While hopes for blowout 2021<b>General Motors</b>' (GM) earnings and resumption of a dividend have been set back by the global chip shortage, GM continues to accelerate investment in electric and autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, GM's corporate reinvention should continue apace, with a number of expected milestones and potential for the unexpected that could serve as catalysts for GM stock.</p>\n<p>GM is preparing to launch three new passenger EVs by fall. That includes the buzzworthy Hummer EV, as well as an updated Chevy Bolt and SUV version of the Bolt. By late 2021, GM will deliver its first of 500 EV600 commercial van to FedEx.</p>\n<p>More van orders, more corporate partnerships like Honda's use of the Ultium EV battery, and more revelations about the broad fleet of EVs slated for launch could provide fuel for GM stock. On April 3, during the NCAA basketball tournament, GM is set to reveal its Hummer SUV — a version of the supertruck with an enclosed cargo bed — &nbsp;and begin taking reservations. So is now a good time to buy GM stock?</p>\n<p><b>GM Stock Priced Like An Underdog</b></p>\n<p>GM says it's headed for the front of the EV pack, yet it still appears priced like an underdog.</p>\n<p>As of March 9, GM stock had a market cap of $85billion compared to $666 billion for<b>Tesla</b>(TSLA), despite having roughly 3.5 times Tesla's sales in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>Yet the bulk of those GM sales are for internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles. That business could be headed for the scrap heap by 2035, GM announced on Jan. 18.</p>\n<p>That blockbuster news prompted Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas to cut his discounted value for GM's ICE business to zero. Yet Wall Street analysts continue to gain confidence in its EV, self-driving and fuel-cell future, and that's the key to driving shareholder value. Jonas simultaneously hiked his price target for GM stock to 80 from 57 based on the increasing value of General Motors' other parts.</p>\n<p>GM's transition isn't without risk. As GM funds itself mainly through ICE profits, pure-play EV automakers, including Tesla and a host of Chinese rivals havebuilt up huge EV war chests by issuing stock. Meanwhile,<b>Toyota</b>(TM) and EV battery startup<b>QuantumScape</b>(QS) have highlighted their separate progress toward a solid-state EV battery that has potential to offer faster charging, longer distance and greater safety.</p>\n<p><b>Apple</b>(AAPL), with far greater resources, also is working toward its own EV battery breakthrough and could reportedly produce an electric, autonomous vehicle in 2024.</p>\n<p>It's hard to know where GM stands in the EV hierarchy, because such big technology breakthroughs may not be ready for the production line until mid-decade or later. Meanwhile, GM also has made some head-turning claims about itsnext-generation lithium-metal EV battery.</p>\n<p><b>EV Transition</b></p>\n<p>On Nov. 19, GM mapped out its road to launching 30 EV models globally by 2025, while topping its prior goal of 1 million EV sales and achieving big EV battery cost-reductions and efficiency gains.</p>\n<p>GM's accelerated transformation will see it invest $7 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles this year and $27 billion by 2025. That could include asecond EV battery factorybuilt with partner LG Chem, which may be announced in coming months.</p>\n<p>Barra said GM will realize $2 billion in cost efficiencies from shared engineering, manufacturing, marketing and corporate cost by maintaining an integrated strategy. That quieted Wall Street analysts who had been pushing for GM to spin off its EV business to better compete with Tesla.</p>\n<p>Barra also said that GM's flexible Ultium EV architecture has helped cut vehicle development time by nearly 50%. She said the launch of the Cadillac Lyriq SUV had been moved up about nine months from the date initially announced.GM will speed up the launch timing of 12 EV models, some by as much as 40 months.</p>\n<p>\"We're committed to fighting for EV market share until we are number one in North America, achieving margins similar to or higher than our ICE business and exceeding our previous target of selling 1 million vehicles globally by mid-decade,\" Barra said.</p>\n<p><b>GM Stock Chart Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p>GM stock soared in October and November on the Hummer EV launch and stepped-up EV factory and production plans.</p>\n<p>Shares subsequently pulled back on its&nbsp;dramatically scaled-back deal with Nikola. Yet GM stock twice found support at its 10-week and 50-day line. IBDSwingTradertook advantage of an early entry point, establishing a position as GM stock cleared its Dec. 23 intraday high that came on the first bounce above its 50-day line.</p>\n<p>On Jan. 12, as GM surprised Wall Street by revealing the existence of Brightdrop, its EV commercial delivery vehicle and logistics startup, GM stock broke through a more traditional 46.81buy point, 10 cents above its Nov. 24 high. General Motors stock jumped 6.2% to close at 47.81, breaking above the October 2017 all-time high of 46.76.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, momentum continued amid news on Jan. 19 that<b>Microsoft</b>(MSFT) had joined a new investment round in GM's&nbsp;Cruise autonomous vehicle unit.</p>\n<p>GM stock subsequently hit a new high of 57.05 on Feb. 8, overcoming its first report that a chip shortage would sideline some production.</p>\n<p>While GM stock pulled back on earnings and amid broader stock market volatility, it found support at its 50-day moving average.</p>\n<p>On March 12, GM stock surged to 59.25, clearing 57.15 buy point, 10 cents above the Feb. 8 high. Although the base is on the short side, GM stock has been consolidating since it touched an interim high of 56.97 on Jan. 21.</p>\n<p>However, GM stock is 13% above its 10-week line, so it looks a little extended from that perspective. That makes it more likely that shares could test their buy point.</p>\n<p>As of March 12, GM stock sported an 86Relative Strength Rating, meaning it has outperformed 86% of all stocks over the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>Therelative strength line, which shows how GM stock performs vs. the S&amp;P 500 index, is back to a two-plus year high.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06cb85c04a0f9a37a5b1d34c02be7448\" tg-width=\"809\" tg-height=\"411\"><b>General Motors Earnings And Sales Trends</b></p>\n<p>After a bumpy few years, thanks to a UAW strike, soft sales in China and Covid-19, General Motors earnings appeared to turn the corner in the second half of 2020, helped by sales strength and cost reductions.</p>\n<p>Then, in Q4, General Motors earnings per share cruised past estimates, surging to $1.93 vs. just 5 cents per share a year ago, helped by the launch of its full-size SUV. The year-ago period was marred by the UAW strike. GM's Q4 EPS would have been even better if not for a 59-cent hit due to a Takata airbag-inflator recall.</p>\n<p>Sales remained on a roll in Q4.

While hopes for blowout 2021General Motors' (GM) earnings and resumption of a dividend have been set back by the global chip shortage, GM continues to accelerate investment in electric and autonomous vehicles.\nMeanwhile, GM's corporate reinvention should continue apace, with a number of expected milestones and potential for the unexpected that could serve as catalysts for GM stock.\nGM is preparing to launch three new passenger EVs by fall. That includes the buzzworthy Hummer EV, as well as an updated Chevy Bolt and SUV version of the Bolt. By late 2021, GM will deliver its first of 500 EV600 commercial van to FedEx.\nMore van orders, more corporate partnerships like Honda's use of the Ultium EV battery, and more revelations about the broad fleet of EVs slated for launch could provide fuel for GM stock. On April 3, during the NCAA basketball tournament, GM is set to reveal its Hummer SUV — a version of the supertruck with an enclosed cargo bed —  and begin taking reservations. So is now a good time to buy GM stock?\nGM Stock Priced Like An Underdog\nGM says it's headed for the front of the EV pack, yet it still appears priced like an underdog.\nAs of March 9, GM stock had a market cap of $85billion compared to $666 billion forTesla(TSLA), despite having roughly 3.5 times Tesla's sales in the fourth quarter.\nYet the bulk of those GM sales are for internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles. That business could be headed for the scrap heap by 2035, GM announced on Jan. 18.\nThat blockbuster news prompted Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas to cut his discounted value for GM's ICE business to zero. Yet Wall Street analysts continue to gain confidence in its EV, self-driving and fuel-cell future, and that's the key to driving shareholder value. Jonas simultaneously hiked his price target for GM stock to 80 from 57 based on the increasing value of General Motors' other parts.\nGM's transition isn't without risk. As GM funds itself mainly through ICE profits, pure-play EV automakers, including Tesla and a host of Chinese rivals havebuilt up huge EV war chests by issuing stock. Meanwhile,Toyota(TM) and EV battery startupQuantumScape(QS) have highlighted their separate progress toward a solid-state EV battery that has potential to offer faster charging, longer distance and greater safety.\nApple(AAPL), with far greater resources, also is working toward its own EV battery breakthrough and could reportedly produce an electric, autonomous vehicle in 2024.\nIt's hard to know where GM stands in the EV hierarchy, because such big technology breakthroughs may not be ready for the production line until mid-decade or later. Meanwhile, GM also has made some head-turning claims about itsnext-generation lithium-metal EV battery.\nEV Transition\nOn Nov. 19, GM mapped out its road to launching 30 EV models globally by 2025, while topping its prior goal of 1 million EV sales and achieving big EV battery cost-reductions and efficiency gains.\nGM's accelerated transformation will see it invest $7 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles this year and $27 billion by 2025. That could include asecond EV battery factorybuilt with partner LG Chem, which may be announced in coming months.\nBarra said GM will realize $2 billion in cost efficiencies from shared engineering, manufacturing, marketing and corporate cost by maintaining an integrated strategy. That quieted Wall Street analysts who had been pushing for GM to spin off its EV business to better compete with Tesla.\nBarra also said that GM's flexible Ultium EV architecture has helped cut vehicle development time by nearly 50%. She said the launch of the Cadillac Lyriq SUV had been moved up about nine months from the date initially announced.GM will speed up the launch timing of 12 EV models, some by as much as 40 months.\n\"We're committed to fighting for EV market share until we are number one in North America, achieving margins similar to or higher than our ICE business and exceeding our previous target of selling 1 million vehicles globally by mid-decade,\" Barra said.\nGM Stock Chart Technical Analysis\nGM stock soared in October and November on the Hummer EV launch and stepped-up EV factory and production plans.\nShares subsequently pulled back on its dramatically scaled-back deal with Nikola. Yet GM stock twice found support at its 10-week and 50-day line. IBDSwingTradertook advantage of an early entry point, establishing a position as GM stock cleared its Dec. 23 intraday high that came on the first bounce above its 50-day line.\nOn Jan. 12, as GM surprised Wall Street by revealing the existence of Brightdrop, its EV commercial delivery vehicle and logistics startup, GM stock broke through a more traditional 46.81buy point, 10 cents above its Nov. 24 high. General Motors stock jumped 6.2% to close at 47.81, breaking above the October 2017 all-time high of 46.76.\nMeanwhile, momentum continued amid news on Jan. 19 thatMicrosoft(MSFT) had joined a new investment round in GM's Cruise autonomous vehicle unit.\nGM stock subsequently hit a new high of 57.05 on Feb. 8, overcoming its first report that a chip shortage would sideline some production.\nWhile GM stock pulled back on earnings and amid broader stock market volatility, it found support at its 50-day moving average.\nOn March 12, GM stock surged to 59.25, clearing 57.15 buy point, 10 cents above the Feb. 8 high. Although the base is on the short side, GM stock has been consolidating since it touched an interim high of 56.97 on Jan. 21.\nHowever, GM stock is 13% above its 10-week line, so it looks a little extended from that perspective. That makes it more likely that shares could test their buy point.\nAs of March 12, GM stock sported an 86Relative Strength Rating, meaning it has outperformed 86% of all stocks over the past 12 months.\nTherelative strength line, which shows how GM stock performs vs. the S&P 500 index, is back to a two-plus year high.\nGeneral Motors Earnings And Sales Trends\nAfter a bumpy few years, thanks to a UAW strike, soft sales in China and Covid-19, General Motors earnings appeared to turn the corner in the second half of 2020, helped by sales strength and cost reductions.\nThen, in Q4, General Motors earnings per share cruised past estimates, surging to $1.93 vs. just 5 cents per share a year ago, helped by the launch of its full-size SUV. The year-ago period was marred by the UAW strike. GM's Q4 EPS would have been even better if not for a 59-cent hit due to a Takata airbag-inflator recall.\nSales remained on a roll in Q4. GM deliveries in the U.S. rose to 771,323, up 5% from a year ago. General Motors said it gained market share as the average transaction price rose to a record $41,886.\nMeanwhile, GM sales in China remained on the upswing for the second straight quarter, after a weak couple of years. General Motors and its Chinese joint-venture partners saw deliveries rise 14% to 954,325.\nGM said it expects to earn $4.50-$5.25 per share in 2021 vs. $4.90 in 2020. The chip shortage could cut operating profit by $2 billion in 2021.\nBrightdrop\nBrightdrop's first 500 EV600 delivery vehicles, which go 250 miles per charge, will go toFedEx(FDX). The global delivery giant also has tested Brightdrop's EP1 pallet electric pallet, designed to move up to 200 pounds in goods over short distances. FedEx said its drivers were able to handle 25% more packages per day in the first pilot.\nGM said it will invest $800 million to equip one of its factories in Canada for production of the EV600 by late 2021.\nGM said it sees a massive $850 billion market opportunity for parcel, food delivery and reverse logistics in the U.S. by 2025.\nThe timing of its commercial EV rollout looks even better followingPresident Joe Biden's executive order to replace the government's fleetof 645,000 vehicles with electric vehicles.\nSubsequently, Merchants Fleet announced an order for 12,600 EV600 vans.\nFord(F) will also have an electric version of its popular Transit van out in late 2021.Workhorse Group(WKHS) and Rivian are EV delivery van plays too.\nGM's 'Stable Of Unicorns'\nEven before the Brightdrop news, Morgan Stanley's Jonas had referred to GM as having a \"stable of unicorns.\"\nIn a Jan. 19 report, Jonas said that GM's EV business is worth $52 per share of GM stock, while its controlling stake in Cruise is worth $10.\nGM's Ultium EV battery also has become something of a business in its own right. In April, GM reached a deal withHonda Motor(HMC) to jointly develop two Honda EVs using GM's Ultium battery. Jonas figures the Ultium battery platform is worth $10 per share.\nGM's OnStar communications and security system, which has announced a move into the insurance business, and its Super Cruise driver assistance technology, offer opportunities to grow a monthly recurring revenue stream. Jonas valued GM's connected services at $16 per share.\nHe also attached per-share valuations to GM's China joint ventures ($5), the Corvette brand ($5) and GM Financial ($7).\nHe derived the 80 price target for GM stock by subtracting net debt, pension liability and a 20% sum-of-the-parts discount.\nJonas didn't specify any valuation for other ventures, including GM's Hydrotec fuel-cell business. The week after his report, GM announced a deal withNavistar(NAV) to supply fuel cells for long-haul trucks. Trucking firmJ.B. Hunt(JBHT) will be Navistar's first customer in a pilot program, with tests set to begin by end of 2022.\nThat followed GM's scaled-back deal to supply fuel cells toNikola(NKLA). However, prospects remain clouded by Nikola's reputational hit as its founder left the company amid allegations of being a huckster and worse.\nIn June, GM Defense unit won a $214-million contract — its first win — to build Infantry Squad Vehicles for the U.S. Army based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 midsize truck architecture.\nHummer EV Buzz\nGM unveiled the Hummer EV truck during the World Series, touting \"maneuverability and traction unlike anything GM has ever offered.\" The Hummer's CrabWalk mode, allowing it to move diagonally to get through tight off-road spots, quickly went viral.\nThe Hummer EV, which will take on the Tesla Cybertruck, is due out this fall. GM says the Hummer EV can reach 450 miles on a full charge and 60 miles per hour in three seconds. The Hummer also will take on upcoming electric trucks fromFord(F) andAmazon(AMZN)-backed Rivian.\nThe Rivian RT1 is expected to be released before the GM Hummer, but theTesla Cybertruck will likely not be out until 2022.\nPrices for the initial Hummer EV version start at $112,595. General Motors said all available reservations for the Hummer EV sold out within 10 minutes. GM reportedly received 10,000 preorders and is considering boosting production plans.\nGM plans cheaper Hummer EV versions in future years. AutoNews reported that GM may start production of the Hummer SUV in early 2023 with targeted annual output of 50,000 vehicles per year.\nGeneral Motors' Ultium Battery Future\nGM had a puzzle to solve: How could it compete broadly in the still relatively small EV market, en route to an all-electric future, without frittering away its financial strength? The answer came with the March 4 unveiling of its Ultium battery and flexible platform.\nThe Ultium stands apart for its ability to be stacked either vertically or horizontally in the battery pack, to optimize the layout of each vehicle. The biggest stack is said to have the power to reach 450 miles on a full charge. The platform can accommodate a wide range of trucks, SUVs and cars.\nThe first generation of GM's coming EV lineup \"will be profitable,\" the company said. Since then, GM has detailed a much more complete vision of its EV future.\nIn September, GM unveiled its strategy to produce electric drive systems that are designed in-house to deliver cost and performance benefits.

