six months into 2021, andenergy stocksare already on pace for their best year in more than three decades, leading some to believe the run may be due for a pullback.\nThe group pulled back on Thursday and Friday, but is still up more than 40% for the year. That’s almost double the 23% return for the real estate sector, which is the second-best sector. The S&P 500 is up nearly 12% this year.\nEnergy’s big start to the year means that even if the sector goes nowhere for the rest of 2021, it will still be the best year since 1990 by nearly 10%, according to Bay Crest Partners chief market technician Jonathan Krinsky.\nThe surge in energy stocks comes on the back of a recovery in oil prices, and as investors return to areas of the market that were left out of 2020′s rebound from the pandemic lows. The sector was also starting from a low base. In 2020, the group fell 37.3% for its worst performance since inception in 1989.\nKrinsky is among those saying the upside move is overdone, and his call is to sell crude oil and energy stocks broadly. From a technical standpoint, he noted that the $420 to $450 level acted as support — a floor — for the group during the last decade. But then during the Covid sell-off, the sector plunged below that key level — breaking below $200 — as the pandemic ground economies around the world to a halt.\n\nThe S&P Energy Sector has since recovered and traded as high as $420 on Thursday, inching closer to their prior support level, which now acts as resistance, or where an uptrend could be expected to reverse.\n“Oftentimes when you break a very important support like that, once you come back and test it as resistance, it’s difficult to exceed that — at least on the first try,” Krinsky noted.\nGauging performance from Jan. 1 might seem arbitrary, but he added that the sector’s outperformance is notable from virtually any date. Over the last eight months, the group has returned over 90%, which Krinsky says is more than two times the prior largest such gain over the last three decades.\n“Even on a rolling basis this is somewhat unprecedented,” he said. His bearish call on the sector also stems from other commodities breaking down, including lumber and copper. The latter is now breaking its uptrend, and Krinsky noted that copper was a leading indicator for the 2020 low, hitting a bottom one month ahead of West Texas Intermediate Crude futures.\nTOP-PERFORMING S&P 500 ENERGY STOCKS THIS YEAR\n\n\n\nTICKER\nCOMPANY\nPRICE\n%CHANGE\nYIELD\nPREVIOUS CLOSE\n\n\n\n\nMRO\nMarathon Oil Corp\n12.83\n-0.4655\n12.83\n12.89\n\n\nFANG\nDiamondback Energy Inc\n86.23\n-0.7596\n86.23\n86.89\n\n\nDVN\nDevon Energy Corp\n27.22\n-1.3411\n27.22\n27.59\n\n\nEOG\nEOG Resources Inc\n80.795\n-0.7798\n80.795\n81.43\n\n\n\nWithin the sector,Marathon Oilhas gained nearly 93% this year, making it the top-performing energy stock in the S&P 500.\nDiamondback Energyrose about 80% year to date, andDevon Energyclimbed more than 70%.OccidentalandEOG Resourcesare up more than 60%.\nAmid the outperformance the group remains unloved by Wall Street as factors – including environmental, social and corporate governance investing – prompt investors to shy away from the sector. Bank of America recently noted that the entire sector makes up just 2% of the average long-only portfolio, or less than half the allocation toward Facebook, which sits at 4.2%.\nEnergy still comprises a tiny portion of the S&P 500, but as the sector’s weighting grows, fund managers who shun the space could risk returns.\nMRB Partners on Thursday reiterated its overweight rating on the group, saying the recovery in demand for petroleum products, coupled with ongoing supply constraints, should push oil prices higher, leading to further returns for energy stocks.\n“Strengthening cash flows, leaner cost structures, and better capital discipline position the industry to moderately increase capital returns to shareholders,” strategists led by Salvatore Ruscitti wrote in a note to clients. “Relative performance will benefit from the reflationary backdrop and our expectations for a softer U.S. dollar.”\nWhen it comes to specific stocks, Gilman Hill Asset Management CEO Jenny Harrington owns names includingChevron,OneokandKinder Morgan. She noted on Thursday’s“Halftime Report”that it’s important to look at the whole picture. While oil is at its highest level in nearly two and a half years, it’s trading at about half the level it was just a few years ago. On the flip side, it’s well above where it traded in June of 2020 as the pandemic took hold.\n“They’re all trading at a fraction of the market multiple,” Harrington said of the energy stocks she owns. “They all have hefty dividend yields,” she added, arguing that strong earnings growth means “there’s a lot of room to go here.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165587284,"gmtCreate":1624151757348,"gmtModify":1703829441782,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy….","listText":"Buy….","text":"Buy….","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165587284","repostId":"1175693382","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175693382","pubTimestamp":1623978463,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175693382?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Stock: The Bottoming Process Looks To Be Forming Already","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175693382","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Alibaba is probably the most undervalued growth stock right now.The company’s multiple growth drivers within a rapidly expanding market made its valuations look even more baffling.The short term technical picture may be turning bullish with a potential double bottom price action signal.When we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Alibaba is probably the most undervalued growth stock right now.</li>\n <li>The company’s multiple growth drivers within a rapidly expanding market made its valuations look even more baffling.</li>\n <li>The short term technical picture may be turning bullish with a potential double bottom price action signal.</li>\n <li>We discuss the company’s multiple growth drivers and let investors judge for themselves.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05e63c77d4f3f3dc3d618e43044638bb\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Yongyuan Dai/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>The Technical Thesis</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7febf6ed056b0e3bc038321cdaad9b1c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"782\"><span>Source: TradingView</span></p>\n<p>Alibaba’s&nbsp;stock price has endured a terrible 8 months ever since its Ant Financial IPO was pulled in early Nov 20, with the stock languishing in the doldrums 34% off its high. When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eba49f5881708929949c30628eedc5d4\" tg-width=\"934\" tg-height=\"578\"><span>Annual GMV.

We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years.

In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d5a8d0d8a6a2dcdf667a6f33c6c9771\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"702\"><span>Peers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Even though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&amp;A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.</p>\n<p>One important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of&nbsp;823M AAC&nbsp;in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only&nbsp;100M AAC in Q2’C17&nbsp;as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b83b69b08b1f4b11a26393c8e6eead5\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research</span></p>\n<p>Even though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b97b2b4a8a182dc9846d8fb7e4039877\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"770\"><span>PDD profitability metrics &amp; revenue growth forecast.

More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aadc32155b4108426a1a982e3b5b1c2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>China public cloud spending.

Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn</span></p>\n<p>BABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06198c569504bc303c34563041dfb294\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Worldwide public cloud spending.

Source:CnTechPost; Gartner</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a087c4b3ef7efc2c5dde813e3b959d\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>NTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2605c0e5ad364a7a43929fef204595c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"687\"><span>EV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>When we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27873e676dfb23c98d4a69aa5861e02\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"1117\"><span>Peers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>By using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.</p>\n<p><b>Risks to Assumptions</b></p>\n<p>Now, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable. The market certainly hates unpredictability and therefore they may have significantly discounted BABA as a result of that.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.\nBABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers\nAnnual GMV. Data source: Company filings\nAnnual e-commerce revenue. Data source: Company filings\nBABA’s GMV grew from 1.68T yuan to 7.49T yuan in just a matter of 7 years, which represented a CAGR of 23.8%, a truly amazing growth rate. We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.\nEven though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.\nE-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista\nWhen we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.\nPeers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEven though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.\nOne important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of 823M AAC in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only 100M AAC in Q2’C17 as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.\nTherefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.\nMarket size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research\nEven though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.\nPDD profitability metrics & revenue growth forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWe could observe from the above chart that PDD is expected to continue growing its revenue rapidly over the next few years, even though they are expected to normalize subsequently. More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.\nChina public cloud spending. Source:China Internet Watch; Canalys\nSize of China public cloud market. Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn\nBABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.\nWorldwide public cloud spending. Data source: Gartner\nWorldwide public cloud market share. Source:CnTechPost; Gartner\nTherefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.\nBABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling\nNTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.\nEV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.\nPeers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nBy using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.\nRisks to Assumptions\nNow, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable. The market certainly hates unpredictability and therefore they may have significantly discounted BABA as a result of that. If investors are not able to handle uncertainty with regard to potentially unpredictable regulatory actions and their aftermath, then BABA may not be appropriate for you. However, if you believe that this is just a blip in BABA’s long journey, then you would surely find BABA's valuations extremely attractive right now, coupled with a long term mindset.\nWrapping It All Up\nAlibaba has continued to deliver solid results that demonstrated the strong capability of the company to execute well. As the company continues to operate within a market with so many growth drivers that are expected to drive the company’s future growth, investors should find the current valuations highly attractive.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354248192,"gmtCreate":1617182518016,"gmtModify":1704696894401,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354248192","repostId":"1166961889","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166961889","pubTimestamp":1617156802,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166961889?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-31 10:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Stocks to Build an Income Stream for the Long Haul.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166961889","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"Bob Baker, a retired aerospace engineer, regularly taps his small pension and Social Security income","content":"<p>Bob Baker, a retired aerospace engineer, regularly taps his small pension and Social Security income to help cover his living expenses.</p><p>But he also relies on a steady dose of stock dividends, something he started to zero in on when he retired in 2015. “Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings,” says Baker, 72, who lives in northern Virginia with his wife.</p><p>Dividends from his retirement accounts are transferred every month into a taxable account to cover required minimum distributions, or RMDs—which kick in after a retiree hits 72, up from age 70½ previously.

The yield on the dividend stocks in his portfolio was recently 4.5%.</p><p>The notion of using dividends in retirement, either as a way to complement other financial assets, as Baker does, or perhaps rely on them for an even larger percentage of income, is drawing plenty of interest these days. Yields on many traditional income investments are now near historical lows, and the onus increasingly is on individuals to secure their postcareer income. The strategy has spawned something of a movement, encompassing investors of all ages and levels of sophistication. There areFacebookgroups devoted to the topic along with blogs, newsletters, books, and various other platforms.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87d47a63a4c8bee81dd0af14d95ae412\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"636\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>But these investors are not yourGameStoptraders or momentum players. They are in many cases diligent investors adopting sound strategies to build a portfolio for the long haul, investing sometimes $100 here or $50 there. They’re more like modern-day moms and pops.</p><p>“A big appeal of dividends is really that it’s kind of psychologically easier to stay the course,” says Brian Bollinger, who in 2015 founded Simply Safe Dividends, which includes a monthly newsletter and tools for do-it-yourself dividend investors. “You are focusing on building this growing income stream regardless of market conditions.”</p><p>Indeed, during last year’s pandemic-driven market rout and subsequent strong rally, dividend stocks lagged, and a number of big names cut or suspended their payouts. From when the market reached its prepandemic peak in February 2020 through the end of the year, the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats returned 8.1%, dividends included. Those companies, which have paid out higher dividends for at least 25 straight years, trailed the S&amp;P 500’s 12.7% return over that stretch.</p><p>Yield ShortageThe yield of a 50-50 portfolio of stocks and bonds, once a reliable source of income for retirees, has dwindledto below 2%.Source: Vanguard%Recessions are shaded4% represents a hypothetical annualportfolio withdrawal rate for a retiree.1994'952000'05'10'15'2012345</p><p>But last year’s selloff and relative underperformance offered a chance for nimble dividend investors to add to holdings they considered to be undervalued. If you missed out, however, it’s not too late: Below, we identify 10 stocks with solid yields, consistent payouts, and seeming durability.</p><p>A key force behind the burgeoning interest in retiring on dividends is ultralow interest rates. Even though the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has touched 1.7% in recent days, passing the S&amp;P 500’s average yield, interest rates remain low by historical standards. Other traditional income—generating investments like certificates of deposit and corporate bonds are also trading with historically low yields.</p><p>“It used to be that retirees could live off the cash flows from a portfolio,” says Colleen Jaconetti, head of investment research at Vanguard Institutional Investor Group. “So, you never really had to think about where it came from.”</p><p>She points out that in early 1995, a 50-50 stock and bond portfolio yielded a little more than 5%, above the 4% annual portfolio withdrawal rate that some advisors and investors use as a starting framework in retirement. That portfolio’s yield had fallen to 1.4% at the end of 2020.</p><p>Such paltry yields can make dividend stocks an attractive investment centerpiece for retirees. They can offer nice yields, and unlike fixed bond coupons, dividends can grow to hedge inflation, which many experts expect to tick up.</p><p>“People generally say that the sweet spot is somewhere between 2.5% and 4.5%” for dividend yields, “and I’m right in the middle of that at 3.6%,” says Dave Van Knapp, an active dividend-growth-investing blogger and investor who relies heavily on dividends in retirement.</p><p>The 74-year-old Van Knapp, who worked in legal publishing, not only promotes the investment strategy but also shows it in action, posting <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of his portfolios on a website called Daily Trade Alert. That portfolio—which had increased more than threefold from when he set it up in 2008, to $151,854 recently—has 28 stocks. They includeJohnson &amp; Johnson(JNJ), PepsiCo, andProcter &amp; Gamble(PG). He uses Social Security and a pension to complement his dividend income streams.</p><p>“A lot of times, when people say I want to live off income in my retirement, many, many people—and the investment industry does this—immediately translate that to bonds,” says Van Knapp. “One of the breakthrough concepts of this [strategy] is that you can generate equity income.”</p><p>One thing to keep in mind is that by eschewing bonds and focusing solely on stocks, investors are discarding an asset class that can provide important portfolio diversification.</p><p>There are many ways to build a portfolio of dividend stocks, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of which entails assembling a collection of blue-chip issues, as Van Knapp’s portfolio does. Investors, however, need to consider the pros and cons of relying heavily on dividends in retirement—and there’s no shortage of each.</p><p>“If you have a large enough portfolio, then buying a blue-chip amalgamation of companies like Procter &amp; Gamble,Kimberly Clark,and so forth that produces enough income for you—you’re golden,” says Charles Lieberman, chief investment officer at Advisors Capital Management. “The conceptual issue is, do you buy a diversified portfolio and peel off assets on a regular basis in order to get cash, or do you invest for income and live off the income?”</p><p>Many investors and financial advisors favor a total-return approach, in which a saver assembles a portfolio of growth stocks and dividend payers—and often bonds and other asset classes—and sometimes sells off assets in retirement to raise cash. Relying largely on stock dividends in retirement, to them, isn’t a feasible approach to amassing the principal necessary for a retirement that could last 30 years or more.</p><p>“I don’t hear any advisors saying, ‘How do I build a dividend-paying portfolio that is going to cover 100% of my client’s income needs?’ ” says Katherine Roy, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “I just see so many more advisors building diversified portfolios that are oriented toward income, but they are looking for that growth potential, as well.”</p><p>Jaconetti, too, is skeptical, pointing out that stocks with yields of 3% to 4%, though deemed attractive and safe by some investors, can pose a lot of risk, lead to overly concentrated portfolios, and create capital losses.</p><p>“At any given time, there’s no way to say whether growth or value is going to outperform,” Jaconetti adds. “It’s not that you can’t have a lot of diversification within value. But you are most likely underweighting growth. And if growth is outperforming, then you are going to end up underperforming.”</p><p>Still, several of the retirement dividend-investing practitioners<i>Barron’s</i>spoke with believe that it’s possible to actively manage a portfolio of dividend stocks for long-term capital return while minimizing the attendant risks.</p><p>Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings.</p><p>— Retired aerospace engineer Bob Baker, 72</p><p>Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington, CEO and portfolio manager at Gilman Hill Asset Management, aims for a 5% yield plus capital appreciation in the firm’s equity income strategy. “You can get the 5% yield, but it doesn’t come easy or at a superlow cost” that an equity income exchange-traded fund charges, she says. “You need to work for it.”</p><p>She citesVerizon Communications(VZ),<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a>(IBM), andSL Green Realty(SLG) as examples of what she considers sound companies with attractive yields of at least 4.5%.</p><p>Still, she says, relying solely on stock dividends in retirement isn’t for everyone. “It depends on the amount and what your spending is. That’s the equation,” says Harrington.</p><p>Consider, for example, a retiree whose portfolio totals $200,000. A 3% yield on that would produce $6,000 a year—not very much, though it could be supplemented by Social Security or other income, if available.</p><p>A $1.5 million portfolio, at a 3% yield, would generate annual income of $45,000, which, if combined with other sources like Social Security, could be sufficient.</p><p>Higher yields, of course, are alluring to some investors, but they can signal value traps—where a stock that appears cheap can trade at depressed levels or decline for an extended period of time. Such stocks are the subject of much debate in dividend-investing circles, but investors should do their due diligence before deciding whether a high-yielding stock is worth the risk.</p><p>“Only fundamental analysis reveals the real why [for a high yield] and if it’s a temporary dislocation or a real permanent decliner,” says Harrington, who adds that her clients “find emotional comfort in the consistency of those dividends.”</p><p>Ultimately, an income-dependent retirement strategy isn’t foolproof or something to set and forget.</p><p>“It still requires care,” says Lieberman. “Inevitably, there will be downdrafts in the market, and inevitably there will be a company or multiple companies that at some point cut their dividends, so then you have to adapt.”</p><p>Reliable Retirement ReturnsThese are the types of companies that can offer retirees durable dividends and potenial growth.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Company / Ticker</th><th>Recent Price</th><th>Dividend Yield</th><th>Market Value (bil)</th><th>Return Since 1/31/2020</th><th>5-Year Dividend Growth Rate*</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><b>AT&amp;T</b>/ T</td><td>$29.99</td><td>6.9%</td><td>$215.4</td><td>-14.5%</td><td>2%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Coca-Cola</b>/ KO</td><td>51.52</td><td>3.3</td><td>222.0</td><td>-8.0</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><b>Consolidated Edison</b>/ ED</td><td>73.43</td><td>4.2</td><td>25.1</td><td>-17.9</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>International Business Machines</b>/ IBM</td><td>130.62</td><td>5.0</td><td>116.7</td><td>-3.1</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td><b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>/ JNJ</td><td>161.91</td><td>2.5</td><td>426.3</td><td>12.4</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td><b>Kellogg</b>/ K</td><td>62.59</td><td>3.7</td><td>21.3</td><td>-5.7</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>/ PG</td><td>132.56</td><td>2.4</td><td>326.4</td><td>9.0</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>SL Green Realty</b>/ SLG</td><td>70.02</td><td>5.2</td><td>4.9</td><td>-18.5</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>/ USB</td><td>53.47</td><td>3.1</td><td>80.3</td><td>5.0</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td><b>Verizon Communications</b>/ VZ</td><td>57.01</td><td>4.4</td><td>236.6</td><td>0.2</td><td>2</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data as of 3/24/21. *Annualized</p><p>Source: FactSet</p><p>Another factor to consider before pursuing a dividend-focused portfolio for retirement: Not every retiree or saver has the desire, prowess, or time to regularly focus on a stock portfolio.

