Yet, markets took a turn on Wednesday. Major stock indexes suffered their sharpest one-day losses since October. This came amid concerns about COVID-19 vaccine distribution. And at the same time, Wall Street is captivated by insane rallies from GameStop (NYSE: GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC).</p><p>Sponsored LinksVolatility means opportunity. Start trading today!IC Markets</p><p>When irrational market reactions happen, most of us can’t help but get distracted from the main events that are taking place in thestock market. Today, we are not going to talk about the brinkmanship between Wall Street andReddit investors. Rather, we are going to focus on the tech giants who have been competing neck-to-neck for the past 4 decades. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) may not be competing on the same thing today. Still, the rivalry between thesetop tech stockscontinues. Apple remains a leader in the smartphone and wearables. Whereas, Microsoft has successfully transformed itself into a cloud company.</p><p>Now, Apple and Microsoft are two of the most valuable companies in the world. Choosing between these two giants probably is one difficult task to do. Of course, you don’t have to pick one between the two. But what if you do? Let’s take a look at their recent results.</p><p>Microsoft Hits $40 Billion In Quarterly Sales For First Time</p><p>Microsoft keeps going from strength to strength. Its latest quarterly report was a blast, to say the least. Revenue accelerated an impressive 17%, an exceptional rate for a company this size. That’s because it’s often assumed that a company will inevitably decelerate in growth as it becomes larger. However, Microsoft has proven that’s not always the case. In fact, it’s worth mentioning that the company’s net income rose by 33% year-over-year to $15.5 billion. If you look at the earnings alone, you would know that Microsoft’s quarter was strong across the board. With that all in mind, MSFT stock does seem like a solid investment.</p><p></p><p>Sure, Microsoft was growing at a healthy rate of 12%-14% for the past few years. Given its gigantic size, investors would love to know if the growth rate is sustainable, or even accelerating this rate. Among them, the highlight would be the revenue for its Intelligent Cloud, which hit $14.6 billion. That represents an increase of 23% from a year ago.</p><p>This is likely due to more people working from home, and companies transitioning to the cloud to accommodate remote working.

Start trading today!IC MarketsWhen irrational market reactions happen, most of us can’t help but get distracted from the main events that are taking place in thestock market. Today, we are not going to talk about the brinkmanship between Wall Street andReddit investors. Rather, we are going to focus on the tech giants who have been competing neck-to-neck for the past 4 decades. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) may not be competing on the same thing today. Still, the rivalry between thesetop tech stockscontinues. Apple remains a leader in the smartphone and wearables. Whereas, Microsoft has successfully transformed itself into a cloud company.Now, Apple and Microsoft are two of the most valuable companies in the world. Choosing between these two giants probably is one difficult task to do. Of course, you don’t have to pick one between the two. But what if you do? Let’s take a look at their recent results.Microsoft Hits $40 Billion In Quarterly Sales For First TimeMicrosoft keeps going from strength to strength. Its latest quarterly report was a blast, to say the least. Revenue accelerated an impressive 17%, an exceptional rate for a company this size. That’s because it’s often assumed that a company will inevitably decelerate in growth as it becomes larger. However, Microsoft has proven that’s not always the case. In fact, it’s worth mentioning that the company’s net income rose by 33% year-over-year to $15.5 billion. If you look at the earnings alone, you would know that Microsoft’s quarter was strong across the board. With that all in mind, MSFT stock does seem like a solid investment.Sure, Microsoft was growing at a healthy rate of 12%-14% for the past few years. Given its gigantic size, investors would love to know if the growth rate is sustainable, or even accelerating this rate. Among them, the highlight would be the revenue for its Intelligent Cloud, which hit $14.6 billion. That represents an increase of 23% from a year ago.This is likely due to more people working from home, and companies transitioning to the cloud to accommodate remote working. Many are expecting the cloud segment to drive Microsoft’s overall growth rate in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":312502260,"gmtCreate":1612162561650,"gmtModify":1704867559885,"author":{"id":"3561105062822231","authorId":"3561105062822231","authorIdStr":"3561105062822231","name":"phanghuiying","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6de359b1f4fa96675ee77832707304","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561105062822231"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice&nbsp;","listText":"nice&nbsp;","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/312502260","repostId":"1127084130","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127084130","pubTimestamp":1612160908,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127084130?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-01 14:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop short Melvin Capital lost 53% in January","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127084130","media":"marketwatch","summary":"Melvin Capital Management, the hedge fund that has borne the brunt of losses from the soaring stock ","content":"<p>Melvin Capital Management, the hedge fund that has borne the brunt of losses from the soaring stock prices of heavily shorted stocks recently, lost 53% in January, according to people familiar with the firm.</p>\n<p>Melvin was founded by Gabe Plotkin, a former star portfolio manager for hedge-fund titan Steven A.

