We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment. Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy/transaction.\"\nMainstream investors and some corporate buyers including Tesla,Square,Metromileand Nexon haveflocked to bitcoin, viewing the digital currency as a potential inflation hedge while central banks print money to relieve coronavirus-distressed economies.\nMajor Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also sought to provide their wealthy clients with bitcoin exposure.\nBut some investors, like Softbank founder Masayoshi Son, still aren't buying in to the crypto craze.\n\"There's a lot of discussion over if it's a good thing or a bad thing, what's the true value or is it in a bubble. Honestly speaking, I don't know,\" Son said at a recentearnings conference.\nWhile Tesla said it would not accept bitcoin for vehicle purchases on Wednesday, Musk specified that Tesla plans to hold rather than sell the bitcoin it already has, and would be looking into other cryptocurrencies that require less energy for transactions.\nDuring the first quarter of 2021, Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of \"digital assets,\" then sold $272 million worth. According to a financial filing from Tesla on April 26,profits from bitcoin salesspecifically allowed the company to notch a $101 million \"positive impact\" toward profitability.\nMusk has been a very public fan of bitcoin and dogecoin, tweeting and joking about these with his millions of Twitter followers over the past year.\nThis past weekend, the Tesla chief made his hosting debut on \"Saturday Night Live\" and devoted part of his opening monologue and one sketch to talking up dogecoin. Instead of helping drive up the price of the meme-inspired token, dogecoinactually tanked 30%over the course of the hour that Musk was hosting SNL.\nDuring a frenzied sell-off at that time, the popular trading platform Robinhood experienced an outage in its crypto trading.\nFollowing Musk's announcement on Thursday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the team will continue to accept bitcoin and other crpytocurrencies because \"we know that replacing Gold as a store of value will help the environment.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3563951615882018","authorId":"3563951615882018","name":"Aljh88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a65f083ad765e933d5dbb1183f3200fe","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3563951615882018","authorIdStr":"3563951615882018"},"content":"Pls lIke my Comment","text":"Pls lIke my Comment","html":"Pls lIke my Comment"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":107676122,"gmtCreate":1620489249366,"gmtModify":1704344318021,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/107676122","repostId":"1122089368","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122089368","pubTimestamp":1620457397,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1122089368?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-08 15:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Happens to Stocks and Cryptocurrencies When the Fed Stops Raining Money?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1122089368","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"To veterans of financial bubbles, there is plenty familiar about the present. Stock valuations are t","content":"<p>To veterans of financial bubbles, there is plenty familiar about the present. Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.</p><p>This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.</p><p>But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.</p><p>There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.</p><p>“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”</p><p>Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”</p><p><b>‘A bit frothy’</b></p><p>The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.</p><p>As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.</p><p>The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”</p><p>The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.</p><p>And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.</p><p>The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.</p><p>At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.</p><p><b>Running of the bulls</b></p><p>This injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&amp;P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.</p><p>Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.</p><p>Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.</p><p>Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.</p><p>Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.</p><p>Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.</p><p>Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.</p><p>Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&amp;P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.</p><p>While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.</p><p><b>Facing the future</b></p><p>It’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.</p><p>Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.</p><p>But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.</p><p>The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.</p><p>“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”</p><p>That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.</p><p>Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise. In recent months that stock-bond correlation, in place for most of the last few decades, began to disappear, said Brian Sack, a former Fed economist who is now with hedge fund D.E. Shaw &amp; Co. LP.

Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”‘A bit frothy’The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.Running of the bullsThis injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.Facing the futureIt’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise. In recent months that stock-bond correlation, in place for most of the last few decades, began to disappear, said Brian Sack, a former Fed economist who is now with hedge fund D.E. Shaw & Co. LP. He attributes that, in part, to inflation concerns.The many years since inflation dominated the financial landscape have led investors to price assets as if inflation never will have that sway again. They may be right. But if the unprecedented combination of monetary and fiscal stimulus succeeds in jolting the economy out of the last decade’s pattern, that complacency could prove quite costly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":490,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104463725,"gmtCreate":1620403910167,"gmtModify":1704343313782,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol..

That's the big question on many investors' minds at a time when stocks are, across the board, pretty overvalued.

But rather than allow yourself to get spooked, you're better off taking action. Here are a few crucial moves to make if you're worried that May is when the stock market will finally take a major turn for the worse.</p>\n<h2>1. Pad your emergency savings</h2>\n<p>What does the amount of money you have in the bank have to do with your stock portfolio? A lot, actually. If you secure your emergency fund so you have ample cash to cover unplanned expenses, you won't have to tap your investments out of desperation. That could, in turn, prevent you from needing to liquidate stocks at a time when their value has dropped substantially.</p>\n<h2>2. Diversify</h2>\n<p>A diverse portfolio could help you ride out a stock market crash, so if you're heavily invested in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two market segments right now, take the opportunity to branch out -- before things take a turn for the worse. Diversifying could simply mean buying stocks in sectors you're not currently invested in. Or you could load up on some index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that give you access to the broader market. For example, if you invest in an <b>S&amp;P 500</b> index fund or ETF, you'll effectively be putting money into the 500 largest publicly traded companies on the market. It doesn't get much more diverse than that.</p>\n<h2>3. Add dividend stocks to your portfolio</h2>\n<p>Companies that pay dividends tend to do so even when stock values are down. And that's a good way to hedge your bets. If your portfolio takes a hit, you can offset those losses with incoming dividend payments, and that's money you'll have the option to cash out and use as needed or reinvest.</p>\n<h2>4. Stockpile some cash</h2>\n<p>Market crashes tend to spell opportunity, and so it's important to have cash at the ready for when stocks go on sale. While your first priority should be to shore up your emergency fund, if you're also able to divert some extra cash to your brokerage account, you'll put yourself in a great position to pounce while stocks are temporarily discounted.</p>\n<p>Even if you're a seasoned investor who follows the market closely, you probably won't be able to predict exactly when the stock market will crash next. While a May crash is certainly possible, it's also certainly not a given. But rather than spin your wheels trying to determine when that crash is coming, you should instead focus your energy on checking off the boxes above. That way, you'll really be ready for whatever is ahead.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Think Stocks Will Crash in May?

And that's a good way to hedge your bets. If your portfolio takes a hit, you can offset those losses with incoming dividend payments, and that's money you'll have the option to cash out and use as needed or reinvest.\n4. Stockpile some cash\nMarket crashes tend to spell opportunity, and so it's important to have cash at the ready for when stocks go on sale. While your first priority should be to shore up your emergency fund, if you're also able to divert some extra cash to your brokerage account, you'll put yourself in a great position to pounce while stocks are temporarily discounted.\nEven if you're a seasoned investor who follows the market closely, you probably won't be able to predict exactly when the stock market will crash next. While a May crash is certainly possible, it's also certainly not a given. But rather than spin your wheels trying to determine when that crash is coming, you should instead focus your energy on checking off the boxes above. That way, you'll really be ready for whatever is ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":409,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":105419442,"gmtCreate":1620315625386,"gmtModify":1704341922745,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Too much of a good thing.&nbsp; Road to full recovery puts inflationary pressure.&nbsp;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-05/asia-stocks-look-steady-as-tech-drops-yields-fall-markets-wrap","listText":"Too much of a good thing.&nbsp; Road to full recovery puts inflationary pressure.&nbsp;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-05/asia-stocks-look-steady-as-tech-drops-yields-fall-markets-wrap","text":"Too much of a good thing.

