what you want, but they are back in action. This group has seen plenty of wild price action already, with more ongoing.</p>\n<p>Now, most traders aren’t strangers to a good old-fashioned short squeeze. But the price movement in 2021 has been nothing short of breathtaking, making wild entertainment for armchair analysts.</p>\n<p>The novel coronavirus wreaked havoc on the economy, supply chains and to an extent, our stock market. But coming into 2021, the market had actually done quite well. It shrugged off a global pandemic and made it through a hostile presidential election. It didn’t even flinch during the early January drama in Washington, D.C., when rioters stormed the Capitol.</p>\n<p>All of that helped lead to the massive rally we saw later in the month and into February. High-growth stocks, SPACs, IPOs and these new Reddit stocks were all the rage.</p>\n<p>Call them what you will, but these stocks have the potential to go on torrid rallies. Some rally hundreds of percent, others can jump thousands of percent over the course of weeks or months. Conversely, many see large gains that evaporate within a few days.</p>\n<p>That price action has gone from one or two stocks and has now spilled into dozens of different names.<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) has been the recent leader. Here are eight others that may try to lead as well.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>BBBY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BlackBerry</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Virgin Galactic</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SPCE</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Wendy’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WEN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Rocket Companies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RKT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>ContextLogic</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WISH</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These companies span industries, but the investing thesis is all the same: These names gain traction on online forums as traders hunt for the next candidate to go up 40%, 50% or more in a single session. Then we see all sorts of epic short-squeezes higher.</p>\n<p><b>GameStop (GME)</b></p>\n<p>Can we even talk about Reddit stocks without talking about GameStop? Shares are trading well lately, but they haven’t soared like some of these other names. That said, GameStop is roughly a $250 stock — not a single-digit or sub-$20 name, like many others on this list.</p>\n<p>The company just reported earnings, beating both top- and bottom-line expectations. However the reaction was pretty tough, with shares tumbling on the report. Given its size, it may be difficult for investors to bid GME stock significantly higher, particularly now that its short interest has dropped to a more reasonable level.</p>\n<p>Still, GameStop has been one of the&nbsp;leaders of this short-squeeze movement&nbsp;and that means it could take off at any time.</p>\n<p>The company’s chairman is Ryan Cohen, co-founder and former CEO of&nbsp;<b>Chewy</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CHWY</u></b>). He’s looking for a new CEO who can lead the company’s e-commerce strategy.</p>\n<p>The valuation is high, but good news could trigger more upside. Keep an eye on this one.</p>\n<p><b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond (BBBY)</b></p>\n<p>I actually nominated Bed Bath &amp; Beyond as&nbsp;my pick for the Best Stock of 2021. However, I didn’t do it under the assumption that “Reddit traders” and “meme stocks” would become a thing. When I initially covered this stock, it was all about the company’s transformation.</p>\n<p>Okay fine… part of the thesis<i>was</i>the massive short interest in BBBY stock coming into 2021. Still, I didn’t think we’d see such epic short squeezes across the board.</p>\n<p>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond still has about 65% of its float sold short, although that figure is smaller vs. shares outstanding. Still, the company has turned things around as it focuses on e-commerce and omni-channel solutions. That’s helping fuel BBBY’s free cash flow and earnings and has allowed management to initiate a rather large share repurchase plan.</p>\n<p><b>BlackBerry (BB)</b></p>\n<p>With its low price point and legion of loyal bull traders, BlackBerry has found its way onto the list of traders’ favorite short-squeeze stocks.</p>\n<p>Seriously, there are some dedicated investors in this name. Some have been waiting for years. Others are new to the party. But both groups — and everyone in between — are looking at the bullish potential with BB stock.</p>\n<p>While BlackBerry may not have its smartphone in every business-person’s pocket anymore thanks to&nbsp;<b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>), it does have good software. It also has strong security.