Amazon Stock: Which Is The Better Buy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199318380","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nThis article seeks to answer why deciding to hold Alibaba stock is so different from decidi","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>This article seeks to answer why deciding to hold Alibaba stock is so different from deciding to hold Amazon stock.</li>\n <li>A contrast of the business opportunities for Alibaba and Amazon.</li>\n <li>Discussing why Amazon will find it hard to thrive in China to enjoy the same macro tailwinds as Alibaba.</li>\n <li>Comparing the valuation between Alibaba and Amazon.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I have covered Alibaba (BABA) and Amazon (AMZN) both withbullish calls several times before. 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 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.

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.

(Although its impressive growth throughout the pandemic-fueled gaming boom in 2020 surely helped.)\nThat’s where the metaverse comes in. It’s a concept that’s been thrown around in science-fiction for decades. The metaverse is difficult to understand unless you’re a huge geek, so let’s use the most accessible pop culture example. Imagine if the virtual world depicted in the novel and movie “Ready Player One” actually existed. That’s what Roblox is trying to build.\nThe real long-term goal for Roblox is to build a metaverse where millions (or billions!) can gather to take part in games, meetings, collaborative work and even Roblox’s own virtual economy fueled by its currency called Robux.\nLook over the company’s prospectus and comments from its CEO and investors, and you get a clearer picture of Roblox’s grand vision. Roblox isn’t just making a game that slurps up your hard-earned dollars for virtual items. The company is closer to a futuristic Facebook than, say, a Zynga.\nHere’s how Roblox described that vision in its prospectus:\nWe built Roblox from the start as a single platform, single name, single focus company that would someday support billions of users. The ultimate “product specification” was always to model reality, based on the belief that the more accurately we could simulate the real world, the more utility we could provide. Looking forward, we intend to maintain this focus as a single platform company, even as we expand the ways in which we enable people around the world to play, learn, and work together.\nIn short, Roblox wants to give the building blocks for a metaverse to its users, who will in turn create the digital world as they see fit. And as an economy in the metaverse continues to grow and develop, Roblox will get a slice of each transaction.\nRoblox isn’t alone in exploring the metaverse concept.\nEpic Games, the company behind the popular shooting game Fortnite, has its own sights set on creating a metaverse. It’s already dabbled with experiences outside its core shooting game by hosting a Travis Scott concert and the premiere of a clip from the last Star Wars movie within the Fortnite world, for example. (Roblox held a virtual concert too, featuring Lil Nas X.)Microsoft is involved in the metaverse as well, thanks to its purchase of Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.\nSo, where does Roblox go from here?\nIt’s not going to be easy. The company has the gaming part of the metaverse locked down pretty well. It’s dabbling in live events. But the next challenge will be to convince people outside Roblox’s core demographic of kids and teens to come into Roblox for new kinds of experiences.\nPart of that challenge comes from limitations with today’s technology. The biggest believers in the metaverse are holding out for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tech to improve enough to provide a true sense of presence when you jump into the a digital world. But today’s headsets are too clunky to wear for extended periods of time. Their screens aren’t sharp enough to provide realistic, pixel-free images. And most make you look like a member of Daft Punk. Good luck walking down the street like that.\nStill, almost every Big Tech company is pumping money into AR and VR with the belief that it’ll usher in a new wave of computing, and maybe, one day, eliminate the need to carry around a smartphone in favor of computerized glasses.\nFacebook has been the most open about its plans in AR, and it plans to release its first pair of AR glasses later this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is especially bullish on the technology. He bought the VR start-up Oculus back in 2014 for $2 billion and has been building on that technology ever since. In a podcast interview with The Information earlier this week, Zuckerberg expanded on his plans for AR and VR, detailing a world where we can “teleport” anywhere virtually and socialize over a distance while still maintaining a sense of presence.\nMicrosoft has its own AR headset called the HoloLens, which is mostly used for business applications these days. Plus, at a price of over $3,000, it’s not accessible to the average person.Apple has been much more secretive about its headset plans, but many credible reports point to 2022 as the year it’ll launch its first device.\nBut there’s a risk for companies like Roblox there too. If Facebook or Apple controls the dominant AR and VR platforms, then companies like Roblox will still be forced to play by a competitor’s rules and continue paying a cut of all sales generated in the app to someone else.\nRoblox is probably fine with that though. Its focus is on its base of more than 31 million people who use Roblox each day who create the world others play in. Millions of them are developers who build and sell experiences within Roblox. And those developers make their living exclusively building for the world of Roblox.\nNeil Rimer, co-founder of Index Ventures (which owns more than 10% of Roblox shares) and a Roblox board member, told CNBC in an interview Wednesday that the energy around the metaverse will come from those users, not the company.\n“No single company can build a metaverse,” Rimer said. “It has to be a community. The metaverse will exist when it reflects the world in some sense, when there’s so much variety that on any given day you can decide to do whatever you want to do, just like in the real world.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321762904,"gmtCreate":1615471481508,"gmtModify":1704783219070,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Roblozxxx","listText":"Roblozxxx","text":"Roblozxxx","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321762904","repostId":"1117315532","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117315532","pubTimestamp":1615470982,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117315532?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-11 21:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Welcome to the metaverse, the sci-fi dream behind Roblox’s $38 billion valuation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117315532","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nGaming company Roblox went public Wednesday and ended its first trading session with an ","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nGaming company Roblox went public Wednesday and ended its first trading session with an eye-popping $38 billion market cap.\nThat valuation may seem unusual given the company’s financials, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/11/roblox-rblx-goes-public-with-a-bet-on-the-metaverse.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;

