After Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine, Icahn sold his stake in the company, which he had held since 2019. On the flip side, Warren Buffett has been buying Occidental shares hand over fist throughout the year, scooping up over 20% of the American oil driller.</p><p>So which famous investor is right? Well, Buffett buying from Icahn has actually happened once before, with a small company you may have heard of called <b>Apple</b> (AAPL -3.22%).</p><p>Judging from that experience, Buffett could do very, very well with Occidental.</p><h2>Apple&#39;s buyback is a result of Icahn activism</h2><p>Carl Icahn is what is known as an activist investor. Activists buy shares in a company that is valued cheaply, due to something the investor perceives as a mistake or flaw. An activist usually purchases a meaningful position, then privately and publicly advocates for changes to unlock value.</p><p>Icahn took his first position in Apple in late 2013, when Apple was trading rather cheaply and had a ton of cash on its balance sheet. In January 2014, Icahn wrote a letter to the board and met with CEO Tim Cook, advocating that Apple begin returning that cash to shareholders in the form of share repurchases.</p><p>Buying back stock at a low valuation can add a lot of value to shareholders, but Apple had hoarded cash even as its iPhone sales grew massively in the early 2010s. That caution stemmed from Apple&#39;s more tumultuous past, when it nearly went bankrupt in the late 1990s.</p><p>Apple had already begun paying a small dividend, but did eventually implement a large buyback, as Icahn requested, in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, Apple also had a particularly good sales year, a result of its high growth in China. That year also included the introduction of the Apple Watch.</p><p>Yet after a boom in 2015, 2016 saw a slowdown, with the volatile China market giving back some its big 2015 gains. Icahn dumped his Apple stake, saying he was &#34;worried about China.&#34; But he had already made a $2 billion profit on a $3.2 billion investment.</p><h2>Buffett swoops in</h2><p>Of course, that very downturn was when Warren Buffett began buying Apple for <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>&#39;s (BRK.A -0.59%) (BRK.B -1.13%) portfolio. As Buffett watchers know by now, Buffett made even bigger gains than Icahn. Over the five years though 2021, Buffett&#39;s investment in Apple went up more than fivefold, and became Buffett&#39;s greatest investment in terms of overall dollar returns.</p><p>Buffett likely identified Apple not only as a cheap stock amid the pessimism of 2016, but also as a powerful brand with huge customer loyalty. With the smartphone becoming such an important part of people&#39;s lives, it was also becoming &#34;expensive real estate.&#34; At that time, Apple was also extending its brand to services, charging fees to third-party apps for access to that real estate.</p><p>Buffett probably liked the recurring nature of Apple&#39;s service and app store fees that it could extract from both iPhone owners and businesses looking to gain access to those masses of affluent consumers.</p><p>When you combine that with Apple&#39;s newfound improved capital allocation to shareholders, the investment seems like a no-brainer in retrospect.</p><p>So while Icahn saw a good but flawed business he could improve and then exit for a quick profit, Buffett likely saw a now-flawlessly run business (after Icahn&#39;s fixes) that he could own for the long haul.</p><h2>Is the same thing happening with Occidental?</h2><p>Turning to Occidental, Icahn bought shares in the company after its expensive $38 billion acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum back in May 2019. Shares plunged, as investors believed Occidental paid too much in a bidding war.</p><p>Icahn bought shares, accused management of making a terrible acquisition, and advocated firing CEO Vicki Hollub while demanding seats on the board of directors. When oil prices plunged in March of 2020 as COVID-19 spread, Icahn increased his stake and therefore his heft in the company.</p><p>Eventually, Icahn struck a deal, allowing him to put two of his deputies and another hand-picked executive on the board, while also bringing in former CEO Stephen Chazen to become executive chairman. The new board also formed a committee that would oversee any acquisitions, putting a check on Gollub&#39;s power, while also exploring a sale of the company to another oil major.</p><p>Eventually, the oil market recovered strongly from the pandemic downturn, as demand normalized after a year of big industry supply cuts. When Russia invaded Ukraine, oil spiked, as did Occidental&#39;s stock, and Icahn exited the investment with a handsome $1 billion in profits, along with another $500 million gain in Occidental warrants.</p><h2>Once again, Buffett thinks longer term</h2><p>While Buffett hasn&#39;t spoken much publicly this year on his Occidental buys, he likely has a bullish view of the oil market for the long term, while also appreciating Occidental specifically. Berkshire had already invested in Occidental in 2019 in the form of preferred stock to finance the Anadarko deal, but that was a safer fixed-income investment, albeit with warrants. So Buffett likely got to know management well during that time.</p><p>Yet no oil company can do really well without the price of oil and natural gas cooperating, and Buffett probably sees higher prices for longer in the oil market. That&#39;s likely for a number of reasons, including years of underinvestment in oil and gas exploration, U.S. shale companies consolidating and controlling their supply growth, and Russia&#39;s weaponizing of global energy markets.</p><p>In other words, Buffett is betting on a change from low to high oil prices, not dissimilar to the smartphone transitioning from mere gadget to an indispensable part of our daily lives.</p><h2>Both approaches can win, but nonprofessionals can only play one</h2><p>As you can see, both investors have different approaches. Icahn identifies cheap companies, then uses his financial heft and reputation to advocate for changes. After such changes are made and the investment improves, he usually exits, using the relatively quick profits to go on to the next special situation.</p><p>In contrast, Buffett tries to find quality stocks trading at cheap prices that he can hold for the long term, allowing the miracle of compounding to do its work.</p><p>While only institutional investors or incredibly wealthy individuals like Icahn can buy enough stock in a company to be an activist, any investor can attempt Buffett&#39;s more Foolish approach of long-term investing in excellent companies. Fortunately for us, that approach also tends to yield even more long-term profits, if done correctly.</p><p>But excellent companies don&#39;t often go on sale. It&#39;s interesting that in the situations of both Apple and Occidental, Icahn was able to improve capital allocation at an otherwise well-run business. Icahn even praised Occidental&#39;s land inventory and management&#39;s operational capabilities, even while advocating for changes.</p><p>Those changes likely made Buffett more comfortable in the compounding ability of each stock, and he probably identified these improvements as more permanent before the market did.</p><p>So why doesn&#39;t Icahn hold on to his &#34;fixed companies&#34; for the long term, as Buffett does? Icahn appears to idealize the strategy of activism and improving companies, almost irrespective of profit. In order to continue launching new campaigns, Icahn needs to continue recycling his older bets in order to bid for new targets. So Icahn exiting a stock might not mean he feels the stock is now a bad investment, it&#39;s just that his work is now done.</p><p>We&#39;ll see how Occidental fares in the future, but since buying a &#34;fixed up&#34; Apple worked out so well for Buffett last time, you have to like his odds with Occidental -- as long as the thesis of higher oil prices for a longer time proves true.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Icahn sold his stake in the company, which he had held since 2019. On the flip side, Warren Buffett has been buying Occidental shares hand over fist throughout the year, scooping up over 20% of the American oil driller.So which famous investor is right? Well, Buffett buying from Icahn has actually happened once before, with a small company you may have heard of called Apple (AAPL -3.22%).Judging from that experience, Buffett could do very, very well with Occidental.Apple's buyback is a result of Icahn activismCarl Icahn is what is known as an activist investor. Activists buy shares in a company that is valued cheaply, due to something the investor perceives as a mistake or flaw. An activist usually purchases a meaningful position, then privately and publicly advocates for changes to unlock value.Icahn took his first position in Apple in late 2013, when Apple was trading rather cheaply and had a ton of cash on its balance sheet. In January 2014, Icahn wrote a letter to the board and met with CEO Tim Cook, advocating that Apple begin returning that cash to shareholders in the form of share repurchases.Buying back stock at a low valuation can add a lot of value to shareholders, but Apple had hoarded cash even as its iPhone sales grew massively in the early 2010s. That caution stemmed from Apple's more tumultuous past, when it nearly went bankrupt in the late 1990s.Apple had already begun paying a small dividend, but did eventually implement a large buyback, as Icahn requested, in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, Apple also had a particularly good sales year, a result of its high growth in China. That year also included the introduction of the Apple Watch.Yet after a boom in 2015, 2016 saw a slowdown, with the volatile China market giving back some its big 2015 gains. Icahn dumped his Apple stake, saying he was \"worried about China.\" But he had already made a $2 billion profit on a $3.2 billion investment.Buffett swoops inOf course, that very downturn was when Warren Buffett began buying Apple for Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A -0.59%) (BRK.B -1.13%) portfolio. As Buffett watchers know by now, Buffett made even bigger gains than Icahn. Over the five years though 2021, Buffett's investment in Apple went up more than fivefold, and became Buffett's greatest investment in terms of overall dollar returns.Buffett likely identified Apple not only as a cheap stock amid the pessimism of 2016, but also as a powerful brand with huge customer loyalty. With the smartphone becoming such an important part of people's lives, it was also becoming \"expensive real estate.\" At that time, Apple was also extending its brand to services, charging fees to third-party apps for access to that real estate.Buffett probably liked the recurring nature of Apple's service and app store fees that it could extract from both iPhone owners and businesses looking to gain access to those masses of affluent consumers.When you combine that with Apple's newfound improved capital allocation to shareholders, the investment seems like a no-brainer in retrospect.So while Icahn saw a good but flawed business he could improve and then exit for a quick profit, Buffett likely saw a now-flawlessly run business (after Icahn's fixes) that he could own for the long haul.Is the same thing happening with Occidental?Turning to Occidental, Icahn bought shares in the company after its expensive $38 billion acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum back in May 2019. Shares plunged, as investors believed Occidental paid too much in a bidding war.Icahn bought shares, accused management of making a terrible acquisition, and advocated firing CEO Vicki Hollub while demanding seats on the board of directors. When oil prices plunged in March of 2020 as COVID-19 spread, Icahn increased his stake and therefore his heft in the company.Eventually, Icahn struck a deal, allowing him to put two of his deputies and another hand-picked executive on the board, while also bringing in former CEO Stephen Chazen to become executive chairman. The new board also formed a committee that would oversee any acquisitions, putting a check on Gollub's power, while also exploring a sale of the company to another oil major.Eventually, the oil market recovered strongly from the pandemic downturn, as demand normalized after a year of big industry supply cuts. When Russia invaded Ukraine, oil spiked, as did Occidental's stock, and Icahn exited the investment with a handsome $1 billion in profits, along with another $500 million gain in Occidental warrants.Once again, Buffett thinks longer termWhile Buffett hasn't spoken much publicly this year on his Occidental buys, he likely has a bullish view of the oil market for the long term, while also appreciating Occidental specifically. Berkshire had already invested in Occidental in 2019 in the form of preferred stock to finance the Anadarko deal, but that was a safer fixed-income investment, albeit with warrants. So Buffett likely got to know management well during that time.Yet no oil company can do really well without the price of oil and natural gas cooperating, and Buffett probably sees higher prices for longer in the oil market. That's likely for a number of reasons, including years of underinvestment in oil and gas exploration, U.S. shale companies consolidating and controlling their supply growth, and Russia's weaponizing of global energy markets.In other words, Buffett is betting on a change from low to high oil prices, not dissimilar to the smartphone transitioning from mere gadget to an indispensable part of our daily lives.Both approaches can win, but nonprofessionals can only play oneAs you can see, both investors have different approaches. Icahn identifies cheap companies, then uses his financial heft and reputation to advocate for changes. After such changes are made and the investment improves, he usually exits, using the relatively quick profits to go on to the next special situation.In contrast, Buffett tries to find quality stocks trading at cheap prices that he can hold for the long term, allowing the miracle of compounding to do its work.While only institutional investors or incredibly wealthy individuals like Icahn can buy enough stock in a company to be an activist, any investor can attempt Buffett's more Foolish approach of long-term investing in excellent companies. Fortunately for us, that approach also tends to yield even more long-term profits, if done correctly.But excellent companies don't often go on sale. It's interesting that in the situations of both Apple and Occidental, Icahn was able to improve capital allocation at an otherwise well-run business. Icahn even praised Occidental's land inventory and management's operational capabilities, even while advocating for changes.Those changes likely made Buffett more comfortable in the compounding ability of each stock, and he probably identified these improvements as more permanent before the market did.So why doesn't Icahn hold on to his \"fixed companies\" for the long term, as Buffett does? Icahn appears to idealize the strategy of activism and improving companies, almost irrespective of profit. In order to continue launching new campaigns, Icahn needs to continue recycling his older bets in order to bid for new targets. So Icahn exiting a stock might not mean he feels the stock is now a bad investment, it's just that his work is now done.We'll see how Occidental fares in the future, but since buying a \"fixed up\" Apple worked out so well for Buffett last time, you have to like his odds with Occidental -- as long as the thesis of higher oil prices for a longer time proves true.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":835,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9915599711,"gmtCreate":1665064692833,"gmtModify":1676537551517,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a> This vs Digital Core.