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, the automotive industry has become a big contributor to BlackBerry’s business, thanks to all the software, security and interconnectivity of today’s vehicles. Again, good news could create a nice pop in this one if the bulls maintain momentum.</p>\n<p><b>Virgin Galactic (SPCE)</b></p>\n<p>Virgin Galactic has been a short-squeeze favorite for a while now. It’s simply too juicy of a stock<i>not</i>to trade when the environment is right. But let’s not miss Virgin for what it is — this is a&nbsp;speculative stock holding.</p>\n<p>The company doesn’t generate any meaningful revenue and currently operates at a loss due to development and operational overhead. Understandably, short-sellers like to lay into this one as a result. I mean, with no real revenue and an $8.5 billion market cap, who can blame them?</p>\n<p>However, when the short interest gets high (as it often does for SPCE stock), buyers can’t resist the urge to squeeze.</p>\n<p>Virgin hopes to become a space tourism company and is well on its way with its flight milestones. Additionally, it’s working&nbsp;with NASA on high-speed technology. The company recently filed for a shelf registration to sell up to $1 billion in stock, which only makes sense amid the current rally.</p>\n<p>While this would usually sap some of its momentum, a stock offering may trigger more upside in this crazy climate.</p>\n<p><b>Wendy’s (WEN)</b></p>\n<p>Wendy’s has suddenly found itself with a chair at the short-squeeze table. And honestly, this is a fascinating one for me.</p>\n<p>Shares were trading in relatively normal fashion and Wendy’s was never one of the big Reddit stocks back in January. But that didn’t stop the stock from surging more than 25% in a single day. This one is puzzling.</p>\n<p>Wendy’s stock doesn’t have a high short interest (less than 5%). It does have solid growth expectations, but that’s mostly due to a post-coronavirus rebound. However, revenue is forecast to grow 6.7% this year and 2.5% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Where all the hype is coming from, I’m not sure. But if the stock can&nbsp;hold up around $24 to $25, maybe it can retest its highs.</p>\n<p><b>Rocket Companies (RKT)</b></p>\n<p>Rocket Companies has taken the shorts to task before and I’m sure its investors would love nothing more than to do it again. That’s particularly true as shares fell 30% from the May high to the May low. And that<i>doesn’t</i>include the beatdown that Rocket Companies suffered from its first major squeeze higher in March.</p>\n<p>For the record, shares fell more than 60% from that peak to the May trough.</p>\n<p>Since then though, Rocket has found its footing. Unlike Wendy’s, this one does have a higher short interest, although at around 14%, it isn’t exactly high compared to previous Reddit stocks.</p>\n<p>But management has taken its own shots too. When the company reported earnings in February, it announced a special dividend of $1.11 per share. When holding short, short-sellers have to pay the per-share dividend out of their holdings. Further, the company announced a&nbsp;$1 billion buyback in November.</p>\n<p><b>ContextLogic (WISH)</b></p>\n<p>ContextLogic came public at the end of 2020 in mid-December. So I don’t know that I would classify it as one of the original Reddit stocks based on its rally in the first quarter. But the recent price action has “meme stock” written all over it.</p>\n<p>Its rally in Q1 did take ContextLogic north of $30. However, that was likely due to wider market trends, as growth stocks, SPACs, IPOs and other speculative holdings were surging higher.</p>\n<p>This time around though, WISH stock is clearly in focus. With a short interest over 15% and a cheap share price (it was near $7.50 a couple days ago), this one was ripe for some attention. It helps that the stock fell almost 80% from peak to trough.</p>\n<p>It also has solid growth estimates, with revenue expectations of 20% in each of the next three years. The company operates a global e-commerce platform that helps connect users to merchants, while providing various services to the latter.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir (PLTR)</b></p>\n<p>Palantir has somewhat fallen by the wayside lately. While the bulls still love the company’s long-term prospects and as the company continues to add more contracts, the stock price has struggled.</p>\n<p>Like Rocket, shares fell more than 62% from peak to trough, although that’s also counting from the stock’s short-squeeze fueled rally a few months ago. Since then, investors have seen a 40% rally from last month’s low.</p>\n<p>The analyst community is&nbsp;pretty optimistic on this one. They expect 35% revenue growth this year, then 28.5% growth in each of the next two years. That’s pretty darn good and helps justify that 23 times forward revenue valuation it currently commands.</p>\n<p>While it doesn’t have huge short interest at the moment, Palantir is a momentum favorite.

