fell on Friday, with theDow Jones Industrial Averageposting its worst weekly loss since October, as traders worried the Federal Reserve could start raising rates sooner than expected.\nThe blue-chip average dropped 533.37 points, or 1.6%, to 33,290.08. TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168750631,"gmtCreate":1623984519323,"gmtModify":1703825567262,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"PLTR to the moon!","listText":"PLTR to the moon!","text":"PLTR to the moon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168750631","repostId":"1180977741","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180977741","pubTimestamp":1623981539,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180977741?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: The Untold Truth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180977741","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nPalantir is often criticized for its lofty valuation multiples, stagnating customer base an","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Palantir is often criticized for its lofty valuation multiples, stagnating customer base and its bleak margin profile.</li>\n <li>But the company is actually doing well in terms of customer growth, margin expansion and government order wins.</li>\n <li>Investors with a long-term time horizon may want to accumulate its shares on potential price corrections.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6abc7f93f4c7e615f66dca20523d1c16\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1077\"><span>C Flanigan/Getty Images Entertainment</span></p>\n<p>Palantir (PLTR) is lately being lambasted in various investing forums on speculative grounds such as how its growth momentum could fizzle out soon, how its margin profile is dragging the company down and that the stock doesn’t justify its price premium. But the company isn't as bad. On the contrary, the data analytics firm is performing well on several parameters – such as customer growth, government order wins and margin expansion – which should come as an encouraging sign for its long-side investors and dispel such speculative bearish narratives. Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p><b>Rapid Customer Growth</b></p>\n<p>Bears have been criticizing Palantir for its bespoke functionality ever since it went public. Its platforms involve customization for various workflows and customer needs, so bears feel the company faces difficulty in onboarding several customers at once and as a result, it’s bottlenecked and its growth momentum can fizzle out. While I respect contrasting opinions, fact of the matter here is that Palantir doesn’t seem to be struggling with customer adds.</p>\n<p>The company’s customer count increased by over 7% on a sequential basis in Q1 2021. Our database at Business Quant reveals that this pace of growth is actually higher than that reported by some of the other renowned names in the software application and infrastructure industries. This immediately dispels the narrative that Palantir faces difficulty in scaling customer relationships due to its bespoke features, whenit's performing better than peers in this regard.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37577e60466b8a980efd8bee77b02711\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"516\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The company’s elevated pace of customer additions shouldn’t come as a surprise to my readers. I’ve explained in my prior articles how the company is undertaking a slew of measures – such as adopting a customer-friendly&nbsp;payment model, ramping up its&nbsp;sales function&nbsp;and introducing&nbsp;free trials&nbsp;for major enterprises – to expand its customer base. These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.</p>\n<p>Having said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies. It suggests that Palantir is yet to penetrate its target market in a big way and that its lower base effect makes it easier for the company to continue expanding its customer base at elevated rates.</p>\n<p>There are broadly four takeaways here, which, by the way, the bears seem to discount time and again. These are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Palantir's target market isn't saturated yet and it can still find new customers with ease,</li>\n <li>These new customers are bound to lift the company’s revenue higher in 2021 by a varied magnitude, depending on their contract value,</li>\n <li>If these are recurring contracts, then that’s going to boost Palantir’s future revenue projections and guidance,</li>\n <li>If these new customers eventually ramp up their spend, then that's also going to boost Palantir’s future cash flows.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Regarding the last bullet, it's worth noting that Palantir’s top 20 customers, in general, have significantly ramped up their spending on the company’s data analytics platforms in each of the last 10 years. This new batch of customers, and any future customer additions, could also go through this spending expansion phase in the subsequent years and gradually boost Palantir’s revenue along the way. So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4923a1dd5cc6af812c6dd7b8335f878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"426\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p><b>Margin Expansion</b></p>\n<p>Another issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet. While some feel the stock will remain subdued due to its weak margin profile, others feel it can collapse down to single digits. The frustration is understandable given the company posted a net loss of $0.07 per share in its most recent quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/facd3a7bf5326c841c6f0e79d392d160\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"125\"><span>(Source:Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>But I wanted to see for myself if Palantir’s margin profile was actually as hopeless as many believe it to be. So, I compiled the margin profiles for about 90 software infrastructure stocks listed on US bourses. There's no denying that the company's net profit margin is in the red. But what's surprising here is that Palantir had actually posted one of the highest sequential net margin expansions in Q1, in its peer group. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect of Palantir’s business hasn’t been discussed on any investing forum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25614333f421bbcdaf90b43a6ed8e011\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"552\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>The company may not have been profitable so far, but that doesn’t mean it will remain unprofitable in the future as well. If its recent pace of margin expansion continues in the next several quarters, the company could become profitable in the next 2 to 3 years without sacrificing on its growth momentum. So, let’s give credit where it’s due. The community of professional analysts also shares this line of thought and projects Palantir's margin profile to materially improve going forward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b0017c547d56295730e8f7f4124935d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\"><span>(Source:MarketScreener)</span></p>\n<p>Besides, with public shareholding involved now, its management is likely to be under constant pressure to deliver breakneck revenue growth rates, and/or achieve profitability in the near future, or risk being voted out of their positions. This pressure may not have been as intense prior to its direct listing, when fewer shareholders were involved. So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.</p>\n<p><b>Government Contract Wins</b></p>\n<p>Moving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business. For the uninitiated, its revenue from government contracts rose 76% year over year, accounted for about 61% of the company's overall revenue, in Q1.</p>\n<p>Unless the company botches up somewhere, these government agencies are likely going to internally recommend it for varied applications. They won’t have to qualify Palantir time and again for several criteria which could drive these internal cross-agency referrals in a speedy manner and these agencies might even ramp up their spending in pre-existing contracts. So, Palantir just needs to rinse-and-repeat its B2G (Business-to-Government) strategy, and its government revenue could continue growing rapidly.</p>\n<p>Palantir has also made steady progress with regards to its government business so far in Q2. Its Q2 is still ongoing, but at the time of this writing, the company has over $36 million worth of new current action obligations from government deals, agreements and contracts, most of which haven’t made the headlines. For the uninitiated, a new deal could be an addition to pre-existing deal, expand the scope of previously agreed upon deliverables, it could be entirely new in nature, have varied execution periods that span from months to years and/or also have a recurring revenue stream attached to it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/091203d7b476076ff008ca0c3b0f6ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>So, while there are several variables that prevent us from reliably estimating the near-term revenue impact from these deals, Palantir’s shareholders with a long-term time horizon should feel reassured that their company continues to make steady progress towards growing its government business.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s shares are currently trading at about 43-times its trailing twelve-month sales which is, undeniably, high by conventional standards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40584e7d2ca5458e8609338887f80e2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>However, its rich valuations alone shouldn't be the basis of a bear thesis.

But the company isn't as bad. On the contrary, the data analytics firm is performing well on several parameters – such as customer growth, government order wins and margin expansion – which should come as an encouraging sign for its long-side investors and dispel such speculative bearish narratives. Let's take a closer look.\nRapid Customer Growth\nBears have been criticizing Palantir for its bespoke functionality ever since it went public. Its platforms involve customization for various workflows and customer needs, so bears feel the company faces difficulty in onboarding several customers at once and as a result, it’s bottlenecked and its growth momentum can fizzle out. While I respect contrasting opinions, fact of the matter here is that Palantir doesn’t seem to be struggling with customer adds.\nThe company’s customer count increased by over 7% on a sequential basis in Q1 2021. Our database at Business Quant reveals that this pace of growth is actually higher than that reported by some of the other renowned names in the software application and infrastructure industries. This immediately dispels the narrative that Palantir faces difficulty in scaling customer relationships due to its bespoke features, whenit's performing better than peers in this regard.\n\nThe company’s elevated pace of customer additions shouldn’t come as a surprise to my readers. I’ve explained in my prior articles how the company is undertaking a slew of measures – such as adopting a customer-friendly payment model, ramping up its sales function and introducing free trials for major enterprises – to expand its customer base. These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.\nHaving said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies. It suggests that Palantir is yet to penetrate its target market in a big way and that its lower base effect makes it easier for the company to continue expanding its customer base at elevated rates.\nThere are broadly four takeaways here, which, by the way, the bears seem to discount time and again. These are:\n\nPalantir's target market isn't saturated yet and it can still find new customers with ease,\nThese new customers are bound to lift the company’s revenue higher in 2021 by a varied magnitude, depending on their contract value,\nIf these are recurring contracts, then that’s going to boost Palantir’s future revenue projections and guidance,\nIf these new customers eventually ramp up their spend, then that's also going to boost Palantir’s future cash flows.\n\nRegarding the last bullet, it's worth noting that Palantir’s top 20 customers, in general, have significantly ramped up their spending on the company’s data analytics platforms in each of the last 10 years. This new batch of customers, and any future customer additions, could also go through this spending expansion phase in the subsequent years and gradually boost Palantir’s revenue along the way. So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nMargin Expansion\nAnother issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet. While some feel the stock will remain subdued due to its weak margin profile, others feel it can collapse down to single digits. The frustration is understandable given the company posted a net loss of $0.07 per share in its most recent quarter.\n(Source:Seeking Alpha)\nBut I wanted to see for myself if Palantir’s margin profile was actually as hopeless as many believe it to be. So, I compiled the margin profiles for about 90 software infrastructure stocks listed on US bourses. There's no denying that the company's net profit margin is in the red. But what's surprising here is that Palantir had actually posted one of the highest sequential net margin expansions in Q1, in its peer group. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect of Palantir’s business hasn’t been discussed on any investing forum.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nThe company may not have been profitable so far, but that doesn’t mean it will remain unprofitable in the future as well. If its recent pace of margin expansion continues in the next several quarters, the company could become profitable in the next 2 to 3 years without sacrificing on its growth momentum. So, let’s give credit where it’s due. The community of professional analysts also shares this line of thought and projects Palantir's margin profile to materially improve going forward.\n(Source:MarketScreener)\nBesides, with public shareholding involved now, its management is likely to be under constant pressure to deliver breakneck revenue growth rates, and/or achieve profitability in the near future, or risk being voted out of their positions. This pressure may not have been as intense prior to its direct listing, when fewer shareholders were involved. So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.\nGovernment Contract Wins\nMoving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business.

