<p>\n  And Netflix thought it faced stiff competition from Walt Disney Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">$(DIS)$</a>, AT&amp;T Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a>, Apple Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a>, and Comcast Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMCSA\">$(CMCSA)$</a>. \n</p>\n<p>\n  \"Putting the super in super checkmark,\" Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney hailed in a July 27 note that touted the performance of YouTube as a major reason for lifting Google's price target to $3,160 from $2,825. Advertisers are increasingly using brand and direct response to \"drive superior\" return on investment via YouTube. \"YouTube is experiencing an ad product inflection point,\" he wrote. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Read more: Google parent Alphabet's worth to Wall Street soars after blowout results, with UBS lifting share-price target to $3,600 a share  \n</p>\n<p>\n  In raising his price target on Google shares to $3,200, Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler cited long-term advertising revenue growth driven by search and YouTube, as well as advertisers increasingly approaching YouTube as a \"full-funnel solution.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n  The truth is boldly underlined by the numbers, according to JMP Securities analyst Ron Josey. YouTube has more than 2 billion monthly average users with over 1 billion hours of video watched daily. YouTube Shorts, which launched in the U.S. in March, recently surpassed 15 billion daily views. A Nielsen study suggests 70% of reach on YouTube was incremental to TV media ads, and that advertisers that shift 20% of TV spend to YouTube should see a 25% increase in total campaign reach with a lower cost per reach of 20%. More than 120 million people watch YouTube on a TV monthly, up from 100 million a year ago, Josey noted. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Netflix, by comparison, has more than 200 million paid subscribers. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Google executives highlighted YouTube's performance during a call with analysts as an explanation for revenue ($61.9 billion) and earnings ($18.5 billion) that smashed Wall Street forecasts. \n</p>\n<p>\n  \"During the pandemic, we've seen more consumers use YouTube to discover and shop,\" Google Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler told analysts during a conference call late Tuesday. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Read more: Google's wave of digital ad sales helps it crush revenue, earnings estimates  \n</p>\n<p>\n  YouTube monetization is taking shape, AB Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik said, with ad revenue catapulting $1 billion sequentially and subscriptions on YouTube a \"key driver\" of Google's Other business division. \"Google continues to fight for linear TV ad dollars, with the users incremental to TV audiences,\" Shmulik wrote July 28 in a note that maintains an outperform rating on Google shares with a price target of $3,200. \"This quarter's strength was driven primarily by the continued recovery in brand dollars.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n  Added Barclays analyst Ross Sandler: \"Digital advertising is proving to be very resilient in this economic cycle, and the growth rates across the space, including at Google and YouTube, are staggering owing to share shift and easy comps -- some of the highest figures we may ever see.\" (He jacked up Google's price target to $3,200 from $3,000 in a July 27 note to clients.) \n</p>\n<p>\n  -Jon Swartz \n</p>\n<pre>\n \n</pre>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/END\">$(END)$</a> Dow Jones Newswires\n</p>\n<p>\n  July 31, 2021 14:49 ET (18:49 GMT)\n</p>\n<p>\n  Copyright (c) 2021 Dow Jones &amp;

Micron caters to the personal computer (PC), cloud server, enterprise, graphics, and networking markets through this segment. There is great demand for memory chips in all these markets, which is leading to tight supplies and higher prices.</p>\n<p>Memory market research firm TrendForce estimates that the price of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) could increase between 3% and 8% in the third quarter of the calendar year over Q2. The price increase is a result of strong server and PC DRAM demand and constrained supply.</p>\n<p>Similarly, the demand for NAND flash has also remained high due to the increased adoption of SSDs (solid-state drives) in both consumer PCs and enterprise hardware. A tight supply means that the price of NAND flash memory is expected to increase between 5% and 10% this quarter, which bodes well for Micron's storage business unit (SBU). The segment produced 13% of Micron's top line last quarter, and its revenue was flat year over year at $1 billion -- but it could improve given the end-market dynamics.</p>\n<p>The mobile business unit, meanwhile, has hit a purple patch. Its revenue increased 31% year over year in Q3 thanks to the ramp-up in 5G smartphone demand. With 5G smartphones expected to increase at a whopping pace in the next five years, Micron's mobile business has room to run higher.</p>\n<p>The robust memory demand isn't going to go away anytime soon. According to a third-party forecast, memory chip demand is expected to increase 31.7% in 2021, followed by a double-digit increase in 2022, which explains why analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's growth to pick up the pace next fiscal year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11c5f766491fbfe99b0a6f8d1f0d45f6\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>MU Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Nvidia</h2>\n<p>Nvidia's stock market returns in 2021 have been driven by the company's outstanding results. The graphics specialist is growing at a much faster pace than Micron, with its fiscal first-quarter revenue jumping 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. Tremendous demand for Nvidia's graphics cards, which are used in PCs, sent its video gaming revenue soaring. The segment's revenue doubled year over year and accounted for close to half of its top line.</p>\n<p>There are two reasons why the video gaming segment is set for terrific growth in the long haul. First, Nvidia dominates this market with a market share of 81%, according to Jon Peddie Research. It is also worth noting that the chipmaker has substantially increased its presence in the gaming laptop market.</p>\n<p>The company's dominant position in the gaming graphics card market brings us to the second reason why this segment is built for growth. Jon Peddie Research estimates that gaming graphics cards could generate $54 billion in revenue by 2025, which would be a big jump over last year's sales of $23.6 billion. Nvidia sold&nbsp;$7.76 billion worth of graphics cards in fiscal 2021, so the additional revenue opportunity on offer and the company's huge market share indicates that this business still has a lot of room for growth.