Moderna reported $1.9 billion in sales for the vaccine in Q1, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.</p>\n<p>Based on supply agreements in place as of early May, Moderna projected that its COVID-19 vaccine would rake in sales this year of $19.2 billion. However, the company has secured additional deals since then.</p>\n<p>In just the past two weeks, Moderna has landed two new huge supply agreements. The U.S. government is buying 200 million additional doses of Moderna's COVID19 vaccine. The European Commission agreed to purchase another 150 million doses.</p>\n<p>But does Moderna's market cap of close to $90 billion already price all of this growth in? To some extent, yes. However, shares still are trading at only around 10.5 times expected earnings. That's an attractive valuation, especially for a biotech stock.</p>\n<p>The big question for Moderna is how strong the recurring revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine will be. While the sales levels of 2021 and 2022 might not be sustainable over the long run, annual vaccinations could be likely (especially with emerging coronavirus variants). I expect Moderna will be able to count on significant COVID-19 vaccine sales for years to come.</p>\n<p>Then there's the pipeline. Moderna plans to advance its cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine into late-stage testing this year. It could easily be a megablockbuster if approved. The company has a dozen other programs in clinical testing.</p>\n<p>Moderna hopes to use its newfound riches to dramatically boost its pipeline in the near future. CEO Stephane Bancel has stated that he'd like to have up to 50 clinical programs.</p>\n<p>All of Moderna's current and planned pipeline programs are based on its messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. The company has maintained for a long time that if its mRNA approach worked for one disease, it would work for many diseases. If Moderna is right, the biotech stock should be a massive winner over the long run -- and could very well crush Dogecoin.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Robinhood Stocks That Could Crush Dogecoin</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\">\n2 Robinhood Stocks That Could Crush Dogecoin\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-29 17:42 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/28/2-robinhood-stocks-that-could-crush-dogecoin/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE) fans would be quick to point out that the cryptocurrency has skyrocketed more than 4,500% year to date.

However, shares still are trading at only around 10.5 times expected earnings. That's an attractive valuation, especially for a biotech stock.\nThe big question for Moderna is how strong the recurring revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine will be. While the sales levels of 2021 and 2022 might not be sustainable over the long run, annual vaccinations could be likely (especially with emerging coronavirus variants). I expect Moderna will be able to count on significant COVID-19 vaccine sales for years to come.\nThen there's the pipeline. Moderna plans to advance its cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine into late-stage testing this year. It could easily be a megablockbuster if approved. The company has a dozen other programs in clinical testing.\nModerna hopes to use its newfound riches to dramatically boost its pipeline in the near future. CEO Stephane Bancel has stated that he'd like to have up to 50 clinical programs.\nAll of Moderna's current and planned pipeline programs are based on its messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. The company has maintained for a long time that if its mRNA approach worked for one disease, it would work for many diseases. If Moderna is right, the biotech stock should be a massive winner over the long run -- and could very well crush Dogecoin.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":352,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":188978806,"gmtCreate":1623420573705,"gmtModify":1704203221392,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\">$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$</a>[Happy] [Happy] ","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\">$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$</a>[Happy] [Happy] ","text":"$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$[Happy] [Happy]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b6fabb25fab81d47b10993cb34bd9a12","width":"1284","height":"2223"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/188978806","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":389,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111028799,"gmtCreate":1622645186911,"gmtModify":1704188017405,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ?

After the current spending cycle winds down, Amazon seems poised to experience an explosion of free cash flow by 2022 and 2023. After all, it is the cash that the company gets to keep for investors that makes the company powerful and investors rich.</p>\n<p><b>COVID Beneficiary</b></p>\n<p>Amazon has been a massive beneficiary of COVID. The company generated $386 billion of revenue in 2020, up 37.6% y/y. This Amazon's fastest growth rate since 2011, even including the inorganic contribution to growth in 2017 and 2018 when it acquired Whole Foods. Amazingly, the last time the company grew faster was in 2011 when the company generated \"only\" $48 billion in revenue. Who said elephants can't dance?</p>\n<p>In 2020, Amazon's e-commerce businesses experienced accelerated revenue growth:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>3rd Party Seller Services increased 49.6% to $80.4 billion.</li>\n <li>Online stores increased 39.7% to $197 billion.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In 2020, the company's other businesses continued to decelerate, though likely at a lower deceleration than without COVID:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Subscription Services grew 31.2% y/y $25.2 billion, a 4.4% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.1% point deceleration the prior year.</li>\n <li>AWS grew 29.5% to $45.4 billion, a 7% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.5% point deceleration the prior year.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Physical stores, not surprisingly, is the only business that got hurt by COVID, declining 5.6% to $16.2 billion. A 5.6% decline isn't even that bad, and this business is a drop in the bucket given Amazon's total revenue of $489 billion in 2020.</p>\n<p>The COVID benefits largely extended into 2021 as consensus estimates put 2021 revenue growth at a robust 26.9% on top of tough comps.</p>\n<p>The company saw an even bigger increase in accounting profits. Operating income expanded to 5.9% in 2020, a 70 bps y/y expansion. It is important to note that excluding one-time $11.5 billion COVID-related expenses in 2020, Amazon's operating margin would have been 8.9% rather than the reported 5.9%.</p>\n<p>GAAP EPS grew an incredible 81.8% y/y to $41.83 per share.</p>\n<p><b>Where Is My Money?</b></p>\n<p>Although revenue grow 37.6% y/y and EPS grew 81.8% y/y in 2020, free cash flow growth lagged materially, growing only 20.1% y/y. 2021 is expected to be worse, with free cash flow expected to grow only 16.9%, just half the growth rate of its expected EPS growth that year.</p>\n<p>This because capital expenditure (\"Capex\") increased an incredible 176% y/y in 2020 to over $35 billion. This the largest y/y growth since at least 2007. In terms of absolute numbers, 2020 deployed an incremental $22 billion- an absolutely mind-boggling amount. Capex is expected to remain elevated in 2021, growing another 16% y/y to $41 billion.</p>\n<p>On top of all this spending, the company, on May 26, Amazon announced the acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.45 billion. I can see conservative, old-school investors' heads about to explode- but relax.</p>\n<p><b>The Spending and Free Cash Flow Cycle</b></p>\n<p>In my 2017 article,<i>Amazon Bears Will Get Crushed</i>, I addressed the same investor concern that Amazon is spending too much money, although the spending is at a much, much greater scale today.</p>\n<p>Back in 2017, investors were worried about Amazon's ramped up investments. In a nutshell, my argument was that investors should differentiate between investments going after large opportunities and a bloated cost structure. Generally speaking, unexpected expenses are bad, and - assuming that you trust management's ability - unexpected investments are good. If Warren Buffett said, \"I thought I was going to deploy $20 billion, but an opportunity came up where I can deploy $60 billion\", investors would be ecstatic. That opportunity, for Amazon, was the COVID-induced surge in demand.</p>\n<p>Relax, a surge in spending tends to be followed by years of moderate spending growth. After my 2017 article was published, 2018 and 2019 saw Capex growth of only 12-13% per year, while free cash flow grew 132% y/y in 2018 and 33% in 2019.</p>\n<p>We can see the same cycle in the 2010 - 2015 period. In 2010, Capex surged 163% y/y, then another 85% in 2011, and another 109% in 2012. Looking back, these were puny numbers in the low-single-digit of billions per year of Capex, which of course played a key role in supporting Amazon's future growth. However, in the subsequent three years, 2013 through 2015, Capex grew only 21%-<i>cumulatively</i>.</p>\n<p>By 2015, free cash flow exploded 276% to $7.3 billion, higher than the highest the company has ever generated until then by a factor of two to three.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is expecting the same cycle to play out this time around. In 2022, free cash flow is expected to grow 58% y/y as Capex growth moderates to +3%. In 2023, free cash flow is expected to grow another 44% to a record $82.6 billion as Capex growth is expected to remain low at +2% y/y.</p>\n<p><b>The Market Opportunity</b></p>\n<p>Some investors may take a little more convincing to get comfortable with those huge projected free cash flow numbers. $83 billion of free cash flow by 2023 is almost three times its 2020's free cash flow of $31 billion- already its highest ever. And an incremental $22 billion of Capex deployed in 2020 is a massive number.</p>\n<p>The market opportunity, however, is much more massive.</p>\n<p>Amazon's share of US e-commerce is approximately 50%. That is high, but the US retail market is sized at over $5 trillion, and Amazon has around a 9% share of the entire retail market, and only 3.3% of consumer spending. The company is poised to gain share as it adds greater convenience, more competitive prices and greater selection.</p>\n<p>Amazon is aggressively going after the much larger global retail market, which is sized at approximately $25 trillion. Amazon's expected 2021 revenue of $490 billion is less than 2% of the global opportunity.</p>\n<p>A large portion of Amazon's increase in Capex went to expanding the infrastructure necessary to meet the surge in e-commerce demand. For example, in 2020, Amazon grew its fulfillment square footage by 50% y/y.</p>\n<p>Another areas of spending is to support AWS, which is Capex intensive but highly profitable. At just 12% of 2020's revenue, AWS accounted for over 50% of the company's operating income.</p>\n<p>The global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $371.4 billion in 2020 to $832.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 17.5%. Amazon's AWS generated $59 billion of revenue in 2020 and is expected to grow 31% in 2021 and 25% in 2023. This means AWS has less than 20% market share and is expected to take market share going forward.</p>\n<p>If Amazon has an opportunity to deploy more capital to support this highly profitable and rapidly growing business, thatis all great news to me.</p>\n<p>Management does not tell us exactly how the Capex is allocated and what the returns could look like. I don't think it is possible as an outsider to estimate the expected return of the incremental investments in retail (e-commerce, physical stores, subscription, etc.) vs. business services (AWS, advertising, etc.), because it would require that we analyze the company as separate businesses.</p>\n<p>Amazon is one giant flywheel that cannot be separated into partsany more than you can separate a turtle from its shell. For example, without the traffic generated by its retail business, advertising would not be possible. This obvious. Less obvious is that fact that AWS began as an e-commerce tool, way before it became the public cloud company giant it is today. And although seemingly different on the surface, both Amazon.com and AWS are at its core IT infrastructure platforms at scale. In addition, Amazon's other major initiatives, such as Alexa and streaming, are joined at the hip with e-commerce by Prime membership.</p>\n<p>But we do know one thing: the opportunity for continued growth is massive.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Like most growth stocks, Amazon lagged the market so far this year, and valuation is looking attractive.</p>\n<p>Currently, Amazon is trading at 52 times forward EPS, down from 112 times in July 2020.