A concern that many investors have is the company’s hefty debt load.</p><p>Such a high yield can be a reason for investors to exit, but the entertainment, tech, and telecom conglomerate has a long history of paying a dividend—it’s a member of the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—and some analysts like its content library and foray into streaming.</p><p>Company executives are showing their support for the dividend. In a March 12 release outlining the company’s strategy and financial outlook, CEO John Stankey said in part that AT&amp;T is “committed to sustaining the dividend at current levels and utilizing cash after dividends to reduce debt.” Chief Financial Officer John Stephens expressed a similar commitment to the dividend at a conference on March 8. “With $26 billion of free cash flow after [capital expenditure], there’s plenty of money to pay out the dividend,” he said.</p><p>The last time the company declared a quarterly dividend increase occurred in December 2019, more than a year ago, boosting it by a penny, to 52 cents a share. But AT&amp;T looks like it’s on course to at least sustain the dividend.</p><p>Coca-Cola</p><p>In the 1970s,Coca-Cola(KO) ran a series of TV advertisements built around the mantra “Coke adds life.” The beverage behemoth has added a lot of yield over the years, as well, and it continues to do so—with its stock recently yielding 3.3%.</p><p>Coke managed to keep its quarterly dividend at 41 cents a share last year, even though the pandemic took a big toll on restaurants, one of the company’s key sales channels.</p><p>Coke earned an adjusted $1.95 a share in 2020, down from $2.11 the previous year, as sales fell 11%, to $33 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales to rebound this year to $36.7 billion, still below 2019 levels, and for the company to earn $2.14 a share.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4abb2face6ef1f0a3bee7cd44ac2c533\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Coca-Cola maintained its dividend during the pandemic, a testament to its durability even in rough times.GEORGE FREY/BLOOMBERG</p><p>Despite the headwinds, Coke’s board in February declared a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, up by a penny, or 2.4%. The company paid out $7 billion in dividends to shareholders last year—includingBerkshIre Hathaway’sWarren Buffett, who has famously enjoyed the company’s products, and dividends, for years.</p><p>In an investor presentation last month, Coke listed continuing to increase its dividend as its second-highest capital-allocation priority after reinvesting in its businesses.</p><p>The stock is down about 5% this year, dividends included. Still, the company should be a big beneficiary of the economy’s reopening, and its payout history bodes well for the long term.</p><p>Consolidated Edison</p><p>Utilities are often lauded by investors for their durability, resiliency, and big yields. The pandemic has posed a big test for the sector, however, andConsolidated Edison(ED), whose regulated utility footprint includes New York City as well as nearby Westchester and Rockland counties, was no exception.</p><p>The company earned an adjusted $4.18 a share last year, down 5% from $4.38 in 2019, on an operating revenue decline of about 3% to a little more than $12.2 billion.</p><p>Still, ConEd’s “regulated utility distribution business will still contribute over 90% of adjusted earnings over the next five years,” wrote Morningstar analyst Charles Fishman recently.</p><p>Regulated utility businesses are generally regarded as durable and resilient, helping to fuel increases in earnings and dividends.</p><p>ConEd has boosted its dividend for 47 straight years, most recently in January to $3.10 a share annually, up by four cents, or 1.3%. That’s below the 3.5% dividend increases the company has averaged in recent years, Fishman observes, “and we expect this level of increase over the next several years due to the economic impact of Covid-19.”</p><p>But he calls the dividend secure, “considering the conservative strategy of the company’s nonutility businesses and the favorable regulatory framework for its New York utilities.”</p><p>Katz believes that the “stock will probably get a lift as a reopening play and a New York City recovery.”</p><p>IBM</p><p>IBM shares have returned about 5% this year, slightly ahead of the S&amp;P 500, but they’ve been a laggard over longer periods owing to disappointing financial results, including weak revenue growth.</p><p>But the company has been trying to change that. In 2019, for example, IBM acquired Red Hat, which offers customers a hybrid cloud platform, for about $33 billion using a combination of debt and cash. Red Hat’s sales grew 18% on a normalized basis in 2020, CEO Arvind Krishna told analysts in January. That should help solidify the dividend and grow it modestly.</p><p>Gilman Hill’s Harrington sees Red Hat’s “hybrid cloud IT strategies” becoming “an increasingly meaningful driver of total revenue growth” for the company. It’s “a stock everyone loves to hate,” she says, “and, as a result, [it] has been written off.”</p><p>On the plus side, the stock yields 5%, and the company has said that it’s committed to the dividend. IBM earlier this year was admitted to the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—demonstrating the consistency of dividend growth that retirement savers and retirees need for the long haul.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson</p><p>With its diversified mix of businesses, Johnson &amp; Johnson throws off a lot of free cash flow, giving it the wherewithal to maintain its dividend and boost it through thick and thin.</p><p>Case in point: Last April, as the pandemic was forcing many companies to slash or eliminate their dividends, J&amp;J declared a quarterly payout of $1.01 a share, up 6% from 95 cents. This came even as one of its key business units, medical devices, came under pressure as customers put off elective surgeries due to the pandemic.</p><p>Last year, the company, whose businesses also include consumer products and prescription drugs, paid out about $10.5 billion in dividends, or roughly half of its free cash flow.</p><p>Morningstar analyst Damien Conover likes J&amp;J’s “diverse revenue base, a developing research pipeline, and exceptional cash flow generation”—three attributes that should support the dividend and keep it growing.</p><p>Kellogg</p><p>Kellogg(K), whose signature brands include Special K, Rice Krispies, and Pringles, has lagged behind the market this year with a flattish return. But the company’s foundation looks sound, helped by its plant-based proteins under the Morningstar Farms Incogmeato label and others.</p><p>The company notched organic sales growth of 6% in 2020, lifted by gains across all of its regions globally and its four major product categories: snacks, cereal, frozen food, and noodles. That helped offset headwinds that included Covid-19 and divestitures.</p><p>What’s more, Kellogg paid a quarterly dividend of 57 cents a share throughout the pandemic-challenged year, and it plans to boost it by a penny in the second quarter. The stock was recently yielding 3.7%.</p><p>“This means returning more cash to share owners, and it reflects our confidence in the business,” CFO Amit Banati told analysts during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in February.</p><p>The company earned $4.03 a share on an adjusted basis last year, up fractionally from $4 in 2019, and the FactSet consensus for this year is $4.01 a share. It recently fetched 15.3 times its FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate.</p><p>Katz describes Kellogg as a “top-tier consumer-staples company selling at a very attractive valuation.”</p><p>Procter &amp; Gamble</p><p>P&amp;G, a consumer-products giant whose brands include Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper, proved its dividend mettle in 2020.</p><p>Last April, it declared a quarterly payout of 79.07 cents a share, an increase of 6%. The stock yields 2.4%.</p><p>Operating chief Jon Moeller told analysts in January that the company had built momentum before the pandemic. That gave P&amp;G confidence, he said, “to increase our dividend at the highest rate in many years, even as we struggled with new Covid realities.”</p><p>The company ultimately benefited from heady sales of lockdown items such paper towels. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the company to earn $5.70 a share in its current fiscal year, which ends in June, up from $5.12 last year—testament to P&amp;G’s durability and the health of its dividend.</p><p>SL Green Realty</p><p>Real estate investment trusts, which are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends, are popular among income investors. This REIT could prove particularly popular postpandemic.</p><p>SL Green, which owns a lot of high-profile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> office buildings, is down 18.5% since last January, before the pandemic began. The company has been hit as tenants grapple with weak occupancies and many employees continue to work from home a year into the pandemic.</p><p>“People were worried about workers never coming back to work in offices in New York City. I think that’s very unlikely,” says Charles Lieberman of Advisors Capital Management.</p><p>He views SL Green as a good way to play the economy’s reopening. SL Green shares have been on the road to recovery, returning about 15% this year alone. The stock was recently yielding 5.2%.</p><p>In March, in addition to declaring a monthly dividend of 30.33 cents a share, the company issued a special dividend of just under $1.70 a share for a total dividend of $2 a share. However, the special was paid in the form of the company’s stock—though shareholders could ask to be paid fully in cash.</p><p>U.S. Bancorp</p><p>Shares ofU.S. Bancorp(USB) have returned about 15% this year, and around 75% over the past year—and they may have room to run.</p><p>Katz calls it a “top-tier super-regional bank” that’s well capitalized with a strong loan portfolio and good credit quality. “We expect them to fully benefit from an improving economy and a steepening yield curve.”</p><p>The bank has several segments, giving its revenue mix some diversification: corporate and commercial banking; consumer and business banking, wealth management and investments; payment services, including for credit and debit cards; and treasury and other support for companies.</p><p>The stock pays a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, for a yield around 3%. And that’s not all. Even though the stock has a double-digit return this year, it hasn’t done quite as well as peers such asTruist Financial(TFC) andKeyCorp(KEY). “It’s due for a catch-up trade higher,” says Katz.</p><p>Verizon Communications</p><p>The stock, which yields 4.4%, changes hands a reasonable 11 times the $5.06 FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate. That estimate is up 3% from the $4.90 per share earnings last year.</p><p>“Consensus is for low-single digits earnings growth, but we think that will prove too conservative and hasn’t adjusted for management’s revenue-growth guidance,” says Harrington.</p><p>The company’s guidance includes 2%-plus annual service and revenue growth this year and 3%-plus in 2022 and 2023.</p><p>Verizon “should benefit from an improving economy and 5G rollout,” says Katz. He adds that it “can comfortably manage through the cost of the recent and very expensive spectrum auction” for government-issued licenses that allow telecom firms to increase their network capabilities.</p><p>At its investor day earlier in March, Verizon said that it was committed to its dividend, which it listed as its second capital-allocation priority after investing in the business. Verizon’s most recent dividend increase was last September, when it went to 62.75 cents a share, up 2% from 61.5 cents.</p><p>If the company can hold true to its commitment, that should keep the dividend rising and make the stock one that can be relied on for income in retirement.</p>","source":"lsy1604288433698","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His holdings includePepsiCo(ticker: PEP),CVS Health(CVS), andPrudential Financial(PRU)—longtime dividend payers that sport yields well above theS&P 500index’s average of about 1.5%. The yield on the dividend stocks in his portfolio was recently 4.5%.The notion of using dividends in retirement, either as a way to complement other financial assets, as Baker does, or perhaps rely on them for an even larger percentage of income, is drawing plenty of interest these days. Yields on many traditional income investments are now near historical lows, and the onus increasingly is on individuals to secure their postcareer income. The strategy has spawned something of a movement, encompassing investors of all ages and levels of sophistication. There areFacebookgroups devoted to the topic along with blogs, newsletters, books, and various other platforms.But these investors are not yourGameStoptraders or momentum players. They are in many cases diligent investors adopting sound strategies to build a portfolio for the long haul, investing sometimes $100 here or $50 there. They’re more like modern-day moms and pops.“A big appeal of dividends is really that it’s kind of psychologically easier to stay the course,” says Brian Bollinger, who in 2015 founded Simply Safe Dividends, which includes a monthly newsletter and tools for do-it-yourself dividend investors. “You are focusing on building this growing income stream regardless of market conditions.”Indeed, during last year’s pandemic-driven market rout and subsequent strong rally, dividend stocks lagged, and a number of big names cut or suspended their payouts. From when the market reached its prepandemic peak in February 2020 through the end of the year, the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats returned 8.1%, dividends included. Those companies, which have paid out higher dividends for at least 25 straight years, trailed the S&P 500’s 12.7% return over that stretch.Yield ShortageThe yield of a 50-50 portfolio of stocks and bonds, once a reliable source of income for retirees, has dwindledto below 2%.Source: Vanguard%Recessions are shaded4% represents a hypothetical annualportfolio withdrawal rate for a retiree.1994'952000'05'10'15'2012345But last year’s selloff and relative underperformance offered a chance for nimble dividend investors to add to holdings they considered to be undervalued. If you missed out, however, it’s not too late: Below, we identify 10 stocks with solid yields, consistent payouts, and seeming durability.A key force behind the burgeoning interest in retiring on dividends is ultralow interest rates. Even though the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has touched 1.7% in recent days, passing the S&P 500’s average yield, interest rates remain low by historical standards. Other traditional income—generating investments like certificates of deposit and corporate bonds are also trading with historically low yields.“It used to be that retirees could live off the cash flows from a portfolio,” says Colleen Jaconetti, head of investment research at Vanguard Institutional Investor Group. “So, you never really had to think about where it came from.”She points out that in early 1995, a 50-50 stock and bond portfolio yielded a little more than 5%, above the 4% annual portfolio withdrawal rate that some advisors and investors use as a starting framework in retirement. That portfolio’s yield had fallen to 1.4% at the end of 2020.Such paltry yields can make dividend stocks an attractive investment centerpiece for retirees. They can offer nice yields, and unlike fixed bond coupons, dividends can grow to hedge inflation, which many experts expect to tick up.“People generally say that the sweet spot is somewhere between 2.5% and 4.5%” for dividend yields, “and I’m right in the middle of that at 3.6%,” says Dave Van Knapp, an active dividend-growth-investing blogger and investor who relies heavily on dividends in retirement.The 74-year-old Van Knapp, who worked in legal publishing, not only promotes the investment strategy but also shows it in action, posting one of his portfolios on a website called Daily Trade Alert. That portfolio—which had increased more than threefold from when he set it up in 2008, to $151,854 recently—has 28 stocks. They includeJohnson & Johnson(JNJ), PepsiCo, andProcter & Gamble(PG). He uses Social Security and a pension to complement his dividend income streams.“A lot of times, when people say I want to live off income in my retirement, many, many people—and the investment industry does this—immediately translate that to bonds,” says Van Knapp. “One of the breakthrough concepts of this [strategy] is that you can generate equity income.”One thing to keep in mind is that by eschewing bonds and focusing solely on stocks, investors are discarding an asset class that can provide important portfolio diversification.There are many ways to build a portfolio of dividend stocks, one of which entails assembling a collection of blue-chip issues, as Van Knapp’s portfolio does. Investors, however, need to consider the pros and cons of relying heavily on dividends in retirement—and there’s no shortage of each.“If you have a large enough portfolio, then buying a blue-chip amalgamation of companies like Procter & Gamble,Kimberly Clark,and so forth that produces enough income for you—you’re golden,” says Charles Lieberman, chief investment officer at Advisors Capital Management. “The conceptual issue is, do you buy a diversified portfolio and peel off assets on a regular basis in order to get cash, or do you invest for income and live off the income?”Many investors and financial advisors favor a total-return approach, in which a saver assembles a portfolio of growth stocks and dividend payers—and often bonds and other asset classes—and sometimes sells off assets in retirement to raise cash. Relying largely on stock dividends in retirement, to them, isn’t a feasible approach to amassing the principal necessary for a retirement that could last 30 years or more.“I don’t hear any advisors saying, ‘How do I build a dividend-paying portfolio that is going to cover 100% of my client’s income needs?’ ” says Katherine Roy, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “I just see so many more advisors building diversified portfolios that are oriented toward income, but they are looking for that growth potential, as well.”Jaconetti, too, is skeptical, pointing out that stocks with yields of 3% to 4%, though deemed attractive and safe by some investors, can pose a lot of risk, lead to overly concentrated portfolios, and create capital losses.“At any given time, there’s no way to say whether growth or value is going to outperform,” Jaconetti adds. “It’s not that you can’t have a lot of diversification within value. But you are most likely underweighting growth. And if growth is outperforming, then you are going to end up underperforming.”Still, several of the retirement dividend-investing practitionersBarron’sspoke with believe that it’s possible to actively manage a portfolio of dividend stocks for long-term capital return while minimizing the attendant risks.Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings.— Retired aerospace engineer Bob Baker, 72Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington, CEO and portfolio manager at Gilman Hill Asset Management, aims for a 5% yield plus capital appreciation in the firm’s equity income strategy. “You can get the 5% yield, but it doesn’t come easy or at a superlow cost” that an equity income exchange-traded fund charges, she says. “You need to work for it.”She citesVerizon Communications(VZ),IBM(IBM), andSL Green Realty(SLG) as examples of what she considers sound companies with attractive yields of at least 4.5%.Still, she says, relying solely on stock dividends in retirement isn’t for everyone. “It depends on the amount and what your spending is. That’s the equation,” says Harrington.Consider, for example, a retiree whose portfolio totals $200,000. A 3% yield on that would produce $6,000 a year—not very much, though it could be supplemented by Social Security or other income, if available.A $1.5 million portfolio, at a 3% yield, would generate annual income of $45,000, which, if combined with other sources like Social Security, could be sufficient.Higher yields, of course, are alluring to some investors, but they can signal value traps—where a stock that appears cheap can trade at depressed levels or decline for an extended period of time. Such stocks are the subject of much debate in dividend-investing circles, but investors should do their due diligence before deciding whether a high-yielding stock is worth the risk.“Only fundamental analysis reveals the real why [for a high yield] and if it’s a temporary dislocation or a real permanent decliner,” says Harrington, who adds that her clients “find emotional comfort in the consistency of those dividends.”Ultimately, an income-dependent retirement strategy isn’t foolproof or something to set and forget.“It still requires care,” says Lieberman. “Inevitably, there will be downdrafts in the market, and inevitably there will be a company or multiple companies that at some point cut their dividends, so then you have to adapt.”Reliable Retirement ReturnsThese are the types of companies that can offer retirees durable dividends and potenial growth.Company / TickerRecent PriceDividend YieldMarket Value (bil)Return Since 1/31/20205-Year Dividend Growth Rate*AT&T/ T$29.996.9%$215.4-14.5%2%Coca-Cola/ KO51.523.3222.0-8.04Consolidated Edison/ ED73.434.225.1-17.93International Business Machines/ IBM130.625.0116.7-3.15Johnson & Johnson/ JNJ161.912.5426.312.46Kellogg/ K62.593.721.3-5.73Procter & Gamble/ PG132.562.4326.49.03SL Green Realty/ SLG70.025.24.9-18.58U.S. Bancorp/ USB53.473.180.35.011Verizon Communications/ VZ57.014.4236.60.22Data as of 3/24/21. *AnnualizedSource: FactSetAnother factor to consider before pursuing a dividend-focused portfolio for retirement: Not every retiree or saver has the desire, prowess, or time to regularly focus on a stock portfolio. Using mutual funds or a financial advisor can make a lot more sense, their fees notwithstanding.But managing a portfolio of dividend stocks works well for some investors.“The key consideration was to have a comfortable income stream and not have to liquidate any equities in my portfolio to do so,” says Baker, the former aerospace engineer. “I tend to go into my portfolio every day. I’m retired. I have the time, and I enjoy doing it.”Dividend-paying stocks can make a lot of sense for retirees, many of whom face “very difficult investment decisions,” says David Katz, chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors, pointing to low bond yields and rich valuations as major headwinds.Certain dividend stocks, he says, “should allow for a healthy and growing income stream and reasonable portfolio growth over time” while providing some downside protection when needed.Based on input from Katz and other financial pros, as well as our own research,Barron’scame up with a portfolio of 10 dividend-paying stocks that retirees should consider.AT&TAT&T(T) is one of the more-discussed stocks among dividend investors, as its yield, at about 7%, is much higher than most U.S companies. A concern that many investors have is the company’s hefty debt load.Such a high yield can be a reason for investors to exit, but the entertainment, tech, and telecom conglomerate has a long history of paying a dividend—it’s a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—and some analysts like its content library and foray into streaming.Company executives are showing their support for the dividend. In a March 12 release outlining the company’s strategy and financial outlook, CEO John Stankey said in part that AT&T is “committed to sustaining the dividend at current levels and utilizing cash after dividends to reduce debt.” Chief Financial Officer John Stephens expressed a similar commitment to the dividend at a conference on March 8. “With $26 billion of free cash flow after [capital expenditure], there’s plenty of money to pay out the dividend,” he said.The last time the company declared a quarterly dividend increase occurred in December 2019, more than a year ago, boosting it by a penny, to 52 cents a share. But AT&T looks like it’s on course to at least sustain the dividend.Coca-ColaIn the 1970s,Coca-Cola(KO) ran a series of TV advertisements built around the mantra “Coke adds life.” The beverage behemoth has added a lot of yield over the years, as well, and it continues to do so—with its stock recently yielding 3.3%.Coke managed to keep its quarterly dividend at 41 cents a share last year, even though the pandemic took a big toll on restaurants, one of the company’s key sales channels.Coke earned an adjusted $1.95 a share in 2020, down from $2.11 the previous year, as sales fell 11%, to $33 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales to rebound this year to $36.7 billion, still below 2019 levels, and for the company to earn $2.14 a share.Coca-Cola maintained its dividend during the pandemic, a testament to its durability even in rough times.GEORGE FREY/BLOOMBERGDespite the headwinds, Coke’s board in February declared a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, up by a penny, or 2.4%. The company paid out $7 billion in dividends to shareholders last year—includingBerkshIre Hathaway’sWarren Buffett, who has famously enjoyed the company’s products, and dividends, for years.In an investor presentation last month, Coke listed continuing to increase its dividend as its second-highest capital-allocation priority after reinvesting in its businesses.The stock is down about 5% this year, dividends included. Still, the company should be a big beneficiary of the economy’s reopening, and its payout history bodes well for the long term.Consolidated EdisonUtilities are often lauded by investors for their durability, resiliency, and big yields. The pandemic has posed a big test for the sector, however, andConsolidated Edison(ED), whose regulated utility footprint includes New York City as well as nearby Westchester and Rockland counties, was no exception.The company earned an adjusted $4.18 a share last year, down 5% from $4.38 in 2019, on an operating revenue decline of about 3% to a little more than $12.2 billion.Still, ConEd’s “regulated utility distribution business will still contribute over 90% of adjusted earnings over the next five years,” wrote Morningstar analyst Charles Fishman recently.Regulated utility businesses are generally regarded as durable and resilient, helping to fuel increases in earnings and dividends.ConEd has boosted its dividend for 47 straight years, most recently in January to $3.10 a share annually, up by four cents, or 1.3%. That’s below the 3.5% dividend increases the company has averaged in recent years, Fishman observes, “and we expect this level of increase over the next several years due to the economic impact of Covid-19.”But he calls the dividend secure, “considering the conservative strategy of the company’s nonutility businesses and the favorable regulatory framework for its New York utilities.”Katz believes that the “stock will probably get a lift as a reopening play and a New York City recovery.”IBMIBM shares have returned about 5% this year, slightly ahead of the S&P 500, but they’ve been a laggard over longer periods owing to disappointing financial results, including weak revenue growth.But the company has been trying to change that. In 2019, for example, IBM acquired Red Hat, which offers customers a hybrid cloud platform, for about $33 billion using a combination of debt and cash. Red Hat’s sales grew 18% on a normalized basis in 2020, CEO Arvind Krishna told analysts in January. That should help solidify the dividend and grow it modestly.Gilman Hill’s Harrington sees Red Hat’s “hybrid cloud IT strategies” becoming “an increasingly meaningful driver of total revenue growth” for the company. It’s “a stock everyone loves to hate,” she says, “and, as a result, [it] has been written off.”On the plus side, the stock yields 5%, and the company has said that it’s committed to the dividend. IBM earlier this year was admitted to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—demonstrating the consistency of dividend growth that retirement savers and retirees need for the long haul.Johnson & JohnsonWith its diversified mix of businesses, Johnson & Johnson throws off a lot of free cash flow, giving it the wherewithal to maintain its dividend and boost it through thick and thin.Case in point: Last April, as the pandemic was forcing many companies to slash or eliminate their dividends, J&J declared a quarterly payout of $1.01 a share, up 6% from 95 cents. This came even as one of its key business units, medical devices, came under pressure as customers put off elective surgeries due to the pandemic.Last year, the company, whose businesses also include consumer products and prescription drugs, paid out about $10.5 billion in dividends, or roughly half of its free cash flow.Morningstar analyst Damien Conover likes J&J’s “diverse revenue base, a developing research pipeline, and exceptional cash flow generation”—three attributes that should support the dividend and keep it growing.KelloggKellogg(K), whose signature brands include Special K, Rice Krispies, and Pringles, has lagged behind the market this year with a flattish return. But the company’s foundation looks sound, helped by its plant-based proteins under the Morningstar Farms Incogmeato label and others.The company notched organic sales growth of 6% in 2020, lifted by gains across all of its regions globally and its four major product categories: snacks, cereal, frozen food, and noodles. That helped offset headwinds that included Covid-19 and divestitures.What’s more, Kellogg paid a quarterly dividend of 57 cents a share throughout the pandemic-challenged year, and it plans to boost it by a penny in the second quarter. The stock was recently yielding 3.7%.“This means returning more cash to share owners, and it reflects our confidence in the business,” CFO Amit Banati told analysts during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in February.The company earned $4.03 a share on an adjusted basis last year, up fractionally from $4 in 2019, and the FactSet consensus for this year is $4.01 a share. It recently fetched 15.3 times its FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate.Katz describes Kellogg as a “top-tier consumer-staples company selling at a very attractive valuation.”Procter & GambleP&G, a consumer-products giant whose brands include Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper, proved its dividend mettle in 2020.Last April, it declared a quarterly payout of 79.07 cents a share, an increase of 6%. The stock yields 2.4%.Operating chief Jon Moeller told analysts in January that the company had built momentum before the pandemic. That gave P&G confidence, he said, “to increase our dividend at the highest rate in many years, even as we struggled with new Covid realities.”The company ultimately benefited from heady sales of lockdown items such paper towels. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the company to earn $5.70 a share in its current fiscal year, which ends in June, up from $5.12 last year—testament to P&G’s durability and the health of its dividend.SL Green RealtyReal estate investment trusts, which are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends, are popular among income investors. This REIT could prove particularly popular postpandemic.SL Green, which owns a lot of high-profile Manhattan office buildings, is down 18.5% since last January, before the pandemic began. The company has been hit as tenants grapple with weak occupancies and many employees continue to work from home a year into the pandemic.“People were worried about workers never coming back to work in offices in New York City. I think that’s very unlikely,” says Charles Lieberman of Advisors Capital Management.He views SL Green as a good way to play the economy’s reopening. SL Green shares have been on the road to recovery, returning about 15% this year alone. The stock was recently yielding 5.2%.In March, in addition to declaring a monthly dividend of 30.33 cents a share, the company issued a special dividend of just under $1.70 a share for a total dividend of $2 a share. However, the special was paid in the form of the company’s stock—though shareholders could ask to be paid fully in cash.U.S. BancorpShares ofU.S. Bancorp(USB) have returned about 15% this year, and around 75% over the past year—and they may have room to run.Katz calls it a “top-tier super-regional bank” that’s well capitalized with a strong loan portfolio and good credit quality. “We expect them to fully benefit from an improving economy and a steepening yield curve.”The bank has several segments, giving its revenue mix some diversification: corporate and commercial banking; consumer and business banking, wealth management and investments; payment services, including for credit and debit cards; and treasury and other support for companies.The stock pays a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, for a yield around 3%. And that’s not all. Even though the stock has a double-digit return this year, it hasn’t done quite as well as peers such asTruist Financial(TFC) andKeyCorp(KEY). “It’s due for a catch-up trade higher,” says Katz.Verizon CommunicationsThe stock, which yields 4.4%, changes hands a reasonable 11 times the $5.06 FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate. That estimate is up 3% from the $4.90 per share earnings last year.“Consensus is for low-single digits earnings growth, but we think that will prove too conservative and hasn’t adjusted for management’s revenue-growth guidance,” says Harrington.The company’s guidance includes 2%-plus annual service and revenue growth this year and 3%-plus in 2022 and 2023.Verizon “should benefit from an improving economy and 5G rollout,” says Katz. He adds that it “can comfortably manage through the cost of the recent and very expensive spectrum auction” for government-issued licenses that allow telecom firms to increase their network capabilities.At its investor day earlier in March, Verizon said that it was committed to its dividend, which it listed as its second capital-allocation priority after investing in the business. Verizon’s most recent dividend increase was last September, when it went to 62.75 cents a share, up 2% from 61.5 cents.If the company can hold true to its commitment, that should keep the dividend rising and make the stock one that can be relied on for income in retirement.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":251,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354241623,"gmtCreate":1617182420062,"gmtModify":1704696893105,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354241623","repostId":"1196818239","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196818239","pubTimestamp":1617181590,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196818239?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-31 17:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"President Biden will unveil his $2 trillion infrastructure plan today – here are the details","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196818239","media":"cnbc","summary":"President Joe Biden will unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package on Wednesday.The plan aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water systems, broadband and manufacturing, among other goals.An increase in the corporate tax rate to 28% and measures designed to prevent offshoring of profits will fund the spending, according to the White House.PresidentJoe Bidenwill unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday as his administra","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nPresident Joe Biden will unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package on Wednesday.\nThe plan aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/biden-infrastructure-plan-includes-corporate-tax-hike-transportation-spending.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;