'The truth is that the","content":"<p>'The claims that \"the office is dead\" are over-hyped,' Twilio executive says. 'The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.'</p>\n<p>As they return to work, employees of website platform Contentful Inc. are getting an eyeful of their new offices in Berlin and Denver and a realigned headquarters in San Francisco, which include hallmarks of the post-pandemic workplace -- a theater in Berlin and group rooms in San Francisco that are devoted to interactive meetings, with kitchen space doubled.</p>\n<p>\"We think the office is a social place first,\" Contentful Chief Executive Steve Sloan told MarketWatch. \"The office is where the great ideas are hatched -- especially in an idea-centric economy.\"</p>\n<p>Millions of tech workers are slowly making the migration back to offices as millions become fully vaccinated and states lift restrictions. At Contentful, all 550 employees, including Sloan, will continue to work from home most of the time, and occasionally venture into the office for socializing and collaboration.</p>\n<p>But many of those returning may not recognize the new digs, which are largely being designed to foster a nexus of ideas shared in theater-like settings and socially-distanced conference rooms, with specialized break-out areas for brainstorming and socializing. Workers will need to get used to the new office lingo of dynamic spaces and hoteling.</p>\n<p>\"It's about going into the tunnel, and coming out of the tunnel,\" VMware Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Poonen told MarketWatch, about a conservative return to the office. \"This is sort of like a traffic jam -- you slow down, and then gradually regain speed. We will get back to normalcy.\"</p>\n<p>Tech companies -- among the first to ask employees to work from home during the pandemic -- are leading the return to the office by the fall. Their reopening plans offer a glimpse into office life of the next few years, with a heavy emphasis on a hybrid work model and three-day work weeks onsite, as well as no vaccine requirements. California's COVID-19 state of emergency order will remain in place beyond June 15, despite plans to fully reopen the state's economy on that date, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.</p>\n<p>\"Three days a week [in the office] is the new five,\" <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWLO\">Twilio Inc</a>. (TWLO) Chief People Officer Christy Lake told MarketWatch, noting that 77% of the company's employees said they miss the office. \"The claims that 'the office is dead' are over-hyped. The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.\"</p>\n<p>Dynamic spaces will occupy a key part of Twilio's plans. The San Francisco-based company has revamped offices with specific areas for open collaboration, community and socializing, heads-down work, and flexible multipurpose spaces, said Lake, who added that some employees will trickle back to Twilio's Bay Area offices beginning July 14. Employees have the option of working from home throughout the year.</p>\n<p>Pre-pandemic, many in Silicon Valley were already on the path to a hybrid situation. Advances in videoconferencing technology and bandwidth had given them the luxury of working from home several days a week to avoid car-choked freeways. And employers were OK with the arrangement to scoop up talent from across the country. What COVID did was accelerate a work trend that was already clearly in motion, said Heather Kernahan, global CEO at PR agency Hotwire.</p>\n<p>\"It's not going 'back to work.' We've been working hard,\" Kernahan said. \"Thoughtful working is what you do, not where you go.\"</p>\n<p>An exodus back to the office is likely to occur by September, based on data collected by real-estate company Savills, which surveyed more than 120 tech companies in March. More than half said they expect to be back in the office by the third quarter of this calendar year.</p>\n<p>Silicon Valley's largest employers, sitting on millions of square feet of land they own, have been particularly aggressive in dictating when workers get back. How that pans out in an era when employees are increasingly outspoken about work conditions, including the option to work exclusively from home, bears watching, say labor experts.</p>\n<p>While employees at smaller companies have overwhelmingly shown a preference to return, those at Apple and other behemoths aren't so sure, given the large number of people congregating in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> place.</p>\n<p>Shortly after Apple Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> pronounced employees must work in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) beginning in early September -- including at Apple Park, the futuristic \"spaceship\"-like headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., that the company spent an estimated $5 billion to design and build -- some workers pushed back.</p>\n<p>\"We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues,\" Apple employees said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook. \"That Apple's remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple.\"</p>\n<p>Google parent Alphabet Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">$(GOOGL)$</a>(GOOGL) said it expects about 20% of its workforce to remain fully remote this fall , while 60% will work a hybrid office/home mix.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc. (FB) employees have returned to a 10% maximum capacity at corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., and other select San Francisco Bay Area offices. Facebook is likely to fully reopen most U.S. offices by October, and non-remote employees will work in offices at least half the time. The company and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> Inc. (TWTR) have said employees will be allowed to permanently work from home if their jobs allow for it.</p>\n<p>MarketWatch talked to at least 20 companies, and a handful, including Twilio and Box, require employees to be vaccinated before returning to the office. Facebook and Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a>, for example, only encourage employees to vaccinate.</p>\n<p>Others, however, have taken a more measured approach.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM.AU\">$(CRM.AU)$</a> reopened its first U.S. office, the Salesforce <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWR.AU\">Tower</a> headquarters in San Francisco, in May. Offices in Palo Alto, Calif., and Irvine, Calif, will follow in the coming months. At the same time, the company extended the option for all employees to continue to work from home through the end of 2021.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OKTA\">Okta Inc.</a> (OKTA) is shifting from large, campus-type locations serving regions to distributed offices based on where employees live. The new offices will function like Apple stores -- an \"experiential place\" where customers and partners can learn about products and chat with experts, and employees can collaborate as needed, an Okta spokeswoman told MarketWatch.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BOX\">Box Inc</a>. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BOX.UK\">$(BOX.UK)$</a> is opening its San Francisco office in mid-July and its Redwood City, Calif., headquarters in early August at limited capacity, per local regulations. What its workers will encounter is a mix of assigned desks and hoteling, a form of office management in which workers schedule their use of desks, cubicles and offices. But travel remains prohibited until at least later this summer, and quarterly all-hands meetings will remain virtual through Feb. 1, 2022.</p>\n<p>Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HPE\">$(HPE)$</a> has divided its workforce into two classes: \"Edge\" workers will come to the office with their laptops once or twice a week for meetings, collaboration and culture. \"Office\" workers will maintain dedicated work stations and come to the office most days.</p>\n<p>German software giant SAP (SAP.XE), which has a Palo Alto, Calif., campus, opened its offices in late April at less than 5% daily capacity for \"employees who choose to return to the office for business critical needs,\" a spokesperson said.</p>\n<p>Then there are outliers like VMware Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VMW\">$(VMW)$</a>, where few employees currently work onsite. The company is offering employees the choice to permanently work from home as part of a digital-first approach.

The more a stock becomes disjointed with the fundamental realities, the greater the struggle. Investors internally debate, rationalize and self-negotiate with the following unknown questions:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Is a double, triple or a ten bagger enough?</li>\n <li>Should I take short term profits on all or some?</li>\n <li>Momentum seems strong, should I buy more at these levels in hopes to ride it higher?</li>\n <li>Should I just keep it on the table for the long term?</li>\n <li>Who will blink first?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These psychological effects normally follow a scripted playbook that technical analysts can normally rely on. However, meme stocks are not normal by any stretch as witnessed by the extreme emotional back and forth battle between sellers and buyers.