If we believe in the Capex and free cash flow cycle, the stock looks attractively valued.\nTakeaway\nAlthough Amazon benefited from COVID-induced shutdowns, the best is yet to come for free cash flow. After lagging the market, the company is trading at an attractive valuation given the large growth opportunities ahead of it, and the potential explosion in free cash flow in 2022 and 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":526,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111020666,"gmtCreate":1622645033455,"gmtModify":1704188010996,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow ","listText":"Wow ","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111020666","repostId":"1116680979","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116680979","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"ć šç珏äșć€§èŽąç»éšæ·çœç«Investing.comäžćœćźæčćŸźäżĄïŒæäŸć šçććœæ”·ééèè”èźŻććźæ¶èĄæ æ°æźïŒć æŹèĄç„šèĄæăć€æ±ăæ莧ăćșéăćșćžăć ćŻèŽ§ćžçăć łæłšć šçéèćžćșćšæçæè”è ćäžäžćŻéèżă","home_visible":1,"media_name":"è±äžșèŽąæ Investing","id":"92","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/406e2b4996e14cd8a66a2a6864ef4313"},"pubTimestamp":1622643015,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116680979?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want To Invest In Gaming?

At the same time, the trader sells a âshorter-termâ call with a higher strike price, creating a long diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In other words, the call options for the underlying stock have different strikes and different expiration dates. The trader goes long one option and shorts the other to make a diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In this LEAPS covered call strategy, both the profit potential and risk are limited.

The net debit represents the maximum loss.</p>\n<p>Most traders entering such a strategy would be mildly bullish on the underlying securityâhere, Roblox.</p>\n<p>Instead of buying 100 shares of Roblox, the trader would buy a deep-in-the-money LEAPS call option, where that LEAPS call acts as a âsurrogateâ for owning the Roblox stock.</p>\n<p>As we write on Tuesday afternoon, Roblox stock is $95.60. Therefore, for this post, we'll use this price.</p>\n<p>For the first leg of this strategy, the trader might buy a deep in-the-money (ITM) LEAPS call, such as the RBLX Jan. 20, 2023, 65-strike call option. This option is currently offered at $44.90 (mid-point of the current bid and ask spread). In other words, it would cost the trader $4,490 instead of $9,560 to own this call option that expires in over one and a half years.</p>\n<p>The delta of this option is about 0.80. Delta shows the amount an optionâs price is expected to move based on a $1 change in the underlying security.</p>\n<p>In this example, if Roblox stock goes up $1, to $96.60, the current option price of $44.90 would be expected to increase by approximately 80 cents, based on a delta of 0.80. However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>So an optionâs delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).</p>\n<p>For the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This optionâs current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.</p>\n<p>There are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.</p>\n<p>Different brokers or online websites might offer âprofit and loss calculatorsâ for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a âguesstimateâ for a break-even point.</p>\n<p><b>Maximum Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>The maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.</p>\n<p>In other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.</p>\n<p>In our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs. (We arrived at this value using a profit and loss calculator online).</p>\n<p>Without the use of such a calculator, we could also arrive at an approximate dollar value. Letâs take a look:</p>\n<p>The option seller (i.e., the trader) received $1,283 for the sold option.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the underlying RBLX stock increased from $95.60 to $100. This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.</p>\n<p>Because the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)</p>\n<p>The total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.</p>\n<p>Understandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.</p>\n<p>Therefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the traderâs potential return is leveraged.</p>\n<p>Put another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.</p>\n<p>Ideally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless). Then, the trader can sell one call after the other, until the long LEAPS call expires in about a year and half.</p>\n<p><b>Position Management</b></p>\n<p>Active position management in a diagonal debit spread is typically more difficult for novice traders.</p>\n<p>If RBLX is above $100 on Aug. 20, the position will make less than the potential maximum return as the short-dated option will start losing money.</p>\n<p>Then, the trader might feel the need to close the trade early if the RBLX price shoots up and the short call gets caught deep ITM. In that case, the trader might need to close the entire trade and start over, or put together alternative option strategies.</p>\n<p>In a regular covered call, the trader might not necessarily mind being assigned the short option as s/he owns 100 shares of RBLX as well. However, in a poor personâs covered call, the trader would not necessarily want to be assigned the short call as s/he does not actually own those RBLX shares yet.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 20, this LEAPS covered call trade would, in theory, also start losing money if the RBLX stock price falls to about $81 or below. However, the actual break-even point could be different as there are different variables that affect the price of an option. Understandably, a stock's price could drop to $0, decreasing the value of the long call with it.</p>\n<p>Finally, we must also remind readers that deep ITM LEAPS options tend to have high bid/ask spreads. Therefore, every time the trader buys or sells a LEAPS option, there could be a significant transaction cost.</p>\n<p>In future weeks, weâll continue our discussion with different examples of options strategies.</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>Want To Invest In Gaming?

However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.\nSo an optionâs delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).\nFor the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This optionâs current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.\nThere are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.\nDifferent brokers or online websites might offer âprofit and loss calculatorsâ for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a âguesstimateâ for a break-even point.\nMaximum Profit Potential\nThe maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.\nIn other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.\nIn our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs. (We arrived at this value using a profit and loss calculator online).\nWithout the use of such a calculator, we could also arrive at an approximate dollar value. Letâs take a look:\nThe option seller (i.e., the trader) received $1,283 for the sold option.\nMeanwhile, the underlying RBLX stock increased from $95.60 to $100. This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.\nBecause the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)\nThe total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.\nUnderstandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.\nTherefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the traderâs potential return is leveraged.\nPut another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.\nIdeally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless). Then, the trader can sell one call after the other, until the long LEAPS call expires in about a year and half.\nPosition Management\nActive position management in a diagonal debit spread is typically more difficult for novice traders.\nIf RBLX is above $100 on Aug. 20, the position will make less than the potential maximum return as the short-dated option will start losing money.\nThen, the trader might feel the need to close the trade early if the RBLX price shoots up and the short call gets caught deep ITM. In that case, the trader might need to close the entire trade and start over, or put together alternative option strategies.\nIn a regular covered call, the trader might not necessarily mind being assigned the short option as s/he owns 100 shares of RBLX as well. However, in a poor personâs covered call, the trader would not necessarily want to be assigned the short call as s/he does not actually own those RBLX shares yet.\nOn Aug. 20, this LEAPS covered call trade would, in theory, also start losing money if the RBLX stock price falls to about $81 or below. However, the actual break-even point could be different as there are different variables that affect the price of an option. Understandably, a stock's price could drop to $0, decreasing the value of the long call with it.\nFinally, we must also remind readers that deep ITM LEAPS options tend to have high bid/ask spreads. Therefore, every time the trader buys or sells a LEAPS option, there could be a significant transaction cost.\nIn future weeks, weâll continue our discussion with different examples of options strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111020981,"gmtCreate":1622645014343,"gmtModify":1704188009849,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ","listText":"Good ","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111020981","repostId":"1141662964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141662964","pubTimestamp":1622643403,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141662964?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 22:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Trump blog page shuts down for good","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141662964","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTSFormer President Donald Trumpâs blog has been permanently shut down.The page, âFrom the De","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSFormer President Donald Trumpâs blog has been permanently shut down.The page, âFrom the Desk of Donald J.

However, Palantir has seen a nice rise in recent days, trading significantly higher than May 13 lows around $18 per share. It will open this morning above $22. Accordingly, traders looking for a swing trade may be enticed by this stock in this environment.</p>\n<p>The company has got its own set of catalysts that have taken PLTR stock on a nice ride of late. Letâs dive into whatâs going on with Palantir right now.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin Mania and PLTR Stock</p>\n<p>On May 11, Palantirreportedrelatively strong earnings. Quarterly revenue was up by 49% year-over-year, and the companyâs bottom line met analyst expectations. These decent numbers are a catalyst, in their own right.</p>\n<p>However, the big takeaway retail investors have gotten excited about from the companyâs earnings report had nothing to do with its backward-looking numbers.</p>\n<p>On the companyâsearnings call, CFO Dave Glazer provided some intriguing commentary on the companyâs plans around investing in, or potentially accepting as payment, <b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>).</p>\n<p>Palantir was co-foundedby Peter Thiel, an investor with a bullish outlook on crypto, and it appears the companyâs CFO has taken a similarly bullish stance on the idea of utilizing Bitcoin moving forward.</p>\n<p>The companyâs comments on this front were rather vague. Glazer noted the company was âopen for businessâ with respect to adding some Bitcoin exposure as a treasury investment. For crypto bulls, thatâs all the company needed to say.</p>\n<p>Indeed, if Palantir does add some crypto to its balance sheet, it wouldnât be the first high-profile company to do so of late. <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) CEOElon Muskrecently made a large $1.5 billion bet on Bitcoin, and other companies have followed.</p>\n<p>It appears Palantirâs management team is either very bullish on crypto or pandering to its retail investor base. In either case, as long as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to rise, Palantir stands to benefit right now.</p>\n<p>Bottom Line</p>\n<p>Palantir continues to be a stock that fits the profile of the meme stock investor today. The companyâs looking to attract more young, millennial, crypto-savvy investors with its policies.