(Although its impressive growth throughout the pandemic-fueled gaming boom in 2020 surely helped.)\nThat’s where the metaverse comes in. It’s a concept that’s been thrown around in science-fiction for decades. The metaverse is difficult to understand unless you’re a huge geek, so let’s use the most accessible pop culture example. Imagine if the virtual world depicted in the novel and movie “Ready Player One” actually existed. That’s what Roblox is trying to build.\nThe real long-term goal for Roblox is to build a metaverse where millions (or billions!) can gather to take part in games, meetings, collaborative work and even Roblox’s own virtual economy fueled by its currency called Robux.\nLook over the company’s prospectus and comments from its CEO and investors, and you get a clearer picture of Roblox’s grand vision. Roblox isn’t just making a game that slurps up your hard-earned dollars for virtual items. The company is closer to a futuristic Facebook than, say, a Zynga.\nHere’s how Roblox described that vision in its prospectus:\nWe built Roblox from the start as a single platform, single name, single focus company that would someday support billions of users. The ultimate “product specification” was always to model reality, based on the belief that the more accurately we could simulate the real world, the more utility we could provide. Looking forward, we intend to maintain this focus as a single platform company, even as we expand the ways in which we enable people around the world to play, learn, and work together.\nIn short, Roblox wants to give the building blocks for a metaverse to its users, who will in turn create the digital world as they see fit. And as an economy in the metaverse continues to grow and develop, Roblox will get a slice of each transaction.\nRoblox isn’t alone in exploring the metaverse concept.\nEpic Games, the company behind the popular shooting game Fortnite, has its own sights set on creating a metaverse. It’s already dabbled with experiences outside its core shooting game by hosting a Travis Scott concert and the premiere of a clip from the last Star Wars movie within the Fortnite world, for example. (Roblox held a virtual concert too, featuring Lil Nas X.)Microsoft is involved in the metaverse as well, thanks to its purchase of Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.\nSo, where does Roblox go from here?\nIt’s not going to be easy. The company has the gaming part of the metaverse locked down pretty well. It’s dabbling in live events. But the next challenge will be to convince people outside Roblox’s core demographic of kids and teens to come into Roblox for new kinds of experiences.\nPart of that challenge comes from limitations with today’s technology. The biggest believers in the metaverse are holding out for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tech to improve enough to provide a true sense of presence when you jump into the a digital world. But today’s headsets are too clunky to wear for extended periods of time. Their screens aren’t sharp enough to provide realistic, pixel-free images. And most make you look like a member of Daft Punk. Good luck walking down the street like that.\nStill, almost every Big Tech company is pumping money into AR and VR with the belief that it’ll usher in a new wave of computing, and maybe, one day, eliminate the need to carry around a smartphone in favor of computerized glasses.\nFacebook has been the most open about its plans in AR, and it plans to release its first pair of AR glasses later this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is especially bullish on the technology. He bought the VR start-up Oculus back in 2014 for $2 billion and has been building on that technology ever since. In a podcast interview with The Information earlier this week, Zuckerberg expanded on his plans for AR and VR, detailing a world where we can “teleport” anywhere virtually and socialize over a distance while still maintaining a sense of presence.\nMicrosoft has its own AR headset called the HoloLens, which is mostly used for business applications these days. Plus, at a price of over $3,000, it’s not accessible to the average person.Apple has been much more secretive about its headset plans, but many credible reports point to 2022 as the year it’ll launch its first device.\nBut there’s a risk for companies like Roblox there too. If Facebook or Apple controls the dominant AR and VR platforms, then companies like Roblox will still be forced to play by a competitor’s rules and continue paying a cut of all sales generated in the app to someone else.\nRoblox is probably fine with that though. Its focus is on its base of more than 31 million people who use Roblox each day who create the world others play in. Millions of them are developers who build and sell experiences within Roblox. And those developers make their living exclusively building for the world of Roblox.\nNeil Rimer, co-founder of Index Ventures (which owns more than 10% of Roblox shares) and a Roblox board member, told CNBC in an interview Wednesday that the energy around the metaverse will come from those users, not the company.\n“No single company can build a metaverse,” Rimer said. “It has to be a community. The metaverse will exist when it reflects the world in some sense, when there’s so much variety that on any given day you can decide to do whatever you want to do, just like in the real world.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":356,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321972993,"gmtCreate":1615391223012,"gmtModify":1704782193934,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Love

