That was followed by an 805% surge the next three weeks, and a 66% drop over the next two weeks.\nAction had been relatively subdued since, until Thursday's 27% dive. Even after that, GameStop stock was up 1,070% year to date through Thursday's close.\nCould GME be inflating SLYV's performance? Certainly, given its quadruple-digit gain. But a look at SLYG's portfolio is interesting. GameStop stock is also the top holding in the growth stock ETF, though the rest of the top 10 differ vastly.\nSecond Meme Stock In Top 10\nPDC Energy, up 130%, saw the next biggest gain in the top 10. The Colorado-based oil and gas explorer has a 97Relative Strength Rating, which mean it's in the top 3% of all stocks. Its relative strength line is at a 52-week high, a bullish sign.\nBed Bath & Beyond, another meme stock, is up 78% this year. Shares surged more than 200% in January, amid a spate of wild double-digit swings. BBBY stock then gave back the bulk of its gains.\nBut the home goods retailer appears to be back on the radar of the WallStreetBets discussion group. On June 2, Bed Bath & Beyond soared 62% before diving 28% the next session.\nThe rest of the top 10 stocks have also outperformed the broader market. Macy's is up 68% year to date, while Resideo, Pacific Premier and Ameris have risen more than 40% each. The lowest gainer, bank holding company First Hawaiian, has advanced 20%.

She appears to be reading it with her eyes closed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186322268,"gmtCreate":1623474680954,"gmtModify":1704204682709,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562642240369858","authorIdStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hopefully people that do have the heart inflammation recover without much issue","listText":"Hopefully people that do have the heart inflammation recover without much issue","text":"Hopefully people that do have the heart inflammation recover without much issue","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/186322268","repostId":"2142024122","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142024122","pubTimestamp":1623437876,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142024122?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-12 02:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Moderna Says No Link Between COVID-19 Jab And Heart Inflammation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142024122","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) says there is no “causal association” between its COVID-19 vaccine and ca","content":"<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1f671326f56d69d77095c4224c4a60a\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Moderna Inc</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ: MRNA) says there is no “causal association” between its COVID-19 vaccine and cases of myocarditis or pericarditis,&nbsp;based on a review of safety data.</p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified 216 cases of heart inflammation after the first dose of an mRNA shot and another 573 cases after the second dose,&nbsp;Bloomberg reported.</p>\n<p>The median age of people with myocarditis or pericarditis following the first dose was 30 and 24 in the second-dose cases.

The methodology, which follows patterns to project when a trend could change course, is popular among crypto traders to spot highs and lows, Cramer said.\nCramer reviewed the daily chart action for bitcoin, which peaked at around $65,000 in mid-April. The digital coin is now trading above $37,300 as of Friday after falling to $30,000 in mid-May.\nDeMark, who said the drop in bitcoin resembles the crash of 1987, projected that the decline could bring the token’s value to a floor of $32,000 — or $24,000 in the worst case. He now thinks that bitcoin will generally hold above the May 19th low, Cramer said.\nIn what’s known as “Black Monday,” the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than 20% on Oct. 19, 1987. It was the bookend of a 36% decline in the blue-chip index from August that year.\n“If DeMark’s right, you could get a chance to buy bitcoin in the not-too-distant future, and I might take it,” Cramer said. “I think this ’87 analogy is good news. After the crash of ’87, the stock market bounced back fast.”\nAs for the S&P 500, which closed at a record for the second-straight day, DeMark’s indicator suggests the index could be close to a top, Cramer said. DeMark has price targets of $4,335 and $4,344, about 2% higher than Friday’s finish.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":347,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181625482,"gmtCreate":1623391568446,"gmtModify":1704202375038,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562642240369858","authorIdStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","listText":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","text":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181625482","repostId":"2142220719","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142220719","pubTimestamp":1623375318,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142220719?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 09:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"China's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142220719","media":"Bloomberg","summary":" -- William Li is being mobbed.

N","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- William Li is being mobbed. At a gala dinner in Shanghai, the founder of Chinese electric carmaker Nio Inc. can barely move forward in the buffet queue before being stopped for another selfie, handshake or hug. Swapping his usual attire of jeans and a T-shirt for a tailored grey suit and blue dress shirt, the tall 46-year-old happily obliges with a smile.</p>\n<p>Li manages to spoon a small amount of fried rice and vegetables onto his plate, but he’s not here for the food. Over the next three hours, Li&nbsp;poses for hundreds more photos, chatting with customers of the automaker&nbsp;he started&nbsp;just over six years ago and has built into a way of life —&nbsp;at least for the people who buy his cars —&nbsp;with clubhouses, a round-the-clock battery recharging service and even clothing, food and exercise equipment, all decked out in Nio’s geometric logo. As Li works the room, a video backdrop shows six performers, each wearing a different-colored Nio hoodie, singing a self-composed song dedicated to the company. “Meeting with Nio, we want to be better selves,’’ the not-so-catchy ditty goes.</p>\n<p>While other billionaire executives may cringe at spending their down time glad-handing customers, for Li this is core. Nio’s&nbsp;business model relies on creating a&nbsp;sense of allegiance among buyers, who then persuade friends and family to spread the word about its&nbsp;cars. Dubbed “Rippling Mode,’’ the strategy invokes the ever-widening circles caused by throwing a single stone into a pond, Li says. The scene in Shanghai was just what he&nbsp;was aiming for: a passionate customer base with the loyalty of Apple Inc. fans&nbsp;—&nbsp;and a dash of Elon Musk cult-of-personality thrown in.</p>\n<p>It’s an approach that’s turned Nio into Musk’s most visible nemesis in a country that seems to be minting&nbsp;Tesla adversaries&nbsp;every other day. While other electric vehicle companies may pump out more cars&nbsp;aimed at the mass market, Nio is targeting the&nbsp;premium buyers that Musk —&nbsp;who established his first Gigafactory outside the U.S. on the outskirts of Shanghai in 2019&nbsp;—&nbsp;needs to realize his ambitions for global growth and long-term profitability. China is ground-zero in the transition away from gas-guzzlers to alternative-energy cars, with the government intent on dominating a new automotive era that has triggered an onslaught of investment over the past six months and that even the U.S. is now embracing.</p>\n<p>The biggest car market on the planet, China is already the world’s largest for EVs. Sales will reach 2 million this year and surge to 6.2 million vehicles by 2025, when they will account for a quarter of all passenger car sales in the country, according to BloombergNEF.</p>\n<p>Urbane, early adopters in China’s biggest cities have been at the heart of that transition, and are prime targets for both Nio and Tesla. Nio’s premium ES6 SUV competes head-to-head with the sporty Model Y that&nbsp;Tesla started making in China last year. It’s a tussle that’s front and center for Li, who in an interview with Bloomberg talked about how the eldest of his two sons, a first grader, wants to follow in his footsteps.</p>\n<p>“One day he told me that he would study hard and work hard, helping dad beat Tesla when he grows up,” said Li. “It’s going to be too late, I said.”</p>\n<p>These days, that prospect is looking less like wishful thinking.</p>\n<p>Nio delivered more than 20,000 vehicles, all of them SUVs,&nbsp;in the first quarter at an average price of $68,000, while Tesla shipped&nbsp;around 17,000 of its Model Y sports utility vehicle in China, which&nbsp;starts at&nbsp;around $53,000.&nbsp;Nio's share of the overall China market for higher end&nbsp;cars is second only to Tesla, according to Kang Jun, an analyst at consultancy LMC Automotive, and it's set a “benchmark”&nbsp;for the wider EV space, “particularly in product and service innovation.”</p>\n<p>Tesla&nbsp;has also faced a raft of setbacks of late in China, which accounted for more than 20% of all revenue last year.

The carmaker holds annual Nio Days,&nbsp;and at the first in 2017 paid for flights and luxury&nbsp;hotels for&nbsp;everyone who&nbsp;ordered a vehicle a year before production started. R&amp;B star Bruno Mars headlined the 2018 event.