However, Palantir has seen a nice rise in recent days, trading significantly higher than May 13 lows around $18 per share. It will open this morning above $22. Accordingly, traders looking for a swing trade may be enticed by this stock in this environment.\nThe company has got its own set of catalysts that have taken PLTR stock on a nice ride of late. Letâs dive into whatâs going on with Palantir right now.\nBitcoin Mania and PLTR Stock\nOn May 11, Palantirreportedrelatively strong earnings. Quarterly revenue was up by 49% year-over-year, and the companyâs bottom line met analyst expectations. These decent numbers are a catalyst, in their own right.\nHowever, the big takeaway retail investors have gotten excited about from the companyâs earnings report had nothing to do with its backward-looking numbers.\nOn the companyâsearnings call, CFO Dave Glazer provided some intriguing commentary on the companyâs plans around investing in, or potentially accepting as payment, Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD).\nPalantir was co-foundedby Peter Thiel, an investor with a bullish outlook on crypto, and it appears the companyâs CFO has taken a similarly bullish stance on the idea of utilizing Bitcoin moving forward.\nThe companyâs comments on this front were rather vague. Glazer noted the company was âopen for businessâ with respect to adding some Bitcoin exposure as a treasury investment. For crypto bulls, thatâs all the company needed to say.\nIndeed, if Palantir does add some crypto to its balance sheet, it wouldnât be the first high-profile company to do so of late. Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) CEOElon Muskrecently made a large $1.5 billion bet on Bitcoin, and other companies have followed.\nIt appears Palantirâs management team is either very bullish on crypto or pandering to its retail investor base. In either case, as long as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to rise, Palantir stands to benefit right now.\nBottom Line\nPalantir continues to be a stock that fits the profile of the meme stock investor today. The companyâs looking to attract more young, millennial, crypto-savvy investors with its policies. It appears PLTR stock still has somecachetin social media circles right now.\nAdditionally, Palantirâs business model is also attractive to older, more conservative growth investors. The companyâsbusiness modelrelies on big government contracts. The revenue provided from such contracts has proven to be stable and has grown substantially over the years.\nAdditionally, as big data becomes more of a problem for government agencies, the actionable insights Palantir can provide will become more valuable.\nThe company has grown its revenue by nearly-50% these past two quarters on a year-over-year business. While Palantirâslosses continue to be massiveand the companyâs balance sheet leaves something to be desired, itâs the revenue growth number that has long-term growth investors enticed with PLTR stock.\nIndeed, if Palantir can grow into its valuation, it could be a great stock here.\nRisks certainly do exist with this stock. Personally, I donât like the companyâs fundamentals. Until Palantir is profitable ( or leaning toward being profitable) Iâm out. But I can understand why investors may be enticed by PLTR stock right now.\nOn the date of publication, Chris MacDonald did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131637735,"gmtCreate":1621853710827,"gmtModify":1704363311246,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"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/131637735","repostId":"1173244066","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173244066","pubTimestamp":1621004086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173244066?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 22:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Disney, Airbnb and DoorDash results reveal about the post-pandemic economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173244066","media":"CNN","summary":"London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver ","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver of how people spend their money.</p>\n<p>The big question: As the coronavirus situation improves in countries like the United States, which trends from the past 14 months will have staying power, and which will be resigned to the pandemic past?</p>\n<p>Airbnb, DoorDash and Disney (DIS), which reported results after US markets closed on Thursday, provide some idea.</p>\n<p>Airbnb: The company said interest in travel is surging again as vaccines become more widely available, pointing to a sharp increase in bookings in the United Kingdom immediately after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans in February to gradually exit lockdown.

Here are a few reasons:</p><p>Its biggest booster set to guest host âSNLâ</p><p>Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, will host âSaturday Night Liveâ this weekend, which has already drawn cheers and jeers for the technologist. He has become one of the most prominent and vocal champions of dogecoin this year and some speculate that he could do something to promote doge.</p><p>Musk did refer to himself as the âdogefatherâ in one recent tweet ahead of his âSaturday Night Liveâ gig.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54a1a1602240507ad985c5efcb2571f5\" tg-width=\"501\" tg-height=\"177\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Brokerages trade dogecoin</p><p>A number of new venues have announced that they will trade dogecoin on their exchanges in recent days and weeks.</p><p>Crypto exchange Geminion Tuesdayannounced trading and custody support for the coin. Trading platform eToro also made dogecoin available for trading on its platform.Webullallowed its users to purchase dogecoin back on April 20.</p><p>FOMO</p><p>Fear of missing out also is said to be behind the surge. Some crypto participants speculate that the rise in dogecoin is being supported by retail traders who see the parody coin as more accessible investment (or trade) than, say, bitcoinBTCUSD,-0.16%,which was changing hands at $54,000, at last check on CoinDesk.</p><p>âDogecoin is surging because many cryptocurrency traders do not want to miss out on any buzz that stems from Elon Muskâs hosting of âSaturday Night Live,ââ wrote Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, in a daily note.</p><p>Gains in traditional assets also might seem more pedestrian. By comparison, gold futuresGC00,0.17%are down 6% so far this year, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.06%and the S&P 500 indexSPX,-0.67%are up by at least 10% in 2021, while the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,-1.88%has gained over 5%.</p><p>Accessibility</p><p>Konstantin Boyko-Romanovsky, CEO of Allnodes, via an emailed message, said he viewed support from Musk and fellow billionaire Mark Cuban as central to the bull thesis for dogecoin, but also said that some may perceive the crypto as more accessible compared against bitcoin, which hit a recent peak above $60,000 before cooling.</p><p>âIt appeals more to the general public because it costs so little. $60,000 for a single bitcoin may be intimidating to some.

Here are a few reasons:Its biggest booster set to guest host âSNLâElon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, will host âSaturday Night Liveâ this weekend, which has already drawn cheers and jeers for the technologist. He has become one of the most prominent and vocal champions of dogecoin this year and some speculate that he could do something to promote doge.Musk did refer to himself as the âdogefatherâ in one recent tweet ahead of his âSaturday Night Liveâ gig.Brokerages trade dogecoinA number of new venues have announced that they will trade dogecoin on their exchanges in recent days and weeks.Crypto exchange Geminion Tuesdayannounced trading and custody support for the coin. Trading platform eToro also made dogecoin available for trading on its platform.Webullallowed its users to purchase dogecoin back on April 20.FOMOFear of missing out also is said to be behind the surge. Some crypto participants speculate that the rise in dogecoin is being supported by retail traders who see the parody coin as more accessible investment (or trade) than, say, bitcoinBTCUSD,-0.16%,which was changing hands at $54,000, at last check on CoinDesk.âDogecoin is surging because many cryptocurrency traders do not want to miss out on any buzz that stems from Elon Muskâs hosting of âSaturday Night Live,ââ wrote Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, in a daily note.Gains in traditional assets also might seem more pedestrian. By comparison, gold futuresGC00,0.17%are down 6% so far this year, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+0.06%and the S&P 500 indexSPX,-0.67%are up by at least 10% in 2021, while the Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,-1.88%has gained over 5%.AccessibilityKonstantin Boyko-Romanovsky, CEO of Allnodes, via an emailed message, said he viewed support from Musk and fellow billionaire Mark Cuban as central to the bull thesis for dogecoin, but also said that some may perceive the crypto as more accessible compared against bitcoin, which hit a recent peak above $60,000 before cooling.âIt appeals more to the general public because it costs so little. $60,000 for a single bitcoin may be intimidating to some. In a way, doge then is more like a USD but in a digital form,â he wrote.Bubbles & maniasMoya wrote that the dogecoin bubble should have âpopped by now, but institutional interest is trying to take advantage of this momentum and that could support another push higher.âMany skeptics warn that dogecoin could leave a lot of newbie investors hemorrhaging losses if they wade into the asset imprudently.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102397991,"gmtCreate":1620176527413,"gmtModify":1704339724616,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571392409099070","idStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/3580191066548921\">@cheffun</a>:Nice","listText":"//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/3580191066548921\">@cheffun</a>:Nice","text":"//@cheffun:Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102397991","repostId":"1194616315","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194616315","pubTimestamp":1620052639,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194616315?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 22:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft considered cutting Xbox game fees from 30% to 12%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194616315","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Last week, Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) reduced its online store fees for PC game developers from30% to 12","content":"<p>Last week, Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) reduced its online store fees for PC game developers from30% to 12%.