Buyers will attempt to hang on for as long as possible in hopes to inflict as much pain on the sellers as possible, also keeping an eye on solvency.</p>\n<p>Objectively and mathematically speaking, bulls will always have an inherent advantage.

The delicate balancing act on the head of the pin with respect to over diluting could most certainly trigger a selloff of epic proportions. The paper-hand temptations exist everywhere and the bears know it and rely on it. That is why the fundamentals do matter a lot and must be drastically and positively changed and in a hurry.</p>\n<p>Now that millions of apes have put a band aid on AMC, it is imperative for Aron to put forth a winning strategic business plan leading into any further dilution.

I’m sure there may be many that fit all three. Regardless of whether you fit into one, two or all three of the characteristics above, you may want to be prepared for my next statement.

Unfortunately, for many shareholders, the \"promotional period\" has gone on for too long and patience is wearing thin. On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this as it allows them to continue adding to their shares.</p>\n<p>Regardless, as a writer on numerousChinese internet stockswhose share prices have remained depressed for months and reading the harsh comments, it can get disheartening. As a shareholder in several of them myself, I understand the emotions going through the mind.</p>\n<p>At the same time, there have been many wise readers and fellow authors who provided sound advice that keeps me on the path. For instance, Gary Alexander recently wrote regarding thetech sell-off:</p>\n<blockquote>\n \"When the selloff in the tech sector has proven to be this indiscriminate (good and bad, cheap and expensive stocks are all being sold off at roughly the same pace), it's our job as diligent investors to be extremely discerning in the buying opportunities that have surfaced.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>With BABA stock having given up all its gains in the past year, it's scant comfort to know the share price is still 58 percent higher than early 2019. Nevertheless, I am bringing this up because Alibaba was being shunned by investors then due to the headwinds from the U.S.-China trade war.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90c1a30b5b83eb51c67338eab37cb5e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Now that the e-commerce and cloud giant has considerably more challenges on hand, yet the share price manages to be substantially higher. This provides a glimpse into the possible future where Alibaba Group Holding Limited overcome its immediate struggles and investors clamor for its shares again.</p>\n<p>That said, how do we justify that BABA stock is on sale? Well, let's look at the valuation. Both Alibaba Group and its U.S. peer Amazon.com (AMZN) have delivered solid revenue and earnings growth in the past years. The improvement in business fundamentals has led investors in both companies to think it would only get tougher to achieve returns expected of a growth stock, compressing their price-earnings multiples.</p>\n<p>Looking at the more representative enterprise value to free cash flow [EV/FCF] ratio, it becomes apparent that the market is valuing Alibaba much lower than Amazon.

On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this.\nAlibaba has considerably more challenges on hand now than in early 2019 (U.S.-China trade war), yet the share price manages to be substantially higher.\nDrawing a straightforward trend line price chart, BABA shares could reach $1,000 sometime in the first quarter of 2027 if it crawls along with the support level.\nAlibaba's P/E ratio would compress to a mere 11 times on a forward basis (FY2026) and this is based on the current depressed environment.\nAn investment in Alibaba has several risk factors and I wish to highlight two key ones.\n\nBABA stock is on sale\nLike the millions of items on its platforms, Alibaba Group (BABA) is on sale. Unfortunately, for many shareholders, the \"promotional period\" has gone on for too long and patience is wearing thin. On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this as it allows them to continue adding to their shares.\nRegardless, as a writer on numerousChinese internet stockswhose share prices have remained depressed for months and reading the harsh comments, it can get disheartening. As a shareholder in several of them myself, I understand the emotions going through the mind.\nAt the same time, there have been many wise readers and fellow authors who provided sound advice that keeps me on the path. For instance, Gary Alexander recently wrote regarding thetech sell-off:\n\n \"When the selloff in the tech sector has proven to be this indiscriminate (good and bad, cheap and expensive stocks are all being sold off at roughly the same pace), it's our job as diligent investors to be extremely discerning in the buying opportunities that have surfaced.\"\n\nWith BABA stock having given up all its gains in the past year, it's scant comfort to know the share price is still 58 percent higher than early 2019. Nevertheless, I am bringing this up because Alibaba was being shunned by investors then due to the headwinds from the U.S.-China trade war.\n\nNow that the e-commerce and cloud giant has considerably more challenges on hand, yet the share price manages to be substantially higher. This provides a glimpse into the possible future where Alibaba Group Holding Limited overcome its immediate struggles and investors clamor for its shares again.\nThat said, how do we justify that BABA stock is on sale? Well, let's look at the valuation. Both Alibaba Group and its U.S. peer Amazon.com (AMZN) have delivered solid revenue and earnings growth in the past years. The improvement in business fundamentals has led investors in both companies to think it would only get tougher to achieve returns expected of a growth stock, compressing their price-earnings multiples.\nLooking at the more representative enterprise value to free cash flow [EV/FCF] ratio, it becomes apparent that the market is valuing Alibaba much lower than Amazon. The EV/FCF is only 16 times for Alibaba and 72 times for Amazon.\n\nWith a 3-year revenue CAGR and a 5-year revenue CAGR above 40 percent, it's hard to argue Alibaba Group is not a growth stock. Amazon only managed to deliver around 30 percent CAGR for both its 3-year and 5-year revenues. For the last reported quarter, Alibaba scored a 64 percent increase in revenue. Its forward revenue growth of 35.3 percent surpasses that of Amazon as well.\n\n\n\nBABA\nAMZN\n\n\nRevenue Growth [YoY]\n40.7%\n41.5%\n\n\nRevenue Growth [FWD]\n35.3%\n27.2%\n\n\nRevenue 3 Year [CAGR]\n42.1%\n29.5%\n\n\nRevenue 5 Year [CAGR]\n48.0%\n29.9%\n\n\n\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium (data extracted on June 6, 2021)\nDuring times of uncertainty, it is imperative that companies have plenty of liquidity.

In other words, Alibaba has much more cash at its disposal relative to Amazon when we compare the enterprise values of the two companies.

I am also not considering the scenario that Alibaba becomes a meme stock which is possible since Redditors tend to promote stocks that are \"hated\" by the market. I am assuming the adage that the stock market is a weighing machine, in the long run, will come to fruition for BABA.\nIs that thought farfetched? Just a couple of months back, I would answer a categorical no. However, as you will see from the chart, BABA's share price has dipped below the long-term support line. Some stocks have experienced such a chart pattern and managed to return above the support-turned-resistance line.

