That's because furniture tends to be a relatively high overhead operating model that's extremely cyclical and dependent on showrooms and customer traffic. Lovesac has shaken up this model in a variety of ways.</p>\n<p>For instance, Lovesac's sactional couches, which accounted for 84.5% of its fiscal 2021 sales, are modular in design so they can work with just about any livable space. Additionally, there are more than 250 different washable covers that can be purchased for sactionals.

To summarize, we have ESG investing and an abundance of usability options rolled up into one product.</p>\n<p>Lovesac also showed the world that it doesn't need traditional showrooms to thrive. While having access to brick-and-mortar showrooms and partnerships is still important, internet sales flourished last year with people stuck in their homes. Internet sales were up 86% in the fiscal fourth quarter from the prior-year period, and as a percentage of net sales the internet doubled in importance in fiscal 2021 from the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>Best of all, with e-commerce further reducing overhead costs, Lovesac has become profitable well ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b7171ad1e94a044e4bf64e685148e98b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>Another smart stock that should be able to run circles around Dogecoin over the long run is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>What's CRM software? In the simplest explanation, it's software that helps consumer-facing businesses manage client information in real-time. It can be used to log information and track service issues, as well as handle complex tasks such as managing online marketing campaigns and providing predictive analyses of what existing clients might purchase new products or services. Through at least the midpoint of the decade, CRM solutions should offer double-digit average annual growth potential.</p>\n<p>According to IDC, salesforce sits atop this rapidly growing industry. When it examined global CRM revenue in the first-half of 2020, almost 20% of all market share belonged to salesforce. The next four companies behind it didn't even add up to a 20% global revenue share. This suggests it's going to be really hard for competitors to unseat salesforce from its perch.</p>\n<p>The company hasn't been shy about using acquisitions to expand its moat, either. It's in the process of acquiring cloud-based enterprise communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b>&nbsp;for $27.7 billion in a cash-and-stock deal. If completed, salesforce can use Slack as a platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions to small-and-medium-sized businesses.</p>\n<p>Marc Benioff, the CEO of salesforce, aims to grow his company's sales from $21.3 billion in fiscal 2021 to more than $50 billion in five years.

The biggest stocks in the world by market cap will undoubtedly look a bit different in 14 years.","content":"<p>If there's one constant on Wall Street, it's that nothing remains constant for long. The combination of technological innovation, competitive advantages, acquisitions, and other tangible and intangible factors has a tendency to shake-up the world's largest companies on a regular basis.</p><p>For example, in 2004, <b>General Electric</b>, <b>ExxonMobil</b>, <b>Pfizer</b>, <b>Citigroup</b>, <b>Walmart</b>, <b>BP</b>, <b>AIG</b>, <b>Intel</b>, and <b>Bank of America</b> were nine of the 10 largest publicly traded companies by market cap.

Amazon currently controls more than 40% of all online sales in the U.S., and it's signed up 200 million people to Prime worldwide. The fees it collects from Prime memberships help to ensure it can undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price.</p><p>As for AWS, it grew sales by 30% in 2020 (i.e., during the worst economic downturn in decades). AWS has a current run-rate of $54 billion in annual sales, meaning it alone could fetch a valuation north of $600 billion and still be valued cheaply within the cloud space. Because AWS generates considerably higher margins than retail, it's Amazon's key to a cash flow explosion in the years to come.<img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fcloud-computing-data-server-storage-email-blockchain-saas-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Microsoft</h2><p>Despite a myriad of change since 1999, tech stock <b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the only company to remain in the top 10 by market cap in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and currently. Thus, it's a safe bet to suggest it'll hang onto a top-10 spot over the coming 14 years.</p><p>Although Microsoft is still generating plenty of cash flow from its legacy software and Windows operating system, the cloud is its future. Cloud infrastructure service Azure, along with enterprise and consumer cloud products across all of its core brands (Office, Dynamics, and Windows), can fuel sustainable double-digit or high single-digit growth for a long time to come.</p><p>Plus, Microsoft is loaded with cash, meaning it can use acquisitions as a means to boost its growth prospects and remain competitive.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Faapl-iphone-xr.PNG&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"463\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Apple.</p><h2>Apple</h2><p>Speaking of cash cows, I believe <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) remains safely in the top 10, even if its growth rate were to taper a bit.

Subscription services boast higher margins than most products Apple sells, and will help reduce the revenue lumpiness associated with tech replacement cycles.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fstudents-surfing-the-internet-studying-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h2><p>The social media space has proved especially fickle over the past 15 years, so there's certainly the risk <b>Facebook</b> (NASDAQ:FB) won't be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the 10 largest companies by 2035.

Eventually, Cloud is going to do for Alphabet what AWS has done (and will continue to do) for Amazon.</p><p>Meanwhile, Alphabet's core business -- its Google internet search engine -- should benefit from long periods of economic expansion and the company's insane global share of internet search, which has ranged from 91% to 93% for two years.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fairbnb1.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Airbnb.</p><h2>Airbnb</h2><p>Perhaps the first big surprise is that I expect stay-and-hosting company <b>Airbnb</b> (NASDAQ:ABNB) to work its way into the top 10.