The administration aims to approve a first proposal designed to create jobs, revamp U.S. infrastructure and fight climate change before it turns toward a second plan to improve education and expand paid leave and health-care coverage.\nThrough the plan announced Wednesday, the White House aims to show it can “revitalize our national imagination and put millions of Americans to work right now,” the administration official said.\nThe White House plans to fund the spending by raising the corporate tax rate to 28%. Republicans slashed the levy to 21% from 35% as part of their 2017 tax law.\nThe administration also aims to boost the global minimum tax for multinational corporations and ensure they pay at least 21%. The White House also aims to discourage firms from listing tax havens as their address and writing off expenses related to offshoring, among other reforms.\nBiden hopes the package will create manufacturing jobs and rescue failing American infrastructure as the country tries to emerge from the shadow of Covid-19. He and congressional Democrats also aim to combat climate change and start a transition to cleaner energy sources.\nThe president was set to announce his plans in Pittsburgh, a city where organized labor has a strong presence and the economy has undergone a shift from traditional manufacturing and mining to health care and technology. Biden, who has pledged to create union jobs as part of the infrastructure plan, launched his presidential campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in 2019.\nWhile Democrats narrowly control both chambers of Congress, the party faces challenges in passing the infrastructure plan. The GOP broadly supports efforts to rebuild roads, bridges and airports and expand broadband access, but Republicans oppose tax hikes as part of the process.\n“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called infrastructure proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said earlier this month.\nBiden has said he hopes to win Republican support for an infrastructure bill. If Democrats cannot get 10 GOP senators on board, they will have to try to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would not require any Republicans to back the plan in a chamber split 50-50 by party.\nThey would also have to consider whether to package the physical infrastructure plans with other recovery policies including universal pre-K and expanded paid leave. Republicans likely would not back more spending to boost the social safety net, especially if Democrats move to hike taxes on the wealthy to fund programs.\nThe administration official did not say whether Biden would seek to pass the plan with bipartisan support.\n“We will begin and will already have begun to do extensive outreach to our counterparts in Congress,” the official said.\nAsked Monday about how the bill could pass, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the mechanics of bill passing to [Senate Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer and other leaders in Congress.”\nAs of now, Democrats will have two more shots at budget reconciliation before the 2022 midterms. Schumer, D-N.Y., hopes to convince the chamber’s parliamentarian to allow Democrats to use the process at least once more beyond those two opportunities, according to NBC News.\nThe party passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package without a Republican vote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366266384,"gmtCreate":1614490561148,"gmtModify":1704772062507,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Too much volatility","listText":"Too much volatility","text":"Too much volatility","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366266384","repostId":"1146313632","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146313632","pubTimestamp":1614334339,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146313632?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 18:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Gamestop And High Volatility Options","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146313632","media":"Options AI: Learn","summary":"Gamestop Corp. shares have soared the past few days with the stock up nearly 200% at one point from ","content":"<p><b>Gamestop Corp.</b>&nbsp;shares have soared the past few days with the stock up nearly 200% at one point from last week (but still down significantly from recent short squeeze highs). We'll look at the unique situations that arise in the options of a highly volatile stock like Gamestop and a few things that might be considered before trading options.</p><hr><p><b>Gamestop: The Expected Move</b></p><p>First, a look at how options are pricing upcoming moves. Here's theOptions AIexpected move chart for Gamestop, with a nearly 30% move being priced into this Friday's close. And a roughly 80% move being priced for the next month. A month that includes an earnings event (unconfirmed):</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e35872724d8db887fa09d822d622ac8c\" tg-width=\"568\" tg-height=\"817\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Gamestop: Call Spreads vs Outright Calls</p><p>Using March 19th as an expiry we first looks at bullish spreads, and compare directly to outright calls. With a stock as volatile as Gamestop, calls can be expensive. Because of that, many traders resort to buying far out of the money calls. That demand for upside calls increases volatility in those calls, making them expensive relative to at-the-money calls – a phenomenon known as skew. However, for those that are bullish, this may create an opportunity to utilize spreads rather than buying an outright call. Let's see how.</p><p>Here we'll focus on one alternative – using debit spreads to lower the overall cost of a directional trade (while potentially improving the probability of profit of the trade itself by lowering the breakeven level). It does so by selling those relatively expensive out-the-money Calls to help finance the purchase of a nearer to at-the-money Call.</p><p>With Gamestop near $105, the&nbsp;<b>March 19th 110/190 Debit Call Spread</b>&nbsp;is roughly $15 and targets the bullish expected move for March 19th. The debit call spread would need the stock to be above $125 on March 19th to be profitable.</p><p>As a comparison, the GME March 19th 200 calls are trading $29. That's nearly twice the cost for a 200 call that needs the stock above $229 by March 19th… versus a call spread, that needs the stock above $125. Here's a side by side comparison of those two trades on the Options AI chart. First, the 200 call:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b044a22bfbe5a8326f9aa3ebf56ed4fd\" tg-width=\"570\" tg-height=\"740\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>And next, the 145/200 debit call spread:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cdf8545f07da48f770ef81cb4e5ac53\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"792\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>As you can see, not only is the call spread less expensive, the point at which is becomes profitable to the upside is much closer to where the stock is currently trading. (As indicated by the grey price of the breakeven.)</p><p>A note on probability of profit. The probability of profit displayed on these trades is based on the delta being assigned to the breakeven of the trade. The fact that a 200 call in a $105 stock is trading near 50 deltas shows just how distorting an effect Gamestop volatility is having on its options (hard to borrow, skew, retail demand for out-of-the-money calls).</p><p>Directional Butterflies vs Outright Puts</p><p>High volatility also affects bearish options trades. One of the counter-intuitive aspects of a high volatility stock like Gamestop is that its implied volatility can go up as the stock goes higher and down as the stock goes lower. This is the opposite of how we generally think about volatility. Therefore, buying outright puts carries a risk of collapsing volatility (and therefore collapsing premiums) as the stock goes lower. So, even though the stock is moving in the intended direction, as an option holder you may not be realizing the gains expected.</p><p>One way to counter high implied volatility in a stock, especially when having a bearish view, is to be a net seller of option premium. To sell to bullish option traders rather than join bearish option traders. Traditionally that might take the form of selling a Credit Call Spread.

We'll look at the unique situations that arise in the options of a highly volatile stock like Gamestop and a few things that might be considered before trading options.Gamestop: The Expected MoveFirst, a look at how options are pricing upcoming moves. Here's theOptions AIexpected move chart for Gamestop, with a nearly 30% move being priced into this Friday's close. And a roughly 80% move being priced for the next month. A month that includes an earnings event (unconfirmed):Gamestop: Call Spreads vs Outright CallsUsing March 19th as an expiry we first looks at bullish spreads, and compare directly to outright calls. With a stock as volatile as Gamestop, calls can be expensive. Because of that, many traders resort to buying far out of the money calls. That demand for upside calls increases volatility in those calls, making them expensive relative to at-the-money calls – a phenomenon known as skew. However, for those that are bullish, this may create an opportunity to utilize spreads rather than buying an outright call. Let's see how.Here we'll focus on one alternative – using debit spreads to lower the overall cost of a directional trade (while potentially improving the probability of profit of the trade itself by lowering the breakeven level). It does so by selling those relatively expensive out-the-money Calls to help finance the purchase of a nearer to at-the-money Call.With Gamestop near $105, the March 19th 110/190 Debit Call Spread is roughly $15 and targets the bullish expected move for March 19th. The debit call spread would need the stock to be above $125 on March 19th to be profitable.As a comparison, the GME March 19th 200 calls are trading $29. That's nearly twice the cost for a 200 call that needs the stock above $229 by March 19th… versus a call spread, that needs the stock above $125. Here's a side by side comparison of those two trades on the Options AI chart. First, the 200 call:And next, the 145/200 debit call spread:As you can see, not only is the call spread less expensive, the point at which is becomes profitable to the upside is much closer to where the stock is currently trading. (As indicated by the grey price of the breakeven.)A note on probability of profit. The probability of profit displayed on these trades is based on the delta being assigned to the breakeven of the trade. The fact that a 200 call in a $105 stock is trading near 50 deltas shows just how distorting an effect Gamestop volatility is having on its options (hard to borrow, skew, retail demand for out-of-the-money calls).Directional Butterflies vs Outright PutsHigh volatility also affects bearish options trades. One of the counter-intuitive aspects of a high volatility stock like Gamestop is that its implied volatility can go up as the stock goes higher and down as the stock goes lower. This is the opposite of how we generally think about volatility. Therefore, buying outright puts carries a risk of collapsing volatility (and therefore collapsing premiums) as the stock goes lower. So, even though the stock is moving in the intended direction, as an option holder you may not be realizing the gains expected.One way to counter high implied volatility in a stock, especially when having a bearish view, is to be a net seller of option premium. To sell to bullish option traders rather than join bearish option traders. Traditionally that might take the form of selling a Credit Call Spread. But in GME's case that means buying the (expensive) upper strike Call at a higher volatility than the Call that is closer to the money (as described above).So, one option strategy that can be considered by traders is using a Butterfly. An option trade that is more typically associated with a neutral trading view, but here adapted to actually create a targeted (bearish) directional view.Here, as an example, is a Butterfly with its center strikes focused at $80 in the stock, with a March 19th expiry:This 130/80/30 butterfly has breakevens of 115 and 45, meaning the trade is profitable if the stock is between those two prices at March 19th expiry… with a max gain occurring if the stock is at or near $80. It has the additional dynamic of being short premium, and if the stock stays within its range would see mark to market gains if implied volatility compressed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":436,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":369823118,"gmtCreate":1614028977834,"gmtModify":1704887061337,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait for lower?","listText":"Wait for lower?","text":"Wait for lower?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/369823118","repostId":"1100241886","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100241886","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1613990937,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100241886?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-22 18:48","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin slips sharply from record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100241886","media":"Reuters","summary":"Bitcoin fell sharply on Monday after surging to a record $58,354 a day earlier, as a selloff in glob","content":"<p>Bitcoin fell sharply on Monday after surging to a record $58,354 a day earlier, as a selloff in global equities curbed risk appetite.</p>\n<p>The most popular cryptocurrency rallied over the weekend to record levels, almost doubling year-to-date.