AMC Entertainment Holdings just went on its seco","content":"<p>Are meme traders running out of fresh ironic picks? AMC Entertainment Holdings just went on its second madcap run-up in less than six months. As a rotary native in a digital world, I can’t hope to keep up with the young, idle, and fiscally stimulated capitalists monetizing their ability to quickly spot chat-room microtrends in off-the-radar assets. But if the Reddit and Robinhood set has started recycling old jokes, well, that’s something I know a thing or two about.</p>\n<p>All I have to do now is screen the universe of past meme gainers for ones that now look like bargains. Granted, that can be challenging in asset classes that lack cash flows and defy traditional valuation.</p>\n<p>I’ve done some early theoretical work on a Capital ASS Coin Pricing Model, named of course for&nbsp;Australian Safe Shepherd, the cryptocurrency launched in April, whose canine theme is a nod to Dogecoin, which is itself a parody of Bitcoin, and whose cheeky acronym makes it endlessly memeable.</p>\n<p>Come to think of it, if past meme trades are coming around again, maybe that’s an idea for investors seeking terrible ideas at discounted prices. ASS recently changed hands at a hundred-millionth of a cent, down from over six hundred-millionths of a cent last month. Bottom-fishing, indeed—and inflation hawks will appreciate that future supply is capped by design at 200 sextillion coins.</p>\n<p>Meme-trade sequels can be just as action-packed as the originals, as AMC (ticker: AMC) has proved. The theater chain started this year at $2 a share, and hit $20 during the&nbsp;GameStop(GME) frenzy in late January. Then, it cooled to single digits late last month, before exploding to over $70 at one point this past week. The rise this time, like last, was linked to punch-line posting on Reddit, elevated short interest ripe for squeezing, and high volume in call options.</p>\n<p>AMC has used the run-up to issue obscene amounts of new stock. There are 513 million or so shares out now, up from 104 million a year ago. The company has multiplied about 20 times in value during a pandemic that shuttered its theaters, ballooned its debt, and accelerated Hollywood’s shift toward making movies for streaming rather than big screens.</p>\n<p>True, the proceeds from those stock sales convert trading hype into real-world assets. But if that’s a sustainable investment thesis, it’s time to start bulk-buying and guzzling Schlitz to profit from the five-cent bottle deposits.</p>\n<p>To be clear, the movie theater business, while deeply challenged, is recovering by the day.<i>A Quiet Place Part II</i>took in nearly $60 million over Memorial Day weekend—a success, with or without the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Chad Beynon of Macquarie Research, sees “great value” in two theater names,Cinemark Holdings(CNK) and&nbsp;IMAX(IMAX), but not in AMC. He points out that before the pandemic, in 2019, AMC and Cinemark produced similar earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, but that AMC recently had 10 times Cinemark’s market value.</p>\n<p>BlackBerry&nbsp;(BB) also had its second blastoff of the year this past week. It, like AMC, fits the theme of traders showing improbable levels of enthusiasm for left-behind stocks the establishment has bet against. But what’s the next forgotten meme trade that fun-seekers will clown-car into?</p>\n<p>Please don’t say Bitcoin. It’s down from a high of $63,000 in April to a recent $37,000, but Tesla chief and crypto thought leader Elon Musk this past week tweeted a pair of relationship breakup memes that made veiled reference to Bitcoin. According to my discounted hashtag flow analysis, that’s the equivalent of a double downgrade on Wall Street.</p>\n<p>Wrong-name stocks have potential, but the blue chip of the group,Zoom Technologies(ZTNO), was asked by regulators to change its ticker from ZOOM after jumping one too many times in sympathy with&nbsp;Zoom Video Communications(ZM).AMC Networks(AMCX), the television concern that’s unrelated to the theater business, is another classic, but it’s too late—it jumped 13% on Friday.</p>\n<p>For now, I have my eye on cannabis crypto, nonfungible emoji tokens, and celebrity SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, now that the market has sold off. Basketball’s Shaquille O’Neal is on his second one, and Shaq rhymes with SPAC, which meme-logically speaking, could be a durable competitive advantage.</p>\n<p>Investment bank UBS likes package delivery but not boxes, it seems. In a roundup this past week of its “highest-conviction picks,” the bank predicted that&nbsp;FedEx(FDX) would rise to $383 a share, which would make for a gain of 27% from recent levels, but that&nbsp;International Paper(IP) would slip to $44, for a decline of 32%.</p>\n<p>FedEx trades at 15 times projected earnings for the coming four quarters, and IP, 13 times. Thomas Wadewitz, the FedEx analyst, likes that there is tight supply and elevated demand for parcel delivery, suggesting that profit margins will rise into next year.

AMC Entertainment Holdings just went on its second madcap run-up in less than six months. As a rotary native in a digital world, I can’t hope to keep up with the young, idle, and fiscally stimulated capitalists monetizing their ability to quickly spot chat-room microtrends in off-the-radar assets. But if the Reddit and Robinhood set has started recycling old jokes, well, that’s something I know a thing or two about.\nAll I have to do now is screen the universe of past meme gainers for ones that now look like bargains. Granted, that can be challenging in asset classes that lack cash flows and defy traditional valuation.\nI’ve done some early theoretical work on a Capital ASS Coin Pricing Model, named of course for Australian Safe Shepherd, the cryptocurrency launched in April, whose canine theme is a nod to Dogecoin, which is itself a parody of Bitcoin, and whose cheeky acronym makes it endlessly memeable.\nCome to think of it, if past meme trades are coming around again, maybe that’s an idea for investors seeking terrible ideas at discounted prices. ASS recently changed hands at a hundred-millionth of a cent, down from over six hundred-millionths of a cent last month. Bottom-fishing, indeed—and inflation hawks will appreciate that future supply is capped by design at 200 sextillion coins.\nMeme-trade sequels can be just as action-packed as the originals, as AMC (ticker: AMC) has proved. The theater chain started this year at $2 a share, and hit $20 during the GameStop(GME) frenzy in late January. Then, it cooled to single digits late last month, before exploding to over $70 at one point this past week. The rise this time, like last, was linked to punch-line posting on Reddit, elevated short interest ripe for squeezing, and high volume in call options.\nAMC has used the run-up to issue obscene amounts of new stock. There are 513 million or so shares out now, up from 104 million a year ago. The company has multiplied about 20 times in value during a pandemic that shuttered its theaters, ballooned its debt, and accelerated Hollywood’s shift toward making movies for streaming rather than big screens.\nTrue, the proceeds from those stock sales convert trading hype into real-world assets. But if that’s a sustainable investment thesis, it’s time to start bulk-buying and guzzling Schlitz to profit from the five-cent bottle deposits.\nTo be clear, the movie theater business, while deeply challenged, is recovering by the day.A Quiet Place Part IItook in nearly $60 million over Memorial Day weekend—a success, with or without the pandemic.\nChad Beynon of Macquarie Research, sees “great value” in two theater names,Cinemark Holdings(CNK) and IMAX(IMAX), but not in AMC. He points out that before the pandemic, in 2019, AMC and Cinemark produced similar earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, but that AMC recently had 10 times Cinemark’s market value.\nBlackBerry (BB) also had its second blastoff of the year this past week. It, like AMC, fits the theme of traders showing improbable levels of enthusiasm for left-behind stocks the establishment has bet against. But what’s the next forgotten meme trade that fun-seekers will clown-car into?\nPlease don’t say Bitcoin. It’s down from a high of $63,000 in April to a recent $37,000, but Tesla chief and crypto thought leader Elon Musk this past week tweeted a pair of relationship breakup memes that made veiled reference to Bitcoin. According to my discounted hashtag flow analysis, that’s the equivalent of a double downgrade on Wall Street.\nWrong-name stocks have potential, but the blue chip of the group,Zoom Technologies(ZTNO), was asked by regulators to change its ticker from ZOOM after jumping one too many times in sympathy with Zoom Video Communications(ZM).AMC Networks(AMCX), the television concern that’s unrelated to the theater business, is another classic, but it’s too late—it jumped 13% on Friday.\nFor now, I have my eye on cannabis crypto, nonfungible emoji tokens, and celebrity SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, now that the market has sold off. Basketball’s Shaquille O’Neal is on his second one, and Shaq rhymes with SPAC, which meme-logically speaking, could be a durable competitive advantage.\nInvestment bank UBS likes package delivery but not boxes, it seems. In a roundup this past week of its “highest-conviction picks,” the bank predicted that FedEx(FDX) would rise to $383 a share, which would make for a gain of 27% from recent levels, but that International Paper(IP) would slip to $44, for a decline of 32%.\nFedEx trades at 15 times projected earnings for the coming four quarters, and IP, 13 times. Thomas Wadewitz, the FedEx analyst, likes that there is tight supply and elevated demand for parcel delivery, suggesting that profit margins will rise into next year. In particular, supply-chain mayhem has left factories and retailers with too little inventory, and leaving plenty of need for business-to-business shipments.\nCleve Rueckert, the analyst on IP, estimates that containerboard for boxes is oversupplied to a degree that will drag prices down 5% next year from this year. Input costs, meanwhile, are rising. Containerboard mills that are reopening or under construction could add 7% to supply. Following the pandemic e-commerce spree, demand for containerboard will rise only 1% to 1.5% a year through 2024, Rueckert reckons.\nIP relies on containerboard for 80% of Ebitda. China is halting imports of America’s old boxes, which could depress prices for recycled packaging that competes with containerboard.\nWhether recycled memes can outperform repurposed boxes remains to be seen.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":118962231,"gmtCreate":1622713821223,"gmtModify":1704189492652,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stonks!","listText":"Stonks!","text":"Stonks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/118962231","repostId":"1199260572","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199260572","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1622707331,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199260572?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-03 16:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meme stocks are flying again in premarket trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199260572","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Meme stocks are flying again in premarket trading.BlackBerry,AMC Entertainment,Sundial Growers and GameStop climbed between 2% and 28%.BlackBerry Limited continues to see increased interest from retail investors and has now overtaken AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. to emerge as the most-mentioned stock on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets forum.The moonshot surge in the shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. has vaulted it into the ranks of some of the world’s most valuable companies.The company has ","content":"<p>Meme stocks are flying again in premarket trading.BlackBerry,AMC&nbsp;Entertainment,Sundial&nbsp;Growers&nbsp;and&nbsp;GameStop&nbsp;climbed between 2% and 28%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbc960badd90a595952eb8ae3d0634dd\" tg-width=\"372\" tg-height=\"603\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>BlackBerry Limited</b>&nbsp;continues to see increased interest from retail investors and has now overtaken&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.</b>&nbsp;to emerge as the most-mentioned stock on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets forum.</p><p>The&nbsp;moonshot surge&nbsp;in the shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. has vaulted it into the ranks of some of the world’s most valuable companies.</p><p>The company has gone from a small cap to a large cap in the space of a few months.