The PBOC added that smaller, privately run businesses still face difficulties, and ensuring employment remains a great challenge.\nThe report talked at length about an increase in inflation globally, and forecast China's producer prices would rise later this year as commodity prices climb worldwide. The central bank also noted that rising inflation in major economies has increased the pressure of currency depreciation and capital flows for some emerging economies.\nData out this week showedU.S. consumer prices posted their fastest increase since September 2008,at 4.2% in April. Meanwhile,producer prices rose 6.2%in their fastest increase in the index's roughly one-decade history.\nThe S&P 500 has fallen more than 2% so far this week, while the10-year Treasurybrieflyhit a one-month highof nearly 1.69%.It's not clear if the latest rise in U.S. inflation will be a negative for stocks in the long term.\nChina keeps rates steady\nThe Chinese 10-year government bond yield has held above 3.1%, while the Shanghai composite has climbed 2% this week.China said Tuesday its producer prices rose in Aprilby their fastest in more than three years — up 6.8%. But consumer prices edged up just 0.9% as pork prices fell.\n\"If we have prices rising in China, it's not demand overheating domestically, which could warrant change of monetary policy to slow that,\" said Francoise Huang, senior economist at Euler Hermes, a subsidiary of Allianz, in a phone interview Wednesday. \"I continue to think the policy rates will not be changed this year.\"\nThe Chinese central bank has kept its benchmark lending rate, theloan prime rate, unchanged for a year.The next monthly announcement on the rate is due May 20.\nIn its quarterly report this week, the central bank added that \"prudent\" monetary policy would be flexible, targeted and appropriate.\nHigh employment pressure\nZong Liang, chief researcher at the Bank of China, doesn't expect China's monetary policy to change until the second half of the year, at the earliest. He noted the central bank kept policy relatively tighter in the last two years versus that of other countries.\nAlthough he expects Chinese consumers will pick up their spending in the second quarter, especially as China steps up local vaccinations, consumption is still in a period of recovery, Zong said.\nIn a sign of Beijing's caution on the economy, authorities said at a meeting Wednesday that pressure to support employment remains high. The central government decided at the meeting to extend pandemic-erasupport for unemployment until the end of this year.\nHowever, the level of support was scaled back from what it was last year. China's economy grew 18.3% in the first quarter, from a contraction last year amid the height of the pandemic.\n\n We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.Ligang LiuCHIEF CHINA ECONOMIST, CITI RESEARCH\n\nSeparately, data out Wednesday showedloan growth slowed more than expected in April, which some economists said reflected credit tightening.\n\"We think monetary conditions have likely tightened, but overall credit policy remains supportive for a more balanced recovery of the real economy, considering the relatively robust medium-term and long-term loan growth,\" said Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance.\n“The sharper-than-expected slowdown in short-term loan issuance in April may also (be) due in part to regulators’ increased scrutiny on the illegal use of business and consumption loans for property financing,” he said.\nRisks in real estate\nReal estate is one of the primary areas of investment — and speculation — in China. In an attempt to keep price gains from getting out of hand, authorities have tried to act cautiously.\nThe People’s Bank of China said in its first quarter monetary policy report that house prices must be kept stable, and emphasized that houses are for living, not speculation.\nAlthough markets appear to believe China will accelerate its exit from policies implemented in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there isn’t a strong case right now for the central bank to do so, Ligang Liu, chief China economist at Citi Research, said in a statement.\n“Financial fragility has increased, represented by the enlarged property bubble, elevated debt level, and enhanced default risk,” Liu said. “We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":741,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198745403,"gmtCreate":1620995609502,"gmtModify":1704351680245,"author":{"id":"3547200895058303","authorId":"3547200895058303","name":"YHHH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8070522a16d3e44938774187cdc9c610","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3547200895058303","authorIdStr":"3547200895058303"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy snowflake?&nbsp;","listText":"Buy snowflake?&nbsp;","text":"Buy snowflake?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/198745403","repostId":"1192552539","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192552539","pubTimestamp":1620993011,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192552539?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 19:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Was The Smart Money Right About Snowflake So Far?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192552539","media":"Insider Monkey","summary":"The latest 13F reporting period has come and gone, and Insider Monkey is again at the forefront when","content":"<p>The latest 13F reporting period has come and gone, and Insider Monkey is again at the forefront when it comes to making use of this gold mine of data.

Trailing Altimeter Capital Management was Berkshire Hathaway, which amassed a stake valued at $1723.7 million. Coatue Management, Tiger Global Management LLC, and D1 Capital Partners were also very fond of the stock, becoming one of the largest hedge fund holders of the company. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Altimeter Capital Management allocated the biggest weight to Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW), around 24.71% of its 13F portfolio.3G Capitalis also relatively very bullish on the stock, setting aside 9.45 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to SNOW.</p><p>Seeing as Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) has witnessed a decline in interest from the aggregate hedge fund industry, it's easy to see that there were a few money managers that decided to sell off their full holdings last quarter. Interestingly, Dmitry Balyasny'sBalyasny Asset Managementsaid goodbye to the biggest stake of all the hedgies monitored by Insider Monkey, totaling close to $47.3 million in stock. Karthik Sarma's fund,SRS Investment Management, also sold off its stock, about $35.1 million worth. These bearish behaviors are interesting, as aggregate hedge fund interest dropped by 5 funds last quarter.</p><p>Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks - not necessarily in the same industry as Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) but similarly valued.