Apple said Spotify wants “all the benefits of the App Store but don’t think they should have to pay anything for that,” by choosing to object to its 15-30% commission on in-app payments for streaming apps.\nApple isn’t currently facing any antitrust charges from government officials in the U.S. and such a lawsuit may never materialize, though the Department of Justice wasreportedly granted oversight of the company’s competitive practices in 2019. But even if the government declines to press charges, recent actions in Congress, state legislatures and in private lawsuits demonstrate a significant shift in the American public’s sentiment toward Apple and the tech industry at large.\nWhen the commissionslapped its first record competition fineagainstGooglein 2017, it wasn’t yet clear that the U.S. might be ready to move on from its once-cozy relationship with its booming tech industry. But in 2018, on the heels of the revelations of howFacebookuser data was used by analytics company Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 election, and increasing questions about how tech platforms can impact American democracy, that seemed to change.\nNow, as Europe continues to move forward with its probe into Apple, the U.S. no longer seems to be so far behind.\nHere’s where Apple stands to face risk of antitrust action or regulation in the U.S.:\nDOJ\nThe DOJ has already moved forward with a massive lawsuit against Google, so it could take some time if it decides to ramp up a probe into Apple. Though the DOJ’s Antitrust Division took on oversight authority of Apple in a 2019 agreement with the FTC, according to aWall Street Journal report, the Google investigation has seemed to take priority.\nStill, then-Attorney General Bill Barr announced later that year that the DOJ wouldconduct a broad antitrust review of Big Tech companies.\nAny action from the DOJ or state enforcers would take the form of a settlement or lawsuit, which would put Apple’s fate in the hands of the courts.\nPrivate lawsuits\nApple’s most immediate challenge in the U.S. has come from private companies bringing antitrust charges against its business in court.\nThe most notable of these lawsuits isfrom Fortnite-maker Epic Games, which is set to begin its trial on Monday. Epic filed its lawsuit with a PR blitz afterchallenging Apple’s in-app payment feeby advertising in its app an alternative, cheaper way to buy character outfits from Epic directly, violating Apple’s rules. That prompted Apple to remove Fortnite from its App Store. Epic filed the suit shortly after and Applefiled counterclaimsagainst Epic for allegedly breaching its contract.\n“Although Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App Store,” Apple said in a filing with the District Court for the Northern District of California in September.\nCongress\nJust last week,several app-makers testified before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust about the alleged anti-competitive harms they’ve facedfrom restrictions on both Apple and Google’s app stores.\nRepresentatives from Apple and Google told lawmakers they simply charge for the technology and the work they put into running the app stores, which have significantly lowered distribution costs for app developers over the years.\nBut witnesses from Tinder-ownerMatch Group, item-tracking device-maker Tile and Spotify painted a different picture.\n“We’re all afraid,” Match Group chief legal officer Jared Sine testified of the platforms’ broad power over their businesses.\nThe witnesses discussed the seemingly arbitrary nature by which Apple allegedly enforces its App Store rules. Spotify’s legal chief claimed Apple has threatened retaliation on numerous occasions and Tile’s top lawyer said Apple denied access to a key feature that wouldimprove their object-tracking product, before utilizing it for Apple’s own rival gadget,called AirTag.\nTile said that while Apple now makes the feature available for third-party developers to incorporate, accessing it would mean handing over a significant amount of data and control to Apple. Apple’s representative said its product is different from Tile’s and opening the feature in question will encourage further competition in the space.\nSenators at the hearing seemed receptive to the app developers’ complaints, which build on earlier claims made before House lawmakers. The House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust found in a more than year-long probe thatAmazon, Apple, Facebook and Googleall hold monopoly power, and lawmakers are currently crafting bills to enable stronger antitrust enforcement of digital markets.\nState Legislatures\nSeveral state legislatures have beenconsidering bills that would require platforms like Apple and Google to allow app-makers to use their own payment processing systems. While the bills have so far hadvarying degrees of successin the early stages of lawmaking, passage in one state could raise a host of questions about how it should be enforced given the ambiguous nature of digital borders.\nThe bills have been supported by the Coalition for App Fairness, a group of companies that have complained about app store fees, including Epic Games, Match Group and Spotify.\nApple has often argued that it maintains features like payments within its own ecosystem in order to protect consumers and secure their data, though app developers and lawmakers have expressed skepticism about that reasoning.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":406,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":103974208,"gmtCreate":1619745701104,"gmtModify":1704271730793,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"@comfortdelgro TTSH effect..

Facebook’s net income grew 94% to $9.5 billion, from $4.9 billion a year prior.\nFacebook attributed the significant increase in revenue to a 30% year-over-year increase in the average price per ad and a 12% increase in the number of ads delivered.\nFacebook said it expects its revenue growth to remain stable or accelerate modestly in the second quarter compared with slower growth a year prior due to the pandemic. The company, however, expects revenue growth in the third and fourth quarters to significantly decelerate sequentially compared with fast growth experienced during those periods a year prior as a result of the pandemic.\nAdditionally, the company is bracing for “ad targeting headwinds” as a result of regulatory and platform challenges. Most notably, this includes Apple’s recent privacy changes in iOS 14 that may make it more difficult for the company to personalize ads for iPhone and iPad users. This iOS 14 change will begin having an impact on Facebook’s ad targeting in the second quarter.\nFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about the company’sfocus on building e-commerce featuresas a key part of deliveringa “personalized” experienceto users. Zuckerberg also announced that the company now counts more than 1 billion monthly active users who visit Facebook’s Marketplace service, where users can buy and sell goods.\n“Commerce have been growing in our services for a while, but it has become a lot more important as the pandemic has accelerated a broader shift towards businesses moving online,” Zuckerberg said.\nZuckerberg also reiterated a number of new features the company is building forInstagram creators to make money. He said those features will incentivize creators to post more content on Instagram.\n“If we become the best place for creators to make a living that’s going to mean that there’s better content across the services and better opportunities for community building and engaging people,” Zuckerberg said. “And that’s what we care about.”\nFacebook’s stock rose slightly following Zuckerberg’s remarks on these upcoming creator features.\nFacebook said it counts 3.45 billion monthly users across its family of apps, compared with 3.30 billion in the previous quarter. This metric is used to measure Facebook’s total user base across its main app, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.\nIn the U.S. and Canada, Facebook’s user base remained flat at 195 million daily active users for the second consecutive quarter. Its user base in Europe increased to 309 million daily active users, up from 308 million in the fourth quarter.\n\nFacebook’s “Other” revenue came in at $732 million for the quarter, up 146% compared with last year. That accounted for nearly 3% of Facebook’s revenue in the quarter. This includes sales of Oculus virtual reality headsets and Portal video-chatting devices.\nThe company also said it expects its 2021 capital expenditures to be in the range of $19 billion to $21 billion, which is down from the prior estimate of between $21 billion and $23 billion that it had provided.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":281,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"content":"Please reply to my comment!

It hasn’t provided revenue&nbsp;guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty.&nbsp;This is Apple’s second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories.&nbsp;Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.</p><p>Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers&nbsp;and businesses&nbsp;bought&nbsp;computers&nbsp;to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Apple’s strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies&nbsp;open up.</p><p>Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: “This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this&nbsp;moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days&nbsp;ahead for all of us.”</p><p>Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was “fueled by” the company’s introduction of its Mac&nbsp;laptops&nbsp;that used its own M1 chips&nbsp;for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by&nbsp;Intel.&nbsp;iPad sales were up&nbsp;nearly 79% year-over-year.</p><p>Neither of those&nbsp;results&nbsp;include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.</p><p>“We’re seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac&nbsp;…&nbsp;it continues to run just south of 50%,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “And, in China, it’s even higher than that&nbsp;…&nbsp;it’s more around two-thirds. And that speaks to people preferring to work on the Mac.”</p><p>Apple’s iPhone also reported strong results this quarter, quelling fears that the current annual cycle could slow down. Last year, Apple released iPhones with a new exterior design and 5G support, which many investors believed could prompt a major upgrade cycle, which this quarter’s results indicate.</p><p>In greater China, which includes the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan,&nbsp;Apple’s revenue increased over&nbsp;87% year-over-year to $17.73 billion, although the comparison is to a quarter last year in which China was largely shut down in the early days of the pandemic.&nbsp;Every other geographical category, including the Americas and Europe, were also up on an annual basis.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37a8b45c92174e3c9ab224d9a85f5e2d\" tg-width=\"1910\" tg-height=\"1114\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Apple’s&nbsp;high-margin&nbsp;services business, including iCloud, App Store, and subscriptions like Apple Music, also showed 26.7% growth.</p><p>One metric that Apple uses to show the growth in services is the number of subscriptions it has, which not only include its own subscriptions like Apple One, but also subscriptions through its App Store.</p><p>“We now have over 660 million paid subscriptions across the services on the platform, and that’s up 40 million from the previous quarter, which is an acceleration from 35 million,” Cook told CNBC.</p><p>However, Apple’s App Store has been challenged by lawmakers and companies that say it costs too much and has too much power. A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.</p><p>“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store. And, so, this has been just an economic gamechanger for not only the United States, but several countries around the world. And, we’re going to go in and tell our story. And we’ll see where it goes. But, we’re confident,” Cook told CNBC.</p><p>Apple’s gross margin was also unusually elevated for the company.