A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.</p>\n<p>The median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.</p>\n<p>Robo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p><b>Robo investing as a self-driving car</b></p>\n<p>Consumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.</p>\n<p>So what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.</p>\n<p>You put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.</p>\n<p>Robo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.</p>\n<p>There are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.</p>\n<p>And rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.</p>\n<p>Cynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.</p>\n<p>As she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”</p>\n<p><b>Robos appeal to inexperienced investors</b></p>\n<p>Robo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.</p>\n<p>That makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.</p>\n<p>“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”</p>\n<p>That said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”</p>\n<p>Others disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.</p>\n<p>“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.</p>\n<p><b>There is often no door to knock on</b></p>\n<p>Your robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.</p>\n<p>It won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.</p>\n<p>“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.</p>\n<p>Not all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.</p>\n<p>Additionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.</p>\n<p>For instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses. Traditional advisers often specialize in constructing portfolios that lead to the most tax-efficient outcomes, said Ma, who is the author of “Work Your Money, Not Your Life”.</p>\n<p>But with robo investing, the trades that are made for you are the same ones that are being made for a slew of other investors who may fall under a different tax-bracket than you.</p>\n<p>On top of that, while robo investing may feel like a simplistic way to get into investing, especially for beginners it can “overcomplicate investing,” Ma said.</p>\n<p>“If you are just looking to dip your toe in and you want to feel like you’re invested in a diversified portfolio, I wouldn’t say definitely don’t do a robo adviser,” he said.</p>\n<p>Don’t rule out investing through a target-date fund that selects a single fund to invest in and adjusts the position over time based on their investment goals, he added.</p>\n<p>But not everyone can tell the difference between robo advice and advice from a human being. In 2015, MarketWatch asked four prominent robo advisers and four of the traditional, flesh-and-blood variety to construct portfolios for a hypothetical 35-year-old investor with $40,000 to invest.</p>\n<p>The results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Goldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGoldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-19 19:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page><strong>Marketwatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161529893","content_text":"‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become increasingly ubiquitous on practically every brokerage platform. Until Tuesday, Goldman Sachs GS, -0.91% restricted its robo-advisory service, Marcus, to people who had at least $10 million to invest.\nNow anyone with at least $1,000 to invest in can access the same trading algorithms that have been used by some of Goldman Sachs’ wealthiest clients for a 0.35% annual advisory fee. But investing experts say there are more costs to consider before jumping on the robo-investing train.\n“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.\nAlthough the 35 basis-point price tag is a “loss leader” to Goldman Sachs, he said companies typically make such offers in order to attract clients to cross-sell them banking products.\n“People forget that banks are ultimately in the business of making money,” he said.\nGoldman Sachs declined to comment.\nThe company is among other major financial-services firms offering digital advisers, including Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab SCHW, +1.03% and startups such as Betterment and Wealthfront.\nFees for robo advisers can start at around 0.25%, and increase to 1% and above for traditional brokers. A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.\nThe median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.\nRobo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.\nRobo investing as a self-driving car\nConsumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.\nThe rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.\nSo what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.\nYou put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.\nRobo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.\nThere are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.\nAnd rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.\nCynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.\nAs she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”\nRobos appeal to inexperienced investors\nRobo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.\nThat makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.\n“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”\nThat said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”\nOthers disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.\n“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.\nThere is often no door to knock on\nYour robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.\nIt won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.\n“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.\nNot all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.\nAdditionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.\nFor instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses. Traditional advisers often specialize in constructing portfolios that lead to the most tax-efficient outcomes, said Ma, who is the author of “Work Your Money, Not Your Life”.\nBut with robo investing, the trades that are made for you are the same ones that are being made for a slew of other investors who may fall under a different tax-bracket than you.\nOn top of that, while robo investing may feel like a simplistic way to get into investing, especially for beginners it can “overcomplicate investing,” Ma said.\n“If you are just looking to dip your toe in and you want to feel like you’re invested in a diversified portfolio, I wouldn’t say definitely don’t do a robo adviser,” he said.\nDon’t rule out investing through a target-date fund that selects a single fund to invest in and adjusts the position over time based on their investment goals, he added.\nBut not everyone can tell the difference between robo advice and advice from a human being.

Despite the drop in some of the big tech names such as AppleAAPL, FacebookFB, MicrosoftMSFT, Zoom VideoZM, and countless others this week, the market fundamentals remain relatively strong.</p><p>Ebbs and flows, as well as pullbacks and corrections are healthy aspects of the market. And they need not be viewed as anything but normal occurrences, especially as strong earnings results continue to pour in. Better yet, the outlook for the first quarter and the rest of 2021 has improved significantly.</p><p>Vaccine distribution will hopefully help the economy roar back by the summer and lift some of the hardest-hit areas of the economy. Meanwhile, Wall Street is banking on more spending under the Biden administration and the Fed remains firmly committed to keeping interest rates low.</p><p>All of these factors set up a bullish outlook for 2021. But instead of focusing on companies that need a vaccine to really grow, let’s look at two tech stocks that have posted big sales growth during the pandemic and are ready to expand for years within futuristic industries…</p><p><b>NIO Inc.NIO</b></p><p>Every major automaker, from FordFto Volvo, is racing to roll out more electric vehicles as they try to catch TeslaTSLA. Luckily for investors, the EV market is far from a zero-sum game and newcomers continue to enter the space. Chinese EV maker NIO is a rising star in the booming market, as its sales continue to grow. The company is also focused on autonomous driving tech, as well as batteries, which are the lifeblood of the industry.</p><p>NIO sells multiple models that are somewhat in-line with Tesla, from smaller SUVs to sedans. The company said in early January that it delivered 17,353 vehicles in the fourth quarter, which marked a 110% jump.</p><p>Overall, NIO’s full-year deliveries surged 113% to nearly 44,000 vehicles in 2020. And its January 2021 figures were even more impressive, with deliveries up 350% from the year-ago period to push its overall cumulative deliveries to 83K.</p><p>With this in mind, Zacks estimates call for NIO’s FY20 revenue to jump 120% to $2.49 billion, with FY21 projected to come in another 97% higher to reach $4.89 billion. The Chinese EV company is also expected to significantly shrink its adjusted losses during this stretch.</p><p>NIO has topped our EPS estimates in the trailing two periods and its positive earnings revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) heading into the release of its Q4 results on March 1.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b6233d1784a5cb7db62b437f7632a3f\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>NIO, which rocks an “A” grade for Growth in our Style Scores system, has seen its stock skyrocket over 1,000% in the last year and 300% in the past six months. Luckily for investors who missed the ride, NIO has cooled down, up only 12% in the last three months.</p><p>At roughly $55 per share, it’s down about 13% from its late January records. The recent downturn has seen it fall from overbought in terms of the Relative Strength Index to around 45—an RSI above 70 is often regarded as overbought, with any number below 30 considered oversold.</p><p>NIO’s recent price performance could give it room to run if it’s able to impress Wall Street. And the stock jumped over 1% through morning trading Friday, as it bounces off its 50-day moving average. NIO shares also trade at a discount compared to other high-flyers at 12.7X forward sales, which marks a discount against Tesla’s 15.5X and comes in 25% below its own six-months highs.</p><p>Three out of the nine brokerage recommendations that Zacks has for NIO come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none below a “Hold.” NIO might be worth buying as a long-term play that’s far less expensive than Tesla ($784 a share), in a world where EVs already accounted for over 30% of Volvo’s new car sales in Europe in 2020. And let’s remember that China is one of the world’s largest EV markets.</p><p><b>CrowdStrikeCRWD</b></p><p>CrowdStrike is a cloud-focused cybersecurity firm that utilizes machine learning and AI to protect endpoints and cloud workloads. This is crucial in the cloud age that’s full of rapidly expanding endpoints, which include laptops, desktops, smartphones, IoT devices, and more.</p><p>Remote work and schooling pushed this area of the ever-growing cybersecurity space to the forefront, but it was already booming. More importantly, as devices proliferate and our digitally-connected world grows more complex, it becomes more vulnerable.</p><p>CrowdStrike on February announced plans to bolster its offerings through the acquisition of Humio for $400 million—expected to close in the first quarter. Humio provides high-performance cloud log management and observability technology. The deal is set to “further expand its eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities by ingesting and correlating data from any log, application or feed to deliver actionable insights and real-time protection.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f684cfbac7ba46e2cf8ab6e063461a2\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"280\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>CrowdStrike, which went public in the summer of 2019, has soared nearly 280% in the past 12 months. More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.</p><p>The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.</p><p>CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”</p><p>Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.</p><p>In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.</p><p>CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.</p><p><b>These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic</b>The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits.

Despite the drop in some of the big tech names such as AppleAAPL, FacebookFB, MicrosoftMSFT, Zoom VideoZM, and countless others this week, the market fundamentals remain relatively strong.Ebbs and flows, as well as pullbacks and corrections are healthy aspects of the market. And they need not be viewed as anything but normal occurrences, especially as strong earnings results continue to pour in. Better yet, the outlook for the first quarter and the rest of 2021 has improved significantly.Vaccine distribution will hopefully help the economy roar back by the summer and lift some of the hardest-hit areas of the economy. Meanwhile, Wall Street is banking on more spending under the Biden administration and the Fed remains firmly committed to keeping interest rates low.All of these factors set up a bullish outlook for 2021. But instead of focusing on companies that need a vaccine to really grow, let’s look at two tech stocks that have posted big sales growth during the pandemic and are ready to expand for years within futuristic industries…NIO Inc.NIOEvery major automaker, from FordFto Volvo, is racing to roll out more electric vehicles as they try to catch TeslaTSLA. Luckily for investors, the EV market is far from a zero-sum game and newcomers continue to enter the space. Chinese EV maker NIO is a rising star in the booming market, as its sales continue to grow. The company is also focused on autonomous driving tech, as well as batteries, which are the lifeblood of the industry.NIO sells multiple models that are somewhat in-line with Tesla, from smaller SUVs to sedans. The company said in early January that it delivered 17,353 vehicles in the fourth quarter, which marked a 110% jump.Overall, NIO’s full-year deliveries surged 113% to nearly 44,000 vehicles in 2020. And its January 2021 figures were even more impressive, with deliveries up 350% from the year-ago period to push its overall cumulative deliveries to 83K.With this in mind, Zacks estimates call for NIO’s FY20 revenue to jump 120% to $2.49 billion, with FY21 projected to come in another 97% higher to reach $4.89 billion. The Chinese EV company is also expected to significantly shrink its adjusted losses during this stretch.NIO has topped our EPS estimates in the trailing two periods and its positive earnings revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) heading into the release of its Q4 results on March 1.NIO, which rocks an “A” grade for Growth in our Style Scores system, has seen its stock skyrocket over 1,000% in the last year and 300% in the past six months. Luckily for investors who missed the ride, NIO has cooled down, up only 12% in the last three months.At roughly $55 per share, it’s down about 13% from its late January records. The recent downturn has seen it fall from overbought in terms of the Relative Strength Index to around 45—an RSI above 70 is often regarded as overbought, with any number below 30 considered oversold.NIO’s recent price performance could give it room to run if it’s able to impress Wall Street. And the stock jumped over 1% through morning trading Friday, as it bounces off its 50-day moving average. NIO shares also trade at a discount compared to other high-flyers at 12.7X forward sales, which marks a discount against Tesla’s 15.5X and comes in 25% below its own six-months highs.Three out of the nine brokerage recommendations that Zacks has for NIO come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none below a “Hold.” NIO might be worth buying as a long-term play that’s far less expensive than Tesla ($784 a share), in a world where EVs already accounted for over 30% of Volvo’s new car sales in Europe in 2020. And let’s remember that China is one of the world’s largest EV markets.CrowdStrikeCRWDCrowdStrike is a cloud-focused cybersecurity firm that utilizes machine learning and AI to protect endpoints and cloud workloads. This is crucial in the cloud age that’s full of rapidly expanding endpoints, which include laptops, desktops, smartphones, IoT devices, and more.Remote work and schooling pushed this area of the ever-growing cybersecurity space to the forefront, but it was already booming. More importantly, as devices proliferate and our digitally-connected world grows more complex, it becomes more vulnerable.CrowdStrike on February announced plans to bolster its offerings through the acquisition of Humio for $400 million—expected to close in the first quarter. Humio provides high-performance cloud log management and observability technology. The deal is set to “further expand its eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities by ingesting and correlating data from any log, application or feed to deliver actionable insights and real-time protection.”CrowdStrike, which went public in the summer of 2019, has soared nearly 280% in the past 12 months. More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the PandemicThe COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360330379,"gmtCreate":1613827270291,"gmtModify":1704885383477,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360330379","repostId":"1143100356","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143100356","pubTimestamp":1613792715,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143100356?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-20 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Top Tech Stocks to Buy Now for Big Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143100356","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq slipped during the week of February 15, after they closed at new records last week.

And its January 2021 figures were even more impressive, with deliveries up 350% from the year-ago period to push its overall cumulative deliveries to 83K.With this in mind, Zacks estimates call for NIO’s FY20 revenue to jump 120% to $2.49 billion, with FY21 projected to come in another 97% higher to reach $4.89 billion. The Chinese EV company is also expected to significantly shrink its adjusted losses during this stretch.NIO has topped our EPS estimates in the trailing two periods and its positive earnings revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) heading into the release of its Q4 results on March 1.NIO, which rocks an “A” grade for Growth in our Style Scores system, has seen its stock skyrocket over 1,000% in the last year and 300% in the past six months. Luckily for investors who missed the ride, NIO has cooled down, up only 12% in the last three months.At roughly $55 per share, it’s down about 13% from its late January records. The recent downturn has seen it fall from overbought in terms of the Relative Strength Index to around 45—an RSI above 70 is often regarded as overbought, with any number below 30 considered oversold.NIO’s recent price performance could give it room to run if it’s able to impress Wall Street. And the stock jumped over 1% through morning trading Friday, as it bounces off its 50-day moving average. NIO shares also trade at a discount compared to other high-flyers at 12.7X forward sales, which marks a discount against Tesla’s 15.5X and comes in 25% below its own six-months highs.Three out of the nine brokerage recommendations that Zacks has for NIO come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none below a “Hold.” NIO might be worth buying as a long-term play that’s far less expensive than Tesla ($784 a share), in a world where EVs already accounted for over 30% of Volvo’s new car sales in Europe in 2020. And let’s remember that China is one of the world’s largest EV markets.CrowdStrikeCRWDCrowdStrike is a cloud-focused cybersecurity firm that utilizes machine learning and AI to protect endpoints and cloud workloads. This is crucial in the cloud age that’s full of rapidly expanding endpoints, which include laptops, desktops, smartphones, IoT devices, and more.Remote work and schooling pushed this area of the ever-growing cybersecurity space to the forefront, but it was already booming. More importantly, as devices proliferate and our digitally-connected world grows more complex, it becomes more vulnerable.CrowdStrike on February announced plans to bolster its offerings through the acquisition of Humio for $400 million—expected to close in the first quarter. Humio provides high-performance cloud log management and observability technology. The deal is set to “further expand its eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities by ingesting and correlating data from any log, application or feed to deliver actionable insights and real-time protection.”CrowdStrike, which went public in the summer of 2019, has soared nearly 280% in the past 12 months. More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the PandemicThe COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385209899,"gmtCreate":1613551269911,"gmtModify":1704881894377,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385209899","repostId":"1168862133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168862133","pubTimestamp":1613024272,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168862133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-11 14:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168862133","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat","content":"<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now. This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.</p>\n<p>For the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “<i>living from paycheck to paycheck</i>”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

The conglomerate also revealed three new buys that it snapped up in secret.Berkshire bought stock in Verizon Communications Inc., insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Cos. and Chevron Corp., bets that were granted confidential status and not revealed in a third-quarter regulatory filing, according to an updated document released Tuesday. The news of the investments sent the shares of those three companies up in after-market trading.The Apple stake reduction left Berkshire with a holding valued at about $120 billion at the end of 2020, according to another filing. The iPhone maker remains Berkshire’s biggest single stock holding.Buffett and his investment deputies, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, reshaped the portfolio over the last year as the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S. The company was heavily invested in the banking sector, which has done well in the pandemic but is exposed to consumer finances and commercial real estate. The conglomerate has spent recent months lightening up on some of those lenders, while maintaining bets on firms such as Bank of America Corp.Berkshire cut a few bank holdings, exiting JPMorgan Chase & Co., PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and M&T Bank Corp. while slashing its Wells Fargo & Co. stake by 59%. The company also shifted recent bets on drugmakers by increasing a stake in Merck & Co Inc., Abbvie Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. It ended a recent investment in Pfizer Inc.Berkshire exited a bet on Barrick Gold Corp. The investment was a surprise when it was revealed last year, given Buffett’s years of chiding the precious metal. The company also trimmed an investment in General Motors Co., cutting that holding to a stake valued at roughly $3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter.Some of the new stakes were sizable. Berkshire held an investment in Chevron valued at nearly $4.1 billion at the end of 2020, while its Marsh & McLennan bet was valued at $499 million.