By the second quarter of 2019, the company was losing around $5 million a day.</p>\n<p>“It was our darkest time,’’ Li said. A team met nightly to comb through expenses, from salaries to the cost of Nio Houses. “It was easy to calculate how much we could earn from selling cars, but we had to mind for everything to sustain a normal operation,’’ he said. “Every dollar counted.”</p>\n<p>By October 2019, it looked like the gig was up. After posting a worse-than-expected quarterly loss, Nio’s shares plunged to a record low of $1.32. At its nadir, the carmaker had lost more than 70% of its market capitalization —&nbsp;about $5 billion in value&nbsp;—&nbsp;from&nbsp;its New York initial public offering a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Even a $200 million cash injection from a sale of convertible notes to Li and an affiliate of Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. —&nbsp;an early investor in both Nio and Tesla — wasn’t enough to shore up the company’s seemingly insatiable need for cash.</p>\n<p>The setbacks kept coming. Nio couldn’t afford the final payment on an imported&nbsp;stamping presser, a large machine used to shape a car’s panels. Worse, it had to sell the presser at a discount to Tesla, which promptly installed it in its new Shanghai plant, built with loans and support facilitated&nbsp; by the government. Soon after, a deal for as much as 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in funding from a Beijing local government-backed firm fell apart. Analysts started to openly speculate that Nio may be delisted or taken over. The situation got so dire that in late 2019, He Xiaopeng, the engineer founder of Guangzhou-based Xpeng, itself in a tenuous position with just 3 billion yuan in cash, proposed a merger of the two struggling electric carmakers, according to an interview He gave to Chinese state media. Li rejected the offer.</p>\n<p>“Nio was already in the intensive care unit, while Xpeng was waiting outside,’’ Li recalled. “A merger would bury both of us.”</p>\n<p>(Xpeng went on to be the third&nbsp;Chinese EV startup to list in the U.S., raising $1.5 billion in August 2020. The surge of investment in the space has seen its shares more than double, even accounting for a recent dip, and the company is now setting up a third&nbsp;Chinese production base to meet demand.)</p>\n<p>Then came the lifeline that showed the lengths China will go to maintain its ambition of creating a world-leading EV industry.</p>\n<p>In early 2020, the municipal government in Hefei —&nbsp;the capital of Li’s home province of Anhui, about 600 miles southeast of Beijing —&nbsp;came knocking. Despite the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, which initially paralyzed car sales, a deal was struck in which the Hefei government would lead an injection of 10 billion yuan into Nio, more than the company’s entire revenue for 2019.</p>\n<p>Coming just months after Nio said it wouldn’t have enough money to&nbsp; continue operating&nbsp;for another year unless it got more funds, the agreement&nbsp;essentially provided the company with a state-backed security blanket. That can be&nbsp;a key advantage in China, where the government is the biggest player in almost every industry and has a hand in everything from manufacturing permits to access to capital. It&nbsp;could also provide a decisive edge over Tesla, which seems to have lost the favor it enjoyed early on with Beijing, as tensions with Washington continue to simmer under President Joe Biden’s administration.</p>\n<p>For Nio, the quid-pro-quo was supporting local industry. The company abandoned plans to build a factory in Shanghai in early 2019, and instead —&nbsp;unlike Tesla and most traditional automakers —&nbsp;it pays a government-owned manufacturer in Hefei called Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., or JAC, to make its cars. The deal was extended last month&nbsp;for another three years, with JAC agreeing to double monthly capacity to 20,000 vehicles.</p>\n<p>“When William Li brought his proposal to us, most people thought it was fantasy that a Chinese carmaker planned to build first-rate intelligent electric vehicles,’’ former JAC Chairman An Jin said. &nbsp;“I might be the person with the best knowledge of how Nio came along, with all the challenges and difficulties. In its hardest time, William even devoted his own money to solve the problem. That’s how he fought for his dreams.’’</p>\n<p>At an April 7 ceremony to mark the production of Nio’s 100,000th vehicle, Li said he would work with the Hefei government to establish an intelligent-vehicle production base, including an R&amp;D facility. Construction started later that month, and the industrial park is expected to eventually house manufacturing workshops, along with other players in the EV supply chain.</p>\n<p>The Hefei pact,&nbsp;described as a government bailout by Sanford C. Bernstein’s senior analyst Robin Zhu,&nbsp;“put speculation around Nio’s funding issues to bed, at least in the foreseeable future,” he said.</p>\n<p>Li, though, also credits his loyal customer base. “We sold over 8,000 cars in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was pivotal to our survival,’’ he said. “That’s why I always say that our customers saved us. Even if we sold 500 or 1,000 fewer vehicles, that could have triggered a total collapse.’’</p>\n<p>Still, the experience was chastening. Nio cut about a quarter of its workforce, slowed its efforts&nbsp;on autonomous driving, delayed wage payments for managers and spun off some non-core businesses. While the rollout of the costly Nio Houses was suspended for more than a year, the strategy of&nbsp;putting Nio ownership at the center of an owners’ lifestyle and creating an aura of exclusivity, wasn’t forsaken&nbsp;with more modest Nio Spaces&nbsp;rolled out. Usually around 100-200 square meters (1,100-2,150 square feet), Nio Spaces are located in cheaper locales and also sometimes in smaller cities. They&nbsp;cost about 1 million yuan to set up, much less expensive&nbsp;than the more salubrious Nio Houses.</p>\n<p>It seems to have worked —&nbsp;for now. Nio is still yet to turn a profit but&nbsp;its sales have risen steadily since —&nbsp;topping $1 billion for the first time in the three months to Dec. 31, 2020. The company narrowed its net loss in the first quarter of 2021 to 451 million yuan, down from 1.69 billion yuan a year earlier and 1.39 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2020. Even the&nbsp;businesses that underpin Nio’s lifestyle brand are making money, contributing to 1.1 billion yuan in revenue from non-vehicle sales last year,&nbsp;according to the company’s annual report.</p>\n<p>“To enter the car industry and survive isn’t easy,’’ said Jochen Goller, BMW’s China CEO. “Some others have disappeared. I have met with William Li a couple of times and I have to say I am impressed by what he has achieved. Nio is also creating awareness for battery cars, and having the right brands in the segment is helping the market.’’</p>\n<p>The Hefei deal also came around the same time as investors cottoned on to the EV revolution, putting a rocket under Nio’s shares. They surged more than 1,110% last year, besting even the rally that propelled Tesla into the S&amp;P 500 Index. The stock has given up some of those gains since as enthusiasm has eased, but with a market value of $70 billion, Nio is still bigger than Ford Motor Co.</p>\n<p>It’s a long way from Li’s relatively humble beginnings. Raised by his grandparents in a small village in the hills of Anhui, known for farming and —&nbsp;more recently —&nbsp;the automobile industry, Li calls himself one of China’s “first generation of `left-behind’ children’’ because both his parents moved to the neighboring province of Jiangsu&nbsp;to pursue better work. There was no electricity in the village until Li was in his teens.</p>\n<p>While majoring in sociology at Peking University, one of China’s top colleges, Li started his first business —&nbsp;leasing internet servers and helping clients register domain names. The auto industry is where Li has enjoyed his greatest success, however, with the three listed companies he founded in the past 20 years all related to cars. His first, a vehicle-pricing portal called BitAuto Holdings Ltd. was acquired last year by Yiche Holding Ltd. for $2.8 billion, propelling Li’s personal fortune to $7 billion.&nbsp;That was followed by online auto-finance platform Yixin Group Ltd., which listed in Hong Kong in late 2017.</p>\n<p>Then came Nio. In an internal presentation in 2016, Li recalled looking out the window of his apartment at Beijing’s smoggy skies before the birth of his first son, and decided something needed to be done to tackle the country’s chronic pollution. He started Nio in late 2014&nbsp;with funding from a group of well-known investors, including Li Auto founder Li Xiang and Richard Liu, the founder of e-commerce portal JD.com. Xiaomi’s Lei Jun was also an early backer.</p>\n<p>When he’s not dining with super-fans, Li’s workday calendar is packed. On a recent Tuesday at the company’s corporate headquarters —&nbsp;which remain in the slick financial capital of Shanghai —&nbsp;he spent the morning locked in executive committee meetings. In the afternoon, it was more back-to-back meetings with the company’s battery partner, designers, and clients from Europe. In a first, Nio recently announced plans to start selling cars in EV hotbed Norway.</p>\n<p>But while the company is on much firmer ground than&nbsp;18 months ago, questions remain.</p>\n<p>“Auto manufacturing has big economies of scale, and at less than 100,000 units a year, Nio hasn’t yet reached the production volume to realize all of those efficiencies,” said Robert Cowell, an equity analyst at Shanghai-based 86Research.</p>\n<p>Cost issues linger, with the price of raw materials used in batteries, the most expensive part of an EV, including lithium-ion compound, soaring in recent months. Like most global automakers, Nio has also been hit by a worldwide shortage of the chips used increasingly in modern cars, leading to the suspension of production in Hefei for five days at the end of March. And despite the intensifying competition in an industry defined by technological advances and consumers drawn to the next shiny thing, Nio isn’t planning on unveiling any new models until late this year or early 2022.</p>\n<p>Read more: Why Nio Should Resist the Siren Song of Norway</p>\n<p>While Tesla is the main competitor in view, it’s the rivals to come that Li sees as the biggest threat.</p>\n<p>“The final game won’t start until tech giants are in,” he said. In March,&nbsp;Xiaomi unveiled plans to invest about $10 billion in manufacturing EVs, while Huawei has collaborated on at least two cars and is developing autonomous driving technologies.&nbsp;Lurking in the background is the biggest tech giant of all —&nbsp;Apple, which has long harbored ambitions to make its own, self-driving car.</p>\n<p>“I trust companies like Apple for their determination, software development, intelligence capability, and user connection,’’ Li said. “It’s going to be different competition from traditional car companies.”</p>\n<p>But like Musk and other EV evangelists, Li is looking to the long game.&nbsp;“I’m very optimistic,” he said. “By 2030, 90% of the newly launched cars will be electric, or even 95%.”</p>\n<p>For the Nio fans gathered in Shanghai that Sunday evening, that future is already here.</p>\n<p>With&nbsp;the event drawing&nbsp;to a close, owners pose for a large group photo with Li at its center, everyone flashing thumbs up. As the lights dim, Li slips out of the hall and into the night, where his driver —&nbsp;in a white Nio ES8 —&nbsp;waits to take him home.</p>","source":"yahoofinance","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>China's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin</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\">\nChina's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-11 09:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinas-nio-faces-battle-royale-210018096.html><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(Bloomberg) -- William Li is being mobbed.

At a gala dinner in Shanghai, the founder of Chinese electric carmaker Nio Inc. can barely move forward in the buffet queue before being stopped for another selfie, handshake or hug. Swapping his usual attire of jeans and a T-shirt for a tailored grey suit and blue dress shirt, the tall 46-year-old happily obliges with a smile.\nLi manages to spoon a small amount of fried rice and vegetables onto his plate, but he’s not here for the food. Over the next three hours, Li poses for hundreds more photos, chatting with customers of the automaker he started just over six years ago and has built into a way of life — at least for the people who buy his cars — with clubhouses, a round-the-clock battery recharging service and even clothing, food and exercise equipment, all decked out in Nio’s geometric logo. As Li works the room, a video backdrop shows six performers, each wearing a different-colored Nio hoodie, singing a self-composed song dedicated to the company. “Meeting with Nio, we want to be better selves,’’ the not-so-catchy ditty goes.\nWhile other billionaire executives may cringe at spending their down time glad-handing customers, for Li this is core. Nio’s business model relies on creating a sense of allegiance among buyers, who then persuade friends and family to spread the word about its cars. Dubbed “Rippling Mode,’’ the strategy invokes the ever-widening circles caused by throwing a single stone into a pond, Li says. The scene in Shanghai was just what he was aiming for: a passionate customer base with the loyalty of Apple Inc. fans — and a dash of Elon Musk cult-of-personality thrown in.\nIt’s an approach that’s turned Nio into Musk’s most visible nemesis in a country that seems to be minting Tesla adversaries every other day. While other electric vehicle companies may pump out more cars aimed at the mass market, Nio is targeting the premium buyers that Musk — who established his first Gigafactory outside the U.S. on the outskirts of Shanghai in 2019 — needs to realize his ambitions for global growth and long-term profitability. China is ground-zero in the transition away from gas-guzzlers to alternative-energy cars, with the government intent on dominating a new automotive era that has triggered an onslaught of investment over the past six months and that even the U.S. is now embracing.\nThe biggest car market on the planet, China is already the world’s largest for EVs. Sales will reach 2 million this year and surge to 6.2 million vehicles by 2025, when they will account for a quarter of all passenger car sales in the country, according to BloombergNEF.\nUrbane, early adopters in China’s biggest cities have been at the heart of that transition, and are prime targets for both Nio and Tesla. Nio’s premium ES6 SUV competes head-to-head with the sporty Model Y that Tesla started making in China last year. It’s a tussle that’s front and center for Li, who in an interview with Bloomberg talked about how the eldest of his two sons, a first grader, wants to follow in his footsteps.\n“One day he told me that he would study hard and work hard, helping dad beat Tesla when he grows up,” said Li. “It’s going to be too late, I said.”\nThese days, that prospect is looking less like wishful thinking.\nNio delivered more than 20,000 vehicles, all of them SUVs, in the first quarter at an average price of $68,000, while Tesla shipped around 17,000 of its Model Y sports utility vehicle in China, which starts at around $53,000. Nio's share of the overall China market for higher end cars is second only to Tesla, according to Kang Jun, an analyst at consultancy LMC Automotive, and it's set a “benchmark” for the wider EV space, “particularly in product and service innovation.”\nTesla has also faced a raft of setbacks of late in China, which accounted for more than 20% of all revenue last year. Increased scrutiny from local regulators has been accompanied by a rising backlash against Tesla and its cars, culminating in one owner climbing on top of a Model 3 at the recent Shanghai Auto Show, claiming the company failed to address issues with her vehicle’s brakes. The protest, which went viral in China, unleashed a wave of complaints about Tesla’s customer service, the very thing Li — who regularly replies to queries from Nio owners on the company’s app and has taken weekend trips across China to meet customers — has used to differentiate Nio in the cut-throat EV landscape.\nBut Tesla isn’t the only foe Li has to worry about. A Battle Royale is brewing in China’s new energy car market — where retail sales of battery-powered passenger vehicles jumped 10% to 1.11 million last year, despite the hit from the pandemic — one that will challenge both Nio and Tesla, and set the stage for global control over the future of cars.\nAfter years watching from the sidelines, the big auto-making giants are doubling down on EVs, with Volkswagen AG launching an eight-car range from its platform designed for battery electric cars in China, Toyota Motor Corp. unveiling a new EV platform, and premium carmakers like BMW AG aiming for one-quarter of all Chinese sales to be electric. At the same time, Big Tech is eyeing the sector, lured by the technological possibilities. Chinese search-engine titan Baidu Inc. to smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp. and networks giant Huawei Technologies Co. have pledged almost $19 billion into the EV and autonomous driving space since the start of the year alone.\nSmaller companies like Nio — which is listed with compatriots Xpeng Inc. and Li Auto Inc. in New York, putting them on the radar of U.S. investors — will face greater pressure as multinationals enter the fray, said Zhang Xiang, an auto-industry researcher at North China University of Technology in Beijing.\n“It’s by no means a time they can rest easy.”\nNio has already had one near-death experience.\nCarmaking is typically a capital-intensive business, but with Nio, Li has sought to create a brand beyond the vehicles, an approach he describes as “the pursuit of being a user-enterprise.’’ The most visible manifestation of that was the Nio House, an elite drop-in center for the company’s customers — even offering art and music classes for their kids — and located on prime real estate in some of China’s biggest cities. It was coupled with extravagant marketing events. The carmaker holds annual Nio Days, and at the first in 2017 paid for flights and luxury hotels for everyone who ordered a vehicle a year before production started. R&B star Bruno Mars headlined the 2018 event. When its public charging facilities are overwhelmed, Nio has a fleet of cars that can take portable battery chargers to users wherever they’re parked.\nSuch largesse, along with a major recall after some cars caught fire just as China shifted subsidies from EV purchases to support the charging network, saw Nio rack up $5 billion of losses in its first four years of existence (Tesla took about 15 years to reach that particular milestone). By the second quarter of 2019, the company was losing around $5 million a day.\n“It was our darkest time,’’ Li said. A team met nightly to comb through expenses, from salaries to the cost of Nio Houses. “It was easy to calculate how much we could earn from selling cars, but we had to mind for everything to sustain a normal operation,’’ he said. “Every dollar counted.”\nBy October 2019, it looked like the gig was up. After posting a worse-than-expected quarterly loss, Nio’s shares plunged to a record low of $1.32. At its nadir, the carmaker had lost more than 70% of its market capitalization — about $5 billion in value — from its New York initial public offering a year earlier.\nEven a $200 million cash injection from a sale of convertible notes to Li and an affiliate of Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. — an early investor in both Nio and Tesla — wasn’t enough to shore up the company’s seemingly insatiable need for cash.\nThe setbacks kept coming. Nio couldn’t afford the final payment on an imported stamping presser, a large machine used to shape a car’s panels. Worse, it had to sell the presser at a discount to Tesla, which promptly installed it in its new Shanghai plant, built with loans and support facilitated  by the government. Soon after, a deal for as much as 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in funding from a Beijing local government-backed firm fell apart. Analysts started to openly speculate that Nio may be delisted or taken over. The situation got so dire that in late 2019, He Xiaopeng, the engineer founder of Guangzhou-based Xpeng, itself in a tenuous position with just 3 billion yuan in cash, proposed a merger of the two struggling electric carmakers, according to an interview He gave to Chinese state media. Li rejected the offer.\n“Nio was already in the intensive care unit, while Xpeng was waiting outside,’’ Li recalled. “A merger would bury both of us.”\n(Xpeng went on to be the third Chinese EV startup to list in the U.S., raising $1.5 billion in August 2020.