POINTS\n\nMicrosoft has closed its $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax, the parent company of Bethesda.\nMicrosoft confirmed that some new Bethesda games would be exclusive to Xbox consoles and PCs.\nThe firm has often been seen as lagging behind Sony when it comes to major first-party releases.\n\nMicrosoft says it has closed its blockbuster acquisition of ZeniMax, the parent company of video game publisher Bethesda.\nThe company announced in September that it would buy ZeniMax for $7.5 billion in cash. It’s the biggest gaming acquisition in Microsoft’s history, eclipsing the $2.5 billion the firm paid to buy Minecraft developer Mojang in 2014.\nThe Bethesda deal’s completion comes days after the European Union and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave the takeover their blessing. Bethesda is a household name in gaming. It’s published a number of hit franchises including the role-playing game series Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, and the Doom shooter franchise.\nIn a blog postTuesday, Microsoft confirmed rumors that some new Bethesda games would be exclusive to its Xbox console and Windows PCs.\n“With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players,” said Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox unit.\nSuch a move would ramp up Microsoft’s competition withSony. Both firms debuted their next-generation consoles last year, hoping to lure in gamers with the promise of big improvements on the older systems.\nMicrosoft took a different approach to Sony though, heavily marketing its Xbox Game Pass subscription service which offers players access to a library of games. Sony, on the other hand, is touting new PlayStation exclusives to attract gamers.\nWith Bethesda, Microsoft is hoping to build out Xbox Game Pass by including the Rockville, Maryland-based studio’s catalog of titles. But it also aims to convince people to play on its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms and PCs, rather than Sony’s new PlayStation 5.\nMicrosoft has often been seen as lagging behind Sony when it comes to major first-party releases. Xbox Game Studios’ highly anticipated new Halo game, Halo Infinite, was delayed until later this year after a backlash over quality issues in a reveal of the game.\nGaming has been a key beneficiary from the coronavirus pandemic as people have been spending more of their time at home. Major publishers like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios and Electronic Arts have looked to capitalize on that trend by using their huge cash piles to snap up smaller game developers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":497,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":329149113,"gmtCreate":1615216703032,"gmtModify":1704779744884,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Legggoooo","listText":"Legggoooo","text":"Legggoooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/329149113","repostId":"1165621021","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165621021","pubTimestamp":1615216188,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165621021?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-08 23:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is There a Bullish Argument for AMC Entertainment Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165621021","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's so easy to hate on the country's leading multiplex operator.