We expect a 3.6% decline in national single-family housing starts,\" Nomura economist Lewis Alexander wrote in a note. \"That said, a broad-based rise in permits for new single-family homes in December suggests the slowdown in January should be temporary.\"Permits, which serve as a gauge of future homebuilding, are expected to drop by 2.1% after a 4.2% jump in December, which had also brought permits to the highest level since 2006.Existing home sales, due out from the National Association of Realtors on Friday, is also expected to show a drop compared to December, as winter weather compounded with mounting affordability and supply pressures pull down buyer activity.\"Pending home sales, contract signings that lead existing home sales (contract closings), have remained relative weak with four consecutive monthly declines starting in September,\" Alexander added. \"While remaining at an elevated level, supply shortages and affordability concerns amid rapid home price appreciation appear to be weighing on sales.\"Earnings CalendarMonday:N/ATuesday:CVS (CVS), Advance Auto Parts (AAP), Palantir (PLTR) before market open; Avis Budget Group (CAR), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Devon Energy Corporation (DVN), American International Group (AIG) after market closeWednesday:Hilton Worldwide (HLT), Shopify (SHOP) before market open; Boston Beer Company (SAM), Twilio (TWLO), Marathon Oil (MRO), The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) after market closeThursday:Walmart (WMT), Marriott (MAR) before market open; Applied Materials (AMAT), Planet Fitness (PLNT), Dropbox (DBX), TripAdvisor (TRIP), Roku (ROKU) after market closeFriday:Deere (DE) before market openEconomic CalendarMonday:N/ATuesday:Empire Manufacturing, February (6.0 expected, 3.5 in January); Total Net TIC Flows, December ($214.1 billion in November); Net Long-Term TIC Flows, December ($149.2 billion in November)Wednesday:MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended February 12 (-4.1% during prior week); Producer Price Index, month-over-month, January (0.2% expected, 0.1% in December); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, January (0.2% expected, 0.1% in December); Producer Price Index, year-over-year, January (0.8% expected, 0.8% in November); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy, year-over-year, January (1.1% expected, 1.2% in December); Retail Sales advance, month-over-month, January (0.9% expected, -0.7% in December); Retail Sales excluding autos and gas, month-over-month, January (0.9% expected, -1.4% in December); Industrial Production month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, 1.6% in December); Capacity Utilization, January (74.9% expected, 74.5% in December); NAHB Housing Market Index, February (83 expected, 83 in January); FOMC Meeting MinutesThursday:Housing starts, January (1.650 million expected, 1.669 million in December); Building Permits, January (1.670 million expected, 1.704 million in December); Initial jobless claims, week ended February 13 (793,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Feb. 6 (4.545 million during prior week); Import Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.0% expected, 0.9% in December); Export Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.0% expected, 1.1% in December)Friday:Markit US Manufacturing PMI, February preliminary (58.8 expected, 59.2 in January); Markit US Composite PMI, February preliminary (58.7 in January); Markit U.S. Services PMI, February preliminary (57.8 expected, 58.3 in January); Existing home sales, January (6.55 million expected, 6.76 million in December)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":382933269,"gmtCreate":1613345031151,"gmtModify":1704879931956,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3573187894762433","idStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/382933269","repostId":"1168862133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168862133","pubTimestamp":1613024272,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168862133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-11 14:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168862133","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat","content":"<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now. This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.</p>\n<p>For the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “<i>living from paycheck to paycheck</i>”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

That’s almost double the 23% return for the real estate sector, which is the second-best sector. The S&P 500 is up nearly 12% this year.\nEnergy’s big start to the year means that even if the sector goes nowhere for the rest of 2021, it will still be the best year since 1990 by nearly 10%, according to Bay Crest Partners chief market technician Jonathan Krinsky.\nThe surge in energy stocks comes on the back of a recovery in oil prices, and as investors return to areas of the market that were left out of 2020′s rebound from the pandemic lows. The sector was also starting from a low base. In 2020, the group fell 37.3% for its worst performance since inception in 1989.\nKrinsky is among those saying the upside move is overdone, and his call is to sell crude oil and energy stocks broadly. From a technical standpoint, he noted that the $420 to $450 level acted as support — a floor — for the group during the last decade. But then during the Covid sell-off, the sector plunged below that key level — breaking below $200 — as the pandemic ground economies around the world to a halt.\n\nThe S&P Energy Sector has since recovered and traded as high as $420 on Thursday, inching closer to their prior support level, which now acts as resistance, or where an uptrend could be expected to reverse.\n“Oftentimes when you break a very important support like that, once you come back and test it as resistance, it’s difficult to exceed that — at least on the first try,” Krinsky noted.\nGauging performance from Jan. 1 might seem arbitrary, but he added that the sector’s outperformance is notable from virtually any date. Over the last eight months, the group has returned over 90%, which Krinsky says is more than two times the prior largest such gain over the last three decades.\n“Even on a rolling basis this is somewhat unprecedented,” he said. His bearish call on the sector also stems from other commodities breaking down, including lumber and copper. The latter is now breaking its uptrend, and Krinsky noted that copper was a leading indicator for the 2020 low, hitting a bottom one month ahead of West Texas Intermediate Crude futures.\nTOP-PERFORMING S&P 500 ENERGY STOCKS THIS YEAR\n\n\n\nTICKER\nCOMPANY\nPRICE\n%CHANGE\nYIELD\nPREVIOUS CLOSE\n\n\n\n\nMRO\nMarathon Oil Corp\n12.83\n-0.4655\n12.83\n12.89\n\n\nFANG\nDiamondback Energy Inc\n86.23\n-0.7596\n86.23\n86.89\n\n\nDVN\nDevon Energy Corp\n27.22\n-1.3411\n27.22\n27.59\n\n\nEOG\nEOG Resources Inc\n80.795\n-0.7798\n80.795\n81.43\n\n\n\nWithin the sector,Marathon Oilhas gained nearly 93% this year, making it the top-performing energy stock in the S&P 500.\nDiamondback Energyrose about 80% year to date, andDevon Energyclimbed more than 70%.OccidentalandEOG Resourcesare up more than 60%.\nAmid the outperformance the group remains unloved by Wall Street as factors – including environmental, social and corporate governance investing – prompt investors to shy away from the sector. Bank of America recently noted that the entire sector makes up just 2% of the average long-only portfolio, or less than half the allocation toward Facebook, which sits at 4.2%.\nEnergy still comprises a tiny portion of the S&P 500, but as the sector’s weighting grows, fund managers who shun the space could risk returns.\nMRB Partners on Thursday reiterated its overweight rating on the group, saying the recovery in demand for petroleum products, coupled with ongoing supply constraints, should push oil prices higher, leading to further returns for energy stocks.\n“Strengthening cash flows, leaner cost structures, and better capital discipline position the industry to moderately increase capital returns to shareholders,” strategists led by Salvatore Ruscitti wrote in a note to clients. “Relative performance will benefit from the reflationary backdrop and our expectations for a softer U.S. dollar.”\nWhen it comes to specific stocks, Gilman Hill Asset Management CEO Jenny Harrington owns names includingChevron,OneokandKinder Morgan. She noted on Thursday’s“Halftime Report”that it’s important to look at the whole picture. While oil is at its highest level in nearly two and a half years, it’s trading at about half the level it was just a few years ago. On the flip side, it’s well above where it traded in June of 2020 as the pandemic took hold.\n“They’re all trading at a fraction of the market multiple,” Harrington said of the energy stocks she owns. “They all have hefty dividend yields,” she added, arguing that strong earnings growth means “there’s a lot of room to go here.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":369823118,"gmtCreate":1614028977834,"gmtModify":1704887061337,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait for lower?","listText":"Wait for lower?","text":"Wait for lower?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/369823118","repostId":"1100241886","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100241886","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1613990937,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100241886?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-22 18:48","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin slips sharply from record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100241886","media":"Reuters","summary":"Bitcoin fell sharply on Monday after surging to a record $58,354 a day earlier, as a selloff in glob","content":"<p>Bitcoin fell sharply on Monday after surging to a record $58,354 a day earlier, as a selloff in global equities curbed risk appetite.</p>\n<p>The most popular cryptocurrency rallied over the weekend to record levels, almost doubling year-to-date.

We'll look at the unique situations that arise in the options of a highly volatile stock like Gamestop and a few things that might be considered before trading options.</p><hr><p><b>Gamestop: The Expected Move</b></p><p>First, a look at how options are pricing upcoming moves. Here's theOptions AIexpected move chart for Gamestop, with a nearly 30% move being priced into this Friday's close. And a roughly 80% move being priced for the next month. A month that includes an earnings event (unconfirmed):</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e35872724d8db887fa09d822d622ac8c\" tg-width=\"568\" tg-height=\"817\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Gamestop: Call Spreads vs Outright Calls</p><p>Using March 19th as an expiry we first looks at bullish spreads, and compare directly to outright calls. With a stock as volatile as Gamestop, calls can be expensive. Because of that, many traders resort to buying far out of the money calls. That demand for upside calls increases volatility in those calls, making them expensive relative to at-the-money calls – a phenomenon known as skew. However, for those that are bullish, this may create an opportunity to utilize spreads rather than buying an outright call. Let's see how.</p><p>Here we'll focus on one alternative – using debit spreads to lower the overall cost of a directional trade (while potentially improving the probability of profit of the trade itself by lowering the breakeven level). It does so by selling those relatively expensive out-the-money Calls to help finance the purchase of a nearer to at-the-money Call.</p><p>With Gamestop near $105, the&nbsp;<b>March 19th 110/190 Debit Call Spread</b>&nbsp;is roughly $15 and targets the bullish expected move for March 19th. The debit call spread would need the stock to be above $125 on March 19th to be profitable.</p><p>As a comparison, the GME March 19th 200 calls are trading $29. That's nearly twice the cost for a 200 call that needs the stock above $229 by March 19th… versus a call spread, that needs the stock above $125. Here's a side by side comparison of those two trades on the Options AI chart. First, the 200 call:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b044a22bfbe5a8326f9aa3ebf56ed4fd\" tg-width=\"570\" tg-height=\"740\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>And next, the 145/200 debit call spread:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cdf8545f07da48f770ef81cb4e5ac53\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"792\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>As you can see, not only is the call spread less expensive, the point at which is becomes profitable to the upside is much closer to where the stock is currently trading. (As indicated by the grey price of the breakeven.)</p><p>A note on probability of profit. The probability of profit displayed on these trades is based on the delta being assigned to the breakeven of the trade. The fact that a 200 call in a $105 stock is trading near 50 deltas shows just how distorting an effect Gamestop volatility is having on its options (hard to borrow, skew, retail demand for out-of-the-money calls).</p><p>Directional Butterflies vs Outright Puts</p><p>High volatility also affects bearish options trades. One of the counter-intuitive aspects of a high volatility stock like Gamestop is that its implied volatility can go up as the stock goes higher and down as the stock goes lower. This is the opposite of how we generally think about volatility. Therefore, buying outright puts carries a risk of collapsing volatility (and therefore collapsing premiums) as the stock goes lower. So, even though the stock is moving in the intended direction, as an option holder you may not be realizing the gains expected.</p><p>One way to counter high implied volatility in a stock, especially when having a bearish view, is to be a net seller of option premium. To sell to bullish option traders rather than join bearish option traders. Traditionally that might take the form of selling a Credit Call Spread.

We'll look at the unique situations that arise in the options of a highly volatile stock like Gamestop and a few things that might be considered before trading options.Gamestop: The Expected MoveFirst, a look at how options are pricing upcoming moves. Here's theOptions AIexpected move chart for Gamestop, with a nearly 30% move being priced into this Friday's close. And a roughly 80% move being priced for the next month. A month that includes an earnings event (unconfirmed):Gamestop: Call Spreads vs Outright CallsUsing March 19th as an expiry we first looks at bullish spreads, and compare directly to outright calls. With a stock as volatile as Gamestop, calls can be expensive. Because of that, many traders resort to buying far out of the money calls. That demand for upside calls increases volatility in those calls, making them expensive relative to at-the-money calls – a phenomenon known as skew. However, for those that are bullish, this may create an opportunity to utilize spreads rather than buying an outright call. Let's see how.Here we'll focus on one alternative – using debit spreads to lower the overall cost of a directional trade (while potentially improving the probability of profit of the trade itself by lowering the breakeven level). It does so by selling those relatively expensive out-the-money Calls to help finance the purchase of a nearer to at-the-money Call.With Gamestop near $105, the March 19th 110/190 Debit Call Spread is roughly $15 and targets the bullish expected move for March 19th. The debit call spread would need the stock to be above $125 on March 19th to be profitable.As a comparison, the GME March 19th 200 calls are trading $29. That's nearly twice the cost for a 200 call that needs the stock above $229 by March 19th… versus a call spread, that needs the stock above $125. Here's a side by side comparison of those two trades on the Options AI chart. First, the 200 call:And next, the 145/200 debit call spread:As you can see, not only is the call spread less expensive, the point at which is becomes profitable to the upside is much closer to where the stock is currently trading. (As indicated by the grey price of the breakeven.)A note on probability of profit. The probability of profit displayed on these trades is based on the delta being assigned to the breakeven of the trade. The fact that a 200 call in a $105 stock is trading near 50 deltas shows just how distorting an effect Gamestop volatility is having on its options (hard to borrow, skew, retail demand for out-of-the-money calls).Directional Butterflies vs Outright PutsHigh volatility also affects bearish options trades. One of the counter-intuitive aspects of a high volatility stock like Gamestop is that its implied volatility can go up as the stock goes higher and down as the stock goes lower. This is the opposite of how we generally think about volatility. Therefore, buying outright puts carries a risk of collapsing volatility (and therefore collapsing premiums) as the stock goes lower. So, even though the stock is moving in the intended direction, as an option holder you may not be realizing the gains expected.One way to counter high implied volatility in a stock, especially when having a bearish view, is to be a net seller of option premium. To sell to bullish option traders rather than join bearish option traders. Traditionally that might take the form of selling a Credit Call Spread. But in GME's case that means buying the (expensive) upper strike Call at a higher volatility than the Call that is closer to the money (as described above).So, one option strategy that can be considered by traders is using a Butterfly. An option trade that is more typically associated with a neutral trading view, but here adapted to actually create a targeted (bearish) directional view.Here, as an example, is a Butterfly with its center strikes focused at $80 in the stock, with a March 19th expiry:This 130/80/30 butterfly has breakevens of 115 and 45, meaning the trade is profitable if the stock is between those two prices at March 19th expiry… with a max gain occurring if the stock is at or near $80. It has the additional dynamic of being short premium, and if the stock stays within its range would see mark to market gains if implied volatility compressed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":436,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360330379,"gmtCreate":1613827270291,"gmtModify":1704885383477,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360330379","repostId":"1143100356","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143100356","pubTimestamp":1613792715,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143100356?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-20 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Top Tech Stocks to Buy Now for Big Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143100356","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq slipped during the week of February 15, after they closed at new records last week.

And the stock jumped over 1% through morning trading Friday, as it bounces off its 50-day moving average. NIO shares also trade at a discount compared to other high-flyers at 12.7X forward sales, which marks a discount against Tesla’s 15.5X and comes in 25% below its own six-months highs.</p><p>Three out of the nine brokerage recommendations that Zacks has for NIO come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none below a “Hold.” NIO might be worth buying as a long-term play that’s far less expensive than Tesla ($784 a share), in a world where EVs already accounted for over 30% of Volvo’s new car sales in Europe in 2020.

More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.</p><p>The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.</p><p>CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”</p><p>Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.</p><p>In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.</p><p>CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.</p><p><b>These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic</b>The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.</p><p>Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies.

More importantly, as devices proliferate and our digitally-connected world grows more complex, it becomes more vulnerable.CrowdStrike on February announced plans to bolster its offerings through the acquisition of Humio for $400 million—expected to close in the first quarter. Humio provides high-performance cloud log management and observability technology. The deal is set to “further expand its eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities by ingesting and correlating data from any log, application or feed to deliver actionable insights and real-time protection.”CrowdStrike, which went public in the summer of 2019, has soared nearly 280% in the past 12 months. More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the PandemicThe COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":159841080,"gmtCreate":1624958091440,"gmtModify":1703848820900,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go go go…","listText":"Go go go…","text":"Go go go…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159841080","repostId":"1161791117","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161791117","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1624888175,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1161791117?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 21:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV Stocks surged in Monday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161791117","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"EV Stocks surged in Monday morning trading.Tesla,Nio,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto climbed between 1.8% and 6.4%.","content":"<p>EV Stocks surged in Monday morning trading.Tesla,Nio,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto climbed between 1.8% and 6.4%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c0daf58150762032dd73960878904cd\" tg-width=\"375\" tg-height=\"361\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The recent downturn has seen it fall from overbought in terms of the Relative Strength Index to around 45—an RSI above 70 is often regarded as overbought, with any number below 30 considered oversold.NIO’s recent price performance could give it room to run if it’s able to impress Wall Street. And the stock jumped over 1% through morning trading Friday, as it bounces off its 50-day moving average. NIO shares also trade at a discount compared to other high-flyers at 12.7X forward sales, which marks a discount against Tesla’s 15.5X and comes in 25% below its own six-months highs.Three out of the nine brokerage recommendations that Zacks has for NIO come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none below a “Hold.” NIO might be worth buying as a long-term play that’s far less expensive than Tesla ($784 a share), in a world where EVs already accounted for over 30% of Volvo’s new car sales in Europe in 2020. And let’s remember that China is one of the world’s largest EV markets.CrowdStrikeCRWDCrowdStrike is a cloud-focused cybersecurity firm that utilizes machine learning and AI to protect endpoints and cloud workloads. This is crucial in the cloud age that’s full of rapidly expanding endpoints, which include laptops, desktops, smartphones, IoT devices, and more.Remote work and schooling pushed this area of the ever-growing cybersecurity space to the forefront, but it was already booming. More importantly, as devices proliferate and our digitally-connected world grows more complex, it becomes more vulnerable.CrowdStrike on February announced plans to bolster its offerings through the acquisition of Humio for $400 million—expected to close in the first quarter. Humio provides high-performance cloud log management and observability technology. The deal is set to “further expand its eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities by ingesting and correlating data from any log, application or feed to deliver actionable insights and real-time protection.”CrowdStrike, which went public in the summer of 2019, has soared nearly 280% in the past 12 months. More recently, the stock is up 65% in the last six months, and it already bounced back to new records—which it hit earlier in the week—after it slipped in mid-January.The stock is firmly a growth play at the moment, trading at 42.7X forward sales, which puts it right in line with e-commerce giant ShopifySHOP. Despite its run, the stock is not currently considered overbought, with an RSI of 64.CRWD’s positive earnings revisions help it grab a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment, with it set to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results on March 16. Meanwhile, 14 of the 19 brokerage ratings Zacks has for CRWD come in at a “Strong Buy,” with none lower than a “Hold.”Looking back, the company crushed our Q3 estimates in December, with sales up 86%. CrowdStrike also lifted its guidance at the time. Zacks estimates currently call for it to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.02 a share in the year-ago period to +$0.09 in the fourth quarter on 65% stronger sales.In total, the cybersecurity firm is projected to soar from a loss of -$0.42 a share to +$0.23 in fiscal 2021. Plus, CRWD’s FY22 EPS figure is projected to climb another 70% higher, all the way to $0.39 a share. Meanwhile, its revenue is projected to jump 79% to hit $861 million in FY21 and then climb another 42% to $1.22 billion in FY22.CrowdStrike’s expected growth would come on top of FY20’s 93% sales expansion. The stock has clearly already gone on an impressive run. But it is poised to continue to grow in a world where everything is connected and data is endless. Therefore, cybersecurity firms such as CrowdStrike might make for strong long-term growth plays.These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the PandemicThe COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385674465,"gmtCreate":1613551055857,"gmtModify":1704881890627,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Opportunities&nbsp;","listText":"Opportunities&nbsp;","text":"Opportunities","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385674465","repostId":"1174381857","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174381857","pubTimestamp":1613527491,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174381857?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-17 10:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Warren Buffet's Berkshire Reveals Three New Secret Buys","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174381857","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Berkshire also disclosed new bet on Marsh & McLennanBuffett’s company exited stakes in JPMorgan, PNC","content":"<ul><li>Berkshire also disclosed new bet on Marsh &amp; McLennan</li><li>Buffett’s company exited stakes in JPMorgan, PNC and M&amp;T Bank</li></ul><p>Warren Buffett’s&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&nbsp;cut its Apple Inc. holding during the last few months of the year.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA.

Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation.

As the company continues to operate within a market with so many growth drivers that are expected to drive the company’s future growth, investors should find the current valuations highly attractive.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354248192,"gmtCreate":1617182518016,"gmtModify":1704696894401,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354248192","repostId":"1166961889","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166961889","pubTimestamp":1617156802,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166961889?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-31 10:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Stocks to Build an Income Stream for the Long Haul.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166961889","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"Bob Baker, a retired aerospace engineer, regularly taps his small pension and Social Security income","content":"<p>Bob Baker, a retired aerospace engineer, regularly taps his small pension and Social Security income to help cover his living expenses.</p><p>But he also relies on a steady dose of stock dividends, something he started to zero in on when he retired in 2015. “Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings,” says Baker, 72, who lives in northern Virginia with his wife.</p><p>Dividends from his retirement accounts are transferred every month into a taxable account to cover required minimum distributions, or RMDs—which kick in after a retiree hits 72, up from age 70½ previously. His holdings includePepsiCo(ticker: PEP),CVS Health(CVS), andPrudential Financial(PRU)—longtime dividend payers that sport yields well above theS&amp;P 500index’s average of about 1.5%. The yield on the dividend stocks in his portfolio was recently 4.5%.</p><p>The notion of using dividends in retirement, either as a way to complement other financial assets, as Baker does, or perhaps rely on them for an even larger percentage of income, is drawing plenty of interest these days. Yields on many traditional income investments are now near historical lows, and the onus increasingly is on individuals to secure their postcareer income. The strategy has spawned something of a movement, encompassing investors of all ages and levels of sophistication. There areFacebookgroups devoted to the topic along with blogs, newsletters, books, and various other platforms.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87d47a63a4c8bee81dd0af14d95ae412\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"636\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>But these investors are not yourGameStoptraders or momentum players. They are in many cases diligent investors adopting sound strategies to build a portfolio for the long haul, investing sometimes $100 here or $50 there. They’re more like modern-day moms and pops.</p><p>“A big appeal of dividends is really that it’s kind of psychologically easier to stay the course,” says Brian Bollinger, who in 2015 founded Simply Safe Dividends, which includes a monthly newsletter and tools for do-it-yourself dividend investors. “You are focusing on building this growing income stream regardless of market conditions.”</p><p>Indeed, during last year’s pandemic-driven market rout and subsequent strong rally, dividend stocks lagged, and a number of big names cut or suspended their payouts. From when the market reached its prepandemic peak in February 2020 through the end of the year, the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats returned 8.1%, dividends included. Those companies, which have paid out higher dividends for at least 25 straight years, trailed the S&amp;P 500’s 12.7% return over that stretch.</p><p>Yield ShortageThe yield of a 50-50 portfolio of stocks and bonds, once a reliable source of income for retirees, has dwindledto below 2%.Source: Vanguard%Recessions are shaded4% represents a hypothetical annualportfolio withdrawal rate for a retiree.1994'952000'05'10'15'2012345</p><p>But last year’s selloff and relative underperformance offered a chance for nimble dividend investors to add to holdings they considered to be undervalued. If you missed out, however, it’s not too late: Below, we identify 10 stocks with solid yields, consistent payouts, and seeming durability.</p><p>A key force behind the burgeoning interest in retiring on dividends is ultralow interest rates. Even though the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has touched 1.7% in recent days, passing the S&amp;P 500’s average yield, interest rates remain low by historical standards. Other traditional income—generating investments like certificates of deposit and corporate bonds are also trading with historically low yields.</p><p>“It used to be that retirees could live off the cash flows from a portfolio,” says Colleen Jaconetti, head of investment research at Vanguard Institutional Investor Group. “So, you never really had to think about where it came from.”</p><p>She points out that in early 1995, a 50-50 stock and bond portfolio yielded a little more than 5%, above the 4% annual portfolio withdrawal rate that some advisors and investors use as a starting framework in retirement. That portfolio’s yield had fallen to 1.4% at the end of 2020.</p><p>Such paltry yields can make dividend stocks an attractive investment centerpiece for retirees. They can offer nice yields, and unlike fixed bond coupons, dividends can grow to hedge inflation, which many experts expect to tick up.</p><p>“People generally say that the sweet spot is somewhere between 2.5% and 4.5%” for dividend yields, “and I’m right in the middle of that at 3.6%,” says Dave Van Knapp, an active dividend-growth-investing blogger and investor who relies heavily on dividends in retirement.</p><p>The 74-year-old Van Knapp, who worked in legal publishing, not only promotes the investment strategy but also shows it in action, posting <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of his portfolios on a website called Daily Trade Alert. That portfolio—which had increased more than threefold from when he set it up in 2008, to $151,854 recently—has 28 stocks. They includeJohnson &amp; Johnson(JNJ), PepsiCo, andProcter &amp; Gamble(PG). He uses Social Security and a pension to complement his dividend income streams.</p><p>“A lot of times, when people say I want to live off income in my retirement, many, many people—and the investment industry does this—immediately translate that to bonds,” says Van Knapp. “One of the breakthrough concepts of this [strategy] is that you can generate equity income.”</p><p>One thing to keep in mind is that by eschewing bonds and focusing solely on stocks, investors are discarding an asset class that can provide important portfolio diversification.</p><p>There are many ways to build a portfolio of dividend stocks, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of which entails assembling a collection of blue-chip issues, as Van Knapp’s portfolio does. Investors, however, need to consider the pros and cons of relying heavily on dividends in retirement—and there’s no shortage of each.</p><p>“If you have a large enough portfolio, then buying a blue-chip amalgamation of companies like Procter &amp; Gamble,Kimberly Clark,and so forth that produces enough income for you—you’re golden,” says Charles Lieberman, chief investment officer at Advisors Capital Management. “The conceptual issue is, do you buy a diversified portfolio and peel off assets on a regular basis in order to get cash, or do you invest for income and live off the income?”</p><p>Many investors and financial advisors favor a total-return approach, in which a saver assembles a portfolio of growth stocks and dividend payers—and often bonds and other asset classes—and sometimes sells off assets in retirement to raise cash. Relying largely on stock dividends in retirement, to them, isn’t a feasible approach to amassing the principal necessary for a retirement that could last 30 years or more.</p><p>“I don’t hear any advisors saying, ‘How do I build a dividend-paying portfolio that is going to cover 100% of my client’s income needs?’ ” says Katherine Roy, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “I just see so many more advisors building diversified portfolios that are oriented toward income, but they are looking for that growth potential, as well.”</p><p>Jaconetti, too, is skeptical, pointing out that stocks with yields of 3% to 4%, though deemed attractive and safe by some investors, can pose a lot of risk, lead to overly concentrated portfolios, and create capital losses.</p><p>“At any given time, there’s no way to say whether growth or value is going to outperform,” Jaconetti adds. “It’s not that you can’t have a lot of diversification within value. But you are most likely underweighting growth. And if growth is outperforming, then you are going to end up underperforming.”</p><p>Still, several of the retirement dividend-investing practitioners<i>Barron’s</i>spoke with believe that it’s possible to actively manage a portfolio of dividend stocks for long-term capital return while minimizing the attendant risks.</p><p>Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings.</p><p>— Retired aerospace engineer Bob Baker, 72</p><p>Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington, CEO and portfolio manager at Gilman Hill Asset Management, aims for a 5% yield plus capital appreciation in the firm’s equity income strategy. “You can get the 5% yield, but it doesn’t come easy or at a superlow cost” that an equity income exchange-traded fund charges, she says. “You need to work for it.”</p><p>She citesVerizon Communications(VZ),<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a>(IBM), andSL Green Realty(SLG) as examples of what she considers sound companies with attractive yields of at least 4.5%.</p><p>Still, she says, relying solely on stock dividends in retirement isn’t for everyone. “It depends on the amount and what your spending is. That’s the equation,” says Harrington.</p><p>Consider, for example, a retiree whose portfolio totals $200,000. A 3% yield on that would produce $6,000 a year—not very much, though it could be supplemented by Social Security or other income, if available.</p><p>A $1.5 million portfolio, at a 3% yield, would generate annual income of $45,000, which, if combined with other sources like Social Security, could be sufficient.</p><p>Higher yields, of course, are alluring to some investors, but they can signal value traps—where a stock that appears cheap can trade at depressed levels or decline for an extended period of time. Such stocks are the subject of much debate in dividend-investing circles, but investors should do their due diligence before deciding whether a high-yielding stock is worth the risk.</p><p>“Only fundamental analysis reveals the real why [for a high yield] and if it’s a temporary dislocation or a real permanent decliner,” says Harrington, who adds that her clients “find emotional comfort in the consistency of those dividends.”</p><p>Ultimately, an income-dependent retirement strategy isn’t foolproof or something to set and forget.</p><p>“It still requires care,” says Lieberman. “Inevitably, there will be downdrafts in the market, and inevitably there will be a company or multiple companies that at some point cut their dividends, so then you have to adapt.”</p><p>Reliable Retirement ReturnsThese are the types of companies that can offer retirees durable dividends and potenial growth.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Company / Ticker</th><th>Recent Price</th><th>Dividend Yield</th><th>Market Value (bil)</th><th>Return Since 1/31/2020</th><th>5-Year Dividend Growth Rate*</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><b>AT&amp;T</b>/ T</td><td>$29.99</td><td>6.9%</td><td>$215.4</td><td>-14.5%</td><td>2%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Coca-Cola</b>/ KO</td><td>51.52</td><td>3.3</td><td>222.0</td><td>-8.0</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><b>Consolidated Edison</b>/ ED</td><td>73.43</td><td>4.2</td><td>25.1</td><td>-17.9</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>International Business Machines</b>/ IBM</td><td>130.62</td><td>5.0</td><td>116.7</td><td>-3.1</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td><b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>/ JNJ</td><td>161.91</td><td>2.5</td><td>426.3</td><td>12.4</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td><b>Kellogg</b>/ K</td><td>62.59</td><td>3.7</td><td>21.3</td><td>-5.7</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>/ PG</td><td>132.56</td><td>2.4</td><td>326.4</td><td>9.0</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><b>SL Green Realty</b>/ SLG</td><td>70.02</td><td>5.2</td><td>4.9</td><td>-18.5</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>/ USB</td><td>53.47</td><td>3.1</td><td>80.3</td><td>5.0</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td><b>Verizon Communications</b>/ VZ</td><td>57.01</td><td>4.4</td><td>236.6</td><td>0.2</td><td>2</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data as of 3/24/21. *Annualized</p><p>Source: FactSet</p><p>Another factor to consider before pursuing a dividend-focused portfolio for retirement: Not every retiree or saver has the desire, prowess, or time to regularly focus on a stock portfolio. Using mutual funds or a financial advisor can make a lot more sense, their fees notwithstanding.</p><p>But managing a portfolio of dividend stocks works well for some investors.</p><p>“The key consideration was to have a comfortable income stream and not have to liquidate any equities in my portfolio to do so,” says Baker, the former aerospace engineer. “I tend to go into my portfolio every day. I’m retired. I have the time, and I enjoy doing it.”</p><p>Dividend-paying stocks can make a lot of sense for retirees, many of whom face “very difficult investment decisions,” says David Katz, chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors, pointing to low bond yields and rich valuations as major headwinds.</p><p>Certain dividend stocks, he says, “should allow for a healthy and growing income stream and reasonable portfolio growth over time” while providing some downside protection when needed.</p><p>Based on input from Katz and other financial pros, as well as our own research,<i>Barron’s</i>came up with a portfolio of 10 dividend-paying stocks that retirees should consider.</p><p>AT&amp;T</p><p>AT&amp;T(T) is one of the more-discussed stocks among dividend investors, as its yield, at about 7%, is much higher than most U.S companies. A concern that many investors have is the company’s hefty debt load.</p><p>Such a high yield can be a reason for investors to exit, but the entertainment, tech, and telecom conglomerate has a long history of paying a dividend—it’s a member of the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—and some analysts like its content library and foray into streaming.</p><p>Company executives are showing their support for the dividend. In a March 12 release outlining the company’s strategy and financial outlook, CEO John Stankey said in part that AT&amp;T is “committed to sustaining the dividend at current levels and utilizing cash after dividends to reduce debt.” Chief Financial Officer John Stephens expressed a similar commitment to the dividend at a conference on March 8. “With $26 billion of free cash flow after [capital expenditure], there’s plenty of money to pay out the dividend,” he said.</p><p>The last time the company declared a quarterly dividend increase occurred in December 2019, more than a year ago, boosting it by a penny, to 52 cents a share. But AT&amp;T looks like it’s on course to at least sustain the dividend.</p><p>Coca-Cola</p><p>In the 1970s,Coca-Cola(KO) ran a series of TV advertisements built around the mantra “Coke adds life.” The beverage behemoth has added a lot of yield over the years, as well, and it continues to do so—with its stock recently yielding 3.3%.</p><p>Coke managed to keep its quarterly dividend at 41 cents a share last year, even though the pandemic took a big toll on restaurants, one of the company’s key sales channels.</p><p>Coke earned an adjusted $1.95 a share in 2020, down from $2.11 the previous year, as sales fell 11%, to $33 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales to rebound this year to $36.7 billion, still below 2019 levels, and for the company to earn $2.14 a share.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4abb2face6ef1f0a3bee7cd44ac2c533\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Coca-Cola maintained its dividend during the pandemic, a testament to its durability even in rough times.GEORGE FREY/BLOOMBERG</p><p>Despite the headwinds, Coke’s board in February declared a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, up by a penny, or 2.4%. The company paid out $7 billion in dividends to shareholders last year—includingBerkshIre Hathaway’sWarren Buffett, who has famously enjoyed the company’s products, and dividends, for years.</p><p>In an investor presentation last month, Coke listed continuing to increase its dividend as its second-highest capital-allocation priority after reinvesting in its businesses.</p><p>The stock is down about 5% this year, dividends included. Still, the company should be a big beneficiary of the economy’s reopening, and its payout history bodes well for the long term.</p><p>Consolidated Edison</p><p>Utilities are often lauded by investors for their durability, resiliency, and big yields. The pandemic has posed a big test for the sector, however, andConsolidated Edison(ED), whose regulated utility footprint includes New York City as well as nearby Westchester and Rockland counties, was no exception.</p><p>The company earned an adjusted $4.18 a share last year, down 5% from $4.38 in 2019, on an operating revenue decline of about 3% to a little more than $12.2 billion.</p><p>Still, ConEd’s “regulated utility distribution business will still contribute over 90% of adjusted earnings over the next five years,” wrote Morningstar analyst Charles Fishman recently.</p><p>Regulated utility businesses are generally regarded as durable and resilient, helping to fuel increases in earnings and dividends.</p><p>ConEd has boosted its dividend for 47 straight years, most recently in January to $3.10 a share annually, up by four cents, or 1.3%. That’s below the 3.5% dividend increases the company has averaged in recent years, Fishman observes, “and we expect this level of increase over the next several years due to the economic impact of Covid-19.”</p><p>But he calls the dividend secure, “considering the conservative strategy of the company’s nonutility businesses and the favorable regulatory framework for its New York utilities.”</p><p>Katz believes that the “stock will probably get a lift as a reopening play and a New York City recovery.”</p><p>IBM</p><p>IBM shares have returned about 5% this year, slightly ahead of the S&amp;P 500, but they’ve been a laggard over longer periods owing to disappointing financial results, including weak revenue growth.</p><p>But the company has been trying to change that. In 2019, for example, IBM acquired Red Hat, which offers customers a hybrid cloud platform, for about $33 billion using a combination of debt and cash. Red Hat’s sales grew 18% on a normalized basis in 2020, CEO Arvind Krishna told analysts in January. That should help solidify the dividend and grow it modestly.</p><p>Gilman Hill’s Harrington sees Red Hat’s “hybrid cloud IT strategies” becoming “an increasingly meaningful driver of total revenue growth” for the company. It’s “a stock everyone loves to hate,” she says, “and, as a result, [it] has been written off.”</p><p>On the plus side, the stock yields 5%, and the company has said that it’s committed to the dividend. IBM earlier this year was admitted to the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—demonstrating the consistency of dividend growth that retirement savers and retirees need for the long haul.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson</p><p>With its diversified mix of businesses, Johnson &amp; Johnson throws off a lot of free cash flow, giving it the wherewithal to maintain its dividend and boost it through thick and thin.</p><p>Case in point: Last April, as the pandemic was forcing many companies to slash or eliminate their dividends, J&amp;J declared a quarterly payout of $1.01 a share, up 6% from 95 cents. This came even as one of its key business units, medical devices, came under pressure as customers put off elective surgeries due to the pandemic.</p><p>Last year, the company, whose businesses also include consumer products and prescription drugs, paid out about $10.5 billion in dividends, or roughly half of its free cash flow.</p><p>Morningstar analyst Damien Conover likes J&amp;J’s “diverse revenue base, a developing research pipeline, and exceptional cash flow generation”—three attributes that should support the dividend and keep it growing.</p><p>Kellogg</p><p>Kellogg(K), whose signature brands include Special K, Rice Krispies, and Pringles, has lagged behind the market this year with a flattish return. But the company’s foundation looks sound, helped by its plant-based proteins under the Morningstar Farms Incogmeato label and others.</p><p>The company notched organic sales growth of 6% in 2020, lifted by gains across all of its regions globally and its four major product categories: snacks, cereal, frozen food, and noodles. That helped offset headwinds that included Covid-19 and divestitures.</p><p>What’s more, Kellogg paid a quarterly dividend of 57 cents a share throughout the pandemic-challenged year, and it plans to boost it by a penny in the second quarter. The stock was recently yielding 3.7%.</p><p>“This means returning more cash to share owners, and it reflects our confidence in the business,” CFO Amit Banati told analysts during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in February.</p><p>The company earned $4.03 a share on an adjusted basis last year, up fractionally from $4 in 2019, and the FactSet consensus for this year is $4.01 a share. It recently fetched 15.3 times its FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate.</p><p>Katz describes Kellogg as a “top-tier consumer-staples company selling at a very attractive valuation.”</p><p>Procter &amp; Gamble</p><p>P&amp;G, a consumer-products giant whose brands include Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper, proved its dividend mettle in 2020.</p><p>Last April, it declared a quarterly payout of 79.07 cents a share, an increase of 6%. The stock yields 2.4%.</p><p>Operating chief Jon Moeller told analysts in January that the company had built momentum before the pandemic. That gave P&amp;G confidence, he said, “to increase our dividend at the highest rate in many years, even as we struggled with new Covid realities.”</p><p>The company ultimately benefited from heady sales of lockdown items such paper towels. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the company to earn $5.70 a share in its current fiscal year, which ends in June, up from $5.12 last year—testament to P&amp;G’s durability and the health of its dividend.</p><p>SL Green Realty</p><p>Real estate investment trusts, which are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends, are popular among income investors. This REIT could prove particularly popular postpandemic.</p><p>SL Green, which owns a lot of high-profile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> office buildings, is down 18.5% since last January, before the pandemic began. The company has been hit as tenants grapple with weak occupancies and many employees continue to work from home a year into the pandemic.</p><p>“People were worried about workers never coming back to work in offices in New York City. I think that’s very unlikely,” says Charles Lieberman of Advisors Capital Management.</p><p>He views SL Green as a good way to play the economy’s reopening. SL Green shares have been on the road to recovery, returning about 15% this year alone. The stock was recently yielding 5.2%.</p><p>In March, in addition to declaring a monthly dividend of 30.33 cents a share, the company issued a special dividend of just under $1.70 a share for a total dividend of $2 a share. However, the special was paid in the form of the company’s stock—though shareholders could ask to be paid fully in cash.</p><p>U.S. Bancorp</p><p>Shares ofU.S. Bancorp(USB) have returned about 15% this year, and around 75% over the past year—and they may have room to run.</p><p>Katz calls it a “top-tier super-regional bank” that’s well capitalized with a strong loan portfolio and good credit quality. “We expect them to fully benefit from an improving economy and a steepening yield curve.”</p><p>The bank has several segments, giving its revenue mix some diversification: corporate and commercial banking; consumer and business banking, wealth management and investments; payment services, including for credit and debit cards; and treasury and other support for companies.</p><p>The stock pays a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, for a yield around 3%. And that’s not all. Even though the stock has a double-digit return this year, it hasn’t done quite as well as peers such asTruist Financial(TFC) andKeyCorp(KEY). “It’s due for a catch-up trade higher,” says Katz.