That figure was $7723 million in SNOW's case. Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE:) is the least popular one with only 31 bullish hedge fund positions. Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still below average. Our overall hedge fund sentiment score for SNOW is 45.7. Stocks with higher number of hedge fund positions relative to other stocks as well as relative to their historical range receive a higher sentiment score. This is a slightly negative signal and we'd rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. Our calculations showed thattop 10 most popular stocksamong hedge funds returned 90.7% in 2019 and 2020, and outperformed the S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) by 35 percentage points. These stocks gained 13.6% in 2021 through April 30th and surpassed the market again by 1.6 percentage points. Unfortunately SNOW wasn't nearly as popular as these 10 stocks (hedge fund sentiment was quite bearish); SNOW investors were disappointed as the stock returned -17.7% since the end of December (through 4/30) and underperformed the market.

That’s almost as much as the $30 billion total they disposed of in the second half of 2020.</p>\n<p>Large shareholders frequently sell stock in planned intervals, often through pre-arranged trading programs. Yet the prolonged rally in equities markets has made the value of these disposals, whether planned or opportunistic, strikingly high.</p>\n<p>There are multiple reasons an investor of any size might be motivated to sell. After the pandemic-defying rally, valuations are increasingly under pressure from rising inflation. Investors are wary the post-Covid recovery could prompt tightening measures from the Federal Reserve. And President Joe Biden’s proposed tax hikes -- including a near doubling of the capital gains rate -- have created uncertainty.</p>\n<p><b>Bezos, Ellison</b></p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, the sales are flooding the market with yet more liquidity, the consequences of which will ripple through philanthropy, the art market, real estate and other niches.</p>\n<p>Bezos has sold $6.7 billion worth of Amazon shares this year. While a relative pittance for the world’s richest person, it’s more than two-thirds the value of shares he sold in 2020. Larry Ellison unloaded 7 million Oracle shares in the past week for total proceeds of $552.3 million.</p>\n<p>Brin, who has signaled that he intends to sell as many as 250,000 Alphabet Inc. shares, has disposed of $163 million worth of stock in recent days, his first sales in more than four years, filings show.</p>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg and his charitable foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, meanwhile, accelerated their sales of Facebook stock in the fall. Zuckerberg or his charity has divested shares at a near-daily clip since November, for a cumulative total exceeding $1.87 billion.</p>\n<p>The surging markets have exacerbated the concentration risk of the single-stock-dominated fortunes typical of many tech billionaires, said Thorne Perkin, president of Papamarkou Wellner Asset Management.</p>\n<p>“From a portfolio-management perspective, it makes sense to spread it around,” he said.</p>\n<p><b>Covid Economy</b></p>\n<p>Also among the biggest sellers are some noteworthy beneficiaries of the Covid economy. Zoom Video Communications founder Eric Yuan and used-car retailer Carvana Co.’s Ernest Garcia II have together received more than $1.75 billion from stock sales since March 2020, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. George Kurtz, chief executive officer of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, has sold shares worth at least $250 million over that period.</p>\n<p>Zoom founder Yuan -- the poster child, in many ways, for the coronavirus economy -- has stepped up his sales this year as the firm’s share price slumped. In 2020, he typically offloaded about 140,000 shares a month through a trading plan, which generated more than $350 million over the course of the year.</p>\n<p>Since March, he’s sold almost 200,000 shares a month on average, yielding him about $185 million.

That’s almost as much as the $30 billion total they disposed of in the second half of 2020.\nLarge shareholders frequently sell stock in planned intervals, often through pre-arranged trading programs. Yet the prolonged rally in equities markets has made the value of these disposals, whether planned or opportunistic, strikingly high.\nThere are multiple reasons an investor of any size might be motivated to sell. After the pandemic-defying rally, valuations are increasingly under pressure from rising inflation. Investors are wary the post-Covid recovery could prompt tightening measures from the Federal Reserve. And President Joe Biden’s proposed tax hikes -- including a near doubling of the capital gains rate -- have created uncertainty.\nBezos, Ellison\nWhatever the reason, the sales are flooding the market with yet more liquidity, the consequences of which will ripple through philanthropy, the art market, real estate and other niches.\nBezos has sold $6.7 billion worth of Amazon shares this year. While a relative pittance for the world’s richest person, it’s more than two-thirds the value of shares he sold in 2020. Larry Ellison unloaded 7 million Oracle shares in the past week for total proceeds of $552.3 million.\nBrin, who has signaled that he intends to sell as many as 250,000 Alphabet Inc. shares, has disposed of $163 million worth of stock in recent days, his first sales in more than four years, filings show.\nMark Zuckerberg and his charitable foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, meanwhile, accelerated their sales of Facebook stock in the fall. Zuckerberg or his charity has divested shares at a near-daily clip since November, for a cumulative total exceeding $1.87 billion.\nThe surging markets have exacerbated the concentration risk of the single-stock-dominated fortunes typical of many tech billionaires, said Thorne Perkin, president of Papamarkou Wellner Asset Management.\n“From a portfolio-management perspective, it makes sense to spread it around,” he said.\nCovid Economy\nAlso among the biggest sellers are some noteworthy beneficiaries of the Covid economy. Zoom Video Communications founder Eric Yuan and used-car retailer Carvana Co.’s Ernest Garcia II have together received more than $1.75 billion from stock sales since March 2020, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. George Kurtz, chief executive officer of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, has sold shares worth at least $250 million over that period.\nZoom founder Yuan -- the poster child, in many ways, for the coronavirus economy -- has stepped up his sales this year as the firm’s share price slumped. In 2020, he typically offloaded about 140,000 shares a month through a trading plan, which generated more than $350 million over the course of the year.\nSince March, he’s sold almost 200,000 shares a month on average, yielding him about $185 million. He also donated more than a third of his stake in the San Jose-based company as part of “typical estate planning practices,” according to a spokesman. Some of the cash from his share sales fund donations to unspecified “humanitarian causes.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":684,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377900538,"gmtCreate":1619487053624,"gmtModify":1704724732973,"author":{"id":"3547200895058303","authorId":"3547200895058303","name":"YHHH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8070522a16d3e44938774187cdc9c610","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3547200895058303","authorIdStr":"3547200895058303"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment like please","listText":"Comment like please","text":"Comment like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377900538","repostId":"1190086074","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190086074","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619480390,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190086074?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-27 07:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla posts record net income of $438 million, revenue surges by 74%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190086074","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla reported record net income of $438 million during the quarter, as well as earnings of 93 cents per share on $10.39 billion in revenue.In its earnings release, the company said it has weathered chip shortages that have plagued the auto industry in part by “pivoting extremely quickly to new microcontrollers, while simultaneously developing firmware for new chips made by new suppliers.”On an earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the delayed new version of the company’s Model S sedan will be deliv","content":"<p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Tesla reported record net income of $438 million during the quarter, as well as earnings of 93 cents per share on $10.39 billion in revenue.</li><li>In its earnings release, the company said it has weathered chip shortages that have plagued the auto industry in part by “pivoting extremely quickly to new microcontrollers, while simultaneously developing firmware for new chips made by new suppliers.”</li><li>On an earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the delayed new version of the company’s Model S sedan will be delivered starting in May 2021, and Model X deliveries will begin in the third quarter of the year.</li></ul><p>Tesla&nbsp;reported first-quarter results after the bell on Monday.