On Thursday, DataTrek Research co-founder Nicholas Colas said the Bitcoin investment might not be good news for Tesla investors.</p>\n<p>Colas examined&nbsp;Elon Musk’s decision to invest in Bitcoin from three angles.</p>\n<p>First, he looked at the opportunity cost of devoting $1.5 billion of precious cash to Bitcoin rather than investing in Tesla’s costly global expansion.</p>\n<p>“If TSLA’s valuation pre-[bitcoin] purchase was based on the promise of widespread EV adoption, then does it possibly deserve a lower valuation now because it’s just signaled that the reinvestment opportunities in this industry are potentially lower?” Colas said.</p>\n<p><i>Related Link: 5 Things To Consider When Choosing A Cryptocurrency Exchange </i></p>\n<p><b>Bitcoin Up, Tesla Down:</b> Tesla shares are already down 9.2% in less than two weeks since the Bitcoin stake was announced&nbsp;despite the fact that the bitcoin investment has already turned a significant profit.</p>\n<p>The second reason Colas said Tesla’s bitcoin investment is a head-scratcher is that conglomerates tend to be undervalued in the market. Underperforming businesses within a conglomerate drag down the average valuation of the conglomerate because cash flow from the successful businesses ends up being used to support the lagging ones.</p>\n<p>Colas said Tesla buying Bitcoin adds no value to Tesla because investors could easily buy a two-security portfolio of Tesla and bitcoin before the investment.</p>\n<p><b>Marketing Investment? </b>However, despite the two reasons Tesla investors should potentially be concerned about the Bitcoin investment, Colas said Musk may simply be investing in his brand as a tech visionary rather than implying anything negative about Tesla’s auto business. In that sense, investors can think of Tesla’s Bitcoin investment as a marketing expense that has worked like a charm given all the attention Tesla has gotten surrounding the purchase.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, Colas said he has “no problem” with Tesla’s $755 billion valuation, but the fact that Musk is investing Tesla’s cash into Bitcoin rather than Tesla is telling.</p>\n<p>“Closing out with a crazy trade idea to consider: long [bitcoin], short TSLA. Because essentially that’s what Musk has just done,” Colas said.</p>\n<p><b>Benzinga’s Take:</b> So far, the long bitcoin/short Tesla pair trade has worked like a charm.

