Aggressive tightening by other major central banks has stoked fears of a broad global slowdown.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":529,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910582225,"gmtCreate":1663642892967,"gmtModify":1676537307587,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good","listText":"good","text":"good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910582225","repostId":"1176688692","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":448,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910582390,"gmtCreate":1663642832210,"gmtModify":1676537307571,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good read","listText":"Good read","text":"Good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910582390","repostId":"2267651314","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":594,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999299156,"gmtCreate":1660530457477,"gmtModify":1676533487461,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999299156","repostId":"2259664055","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":617,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999290822,"gmtCreate":1660530358868,"gmtModify":1676533487438,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999290822","repostId":"2259270513","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2259270513","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1660550047,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2259270513?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-15 15:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Top Bargain Stocks Ready for a Bull Run","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259270513","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With these stocks well off their highs, it may be the perfect time to open a position.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Even with the economy in a precarious position and the stock market off its highs, plenty of businesses are still executing at a high level.

In other words, volatility is unavoidable. At times, great companies may lose a significant portion of their value, and not-so-great companies may achieve absurd valuations, but time is the great equalizer. As years pass, the great companies will outperform their peers.</p><p>Given the recent market volatility, I think that quote is particularly timely. It serves as a reminder to look beyond the here and now, and invest your money in high-quality stocks that you plan to hold for years or even decades. Doing so helps eliminate the impact of short-term volatility, and it gives your investment thesis plenty of time to play out.</p><p>Building on that idea, I think <b>DigitalOcean</b>(NYSE:DOCN)and <b>MongoDB</b>(NASDAQ:MDB)could grow fourfold in the next decade, a pace that would turn$250,000 into $1 million. Here's what you should know.</p><p><b>1. DigitalOcean</b></p><p>DigitalOcean specializes in cloud computing. Whereas tech titans like <b>Microsoft</b> and <b>Amazon</b> tailor their products to the needs of large enterprises, DigitalOcean focuses on small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and individual developers. More specifically, the company focuses on simplicity. Its click-and-go interface makes it possible to provision cloud services within minutes, without any specialized training.</p><p>The company also provides 24/7 technical support, an extensive library of tutorials, and performance monitoring tools free of charge. Collectively, its cloud platform helps clients build and scale applications quickly, while eliminating the need to invest in costly on-site hardware. And that value proposition has translated into strong demand.</p><p>In the third quarter, DigitalOcean grew its customer base 7% to 598,000, and the average customer spent 16% more with the company. That compounding dynamic helped DigitalOcean report revenue of $111.4 million in the quarter, up 37% year over year. And cash from operations surged 73% to $40.3 million, meaning DigitalOcean is making enough money to pay the bills.</p><p>Currently, there are 100 million SMBs in the world, and 14 million new businesses are started each year. To that end, management estimates its addressable market will reach $116 billion by 2024. More importantly, DigitalOcean's developer-first business model is a big selling point, and it should bring more clients to the platform in the years ahead.</p><p>For that reason, I think this $7.5 billion company can grow fourfold (or more) in the next decade.</p><p><b>2. MongoDB</b></p><p>A database is at the heart of every application. This is where data is stored, organized, and accessed when it's needed. Legacy platforms relied on a relational model, requiring developers to format data into structured rows and columns. But 80% to 90% of data generated by modern applications is unstructured, such as videos posted to YouTube, photos shared on social media, and comments left on websites.</p><p>This type of data doesn't fit neatly into rows and columns, meaning it would be tedious for developers to maintain such a system. That's why MongoDB built a modern, general purpose database. Its platform uses a document model, allowing developers to store huge amounts of unstructured data. That flexibility drives productivity and efficiency, meaning clients can build and scale products more quickly. Compared to legacy solutions, MongoDB believes its software makes development three to five times faster and 70% less expensive.</p><p>Not surprisingly, the company has garnered a following in the developer community. In fact, it's the most popular non-relational database and the fifth most popular database of any kind, according to DB-Engines. Not surprisingly, that edge has translated into rapid growth.</p><p>In its fiscal third quarter, MongoDB's customer count grew 37% to over 31,000, and 1,201 of those customers now spend over $100,000 on an annualized basis. Additionally, the company's revenue expansion rate came in above 120%, meaning the average customer spent at least 20% more over the past year. In turn, revenue rose 50% to $226.9 million. And while MongoDB posted negative cash from operations of $5.8 million during the period, that figure marks an improvement over the prior year.