But the price movement in 2021 has been nothing short of breathtaking, making wild entertainment for armchair analysts.\nThe novel coronavirus wreaked havoc on the economy, supply chains and to an extent, our stock market. But coming into 2021, the market had actually done quite well. It shrugged off a global pandemic and made it through a hostile presidential election. It didn’t even flinch during the early January drama in Washington, D.C., when rioters stormed the Capitol.\nAll of that helped lead to the massive rally we saw later in the month and into February. High-growth stocks, SPACs, IPOs and these new Reddit stocks were all the rage.\nCall them what you will, but these stocks have the potential to go on torrid rallies. Some rally hundreds of percent, others can jump thousands of percent over the course of weeks or months. Conversely, many see large gains that evaporate within a few days.\nThat price action has gone from one or two stocks and has now spilled into dozens of different names.AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) has been the recent leader. Here are eight others that may try to lead as well.\n\nGameStop(NYSE:GME)\nBed Bath & Beyond(NASDAQ:BBBY)\nBlackBerry(NYSE:BB)\nVirgin Galactic(NYSE:SPCE)\nWendy’s(NASDAQ:WEN)\nRocket Companies(NYSE:RKT)\nContextLogic(NASDAQ:WISH)\nPalantir(NYSE:PLTR)\n\nThese companies span industries, but the investing thesis is all the same: These names gain traction on online forums as traders hunt for the next candidate to go up 40%, 50% or more in a single session. Then we see all sorts of epic short-squeezes higher.\nGameStop (GME)\nCan we even talk about Reddit stocks without talking about GameStop? Shares are trading well lately, but they haven’t soared like some of these other names. That said, GameStop is roughly a $250 stock — not a single-digit or sub-$20 name, like many others on this list.\nThe company just reported earnings, beating both top- and bottom-line expectations. However the reaction was pretty tough, with shares tumbling on the report. Given its size, it may be difficult for investors to bid GME stock significantly higher, particularly now that its short interest has dropped to a more reasonable level.\nStill, GameStop has been one of the leaders of this short-squeeze movement and that means it could take off at any time.\nThe company’s chairman is Ryan Cohen, co-founder and former CEO of Chewy(NYSE:CHWY). He’s looking for a new CEO who can lead the company’s e-commerce strategy.\nThe valuation is high, but good news could trigger more upside. Keep an eye on this one.\nBed Bath & Beyond (BBBY)\nI actually nominated Bed Bath & Beyond as my pick for the Best Stock of 2021. However, I didn’t do it under the assumption that “Reddit traders” and “meme stocks” would become a thing. When I initially covered this stock, it was all about the company’s transformation.\nOkay fine… part of the thesiswasthe massive short interest in BBBY stock coming into 2021. Still, I didn’t think we’d see such epic short squeezes across the board.\nBed Bath & Beyond still has about 65% of its float sold short, although that figure is smaller vs. shares outstanding. Still, the company has turned things around as it focuses on e-commerce and omni-channel solutions. That’s helping fuel BBBY’s free cash flow and earnings and has allowed management to initiate a rather large share repurchase plan.\nBlackBerry (BB)\nWith its low price point and legion of loyal bull traders, BlackBerry has found its way onto the list of traders’ favorite short-squeeze stocks.\nSeriously, there are some dedicated investors in this name. Some have been waiting for years. Others are new to the party. But both groups — and everyone in between — are looking at the bullish potential with BB stock.\nWhile BlackBerry may not have its smartphone in every business-person’s pocket anymore thanks to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), it does have good software. It also has strong security.\nInterestingly, the automotive industry has become a big contributor to BlackBerry’s business, thanks to all the software, security and interconnectivity of today’s vehicles. Again, good news could create a nice pop in this one if the bulls maintain momentum.\nVirgin Galactic (SPCE)\nVirgin Galactic has been a short-squeeze favorite for a while now. It’s simply too juicy of a stocknotto trade when the environment is right. But let’s not miss Virgin for what it is — this is a speculative stock holding.\nThe company doesn’t generate any meaningful revenue and currently operates at a loss due to development and operational overhead. Understandably, short-sellers like to lay into this one as a result. I mean, with no real revenue and an $8.5 billion market cap, who can blame them?\nHowever, when the short interest gets high (as it often does for SPCE stock), buyers can’t resist the urge to squeeze.\nVirgin hopes to become a space tourism company and is well on its way with its flight milestones. Additionally, it’s working with NASA on high-speed technology. The company recently filed for a shelf registration to sell up to $1 billion in stock, which only makes sense amid the current rally.\nWhile this would usually sap some of its momentum, a stock offering may trigger more upside in this crazy climate.\nWendy’s (WEN)\nWendy’s has suddenly found itself with a chair at the short-squeeze table. And honestly, this is a fascinating one for me.