On Thursday, DataTrek Research co-founder Nicholas Colas said the Bitcoin investment might not be good news for Tesla investors.\nColas examined Elon Musk’s decision to invest in Bitcoin from three angles.\nFirst, he looked at the opportunity cost of devoting $1.5 billion of precious cash to Bitcoin rather than investing in Tesla’s costly global expansion.\n“If TSLA’s valuation pre-[bitcoin] purchase was based on the promise of widespread EV adoption, then does it possibly deserve a lower valuation now because it’s just signaled that the reinvestment opportunities in this industry are potentially lower?” Colas said.\nRelated Link: 5 Things To Consider When Choosing A Cryptocurrency Exchange \nBitcoin Up, Tesla Down: Tesla shares are already down 9.2% in less than two weeks since the Bitcoin stake was announced despite the fact that the bitcoin investment has already turned a significant profit.\nThe second reason Colas said Tesla’s bitcoin investment is a head-scratcher is that conglomerates tend to be undervalued in the market. Underperforming businesses within a conglomerate drag down the average valuation of the conglomerate because cash flow from the successful businesses ends up being used to support the lagging ones.\nColas said Tesla buying Bitcoin adds no value to Tesla because investors could easily buy a two-security portfolio of Tesla and bitcoin before the investment.\nMarketing Investment? However, despite the two reasons Tesla investors should potentially be concerned about the Bitcoin investment, Colas said Musk may simply be investing in his brand as a tech visionary rather than implying anything negative about Tesla’s auto business. In that sense, investors can think of Tesla’s Bitcoin investment as a marketing expense that has worked like a charm given all the attention Tesla has gotten surrounding the purchase.\nIn conclusion, Colas said he has “no problem” with Tesla’s $755 billion valuation, but the fact that Musk is investing Tesla’s cash into Bitcoin rather than Tesla is telling.\n“Closing out with a crazy trade idea to consider: long [bitcoin], short TSLA. Because essentially that’s what Musk has just done,” Colas said.\nBenzinga’s Take: So far, the long bitcoin/short Tesla pair trade has worked like a charm. Since Tesla’s bitcoin investment was announced, Tesla shares are down 9.1% while the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC: GBTC) is up 13.8%.\nLatest Ratings for TSLA\n\n\n\nDate\nFirm\nAction\nFrom\nTo\n\n\n\n\nFeb 2021\nMorgan Stanley\nMaintains\n\nOverweight\n\n\nFeb 2021\nPiper Sandler\nMaintains\n\nOverweight\n\n\nJan 2021\nDeutsche Bank\nMaintains\n\nBuy","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387830307,"gmtCreate":1613734130409,"gmtModify":1704884307816,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","listText":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","text":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387830307","repostId":"1161529893","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161529893","pubTimestamp":1613733842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1161529893?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-19 19:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Goldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161529893","media":"Marketwatch","summary":"‘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.Robo investing has become increasingly ubiquitous on practically every brokerage platform.

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.

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 $40,000 to invest.\nThe results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3571693844578184","authorId":"3571693844578184","name":"NatChua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef8ab775a2f944464518c6643d9628d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3571693844578184","authorIdStr":"3571693844578184"},"content":"Yes i think so too!!","text":"Yes i think so too!!","html":"Yes i think so too!!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387894398,"gmtCreate":1613733912514,"gmtModify":1704884304738,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment!!!","listText":"Comment!!!","text":"Comment!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387894398","repostId":"1179306002","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387892328,"gmtCreate":1613733777764,"gmtModify":1704884301500,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIOL\">$Biolase(BIOL)$</a>Love this stock!!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIOL\">$Biolase(BIOL)$</a>Love this stock!!","text":"$Biolase(BIOL)$Love this stock!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387892328","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":364502445,"gmtCreate":1614861423387,"gmtModify":1704776157290,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Teslaaaaaa","listText":"Teslaaaaaa","text":"Teslaaaaaa","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/364502445","repostId":"1104042346","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":384,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366868922,"gmtCreate":1614436035266,"gmtModify":1704771803431,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I love Bitcoin!","listText":"I love Bitcoin!","text":"I love Bitcoin!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366868922","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.

The industrial titan finalized a deal to sell its GECAS aircraft-leasing business to top rival <b>AerCap</b> (NYSE:AER) as Culp seeks to simplify GE and refocus on its core industrial businesses.</p>\n<p>While GE stock rose earlier this week following rumors of a potential deal with AerCap, the shares gave back those gains after the agreement was formally announced. Let's see how this move impacts the investment case for General Electric and AerCap.</p>\n<h2>Combining two aircraft-leasing giants</h2>\n<p>Under the deal announced this week, AerCap will pay approximately $31 billion for GECAS. That consists of $24 billion of cash, 1.1 billion shares of AerCap -- currently worth about $6 billion and equivalent to a 46% stake -- and an additional $1 billion that AerCap can pay in cash or notes at its option.</p>\n<p>The sale price represents a modest discount to GECAS' book value.

