To be fair, I also sold some Apple shares in June, at lower prices. But the premise of the article was Apple Inc. at $500 a share was just too rich. The underlying fundamentals didn't support it. So I pulled the plug on a position first opened in 2010. The stock was held in a tax-deferred account.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I took the AAPL proceeds and doubled my position in Alphabet.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80dea63522140afe3123212127a06309\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>I purchased shares between the middle of August and the first few days of October. The average bid price on the incremental position was $1503.</p>\n<p><b>Subsequent Price Action</b></p>\n<p>Now I will be the first to tell you six months doesn't prove a thesis definitively. As an investor (versus a trader or speculator), I generally hold a stock for at least 18 months. Through experience, I've found this to be the minimum amount of time I like to hold a stock in order to give an original investment thesis the \"chance to be right.” Exceptions are cases whereby the original investment thesis is busted. If that happens, I don't wait and hope for things to change. I get out. Alternatively, if a stock runs up much too far, too fast, I may also exit a position early.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the six-month return delta between AAPL and GOOGL is so stark it seems a reasonable call out.</p>\n<p>Since I sold the balance of my AAPL stock, the price improved from split-adjusted $124.99 to $135.40. That's an 8.3% increase in six months. Including two dividend payments, the total return would have been 8.6 percent. That's not bad.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, GOOGL shares moved from $1503 (my aggregate purchase price) to $2095.<b>That's a 39% gain.</b></p>\n<p>The upshot isn't to point out making a good six-month call. It's to evaluate the decision-making process behind the call, then plot a path forward.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Shares Were Dear And Remain Dear</b></p>\n<p>In August 2020, my contention was AAPL prices got way ahead of the fundamentals.</p>\n<p>At the time, fiscal year 3Q 2020 (period ending June 30) corporate cash flow was up sharply. Apple Services revenue and margins were advancing nicely, but Apple Products margins were sagging. The Street forecast $15.02 ($3.76 split-adjusted) EPS for 2020 fiscal year, and $18.09 ($4.52 split-adjusted) operating cash flow per share.</p>\n<p>Shares were trading at over 35x earnings, and 26x cash flow.</p>\n<p>Now, with the benefit of two additional quarters behind us, we find the full-year EPS came in at $3.26 and cash flow at $4.60 per share: earnings results were light, and cash flow recorded a modest beat.</p>\n<p>Adding in an additional set of quarterly results (for the period ending 12/31/20), shares now trade at 37x trailing earnings, and 27x cash flow.</p>\n<p>The long-term P/E and P/OCF multiples have been ~16x and 12x, respectively.</p>\n<p>Therefore, while registering an 8.6% total return since mid-August, AAPL shares now appear even MORE overvalued than before.</p>\n<p>Two F.A.S.T. Graphs illustrate the foregoing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13c306c732836423e10bfbb5506e6fa9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"421\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/56f9f7cb3aded328606c6f289f6cddc9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"407\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>For a good growth stock, it's customary to look at forward EPS. Based upon current Street estimates, Apple Inc. is trading at 30x this years' EPS, and 25x cash flow. These multiples are still far above the long-term average.</p>\n<p>Note I selected charts whereby the actual long-term growth rates approximate the current expected two-year forward growth rates.</p>\n<p><b>Alphabet Stock Is No Longer A Bargain</b></p>\n<p>Meanwhile, back in August 2020, analysts were setting up Alphabet investors for an off year. The COVID-related economic slowdown certainly affected the business: primarily Google advertising revenue.</p>\n<p>Alphabet met or exceeded 2Q and first-half 2020 numbers; however, revenue, margins, and operating income were contracting.</p>\n<p>Back in August, analysts called for full-year (ending December 31) EPS and cash flow per share to be $44.61 and $78.02, respectively. The Street expected declining year-over-year figures.</p>\n<p>GOOGL shares were trading at 33x EPS, and under 20x operating cash flow. The long-term trimmed averages were 28x and 22x.