\nShares were trading in relatively normal fashion and Wendy’s was never one of the big Reddit stocks back in January. But that didn’t stop the stock from surging more than 25% in a single day. This one is puzzling.\nWendy’s stock doesn’t have a high short interest (less than 5%). It does have solid growth expectations, but that’s mostly due to a post-coronavirus rebound. However, revenue is forecast to grow 6.7% this year and 2.5% in 2022.\nWhere all the hype is coming from, I’m not sure. But if the stock can hold up around $24 to $25, maybe it can retest its highs.\nRocket Companies (RKT)\nRocket Companies has taken the shorts to task before and I’m sure its investors would love nothing more than to do it again. That’s particularly true as shares fell 30% from the May high to the May low. And thatdoesn’tinclude the beatdown that Rocket Companies suffered from its first major squeeze higher in March.\nFor the record, shares fell more than 60% from that peak to the May trough.\nSince then though, Rocket has found its footing. Unlike Wendy’s, this one does have a higher short interest, although at around 14%, it isn’t exactly high compared to previous Reddit stocks.\nBut management has taken its own shots too. When the company reported earnings in February, it announced a special dividend of $1.11 per share. When holding short, short-sellers have to pay the per-share dividend out of their holdings. Further, the company announced a $1 billion buyback in November.\nContextLogic (WISH)\nContextLogic came public at the end of 2020 in mid-December. So I don’t know that I would classify it as one of the original Reddit stocks based on its rally in the first quarter. But the recent price action has “meme stock” written all over it.\nIts rally in Q1 did take ContextLogic north of $30. However, that was likely due to wider market trends, as growth stocks, SPACs, IPOs and other speculative holdings were surging higher.\nThis time around though, WISH stock is clearly in focus. With a short interest over 15% and a cheap share price (it was near $7.50 a couple days ago), this one was ripe for some attention. It helps that the stock fell almost 80% from peak to trough.\nIt also has solid growth estimates, with revenue expectations of 20% in each of the next three years. The company operates a global e-commerce platform that helps connect users to merchants, while providing various services to the latter.\nPalantir (PLTR)\nPalantir has somewhat fallen by the wayside lately. While the bulls still love the company’s long-term prospects and as the company continues to add more contracts, the stock price has struggled.\nLike Rocket, shares fell more than 62% from peak to trough, although that’s also counting from the stock’s short-squeeze fueled rally a few months ago. Since then, investors have seen a 40% rally from last month’s low.\nThe analyst community is pretty optimistic on this one. They expect 35% revenue growth this year, then 28.5% growth in each of the next two years. That’s pretty darn good and helps justify that 23 times forward revenue valuation it currently commands.\nWhile it doesn’t have huge short interest at the moment, Palantir is a momentum favorite. If the other Reddit stocks are taking a break from the rally, this one may find itself as the next bid-up stock making headlines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185732907,"gmtCreate":1623672724109,"gmtModify":1704208276242,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ermmm","listText":"Ermmm","text":"Ermmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185732907","repostId":"2143778219","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143778219","pubTimestamp":1623671623,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143778219?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14

She appears to be reading it with her eyes closed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":240,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181468558,"gmtCreate":1623407719374,"gmtModify":1704202762229,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181468558","repostId":"2142270549","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":255,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376130968,"gmtCreate":1619096294254,"gmtModify":1704719560975,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376130968","repostId":"1147677476","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147677476","pubTimestamp":1619095248,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147677476?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-22 20:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147677476","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Some older tech companies are offering bargains while newer ones look overpriced.

Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.</p>\n<p>Now NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal.

This strategy includes&nbsp;buying&nbsp;<b>Cardtronics</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>CATM</u></b>), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through&nbsp;JetPay&nbsp;processing, D3 mobile banking&nbsp;software&nbsp;and more.</p>\n<p>NCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it on<i>Tipranks</i>now say this pick of the tech stocks is&nbsp;a buy.</p>\n<p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p>\n<p>After I wrote about IBM&nbsp;recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.</p>\n<p>The numbers weren’t outstanding, but they&nbsp;showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143.

Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to&nbsp;believe&nbsp;in this pick of the tech stocks again.</p>\n<p><b>Verizon (VZ)</b></p>\n<p>Currently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this&nbsp;can&nbsp;lead it back to glory&nbsp;as one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Investors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and&nbsp;<b>Microsoft</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) recently signed&nbsp;long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.</p>\n<p>As with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.</p>\n<p><b>Intel (INTC)</b></p>\n<p>After decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is&nbsp;plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as&nbsp;essential to competitiveness.</p>\n<p>The key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in&nbsp;two new chipmaking plants&nbsp;in Arizona. This is part of an effort to&nbsp;match&nbsp;the process technology of&nbsp;<b>Taiwan Semiconductor</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>), a leader in the space.</p>\n<p>The investment is&nbsp;easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.</p>\n<p>All this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) currently sell for about double that P/S.</p>\n<p>True, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.</p>\n<p><b>Dell (DELL)</b></p>\n<p>In 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.</p>\n<p>But then came a huge investment from&nbsp;<b>Silver Lake</b>, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and&nbsp;more profitable&nbsp;than ever.</p>\n<p>Michael Dell’s personal fortune&nbsp;crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would&nbsp;spin out&nbsp;<b>Vmware</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VMW</u></b>), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.</p>\n<p>Beyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its&nbsp;hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a&nbsp;backup service. Finally, it’s collecting&nbsp;outsourcing contracts&nbsp;from companies like&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>).</p>\n<p>These actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;are calling it&nbsp;a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.</p>\n<p><b>Baidu (BIDU)</b></p>\n<p>Once known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is&nbsp;starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the&nbsp;<b>Iqiyi</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>IQ</u></b>) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.</p>\n<p>Today, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the&nbsp;new rules of the government&nbsp;while also running the&nbsp;risk of being delisted&nbsp;in the United States.</p>\n<p>But it’s this weakness — made worse by&nbsp;the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a&nbsp;big position&nbsp;in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>After all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>A curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks&nbsp;rose.</p>\n<p>BABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in&nbsp;cloud market share&nbsp;and competes head-to-head with Amazon&nbsp;in the Asia-Pacific region.</p>\n<p>That said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on&nbsp;<b>Walmart</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off&nbsp;<b>JD.com</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>JD</u></b>).</p>\n<p>As with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of&nbsp;<b>Facebook</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>).</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback</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\">\n7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-22 20:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/hot-stocks-seven-old-tech-stocks-plotting-new-tech-comeback/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Some older tech companies are offering bargains while newer ones look overpriced\nSource: Shutterstock\n\nEveryone loves the disrupters Cathie Wood buys for her ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK).

It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in cloud market share and competes head-to-head with Amazon in the Asia-Pacific region.\nThat said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on Walmart (NYSE:WMT) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off JD.com (NASDAQ:JD).\nAs with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":694,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378373104,"gmtCreate":1619006500308,"gmtModify":1704718168972,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Keep a lookout","listText":"Keep a lookout","text":"Keep a lookout","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378373104","repostId":"2129829074","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378379775,"gmtCreate":1619006468397,"gmtModify":1704718168648,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378379775","repostId":"2129829074","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315797227,"gmtCreate":1612276433969,"gmtModify":1704869130621,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>???","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>???","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$???","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/315797227","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":182284801,"gmtCreate":1623578191803,"gmtModify":1704206538718,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182284801","repostId":"2143788705","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143788705","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1623530160,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143788705?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-13 04:36","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"'CryptoPunk' NFT sells for $11.8 million at Sotheby's","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143788705","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Sotheby's announced the work was bought by Israeli entrepreneur Shalom Meckenzie, the largest shareh","content":"<blockquote>\n Sotheby's announced the work was bought by Israeli entrepreneur Shalom Meckenzie, the largest shareholder of digital sports company DraftKings.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Who says the NFT bubble has popped ?</b></p>\n<p>A non-fungible token (NFT) of a digital artwork called a CryptoPunk defied expectations and just sold for $11.8 million at Sotheby's on Thursday this week.</p>\n<p>\"CryptoPunks are a set of 10,000 pixel-art characters made by Larva Labs in 2017\" and the mega bucks <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> that sold-- CryptoPunk #7523 -- is \"of the sought-after Alien variety with blue-green skin, and wearing a medical mask,\" according to Reuters .