At times, great companies may lose a significant portion of their value, and not-so-great companies may achieve absurd valuations, but time is the great equalizer. As years pass, the great companies will outperform their peers.Given the recent market volatility, I think that quote is particularly timely. It serves as a reminder to look beyond the here and now, and invest your money in high-quality stocks that you plan to hold for years or even decades. Doing so helps eliminate the impact of short-term volatility, and it gives your investment thesis plenty of time to play out.Building on that idea, I think DigitalOcean(NYSE:DOCN)and MongoDB(NASDAQ:MDB)could grow fourfold in the next decade, a pace that would turn$250,000 into $1 million. Here's what you should know.1. DigitalOceanDigitalOcean specializes in cloud computing. Whereas tech titans like Microsoft and Amazon tailor their products to the needs of large enterprises, DigitalOcean focuses on small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and individual developers. More specifically, the company focuses on simplicity. Its click-and-go interface makes it possible to provision cloud services within minutes, without any specialized training.The company also provides 24/7 technical support, an extensive library of tutorials, and performance monitoring tools free of charge. Collectively, its cloud platform helps clients build and scale applications quickly, while eliminating the need to invest in costly on-site hardware. And that value proposition has translated into strong demand.In the third quarter, DigitalOcean grew its customer base 7% to 598,000, and the average customer spent 16% more with the company. That compounding dynamic helped DigitalOcean report revenue of $111.4 million in the quarter, up 37% year over year. And cash from operations surged 73% to $40.3 million, meaning DigitalOcean is making enough money to pay the bills.Currently, there are 100 million SMBs in the world, and 14 million new businesses are started each year. To that end, management estimates its addressable market will reach $116 billion by 2024. More importantly, DigitalOcean's developer-first business model is a big selling point, and it should bring more clients to the platform in the years ahead.For that reason, I think this $7.5 billion company can grow fourfold (or more) in the next decade.2. MongoDBA database is at the heart of every application. This is where data is stored, organized, and accessed when it's needed. Legacy platforms relied on a relational model, requiring developers to format data into structured rows and columns. But 80% to 90% of data generated by modern applications is unstructured, such as videos posted to YouTube, photos shared on social media, and comments left on websites.This type of data doesn't fit neatly into rows and columns, meaning it would be tedious for developers to maintain such a system. That's why MongoDB built a modern, general purpose database. Its platform uses a document model, allowing developers to store huge amounts of unstructured data. That flexibility drives productivity and efficiency, meaning clients can build and scale products more quickly. Compared to legacy solutions, MongoDB believes its software makes development three to five times faster and 70% less expensive.Not surprisingly, the company has garnered a following in the developer community. In fact, it's the most popular non-relational database and the fifth most popular database of any kind, according to DB-Engines. Not surprisingly, that edge has translated into rapid growth.In its fiscal third quarter, MongoDB's customer count grew 37% to over 31,000, and 1,201 of those customers now spend over $100,000 on an annualized basis. Additionally, the company's revenue expansion rate came in above 120%, meaning the average customer spent at least 20% more over the past year. In turn, revenue rose 50% to $226.9 million. And while MongoDB posted negative cash from operations of $5.8 million during the period, that figure marks an improvement over the prior year. More importantly, with $1.8 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet and just $1.1 billion in long-term debt, MongoDB can afford to continue investing in its growth.Looking ahead, the company has plenty of room to grow. According to the International Data Corp., the data management software market will reach $121 billion by 2025. And given MongoDB's strong competitive position, I wouldn't be surprised to see its market cap grow at least fourfold over the next decade as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":755,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9999290822,"gmtCreate":1660530358868,"gmtModify":1676533487438,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999290822","repostId":"2259270513","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2259270513","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1660550047,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2259270513?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-15 15:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Top Bargain Stocks Ready for a Bull Run","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259270513","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With these stocks well off their highs, it may be the perfect time to open a position.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Even with the economy in a precarious position and the stock market off its highs, plenty of businesses are still executing at a high level.