Alibaba remains a leading tech &amp; consumer play in high-growth China that continues to trade at a clear discount compared to most US-based tech peers. There are risks, but Alibaba seems attractive at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Hundreds Of Billions Destroyed</b></p>\n<p>Looking at Alibaba's market capitalization over the last year, there is a very clear decline in how the market values the company over time:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b2945ae7abd07b0f49f495052b1d48c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>From a peak in fall 2020, Alibaba's market cap has declined by 25% or a little more than $200 billion to date. The reasoning for that is not based on any type of fundamental slow-down, revenue decline, or similar, showcased by Alibaba's excellent results during the most recent quarters:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeea73c74f3890fadff9c321d70fdd47\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"960\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Not only has Alibaba continued to deliver revenue growth of well above 30% since then, but the company also continued to make progress in attractive high-growth spaces such as cloud computing. Alibaba's cloud unit broke even for the first time since inception as its scale is increasing, which bodes well for the future bottom-line contribution of this unit. Last but not least, Alibaba's free cash flow generation remained strong, and its margins remained attractive.</p>\n<p>Thus the big drop in the value the market ascribes to Alibaba's shares must have been caused by something else, which is market sentiment and psychology. Some negative news around Ant Financial's postponed IPO made the market fear looming regulatory pressures on Alibaba. This was exacerbated by anti-trust and anti-monopoly investigations. These were, of course, negatives, but not to the extent that the market priced them in.</p>\n<p>Looking at Alibaba's market capitalization, which declined by more than $200 billion over the last six months, one could assume that regulators would look to impose a fine of dozens or even hundreds of billions of dollars on Alibaba. That was, however, not the outcome of the investigations.</p>\n<p><b>Things Are Clearing Up For Alibaba</b></p>\n<p>Instead, Chinese regulators gave a slap on the wrist, seeking a$2.75 billion finefrom Alibaba. That sounds like a lot, but it really isn't all that much when we consider Alibaba's immense size:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9777ed30a0bc29e8fdcd0373fe98e366\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"160\"><span>Source: Alibaba filing</span></p>\n<p>Alibaba generated cash of $15.8 billion through its operations during the most recent quarter, or a little over $5 billion a month. The fine that was imposed on the company thus is equal to about two weeks' worth of cash flows. Is that a positive? No, it's a negative. Is it a large negative? In fact, it seems barely noticeable compared to Alibaba's size. We can also look at how this fine compares to Alibaba's cash holding of more than $50 billion, and, once again, we are talking about a very minor fine relative to how the company is doing. What could be a company-breaking fine for any mid-sized business will barely leave a dent in Alibaba's cash holding, and with this issue being resolved now, it is no wonder that&nbsp;shares have jumped&nbsp;following the ruling.</p>\n<p>The other theme that had pressured Alibaba's shares, Ant Financial's regulatory issues, has more or less been resolved as well. Ant Financial will be&nbsp;turned into a financial holding company, there will be some additional oversight, and there were some forced divestments. But this didn't break Ant Financial at all, and it seems questionable whether the hit to Alibaba's value was really all that material, as Alibaba is only a minority holder in Ant Financial anyways.</p>\n<p>Again, these developments that occurred over the last six months aren't positives, but they are not extremely large negatives. A $200+ billion drop in Alibaba's market capitalization seemed way overblown. The good thing about market overreactions, however, is that one can use them to get attractive entry prices (in case markets are overreacting to the downside) or attractive exit prices (in cases where markets are too exuberant).</p>\n<p>In Alibaba's case, the best time to load up on shares was when they traded for around $220 several times over the last six months. They have risen to a somewhat higher level since then, partially due to the market's realization that the $2.75 billion fine wasn't all that material, but Alibaba's shares are still looking quite inexpensive even now.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Is An Outstanding Value Among Tech Mega-Caps</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the largest companies in the world, by market capitalization, we see that most of them are tech companies, or at least tech-leaning, such as Tesla (TSLA). Alibaba stands out among those due to a quite low valuation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35e905980ec6f35fdbb0069b2386e4dd\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"521\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While others trade at 30-40 times net earnings mostly, with Amazon (AMZN) and especially Tesla trading at even higher valuations, Alibaba is valued at a very inexpensive 21 times forward earnings. This also represents a discount compared to broad US equity markets, which are trading for around 25 times forward earnings right now - at least partially due to the heavy weight of companies such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon, and Tesla.</p>\n<p>One may be inclined to conclude that Alibaba is trading at the lowest valuation among those companies due to a below-average growth outlook or below-average fundamentals, but that isn't true.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/059736c2aa39c317943026b469331d00\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"504\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While the other mega-caps have grown by 5%-40% in 2020, with an average of around 20%, Alibaba has delivered revenue growth of 35%-50% in each&nbsp;quarter of the current fiscal year. Clearly, Alibaba is growing faster than the average mega-cap, and most analysts expect that this will not change any time soon.</p>\n<p>Thanks to exposure to the high-growth, online-focused consumer market in its home country China, combined with excellent growth in additional franchises such as its cloud computing unit, Alibaba should be able to deliver compelling growth for the foreseeable future. Alibaba is an excellent play for the ongoing expansion of the Chinese economy, which just delivered&nbsp;record growth&nbsp;on a year-over-year basis.</p>\n<p>With a clean balance sheet thanks to a $50+ billion cash position, strong free cash flows, and attractive margins, Alibaba also seems like a very appropriate choice from a quality perspective.

This provides considerable upside potential in the long run.\n\nPhoto by Andrew Burton/Getty Images News via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nAlibaba(NYSE:BABA)has widely underperformed the broad market and most of its tech peers over the last six months, mainly due to worries about regulatory pressures, anti-trust legalization, etc. Most of those issues have been resolved now, and it looks like Alibaba's value wasn't really damaged to a large degree. Alibaba remains a leading tech & consumer play in high-growth China that continues to trade at a clear discount compared to most US-based tech peers. There are risks, but Alibaba seems attractive at current prices.\nHundreds Of Billions Destroyed\nLooking at Alibaba's market capitalization over the last year, there is a very clear decline in how the market values the company over time:\nData by YCharts\nFrom a peak in fall 2020, Alibaba's market cap has declined by 25% or a little more than $200 billion to date. The reasoning for that is not based on any type of fundamental slow-down, revenue decline, or similar, showcased by Alibaba's excellent results during the most recent quarters:\nSource: Investor presentation\nNot only has Alibaba continued to deliver revenue growth of well above 30% since then, but the company also continued to make progress in attractive high-growth spaces such as cloud computing. Alibaba's cloud unit broke even for the first time since inception as its scale is increasing, which bodes well for the future bottom-line contribution of this unit. Last but not least, Alibaba's free cash flow generation remained strong, and its margins remained attractive.\nThus the big drop in the value the market ascribes to Alibaba's shares must have been caused by something else, which is market sentiment and psychology. Some negative news around Ant Financial's postponed IPO made the market fear looming regulatory pressures on Alibaba. This was exacerbated by anti-trust and anti-monopoly investigations. These were, of course, negatives, but not to the extent that the market priced them in.\nLooking at Alibaba's market capitalization, which declined by more than $200 billion over the last six months, one could assume that regulators would look to impose a fine of dozens or even hundreds of billions of dollars on Alibaba. That was, however, not the outcome of the investigations.\nThings Are Clearing Up For Alibaba\nInstead, Chinese regulators gave a slap on the wrist, seeking a$2.75 billion finefrom Alibaba. That sounds like a lot, but it really isn't all that much when we consider Alibaba's immense size:\nSource: Alibaba filing\nAlibaba generated cash of $15.8 billion through its operations during the most recent quarter, or a little over $5 billion a month. The fine that was imposed on the company thus is equal to about two weeks' worth of cash flows. Is that a positive? No, it's a negative. Is it a large negative? In fact, it seems barely noticeable compared to Alibaba's size. We can also look at how this fine compares to Alibaba's cash holding of more than $50 billion, and, once again, we are talking about a very minor fine relative to how the company is doing. What could be a company-breaking fine for any mid-sized business will barely leave a dent in Alibaba's cash holding, and with this issue being resolved now, it is no wonder that shares have jumped following the ruling.\nThe other theme that had pressured Alibaba's shares, Ant Financial's regulatory issues, has more or less been resolved as well. Ant Financial will be turned into a financial holding company, there will be some additional oversight, and there were some forced divestments. But this didn't break Ant Financial at all, and it seems questionable whether the hit to Alibaba's value was really all that material, as Alibaba is only a minority holder in Ant Financial anyways.\nAgain, these developments that occurred over the last six months aren't positives, but they are not extremely large negatives. A $200+ billion drop in Alibaba's market capitalization seemed way overblown. The good thing about market overreactions, however, is that one can use them to get attractive entry prices (in case markets are overreacting to the downside) or attractive exit prices (in cases where markets are too exuberant).\nIn Alibaba's case, the best time to load up on shares was when they traded for around $220 several times over the last six months. They have risen to a somewhat higher level since then, partially due to the market's realization that the $2.75 billion fine wasn't all that material, but Alibaba's shares are still looking quite inexpensive even now.\nAlibaba Is An Outstanding Value Among Tech Mega-Caps\nLooking at the largest companies in the world, by market capitalization, we see that most of them are tech companies, or at least tech-leaning, such as Tesla (TSLA). Alibaba stands out among those due to a quite low valuation:\nData by YCharts\nWhile others trade at 30-40 times net earnings mostly, with Amazon (AMZN) and especially Tesla trading at even higher valuations, Alibaba is valued at a very inexpensive 21 times forward earnings. This also represents a discount compared to broad US equity markets, which are trading for around 25 times forward earnings right now - at least partially due to the heavy weight of companies such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon, and Tesla.\nOne may be inclined to conclude that Alibaba is trading at the lowest valuation among those companies due to a below-average growth outlook or below-average fundamentals, but that isn't true.\nData by YCharts\nWhile the other mega-caps have grown by 5%-40% in 2020, with an average of around 20%, Alibaba has delivered revenue growth of 35%-50% in each quarter of the current fiscal year. Clearly, Alibaba is growing faster than the average mega-cap, and most analysts expect that this will not change any time soon.\nThanks to exposure to the high-growth, online-focused consumer market in its home country China, combined with excellent growth in additional franchises such as its cloud computing unit, Alibaba should be able to deliver compelling growth for the foreseeable future. Alibaba is an excellent play for the ongoing expansion of the Chinese economy, which just delivered record growth on a year-over-year basis.\nWith a clean balance sheet thanks to a $50+ billion cash position, strong free cash flows, and attractive margins, Alibaba also seems like a very appropriate choice from a quality perspective. To me, the company doesn't look inferior to the major US tech companies on that basis.\nRisks To Consider\nThere are, of course, still risks that one should consider before investing. It is possible that regulators demand more change from Alibaba, or impose additional fines, although that seems relatively unlikely for now as the current anti-monopoly investigation has just been concluded. Nevertheless, Alibaba is of course dependent to some degree on the goodwill of Chinese regulators and politicians.\nOn top of that, due to a consumer-focused business model, Alibaba would seem quite vulnerable to any external shock that hits Chinese consumers hard. Since the country has weathered the current pandemic quite well and continues to deliver above-average economic growth rates, I don't think this is a likely scenario in the foreseeable future, though.\nI don't see Alibaba as an especially risky investment at all, but these factors should still be considered before making an investment, as should other potential risks that could affect the company. One should mention, however, that the top US companies are also, at least to some extent, dependent on regulatory goodwill and could see an impact from an economic downturn, thus Alibaba is not necessarily a much riskier choice than Facebook, for example.\nTakeaway\nAlibaba is a high-growth player with a strong market position in a country that continues to deliver above-average economic growth. Alibaba has strong fundamentals, and yet it trades at a quite inexpensive valuation, both on an absolute basis as well as compared to how other mega-caps are valued.\nAlibaba isn't a risk-less stock, but the risks seem quite bearable to me. At just 17 times 2022's net earnings, Alibaba looks attractive to me. Since the Ant Financial and anti-monopoly issues have cleared up, I believe that Alibaba's shares could rise considerably from the current level, as sentiment hopefully improves. It would be great to see management encourage such an upward move by being more aggressive with share repurchases, but there is no guarantee for that.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":412,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376630678,"gmtCreate":1619107081794,"gmtModify":1704719832510,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah!&nbsp;","listText":"Yeah!&nbsp;","text":"Yeah!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376630678","repostId":"1132062035","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132062035","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":1619106591,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132062035?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-22 23:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMC Entertainment Is Up 6% Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132062035","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Better coronavirus data could be boosting confidence in the theater operator.\nShares of AMC Entertai","content":"<p>Better coronavirus data could be boosting confidence in the theater operator.</p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:AMC)&nbsp;were rising 6.5% in morning trading Thursday on no news specific to the theater operator, though there was progress being made on the coronavirus front.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eda5a78eac55275e7a12a303b7a2170b\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\"></p>\n<p>Rising or falling numbers of COVID-19 cases will impact AMC as it will determine whether people are&nbsp;ready to return to movie theaters&nbsp;in large numbers.