Amazon Web Services outperforms Alibaba Cloud.</li><li>Based off of valuation, however, Alibaba appears to present investors with more upside.</li></ul><p>In this article, I am going to compare the growth prospects, risks and valuations of the two largest e-Commerce companies on the planet: Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Amazon (AMZN). The shares of both e-Commerce companies have under-performed this year, in large part because of a post-pandemic slowdown in global economic growth and soaring inflation, which is impacting consumer spending. Both factors have created considerable uncertainty for the e-Commerce sector. With Alibaba&#39;s and Amazon&#39;s shares repricing 31% and 29% lower year to date, both companies have pros and cons. While Amazon has a couple of advantages, I believe Alibaba may be the better deal!</p><h3>Top line growth is slowing</h3><p>Both Alibaba and Amazon have seen a significant slowdown in top line growth in the last quarter as inflation headwinds and weaker economic growth after the pandemic impacted their businesses. Alibaba&#39;s revenue growth slowed to 0% (Alibaba&#39;s China commerce business actually declined 1% in FQ1&#39;23), the worst performance on record for Alibaba, while Amazon&#39;s top line growth slowed to just 7% year over year in Q2&#39;22, reflecting a 20-year low point for Amazon.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c8e186dd99f407cefff10a514963209\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The near term outlook for revenue growth is stronger for Amazon than it is for Alibaba right now, largely because Amazon has said in its second-quarter earnings sheet that it sees between $125.0B and $130.0B in net revenues in Q3&#39;22, implying a revenue growth rate of 13-17% year over year. Alibaba has not given a forecast either for the next quarter or the full-year due to uncertainty about e-Commerce sales in a country that is still seeing broad-scale COVID-19 lockdowns.</p><p>Regarding forward annual estimates, Amazon is expected to do better than Alibaba. Consensus forecasts call for Amazon to see revenue growth of 11% this year and 15% next year... while Alibaba is projected to grow its top line at rates of 2% and 13%. Estimates have also dropped more for Alibaba, indicating that the market is a bit more pessimistic about BABA than AMZN...</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cfb699752690bee5d266602e602f54c6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>A key component that is driving Amazon&#39;s stronger top line growth is AWS -- Amazon Web Services -- which is ramping up revenue growth rapidly due to strong customer adoption of Cloud solutions. Amazon Web Services generated $19.7B in revenues for the company just in the second-quarter, showing 33% year-over-year growth. The revenue share within Amazon was about 16%, and I see this share growing to more than 20% within the next 2-3 years. The Cloud business is by far Amazon&#39;s highest potential business segment, and it is driving the firm&#39;s entire revenue growth. As opposed to e-Commerce, AWS is also highly profitable, generating $5.7B in operating income (29% margin) while Amazon&#39;s e-Commerce operations in North America and International continued to lose money in Q2&#39;22.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf6b9305f4c2e6a34ae177f4fbf2b453\" tg-width=\"997\" tg-height=\"558\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>On the other hand, Alibaba&#39;s Cloud business generated $17.7B Chinese Yuan ($2.6B) in revenues in the last quarter, showing a growth rate of 10% year over year. Cloud revenues represented just 9% of Alibaba&#39;s total revenues, while the commerce business (China and International) dominated with a revenue share of 76%.</p><p>So not only is Amazon&#39;s Cloud business responsible for most of Amazon&#39;s top line growth, but AWS is also growing more than three times faster than Alibaba&#39;s Cloud segment. On top of that, Amazon has a significant advantage regarding market share in the Cloud market, with AWS ranking #1 and capturing a third of the global Cloud market. Alibaba was ranked a fairly distant fourth with a market share of 5%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3fc7e061c51a9302b961534712e9ceb\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"1200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Valuation: key differences emerge</p><p>Amazon and Alibaba have both been highly valued during the pandemic because online retailers faced super attractive growth prospects at a time when the physical competition was all but taken out of the game by health authorities. The post-pandemic normalization of e-Commerce growth and the resulting re-rating of Amazon and Alibaba, however, have changed things up a bit.</p><p>Amazon and Alibaba are both profitable and are expected to remain profitable. But a key difference has emerged regarding the firms&#39; valuations. While Amazon is still expensive relative to its earnings potential (52 X P-E ratio), Alibaba is trading at a rock-bottom P-E ratio of 10 X... which represents stronger potential for an upside revaluation.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7ebff75c4be142c889fae2114dedd6f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Risks with Alibaba and Amazon</h3><p>Both companies are facing deteriorating prospects in their core e-Commerce operations due to high inflation, which is impacting consumer spending. Amazon and Alibaba are both highly dependent on consumer spending, and both companies continue to be dominated by their e-Commerce operations (Alibaba&#39;s commerce share is 76% while Amazon&#39;s is 84%).</p><p>Besides top line risks which both companies share, there are other more company-specific risks that matter: Amazon is generating a large number of sales outside the US, meaning the retailer has exposure to the appreciating US Dollar. A strong US Dollar hurts currency conversions, which is a headwind for Amazon.</p><p>For Alibaba, there are regulatory and delisting risks that are affecting the pricing of its shares. I believe that a delisting of Alibaba&#39;s ADR from a US stock exchange is highly unlikely to occur because the firm secured a primary listing status for its shares in Hong Kong, which gives US investors an alternative marketplace to buy shares. Due to the primary listing status, Alibaba&#39;s shares are also available for mainland Chinese investors through the Hong Kong stock connect program.</p><h3>Final thoughts</h3><p>When comparing Alibaba and Amazon, there are many factors that must be considered. Both companies obviously are going through a post-pandemic adjustment period of slowing growth. Both companies are investing in the Cloud market and are facing challenges in their core segments.</p><p>Amazon has a stronger short term revenue outlook than Alibaba as it projects 13-17% revenue growth in the third-quarter, while Alibaba may actually see negative revenue growth in FQ2&#39;23. Estimate trends favor Amazon as well. From a valuation perspective, I believe Alibaba wins the comparison, however, because the Chinese company trades at a fraction of Amazon&#39;s P-E ratio.

Amazon Web Services outperforms Alibaba Cloud.Based off of valuation, however, Alibaba appears to present investors with more upside.In this article, I am going to compare the growth prospects, risks and valuations of the two largest e-Commerce companies on the planet: Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Amazon (AMZN). The shares of both e-Commerce companies have under-performed this year, in large part because of a post-pandemic slowdown in global economic growth and soaring inflation, which is impacting consumer spending. Both factors have created considerable uncertainty for the e-Commerce sector. With Alibaba's and Amazon's shares repricing 31% and 29% lower year to date, both companies have pros and cons. While Amazon has a couple of advantages, I believe Alibaba may be the better deal!Top line growth is slowingBoth Alibaba and Amazon have seen a significant slowdown in top line growth in the last quarter as inflation headwinds and weaker economic growth after the pandemic impacted their businesses. Alibaba's revenue growth slowed to 0% (Alibaba's China commerce business actually declined 1% in FQ1'23), the worst performance on record for Alibaba, while Amazon's top line growth slowed to just 7% year over year in Q2'22, reflecting a 20-year low point for Amazon.The near term outlook for revenue growth is stronger for Amazon than it is for Alibaba right now, largely because Amazon has said in its second-quarter earnings sheet that it sees between $125.0B and $130.0B in net revenues in Q3'22, implying a revenue growth rate of 13-17% year over year. Alibaba has not given a forecast either for the next quarter or the full-year due to uncertainty about e-Commerce sales in a country that is still seeing broad-scale COVID-19 lockdowns.Regarding forward annual estimates, Amazon is expected to do better than Alibaba. Consensus forecasts call for Amazon to see revenue growth of 11% this year and 15% next year... while Alibaba is projected to grow its top line at rates of 2% and 13%. Estimates have also dropped more for Alibaba, indicating that the market is a bit more pessimistic about BABA than AMZN...A key component that is driving Amazon's stronger top line growth is AWS -- Amazon Web Services -- which is ramping up revenue growth rapidly due to strong customer adoption of Cloud solutions. Amazon Web Services generated $19.7B in revenues for the company just in the second-quarter, showing 33% year-over-year growth. The revenue share within Amazon was about 16%, and I see this share growing to more than 20% within the next 2-3 years. The Cloud business is by far Amazon's highest potential business segment, and it is driving the firm's entire revenue growth. As opposed to e-Commerce, AWS is also highly profitable, generating $5.7B in operating income (29% margin) while Amazon's e-Commerce operations in North America and International continued to lose money in Q2'22.On the other hand, Alibaba's Cloud business generated $17.7B Chinese Yuan ($2.6B) in revenues in the last quarter, showing a growth rate of 10% year over year. Cloud revenues represented just 9% of Alibaba's total revenues, while the commerce business (China and International) dominated with a revenue share of 76%.So not only is Amazon's Cloud business responsible for most of Amazon's top line growth, but AWS is also growing more than three times faster than Alibaba's Cloud segment. On top of that, Amazon has a significant advantage regarding market share in the Cloud market, with AWS ranking #1 and capturing a third of the global Cloud market. Alibaba was ranked a fairly distant fourth with a market share of 5%.Valuation: key differences emergeAmazon and Alibaba have both been highly valued during the pandemic because online retailers faced super attractive growth prospects at a time when the physical competition was all but taken out of the game by health authorities. The post-pandemic normalization of e-Commerce growth and the resulting re-rating of Amazon and Alibaba, however, have changed things up a bit.Amazon and Alibaba are both profitable and are expected to remain profitable. But a key difference has emerged regarding the firms' valuations. While Amazon is still expensive relative to its earnings potential (52 X P-E ratio), Alibaba is trading at a rock-bottom P-E ratio of 10 X... which represents stronger potential for an upside revaluation.Risks with Alibaba and AmazonBoth companies are facing deteriorating prospects in their core e-Commerce operations due to high inflation, which is impacting consumer spending. Amazon and Alibaba are both highly dependent on consumer spending, and both companies continue to be dominated by their e-Commerce operations (Alibaba's commerce share is 76% while Amazon's is 84%).Besides top line risks which both companies share, there are other more company-specific risks that matter: Amazon is generating a large number of sales outside the US, meaning the retailer has exposure to the appreciating US Dollar. A strong US Dollar hurts currency conversions, which is a headwind for Amazon.For Alibaba, there are regulatory and delisting risks that are affecting the pricing of its shares. I believe that a delisting of Alibaba's ADR from a US stock exchange is highly unlikely to occur because the firm secured a primary listing status for its shares in Hong Kong, which gives US investors an alternative marketplace to buy shares. Due to the primary listing status, Alibaba's shares are also available for mainland Chinese investors through the Hong Kong stock connect program.Final thoughtsWhen comparing Alibaba and Amazon, there are many factors that must be considered. Both companies obviously are going through a post-pandemic adjustment period of slowing growth. Both companies are investing in the Cloud market and are facing challenges in their core segments.Amazon has a stronger short term revenue outlook than Alibaba as it projects 13-17% revenue growth in the third-quarter, while Alibaba may actually see negative revenue growth in FQ2'23. Estimate trends favor Amazon as well. From a valuation perspective, I believe Alibaba wins the comparison, however, because the Chinese company trades at a fraction of Amazon's P-E ratio. The risk profile for Alibaba's shares is therefore much more skewed to the upside than Amazon's!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":574,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913474017,"gmtCreate":1664066878739,"gmtModify":1676537384548,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"May sell of my Alibaba holdings..&nbsp;","listText":"May sell of my Alibaba holdings..&nbsp;","text":"May sell of my Alibaba holdings..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913474017","repostId":"1144003725","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913079856,"gmtCreate":1663892275675,"gmtModify":1676537356814,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A bit of gray area here on what they are doing&nbsp;","listText":"A bit of gray area here on what they are doing&nbsp;","text":"A bit of gray area here on what they are doing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913079856","repostId":"2269140172","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2269140172","pubTimestamp":1663889947,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2269140172?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-23 07:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase Tested Group to Speculate on Crypto","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2269140172","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"The company completed a $100 million transaction before ending the effort.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D, N.Y.), Ms. Haas reiterated that Coinbase doesn’t do proprietary trading.</p><p>Later, the company clarified its activities to Rep.Maxine Waters(D., Calif.) by saying that “Coinbase does, from time to time, purchase cryptocurrency as principal for specific purposes that we do not view as proprietary trading because its purpose is not for Coinbase to benefit from increases in value of the cryptocurrency being traded.”</p><p>Earlier this year, after the testimony before Congress, Coinbase’s Risk Solutions group completed its first, sizable transaction. It raised money for the transaction by guaranteeing a $100 million “structured note” that was sold to firm Invesco Ltd. at a fixed-rate of 4.01%, according to people close to the matter. Coinbase used the $100 million to profit in cryptocurrency markets, according to the people.</p><p>An Invesco spokeswoman confirmed the transaction and said the investment firm had “no direct exposure to cryptocurrency” as part of the debt deal, adding that “this is no longer an active position for us.”</p><p>The deal was profitable for Coinbase, the people said, and Mr. Tejpaul praised the executives who worked on the transaction in internal communications and expressed eagerness to make additional such transactions, the people said.</p><p>The trade occurred after the crypto market started to fall from its all-time high, eating into Coinbase’s business.</p><p>Coinbase subsequently soured on the idea of doing proprietary trading. In recent months, a number of senior traders who had been hired to help run the business have left the company, the people said.</p><p>Analysts say Coinbase executives are trying to balance a need to maintain the company’s reputation for safety while diversifying its existing business and finding new areas of growth. Coinbase derives nearly all its revenue from trading by individual investors—and lost $1.1 billion in the second quarter on the back of the crypto market crash.</p><p>“They don’t want the public to perceive them as taking unnecessary risk…retail investors are concerned about the stability of a trading platform,” saysMark Palmer, an analyst at BTIG. “But it’s crucially important that the company diversify because they remain overly dependent on transactions from retail customers.”</p><p>The company is expanding its business in other ways. Earlier this month, BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager, announced a partnership with Coinbase. BlackRock’s institutional clients who also own digital assets on Coinbase will now be able to use Aladdin, the asset manager’s suite of software tools, to manage their portfolios and conduct risk analysis on investment decisions.</p></body></html>","source":"wsj_highlight","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>Coinbase Tested Group to Speculate on Crypto</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\">\nCoinbase Tested Group to Speculate on Crypto\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-23 07:39 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/coinbase-tested-group-to-speculate-on-crypto-11663806157?mod=lead_feature_below_a_pos1><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The company completed a $100 million transaction before ending the effort.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D, N.Y.), Ms. Haas reiterated that Coinbase doesn’t do proprietary trading.Later, the company clarified its activities to Rep.Maxine Waters(D., Calif.) by saying that “Coinbase does, from time to time, purchase cryptocurrency as principal for specific purposes that we do not view as proprietary trading because its purpose is not for Coinbase to benefit from increases in value of the cryptocurrency being traded.”Earlier this year, after the testimony before Congress, Coinbase’s Risk Solutions group completed its first, sizable transaction. It raised money for the transaction by guaranteeing a $100 million “structured note” that was sold to firm Invesco Ltd. at a fixed-rate of 4.01%, according to people close to the matter. Coinbase used the $100 million to profit in cryptocurrency markets, according to the people.An Invesco spokeswoman confirmed the transaction and said the investment firm had “no direct exposure to cryptocurrency” as part of the debt deal, adding that “this is no longer an active position for us.”The deal was profitable for Coinbase, the people said, and Mr. Tejpaul praised the executives who worked on the transaction in internal communications and expressed eagerness to make additional such transactions, the people said.The trade occurred after the crypto market started to fall from its all-time high, eating into Coinbase’s business.Coinbase subsequently soured on the idea of doing proprietary trading. In recent months, a number of senior traders who had been hired to help run the business have left the company, the people said.Analysts say Coinbase executives are trying to balance a need to maintain the company’s reputation for safety while diversifying its existing business and finding new areas of growth. Coinbase derives nearly all its revenue from trading by individual investors—and lost $1.1 billion in the second quarter on the back of the crypto market crash.“They don’t want the public to perceive them as taking unnecessary risk…retail investors are concerned about the stability of a trading platform,” saysMark Palmer, an analyst at BTIG. “But it’s crucially important that the company diversify because they remain overly dependent on transactions from retail customers.”The company is expanding its business in other ways. Earlier this month, BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager, announced a partnership with Coinbase. BlackRock’s institutional clients who also own digital assets on Coinbase will now be able to use Aladdin, the asset manager’s suite of software tools, to manage their portfolios and conduct risk analysis on investment decisions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919769970,"gmtCreate":1663862516490,"gmtModify":1676537352330,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BRK.B\">$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$</a>been eyeing to buy this stock","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BRK.B\">$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$</a>been eyeing to buy this stock","text":"$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$been eyeing to buy this stock","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9005f820672a8eb7416917cc33f24b70","width":"1440","height":"2394"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919769970","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":332,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919456110,"gmtCreate":1663852207230,"gmtModify":1676537349410,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not sure why...