He did not elaborate.Tesla is now aiming to produce 2,000 Model S and X vehicles per week later this year.The company said Monday it expects more than 50% vehicle delivery growth in 2021 overall, which implies minimum deliveries around 750,000 vehicles this year.The fact Tesla grew vehicle unit sales by more than 100% year over year but grew service centers by only 28% and its mobile service fleet by only 22% explains why some Tesla customers face frustratingly long wait times for repairs. Service expansion is not keeping pace with the volume of vehicles sold.Tesla said it has weathered chip shortages that have plagued the auto industry in part by “pivoting extremely quickly to new microcontrollers, while simultaneously developing firmware for new chips made by new suppliers.” It did not disclose the names of its new suppliers.It also reiterated Musk’s frequent claim that cameras, not radar, are a better path toward autonomous vehicles. “Our AI-based software architecture has been increasingly reliant on cameras, to the point where radar is becoming unnecessary earlier than expected. As a result, our FSD [Full Self-Driving] team is fully focused on evolving to a vision-based autonomous system and we are nearly ready to switch the US market to Tesla Vision,” the company said in its earnings release.Revenue for its energy generation and storage business nearly doubled for Tesla versus the same period in 2020, when Musk said Covid, then an emerging pandemic, had slowed its energy business to a crawl. But energy revenue declined from $787 million in the fourth quarter to $595 million in the first quarter of 2021.Recently, Tesla increased prices for its solar rooftops by 50%, and now requires anyone ordering solar photovoltaics (including Tesla solar roof tiles) to also order the Powerwall, Tesla’s home energy storage system. The sudden price change applied retroactively to some vexed customers.Musk said on the Q1 2021 call that he is aiming for homes with solar rooftops and batteries from Tesla to function as a “giant distributed utility” that can help incumbent electrical utilities supply customers with all the electricity they need as demand and extreme weather events increase.Executives did not say how they would change their production or mix of battery cells from suppliers in order to make a higher volume of vehicles and energy storage products in 2021.Musk said the company’s 4680 cells, which it developed independently and makes at a pilot plant in Fremont, California, are not yet reliable enough to be shipped in Tesla vehicles. He said Tesla would probably “achieve volume production” of these cells in 12 to 18 months.The company revealed in February it purchased $1.5 billion in bitcoin and would potentially invest in other cryptocurrencies in the future. By April, bitcoin rose to record levels before pulling back. In its statement of cash flows, Tesla revealed that it had sold $272 million worth of “digital assets,” presumably bitcoin, during the quarter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":987,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575927670533252","authorId":"3575927670533252","name":"schsch","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575927670533252","authorIdStr":"3575927670533252"},"content":"OK do the same [Miser]","text":"OK do the same [Miser]","html":"OK do the same [Miser]"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":377900538,"gmtCreate":1619487053624,"gmtModify":1704724732973,"author":{"id":"3547200895058303","authorId":"3547200895058303","name":"YHHH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8070522a16d3e44938774187cdc9c610","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3547200895058303","authorIdStr":"3547200895058303"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment like please","listText":"Comment like please","text":"Comment like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377900538","repostId":"1190086074","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190086074","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619480390,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190086074?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-27 07:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla posts record net income of $438 million, revenue surges by 74%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190086074","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla reported record net income of $438 million during the quarter, as well as earnings of 93 cents per share on $10.39 billion in revenue.In its earnings release, the company said it has weathered chip shortages that have plagued the auto industry in part by “pivoting extremely quickly to new microcontrollers, while simultaneously developing firmware for new chips made by new suppliers.”On an earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the delayed new version of the company’s Model S sedan will be deliv","content":"<p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Tesla reported record net income of $438 million during the quarter, as well as earnings of 93 cents per share on $10.39 billion in revenue.</li><li>In its earnings release, the company said it has weathered chip shortages that have plagued the auto industry in part by “pivoting extremely quickly to new microcontrollers, while simultaneously developing firmware for new chips made by new suppliers.”</li><li>On an earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the delayed new version of the company’s Model S sedan will be delivered starting in May 2021, and Model X deliveries will begin in the third quarter of the year.</li></ul><p>Tesla&nbsp;reported first-quarter results after the bell on Monday.