Bernstein’s senior analyst Robin Zhu, “put speculation around Nio’s funding issues to bed, at least in the foreseeable future,” he said.\nLi, though, also credits his loyal customer base. “We sold over 8,000 cars in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was pivotal to our survival,’’ he said. “That’s why I always say that our customers saved us. Even if we sold 500 or 1,000 fewer vehicles, that could have triggered a total collapse.’’\nStill, the experience was chastening. Nio cut about a quarter of its workforce, slowed its efforts on autonomous driving, delayed wage payments for managers and spun off some non-core businesses. While the rollout of the costly Nio Houses was suspended for more than a year, the strategy of putting Nio ownership at the center of an owners’ lifestyle and creating an aura of exclusivity, wasn’t forsaken with more modest Nio Spaces rolled out. Usually around 100-200 square meters (1,100-2,150 square feet), Nio Spaces are located in cheaper locales and also sometimes in smaller cities. They cost about 1 million yuan to set up, much less expensive than the more salubrious Nio Houses.\nIt seems to have worked — for now. Nio is still yet to turn a profit but its sales have risen steadily since — topping $1 billion for the first time in the three months to Dec. 31, 2020. The company narrowed its net loss in the first quarter of 2021 to 451 million yuan, down from 1.69 billion yuan a year earlier and 1.39 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2020. Even the businesses that underpin Nio’s lifestyle brand are making money, contributing to 1.1 billion yuan in revenue from non-vehicle sales last year, according to the company’s annual report.\n“To enter the car industry and survive isn’t easy,’’ said Jochen Goller, BMW’s China CEO. “Some others have disappeared. I have met with William Li a couple of times and I have to say I am impressed by what he has achieved. Nio is also creating awareness for battery cars, and having the right brands in the segment is helping the market.’’\nThe Hefei deal also came around the same time as investors cottoned on to the EV revolution, putting a rocket under Nio’s shares. They surged more than 1,110% last year, besting even the rally that propelled Tesla into the S&P 500 Index. The stock has given up some of those gains since as enthusiasm has eased, but with a market value of $70 billion, Nio is still bigger than Ford Motor Co.\nIt’s a long way from Li’s relatively humble beginnings. Raised by his grandparents in a small village in the hills of Anhui, known for farming and — more recently — the automobile industry, Li calls himself one of China’s “first generation of `left-behind’ children’’ because both his parents moved to the neighboring province of Jiangsu to pursue better work. There was no electricity in the village until Li was in his teens.\nWhile majoring in sociology at Peking University, one of China’s top colleges, Li started his first business — leasing internet servers and helping clients register domain names. The auto industry is where Li has enjoyed his greatest success, however, with the three listed companies he founded in the past 20 years all related to cars. His first, a vehicle-pricing portal called BitAuto Holdings Ltd. was acquired last year by Yiche Holding Ltd. for $2.8 billion, propelling Li’s personal fortune to $7 billion. That was followed by online auto-finance platform Yixin Group Ltd., which listed in Hong Kong in late 2017.\nThen came Nio. In an internal presentation in 2016, Li recalled looking out the window of his apartment at Beijing’s smoggy skies before the birth of his first son, and decided something needed to be done to tackle the country’s chronic pollution. He started Nio in late 2014 with funding from a group of well-known investors, including Li Auto founder Li Xiang and Richard Liu, the founder of e-commerce portal JD.com. Xiaomi’s Lei Jun was also an early backer.\nWhen he’s not dining with super-fans, Li’s workday calendar is packed. On a recent Tuesday at the company’s corporate headquarters — which remain in the slick financial capital of Shanghai — he spent the morning locked in executive committee meetings. In the afternoon, it was more back-to-back meetings with the company’s battery partner, designers, and clients from Europe. In a first, Nio recently announced plans to start selling cars in EV hotbed Norway.\nBut while the company is on much firmer ground than 18 months ago, questions remain.\n“Auto manufacturing has big economies of scale, and at less than 100,000 units a year, Nio hasn’t yet reached the production volume to realize all of those efficiencies,” said Robert Cowell, an equity analyst at Shanghai-based 86Research.\nCost issues linger, with the price of raw materials used in batteries, the most expensive part of an EV, including lithium-ion compound, soaring in recent months. Like most global automakers, Nio has also been hit by a worldwide shortage of the chips used increasingly in modern cars, leading to the suspension of production in Hefei for five days at the end of March. And despite the intensifying competition in an industry defined by technological advances and consumers drawn to the next shiny thing, Nio isn’t planning on unveiling any new models until late this year or early 2022.\nRead more: Why Nio Should Resist the Siren Song of Norway\nWhile Tesla is the main competitor in view, it’s the rivals to come that Li sees as the biggest threat.\n“The final game won’t start until tech giants are in,” he said. In March, Xiaomi unveiled plans to invest about $10 billion in manufacturing EVs, while Huawei has collaborated on at least two cars and is developing autonomous driving technologies. Lurking in the background is the biggest tech giant of all — Apple, which has long harbored ambitions to make its own, self-driving car.\n“I trust companies like Apple for their determination, software development, intelligence capability, and user connection,’’ Li said. “It’s going to be different competition from traditional car companies.”\nBut like Musk and other EV evangelists, Li is looking to the long game. “I’m very optimistic,” he said. “By 2030, 90% of the newly launched cars will be electric, or even 95%.”\nFor the Nio fans gathered in Shanghai that Sunday evening, that future is already here.\nWith the event drawing to a close, owners pose for a large group photo with Li at its center, everyone flashing thumbs up. As the lights dim, Li slips out of the hall and into the night, where his driver — in a white Nio ES8 — waits to take him home.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181626821,"gmtCreate":1623391453363,"gmtModify":1704202371944,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562642240369858","authorIdStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","listText":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","text":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181626821","repostId":"1147547408","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147547408","pubTimestamp":1623377568,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147547408?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 10:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple hires BMW veteran in latest sign of electric car push","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147547408","media":"cnbc","summary":"Applehas hired Ulrich Kranz, a former senior executive atBMWwho focused on electric cars, Apple conf","content":"<div>\n<p>Applehas hired Ulrich Kranz, a former senior executive atBMWwho focused on electric cars, Apple confirmed to CNBC’s Phil LeBeau on Thursday.\nThe hire is the latest sign that Apple is serious about ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/10/apple-hires-bmw-veteran-in-latest-sign-of-electric-car-push.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In 2018, Applehired Doug Field from Tesla, who worked on Tesla’s Model 3. With its expertise in supply chains, battery technology and user experience, Apple would represent a major competitor to existing automakers if it ever releases a car.

But Kranz has extensive experience building teams focused on electric cars.\nBefore joining Apple, Kranz wasa co-founder of Canoo, which is working on a self-driving electric car. At BMW, he led the company’s electric car development program, which resulted in the electric i3 vehicle and a hybrid sports car called the i8, according to Bloomberg,which first reported the hire.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181620138,"gmtCreate":1623391164624,"gmtModify":1704202364632,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562642240369858","authorIdStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","listText":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","text":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181620138","repostId":"1170650480","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170650480","pubTimestamp":1623379387,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170650480?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 10:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Intel is said to have made a $2B takeover offer for chipmaker SiFive","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170650480","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)is said to have offered to purchase SiFive for more than $2B.\nSiFive, a designer o","content":"<ul>\n <li>Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)is said to have offered to purchase SiFive for more than $2B.</li>\n <li>SiFive, a designer of semiconductors, has been talking to its advisors to see how to proceed, according to aBloomberg report, which cited people familiar.

Yet it still ended 2020 awash in an ocean of cash.</p>\n<p>The nation's four largest airlines --American(AAL),Delta(DAL),United(UAL)andSouthwest(LUV)-- among themhad $31.5 billion in cash on their balance sheets at the end of 2020. That's up from $13 billion a year earlier, before the pandemic hit. \"Liquidity\" has become a favorite buzzword of airline executives discussing their financial condition. Including the cash and yet untapped credit lines, the airlines have access tonearly $65 billion.</p>\n<p>\"The liquidity is at record levels,\" said Philip Baggaley, chief credit analyst for the airline industry at Standard &amp; Poor's. \"That's good, and it's one of the few strong points they have at this point.\"</p>\n<p>The airlines received substantial&nbsp;financial help from the federal government, but most of that money was required to be spent keeping staff on payrolls temporarily.</p>\n<p>The lion's shareof the borrowing and cash, then, comes from from banks and Wall Street. Like a struggling family flooded with credit card offers, the airlines have a lot of people eager to give them cash.</p>\n<p>The airlines have&nbsp;sold bonds, borrowed money<b>,</b>mortgaged their planes,frequent flyer programsand other assets, and evensold additional shares of stock, a highly unusual move for an industry in this position.</p>\n<p>The borrowing has added about $40 billion in long-term debt to the balance sheets of the nation's airlines.</p>\n<p>\"I think the general feeling is they're wounded but they're going to make it,\" said Baggaley. The low interest rate environment has helped the airlines, as investors and banks looking for yields have been willing to lend to the airlines, he added. All the carriers except Southwest have junk bond credit ratings.</p>\n<p>They have also made deep cost cuts, even with government help that prevented them from making permanent, involuntary job cuts.</p>\n<p>The airlines used buyouts and early retirement to cut about 16% of the staff they had at the start of 2021. In recent weeks, American and United sent out layoff notices to 27,000 employees between them, saying they could again be furloughed unless there is a third round of government assistance before April 1.</p>\n<p>Many of those employees had been&nbsp;laid off in Octoberwhen the first round of federal payroll support ran out, and were called back to work in December when thesecond Covid relief package&nbsp;provided an additional $17 billion to the industry.