Its Mac and iPad sales did better, with its computers up 70.1% and iPad sales growing nearly 79% on an annual basis.</p><p>Apple said it would increase its dividend by 7% to $0.22 per share and authorized $90 billion in share buybacks, which is significantly higher than last yearâs $50 billion outlay and 2019âČs $75 billion.</p><p>Hereâs how Apple did versus Refinitiv estimates:</p><ul><li><b>EPS</b>: $1.40 vs. $0.99 estimated</li><li><b>Revenue</b>: $89.58 billion vs. $77.36 billion estimated, up 53.7% year-over-year</li><li><b>iPhone revenue</b>: $47.94 billion vs. $41.43 billion estimated, up 65.5% year-over-year</li><li><b>Services revenue</b>: $16.90 billion vs. $15.57 billion estimated, up 26.7% year over year</li><li><b>Other Products revenue</b>: $7.83 billion vs. $7.79 billion estimated, up 24% year-over-year</li><li><b>Mac revenue</b>: $9.10 billion vs. $6.86 billion estimated, up 70.1% year-over-year</li><li><b>iPad revenue</b>: $7.80 billion vs. $5.58 billion estimated, up 78.9% year-over-year</li><li><b>Gross margin</b>: 42.5% vs. 39.8% estimated</li></ul><p>Apple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June. It hasnât provided revenue guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty. This is Appleâs second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.</p><p>Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers and businesses bought computers to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Appleâs strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies open up.</p><p>Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: âThis quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us.â</p><p>Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was âfueled byâ the companyâs introduction of its Mac laptops that used its own M1 chips for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by Intel. iPad sales were up nearly 79% year-over-year.</p><p>Neither of those results include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.</p><p>âWeâre seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac ⊠it continues to run just south of 50%,â Cook told CNBCâs Josh Lipton. âAnd, in China, itâs even higher than that ⊠itâs more around two-thirds. And that speaks to people preferring to work on the Mac.â</p><p>Appleâs iPhone also reported strong results this quarter, quelling fears that the current annual cycle could slow down. Last year, Apple released iPhones with a new exterior design and 5G support, which many investors believed could prompt a major upgrade cycle, which this quarterâs results indicate.</p><p>In greater China, which includes the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Appleâs revenue increased over 87% year-over-year to $17.73 billion, although the comparison is to a quarter last year in which China was largely shut down in the early days of the pandemic. Every other geographical category, including the Americas and Europe, were also up on an annual basis.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37a8b45c92174e3c9ab224d9a85f5e2d\" tg-width=\"1910\" tg-height=\"1114\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Appleâs high-margin services business, including iCloud, App Store, and subscriptions like Apple Music, also showed 26.7% growth.</p><p>One metric that Apple uses to show the growth in services is the number of subscriptions it has, which not only include its own subscriptions like Apple One, but also subscriptions through its App Store.</p><p>âWe now have over 660 million paid subscriptions across the services on the platform, and thatâs up 40 million from the previous quarter, which is an acceleration from 35 million,â Cook told CNBC.</p><p>However, Appleâs App Store has been challenged by lawmakers and companies that say it costs too much and has too much power. A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.</p><p>âThe App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store.

Apple has done this for years, and technology has certainly gotten to the point where Apple could update its store without downtime â it does it all the time â but why mess with a tradition?â Kif Leswing\nWhatâs at stake for Apple?\nI wrote yesterday about some of thetensions bubbling under the surface at Apple.

The number of flights will be increased by June 26 if there arenât further outbreaks in either city, one of the people said.</p>\n<p>Hong Kong and Singapore have been working on the creation of a travel corridor for months after plans for a November start were shelved due to a virus flareup in the Chinese territory. A plan to announce its revival last week was also canceled at the last minute by the Singapore side, people familiar with the matter said at the time.</p>\n<p>The Hong Kong government said a discussion with Singapore on the re-launch âis at an advance stage and the government will make announcement as soon as practicable.â Singaporeâs transport ministry referred Bloomberg News to its most recent press release on the matter. Singapore last week said the two cities had not fixed a date to announce the resumption of the bubble, but âwill do so once we are ready, hopefully very soon.â</p>\n<p>While Covid-19 cases in the two places pale in comparison to many countries, strict requirements for the bubble to open meant outbreaks that would be regarded as small elsewhere were enough to halt progress.</p>\n<p>Virus flareups in Hong Kong were the main reason for the months of delays. Now, after stemming a March outbreak centered on a gym, Hong Kong has been reporting only a handful of new infections a day, or low double-digits at most. Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on April 12 that the virus was âobviously containedâ in the city and encouraged more people to get vaccinated,dangling the prospect of looser rules on social distancing for those who were inoculated. Singapore averaged two new cases per week recently.</p>\n<p>Sporadic outbreaks also complicated a travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand. After many months in the making, a quarantine-free flight corridor between those two countries -- which have largely eliminated the virus due to strict border curbs -- opened on April 19.</p>\n<p>The Hong Kong-Singapore agreement should unleash a torrent of pent-up demand from people eager to fly overseas and potentially do business in person after more than a year of the pandemic, though it is unclear yet the limited number of flights or seats that will be made available.

The number of flights will be increased by June 26 if there arenât further outbreaks in either city, one of the people said.\nHong Kong and Singapore have been working on the creation of a travel corridor for months after plans for a November start were shelved due to a virus flareup in the Chinese territory. A plan to announce its revival last week was also canceled at the last minute by the Singapore side, people familiar with the matter said at the time.\nThe Hong Kong government said a discussion with Singapore on the re-launch âis at an advance stage and the government will make announcement as soon as practicable.â Singaporeâs transport ministry referred Bloomberg News to its most recent press release on the matter. Singapore last week said the two cities had not fixed a date to announce the resumption of the bubble, but âwill do so once we are ready, hopefully very soon.â\nWhile Covid-19 cases in the two places pale in comparison to many countries, strict requirements for the bubble to open meant outbreaks that would be regarded as small elsewhere were enough to halt progress.\nVirus flareups in Hong Kong were the main reason for the months of delays. Now, after stemming a March outbreak centered on a gym, Hong Kong has been reporting only a handful of new infections a day, or low double-digits at most. Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on April 12 that the virus was âobviously containedâ in the city and encouraged more people to get vaccinated,dangling the prospect of looser rules on social distancing for those who were inoculated. Singapore averaged two new cases per week recently.\nSporadic outbreaks also complicated a travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand. After many months in the making, a quarantine-free flight corridor between those two countries -- which have largely eliminated the virus due to strict border curbs -- opened on April 19.\nThe Hong Kong-Singapore agreement should unleash a torrent of pent-up demand from people eager to fly overseas and potentially do business in person after more than a year of the pandemic, though it is unclear yet the limited number of flights or seats that will be made available. The desire to travel in any way possible is reflected in the popularity of so-called cruises to nowhere in Singapore and tickets selling out for gimmicky dinners on parked aircraft.\nUnder previous travel bubble plans, flights will be operated by Singapore Airlines Ltd. and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd.The two airlines have been hammered by Covid-19 as they donât have domestic markets to compensate for a near-total collapse in international travel. Latest data show Cathay flew just 598 passengers a day on average in March as it operated a skeleton schedule to only 18 destinations. Singapore Airlinesâ numbers are also just a tiny fraction of pre-pandemic levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343152817,"gmtCreate":1617694701939,"gmtModify":1704701867221,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ","listText":"Good ","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343152817","repostId":"2125757547","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2125757547","pubTimestamp":1617610742,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2125757547?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 16:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FOMC meeting minutes, Powell speaks: What to know this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2125757547","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Traders returning from the long holiday weekend will turn their attention to more commentary out of ","content":"<p>Traders returning from the long holiday weekend will turn their attention to more commentary out of the Federal Reserve, with the Federal Open Market Committee's latest meeting minutes and a speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on deck.

This year, however, the 90-year-old Buffett is taking the meeting to Los Angeles so he can be by 97-year-old Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Mungerâs side once again. Munger resides in Los Angeles and missed the last annual meeting due to travel restrictions. It will be the first time that the annual meeting will take place outside of Omaha, Nebraska.While âWoodstock for Capitalistsâ will be missing the capitalists once again, the tone of the meeting may more likely resemble the meetings of old with shareholders clamoring for Buffettâs outlook on the world following an unprecedented year and the Oracle more likely to oblige after holding back last year with the country just starting its fight through the deadly and uncertain pandemic.âI hope there would be a pretty sharp contrast in the overall demeanor of the folks at Berkshire,â said Cathy Seifert, a Berkshire analyst at CFRA Research. âLast year, there was a degree of an alarm just because this was an event that was very difficult to price. It was kind of written all over his face. This annual meeting, the tone from an underlying operational perspective should be more relaxed.â(You can view last yearâs annual meeting and the others at theWarren Buffett Archive.)Berkshireâs other vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, will be on hand to answer the three-and-a-half hours of questions as well.Berkshireâs B shareswere up more than 1% on the week, bringing their return in the last 12 months to more than 47%.Among the big topics shareholders will want answers on:Airlines:His thoughts on the industry after revealing at last yearâs meeting he sold his entire stake (with the shares then subsequently roaring back).Deploying the $138 billion cash pile:Why heâs been buying back a record amount of Berkshireâs stock instead of making one large acquisition and what his plan is going forward.Market outlook:His thoughtâs on the stock marketâs overall valuation following the pandemic comebackBubbles?:Cryptocurrencies and the other possible market manias that have popped up amid the huge rush of retail investors into marketsLife after Buffett and Munger:Berkshireâs succession planDumped airlinesAt the last annual meeting, Buffett revealed that Berkshiresold the entirety of its equity positionin the U.S. airline industry, includingstakes in United, American, Southwest and Delta Air Lines, worth north of $4 billion.âThe world has changed for the airlines. And I donât know how itâs changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way,â Buffett said at the time. âI donât know if Americans have now changed their habits or will change their habits because of the extended period.âThe sale conveyed a pessimistic view on the industry from the legendary buy-and-hold investor. Many Buffett watchers were left disappointed, however, as shares of those carriers soon embarked on an epic rebound, rallying triple digits from 2020 lows. Even president Donald Trump weighed in on the trade back then, saying that Buffett has been right âhis whole life,â butmade a mistake selling airlines.âHe might acknowledge that the velocity of this recovery was greater than anticipated,â said Seifert. âThe airline disposal may have been a function of their belief that whatâs going on in the airline industry may be secular and not cyclical. Thatâs the one fine distinction that investors may want him to make.âWhile airline stocks have rebounded drastically over the past year, many argue that the industry may have indeed changed fundamentally due to the economic fallout and the road to a full recovery remains bumpy.United Airlines said this month thatbusiness and international travel recovery is still far off even as the economy continues to reopen.âHe may still be right about the airline industry with travel coming back slowly and there being too many planes,â said James Shanahan, a Berkshire analyst at Edward Jones. âArguably he could still be right about that, but heâs certainly wrong on the stocks.âNew stock movesBerkshire bought back arecord of $24.7 billion in its own shares last year, while Buffett also did some bargain-hunting amid the market comeback with sizable positions in big dividend payers ChevronandVerizon.Applewas still the conglomerateâs biggest common stock investment as of the end of 2020. Buffettâs conglomerate also appeared to dial back its exposure to financials. Berkshire exited itsJPMorganandPNC positionat the end of last year, while cutting theWells Fargostake was cut by nearly 60%.âWhen you think about the legacy of Berkshire Hathaway and all the operating businesses, including railroads, manufacturing, retail, utilities, itâs all old economy type companies,â Shanahan said. âThe way the portfolio is comprised now after the selling of airline stocks and selling of the financial stocks, together with huge performance in Apple, it looks a lot more new economy now.âShanahan estimated that Berkshire bought back another $5 billion of its own shares in the first quarter according to proxy filings.âElephant-sizedâ deal?The conglomerate was still sitting on a huge cash war chest with more than $138 billion at the end of 2020. Buffett has yet to make the âelephant-sized acquisitionâ heâs been touting for years. At last yearâs meeting, the legendary investor gave a simple reason for his inaction.âWe have not done anything because we havenât seen anything that attractive,â Buffett said. âWe are not doing anything big, obviously. We are willing to do something very big. I mean you could come to me on Monday morning with something that involved $30, or $40 billion or $50 billion. And if we really like what we are seeing, we would do it.âThe deal-making environment has only become all the more competitive over the past year with the meteoric rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. More than 500 blank-check deals with over $138 billion funds are seeking their target companies currently, according to SPAC Research.âThis is a significant company with a significant cash position. Investors have the right to know what they intend to deploy the cash,â Seifert said. âThey are entitled to have more than just an excuse. Investors are going to start to grow a bit weary if itâs just the same old story. But the stock has recovered nicely, so they are not going to be grumbling too much.âSuccessionWhen it comes to a concrete succession plan, shareholders might not get much more from Buffett and Munger even though they are now both nonagenarians.Abel, vice chairman of noninsurance operations at Berkshire, is seen as a top contender as Buffettâs successor.âI do not expect him to talk about succession in any more detail than he already had,â Shanahan said. âElevating the status of Abel and Jain to the roles of vice chairmen and having them available and participating in annual meeting speaks volume. I donât think he necessarily has to say more than that.â","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":373,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108059768,"gmtCreate":1619965395954,"gmtModify":1704336832294,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ?