When interest rates rise, this spread tends to widen, and banks see their profitability improve. With that said, here are three banks that stand to benefit in a big way from continuing rate increases.</p><h2>1. Bank of America</h2><p><b>Bank of America</b> ranks as the second-largest bank in the U.S. with over $2 trillion in assets and is one of the most interest-rate-sensitive major banks out there. One reason is that 40% of its $1.4 trillion in deposits from consumer wealth management clients is in low- or no-interest checking accounts. As a result, Bank of America can earn more on these deposits as rates rise.</p><p>Through the first six months of the year, Bank of America&#39;s net interest income (NII) rose by 18%, to $24 billion, versus the first half of the previous year. In its recent regulatory filing, the bank said a 100-basis-point increase in interest rates would help NII grow by $5 billion over the next year, an 11% increase from its trailing-12-month NII.</p><h2>2. The Bancorp</h2><p><b>The Bancorp</b> is different from traditional banks because it has no branches. Instead, the bankoffers private-label banking servicesto online and nonbank lenders.</p><p>The bank handles back-end services like regulatory compliance and access to payment networks, like <b>Visa</b> and <b>Mastercard</b>. Over 100 clients, like <b>PayPal Holdings</b> and Chime, turn to The Bancorp for these services to help nonbank clients offer their own payment products.</p><p>The bank&#39;s net interest income didn&#39;t change much in the first half of the year, but that&#39;s due to a timing difference in how interest rates affect its deposits and loans. Most of The Bancorp&#39;s deposits are through prepaid and debit card account deposits, and when interest rates go up The Bancorp quickly adjusts the interest rates it pays on these deposits.</p><p>However, its loans are variable rates, repriced on a lag, and take longer to adjust to changes in interest rates. These loans are generally repriced monthly or quarterly, and the bank sees higher interest rates serving as a tailwind in the second half of this year.</p><p>According to its regulatory filing, a 100-basis-point parallel increase to interest rates would help NII increase by 9%, while a 200-basis-point increase would help NII grow by nearly 19%.</p><h2>3. Silvergate Capital</h2><p><b>Silvergate Capital</b> provides banking services to cryptocurrency customers, which it has done since 2013. One of its earliest products was the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN), a payment transfer network that allows crypto exchanges, like <b>Coinbase Global</b> or Gemini, to transfer U.S. dollars efficiently. The SEN is interesting because it gives Silvergate a vast amount of non-interest-bearing deposits, which allows the bank to benefit significantly when interest rates go higher.</p><p>The bank has over $13 billion in non-interest-bearing deposits, or 99.5% of its total deposit base. As a result, Silvergate reaps the benefits of higher interest rates on its loan portfolio while it doesn&#39;t have to increase what it pays out on its deposit accounts.</p><p>Silvergate&#39;s NII grew 126% to $121 million in the year&#39;s first half. In its recent regulatory filing, the bank noted that a 100-basis-point parallel shift up in interest rates would cause NII to increase by nearly 16%, while a 200-basis-point increase would cause NII to grow by 31%.</p></body></html>","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>Another Fed Rate Hike Is Coming: 3 Bank Stocks That Will Benefit From Rising Interest Rates</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\">\nAnother Fed Rate Hike Is Coming: 3 Bank Stocks That Will Benefit From Rising Interest Rates\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-19 20:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/another-fed-rate-hike-is-coming-3-bank-stocks-that/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe recent consumer price index release showed inflation increased 8.3% over the last year.Traders expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates another 75 basis points in its September...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/another-fed-rate-hike-is-coming-3-bank-stocks-that/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TBBK":"The Bancorp","BAC":"美国银行"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/18/another-fed-rate-hike-is-coming-3-bank-stocks-that/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1116701018","content_text":"KEY POINTSThe recent consumer price index release showed inflation increased 8.3% over the last year.Traders expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates another 75 basis points in its September meeting.Rising interest rates can benefit banks by boosting their net interest income.Over the past year, inflation has remained stubbornly high, wreaking havoc for consumers and investors alike.

PC sales boomed during the first two years of the pandemic as consumers and businesses stocked up to work from home and use videoconferencing software such as Zoom Video Communications Inc(ZM) that taxed older computers.China's Lenovo Group Ltd.  led the pack in shipments, according to IDC tabulations, with shipments declining 12.1% to 17.5 million units, as HP shipments dropped 27.6% to 13.5 million units. Dell Technologies Inc.'s $(DELL)$ shipments declined 5.3% to 13.2 million units, while Acer Inc.'s  shipments dropped 19.2% to 5 million units. Apple and Asustek Computer Inc.  tied for a \"statistical\" fifth place, IDC said.Gartner reported that Lenovo shipments fell 12.5% to 17.9 million units, HP shipments dropped 27.5% to 13.5 million units, and Dell shipments declined 5.2% to 13.3 million units. Gartner also said that Acer shipments fell 18.7% to 5.1 million units, and Asustek shipments fell 4.3% to 4.7 million units.There don't seem to be any signs of improvement, Citi Research analyst Christopher Danley said in a Monday note. While June notebook shipments were up 31% month-over-month, that was below his expectation of a 40% rise.\"We expect PC demand to continue to decline throughout 2022 in to 2023,\" Danley said. The analyst reiterated his neutral ratings both on Intel Corp. $(INTC)$ and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. $(AMD.AU)$ although Intel appears more at risk when it comes to a PC downturn.Danley said that while AMD derives about 35% of its revenue from the PC industry, 90% of Intel's sales come from PC and server segments.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":197,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4103864033944460","authorId":"4103864033944460","name":"PaperPlay","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9bd8cbd182d6cb24667a31115671409","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4103864033944460","authorIdStr":"4103864033944460"},"content":"Never say never","text":"Never say never","html":"Never say never"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934714841,"gmtCreate":1663300128683,"gmtModify":1676537247932,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy now AND wait","listText":"Buy now AND wait","text":"Buy now AND wait","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934714841","repostId":"2267657881","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2267657881","pubTimestamp":1663296968,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2267657881?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-16 10:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy Stocks Now Or Wait?