But despite the name, Tesla FSD is still a Level 2, hands-on system, while Cruise and Waymo are Level 4.\nIs GM Stock A Buy?\nThe technical picture for GM stock has improved dramatically. Its 89IBD Composite Ratingisn't far behind Tesla's 94 rating. IBD research shows that all-time stock winners often have a Composite Rating of at least 95 near the start of big runs.\nStill, fundamental metrics don't tell the full story.

Strong technical action, improving fundamentals and a brighter EV future all suggest General Motors stock is worth considering.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328414096,"gmtCreate":1615550096915,"gmtModify":1704784423538,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"BUYYY!!","listText":"BUYYY!!","text":"BUYYY!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328414096","repostId":"1199318380","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199318380","pubTimestamp":1615549470,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199318380?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 19:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Vs.

According to industry consultant Canalys, Alibaba has 40.9 percent of China's cloud infrastructure spend in Q3 2020. The next largest player, Huawei, has less than half that market share at 16.2 percent.

Worldwide, Alibaba Cloud has been steadily increasing its market share. It managed to leapfrog IBM (IBM) last year. On the other hand, while Amazon is the global cloud giant, Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG)(GOOGL) are fast challenging its dominant position.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72aad8215c073889854f44a4b77dfa70\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\"><span>Source: Synergy Research Group</span></p>\n<p>Alibaba is also the undisputed largest e-commerce player in the world's most populous nation. Although it may seem like online shopping is highly prevalent in China for a long time, retail e-commerce sales were only around one-third of the total retail sales in the country in 2019. The pandemic accelerated the shift from offline to online and bumped the percentage to 44.8 percent last year. eMarketer predicts that the share of online shopping will continue to grow steadily in the next few years to reach 58.1 percent in 2024.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4c5948d66c634211e32ca9e0fddbc95\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"593\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p>On the other hand, while Amazon is the e-commerce leader by far in the U.S., it is in a market where retail e-commerce sales are growing at a relative snail's pace. After a spectacular 2020, the retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. are estimated to grow at just 6.1 percent this year. In contrast, China's retail e-commerce sales are projected to grow more than three times faster at 21 percent, despite a base nearly thrice that of the U.S.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b81e6fcf086d0f5fb4ad468cd4756e74\" tg-width=\"588\" tg-height=\"590\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p>On a macro level and a longer-term consideration, Alibaba's home base is also in a sweet spot. According to a group of scholars from the prestigious Tsinghua University, the per capita GDP of China would more than triple by 2050, rising from USD18,291 to USD60,948 in 2050, almost double that of the world. This bodes well for the growth prospects of Alibaba Group. In the same period, the per capita GDP of the U.S. is projected to increase by a mere 52 percent, although that would still be higher than that of China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/094e348d10db48ae3b25731df4608c77\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"432\"><span>Source: 2050 China - Becoming a Great Modern Socialist Country</span></p>\n<p>Despite the brighter opportunities, Alibaba's market cap is less than half that of Amazon. Alibaba is also deemed to be undervalued based on valuation metrics as we will explore in the subsequent sections. Before that, I recognize there are fast-thinking readers who are wondering: what if Amazon could expand in China and enjoy the macro tailwinds as Alibaba is doing?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75001d2689cb56434e70f83515396c38\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"545\"></p>\n<p>Could Amazon excel in China?</p>\n<p>This is a very interesting topic to explore and deserves a separate article. Nevertheless, as this is relevant to the comparison, I hope to briefly outline the key points to get the discussion going.</p>\n<p>It is possible that American firms succeed in China. There are many examples such as Starbucks (SBUX), McDonald's (MCD), YUM! Brands (YUM), Nike (NKE), Microsoft, and Mettler Toledo (MTD), just to name a few. The most prominent brands in recent years doing well in China include Tesla (TSLA) and Lululemon (LULU).</p>\n<p>However, we also have many precedents of American firms failing to master the competitive landscape in China or were unwilling to comply with the local laws. Yahoo and eBay (EBAY) belong to the former while Alphabet's Google and Facebook (FB) are some examples of the latter.</p>\n<p>In terms of retail, the closest matches are Walmart (WMT) and Target Corporation (TGT). The two are striving in China, so wouldn't Amazon too? It's possible but I see several obstacles.</p>\n<p>Firstly, the management of those companies who do well in China tends to be effusive in their praises for the country and its government (e.g. Elon Musk). They also do not get involved in political commentary whether in China or anywhere else.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been long known to be active in doing his political \"talking\" with his checkbook. Don't believe me? Try Googling \"Jeff Bezos politics\" and see for yourself the search results. Would he be able to stay quiet as Amazon expands its presence in China while staying out of trouble?</p>\n<p>Secondly, many of the U.S. companies growing in China are consumer brands where a Chinese equivalent isn't just the same thing. Sure, the latter has a huge market as well, like how Li Ning (OTCPK:LNNGF)(OTCPK:LNNGY) can grow together with Nike and adidas (OTCQX:ADDDF)(OTCQX:ADDYY), whereas the failure of Luckin Coffee (OTCPK:LKNCY) showed how difficult it is to unseat Starbucks, the King of Coffee.</p>\n<p>Amazon, while it has several house brands, is essentially a platform and operates in the harsh internet sector. There is already ultra stiff competition among Chinese e-commerce and cloud players resulting in&nbsp;heavy losses to gain market share. The business climate is so challenging that there were recent&nbsp;reports of suicides&nbsp;stemming from Pinduoduo (PDD). If the domestic firms are already working to their necks, could Amazon with its American style of operation thrive or even survive in the tough environment?</p>\n<p>Jeff Bezos&nbsp;admitted&nbsp;as much about how Amazon failed in China in past interviews: \"We mostly tried to roll out what worked well for us in Japan, Germany, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, the U.S., etc., and it needed more local market customization.\"</p>\n<p>Chinese commentary also revealed that Amazon China's inept challenge to local rivals stemmed from the insistence of decision-making tightly controlled by the U.S. headquarters where the China team merely played the role of executioner. A flaw business strategy will be difficult to succeed however excellent the execution is. Things may have changed but there is nothing in recent news flow to suggest otherwise.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, e-commerce companies in China rely on a multitude of drivers to support the core online shopping business. There is the mobile payment (Alipay for Alibaba), massive logistics (Cainiao, among others, for Alibaba), livestreaming (Taobao Live for Alibaba), as well as affiliated businesses like travel booking site Fliggy and food delivery Ele.me to keep users within the ecosystem.</p>\n<p>How long would Amazon take to build that scale of ecosystem? How much money would that require? Is the company prepared to invest billions upon billions as the Chinese internet companies have done? Even if it's willing, there is no guarantee it can match the competition as the existing players continue to innovate.</p>\n<p>Thus, I found it improbable that Amazon could enjoy the same macro tailwinds as Alibaba, leaving the question of why the latter remains undervalued.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation comparison between Alibaba and Amazon stocks</b></p>\n<p>Seeking Alpha Premium users would know the platform provides a neat valuation tool for a convenient comparison of two or more stocks. I lay out a snapshot as follows, where the green shaded boxes indicate the preferred metric value.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/426f7dbdf950dbb15525ed9b3ecef15d\" tg-width=\"553\" tg-height=\"666\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha Premium data (March 9, 2021), tabulated by ALT Perspective</span></p>\n<p>At one glance, it's easy to see that BABA stock is attractive both on the key earnings metrics P/E and PEG ratios. It is also very cheap on the price-to-book ratio as compared to Amazon. In terms of liquidity metrics, Alibaba is also superior to Amazon. Of course, Amazon has its strengths too, winning on price-to-sales ratio and historical EBITDA growth, among others.</p>\n<p>As the stock market indices continue to register new record highs, echoes of the 2000 internet bubble bursting are ringing loudly. However, it bears noting that a cash crunch in many dot-com businesses was a key trigger in the meltdown. Today, internet companies like Alibaba and Amazon are cash-rich.</p>\n<p>Based on the last quarterly reports, both Alibaba and Amazon coincidentally have net cash of around $53 billion each. Given that Alibaba has a smaller enterprise value, that net cash is a larger part of Alibaba (8.8 percent) than it is for Amazon (3.3 percent).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7dde2a0163b4d9a643996deb42cccf5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"526\"></p>\n<p>At the same time, Alibaba has a higher free cash flow in the past two quarters than Amazon. If that becomes a trend, the market would come to recognize the money-generator Alibaba is and reward the company accordingly.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/770fe6851839c58261ac20e30df5f202\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"466\"></p>\n<p><b>Should you buy Alibaba or Amazon stock?</b></p>\n<p>Of course, having read this article until this point, you know my bias is towards Alibaba. However, I do recognize Amazon can provide capital appreciation to investors as well. It is just that comparing the two stocks as I did in the earlier sections, Alibaba seems more compelling to me at this point.</p>\n<p>Wall Street analysts seem to agree. The consensus price target for Alibaba is at $325, an upside of 44 percent. In contrast, Amazon has a lower, albeit still attractive, upside of 37 percent. What is your take?

According to a group of scholars from the prestigious Tsinghua University, the per capita GDP of China would more than triple by 2050, rising from USD18,291 to USD60,948 in 2050, almost double that of the world. This bodes well for the growth prospects of Alibaba Group. In the same period, the per capita GDP of the U.S. is projected to increase by a mere 52 percent, although that would still be higher than that of China.\nSource: 2050 China - Becoming a Great Modern Socialist Country\nDespite the brighter opportunities, Alibaba's market cap is less than half that of Amazon. Alibaba is also deemed to be undervalued based on valuation metrics as we will explore in the subsequent sections. Before that, I recognize there are fast-thinking readers who are wondering: what if Amazon could expand in China and enjoy the macro tailwinds as Alibaba is doing?\n\nCould Amazon excel in China?\nThis is a very interesting topic to explore and deserves a separate article. Nevertheless, as this is relevant to the comparison, I hope to briefly outline the key points to get the discussion going.\nIt is possible that American firms succeed in China. There are many examples such as Starbucks (SBUX), McDonald's (MCD), YUM! Brands (YUM), Nike (NKE), Microsoft, and Mettler Toledo (MTD), just to name a few. The most prominent brands in recent years doing well in China include Tesla (TSLA) and Lululemon (LULU).\nHowever, we also have many precedents of American firms failing to master the competitive landscape in China or were unwilling to comply with the local laws. Yahoo and eBay (EBAY) belong to the former while Alphabet's Google and Facebook (FB) are some examples of the latter.\nIn terms of retail, the closest matches are Walmart (WMT) and Target Corporation (TGT). The two are striving in China, so wouldn't Amazon too? It's possible but I see several obstacles.\nFirstly, the management of those companies who do well in China tends to be effusive in their praises for the country and its government (e.g. Elon Musk). They also do not get involved in political commentary whether in China or anywhere else.\nUnfortunately, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been long known to be active in doing his political \"talking\" with his checkbook. Don't believe me? Try Googling \"Jeff Bezos politics\" and see for yourself the search results. Would he be able to stay quiet as Amazon expands its presence in China while staying out of trouble?\nSecondly, many of the U.S. companies growing in China are consumer brands where a Chinese equivalent isn't just the same thing. Sure, the latter has a huge market as well, like how Li Ning (OTCPK:LNNGF)(OTCPK:LNNGY) can grow together with Nike and adidas (OTCQX:ADDDF)(OTCQX:ADDYY), whereas the failure of Luckin Coffee (OTCPK:LKNCY) showed how difficult it is to unseat Starbucks, the King of Coffee.\nAmazon, while it has several house brands, is essentially a platform and operates in the harsh internet sector. There is already ultra stiff competition among Chinese e-commerce and cloud players resulting in heavy losses to gain market share. The business climate is so challenging that there were recent reports of suicides stemming from Pinduoduo (PDD). If the domestic firms are already working to their necks, could Amazon with its American style of operation thrive or even survive in the tough environment?\nJeff Bezos admitted as much about how Amazon failed in China in past interviews: \"We mostly tried to roll out what worked well for us in Japan, Germany, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, the U.S., etc., and it needed more local market customization.\"\nChinese commentary also revealed that Amazon China's inept challenge to local rivals stemmed from the insistence of decision-making tightly controlled by the U.S. headquarters where the China team merely played the role of executioner. A flaw business strategy will be difficult to succeed however excellent the execution is. Things may have changed but there is nothing in recent news flow to suggest otherwise.\nThirdly, e-commerce companies in China rely on a multitude of drivers to support the core online shopping business. There is the mobile payment (Alipay for Alibaba), massive logistics (Cainiao, among others, for Alibaba), livestreaming (Taobao Live for Alibaba), as well as affiliated businesses like travel booking site Fliggy and food delivery Ele.me to keep users within the ecosystem.\nHow long would Amazon take to build that scale of ecosystem? How much money would that require? Is the company prepared to invest billions upon billions as the Chinese internet companies have done? Even if it's willing, there is no guarantee it can match the competition as the existing players continue to innovate.\nThus, I found it improbable that Amazon could enjoy the same macro tailwinds as Alibaba, leaving the question of why the latter remains undervalued.\nValuation comparison between Alibaba and Amazon stocks\nSeeking Alpha Premium users would know the platform provides a neat valuation tool for a convenient comparison of two or more stocks. I lay out a snapshot as follows, where the green shaded boxes indicate the preferred metric value.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium data (March 9, 2021), tabulated by ALT Perspective\nAt one glance, it's easy to see that BABA stock is attractive both on the key earnings metrics P/E and PEG ratios. It is also very cheap on the price-to-book ratio as compared to Amazon. In terms of liquidity metrics, Alibaba is also superior to Amazon. Of course, Amazon has its strengths too, winning on price-to-sales ratio and historical EBITDA growth, among others.\nAs the stock market indices continue to register new record highs, echoes of the 2000 internet bubble bursting are ringing loudly. However, it bears noting that a cash crunch in many dot-com businesses was a key trigger in the meltdown. Today, internet companies like Alibaba and Amazon are cash-rich.\nBased on the last quarterly reports, both Alibaba and Amazon coincidentally have net cash of around $53 billion each. Given that Alibaba has a smaller enterprise value, that net cash is a larger part of Alibaba (8.8 percent) than it is for Amazon (3.3 percent).\n\nAt the same time, Alibaba has a higher free cash flow in the past two quarters than Amazon. If that becomes a trend, the market would come to recognize the money-generator Alibaba is and reward the company accordingly.\n\nShould you buy Alibaba or Amazon stock?\nOf course, having read this article until this point, you know my bias is towards Alibaba. However, I do recognize Amazon can provide capital appreciation to investors as well. It is just that comparing the two stocks as I did in the earlier sections, Alibaba seems more compelling to me at this point.\nWall Street analysts seem to agree. The consensus price target for Alibaba is at $325, an upside of 44 percent. In contrast, Amazon has a lower, albeit still attractive, upside of 37 percent. What is your take?