</p><p>Verizon Communications</p><p>The stock, which yields 4.4%, changes hands a reasonable 11 times the $5.06 FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate. That estimate is up 3% from the $4.90 per share earnings last year.</p><p>“Consensus is for low-single digits earnings growth, but we think that will prove too conservative and hasn’t adjusted for management’s revenue-growth guidance,” says Harrington.</p><p>The company’s guidance includes 2%-plus annual service and revenue growth this year and 3%-plus in 2022 and 2023.</p><p>Verizon “should benefit from an improving economy and 5G rollout,” says Katz. He adds that it “can comfortably manage through the cost of the recent and very expensive spectrum auction” for government-issued licenses that allow telecom firms to increase their network capabilities.</p><p>At its investor day earlier in March, Verizon said that it was committed to its dividend, which it listed as its second capital-allocation priority after investing in the business. Verizon’s most recent dividend increase was last September, when it went to 62.75 cents a share, up 2% from 61.5 cents.</p><p>If the company can hold true to its commitment, that should keep the dividend rising and make the stock one that can be relied on for income in retirement.</p>","source":"lsy1604288433698","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His holdings includePepsiCo(ticker: PEP),CVS Health(CVS), andPrudential Financial(PRU)—longtime dividend payers that sport yields well above theS&P 500index’s average of about 1.5%. The yield on the dividend stocks in his portfolio was recently 4.5%.The notion of using dividends in retirement, either as a way to complement other financial assets, as Baker does, or perhaps rely on them for an even larger percentage of income, is drawing plenty of interest these days. Yields on many traditional income investments are now near historical lows, and the onus increasingly is on individuals to secure their postcareer income. The strategy has spawned something of a movement, encompassing investors of all ages and levels of sophistication. There areFacebookgroups devoted to the topic along with blogs, newsletters, books, and various other platforms.But these investors are not yourGameStoptraders or momentum players. They are in many cases diligent investors adopting sound strategies to build a portfolio for the long haul, investing sometimes $100 here or $50 there. They’re more like modern-day moms and pops.“A big appeal of dividends is really that it’s kind of psychologically easier to stay the course,” says Brian Bollinger, who in 2015 founded Simply Safe Dividends, which includes a monthly newsletter and tools for do-it-yourself dividend investors. “You are focusing on building this growing income stream regardless of market conditions.”Indeed, during last year’s pandemic-driven market rout and subsequent strong rally, dividend stocks lagged, and a number of big names cut or suspended their payouts. From when the market reached its prepandemic peak in February 2020 through the end of the year, the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats returned 8.1%, dividends included. Those companies, which have paid out higher dividends for at least 25 straight years, trailed the S&P 500’s 12.7% return over that stretch.Yield ShortageThe yield of a 50-50 portfolio of stocks and bonds, once a reliable source of income for retirees, has dwindledto below 2%.Source: Vanguard%Recessions are shaded4% represents a hypothetical annualportfolio withdrawal rate for a retiree.1994'952000'05'10'15'2012345But last year’s selloff and relative underperformance offered a chance for nimble dividend investors to add to holdings they considered to be undervalued. If you missed out, however, it’s not too late: Below, we identify 10 stocks with solid yields, consistent payouts, and seeming durability.A key force behind the burgeoning interest in retiring on dividends is ultralow interest rates. Even though the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has touched 1.7% in recent days, passing the S&P 500’s average yield, interest rates remain low by historical standards. Other traditional income—generating investments like certificates of deposit and corporate bonds are also trading with historically low yields.“It used to be that retirees could live off the cash flows from a portfolio,” says Colleen Jaconetti, head of investment research at Vanguard Institutional Investor Group. “So, you never really had to think about where it came from.”She points out that in early 1995, a 50-50 stock and bond portfolio yielded a little more than 5%, above the 4% annual portfolio withdrawal rate that some advisors and investors use as a starting framework in retirement. That portfolio’s yield had fallen to 1.4% at the end of 2020.Such paltry yields can make dividend stocks an attractive investment centerpiece for retirees. They can offer nice yields, and unlike fixed bond coupons, dividends can grow to hedge inflation, which many experts expect to tick up.“People generally say that the sweet spot is somewhere between 2.5% and 4.5%” for dividend yields, “and I’m right in the middle of that at 3.6%,” says Dave Van Knapp, an active dividend-growth-investing blogger and investor who relies heavily on dividends in retirement.The 74-year-old Van Knapp, who worked in legal publishing, not only promotes the investment strategy but also shows it in action, posting one of his portfolios on a website called Daily Trade Alert. That portfolio—which had increased more than threefold from when he set it up in 2008, to $151,854 recently—has 28 stocks. They includeJohnson & Johnson(JNJ), PepsiCo, andProcter & Gamble(PG). He uses Social Security and a pension to complement his dividend income streams.“A lot of times, when people say I want to live off income in my retirement, many, many people—and the investment industry does this—immediately translate that to bonds,” says Van Knapp. “One of the breakthrough concepts of this [strategy] is that you can generate equity income.”One thing to keep in mind is that by eschewing bonds and focusing solely on stocks, investors are discarding an asset class that can provide important portfolio diversification.There are many ways to build a portfolio of dividend stocks, one of which entails assembling a collection of blue-chip issues, as Van Knapp’s portfolio does. Investors, however, need to consider the pros and cons of relying heavily on dividends in retirement—and there’s no shortage of each.“If you have a large enough portfolio, then buying a blue-chip amalgamation of companies like Procter & Gamble,Kimberly Clark,and so forth that produces enough income for you—you’re golden,” says Charles Lieberman, chief investment officer at Advisors Capital Management. “The conceptual issue is, do you buy a diversified portfolio and peel off assets on a regular basis in order to get cash, or do you invest for income and live off the income?”Many investors and financial advisors favor a total-return approach, in which a saver assembles a portfolio of growth stocks and dividend payers—and often bonds and other asset classes—and sometimes sells off assets in retirement to raise cash. Relying largely on stock dividends in retirement, to them, isn’t a feasible approach to amassing the principal necessary for a retirement that could last 30 years or more.“I don’t hear any advisors saying, ‘How do I build a dividend-paying portfolio that is going to cover 100% of my client’s income needs?’ ” says Katherine Roy, chief retirement strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “I just see so many more advisors building diversified portfolios that are oriented toward income, but they are looking for that growth potential, as well.”Jaconetti, too, is skeptical, pointing out that stocks with yields of 3% to 4%, though deemed attractive and safe by some investors, can pose a lot of risk, lead to overly concentrated portfolios, and create capital losses.“At any given time, there’s no way to say whether growth or value is going to outperform,” Jaconetti adds. “It’s not that you can’t have a lot of diversification within value. But you are most likely underweighting growth. And if growth is outperforming, then you are going to end up underperforming.”Still, several of the retirement dividend-investing practitionersBarron’sspoke with believe that it’s possible to actively manage a portfolio of dividend stocks for long-term capital return while minimizing the attendant risks.Once I fully understood the significance of dividends from quality companies, a priority focus for me was not to have to sell any shares of any holdings.— Retired aerospace engineer Bob Baker, 72Jenny Van Leeuwen Harrington, CEO and portfolio manager at Gilman Hill Asset Management, aims for a 5% yield plus capital appreciation in the firm’s equity income strategy. “You can get the 5% yield, but it doesn’t come easy or at a superlow cost” that an equity income exchange-traded fund charges, she says. “You need to work for it.”She citesVerizon Communications(VZ),IBM(IBM), andSL Green Realty(SLG) as examples of what she considers sound companies with attractive yields of at least 4.5%.Still, she says, relying solely on stock dividends in retirement isn’t for everyone. “It depends on the amount and what your spending is. That’s the equation,” says Harrington.Consider, for example, a retiree whose portfolio totals $200,000. A 3% yield on that would produce $6,000 a year—not very much, though it could be supplemented by Social Security or other income, if available.A $1.5 million portfolio, at a 3% yield, would generate annual income of $45,000, which, if combined with other sources like Social Security, could be sufficient.Higher yields, of course, are alluring to some investors, but they can signal value traps—where a stock that appears cheap can trade at depressed levels or decline for an extended period of time. Such stocks are the subject of much debate in dividend-investing circles, but investors should do their due diligence before deciding whether a high-yielding stock is worth the risk.“Only fundamental analysis reveals the real why [for a high yield] and if it’s a temporary dislocation or a real permanent decliner,” says Harrington, who adds that her clients “find emotional comfort in the consistency of those dividends.”Ultimately, an income-dependent retirement strategy isn’t foolproof or something to set and forget.“It still requires care,” says Lieberman. “Inevitably, there will be downdrafts in the market, and inevitably there will be a company or multiple companies that at some point cut their dividends, so then you have to adapt.”Reliable Retirement ReturnsThese are the types of companies that can offer retirees durable dividends and potenial growth.Company / TickerRecent PriceDividend YieldMarket Value (bil)Return Since 1/31/20205-Year Dividend Growth Rate*AT&T/ T$29.996.9%$215.4-14.5%2%Coca-Cola/ KO51.523.3222.0-8.04Consolidated Edison/ ED73.434.225.1-17.93International Business Machines/ IBM130.625.0116.7-3.15Johnson & Johnson/ JNJ161.912.5426.312.46Kellogg/ K62.593.721.3-5.73Procter & Gamble/ PG132.562.4326.49.03SL Green Realty/ SLG70.025.24.9-18.58U.S. Bancorp/ USB53.473.180.35.011Verizon Communications/ VZ57.014.4236.60.22Data as of 3/24/21. *AnnualizedSource: FactSetAnother factor to consider before pursuing a dividend-focused portfolio for retirement: Not every retiree or saver has the desire, prowess, or time to regularly focus on a stock portfolio. Using mutual funds or a financial advisor can make a lot more sense, their fees notwithstanding.But managing a portfolio of dividend stocks works well for some investors.“The key consideration was to have a comfortable income stream and not have to liquidate any equities in my portfolio to do so,” says Baker, the former aerospace engineer. “I tend to go into my portfolio every day. I’m retired. I have the time, and I enjoy doing it.”Dividend-paying stocks can make a lot of sense for retirees, many of whom face “very difficult investment decisions,” says David Katz, chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors, pointing to low bond yields and rich valuations as major headwinds.Certain dividend stocks, he says, “should allow for a healthy and growing income stream and reasonable portfolio growth over time” while providing some downside protection when needed.Based on input from Katz and other financial pros, as well as our own research,Barron’scame up with a portfolio of 10 dividend-paying stocks that retirees should consider.AT&TAT&T(T) is one of the more-discussed stocks among dividend investors, as its yield, at about 7%, is much higher than most U.S companies. A concern that many investors have is the company’s hefty debt load.Such a high yield can be a reason for investors to exit, but the entertainment, tech, and telecom conglomerate has a long history of paying a dividend—it’s a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—and some analysts like its content library and foray into streaming.Company executives are showing their support for the dividend. In a March 12 release outlining the company’s strategy and financial outlook, CEO John Stankey said in part that AT&T is “committed to sustaining the dividend at current levels and utilizing cash after dividends to reduce debt.” Chief Financial Officer John Stephens expressed a similar commitment to the dividend at a conference on March 8. “With $26 billion of free cash flow after [capital expenditure], there’s plenty of money to pay out the dividend,” he said.The last time the company declared a quarterly dividend increase occurred in December 2019, more than a year ago, boosting it by a penny, to 52 cents a share. But AT&T looks like it’s on course to at least sustain the dividend.Coca-ColaIn the 1970s,Coca-Cola(KO) ran a series of TV advertisements built around the mantra “Coke adds life.” The beverage behemoth has added a lot of yield over the years, as well, and it continues to do so—with its stock recently yielding 3.3%.Coke managed to keep its quarterly dividend at 41 cents a share last year, even though the pandemic took a big toll on restaurants, one of the company’s key sales channels.Coke earned an adjusted $1.95 a share in 2020, down from $2.11 the previous year, as sales fell 11%, to $33 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales to rebound this year to $36.7 billion, still below 2019 levels, and for the company to earn $2.14 a share.Coca-Cola maintained its dividend during the pandemic, a testament to its durability even in rough times.GEORGE FREY/BLOOMBERGDespite the headwinds, Coke’s board in February declared a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, up by a penny, or 2.4%. The company paid out $7 billion in dividends to shareholders last year—includingBerkshIre Hathaway’sWarren Buffett, who has famously enjoyed the company’s products, and dividends, for years.In an investor presentation last month, Coke listed continuing to increase its dividend as its second-highest capital-allocation priority after reinvesting in its businesses.The stock is down about 5% this year, dividends included. Still, the company should be a big beneficiary of the economy’s reopening, and its payout history bodes well for the long term.Consolidated EdisonUtilities are often lauded by investors for their durability, resiliency, and big yields. The pandemic has posed a big test for the sector, however, andConsolidated Edison(ED), whose regulated utility footprint includes New York City as well as nearby Westchester and Rockland counties, was no exception.The company earned an adjusted $4.18 a share last year, down 5% from $4.38 in 2019, on an operating revenue decline of about 3% to a little more than $12.2 billion.Still, ConEd’s “regulated utility distribution business will still contribute over 90% of adjusted earnings over the next five years,” wrote Morningstar analyst Charles Fishman recently.Regulated utility businesses are generally regarded as durable and resilient, helping to fuel increases in earnings and dividends.ConEd has boosted its dividend for 47 straight years, most recently in January to $3.10 a share annually, up by four cents, or 1.3%. That’s below the 3.5% dividend increases the company has averaged in recent years, Fishman observes, “and we expect this level of increase over the next several years due to the economic impact of Covid-19.”But he calls the dividend secure, “considering the conservative strategy of the company’s nonutility businesses and the favorable regulatory framework for its New York utilities.”Katz believes that the “stock will probably get a lift as a reopening play and a New York City recovery.”IBMIBM shares have returned about 5% this year, slightly ahead of the S&P 500, but they’ve been a laggard over longer periods owing to disappointing financial results, including weak revenue growth.But the company has been trying to change that. In 2019, for example, IBM acquired Red Hat, which offers customers a hybrid cloud platform, for about $33 billion using a combination of debt and cash. Red Hat’s sales grew 18% on a normalized basis in 2020, CEO Arvind Krishna told analysts in January. That should help solidify the dividend and grow it modestly.Gilman Hill’s Harrington sees Red Hat’s “hybrid cloud IT strategies” becoming “an increasingly meaningful driver of total revenue growth” for the company. It’s “a stock everyone loves to hate,” she says, “and, as a result, [it] has been written off.”On the plus side, the stock yields 5%, and the company has said that it’s committed to the dividend. IBM earlier this year was admitted to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats—demonstrating the consistency of dividend growth that retirement savers and retirees need for the long haul.Johnson & JohnsonWith its diversified mix of businesses, Johnson & Johnson throws off a lot of free cash flow, giving it the wherewithal to maintain its dividend and boost it through thick and thin.Case in point: Last April, as the pandemic was forcing many companies to slash or eliminate their dividends, J&J declared a quarterly payout of $1.01 a share, up 6% from 95 cents. This came even as one of its key business units, medical devices, came under pressure as customers put off elective surgeries due to the pandemic.Last year, the company, whose businesses also include consumer products and prescription drugs, paid out about $10.5 billion in dividends, or roughly half of its free cash flow.Morningstar analyst Damien Conover likes J&J’s “diverse revenue base, a developing research pipeline, and exceptional cash flow generation”—three attributes that should support the dividend and keep it growing.KelloggKellogg(K), whose signature brands include Special K, Rice Krispies, and Pringles, has lagged behind the market this year with a flattish return. But the company’s foundation looks sound, helped by its plant-based proteins under the Morningstar Farms Incogmeato label and others.The company notched organic sales growth of 6% in 2020, lifted by gains across all of its regions globally and its four major product categories: snacks, cereal, frozen food, and noodles. That helped offset headwinds that included Covid-19 and divestitures.What’s more, Kellogg paid a quarterly dividend of 57 cents a share throughout the pandemic-challenged year, and it plans to boost it by a penny in the second quarter. The stock was recently yielding 3.7%.“This means returning more cash to share owners, and it reflects our confidence in the business,” CFO Amit Banati told analysts during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call in February.The company earned $4.03 a share on an adjusted basis last year, up fractionally from $4 in 2019, and the FactSet consensus for this year is $4.01 a share. It recently fetched 15.3 times its FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate.Katz describes Kellogg as a “top-tier consumer-staples company selling at a very attractive valuation.”Procter & GambleP&G, a consumer-products giant whose brands include Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet paper, proved its dividend mettle in 2020.Last April, it declared a quarterly payout of 79.07 cents a share, an increase of 6%. The stock yields 2.4%.Operating chief Jon Moeller told analysts in January that the company had built momentum before the pandemic. That gave P&G confidence, he said, “to increase our dividend at the highest rate in many years, even as we struggled with new Covid realities.”The company ultimately benefited from heady sales of lockdown items such paper towels. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the company to earn $5.70 a share in its current fiscal year, which ends in June, up from $5.12 last year—testament to P&G’s durability and the health of its dividend.SL Green RealtyReal estate investment trusts, which are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends, are popular among income investors. This REIT could prove particularly popular postpandemic.SL Green, which owns a lot of high-profile Manhattan office buildings, is down 18.5% since last January, before the pandemic began. The company has been hit as tenants grapple with weak occupancies and many employees continue to work from home a year into the pandemic.“People were worried about workers never coming back to work in offices in New York City. I think that’s very unlikely,” says Charles Lieberman of Advisors Capital Management.He views SL Green as a good way to play the economy’s reopening. SL Green shares have been on the road to recovery, returning about 15% this year alone. The stock was recently yielding 5.2%.In March, in addition to declaring a monthly dividend of 30.33 cents a share, the company issued a special dividend of just under $1.70 a share for a total dividend of $2 a share. However, the special was paid in the form of the company’s stock—though shareholders could ask to be paid fully in cash.U.S. BancorpShares ofU.S. Bancorp(USB) have returned about 15% this year, and around 75% over the past year—and they may have room to run.Katz calls it a “top-tier super-regional bank” that’s well capitalized with a strong loan portfolio and good credit quality. “We expect them to fully benefit from an improving economy and a steepening yield curve.”The bank has several segments, giving its revenue mix some diversification: corporate and commercial banking; consumer and business banking, wealth management and investments; payment services, including for credit and debit cards; and treasury and other support for companies.The stock pays a quarterly dividend of 42 cents a share, for a yield around 3%. And that’s not all. Even though the stock has a double-digit return this year, it hasn’t done quite as well as peers such asTruist Financial(TFC) andKeyCorp(KEY). “It’s due for a catch-up trade higher,” says Katz.Verizon CommunicationsThe stock, which yields 4.4%, changes hands a reasonable 11 times the $5.06 FactSet consensus adjusted 2021 profit estimate. That estimate is up 3% from the $4.90 per share earnings last year.“Consensus is for low-single digits earnings growth, but we think that will prove too conservative and hasn’t adjusted for management’s revenue-growth guidance,” says Harrington.The company’s guidance includes 2%-plus annual service and revenue growth this year and 3%-plus in 2022 and 2023.Verizon “should benefit from an improving economy and 5G rollout,” says Katz. He adds that it “can comfortably manage through the cost of the recent and very expensive spectrum auction” for government-issued licenses that allow telecom firms to increase their network capabilities.At its investor day earlier in March, Verizon said that it was committed to its dividend, which it listed as its second capital-allocation priority after investing in the business. Verizon’s most recent dividend increase was last September, when it went to 62.75 cents a share, up 2% from 61.5 cents.If the company can hold true to its commitment, that should keep the dividend rising and make the stock one that can be relied on for income in retirement.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":251,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354241623,"gmtCreate":1617182420062,"gmtModify":1704696893105,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354241623","repostId":"1196818239","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196818239","pubTimestamp":1617181590,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196818239?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-31 17:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"President Biden will unveil his $2 trillion infrastructure plan today – here are the details","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196818239","media":"cnbc","summary":"President Joe Biden will unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package on Wednesday.The plan aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water systems, broadband and manufacturing, among other goals.An increase in the corporate tax rate to 28% and measures designed to prevent offshoring of profits will fund the spending, according to the White House.PresidentJoe Bidenwill unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday as his administra","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nPresident Joe Biden will unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package on Wednesday.\nThe plan aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/biden-infrastructure-plan-includes-corporate-tax-hike-transportation-spending.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;