Probably not,&#34; Brusuelas said, referring to a scenario in which monetary tightening slows the economy, and inflation, without triggering a recession. &#34;It is difficult to envision a benign outcome.&#34;</p><p>Data on August jobs, released Friday, gave the Fed a bit of a reprieve. U.S. firms added 315,000 jobs in August, a slowing from the blow-out half-million jobs added in July and a sign that some of the economy&#39;s post-pandemic excesses may be moderating without giving way altogether.</p><p>In addition, the number of people in the labor force surged by nearly 800,000 to a new record high - a dynamic Fed officials have been banking on to ease wage pressures over time. Because many of those new entrants had yet to find a job, the unemployment rate rose to 3.7% from 3.5%, an increase Fed officials are likely to see as constructive since it indicates a greater supply of people willing to take jobs if offered.</p><p>Fed officials hope the burden of fighting inflation falls less on employment than other parts of the economy, even as for months they&#39;ve bemoaned the labor market&#39;s current state as unsustainable.</p><p>The August jobs report did not ease all those concerns. Average hourly earnings continued to increase at a 5.2% year- over-year pace, the same as the month before.</p><p>Fed officials feel that needs to slow, with Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester saying this week she feltwage growth would &#34;need to moderate to around 3.25% to 3.5% to be consistent with price stability.&#34;</p><h3>&#39;UNPRECEDENTED&#39;</h3><p>Fed officials have been less specific about what will bring things into balance, with some of the working ideas requiring U.S. job markets to act differently than they have in the past.</p><p>Fed Governor Christopher Waller has pointed to the Beveridge Curve, which plots the relationship between job openings and the unemployment rate, to argue that the labor market could behave differently this time.</p><p>The current ratio of two job openings for each unemployed person is a record high. Typically when the job vacancy rate falls, the unemployment rate rises as it becomes harder for job seekers to find a match. But Waller argues the Beveridge Curve changed during the pandemic, and is in a place now that would allow job openings to fall sharply as the economy slows, relieving pressure on wages and prices, without much of a rise in unemployment.</p><p>&#34;We recognize that it would be unprecedented for vacancies to decline by a large amount without the economy falling into recession...We are, in effect, saying that something unprecedented can occur because the labor market is in an unprecedented situation,&#34; Waller wrote in a research note published by the Fed in late July.</p><p>Other soft-landing narratives also hang on history not repeating.</p><h3>HELPING HAND</h3><p>In June, for example, the median estimate among Fed officials was for unemployment to rise somewhat - but only to about 4.1% by the end of 2024, a slow and limited climb.</p><p>Updated projections are due to be released at the end of the Fed&#39;s policy meeting on September 20-21. If, as expected, those projections show higher unemployment, the chances for a soft landing will confront an unpleasant historical fact: Once the U.S. unemployment rate increases beyond a certain amount, it tends to keep rising.</p><p>Since at least the late 1940s, even modest increases of half a percentage point in the unemployment rate from a year earlier - the magnitude of increase Fed officials have begun to hint at - have tended to spiral to jumps of 2 percentage points or more.</p><p>At the current labor force level of 164.7 million, that would translate into around 3.3 million fewer people employed - below some estimates but still high.</p><p>&#34;Usually, once the labor market gets going downhill, it picks up speed and it goes,&#34; said Claudia Sahm, a former Fed economist and founder of Sahm Consulting.</p><p>As a Fed economist, she developed the eponymous &#34;Sahm Rule,&#34; which says that once the three-month average unemployment rate rises half a percentage point from its recent low, the economy is already in recession.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is betting the social-media giant's near-term fu","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is betting the social-media giant&#39;s near-term future on Instagram Reels, the short-video feature he is touting as the company&#39;s answer to TikTok.</p><p>The company&#39;s internal research shows that Meta has a lot of catching up to do.</p><p>Instagram users cumulatively are spending 17.6 million hours a day watching Reels, less than one-tenth of the 197.8 million hours TikTok users spend each day on that platform, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal that summarizes internal Meta research.</p><p>The document, titled &#34;Creators x Reels State of the Union 2022,&#34; was published internally in August. It said that Reels engagement had been falling -- down 13.6% over the previous four weeks -- and that &#34;most Reels users have no engagement whatsoever.&#34;</p><p>One reason is that Instagram has struggled to recruit people to make content. Roughly 11 million creators are on the platform in the U.S., but only about 2.3 million of them, or 20.7%, post on that platform each month, the document said.</p><p>Meta spokeswoman Devi Narasimhan characterized the data about viewing hours as outdated and not global in scope, but declined to disclose other numbers. She said Reels engagement currently is up, on a month-to-month basis.</p><p>&#34;We still have work to do,&#34; she said. &#34;But creators and businesses are seeing promising results, and our monetization growth is faster than we expected as more people are watching, creating and connecting through Reels than ever before.&#34;</p><p>The shift to Reels has taken on urgency following a tough year for the social-media company. In July, Meta reported its first ever decline in revenue, in part because changes made by Apple Inc. to the iPhone&#39;s operating system put a major dent in Meta&#39;s ability to deliver personalized ads. The company also has had trouble retaining teenage users attracted to competitors such as TikTok. As of Friday, Meta&#39;s market value had declined by more than $620 billion since peaking more than a year ago.</p><p>Meta has said that Reels, which was launched in the U.S. in August 2020, accounts for a fifth of the time people spend on Instagram, and that the time users spent engaging with Reels on Instagram and Facebook had risen more than 30% during the second quarter.</p><p>&#34;We&#39;re seeing good promise in the rollout of Reels, good adoption,&#34; Instagram Chief Operating Officer Justin Osofsky said in an interview. &#34;But with that said, we know we also have work to do.&#34;</p><p>He said Reels make up more than half of the content that Instagram users share with each other in private messages. The ease with which users can share Reels with friends differentiates the service from others, he said.</p><p>The internal document showed that nearly one-third of Reels videos are created on another platform, usually TikTok, and include a watermark or border identifying them as such. Meta said it &#34;downranks&#34; these videos, meaning it shows them to smaller audiences to reduce the incentives for those that post them, but they continue to proliferate. For Reels users, the result is that often they are shown videos recycled from another, more popular platform.</p><p>&#34;People have told us they want original high-quality content,&#34; Mr. Osofsky said.</p><p>Landen Purifoy, a 22-year-old creator in Plano, Texas, makes videos for TikTok and other platforms, mostly of him using a device called a talk box to make funny sounds and music. Many of his posts get more than a million views on TikTok.</p><p>This spring, Mr. Purifoy posted the same video across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat&#39;s Spotlight and Instagram Reels. The video received millions of views on every platform except Instagram. There, it got less than 100,000.</p><p>&#34;Nobody&#39;s going to make original content for Instagram,&#34; Mr. Purifoy said. &#34;It just doesn&#39;t make any sense.&#34;</p><p>To encourage users like Mr. Purifoy to post more, Meta announced last year that it was launching a fund to pay creators a total of $1 billion by the end of this year. The internal document said that Instagram Reels thus far has paid out $120 million.</p><p>&#34;Meta&#39;s suite of monetization product offerings is largely in-line with competitive offerings, though limited product scale results in fewer paid creators / low % of payouts,&#34; the document said.</p><p>The Meta spokeswoman said this payout number is outdated and doesn&#39;t include separate payments to Facebook creators that the fund also covers.</p><p>TikTok announced its own creators fund in August 2020 that it said would pay out $1 billion over the next three years.</p><p>Meta&#39;s ad business is still a behemoth, generating far more revenue per user than TikTok. In 2021, Facebook and Instagram generated revenue in the U.S. market of $32 billion and more than $21 billion, respectively, compared with $3 billion for TikTok, according to estimates in an August report by Bernstein Research.</p><p>But Meta&#39;s advertising operation faces headwinds, notably from the privacy-related changes from Apple rolled out last year. The company previously said it anticipated a $10 billion hit to revenue this year due to the changes.</p><p>Meta also continues to battle negative perceptions among users, documents show. Meta has long surveyed users about their perceptions of its business, converting their answers into percentage scores. The portion of Instagram users who think the company &#34;cares about&#34; them fell from nearly 70% in 2019 to roughly 20% earlier this summer. On the question of whether the product was &#34;good for the world,&#34; the score fell from more than 60% in 2019 to slightly over 45%.</p><p>The Meta spokeswoman said that didn&#39;t reflect the company&#39;s internal data, but declined to elaborate.</p><p>The company has also been polling users on a separate question that in many ways gets to the heart of the tech giant&#39;s current predicament: &#34;Would you say that Meta&#39;s best days are ahead of it or behind it?&#34; The company declined to disclose how users responded to that question.</p><p>At least some of the issues affecting Meta reflect shifting views about social media more broadly. TikTok and other platforms also have sparked concerns about their unhealthy aspects and effects on young users.</p><p>Other social-media companies have had their business models upended, too. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>., maker of the popular Snapchat app, said late last month it was laying off 20% of its staff, halting work on several projects and reorganizing its operations.</p><p>Meta, which essentially pioneered social media when Mr. Zuckerberg launched Facebook out of his Harvard dorm in 2004, has long been the industry&#39;s 800-pound gorilla.</p><p>Over the years, the company has been resilient, executing several strategy shifts to address changes in the competitive landscape. In 2012, Mr. Zuckerberg made mobile-first products a priority for Facebook, which was founded for desktop users. Several years later, the company launched disappearing-posts features, starting with Instagram Stories, leading to criticism that it essentially copied one of Snapchat&#39;s features.</p><p>While it took some time for Stories to catch on, both moves ultimately proved prescient, helping the company maintain a dominant position in social media for almost two decades and briefly reach a market value of more than $1 trillion.</p><p>TikTok&#39;s explosion in popularity presents a big challenge. The app, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., launched in the U.S. less than five years ago. It has drawn scrutiny and criticism related to its Chinese ownership, but that has done little to stem its popularity.</p><p>TikTok posted a 67% gain in average daily hours spent per user in the U.S. from 2018 to 2021, a growth rate that far exceeded that of its rivals, according to Bernstein&#39;s August report. Facebook and Instagram were up 9% and 11%, respectively, during that period.</p><p>As TikTok has grown, so too has the popularity of short-form video as a format, leading Bernstein Research analysts to write: &#34;The 2020s are the SFV decade.&#34;</p><p>After TikTok soared in popularity amid Covid-19 lockdowns in early 2020, both Meta and YouTube, which is owned by Google, launched short-form video products of their own. Mr. Zuckerberg has touted Reels as the company&#39;s fastest-growing content format, but TikTok has maintained its lead.</p><p>&#34;Creators still think of TikTok as being synonymous with SFV and prioritize it for the broad discoverability it brings them,&#34; said the internal Meta document.</p><p>Meta&#39;s challenges with Reels are significant because the service is central to an effort to reinvent the way the company operates.</p><p>Meta&#39;s products -- first the main Facebook app, then Instagram -- succeeded by showing users content from their friends, family and others they know and choose to follow. TikTok succeeded by doing the opposite, showing users content from accounts recommended by an algorithm that figures out what kind of videos users want based on what they spend time watching. It pushes a feed of content personalized to people&#39;s interests, helping them discover new things they never knew they wanted or would enjoy.</p><p>This summer, Instagram accelerated a push to be more like TikTok by launching a service it internally called Panavision. Like TikTok, it served content, including a hefty dose of Reels, to users from accounts they don&#39;t follow.</p><p>There was a swift backlash from users, including from celebrities Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. Ms. Jenner reposted a card to her Instagram story that said &#34;Make Instagram Instagram again (stop trying to be tiktok i just want to see cute photos of my friends.)

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is betting the social-media giant&#39;s near-term future on Instagram Reels, the short-video feature he is touting as the company&#39;s answer to TikTok.</p><p>The company&#39;s internal research shows that Meta has a lot of catching up to do.</p><p>Instagram users cumulatively are spending 17.6 million hours a day watching Reels, less than one-tenth of the 197.8 million hours TikTok users spend each day on that platform, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal that summarizes internal Meta research.</p><p>The document, titled &#34;Creators x Reels State of the Union 2022,&#34; was published internally in August. It said that Reels engagement had been falling -- down 13.6% over the previous four weeks -- and that &#34;most Reels users have no engagement whatsoever.&#34;</p><p>One reason is that Instagram has struggled to recruit people to make content. Roughly 11 million creators are on the platform in the U.S., but only about 2.3 million of them, or 20.7%, post on that platform each month, the document said.</p><p>Meta spokeswoman Devi Narasimhan characterized the data about viewing hours as outdated and not global in scope, but declined to disclose other numbers. She said Reels engagement currently is up, on a month-to-month basis.</p><p>&#34;We still have work to do,&#34; she said. &#34;But creators and businesses are seeing promising results, and our monetization growth is faster than we expected as more people are watching, creating and connecting through Reels than ever before.&#34;</p><p>The shift to Reels has taken on urgency following a tough year for the social-media company. In July, Meta reported its first ever decline in revenue, in part because changes made by Apple Inc. to the iPhone&#39;s operating system put a major dent in Meta&#39;s ability to deliver personalized ads. The company also has had trouble retaining teenage users attracted to competitors such as TikTok. As of Friday, Meta&#39;s market value had declined by more than $620 billion since peaking more than a year ago.</p><p>Meta has said that Reels, which was launched in the U.S. in August 2020, accounts for a fifth of the time people spend on Instagram, and that the time users spent engaging with Reels on Instagram and Facebook had risen more than 30% during the second quarter.</p><p>&#34;We&#39;re seeing good promise in the rollout of Reels, good adoption,&#34; Instagram Chief Operating Officer Justin Osofsky said in an interview. &#34;But with that said, we know we also have work to do.&#34;</p><p>He said Reels make up more than half of the content that Instagram users share with each other in private messages. The ease with which users can share Reels with friends differentiates the service from others, he said.</p><p>The internal document showed that nearly one-third of Reels videos are created on another platform, usually TikTok, and include a watermark or border identifying them as such. Meta said it &#34;downranks&#34; these videos, meaning it shows them to smaller audiences to reduce the incentives for those that post them, but they continue to proliferate. For Reels users, the result is that often they are shown videos recycled from another, more popular platform.</p><p>&#34;People have told us they want original high-quality content,&#34; Mr. Osofsky said.</p><p>Landen Purifoy, a 22-year-old creator in Plano, Texas, makes videos for TikTok and other platforms, mostly of him using a device called a talk box to make funny sounds and music. Many of his posts get more than a million views on TikTok.</p><p>This spring, Mr. Purifoy posted the same video across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat&#39;s Spotlight and Instagram Reels. The video received millions of views on every platform except Instagram. There, it got less than 100,000.</p><p>&#34;Nobody&#39;s going to make original content for Instagram,&#34; Mr. Purifoy said. &#34;It just doesn&#39;t make any sense.&#34;</p><p>To encourage users like Mr. Purifoy to post more, Meta announced last year that it was launching a fund to pay creators a total of $1 billion by the end of this year. The internal document said that Instagram Reels thus far has paid out $120 million.</p><p>&#34;Meta&#39;s suite of monetization product offerings is largely in-line with competitive offerings, though limited product scale results in fewer paid creators / low % of payouts,&#34; the document said.</p><p>The Meta spokeswoman said this payout number is outdated and doesn&#39;t include separate payments to Facebook creators that the fund also covers.</p><p>TikTok announced its own creators fund in August 2020 that it said would pay out $1 billion over the next three years.</p><p>Meta&#39;s ad business is still a behemoth, generating far more revenue per user than TikTok. In 2021, Facebook and Instagram generated revenue in the U.S. market of $32 billion and more than $21 billion, respectively, compared with $3 billion for TikTok, according to estimates in an August report by Bernstein Research.</p><p>But Meta&#39;s advertising operation faces headwinds, notably from the privacy-related changes from Apple rolled out last year. The company previously said it anticipated a $10 billion hit to revenue this year due to the changes.</p><p>Meta also continues to battle negative perceptions among users, documents show. Meta has long surveyed users about their perceptions of its business, converting their answers into percentage scores. The portion of Instagram users who think the company &#34;cares about&#34; them fell from nearly 70% in 2019 to roughly 20% earlier this summer. On the question of whether the product was &#34;good for the world,&#34; the score fell from more than 60% in 2019 to slightly over 45%.</p><p>The Meta spokeswoman said that didn&#39;t reflect the company&#39;s internal data, but declined to elaborate.</p><p>The company has also been polling users on a separate question that in many ways gets to the heart of the tech giant&#39;s current predicament: &#34;Would you say that Meta&#39;s best days are ahead of it or behind it?&#34; The company declined to disclose how users responded to that question.</p><p>At least some of the issues affecting Meta reflect shifting views about social media more broadly. TikTok and other platforms also have sparked concerns about their unhealthy aspects and effects on young users.</p><p>Other social-media companies have had their business models upended, too. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>., maker of the popular Snapchat app, said late last month it was laying off 20% of its staff, halting work on several projects and reorganizing its operations.</p><p>Meta, which essentially pioneered social media when Mr. Zuckerberg launched Facebook out of his Harvard dorm in 2004, has long been the industry&#39;s 800-pound gorilla.</p><p>Over the years, the company has been resilient, executing several strategy shifts to address changes in the competitive landscape. In 2012, Mr. Zuckerberg made mobile-first products a priority for Facebook, which was founded for desktop users. Several years later, the company launched disappearing-posts features, starting with Instagram Stories, leading to criticism that it essentially copied one of Snapchat&#39;s features.</p><p>While it took some time for Stories to catch on, both moves ultimately proved prescient, helping the company maintain a dominant position in social media for almost two decades and briefly reach a market value of more than $1 trillion.</p><p>TikTok&#39;s explosion in popularity presents a big challenge. The app, owned by Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., launched in the U.S. less than five years ago. It has drawn scrutiny and criticism related to its Chinese ownership, but that has done little to stem its popularity.</p><p>TikTok posted a 67% gain in average daily hours spent per user in the U.S. from 2018 to 2021, a growth rate that far exceeded that of its rivals, according to Bernstein&#39;s August report. Facebook and Instagram were up 9% and 11%, respectively, during that period.</p><p>As TikTok has grown, so too has the popularity of short-form video as a format, leading Bernstein Research analysts to write: &#34;The 2020s are the SFV decade.&#34;</p><p>After TikTok soared in popularity amid Covid-19 lockdowns in early 2020, both Meta and YouTube, which is owned by Google, launched short-form video products of their own.