In the balance of the article, I will draw out why I believe the recent 13% 2-day drop represents a buying opportunity and what I am doing about it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bc335c705d7d69dd0f57c36362b0fea\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Two-day price action: Pinterest</span></p>\n<p><b>Price and Performance</b></p>\n<p>In one sense, investors, who bought just before the \"shelter in place\" orders became widespread, have to be pretty happy as the stock is up fourfold in that time. Yet, this rapid rise in price does not seem to be the result of \"irrational exuberance\". Rather, as you can see below, the price action has almost perfectly mirrored the increases the company has seen in revenue and net income over the last year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89b6ca8e9f209b486a8515e1013d6c64\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Revenue, Income, and Stock Price Appreciation: Pinterest</span></p>\n<p><b>Optimism Remains</b></p>\n<p>Certainly, striking an optimistic note 13 months ago when the stock was trading at $18/share and buying today are vastly different things. I took a decent dive into the financial metrics and direction of the company to convince myself. However, after considering margin momentum, balance sheet health, consistency of earnings beats, and earnings growth projections, my optimism remains, even at $72/share.</p>\n<p><b>The Red Flag Was Really Yellow, Maybe Light Yellow</b></p>\n<p>On Friday, Jason Aycock of Seeking Alpha published a&nbsp;brief release&nbsp;noting that Cleveland Research sees a weak end to the quarter. Actually, the release wasn't even that bearish - the title was - but that headline sent the stock plunging almost immediately. It is worth noting that Aycock's last note stated that the same agencies who noted softness are actually optimistic about Pinterest's long-term prospects. In a tiny release, there was short-term pessimism with long-term optimism. Nothing, in my mind, to precipitate a 13% 2-day plunge.</p>\n<p>So, what does it all mean? Well, first let's acknowledge the stock has had a huge run-up and certainly cannot be expected to keep that pace of appreciation forever. Hey, the stock is not cheap. It is trading at 92 times forward earnings and a pause or a pullback was inevitable. At the same time, even Aycock's report was more neutral than bearish and there are no tangible numbers being thrown around to signal an end to the growth story. The company still has a popular platform with significant international growth that effectively targets&nbsp;the demographic&nbsp;(25-54-year-old females) responsible for 80% of household purchase decisions.</p>\n<p><b>Metrics That Matter</b></p>\n<p>With any growth company, I pay close attention to margin momentum and the cost of revenue. In very simple terms, I like to know how many dollars the company is spending to bring in a dollar of revenue. I also like to know what direction that metric is trending.

With any young fast-growing company, I think it is worthwhile to pay attention to the company's path to profitability as well as its financial fortitude. The first part of that equation is already in the books as the company is already profitable. Secondly, for a growth company, Pinterest sports a very healthy balance sheet. Growth is not bleeding cash. In fact, Pinterest is debt-free and has been steadily increasing its cash position.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd84d88ae9579f85a80283b8d697b953\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"464\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Microsoft - \"I'm Good\"</b></p>\n<p>Adding to my comfort level is that according to Forbes Magazine, Microsoft (MSFT) tried to buy Pinterest for $51 billion at the beginning of the year. That number represents about a 10% premium to today's stock price. When management essentially responded with a \"No, I'm good\", the obvious conclusion is that management feels its company is worth more than the offering price.</p>\n<p><b>Growth... and Value?</b></p>\n<p>Pinterest has been in rapid growth mode for the last two years and while that growth will inevitably slow, growth projections for the next 3-5 years are still above average. How does that jive with the share price? Well, one metric I often utilize is EPS estimates two years out. With that as a measuring stick, Pinterest is showing a two-year forward PE projection of 35.24. While that is not necessarily cheap, it does not seem overpriced either. A quick comparison to PayPal (PYPL) and Square (SQ) shows that Pinterest trades at a slight discount to PayPal and about a third of the valuation of Square. I do understand that these are not apples-to-apples comparisons, but one could reasonably argue that Pinterest has an even better chance to meet or exceed growth projections than the other companies in the chart.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18866548e804b71093bb13ce8ba5a9d8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"487\"><span>Forward Estimates for Pinterest, Square, and PayPal</span></p>\n<p><b>How I'm Playing It</b></p>\n<p>With its current valuation and unique social media niche, I believe that Pinterest has a better than average chance of beating or exceeding expectations over the next 3-5 years. As such, I see the stock as sitting somewhere between fairly priced and being a bargain. I already have a modest position in the stock. I have utilized the price drop to take a couple of options positions. The most recent position was one this morning in which I sold a one-week $69.50 call for $1.40, representing a potential cost basis of $68.10.