To be fair, I also sold some Apple shares in June, at lower prices. But the premise of the article was Apple Inc. at $500 a share was just too rich. The underlying fundamentals didn't support it. So I pulled the plug on a position first opened in 2010. The stock was held in a tax-deferred account.\nMeanwhile, I took the AAPL proceeds and doubled my position in Alphabet.\n\nI purchased shares between the middle of August and the first few days of October. The average bid price on the incremental position was $1503.\nSubsequent Price Action\nNow I will be the first to tell you six months doesn't prove a thesis definitively. As an investor (versus a trader or speculator), I generally hold a stock for at least 18 months. Through experience, I've found this to be the minimum amount of time I like to hold a stock in order to give an original investment thesis the \"chance to be right.” Exceptions are cases whereby the original investment thesis is busted. If that happens, I don't wait and hope for things to change. I get out. Alternatively, if a stock runs up much too far, too fast, I may also exit a position early.\nNonetheless, the six-month return delta between AAPL and GOOGL is so stark it seems a reasonable call out.\nSince I sold the balance of my AAPL stock, the price improved from split-adjusted $124.99 to $135.40. That's an 8.3% increase in six months. Including two dividend payments, the total return would have been 8.6 percent. That's not bad.\nOn the other hand, GOOGL shares moved from $1503 (my aggregate purchase price) to $2095.That's a 39% gain.\nThe upshot isn't to point out making a good six-month call. It's to evaluate the decision-making process behind the call, then plot a path forward.\nApple Shares Were Dear And Remain Dear\nIn August 2020, my contention was AAPL prices got way ahead of the fundamentals.\nAt the time, fiscal year 3Q 2020 (period ending June 30) corporate cash flow was up sharply. Apple Services revenue and margins were advancing nicely, but Apple Products margins were sagging. The Street forecast $15.02 ($3.76 split-adjusted) EPS for 2020 fiscal year, and $18.09 ($4.52 split-adjusted) operating cash flow per share.\nShares were trading at over 35x earnings, and 26x cash flow.\nNow, with the benefit of two additional quarters behind us, we find the full-year EPS came in at $3.26 and cash flow at $4.60 per share: earnings results were light, and cash flow recorded a modest beat.\nAdding in an additional set of quarterly results (for the period ending 12/31/20), shares now trade at 37x trailing earnings, and 27x cash flow.\nThe long-term P/E and P/OCF multiples have been ~16x and 12x, respectively.\nTherefore, while registering an 8.6% total return since mid-August, AAPL shares now appear even MORE overvalued than before.\nTwo F.A.S.T. Graphs illustrate the foregoing:\n\nFor a good growth stock, it's customary to look at forward EPS. Based upon current Street estimates, Apple Inc. is trading at 30x this years' EPS, and 25x cash flow. These multiples are still far above the long-term average.\nNote I selected charts whereby the actual long-term growth rates approximate the current expected two-year forward growth rates.\nAlphabet Stock Is No Longer A Bargain\nMeanwhile, back in August 2020, analysts were setting up Alphabet investors for an off year. The COVID-related economic slowdown certainly affected the business: primarily Google advertising revenue.\nAlphabet met or exceeded 2Q and first-half 2020 numbers; however, revenue, margins, and operating income were contracting.\nBack in August, analysts called for full-year (ending December 31) EPS and cash flow per share to be $44.61 and $78.02, respectively. The Street expected declining year-over-year figures.\nGOOGL shares were trading at 33x EPS, and under 20x operating cash flow. The long-term trimmed averages were 28x and 22x. The earnings multiple indicated approximate Fair Value, while the shares were inexpensive on cash flow.\nSo what happened?\nIndeed, Alphabet's numbers rebounded faster than expected. The Street underestimated the snap-back.\nBut the real story was valuation.\nGOOGL posted full-year EPS and cash flow per share figures of $58.61 and $88.82, thereby stomping Street consensus.\nCurrently, Alphabet shares now trade at 36x trailing earnings and 24x cash flow.\nLong-term P/E and P/OCF multiples are 26x and 19x, respectively.\nAnother pair of F.A.S.T. Graphs paint the picture:\n\n\nOn a forward basis, GOOGL is trading at 30x EPS and 18x operating cash flow.\nIndeed, after the big run-up, Alphabet stock has gone from fairly valued / inexpensive to fairly valued / moderately overvalued.\nSumming It Up\nHere's a recap summary table comparing Apple and Alphabet valuation metrics today versus August 2020:\nApple versus Alphabet Valuation Summary\n\n\n\nApple (Feb '21)\nApple (August '20)\nAlphabet (Feb '21)\nAlphabet (August '20)\n\n\nBlended P/E\n36.5x\n35.6x\n35.0x\n32.8x\n\n\nHistorical P/E*\n16x\n15x\n26x\n28x\n\n\nBlended P/OCF\n28x\n25.9x\n22.8x\n19.6x\n\n\nHistorical P/OCF*\n12x\n11x\n19x\n22x\n\n\nProjected EPS growth FY 2021\n35%\n19%\n19%\n27%\n\n\nProjected EPS growth FY 2022\n5%\n7%\n15%\n21%\n\n\nProjected OCF growth FY 2021\n19%\n8%\n27%\n21%\n\n\nProjected OCF FY 2022\n2%\n1%\n17%\n20%\n\n\n\nAAPL stock was heavily overvalued in August 2020. Based upon trailing twelve-month multiples, the shares remain overvalued today. Looking ahead, the most recent 2021 earnings and cash flow growth forecasts have risen significantly, while 2022 estimates remained about the same. On a forward basis, AAPL stock trades at 30x EPS and 25x cash flow. That's still far above historical averages.\nGOOGL stock was undervalued on cash flow in August 2020. It's a mixed bag now; Alphabet isn't in the bargain bin. Based upon TTM multiples, shares are trading above Fair Value today. Looking ahead, 2021 and 2022 EPS estimates have fallen since August. The 2021 cash flow forecast is higher, and the 2022 forecast is a bit lower.