This is understandable, considering that the cryptocurrency is up 7,733% so far this year, far ahead of the benchmark<b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s returns of 11.84%&nbsp;in the same time frame.</p><p>Investors, however, should also consider Dogecoin's high volatility. Dogecoin has tanked by more than 50% from its all-time high of $0.74 in the past month (so, yes, at one point it was up more than 14,000%). This cryptocurrency is not backed by any asset and hardly has anysustainable advantageover rivals in terms of transaction fees or processing and settlement speeds. And with no hard limit to the number of Dogecoins that can be mined, this cryptocurrency is extremely sensitive to headline risk.</p><p>This makes Dogecoin a highly speculative investment for retail investors -- one that should mostly be avoided. Instead,<b>NVIDIA</b>(NASDAQ:NVDA),<b>Skillz</b>(NYSE:SKLZ), and<b>Jushi Holdings</b>(OTC:JUSHF)can prove much better portfolio holdings in the long run.</p><p>1. NVIDIA</p><p>If you want to invest in leading-edge semiconductor technology powering artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous driving, 5G, and several other next-generation trends, then NVIDIA may be exactly the right stock for you.</p><p>In the first quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending May 2), NVIDIA reported stellar performance, despite the ongoing global semiconductor shortage. Revenue jumped 84% year over year to $5.66 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) soared 106% to $3.03. In the first quarter, gaming revenue was up 106% year over year to $2.76 billion, while data center revenue jumped 79% year over year to $2.05 billion.</p><p>Long known as a leader in the gaming space for its graphic processing units (GPUs), NVIDIA further strengthened that position by launching GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs in September. Since then, GeForce has triggered a massive GPU upgrade cycle in the gaming industry, and demand for NVIDIA-powered laptops and desktops from students, gamers, and creators has been outstripping supply.</p><p>In fact, the RTX 30 series has played a pivotal role in helping NVIDIArecapture some shareof the discrete GPU market from<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(NASDAQ:AMD). (\"Discrete GPU\" refers to a GPU which is separate from the central processing unit, or CPU.) Subsequently, the company ended 2020 with83% of the discrete GPUmarket share.</p><p>NVIDIA's data center segment is witnessing solid demand from massive data-center customers building infrastructure for providing AI capabilities to their clients. Management has also announced plans to launch their first data center central processing unit (CPU), theARM-based\"Grace\" chip, by 2023. With the capability to work 10 times faster than existing servers, Grace CPU can further strengthen NVIDIA's position in the global data center market.</p><p>With this backdrop, although NVIDIA trades at more than 40.8 times forward earnings, the premium valuation seems justified. Investors can earn handsome returns by picking up this market-leading semiconductor stock even at these elevated levels.</p><p>2. Skillz</p><p>Mobile esports platform Skillz has been on a wild ride in the past few months. The company IPOed via the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) route at an opening price of $17.89 in December, reached as high as $46.30 in February, and then tanked to an all-time low of $12.40 in April. The dramatic drop has been associated with several factors, including investors moving from growth to value stocks, some adverse short-seller reports, ill-timed capital raises, and equity dilution involving significant insider selling.</p><p>The sheer magnitude of Skillz's sell-off, however, seems unjustified. Skillz provides mobile game developers with a platform to organize competitions and then collects15% of the gross proceedspaid by players participating in these competitions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021 (ending March 31), Skillz's monthly active users rose by 3.8% year over year to 2.7 million, and paying user count jumped by 81% to 467,000.</p><p>In an open letter to retail investors, Skillz founder and CEO Andrew Paradise highlighted the platform's high engagement level, noting that once users start paying, they stay with the company for the long run. While Skillz is currently focused only on paying users, Paradise's letter noted plans to explore other monetization methods, such as \"non-intrusive advertising\" and \"gamifying other industries and experiences,\" to add new revenue streams in the coming years.</p><p>In the first quarter, Skillz's revenues jumped 92% year over year to $84 million, ahead of its previous guidance of $80 million.

With a gross margin of 95%, a cash balance of $613 million, and zero debt, Skillz offers an attractive risk-reward proposition to retail investors.</p><p>3. Jushi Holdings</p><p>Shares of U.S. multi-state cannabis operator Jushi Holdings are up over 450% in the past 12 months -- and for a good reason. Although it's among the smallerU.S. cannabis companies, the company hasstrategically selected marketswith high growth potential and limited competition in which to operate, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, California, Nevada, and Massachusetts.</p><p>Jushi currently operates 11 medical marijuana dispensaries in Pennsylvania and plans to open an additional seven in 2021. This footprint seems even more impressive considering the fact that Pennsylvania's limited licensing structure reduces competition.</p><p>There are 528,000 registered medical marijuana patients in Pennsylvania, and the market&nbsp;is expected to rake in $1.5 billion in revenues by 2023, meaning that Jushi stands to benefit dramatically in coming months. As Pennsylvania moves toward legalizing recreational marijuana, which is a major topic ahead of 2022 elections, Jushi's extensive presence can help establish its brands rapidly in this new market.</p><p>Jushi currently operates four dispensaries in Illinois, a state which legalized sales of recreational cannabis starting Jan. 1, 2020. With an estimated 2021 annual run rate of $1.3 billion, Illinois is well-positioned to be a major revenue driver for the company. The company also holds one of the only five vertically integrated licenses in Virginia -- allowing it to cultivate, process, and sell medical cannabis to customers in a market with limited competition. Virginia is expected to commence recreational cannabis sales in 2024, which will further boost Jushi's addressable market.</p><p>In first-quarter 2021 (ending March 31), Jushi's revenues rose 29% sequentially to $41.7 million. The company also has a strong balance sheet with $168 million cash and $82 million debt. Against the backdrop of a robust strategy and solid financials, Jushi could prove to be an attractive investment for retail investors.</p>","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>Ignore Dogecoin -- These 3 Unique Stocks Are Infinitely Better Buys</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\">\nIgnore Dogecoin -- These 3 Unique Stocks Are Infinitely Better Buys\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-03 12:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/><strong>The motley fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These interesting companies are targeting huge market opportunities -- and can help keep your portfolio afloat in any market condition.Dogecoin(CRYPTO:DOGE)has emerged as one of the most hyped assets ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SKLZ":"Skillz Inc","JUSHF":"Jushi Holdings Inc.","AMD":"美国超微公司","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1146528217","content_text":"These interesting companies are targeting huge market opportunities -- and can help keep your portfolio afloat in any market condition.Dogecoin(CRYPTO:DOGE)has emerged as one of the most hyped assets in the market today. This is understandable, considering that the cryptocurrency is up 7,733% so far this year, far ahead of the benchmarkS&P 500's returns of 11.84% in the same time frame.Investors, however, should also consider Dogecoin's high volatility. Dogecoin has tanked by more than 50% from its all-time high of $0.74 in the past month (so, yes, at one point it was up more than 14,000%). This cryptocurrency is not backed by any asset and hardly has anysustainable advantageover rivals in terms of transaction fees or processing and settlement speeds. And with no hard limit to the number of Dogecoins that can be mined, this cryptocurrency is extremely sensitive to headline risk.This makes Dogecoin a highly speculative investment for retail investors -- one that should mostly be avoided. Instead,NVIDIA(NASDAQ:NVDA),Skillz(NYSE:SKLZ), andJushi Holdings(OTC:JUSHF)can prove much better portfolio holdings in the long run.1. NVIDIAIf you want to invest in leading-edge semiconductor technology powering artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous driving, 5G, and several other next-generation trends, then NVIDIA may be exactly the right stock for you.In the first quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending May 2), NVIDIA reported stellar performance, despite the ongoing global semiconductor shortage. Revenue jumped 84% year over year to $5.66 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) soared 106% to $3.03. In the first quarter, gaming revenue was up 106% year over year to $2.76 billion, while data center revenue jumped 79% year over year to $2.05 billion.Long known as a leader in the gaming space for its graphic processing units (GPUs), NVIDIA further strengthened that position by launching GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs in September. Since then, GeForce has triggered a massive GPU upgrade cycle in the gaming industry, and demand for NVIDIA-powered laptops and desktops from students, gamers, and creators has been outstripping supply.In fact, the RTX 30 series has played a pivotal role in helping NVIDIArecapture some shareof the discrete GPU market fromAdvanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD). (\"Discrete GPU\" refers to a GPU which is separate from the central processing unit, or CPU.) Subsequently, the company ended 2020 with83% of the discrete GPUmarket share.NVIDIA's data center segment is witnessing solid demand from massive data-center customers building infrastructure for providing AI capabilities to their clients. Management has also announced plans to launch their first data center central processing unit (CPU), theARM-based\"Grace\" chip, by 2023. With the capability to work 10 times faster than existing servers, Grace CPU can further strengthen NVIDIA's position in the global data center market.With this backdrop, although NVIDIA trades at more than 40.8 times forward earnings, the premium valuation seems justified. Investors can earn handsome returns by picking up this market-leading semiconductor stock even at these elevated levels.2. SkillzMobile esports platform Skillz has been on a wild ride in the past few months. The company IPOed via the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) route at an opening price of $17.89 in December, reached as high as $46.30 in February, and then tanked to an all-time low of $12.40 in April. The dramatic drop has been associated with several factors, including investors moving from growth to value stocks, some adverse short-seller reports, ill-timed capital raises, and equity dilution involving significant insider selling.The sheer magnitude of Skillz's sell-off, however, seems unjustified.