After a somewhat banal demo day in January, this was a serious tour de force.</li>\n <li>Palantir demonstrated how Foundry can have a transformative impact in two entirely different industries. This included interesting granular details.</li>\n <li>Palantir has a massive head start in an entirely new class of 'data OS' software. The entry of new competitors is a sign that demand is rising rapidly.</li>\n <li>Splunk's CTO resigned the next day. Coincidence?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Last week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Today we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Sankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.</p>\n<p>Far from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.</p>\n<p>It's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.</p>\n<p>Life Sciences</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92bbaacbc77cbdeb3f0f7247cdca929b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>The first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.</p>\n<p>The demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.</p>\n<p>On top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.</p>\n<p>Once a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Analysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8357e4bfde07d67f405f41dbd6371681\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"356\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>(Image Source: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data. As GPUs and other types of acceleration hardware become more powerful, the number of possibilities and speed at which they can be analyzed will continue to increase.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, the information gained from this analysis can be shared with the entire team<b>without actually having to share access to sensitive data.</b>Making all of this possible is the quick unification of data from disparate sources, many different organizations with highly variable and idiosyncratic data architectures. Foundry can not only protect sensitive data, but it can cut the time needed to standardize such data from years to weeks.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>The science is really accelerated, because instead of every time reinventing the wheel, you pick the parts off the shelf that you need to use. You modify them as you want, but they're reusable so we don't have to keep designing it each time.Lots of people have large data sets, but if you make them into knowledge, or you make them usable to create knowledge, that's the secret sauce. That's what Palantir gives us. That ease of use.-Ken Gersing M.D., NCATS Director of Informatics</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The implementation of Foundry as an organizational 'data OS' continues to build value over time, acting as a repository for information that can be leveraged later. Past research that had previously uninteresting results might accelerate future research. Palantir refers to this as the creation of \"knowledge objects\", all fully traceable back to the raw data that was used to produce them.</p>\n<p><b>Industrials</b></p>\n<p>The second half of the presentation highlighted industrial applications, the most impressive of which centered around managing complex supply chains. A Palantir engineer explained how the company has worked closely with customers to integrate their needs directly into Foundry.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>We've spent years working on these problems. We've actually been able to bake these hard-earned learnings back into the platform. So, now you can apply these to a specific customer's context in a matter of weeks.So, part of this is what we call software defined data integrations. Basically taking what used to take months or even years of painful manual work, and you need specialist knowledge of the underlying data sources, and actually just replacing that with a few clicks-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, Palantir can take an insurmountable patchwork of aging ERP and CRM infrastructure and quickly integrate it into a usable platform. It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a562191824ecc2b9367c475408e7ff8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(Image sources: Palantir)</i></p>\n<p>This enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses. Foundry makes this all seem so easy and intuitive because it converts impossible levels of complexity into manageable data assets. A nontechnical user can be up and running quickly.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Previously it would have been impossible to respond with this level of understanding. But what's actually even more exciting here is that instead of manually comparing a few scenarios, I can actually choose the exact set of decisions that will optimize for the factors I care about most, which of course will change depending on the current circumstances.So while this might look simple, behind the scenes Foundry is comparing potentially thousands of possible scenarios to help this logistics manager make a final decision on the best outcome... keeping business running smoothly and customers on the move.Once I'm able to fully understand and react to today's challenges, the change models underpinning the supply chain critically allow simulation of future events to rebalance trade-offs effectively. So starting to shift from reaction to anticipation of the global supply chain.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Managers can then take things a step further, and actually analyze hypothetical future scenarios.

After a somewhat banal demo day in January, this was a serious tour de force.\nPalantir demonstrated how Foundry can have a transformative impact in two entirely different industries. This included interesting granular details.\nPalantir has a massive head start in an entirely new class of 'data OS' software. The entry of new competitors is a sign that demand is rising rapidly.\nSplunk's CTO resigned the next day. Coincidence?\n\nLast week Palantir(NYSE:PLTR)held the first of what is to be a series of demo events dubbed \"Double Click\". Streaming to an audience of just 3.4k, this event was not aimed at investors and street analysts. It was instead a deep dive aimed at management teams and policymakers assessing potential Palantir deployments. In this article, we will summarize this event, discuss its implications, and contextualize Palantir's leading position in what is now one of the hottest areas of enterprise software.\n\nToday we're building on our inaugural demo day back in January. That event brought exceptional interest in our platform from around the globe, but in particular incredible demand in the US where we just almost can't keep up....Our two platforms, Gotham and Foundry - They're operating systems for the modern enterprise. Gotham provides an end-to-end solution, from space to mud, that integrates every single sensor, every single shooter, for US and Allied defense around the world. It is a single platform that helps you understand decide and act.Foundry is by analogy that same operating system for the enterprise. It helps you understand, decide, and act. It isn't just about analytics. It's about decisions. About making better decisions.It's not just about being more efficient. It's about winning. Winning by generating sustainable alpha by outlearning the competition, and only foundry can do this. It is a completely unique offering.-Shyam Sankar, Palantir COO\n\nSankar also detailed the critical role that Palantir's software has played in the UK's pandemic response. The NHS has used Palantir's Foundry to manage the distribution of 7.5B PPE items. The NHS has gone on to use Palantir to manage the distribution of 33M+ vaccines, hundreds of SKUs of related supplies, across 2,500 vaccination sites. All of this incorporates Palantir's privacy protections, annealing theUK's strict data privacy regulations.\nFar from being some sort of log aggregator or data visualization tool, this demo illustrated how powerful Palantir's software, specifically Foundry, truly is. Whereas Palantirpreviously coveredthe more mundane and granular details of data integration and technical aspects of Palantir Apollo back in January, this was an exciting walkthrough of use-cases and applications.\nIt's difficult to understate exactly how good it was. It was a serious tour de force. Expect analysts covering Palantir to take note. We've come a long way from a time when CNBC wasspeculating that Palantir might be some sort of 'consulting services' company.\nLife Sciences\n(Image source: Palantir)\nThe first of two industries covered, Palantir made the case for Foundry's role in health sciences to be expanded beyond its current use in managing sensitive data surrounding the pandemic. Palantir covered how the same tools could accelerate clinical research, by demonstrating how sensitive health data could be analyzed in a way that complies with understandably strict regulations.\nThe demo walked through the development of a hypothetical prognostic model for lung cancer, starting with data governance. Where Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)have sought to simplyseize healthcare data in a clandestine format(the same way Google posted pictures of everyone's house online without their permission and used scale to make it seem normal), Palantir has built a platform that empowers data owners to work with researchers. They're in control.\nOn top of arobust suite of anonymization techniques, data governance teams have complete transparency into who has access to what data and why. This team assesses the researcher's request for data and makes sure that the access given is appropriate. This can be programmed to meet the desired data governance protocols.\nOnce a researcher has access to the relevant data, they must develop a prognostic model. Foundry enables this process to be drastically accelerated in several ways:\n\n...Every study starts with protocol writing and feasibility testing in order to identify a cohort of patients that is both medically relevant and large enough for statistical analysis. Foundry's cohorting app shortens this process by bringing medical experts data owners and biostatisticians to acommon interface, and building a library of reusable criteria......I can easily adjust the criteria to expand the population without needing to cycle through various data experts to check counts. Traditionally updating inclusion criteria can often take a week or more,meaning months can go by before analysis begins.Next, I need to filter to patients with lung cancer. Instead of spending weeks compiling the necessary code sets and logic to define this disease state, I can search our phenotype library and pull from the experience of other experts.-Benjamin Amor, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nAnalysis work can be done in multiple environments seamlessly, including R, Python, and SQL. These are directly integrated into Foundry. This enables Foundry to leverage the massive open source support for R, which has grown tonearly 17,500 different packages. Think of R packages like little software kits/apps for data scientists.\n\n(Image Source: Palantir)\nThis capability combines with cloud computing, giving data scientists the ability to offload computationally intensive workloads to high-performance computing centers. At the flick of a finger, a data scientist can spool up the massive computing power needed to analyze a large set of medical imaging data. As GPUs and other types of acceleration hardware become more powerful, the number of possibilities and speed at which they can be analyzed will continue to increase.\nMost importantly, the information gained from this analysis can be shared with the entire teamwithout actually having to share access to sensitive data.Making all of this possible is the quick unification of data from disparate sources, many different organizations with highly variable and idiosyncratic data architectures. Foundry can not only protect sensitive data, but it can cut the time needed to standardize such data from years to weeks.\n\nThe science is really accelerated, because instead of every time reinventing the wheel, you pick the parts off the shelf that you need to use. You modify them as you want, but they're reusable so we don't have to keep designing it each time.Lots of people have large data sets, but if you make them into knowledge, or you make them usable to create knowledge, that's the secret sauce. That's what Palantir gives us. That ease of use.-Ken Gersing M.D., NCATS Director of Informatics\n\nThe implementation of Foundry as an organizational 'data OS' continues to build value over time, acting as a repository for information that can be leveraged later. Past research that had previously uninteresting results might accelerate future research. Palantir refers to this as the creation of \"knowledge objects\", all fully traceable back to the raw data that was used to produce them.\nIndustrials\nThe second half of the presentation highlighted industrial applications, the most impressive of which centered around managing complex supply chains. A Palantir engineer explained how the company has worked closely with customers to integrate their needs directly into Foundry.\n\nWe've spent years working on these problems. We've actually been able to bake these hard-earned learnings back into the platform. So, now you can apply these to a specific customer's context in a matter of weeks.So, part of this is what we call software defined data integrations. Basically taking what used to take months or even years of painful manual work, and you need specialist knowledge of the underlying data sources, and actually just replacing that with a few clicks-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nIn other words, Palantir can take an insurmountable patchwork of aging ERP and CRM infrastructure and quickly integrate it into a usable platform. It can even combine this with granular data from IoT sensors. This can all be done at petabyte scale, and be up and running in a matter of days or weeks, without the need to build a new system from the ground up.\n(Image sources: Palantir)\nThis enables companies to better manage complex supply chains, track quality control, optimize production, respond to disruptions, and scan for potential problems or weaknesses. Foundry makes this all seem so easy and intuitive because it converts impossible levels of complexity into manageable data assets. A nontechnical user can be up and running quickly.\n\nPreviously it would have been impossible to respond with this level of understanding. But what's actually even more exciting here is that instead of manually comparing a few scenarios, I can actually choose the exact set of decisions that will optimize for the factors I care about most, which of course will change depending on the current circumstances.So while this might look simple, behind the scenes Foundry is comparing potentially thousands of possible scenarios to help this logistics manager make a final decision on the best outcome... keeping business running smoothly and customers on the move.Once I'm able to fully understand and react to today's challenges, the change models underpinning the supply chain critically allow simulation of future events to rebalance trade-offs effectively. So starting to shift from reaction to anticipation of the global supply chain.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nManagers can then take things a step further, and actually analyze hypothetical future scenarios. The granularity and accuracy of such simulations will only increase as new communications technologies (such as 5G) bring new levels of connectivity to IoT sensors and nodes.\n\nSupply chain and logistics managers were previously forced to make these incredibly complex trade-offs with only a narrow view of the available context. But now with the supply chain archetype, we can not only gain an accurate and granular view of today's risks, but can also simulate future scenarios and make adjustments to make sure ournetwork is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.So just to give you an idea of the speed and impact of the archetype, one of our industrial customers had an incredibly complex supply chain landscape with dozens of data sources, including 27 separate ERPs.With foundry, in hours they had their first integrated view of the supply chain. Within two days they were already proactively alerting on potential bottlenecks, and in just two weeks had identified around $50 million in working capital while simultaneously improving the robustness of the supply chain to react to future shocks.-Liam Mawe, Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer\n\nTo an IT executive, this probably sounds more like a miracle than a case study. The presentation on industrials also focused on a few other use-cases, but the supply chain analysis was by far the most impressive.\nDeep roots are not reached by the frost\nThe fact that a presentation that might have ignited investor interest in the stock and sent it skyrocketing wasn't promoted to investors at all tells you something very important. Demand for the type of 'data OS' that Palantir provides is heating up, and Palantir is now focused on marketing to potential customers in a very active way.\n\nThis holy grail of making data actionable by tying it into the critical business systems that power a company - turning the data warehouse into a \"central nervous system\" for the business - is what's driving incredible growth at some of the most important startups in Silicon Valley, including Canva, Drizly, Figma, Notion, Loom, Clearbit, and many more.-David Ulevitch, Andreessen Horowitz\n\nThis is evident by the fact that there has been a rush of VC capital into startup competitors. EvenNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA) is scrambling to get in on the action. Earlier this year, Palantir andIBMformed a partnership together.\nPalantir has a nearly two-decade head start, and any advantages that might have come from working on classifiedSAP/SCIlevel software.

