In December, the agency required closely held Epic Games, the maker of the popular Fortnite title, to pay a $275 million fine – the largest levy to date under the kids’ privacy law.  Speaking at a conference in Washington Friday, FTC Chair Lina Khan said the law “prohibits firms from conditioning access to certain services on endless collection of data.”  The law has “substantive limitations on when firms can be collecting data,” she said.Politico earlier reported the FTC’s intent to pursue the case against Amazon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1190,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940052381,"gmtCreate":1677624435543,"gmtModify":1677624439747,"author":{"id":"3559787818034959","authorId":"3559787818034959","name":"Ericlam","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2154f4bb8afd22f8e6fde60b57acb69","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559787818034959","authorIdStr":"3559787818034959"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940052381","repostId":"9957900100","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9957900100,"gmtCreate":1676855272302,"gmtModify":1676858293270,"author":{"id":"4123698068598252","authorId":"4123698068598252","name":"Hypershock","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4123698068598252","authorIdStr":"4123698068598252"},"themes":[],"title":"Why Roblox is already defeating Meta in the Metaverse","htmlText":"Roblox is a powerful player in the Metaverse Facebook (FB) changed their name to Meta Platforms <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/META\">$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$</a> as part of a plan for Meta to blast into the Metaverse to literally become parts of people’s lives.

These three stocks fit the bill.","content":"<p>There are many ways to make money in the stock market. Every investor has their own style, different levels of risk tolerance, and diverse goals. But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the easiest and most profitable ways to get rich on Wall Street is to follow in the footsteps of true masters such as Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham.</p>\n<p>It's elementary, really. First, identify companies with fantastic growth opportunities, sustainable business advantages over their rivals, and excellent management teams. Then, buy these stocks at reasonable prices. It's OK to overpay a bit if you have to. Quality doesn't always come cheap.</p>\n<p>Then, stick those shares under your proverbial pillow and get some undisturbed sleep. Do absolutely nothing for years or even decades. Companies with the qualities I listed a minute ago should be able to deliver solid returns for the long haul, unlocking the magic of compounding returns over very long periods.</p>\n<p>Even ardent growth investors with a high tolerance for market risk should have a handful of these surefire long-term bets in their portfolios. For example, my own collection of small-cap tickers, promising growth stocks, and the odd speculative bet is built around a solid core of long-term champions.

Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Roku: Modern entertainment in a nutshell</h2>\n<p>Streaming media is everywhere nowadays. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the mainstream adoption of digital entertainment services, and the health crisis struck just as every entertainment company on the planet seemed to be launching its own streaming platform.</p>\n<p>Roku benefits from all of this activity, being the global leader in media-streaming technologies. The company's service-agnostic philosophy does a couple of important things for Roku's long-term success. First, this company can be a huge winner no matter which content studio walks away with the trophy for having the most viewers in the end. Second, Roku's omnipresent nature in the set-top box and smart TV markets forces every new service to develop support for Roku's platform. These two qualities reinforce each other as time goes by, further cementing Roku's rock-solid growth trajectory.</p>\n<p>Streaming entertainment is here to stay. Roku has claimed the catbird seat for itself in this explosive growth market. It would take a massive effort by an established entertainment technology giant to dethrone Roku at this point. Most of those large-scale rivals are too deeply attached to their long-standing traditions to really go for it.</p>\n<p>For example, I would eat my shoe if <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) ever decided to give equal support to every available streaming service and hardware device. The Apple TV app is only available for devices designed in Cupertino, and the Apple TV set-top box works best with the iTunes ecosystem. That's the exact opposite of Roku's agnostic attitude, and the main reason why I don't see Apple as a serious Roku competitor.</p>\n<p>A larger company could give up on promoting its in-house platform options and just buy Roku instead. However, Roku is trading at 208 times forward earnings or 210 times free cash flows. The company's enterprise value stands at a hefty $44.1 billion today. That's rich enough to make any tech giant think twice about putting together an acquisition offer, especially one with a buyout premium large enough to win the required shareholder vote. The lofty price tag is Roku's best takeover defense.</p>\n<p>This is one of those situations where a high price shouldn't deter you from picking up Roku shares. You get to own a premium business when you pay that premium price.