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.</p><p>\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"</p><p><b>COVID-19 boosted diverse customer base</b></p><p>As of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500. About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The transformation of the ailing brick-and-mortar retailer into an e-commerce powerhouse would require laser-like focus and determination, Cohen told Furlong.</p>\n<p>The role would come with no frills, but it would pay off handsomely in GameStop shares if the turnaround was successful. The majority of Furlong's performance-based compensation will be tied to stock awards.</p>\n<p>The move represents Cohen's boldest gambit yet in his push to attract talent from Amazon. GameStop's market value has soared to $16 billion from $250 million a year ago, as amateur traders challenged hedge funds betting against the company and turned it into a popular \"meme\" stock on Reddit and other social media.</p>\n<p>Most analysts say the valuation of the company is out of whack with the fundamentals of its business, representing a bold bet for any GameStop recruit who accepts the volatile stock as part of their compensation.</p>\n<p>GameStop on Wednesday announced the hiring of Furlong alongside that of Amazon's North American consumer business financial chief Mike Recupero as its chief financial officer. They were the latest Amazon veterans poached by Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online pet supplies retailer Chewy Inc, who joined GameStop's board in January.</p>\n<p>In March, Cohen tapped Amazon operations executive Jenna Owens as chief operating officer, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> month after bringing in top Amazon Web Services engineer Matt Francis as chief technology officer. Another Amazon executive in the e-commerce giant's grocery business, Elliott Wilke, was hired in April as chief growth officer.</p>\n<p>Amazon did not respond to a request for comment.</p>\n<p>Cohen spent two months speaking to more than 50 potential CEO candidates from a range of industries, including gaming and e-commerce, the sources said. Cohen and Furlong had discussed a potential role for him at Chewy more than six years ago, and someone in Cohen's network pointed him back to Furlong as a strong CEO candidate for GameStop, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the sources added.</p>\n<p>Based in Miami, Cohen called Furlong in Australia and held a series of virtual meetings that later included GameStop's board members. The job description called for fixing the company's distribution network, deconstructing its website and delivering on Cohen's vision of high-touch customer service, according to the sources.</p>\n<p>Furlong would be expected to spend long hours on the job without the perks enjoyed by outgoing GameStop CEO George Sherman, such as a company plane and executive assistants, Cohen told him. While Sherman will remain on GameStop's board, he is leaving the CEO role because the board decided he lacks the necessary e-commerce expertise, according to the sources.</p>\n<p>A representative for Sherman declined to comment.</p>\n<p>In his discussions with Furlong, Cohen said previous GameStop executives let order-processing operations and customer service languish, the sources said. Were Furlong to fix these problems, he would be rewarded generously with GameStock shares.</p>\n<p>Details of Furlong's compensation package have not yet been disclosed by GameStop.</p>\n<p>Furlong, 42, was eager for the challenge and happy to relocate to GameStop's headquarters in Grapevine, Texas, the sources said.</p>\n<p>Some GameStop board members even played up the challenges Furlong would face in transforming the company into an \"Amazon of videogames\" to make sure he was committed.</p>\n<p>\"We wanted to know why you would leave the safety and comfort of your current position, essentially kiss your family good-bye, and get in there to build something from the ground up,\" one of the sources familiar with the board's thinking said.</p>\n<p>Cohen also acknowledged during the interview process that the transformation would take time, the sources said.</p>\n<p>Representatives for GameStop, Cohen and Furlong declined to comment.</p>\n<p>\"We have a lot of work in front of us. You won't find us talking a big game, making a bunch of lofty promises or telegraphing our strategy to the competition, that's the philosophy we adopted at Chewy,\" Cohen told GameStop shareholders at the company's annual meeting on Wednesday.</p>\n<p><b>FINANCIAL FIREPOWER</b></p>\n<p>It's not clear how hands-off Cohen, 35, will be at GameStop once Furlong assumes his duties on June 21.