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>â</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy â really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>â</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>âItâs become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"Thereâs nothing, you know, thereâs nothing illegal about it, thereâs nothing immoral. But I donât think youâd build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public â itâs not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and youâre not charging commission ... I hope we donât have more of it.â</p><p>â</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>â</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, Iâll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>âWell I would say it would depend on the premium,â Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.â</p><p>â</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew thereâd be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time ⊠The truth is, Iâm going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, weâve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And weâve probably got two people that are short. So weâve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And itâs just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I donât welcome a currency thatâs so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>â</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>â</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>â</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>â</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product â it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>â</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>â</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world â it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores.

The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California.

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.âBuffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy â really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.âBuffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.âItâs become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"Thereâs nothing, you know, thereâs nothing illegal about it, thereâs nothing immoral. But I donât think youâd build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public â itâs not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and youâre not charging commission ... I hope we donât have more of it.ââBuffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"âA shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, Iâll pass,\" Jain said.âWell I would say it would depend on the premium,â Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.ââWarren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew thereâd be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time ⊠The truth is, Iâm going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, weâve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And weâve probably got two people that are short. So weâve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And itâs just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I donât welcome a currency thatâs so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"âBoth Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"âLow interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"âBuffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.âBuffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product â it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.âA shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"âOne shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world â it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"âMost investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund ⊠Iâve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I donât want people to buy it because they think Iâm tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago.

I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"âBuffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies.

Morgan Virtual Investor Seminar a","content":"<p>On April 7, 2021, JPMorgan hosted two sessions as part of the J.P. Morgan Virtual Investor Seminar at the time of the 2021 IMF/WB Spring Meetings featuring external speakers and J.P. Morganâs Policy Center, Federal Government Relations and Global Research team to discuss the priorities for the Biden administration for the next 100 days and the macro and market implications.</p><p><i>What follows is a summary of the top 10 takeaways of the ideas presented during the seminar by JPMorgan analysts, strategists and economists</i>, as summarized by JPM itself.</p><p><b>1ăUS growth is entering a boom period with positive spillovers.</b>J.P. Morganâs Economics Research team estimates US growth will reach 9.5% in 2Q and 8.3% in 3Q before trending down to 6.3% for the year as a whole. Positive spillovers from US imports and a boom of the US economy from financial markets is a positive for the rest of the world, notwithstanding rising interest rates and possibly upward pressure on the dollar. Although vaccine distribution has been uneven across the world, the impending tidal wave of vaccine supply due to a ramp up in production in the next 3-6 months should improve prospects for growth in the rest of the world.</p><p><b>2ăThe recovery from the pandemic is vastly different from the scarring that took place after the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as both the US and China will close the output gap and will likely to be operating above full employment by the end of 2022.</b></p><p>J.P. Morganâs Economics Research team sees the US unemployment rate reaching 4.5% by year end which is vastly different to a similar point after the GFC where US unemployment was around 9.5%. This time around, the Fed and other central banks will likely remain firmly on hold in raising rates. Another important difference is that the US does not have an overhang of spending and durables, particularly in housing like in the GFC. Instead, there is tailwind from the improvement in household balance sheets where excess savings has been building up. However, emerging markets will bear the brunt of the scarring. Slow vaccination rates and limited fiscal space place EM (ex-China) around 4% below its pre-pandemic growth path.</p><p><b>3ăThe staggered global economic recovery â led by China last year, moving to the US now, with Europe to come later this year â supports the market recovery and risky assets will continue to benefit.</b></p><p>The scenario for the global environment remains favorable for risky assets backed by above-trend global GDP growth, continued policy support and progress on vaccination and re-opening of economies. It is a blessing in disguise that the global recovery is not synchronized as the staggered rally has prevented broad-based asset bubbles.<b>A synchronized recovery could have meant a likely overshooting of US treasury yields which would have negative implications for valuations of risky asset classes, specifically for equity multiples.</b></p><p>Positioning in risky assets remains below average in a historical context as markets are coming off a record year in market volatility with the VIX recording its highest level in March 2020 that caused broad de-risking across markets. J.P. Morganâs Equity Strategy Research team expects volatility to decline this year which will contribute to systematic investorsâ overall positioning moving higher not just in equity but in other risky assets such as commodities and emerging markets. We continue to favor cyclical sectors and believe that the energy sector remains attractive. While there is a lot of talk about asset bubbles, it is hard to see one in the broad equity market, but certain segments that have more than tripled in price over a short period of time are likely experiencing bubbles, such as innovative ESG sectors like clean energy, solar energy and Electric Vehicles, along with crypto assets and SPACs.</p><p><b>4ăFear of rising inflation is here to stay and the run rate for headline inflation will increase, but delivered inflation continues to lag, and we do not see a regime shift in actual inflation performance.</b></p><p>While markets could continue to test the Fedâs resolve, the messaging will remain clear that the Fed will tolerate an inflation overshoot, and its guidance for liftoff, rate normalization is likely off the table at least through 2022. We have not changed our forecast that the first Fed hike will not occur until early 2024. The recent pickup in headline inflation rates were due largely to jumps in energy prices. While business surveys could signal higher inflation to come, the relationship between the survey price data and future inflation changes generally has been weak.</p><p><b>5ăThe Biden administration will remain focused on super charging the economy before mid-term elections in 2022 with further spending to be pursued, with passage of the infrastructure bill likely to occur by end-September using budget reconciliation even if tax increases are not approved.</b></p><p>Democratsâ ability to control the Senate and the composition of the House could flip in 2022, and they are looking to take advantage of the current wave of support generated after the passing of the latest stimulus package and rapidly expanding vaccine eligibility to go as big as they can on an infrastructure package. Republicans are also feeling more confident in their standing as picking up seats in the House was unexpected. The outlook for the Senate is more uncertain due to the three pending retirements of Republican senators Roy Blunt (Missouri), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania). While Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has stated that she would like to see passage of the infrastructure package before the August recess, the hard deadline is likely mid-to-late September. This coincides with the September expiration of the surface transportation legislation known as the FAST Act, as well as the expiration of expanded unemployment benefits from the American Rescue Plan and the July 31 debt ceiling, which all act as deadlines for Congressional action.</p><p><b>6ăThe recent ruling by the US Senateâs parliamentarian to budget reconciliation procedures have the potential to be a ârevolutionâ in the Senate.</b></p><p>The budget reconciliation process allows for a bill to pass Congress with only 51 votes in the Senate, or 50 votes with the vice president casting the tie-breaking vote. The new ruling means that budget reconciliation is no longer limited to one vote within the fiscal year as revisions of prior budget measures can be proposed, with no limit on the number of revisions.</p><p><b>The implications of this ruling could mean that Democrats could try and pass much of the infrastructure bill, especially the parts pertaining to social equity, through budget reconciliation.</b>(However, Democratic Senators, such as Joe Manchin, have expressed their reservations on using budget reconciliation again this year.)</p><p><b>7ăThe possibility of gaining approval to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% is highly unlikely to pass with an increase in the 22-24% range more likely.</b></p><p>During the Trump administration, the corporate tax rate in the US was reduced from 35% to the current rate of 21%. The Biden administration has proposed raising the corporate tax rate to 28% and increase the international minimum tax rate that US companies pay on their foreign profits to 21%. The debate on corporate taxes is not a binary choice between 21% vs. 28%. Speakers cautioned that the US corporate tax rate needs to remain globally competitive and that the relative rate is what matters. Including the average 5% tax rate at the state-level raises the US corporate tax to 26%, which is âin the middle of the packâ as the average corporate tax rate for an OECD country is 24%.</p><p><b>If the US corporate tax is raised to 28%, it effectively increases to 33% including state taxes, which is a higher rate than China or Scandinavian countries.</b>This week, Treasury Secretary Yellen made the case for a global minimum corporate tax to address the global competitiveness issue and âavoid a race to the bottom.â The discussion on tax increases is separate from proposals to increase spending. There is no decision about how much of the infrastructure proposal needs to be paid for, or with what specific tax policy change. Nor is there a unified tax agenda and taxes will likely only be raised as much as they need to be raised. Wealth taxes are unlikely to be approved. A reversal of the state and local tax (SALT) cap, which currently hits high income earners the most, will not only be optically unappealing, it is expensive to replace and its expiration date at the end of 2025 makes it less open to debate than other measures. With slim majorities in the Senate and House, Democrats cannot afford to lose a single vote in the Senate and 3-4 votes in the House (though the House number changes daily) and many Democrats will still be hesitant to raise taxes before the 2022 election, when control of both the House and Senate is in play.</p><p><b>8ăMarkets will remain focused on the risk of a disorderly rise is US bond yields as the projected $3.8trn budget deficit will require $3trn in net new US Treasury supply with ongoing concerns on whether flows will be absorbed smoothly.</b></p><p>We look for higher yields and a steeper curve beyond the 2-year point, and our US Treasury team forecasts the 10-year yield at 1.95% at year-end. Bearish positions are focused on the 7- and 20-year points on the curve that have lacked sponsorship. Discussions on implications of the expiration of the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) carve-out are ongoing but unresolved, with some calls by former Fed officials to at least exempt the incremental reserves that have accumulated since it began its latest securities purchase program in March 2020 as GSIB banks are among the largest buyers of US Treasuries.</p><p><b>9ăCredit markets have been immune to higher rates, equity and commodities volatility in large part due to positive technicals.</b></p><p>While investors remain undecided between whether or not reflation will prove orderly or disorderly, issuance trends seem to reflect a much stronger statement by companies on credit market conditions going forward. Credit markets have been supported by the macroeconomic âsugar rushâ associated with the new Biden administrationâs spending plans, and US Treasury yields have duly reacted to the specter of inflation. This debate might be entering a new phase, however. The new executive is set to unveil a program of tax increases to pay for its $2trn infrastructure spending plans, which might influence expectations of how quickly said sugar rush might fade. However, the stickiness of secondary market spreads continues to reflect underlying positioning, which does not appear excessively levered or complex. All-in funding costs have likely bottomed and companies are refinancing â especially in loans â and companies unencumbering assets pledged as part of rescue-financing packages last year.</p><p><b>10ăDespite the volatility and underperformance of EM FX and local markets, which could persist with the ongoing rise in US rates, EM credit valuations are attractive.</b></p><p>EM credit valuations are attractive and cross-over and high grade investors have been gravitating to holding barbell positions in US and EM credit given attractive pickup (as much as 100bp in yield over US HY) and the low EM HY corporate default rate (JPM 2021F: 2.5%), which is expected around the levels of US HY (2.0%). EM equities havenât appreciated much over the past decade, and rising 10-year US treasury yields has predominantly been associated with positive absolute returns for EM equities but underperformance to DM equities. Our EM equity strategists have looked back 11 years (since the GFC) and identified periods where the US 10-year yield increased by more than 50bps. During these periods, there was a median USD+3.4% EM equity gain. EM equities produced negative results in only 2 of 8 periods (25%) (See Rising US yield: more friend than foe to EM equities, Pedro Martin Junior, 7 April 2021). US-China tensions will remain in the headlines, but both the US and China have focused on domestic issues rather than each other in recent months.