Yet it still ended 2020 awash in an ocean of cash.\nThe nation's four largest airlines --American(AAL),Delta(DAL),United(UAL)andSouthwest(LUV)-- among themhad $31.5 billion in cash on their balance sheets at the end of 2020. That's up from $13 billion a year earlier, before the pandemic hit. \"Liquidity\" has become a favorite buzzword of airline executives discussing their financial condition. Including the cash and yet untapped credit lines, the airlines have access tonearly $65 billion.\n\"The liquidity is at record levels,\" said Philip Baggaley, chief credit analyst for the airline industry at Standard & Poor's. \"That's good, and it's one of the few strong points they have at this point.\"\nThe airlines received substantial financial help from the federal government, but most of that money was required to be spent keeping staff on payrolls temporarily.\nThe lion's shareof the borrowing and cash, then, comes from from banks and Wall Street. Like a struggling family flooded with credit card offers, the airlines have a lot of people eager to give them cash.\nThe airlines have sold bonds, borrowed money,mortgaged their planes,frequent flyer programsand other assets, and evensold additional shares of stock, a highly unusual move for an industry in this position.\nThe borrowing has added about $40 billion in long-term debt to the balance sheets of the nation's airlines.\n\"I think the general feeling is they're wounded but they're going to make it,\" said Baggaley. The low interest rate environment has helped the airlines, as investors and banks looking for yields have been willing to lend to the airlines, he added. All the carriers except Southwest have junk bond credit ratings.\nThey have also made deep cost cuts, even with government help that prevented them from making permanent, involuntary job cuts.\nThe airlines used buyouts and early retirement to cut about 16% of the staff they had at the start of 2021. In recent weeks, American and United sent out layoff notices to 27,000 employees between them, saying they could again be furloughed unless there is a third round of government assistance before April 1.\nMany of those employees had been laid off in Octoberwhen the first round of federal payroll support ran out, and were called back to work in December when thesecond Covid relief package provided an additional $17 billion to the industry. Last week, airline unions were back on Capitol Hill appealing for another round of help to keep their members employed.\nThe cost cuts slashed the rate at which the airlines burned through cash by about half between the second quarter to the fourth quarter last year, even as air travel and revenuesremained a fraction of what they were before the pandemic.\nBut even as they trimmed the pace of cash burn, the four airlines combined blew through $115 million a day over the course of the final nine months of 2020. And they expect to continue burning through cash, albeit at a slower pace, in the first half of 2021.

That has some social-media experts asking if Section 230 harms financial markets. Some say it’s unlikely a lightly moderated forum such as Reddit would even exist without Section 230, let alone allow the sort of speculation and stock promotion that saw GameStop shares rise 1,700% in a matter of days.</p><p>Without the act, “platforms would have to become more responsible -- almost overnight,” said Dipayan Ghosh, a former <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc. official and a White House technology policy adviser in the Obama administration. “And that wouldn’t be a bad thing,” said Ghosh, who is now a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.</p><p>Reddit has lobbied Congress, including the House Energy &amp; Commerce Committee that oversees tech policy, in support of keeping Section 230 intact, according to a person familiar with its efforts. Reddit has only been lobbying for about four years, relying on outside lobbyists. It spent about $200,000 a year in the past three years and $60,000 in 2017, its first year, according to its disclosures.</p><p>In an ironic twist, Section 230 itself was created in part as a response to shady stock schemes. In 1995, the brokerage founded by Jordan Belfort, who was played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” sued an anonymous online bulletin board poster for disparaging Belfort’s firm. The lawsuit included a now-defunct internet service provider, Prodigy, as a defendant because it hosted the forum.</p><p>The judge ruled that Prodigy could be held liable for its users’ content because it had actively sought to moderate the forum, sometimes by taking down posts. Fearing that the ruling would prompt nascent platforms to avoid liability by leaving up all content, lawmakers proposed what eventually became Section 230 in a law that aimed to regulate indecent material online.</p><p>The Reddit rebellion arose from a confluence of the social-media revolution brought about by Section 230, wildly popular apps that allow free stock trades, millions of pandemic-bored retail investors and long-festering antipathy toward Wall Street kingpins.</p><p>Experts say that much of what users of WallStreetBets, the Reddit channel favored by stock traders, have posted doesn’t appear to be illegal. The forum now has more than 8 million users, many of whom spew stock tips, engage in sometimes-juvenile banter and celebrate unbridled greed. None of that is against the law. It’s also not a crime to say that you own stock and think it will continue to rise.</p><p>Unless regulators find violations, Reddit probably won’t need the protection that Section 230 affords, said Eric Goldman, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law. “I haven’t seen any evidence that illegal stock manipulation is taking place on WallStreetBets, though that might still be proven,” Goldman said.</p><p>Still, without the federally protected sandbox of Section 230, Reddit and platforms like it would likely have been unable to grow into the wild-west of free speech that they are, said Ellen Goodman, a professor at Rutgers Law School who has studied online disinformation.</p><p>“If we had less Section 230 immunity, I suspect the platforms would be more engaged and Reddit would have been more engaged in monitoring and slowing down the traffic on WallStreetBets,” Goodman said.</p><p>Just as financial markets include trading halts for volatility, Goodman suggested platforms could take action to slow down viral disinformation when they see it.</p><p>Some industry advocates said the WallStreetBets drama isn’t a good reason to curtail Section 230.</p><p>“Let’s just imagine there is evidence that says someone was attempting to run a pump-and-dump scheme online,” said Matt Schruers, president of the Computer &amp; Communications Industry Association trade group, which counts Facebook and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>, but not Reddit, as members. “Regulators already have the tools that they need to penalize bad actors for engaging in that kind of securities fraud.”</p><p>The GameStop drama was the latest in a series of episodes in which social media users were alleged to have incited risky and dangerous activity, including planning the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection and a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.</p><p>While the GameStop incident didn’t involve threats of violence, and may not have even involved anything illegal, it could still give momentum to bipartisan efforts to increase social-media companies’ responsibility to moderate what users say.</p><p>Illinois Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky, who chairs a House panel on consumer protection, is pushing to tighten Section 230 by forcing companies to police their own terms of service more aggressively. She is also looking at whether there are legal violations amid the WallStreetBets activity that are being protected by the shield, according to an aide familiar with her plans.</p><p>Lawmakers have offered measures to reform the legal shield, including by increasing transparency about how platforms make content decisions and forcing them to remove content deemed illegal by a court. Other proposals would eliminate child abuse material and illegal drug sales.</p><p>Trump frequently attacked Section 230, which he claimed enabled tech companies to shut down conservative speech. His Justice Department issued proposed changes to the law, and his allies introduced a flurry of bills on the issue. He prompted the Federal Communications Commission to prepare rules to limit companies’ ability to deal with political content, although it has since abandoned the effort. Trump also vetoed the annual defense authorization measure because it didn’t include a repeal of Section 230, but Congress overrode him.</p><p>While Wall Street has largely stayed out of the political debate over Section 230, that could change now that its profits are at stake. Increasing internet companies’ liability for user posts could ultimately benefit markets if it leads the platforms to better police their content, said Joshua Mitts, a Columbia Law School professor who studies market manipulation.</p><p>“Liability could be a good thing because it could curtail the situations where scare or euphoria tactics are used to make money,” Mitts said. “If it turns the platforms into more active police, it may be a good thing on balance for our markets.”</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Some say it’s unlikely a lightly moderated forum such as Reddit would even exist without Section 230, let alone allow the sort of speculation and stock promotion that saw GameStop shares rise 1,700% in a matter of days.Without the act, “platforms would have to become more responsible -- almost overnight,” said Dipayan Ghosh, a former Facebook Inc. official and a White House technology policy adviser in the Obama administration. “And that wouldn’t be a bad thing,” said Ghosh, who is now a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.Reddit has lobbied Congress, including the House Energy & Commerce Committee that oversees tech policy, in support of keeping Section 230 intact, according to a person familiar with its efforts. Reddit has only been lobbying for about four years, relying on outside lobbyists. It spent about $200,000 a year in the past three years and $60,000 in 2017, its first year, according to its disclosures.In an ironic twist, Section 230 itself was created in part as a response to shady stock schemes. In 1995, the brokerage founded by Jordan Belfort, who was played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” sued an anonymous online bulletin board poster for disparaging Belfort’s firm. The lawsuit included a now-defunct internet service provider, Prodigy, as a defendant because it hosted the forum.The judge ruled that Prodigy could be held liable for its users’ content because it had actively sought to moderate the forum, sometimes by taking down posts. Fearing that the ruling would prompt nascent platforms to avoid liability by leaving up all content, lawmakers proposed what eventually became Section 230 in a law that aimed to regulate indecent material online.The Reddit rebellion arose from a confluence of the social-media revolution brought about by Section 230, wildly popular apps that allow free stock trades, millions of pandemic-bored retail investors and long-festering antipathy toward Wall Street kingpins.Experts say that much of what users of WallStreetBets, the Reddit channel favored by stock traders, have posted doesn’t appear to be illegal. The forum now has more than 8 million users, many of whom spew stock tips, engage in sometimes-juvenile banter and celebrate unbridled greed. None of that is against the law. It’s also not a crime to say that you own stock and think it will continue to rise.Unless regulators find violations, Reddit probably won’t need the protection that Section 230 affords, said Eric Goldman, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law. “I haven’t seen any evidence that illegal stock manipulation is taking place on WallStreetBets, though that might still be proven,” Goldman said.Still, without the federally protected sandbox of Section 230, Reddit and platforms like it would likely have been unable to grow into the wild-west of free speech that they are, said Ellen Goodman, a professor at Rutgers Law School who has studied online disinformation.“If we had less Section 230 immunity, I suspect the platforms would be more engaged and Reddit would have been more engaged in monitoring and slowing down the traffic on WallStreetBets,” Goodman said.Just as financial markets include trading halts for volatility, Goodman suggested platforms could take action to slow down viral disinformation when they see it.Some industry advocates said the WallStreetBets drama isn’t a good reason to curtail Section 230.“Let’s just imagine there is evidence that says someone was attempting to run a pump-and-dump scheme online,” said Matt Schruers, president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association trade group, which counts Facebook and Twitter, but not Reddit, as members. “Regulators already have the tools that they need to penalize bad actors for engaging in that kind of securities fraud.”The GameStop drama was the latest in a series of episodes in which social media users were alleged to have incited risky and dangerous activity, including planning the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection and a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.While the GameStop incident didn’t involve threats of violence, and may not have even involved anything illegal, it could still give momentum to bipartisan efforts to increase social-media companies’ responsibility to moderate what users say.Illinois Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky, who chairs a House panel on consumer protection, is pushing to tighten Section 230 by forcing companies to police their own terms of service more aggressively. She is also looking at whether there are legal violations amid the WallStreetBets activity that are being protected by the shield, according to an aide familiar with her plans.Lawmakers have offered measures to reform the legal shield, including by increasing transparency about how platforms make content decisions and forcing them to remove content deemed illegal by a court. Other proposals would eliminate child abuse material and illegal drug sales.Trump frequently attacked Section 230, which he claimed enabled tech companies to shut down conservative speech. His Justice Department issued proposed changes to the law, and his allies introduced a flurry of bills on the issue. He prompted the Federal Communications Commission to prepare rules to limit companies’ ability to deal with political content, although it has since abandoned the effort. Trump also vetoed the annual defense authorization measure because it didn’t include a repeal of Section 230, but Congress overrode him.While Wall Street has largely stayed out of the political debate over Section 230, that could change now that its profits are at stake. Increasing internet companies’ liability for user posts could ultimately benefit markets if it leads the platforms to better police their content, said Joshua Mitts, a Columbia Law School professor who studies market manipulation.“Liability could be a good thing because it could curtail the situations where scare or euphoria tactics are used to make money,” Mitts said. “If it turns the platforms into more active police, it may be a good thing on balance for our markets.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":11,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":317598501,"gmtCreate":1612453665503,"gmtModify":1704871510159,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562642240369858","authorIdStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Elon is the biggest market mover","listText":"Elon is the biggest market mover","text":"Elon is the biggest market mover","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/317598501","repostId":"1180680925","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180680925","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1612433405,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180680925?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-04 18:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk, back on Twitter, turns his support to Dogecoin","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180680925","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency Dogecoin surged more than 50% on Thursday after billionaire entrep","content":"<p>LONDON (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency Dogecoin surged more than 50% on Thursday after billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted his support for it, two days after he said he was to take a break from Twitter “for a while”.</p>\n<p>Dogecoin jumped to $0.05798 according to data on blockchain and cryptocurrency website Coindesk.