The industrial titan finalized a deal to sell its GECAS aircraft-leasing business to top rival AerCap (NYSE:AER) as Culp seeks to simplify GE and refocus on its core industrial businesses.\nWhile GE stock rose earlier this week following rumors of a potential deal with AerCap, the shares gave back those gains after the agreement was formally announced. Let's see how this move impacts the investment case for General Electric and AerCap.\nCombining two aircraft-leasing giants\nUnder the deal announced this week, AerCap will pay approximately $31 billion for GECAS. That consists of $24 billion of cash, 1.1 billion shares of AerCap -- currently worth about $6 billion and equivalent to a 46% stake -- and an additional $1 billion that AerCap can pay in cash or notes at its option.\nThe sale price represents a modest discount to GECAS' book value. As a result, GE will record a $3 billion non-cash charge related to the sale. However, AerCap stock also trades at a discount to book value. GE is optimistic that the AerCap shares it receives will rise in value over the next few years as the global aviation industry recovers from the pandemic (and as AerCap wrings out merger synergies).\nAerCap Price to Book Value, data by YCharts.\nThe AerCap-GECAS deal is particularly newsworthy because those companies are the two largest aircraft lessors in the world.

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. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”</p>\n<p>However, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.</p>\n<p>The company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles.

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.

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":198,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387830307,"gmtCreate":1613734130409,"gmtModify":1704884307816,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","listText":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","text":"For sure robo investing is the way to go!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387830307","repostId":"1161529893","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161529893","pubTimestamp":1613733842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1161529893?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-19 19:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Goldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161529893","media":"Marketwatch","summary":"‘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.Robo investing has become increasingly ubiquitous on practically every brokerage platform.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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?

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":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365403846,"gmtCreate":1614766186085,"gmtModify":1704774936881,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah man!

It’s the biggest gaming acquisition in Microsoft’s history, eclipsing the $2.5 billion the firm paid to buy Minecraft developer Mojang in 2014.\nThe Bethesda deal’s completion comes days after the European Union and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave the takeover their blessing. Bethesda is a household name in gaming. It’s published a number of hit franchises including the role-playing game series Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, and the Doom shooter franchise.\nIn a blog postTuesday, Microsoft confirmed rumors that some new Bethesda games would be exclusive to its Xbox console and Windows PCs.\n“With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players,” said Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox unit.\nSuch a move would ramp up Microsoft’s competition withSony. Both firms debuted their next-generation consoles last year, hoping to lure in gamers with the promise of big improvements on the older systems.\nMicrosoft took a different approach to Sony though, heavily marketing its Xbox Game Pass subscription service which offers players access to a library of games. Sony, on the other hand, is touting new PlayStation exclusives to attract gamers.\nWith Bethesda, Microsoft is hoping to build out Xbox Game Pass by including the Rockville, Maryland-based studio’s catalog of titles. But it also aims to convince people to play on its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms and PCs, rather than Sony’s new PlayStation 5.\nMicrosoft has often been seen as lagging behind Sony when it comes to major first-party releases. Xbox Game Studios’ highly anticipated new Halo game, Halo Infinite, was delayed until later this year after a backlash over quality issues in a reveal of the game.\nGaming has been a key beneficiary from the coronavirus pandemic as people have been spending more of their time at home. Major publishers like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios and Electronic Arts have looked to capitalize on that trend by using their huge cash piles to snap up smaller game developers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":497,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361526251,"gmtCreate":1614248116373,"gmtModify":1704769570963,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I feel sad too oh no","listText":"I feel sad too oh no","text":"I feel sad too oh no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/361526251","repostId":"2114131201","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2114131201","pubTimestamp":1614247264,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2114131201?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-25 18:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Temporarily Halts Production at Model 3 Line in California","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2114131201","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Tesla Inc. has told workers it will temporarily halt some production at its car assembly plant in California, according to a person familiar with the matter.Workers on a Model 3 production line in Fremont were told their line would be down from Feb. 22 until March 7, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.