With marijuana regulations on the ballot, major players in the industry making big changes to their strategies, and many companies struggling to grow their sales, there's a whirlpool containing both danger and opportunity for investors.</p><p>Here are three of the top pot businesses that are worth keeping an eye on in December and beyond. Even if their more ambitious plans don't play out over the coming year, there's going to be a lot to learn from their experiences.</p><h2>1. Canopy Growth</h2><p>Since its announcement in late October that it would enter the U.S. cannabis market faster than previously planned, <b>Canopy Growth</b>'s shares are up by around 45%, and there might be more to come.</p><p>The cannabis cultivator's pivot to focus on the U.S. comes at a time when it's selling off its Canadian retail outlets, meaning that the Canopy Growth of 2023 and beyond will look little like what investors are accustomed to. That makes it worth watching, as more changes will probably need to happen before the company's twin problems of a lack of profits and a sagging top line have a chance to be resolved.</p><p>The other factor that makes this stock worth paying attention to is that its BioSteel sports beverage segment is firing on all cylinders. Net revenue from the drink rose by 299% in the second quarter (period ended Sept. 30) compared to a year prior. If it continues to scale up its beverage manufacturing capabilities while securing high-profile endorsements from organizations like the National Hockey League, it'll lend credence to management's idea that Canopy is a consumer packaged goods company rather than a cannabis company.</p><p>In the long term, that diversification could help it weather downturns in the marijuana market, which would make it a somewhat juicer investment than its pure-play peers.</p><h2>2. Green Thumb Industries</h2><p><b>Green Thumb Industries</b> is one of the few multi-state operators (MSOs) that's expanding its sales while remaining profitable, and that means it's a good company to watch.</p><p>With its third-quarter revenue of $261 million -- a healthy rise of 12% year over year -- it's also positioning to double its number of retail outlets in state markets with limited numbers of sales and distribution licenses. The company had 77 retail locations by the close of the quarter. But there's an even larger expansion opportunity on the table over the next few years.</p><p>Via a new property-leasing collaboration with the Circle K convenience store chain, Green Thumb plans to open small dispensaries at Circle K locations in Florida to sell its medical marijuana products. Ten such dispensaries are slated to open in 2023, but Circle K's footprint in Florida includes 600 stores. So if Green Thumb's experiment next year turns out well, it could potentially go on to penetrate a massive portion of the market in Florida, threatening the established competitor there, <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b>. And that could be huge for shareholders.</p><h2>3. Innovative Industrial Properties</h2><p><b>Innovative Industrial Properties</b> is often called the landlord of the marijuana industry, and the real estate investment trust (REIT) is intent on expanding its collection of cannabis-cultivation real estate. Despite the default of one of its tenants called Kings Garden earlier this year, as of Nov. 2 the company reported that it had collected 97% of its expected rent in 2022 so far.</p><p>But with a (small) crack in the facade and more turbulence likely on the way for the marijuana industry, investors are likely to be on high alert for any added signs of trouble, which is why it makes sense to watch this stock.</p><p>That hasn't stopped the company from forging ahead with its strategy of performing sale-leaseback transactions to accumulate more rental space. This year, it bought nine properties and signed the paperwork for nine property improvements, investing a total of $368.6 million.</p><p>And even with the revenue lost from the default, its third-quarter total revenue of $70.9 million was still more than 32% higher compared to the same quarter last year. With growth like that and the prospect of marijuana legalization on the horizon, 2023 will likely be another watershed year for Innovative Industrial Properties.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Top Pot Stocks to Watch in December</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Top Pot Stocks to Watch in December\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-25 09:01 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/11/24/3-top-pot-stocks-to-watch-in-december/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>As 2022 draws to a close, the cannabis sector is once again heating up.