Since hitting their all-time closing highs within the past eight months, the timeless <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>, the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, and technology-dependent <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> have shed as much as 19%, 24%, and 34% of their value, respectively. In fact, this was the worst first half to a new year for the S&amp;P 500 since 1970.</p><p>In one respect, bear market declines like we&#39;re witnessing in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq can be scary. The velocity of downside moves can be unpredictable and weigh on an investor&#39;s resolve. But history also shows that bear market declines are the ideal opportunity for patient investors to pounce. That&#39;s because every double-digit percentage decline throughout history (including in the Nasdaq Composite) has eventually been cleared away by a bull market rally.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dafd705275a3c3dd4e9132dc49cd809\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>It&#39;s an especially intriguing time to go bargain hunting among innovative growth stocks. While it can be hard to look past the near-term weakness and/or struggles of fast-paced companies during a bear market, there are some true game changers that have the potential to make long-term investors a whole lot richer.</p><p>What follows are three game-changing stocks you can confidently buy during the Nasdaq bear market that can triple your money by 2027.</p><h2>Upstart Holdings</h2><p>The first groundbreaking stock that has all the tools and intangibles necessary to triple your money over the next five years is cloud-based lending platform <b>Upstart Holdings</b>.</p><p>To some investors, Upstart might look like a stock to avoid at the moment. Just two weeks ago, the company announced preliminary second-quarter operating results, noting that it would widely miss its prior revenue and net-loss forecasts. According to the company, inflation and recession fears are driving up interest rates and causing lending institutions to be more cautious. That&#39;s obviously not great news, at least in the short term, for a company whose purpose is to vet loans.</p><p>However, Upstart&#39;s operating model brings a slew of competitive advantages and intriguing growth opportunities to the table that should allow it to maintain a superior growth rate over the next five years, if not well beyond.</p><p>For example, Upstart relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to vet loans. Whereas the traditional vetting process can take weeks and be quite costly, approximately three-quarters of all Upstart loans are being fully automated and approved. This saves applicants time, and more importantly saves financial institutions money.</p><p>To build on this point, Upstart&#39;s AI-driven lending platform has opened the door to a broader swath of the population. Relying on AI instead of traditional vetting metrics has allowed persons with lower credit scores to be approved for loans. But even though Upstart&#39;s approvals have lower average credit scores than with the traditional vetting process, delinquency rates have been similar. In other words, Upstart&#39;s loan pool is giving financial institutions a larger addressable market without increasing their risk.</p><p>What&#39;s more, Upstart is pushing into new loan channels that offer more opportunity. Following the company&#39;s acquisition of Prodigy Software in 2021, Upstart can now offer AI-based auto loans. The auto-loan origination market is nearly seven times the size of personal loans, which is where it has focused most of its attention until now. With an addressable loan-origination market of $6 trillion, which includes mortgages and small-business lending, Upstart&#39;s ceiling appears sky-high.</p><h2>Lovesac</h2><p>A second game-changing stock that can confidently be bought during the Nasdaq bear market and can triple your money over the next five years is furniture maker <b>The Lovesac Company</b>.</p><p>Normally, the phrase &#34;furniture stock&#34; is used to put someone to sleep. Furniture companies are typically stodgy brick-and-mortar operators that rely on the same small group of wholesalers for their products. What makes Lovesac so interesting is that it&#39;s looking to disrupt this stodgy industry in a variety of ways.</p><p>It all begins with Lovesac&#39;s products. While the company was originally known for selling beanbag-styled chairs known as sacs, nearly 88% of its revenue these days comes from selling its &#34;sactionals.&#34; These are modular sectional couches that can be rearranged dozens of ways to fit most living spaces.</p><p>Aside from offering functionality, sactionals differentiate themselves based on their available options. Buyers have more than 200 different covers to choose from, which ensures that sactionals can match the color or theme of any living space. And they can be upgraded with wireless charging and/or surround-sound systems.</p><p>As one final note, the yarn used in sactional covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. This makes Lovesac&#39;s products incredibly eco-friendly, which is probably why early-born millennials are the company&#39;s core customers.</p><p>Beyond its products, Lovesac uses its omnichannel sales platform to stand out. For instance, the company was able to shift around half of its sales online during the pandemic. Having a sizable direct-to-consumer presence, as well as leaning on pop-up showrooms and online partnerships, helps lower the company&#39;s overhead and boosts its operating margins.</p><p>Long story short, this furniture stock offers sustainable revenue and profit growth of 15% to 20% annually.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b64594911dd64b0508b8ed8022f0141a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Deliveries of the Nio ET7 electric sedan began in late March 2022. Image source: Nio.</span></p><h2>Nio</h2><p>A third game-changing stock that can be bought hand over fist during the Nasdaq bear market and triple your money by 2027 is China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>Nio</b>.</p><p>Like virtually all auto stocks, Nio has faced a hurricane of headwinds over the past couple of quarters. The pandemic and Russia -Ukraine war have led to shortages of semiconductors and auto parts in general. To boot, historically high inflation has crimped automakers&#39; margins.</p><p>The good news is that Nio looks to be turning the corner despite these headwinds. In June, the company delivered an all-time high 12,961 EVs. Even with reduced output during April and May, the automaker still achieved more than 25,000 deliveries during the second quarter. If supply chain challenges can be resolved relatively quickly, the company shouldn&#39;t have any trouble ramping up to 50,000 EV deliveries on a monthly basis within 12 months.</p><p>Aside from strong EV demand, Nio&#39;s innovation is what&#39;s truly impressive. In June, the company unveiled the ES7, a midsize five-seater SUV that&#39;ll slide in at a more-affordable price point versus its ES8. It also began deliveries of the ET7 sedan in March, and will begin deliveries of the ET5 sedan in September. With the top battery pack upgrade, both the ET7 and ET5 offer superior range relative to <b>Tesla</b>&#39;s flagship sedans.</p><p>Another innovation worth noting is Nio&#39;s battery-as-a-service (BaaS) subscription model, which was introduced in August 2020. With BaaS, EV buyers receive a discount on the initial purchase price of their vehicle, and can charge, swap, or upgrade their batteries in the future. In return, Nio receives a high-margin monthly subscription fee and keeps early buyers loyal to the brand.</p><p>Because China is the largest auto market in the world and its EV industry is still nascent, Nio has an incredible opportunity to gobble up market share and become an industry leader. By 2027, it should be swimming in annual profits.</p></body></html>","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>Nasdaq Bear Market: 3 Game-Changing Stocks That Can Triple Your Money by 2027</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\">\nNasdaq Bear Market: 3 Game-Changing Stocks That Can Triple Your Money by 2027\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-21 21:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/20/nasdaq-bear-market-3-stocks-triple-money-by-2027/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There's little question that this has been one of the most-challenging years on record for Wall Street and investors.

Since hitting their all-time closing highs within the past eight months, the timeless Dow Jones Industrial Average, the benchmark S&P 500, and technology-dependent Nasdaq Composite have shed as much as 19%, 24%, and 34% of their value, respectively. In fact, this was the worst first half to a new year for the S&P 500 since 1970.In one respect, bear market declines like we're witnessing in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq can be scary. The velocity of downside moves can be unpredictable and weigh on an investor's resolve. But history also shows that bear market declines are the ideal opportunity for patient investors to pounce. That's because every double-digit percentage decline throughout history (including in the Nasdaq Composite) has eventually been cleared away by a bull market rally.Image source: Getty Images.It's an especially intriguing time to go bargain hunting among innovative growth stocks. While it can be hard to look past the near-term weakness and/or struggles of fast-paced companies during a bear market, there are some true game changers that have the potential to make long-term investors a whole lot richer.What follows are three game-changing stocks you can confidently buy during the Nasdaq bear market that can triple your money by 2027.Upstart HoldingsThe first groundbreaking stock that has all the tools and intangibles necessary to triple your money over the next five years is cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings.To some investors, Upstart might look like a stock to avoid at the moment. Just two weeks ago, the company announced preliminary second-quarter operating results, noting that it would widely miss its prior revenue and net-loss forecasts. According to the company, inflation and recession fears are driving up interest rates and causing lending institutions to be more cautious. That's obviously not great news, at least in the short term, for a company whose purpose is to vet loans.However, Upstart's operating model brings a slew of competitive advantages and intriguing growth opportunities to the table that should allow it to maintain a superior growth rate over the next five years, if not well beyond.For example, Upstart relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to vet loans. Whereas the traditional vetting process can take weeks and be quite costly, approximately three-quarters of all Upstart loans are being fully automated and approved. This saves applicants time, and more importantly saves financial institutions money.To build on this point, Upstart's AI-driven lending platform has opened the door to a broader swath of the population. Relying on AI instead of traditional vetting metrics has allowed persons with lower credit scores to be approved for loans. But even though Upstart's approvals have lower average credit scores than with the traditional vetting process, delinquency rates have been similar. In other words, Upstart's loan pool is giving financial institutions a larger addressable market without increasing their risk.What's more, Upstart is pushing into new loan channels that offer more opportunity. Following the company's acquisition of Prodigy Software in 2021, Upstart can now offer AI-based auto loans. The auto-loan origination market is nearly seven times the size of personal loans, which is where it has focused most of its attention until now. With an addressable loan-origination market of $6 trillion, which includes mortgages and small-business lending, Upstart's ceiling appears sky-high.LovesacA second game-changing stock that can confidently be bought during the Nasdaq bear market and can triple your money over the next five years is furniture maker The Lovesac Company.Normally, the phrase \"furniture stock\" is used to put someone to sleep. Furniture companies are typically stodgy brick-and-mortar operators that rely on the same small group of wholesalers for their products. What makes Lovesac so interesting is that it's looking to disrupt this stodgy industry in a variety of ways.It all begins with Lovesac's products. While the company was originally known for selling beanbag-styled chairs known as sacs, nearly 88% of its revenue these days comes from selling its \"sactionals.\" These are modular sectional couches that can be rearranged dozens of ways to fit most living spaces.Aside from offering functionality, sactionals differentiate themselves based on their available options. Buyers have more than 200 different covers to choose from, which ensures that sactionals can match the color or theme of any living space. And they can be upgraded with wireless charging and/or surround-sound systems.As one final note, the yarn used in sactional covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. This makes Lovesac's products incredibly eco-friendly, which is probably why early-born millennials are the company's core customers.Beyond its products, Lovesac uses its omnichannel sales platform to stand out. For instance, the company was able to shift around half of its sales online during the pandemic. Having a sizable direct-to-consumer presence, as well as leaning on pop-up showrooms and online partnerships, helps lower the company's overhead and boosts its operating margins.Long story short, this furniture stock offers sustainable revenue and profit growth of 15% to 20% annually.Deliveries of the Nio ET7 electric sedan began in late March 2022.