Based upon 2021 estimates, GOOGL stock is trading at 30x earnings and 18x operating cash flow. That's a little high on EPS, and about on par for OCF.\nWhat's actionable now?\nInvestors make forward decisions upon where a company's earnings and cash flow are going; not where they've been.

This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.</p>\n<p>For the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “<i>living from paycheck to paycheck</i>”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.\nFor the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “living from paycheck to paycheck”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":388360247,"gmtCreate":1613023956189,"gmtModify":1704877485744,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/388360247","repostId":"2110044852","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":388360853,"gmtCreate":1613023927572,"gmtModify":1704877485583,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/388360853","repostId":"2110044852","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381109714,"gmtCreate":1612939936238,"gmtModify":1704876244977,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi hi hi","listText":"Hi hi hi","text":"Hi hi hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/381109714","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":383860125,"gmtCreate":1612864434567,"gmtModify":1704875103559,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold the line","listText":"Hold the line","text":"Hold the line","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/383860125","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":43,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":382389551,"gmtCreate":1613363290573,"gmtModify":1704880086519,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Boring monday","listText":"Boring monday","text":"Boring monday","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/382389551","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":388541601,"gmtCreate":1613065956803,"gmtModify":1704878167090,"author":{"id":"3557275636539929","authorId":"3557275636539929","name":"Jmnachos","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7e1d1ef52151cc8a5257ad8afccbee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557275636539929","authorIdStr":"3557275636539929"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can someone like my comment thank you so much","listText":"Can someone like my comment thank you so much","text":"Can someone like my comment thank you so much","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/388541601","repostId":"1168862133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168862133","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613024272,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168862133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-11 14:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Best Stocks To Buy For 2021?

This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT).

To be fair, I also sold some Apple shares in June, at lower prices. But the premise of the article was Apple Inc. at $500 a share was just too rich. The underlying fundamentals didn't support it. So I pulled the plug on a position first opened in 2010. The stock was held in a tax-deferred account.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I took the AAPL proceeds and doubled my position in Alphabet.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80dea63522140afe3123212127a06309\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>I purchased shares between the middle of August and the first few days of October. The average bid price on the incremental position was $1503.</p>\n<p><b>Subsequent Price Action</b></p>\n<p>Now I will be the first to tell you six months doesn't prove a thesis definitively. As an investor (versus a trader or speculator), I generally hold a stock for at least 18 months. Through experience, I've found this to be the minimum amount of time I like to hold a stock in order to give an original investment thesis the \"chance to be right.” Exceptions are cases whereby the original investment thesis is busted. If that happens, I don't wait and hope for things to change. I get out. Alternatively, if a stock runs up much too far, too fast, I may also exit a position early.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the six-month return delta between AAPL and GOOGL is so stark it seems a reasonable call out.</p>\n<p>Since I sold the balance of my AAPL stock, the price improved from split-adjusted $124.99 to $135.40. That's an 8.3% increase in six months. Including two dividend payments, the total return would have been 8.6 percent. That's not bad.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, GOOGL shares moved from $1503 (my aggregate purchase price) to $2095.