Let's see if we can screen a Hollywood ending.</p>\n<p>I'm going to attempt what I haven't seen even the most ardent&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:AMC)&nbsp;bull do: make a viable long-term argument for owning a piece of the reeling multiplex operator. You don't see too many AMC shareholders realistically talking about the long-term fundamentals. I want to give it a shot.</p>\n<p>AMC bulls talk a good chart game. They point to technical analysis, short squeezes, and the mother of all gamma squeezes as catalysts for their enthusiasm. If they're feeling particularly inspired, they may even venture off into conspiracy theories about hedge funds and analysts working together to keep the longs down.</p>\n<p><b>It's always darkest before the plot twist</b></p>\n<p>The highest AMC stock-price target among the leading Wall Street firms is just $5.50. If you think that these analysts have more to gain by feeding your conspiracy theory narrative than by playing nice with AMC to earn the long tail of underwriting proceeds from the inevitable years of secondary stock and debt offerings, you might want to rethink who is playing on what team here.</p>\n<p>The speculative talk about hedgies and near-term price moves seems to dismiss the math. Short interest recently hit its lowest level in almost two years. We're well below the peak short interest set a whopping 14 months ago. Press an AMC long about fundamentals, and the bullish case lands somewhere between \"pent-up demand\" and consumers longing for an experience that can't be duplicated at home.</p>\n<p>Lost in the bullish talking points is that this isn't just a consumer-demand problem. There's a real supply issue at the other end of the COVID-19 tunnel. It's been an eternity since theaters shut down in mid-March of last year. Since the shutdown, we've seen several new streaming services launch -- including HBO Max, Peacock, and now Paramount+ -- and they're all owned by media giants with movie studios that are now prioritizing their direct-to-consumer platforms over theatrical distribution.</p>\n<p>The genie's out of the bottle. Waiting three months after a theatrical release is no longer on the menu for most Hollywood studios, and streaming consumption has only gone up -- not down -- in recent months as states relax their pandemic guidelines. A lifetime ago you would've only seen<i>Coming to America 2</i>,<i>Raya and the Last Dragon</i>, and<i>The SpongBob Movie: Sponge on the Run</i>at a multiplex near you. Instead you could've seen all three of those U.S. premieres from the comfort of your own bandwidth-blessed home.</p>\n<p><b>And now: your feature presentation</b></p>\n<p>By now, it may seem that this is just another burn piece on AMC. You were promised a bull argument, and it's just been a bullet-hole-riddling sport for bearish enjoyment. If you made it this far, let me deliver on what I promised.</p>\n<p>AMC is a survivor, and not just because it's been around for 101 years. When its largest rival,<b>Cineworld Group</b>'s Regal Cinemas, shut down its projectors in October, I suggested that AMC may be thehottest stock of 2021. The shares have nearly quadrupled this year, so that article's call is off to a pretty good start this young year.</p>\n<p>It's also true that I've been critical about AMC's prospects. I won't take back my concerns that consumers arechoosing to stay homeand that Hollywood studios havemore to feednow than just the cuckoo-chick nuisance that theater chains were when they used to rule the nest. The pre-2020 model won't work in the future, but it doesn't mean that AMC is toast.</p>\n<p>Let's start with the shake-out. Do you really think that Regal is coming back? AMC has stayed open to keep its brand alive and relevant. The industry isn't going to look kindly on the quitters, and with the long road back for the industry, a lot of chains will fade to black in more ways than one. AMC will be able to gobble up market share, even if it will be a shrinking pie. Analysts see at least three more years of red ink, and AMC has been raising money to be sure it makes it through this rough patch.</p>\n<p>AMC being the last multiplex operator standing isn't much of a bullish endorsement, but why are bears assuming that the industry itself won't evolve? There is no turning back to traditional theatrical-release windows for the media giants that create films, but why are we assuming that it will be the same product on the silver screen as it is at home? Just as some directors prefer to shoot extra scenes for releases on&nbsp;<b>IMAX</b>, why can't movie theaters offer a differentiated product that's enhanced for the cinematic experience? Ifmedia stockscan back their homegrown streaming service while also generating incremental revenue by giving fans of a new release a different spin on the big screen, why wouldn't they do that?</p>\n<p>AMC has made the most of the pandemic lull to beef up mobile ordering for concessions, offer assigned seating for screenings, and even create the option to rent out an entire theater on the cheap. If it can adapt to the future as well as it's trying in the present, do you really want to bet against an industry leader that has raised a ton of dough to make a 24-screen multiplex as flexible and malleable as possible?

Let's see if we can screen a Hollywood ending.\nI'm going to attempt what I haven't seen even the most ardent AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC) bull do: make a viable long-term argument for owning a piece of the reeling multiplex operator. You don't see too many AMC shareholders realistically talking about the long-term fundamentals. I want to give it a shot.\nAMC bulls talk a good chart game. They point to technical analysis, short squeezes, and the mother of all gamma squeezes as catalysts for their enthusiasm. If they're feeling particularly inspired, they may even venture off into conspiracy theories about hedge funds and analysts working together to keep the longs down.\nIt's always darkest before the plot twist\nThe highest AMC stock-price target among the leading Wall Street firms is just $5.50. If you think that these analysts have more to gain by feeding your conspiracy theory narrative than by playing nice with AMC to earn the long tail of underwriting proceeds from the inevitable years of secondary stock and debt offerings, you might want to rethink who is playing on what team here.\nThe speculative talk about hedgies and near-term price moves seems to dismiss the math. Short interest recently hit its lowest level in almost two years. We're well below the peak short interest set a whopping 14 months ago. Press an AMC long about fundamentals, and the bullish case lands somewhere between \"pent-up demand\" and consumers longing for an experience that can't be duplicated at home.\nLost in the bullish talking points is that this isn't just a consumer-demand problem. There's a real supply issue at the other end of the COVID-19 tunnel. It's been an eternity since theaters shut down in mid-March of last year. Since the shutdown, we've seen several new streaming services launch -- including HBO Max, Peacock, and now Paramount+ -- and they're all owned by media giants with movie studios that are now prioritizing their direct-to-consumer platforms over theatrical distribution.\nThe genie's out of the bottle. Waiting three months after a theatrical release is no longer on the menu for most Hollywood studios, and streaming consumption has only gone up -- not down -- in recent months as states relax their pandemic guidelines. A lifetime ago you would've only seenComing to America 2,Raya and the Last Dragon, andThe SpongBob Movie: Sponge on the Runat a multiplex near you. Instead you could've seen all three of those U.S. premieres from the comfort of your own bandwidth-blessed home.\nAnd now: your feature presentation\nBy now, it may seem that this is just another burn piece on AMC. You were promised a bull argument, and it's just been a bullet-hole-riddling sport for bearish enjoyment. If you made it this far, let me deliver on what I promised.\nAMC is a survivor, and not just because it's been around for 101 years. When its largest rival,Cineworld Group's Regal Cinemas, shut down its projectors in October, I suggested that AMC may be thehottest stock of 2021. The shares have nearly quadrupled this year, so that article's call is off to a pretty good start this young year.\nIt's also true that I've been critical about AMC's prospects. I won't take back my concerns that consumers arechoosing to stay homeand that Hollywood studios havemore to feednow than just the cuckoo-chick nuisance that theater chains were when they used to rule the nest. The pre-2020 model won't work in the future, but it doesn't mean that AMC is toast.\nLet's start with the shake-out. Do you really think that Regal is coming back? AMC has stayed open to keep its brand alive and relevant. The industry isn't going to look kindly on the quitters, and with the long road back for the industry, a lot of chains will fade to black in more ways than one. AMC will be able to gobble up market share, even if it will be a shrinking pie. Analysts see at least three more years of red ink, and AMC has been raising money to be sure it makes it through this rough patch.\nAMC being the last multiplex operator standing isn't much of a bullish endorsement, but why are bears assuming that the industry itself won't evolve? There is no turning back to traditional theatrical-release windows for the media giants that create films, but why are we assuming that it will be the same product on the silver screen as it is at home? Just as some directors prefer to shoot extra scenes for releases on IMAX, why can't movie theaters offer a differentiated product that's enhanced for the cinematic experience? Ifmedia stockscan back their homegrown streaming service while also generating incremental revenue by giving fans of a new release a different spin on the big screen, why wouldn't they do that?\nAMC has made the most of the pandemic lull to beef up mobile ordering for concessions, offer assigned seating for screenings, and even create the option to rent out an entire theater on the cheap. If it can adapt to the future as well as it's trying in the present, do you really want to bet against an industry leader that has raised a ton of dough to make a 24-screen multiplex as flexible and malleable as possible? What if the future of AMC is showing new releases on some of its larger screens but also catering to a fantasy football league on draft night, a rising improv troupe performing live in another, and a charity bingo game at the same time?\nThe country's largest multiplex operator has raised enough money to give it more time than most competitors. Time is optionality. Time is a chance to disrupt itself. Time is a future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":359,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367210154,"gmtCreate":1614953484278,"gmtModify":1704777392466,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It’s overrrr","listText":"It’s overrrr","text":"It’s overrrr","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367210154","repostId":"1123272188","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123272188","pubTimestamp":1614952601,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123272188?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-05 21:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow futures jump 200 points after stronger-than-expected jobs report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123272188","media":"cnbc","summary":" Stocks were set to rebound after a stronger-than-expected jobs report boosted optimism about a faster economic reopening.Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 215 points, or 0.7%.

Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.2%.Stocks that would benefit from a rapid economic comeback gained in the wake of the jobs report. Energy stocks like Occidental Petroleum gained more than 3%. Banks and many retailers jumped in the premarket.The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield popped above 1.6% after the February jobs report. The Labor Department on Fridayreportedthat nonfarm payrolls jumped by 379,000 for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 6.2%. That compared to expectations of 210,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate to hold steady from the 6.3% rate in January, according to Dow Jones.As rates jumped, tech shares with high valuations got hit again in the premarket, continuing the pattern this week. Tesla and Peloton shares fell declined.The move in futures followed a sharp sell-off on Thursday triggered by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks on rising bond yields. The Fed chair said the recent runup caught his attention but he didn’t give any indication of how the central bank would rein it in. Some investors had expected Powell to signal his willingness to adjust the Fed’s asset purchase program.The economic reopening could “create some upward pressure on prices,” Powell said in a Wall Street Journal webinar Thursday. Even if the economy sees “transitory increases in inflation … I expect that we will be patient,” he added.“Equity investors, in our conversations, are really grappling with two things they may not have had to deal with for the last 10 years,” said Tom Lee, Fundstrat’s co-founder head of research. “One is the potential for inflation to actually have to be priced into equities. I think there’s a lot of confusion.”“Then it’s a bond market that seems to be testing the Fed, which kind of scares people,” added Lee, who believes the sell-off this week is a buying opportunity.Tech stocks led the market decline Thursday, especially those with high valuations and small or no profitability. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1% Thursday, bringing its losses this week to 3.6%. The tech-heavy benchmark also turned negative for the year and fell into correction territory, or down 10% from a recent high, on an intraday basis.Tesla shares were off their lows in Friday premarket trading but still down 0.3%.The S&P 500 and the Dow both fell more than 1% Thursday, headed for a losing week. Energy outperformed with a 2.5% gain in the previous session amid a jump in oil prices.“Rates soared once again, which opened the door for more selling of technology stocks,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. “The bright side is the economy continues to improve and leadership from financials and energy is something that suggests this isn’t a sell everything moment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":521,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":364506621,"gmtCreate":1614861348063,"gmtModify":1704776155351,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla ftw","listText":"Tesla ftw","text":"Tesla ftw","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/364506621","repostId":"1104042346","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":558,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365403745,"gmtCreate":1614766233787,"gmtModify":1704774937377,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah man!!","listText":"Yeah man!!","text":"Yeah man!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/365403745","repostId":"1149727441","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149727441","pubTimestamp":1614765231,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1149727441?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-03 17:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"American manufacturing is roaring back","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149727441","media":"yahoo","summary":"Manufacturing activity surges to a three-year high\n\nThe U.S. economic recoverycontinues to be led by","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Manufacturing activity surges to a three-year high</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The U.S. economic recoverycontinues to be led by manufacturing.</p>\n<p>On Monday,IHS Markitand theInstitute for Supply Managementboth released manufacturing activity data for February, with these reports showing the sector growing at the fastest pace in several years.</p>\n<p>The ISM's manufacturing PMI registered a reading of 60.8, the highest reading in three years and the fastest since the pandemic recovery began. IHS Markit's reading came in at 58.6, the second-best reading for this index in the last 11 years; only January's reading was better. Readings over 50 for either index indicate expansion within the sector while readings below 50 indicate contraction.</p>\n<p>And while the headline reading for both reports result in slightly different historical superlatives, both readings say the same thing about the U.S. manufacturing sector right now — businesses simply cannot keep up with this recovery. And notable pressures exist in both the pricing and delivering of goods right now.</p>\n<p>The ISM's prices index surged to 86 last month, the highest level since June 2008, while the backlog of orders index hit its highest level in 17 years. The ISM's supplier deliveries index also hit 72, a reading topped only by a 76 back in April that served as a multi-decade high. IHS Markit's report indicated the longest increase for delivery wait times on record while input prices rose at the fastest rate since 2011.</p>\n<p>Taken together, these readings make clear that manufacturers in the U.S. broadly face higher costs while unfilled orders pile up and components to make finished products remain delayed.</p>\n<p>A set of circumstances that would suggest an inflationary environment is upon us while a robust recovery is ready to be fully unleashed if supply disruptions are able to abate.</p>\n<p>\"The manufacturing economy continued its recovery in February,\" said Tim Fiore, chair of the ISM's manufacturing business survey committee. \"Issues with absenteeism, short-term shutdowns to sanitize facilities, and difficulties in hiring workers remain challenges and continue to cause strains that limit manufacturing-growth potential.

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies&nbsp;and Spotify Technology&nbsp;in recent years.</p>\n<p>Here’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.</p>\n<p><b>What is Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>The Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.</p>\n<p>There are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.</p>\n<p>According to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.</p>\n<p>Coinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67e611f71f8557b80e1863da93d753c9\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"639\"><span>COINBASE S-1</span></p>\n<p>Bitcoin prices&nbsp;have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.</p>\n<p>Last week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether&nbsp;on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash&nbsp;and Litecoin,to name a few.</p>\n<p><b>Who else owns Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>Venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.</p>\n<p>Coinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets</p>\n<p>“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.</p>\n<p><b>Biggest risk factor</b></p>\n<p>No doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.</p>\n<p>But a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.</p>\n<p>Here’s now Coinbase explains it:</p>\n<p>“<i>There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected</i>,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.</p>\n<p><b>How large is Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>The crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/183f3996adecd36a47a1b191cf6d3ca6\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"453\"><span>COINMARKETCAP.COM</span></p>\n<p>In the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc.&nbsp;settlements to invest in bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Kraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.</p>\n<p><b>Odds &amp; Ends</b></p>\n<p>The company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.</p>\n<p>For example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).</p>\n<p>The company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely.