Joke’s on me, huh? Well, <b><u>technical indicators now suggest those same growth stocks will soar once again!</u></b></p><p>Look no further than Cathie Wood’s <b>ARK Innovation <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a></b> (<b><u>ARKK</u></b>) — a collection of the market’s momentous growthy stocks. It’s surging of late. ARKK is up about 17% over the past month. Compare that to the <b>S&amp;P 500’s</b> paltry 1.5%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67bd2065680556fa8da3a015596ab459\" tg-width=\"1430\" tg-height=\"923\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>But that’s first-level thinking. Digging deeper, our thinking concludes that Cathie Wood’s stocks are forming a rare technical pattern — a “<b><i>bullish ascending triangle.</i></b>” Here’s the kicker: <b>Bullish ascending triangles typically precede massive breakouts.</b></p><p>Cathie Wood stocks aside, we’re seeing breadth indicators flashing <i>super </i>bullish signals across the tech sector right now.</p><p>Put it all together, and the picture comes into focus. High-flying growth stocks appear to be on the cusp of a massive breakout.</p><p>The last time these stocks broke out in 2020, millionaires were minted as their stocks went parabolic. We’re looking at a potential repeat in 2022-2023.</p><p>It’s time to back up the truck and<b> </b><b><u>load up on growth stocks</u></b><b>.</b></p><h2>Bullish Ascending Triangle</h2><p>Speaking of parabolic, let’s go back to 2020. (I know, it seems like decades ago because of “pandemic time.”) At that time, the growth of Cathie Wood’s stocks could only be properly described as nothing short of parabolic. Then, those same high-flying stocks came crashing down.</p><p>Now, <b>a rare technical pattern indicates that growth is about to go parabolic once more.</b></p><p>Since early June, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a> has formed what’s known by traders as a bullish ascending triangle pattern.</p><p>The ETF has formed a flat resistance line around $45. Its support line is rising — from $35 to $40 to, as of press time, $43. On the chart, this trading action forms an <b>ascending triangle</b>.</p><p>When this ascending triangle converges — or when the flat resistance line converges on the rising support line — the underlying asset typically sees a massive breakout.</p><p>Right now, the ARK Innovation ETF’s flat resistance line is at $45, and its rising support line is at $43. <b><i>A convergence is basically here.</i></b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df75cc16e19cfb42b63b9eec9cbd04e5\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"273\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>What comes next? <b><u>Technical analysis says a massive breakout in growth stocks</u></b>.</p><p>We agree — but for reasons beyond just this bullish technical pattern.</p><h2>Bullish Breadth Indicators</h2><p>Per our analysis, Cathie Wood stocks won’t be the only ones that partake in this coming surprise breakout rally.</p><p><b>The whole tech sector should catch a ride, too. </b></p><p>Like Cathie’s investments, tech stocks have recently outperformed the broader market. As a result of this rally, a historically foolproof bullish breadth indicator has been triggered for tech stocks.</p><p>Indeed, this week, the number of <b>Nasdaq 100 </b>stocks trading above their 200-day moving average crossed from below to above 20%. That’s a bullish breadth crossover signal that always leads to big rallies.</p><p>When I say always, I mean <i>always</i>.</p><p>Since 2008, this signal has led to positive tech stock returns over the following 60 days <b>100% of the time</b>. The average return in that stretch? 15%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd39f52b3f9e0cb4bcd9b28e6a5df478\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>In other words, one of history’s most reliable bullish breadth indicators likely triggered tech stocks toward a massive short-term breakout.</p><p>Couple that with the ascending bullish triangle forming in the ARK Innovation ETF. The data implies that <b><u>you should buy growth stocks right now to score big gains over the next 3 months</u></b>.</p><h2>The Final Word on a Breakout in Growth Stocks</h2><p>I don’t like repeating myself, but some statements bear repeating. To that end, <b>stocks have been crushed in 2022</b>. You know it. I know it. Our portfolios definitely know it. Consequently, investors are running from the markets to hide from the collateral damage. But don’t despair! I’ve just laid out a mountain of (growing) evidence suggesting that, not only is the worst of the selloff over, but a massive market rebound is also on the horizon.</p><p>Here’s the thing:<b> That rebound will only be concentrated in high-growth stocks.</b></p><p>Those millionaire-minting stocks from 2020 could see a repeat performance in the second half of 2022.</p><p>One such stock is a tiny $3 technology stock. It may be <b><u>the most compelling 12-month investment in the market today</u></b>.</p><p>See; the world’s largest company — <b>Apple </b>(<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) — will reportedly announce a brand-new product over the next 12 months.</p><p>It’s not another iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad. It’s an innovative new product that could be bigger than all those products combined.</p><p>And per my analysis, the $3 stock I’m talking about is positioned to secure a partnership with Apple.

Joke’s on me, huh? Well, technical indicators now suggest those same growth stocks will soar once again!Look no further than Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF (ARKK) — a collection of the market’s momentous growthy stocks. It’s surging of late. ARKK is up about 17% over the past month. Compare that to the S&P 500’s paltry 1.5%.But that’s first-level thinking. Digging deeper, our thinking concludes that Cathie Wood’s stocks are forming a rare technical pattern — a “bullish ascending triangle.” Here’s the kicker: Bullish ascending triangles typically precede massive breakouts.Cathie Wood stocks aside, we’re seeing breadth indicators flashing super bullish signals across the tech sector right now.Put it all together, and the picture comes into focus. High-flying growth stocks appear to be on the cusp of a massive breakout.The last time these stocks broke out in 2020, millionaires were minted as their stocks went parabolic. We’re looking at a potential repeat in 2022-2023.It’s time to back up the truck and load up on growth stocks.Bullish Ascending TriangleSpeaking of parabolic, let’s go back to 2020. (I know, it seems like decades ago because of “pandemic time.”) At that time, the growth of Cathie Wood’s stocks could only be properly described as nothing short of parabolic. Then, those same high-flying stocks came crashing down.Now, a rare technical pattern indicates that growth is about to go parabolic once more.Since early June, the ARK Innovation ETF has formed what’s known by traders as a bullish ascending triangle pattern.The ETF has formed a flat resistance line around $45. Its support line is rising — from $35 to $40 to, as of press time, $43. On the chart, this trading action forms an ascending triangle.When this ascending triangle converges — or when the flat resistance line converges on the rising support line — the underlying asset typically sees a massive breakout.Right now, the ARK Innovation ETF’s flat resistance line is at $45, and its rising support line is at $43. A convergence is basically here.What comes next? Technical analysis says a massive breakout in growth stocks.We agree — but for reasons beyond just this bullish technical pattern.Bullish Breadth IndicatorsPer our analysis, Cathie Wood stocks won’t be the only ones that partake in this coming surprise breakout rally.The whole tech sector should catch a ride, too. Like Cathie’s investments, tech stocks have recently outperformed the broader market. As a result of this rally, a historically foolproof bullish breadth indicator has been triggered for tech stocks.Indeed, this week, the number of Nasdaq 100 stocks trading above their 200-day moving average crossed from below to above 20%. That’s a bullish breadth crossover signal that always leads to big rallies.When I say always, I mean always.Since 2008, this signal has led to positive tech stock returns over the following 60 days 100% of the time. The average return in that stretch? 15%.In other words, one of history’s most reliable bullish breadth indicators likely triggered tech stocks toward a massive short-term breakout.Couple that with the ascending bullish triangle forming in the ARK Innovation ETF. The data implies that you should buy growth stocks right now to score big gains over the next 3 months.The Final Word on a Breakout in Growth StocksI don’t like repeating myself, but some statements bear repeating. To that end, stocks have been crushed in 2022. You know it. I know it. Our portfolios definitely know it. Consequently, investors are running from the markets to hide from the collateral damage. But don’t despair! I’ve just laid out a mountain of (growing) evidence suggesting that, not only is the worst of the selloff over, but a massive market rebound is also on the horizon.Here’s the thing: That rebound will only be concentrated in high-growth stocks.Those millionaire-minting stocks from 2020 could see a repeat performance in the second half of 2022.One such stock is a tiny $3 technology stock. It may be the most compelling 12-month investment in the market today.See; the world’s largest company — Apple (AAPL) — will reportedly announce a brand-new product over the next 12 months.It’s not another iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad. It’s an innovative new product that could be bigger than all those products combined.And per my analysis, the $3 stock I’m talking about is positioned to secure a partnership with Apple. If that happens, it will supply a critical piece of technology to make this new product hum.Quick market tip: Apple supplier stocks don’t trade for $3. Just look at Skyworks (SWKS) stock. That’s a major iPhone parts supplier. It’s trading for $100. Long ago, though, it also traded for $3.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9997525764,"gmtCreate":1661824397260,"gmtModify":1676536586250,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree with the recommended stocks!&nbsp;","listText":"Agree with the recommended stocks!&nbsp;","text":"Agree with the recommended stocks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9997525764","repostId":"1155681056","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155681056","pubTimestamp":1661823719,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155681056?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-30 09:41","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Have S$10,000 to Spare?

Total revenue increased only 3% year-over-year in Q2 to $6.7 billion. This also represented a 19% decline sequentially. Comparatively, Nvidia has consistently grown its revenue above 40% on a year-over-year basis since the start of 2020.</p><p>The company&#39;s gaming segment was the primary driver of this disappointing performance. Nvidia&#39;s gaming business saw a year-over-year revenue decline of 33% to $2.04 billion in Q2. The bulk of this drop was due to macroeconomic headwinds pressuring consumer demand for its gaming graphics processing units (GPUs).</p><p>Third-quarter guidance was bleak as well. The company expects to generate roughly $5.9 billion in revenue during the quarter, which is a drop of 17% compared to the year-ago period. This will likely be driven by sequential declines in its gaming and professional visualization businesses. On the bright side, however, two business segments -- data center and automotive -- are expected to post sequential increases.</p><p>Nvidia reported preliminary Q2 guidance earlier in August, so this performance wasn&#39;t a surprise. The more prominent concern, however, is that this isn&#39;t an industry-wide issue. <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>, one of Nvidia&#39;s rivals, posted 70% year-over-year revenue expansion in its second quarter, highlighted by a 32% rise in gaming revenue over the same period. This might signal that Nvidia is losing market share in the gaming space and even the chip industry.</p><p>With this slowing growth, Nvidia&#39;s valuation becomes slightly more concerning. The stock is not cheap at 49 times earnings, and while that might be down from its 2020 and 2021 levels, it is higher than the valuation it had for most of 2013 to 2017, plus the majority of 2019.</p><h2>What metrics truly matter</h2><p>That said, Nvidia is still the dominant player in the chip space, especially when it comes to gaming GPUs. Nvidia&#39;s GeForce gaming GPUs are some of the most popular GPUs on the market, representing all of the top 15 most popular GPUs on the video game platform Steam. In the data center market, 72% of the world&#39;s top 500 fastest supercomputers are powered by Nvidia.</p><p>It&#39;s also important to recognize that Nvidia&#39;s gaming business might not be the primary driver of its long-term success. The company targets a $1 trillion opportunity, and gaming only represents 10% of that amount. Comparatively, the data center systems and automotive segments represent 60% of this potential.</p><p>On these fronts, Nvidia continued to gain steam in Q2. Data center revenue soared 61% year-over-year to $3.81 billion, while automotive revenue jumped 45% over the same period to $220 million. While still small, management believes its automotive business could become the company&#39;s next $1 billion business.</p><p>Lastly, Nvidia remained profitable. The company generated $656 million in net income in Q2, and while that was a stark decline from the $1.6 billion profit it posted in the year-ago quarter, it marks a nearly 10% profit margin. Additionally, Nvidia generated $837 million in free cash flow in Q2. It can use this cash to invest in innovation to create the best products, helping it capitalize on its lucrative long-term prospects.</p><h2>Why Nvidia stock is a buy now</h2><p>The company is facing some short-term pressure, and that is cause for concern. The fact that rivals aren&#39;t seeing the same stress as Nvidia is another reason to be cautious. That said, long-term investors willing to hold, even during short-term turmoil, could still see healthy returns.</p><p>Nvidia has a proven track record of dominance and benefiting from its leadership. It will be critical to ensure it persists over the course of multiple years, and investors will be able to see that through top-line expansion.