The company is a critical supplier to U.S. technology giants likeApple(AAPL) andQualcomm(QCOM) and Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies. TSMC’s stock is widely held across the globe, and for good reason. It has returned an annualized 29% over the past decade.</p>\n<p>But TSMC shares are now caught up in a rare correction. The stock is down 15% since mid-February. Investors should avoid the temptation to buy on the dip, at least for now. A confluence of factors could make the next couple of quarters bumpy enough to give long-term investors a chance to scoop up shares of the tech juggernaut at an even cheaper price.</p>\n<p>To be sure, the long-term opportunity hasn’t changed. If oil was the crucial commodity of the past,semiconductors are the critical commodity of the future—and TSMC is a leader in making the advanced chips needed for 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Founded in 1987, the Taiwanese company accounts for roughly 60% of outsourced chip manufacturing and 90% of the profits. TSMC has made significant investment in its foundries, helping it manufacture ever-denser chips that generate more power while using less energy. RivalIntel(INTC) has struggled to match that success.</p>\n<p>Even the lone analyst with a Sell rating on TSMC stock sings the company’s praises: “This is an A-plus company with solid management,” says Mehdi Hosseini, senior equity analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, who has covered TSMC for more than 20 years. But Hosseini says he can’t ignore the near-term challenges and the pricey stock.</p>\n<p>Despite the recent selloff, TSMC shares are still up 110% over the past 12 months, and they trade at 27 times earnings estimates for the next 12 months, well above the stock’s five-year average of 19.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f343f4fd4554dcc3a5fc6842713fd34c\" tg-width=\"685\" tg-height=\"429\">That elevated multiple doesn’t offer much cushion if and when challenges arise. Some money managers caution that near-term demand may not live up to analysts’ rosy forecasts for the next couple of quarters. Also, increased spending by TSMC and its rivals to meet a surge in demand could dent profit margins.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions put Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that China considers a province, and its most important company in a fraught position.</p>\n<p>Daiwa Capital Markets analyst Rick Hsu is concerned that the chip shortage—which has hobbled automotive plants and sent gamers scrambling to find new consoles—could create inventory-related issues in the first half of 2022.</p>\n<p>Hsu told<i>Barron’s</i>in an email that TSMC’s stock needs to shed another 15%, to about $100, to adequately reflect the current risk profile. The stock recently closed at $118.</p>\n<p>Lackluster demand related to smartphones, which accounts for 45% of revenue, could also lead to disappointment. With TSMC profit margins already near a peak, future growth will require a boost in sales. That could be challenging in the near term. Apple’s iPhone 13 is unlikely to offer a major catalyst, while Chinese smartphone vendors don’t currently have the killer app needed to drive upgrades, Hosseini says.</p>\n<p>“You can’t just give it multiple expansion because it’s a great company. You need earnings power,” Hosseini says, noting that the company trades at a significant premium to theS&amp;P 500 index.He has a price target of $85, putting him far outside the consensus. Wall Street’s average price target on TSMC is $141.</p>\n<p>Analysts, on average, expect TSMC’s earnings to increase 14% to $4.06 a share this year, and 16% to $4.69 a share next year, with revenue growing 16% to $55.8 billion this year, and another 16% next year.</p>\n<p><b>Chips on the Table</b></p>\n<p>Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing have returned an annual average of 25% over the last decade.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5615dee32fa47048e8747447b01257c9\" tg-width=\"663\" tg-height=\"272\"></p>\n<p>In April, TSMC CEO C.C. Wei told investors of a structural increase in demand, with megatrends around 5G and high-performance computing applications fueling strong demand for several years to come.</p>\n<p>Even so, Wall Street’s estimates may be too optimistic, says Laura Geritz, CEO of Rondure Global Advisors, which owns TSMC shares.

The company is a critical supplier to U.S. technology giants likeApple(AAPL) andQualcomm(QCOM) and Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies. TSMC’s stock is widely held across the globe, and for good reason. It has returned an annualized 29% over the past decade.\nBut TSMC shares are now caught up in a rare correction. The stock is down 15% since mid-February. Investors should avoid the temptation to buy on the dip, at least for now. A confluence of factors could make the next couple of quarters bumpy enough to give long-term investors a chance to scoop up shares of the tech juggernaut at an even cheaper price.\nTo be sure, the long-term opportunity hasn’t changed. If oil was the crucial commodity of the past,semiconductors are the critical commodity of the future—and TSMC is a leader in making the advanced chips needed for 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and electric vehicles.\nFounded in 1987, the Taiwanese company accounts for roughly 60% of outsourced chip manufacturing and 90% of the profits. TSMC has made significant investment in its foundries, helping it manufacture ever-denser chips that generate more power while using less energy. RivalIntel(INTC) has struggled to match that success.\nEven the lone analyst with a Sell rating on TSMC stock sings the company’s praises: “This is an A-plus company with solid management,” says Mehdi Hosseini, senior equity analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, who has covered TSMC for more than 20 years. But Hosseini says he can’t ignore the near-term challenges and the pricey stock.\nDespite the recent selloff, TSMC shares are still up 110% over the past 12 months, and they trade at 27 times earnings estimates for the next 12 months, well above the stock’s five-year average of 19.\nThat elevated multiple doesn’t offer much cushion if and when challenges arise. Some money managers caution that near-term demand may not live up to analysts’ rosy forecasts for the next couple of quarters. Also, increased spending by TSMC and its rivals to meet a surge in demand could dent profit margins.\nMeanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions put Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy that China considers a province, and its most important company in a fraught position.\nDaiwa Capital Markets analyst Rick Hsu is concerned that the chip shortage—which has hobbled automotive plants and sent gamers scrambling to find new consoles—could create inventory-related issues in the first half of 2022.\nHsu toldBarron’sin an email that TSMC’s stock needs to shed another 15%, to about $100, to adequately reflect the current risk profile. The stock recently closed at $118.\nLackluster demand related to smartphones, which accounts for 45% of revenue, could also lead to disappointment. With TSMC profit margins already near a peak, future growth will require a boost in sales. That could be challenging in the near term. Apple’s iPhone 13 is unlikely to offer a major catalyst, while Chinese smartphone vendors don’t currently have the killer app needed to drive upgrades, Hosseini says.\n“You can’t just give it multiple expansion because it’s a great company. You need earnings power,” Hosseini says, noting that the company trades at a significant premium to theS&P 500 index.He has a price target of $85, putting him far outside the consensus. Wall Street’s average price target on TSMC is $141.\nAnalysts, on average, expect TSMC’s earnings to increase 14% to $4.06 a share this year, and 16% to $4.69 a share next year, with revenue growing 16% to $55.8 billion this year, and another 16% next year.\nChips on the Table\nShares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing have returned an annual average of 25% over the last decade.\n\nIn April, TSMC CEO C.C. Wei told investors of a structural increase in demand, with megatrends around 5G and high-performance computing applications fueling strong demand for several years to come.\nEven so, Wall Street’s estimates may be too optimistic, says Laura Geritz, CEO of Rondure Global Advisors, which owns TSMC shares. She notes that growth at the company was boosted last year as quarantined families loaded up on PCs, gadgets, gaming consoles, and home appliances, all of which require more and more chips.\nThose buying patterns could quickly change as the pandemic eases and central banks begin to taper their support of the economy.\n“I think you will get a better shot,” Geritz says of buying TSMC stock. “It’s expensive when you strip away what could be fiscal and stay-at-home economics.”\nOne of the reasons that investors are drawn to TSMC is its deep and impressive list of customers. But that advantage is becoming increasingly costly to maintain as companies—and governments—push for more geographically diverse supply chains.\nIn the U.S., the Senate just passed a sweeping $250 billion China package that includes funding and incentives for producing more chips closer to home, along with calls for increased funding of research and development more broadly to help the U.S. maintain its technological edge against China.\nThe Biden administration just completed a supply-chain review of critical materials—such as chips—and is pushing to spur more production at home and make the U.S. less vulnerable to global supply-chain disruptions.\nThe industry is already reacting.

How to quantify TSMC’s China risk keeps money managers up at night. They say that a military conflict between China and Taiwan is an all-bets-are-off event that would rattle entire markets, not just TSMC stock.\nTSMC declined to comment on politics beyond stating that it was a “law-abiding company” focused on serving its customers.\nThe risks don’t change the fact that semiconductors have never been more important.\n“Valuations in quality growth names such as TSMC have clearly gone up, in part because demand for semiconductors is elevated, while at the same time there is quite a serious shortage of them,” says Martin Lau, managing partner at $37 billion FSSA Investment Managers, which is focused on Asia-Pacific and emerging market strategies.\nAnd yet, “cyclically, this is not the best time to buy TSMC, and the near-term margin of safety has fallen,” he adds. “We remain positive in the longer term.”\nInvestors just have to pick the right entry point.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":422,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182343628,"gmtCreate":1623555433364,"gmtModify":1704206053520,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Meme yes or nayy&nbsp;","listText":"Meme yes or nayy&nbsp;","text":"Meme yes or nayy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182343628","repostId":"1185020128","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185020128","pubTimestamp":1623537503,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185020128?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-13 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meme Stock Soars 1,000% To Lead These Two Top Small Cap Stock Plays","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185020128","media":"investors","summary":"GameStop may be the top holding in SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value, but that's not the only reason the ","content":"<p>GameStop may be the top holding in SPDR S&amp;P 600 Small Cap Value, but that's not the only reason the ETF is beating its growth-stock counterpart.</p>\n<p>The $4.2 billion value fund tracks the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Value Index (SLYV), composed of stocks with the strongest value traits based on book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio.

Information technology was next at 8% and materials, energy and health care, 6% each. Smaller positions in consumer staples, utilities and communication services made up the rest.\nSPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value is in IBD's ETF Leaders, but SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth is not.\nGameStop Stock Leads\nGameStop(GME),Macy's(M),PDC Energy(PDCE),Resideo Technologies(REZI) andBankUnited(BKU) were the top five holdings as of Wednesday.\nPacific Premier Bancorp(PPBI),Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY),Ameris Bancorp(ABCB),First Hawaiian(FHB) andInsight Enterprises(NSIT) rounded out the top 10.\nGameStop has undergone wide swings this year. It rocketed about 2,500% early this year amid theshort-squeeze rallyfueled by the Reddit/WallStreetBets crowd.GME stockthen crashed 92% from a Jan. 28 high to its mid-February low. That was followed by an 805% surge the next three weeks, and a 66% drop over the next two weeks.\nAction had been relatively subdued since, until Thursday's 27% dive. Even after that, GameStop stock was up 1,070% year to date through Thursday's close.\nCould GME be inflating SLYV's performance? Certainly, given its quadruple-digit gain. But a look at SLYG's portfolio is interesting. GameStop stock is also the top holding in the growth stock ETF, though the rest of the top 10 differ vastly.\nSecond Meme Stock In Top 10\nPDC Energy, up 130%, saw the next biggest gain in the top 10. The Colorado-based oil and gas explorer has a 97Relative Strength Rating, which mean it's in the top 3% of all stocks. Its relative strength line is at a 52-week high, a bullish sign.\nBed Bath & Beyond, another meme stock, is up 78% this year. Shares surged more than 200% in January, amid a spate of wild double-digit swings. BBBY stock then gave back the bulk of its gains.\nBut the home goods retailer appears to be back on the radar of the WallStreetBets discussion group. On June 2, Bed Bath & Beyond soared 62% before diving 28% the next session.\nThe rest of the top 10 stocks have also outperformed the broader market. Macy's is up 68% year to date, while Resideo, Pacific Premier and Ameris have risen more than 40% each. The lowest gainer, bank holding company First Hawaiian, has advanced 20%. The S&P 500 held a 13% gain through Thursday's close.\nSLYV remains in potential buy range from an 87.29entryof acup with handle, according toMarketSmithchart analysis. SLYV and SLYG charge a 0.15% expense ratio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":344,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186324194,"gmtCreate":1623474744018,"gmtModify":1704204684816,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Best to limit your risk","listText":"Best to limit your risk","text":"Best to limit your risk","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/186324194","repostId":"1147474880","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147474880","pubTimestamp":1623470168,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147474880?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-12 11:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Investor, Trader, Speculator: Which One Are You?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147474880","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Understanding the difference between speculation and investing is essential to avoiding reckless ris","content":"<blockquote>\n Understanding the difference between speculation and investing is essential to avoiding reckless risk.\n</blockquote>\n<p>I’ve had it.</p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal is wrong, and has remained wrong for decades, about one of the most basic distinctions in finance.