And, once again, major market indices are at all-time highs — making these earnings reports to watch even more enticing.</p><p>It’s deja vu all over again, as the saying goes. For most of the past 11 years, stocks have kept rising, and earnings reports have been good enough to keep the rallies intact.</p><p>At the moment, this market doesn’t look much different.

That’s particularly true over the next few weeks, as the earnings calendar features some of the world’s largest companies across the market’s biggest and most important sectors. They’re the kind of companies whose reports can move entire sectors — and, in a few cases, perhaps the entire market.</p><p>For the next few weeks, earnings reports will take center stage. For this week, these are the seven earnings reports to watch:</p><ul><li><b>Coca-Cola</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KO</u></b>)</li><li><b>IBM</b>(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li><li><b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JNJ</u></b>)</li><li><b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PG</u></b>)</li><li><b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>)</li><li><b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>)</li><li><b>Intel</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>)</li></ul><p>Now, let’s dive in and take a closer look at each one.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Coca-Cola (KO)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Monday, April 19, before market open</p><p>In an uncertain environment, the broad reach of the world’s largest beverage company makes earnings this week important for almost every investor.</p><p>After all, both of the company’s channels are in uncharted waters. In supermarkets, the question is how food and beverage companies will fare against the enormously difficult comparisons of last year’s first quarter, and March specifically. In takeaway, the return to normalcy no doubt is providing some help — but how much?</p><p>Coke earnings should give some color on both sides of the business — and not just for Coke, but its rivals and peers.</p><p>It’s an important release for Coca-Cola itself. KO stock still hasn’t clawed back all of the losses it suffered in February and March of last year. Shares in fact are more than 10% off their all-time highs.</p><p>That creates an obvious opportunity. A Coca-Cola that is back to normal should lead to a KO stock that too is back to normal. Add in a dividend yield over 3% and investors would see double-digit returns. If Coca-Cola convinces investors that normalcy is just around the corner, those returns may arrive relatively quickly.</p><p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Monday, April 19, after market close</p><p>Every earnings report is key for IBM. The company is in the midst of a multi-year turnaround which still hasn’t gained real traction.</p><p>Shares still are down more than one-third from 2013 highs in a market where tech stocks have soared.

And, once again, major market indices are at all-time highs — making these earnings reports to watch even more enticing.It’s deja vu all over again, as the saying goes. For most of the past 11 years, stocks have kept rising, and earnings reports have been good enough to keep the rallies intact.At the moment, this market doesn’t look much different. Big banks kicked off earnings season last week with a slew of strong reports. The economy is in better shape than might be expected at this point. Despite selloffs in a few ‘hot’ sectors, and another brief bout of interest rate worries, investor sentiment too remains positive.Basically, corporate earnings just need to keep the party going. That’s particularly true over the next few weeks, as the earnings calendar features some of the world’s largest companies across the market’s biggest and most important sectors. They’re the kind of companies whose reports can move entire sectors — and, in a few cases, perhaps the entire market.For the next few weeks, earnings reports will take center stage. For this week, these are the seven earnings reports to watch:Coca-Cola(NYSE:KO)IBM(NYSE:IBM)Johnson & Johnson(NYSE:JNJ)Procter & Gamble(NYSE:PG)Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX)AT&T(NYSE:T)Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)Now, let’s dive in and take a closer look at each one.Earnings Reports to Watch: Coca-Cola (KO)Earnings Report Date: Monday, April 19, before market openIn an uncertain environment, the broad reach of the world’s largest beverage company makes earnings this week important for almost every investor.After all, both of the company’s channels are in uncharted waters. In supermarkets, the question is how food and beverage companies will fare against the enormously difficult comparisons of last year’s first quarter, and March specifically. In takeaway, the return to normalcy no doubt is providing some help — but how much?Coke earnings should give some color on both sides of the business — and not just for Coke, but its rivals and peers.It’s an important release for Coca-Cola itself. KO stock still hasn’t clawed back all of the losses it suffered in February and March of last year. Shares in fact are more than 10% off their all-time highs.That creates an obvious opportunity. A Coca-Cola that is back to normal should lead to a KO stock that too is back to normal. Add in a dividend yield over 3% and investors would see double-digit returns. If Coca-Cola convinces investors that normalcy is just around the corner, those returns may arrive relatively quickly.IBM (IBM)Earnings Report Date: Monday, April 19, after market closeEvery earnings report is key for IBM. The company is in the midst of a multi-year turnaround which still hasn’t gained real traction.Shares still are down more than one-third from 2013 highs in a market where tech stocks have soared. IBM saw revenue decline for22-consecutive quartersbefore breaking the streak in the fourth quarter of 2017. The top lineturned south againbefore the acquisition ofRed Hatadded inorganic growth.But now Red Hat should be integrated, and bulls see IBM’s cloud business as a potential growth driver. That optimism was enough to push IBM stock to a 52-week high late last month before a recent, modest pullback.After the really, expectations certainly aren’t sky-high, but the market no doubt is expecting progress. Anything less, and the “same old IBM” narrative likely follows earnings this week. It’s hard to see how that narrative leads to another round of new highs.Earnings Reports to Watch: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, April 20, before market openThe market quickly looked pastthe pause in J&J’s Covid-19 vaccineannounced last week. After opening down 3% on Tuesday morning, JNJ stock now is essentially flat for the week.There no doubt will be some analyst questions on the first quarter conference call about the vaccine. But investor attention likely will focus on the rest of the business, given J&Jisn’t making much profiton the vaccine.And there are real questions to be answered. J&J’s medical device business struggled in 2020, with revenue down more than 10% amid lower elective surgeries. A rebound there could signal a bottom and lift other stocks with similar exposure. The same is true for the skin health and beauty businesses within J&J’s consumer products segment.And of course the pharmaceutical remains J&J’s largest, at about 60% of revenue. Products like Stelara and Remicade are far more important to the company’s bottom line than is the Covid-19 vaccine.With normalcy returning here in 2021, J&J does seem set up for a good quarter. And that could boost optimism toward a long-term casethat remains attractive.Procter & Gamble (PG)Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, April 20, before market openCPG (consumer packaged goods) companies like P&G were early and obvious winners from the pandemic. A surge in supermarket revenue and consumer stockpiling led to unusually high growth.But normalcy is returning — which isn’t necessarily great news for P&G and its industry.

We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment. Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy/transaction.\"\nMainstream investors and some corporate buyers including Tesla,Square,Metromileand Nexon haveflocked to bitcoin, viewing the digital currency as a potential inflation hedge while central banks print money to relieve coronavirus-distressed economies.\nMajor Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also sought to provide their wealthy clients with bitcoin exposure.\nBut some investors, like Softbank founder Masayoshi Son, still aren't buying in to the crypto craze.\n\"There's a lot of discussion over if it's a good thing or a bad thing, what's the true value or is it in a bubble.