But still, what became clear was that sellers were in the market, and they could offset that usually implied volatility melt and sink stocks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/459b1b4fde70f77ff59f4b70461818a8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p><b>Rates Will Go Much Higher</b></p><p>The Fed&#39;s plan to get rates to 4.4% this year was just too much for the stock market and not expected. Fed Fund Futures were only looking at 4% rates by December 2022. The Fed&#39;s projections were 40 bps higher than the market and about 1.25% higher than the Fed Fund Rate following today&#39;s 75 BPS rate hike. That means the market will need to price two additional rate hikes for the rest of 2022.</p><p>The Fed&#39;s projections for 4.6% for 2023 have also shifted the Fed Funds Futures peak terminal rate to 4.62% from 4.48% yesterday. Additionally, that peak rate is expected to come in May 2023 instead of April. But more importantly, as time passes, we should see those Fed Funds Futures begin to take the shape of the Fed&#39;s expected path.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9cc424c7d0e3e3e8aacd8113b242d37\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"312\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Mott Capital</p><p>The shift in the futures market should feed through to the Treasury curve. Treasuries are already beginning to rise further with the 2-Yr and 3-Yr gaining and now above 4%. Based on the Fed projections, they would suggest we&#39;re likely to see the two and three-year Treasuries not only stay above 4% but well above 4%, potentially matching those peak terminal rates of 4.6% the Fed is forecasting.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc4e3deca3e43f787644f7190a194f61\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"371\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>The higher rates will help strengthen the dollar index, especially against Japan and China, which are clearly in much easier monetary policy positions. Additionally, with Europe&#39;s energy crisis and on the brink of recession, the dollar is likely to strengthen further against the euro.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25c055312b974bed34e316facbc1f710\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p><b>Tighter Financial Conditions</b></p><p>Rising rates and a stronger dollar also will help real yield rise, and together all of these things will work to tighten financial conditions even more in the coming weeks. While the Chicago Fed&#39;s National Financial Conditions (NFCI) and Adjusted NFCI tightened some this week, they still need to see their index value get above zero. Tightening financial conditions will work to sink stocks as they usually do.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8a87b59ca2e6b628c52613bf8779055\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p><b>Wider Spreads</b></p><p>Additionally, corporate and high-yield credit spreads should widen further, which historically is directly tied to changes in the stock market volatility as measured by the VIX index. Plus, now that the VIX options expiration occurred on Sept. 21, the VIX will be able to move higher more freely and will not be tied to the lower levels due to option positioning.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/422c3763f701f4e62df97f8511fd97b9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>All of this is bad for stocks because, on a relative basis, the S&amp;P 500 already is expensive, with an equity risk premium over the 10-Yr of just 2.4%. That&#39;s a historically low level since 2010 and 135 bps below the historical average of 3.76%. An increase of 135 bps in the S&amp;P 500 earnings yield would send it to roughly 7.25% from around 5.9%. That would take the S&amp;P 500 PE ratio of 16.9 to approximately 13.8, or an S&amp;P 500 value of roughly 3,100. That would be an additional 18% lower than its closing price of about 3,790 on Sept. 21.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4bef51568c210e3673e7b0a8aa6a8ba\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"345\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>But that&#39;s the thing - it all depends on where rates go because if rates do rise as the Fed suggests, and the 2-yr gets to around 4.5% and assuming the curve remains inverted by 50 bps, the 10-Yr would trade with a 4% yield, and then, of course, that would imply an even higher earnings yield for the S&amp;P 500, and lower PE ratio.</p><p><b>Very Serious</b></p><p>The Fed is dead serious about raising rates. I have been warning about the end of QE and rate hikes and the consequence for about a year. As I also explained, the July and August 2022rally was a giant head-fake, and it got many investors on the wrong side of things, believing the Fed would cave and pivot. This time is different; the Fed has a serious inflation problem for the first time in about 40 years. During the 2010s, the Fed only had to worry about the unemployment rate because inflation was nonexistent, so that it could pivot at the first signs of slowing growth.</p><p>But now inflation is job number one for the Fed, and everything else is a distant second.</p></body></html>","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>The Federal Reserve Delivers A Massive Shock To The Stock Market</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\">\nThe Federal Reserve Delivers A Massive Shock To The Stock Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-22 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542392-fed-delivers-massive-shock-to-stock-market><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe Fed's forecast for rate hikes was more hawkish than expected.Even the usually implied volatility melt didn't help to lift stocks.The S&P 500 could probably fall to around 3,100.After ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542392-fed-delivers-massive-shock-to-stock-market\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542392-fed-delivers-massive-shock-to-stock-market","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1104523508","content_text":"SummaryThe Fed's forecast for rate hikes was more hawkish than expected.Even the usually implied volatility melt didn't help to lift stocks.The S&P 500 could probably fall to around 3,100.After several attempts to rein in the stock market, the Fed may have figured it out.

It was what the Fed needed to deliver for financial conditions to tighten adequately and for the Fed to start to bring inflation down.Federal ReserveOld Games Didn't WorkOf course, the equity market tried to play its implied volatility melt in the middle of the trading session game, with the S&P 500 managing to rally by more than 2% off its post-FOMC lows. But still, what became clear was that sellers were in the market, and they could offset that usually implied volatility melt and sink stocks.BloombergRates Will Go Much HigherThe Fed's plan to get rates to 4.4% this year was just too much for the stock market and not expected. Fed Fund Futures were only looking at 4% rates by December 2022. The Fed's projections were 40 bps higher than the market and about 1.25% higher than the Fed Fund Rate following today's 75 BPS rate hike. That means the market will need to price two additional rate hikes for the rest of 2022.The Fed's projections for 4.6% for 2023 have also shifted the Fed Funds Futures peak terminal rate to 4.62% from 4.48% yesterday. Additionally, that peak rate is expected to come in May 2023 instead of April. But more importantly, as time passes, we should see those Fed Funds Futures begin to take the shape of the Fed's expected path.Mott CapitalThe shift in the futures market should feed through to the Treasury curve. Treasuries are already beginning to rise further with the 2-Yr and 3-Yr gaining and now above 4%. Based on the Fed projections, they would suggest we're likely to see the two and three-year Treasuries not only stay above 4% but well above 4%, potentially matching those peak terminal rates of 4.6% the Fed is forecasting.BloombergThe higher rates will help strengthen the dollar index, especially against Japan and China, which are clearly in much easier monetary policy positions. Additionally, with Europe's energy crisis and on the brink of recession, the dollar is likely to strengthen further against the euro.BloombergTighter Financial ConditionsRising rates and a stronger dollar also will help real yield rise, and together all of these things will work to tighten financial conditions even more in the coming weeks. While the Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions (NFCI) and Adjusted NFCI tightened some this week, they still need to see their index value get above zero. Tightening financial conditions will work to sink stocks as they usually do.BloombergWider SpreadsAdditionally, corporate and high-yield credit spreads should widen further, which historically is directly tied to changes in the stock market volatility as measured by the VIX index. Plus, now that the VIX options expiration occurred on Sept. 21, the VIX will be able to move higher more freely and will not be tied to the lower levels due to option positioning.BloombergAll of this is bad for stocks because, on a relative basis, the S&P 500 already is expensive, with an equity risk premium over the 10-Yr of just 2.4%. That's a historically low level since 2010 and 135 bps below the historical average of 3.76%. An increase of 135 bps in the S&P 500 earnings yield would send it to roughly 7.25% from around 5.9%. That would take the S&P 500 PE ratio of 16.9 to approximately 13.8, or an S&P 500 value of roughly 3,100. That would be an additional 18% lower than its closing price of about 3,790 on Sept. 21.BloombergBut that's the thing - it all depends on where rates go because if rates do rise as the Fed suggests, and the 2-yr gets to around 4.5% and assuming the curve remains inverted by 50 bps, the 10-Yr would trade with a 4% yield, and then, of course, that would imply an even higher earnings yield for the S&P 500, and lower PE ratio.Very SeriousThe Fed is dead serious about raising rates. I have been warning about the end of QE and rate hikes and the consequence for about a year. As I also explained, the July and August 2022rally was a giant head-fake, and it got many investors on the wrong side of things, believing the Fed would cave and pivot. This time is different; the Fed has a serious inflation problem for the first time in about 40 years. During the 2010s, the Fed only had to worry about the unemployment rate because inflation was nonexistent, so that it could pivot at the first signs of slowing growth.But now inflation is job number one for the Fed, and everything else is a distant second.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9995347356,"gmtCreate":1661418100979,"gmtModify":1676536515098,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's a good stock as long as long as it keeps releasing new or better&nbsp;versions&nbsp;","listText":"It's a good stock as long as long as it keeps releasing new or better&nbsp;versions&nbsp;","text":"It's a good stock as long as long as it keeps releasing new or better versions","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9995347356","repostId":"1155224332","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155224332","pubTimestamp":1661413530,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155224332?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-25 15:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: Is It Overvalued?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155224332","media":"TheStreet","summary":"One of the main pillars of the bearish thesis on Apple stock is the rich valuation.