Start trading today!IC MarketsWhen irrational market reactions happen, most of us can’t help but get distracted from the main events that are taking place in thestock market. Today, we are not going to talk about the brinkmanship between Wall Street andReddit investors. Rather, we are going to focus on the tech giants who have been competing neck-to-neck for the past 4 decades. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) may not be competing on the same thing today. Still, the rivalry between thesetop tech stockscontinues. Apple remains a leader in the smartphone and wearables. Whereas, Microsoft has successfully transformed itself into a cloud company.Now, Apple and Microsoft are two of the most valuable companies in the world. Choosing between these two giants probably is one difficult task to do. Of course, you don’t have to pick one between the two. But what if you do? Let’s take a look at their recent results.Microsoft Hits $40 Billion In Quarterly Sales For First TimeMicrosoft keeps going from strength to strength. Its latest quarterly report was a blast, to say the least. Revenue accelerated an impressive 17%, an exceptional rate for a company this size. That’s because it’s often assumed that a company will inevitably decelerate in growth as it becomes larger. However, Microsoft has proven that’s not always the case. In fact, it’s worth mentioning that the company’s net income rose by 33% year-over-year to $15.5 billion. If you look at the earnings alone, you would know that Microsoft’s quarter was strong across the board. With that all in mind, MSFT stock does seem like a solid investment.Sure, Microsoft was growing at a healthy rate of 12%-14% for the past few years. Given its gigantic size, investors would love to know if the growth rate is sustainable, or even accelerating this rate. Among them, the highlight would be the revenue for its Intelligent Cloud, which hit $14.6 billion. That represents an increase of 23% from a year ago.This is likely due to more people working from home, and companies transitioning to the cloud to accommodate remote working. Many are expecting the cloud segment to drive Microsoft’s overall growth rate in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":380904463,"gmtCreate":1612499153152,"gmtModify":1704872031955,"author":{"id":"3561105062822231","authorId":"3561105062822231","authorIdStr":"3561105062822231","name":"phanghuiying","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6de359b1f4fa96675ee77832707304","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561105062822231"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice!","listText":"Nice!","text":"Nice!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/380904463","repostId":"2108715201","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3561102963736661","authorId":"3561102963736661","authorIdStr":"3561102963736661","name":"kylerwsm","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a43845a47cc0ce18120e903c1eaffb3f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3561102963736661"},"content":"More water to drink!","text":"More water to drink!","html":"More water to drink!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381856518,"gmtCreate":1612955488034,"gmtModify":1704876477449,"author":{"id":"3561105062822231","authorId":"3561105062822231","authorIdStr":"3561105062822231","name":"phanghuiying","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6de359b1f4fa96675ee77832707304","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561105062822231"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"HMM","listText":"HMM","text":"HMM","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/381856518","repostId":"2110098829","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110098829","pubTimestamp":1612942404,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2110098829?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-10 15:33","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Why did Tesla buy bitcoin?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110098829","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Tesla Inc. has become the latest major corporation to make an investment in bitcoin, underscoring the increasing acceptability of the digital asset.The big question observers are asking is, why is the Elon Musk-run company doing this?Monday, electric-car maker Tesla said in a public filing that it purchased $1.5 billion of bitcoin and that it expects to begin accepting payment in the cryptocurrency for its products in the future.The move by Tesla to invest in bitcoins was seen as further confirm","content":"<p>Tesla Inc. has become the latest major corporation to make an investment in bitcoin, underscoring the increasing acceptability of the digital asset.</p>\n<p>The big question observers are asking is, why is the Elon Musk-run company doing this?</p>\n<p>Monday, electric-car maker&nbsp;Tesla&nbsp;said in&nbsp;a&nbsp;public filing&nbsp;that it purchased $1.5 billion of bitcoin&nbsp;and that it expects to begin accepting payment in the cryptocurrency for its products in the future.</p>\n<p>The move by Tesla to invest in bitcoins was seen as further confirmation of the legitimacy of the nascent asset that didn’t exist until about 12 years ago.</p>\n<p>However, bitcoin is seen as a volatile asset that is prone to sharp price volatility and Monday’s announcement by Tesla was described by some&nbsp;corporate finance professionals&nbsp;as an unnecessary addition of risk to the vehicle maker’s balance sheet in the form of currency or a commodity, depending on how you classify bitcoin.</p>\n<p>While it’s not clear, at this point, why Musk &amp;

Famed investor Bill Miller, founder of Miller Value Partners, in a letter to clients earlier this month published on the firm’s website, reaffirmed his bullish outlook on bitcoin.\nIn other words, Tesla and Musk may be among the biggest to wade into the crypto pool, but a growing cadre of investors are starting to view the volatile digital-ledger-backed cryptos as a bona fide asset.\n“Corporate adoption takes another leap forward with Tesla announcement,” writes Devin Ryan, analyst at JMP Securities in a Monday research note.\nThe researcher, along with fellow analyst Brian McKenna, noted they “believe the building ‘network effect’ around bitcoin is moving the broader crypto asset class into the mainstream, and with many hundreds of billions of dollars of value in infrastructure supporting the asset class, we see the already substantial (and growing) vested interest in its success as bullish for the industry.”\nOn Tuesday, bitcoin touched a record high around $48,000 before pulling back, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average,the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indexes have seen relatively tepid trade on the day.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":430,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":383327410,"gmtCreate":1612841392430,"gmtModify":1704874861954,"author":{"id":"3561105062822231","authorId":"3561105062822231","authorIdStr":"3561105062822231","name":"phanghuiying","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e6de359b1f4fa96675ee77832707304","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561105062822231"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"not relevant at all","listText":"not relevant at all","text":"not relevant at all","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/383327410","repostId":"1190885543","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190885543","pubTimestamp":1612838297,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190885543?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-09 10:38","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Forget About Cars.

It managed about $3.5 billion at the start of the year.\nThe frenetic trading that catapulted GameStop, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and BlackBerry Ltd. into the ranks of the most traded stocks in the U.S. market and captured the attention of the White House and regulators also hit prominent hedge funds Point72 and D1 Capital Partners.\nD1, which ended the month down about 20%, was short AMC and GameStop, said people familiar with the fund. One of the people said D1 had exited both positions by Wednesday morning but that those were small drivers of losses. A more significant factor was shares of travel-related companies declining.\nSome fund managers say the episode is likely to change how the industry works.\nFewer hedge funds are likely to highlight their bearish positions by disclosing put options, they said. Instead, funds may use Securities and Exchange Commission rules to keep confidential those positions, a tool activist investors have long used to build positions in companies quietly. More funds also may institute rules about avoiding thinly traded, heavily shorted stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