(Although its impressive growth throughout the pandemic-fueled gaming boom in 2020 surely helped.)\nThat’s where the metaverse comes in. It’s a concept that’s been thrown around in science-fiction for decades. The metaverse is difficult to understand unless you’re a huge geek, so let’s use the most accessible pop culture example. Imagine if the virtual world depicted in the novel and movie “Ready Player One” actually existed. That’s what Roblox is trying to build.\nThe real long-term goal for Roblox is to build a metaverse where millions (or billions!) can gather to take part in games, meetings, collaborative work and even Roblox’s own virtual economy fueled by its currency called Robux.\nLook over the company’s prospectus and comments from its CEO and investors, and you get a clearer picture of Roblox’s grand vision. Roblox isn’t just making a game that slurps up your hard-earned dollars for virtual items. The company is closer to a futuristic Facebook than, say, a Zynga.\nHere’s how Roblox described that vision in its prospectus:\nWe built Roblox from the start as a single platform, single name, single focus company that would someday support billions of users. The ultimate “product specification” was always to model reality, based on the belief that the more accurately we could simulate the real world, the more utility we could provide. Looking forward, we intend to maintain this focus as a single platform company, even as we expand the ways in which we enable people around the world to play, learn, and work together.\nIn short, Roblox wants to give the building blocks for a metaverse to its users, who will in turn create the digital world as they see fit. And as an economy in the metaverse continues to grow and develop, Roblox will get a slice of each transaction.\nRoblox isn’t alone in exploring the metaverse concept.\nEpic Games, the company behind the popular shooting game Fortnite, has its own sights set on creating a metaverse. It’s already dabbled with experiences outside its core shooting game by hosting a Travis Scott concert and the premiere of a clip from the last Star Wars movie within the Fortnite world, for example. (Roblox held a virtual concert too, featuring Lil Nas X.)Microsoft is involved in the metaverse as well, thanks to its purchase of Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.\nSo, where does Roblox go from here?\nIt’s not going to be easy. The company has the gaming part of the metaverse locked down pretty well. It’s dabbling in live events. But the next challenge will be to convince people outside Roblox’s core demographic of kids and teens to come into Roblox for new kinds of experiences.\nPart of that challenge comes from limitations with today’s technology. The biggest believers in the metaverse are holding out for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tech to improve enough to provide a true sense of presence when you jump into the a digital world. But today’s headsets are too clunky to wear for extended periods of time. Their screens aren’t sharp enough to provide realistic, pixel-free images. And most make you look like a member of Daft Punk. Good luck walking down the street like that.\nStill, almost every Big Tech company is pumping money into AR and VR with the belief that it’ll usher in a new wave of computing, and maybe, one day, eliminate the need to carry around a smartphone in favor of computerized glasses.\nFacebook has been the most open about its plans in AR, and it plans to release its first pair of AR glasses later this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is especially bullish on the technology. He bought the VR start-up Oculus back in 2014 for $2 billion and has been building on that technology ever since. In a podcast interview with The Information earlier this week, Zuckerberg expanded on his plans for AR and VR, detailing a world where we can “teleport” anywhere virtually and socialize over a distance while still maintaining a sense of presence.\nMicrosoft has its own AR headset called the HoloLens, which is mostly used for business applications these days.