Morgan Virtual Investor Seminar at the time of the 2021 IMF/WB Spring Meetings featuring external speakers and J.P. Morganâs Policy Center, Federal Government Relations and Global Research team to discuss the priorities for the Biden administration for the next 100 days and the macro and market implications.What follows is a summary of the top 10 takeaways of the ideas presented during the seminar by JPMorgan analysts, strategists and economists, as summarized by JPM itself.1ăUS growth is entering a boom period with positive spillovers.J.P. Morganâs Economics Research team estimates US growth will reach 9.5% in 2Q and 8.3% in 3Q before trending down to 6.3% for the year as a whole. Positive spillovers from US imports and a boom of the US economy from financial markets is a positive for the rest of the world, notwithstanding rising interest rates and possibly upward pressure on the dollar. Although vaccine distribution has been uneven across the world, the impending tidal wave of vaccine supply due to a ramp up in production in the next 3-6 months should improve prospects for growth in the rest of the world.2ăThe recovery from the pandemic is vastly different from the scarring that took place after the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as both the US and China will close the output gap and will likely to be operating above full employment by the end of 2022.J.P. Morganâs Economics Research team sees the US unemployment rate reaching 4.5% by year end which is vastly different to a similar point after the GFC where US unemployment was around 9.5%. This time around, the Fed and other central banks will likely remain firmly on hold in raising rates. Another important difference is that the US does not have an overhang of spending and durables, particularly in housing like in the GFC. Instead, there is tailwind from the improvement in household balance sheets where excess savings has been building up. However, emerging markets will bear the brunt of the scarring. Slow vaccination rates and limited fiscal space place EM (ex-China) around 4% below its pre-pandemic growth path.3ăThe staggered global economic recovery â led by China last year, moving to the US now, with Europe to come later this year â supports the market recovery and risky assets will continue to benefit.The scenario for the global environment remains favorable for risky assets backed by above-trend global GDP growth, continued policy support and progress on vaccination and re-opening of economies. It is a blessing in disguise that the global recovery is not synchronized as the staggered rally has prevented broad-based asset bubbles.A synchronized recovery could have meant a likely overshooting of US treasury yields which would have negative implications for valuations of risky asset classes, specifically for equity multiples.Positioning in risky assets remains below average in a historical context as markets are coming off a record year in market volatility with the VIX recording its highest level in March 2020 that caused broad de-risking across markets. J.P. Morganâs Equity Strategy Research team expects volatility to decline this year which will contribute to systematic investorsâ overall positioning moving higher not just in equity but in other risky assets such as commodities and emerging markets. We continue to favor cyclical sectors and believe that the energy sector remains attractive. While there is a lot of talk about asset bubbles, it is hard to see one in the broad equity market, but certain segments that have more than tripled in price over a short period of time are likely experiencing bubbles, such as innovative ESG sectors like clean energy, solar energy and Electric Vehicles, along with crypto assets and SPACs.4ăFear of rising inflation is here to stay and the run rate for headline inflation will increase, but delivered inflation continues to lag, and we do not see a regime shift in actual inflation performance.While markets could continue to test the Fedâs resolve, the messaging will remain clear that the Fed will tolerate an inflation overshoot, and its guidance for liftoff, rate normalization is likely off the table at least through 2022. We have not changed our forecast that the first Fed hike will not occur until early 2024. The recent pickup in headline inflation rates were due largely to jumps in energy prices. While business surveys could signal higher inflation to come, the relationship between the survey price data and future inflation changes generally has been weak.5ăThe Biden administration will remain focused on super charging the economy before mid-term elections in 2022 with further spending to be pursued, with passage of the infrastructure bill likely to occur by end-September using budget reconciliation even if tax increases are not approved.Democratsâ ability to control the Senate and the composition of the House could flip in 2022, and they are looking to take advantage of the current wave of support generated after the passing of the latest stimulus package and rapidly expanding vaccine eligibility to go as big as they can on an infrastructure package. Republicans are also feeling more confident in their standing as picking up seats in the House was unexpected. The outlook for the Senate is more uncertain due to the three pending retirements of Republican senators Roy Blunt (Missouri), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania). While Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has stated that she would like to see passage of the infrastructure package before the August recess, the hard deadline is likely mid-to-late September. This coincides with the September expiration of the surface transportation legislation known as the FAST Act, as well as the expiration of expanded unemployment benefits from the American Rescue Plan and the July 31 debt ceiling, which all act as deadlines for Congressional action.6ăThe recent ruling by the US Senateâs parliamentarian to budget reconciliation procedures have the potential to be a ârevolutionâ in the Senate.The budget reconciliation process allows for a bill to pass Congress with only 51 votes in the Senate, or 50 votes with the vice president casting the tie-breaking vote. The new ruling means that budget reconciliation is no longer limited to one vote within the fiscal year as revisions of prior budget measures can be proposed, with no limit on the number of revisions.The implications of this ruling could mean that Democrats could try and pass much of the infrastructure bill, especially the parts pertaining to social equity, through budget reconciliation.(However, Democratic Senators, such as Joe Manchin, have expressed their reservations on using budget reconciliation again this year.)7ăThe possibility of gaining approval to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% is highly unlikely to pass with an increase in the 22-24% range more likely.During the Trump administration, the corporate tax rate in the US was reduced from 35% to the current rate of 21%. The Biden administration has proposed raising the corporate tax rate to 28% and increase the international minimum tax rate that US companies pay on their foreign profits to 21%. The debate on corporate taxes is not a binary choice between 21% vs. 28%. Speakers cautioned that the US corporate tax rate needs to remain globally competitive and that the relative rate is what matters. Including the average 5% tax rate at the state-level raises the US corporate tax to 26%, which is âin the middle of the packâ as the average corporate tax rate for an OECD country is 24%.If the US corporate tax is raised to 28%, it effectively increases to 33% including state taxes, which is a higher rate than China or Scandinavian countries.This week, Treasury Secretary Yellen made the case for a global minimum corporate tax to address the global competitiveness issue and âavoid a race to the bottom.â The discussion on tax increases is separate from proposals to increase spending. There is no decision about how much of the infrastructure proposal needs to be paid for, or with what specific tax policy change. Nor is there a unified tax agenda and taxes will likely only be raised as much as they need to be raised. Wealth taxes are unlikely to be approved. A reversal of the state and local tax (SALT) cap, which currently hits high income earners the most, will not only be optically unappealing, it is expensive to replace and its expiration date at the end of 2025 makes it less open to debate than other measures. With slim majorities in the Senate and House, Democrats cannot afford to lose a single vote in the Senate and 3-4 votes in the House (though the House number changes daily) and many Democrats will still be hesitant to raise taxes before the 2022 election, when control of both the House and Senate is in play.8ăMarkets will remain focused on the risk of a disorderly rise is US bond yields as the projected $3.8trn budget deficit will require $3trn in net new US Treasury supply with ongoing concerns on whether flows will be absorbed smoothly.We look for higher yields and a steeper curve beyond the 2-year point, and our US Treasury team forecasts the 10-year yield at 1.95% at year-end. Bearish positions are focused on the 7- and 20-year points on the curve that have lacked sponsorship. Discussions on implications of the expiration of the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) carve-out are ongoing but unresolved, with some calls by former Fed officials to at least exempt the incremental reserves that have accumulated since it began its latest securities purchase program in March 2020 as GSIB banks are among the largest buyers of US Treasuries.9ăCredit markets have been immune to higher rates, equity and commodities volatility in large part due to positive technicals.While investors remain undecided between whether or not reflation will prove orderly or disorderly, issuance trends seem to reflect a much stronger statement by companies on credit market conditions going forward. Credit markets have been supported by the macroeconomic âsugar rushâ associated with the new Biden administrationâs spending plans, and US Treasury yields have duly reacted to the specter of inflation. This debate might be entering a new phase, however. The new executive is set to unveil a program of tax increases to pay for its $2trn infrastructure spending plans, which might influence expectations of how quickly said sugar rush might fade. However, the stickiness of secondary market spreads continues to reflect underlying positioning, which does not appear excessively levered or complex. All-in funding costs have likely bottomed and companies are refinancing â especially in loans â and companies unencumbering assets pledged as part of rescue-financing packages last year.10ăDespite the volatility and underperformance of EM FX and local markets, which could persist with the ongoing rise in US rates, EM credit valuations are attractive.EM credit valuations are attractive and cross-over and high grade investors have been gravitating to holding barbell positions in US and EM credit given attractive pickup (as much as 100bp in yield over US HY) and the low EM HY corporate default rate (JPM 2021F: 2.5%), which is expected around the levels of US HY (2.0%). EM equities havenât appreciated much over the past decade, and rising 10-year US treasury yields has predominantly been associated with positive absolute returns for EM equities but underperformance to DM equities. Our EM equity strategists have looked back 11 years (since the GFC) and identified periods where the US 10-year yield increased by more than 50bps. During these periods, there was a median USD+3.4% EM equity gain. EM equities produced negative results in only 2 of 8 periods (25%) (See Rising US yield: more friend than foe to EM equities, Pedro Martin Junior, 7 April 2021). US-China tensions will remain in the headlines, but both the US and China have focused on domestic issues rather than each other in recent months. The Biden administration has embraced a multilateral approach to discussions with China, focusing on working with allies and international institutions, and the first meetings have included Japan, Korea and the European Union.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":35,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341794568,"gmtCreate":1617853842054,"gmtModify":1704703969053,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341794568","repostId":"1175293107","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175293107","pubTimestamp":1617851767,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175293107?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-08 11:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Hot Stocks To Buy for an Explosion in Consumerism","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175293107","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The U.S. economy is expected to boom in Q2, with these hot stocks benefiting as consumers open their wallets.The coronavirus pandemic had a chilling effect on the economy in 2020.