FINANCE.</span></p><p>The midday decline came amid reports that the Biden administration would propose tax increases on high-income taxpayers.

Currently, investors pay the same tax rates on short-term capital gains on investments held for a year or less as they do on most other forms of income, such as wages and salaries or interest. However, if an investor holds onto an investment for longer than a year and then sells it, long-term capital-gains tax treatment applies.</p><p>Although the brackets aren't exactly aligned, in general, those who pay 10% or 12% in tax on ordinary income pay 0% on their long-term capital gains. Those paying 22% to 35% typically pay a 15% long-term capital-gains tax, while top-bracket taxpayers whose ordinary income tax rate is 37% have a 20% maximum rate on their investment gains for assets held long term.</p><p>Under the proposed new rules, favorable tax treatment for long-term capital gains would remain completely in place for everyone in the first two groups and even for many in the third group. However, for taxpayers with incomes above $1 million, the lower long-term capital-gains tax rates would go away and they'd instead have to pay ordinary income tax rates on those gains, as well.</p><p><b>Why investors shouldn't be surprised</b></p><p>The reported proposal isn't a new one. Biden&nbsp;discussed it during the 2020 presidential campaign&nbsp;as one of the aspects of his broader tax plan. It's likely that the final version of any actual bill introduced in Congress would also include an increase in the top tax bracket to 39.6%, which was the level in effect immediately before tax-reform efforts made major changes to tax laws for the 2018 tax year.</p><p>Moreover, the legislation is far from a done deal. Even with Democrats having control of both houses of Congress and the White House, the margins are razor-thin. Already, some Democratic lawmakers have balked at tax-policy proposals, and in the Senate, the loss of even a single vote would be sufficient to prevent a tax bill from becoming law.</p><p><b>Is a stock market crash imminent?</b></p><p>It's understandable that investors would worry that a capital-gains tax hike might cause the stock market to drop. If investors sell their stocks now to lock in current lower rates, it could create short-term selling pressure. In the long run, though, the fundamentals of underlying businesses should still control share-price movements.</p><p>Moreover, this wouldn't be the first time capital-gains taxes have risen. In 2012, maximum capital-gains rates rose from 15% to 20%. Yet that didn't stop U.S. stocks from continuing what would eventually become a decade-long bull market.</p><p>Tax-law changes require some planning, but investors shouldn't change their entire investing strategy because of taxes. Letting them&nbsp;<i>define</i>&nbsp;how you invest can be a huge mistake and distract you from the task of finding the best companies and owning their shares for the long haul.</p><p>Read more:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/NW/1180283228\" target=\"_blank\">Stocks Will Get Over Their Big Biden Tax Wobble</a></p>","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>Would Tax Hikes Spell Doom for the Stock Market?</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\">\nWould Tax Hikes Spell Doom for the Stock Market?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-23 15:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors got spooked by a potential boost to capital-gains rates for high-income taxpayers.The stock market had a turbulent day on Thursday, with initial gains during the first half of the trading ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1128911279","content_text":"Investors got spooked by a potential boost to capital-gains rates for high-income taxpayers.The stock market had a turbulent day on Thursday, with initial gains during the first half of the trading session giving way to sharper losses in the mid-afternoon.

Currently, investors pay the same tax rates on short-term capital gains on investments held for a year or less as they do on most other forms of income, such as wages and salaries or interest. However, if an investor holds onto an investment for longer than a year and then sells it, long-term capital-gains tax treatment applies.Although the brackets aren't exactly aligned, in general, those who pay 10% or 12% in tax on ordinary income pay 0% on their long-term capital gains. Those paying 22% to 35% typically pay a 15% long-term capital-gains tax, while top-bracket taxpayers whose ordinary income tax rate is 37% have a 20% maximum rate on their investment gains for assets held long term.Under the proposed new rules, favorable tax treatment for long-term capital gains would remain completely in place for everyone in the first two groups and even for many in the third group. However, for taxpayers with incomes above $1 million, the lower long-term capital-gains tax rates would go away and they'd instead have to pay ordinary income tax rates on those gains, as well.Why investors shouldn't be surprisedThe reported proposal isn't a new one. Biden discussed it during the 2020 presidential campaign as one of the aspects of his broader tax plan. It's likely that the final version of any actual bill introduced in Congress would also include an increase in the top tax bracket to 39.6%, which was the level in effect immediately before tax-reform efforts made major changes to tax laws for the 2018 tax year.Moreover, the legislation is far from a done deal. Even with Democrats having control of both houses of Congress and the White House, the margins are razor-thin. Already, some Democratic lawmakers have balked at tax-policy proposals, and in the Senate, the loss of even a single vote would be sufficient to prevent a tax bill from becoming law.Is a stock market crash imminent?It's understandable that investors would worry that a capital-gains tax hike might cause the stock market to drop. If investors sell their stocks now to lock in current lower rates, it could create short-term selling pressure. In the long run, though, the fundamentals of underlying businesses should still control share-price movements.Moreover, this wouldn't be the first time capital-gains taxes have risen. In 2012, maximum capital-gains rates rose from 15% to 20%. Yet that didn't stop U.S. stocks from continuing what would eventually become a decade-long bull market.Tax-law changes require some planning, but investors shouldn't change their entire investing strategy because of taxes. Letting them define how you invest can be a huge mistake and distract you from the task of finding the best companies and owning their shares for the long haul.Read more:Stocks Will Get Over Their Big Biden Tax Wobble","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":27,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376636904,"gmtCreate":1619107408308,"gmtModify":1704719838999,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376636904","repostId":"1147263213","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147263213","pubTimestamp":1619075516,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147263213?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-22 15:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Intel Reports Earnings Thursday.

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182956628,"gmtCreate":1623551583964,"gmtModify":1704205910837,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hybrid is the way to go.&nbsp;","listText":"Hybrid is the way to go.&nbsp;","text":"Hybrid is the way to go.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182956628","repostId":"2143788707","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143788707","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":1623530820,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143788707?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-13 04:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How tech companies are bringing workers back to the office: Slowly and with 'social' incentives","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143788707","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"'The claims that \"the office is dead\" are over-hyped,' Twilio executive says.