According to a financial filing from Tesla on April 26,profits from bitcoin salesspecifically allowed the company to notch a $101 million \"positive impact\" toward profitability.\nMusk has been a very public fan of bitcoin and dogecoin, tweeting and joking about these with his millions of Twitter followers over the past year.\nThis past weekend, the Tesla chief made his hosting debut on \"Saturday Night Live\" and devoted part of his opening monologue and one sketch to talking up dogecoin. Instead of helping drive up the price of the meme-inspired token, dogecoinactually tanked 30%over the course of the hour that Musk was hosting SNL.\nDuring a frenzied sell-off at that time, the popular trading platform Robinhood experienced an outage in its crypto trading.\nFollowing Musk's announcement on Thursday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the team will continue to accept bitcoin and other crpytocurrencies because \"we know that replacing Gold as a store of value will help the environment.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3563951615882018","authorId":"3563951615882018","name":"Aljh88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a65f083ad765e933d5dbb1183f3200fe","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3563951615882018","authorIdStr":"3563951615882018"},"content":"Pls lIke my Comment","text":"Pls lIke my Comment","html":"Pls lIke my Comment"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":105482909,"gmtCreate":1620316926501,"gmtModify":1704341941601,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please reply to my comment","listText":"Please reply to my comment","text":"Please reply to my comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/105482909","repostId":"2133387578","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2133387578","pubTimestamp":1620296700,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2133387578?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-06 18:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Think Stocks Will Crash in May?

Here's what you need to do to prepare.","content":"<p>When will the stock market crash? That's the big question on many investors' minds at a time when stocks are, across the board, pretty overvalued. In fact, if the stock market doesn't tank completely in the near term, investors should at the very least begin bracing for a correction, where stock values drop 10% or more.</p>\n<p>Of course, the idea of a stock market crash can be very scary, especially if you're a newer investor and you haven't experienced <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> before. But rather than allow yourself to get spooked, you're better off taking action. Here are a few crucial moves to make if you're worried that May is when the stock market will finally take a major turn for the worse.</p>\n<h2>1. Pad your emergency savings</h2>\n<p>What does the amount of money you have in the bank have to do with your stock portfolio? A lot, actually. If you secure your emergency fund so you have ample cash to cover unplanned expenses, you won't have to tap your investments out of desperation. That could, in turn, prevent you from needing to liquidate stocks at a time when their value has dropped substantially.</p>\n<h2>2. Diversify</h2>\n<p>A diverse portfolio could help you ride out a stock market crash, so if you're heavily invested in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two market segments right now, take the opportunity to branch out -- before things take a turn for the worse. Diversifying could simply mean buying stocks in sectors you're not currently invested in. Or you could load up on some index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that give you access to the broader market. For example, if you invest in an <b>S&amp;P 500</b> index fund or ETF, you'll effectively be putting money into the 500 largest publicly traded companies on the market. It doesn't get much more diverse than that.</p>\n<h2>3. Add dividend stocks to your portfolio</h2>\n<p>Companies that pay dividends tend to do so even when stock values are down. And that's a good way to hedge your bets. If your portfolio takes a hit, you can offset those losses with incoming dividend payments, and that's money you'll have the option to cash out and use as needed or reinvest.</p>\n<h2>4. Stockpile some cash</h2>\n<p>Market crashes tend to spell opportunity, and so it's important to have cash at the ready for when stocks go on sale. While your first priority should be to shore up your emergency fund, if you're also able to divert some extra cash to your brokerage account, you'll put yourself in a great position to pounce while stocks are temporarily discounted.</p>\n<p>Even if you're a seasoned investor who follows the market closely, you probably won't be able to predict exactly when the stock market will crash next. While a May crash is certainly possible, it's also certainly not a given. But rather than spin your wheels trying to determine when that crash is coming, you should instead focus your energy on checking off the boxes above. That way, you'll really be ready for whatever is ahead.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Think Stocks Will Crash in May?

Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).<b>These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX&nbsp; (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae7a60d873792b825bdda669cafa0ed3\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:</p><blockquote>When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead. As soon as markets would pause or catch a support level, that implied volatility would quickly reverse lower. <b>We often think of this analogy that if a shark stops swimming, it sinks ( partially true!). If the market stops dropping then Implied volatility sinks.</b></blockquote><p>With this, as we often talk about, lower implied volatility (ie lower VIX) signals market makers have to buy back short hedges which fuels rallies. SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.&nbsp; Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.&nbsp; Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>$544 Billion In Options Expire Today: Here's What Will Move</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;

Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX  (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead. As soon as markets would pause or catch a support level, that implied volatility would quickly reverse lower. We often think of this analogy that if a shark stops swimming, it sinks ( partially true!). If the market stops dropping then Implied volatility sinks.With this, as we often talk about, lower implied volatility (ie lower VIX) signals market makers have to buy back short hedges which fuels rallies. SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.  Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.  Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341890084,"gmtCreate":1617800314848,"gmtModify":1704703284487,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment :) thanks!!!&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment :) thanks!!!&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment :) thanks!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341890084","repostId":"1130533248","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130533248","pubTimestamp":1617799885,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1130533248?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-07 20:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The GameStop Frenzy Appears to be Over.

than 3 billion doses of vaccine in 2022, he added.\nPfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are already supplying the EU with mRNA vaccines and German biotech firm CureVac is seeking EU approval for its mRNA shot.\nThe vaccines would be delivered under monthly timetables and with clauses obliging the supplier to deliver, the EU official said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359618811,"gmtCreate":1616391593033,"gmtModify":1704793408750,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Facebook’s net income grew 94% to $9.5 billion, from $4.9 billion a year prior.\nFacebook attributed the significant increase in revenue to a 30% year-over-year increase in the average price per ad and a 12% increase in the number of ads delivered.\nFacebook said it expects its revenue growth to remain stable or accelerate modestly in the second quarter compared with slower growth a year prior due to the pandemic. The company, however, expects revenue growth in the third and fourth quarters to significantly decelerate sequentially compared with fast growth experienced during those periods a year prior as a result of the pandemic.\nAdditionally, the company is bracing for “ad targeting headwinds” as a result of regulatory and platform challenges. Most notably, this includes Apple’s recent privacy changes in iOS 14 that may make it more difficult for the company to personalize ads for iPhone and iPad users. This iOS 14 change will begin having an impact on Facebook’s ad targeting in the second quarter.\nFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about the company’sfocus on building e-commerce featuresas a key part of deliveringa “personalized” experienceto users. Zuckerberg also announced that the company now counts more than 1 billion monthly active users who visit Facebook’s Marketplace service, where users can buy and sell goods.\n“Commerce have been growing in our services for a while, but it has become a lot more important as the pandemic has accelerated a broader shift towards businesses moving online,” Zuckerberg said.\nZuckerberg also reiterated a number of new features the company is building forInstagram creators to make money. He said those features will incentivize creators to post more content on Instagram.\n“If we become the best place for creators to make a living that’s going to mean that there’s better content across the services and better opportunities for community building and engaging people,” Zuckerberg said. “And that’s what we care about.”\nFacebook’s stock rose slightly following Zuckerberg’s remarks on these upcoming creator features.\nFacebook said it counts 3.45 billion monthly users across its family of apps, compared with 3.30 billion in the previous quarter. This metric is used to measure Facebook’s total user base across its main app, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.\nIn the U.S. and Canada, Facebook’s user base remained flat at 195 million daily active users for the second consecutive quarter. Its user base in Europe increased to 309 million daily active users, up from 308 million in the fourth quarter.\n\nFacebook’s “Other” revenue came in at $732 million for the quarter, up 146% compared with last year. That accounted for nearly 3% of Facebook’s revenue in the quarter. This includes sales of Oculus virtual reality headsets and Portal video-chatting devices.\nThe company also said it expects its 2021 capital expenditures to be in the range of $19 billion to $21 billion, which is down from the prior estimate of between $21 billion and $23 billion that it had provided.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":281,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"content":"Please reply to my comment!