</p>\n<p>So if you want to bet on the future of digital entertainment without worrying about the content production side of things, Roku is your best bet. This stock should deliver market-beating returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<h2>Alphabet: Throwing spaghetti at the wall for fun and profit</h2>\n<p>So far, almost all of Alphabet's success and financial gains have sprung from the Google-branded set of online search and advertising tools. In the recently reported second quarter of 2021, Google services and Google Cloud accounted for 99.2% of Alphabet's total sales. The remaining operations, under the \"other bets\" segment, also reported an operating loss of $1.1 billion, while the Google segments generated $8.1 billion in operating profits. It's all about the Big G.</p>\n<p>That won't always be the case, though.</p>\n<p>Google transformed into the conglomerate known as Alphabet exactly because the company knows that big changes are coming. Web browsers and ad-boosted websites will not always provide a stable revenue stream for Google. Mobile apps and the Android platform are ready to take over, but this too shall pass.</p>\n<p>And Alphabet is trying out a whole bunch of alternative business ideas. So far, the company is looking at ideas such as self-driving cars, high-speed internet services, advanced medical research, and next-generation agriculture development. One or several of those unconventional bets should stand ready to carry Alphabet's financial torch when the time comes. Or maybe we haven't even heard of Alphabet's best ideas yet.</p>\n<p>Nobody knows exactly where this train is going, but I'm OK with that. Alphabet is willing to keep throwing spaghetti at the wall until something really sticks, creating the foundation of whatever this company might become. Alphabet's ambitious moonshot projects generally strike me as wholesome ideas that could benefit humanity on a large scale -- and I would be happy to benefit from their potential success.</p>\n<p>That's why Alphabet will always hold a place in my investment portfolio. This company is ready and able to change with the times. That's one effective way to build a successful business for the ages.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/300a57a82684c9a313758e27f921ed5e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"485\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>The winds of change are blowing. Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Disney: Always ready to turn on a dime</h2>\n<p>Finally, Disney's leaders are proving their willingness to try new ideas. The House of Mouse reorganized itself around streaming content last year, thumbing its nose at the traditional media industry to refocus on what's next. Its world-class theme parks are adapting to the restrictions of social distancing, putting together a positive third-quarter showing after several quarters of negative operating profits.</p>\n<p>This is the only old-school media studio I would consider owning nowadays. Unfortunately, Disney's sector peers often respond to changing market conditions by retreating into their shells to defend the operating procedures of old, and those efforts are mostly ineffective.</p>\n<p>For example, movie theater attendance has been falling for decades. Hollywood at large wanted to address this problem by raising ticket prices, which then resulted in even fewer ticket sales. In Disney's case, the company eventually fired up a serious media-streaming service packed with the company's legendary content, supported by a steady stream of brand new original material.</p>\n<p>Disney+ is the company's future in many ways, and you won't see CEO Bob Chapek or chairman Bob Iger complaining about that fact. Instead, they tweaked their company's operating structure to accelerate the transformation.</p>\n<p>I don't know where the entertainment and media markets are going in the long run, but I don't really have to. I'm convinced that Disney will do whatever it takes to stay relevant and thriving in whatever market conditions might be around the bend. Again, I really like owning stocks tied to businesses that can and will change over time. Disney is another great example of this market-beating quality.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Top Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul</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\">\n3 Top Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-11 11:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/10/3-top-stocks-to-buy-for-the-long-haul/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There are many ways to make money in the stock market.

Every investor has their own style, different levels of risk tolerance, and diverse goals. But one of the easiest and most profitable ways to get rich on Wall Street is to follow in the footsteps of true masters such as Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham.\nIt's elementary, really. First, identify companies with fantastic growth opportunities, sustainable business advantages over their rivals, and excellent management teams. Then, buy these stocks at reasonable prices. It's OK to overpay a bit if you have to. Quality doesn't always come cheap.\nThen, stick those shares under your proverbial pillow and get some undisturbed sleep. Do absolutely nothing for years or even decades. Companies with the qualities I listed a minute ago should be able to deliver solid returns for the long haul, unlocking the magic of compounding returns over very long periods.\nEven ardent growth investors with a high tolerance for market risk should have a handful of these surefire long-term bets in their portfolios. For example, my own collection of small-cap tickers, promising growth stocks, and the odd speculative bet is built around a solid core of long-term champions. Whatever happens to the rest of my real-world holdings, I don't lose a minute of sleep over these proven winners.

Find something new, would ya!”</p><p>Well, it’s hard to be a future blue chips stock if the company isn’t already a good one.