'The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.'\nAs they return to work, employees of website platform Contentful Inc. are getting an eyeful of their new offices in Berlin and Denver and a realigned headquarters in San Francisco, which include hallmarks of the post-pandemic workplace -- a theater in Berlin and group rooms in San Francisco that are devoted to interactive meetings, with kitchen space doubled.\n\"We think the office is a social place first,\" Contentful Chief Executive Steve Sloan told MarketWatch. \"The office is where the great ideas are hatched -- especially in an idea-centric economy.\"\nMillions of tech workers are slowly making the migration back to offices as millions become fully vaccinated and states lift restrictions. At Contentful, all 550 employees, including Sloan, will continue to work from home most of the time, and occasionally venture into the office for socializing and collaboration.\nBut many of those returning may not recognize the new digs, which are largely being designed to foster a nexus of ideas shared in theater-like settings and socially-distanced conference rooms, with specialized break-out areas for brainstorming and socializing. Workers will need to get used to the new office lingo of dynamic spaces and hoteling.\n\"It's about going into the tunnel, and coming out of the tunnel,\" VMware Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Poonen told MarketWatch, about a conservative return to the office. \"This is sort of like a traffic jam -- you slow down, and then gradually regain speed. We will get back to normalcy.\"\nTech companies -- among the first to ask employees to work from home during the pandemic -- are leading the return to the office by the fall. Their reopening plans offer a glimpse into office life of the next few years, with a heavy emphasis on a hybrid work model and three-day work weeks onsite, as well as no vaccine requirements. California's COVID-19 state of emergency order will remain in place beyond June 15, despite plans to fully reopen the state's economy on that date, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.\n\"Three days a week [in the office] is the new five,\" Twilio Inc. (TWLO) Chief People Officer Christy Lake told MarketWatch, noting that 77% of the company's employees said they miss the office. \"The claims that 'the office is dead' are over-hyped. The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.\"\nDynamic spaces will occupy a key part of Twilio's plans. The San Francisco-based company has revamped offices with specific areas for open collaboration, community and socializing, heads-down work, and flexible multipurpose spaces, said Lake, who added that some employees will trickle back to Twilio's Bay Area offices beginning July 14. Employees have the option of working from home throughout the year.\nPre-pandemic, many in Silicon Valley were already on the path to a hybrid situation. Advances in videoconferencing technology and bandwidth had given them the luxury of working from home several days a week to avoid car-choked freeways. And employers were OK with the arrangement to scoop up talent from across the country. What COVID did was accelerate a work trend that was already clearly in motion, said Heather Kernahan, global CEO at PR agency Hotwire.\n\"It's not going 'back to work.' We've been working hard,\" Kernahan said. \"Thoughtful working is what you do, not where you go.\"\nAn exodus back to the office is likely to occur by September, based on data collected by real-estate company Savills, which surveyed more than 120 tech companies in March. More than half said they expect to be back in the office by the third quarter of this calendar year.\nSilicon Valley's largest employers, sitting on millions of square feet of land they own, have been particularly aggressive in dictating when workers get back. How that pans out in an era when employees are increasingly outspoken about work conditions, including the option to work exclusively from home, bears watching, say labor experts.\nWhile employees at smaller companies have overwhelmingly shown a preference to return, those at Apple and other behemoths aren't so sure, given the large number of people congregating in one place.\nShortly after Apple Inc. $(AAPL)$ pronounced employees must work in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) beginning in early September -- including at Apple Park, the futuristic \"spaceship\"-like headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., that the company spent an estimated $5 billion to design and build -- some workers pushed back.\n\"We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues,\" Apple employees said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook. \"That Apple's remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple.\"\nGoogle parent Alphabet Inc. $(GOOGL)$(GOOGL) said it expects about 20% of its workforce to remain fully remote this fall , while 60% will work a hybrid office/home mix.\nFacebook Inc. (FB) employees have returned to a 10% maximum capacity at corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., and other select San Francisco Bay Area offices. Facebook is likely to fully reopen most U.S. offices by October, and non-remote employees will work in offices at least half the time. The company and Twitter Inc. (TWTR) have said employees will be allowed to permanently work from home if their jobs allow for it.\nMarketWatch talked to at least 20 companies, and a handful, including Twilio and Box, require employees to be vaccinated before returning to the office. Facebook and Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$, for example, only encourage employees to vaccinate.\nOthers, however, have taken a more measured approach.\nSalesforce.com Inc. $(CRM.AU)$ reopened its first U.S. office, the Salesforce Tower headquarters in San Francisco, in May. Offices in Palo Alto, Calif., and Irvine, Calif, will follow in the coming months. At the same time, the company extended the option for all employees to continue to work from home through the end of 2021.\nOkta Inc. (OKTA) is shifting from large, campus-type locations serving regions to distributed offices based on where employees live. The new offices will function like Apple stores -- an \"experiential place\" where customers and partners can learn about products and chat with experts, and employees can collaborate as needed, an Okta spokeswoman told MarketWatch.\nBox Inc. $(BOX.UK)$ is opening its San Francisco office in mid-July and its Redwood City, Calif., headquarters in early August at limited capacity, per local regulations. What its workers will encounter is a mix of assigned desks and hoteling, a form of office management in which workers schedule their use of desks, cubicles and offices. But travel remains prohibited until at least later this summer, and quarterly all-hands meetings will remain virtual through Feb. 1, 2022.\nHewlett Packard Enterprise Co. $(HPE)$ has divided its workforce into two classes: \"Edge\" workers will come to the office with their laptops once or twice a week for meetings, collaboration and culture. \"Office\" workers will maintain dedicated work stations and come to the office most days.\nGerman software giant SAP (SAP.XE), which has a Palo Alto, Calif., campus, opened its offices in late April at less than 5% daily capacity for \"employees who choose to return to the office for business critical needs,\" a spokesperson said.\nThen there are outliers like VMware Inc. $(VMW)$, where few employees currently work onsite. The company is offering employees the choice to permanently work from home as part of a digital-first approach. VMware prohibits meetings and events of more than 10 people at the office -- a policy that will remain in effect until at least July 30. Few employees are currently working at the office, according to the company.\nBoatsetter Inc., an online platform for boat rentals in Florida, went to the extreme and shed 6,000 feet of office space.\nWhether employees are entirely open to the idea of returning full-time in the foreseeable future is another matter.\nAbout one in three (34%) working from home said they would look for a new job if forced to be in the office full time, and nearly half (49%) prefer a hybrid arrangement, according to a Robert Half poll of 1,000 U.S. workers in March .\n\"After a year of drastic change, many business leaders are eager to restore a sense of normalcy and welcome staff back to the office,\" said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. \"But reopening doors will bring new obstacles for companies to navigate. Not all employees will be ready -- or willing -- to return to the workplace, so staying flexible and responsive to their needs will be critical.\"\nNearly nine in 10 employees (89%) say they want to be allowed to work remotely some or all of the time, according to a survey of almost 209,000 people in 190 countries by Boston Consulting Group and The Network.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":207,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":180498793,"gmtCreate":1623217449512,"gmtModify":1704198580663,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh snap.","listText":"Oh snap.","text":"Oh snap.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/180498793","repostId":"1183830906","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":43,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185766482,"gmtCreate":1623674142746,"gmtModify":1704208315792,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted&nbsp;","listText":"Noted&nbsp;","text":"Noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185766482","repostId":"1172057691","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381674422,"gmtCreate":1612966736566,"gmtModify":1704876643474,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"❤️","listText":"❤️","text":"❤️","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/381674422","repostId":"1186964240","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186964240","pubTimestamp":1612954337,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1186964240?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-10 18:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Baidu in talks to raise money for a standalone A.I. chip company","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186964240","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nChinese search giant Baidu is in talks to raise money for a standalone artificial intell","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nChinese search giant Baidu is in talks to raise money for a standalone artificial intelligence semiconductor company, a person with knowledge of the matter told CNBC.\nVenture capital firms...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/10/baidu-in-talks-to-raise-money-for-a-standalone-ai-chip-company-.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And for Baidu, it marks a further effort to diversify its business well beyond advertising.\nBaidu’s Nasdaq-traded shares jumped more than 3.5% after hours. They climbed 6.67% on Tuesday.\nBaidu’s chip company would be a subsidiary, with the search giant likely to be the majority shareholder, the person said. Venture capital firms GGV and IDG Capital are involved in early stage discussions to invest in Baidu’s chip firm, the source added. Both firms have extensive investments in China.\nBaidu declined to comment when contacted by CNBC. IDG Capital was not immediately available for comment.Calls to GGV’s offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing went unanswered.\nCurrently, Baidu has an in-house chip unit that has helped to develop its Kunlun semiconductors, designed to process huge amounts of data for artificial intelligence applications. But a standalone chip company is seen helping Baidu to better commercialize its technology, the source said.\nThe semiconductor business would aim to sell chips to customers in several industries including automakers, which are currently facing a global chip shortage.\nA standalone chip maker could also tie into other parts of Baidu’s businesses, such as its driverless car software.\nDiversification flurry\nBaidu’s move is part of push by the company to diversify its broader business — an effort which since September alone has seen the Chinese technology giant raise money for a biotech firm and a standalone electric vehicle company.\nAdvertising accounts for most of Baidu’s revenue currently, but other operations are contributing a growing percentage of sales. Ad-related revenue, which the company refers to in its earnings statements as online marketing services, accounted for around 80% of total revenue in 2018. That proportion fell to 71% in the third quarter of 2020, the most recent published results.\nBaidu’s semiconductor focus comes as the Chinese government tries to boost domestic independence around that critical technology — a trend that has accelerated during China’s trade war with the United States.\nChinese internet giant Tencent, the owner of messaging app WeChat,recently invested in an AI chip start-up.\nIn 2019, e-commerce company Alibaba launched its first chip to power artificial intelligence processes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169457149,"gmtCreate":1623848855981,"gmtModify":1703821283550,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"For recovery!","listText":"For recovery!","text":"For recovery!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169457149","repostId":"1175265723","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":183468565,"gmtCreate":1623341760657,"gmtModify":1704201396592,"author":{"id":"3569043746223731","authorId":"3569043746223731","authorIdStr":"3569043746223731","name":"hardyzy2k","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d77d8e42f0d4cb9b46bc6633fb6ec91b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569043746223731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183468565","repostId":"1107871315","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107871315","pubTimestamp":1623315689,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107871315?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-10 17:01","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Can Alibaba Stock Hit $1,000?