Millions of Americans were out of work, stores were physically shut down and there was a growing list of retail bankruptcies. Last June, the World Bank predicted Covid-19 would gut the global economy, triggering the âworst recession since World War II.â</p><p>Economists are far more optimistic these days. With vaccines making their way into arms and life beginning to return to a sense of normalcy,the U.S. economy is projected to boomin the second quarter. Consumer spending is expected to lead the way in making the economy âsizzle.â These seven hot stocks are<i>Portfolio Grader</i>âA-ratedâ picks.</p><p>Each is set to reward investors as an explosion of consumerism fuels growth:</p><ul><li><b>Boston Beer Company</b> (NYSE:<b><u>SAM</u></b>)</li><li><b>BRP Group</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>DOOO</u></b>)</li><li><b>Hain Celestial</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>HAIN</u></b>)</li><li><b>Nio</b> (NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>)</li><li><b>Nu Skin Enterprises</b> (NYSE:<b><u>NUS</u></b>)</li><li><b>Simply Good Foods</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>SMPL</u></b>)</li><li><b>Sony</b> (NYSE:<b><u>SONY</u></b>)</li></ul><p>If youâre eyeing any of these hot stocks, donât wait too long. While previously untouchabletech stocks have struggled in 2021, some of these have already kicked off impressive growth trajectories this year.</p><p><b>1ăHot Stocks: Boston Beer Company (SAM)</b></p><p>2020 was a year marked by restaurant closures, cancelled vacations, requests for people to self-isolate and frowned-upon social gatherings. Not great news for a beer company, you would think.</p><p>However, despite the challenging circumstances, Boston Beer Company continued its streak ofquarterly double-digit volume growth throughout the year.In its fourth quarter, the company reported shipments up 54% year-over-year, while revenue was up 53%. The company is starting out 2021 by adding Truly Iced Tea hard seltzer to its established brands, including Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Dogfish Head.</p><p>SAM stock posted an impressive gain of 163% in 2020. It has followed that up with a gain of 30% so far in 2021. With restaurants and bars re-opening, backyard BBQs back on and summer vacations looking like a possibility, look for that growth to continue.</p><p><b>2ăBRP Group (DOOO)</b></p><p>BRP Group owns a long list of brands that are very well-known among outdoor activities enthusiasts. The company makes Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Evinrude outboard boat engines, Can-Am three-wheel motorcycles, Sea-Doo watercraft and others.</p><p>All of these products have one things in common: their market is primarily recreational. When the economy is sputtering and people are laid off, big-ticket recreational purchases suffer. Temporarily shuttered showrooms donât help. Neither does having to shut down manufacturing facilities during Covid-19 outbreaks.</p><p>The impact of the pandemic was felt by BRP Group, which saw itsQ2 revenue drop 15.5% YoY.</p><p>DOOO stock took a big hit early last year, but rallied as the summer approached. It closed at a new high of $32.58 last November, marking 121% growth over six months. With the economy heating up along with the weather andstimulus checks arriving in the mail, DOOO stock is positioned for another hot summer of growth. In fact it may be one of the top hot stocks on the list.</p><p><b>3ăHain Celestial(HAIN)</b></p><p>When we were in lockdown, trying to save money because of layoffs, and/or avoiding crowds in grocery stores in 2020, food was about getting in the essentials. People were fighting overbasics like flour!</p><p>Now that weâre in recovery, consumers can afford to be pickier. In addition, after a year of the pandemic,many people have gained weightand are concerned about their health.</p><p>That sets the stage for Hain Celestial to make big gains in the supermarket. The company offers a wide range of food brands, many of them aimed at healthy eaters. Youâll find names like Avalon Organics, Celestial Seasonings, Earthâs Best Organic, Health Valley and Yves Veggie Cuisine under the Hain Celestial umbrella.</p><p>After a four-year slide that saw HAIN stock shed three quarters of its value, the companyâs fortunes turned around in 2019. In 2020, that accelerated. So far in 2021, shares are up 12% and that trend is only going to expand as health-conscious consumers open their wallets.</p><p><b>4ăNio (NIO)</b></p><p>Donât make the mistake of leaving China out of the equation. Yes, the company makes many of the products that American consumers are expecting to be shelling out for. But Chinese consumers are also a force to be reckoned with. That country was the first to recover from the pandemic, and itâs the first to be experiencing a big economic rebound.</p><p>Chinese consumers arenât just buying clothes and electronics. Theyâre buying big-ticket items, including cars. EV sales are on fire in the U.S. and they are also surging in popularity in China. Chinese EV pioneer Nio wasstruggling to survive in 2019. In 2020, it fixed its quality control issues, released new models, and introduced a popular Battery-as-a-Service model.</p><p>Nio EVs are an aspirational purchase for affluent Chinese consumers, and they have been snapping up the cars. In March, that amounted to an all-time record 7,257 EVs delivered for the company â up 373% YoY.</p><p>NIO stock neared $63 in February (it closed off 2019 below $2.50), before being caught up in the tech stock selloff. With shares now around $40, NIO stock is a big opportunity. Itâs not only one of the hot stocks to take advantage of the explosion in consumer spending, itâs also a great pick to ride the EV wave.</p><p><b>5ăNu Skin (NUS)</b></p><p>After a year of avoiding crowds, wearing masks and often working from home, the beauty industry was upended by the pandemic. Products like lipstick saw sales plummet. However, skin care was in. The market was already on the rise, but concerns like âmaskneâ â thatâs acne caused by wearing a mask for hours at a time â really helped to push skin care to the forefront.</p><p>NuSkin primarily specializes in skin care and anti-aging regimes including cleansers, toners, peels, creams and even $300+ powered devices for home spa treatments. Much of that is sold directly by the company, online. In the fourth quarter,Nu Skin sold $748.2 million worth of these home skin care treatments. Thatâs a 28% YoY increase. Q4 earnings of $1.40 per share were up 94% and smashed Wall Street estimates.</p><p>Over the past 12 months, NUS stock is up 138%. Itâs on a trajectory that shows no sign of levelling out any time soon.</p><p><b>6ăSimply Good Foods (SMPL)</b></p><p>After a year of snacking and eating comfort food, Americans have paid the price. According to a survey published on<i>WebMD</i>,76% of Americans packed on the pounds during the pandemic. The so-called âthe quarantine 15â is real. Being able to dress casual isnât the only reason why sweatpants have been so popular.</p><p>Simply Good Foods brands owns two popular weight loss and nutritional snacking brands: Atkins and Quest. These saw softer sales during the pandemic.The company noted the effect of âtemporary softer consumer interest in weight management during COVID-19 era along with lower on-the-go usage occasions.â</p><p>However, consumers have proven theyâre willing to spend money to get rid of extra weight â especially if they can do so without having to spend hours at the gym or give up on snacking altogether. In addition, as the country re-opens and workers start moving back to the office, on-the-go snacking will begin again. Thatâs a recipe for growth for Simply Good Foods. SMPL stock has posted a gain of 88% over the past 12 months. As sales ramp back up, itâs in a great position to continue that growth.</p><p><b>7ăSony (SONY)</b></p><p>Sony still makes many of the gadgets the company used to be known for, including TVs and audio equipment. It still has a thriving image sensor and camera business. Believe it or not, the company isstill in the smartphone business. It has valuable movie and music businesses as well. But all of these pale in comparison to video games.</p><p>Video game consoles, Sony video games and membership fees for gaming servicesaccounted for over 40% of the companyâs profit last year.</p><p>One of 2020âs must-have purchases was the Sony PlayStation 5 next-gen game console. Despite only being launched in November, the company sold 4.5 million of them last year. Four months into 2021, PS5 consoles remain difficult to find on store shelves. An industry-wide processor shortage isnât helping, but the fact is the PS5 is hot.