The methodology, which follows patterns to project when a trend could change course, is popular among crypto traders to spot highs and lows, Cramer said.\nCramer reviewed the daily chart action for bitcoin, which peaked at around $65,000 in mid-April. The digital coin is now trading above $37,300 as of Friday after falling to $30,000 in mid-May.\nDeMark, who said the drop in bitcoin resembles the crash of 1987, projected that the decline could bring the token’s value to a floor of $32,000 — or $24,000 in the worst case. He now thinks that bitcoin will generally hold above the May 19th low, Cramer said.\nIn what’s known as “Black Monday,” the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than 20% on Oct. 19, 1987. It was the bookend of a 36% decline in the blue-chip index from August that year.\n“If DeMark’s right, you could get a chance to buy bitcoin in the not-too-distant future, and I might take it,” Cramer said. “I think this ’87 analogy is good news. After the crash of ’87, the stock market bounced back fast.”\nAs for the S&P 500, which closed at a record for the second-straight day, DeMark’s indicator suggests the index could be close to a top, Cramer said. DeMark has price targets of $4,335 and $4,344, about 2% higher than Friday’s finish.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":347,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181625482,"gmtCreate":1623391568446,"gmtModify":1704202375038,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","listText":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","text":"It is a competitive space but I believe it can fitmore than 1 player","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181625482","repostId":"2142220719","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142220719","pubTimestamp":1623375318,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142220719?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 09:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"China's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142220719","media":"Bloomberg","summary":" -- William Li is being mobbed.

N","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- William Li is being mobbed. At a gala dinner in Shanghai, the founder of Chinese electric carmaker Nio Inc. can barely move forward in the buffet queue before being stopped for another selfie, handshake or hug. Swapping his usual attire of jeans and a T-shirt for a tailored grey suit and blue dress shirt, the tall 46-year-old happily obliges with a smile.</p>\n<p>Li manages to spoon a small amount of fried rice and vegetables onto his plate, but he’s not here for the food. Over the next three hours, Li&nbsp;poses for hundreds more photos, chatting with customers of the automaker&nbsp;he started&nbsp;just over six years ago and has built into a way of life —&nbsp;at least for the people who buy his cars —&nbsp;with clubhouses, a round-the-clock battery recharging service and even clothing, food and exercise equipment, all decked out in Nio’s geometric logo. As Li works the room, a video backdrop shows six performers, each wearing a different-colored Nio hoodie, singing a self-composed song dedicated to the company. “Meeting with Nio, we want to be better selves,’’ the not-so-catchy ditty goes.</p>\n<p>While other billionaire executives may cringe at spending their down time glad-handing customers, for Li this is core. Nio’s&nbsp;business model relies on creating a&nbsp;sense of allegiance among buyers, who then persuade friends and family to spread the word about its&nbsp;cars. Dubbed “Rippling Mode,’’ the strategy invokes the ever-widening circles caused by throwing a single stone into a pond, Li says. The scene in Shanghai was just what he&nbsp;was aiming for: a passionate customer base with the loyalty of Apple Inc. fans&nbsp;—&nbsp;and a dash of Elon Musk cult-of-personality thrown in.</p>\n<p>It’s an approach that’s turned Nio into Musk’s most visible nemesis in a country that seems to be minting&nbsp;Tesla adversaries&nbsp;every other day. While other electric vehicle companies may pump out more cars&nbsp;aimed at the mass market, Nio is targeting the&nbsp;premium buyers that Musk —&nbsp;who established his first Gigafactory outside the U.S. on the outskirts of Shanghai in 2019&nbsp;—&nbsp;needs to realize his ambitions for global growth and long-term profitability. China is ground-zero in the transition away from gas-guzzlers to alternative-energy cars, with the government intent on dominating a new automotive era that has triggered an onslaught of investment over the past six months and that even the U.S. is now embracing.</p>\n<p>The biggest car market on the planet, China is already the world’s largest for EVs. Sales will reach 2 million this year and surge to 6.2 million vehicles by 2025, when they will account for a quarter of all passenger car sales in the country, according to BloombergNEF.</p>\n<p>Urbane, early adopters in China’s biggest cities have been at the heart of that transition, and are prime targets for both Nio and Tesla. Nio’s premium ES6 SUV competes head-to-head with the sporty Model Y that&nbsp;Tesla started making in China last year. It’s a tussle that’s front and center for Li, who in an interview with Bloomberg talked about how the eldest of his two sons, a first grader, wants to follow in his footsteps.</p>\n<p>“One day he told me that he would study hard and work hard, helping dad beat Tesla when he grows up,” said Li. “It’s going to be too late, I said.”</p>\n<p>These days, that prospect is looking less like wishful thinking.</p>\n<p>Nio delivered more than 20,000 vehicles, all of them SUVs,&nbsp;in the first quarter at an average price of $68,000, while Tesla shipped&nbsp;around 17,000 of its Model Y sports utility vehicle in China, which&nbsp;starts at&nbsp;around $53,000.&nbsp;Nio's share of the overall China market for higher end&nbsp;cars is second only to Tesla, according to Kang Jun, an analyst at consultancy LMC Automotive, and it's set a “benchmark”&nbsp;for the wider EV space, “particularly in product and service innovation.”</p>\n<p>Tesla&nbsp;has also faced a raft of setbacks of late in China, which accounted for more than 20% of all revenue last year. Increased scrutiny from local regulators has been accompanied by a rising backlash against Tesla and its cars, culminating in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> owner climbing on top of a Model 3 at the recent Shanghai Auto Show, claiming the company failed to address issues with her vehicle’s brakes.

At the same time, Big Tech is eyeing the sector, lured by the technological possibilities.

It was coupled with extravagant marketing events. The carmaker holds annual Nio Days,&nbsp;and at the first in 2017 paid for flights and luxury&nbsp;hotels for&nbsp;everyone who&nbsp;ordered a vehicle a year before production started. R&amp;B star Bruno Mars headlined the 2018 event. When its public charging facilities are&nbsp;overwhelmed, Nio has&nbsp;a fleet of cars that can&nbsp;take portable battery chargers to users wherever they’re&nbsp;parked.</p>\n<p>Such largesse, along with a&nbsp;major recall&nbsp;after some cars caught fire&nbsp;just&nbsp;as China shifted subsidies from EV purchases to support the charging network, saw Nio rack up $5 billion of losses in its first four years of existence (Tesla took about 15 years to reach that particular milestone). By the second quarter of 2019, the company was losing around $5 million a day.</p>\n<p>“It was our darkest time,’’ Li said. A team met nightly to comb through expenses, from salaries to the cost of Nio Houses. “It was easy to calculate how much we could earn from selling cars, but we had to mind for everything to sustain a normal operation,’’ he said. “Every dollar counted.”</p>\n<p>By October 2019, it looked like the gig was up. After posting a worse-than-expected quarterly loss, Nio’s shares plunged to a record low of $1.32. At its nadir, the carmaker had lost more than 70% of its market capitalization —&nbsp;about $5 billion in value&nbsp;—&nbsp;from&nbsp;its New York initial public offering a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Even a $200 million cash injection from a sale of convertible notes to Li and an affiliate of Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. —&nbsp;an early investor in both Nio and Tesla — wasn’t enough to shore up the company’s seemingly insatiable need for cash.</p>\n<p>The setbacks kept coming. Nio couldn’t afford the final payment on an imported&nbsp;stamping presser, a large machine used to shape a car’s panels. Worse, it had to sell the presser at a discount to Tesla, which promptly installed it in its new Shanghai plant, built with loans and support facilitated&nbsp; by the government. Soon after, a deal for as much as 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in funding from a Beijing local government-backed firm fell apart. Analysts started to openly speculate that Nio may be delisted or taken over. The situation got so dire that in late 2019, He Xiaopeng, the engineer founder of Guangzhou-based Xpeng, itself in a tenuous position with just 3 billion yuan in cash, proposed a merger of the two struggling electric carmakers, according to an interview He gave to Chinese state media. Li rejected the offer.</p>\n<p>“Nio was already in the intensive care unit, while Xpeng was waiting outside,’’ Li recalled. “A merger would bury both of us.”</p>\n<p>(Xpeng went on to be the third&nbsp;Chinese EV startup to list in the U.S., raising $1.5 billion in August 2020. The surge of investment in the space has seen its shares more than double, even accounting for a recent dip, and the company is now setting up a third&nbsp;Chinese production base to meet demand.)</p>\n<p>Then came the lifeline that showed the lengths China will go to maintain its ambition of creating a world-leading EV industry.</p>\n<p>In early 2020, the municipal government in Hefei —&nbsp;the capital of Li’s home province of Anhui, about 600 miles southeast of Beijing —&nbsp;came knocking. Despite the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, which initially paralyzed car sales, a deal was struck in which the Hefei government would lead an injection of 10 billion yuan into Nio, more than the company’s entire revenue for 2019.</p>\n<p>Coming just months after Nio said it wouldn’t have enough money to&nbsp; continue operating&nbsp;for another year unless it got more funds, the agreement&nbsp;essentially provided the company with a state-backed security blanket. That can be&nbsp;a key advantage in China, where the government is the biggest player in almost every industry and has a hand in everything from manufacturing permits to access to capital. It&nbsp;could also provide a decisive edge over Tesla, which seems to have lost the favor it enjoyed early on with Beijing, as tensions with Washington continue to simmer under President Joe Biden’s administration.</p>\n<p>For Nio, the quid-pro-quo was supporting local industry. The company abandoned plans to build a factory in Shanghai in early 2019, and instead —&nbsp;unlike Tesla and most traditional automakers —&nbsp;it pays a government-owned manufacturer in Hefei called Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., or JAC, to make its cars. The deal was extended last month&nbsp;for another three years, with JAC agreeing to double monthly capacity to 20,000 vehicles.</p>\n<p>“When William Li brought his proposal to us, most people thought it was fantasy that a Chinese carmaker planned to build first-rate intelligent electric vehicles,’’ former JAC Chairman An Jin said. &nbsp;“I might be the person with the best knowledge of how Nio came along, with all the challenges and difficulties. In its hardest time, William even devoted his own money to solve the problem. That’s how he fought for his dreams.’’</p>\n<p>At an April 7 ceremony to mark the production of Nio’s 100,000th vehicle, Li said he would work with the Hefei government to establish an intelligent-vehicle production base, including an R&amp;D facility. Construction started later that month, and the industrial park is expected to eventually house manufacturing workshops, along with other players in the EV supply chain.</p>\n<p>The Hefei pact,&nbsp;described as a government bailout by Sanford C. Bernstein’s senior analyst Robin Zhu,&nbsp;“put speculation around Nio’s funding issues to bed, at least in the foreseeable future,” he said.</p>\n<p>Li, though, also credits his loyal customer base. “We sold over 8,000 cars in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was pivotal to our survival,’’ he said. “That’s why I always say that our customers saved us. Even if we sold 500 or 1,000 fewer vehicles, that could have triggered a total collapse.’’</p>\n<p>Still, the experience was chastening. Nio cut about a quarter of its workforce, slowed its efforts&nbsp;on autonomous driving, delayed wage payments for managers and spun off some non-core businesses. While the rollout of the costly Nio Houses was suspended for more than a year, the strategy of&nbsp;putting Nio ownership at the center of an owners’ lifestyle and creating an aura of exclusivity, wasn’t forsaken&nbsp;with more modest Nio Spaces&nbsp;rolled out. Usually around 100-200 square meters (1,100-2,150 square feet), Nio Spaces are located in cheaper locales and also sometimes in smaller cities. They&nbsp;cost about 1 million yuan to set up, much less expensive&nbsp;than the more salubrious Nio Houses.</p>\n<p>It seems to have worked —&nbsp;for now. Nio is still yet to turn a profit but&nbsp;its sales have risen steadily since —&nbsp;topping $1 billion for the first time in the three months to Dec. 31, 2020. The company narrowed its net loss in the first quarter of 2021 to 451 million yuan, down from 1.69 billion yuan a year earlier and 1.39 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2020. Even the&nbsp;businesses that underpin Nio’s lifestyle brand are making money, contributing to 1.1 billion yuan in revenue from non-vehicle sales last year,&nbsp;according to the company’s annual report.</p>\n<p>“To enter the car industry and survive isn’t easy,’’ said Jochen Goller, BMW’s China CEO. “Some others have disappeared. I have met with William Li a couple of times and I have to say I am impressed by what he has achieved. Nio is also creating awareness for battery cars, and having the right brands in the segment is helping the market.’’</p>\n<p>The Hefei deal also came around the same time as investors cottoned on to the EV revolution, putting a rocket under Nio’s shares. They surged more than 1,110% last year, besting even the rally that propelled Tesla into the S&amp;P 500 Index. The stock has given up some of those gains since as enthusiasm has eased, but with a market value of $70 billion, Nio is still bigger than Ford Motor Co.</p>\n<p>It’s a long way from Li’s relatively humble beginnings. Raised by his grandparents in a small village in the hills of Anhui, known for farming and —&nbsp;more recently —&nbsp;the automobile industry, Li calls himself one of China’s “first generation of `left-behind’ children’’ because both his parents moved to the neighboring province of Jiangsu&nbsp;to pursue better work. There was no electricity in the village until Li was in his teens.</p>\n<p>While majoring in sociology at Peking University, one of China’s top colleges, Li started his first business —&nbsp;leasing internet servers and helping clients register domain names. The auto industry is where Li has enjoyed his greatest success, however, with the three listed companies he founded in the past 20 years all related to cars. His first, a vehicle-pricing portal called BitAuto Holdings Ltd. was acquired last year by Yiche Holding Ltd. for $2.8 billion, propelling Li’s personal fortune to $7 billion.&nbsp;That was followed by online auto-finance platform Yixin Group Ltd., which listed in Hong Kong in late 2017.</p>\n<p>Then came Nio. In an internal presentation in 2016, Li recalled looking out the window of his apartment at Beijing’s smoggy skies before the birth of his first son, and decided something needed to be done to tackle the country’s chronic pollution. He started Nio in late 2014&nbsp;with funding from a group of well-known investors, including Li Auto founder Li Xiang and Richard Liu, the founder of e-commerce portal JD.com. Xiaomi’s Lei Jun was also an early backer.</p>\n<p>When he’s not dining with super-fans, Li’s workday calendar is packed. On a recent Tuesday at the company’s corporate headquarters —&nbsp;which remain in the slick financial capital of Shanghai —&nbsp;he spent the morning locked in executive committee meetings. In the afternoon, it was more back-to-back meetings with the company’s battery partner, designers, and clients from Europe. In a first, Nio recently announced plans to start selling cars in EV hotbed Norway.</p>\n<p>But while the company is on much firmer ground than&nbsp;18 months ago, questions remain.</p>\n<p>“Auto manufacturing has big economies of scale, and at less than 100,000 units a year, Nio hasn’t yet reached the production volume to realize all of those efficiencies,” said Robert Cowell, an equity analyst at Shanghai-based 86Research.</p>\n<p>Cost issues linger, with the price of raw materials used in batteries, the most expensive part of an EV, including lithium-ion compound, soaring in recent months. Like most global automakers, Nio has also been hit by a worldwide shortage of the chips used increasingly in modern cars, leading to the suspension of production in Hefei for five days at the end of March. And despite the intensifying competition in an industry defined by technological advances and consumers drawn to the next shiny thing, Nio isn’t planning on unveiling any new models until late this year or early 2022.</p>\n<p>Read more: Why Nio Should Resist the Siren Song of Norway</p>\n<p>While Tesla is the main competitor in view, it’s the rivals to come that Li sees as the biggest threat.</p>\n<p>“The final game won’t start until tech giants are in,” he said. In March,&nbsp;Xiaomi unveiled plans to invest about $10 billion in manufacturing EVs, while Huawei has collaborated on at least two cars and is developing autonomous driving technologies.&nbsp;Lurking in the background is the biggest tech giant of all —&nbsp;Apple, which has long harbored ambitions to make its own, self-driving car.</p>\n<p>“I trust companies like Apple for their determination, software development, intelligence capability, and user connection,’’ Li said. “It’s going to be different competition from traditional car companies.”</p>\n<p>But like Musk and other EV evangelists, Li is looking to the long game.&nbsp;“I’m very optimistic,” he said. “By 2030, 90% of the newly launched cars will be electric, or even 95%.”</p>\n<p>For the Nio fans gathered in Shanghai that Sunday evening, that future is already here.</p>\n<p>With&nbsp;the event drawing&nbsp;to a close, owners pose for a large group photo with Li at its center, everyone flashing thumbs up. As the lights dim, Li slips out of the hall and into the night, where his driver —&nbsp;in a white Nio ES8 —&nbsp;waits to take him home.</p>","source":"yahoofinance","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>China's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin</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\">\nChina's Nio Faces Battle Royale After Return From Brink of Ruin\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-11 09:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinas-nio-faces-battle-royale-210018096.html><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(Bloomberg) -- William Li is being mobbed.