Unfortunately, for many shareholders, the \"promotional period\" has gone on for too long and patience is wearing thin. On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this as it allows them to continue adding to their shares.</p>\n<p>Regardless, as a writer on numerousChinese internet stockswhose share prices have remained depressed for months and reading the harsh comments, it can get disheartening. As a shareholder in several of them myself, I understand the emotions going through the mind.</p>\n<p>At the same time, there have been many wise readers and fellow authors who provided sound advice that keeps me on the path. For instance, Gary Alexander recently wrote regarding thetech sell-off:</p>\n<blockquote>\n \"When the selloff in the tech sector has proven to be this indiscriminate (good and bad, cheap and expensive stocks are all being sold off at roughly the same pace), it's our job as diligent investors to be extremely discerning in the buying opportunities that have surfaced.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>With BABA stock having given up all its gains in the past year, it's scant comfort to know the share price is still 58 percent higher than early 2019. Nevertheless, I am bringing this up because Alibaba was being shunned by investors then due to the headwinds from the U.S.-China trade war.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90c1a30b5b83eb51c67338eab37cb5e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Now that the e-commerce and cloud giant has considerably more challenges on hand, yet the share price manages to be substantially higher. This provides a glimpse into the possible future where Alibaba Group Holding Limited overcome its immediate struggles and investors clamor for its shares again.</p>\n<p>That said, how do we justify that BABA stock is on sale? Well, let's look at the valuation. Both Alibaba Group and its U.S. peer Amazon.com (AMZN) have delivered solid revenue and earnings growth in the past years. The improvement in business fundamentals has led investors in both companies to think it would only get tougher to achieve returns expected of a growth stock, compressing their price-earnings multiples.</p>\n<p>Looking at the more representative enterprise value to free cash flow [EV/FCF] ratio, it becomes apparent that the market is valuing Alibaba much lower than Amazon.

On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this.\nAlibaba has considerably more challenges on hand now than in early 2019 (U.S.-China trade war), yet the share price manages to be substantially higher.\nDrawing a straightforward trend line price chart, BABA shares could reach $1,000 sometime in the first quarter of 2027 if it crawls along with the support level.\nAlibaba's P/E ratio would compress to a mere 11 times on a forward basis (FY2026) and this is based on the current depressed environment.\nAn investment in Alibaba has several risk factors and I wish to highlight two key ones.\n\nBABA stock is on sale\nLike the millions of items on its platforms, Alibaba Group (BABA) is on sale. Unfortunately, for many shareholders, the \"promotional period\" has gone on for too long and patience is wearing thin. On the other hand, there's a camp of investors who welcome this as it allows them to continue adding to their shares.\nRegardless, as a writer on numerousChinese internet stockswhose share prices have remained depressed for months and reading the harsh comments, it can get disheartening. As a shareholder in several of them myself, I understand the emotions going through the mind.\nAt the same time, there have been many wise readers and fellow authors who provided sound advice that keeps me on the path. For instance, Gary Alexander recently wrote regarding thetech sell-off:\n\n \"When the selloff in the tech sector has proven to be this indiscriminate (good and bad, cheap and expensive stocks are all being sold off at roughly the same pace), it's our job as diligent investors to be extremely discerning in the buying opportunities that have surfaced.\"\n\nWith BABA stock having given up all its gains in the past year, it's scant comfort to know the share price is still 58 percent higher than early 2019. Nevertheless, I am bringing this up because Alibaba was being shunned by investors then due to the headwinds from the U.S.-China trade war.\n\nNow that the e-commerce and cloud giant has considerably more challenges on hand, yet the share price manages to be substantially higher. This provides a glimpse into the possible future where Alibaba Group Holding Limited overcome its immediate struggles and investors clamor for its shares again.\nThat said, how do we justify that BABA stock is on sale? Well, let's look at the valuation. Both Alibaba Group and its U.S. peer Amazon.com (AMZN) have delivered solid revenue and earnings growth in the past years. The improvement in business fundamentals has led investors in both companies to think it would only get tougher to achieve returns expected of a growth stock, compressing their price-earnings multiples.\nLooking at the more representative enterprise value to free cash flow [EV/FCF] ratio, it becomes apparent that the market is valuing Alibaba much lower than Amazon. The EV/FCF is only 16 times for Alibaba and 72 times for Amazon.\n\nWith a 3-year revenue CAGR and a 5-year revenue CAGR above 40 percent, it's hard to argue Alibaba Group is not a growth stock. Amazon only managed to deliver around 30 percent CAGR for both its 3-year and 5-year revenues. For the last reported quarter, Alibaba scored a 64 percent increase in revenue. Its forward revenue growth of 35.3 percent surpasses that of Amazon as well.\n\n\n\nBABA\nAMZN\n\n\nRevenue Growth [YoY]\n40.7%\n41.5%\n\n\nRevenue Growth [FWD]\n35.3%\n27.2%\n\n\nRevenue 3 Year [CAGR]\n42.1%\n29.5%\n\n\nRevenue 5 Year [CAGR]\n48.0%\n29.9%\n\n\n\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium (data extracted on June 6, 2021)\nDuring times of uncertainty, it is imperative that companies have plenty of liquidity.

I am also not considering the scenario that Alibaba becomes a meme stock which is possible since Redditors tend to promote stocks that are \"hated\" by the market. I am assuming the adage that the stock market is a weighing machine, in the long run, will come to fruition for BABA.\nIs that thought farfetched? Just a couple of months back, I would answer a categorical no. However, as you will see from the chart, BABA's share price has dipped below the long-term support line. Some stocks have experienced such a chart pattern and managed to return above the support-turned-resistance line.

lambasted in various investing forums on speculative grounds such as how its growth momentum could fizzle out soon, how its margin profile is dragging the company down and that the stock doesn’t justify its price premium. But the company isn't as bad.

So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4923a1dd5cc6af812c6dd7b8335f878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"426\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p><b>Margin Expansion</b></p>\n<p>Another issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet.

But what's surprising here is that Palantir had actually posted one of the highest sequential net margin expansions in Q1, in its peer group. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect of Palantir’s business hasn’t been discussed on any investing forum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25614333f421bbcdaf90b43a6ed8e011\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"552\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>The company may not have been profitable so far, but that doesn’t mean it will remain unprofitable in the future as well.

This pressure may not have been as intense prior to its direct listing, when fewer shareholders were involved. So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.</p>\n<p><b>Government Contract Wins</b></p>\n<p>Moving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business. For the uninitiated, its revenue from government contracts rose 76% year over year, accounted for about 61% of the company's overall revenue, in Q1.</p>\n<p>Unless the company botches up somewhere, these government agencies are likely going to internally recommend it for varied applications. They won’t have to qualify Palantir time and again for several criteria which could drive these internal cross-agency referrals in a speedy manner and these agencies might even ramp up their spending in pre-existing contracts. So, Palantir just needs to rinse-and-repeat its B2G (Business-to-Government) strategy, and its government revenue could continue growing rapidly.</p>\n<p>Palantir has also made steady progress with regards to its government business so far in Q2. Its Q2 is still ongoing, but at the time of this writing, the company has over $36 million worth of new current action obligations from government deals, agreements and contracts, most of which haven’t made the headlines. For the uninitiated, a new deal could be an addition to pre-existing deal, expand the scope of previously agreed upon deliverables, it could be entirely new in nature, have varied execution periods that span from months to years and/or also have a recurring revenue stream attached to it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/091203d7b476076ff008ca0c3b0f6ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>So, while there are several variables that prevent us from reliably estimating the near-term revenue impact from these deals, Palantir’s shareholders with a long-term time horizon should feel reassured that their company continues to make steady progress towards growing its government business.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s shares are currently trading at about 43-times its trailing twelve-month sales which is, undeniably, high by conventional standards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40584e7d2ca5458e8609338887f80e2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>However, its rich valuations alone shouldn't be the basis of a bear thesis. Palantir's valuation multiples may be high, but note from the chart above thatits revenue growth rate in Q1 was also higher than most of its peers.</p>\n<p>So, I believe the price premium is justified by the company’s rapid pace of revenue growth (illustrated in the chart above), its qualitative growth catalysts discussed in this article and its relatively secure government revenue stream.</p>\n<p>Keeping these factors in mind, investors with a multi-year time horizon may want to increase exposure to Palantir on potential price corrections. The stock is likely to reach new highs as its growth catalysts eventually materialize, and as the company approaches profitability, in the next 2 to 3 years.