If Facebook or Apple controls the dominant AR and VR platforms, then companies like Roblox will still be forced to play by a competitor’s rules and continue paying a cut of all sales generated in the app to someone else.\nRoblox is probably fine with that though. Its focus is on its base of more than 31 million people who use Roblox each day who create the world others play in. Millions of them are developers who build and sell experiences within Roblox. And those developers make their living exclusively building for the world of Roblox.\nNeil Rimer, co-founder of Index Ventures (which owns more than 10% of Roblox shares) and a Roblox board member, told CNBC in an interview Wednesday that the energy around the metaverse will come from those users, not the company.\n“No single company can build a metaverse,” Rimer said. “It has to be a community. The metaverse will exist when it reflects the world in some sense, when there’s so much variety that on any given day you can decide to do whatever you want to do, just like in the real world.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321762904,"gmtCreate":1615471481508,"gmtModify":1704783219070,"author":{"id":"3572253999814129","authorId":"3572253999814129","name":"elow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5e633b8edfba880422f108f701c911f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572253999814129","authorIdStr":"3572253999814129"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Roblozxxx","listText":"Roblozxxx","text":"Roblozxxx","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321762904","repostId":"1117315532","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117315532","pubTimestamp":1615470982,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117315532?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-11 21:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Welcome to the metaverse, the sci-fi dream behind Roblox’s $38 billion valuation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117315532","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nGaming company Roblox went public Wednesday and ended its first trading session with an ","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nGaming company Roblox went public Wednesday and ended its first trading session with an eye-popping $38 billion market cap.\nThat valuation may seem unusual given the company’s financials, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/11/roblox-rblx-goes-public-with-a-bet-on-the-metaverse.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;

(Although its impressive growth throughout the pandemic-fueled gaming boom in 2020 surely helped.)\nThat’s where the metaverse comes in. It’s a concept that’s been thrown around in science-fiction for decades. The metaverse is difficult to understand unless you’re a huge geek, so let’s use the most accessible pop culture example. Imagine if the virtual world depicted in the novel and movie “Ready Player One” actually existed. That’s what Roblox is trying to build.\nThe real long-term goal for Roblox is to build a metaverse where millions (or billions!) can gather to take part in games, meetings, collaborative work and even Roblox’s own virtual economy fueled by its currency called Robux.\nLook over the company’s prospectus and comments from its CEO and investors, and you get a clearer picture of Roblox’s grand vision. Roblox isn’t just making a game that slurps up your hard-earned dollars for virtual items. The company is closer to a futuristic Facebook than, say, a Zynga.\nHere’s how Roblox described that vision in its prospectus:\nWe built Roblox from the start as a single platform, single name, single focus company that would someday support billions of users. The ultimate “product specification” was always to model reality, based on the belief that the more accurately we could simulate the real world, the more utility we could provide. Looking forward, we intend to maintain this focus as a single platform company, even as we expand the ways in which we enable people around the world to play, learn, and work together.\nIn short, Roblox wants to give the building blocks for a metaverse to its users, who will in turn create the digital world as they see fit. And as an economy in the metaverse continues to grow and develop, Roblox will get a slice of each transaction.\nRoblox isn’t alone in exploring the metaverse concept.\nEpic Games, the company behind the popular shooting game Fortnite, has its own sights set on creating a metaverse. It’s already dabbled with experiences outside its core shooting game by hosting a Travis Scott concert and the premiere of a clip from the last Star Wars movie within the Fortnite world, for example. (Roblox held a virtual concert too, featuring Lil Nas X.)Microsoft is involved in the metaverse as well, thanks to its purchase of Minecraft developer Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.\nSo, where does Roblox go from here?\nIt’s not going to be easy. The company has the gaming part of the metaverse locked down pretty well. It’s dabbling in live events. But the next challenge will be to convince people outside Roblox’s core demographic of kids and teens to come into Roblox for new kinds of experiences.\nPart of that challenge comes from limitations with today’s technology. The biggest believers in the metaverse are holding out for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tech to improve enough to provide a true sense of presence when you jump into the a digital world. But today’s headsets are too clunky to wear for extended periods of time. Their screens aren’t sharp enough to provide realistic, pixel-free images. And most make you look like a member of Daft Punk. Good luck walking down the street like that.\nStill, almost every Big Tech company is pumping money into AR and VR with the belief that it’ll usher in a new wave of computing, and maybe, one day, eliminate the need to carry around a smartphone in favor of computerized glasses.\nFacebook has been the most open about its plans in AR, and it plans to release its first pair of AR glasses later this year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is especially bullish on the technology. He bought the VR start-up Oculus back in 2014 for $2 billion and has been building on that technology ever since.