And now, we’re going to go one-by-one through them to see why.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a86b7974b7e75ab9d177dd5490282aac\" tg-width=\"1114\" tg-height=\"454\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NKE\">Nike</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96309d402167ac02d02467153492335a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: TY Lim / Shutterstock.com</p><p>One of the largest apparel companies in the world is<b>Nike</b>(NYSE:<b>NKE</b>). It operates a wonderful blend between being a wholesale apparel maker and a high-end athletic retailer. By running its own locations, as well as selling to other retailers, Nike diversifies its revenue and is able to drive incremental margin growth to its bottom line.</p><p>In a nutshell, it can drive sales at its own locations, while relying on the size of other retailers to generate revenue. But Nike’s real crown jewel is its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business.</p><p>Referred to by the company as its DTC unit, this business is what allows Nike to drive significant margin expansion. It’s also what allowed the company to recover more quickly than most apparel makers and apparel retailers in the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>With its DTC business, Nike can sell right to its customers. In turn, that allows it to build better analytics and improve its target marketing. It also allows it to cut out the middleman. Last quarter,overall revenue increased 4.9%year-over-year (YOY). However, its DTC business climbed 17% on a currency-neutral basis. So, clearly, that’s where the momentum is at.</p><p>Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47861f1381d07e74ccba8ded13159044\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: rvlsoft / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is one of the best companies in the entire market, and there are three simple reasons why: Assets, growth and its balance sheet. Let’s go in that order.</p><p>The company commands a market capitalization of about $1.9 trillion, so of course, it has many assets. However, its main assets are Google.com and YouTube.com. Not only are these the two most popular websites in the world — akin to owning Boardwalk and Park Place in the game<i>Monopoly</i> — but they also boast strong growth.</p><p>That leads us to our second point. In combination with its cloud unit and other divisions, Alphabet continues to churn out impressive growth. Last quarter, revenue climbedmore than 32% YOY. This year, analysts expectsales growth of 16.7%. And for 2023, those estimates sit at 15.6%. Meanwhile, earnings growth forecasts are similar.</p><p>When it comes to free cash flow, Alphabet generated $67<i>billion</i>inFCF last year. That was up more than 55% from the prior year, while this figure grew more than 35% in each of the prior two years as well.</p><p>All of this growth is doing just one thing, which is growing the balance sheet. As of its latest quarter, Alphabet has $188 billion in current assets, almost $140 billion of which are in cash and short-term securities. The company also carries $14.8 billion in long-term debt, or a quarter of that when we exclude capitalized leases.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/364a2cb8d2afac18372e4783b1019bd1\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: WeDesing / Shutterstock.com</p><p>I refer to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a> as having one of the best business models in the world. It runs the razor/razor blade model, but at an incredible premium.</p><p>The razor/razor blade model is premised on the idea of getting the razor into customer’s hands — even if that means giving it away at cost (or less) — so that they will continue to buy razors from you, which is the real money maker.</p><p>Rather than give away its razors though — in this case, that’s iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. — Apple charges a hefty premium. They mark these devices up in price to the point where they alone generate an enormous business for Apple.</p><p>So, what then is the razor blade portion of the business? Services.</p><p>Last quarter, overall revenue grew 11%, whileServicesrevenuegrew almost 24%YOY. Not only is it outpacing the company’s Products revenue in terms of growth, and overall revenue growth, but Apple’s Services unit is more than twice as profitable as its Products business. And that is the main catalyst that people need to understand.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/806d1eadbf86df2e3594da052318aa3a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Kikinunchi / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Outside of the tech space, these next two companies have been some of the best performers over the last decade. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">MasterCard</a> run what I like to call a “toll booth” on transactions.</p><p>There’s a secular trend that’s been underway for years, as consumers transition from cash and check to credit and debit. Additionally, the rise of online and digital sales has only fueled this move, as consumers obviously find it easy to shop.</p><p>Specifically, with these two businesses, investors have been quick to critique the valuation by pointing out that Visa stock trades at more than 17 times its trailing 12-month revenue. In the past, this valuation has also been an issue.Even during generous market periods, that’s a rich valuation for many growth stocks.However, in those instances, investors aren’t taking profits into account for the growth stocks, because many don’t have any. And in the case of Visa, it’s incredibly profitable.