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies and Spotify Technology in recent years.\nHere’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.\nWhat is Coinbase?\nThe Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.\nThere are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368589451,"gmtCreate":1614337911173,"gmtModify":1704770860059,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I love Bitcoin!","listText":"I love Bitcoin!","text":"I love Bitcoin!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/368589451","repostId":"1181374212","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181374212","pubTimestamp":1614335737,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181374212?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 18:35","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Trading tax hike won’t harm competitiveness of Hong Kong’s stock market, says financial secretary","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181374212","media":"cnbc","summary":"Hong Kong’s plan to increase the stamp duty on stock trading will not harm the competitiveness of the city’s financial markets, Financial Secretary Paul Chan told CNBC on Friday.Chan said in his budget speech on Wednesday that the government will raise the stamp duty paid on listed stock trades from 0.1% to 0.13%.The move “will not harm our competitiveness and at the same time will bring additional revenue to the government at this juncture,” said Chan.Chan said in his budget speech on Wednesday","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nHong Kong’s plan to increase the stamp duty on stock trading will not harm the competitiveness of the city’s financial markets, Financial Secretary Paul Chan told CNBC on Friday.\nChan said...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/26/trading-tax-hike-wont-harm-hong-kongs-stock-market-financial-secretary.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That includes allowing listings of dual-class shares and attracting U.S.-listed Chinese companies to seek a secondary listing in Hong Kong, he said.\nHong Kong in 2020 was one of the top markets for listings globally as Chinese firms such as e-commerce giant JD.com and gaming company NetEase raised funds through secondary listings.\nIn total, the city’s stock exchange saw 132 initial public offerings worth $32.1 billion, and 199 further offerings worth $62.9 billion last year, according to data compiled by consultancy PwC.\nWith such “robust” capital markets activity, raising the trading stamp duty may offer Hong Kong “a quick solution” to increase its tax revenue in the short term, said Stanley Ho, a partner for corporate tax advisory at consultancy KPMG China.\n“However, it is also important for Hong Kong’s capital markets to stay competitive with global financial markets, many of which are trending towards reducing or removing such duties,” Ho said in a statement after Chan’s budget speech.\nChan said he remains confident of Hong Kong’s prospects as an international financial center.\nHe explained that the government is working on promoting Hong Kong as a center for sustainable and green finance, developing further the city’s fixed income markets and encouraging more activity in the asset and wealth management sectors.\nOn the stock market sell-off after his announcement of the trading tax hike, Chan said Hong Kong wasn’t the only one experiencing a “downward adjustment” following a previous run-up.\n“So, I would not be bothered by temporary fluctuations in the market. What we believe is we continue to work hard to enhance the offering of our market to further enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of the Hong Kong market,” he said.\n“We will continue to attract inflow of international capital.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":169,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368517579,"gmtCreate":1614337724791,"gmtModify":1704770856823,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ahh Bitcoin!!!","listText":"Ahh Bitcoin!!!","text":"Ahh Bitcoin!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/368517579","repostId":"1117820997","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117820997","pubTimestamp":1614337504,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117820997?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 19:05","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Coinbase IPO: 5 things to know about the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117820997","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading","content":"<p>A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading platform filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Coinbase&nbsp;plans to list on the Nasdaq Inc. exchange&nbsp;under the ticker symbol “COIN,” with the aim of employing a nontraditional direct listing to take itself public.

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies and Spotify Technology in recent years.\nHere’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.\nWhat is Coinbase?\nThe Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.\nThere are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles.

But the sell","content":"<p>High valuations, margin debt and the ARK effect could lead to more pain for some names. But the selloff could also create buying opportunities in other tech companies.</p>\n<p>While many speculative Robinhood favorites are down sharply over the last couple of weeks, they're still often well above where they traded two or three months ago, and arguably remain&nbsp;quite overvalued on the whole.</p>\n<p>For example, while fuel cell plays Plug Power (PLUG) , FuelCell Energy (FCEL) and Ballard Power&nbsp; (BLDP) are now down 40%, 44% and 32%, respectively, from recently-set highs, they're still 67%, 92% and 33% from where they closed three months ago. And they each still sport forward sales multiples north of 40.</p>\n<p>Likewise, 3D printing plays 3D Systems (DDD) , Stratasys&nbsp; (SSYS) and ExOne&nbsp; (XONE) remain up 357%, 147% and 215%, respectively, over the last three months. EV plays QuantumScape&nbsp; (QS) and Luminar Technologies (LAZR) &nbsp;are up 150% and 123%,&nbsp;respectively, over the last three months and still sport sky-high valuations -- QuantumScape, which doesn't expect to see its solid-state battery enter production until 2024, is still worth $20 billion. And soon-to-merge cannabis plays Tilray (TLRY) and Aphria (APHA) are up 252% and 171%,&nbsp;respectively, and maintain double-digit forward sales multiples.</p>\n<p>In a nutshell, valuations are still generally stretched for some companies, and some investors still have large paper profits that they could turn into real profits if the current selling unnerves them. In addition, judging bythe spike seenin margin debt balances over the last few months, many newer investors in these companies could be forced to unload their positions due to margin calls if the selling continues.</p>\n<p>Also, asothers&nbsp;have pointed out, ARK Invest's trading activity could go from being a tailwind for various high-multiple tech stocks to a headwind. In recent months, giant retail investor inflows for the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) and other ARK funds have contributed to the&nbsp;huge rallies seen in various clean energy, 3D printing, software/cloud and biotech names that ARK has been partial to. Conversely, though, major outflows for ARK funds could make the selling pressure in such names during a selloff stronger than it otherwise would be.</p>\n<p>With all that said,I'm not sold at this point&nbsp;on the current selloff being the start of a bear market for tech stocks overall.</p>\n<p>In spite of the speculative frenzy in some corners of tech, quite a few quality tech names remain moderately-valued or just a little expensive right now. And between vaccine rollouts, elevated household savings levels and the likely arrival of additional stimulus in March, the macro backdrop still looks favorable, though it's possible that some stay-at-home plays see demand cool off a bit in the coming months.</p>\n<p><i>Eventually</i>, inflation, higher bond yields and a tightening Fed could become a problem for tech stocks in general.

But the selloff could also create buying opportunities in other tech companies.\nWhile many speculative Robinhood favorites are down sharply over the last couple of weeks, they're still often well above where they traded two or three months ago, and arguably remain quite overvalued on the whole.\nFor example, while fuel cell plays Plug Power (PLUG) , FuelCell Energy (FCEL) and Ballard Power  (BLDP) are now down 40%, 44% and 32%, respectively, from recently-set highs, they're still 67%, 92% and 33% from where they closed three months ago. And they each still sport forward sales multiples north of 40.\nLikewise, 3D printing plays 3D Systems (DDD) , Stratasys  (SSYS) and ExOne  (XONE) remain up 357%, 147% and 215%, respectively, over the last three months. EV plays QuantumScape  (QS) and Luminar Technologies (LAZR)  are up 150% and 123%, respectively, over the last three months and still sport sky-high valuations -- QuantumScape, which doesn't expect to see its solid-state battery enter production until 2024, is still worth $20 billion. And soon-to-merge cannabis plays Tilray (TLRY) and Aphria (APHA) are up 252% and 171%, respectively, and maintain double-digit forward sales multiples.\nIn a nutshell, valuations are still generally stretched for some companies, and some investors still have large paper profits that they could turn into real profits if the current selling unnerves them. In addition, judging bythe spike seenin margin debt balances over the last few months, many newer investors in these companies could be forced to unload their positions due to margin calls if the selling continues.\nAlso, asothers have pointed out, ARK Invest's trading activity could go from being a tailwind for various high-multiple tech stocks to a headwind. In recent months, giant retail investor inflows for the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) and other ARK funds have contributed to the huge rallies seen in various clean energy, 3D printing, software/cloud and biotech names that ARK has been partial to. Conversely, though, major outflows for ARK funds could make the selling pressure in such names during a selloff stronger than it otherwise would be.\nWith all that said,I'm not sold at this point on the current selloff being the start of a bear market for tech stocks overall.\nIn spite of the speculative frenzy in some corners of tech, quite a few quality tech names remain moderately-valued or just a little expensive right now. And between vaccine rollouts, elevated household savings levels and the likely arrival of additional stimulus in March, the macro backdrop still looks favorable, though it's possible that some stay-at-home plays see demand cool off a bit in the coming months.\nEventually, inflation, higher bond yields and a tightening Fed could become a problem for tech stocks in general. But we still appear to be a ways away from reaching that point, and for now, the Fed remains as accommodative as ever.\nAs a result, if the current tech rout continues and leads both very expensive and not-so-expensive companies to see more selling pressure, the risk/reward could start looking very good for some of the more reasonably-priced names.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":279,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":363033035,"gmtCreate":1614081302427,"gmtModify":1704887819465,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3571693844578184","idStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm weird move from Tesla!","listText":"Hmm weird move from Tesla!","text":"Hmm weird move from Tesla!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/363033035","repostId":"1178144401","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178144401","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1614077941,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178144401?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-23 18:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Tesla Took Off Standard Range Model Y From Its Offerings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178144401","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Tesla Inc. is still offering the Model Y Standard Range, but only as an “off-the-menu” item, CEO Elo","content":"<p><b>Tesla Inc.</b>&nbsp;is still offering the Model Y Standard Range, but only as an “off-the-menu” item, CEO Elon Musk said Monday.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened</b>: The electric vehicle maker made the move apparently due to the sport utility vehicle’s low range.</p>\n<p>“It is still available off menu, but I don’t think the range, in many drive conditions, yet meets the Tesla standard of excellence,” Musk said on Twitter.</p>\n<p><b>Why It Matters:</b>As part of efforts to make some of its vehicles more affordable, Tesla had&nbsp;slashed the price of the base models&nbsp;of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles last week.