<b>That's a 39% gain.</b></p>\n<p>The upshot isn't to point out making a good six-month call. It's to evaluate the decision-making process behind the call, then plot a path forward.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Shares Were Dear And Remain Dear</b></p>\n<p>In August 2020, my contention was AAPL prices got way ahead of the fundamentals.</p>\n<p>At the time, fiscal year 3Q 2020 (period ending June 30) corporate cash flow was up sharply. Apple Services revenue and margins were advancing nicely, but Apple Products margins were sagging. The Street forecast $15.02 ($3.76 split-adjusted) EPS for 2020 fiscal year, and $18.09 ($4.52 split-adjusted) operating cash flow per share.</p>\n<p>Shares were trading at over 35x earnings, and 26x cash flow.</p>\n<p>Now, with the benefit of two additional quarters behind us, we find the full-year EPS came in at $3.26 and cash flow at $4.60 per share: earnings results were light, and cash flow recorded a modest beat.</p>\n<p>Adding in an additional set of quarterly results (for the period ending 12/31/20), shares now trade at 37x trailing earnings, and 27x cash flow.</p>\n<p>The long-term P/E and P/OCF multiples have been ~16x and 12x, respectively.</p>\n<p>Therefore, while registering an 8.6% total return since mid-August, AAPL shares now appear even MORE overvalued than before.</p>\n<p>Two F.A.S.T. Graphs illustrate the foregoing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13c306c732836423e10bfbb5506e6fa9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"421\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/56f9f7cb3aded328606c6f289f6cddc9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"407\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>For a good growth stock, it's customary to look at forward EPS. Based upon current Street estimates, Apple Inc. is trading at 30x this years' EPS, and 25x cash flow. These multiples are still far above the long-term average.</p>\n<p>Note I selected charts whereby the actual long-term growth rates approximate the current expected two-year forward growth rates.</p>\n<p><b>Alphabet Stock Is No Longer A Bargain</b></p>\n<p>Meanwhile, back in August 2020, analysts were setting up Alphabet investors for an off year. The COVID-related economic slowdown certainly affected the business: primarily Google advertising revenue.</p>\n<p>Alphabet met or exceeded 2Q and first-half 2020 numbers; however, revenue, margins, and operating income were contracting.</p>\n<p>Back in August, analysts called for full-year (ending December 31) EPS and cash flow per share to be $44.61 and $78.02, respectively. The Street expected declining year-over-year figures.</p>\n<p>GOOGL shares were trading at 33x EPS, and under 20x operating cash flow. The long-term trimmed averages were 28x and 22x.

To be fair, I also sold some Apple shares in June, at lower prices. But the premise of the article was Apple Inc. at $500 a share was just too rich. The underlying fundamentals didn't support it. So I pulled the plug on a position first opened in 2010. The stock was held in a tax-deferred account.\nMeanwhile, I took the AAPL proceeds and doubled my position in Alphabet.\n\nI purchased shares between the middle of August and the first few days of October. The average bid price on the incremental position was $1503.\nSubsequent Price Action\nNow I will be the first to tell you six months doesn't prove a thesis definitively. As an investor (versus a trader or speculator), I generally hold a stock for at least 18 months. Through experience, I've found this to be the minimum amount of time I like to hold a stock in order to give an original investment thesis the \"chance to be right.” Exceptions are cases whereby the original investment thesis is busted. If that happens, I don't wait and hope for things to change. I get out. Alternatively, if a stock runs up much too far, too fast, I may also exit a position early.\nNonetheless, the six-month return delta between AAPL and GOOGL is so stark it seems a reasonable call out.\nSince I sold the balance of my AAPL stock, the price improved from split-adjusted $124.99 to $135.40. That's an 8.3% increase in six months. Including two dividend payments, the total return would have been 8.6 percent. That's not bad.\nOn the other hand, GOOGL shares moved from $1503 (my aggregate purchase price) to $2095.That's a 39% gain.\nThe upshot isn't to point out making a good six-month call. It's to evaluate the decision-making process behind the call, then plot a path forward.\nApple Shares Were Dear And Remain Dear\nIn August 2020, my contention was AAPL prices got way ahead of the fundamentals.