The combination of technological innovation, competitive advantages, acquisitions, and other tangible and intangible factors has a tendency to shake-up the world's largest companies on a regular basis.</p><p>For example, in 2004, <b>General Electric</b>, <b>ExxonMobil</b>, <b>Pfizer</b>, <b>Citigroup</b>, <b>Walmart</b>, <b>BP</b>, <b>AIG</b>, <b>Intel</b>, and <b>Bank of America</b> were nine of the 10 largest publicly traded companies by market cap. None are still in the top 10 just 17 years later. In fact, AIG isn't even in the top 250 anymore.</p><p>What might the top 10 look like in 2035? Frankly, we don't know. But given a number of proliferating high-growth trends, it won't stop me from making a prediction.

Amazon currently controls more than 40% of all online sales in the U.S., and it's signed up 200 million people to Prime worldwide. The fees it collects from Prime memberships help to ensure it can undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price.</p><p>As for AWS, it grew sales by 30% in 2020 (i.e., during the worst economic downturn in decades). AWS has a current run-rate of $54 billion in annual sales, meaning it alone could fetch a valuation north of $600 billion and still be valued cheaply within the cloud space. Because AWS generates considerably higher margins than retail, it's Amazon's key to a cash flow explosion in the years to come.<img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fcloud-computing-data-server-storage-email-blockchain-saas-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Microsoft</h2><p>Despite a myriad of change since 1999, tech stock <b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the only company to remain in the top 10 by market cap in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and currently. Thus, it's a safe bet to suggest it'll hang onto a top-10 spot over the coming 14 years.</p><p>Although Microsoft is still generating plenty of cash flow from its legacy software and Windows operating system, the cloud is its future. Cloud infrastructure service Azure, along with enterprise and consumer cloud products across all of its core brands (Office, Dynamics, and Windows), can fuel sustainable double-digit or high single-digit growth for a long time to come.</p><p>Plus, Microsoft is loaded with cash, meaning it can use acquisitions as a means to boost its growth prospects and remain competitive.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Faapl-iphone-xr.PNG&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"463\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Apple.</p><h2>Apple</h2><p>Speaking of cash cows, I believe <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) remains safely in the top 10, even if its growth rate were to taper a bit. Keep in mind that Apple generated nearly $100 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, which means the company has an abundant cash pile to buy back its stock, pay dividends, reinvest in innovation, and make the occasional acquisition to bolster its product portfolio.</p><p>In the years to come, Tim Cook will continue to oversee Apple's transition to a services company. Subscription services boast higher margins than most products Apple sells, and will help reduce the revenue lumpiness associated with tech replacement cycles.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fstudents-surfing-the-internet-studying-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h2><p>The social media space has proved especially fickle over the past 15 years, so there's certainly the risk <b>Facebook</b> (NASDAQ:FB) won't be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the 10 largest companies by 2035. It could also be broken up by regulators, which would potentially remove it from consideration.</p><p>However, I chose to keep Facebook in the top 10 for two simple reasons. First, it had 44% of the world's population visit one of its owned assets in the first quarter. This makes it unlikely that any social media company will unseat it in the eyes of advertisers anytime soon.</p><p>Second, Facebook has only monetized two of its four prized assets (its namesake site and Instagram). When it decides to meaningfully monetize WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, it'll enjoy a massive multiyear growth spurt.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Flaptop-internet-search-smartphone-work-from-home-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Alphabet</h2><p>As with Facebook, ad-driven operating models come with risks.

Eventually, Cloud is going to do for Alphabet what AWS has done (and will continue to do) for Amazon.</p><p>Meanwhile, Alphabet's core business -- its Google internet search engine -- should benefit from long periods of economic expansion and the company's insane global share of internet search, which has ranged from 91% to 93% for two years.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628448%2Fairbnb1.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Airbnb.</p><h2>Airbnb</h2><p>Perhaps the first big surprise is that I expect stay-and-hosting company <b>Airbnb</b> (NASDAQ:ABNB) to work its way into the top 10.