</p><p>Overall, the company sports gross profit margins of almost 80% and net profit margins of 51.6%. These metrics aren’t back to the pre-pandemic highs just yet, but they are inching in that direction now. Therefore, it makes a great option among the top blue-chip stocks to buy.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">MasterCard </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4ceebd503c5e934c82f5af4c8e4a01c\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Alexander Yakimov / Shutterstock.com</p><p>MasterCard is very similar to Visa. Like the latter, MasterCard also tends to trade at a high price-sales (P/S) ratio. While many will glance at this metric and dismiss these stocks, it’s a foolish way to evaluate them. Admittedly the valuations have crept higher, but from this standpoint, they have almost always been elevated. And yet, investors have reaped enormous rewards by staying long Visa and MasterCard.</p><p>In fact, 76% of revenue is converted into gross profit and almost <i>half</i> of revenue falls to the bottom line. In turn, MasterCard boasts a net profit margin of 46%. Of course, like Visa, these margins are not back to pre-pandemic levels; But they do continue to climb.</p><p>Collectively, the major risk to these businesses isn’t digital sales, cryptocurrencies or otherwise. It’s a recession, either globally or domestically. Lower consumer spending will be a big net negative to these stocks specifically since spending is what drives the top and bottom line.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04874462381e4ee3fb7f89da1b0d0b6f\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Hairem / Shutterstock.com</p><p>As one of the greatest companies in the market as well, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> caters to multiple end-markets that are enjoying long-term secular growth. Some of those end markets include:</p><p>Datacenter, cloud computing, supercomputing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, graphics, gaming, autonomous driving and automotive, drones, robotics, the metaverse and more.</p><p>Moreover, when you look at those markets, it’s pretty clear to see the trends. Do customers want faster computers, better graphics, and more responsive gaming and control (for drones, robotics, autonomous driving)? Do they want faster cloud-based applications and are they generating more data?</p><p>The answers to these questions all point to more demand for Nvidia’s products In turn, it’s the main reason I believe this firm will eventually command a $1 trillion market cap.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">Starbucks </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb5693448bc0842fb18328a21a9c78ed\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Grand Warszawski / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Last but not least, we have a dominant food- and drinks-based retailer with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">Starbucks</a>. Aside from routinely landing among the top spots in the<i>Piper Sandler</i>teen survey, Starbucks remains a go-to “third place” for consumers of all ages.</p><p>The company may be out of its strong growth days, but Starbucks still generates impressive cash flow and growth. With that in mind, analysts expectabout 13% revenue growth this year, then a steady 8% to 9% growth ineach of the next three years.On the earnings front, analysts expect roughly 18% earnings growth this year, followed by more than 17% growth next year.</p><p>Furthermore, the recent dip in the stock has driven Starbucks’ dividend yield up above 2%.While it’s not winning many income investors over at that rate, it’s not bad for those of us with a long-term horizon that isn’t necessarily focused solely on dividend income. However, the company has made this yield a priority.</p><p>Starbucks has grown its dividend for 11 years now, with afive-year average growth rateof about 15.9%.

Instead, I was after future blue chips; And thus, the Future Blue Chips idea had dawned on me.Since then, I have been hunting tomorrow’s shining stars of today, sniffing out the best stocks I can find with strong fundamentals, solid leadership and reasonable valuations.These are long-term, theme-oriented stocks that are relying on high-quality businesses and secular trends. Years ago — perhaps a decade — I would get people that would reach out to me and say, “Hey! These are already well-known companies. Find something new, would ya!”Well, it’s hard to be a future blue chips stock if the company isn’t already a good one. At the time, it included many of the names you see above, minus Nvidia unfortunately. On the plus side, the rest of these companies have continued to deliver the goods. And now, we’re going to go one-by-one through them to see why.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: NikeSource: TY Lim / Shutterstock.comOne of the largest apparel companies in the world isNike(NYSE:NKE). It operates a wonderful blend between being a wholesale apparel maker and a high-end athletic retailer. By running its own locations, as well as selling to other retailers, Nike diversifies its revenue and is able to drive incremental margin growth to its bottom line.In a nutshell, it can drive sales at its own locations, while relying on the size of other retailers to generate revenue. But Nike’s real crown jewel is its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business.Referred to by the company as its DTC unit, this business is what allows Nike to drive significant margin expansion. It’s also what allowed the company to recover more quickly than most apparel makers and apparel retailers in the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic.With its DTC business, Nike can sell right to its customers. In turn, that allows it to build better analytics and improve its target marketing. It also allows it to cut out the middleman. Last quarter,overall revenue increased 4.9%year-over-year (YOY). However, its DTC business climbed 17% on a currency-neutral basis. So, clearly, that’s where the momentum is at.Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)Source: rvlsoft / Shutterstock.comAlphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is one of the best companies in the entire market, and there are three simple reasons why: Assets, growth and its balance sheet. Let’s go in that order.The company commands a market capitalization of about $1.9 trillion, so of course, it has many assets. However, its main assets are Google.com and YouTube.com. Not only are these the two most popular websites in the world — akin to owning Boardwalk and Park Place in the gameMonopoly — but they also boast strong growth.That leads us to our second point. In combination with its cloud unit and other divisions, Alphabet continues to churn out impressive growth. Last quarter, revenue climbedmore than 32% YOY. This year, analysts expectsales growth of 16.7%. And for 2023, those estimates sit at 15.6%. Meanwhile, earnings growth forecasts are similar.When it comes to free cash flow, Alphabet generated $67billioninFCF last year. That was up more than 55% from the prior year, while this figure grew more than 35% in each of the prior two years as well.All of this growth is doing just one thing, which is growing the balance sheet. As of its latest quarter, Alphabet has $188 billion in current assets, almost $140 billion of which are in cash and short-term securities. The company also carries $14.8 billion in long-term debt, or a quarter of that when we exclude capitalized leases.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: Apple Source: WeDesing / Shutterstock.comI refer to Apple  as having one of the best business models in the world. It runs the razor/razor blade model, but at an incredible premium.The razor/razor blade model is premised on the idea of getting the razor into customer’s hands — even if that means giving it away at cost (or less) — so that they will continue to buy razors from you, which is the real money maker.Rather than give away its razors though — in this case, that’s iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. — Apple charges a hefty premium. They mark these devices up in price to the point where they alone generate an enormous business for Apple.So, what then is the razor blade portion of the business? Services.Last quarter, overall revenue grew 11%, whileServicesrevenuegrew almost 24%YOY. Not only is it outpacing the company’s Products revenue in terms of growth, and overall revenue growth, but Apple’s Services unit is more than twice as profitable as its Products business. And that is the main catalyst that people need to understand.Visa Source: Kikinunchi / Shutterstock.comOutside of the tech space, these next two companies have been some of the best performers over the last decade. Visa and MasterCard run what I like to call a “toll booth” on transactions.There’s a secular trend that’s been underway for years, as consumers transition from cash and check to credit and debit. Additionally, the rise of online and digital sales has only fueled this move, as consumers obviously find it easy to shop.Specifically, with these two businesses, investors have been quick to critique the valuation by pointing out that Visa stock trades at more than 17 times its trailing 12-month revenue. In the past, this valuation has also been an issue.Even during generous market periods, that’s a rich valuation for many growth stocks.However, in those instances, investors aren’t taking profits into account for the growth stocks, because many don’t have any. And in the case of Visa, it’s incredibly profitable.Overall, the company sports gross profit margins of almost 80% and net profit margins of 51.6%. These metrics aren’t back to the pre-pandemic highs just yet, but they are inching in that direction now. Therefore, it makes a great option among the top blue-chip stocks to buy.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: MasterCard Source: Alexander Yakimov / Shutterstock.comMasterCard is very similar to Visa. Like the latter, MasterCard also tends to trade at a high price-sales (P/S) ratio. While many will glance at this metric and dismiss these stocks, it’s a foolish way to evaluate them. Admittedly the valuations have crept higher, but from this standpoint, they have almost always been elevated. And yet, investors have reaped enormous rewards by staying long Visa and MasterCard.In fact, 76% of revenue is converted into gross profit and almost half of revenue falls to the bottom line. In turn, MasterCard boasts a net profit margin of 46%. Of course, like Visa, these margins are not back to pre-pandemic levels; But they do continue to climb.Collectively, the major risk to these businesses isn’t digital sales, cryptocurrencies or otherwise. It’s a recession, either globally or domestically. Lower consumer spending will be a big net negative to these stocks specifically since spending is what drives the top and bottom line.NvidiaSource: Hairem / Shutterstock.comAs one of the greatest companies in the market as well, Nvidia caters to multiple end-markets that are enjoying long-term secular growth. Some of those end markets include:Datacenter, cloud computing, supercomputing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, graphics, gaming, autonomous driving and automotive, drones, robotics, the metaverse and more.Moreover, when you look at those markets, it’s pretty clear to see the trends. Do customers want faster computers, better graphics, and more responsive gaming and control (for drones, robotics, autonomous driving)? Do they want faster cloud-based applications and are they generating more data?The answers to these questions all point to more demand for Nvidia’s products In turn, it’s the main reason I believe this firm will eventually command a $1 trillion market cap.