Despite being significantly overvalued by traditional valuation metrics, XPeng along with other EV manufacturers have experienced a surge in deliveries in recent quarters and as a result, there's a high chance that they'll continue to trade at high premiums in the foreseeable future. For that reason, we decided to buy XPeng shares ahead of its earnings in early March and plan to hold our position in the company as long as the overall industry momentum holds.</p>\n<p><b>Preparing for an All-Electric Future</b></p>\n<p>XPeng is a Chinese-based EV manufacturer that's headquartered in Guangzhou. The company was founded in 2014, currently, it has ~3700 employees, and it went public in the second half of 2020. With backing from Alibaba (BABA) and other major banks in China, XPeng along with its competitors NIO (NIO), BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) (OTCPK:BYDDY), and Li Auto (LI) are some of the hottest names in the electric vehicle business in the region. As a result, its stock has significantly appreciated in late 2020 and currently, it outperforms S&amp;P 500 Index on a 1-year chart.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb417ed0810d95ddc7f6926e77957237\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\"><span>Chart: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>XPeng's first car is an SUV called G3, the production of which began in 2018. The car in its basic package could drive around 300 kilometers on one battery charge, while a higher package has a greater battery capacity and could drive more than 400 kilometers on a single charge. The price of G3 varies on the package and in China its price starts at ~$21000 and goes all the way up to ~$29000. XPeng's second car is a sedan called P7 that was released last year and which is a direct competitor ofTesla's(TSLA) Model 3. P7's price in China varies from ~$33000 to ~$50000, and in January, the carreceiveda major over-the-air upgrade that added new features such as autonomous driving assistance and an updated operating system.</p>\n<p>In early March, XPeng will release its Q4 and FY20 earnings results, so for now we have to deep dive into the company'sQ3results to find out what's going on with the business. In Q3, XPeng significantly increased its revenues by 342.5% Y/Y to $293.1 million. Revenues from the vehicle sales were $279.6 million, while revenues from services were $13.6 million. At the same time, the company's non-GAAP EPS was -$0.32, while its net loss stood at $169.2 million. Despite the loss, XPeng increased the number of its supercharging stations to 135 and managed to increase its deliveries during the period by 265.8% Y/Y to 8,578 units.</p>\n<p>In addition, one of the biggest advantages of XPeng is that it doesn't have an overleveraged balance sheet since at the end of Q3 ithad$2.65 billion in cash reserves and only $347 million in total debt. Also, the company's financials have been improving in recent quarters and at the end of Q3, its gross margin was 4.6% against -2.7% a year ago, while its vehicle margin was 3.2% against -10.8% a year ago. Thanks to such an improvement, the street analysts have upgraded their outlook on the company, and its currentconsensusprice target is $57.95, above the current market price.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the biggest downside of XPeng is that it'sprojectedto generate less than $1 billion in revenues in 2020 and around $2 billion in revenues in 2021, yet its stock trades at a market cap of ~$35 billion. Since it's hard to justify the current valuation, it's safe to say that we're in the middle of an EV bubble, as other EV manufacturers are also significantly overvalued and worth more than traditional automotive behemoths that produce millions of cars every year. As a result, if XPeng experiences a decline in deliveries at any given time, then there's a risk that the street will lose faith in its ability to drive growth and as a result, its stock will tumble. The good thing is that that hasn't happened yet and there's no reason to be concerned about it at this stage.</p>\n<p>The reality is that XPeng is in its growth phase, so the market doesn't really care that the company is not going to be profitable anytime soon or that it trades at a significant premium. As long as XPeng continues to increase its deliveries and expand capacity, then it has all the chances to appreciate in the same way that Tesla appreciated in recent years. Currently, the goal of XPeng is to continue to expand and it plans to release two additional electric vehicles in the next two years. In addition, it plans to finish its second factory in Guangzhou in late 2022, which will help it to increase its annualcapacityfrom 100,000 cars to ~250,000. Since the demand for EVs is only going toincrease, XPeng's growth story will continue and the momentum is unlikely to fade away anytime soon.</p>\n<p>The downside of XPeng is that in FY20 itdelivered27,041 cars, while its competitors NIO and Li Auto delivered 43,728 and 32,624 cars, respectively. However, we shouldn't forget that XPeng's flagship sedan P7 went into production only in the summer of 2020 and that the company experienced a bump in deliveries only late in the year. In Q4 its deliveries increased by 303% Y/Y to 12,964 units, while in December alone deliveries increased by 326% Y/Y. In addition, considering that in January alone XPeng alreadydelivered6,015 cars, which represents an increase of 470% Y/Y, there's every reason to believe that the company will catch up to its competitors in 2021, and thanks to its strategic market positioning it has all the chances to deliver more cars than the rest this year.</p>\n<p>Considering that the full earnings results for Q4 and FY20 will be released in early March, there's every reason to believe that the EV momentum will not disappear and XPeng will be able to appreciate in the near-term despite the overvaluation thanks to the growth of its deliveries. Therefore, despite all the risks, we decided to purchase the company's stock and plan to hold it for a while, since shorting any EV name at this stage is too risky due to the growth of investments in the electric vehicle field.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>XPeng: Meet The Chinese Competitor Of Tesla</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\">\nXPeng: Meet The Chinese Competitor Of Tesla\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-22 11:58 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4407110-xpeng-meet-chinese-competitor-of-tesla><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nXPeng is one of the major electric vehicle manufacturers in China that has the potential to create substantial shareholder value in the near-term.\nXPeng, along with other EV manufacturers, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4407110-xpeng-meet-chinese-competitor-of-tesla\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4407110-xpeng-meet-chinese-competitor-of-tesla","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1174514335","content_text":"Summary\n\nXPeng is one of the major electric vehicle manufacturers in China that has the potential to create substantial shareholder value in the near-term.\nXPeng, along with other EV manufacturers, has experienced a surge in deliveries and as a result, there’s a high chance that they’ll continue to trade at high premiums.\nWe decided to buy XPeng shares ahead of its earnings in early March and plan to hold our position in the company as long as the overall industry momentum holds.\n\nXPeng (XPEV) is one of the major electric vehicle manufacturers in China that has the potential to create substantial shareholder value in the near-term. Despite being significantly overvalued by traditional valuation metrics, XPeng along with other EV manufacturers have experienced a surge in deliveries in recent quarters and as a result, there's a high chance that they'll continue to trade at high premiums in the foreseeable future. For that reason, we decided to buy XPeng shares ahead of its earnings in early March and plan to hold our position in the company as long as the overall industry momentum holds.\nPreparing for an All-Electric Future\nXPeng is a Chinese-based EV manufacturer that's headquartered in Guangzhou. The company was founded in 2014, currently, it has ~3700 employees, and it went public in the second half of 2020. With backing from Alibaba (BABA) and other major banks in China, XPeng along with its competitors NIO (NIO), BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) (OTCPK:BYDDY), and Li Auto (LI) are some of the hottest names in the electric vehicle business in the region. As a result, its stock has significantly appreciated in late 2020 and currently, it outperforms S&P 500 Index on a 1-year chart.\nChart: Seeking Alpha\nXPeng's first car is an SUV called G3, the production of which began in 2018. The car in its basic package could drive around 300 kilometers on one battery charge, while a higher package has a greater battery capacity and could drive more than 400 kilometers on a single charge. The price of G3 varies on the package and in China its price starts at ~$21000 and goes all the way up to ~$29000. XPeng's second car is a sedan called P7 that was released last year and which is a direct competitor ofTesla's(TSLA) Model 3. P7's price in China varies from ~$33000 to ~$50000, and in January, the carreceiveda major over-the-air upgrade that added new features such as autonomous driving assistance and an updated operating system.\nIn early March, XPeng will release its Q4 and FY20 earnings results, so for now we have to deep dive into the company'sQ3results to find out what's going on with the business. In Q3, XPeng significantly increased its revenues by 342.5% Y/Y to $293.1 million. Revenues from the vehicle sales were $279.6 million, while revenues from services were $13.6 million. At the same time, the company's non-GAAP EPS was -$0.32, while its net loss stood at $169.2 million. Despite the loss, XPeng increased the number of its supercharging stations to 135 and managed to increase its deliveries during the period by 265.8% Y/Y to 8,578 units.\nIn addition, one of the biggest advantages of XPeng is that it doesn't have an overleveraged balance sheet since at the end of Q3 ithad$2.65 billion in cash reserves and only $347 million in total debt. Also, the company's financials have been improving in recent quarters and at the end of Q3, its gross margin was 4.6% against -2.7% a year ago, while its vehicle margin was 3.2% against -10.8% a year ago. Thanks to such an improvement, the street analysts have upgraded their outlook on the company, and its currentconsensusprice target is $57.95, above the current market price.\nNevertheless, the biggest downside of XPeng is that it'sprojectedto generate less than $1 billion in revenues in 2020 and around $2 billion in revenues in 2021, yet its stock trades at a market cap of ~$35 billion. Since it's hard to justify the current valuation, it's safe to say that we're in the middle of an EV bubble, as other EV manufacturers are also significantly overvalued and worth more than traditional automotive behemoths that produce millions of cars every year. As a result, if XPeng experiences a decline in deliveries at any given time, then there's a risk that the street will lose faith in its ability to drive growth and as a result, its stock will tumble. The good thing is that that hasn't happened yet and there's no reason to be concerned about it at this stage.\nThe reality is that XPeng is in its growth phase, so the market doesn't really care that the company is not going to be profitable anytime soon or that it trades at a significant premium. As long as XPeng continues to increase its deliveries and expand capacity, then it has all the chances to appreciate in the same way that Tesla appreciated in recent years. Currently, the goal of XPeng is to continue to expand and it plans to release two additional electric vehicles in the next two years. In addition, it plans to finish its second factory in Guangzhou in late 2022, which will help it to increase its annualcapacityfrom 100,000 cars to ~250,000. Since the demand for EVs is only going toincrease, XPeng's growth story will continue and the momentum is unlikely to fade away anytime soon.\nThe downside of XPeng is that in FY20 itdelivered27,041 cars, while its competitors NIO and Li Auto delivered 43,728 and 32,624 cars, respectively. However, we shouldn't forget that XPeng's flagship sedan P7 went into production only in the summer of 2020 and that the company experienced a bump in deliveries only late in the year. In Q4 its deliveries increased by 303% Y/Y to 12,964 units, while in December alone deliveries increased by 326% Y/Y. In addition, considering that in January alone XPeng alreadydelivered6,015 cars, which represents an increase of 470% Y/Y, there's every reason to believe that the company will catch up to its competitors in 2021, and thanks to its strategic market positioning it has all the chances to deliver more cars than the rest this year.\nConsidering that the full earnings results for Q4 and FY20 will be released in early March, there's every reason to believe that the EV momentum will not disappear and XPeng will be able to appreciate in the near-term despite the overvaluation thanks to the growth of its deliveries. Therefore, despite all the risks, we decided to purchase the company's stock and plan to hold it for a while, since shorting any EV name at this stage is too risky due to the growth of investments in the electric vehicle field.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"content":"I think nio is more stable!","text":"I think nio is more stable!","html":"I think nio is more stable!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":364506621,"gmtCreate":1614861348063,"gmtModify":1704776155351,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla ftw","listText":"Tesla ftw","text":"Tesla ftw","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/364506621","repostId":"1104042346","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":558,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366861276,"gmtCreate":1614435953795,"gmtModify":1704771802946,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bitcoin ftwwww!!!","listText":"Bitcoin ftwwww!!!","text":"Bitcoin ftwwww!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366861276","repostId":"1117820997","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117820997","pubTimestamp":1614337504,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117820997?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 19:05","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Coinbase IPO: 5 things to know about the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117820997","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading","content":"<p>A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading platform filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Coinbase&nbsp;plans to list on the Nasdaq Inc. exchange&nbsp;under the ticker symbol “COIN,” with the aim of employing a nontraditional direct listing to take itself public.

Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321972840,"gmtCreate":1615391250680,"gmtModify":1704782194427,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Moooon","listText":"Moooon","text":"Moooon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321972840","repostId":"2118154672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2118154672","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com

Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.2%.Stocks that would benefit from a rapid economic comeback gained in the wake of the jobs report. Energy stocks like Occidental Petroleum gained more than 3%. Banks and many retailers jumped in the premarket.The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield popped above 1.6% after the February jobs report. The Labor Department on Fridayreportedthat nonfarm payrolls jumped by 379,000 for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 6.2%. That compared to expectations of 210,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate to hold steady from the 6.3% rate in January, according to Dow Jones.As rates jumped, tech shares with high valuations got hit again in the premarket, continuing the pattern this week. Tesla and Peloton shares fell declined.The move in futures followed a sharp sell-off on Thursday triggered by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks on rising bond yields. The Fed chair said the recent runup caught his attention but he didn’t give any indication of how the central bank would rein it in. Some investors had expected Powell to signal his willingness to adjust the Fed’s asset purchase program.The economic reopening could “create some upward pressure on prices,” Powell said in a Wall Street Journal webinar Thursday. Even if the economy sees “transitory increases in inflation … I expect that we will be patient,” he added.“Equity investors, in our conversations, are really grappling with two things they may not have had to deal with for the last 10 years,” said Tom Lee, Fundstrat’s co-founder head of research. “One is the potential for inflation to actually have to be priced into equities. I think there’s a lot of confusion.”“Then it’s a bond market that seems to be testing the Fed, which kind of scares people,” added Lee, who believes the sell-off this week is a buying opportunity.Tech stocks led the market decline Thursday, especially those with high valuations and small or no profitability. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1% Thursday, bringing its losses this week to 3.6%. The tech-heavy benchmark also turned negative for the year and fell into correction territory, or down 10% from a recent high, on an intraday basis.Tesla shares were off their lows in Friday premarket trading but still down 0.3%.The S&P 500 and the Dow both fell more than 1% Thursday, headed for a losing week. Energy outperformed with a 2.5% gain in the previous session amid a jump in oil prices.“Rates soared once again, which opened the door for more selling of technology stocks,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. “The bright side is the economy continues to improve and leadership from financials and energy is something that suggests this isn’t a sell everything moment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":521,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362183850,"gmtCreate":1614607553070,"gmtModify":1704772983365,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good buy!

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies&nbsp;and Spotify Technology&nbsp;in recent years.</p>\n<p>Here’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.</p>\n<p><b>What is Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>The Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.</p>\n<p>There are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.</p>\n<p>According to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.</p>\n<p>Coinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67e611f71f8557b80e1863da93d753c9\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"639\"><span>COINBASE S-1</span></p>\n<p>Bitcoin prices&nbsp;have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.</p>\n<p>Last week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether&nbsp;on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash&nbsp;and Litecoin,to name a few.</p>\n<p><b>Who else owns Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>Venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.</p>\n<p>Coinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets</p>\n<p>“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.</p>\n<p><b>Biggest risk factor</b></p>\n<p>No doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.</p>\n<p>But a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.</p>\n<p>Here’s now Coinbase explains it:</p>\n<p>“<i>There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected</i>,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.</p>\n<p><b>How large is Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>The crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/183f3996adecd36a47a1b191cf6d3ca6\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"453\"><span>COINMARKETCAP.COM</span></p>\n<p>In the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc.&nbsp;settlements to invest in bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Kraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.</p>\n<p><b>Odds &amp; Ends</b></p>\n<p>The company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.</p>\n<p>For example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).</p>\n<p>The company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely.

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies and Spotify Technology in recent years.\nHere’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.\nWhat is Coinbase?\nThe Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.\nThere are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387897984,"gmtCreate":1613734014748,"gmtModify":1704884306685,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like my comment!!

The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p><b>Robo investing as a self-driving car</b></p>\n<p>Consumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.</p>\n<p>So what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.</p>\n<p>You put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.</p>\n<p>Robo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.</p>\n<p>There are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.</p>\n<p>And rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.</p>\n<p>Cynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.</p>\n<p>As she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”</p>\n<p><b>Robos appeal to inexperienced investors</b></p>\n<p>Robo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.</p>\n<p>That makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.</p>\n<p>“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”</p>\n<p>That said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”</p>\n<p>Others disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.</p>\n<p>“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.</p>\n<p><b>There is often no door to knock on</b></p>\n<p>Your robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.</p>\n<p>It won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.</p>\n<p>“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.</p>\n<p>Not all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.</p>\n<p>Additionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.</p>\n<p>For instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses. Traditional advisers often specialize in constructing portfolios that lead to the most tax-efficient outcomes, said Ma, who is the author of “Work Your Money, Not Your Life”.</p>\n<p>But with robo investing, the trades that are made for you are the same ones that are being made for a slew of other investors who may fall under a different tax-bracket than you.</p>\n<p>On top of that, while robo investing may feel like a simplistic way to get into investing, especially for beginners it can “overcomplicate investing,” Ma said.</p>\n<p>“If you are just looking to dip your toe in and you want to feel like you’re invested in a diversified portfolio, I wouldn’t say definitely don’t do a robo adviser,” he said.</p>\n<p>Don’t rule out investing through a target-date fund that selects a single fund to invest in and adjusts the position over time based on their investment goals, he added.</p>\n<p>But not everyone can tell the difference between robo advice and advice from a human being. In 2015, MarketWatch asked four prominent robo advisers and four of the traditional, flesh-and-blood variety to construct portfolios for a hypothetical 35-year-old investor with $40,000 to invest.</p>\n<p>The results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Goldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?</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\">\nGoldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-19 19:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page><strong>Marketwatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161529893","content_text":"‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become increasingly ubiquitous on practically every brokerage platform.

Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.\nRobo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.\nThere are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.\nAnd rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.\nCynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.\nAs she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”\nRobos appeal to inexperienced investors\nRobo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.\nThat makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.\n“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”\nThat said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”\nOthers disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.\n“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.\nThere is often no door to knock on\nYour robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.\nIt won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.\n“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.\nNot all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.\nAdditionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.\nFor instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses. Traditional advisers often specialize in constructing portfolios that lead to the most tax-efficient outcomes, said Ma, who is the author of “Work Your Money, Not Your Life”.\nBut with robo investing, the trades that are made for you are the same ones that are being made for a slew of other investors who may fall under a different tax-bracket than you.\nOn top of that, while robo investing may feel like a simplistic way to get into investing, especially for beginners it can “overcomplicate investing,” Ma said.\n“If you are just looking to dip your toe in and you want to feel like you’re invested in a diversified portfolio, I wouldn’t say definitely don’t do a robo adviser,” he said.\nDon’t rule out investing through a target-date fund that selects a single fund to invest in and adjusts the position over time based on their investment goals, he added.\nBut not everyone can tell the difference between robo advice and advice from a human being. In 2015, MarketWatch asked four prominent robo advisers and four of the traditional, flesh-and-blood variety to construct portfolios for a hypothetical 35-year-old investor with $40,000 to invest.\nThe results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322500956,"gmtCreate":1615814710675,"gmtModify":1704786918653,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Love!!","listText":"Love!!","text":"Love!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322500956","repostId":"1192178550","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192178550","pubTimestamp":1615814052,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192178550?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-15 21:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is GM Stock A Buy?