That makes it worth watching, as more changes will probably need to happen before the company's twin problems of a lack of profits and a sagging top line have a chance to be resolved.The other factor that makes this stock worth paying attention to is that its BioSteel sports beverage segment is firing on all cylinders. Net revenue from the drink rose by 299% in the second quarter (period ended Sept. 30) compared to a year prior. If it continues to scale up its beverage manufacturing capabilities while securing high-profile endorsements from organizations like the National Hockey League, it'll lend credence to management's idea that Canopy is a consumer packaged goods company rather than a cannabis company.In the long term, that diversification could help it weather downturns in the marijuana market, which would make it a somewhat juicer investment than its pure-play peers.2. Green Thumb IndustriesGreen Thumb Industries is one of the few multi-state operators (MSOs) that's expanding its sales while remaining profitable, and that means it's a good company to watch.With its third-quarter revenue of $261 million -- a healthy rise of 12% year over year -- it's also positioning to double its number of retail outlets in state markets with limited numbers of sales and distribution licenses. The company had 77 retail locations by the close of the quarter. But there's an even larger expansion opportunity on the table over the next few years.Via a new property-leasing collaboration with the Circle K convenience store chain, Green Thumb plans to open small dispensaries at Circle K locations in Florida to sell its medical marijuana products. Ten such dispensaries are slated to open in 2023, but Circle K's footprint in Florida includes 600 stores. So if Green Thumb's experiment next year turns out well, it could potentially go on to penetrate a massive portion of the market in Florida, threatening the established competitor there, Trulieve Cannabis. And that could be huge for shareholders.3. Innovative Industrial PropertiesInnovative Industrial Properties is often called the landlord of the marijuana industry, and the real estate investment trust (REIT) is intent on expanding its collection of cannabis-cultivation real estate. Despite the default of one of its tenants called Kings Garden earlier this year, as of Nov. 2 the company reported that it had collected 97% of its expected rent in 2022 so far.But with a (small) crack in the facade and more turbulence likely on the way for the marijuana industry, investors are likely to be on high alert for any added signs of trouble, which is why it makes sense to watch this stock.That hasn't stopped the company from forging ahead with its strategy of performing sale-leaseback transactions to accumulate more rental space. This year, it bought nine properties and signed the paperwork for nine property improvements, investing a total of $368.6 million.And even with the revenue lost from the default, its third-quarter total revenue of $70.9 million was still more than 32% higher compared to the same quarter last year. With growth like that and the prospect of marijuana legalization on the horizon, 2023 will likely be another watershed year for Innovative Industrial Properties.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":566,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963620645,"gmtCreate":1668666203987,"gmtModify":1676538093961,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thx for sharing","listText":"Thx for sharing","text":"Thx for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9963620645","repostId":"2284831377","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2284831377","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1668648381,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2284831377?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-17 09:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Nio Shares Plunged 8.5% on Wednesday?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2284831377","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Nio expected a sharp increase in production and deliveries in the fourth quarter, but there are signs that plan could falter.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>What happened</h2><p>The American depositary shares of China-based <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio </a> were plummeting Wednesday morning.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.</li><li>My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).</li><li>At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.</li></ul><h2><b>The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p>For both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world's most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet's most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.</p><p>The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody's credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody's). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.</p><h2><b>The Valuation of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p><b>Discounted Cash Flow [DCF]-Model</b></p><p>In terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta. At the current stock prices, this gives Alphabet an upside of 42.90% and Meta an upside of 35.30%.</p><p>My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Company Ticker</p></td><td><p>GOOG</p></td><td><p>META</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Revenue Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EBIT Growth Rate for the next 5 years</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tax Rate</p></td><td><p>15.7%</p></td><td><p>16.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Discount Rate [WACC]</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td><td><p>7.75%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Perpetual Growth Rate</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EV/EBITDA Multiple</p></td><td><p>12x</p></td><td><p>7.2x</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Current Price/Share</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Shares Outstanding</p></td><td><p>13,044</p></td><td><p>2,688</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Debt</p></td><td><p>$28,810</p></td><td><p>$16,679</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cash</p></td><td><p>$17,936</p></td><td><p>$12,681</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Capex</p></td><td><p>$29,816</p></td><td><p>$32,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p>Based on the above, I calculated the following results:</p><p><b>Market Value vs. Intrinsic Value</b></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Alphabet</b></p></td><td><p><b>Meta</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Market Value</p></td><td><p>$99.17</p></td><td><p>$140.41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Upside</p></td><td><p>42.90%</p></td><td><p>35.30%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Intrinsic Value</p></td><td><p>$141.71</p></td><td><p>$190.02</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p><b>Internal Rate of Return for Alphabet</b></p><p>TheInternal Rate of Return[IRR] is defined as the expected compound annual rate of return earned on an investment.