Millions of Americans were out of work, stores were physically shut down and there was a growing list of retail bankruptcies. Last June, the World Bank predicted Covid-19 would gut the global economy, triggering the âworst recession since World War II.âEconomists are far more optimistic these days. With vaccines making their way into arms and life beginning to return to a sense of normalcy,the U.S. economy is projected to boomin the second quarter. Consumer spending is expected to lead the way in making the economy âsizzle.â These seven hot stocks arePortfolio GraderâA-ratedâ picks.Each is set to reward investors as an explosion of consumerism fuels growth:Boston Beer Company (NYSE:SAM)BRP Group (NASDAQ:DOOO)Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN)Nio (NYSE:NIO)Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE:NUS)Simply Good Foods (NASDAQ:SMPL)Sony (NYSE:SONY)If youâre eyeing any of these hot stocks, donât wait too long. While previously untouchabletech stocks have struggled in 2021, some of these have already kicked off impressive growth trajectories this year.1ăHot Stocks: Boston Beer Company (SAM)2020 was a year marked by restaurant closures, cancelled vacations, requests for people to self-isolate and frowned-upon social gatherings. Not great news for a beer company, you would think.However, despite the challenging circumstances, Boston Beer Company continued its streak ofquarterly double-digit volume growth throughout the year.In its fourth quarter, the company reported shipments up 54% year-over-year, while revenue was up 53%. The company is starting out 2021 by adding Truly Iced Tea hard seltzer to its established brands, including Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Dogfish Head.SAM stock posted an impressive gain of 163% in 2020. It has followed that up with a gain of 30% so far in 2021. With restaurants and bars re-opening, backyard BBQs back on and summer vacations looking like a possibility, look for that growth to continue.2ăBRP Group (DOOO)BRP Group owns a long list of brands that are very well-known among outdoor activities enthusiasts. The company makes Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Evinrude outboard boat engines, Can-Am three-wheel motorcycles, Sea-Doo watercraft and others.All of these products have one things in common: their market is primarily recreational. When the economy is sputtering and people are laid off, big-ticket recreational purchases suffer. Temporarily shuttered showrooms donât help. Neither does having to shut down manufacturing facilities during Covid-19 outbreaks.The impact of the pandemic was felt by BRP Group, which saw itsQ2 revenue drop 15.5% YoY.DOOO stock took a big hit early last year, but rallied as the summer approached. It closed at a new high of $32.58 last November, marking 121% growth over six months. With the economy heating up along with the weather andstimulus checks arriving in the mail, DOOO stock is positioned for another hot summer of growth. In fact it may be one of the top hot stocks on the list.3ăHain Celestial(HAIN)When we were in lockdown, trying to save money because of layoffs, and/or avoiding crowds in grocery stores in 2020, food was about getting in the essentials. People were fighting overbasics like flour!Now that weâre in recovery, consumers can afford to be pickier. In addition, after a year of the pandemic,many people have gained weightand are concerned about their health.That sets the stage for Hain Celestial to make big gains in the supermarket. The company offers a wide range of food brands, many of them aimed at healthy eaters. Youâll find names like Avalon Organics, Celestial Seasonings, Earthâs Best Organic, Health Valley and Yves Veggie Cuisine under the Hain Celestial umbrella.After a four-year slide that saw HAIN stock shed three quarters of its value, the companyâs fortunes turned around in 2019. In 2020, that accelerated. So far in 2021, shares are up 12% and that trend is only going to expand as health-conscious consumers open their wallets.4ăNio (NIO)Donât make the mistake of leaving China out of the equation. Yes, the company makes many of the products that American consumers are expecting to be shelling out for. But Chinese consumers are also a force to be reckoned with. That country was the first to recover from the pandemic, and itâs the first to be experiencing a big economic rebound.Chinese consumers arenât just buying clothes and electronics. Theyâre buying big-ticket items, including cars. EV sales are on fire in the U.S. and they are also surging in popularity in China. Chinese EV pioneer Nio wasstruggling to survive in 2019. In 2020, it fixed its quality control issues, released new models, and introduced a popular Battery-as-a-Service model.Nio EVs are an aspirational purchase for affluent Chinese consumers, and they have been snapping up the cars. In March, that amounted to an all-time record 7,257 EVs delivered for the company â up 373% YoY.NIO stock neared $63 in February (it closed off 2019 below $2.50), before being caught up in the tech stock selloff. With shares now around $40, NIO stock is a big opportunity. Itâs not only one of the hot stocks to take advantage of the explosion in consumer spending, itâs also a great pick to ride the EV wave.5ăNu Skin (NUS)After a year of avoiding crowds, wearing masks and often working from home, the beauty industry was upended by the pandemic. Products like lipstick saw sales plummet. However, skin care was in. The market was already on the rise, but concerns like âmaskneâ â thatâs acne caused by wearing a mask for hours at a time â really helped to push skin care to the forefront.NuSkin primarily specializes in skin care and anti-aging regimes including cleansers, toners, peels, creams and even $300+ powered devices for home spa treatments. Much of that is sold directly by the company, online. In the fourth quarter,Nu Skin sold $748.2 million worth of these home skin care treatments. Thatâs a 28% YoY increase. Q4 earnings of $1.40 per share were up 94% and smashed Wall Street estimates.Over the past 12 months, NUS stock is up 138%. Itâs on a trajectory that shows no sign of levelling out any time soon.6ăSimply Good Foods (SMPL)After a year of snacking and eating comfort food, Americans have paid the price. According to a survey published onWebMD,76% of Americans packed on the pounds during the pandemic. The so-called âthe quarantine 15â is real. Being able to dress casual isnât the only reason why sweatpants have been so popular.Simply Good Foods brands owns two popular weight loss and nutritional snacking brands: Atkins and Quest. These saw softer sales during the pandemic.The company noted the effect of âtemporary softer consumer interest in weight management during COVID-19 era along with lower on-the-go usage occasions.âHowever, consumers have proven theyâre willing to spend money to get rid of extra weight â especially if they can do so without having to spend hours at the gym or give up on snacking altogether. In addition, as the country re-opens and workers start moving back to the office, on-the-go snacking will begin again. Thatâs a recipe for growth for Simply Good Foods. SMPL stock has posted a gain of 88% over the past 12 months. As sales ramp back up, itâs in a great position to continue that growth.7ăSony (SONY)Sony still makes many of the gadgets the company used to be known for, including TVs and audio equipment. It still has a thriving image sensor and camera business. Believe it or not, the company isstill in the smartphone business. It has valuable movie and music businesses as well. But all of these pale in comparison to video games.Video game consoles, Sony video games and membership fees for gaming servicesaccounted for over 40% of the companyâs profit last year.One of 2020âs must-have purchases was the Sony PlayStation 5 next-gen game console. Despite only being launched in November, the company sold 4.5 million of them last year. Four months into 2021, PS5 consoles remain difficult to find on store shelves. An industry-wide processor shortage isnât helping, but the fact is the PS5 is hot. With the console just starting its life-cycle, look for Sony to be enjoying years of benefits, including sales of games, accessories and gaming memberships.After a rough 12 years, from 2000 to 2012 (during which shares lost over 90% of their value), SONY stock has been posting solid growth. That includes a 82% gain over the past 12 months. With gamers snapping up new PlayStation consoles at $399 and $499 a pop, look for this hot stock to be a big performer for the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341092720,"gmtCreate":1617759968860,"gmtModify":1704702734771,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/675ee724e69e84976e194bef3842dbb7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?