So is now a good time to buy GM stock?</p>\n<p><b>GM Stock Priced Like An Underdog</b></p>\n<p>GM says it's headed for the front of the EV pack, yet it still appears priced like an underdog.</p>\n<p>As of March 9, GM stock had a market cap of $85billion compared to $666 billion for<b>Tesla</b>(TSLA), despite having roughly 3.5 times Tesla's sales in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>Yet the bulk of those GM sales are for internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles. That business could be headed for the scrap heap by 2035, GM announced on Jan. 18.</p>\n<p>That blockbuster news prompted Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas to cut his discounted value for GM's ICE business to zero. Yet Wall Street analysts continue to gain confidence in its EV, self-driving and fuel-cell future, and that's the key to driving shareholder value. Jonas simultaneously hiked his price target for GM stock to 80 from 57 based on the increasing value of General Motors' other parts.</p>\n<p>GM's transition isn't without risk. As GM funds itself mainly through ICE profits, pure-play EV automakers, including Tesla and a host of Chinese rivals havebuilt up huge EV war chests by issuing stock. Meanwhile,<b>Toyota</b>(TM) and EV battery startup<b>QuantumScape</b>(QS) have highlighted their separate progress toward a solid-state EV battery that has potential to offer faster charging, longer distance and greater safety.</p>\n<p><b>Apple</b>(AAPL), with far greater resources, also is working toward its own EV battery breakthrough and could reportedly produce an electric, autonomous vehicle in 2024.</p>\n<p>It's hard to know where GM stands in the EV hierarchy, because such big technology breakthroughs may not be ready for the production line until mid-decade or later. Meanwhile, GM also has made some head-turning claims about itsnext-generation lithium-metal EV battery.</p>\n<p><b>EV Transition</b></p>\n<p>On Nov. 19, GM mapped out its road to launching 30 EV models globally by 2025, while topping its prior goal of 1 million EV sales and achieving big EV battery cost-reductions and efficiency gains.</p>\n<p>GM's accelerated transformation will see it invest $7 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles this year and $27 billion by 2025. That could include asecond EV battery factorybuilt with partner LG Chem, which may be announced in coming months.</p>\n<p>Barra said GM will realize $2 billion in cost efficiencies from shared engineering, manufacturing, marketing and corporate cost by maintaining an integrated strategy. That quieted Wall Street analysts who had been pushing for GM to spin off its EV business to better compete with Tesla.</p>\n<p>Barra also said that GM's flexible Ultium EV architecture has helped cut vehicle development time by nearly 50%. She said the launch of the Cadillac Lyriq SUV had been moved up about nine months from the date initially announced.GM will speed up the launch timing of 12 EV models, some by as much as 40 months.</p>\n<p>\"We're committed to fighting for EV market share until we are number one in North America, achieving margins similar to or higher than our ICE business and exceeding our previous target of selling 1 million vehicles globally by mid-decade,\" Barra said.</p>\n<p><b>GM Stock Chart Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p>GM stock soared in October and November on the Hummer EV launch and stepped-up EV factory and production plans.</p>\n<p>Shares subsequently pulled back on its&nbsp;dramatically scaled-back deal with Nikola. Yet GM stock twice found support at its 10-week and 50-day line. IBDSwingTradertook advantage of an early entry point, establishing a position as GM stock cleared its Dec. 23 intraday high that came on the first bounce above its 50-day line.</p>\n<p>On Jan. 12, as GM surprised Wall Street by revealing the existence of Brightdrop, its EV commercial delivery vehicle and logistics startup, GM stock broke through a more traditional 46.81buy point, 10 cents above its Nov. 24 high. General Motors stock jumped 6.2% to close at 47.81, breaking above the October 2017 all-time high of 46.76.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, momentum continued amid news on Jan. 19 that<b>Microsoft</b>(MSFT) had joined a new investment round in GM's&nbsp;Cruise autonomous vehicle unit.</p>\n<p>GM stock subsequently hit a new high of 57.05 on Feb. 8, overcoming its first report that a chip shortage would sideline some production.</p>\n<p>While GM stock pulled back on earnings and amid broader stock market volatility, it found support at its 50-day moving average.</p>\n<p>On March 12, GM stock surged to 59.25, clearing 57.15 buy point, 10 cents above the Feb. 8 high. Although the base is on the short side, GM stock has been consolidating since it touched an interim high of 56.97 on Jan. 21.</p>\n<p>However, GM stock is 13% above its 10-week line, so it looks a little extended from that perspective. That makes it more likely that shares could test their buy point.</p>\n<p>As of March 12, GM stock sported an 86Relative Strength Rating, meaning it has outperformed 86% of all stocks over the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>Therelative strength line, which shows how GM stock performs vs. the S&amp;P 500 index, is back to a two-plus year high.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06cb85c04a0f9a37a5b1d34c02be7448\" tg-width=\"809\" tg-height=\"411\"><b>General Motors Earnings And Sales Trends</b></p>\n<p>After a bumpy few years, thanks to a UAW strike, soft sales in China and Covid-19, General Motors earnings appeared to turn the corner in the second half of 2020, helped by sales strength and cost reductions.</p>\n<p>Then, in Q4, General Motors earnings per share cruised past estimates, surging to $1.93 vs. just 5 cents per share a year ago, helped by the launch of its full-size SUV. The year-ago period was marred by the UAW strike. GM's Q4 EPS would have been even better if not for a 59-cent hit due to a Takata airbag-inflator recall.</p>\n<p>Sales remained on a roll in Q4. GM deliveries in the U.S. rose to 771,323, up 5% from a year ago. General Motors said it gained market share as the average transaction price rose to a record $41,886.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, GM sales in China remained on the upswing for the second straight quarter, after a weak couple of years. General Motors and its Chinese joint-venture partners saw deliveries rise 14% to 954,325.</p>\n<p>GM said it expects to earn $4.50-$5.25 per share in 2021 vs. $4.90 in 2020. The chip shortage could cut operating profit by $2 billion in 2021.</p>\n<p><b>Brightdrop</b></p>\n<p>Brightdrop's first 500 EV600 delivery vehicles, which go 250 miles per charge, will go to<b>FedEx</b>(FDX). The global delivery giant also has tested Brightdrop's EP1 pallet electric pallet, designed to move up to 200 pounds in goods over short distances. FedEx said its drivers were able to handle 25% more packages per day in the first pilot.</p>\n<p>GM said it will invest $800 million to equip one of its factories in Canada for production of the EV600 by late 2021.</p>\n<p>GM said it sees a massive $850 billion market opportunity for parcel, food delivery and reverse logistics in the U.S. by 2025.</p>\n<p>The timing of its commercial EV rollout looks even better followingPresident Joe Biden's executive order to replace the government's fleetof 645,000 vehicles with electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Subsequently, Merchants Fleet announced an order for 12,600 EV600 vans.</p>\n<p><b>Ford</b>(F) will also have an electric version of its popular Transit van out in late 2021.<b>Workhorse Group</b>(WKHS) and Rivian are EV delivery van plays too.</p>\n<p><b>GM's 'Stable Of Unicorns'</b></p>\n<p>Even before the Brightdrop news, Morgan Stanley's Jonas had referred to GM as having a \"stable of unicorns.\"</p>\n<p>In a Jan. 19 report, Jonas said that GM's EV business is worth $52 per share of GM stock, while its controlling stake in Cruise is worth $10.</p>\n<p>GM's Ultium EV battery also has become something of a business in its own right. In April, GM reached a deal with<b>Honda Motor</b>(HMC) to jointly develop two Honda EVs using GM's Ultium battery. Jonas figures the Ultium battery platform is worth $10 per share.</p>\n<p>GM's OnStar communications and security system, which has announced a move into the insurance business, and its Super Cruise driver assistance technology, offer opportunities to grow a monthly recurring revenue stream. Jonas valued GM's connected services at $16 per share.</p>\n<p>He also attached per-share valuations to GM's China joint ventures ($5), the Corvette brand ($5) and GM Financial ($7).</p>\n<p>He derived the 80 price target for GM stock by subtracting net debt, pension liability and a 20% sum-of-the-parts discount.</p>\n<p>Jonas didn't specify any valuation for other ventures, including GM's Hydrotec fuel-cell business. The week after his report, GM announced a deal with<b>Navistar</b>(NAV) to supply fuel cells for long-haul trucks. Trucking firm<b>J.B. Hunt</b>(JBHT) will be Navistar's first customer in a pilot program, with tests set to begin by end of 2022.</p>\n<p>That followed GM's scaled-back deal to supply fuel cells to<b>Nikola</b>(NKLA). However, prospects remain clouded by Nikola's reputational hit as its founder left the company amid allegations of being a huckster and worse.</p>\n<p>In June, GM Defense unit won a $214-million contract — its first win — to build Infantry Squad Vehicles for the U.S. Army based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 midsize truck architecture.</p>\n<p><b>Hummer EV Buzz</b></p>\n<p>GM unveiled the Hummer EV truck during the World Series, touting \"maneuverability and traction unlike anything GM has ever offered.\" The Hummer's CrabWalk mode, allowing it to move diagonally to get through tight off-road spots, quickly went viral.</p>\n<p>The Hummer EV, which will take on the Tesla Cybertruck, is due out this fall. GM says the Hummer EV can reach 450 miles on a full charge and 60 miles per hour in three seconds. The Hummer also will take on upcoming electric trucks from<b>Ford</b>(F) and<b>Amazon</b>(AMZN)-backed Rivian.</p>\n<p>The Rivian RT1 is expected to be released before the GM Hummer, but theTesla Cybertruck will likely not be out until 2022.</p>\n<p>Prices for the initial Hummer EV version start at $112,595. General Motors said all available reservations for the Hummer EV sold out within 10 minutes. GM reportedly received 10,000 preorders and is considering boosting production plans.</p>\n<p>GM plans cheaper Hummer EV versions in future years. AutoNews reported that GM may start production of the Hummer SUV in early 2023 with targeted annual output of 50,000 vehicles per year.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors' Ultium Battery Future</b></p>\n<p>GM had a puzzle to solve: How could it compete broadly in the still relatively small EV market, en route to an all-electric future, without frittering away its financial strength? The answer came with the March 4 unveiling of its Ultium battery and flexible platform.</p>\n<p>The Ultium stands apart for its ability to be stacked either vertically or horizontally in the battery pack, to optimize the layout of each vehicle. The biggest stack is said to have the power to reach 450 miles on a full charge. The platform can accommodate a wide range of trucks, SUVs and cars.</p>\n<p>The first generation of GM's coming EV lineup \"will be profitable,\" the company said.&nbsp;Since then, GM has detailed a much more complete vision of its EV future.</p>\n<p>In September, GM unveiled its strategy to produce electric drive systems that are designed in-house to deliver cost and performance benefits. The five drive units and three motors will offer the power and versatility to work with the full range of some 20 different EVs it plans to produce by 2023.</p>\n<p>Ultium Drive systems will be more responsive than current models, using \"precision torque control\" for smooth performance, GM said. The Honda deal created a partnership model that GM hopes will entice other rivals. Barra said that supplying GM technology to rival automakers would build \"scale to lower battery and fuel cell costs and increase profitability.\"</p>\n<p>Now GM is highlighting progress in testing its next-generation Ultium battery chemistry. \"We believe we are on the battery-cost frontier today and we intend to set the pace for the future,\" said GM product development chief Doug Parks.</p>\n<p><b>GM Cruise Vs. Tesla And Alphabet Waymo</b></p>\n<p>On Jan. 19, GM announced a partnership with Microsoft to accelerate the commercialization of self-driving vehicles. Microsoft joined in a $2-billion funding round for Cruise, along with GM, Honda and institutional investors.</p>\n<p>The investment gave Cruise an implied $30 billion valuation, up from $19 billion in May 2019. GM's stake is now worth $19 billion, up from $11.9 billion, JP Morgan analyst Ryan Brinkman figures.</p>\n<p>In November, Cruise began testing five driverless cars in parts of San Francisco. Initial results appear positive. On Feb. 9, Cruise President Kyle Vogt tweeted that Cruise covered 200,000 miles in California in Q4 without a safety driver once disengaging self-driving features.</p>\n<p>Cruise's commercial launch is \"not years away,\" Barra assured on the Q4 earnings call.</p>\n<p>On Nov. 10,<b>Walmart</b>(WMT) announced a pilot test with Cruise in Scottsdale, Ariz., allowing contactless customer deliveries.</p>\n<p>In January 2020, GM unveiled its six-passenger Cruise Origin EV with no steering wheel.</p>\n<p>Apple,<b>Alphabet</b>(GOOGL)-unit Waymo,&nbsp;<b>Uber</b>(UBER),<b>Ford</b>(F) and Tesla are among a large field of well-funded competitors in the autonomous-vehicle market.</p>\n<p>GM bought Cruise Automation for $1.1 billion in 2016. In 2018, Honda agreed to put up $2 billion more over 12 years.</p>\n<p>Tesla, meanwhile, has released a new Full Self Driving beta version to select drivers. But despite the name, Tesla FSD is still a Level 2, hands-on system, while Cruise and Waymo are Level 4.</p>\n<p><b>Is GM Stock A Buy?</b></p>\n<p>The technical picture for GM stock has improved dramatically. Its 89IBD Composite Ratingisn't far behind Tesla's 94 rating. IBD research shows that all-time stock winners often have a Composite Rating of at least 95 near the start of big runs.</p>\n<p>Still, fundamental metrics don't tell the full story. The Covid hit to earnings, a restructuring and strike are all in the rearview mirror. The chip shortage curtailing production should clear up later in 2021, but GM's traditional business faces a long-term decline. The biggest unknown is how well GM will be able to keep pace with Tesla, which aims to drive down the price of its EVs to $25,000 in three years, and others on the cutting edge of EV battery development — including Apple.</p>\n<p>Investors should be aware that GM stock is a hybrid play, depending on profits from gas-burning SUVs today to pave the way to an EV future. Undoubtedly, there is lots of execution risk and uncertainty, but GM appears to be executing quite well, and Wall Street sees plenty of promise developing. If analysts see GM as a \"stable of unicorns\" with high-growth potential, they could begin to use a more flattering lens for valuing future earnings.</p>\n<p><b>Bottom line:</b>GM stock is in a buy zone, though it is also significantly above its 10-week line. Strong technical action, improving fundamentals and a brighter EV future all suggest General Motors stock is worth considering.</p>","source":"lsy1610449120050","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>Is GM Stock A Buy?