The administration aims to approve a first proposal designed to create jobs, revamp U.S. infrastructure and fight climate change before it turns toward a second plan to improve education and expand paid leave and health-care coverage.\nThrough the plan announced Wednesday, the White House aims to show it can “revitalize our national imagination and put millions of Americans to work right now,” the administration official said.\nThe White House plans to fund the spending by raising the corporate tax rate to 28%. Republicans slashed the levy to 21% from 35% as part of their 2017 tax law.\nThe administration also aims to boost the global minimum tax for multinational corporations and ensure they pay at least 21%. The White House also aims to discourage firms from listing tax havens as their address and writing off expenses related to offshoring, among other reforms.\nBiden hopes the package will create manufacturing jobs and rescue failing American infrastructure as the country tries to emerge from the shadow of Covid-19. He and congressional Democrats also aim to combat climate change and start a transition to cleaner energy sources.\nThe president was set to announce his plans in Pittsburgh, a city where organized labor has a strong presence and the economy has undergone a shift from traditional manufacturing and mining to health care and technology. Biden, who has pledged to create union jobs as part of the infrastructure plan, launched his presidential campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in 2019.\nWhile Democrats narrowly control both chambers of Congress, the party faces challenges in passing the infrastructure plan. The GOP broadly supports efforts to rebuild roads, bridges and airports and expand broadband access, but Republicans oppose tax hikes as part of the process.\n“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called infrastructure proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said earlier this month.\nBiden has said he hopes to win Republican support for an infrastructure bill. If Democrats cannot get 10 GOP senators on board, they will have to try to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would not require any Republicans to back the plan in a chamber split 50-50 by party.\nThey would also have to consider whether to package the physical infrastructure plans with other recovery policies including universal pre-K and expanded paid leave. Republicans likely would not back more spending to boost the social safety net, especially if Democrats move to hike taxes on the wealthy to fund programs.\nThe administration official did not say whether Biden would seek to pass the plan with bipartisan support.\n“We will begin and will already have begun to do extensive outreach to our counterparts in Congress,” the official said.\nAsked Monday about how the bill could pass, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the mechanics of bill passing to [Senate Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer and other leaders in Congress.”\nAs of now, Democrats will have two more shots at budget reconciliation before the 2022 midterms. Schumer, D-N.Y., hopes to convince the chamber’s parliamentarian to allow Democrats to use the process at least once more beyond those two opportunities, according to NBC News.\nThe party passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package without a Republican vote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360659160,"gmtCreate":1613910907050,"gmtModify":1704885862628,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No","listText":"No","text":"No","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360659160","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 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":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385209899,"gmtCreate":1613551269911,"gmtModify":1704881894377,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385209899","repostId":"1168862133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168862133","pubTimestamp":1613024272,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168862133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-11 14:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168862133","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat","content":"<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now. This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.</p>\n<p>For the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “<i>living from paycheck to paycheck</i>”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?\nWell, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.\nTop Fintech Stocks To Watch\n\nMogo Inc.(NASDAQ: MOGO)\nPayPal Holdings Inc.(NASDAQ: PYPL)\nSquare Inc.(NYSE: SQ)\nGreen Dot Corporation(NYSE: GDOT)\n\nMogo Inc.\nStarting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.\nFor starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?\nPayPal Holdings Inc.\nFollowing that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.\nFor one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.The “Pay in 4” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.\nSquare Inc.\nAnother top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?\nWell, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?\nGreen Dot Corporation\nUndoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.\nFor the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “living from paycheck to paycheck”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":382460967,"gmtCreate":1613476142259,"gmtModify":1704880891941,"author":{"id":"3573187894762433","authorId":"3573187894762433","name":"EB","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f58a4952cf251f196325e891b78048ea","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573187894762433","authorIdStr":"3573187894762433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/382460967","repostId":"1141665040","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141665040","pubTimestamp":1613445230,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141665040?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-16 11:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Walmart earnings, retail sales, and housing data: What to know in the week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141665040","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Once traders return from Monday's Presidents Day holiday, data on the strength of the U.S. consumer ","content":"<p>Once traders return from Monday's Presidents Day holiday, data on the strength of the U.S. consumer will be in focus, with the Commerce Department's monthly retail sales report and earnings results from retail giant Walmart (WMT) each on tap. A bevy of housing data is also due for release.</p><p>Consensus economists are looking for retail sales to rise by 0.9% in January over December, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. This would mark the first increase in three months after a year-end slump, and coincide with the rollout of stimulus checks to most Americans.</p><p>\"The 1.2% month-over-month rebound in retail sales we expect in January is partly due to a price-related increase in gasoline sales, but we think underlying control group and food services spending also picked up for the first time since September,\" Michael Pearce, senior U.S. economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a note Friday. \"Stimulus checks hit most Americans' bank accounts in early January, and new infection numbers fell throughout the month in most states. A rate of high-frequency indicators, including card transaction data, suggest that spending has begun to stabilize or even edge up.\"</p><p>Recent credit card transaction data from Bank of America appeared to reflect stronger purchasing trends at the beginning of the year.</p><p>\"Since the beginning of the year, total card spending is running at an average 5.6% year-over-year pace, up notably from the December average of 2.5% year-over-year,\" Bank of America economists Michelle Meyer and Anna Zhou wrote in a note last week. \"Looking at the monthly average, we find that retail sales ex-autos increased an impressive 4.6% month-over-month seasonally adjusted for January, setting up for what we expect to be a very strong Census Bureau report on February 17.\"</p><p>December's 0.7% drop in monthly retail salescame as sales at restaurants, bars, department stores and electronic stores slid further. Even sales in the category of \"non-store retailers\" — which approximates e-commerce sales — fell in December, but remained higher by more than 19% over the same month last year. And while retail sales have fallen on a month-over-month basis for the past three months, they have remained higher year-over-year to exceed pre-COVID levels since the summer.</p><p><b>Walmart earnings</b></p><p>One retailer in particular, however, has so far seen sales consistently power higher throughout much of the pandemic. Walmart's fourth-quarter results, due for release Thursday afternoon, are likely to show another surge in sales growth and profitability, as customers especially turned to big-box retailers to consolidate shopping trips during the pandemic.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6400e641e7f6494ebb06e8de75b4332\" tg-width=\"959\" tg-height=\"640\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>A worker and a shopper are seen wearing masks at a Walmart store, in North Brunswick, New Jersey, U.S. July 20, 2020. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz</span></p><p>Same-store sales in theU.S. are expected to grow another 6.4%,matching the growth rate from the third quarter. Investors will also be looking to see whether Walmart managed to maintain momentum in e-commerce to keep pace with competitors like Amazon (AMZN) and Target (TGT). The companygrew e-commerce sales 79%in the third quarter, though this slowed from the97% rate from the prior period.Walmart's management also offered only scant details on the rollout of Walmart+, its competitor to Amazon Prime, which launched in September. And so far the company has not officially disclosed the number of paid members to the subscription service. Plus, COVID-19 costs may have continued to cut into the company's margins: Walmart reported $600 million in incremental expenses due to the virus in the third quarter, mostly due to bonuses for employees and safety measures.</p><p>Results from Walmart's fiscal fourth quarter, which spans from November through January, will also include impacts fromBlack Friday and the holiday shopping season,which took on a different format this year due to the pandemic. Walmart offered additional days of Black Friday deals on its website and in stores to mitigate some of the foot traffic to stores on the traditional shopping extravaganza, matching a similar strategy taken by peer retailers like Target around the holiday.</p><p><b>Housing data</b></p><p>The&nbsp;U.S. housing market has been one of the standout parts of the economy&nbsp;during the pandemic, with home purchases and refinances soaring against a backdrop of ultra-low interest rates.</p><p>This week's housing data is expected to reflect some moderation in this sector.</p><p>The Commerce Department's housing starts report on Thursday is expected to show that both new-home construction and permits for future construction retreated from a 14-year high. December's housing starts had surged 5.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.669 million, the highest level since 2006. After such a strong year-end bounce, consensus economists are looking for starts to tick down by 0.7% in January.</p><p>\"Sharp increases in single-family homes in the Midwest and South, which led the jump in housing starts in December, appear unsustainable and likely reverted partially in January. We expect a 3.6% decline in national single-family housing starts,\" Nomura economist Lewis Alexander wrote in a note. \"That said, a broad-based rise in permits for new single-family homes in December suggests the slowdown in January should be temporary.\"</p><p>Permits, which serve as a gauge of future homebuilding, are expected to drop by 2.1% after a 4.2% jump in December, which had also brought permits to the highest level since 2006.</p><p>Existing home sales, due out from the National Association of Realtors on Friday, is also expected to show a drop compared to December, as winter weather compounded with mounting affordability and supply pressures pull down buyer activity.</p><p>\"Pending home sales, contract signings that lead existing home sales (contract closings), have remained relative weak with four consecutive monthly declines starting in September,\" Alexander added. \"While remaining at an elevated level, supply shortages and affordability concerns amid rapid home price appreciation appear to be weighing on sales.\"</p><p><b>Earnings Calendar</b></p><ul><li><p><b>Monday:</b>N/A</p></li><li><p><b>Tuesday:</b>CVS (CVS), Advance Auto Parts (AAP), Palantir (PLTR) before market open;

A rate of high-frequency indicators, including card transaction data, suggest that spending has begun to stabilize or even edge up.\"Recent credit card transaction data from Bank of America appeared to reflect stronger purchasing trends at the beginning of the year.\"Since the beginning of the year, total card spending is running at an average 5.6% year-over-year pace, up notably from the December average of 2.5% year-over-year,\" Bank of America economists Michelle Meyer and Anna Zhou wrote in a note last week. \"Looking at the monthly average, we find that retail sales ex-autos increased an impressive 4.6% month-over-month seasonally adjusted for January, setting up for what we expect to be a very strong Census Bureau report on February 17.\"December's 0.7% drop in monthly retail salescame as sales at restaurants, bars, department stores and electronic stores slid further. Even sales in the category of \"non-store retailers\" — which approximates e-commerce sales — fell in December, but remained higher by more than 19% over the same month last year. And while retail sales have fallen on a month-over-month basis for the past three months, they have remained higher year-over-year to exceed pre-COVID levels since the summer.Walmart earningsOne retailer in particular, however, has so far seen sales consistently power higher throughout much of the pandemic. Walmart's fourth-quarter results, due for release Thursday afternoon, are likely to show another surge in sales growth and profitability, as customers especially turned to big-box retailers to consolidate shopping trips during the pandemic.A worker and a shopper are seen wearing masks at a Walmart store, in North Brunswick, New Jersey, U.S. July 20, 2020. REUTERS/Eduardo MunozSame-store sales in theU.S. are expected to grow another 6.4%,matching the growth rate from the third quarter. Investors will also be looking to see whether Walmart managed to maintain momentum in e-commerce to keep pace with competitors like Amazon (AMZN) and Target (TGT). The companygrew e-commerce sales 79%in the third quarter, though this slowed from the97% rate from the prior period.Walmart's management also offered only scant details on the rollout of Walmart+, its competitor to Amazon Prime, which launched in September. And so far the company has not officially disclosed the number of paid members to the subscription service. Plus, COVID-19 costs may have continued to cut into the company's margins: Walmart reported $600 million in incremental expenses due to the virus in the third quarter, mostly due to bonuses for employees and safety measures.Results from Walmart's fiscal fourth quarter, which spans from November through January, will also include impacts fromBlack Friday and the holiday shopping season,which took on a different format this year due to the pandemic. Walmart offered additional days of Black Friday deals on its website and in stores to mitigate some of the foot traffic to stores on the traditional shopping extravaganza, matching a similar strategy taken by peer retailers like Target around the holiday.Housing dataThe U.S. housing market has been one of the standout parts of the economy during the pandemic, with home purchases and refinances soaring against a backdrop of ultra-low interest rates.This week's housing data is expected to reflect some moderation in this sector.The Commerce Department's housing starts report on Thursday is expected to show that both new-home construction and permits for future construction retreated from a 14-year high. December's housing starts had surged 5.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.669 million, the highest level since 2006. After such a strong year-end bounce, consensus economists are looking for starts to tick down by 0.7% in January.\"Sharp increases in single-family homes in the Midwest and South, which led the jump in housing starts in December, appear unsustainable and likely reverted partially in January. We expect a 3.6% decline in national single-family housing starts,\" Nomura economist Lewis Alexander wrote in a note. \"That said, a broad-based rise in permits for new single-family homes in December suggests the slowdown in January should be temporary.\"Permits, which serve as a gauge of future homebuilding, are expected to drop by 2.1% after a 4.2% jump in December, which had also brought permits to the highest level since 2006.Existing home sales, due out from the National Association of Realtors on Friday, is also expected to show a drop compared to December, as winter weather compounded with mounting affordability and supply pressures pull down buyer activity.\"Pending home sales, contract signings that lead existing home sales (contract closings), have remained relative weak with four consecutive monthly declines starting in September,\" Alexander added. \"While remaining at an elevated level, supply shortages and affordability concerns amid rapid home price appreciation appear to be weighing on sales.\"Earnings CalendarMonday:N/ATuesday:CVS (CVS), Advance Auto Parts (AAP), Palantir (PLTR) before market open; Avis Budget Group (CAR), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Devon Energy Corporation (DVN), American International Group (AIG) after market closeWednesday:Hilton Worldwide (HLT), Shopify (SHOP) before market open; Boston Beer Company (SAM), Twilio (TWLO), Marathon Oil (MRO), The Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) after market closeThursday:Walmart (WMT), Marriott (MAR) before market open; Applied Materials (AMAT), Planet Fitness (PLNT), Dropbox (DBX), TripAdvisor (TRIP), Roku (ROKU) after market closeFriday:Deere (DE) before market openEconomic CalendarMonday:N/ATuesday:Empire Manufacturing, February (6.0 expected, 3.5 in January); Total Net TIC Flows, December ($214.1 billion in November); Net Long-Term TIC Flows, December ($149.2 billion in November)Wednesday:MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended February 12 (-4.1% during prior week); Producer Price Index, month-over-month, January (0.2% expected, 0.1% in December); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, January (0.2% expected, 0.1% in December); Producer Price Index, year-over-year, January (0.8% expected, 0.8% in November); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy, year-over-year, January (1.1% expected, 1.2% in December); Retail Sales advance, month-over-month, January (0.9% expected, -0.7% in December); Retail Sales excluding autos and gas, month-over-month, January (0.9% expected, -1.4% in December); Industrial Production month-over-month, January (0.4% expected, 1.6% in December); Capacity Utilization, January (74.9% expected, 74.5% in December); NAHB Housing Market Index, February (83 expected, 83 in January); FOMC Meeting MinutesThursday:Housing starts, January (1.650 million expected, 1.669 million in December); Building Permits, January (1.670 million expected, 1.704 million in December); Initial jobless claims, week ended February 13 (793,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Feb. 6 (4.545 million during prior week); Import Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.0% expected, 0.9% in December); Export Price Index, month-over-month, January (1.0% expected, 1.1% in December)Friday:Markit US Manufacturing PMI, February preliminary (58.8 expected, 59.2 in January); Markit US Composite PMI, February preliminary (58.7 in January); Markit U.S. Services PMI, February preliminary (57.8 expected, 58.3 in January); Existing home sales, January (6.55 million expected, 6.76 million in December)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