At a gala dinner in Shanghai, the founder of Chinese electric carmaker Nio Inc. can barely move forward in the buffet queue before being stopped for another selfie, handshake or hug. Swapping his usual attire of jeans and a T-shirt for a tailored grey suit and blue dress shirt, the tall 46-year-old happily obliges with a smile.\nLi manages to spoon a small amount of fried rice and vegetables onto his plate, but he’s not here for the food. Over the next three hours, Li poses for hundreds more photos, chatting with customers of the automaker he started just over six years ago and has built into a way of life — at least for the people who buy his cars — with clubhouses, a round-the-clock battery recharging service and even clothing, food and exercise equipment, all decked out in Nio’s geometric logo. As Li works the room, a video backdrop shows six performers, each wearing a different-colored Nio hoodie, singing a self-composed song dedicated to the company. “Meeting with Nio, we want to be better selves,’’ the not-so-catchy ditty goes.\nWhile other billionaire executives may cringe at spending their down time glad-handing customers, for Li this is core. Nio’s business model relies on creating a sense of allegiance among buyers, who then persuade friends and family to spread the word about its cars. Dubbed “Rippling Mode,’’ the strategy invokes the ever-widening circles caused by throwing a single stone into a pond, Li says. The scene in Shanghai was just what he was aiming for: a passionate customer base with the loyalty of Apple Inc. fans — and a dash of Elon Musk cult-of-personality thrown in.\nIt’s an approach that’s turned Nio into Musk’s most visible nemesis in a country that seems to be minting Tesla adversaries every other day. While other electric vehicle companies may pump out more cars aimed at the mass market, Nio is targeting the premium buyers that Musk — who established his first Gigafactory outside the U.S. on the outskirts of Shanghai in 2019 — needs to realize his ambitions for global growth and long-term profitability. China is ground-zero in the transition away from gas-guzzlers to alternative-energy cars, with the government intent on dominating a new automotive era that has triggered an onslaught of investment over the past six months and that even the U.S. is now embracing.\nThe biggest car market on the planet, China is already the world’s largest for EVs. Sales will reach 2 million this year and surge to 6.2 million vehicles by 2025, when they will account for a quarter of all passenger car sales in the country, according to BloombergNEF.\nUrbane, early adopters in China’s biggest cities have been at the heart of that transition, and are prime targets for both Nio and Tesla. Nio’s premium ES6 SUV competes head-to-head with the sporty Model Y that Tesla started making in China last year. It’s a tussle that’s front and center for Li, who in an interview with Bloomberg talked about how the eldest of his two sons, a first grader, wants to follow in his footsteps.\n“One day he told me that he would study hard and work hard, helping dad beat Tesla when he grows up,” said Li. “It’s going to be too late, I said.”\nThese days, that prospect is looking less like wishful thinking.\nNio delivered more than 20,000 vehicles, all of them SUVs, in the first quarter at an average price of $68,000, while Tesla shipped around 17,000 of its Model Y sports utility vehicle in China, which starts at around $53,000. Nio's share of the overall China market for higher end cars is second only to Tesla, according to Kang Jun, an analyst at consultancy LMC Automotive, and it's set a “benchmark” for the wider EV space, “particularly in product and service innovation.”\nTesla has also faced a raft of setbacks of late in China, which accounted for more than 20% of all revenue last year. Increased scrutiny from local regulators has been accompanied by a rising backlash against Tesla and its cars, culminating in one owner climbing on top of a Model 3 at the recent Shanghai Auto Show, claiming the company failed to address issues with her vehicle’s brakes. The protest, which went viral in China, unleashed a wave of complaints about Tesla’s customer service, the very thing Li — who regularly replies to queries from Nio owners on the company’s app and has taken weekend trips across China to meet customers — has used to differentiate Nio in the cut-throat EV landscape.\nBut Tesla isn’t the only foe Li has to worry about. A Battle Royale is brewing in China’s new energy car market — where retail sales of battery-powered passenger vehicles jumped 10% to 1.11 million last year, despite the hit from the pandemic — one that will challenge both Nio and Tesla, and set the stage for global control over the future of cars.\nAfter years watching from the sidelines, the big auto-making giants are doubling down on EVs, with Volkswagen AG launching an eight-car range from its platform designed for battery electric cars in China, Toyota Motor Corp. unveiling a new EV platform, and premium carmakers like BMW AG aiming for one-quarter of all Chinese sales to be electric. At the same time, Big Tech is eyeing the sector, lured by the technological possibilities. Chinese search-engine titan Baidu Inc. to smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp. and networks giant Huawei Technologies Co. have pledged almost $19 billion into the EV and autonomous driving space since the start of the year alone.\nSmaller companies like Nio — which is listed with compatriots Xpeng Inc. and Li Auto Inc. in New York, putting them on the radar of U.S. investors — will face greater pressure as multinationals enter the fray, said Zhang Xiang, an auto-industry researcher at North China University of Technology in Beijing.\n“It’s by no means a time they can rest easy.”\nNio has already had one near-death experience.\nCarmaking is typically a capital-intensive business, but with Nio, Li has sought to create a brand beyond the vehicles, an approach he describes as “the pursuit of being a user-enterprise.’’ The most visible manifestation of that was the Nio House, an elite drop-in center for the company’s customers — even offering art and music classes for their kids — and located on prime real estate in some of China’s biggest cities. It was coupled with extravagant marketing events. The carmaker holds annual Nio Days, and at the first in 2017 paid for flights and luxury hotels for everyone who ordered a vehicle a year before production started. R&B star Bruno Mars headlined the 2018 event. When its public charging facilities are overwhelmed, Nio has a fleet of cars that can take portable battery chargers to users wherever they’re parked.\nSuch largesse, along with a major recall after some cars caught fire just as China shifted subsidies from EV purchases to support the charging network, saw Nio rack up $5 billion of losses in its first four years of existence (Tesla took about 15 years to reach that particular milestone). By the second quarter of 2019, the company was losing around $5 million a day.\n“It was our darkest time,’’ Li said.

After posting a worse-than-expected quarterly loss, Nio’s shares plunged to a record low of $1.32. At its nadir, the carmaker had lost more than 70% of its market capitalization — about $5 billion in value — from its New York initial public offering a year earlier.\nEven a $200 million cash injection from a sale of convertible notes to Li and an affiliate of Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. — an early investor in both Nio and Tesla — wasn’t enough to shore up the company’s seemingly insatiable need for cash.\nThe setbacks kept coming.