And I can’t stand it anymore.</p>\n<p>If you buy a stock purely because it’s gone up a lot, without doing any research on it whatsoever, you are not—as the Journal and its editors bizarrely insist on calling you—an “investor.” If you buy a cryptocurrency because, hey, that sounds like fun, you aren’t an investor either.</p>\n<p>Whenever you buy any financial asset becauseyou have a hunchorjust for kicks, or becausesomebody famous is hyping the heck out of itoreverybody else seems to be buying it too, you aren’t investing.</p>\n<p>You’re definitely a trader: someone who has just bought an asset. And you may bea speculator: someone who thinks other people will pay more for it than you did.</p>\n<p>Of course,some folkswho buy meme stocks likeGameStopCorp.GME5.88%<i>are</i>investors. They read the companies’ financial statements, study the health of the underlying businesses and learn who else is betting on or against the shares. Likewise, many buyers of digital coins have put in the time and effort to understand how cryptocurrency works and how it could reshape finance.</p>\n<p>An investor relies on internal sources of return: earnings, income, growth in the value of assets. A speculator counts on external sources of return: primarilywhether somebody else will pay more, regardless of fundamental value.</p>\n<p>The word investor comes from the Latin “investire,” to dress in or clothe oneself, surround or envelop. You would never wear clothes without knowing what color they are or what material they’re made of. Likewise, you can’t invest in an asset you know nothing about.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Journal and its editors have long called almost everybody who buys just about anything an “investor.” On July 12, 1962, the Journal publisheda letter to the editorfrom Benjamin Graham, author of the classic books “Security Analysis” and “The Intelligent Investor.” That June, complained Graham, the Journal had run an article headlined “Many Small Investors Bet on Further Drops, Sell Odd Lots Short.”</p>\n<p>He wrote: “By what definition of ‘investment’ can one give the name ‘investors’ to small people who make bets on the stock market by selling odd lots short?” (To short an odd lot is to borrow and sell fewer than 100 shares in a wager that a stock will fall—an expensive and risky bet, then and now.)</p>\n<p>“If these people are investors,” asked Graham, “how should one define ‘speculation’ and ‘speculators’? Isn’t it possible that the currentfailure to distinguishbetweeninvestment and speculationmay do grave harm not only to individuals but to the whole financial community—as it did in the late 1920s?”</p>\n<p>Graham wasn’t a snob who thought that the markets should be the exclusive playground of the rich. He wrote “The Intelligent Investor” with the express purpose of helping less-wealthy people participate wisely in the stock market.</p>\n<p>In that book, after which this column is named, Graham said, “Outright speculation is neither illegal, immoral, nor (for most people) fattening to the pocketbook.”</p>\n<p>However, he warned, it creates three dangers: “(1) speculating when you think you are investing; (2) speculating seriously instead of as a pastime, when you lack proper knowledge and skill for it; and (3) risking more money in speculation than you can afford to lose.”</p>\n<p>Most investors speculate a bit every once in a while. Like a lottery ticket or an occasional visit to the racetrack or casino, a little is harmless fun. A lot isn’t.</p>\n<p>If you think you’re investing when you’re speculating, you’ll attribute even momentary success to skill even thoughluck is the likeliest explanation. That can lead you to take reckless risks.</p>\n<p>Take speculating too seriously, and it turns intoan obsessionandan addiction. You become incapable of accepting your losses or focusing on the future more than a few minutes ahead. Next thing you know, you’re throwing even more money onto the bonfire.</p>\n<p>I think calling traders and speculators “investors” shoves many newcomers farther down the slippery slope toward risks they shouldn’t take and losses they can’t afford. I fervently hope the Journal and its editors will finally stop using “investor” as the default term for anyone who makes a trade.</p>\n<p>“ ‘Investor’ has a long history in the English language as a catch-all term denoting people who commit capital with the expectation of a return, no matter how long or short, no matter how many or how few investing columns they read,” WSJ Financial Editor Charles Forelle said in response to my complaints. “Back at least to the mid-19th century, ‘invest’ has even been used to describe a wager on horses—an activity surely no less divorced from fundamental analysis than a purchase of dogecoin.”</p>\n<p>I hear you, Boss, but I still think you’re wrong.

And I can’t stand it anymore.\nIf you buy a stock purely because it’s gone up a lot, without doing any research on it whatsoever, you are not—as the Journal and its editors bizarrely insist on calling you—an “investor.” If you buy a cryptocurrency because, hey, that sounds like fun, you aren’t an investor either.\nWhenever you buy any financial asset becauseyou have a hunchorjust for kicks, or becausesomebody famous is hyping the heck out of itoreverybody else seems to be buying it too, you aren’t investing.\nYou’re definitely a trader: someone who has just bought an asset. And you may bea speculator: someone who thinks other people will pay more for it than you did.\nOf course,some folkswho buy meme stocks likeGameStopCorp.GME5.88%areinvestors. They read the companies’ financial statements, study the health of the underlying businesses and learn who else is betting on or against the shares. Likewise, many buyers of digital coins have put in the time and effort to understand how cryptocurrency works and how it could reshape finance.