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: Starbucks Source: Grand Warszawski / Shutterstock.comLast but not least, we have a dominant food- and drinks-based retailer with Starbucks. Aside from routinely landing among the top spots in thePiper Sandlerteen survey, Starbucks remains a go-to “third place” for consumers of all ages.The company may be out of its strong growth days, but Starbucks still generates impressive cash flow and growth. With that in mind, analysts expectabout 13% revenue growth this year, then a steady 8% to 9% growth ineach of the next three years.On the earnings front, analysts expect roughly 18% earnings growth this year, followed by more than 17% growth next year.Furthermore, the recent dip in the stock has driven Starbucks’ dividend yield up above 2%.While it’s not winning many income investors over at that rate, it’s not bad for those of us with a long-term horizon that isn’t necessarily focused solely on dividend income. However, the company has made this yield a priority.Starbucks has grown its dividend for 11 years now, with afive-year average growth rateof about 15.9%. So, clearly, it’s a focus.Thus, as long as the world is drinking coffee, Starbucks will be a winner.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":455,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9039625484,"gmtCreate":1646025515759,"gmtModify":1676534083511,"author":{"id":"3559787818034959","authorId":"3559787818034959","name":"Ericlam","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2154f4bb8afd22f8e6fde60b57acb69","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559787818034959","authorIdStr":"3559787818034959"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a good bet🤣","listText":"This is a good bet🤣","text":"This is a good bet🤣","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9039625484","repostId":"2214189884","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":535,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9003001161,"gmtCreate":1640820856749,"gmtModify":1676533543861,"author":{"id":"3559787818034959","authorId":"3559787818034959","name":"Ericlam","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2154f4bb8afd22f8e6fde60b57acb69","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559787818034959","authorIdStr":"3559787818034959"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9003001161","repostId":"2195466435","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2195466435","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1640814752,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2195466435?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2021-12-30 05:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow, S&P Close at Record Highs as Omicron Worries Ease","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2195466435","media":"Reuters","summary":"Dec 29 (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 closed at all-time highs on Wednesday on a boost from retaile","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Dec 29 (Reuters) - The Dow and S&amp;P 500 closed at all-time highs on Wednesday on a boost from retailers including Walgreens and Nike, as investors shrugged off concerns on the spreading Omicron variant.</p><p>The Dow has now risen six straight trading days, marking the longest streak of gains since a seven-session run from March 5 to March 15 this year.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a> and Nike Inc rose 1.59% and 1.42% respectively against the backdrop of recent reports suggesting holiday sales were strong for U.S. retailers.</p><p>Data on Wednesday showed the U.S. trade deficit in goods mushroomed to the widest ever in November as imports of consumer goods shot to a record, as the coronavirus pandemic has limited spending by Americans on services.</p><p>Some early studies pointing to a reduced risk of hospitalization in Omicron cases have eased some investors concerns over the travel disruptions and powered the S&amp;P 500 to record highs this week.</p><p>&#34;The market started to recognize that the Omicron variant was in a strange way good news, because it will burn itself out more rapidly because it&#39;s easily transmissible, but it&#39;s less likely to overwhelm hospitals,&#34; said Jay Hatfield, founder and chief executive of Infrastructure Capital Management in New York.

the S&P 500 lost 6.95 points, or 0.16%, at 4,473.75; and the Nasdaq Composite added 20.40 points, or 0.13%, at 15,181.92.\nEight of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500 ended lower, with materials suffering the largest percentage drop.\nThe consumer discretionary spending sector posted the biggest gain, with Amazon.com doing the heavy lifting.\nApparel company Gap Inc gained 1.6%. Online marketplace Etsy Inc and luxury accessory company Tapestry Inc rose 3.1% and 1.9%, respectively.\nFord Motor Co rose 1.4% after it announced plans to boost production of its F-150 electric pickup model.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.27-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.06-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted nine new 52-week highs and one new low; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 82 new highs and 94 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 9.37 billion shares, compared with the 9.44 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576274545052910","authorId":"3576274545052910","name":"Kevin92","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5ff4addbbdb8d9d15fec29f9709b0c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576274545052910","authorIdStr":"3576274545052910"},"content":"Like