The company abandoned plans to build a factory in Shanghai in early 2019, and instead — unlike Tesla and most traditional automakers — it pays a government-owned manufacturer in Hefei called Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., or JAC, to make its cars. The deal was extended last month for another three years, with JAC agreeing to double monthly capacity to 20,000 vehicles.\n“When William Li brought his proposal to us, most people thought it was fantasy that a Chinese carmaker planned to build first-rate intelligent electric vehicles,’’ former JAC Chairman An Jin said.  “I might be the person with the best knowledge of how Nio came along, with all the challenges and difficulties. In its hardest time, William even devoted his own money to solve the problem. That’s how he fought for his dreams.’’\nAt an April 7 ceremony to mark the production of Nio’s 100,000th vehicle, Li said he would work with the Hefei government to establish an intelligent-vehicle production base, including an R&D facility. Construction started later that month, and the industrial park is expected to eventually house manufacturing workshops, along with other players in the EV supply chain.\nThe Hefei pact, described as a government bailout by Sanford C. Bernstein’s senior analyst Robin Zhu, “put speculation around Nio’s funding issues to bed, at least in the foreseeable future,” he said.\nLi, though, also credits his loyal customer base. “We sold over 8,000 cars in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was pivotal to our survival,’’ he said. “That’s why I always say that our customers saved us. Even if we sold 500 or 1,000 fewer vehicles, that could have triggered a total collapse.’’\nStill, the experience was chastening. Nio cut about a quarter of its workforce, slowed its efforts on autonomous driving, delayed wage payments for managers and spun off some non-core businesses. While the rollout of the costly Nio Houses was suspended for more than a year, the strategy of putting Nio ownership at the center of an owners’ lifestyle and creating an aura of exclusivity, wasn’t forsaken with more modest Nio Spaces rolled out. Usually around 100-200 square meters (1,100-2,150 square feet), Nio Spaces are located in cheaper locales and also sometimes in smaller cities. They cost about 1 million yuan to set up, much less expensive than the more salubrious Nio Houses.\nIt seems to have worked — for now. Nio is still yet to turn a profit but its sales have risen steadily since — topping $1 billion for the first time in the three months to Dec. 31, 2020. The company narrowed its net loss in the first quarter of 2021 to 451 million yuan, down from 1.69 billion yuan a year earlier and 1.39 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2020. Even the businesses that underpin Nio’s lifestyle brand are making money, contributing to 1.1 billion yuan in revenue from non-vehicle sales last year, according to the company’s annual report.\n“To enter the car industry and survive isn’t easy,’’ said Jochen Goller, BMW’s China CEO. “Some others have disappeared. I have met with William Li a couple of times and I have to say I am impressed by what he has achieved. Nio is also creating awareness for battery cars, and having the right brands in the segment is helping the market.’’\nThe Hefei deal also came around the same time as investors cottoned on to the EV revolution, putting a rocket under Nio’s shares. They surged more than 1,110% last year, besting even the rally that propelled Tesla into the S&P 500 Index. The stock has given up some of those gains since as enthusiasm has eased, but with a market value of $70 billion, Nio is still bigger than Ford Motor Co.\nIt’s a long way from Li’s relatively humble beginnings. Raised by his grandparents in a small village in the hills of Anhui, known for farming and — more recently — the automobile industry, Li calls himself one of China’s “first generation of `left-behind’ children’’ because both his parents moved to the neighboring province of Jiangsu to pursue better work. There was no electricity in the village until Li was in his teens.\nWhile majoring in sociology at Peking University, one of China’s top colleges, Li started his first business — leasing internet servers and helping clients register domain names. The auto industry is where Li has enjoyed his greatest success, however, with the three listed companies he founded in the past 20 years all related to cars. His first, a vehicle-pricing portal called BitAuto Holdings Ltd. was acquired last year by Yiche Holding Ltd. for $2.8 billion, propelling Li’s personal fortune to $7 billion. That was followed by online auto-finance platform Yixin Group Ltd., which listed in Hong Kong in late 2017.\nThen came Nio. In an internal presentation in 2016, Li recalled looking out the window of his apartment at Beijing’s smoggy skies before the birth of his first son, and decided something needed to be done to tackle the country’s chronic pollution. He started Nio in late 2014 with funding from a group of well-known investors, including Li Auto founder Li Xiang and Richard Liu, the founder of e-commerce portal JD.com. Xiaomi’s Lei Jun was also an early backer.\nWhen he’s not dining with super-fans, Li’s workday calendar is packed. On a recent Tuesday at the company’s corporate headquarters — which remain in the slick financial capital of Shanghai — he spent the morning locked in executive committee meetings. In the afternoon, it was more back-to-back meetings with the company’s battery partner, designers, and clients from Europe. In a first, Nio recently announced plans to start selling cars in EV hotbed Norway.\nBut while the company is on much firmer ground than 18 months ago, questions remain.\n“Auto manufacturing has big economies of scale, and at less than 100,000 units a year, Nio hasn’t yet reached the production volume to realize all of those efficiencies,” said Robert Cowell, an equity analyst at Shanghai-based 86Research.\nCost issues linger, with the price of raw materials used in batteries, the most expensive part of an EV, including lithium-ion compound, soaring in recent months. Like most global automakers, Nio has also been hit by a worldwide shortage of the chips used increasingly in modern cars, leading to the suspension of production in Hefei for five days at the end of March. And despite the intensifying competition in an industry defined by technological advances and consumers drawn to the next shiny thing, Nio isn’t planning on unveiling any new models until late this year or early 2022.\nRead more: Why Nio Should Resist the Siren Song of Norway\nWhile Tesla is the main competitor in view, it’s the rivals to come that Li sees as the biggest threat.\n“The final game won’t start until tech giants are in,” he said. In March, Xiaomi unveiled plans to invest about $10 billion in manufacturing EVs, while Huawei has collaborated on at least two cars and is developing autonomous driving technologies. Lurking in the background is the biggest tech giant of all — Apple, which has long harbored ambitions to make its own, self-driving car.\n“I trust companies like Apple for their determination, software development, intelligence capability, and user connection,’’ Li said. “It’s going to be different competition from traditional car companies.”\nBut like Musk and other EV evangelists, Li is looking to the long game. “I’m very optimistic,” he said. “By 2030, 90% of the newly launched cars will be electric, or even 95%.”\nFor the Nio fans gathered in Shanghai that Sunday evening, that future is already here.\nWith the event drawing to a close, owners pose for a large group photo with Li at its center, everyone flashing thumbs up. As the lights dim, Li slips out of the hall and into the night, where his driver — in a white Nio ES8 — waits to take him home.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181626821,"gmtCreate":1623391453363,"gmtModify":1704202371944,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","listText":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","text":"Who will be the ultimate partner with Apple?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181626821","repostId":"1147547408","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181620138,"gmtCreate":1623391164624,"gmtModify":1704202364632,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","listText":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","text":"Will this reposition intel in a better position to compete among rising semi con companies?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181620138","repostId":"1170650480","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":99,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":317530211,"gmtCreate":1612453862633,"gmtModify":1704871517954,"author":{"id":"3562642240369858","authorId":"3562642240369858","name":"JinXing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6da31df6b4ba4458e447215f4cc81524","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562642240369858","idStr":"3562642240369858"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme numbers isn’t backed by fundamentals","listText":"Gme numbers isn’t backed by fundamentals","text":"Gme numbers isn’t backed by fundamentals","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/317530211","repostId":"2108713067","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2108713067","pubTimestamp":1612428021,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2108713067?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-04 16:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Mania Stirs New Ire for Social-Media Shield Trump Hates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2108713067","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Market turbulence fueled by a horde of retail investors targeting stocks like GameSto","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Market turbulence fueled by a horde of retail investors targeting stocks like GameStop Corp. has some fingers pointing at an unexpected culprit: the social-media liability protections vilified by former President Donald Trump.</p><p>The investors who sent shares of GameStop and several other companies to previously unfathomable heights relied on a Reddit-based forum as a central gathering point to discuss trading strategies, egg each other on and move in unison to squeeze hedge funds that had shorted stocks.

It’s also not a crime to say that you own stock and think it will continue to rise.</p><p>Unless regulators find violations, Reddit probably won’t need the protection that Section 230 affords, said Eric Goldman, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law. “I haven’t seen any evidence that illegal stock manipulation is taking place on WallStreetBets, though that might still be proven,” Goldman said.</p><p>Still, without the federally protected sandbox of Section 230, Reddit and platforms like it would likely have been unable to grow into the wild-west of free speech that they are, said Ellen Goodman, a professor at Rutgers Law School who has studied online disinformation.</p><p>“If we had less Section 230 immunity, I suspect the platforms would be more engaged and Reddit would have been more engaged in monitoring and slowing down the traffic on WallStreetBets,” Goodman said.</p><p>Just as financial markets include trading halts for volatility, Goodman suggested platforms could take action to slow down viral disinformation when they see it.</p><p>Some industry advocates said the WallStreetBets drama isn’t a good reason to curtail Section 230.</p><p>“Let’s just imagine there is evidence that says someone was attempting to run a pump-and-dump scheme online,” said Matt Schruers, president of the Computer &amp; Communications Industry Association trade group, which counts Facebook and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>, but not Reddit, as members. “Regulators already have the tools that they need to penalize bad actors for engaging in that kind of securities fraud.”</p><p>The GameStop drama was the latest in a series of episodes in which social media users were alleged to have incited risky and dangerous activity, including planning the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection and a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.</p><p>While the GameStop incident didn’t involve threats of violence, and may not have even involved anything illegal, it could still give momentum to bipartisan efforts to increase social-media companies’ responsibility to moderate what users say.</p><p>Illinois Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky, who chairs a House panel on consumer protection, is pushing to tighten Section 230 by forcing companies to police their own terms of service more aggressively. She is also looking at whether there are legal violations amid the WallStreetBets activity that are being protected by the shield, according to an aide familiar with her plans.</p><p>Lawmakers have offered measures to reform the legal shield, including by increasing transparency about how platforms make content decisions and forcing them to remove content deemed illegal by a court. Other proposals would eliminate child abuse material and illegal drug sales.</p><p>Trump frequently attacked Section 230, which he claimed enabled tech companies to shut down conservative speech. His Justice Department issued proposed changes to the law, and his allies introduced a flurry of bills on the issue. He prompted the Federal Communications Commission to prepare rules to limit companies’ ability to deal with political content, although it has since abandoned the effort. Trump also vetoed the annual defense authorization measure because it didn’t include a repeal of Section 230, but Congress overrode him.</p><p>While Wall Street has largely stayed out of the political debate over Section 230, that could change now that its profits are at stake. Increasing internet companies’ liability for user posts could ultimately benefit markets if it leads the platforms to better police their content, said Joshua Mitts, a Columbia Law School professor who studies market manipulation.</p><p>“Liability could be a good thing because it could curtail the situations where scare or euphoria tactics are used to make money,” Mitts said. “If it turns the platforms into more active police, it may be a good thing on balance for our markets.”</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It’s also not a crime to say that you own stock and think it will continue to rise.Unless regulators find violations, Reddit probably won’t need the protection that Section 230 affords, said Eric Goldman, a professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law. “I haven’t seen any evidence that illegal stock manipulation is taking place on WallStreetBets, though that might still be proven,” Goldman said.Still, without the federally protected sandbox of Section 230, Reddit and platforms like it would likely have been unable to grow into the wild-west of free speech that they are, said Ellen Goodman, a professor at Rutgers Law School who has studied online disinformation.“If we had less Section 230 immunity, I suspect the platforms would be more engaged and Reddit would have been more engaged in monitoring and slowing down the traffic on WallStreetBets,” Goodman said.Just as financial markets include trading halts for volatility, Goodman suggested platforms could take action to slow down viral disinformation when they see it.Some industry advocates said the WallStreetBets drama isn’t a good reason to curtail Section 230.“Let’s just imagine there is evidence that says someone was attempting to run a pump-and-dump scheme online,” said Matt Schruers, president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association trade group, which counts Facebook and Twitter, but not Reddit, as members. “Regulators already have the tools that they need to penalize bad actors for engaging in that kind of securities fraud.”The GameStop drama was the latest in a series of episodes in which social media users were alleged to have incited risky and dangerous activity, including planning the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection and a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.While the GameStop incident didn’t involve threats of violence, and may not have even involved anything illegal, it could still give momentum to bipartisan efforts to increase social-media companies’ responsibility to moderate what users say.Illinois Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky, who chairs a House panel on consumer protection, is pushing to tighten Section 230 by forcing companies to police their own terms of service more aggressively. She is also looking at whether there are legal violations amid the WallStreetBets activity that are being protected by the shield, according to an aide familiar with her plans.Lawmakers have offered measures to reform the legal shield, including by increasing transparency about how platforms make content decisions and forcing them to remove content deemed illegal by a court. Other proposals would eliminate child abuse material and illegal drug sales.Trump frequently attacked Section 230, which he claimed enabled tech companies to shut down conservative speech. His Justice Department issued proposed changes to the law, and his allies introduced a flurry of bills on the issue. He prompted the Federal Communications Commission to prepare rules to limit companies’ ability to deal with political content, although it has since abandoned the effort. Trump also vetoed the annual defense authorization measure because it didn’t include a repeal of Section 230, but Congress overrode him.While Wall Street has largely stayed out of the political debate over Section 230, that could change now that its profits are at stake. Increasing internet companies’ liability for user posts could ultimately benefit markets if it leads the platforms to better police their content, said Joshua Mitts, a Columbia Law School professor who studies market manipulation.“Liability could be a good thing because it could curtail the situations where scare or euphoria tactics are used to make money,” Mitts said. “If it turns the platforms into more active police, it may be a good thing on balance for our markets.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":11,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