\nAn investor relies on internal sources of return: earnings, income, growth in the value of assets. A speculator counts on external sources of return: primarilywhether somebody else will pay more, regardless of fundamental value.\nThe word investor comes from the Latin “investire,” to dress in or clothe oneself, surround or envelop. You would never wear clothes without knowing what color they are or what material they’re made of. Likewise, you can’t invest in an asset you know nothing about.\nNevertheless, the Journal and its editors have long called almost everybody who buys just about anything an “investor.” On July 12, 1962, the Journal publisheda letter to the editorfrom Benjamin Graham, author of the classic books “Security Analysis” and “The Intelligent Investor.” That June, complained Graham, the Journal had run an article headlined “Many Small Investors Bet on Further Drops, Sell Odd Lots Short.”\nHe wrote: “By what definition of ‘investment’ can one give the name ‘investors’ to small people who make bets on the stock market by selling odd lots short?” (To short an odd lot is to borrow and sell fewer than 100 shares in a wager that a stock will fall—an expensive and risky bet, then and now.)\n“If these people are investors,” asked Graham, “how should one define ‘speculation’ and ‘speculators’? Isn’t it possible that the currentfailure to distinguishbetweeninvestment and speculationmay do grave harm not only to individuals but to the whole financial community—as it did in the late 1920s?”\nGraham wasn’t a snob who thought that the markets should be the exclusive playground of the rich. He wrote “The Intelligent Investor” with the express purpose of helping less-wealthy people participate wisely in the stock market.\nIn that book, after which this column is named, Graham said, “Outright speculation is neither illegal, immoral, nor (for most people) fattening to the pocketbook.”\nHowever, he warned, it creates three dangers: “(1) speculating when you think you are investing; (2) speculating seriously instead of as a pastime, when you lack proper knowledge and skill for it; and (3) risking more money in speculation than you can afford to lose.”\nMost investors speculate a bit every once in a while. Like a lottery ticket or an occasional visit to the racetrack or casino, a little is harmless fun. A lot isn’t.\nIf you think you’re investing when you’re speculating, you’ll attribute even momentary success to skill even thoughluck is the likeliest explanation. That can lead you to take reckless risks.\nTake speculating too seriously, and it turns intoan obsessionandan addiction. You become incapable of accepting your losses or focusing on the future more than a few minutes ahead. Next thing you know, you’re throwing even more money onto the bonfire.\nI think calling traders and speculators “investors” shoves many newcomers farther down the slippery slope toward risks they shouldn’t take and losses they can’t afford. I fervently hope the Journal and its editors will finally stop using “investor” as the default term for anyone who makes a trade.\n“ ‘Investor’ has a long history in the English language as a catch-all term denoting people who commit capital with the expectation of a return, no matter how long or short, no matter how many or how few investing columns they read,” WSJ Financial Editor Charles Forelle said in response to my complaints. “Back at least to the mid-19th century, ‘invest’ has even been used to describe a wager on horses—an activity surely no less divorced from fundamental analysis than a purchase of dogecoin.”\nI hear you, Boss, but I still think you’re wrong. There’s no way the Journal would say a recreational gambler is “investing” at the racetrack just because a dictionary says we can.\nCalling novice speculators “investors” is one of the most powerful ways marketers fuel excessive trading.\nIna recent Instagram post, a former porn star who goes by the name Lana Rhoades posed in—well, mostly in—a bikini, as she held up what appears to be Graham’s “The Intelligent Investor.” According to IMDb.com, she starred in such videos as “Tushy” and “Make Me Meow.”\nIn her post, which was “liked” by nearly 1.8 million people, Ms. Rhoades announced that she will be promoting a cryptocurrency calledPAWGcoin.\nThe currency’s website says the coin is meant for “those who pay homage to developed posteriors.” (PAWG, I’ve been reliably informed, stands for Phat Ass White Girl.)\nPAWGcoin is up roughly 900% since Ms. Rhoades began promoting it in early June, according to Poocoin.io, a website that tracks such digital currencies.\nMs. Rhoades, who has tweeted “I also read the WSJ every morning,” couldn’t be reached for comment. PAWGcoin’s website encourages visitors to “invest now.”\nIn Ms. Rhoades’s Instagram post, she is holding up an open copy of the “The Intelligent Investor,” whose cover is reversed. She appears to be reading it with her eyes closed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":240,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376130968,"gmtCreate":1619096294254,"gmtModify":1704719560975,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376130968","repostId":"1147677476","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":694,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378373104,"gmtCreate":1619006500308,"gmtModify":1704718168972,"author":{"id":"3568886991649989","authorId":"3568886991649989","authorIdStr":"3568886991649989","name":"Huuuu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d4a599e0aad24d56a7f8673d2e12414","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3568886991649989"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Keep a lookout","listText":"Keep a lookout","text":"Keep a lookout","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378373104","repostId":"2129829074","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