The Seeking Alpha Authors rate both companies as a buy while the Wall Street Analysts rate Alphabet as a strong buy and Meta as a buy.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0183857b361e5803d79ef3e2d9f66812\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"175\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: Seeking Alpha</p><h2><b>Risks</b></h2><p>One of the main risk factors I see for both Alphabet and Meta is the fact that the largest portion of the companies' business results depend on advertising.</p><p>When taking a closer look at Alphabet, it can be highlighted that80%of the company's revenue is generated by its business unit Google Advertising. However, Alphabet's other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet's total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).</p><p>While having a deeper look into Meta's business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company's revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.</p><p>This comparison of the companies' advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta's business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta's significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.</p><p>Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company's high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.</p><p>Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta's revenue by about$10 billion.</p><p>Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.</p><h2><b>The Bottom Line</b></h2><p>I consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:</p><p>Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).</p><p>Alphabet's higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta's $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody's compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.</p><p>My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).</p><p>When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta's revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta's high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.</p><p>The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.</p><p>Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?</p></body></html>","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>Google Vs.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and MetaFor both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world's most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet's most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody's credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody's). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.The Valuation of Alphabet and MetaDiscounted Cash Flow [DCF]-ModelIn terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta. The method calculates a fair value of $141.71 for Alphabet and $190.02 for Meta.

Meta currently has a slightly lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 when compared to Alphabet (19.05).Although Meta's EBIT Margin (33.41% compared to Alphabet's 29.65%) and Free Cash Flow Yield [TTM] (9.27% compared to 4.97%) are higher, the following contributes to the fact that I would select Alphabet if I had to choose one of the two companies from the Interactive Media and Services Industry:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than Meta's (25.48%), which implies that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits.Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than that of Meta (with an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% in the same period of time).In addition to that, Alphabet's EPS Growth Rate Diluted [FWD] of 27.01% is higher than the one of Meta (3.12%), indicating that Alphabet is growing its profitability with a higher rate.Additionally, Alphabet's Free Cash Flow Per Share Growth Rate [FWD] of 24.39% is significantly superior to Meta's (4.23%), demonstrating that Alphabet's potential to produce cash and profits is growing faster than its rival's.This analysis of the companies' fundamentals strengthens my investment thesis that Alphabet is currently the more attractive of the two.

A score between 0 and 5 is given (with 0 being the lowest rating and 5 the highest) for each item on the Scorecard. Furthermore, you can see the conditions that must be met for each point of every rated item.\"Source: The AuthorAlphabet and Meta According to the HQC ScorecardSource: The AuthorAlthough both companies are rated as very attractive as according to the HQC Scorecard, Alphabet's overall score (91/100) is slightly higher than the one of Meta (80/100).In the category of Economic Moat, Alphabet scores 93/100 points while Meta only reaches 57/100.In terms of Financial Strength, both are rated as very attractive. These strong results are a consequence of both companies having a low Total Debt to Equity Ratio, as well as a high Current Ratio (Alphabet's is 2.81 and Meta's is 2.52), Quick Ratio (2.62 and 2.34) and Cash Ratio (2.0 and 1.8).In the category of Profitability, both companies are rated with 100/100 points, a result of having high EBIT Margins (Alphabet's is 29.65% and Meta's is 33.41%) and high ROE's (29.22% and 25.48%).For Valuation, Alphabet receives 80/100 while Meta gets 92/100. Meta's higher scoring in this category is a consequence of its even lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 as compared to Alphabet's 19.05.For Growth, Alphabet receives 88/100 and Meta gets 76/100.For Expected Return, both receive 100/100 points, this is mostly due to the high Expected Internal Rate of Return for the companies as according to my DCF Model.Alphabet's higher overall rating (91/100) as according to the HQC Scorecard, strengthens my opinion of choosing the company over Meta at this moment in time.Alphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor GradesWhen taking into consideration the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor Grades, we can see that Meta is rated slightly better in terms of Valuation (with a C-) as compared to Alphabet (D rating). In terms of Growth, however, Alphabet (C- rating) is better rated than Meta (D- rating). For Profitability, both companies receive an A+ rating. For Momentum, Alphabet is more appealing (C+) than Meta (C rating).Alphabet's better rating in terms of Growth and Momentum once again underlines my investment thesis.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant RankingMy investment thesis is also underlined by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking where Alphabet is ranked significantly better than Meta: while Alphabet is 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry, Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61). Within the Communication Services Sector, Alphabet is currently ranked 7th and Meta is in 52nd place (both out of 247). The Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking reinforces my opinion to select Alphabet over Meta.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Authors Rating and Wall Street Analysts RatingAs according to the Seeking Alpha Quant Rating, Alphabet is currently a strong buy and Meta a hold. The Seeking Alpha Authors rate both companies as a buy while the Wall Street Analysts rate Alphabet as a strong buy and Meta as a buy.Source: Seeking AlphaRisksOne of the main risk factors I see for both Alphabet and Meta is the fact that the largest portion of the companies' business results depend on advertising.When taking a closer look at Alphabet, it can be highlighted that80%of the company's revenue is generated by its business unit Google Advertising. However, Alphabet's other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet's total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).While having a deeper look into Meta's business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company's revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.This comparison of the companies' advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta's business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta's significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company's high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta's revenue by about$10 billion.Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.The Bottom LineI consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).Alphabet's higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta's $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody's compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta's revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta's high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":460,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910585064,"gmtCreate":1663642952558,"gmtModify":1676537307602,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good","listText":"good","text":"good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910585064","repostId":"2268324149","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2268324149","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1663577680,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2268324149?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-19 16:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Stock-Market Bears Are Eying June Lows After S&P 500 Falls Back Below 3,900","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2268324149","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Heaviest volume over last 3 years seen at the 3,900 level: BTIG’s KrinskyJune lows in sight?