Jonas simultaneously hiked his price target for GM stock to 80 from 57 based on the increasing value of General Motors' other parts.\nGM's transition isn't without risk. As GM funds itself mainly through ICE profits, pure-play EV automakers, including Tesla and a host of Chinese rivals havebuilt up huge EV war chests by issuing stock. Meanwhile,Toyota(TM) and EV battery startupQuantumScape(QS) have highlighted their separate progress toward a solid-state EV battery that has potential to offer faster charging, longer distance and greater safety.\nApple(AAPL), with far greater resources, also is working toward its own EV battery breakthrough and could reportedly produce an electric, autonomous vehicle in 2024.\nIt's hard to know where GM stands in the EV hierarchy, because such big technology breakthroughs may not be ready for the production line until mid-decade or later. Meanwhile, GM also has made some head-turning claims about itsnext-generation lithium-metal EV battery.\nEV Transition\nOn Nov. 19, GM mapped out its road to launching 30 EV models globally by 2025, while topping its prior goal of 1 million EV sales and achieving big EV battery cost-reductions and efficiency gains.\nGM's accelerated transformation will see it invest $7 billion in electric and autonomous vehicles this year and $27 billion by 2025. That could include asecond EV battery factorybuilt with partner LG Chem, which may be announced in coming months.\nBarra said GM will realize $2 billion in cost efficiencies from shared engineering, manufacturing, marketing and corporate cost by maintaining an integrated strategy. That quieted Wall Street analysts who had been pushing for GM to spin off its EV business to better compete with Tesla.\nBarra also said that GM's flexible Ultium EV architecture has helped cut vehicle development time by nearly 50%. She said the launch of the Cadillac Lyriq SUV had been moved up about nine months from the date initially announced.GM will speed up the launch timing of 12 EV models, some by as much as 40 months.\n\"We're committed to fighting for EV market share until we are number one in North America, achieving margins similar to or higher than our ICE business and exceeding our previous target of selling 1 million vehicles globally by mid-decade,\" Barra said.\nGM Stock Chart Technical Analysis\nGM stock soared in October and November on the Hummer EV launch and stepped-up EV factory and production plans.\nShares subsequently pulled back on its dramatically scaled-back deal with Nikola. Yet GM stock twice found support at its 10-week and 50-day line. IBDSwingTradertook advantage of an early entry point, establishing a position as GM stock cleared its Dec. 23 intraday high that came on the first bounce above its 50-day line.\nOn Jan. 12, as GM surprised Wall Street by revealing the existence of Brightdrop, its EV commercial delivery vehicle and logistics startup, GM stock broke through a more traditional 46.81buy point, 10 cents above its Nov. 24 high. General Motors stock jumped 6.2% to close at 47.81, breaking above the October 2017 all-time high of 46.76.\nMeanwhile, momentum continued amid news on Jan. 19 thatMicrosoft(MSFT) had joined a new investment round in GM's Cruise autonomous vehicle unit.\nGM stock subsequently hit a new high of 57.05 on Feb. 8, overcoming its first report that a chip shortage would sideline some production.\nWhile GM stock pulled back on earnings and amid broader stock market volatility, it found support at its 50-day moving average.\nOn March 12, GM stock surged to 59.25, clearing 57.15 buy point, 10 cents above the Feb. 8 high. Although the base is on the short side, GM stock has been consolidating since it touched an interim high of 56.97 on Jan. 21.\nHowever, GM stock is 13% above its 10-week line, so it looks a little extended from that perspective. That makes it more likely that shares could test their buy point.\nAs of March 12, GM stock sported an 86Relative Strength Rating, meaning it has outperformed 86% of all stocks over the past 12 months.\nTherelative strength line, which shows how GM stock performs vs. the S&P 500 index, is back to a two-plus year high.\nGeneral Motors Earnings And Sales Trends\nAfter a bumpy few years, thanks to a UAW strike, soft sales in China and Covid-19, General Motors earnings appeared to turn the corner in the second half of 2020, helped by sales strength and cost reductions.\nThen, in Q4, General Motors earnings per share cruised past estimates, surging to $1.93 vs. just 5 cents per share a year ago, helped by the launch of its full-size SUV. The year-ago period was marred by the UAW strike. GM's Q4 EPS would have been even better if not for a 59-cent hit due to a Takata airbag-inflator recall.\nSales remained on a roll in Q4. GM deliveries in the U.S. rose to 771,323, up 5% from a year ago. General Motors said it gained market share as the average transaction price rose to a record $41,886.\nMeanwhile, GM sales in China remained on the upswing for the second straight quarter, after a weak couple of years. General Motors and its Chinese joint-venture partners saw deliveries rise 14% to 954,325.\nGM said it expects to earn $4.50-$5.25 per share in 2021 vs. $4.90 in 2020. The chip shortage could cut operating profit by $2 billion in 2021.\nBrightdrop\nBrightdrop's first 500 EV600 delivery vehicles, which go 250 miles per charge, will go toFedEx(FDX). The global delivery giant also has tested Brightdrop's EP1 pallet electric pallet, designed to move up to 200 pounds in goods over short distances. FedEx said its drivers were able to handle 25% more packages per day in the first pilot.\nGM said it will invest $800 million to equip one of its factories in Canada for production of the EV600 by late 2021.\nGM said it sees a massive $850 billion market opportunity for parcel, food delivery and reverse logistics in the U.S. by 2025.\nThe timing of its commercial EV rollout looks even better followingPresident Joe Biden's executive order to replace the government's fleetof 645,000 vehicles with electric vehicles.\nSubsequently, Merchants Fleet announced an order for 12,600 EV600 vans.\nFord(F) will also have an electric version of its popular Transit van out in late 2021.Workhorse Group(WKHS) and Rivian are EV delivery van plays too.\nGM's 'Stable Of Unicorns'\nEven before the Brightdrop news, Morgan Stanley's Jonas had referred to GM as having a \"stable of unicorns.\"\nIn a Jan. 19 report, Jonas said that GM's EV business is worth $52 per share of GM stock, while its controlling stake in Cruise is worth $10.\nGM's Ultium EV battery also has become something of a business in its own right. In April, GM reached a deal withHonda Motor(HMC) to jointly develop two Honda EVs using GM's Ultium battery. Jonas figures the Ultium battery platform is worth $10 per share.\nGM's OnStar communications and security system, which has announced a move into the insurance business, and its Super Cruise driver assistance technology, offer opportunities to grow a monthly recurring revenue stream. Jonas valued GM's connected services at $16 per share.\nHe also attached per-share valuations to GM's China joint ventures ($5), the Corvette brand ($5) and GM Financial ($7).\nHe derived the 80 price target for GM stock by subtracting net debt, pension liability and a 20% sum-of-the-parts discount.\nJonas didn't specify any valuation for other ventures, including GM's Hydrotec fuel-cell business. The week after his report, GM announced a deal withNavistar(NAV) to supply fuel cells for long-haul trucks. Trucking firmJ.B. Hunt(JBHT) will be Navistar's first customer in a pilot program, with tests set to begin by end of 2022.\nThat followed GM's scaled-back deal to supply fuel cells toNikola(NKLA). However, prospects remain clouded by Nikola's reputational hit as its founder left the company amid allegations of being a huckster and worse.\nIn June, GM Defense unit won a $214-million contract — its first win — to build Infantry Squad Vehicles for the U.S. Army based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 midsize truck architecture.\nHummer EV Buzz\nGM unveiled the Hummer EV truck during the World Series, touting \"maneuverability and traction unlike anything GM has ever offered.\" The Hummer's CrabWalk mode, allowing it to move diagonally to get through tight off-road spots, quickly went viral.\nThe Hummer EV, which will take on the Tesla Cybertruck, is due out this fall. GM says the Hummer EV can reach 450 miles on a full charge and 60 miles per hour in three seconds. The Hummer also will take on upcoming electric trucks fromFord(F) andAmazon(AMZN)-backed Rivian.\nThe Rivian RT1 is expected to be released before the GM Hummer, but theTesla Cybertruck will likely not be out until 2022.\nPrices for the initial Hummer EV version start at $112,595. General Motors said all available reservations for the Hummer EV sold out within 10 minutes. GM reportedly received 10,000 preorders and is considering boosting production plans.\nGM plans cheaper Hummer EV versions in future years. AutoNews reported that GM may start production of the Hummer SUV in early 2023 with targeted annual output of 50,000 vehicles per year.\nGeneral Motors' Ultium Battery Future\nGM had a puzzle to solve: How could it compete broadly in the still relatively small EV market, en route to an all-electric future, without frittering away its financial strength? The answer came with the March 4 unveiling of its Ultium battery and flexible platform.\nThe Ultium stands apart for its ability to be stacked either vertically or horizontally in the battery pack, to optimize the layout of each vehicle. The biggest stack is said to have the power to reach 450 miles on a full charge. The platform can accommodate a wide range of trucks, SUVs and cars.\nThe first generation of GM's coming EV lineup \"will be profitable,\" the company said. Since then, GM has detailed a much more complete vision of its EV future.\nIn September, GM unveiled its strategy to produce electric drive systems that are designed in-house to deliver cost and performance benefits. The five drive units and three motors will offer the power and versatility to work with the full range of some 20 different EVs it plans to produce by 2023.\nUltium Drive systems will be more responsive than current models, using \"precision torque control\" for smooth performance, GM said. The Honda deal created a partnership model that GM hopes will entice other rivals. Barra said that supplying GM technology to rival automakers would build \"scale to lower battery and fuel cell costs and increase profitability.\"\nNow GM is highlighting progress in testing its next-generation Ultium battery chemistry. \"We believe we are on the battery-cost frontier today and we intend to set the pace for the future,\" said GM product development chief Doug Parks.\nGM Cruise Vs. Tesla And Alphabet Waymo\nOn Jan. 19, GM announced a partnership with Microsoft to accelerate the commercialization of self-driving vehicles. Microsoft joined in a $2-billion funding round for Cruise, along with GM, Honda and institutional investors.\nThe investment gave Cruise an implied $30 billion valuation, up from $19 billion in May 2019. GM's stake is now worth $19 billion, up from $11.9 billion, JP Morgan analyst Ryan Brinkman figures.\nIn November, Cruise began testing five driverless cars in parts of San Francisco. Initial results appear positive. On Feb. 9, Cruise President Kyle Vogt tweeted that Cruise covered 200,000 miles in California in Q4 without a safety driver once disengaging self-driving features.\nCruise's commercial launch is \"not years away,\" Barra assured on the Q4 earnings call.\nOn Nov. 10,Walmart(WMT) announced a pilot test with Cruise in Scottsdale, Ariz., allowing contactless customer deliveries.\nIn January 2020, GM unveiled its six-passenger Cruise Origin EV with no steering wheel.\nApple,Alphabet(GOOGL)-unit Waymo, Uber(UBER),Ford(F) and Tesla are among a large field of well-funded competitors in the autonomous-vehicle market.\nGM bought Cruise Automation for $1.1 billion in 2016. In 2018, Honda agreed to put up $2 billion more over 12 years.\nTesla, meanwhile, has released a new Full Self Driving beta version to select drivers. But despite the name, Tesla FSD is still a Level 2, hands-on system, while Cruise and Waymo are Level 4.\nIs GM Stock A Buy?\nThe technical picture for GM stock has improved dramatically. Its 89IBD Composite Ratingisn't far behind Tesla's 94 rating. IBD research shows that all-time stock winners often have a Composite Rating of at least 95 near the start of big runs.\nStill, fundamental metrics don't tell the full story. The Covid hit to earnings, a restructuring and strike are all in the rearview mirror. The chip shortage curtailing production should clear up later in 2021, but GM's traditional business faces a long-term decline. The biggest unknown is how well GM will be able to keep pace with Tesla, which aims to drive down the price of its EVs to $25,000 in three years, and others on the cutting edge of EV battery development — including Apple.\nInvestors should be aware that GM stock is a hybrid play, depending on profits from gas-burning SUVs today to pave the way to an EV future. Undoubtedly, there is lots of execution risk and uncertainty, but GM appears to be executing quite well, and Wall Street sees plenty of promise developing. If analysts see GM as a \"stable of unicorns\" with high-growth potential, they could begin to use a more flattering lens for valuing future earnings.\nBottom line:GM stock is in a buy zone, though it is also significantly above its 10-week line. Strong technical action, improving fundamentals and a brighter EV future all suggest General Motors stock is worth considering.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365403745,"gmtCreate":1614766233787,"gmtModify":1704774937377,"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah man!!","listText":"Yeah man!!","text":"Yeah man!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/365403745","repostId":"1149727441","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149727441","pubTimestamp":1614765231,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1149727441?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-03 17:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"American manufacturing is roaring back","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149727441","media":"yahoo","summary":"Manufacturing activity surges to a three-year high\n\nThe U.S. economic recoverycontinues to be led by","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Manufacturing activity surges to a three-year high</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The U.S. economic recoverycontinues to be led by manufacturing.</p>\n<p>On Monday,IHS Markitand theInstitute for Supply Managementboth released manufacturing activity data for February, with these reports showing the sector growing at the fastest pace in several years.</p>\n<p>The ISM's manufacturing PMI registered a reading of 60.8, the highest reading in three years and the fastest since the pandemic recovery began.