The combination of technological innovation, competitive advantages, acquisitions, and other tangible and intangible factors has a tendency to shake-up the world's largest companies on a regular basis.For example, in 2004, General Electric, ExxonMobil, Pfizer, Citigroup, Walmart, BP, AIG, Intel, and Bank of America were nine of the 10 largest publicly traded companies by market cap. None are still in the top 10 just 17 years later. In fact, AIG isn't even in the top 250 anymore.What might the top 10 look like in 2035? Frankly, we don't know. But given a number of proliferating high-growth trends, it won't stop me from making a prediction. In 14 years, these are likely to be the world's 10 largest publicly traded companies, presented in no particular order.Image source: Getty Images.AmazonUnless e-commerce giant Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) decides to spin off its leading cloud infrastructure segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), I consider it to have the best chance of being the largest company by market cap in 2035. Amazon currently controls more than 40% of all online sales in the U.S., and it's signed up 200 million people to Prime worldwide. The fees it collects from Prime memberships help to ensure it can undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price.As for AWS, it grew sales by 30% in 2020 (i.e., during the worst economic downturn in decades). AWS has a current run-rate of $54 billion in annual sales, meaning it alone could fetch a valuation north of $600 billion and still be valued cheaply within the cloud space. Because AWS generates considerably higher margins than retail, it's Amazon's key to a cash flow explosion in the years to come.Image source: Getty Images.MicrosoftDespite a myriad of change since 1999, tech stock Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the only company to remain in the top 10 by market cap in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and currently. Thus, it's a safe bet to suggest it'll hang onto a top-10 spot over the coming 14 years.Although Microsoft is still generating plenty of cash flow from its legacy software and Windows operating system, the cloud is its future. Cloud infrastructure service Azure, along with enterprise and consumer cloud products across all of its core brands (Office, Dynamics, and Windows), can fuel sustainable double-digit or high single-digit growth for a long time to come.Plus, Microsoft is loaded with cash, meaning it can use acquisitions as a means to boost its growth prospects and remain competitive.Image source: Apple.AppleSpeaking of cash cows, I believe Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) remains safely in the top 10, even if its growth rate were to taper a bit. Keep in mind that Apple generated nearly $100 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, which means the company has an abundant cash pile to buy back its stock, pay dividends, reinvest in innovation, and make the occasional acquisition to bolster its product portfolio.In the years to come, Tim Cook will continue to oversee Apple's transition to a services company. Subscription services boast higher margins than most products Apple sells, and will help reduce the revenue lumpiness associated with tech replacement cycles.Image source: Getty Images.FacebookThe social media space has proved especially fickle over the past 15 years, so there's certainly the risk Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) won't be one of the 10 largest companies by 2035. It could also be broken up by regulators, which would potentially remove it from consideration.However, I chose to keep Facebook in the top 10 for two simple reasons. First, it had 44% of the world's population visit one of its owned assets in the first quarter. This makes it unlikely that any social media company will unseat it in the eyes of advertisers anytime soon.Second, Facebook has only monetized two of its four prized assets (its namesake site and Instagram). When it decides to meaningfully monetize WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, it'll enjoy a massive multiyear growth spurt.Image source: Getty Images.AlphabetAs with Facebook, ad-driven operating models come with risks. Thankfully, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) has ancillary operations and history on its side.In terms of ancillary businesses, streaming content provider YouTube has grown into a top-three social media destination, and cloud infrastructure service Google Cloud now has an annual run-rate of more than $16 billion. Eventually, Cloud is going to do for Alphabet what AWS has done (and will continue to do) for Amazon.Meanwhile, Alphabet's core business -- its Google internet search engine -- should benefit from long periods of economic expansion and the company's insane global share of internet search, which has ranged from 91% to 93% for two years.Image source: Airbnb.AirbnbPerhaps the first big surprise is that I expect stay-and-hosting company Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) to work its way into the top 10. That's because Airbnb is disrupting both the hotel stay side of the industry as well as the travel side of the equation.At the moment, Airbnb has 4 million hosts worldwide. This is just a fraction of what the platform is capable of handling given the more than 130 million residences in the U.S. and around 1 billion residences worldwide.Airbnb has also been pushing its Experiences platform -- i.e., adventures led by local experts. Nothing can stop Airbnb from entrenching itself further in vacation experiences. We're witnessing the early innings of true leisure industry disruption.Image source: Square.SquareFintech stock Square (NYSE:SQ) also has a very real opportunity to surpass PayPal over the next 14 years and work its way into the top 10.Although Square should see steady growth from its seller ecosystem, the company's primary driver will be peer-to-peer digital payments platform Cash App. In three years, Cash App's monthly active user count has more than quintupled to 36 million. It's been a more popular download than PayPal's Venmo, and Square has been generating $41 in gross profit per user, compared to less than $5 in acquisition costs per user.Square also completed the charter process to operate its own bank in March. This gives the company a full gamut of financial services it can offer in the high-margin digital banking space.Image source: Getty Images.VisaAs of May 25, payment processing giant Visa (NYSE:V) was clinging the No. 10 spot with a $487 billion market cap, $3 billion ahead of JPMorgan Chase.