Now Elon Musk Doesn't Want to Buy. Cue Strange Legal Drama","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2250606606","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Elon Musk's showdown with Twitter Inc. has set the stage for what could become one of the most unusu","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Elon Musk&#39;s showdown with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter Inc.</a> has set the stage for what could become one of the most unusual courtroom battles in corporate-takeover history -- a spurned acquisition target that never sought to be bought potentially trying to force the buyer who soured on the deal to see it through.</p><p>In just over three months, Mr. Musk aggressively pursued a takeover that Twitter first resisted, then he prevailed and reneged -- all the while using the very platform to ridicule Twitter and its leaders and drop hints about his shifting intentions.</p><p>With Mr. Musk&#39;s attempt to terminate his $44 billion takeover, Twitter says it plans legal action. In a statement Friday, it indicated it will file a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery arguing Mr. Musk must close the agreed-upon deal.</p><p>Friday evening, he filed papers saying he wanted out, taking aim at Twitter on several fronts and saying the company violated the merger agreement. He accused Twitter of withholding data from him to verify facts about the business and that its statements on the amount of spam on the platform represent material misstatements to regulators. He also argued the company was making critical changes to the ordinary running of the business without his consent, such as imposing a hiring freeze and layoffs.</p><p>Corporate-law experts say Twitter appears to be on sounder legal footing than Mr. Musk. The filing didn&#39;t provide evidence to back up his assertion that the estimate was inaccurate or an alternate calculation. &#34;This isn&#39;t even in the ballpark,&#34; said Zohar Goshen, professor of transactional law at Columbia Law School, adding that the impact on a company&#39;s value needs to be so dramatic that its value would be halved, for example.</p><p>Layoffs and hiring freezes at tech companies in recent weeks also have become commonplace. Facebook parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. has cut back on hiring and Mr. Musk&#39;s Tesla Inc. is trimming staff.</p><p>The question remains whether it is really possible to force the eccentric billionaire -- known for eschewing norms even when it gets him in legal trouble -- to buy a company he doesn&#39;t want to own.</p><p>&#34;What are they going to do if there is a judgment and he says, &#39;Well, I&#39;m still not going to buy it&#39;?&#34; said Mr. Goshen. &#34;They don&#39;t really have tools to force him to go through with it. You don&#39;t put people in jail because they don&#39;t buy something.&#34;</p><p>There have been a few examples of buyers being forced to follow through with purchases under the &#34;specific-performance&#34; clause Mr. Musk agreed to, but most were small deals. Never has the concept of a court forcing a buyer to complete a deal been tested on such a large scale.</p><p>Most legal clashes over soured deals end in settlements involving a price cut or one-time payment. Mr. Musk agreed to pay a $1 billion reverse termination fee to Twitter if the deal falls apart, triggered under certain scenarios including if his debt financing falls through or regulators try to block the deal. Neither has occurred.</p><p>The clash pits multiple white-shoe law firms against each other. Twitter has recently retained Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen &amp; Katz, people familiar with the matter said, while Mr. Musk is using Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP. Twitter has already been working with Simpson Thacher &amp; Bartlett LLP and Wilson Sonsini, while Mr. Musk&#39;s team also includes lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart &amp; Sullivan.</p><p>The agreement caps at $1 billion the amount Twitter could sue for damages, meaning its only options are to sue for specific performance to force him to follow through, or a maximum of $1 billion. A representative for Mr. Musk declined to comment.</p><p>The standoff leaves Twitter in a precarious position, given that its prospects as a stand-alone company are daunting in part because of a digital-advertising market in upheaval. Twitter shares closed at $36.81 Friday, 32% below the $54.20-a-share price Mr. Musk agreed to pay.</p><p>Facing broadsides from Mr. Musk and a softening ad market, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal has been trying to prepare it for a difficult period ahead, whether under Mr. Musk&#39;s ownership or not. In May, he announced a hiring freeze and belt tightening, saying he was taking action during the takeover because economic conditions had worsened and Twitter couldn&#39;t assume the deal with Mr. Musk would close. This past week, he cut recruiting staff.</p><p>Investors appear unnerved by the latest twist, sending Twitter&#39;s stock 4.81% lower in Friday after-hours trading following Mr. Musk&#39;s disclosure.</p><h2>Musk&#39;s romp</h2><p>Mr. Musk&#39;s Twitter romp began with the unannounced purchase of $22.8 million of Twitter shares on Jan. 31. He kept buying in February and March, building a roughly 9% stake for $2.6 billion and becoming the largest individual investor.</p><p>He took public jabs at Twitter, polling his followers on the site over whether it adheres to free-speech principles and publicly toying with the idea of started a rival. By the time his stake became public on April 4, Mr. Musk had been secretly talking to Twitter for nine days.</p><p>He initially reached out to Jack Dorsey, the company&#39;s co-founder and a friend of Mr. Musk&#39;s, then spoke to director Egon Durban, co-CEO of private-equity firm Silver Lake, another acquaintance, according to a public filing on the deal.</p><p>The discussions began congenially, with Mr. Musk saying he might want to join the board. Then on Apr. 9, hours before taking the board seat Twitter had agreed to give him, he withdrew. Four days later, he made an unsolicited takeover offer at $54.20 a share and made the offer public the subsequent day.</p><p>Twitter initially seemed to turn up its nose but eventually relented -- in part because directors concluded that no one else was likely to have the interest or ability to buy the company at the price Mr. Musk was offering. The billionaire agreed to waive detailed due diligence of Twitter&#39;s business.</p><p>Even as the transaction was coming together, Mr. Musk was voicing concerns about a darkening economic and business outlook. In late March, Tesla had to temporarily shut its auto plant in Shanghai, the company&#39;s largest, as China implemented pandemic restrictions, sending the stock steadily lower. And, on an April 20 earnings call, Mr. Musk talked about mounting inflationary pressures.</p><p>On May 13, Mr. Musk shocked many people involved in the deal with a predawn tweet saying the deal was &#34;temporarily on hold.&#34; He later added he remained committed to seeing it through. He cited questions about Twitter&#39;s estimate that fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily average users are spam or fake accounts.</p><p>Fake accounts are certainly a concern for social-media companies. But Mr. Musk had long been aware of fake accounts on Twitter -- he tweeted about it at least as far back as 2018 -- and Twitter&#39;s estimate hadn&#39;t changed in years. Mr. Musk said repeatedly that part of his goal as owner would be, as he put it in an April 21 tweet, to &#34;defeat the spam bots or die trying!&#34;</p><p>The May 13 bombshell kicked off weeks of public and private back and forth between Mr. Musk, Mr. Agrawal and lawyers and advisers for both sides, according to Friday&#39;s filing. After Mr. Agrawal on May 16 tweeted an explanation of the company&#39;s spam accounting, Mr. Musk responded with a poop emoji, then followed up with a question: &#34;So how do advertisers know what they&#39;re getting for their money? This is fundamental to the financial health of Twitter.&#34;</p><p>Asked on Twitter on May 26 about the prospects of a recession, Mr. Musk said he expected one that could last 12 to 18 months. On May 24, Tesla shares hit their lowest point since June 2021, down nearly 50% from their all-time high in November. The fall had knocked more than $100 billion off Mr. Musk&#39;s net worth, weakening a key asset he was using to help fund the Twitter deal.</p><p>As he was lining up financing, Mr. Musk sold $8.5 billion of Tesla stock over three days.

In a statement Friday, it indicated it will file a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery arguing Mr. Musk must close the agreed-upon deal.Friday evening, he filed papers saying he wanted out, taking aim at Twitter on several fronts and saying the company violated the merger agreement. He accused Twitter of withholding data from him to verify facts about the business and that its statements on the amount of spam on the platform represent material misstatements to regulators. He also argued the company was making critical changes to the ordinary running of the business without his consent, such as imposing a hiring freeze and layoffs.Corporate-law experts say Twitter appears to be on sounder legal footing than Mr. Musk. The filing didn't provide evidence to back up his assertion that the estimate was inaccurate or an alternate calculation. \"This isn't even in the ballpark,\" said Zohar Goshen, professor of transactional law at Columbia Law School, adding that the impact on a company's value needs to be so dramatic that its value would be halved, for example.Layoffs and hiring freezes at tech companies in recent weeks also have become commonplace. Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. has cut back on hiring and Mr. Musk's Tesla Inc. is trimming staff.The question remains whether it is really possible to force the eccentric billionaire -- known for eschewing norms even when it gets him in legal trouble -- to buy a company he doesn't want to own.\"What are they going to do if there is a judgment and he says, 'Well, I'm still not going to buy it'?\" said Mr. Goshen. \"They don't really have tools to force him to go through with it. You don't put people in jail because they don't buy something.\"There have been a few examples of buyers being forced to follow through with purchases under the \"specific-performance\" clause Mr. Musk agreed to, but most were small deals. Never has the concept of a court forcing a buyer to complete a deal been tested on such a large scale.Most legal clashes over soured deals end in settlements involving a price cut or one-time payment. Mr. Musk agreed to pay a $1 billion reverse termination fee to Twitter if the deal falls apart, triggered under certain scenarios including if his debt financing falls through or regulators try to block the deal. Neither has occurred.The clash pits multiple white-shoe law firms against each other. Twitter has recently retained Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, people familiar with the matter said, while Mr. Musk is using Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Twitter has already been working with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Wilson Sonsini, while Mr. Musk's team also includes lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.The agreement caps at $1 billion the amount Twitter could sue for damages, meaning its only options are to sue for specific performance to force him to follow through, or a maximum of $1 billion. A representative for Mr. Musk declined to comment.The standoff leaves Twitter in a precarious position, given that its prospects as a stand-alone company are daunting in part because of a digital-advertising market in upheaval. Twitter shares closed at $36.81 Friday, 32% below the $54.20-a-share price Mr. Musk agreed to pay.Facing broadsides from Mr. Musk and a softening ad market, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal has been trying to prepare it for a difficult period ahead, whether under Mr. Musk's ownership or not. In May, he announced a hiring freeze and belt tightening, saying he was taking action during the takeover because economic conditions had worsened and Twitter couldn't assume the deal with Mr. Musk would close. This past week, he cut recruiting staff.Investors appear unnerved by the latest twist, sending Twitter's stock 4.81% lower in Friday after-hours trading following Mr. Musk's disclosure.Musk's rompMr. Musk's Twitter romp began with the unannounced purchase of $22.8 million of Twitter shares on Jan. 31. He kept buying in February and March, building a roughly 9% stake for $2.6 billion and becoming the largest individual investor.He took public jabs at Twitter, polling his followers on the site over whether it adheres to free-speech principles and publicly toying with the idea of started a rival. By the time his stake became public on April 4, Mr. Musk had been secretly talking to Twitter for nine days.He initially reached out to Jack Dorsey, the company's co-founder and a friend of Mr. Musk's, then spoke to director Egon Durban, co-CEO of private-equity firm Silver Lake, another acquaintance, according to a public filing on the deal.The discussions began congenially, with Mr. Musk saying he might want to join the board. Then on Apr. 9, hours before taking the board seat Twitter had agreed to give him, he withdrew. Four days later, he made an unsolicited takeover offer at $54.20 a share and made the offer public the subsequent day.Twitter initially seemed to turn up its nose but eventually relented -- in part because directors concluded that no one else was likely to have the interest or ability to buy the company at the price Mr. Musk was offering. The billionaire agreed to waive detailed due diligence of Twitter's business.Even as the transaction was coming together, Mr. Musk was voicing concerns about a darkening economic and business outlook. In late March, Tesla had to temporarily shut its auto plant in Shanghai, the company's largest, as China implemented pandemic restrictions, sending the stock steadily lower. And, on an April 20 earnings call, Mr. Musk talked about mounting inflationary pressures.On May 13, Mr. Musk shocked many people involved in the deal with a predawn tweet saying the deal was \"temporarily on hold.\" He later added he remained committed to seeing it through. He cited questions about Twitter's estimate that fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily average users are spam or fake accounts.Fake accounts are certainly a concern for social-media companies. But Mr. Musk had long been aware of fake accounts on Twitter -- he tweeted about it at least as far back as 2018 -- and Twitter's estimate hadn't changed in years. Mr. Musk said repeatedly that part of his goal as owner would be, as he put it in an April 21 tweet, to \"defeat the spam bots or die trying!\"The May 13 bombshell kicked off weeks of public and private back and forth between Mr. Musk, Mr. Agrawal and lawyers and advisers for both sides, according to Friday's filing. After Mr. Agrawal on May 16 tweeted an explanation of the company's spam accounting, Mr. Musk responded with a poop emoji, then followed up with a question: \"So how do advertisers know what they're getting for their money? This is fundamental to the financial health of Twitter.\"Asked on Twitter on May 26 about the prospects of a recession, Mr. Musk said he expected one that could last 12 to 18 months. On May 24, Tesla shares hit their lowest point since June 2021, down nearly 50% from their all-time high in November. The fall had knocked more than $100 billion off Mr. Musk's net worth, weakening a key asset he was using to help fund the Twitter deal.As he was lining up financing, Mr. Musk sold $8.5 billion of Tesla stock over three days. Afterward, he said he planned to sell no further shares. He remains the auto maker's largest investor, with a stake of around 16%, and planned to borrow against his stake. His original financing plan for Twitter included $12.5 billion from margin loans backed by Tesla stock he owns. But Tesla's share price kept falling, effectively increasing the number of shares Mr. Musk would have to pledge as collateral.About a month after the deal -- with Tesla shares now down 37% from when Mr. Musk agreed to buy Twitter -- Mr. Musk filed a revised funding plan that eliminated the margin loans. Instead, he pledged more equity financing. The funding details left questions about how Mr. Musk would come up with roughly $14 billion of his financing package that he still needed to secure himself or through outside investors.Twitter's troublesOn April 21, Twitter rival Snap Inc. had spooked investors with disappointing earnings and a stark warning of trouble in the digital ad market. Twitter, soon after, withdrew all previously provided goals and outlooks with its first quarter earnings, and didn't provide any forward-looking guidance.On May 12, Twitter's Mr. Agrawal told staff the company was imposing a hiring freeze and cutting back on spending.While some Twitter employees expressed optimism that Mr. Musk might reinvigorate the company, many were bewildered about their futures and upset at Mr. Musk's incessant public hectoring, The Wall Street Journal has reported.In the month after the deal was inked, executives held more than a dozen companywide or division-wide meetings to address employee questions.

That message was shared with outsiders within an hour.Mr. Musk on Saturday addressed attendees at the annual Allen & Co. gathering of media and tech leaders in Sun Valley, Idaho, mostly steering clear of Twitter. He focused his remarks on explaining how he forms his opinions and what goes into the conclusions he reaches.At one point, he did ask his audience how many thought the number of fake accounts on Twitter was less than 5%, said an attendee, and people seemed hesitant to raise a hand.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957132927,"gmtCreate":1677074113869,"gmtModify":1677074117326,"author":{"id":"4092995662740600","authorId":"4092995662740600","name":"skyblue8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47ce6f29ae4a66da5881dacedb8d4754","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092995662740600","authorIdStr":"4092995662740600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TCEHY\">$Tencent Holding Ltd.(TCEHY)$ </a>&nbsp;Time to buy?&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TCEHY\">$Tencent Holding Ltd.(TCEHY)$ </a>&nbsp;Time to buy?&nbsp;","text":"$Tencent Holding Ltd.(TCEHY)$ Time to buy?","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/51cb9b5b3f794a3982f47438cee5cb07","width":"1212","height":"2290"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957132927","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":388,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