The two e-commerce and cloud titans have compelling investment drivers. However, I argue in this article that Alibaba is the better buy right now. That said, readers are, of course, free to make your judgment based on the facts laid out here and elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Alibaba and Amazon's business moats and threats: Why deciding to hold Alibaba stock is so different from deciding to hold Amazon stock?</p>\n<p>Alibaba Group Holding and Amazon.com, Inc. have much in common. They started in e-commerce, became the leading player in the industry in their home country, and then branched out to other related businesses, notably the cloud computing service.</p>\n<p>Amazon's moat in e-commerce has been enhanced by its Amazon Prime membership. Paid users consolidate their purchases on its platform to \"recoup\" the fees and maximize the member benefits. This in turn helps Amazon to increase its economy of scale and optimize its infrastructure. The savings made are then passed on to users partially or in full to further entice them to stay within the ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Alibaba Group began at a time when paying a regular membership fee for bundled services and/or grocery delivery was an alien concept. Paying for a Netflix (NFLX) subscription or more appropriately, an iQIYI (IQ) subscription would be unthinkable in the 2000s when video piracy was rife. However, Alibaba found it could create a moat around its e-commerce business in another way.</p>\n<p>Alibaba realized the Chinese consumers were reluctant to shop online because of rampant fraud and quality issues in the early days. It solved the problem with the creation of Alipay, now operated by Ant Group, where Alibaba Group has a 33 percent equity stake. Alipay served as an online escrow system - sellers only get paid when the shoppers did not flag any discrepancies.</p>\n<p>Alipay has since evolved to provide a multitude of services, including the payment of offline purchases of any items where the seller has a functional QR code, as well as a quick checkout process for everyday routines like online food delivery and ride-hailing. The convenience it provides led users to be \"sticky\". A series of financial products and services are also developed to leverage this advantage.</p>\n<p>All well and good. Investors love businesses with moats. Both Amazon and Alibaba have strong ones. However, the duo is threatened by government actions.</p>\n<p>Since November last year, Alibaba has been in the news mostly for the wrong reasons. Co-founder Jack Ma berated the regulators and days after, the&nbsp;IPO of Ant Group was suspended. The authorities stepped up on&nbsp;antitrust investigations, impacting both Ant Group and the e-commerce operations of Alibaba, spooking market players. Speculators also kept themselves busy with&nbsp;conspiracy theories&nbsp;as Jack Ma went \"missing\".</p>\n<p>In the final days of the Trump administration, BABA stock was also under pressure by talks of an outright investment ban, as if&nbsp;The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act&nbsp;wasn't damaging enough. Nevertheless, looking at the swoon the share price was subjected to in the final two months of 2020, perhaps most of the disgruntled shareholders have already sold out of the stock, leaving \"diamond hands\" holding BABA, in Reddit-speak.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8fa027998f78e5fc2bc309eeec5daa3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"230\"><span>Source: Alibaba Group</span></p>\n<p>That would explain the more than 16 percent gain BABA stock achieved year-to-date prior to the correction plaguing technology and internet stocks in the past weeks. In contrast, AMZN was largely flat in the same period and is down 6.1 percent YTD even as BABA manages to be up 2.3 percent.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4564327bd423c5bfa1f12c0adc39895e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"447\"></p>\n<p>Critics may cry foul that I missed out on the mention of its VIE structure. However, readers would agree with me that the issue has been repeated ad nauseam that I doubt the risk has yet to be priced in the shares.</p>\n<p>On the contrary, the looming government scrutiny on U.S. tech companies including Amazon seems to be neglected by the market. For instance, President Joseph Biden decided to assign Tim Wu, a leader in the progressive movement to break up Big Tech, to the National Economic Council. Wu's signature warning is \"The antitrust winter is over.\"</p>\n<p>Reports are now circulating that President Biden has planned to nominate Lina Khan, a legal scholar who has argued for tougher antitrust enforcement against big tech companies, to the Federal Trade Commission. With Amazon's size and market reach, it is bound to be within the crosshairs of the regulators. It is telling that Khan wrote in 2017 a Yale Law Journal article titled \"Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox,\" the failure of the antitrust law in the current form in addressing the scope of Amazon's market power.</p>\n<p>The shareholders of Alibaba would need to think if the risks are already priced into the stock while the shareholders of Amazon would need to face the prospect of the company tackling a harsher regulatory environment.</p>\n<p><b>Business opportunities for Alibaba and Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba Group is the leading cloud provider in China by far. According to industry consultant Canalys, Alibaba has 40.9 percent of China's cloud infrastructure spend in Q3 2020. The next largest player, Huawei, has less than half that market share at 16.2 percent. Tencent follows closely at 15.8 percent.</p>\n<p>Alibaba's large market share puts it in good stead to ride the growth in China's cloud computing market that is&nbsp;forecasted&nbsp;to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2 percent to reach US$63.7 billion in 2024. Worldwide, Alibaba Cloud has been steadily increasing its market share. It managed to leapfrog IBM (IBM) last year. On the other hand, while Amazon is the global cloud giant, Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG)(GOOGL) are fast challenging its dominant position.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72aad8215c073889854f44a4b77dfa70\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\"><span>Source: Synergy Research Group</span></p>\n<p>Alibaba is also the undisputed largest e-commerce player in the world's most populous nation. Although it may seem like online shopping is highly prevalent in China for a long time, retail e-commerce sales were only around one-third of the total retail sales in the country in 2019. The pandemic accelerated the shift from offline to online and bumped the percentage to 44.8 percent last year. eMarketer predicts that the share of online shopping will continue to grow steadily in the next few years to reach 58.1 percent in 2024.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4c5948d66c634211e32ca9e0fddbc95\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"593\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p>On the other hand, while Amazon is the e-commerce leader by far in the U.S., it is in a market where retail e-commerce sales are growing at a relative snail's pace. After a spectacular 2020, the retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. are estimated to grow at just 6.1 percent this year. In contrast, China's retail e-commerce sales are projected to grow more than three times faster at 21 percent, despite a base nearly thrice that of the U.S.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b81e6fcf086d0f5fb4ad468cd4756e74\" tg-width=\"588\" tg-height=\"590\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p>On a macro level and a longer-term consideration, Alibaba's home base is also in a sweet spot. According to a group of scholars from the prestigious Tsinghua University, the per capita GDP of China would more than triple by 2050, rising from USD18,291 to USD60,948 in 2050, almost double that of the world. This bodes well for the growth prospects of Alibaba Group. In the same period, the per capita GDP of the U.S. is projected to increase by a mere 52 percent, although that would still be higher than that of China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/094e348d10db48ae3b25731df4608c77\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"432\"><span>Source: 2050 China - Becoming a Great Modern Socialist Country</span></p>\n<p>Despite the brighter opportunities, Alibaba's market cap is less than half that of Amazon. Alibaba is also deemed to be undervalued based on valuation metrics as we will explore in the subsequent sections. Before that, I recognize there are fast-thinking readers who are wondering: what if Amazon could expand in China and enjoy the macro tailwinds as Alibaba is doing?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75001d2689cb56434e70f83515396c38\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"545\"></p>\n<p>Could Amazon excel in China?</p>\n<p>This is a very interesting topic to explore and deserves a separate article. Nevertheless, as this is relevant to the comparison, I hope to briefly outline the key points to get the discussion going.</p>\n<p>It is possible that American firms succeed in China. There are many examples such as Starbucks (SBUX), McDonald's (MCD), YUM! Brands (YUM), Nike (NKE), Microsoft, and Mettler Toledo (MTD), just to name a few. The most prominent brands in recent years doing well in China include Tesla (TSLA) and Lululemon (LULU).</p>\n<p>However, we also have many precedents of American firms failing to master the competitive landscape in China or were unwilling to comply with the local laws. Yahoo and eBay (EBAY) belong to the former while Alphabet's Google and Facebook (FB) are some examples of the latter.</p>\n<p>In terms of retail, the closest matches are Walmart (WMT) and Target Corporation (TGT). The two are striving in China, so wouldn't Amazon too? It's possible but I see several obstacles.</p>\n<p>Firstly, the management of those companies who do well in China tends to be effusive in their praises for the country and its government (e.g. Elon Musk). They also do not get involved in political commentary whether in China or anywhere else.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been long known to be active in doing his political \"talking\" with his checkbook. Don't believe me? Try Googling \"Jeff Bezos politics\" and see for yourself the search results. Would he be able to stay quiet as Amazon expands its presence in China while staying out of trouble?</p>\n<p>Secondly, many of the U.S. companies growing in China are consumer brands where a Chinese equivalent isn't just the same thing. Sure, the latter has a huge market as well, like how Li Ning (OTCPK:LNNGF)(OTCPK:LNNGY) can grow together with Nike and adidas (OTCQX:ADDDF)(OTCQX:ADDYY), whereas the failure of Luckin Coffee (OTCPK:LKNCY) showed how difficult it is to unseat Starbucks, the King of Coffee.</p>\n<p>Amazon, while it has several house brands, is essentially a platform and operates in the harsh internet sector. There is already ultra stiff competition among Chinese e-commerce and cloud players resulting in&nbsp;heavy losses to gain market share. The business climate is so challenging that there were recent&nbsp;reports of suicides&nbsp;stemming from Pinduoduo (PDD). If the domestic firms are already working to their necks, could Amazon with its American style of operation thrive or even survive in the tough environment?</p>\n<p>Jeff Bezos&nbsp;admitted&nbsp;as much about how Amazon failed in China in past interviews: \"We mostly tried to roll out what worked well for us in Japan, Germany, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, the U.S., etc., and it needed more local market customization.\"</p>\n<p>Chinese commentary also revealed that Amazon China's inept challenge to local rivals stemmed from the insistence of decision-making tightly controlled by the U.S. headquarters where the China team merely played the role of executioner.

The two e-commerce and cloud titans have compelling investment drivers. However, I argue in this article that Alibaba is the better buy right now. That said, readers are, of course, free to make your judgment based on the facts laid out here and elsewhere.\nAlibaba and Amazon's business moats and threats: Why deciding to hold Alibaba stock is so different from deciding to hold Amazon stock?\nAlibaba Group Holding and Amazon.com, Inc. have much in common. They started in e-commerce, became the leading player in the industry in their home country, and then branched out to other related businesses, notably the cloud computing service.\nAmazon's moat in e-commerce has been enhanced by its Amazon Prime membership. Paid users consolidate their purchases on its platform to \"recoup\" the fees and maximize the member benefits. This in turn helps Amazon to increase its economy of scale and optimize its infrastructure. The savings made are then passed on to users partially or in full to further entice them to stay within the ecosystem.\nAlibaba Group began at a time when paying a regular membership fee for bundled services and/or grocery delivery was an alien concept. Paying for a Netflix (NFLX) subscription or more appropriately, an iQIYI (IQ) subscription would be unthinkable in the 2000s when video piracy was rife. However, Alibaba found it could create a moat around its e-commerce business in another way.\nAlibaba realized the Chinese consumers were reluctant to shop online because of rampant fraud and quality issues in the early days. It solved the problem with the creation of Alipay, now operated by Ant Group, where Alibaba Group has a 33 percent equity stake. Alipay served as an online escrow system - sellers only get paid when the shoppers did not flag any discrepancies.\nAlipay has since evolved to provide a multitude of services, including the payment of offline purchases of any items where the seller has a functional QR code, as well as a quick checkout process for everyday routines like online food delivery and ride-hailing. The convenience it provides led users to be \"sticky\". A series of financial products and services are also developed to leverage this advantage.\nAll well and good. Investors love businesses with moats. Both Amazon and Alibaba have strong ones. However, the duo is threatened by government actions.\nSince November last year, Alibaba has been in the news mostly for the wrong reasons. Co-founder Jack Ma berated the regulators and days after, the IPO of Ant Group was suspended. The authorities stepped up on antitrust investigations, impacting both Ant Group and the e-commerce operations of Alibaba, spooking market players. Speculators also kept themselves busy with conspiracy theories as Jack Ma went \"missing\".\nIn the final days of the Trump administration, BABA stock was also under pressure by talks of an outright investment ban, as if The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act wasn't damaging enough. Nevertheless, looking at the swoon the share price was subjected to in the final two months of 2020, perhaps most of the disgruntled shareholders have already sold out of the stock, leaving \"diamond hands\" holding BABA, in Reddit-speak.\nSource: Alibaba Group\nThat would explain the more than 16 percent gain BABA stock achieved year-to-date prior to the correction plaguing technology and internet stocks in the past weeks. In contrast, AMZN was largely flat in the same period and is down 6.1 percent YTD even as BABA manages to be up 2.3 percent.\n\nCritics may cry foul that I missed out on the mention of its VIE structure. However, readers would agree with me that the issue has been repeated ad nauseam that I doubt the risk has yet to be priced in the shares.\nOn the contrary, the looming government scrutiny on U.S. tech companies including Amazon seems to be neglected by the market. For instance, President Joseph Biden decided to assign Tim Wu, a leader in the progressive movement to break up Big Tech, to the National Economic Council. Wu's signature warning is \"The antitrust winter is over.\"\nReports are now circulating that President Biden has planned to nominate Lina Khan, a legal scholar who has argued for tougher antitrust enforcement against big tech companies, to the Federal Trade Commission. With Amazon's size and market reach, it is bound to be within the crosshairs of the regulators. It is telling that Khan wrote in 2017 a Yale Law Journal article titled \"Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox,\" the failure of the antitrust law in the current form in addressing the scope of Amazon's market power.\nThe shareholders of Alibaba would need to think if the risks are already priced into the stock while the shareholders of Amazon would need to face the prospect of the company tackling a harsher regulatory environment.\nBusiness opportunities for Alibaba and Amazon\nAlibaba Group is the leading cloud provider in China by far. According to industry consultant Canalys, Alibaba has 40.9 percent of China's cloud infrastructure spend in Q3 2020. The next largest player, Huawei, has less than half that market share at 16.2 percent. Tencent follows closely at 15.8 percent.\nAlibaba's large market share puts it in good stead to ride the growth in China's cloud computing market that is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2 percent to reach US$63.7 billion in 2024. Worldwide, Alibaba Cloud has been steadily increasing its market share. It managed to leapfrog IBM (IBM) last year. On the other hand, while Amazon is the global cloud giant, Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG)(GOOGL) are fast challenging its dominant position.\nSource: Synergy Research Group\nAlibaba is also the undisputed largest e-commerce player in the world's most populous nation. Although it may seem like online shopping is highly prevalent in China for a long time, retail e-commerce sales were only around one-third of the total retail sales in the country in 2019. The pandemic accelerated the shift from offline to online and bumped the percentage to 44.8 percent last year. eMarketer predicts that the share of online shopping will continue to grow steadily in the next few years to reach 58.1 percent in 2024.\nSource: eMarketer\nOn the other hand, while Amazon is the e-commerce leader by far in the U.S., it is in a market where retail e-commerce sales are growing at a relative snail's pace. After a spectacular 2020, the retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. are estimated to grow at just 6.1 percent this year. In contrast, China's retail e-commerce sales are projected to grow more than three times faster at 21 percent, despite a base nearly thrice that of the U.S.\nSource: eMarketer\nOn a macro level and a longer-term consideration, Alibaba's home base is also in a sweet spot. According to a group of scholars from the prestigious Tsinghua University, the per capita GDP of China would more than triple by 2050, rising from USD18,291 to USD60,948 in 2050, almost double that of the world. This bodes well for the growth prospects of Alibaba Group. In the same period, the per capita GDP of the U.S. is projected to increase by a mere 52 percent, although that would still be higher than that of China.\nSource: 2050 China - Becoming a Great Modern Socialist Country\nDespite the brighter opportunities, Alibaba's market cap is less than half that of Amazon. Alibaba is also deemed to be undervalued based on valuation metrics as we will explore in the subsequent sections. Before that, I recognize there are fast-thinking readers who are wondering: what if Amazon could expand in China and enjoy the macro tailwinds as Alibaba is doing?\n\nCould Amazon excel in China?\nThis is a very interesting topic to explore and deserves a separate article. Nevertheless, as this is relevant to the comparison, I hope to briefly outline the key points to get the discussion going.\nIt is possible that American firms succeed in China. There are many examples such as Starbucks (SBUX), McDonald's (MCD), YUM! Brands (YUM), Nike (NKE), Microsoft, and Mettler Toledo (MTD), just to name a few. The most prominent brands in recent years doing well in China include Tesla (TSLA) and Lululemon (LULU).\nHowever, we also have many precedents of American firms failing to master the competitive landscape in China or were unwilling to comply with the local laws. Yahoo and eBay (EBAY) belong to the former while Alphabet's Google and Facebook (FB) are some examples of the latter.\nIn terms of retail, the closest matches are Walmart (WMT) and Target Corporation (TGT). The two are striving in China, so wouldn't Amazon too? It's possible but I see several obstacles.\nFirstly, the management of those companies who do well in China tends to be effusive in their praises for the country and its government (e.g. Elon Musk). They also do not get involved in political commentary whether in China or anywhere else.\nUnfortunately, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been long known to be active in doing his political \"talking\" with his checkbook. Don't believe me? Try Googling \"Jeff Bezos politics\" and see for yourself the search results. Would he be able to stay quiet as Amazon expands its presence in China while staying out of trouble?\nSecondly, many of the U.S. companies growing in China are consumer brands where a Chinese equivalent isn't just the same thing. Sure, the latter has a huge market as well, like how Li Ning (OTCPK:LNNGF)(OTCPK:LNNGY) can grow together with Nike and adidas (OTCQX:ADDDF)(OTCQX:ADDYY), whereas the failure of Luckin Coffee (OTCPK:LKNCY) showed how difficult it is to unseat Starbucks, the King of Coffee.\nAmazon, while it has several house brands, is essentially a platform and operates in the harsh internet sector. There is already ultra stiff competition among Chinese e-commerce and cloud players resulting in heavy losses to gain market share. The business climate is so challenging that there were recent reports of suicides stemming from Pinduoduo (PDD). If the domestic firms are already working to their necks, could Amazon with its American style of operation thrive or even survive in the tough environment?\nJeff Bezos admitted as much about how Amazon failed in China in past interviews: \"We mostly tried to roll out what worked well for us in Japan, Germany, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, the U.S., etc., and it needed more local market customization.\"\nChinese commentary also revealed that Amazon China's inept challenge to local rivals stemmed from the insistence of decision-making tightly controlled by the U.S. headquarters where the China team merely played the role of executioner. A flaw business strategy will be difficult to succeed however excellent the execution is. Things may have changed but there is nothing in recent news flow to suggest otherwise.\nThirdly, e-commerce companies in China rely on a multitude of drivers to support the core online shopping business. There is the mobile payment (Alipay for Alibaba), massive logistics (Cainiao, among others, for Alibaba), livestreaming (Taobao Live for Alibaba), as well as affiliated businesses like travel booking site Fliggy and food delivery Ele.me to keep users within the ecosystem.\nHow long would Amazon take to build that scale of ecosystem? How much money would that require? Is the company prepared to invest billions upon billions as the Chinese internet companies have done? Even if it's willing, there is no guarantee it can match the competition as the existing players continue to innovate.\nThus, I found it improbable that Amazon could enjoy the same macro tailwinds as Alibaba, leaving the question of why the latter remains undervalued.\nValuation comparison between Alibaba and Amazon stocks\nSeeking Alpha Premium users would know the platform provides a neat valuation tool for a convenient comparison of two or more stocks. I lay out a snapshot as follows, where the green shaded boxes indicate the preferred metric value.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium data (March 9, 2021), tabulated by ALT Perspective\nAt one glance, it's easy to see that BABA stock is attractive both on the key earnings metrics P/E and PEG ratios. It is also very cheap on the price-to-book ratio as compared to Amazon. In terms of liquidity metrics, Alibaba is also superior to Amazon. Of course, Amazon has its strengths too, winning on price-to-sales ratio and historical EBITDA growth, among others.\nAs the stock market indices continue to register new record highs, echoes of the 2000 internet bubble bursting are ringing loudly.

If that becomes a trend, the market would come to recognize the money-generator Alibaba is and reward the company accordingly.\n\nShould you buy Alibaba or Amazon stock?\nOf course, having read this article until this point, you know my bias is towards Alibaba.