The PBOC added that smaller, privately run businesses still face difficulties, and ensuring employment remains a great challenge.\nThe report talked at length about an increase in inflation globally, and forecast China's producer prices would rise later this year as commodity prices climb worldwide. The central bank also noted that rising inflation in major economies has increased the pressure of currency depreciation and capital flows for some emerging economies.\nData out this week showedU.S. consumer prices posted their fastest increase since September 2008,at 4.2% in April. Meanwhile,producer prices rose 6.2%in their fastest increase in the index's roughly one-decade history.\nThe S&P 500 has fallen more than 2% so far this week, while the10-year Treasurybrieflyhit a one-month highof nearly 1.69%.It's not clear if the latest rise in U.S. inflation will be a negative for stocks in the long term.\nChina keeps rates steady\nThe Chinese 10-year government bond yield has held above 3.1%, while the Shanghai composite has climbed 2% this week.China said Tuesday its producer prices rose in Aprilby their fastest in more than three years — up 6.8%. But consumer prices edged up just 0.9% as pork prices fell.\n\"If we have prices rising in China, it's not demand overheating domestically, which could warrant change of monetary policy to slow that,\" said Francoise Huang, senior economist at Euler Hermes, a subsidiary of Allianz, in a phone interview Wednesday. \"I continue to think the policy rates will not be changed this year.\"\nThe Chinese central bank has kept its benchmark lending rate, theloan prime rate, unchanged for a year.The next monthly announcement on the rate is due May 20.\nIn its quarterly report this week, the central bank added that \"prudent\" monetary policy would be flexible, targeted and appropriate.\nHigh employment pressure\nZong Liang, chief researcher at the Bank of China, doesn't expect China's monetary policy to change until the second half of the year, at the earliest. He noted the central bank kept policy relatively tighter in the last two years versus that of other countries.\nAlthough he expects Chinese consumers will pick up their spending in the second quarter, especially as China steps up local vaccinations, consumption is still in a period of recovery, Zong said.\nIn a sign of Beijing's caution on the economy, authorities said at a meeting Wednesday that pressure to support employment remains high. The central government decided at the meeting to extend pandemic-erasupport for unemployment until the end of this year.\nHowever, the level of support was scaled back from what it was last year. China's economy grew 18.3% in the first quarter, from a contraction last year amid the height of the pandemic.\n\n We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.Ligang LiuCHIEF CHINA ECONOMIST, CITI RESEARCH\n\nSeparately, data out Wednesday showedloan growth slowed more than expected in April, which some economists said reflected credit tightening.\n\"We think monetary conditions have likely tightened, but overall credit policy remains supportive for a more balanced recovery of the real economy, considering the relatively robust medium-term and long-term loan growth,\" said Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance.\n“The sharper-than-expected slowdown in short-term loan issuance in April may also (be) due in part to regulators’ increased scrutiny on the illegal use of business and consumption loans for property financing,” he said.\nRisks in real estate\nReal estate is one of the primary areas of investment — and speculation — in China. In an attempt to keep price gains from getting out of hand, authorities have tried to act cautiously.\nThe People’s Bank of China said in its first quarter monetary policy report that house prices must be kept stable, and emphasized that houses are for living, not speculation.\nAlthough markets appear to believe China will accelerate its exit from policies implemented in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there isn’t a strong case right now for the central bank to do so, Ligang Liu, chief China economist at Citi Research, said in a statement.\n“Financial fragility has increased, represented by the enlarged property bubble, elevated debt level, and enhanced default risk,” Liu said. “We think a hasty withdrawal of stimulus policies will also bring about new financial risks.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":741,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198746441,"gmtCreate":1620995502483,"gmtModify":1704351677822,"author":{"id":"3547200895058303","authorId":"3547200895058303","name":"YHHH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8070522a16d3e44938774187cdc9c610","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3547200895058303","authorIdStr":"3547200895058303"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/APPN\">$Appian Corp(APPN)$</a>sad","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/APPN\">$Appian Corp(APPN)$</a>sad","text":"$Appian Corp(APPN)$sad","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24fca81bc3252bfb1a9e3567d72c4308","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/198746441","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":452,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110859403,"gmtCreate":1622441762702,"gmtModify":1704184481369,"author":{"id":"3547200895058303","authorId":"3547200895058303","name":"YHHH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8070522a16d3e44938774187cdc9c610","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3547200895058303","authorIdStr":"3547200895058303"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Salesforce is good!&nbsp;","listText":"Salesforce is good!&nbsp;","text":"Salesforce is good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110859403","repostId":"2139872224","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2139872224","pubTimestamp":1622432494,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2139872224?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Dogecoin Bubble Will Burst: 3 Smart Stocks to Buy Instead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2139872224","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Unlike Dogecoin, these stocks have real substance behind their growth and long-term outlooks.","content":"<p>Historically speaking, patience pays. While certain asset classes, such as gold, oil, and housing, have had their time in the spotlight, investing in stocks over the long-term has produced the best results by a longshot. Even taking into account Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus crash, the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has delivered an average annual total return (including dividends) of 11% since 1980.</p>\n<p>But these returns have been peanuts compared to the short-term gains from the vast majority of cryptocurrencies.

The at-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time 27,000% gain from Dogecoin in six months bested the return of the S&amp;P 500, including dividends paid, over the previous 56 years.</p>\n<p>But although Dogecoin has delivered jaw-dropping gains, the truth is that it's been driven by hype, ignorance to facts, and misinformation. In other words, it's a bubble in the making.</p>\n<p>For example, Dogecoin enthusiasts often point to its increased utility and low transaction fees as reasons why its adoption is inevitable. But if you really research the crypto space, you'll discover that this optimism tells over a sliver of the story. Dogecoin may have lower transaction fees than <b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;and <b>Ethereum</b>, but its fees are also markedly higher than <b>Stellar</b>, <b>Nano</b>, <b>Ripple</b>, <b>Dash</b>, <b>Ethereum Classic</b>, <b>Bitcoin SV</b>, and a host of other coins. Dogecoin supporters frequently leave this part out.</p>\n<p>It's also not very useful beyond cryptocurrency exchanges. It's taken eight years for a measly 1,300 businesses to accept Dogecoin as a form of payment. All told, 50,000 transactions take place on Dogecoin's blockchain daily. This doesn't even more the needle next to payment kingpins <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b>&nbsp;and <b>Mastercard</b>, which combine to process 700 million transactions each day.</p>\n<p>Dogecoin is also being swung violently by baseless tweets from <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk. A \"decentralized future currency\" shouldn't swing by a double-digit percentage just because Elon Musk posts a meme.</p>\n<p>This is a bubble, and history is clear that it's going to burst.</p>\n<h2>Ditch Dogecoin for these superior stocks</h2>\n<p>Instead of putting your money to work in what looks to be a seriously flawed asset, consider buying the following trio of smart stocks.