\nAt the time, fiscal year 3Q 2020 (period ending June 30) corporate cash flow was up sharply. Apple Services revenue and margins were advancing nicely, but Apple Products margins were sagging. The Street forecast $15.02 ($3.76 split-adjusted) EPS for 2020 fiscal year, and $18.09 ($4.52 split-adjusted) operating cash flow per share.\nShares were trading at over 35x earnings, and 26x cash flow.\nNow, with the benefit of two additional quarters behind us, we find the full-year EPS came in at $3.26 and cash flow at $4.60 per share: earnings results were light, and cash flow recorded a modest beat.\nAdding in an additional set of quarterly results (for the period ending 12/31/20), shares now trade at 37x trailing earnings, and 27x cash flow.\nThe long-term P/E and P/OCF multiples have been ~16x and 12x, respectively.\nTherefore, while registering an 8.6% total return since mid-August, AAPL shares now appear even MORE overvalued than before.\nTwo F.A.S.T. Graphs illustrate the foregoing:\n\nFor a good growth stock, it's customary to look at forward EPS. Based upon current Street estimates, Apple Inc. is trading at 30x this years' EPS, and 25x cash flow. These multiples are still far above the long-term average.\nNote I selected charts whereby the actual long-term growth rates approximate the current expected two-year forward growth rates.\nAlphabet Stock Is No Longer A Bargain\nMeanwhile, back in August 2020, analysts were setting up Alphabet investors for an off year. The COVID-related economic slowdown certainly affected the business: primarily Google advertising revenue.\nAlphabet met or exceeded 2Q and first-half 2020 numbers; however, revenue, margins, and operating income were contracting.\nBack in August, analysts called for full-year (ending December 31) EPS and cash flow per share to be $44.61 and $78.02, respectively. The Street expected declining year-over-year figures.\nGOOGL shares were trading at 33x EPS, and under 20x operating cash flow. The long-term trimmed averages were 28x and 22x. The earnings multiple indicated approximate Fair Value, while the shares were inexpensive on cash flow.\nSo what happened?\nIndeed, Alphabet's numbers rebounded faster than expected. The Street underestimated the snap-back.\nBut the real story was valuation.\nGOOGL posted full-year EPS and cash flow per share figures of $58.61 and $88.82, thereby stomping Street consensus.\nCurrently, Alphabet shares now trade at 36x trailing earnings and 24x cash flow.\nLong-term P/E and P/OCF multiples are 26x and 19x, respectively.\nAnother pair of F.A.S.T. Graphs paint the picture:\n\n\nOn a forward basis, GOOGL is trading at 30x EPS and 18x operating cash flow.\nIndeed, after the big run-up, Alphabet stock has gone from fairly valued / inexpensive to fairly valued / moderately overvalued.\nSumming It Up\nHere's a recap summary table comparing Apple and Alphabet valuation metrics today versus August 2020:\nApple versus Alphabet Valuation Summary\n\n\n\nApple (Feb '21)\nApple (August '20)\nAlphabet (Feb '21)\nAlphabet (August '20)\n\n\nBlended P/E\n36.5x\n35.6x\n35.0x\n32.8x\n\n\nHistorical P/E*\n16x\n15x\n26x\n28x\n\n\nBlended P/OCF\n28x\n25.9x\n22.8x\n19.6x\n\n\nHistorical P/OCF*\n12x\n11x\n19x\n22x\n\n\nProjected EPS growth FY 2021\n35%\n19%\n19%\n27%\n\n\nProjected EPS growth FY 2022\n5%\n7%\n15%\n21%\n\n\nProjected OCF growth FY 2021\n19%\n8%\n27%\n21%\n\n\nProjected OCF FY 2022\n2%\n1%\n17%\n20%\n\n\n\nAAPL stock was heavily overvalued in August 2020. Based upon trailing twelve-month multiples, the shares remain overvalued today. Looking ahead, the most recent 2021 earnings and cash flow growth forecasts have risen significantly, while 2022 estimates remained about the same. On a forward basis, AAPL stock trades at 30x EPS and 25x cash flow. That's still far above historical averages.\nGOOGL stock was undervalued on cash flow in August 2020. It's a mixed bag now; Alphabet isn't in the bargain bin. Based upon TTM multiples, shares are trading above Fair Value today. Looking ahead, 2021 and 2022 EPS estimates have fallen since August. The 2021 cash flow forecast is higher, and the 2022 forecast is a bit lower.

Based upon 2021 estimates, GOOGL stock is trading at 30x earnings and 18x operating cash flow. That's a little high on EPS, and about on par for OCF.\nWhat's actionable now?\nInvestors make forward decisions upon where a company's earnings and cash flow are going; not where they've been.

Growth is expected to rebound to 4%-6% this year, but the outlook remains challenging for some important sectors including aviation, transport and hospitality.Normally fiscally conservative, the challenges of the pandemic will force the city-state to run an overall budget deficit again, though narrower than the record high of 13.9% of gross domestic product in the 2020 financial year.That compares with the global average for overall fiscal deficits of 11.8% of GDP in 2020 and 8.5% in 2021, according to International Monetary Fund projections.