Aggressive tightening by other major central banks has stoked fears of a broad global slowdown.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":529,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910582225,"gmtCreate":1663642892967,"gmtModify":1676537307587,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good","listText":"good","text":"good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910582225","repostId":"1176688692","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1176688692","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1663577677,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176688692?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-19 16:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks To Watch: Sea, Take-Two, bluebird And More","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176688692","media":"Benzinga","summary":"With US stock futures trading lower this morning on Monday, some of the stocks that may grab investo","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>With US stock futures trading lower this morning on Monday, some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are as follows:</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>. is preparing to fire 3% of Shopee employees in Indonesia, part of a broader wave of regional job cuts intended to curb ballooning losses and win back investors.

In response, the S&P 500 and other major stock indexes fell by several percentage points.</p><p>“There was a grain of hope in the markets that inflation was going to start cooling more quickly,” Grieb says. That might have given the Fed the opportunity to be more gentle with its interest rate increases.</p><p>But Grieb says that the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers show that “the Fed will have to stick to its guns,” with an aggressive course of interest rate increases in the near future — hence the negative stock market reaction.</p><p>“The markets are realizing that the aggressive path the Fed has laid out — they don’t have much room to adjust that,” he says.</p><h2>Should long-term investors pay attention to Fed interest rate policy?</h2><p>Fernandez says no.</p><p>“They should ignore the news, they should ignore the ups and downs, they should know that they’re in it for the long term,” she says.</p><p>Ideally, Fernandez says, investors should be making small, but frequent contributions to their investment accounts over time (for example, a set amount from each paycheck).</p><p>This approach, which is called dollar-cost averaging, can help them buy into investments at lower prices during periods of turmoil.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1663581368258","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>What to Expect From the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision</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\">\nWhat to Expect From the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-19 17:58 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/what-to-expect-federal-reserve-interest-rate-decision><strong>NerdWallet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Fed's next rate decision is due by Sept. 21.

That might have given the Fed the opportunity to be more gentle with its interest rate increases.But Grieb says that the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers show that “the Fed will have to stick to its guns,” with an aggressive course of interest rate increases in the near future — hence the negative stock market reaction.“The markets are realizing that the aggressive path the Fed has laid out — they don’t have much room to adjust that,” he says.Should long-term investors pay attention to Fed interest rate policy?Fernandez says no.“They should ignore the news, they should ignore the ups and downs, they should know that they’re in it for the long term,” she says.Ideally, Fernandez says, investors should be making small, but frequent contributions to their investment accounts over time (for example, a set amount from each paycheck).This approach, which is called dollar-cost averaging, can help them buy into investments at lower prices during periods of turmoil.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":594,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999299156,"gmtCreate":1660530457477,"gmtModify":1676533487461,"author":{"id":"3567409676969355","authorId":"3567409676969355","name":"mwlim1992","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567409676969355","authorIdStr":"3567409676969355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999299156","repostId":"2259664055","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2259664055","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1660529485,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2259664055?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-15 10:11","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"How the US Toppled the World’s Most Powerful Gold Trader","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259664055","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"In December 2018, a man in his early 30s was intercepted on arrival at Fort Lauderdale airport and t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>In December 2018, a man in his early 30s was intercepted on arrival at Fort Lauderdale airport and taken to a room where two FBI agents sat waiting.</p><p>The target was scared and already on high alert — one of his associates had recently admitted to crimes he knew he'd also committed.