While certain asset classes, such as gold, oil, and housing, have had their time in the spotlight, investing in stocks over the long-term has produced the best results by a longshot. Even taking into account Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus crash, the broad-based S&P 500 has delivered an average annual total return (including dividends) of 11% since 1980.\nBut these returns have been peanuts compared to the short-term gains from the vast majority of cryptocurrencies. Retail investors have been especially enamored with the so-called \"people's currency,\" Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE).\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nDogecoin has been driven by hype, ignorance, and misinformation\nEarlier this month, Dogecoin rallied to $0.73 per coin, which may not nominally sound like a lot, but is huge considering this was at a quarter of one penny ($0.0025) about six months ago. The at-one-time 27,000% gain from Dogecoin in six months bested the return of the S&P 500, including dividends paid, over the previous 56 years.\nBut although Dogecoin has delivered jaw-dropping gains, the truth is that it's been driven by hype, ignorance to facts, and misinformation. In other words, it's a bubble in the making.\nFor example, Dogecoin enthusiasts often point to its increased utility and low transaction fees as reasons why its adoption is inevitable. But if you really research the crypto space, you'll discover that this optimism tells over a sliver of the story. Dogecoin may have lower transaction fees than Bitcoin and Ethereum, but its fees are also markedly higher than Stellar, Nano, Ripple, Dash, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin SV, and a host of other coins. Dogecoin supporters frequently leave this part out.\nIt's also not very useful beyond cryptocurrency exchanges. It's taken eight years for a measly 1,300 businesses to accept Dogecoin as a form of payment. All told, 50,000 transactions take place on Dogecoin's blockchain daily. This doesn't even more the needle next to payment kingpins Visa and Mastercard, which combine to process 700 million transactions each day.\nDogecoin is also being swung violently by baseless tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. A \"decentralized future currency\" shouldn't swing by a double-digit percentage just because Elon Musk posts a meme.\nThis is a bubble, and history is clear that it's going to burst.\nDitch Dogecoin for these superior stocks\nInstead of putting your money to work in what looks to be a seriously flawed asset, consider buying the following trio of smart stocks. These are companies with tangible long-term prospects and real growth that can build wealth over time for patient investors.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeladoc Health\nFirst up is fast-paced telemedicine giant Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC), which has retraced more than 50% from its February highs and looks ripe for the picking.\nAs you can probably imagine, Teladoc was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the coronavirus pandemic.

We have processed the filings of the more than 887 world-class investment firms that we track and now have access to the collective wisdom contained in these filings, which are based on their December 31st holdings, data that is available nowhere else. Should you consider Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) for your portfolio? We'll look to this invaluable collective wisdom for the answer.</p><p>Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) was in 54 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of December. The all time high for this statistic is 59. SNOW investors should be aware of a decrease in activity from the world's largest hedge funds lately. There were 59 hedge funds in our database with SNOW positions at the end of the third quarter. Our calculations also showed that SNOW isn't among the30 most popular stocks among hedge funds</p><p>In the financial world there are a lot of gauges shareholders can use to value stocks. A pair of the best gauges are hedge fund and insider trading sentiment.

By comparison, 0 hedge funds held shares or bullish call options in SNOW a year ago. So, let's review which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4400031cb0ca8ff68d9411bb5919278e\" tg-width=\"680\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>More specifically,Altimeter Capital Managementwas the largest shareholder of Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW), with a stake worth $2670.9 million reported as of the end of December. Trailing Altimeter Capital Management was Berkshire Hathaway, which amassed a stake valued at $1723.7 million. Coatue Management, Tiger Global Management LLC, and D1 Capital Partners were also very fond of the stock, becoming one of the largest hedge fund holders of the company. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Altimeter Capital Management allocated the biggest weight to Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW), around 24.71% of its 13F portfolio.3G Capitalis also relatively very bullish on the stock, setting aside 9.45 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to SNOW.</p><p>Seeing as Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) has witnessed a decline in interest from the aggregate hedge fund industry, it's easy to see that there were a few money managers that decided to sell off their full holdings last quarter. Interestingly, Dmitry Balyasny'sBalyasny Asset Managementsaid goodbye to the biggest stake of all the hedgies monitored by Insider Monkey, totaling close to $47.3 million in stock. Karthik Sarma's fund,SRS Investment Management, also sold off its stock, about $35.1 million worth. These bearish behaviors are interesting, as aggregate hedge fund interest dropped by 5 funds last quarter.</p><p>Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks - not necessarily in the same industry as Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) but similarly valued. We will take a look at S&amp;P Global Inc. (NYSE:SPGI), Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), Zoetis Inc (NYSE:ZTS), Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE:CNI), Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO), Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV), and NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO).

That figure was $7723 million in SNOW's case. Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Canadian National Railway Company (NYSE:) is the least popular one with only 31 bullish hedge fund positions. Snowflake Inc (NYSE:SNOW) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still below average. Our overall hedge fund sentiment score for SNOW is 45.7. Stocks with higher number of hedge fund positions relative to other stocks as well as relative to their historical range receive a higher sentiment score. This is a slightly negative signal and we'd rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. Our calculations showed thattop 10 most popular stocksamong hedge funds returned 90.7% in 2019 and 2020, and outperformed the S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) by 35 percentage points.