</p>\n<p>There's a similar story to Nvidia's data center business, which is its second-largest source of revenue. The segment's revenue shot up 79% year over year in Q1, crossing $2 billion in quarterly sales for the first&nbsp;time. With the data center accelerator market expected to clock $53 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027, according to a third-party estimate, the segment's growth streak seems sustainable.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is doing well in the market for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), with large cloud service providers preferring to use the company's chips to accelerate workloads. The data center GPU market alone is expected to generate $20 billion in revenue by 2027. Nvidia sold almost $6.7 billion worth of data center GPUs last fiscal year, and the massive revenue opportunity points toward more upside in this business.</p>\n<p>Throw in the fact that Nvidia is now moving to tap the other fast-growing niches of the data center accelerator market, such as server central processing units (CPUs) and data processing units (DPUs), and it becomes easier to see why this segment probably won't run out of steam. Such solid growth drivers make it clear why Nvidia's earnings are expected to jump substantially in the future at an annual pace of nearly 27%.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>It is evident that both Nvidia and Micron Technology have impressive catalysts that could help them sustain their impressive pace of growth. Value-oriented investors, however, may lean toward buying Micron stock, as it trades at just 20 times trailing earnings, compared to Nvidia's multiple of nearly 91.</p>\n<p>But then, Nvidia is growing at a much faster rate than Micron, as we saw above, which is why its premium seems justified. Additionally, Nvidia dominates its space, while Micron faces competition from the likes of <b>SK Hynix</b> and <b>Samsung</b>. Micron reportedly controls 23.5% of the DRAM market, which makes it a smaller player than the other two, while it stands in fourth position in the NAND market, with a share of just&nbsp;11.2%.</p>\n<p>That's why investors with a higher risk tolerance might want to consider buying Nvidia stock to benefit from the tech giant's supremacy in graphics cards, as it seems capable of outperforming Micron in the future like it has done so far this year.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBetter Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-25 09:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MU":"美光科技","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2153350439","content_text":"Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar results quarter after quarter.

Its revenue increased 31% year over year in Q3 thanks to the ramp-up in 5G smartphone demand. With 5G smartphones expected to increase at a whopping pace in the next five years, Micron's mobile business has room to run higher.\nThe robust memory demand isn't going to go away anytime soon. According to a third-party forecast, memory chip demand is expected to increase 31.7% in 2021, followed by a double-digit increase in 2022, which explains why analysts expect Micron's growth to pick up the pace next fiscal year.\nMU Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts\nThe case for Nvidia\nNvidia's stock market returns in 2021 have been driven by the company's outstanding results. The graphics specialist is growing at a much faster pace than Micron, with its fiscal first-quarter revenue jumping 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. Tremendous demand for Nvidia's graphics cards, which are used in PCs, sent its video gaming revenue soaring. The segment's revenue doubled year over year and accounted for close to half of its top line.\nThere are two reasons why the video gaming segment is set for terrific growth in the long haul. First, Nvidia dominates this market with a market share of 81%, according to Jon Peddie Research. It is also worth noting that the chipmaker has substantially increased its presence in the gaming laptop market.\nThe company's dominant position in the gaming graphics card market brings us to the second reason why this segment is built for growth. Jon Peddie Research estimates that gaming graphics cards could generate $54 billion in revenue by 2025, which would be a big jump over last year's sales of $23.6 billion. Nvidia sold $7.76 billion worth of graphics cards in fiscal 2021, so the additional revenue opportunity on offer and the company's huge market share indicates that this business still has a lot of room for growth.\nThere's a similar story to Nvidia's data center business, which is its second-largest source of revenue. The segment's revenue shot up 79% year over year in Q1, crossing $2 billion in quarterly sales for the first time. With the data center accelerator market expected to clock $53 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027, according to a third-party estimate, the segment's growth streak seems sustainable.\nNvidia is doing well in the market for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), with large cloud service providers preferring to use the company's chips to accelerate workloads. The data center GPU market alone is expected to generate $20 billion in revenue by 2027. Nvidia sold almost $6.7 billion worth of data center GPUs last fiscal year, and the massive revenue opportunity points toward more upside in this business.\nThrow in the fact that Nvidia is now moving to tap the other fast-growing niches of the data center accelerator market, such as server central processing units (CPUs) and data processing units (DPUs), and it becomes easier to see why this segment probably won't run out of steam. Such solid growth drivers make it clear why Nvidia's earnings are expected to jump substantially in the future at an annual pace of nearly 27%.\nThe verdict\nIt is evident that both Nvidia and Micron Technology have impressive catalysts that could help them sustain their impressive pace of growth. Value-oriented investors, however, may lean toward buying Micron stock, as it trades at just 20 times trailing earnings, compared to Nvidia's multiple of nearly 91.\nBut then, Nvidia is growing at a much faster rate than Micron, as we saw above, which is why its premium seems justified. Additionally, Nvidia dominates its space, while Micron faces competition from the likes of SK Hynix and Samsung. Micron reportedly controls 23.5% of the DRAM market, which makes it a smaller player than the other two, while it stands in fourth position in the NAND market, with a share of just 11.2%.\nThat's why investors with a higher risk tolerance might want to consider buying Nvidia stock to benefit from the tech giant's supremacy in graphics cards, as it seems capable of outperforming Micron in the future like it has done so far this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":91,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