And, once again, major market indices are at all-time highs — making these earnings reports to watch even more enticing.</p><p>It’s deja vu all over again, as the saying goes. For most of the past 11 years, stocks have kept rising, and earnings reports have been good enough to keep the rallies intact.</p><p>At the moment, this market doesn’t look much different. Big banks kicked off earnings season last week with a slew of strong reports. The economy is in better shape than might be expected at this point. Despite selloffs in a few ‘hot’ sectors, and another brief bout of interest rate worries, investor sentiment too remains positive.</p><p>Basically, corporate earnings just need to keep the party going. That’s particularly true over the next few weeks, as the earnings calendar features some of the world’s largest companies across the market’s biggest and most important sectors. They’re the kind of companies whose reports can move entire sectors — and, in a few cases, perhaps the entire market.</p><p>For the next few weeks, earnings reports will take center stage. For this week, these are the seven earnings reports to watch:</p><ul><li><b>Coca-Cola</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KO</u></b>)</li><li><b>IBM</b>(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li><li><b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JNJ</u></b>)</li><li><b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PG</u></b>)</li><li><b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>)</li><li><b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>)</li><li><b>Intel</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>)</li></ul><p>Now, let’s dive in and take a closer look at each one.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Coca-Cola (KO)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Monday, April 19, before market open</p><p>In an uncertain environment, the broad reach of the world’s largest beverage company makes earnings this week important for almost every investor.</p><p>After all, both of the company’s channels are in uncharted waters. In supermarkets, the question is how food and beverage companies will fare against the enormously difficult comparisons of last year’s first quarter, and March specifically. In takeaway, the return to normalcy no doubt is providing some help — but how much?</p><p>Coke earnings should give some color on both sides of the business — and not just for Coke, but its rivals and peers.</p><p>It’s an important release for Coca-Cola itself. KO stock still hasn’t clawed back all of the losses it suffered in February and March of last year. Shares in fact are more than 10% off their all-time highs.</p><p>That creates an obvious opportunity. A Coca-Cola that is back to normal should lead to a KO stock that too is back to normal. Add in a dividend yield over 3% and investors would see double-digit returns. If Coca-Cola convinces investors that normalcy is just around the corner, those returns may arrive relatively quickly.</p><p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Monday, April 19, after market close</p><p>Every earnings report is key for IBM. The company is in the midst of a multi-year turnaround which still hasn’t gained real traction.</p><p>Shares still are down more than one-third from 2013 highs in a market where tech stocks have soared. IBM saw revenue decline for22-consecutive quartersbefore breaking the streak in the fourth quarter of 2017. The top lineturned south againbefore the acquisition of<b>Red Hat</b>added inorganic growth.</p><p>But now Red Hat should be integrated, and bulls see IBM’s cloud business as a potential growth driver. That optimism was enough to push IBM stock to a 52-week high late last month before a recent, modest pullback.</p><p>After the really, expectations certainly aren’t sky-high, but the market no doubt is expecting progress. Anything less, and the “same old IBM” narrative likely follows earnings this week. It’s hard to see how that narrative leads to another round of new highs.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, before market open</p><p>The market quickly looked pastthe pause in J&amp;J’s Covid-19 vaccineannounced last week. After opening down 3% on Tuesday morning, JNJ stock now is essentially flat for the week.</p><p>There no doubt will be some analyst questions on the first quarter conference call about the vaccine. But investor attention likely will focus on the rest of the business, given J&amp;Jisn’t making much profiton the vaccine.</p><p>And there are real questions to be answered. J&amp;J’s medical device business struggled in 2020, with revenue down more than 10% amid lower elective surgeries. A rebound there could signal a bottom and lift other stocks with similar exposure. The same is true for the skin health and beauty businesses within J&amp;J’s consumer products segment.</p><p>And of course the pharmaceutical remains J&amp;J’s largest, at about 60% of revenue. Products like Stelara and Remicade are far more important to the company’s bottom line than is the Covid-19 vaccine.</p><p>With normalcy returning here in 2021, J&amp;J does seem set up for a good quarter. And that could boost optimism toward a long-term casethat remains attractive.</p><p><b>Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, before market open</p><p>CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies like P&amp;G were early and obvious winners from the pandemic. A surge in supermarket revenue and consumer stockpiling led to unusually high growth.</p><p>But normalcy is returning — which isn’t necessarily great news for P&amp;G and its industry. Toilet paper sales, for instance,have plunged this yearas many consumers still are working through purchases made last year.</p><p>Those trends set up a big fiscal third quarter release for P&amp;G on Tuesday morning. PG stock has rallied in recent weeks after fading to an eight-month low in early March. A 23x forward price-to-earnings multiple is well above recent levels. And Q3 is the first of several quarters in which the company will face difficult, pandemic-driven, year-prior comparisons.</p><p>Particularly with PG up about 12% in six weeks, Q3 results need to be strong ahead of more difficult compares in fiscal Q4 and fiscal Q1. If they’re not, PG stock could stumble after the release — and bring other CPG stocks with it.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Netflix (NFLX)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, after market close</p><p>Netflix too seems like an obvious pandemic winner. Early on, NFLX stock was treated as such, as it rallied quickly off March 2020 lows and touched an all-time high in early July.</p><p>Since then, however, NFLX has been stuck. One obvious reason why is that investor attention has turned to other streaming plays such as<b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>) and direct Netflix competitors<b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>) and<b>ViacomCBS</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>VIAC</u></b>,NASDAQ:<b><u>VIACA</u></b>).</p><p>But earnings haven’t necessarily helped, either. NFLX stock did jump after January’s Q4 report despite a bottom-line miss, but the gains receded in a matter of weeks. Subscriber growthslowed in Q3, which the company attributed to the spike in sign-ups amid the pandemic.</p><p>With normalcy returning, earnings this week can set the 2021 narrative. A blowout quarter in the face of so much new competition establishes Netflix as the king of streaming, with other services simply fighting for second place. Any weakness, particularly in the subscriber count, might suggest that those new platforms are pulling Netflix subscribers away.</p><p>With the forward earnings multiple down to a more reasonable 43x, NFLX stock is cheap enough to break out if its dominance appears assured. And with incremental margins from additional subscribers driving the expected profit growth, it’s expensive enough to plunge if top-line momentum slows. This looks like a big quarter for NFLX stock — and big enough to move other streaming names as well.</p><p><b>AT&amp;T (T)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Thursday, April 22, before market open</p><p>One of those new Netflix competitors, of course, is AT&amp;T. The telecommunications giant launched its HBO Max streaming service in May. Despiteclearing 60 million worldwide subscribersby the end of last year, HBO Max hasn’t done much for T stock.</p><p>Of course, nothing has done much for the stock, which actually is down 2% over the past decade. Investors have received a generally healthy dividend, which now yields 7%. But in terms of share price appreciation, AT&amp;T stock has been the definition of ‘dead money’.</p><p>Something needs to change. It’s hard to see what that will be. HBO Max’s growth has been impressive, but the streaming business is cannibalizing revenue from DIRECTV as well as WarnerMedia’s TNT and TBS cable channels. In wireless, AT&amp;T continues to lose share to<b>Verizon Communications</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>), which reports on Wednesday morning, and a now-larger<b>T-Mobile</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TMUS</u></b>).</p><p>Simply put, beyond the dividend yield AT&amp;T hasn’t given investors a good reason to own T stock. It needs to start doing so, and Thursday morning would be a fine time to start. AT&amp;T needs to print sustainable growth either in wireless or in WarnerMedia as a whole. Of course, as the last few years show, that’s easier said than done.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Intel (INTC)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Thursday, April 22, after market close</p><p>Earnings this week look absolutely crucial for Intel. INTC plunged after back-to-back earnings reports last year amidyet another stumblein its move to the 7nm node. News in December that<b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) and<b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) weredeveloping their own chipsended a relief rally and sent the stock back to the lows.</p><p>Yet earlier this month INTC threatened its highest level since a brief 2000 peak amid the dot-com bubble. A better-than-expected Q4 release in January certainly helped. But the chip shortage has proved a catalyst as well.

And, once again, major market indices are at all-time highs — making these earnings reports to watch even more enticing.It’s deja vu all over again, as the saying goes. For most of the past 11 years, stocks have kept rising, and earnings reports have been good enough to keep the rallies intact.At the moment, this market doesn’t look much different. Big banks kicked off earnings season last week with a slew of strong reports. The economy is in better shape than might be expected at this point. Despite selloffs in a few ‘hot’ sectors, and another brief bout of interest rate worries, investor sentiment too remains positive.Basically, corporate earnings just need to keep the party going. That’s particularly true over the next few weeks, as the earnings calendar features some of the world’s largest companies across the market’s biggest and most important sectors. They’re the kind of companies whose reports can move entire sectors — and, in a few cases, perhaps the entire market.For the next few weeks, earnings reports will take center stage. For this week, these are the seven earnings reports to watch:Coca-Cola(NYSE:KO)IBM(NYSE:IBM)Johnson & Johnson(NYSE:JNJ)Procter & Gamble(NYSE:PG)Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX)AT&T(NYSE:T)Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)Now, let’s dive in and take a closer look at each one.Earnings Reports to Watch: Coca-Cola (KO)Earnings Report Date: Monday, April 19, before market openIn an uncertain environment, the broad reach of the world’s largest beverage company makes earnings this week important for almost every investor.After all, both of the company’s channels are in uncharted waters. In supermarkets, the question is how food and beverage companies will fare against the enormously difficult comparisons of last year’s first quarter, and March specifically. In takeaway, the return to normalcy no doubt is providing some help — but how much?Coke earnings should give some color on both sides of the business — and not just for Coke, but its rivals and peers.It’s an important release for Coca-Cola itself. KO stock still hasn’t clawed back all of the losses it suffered in February and March of last year. Shares in fact are more than 10% off their all-time highs.That creates an obvious opportunity. A Coca-Cola that is back to normal should lead to a KO stock that too is back to normal. Add in a dividend yield over 3% and investors would see double-digit returns. If Coca-Cola convinces investors that normalcy is just around the corner, those returns may arrive relatively quickly.IBM (IBM)Earnings Report Date: Monday, April 19, after market closeEvery earnings report is key for IBM. The company is in the midst of a multi-year turnaround which still hasn’t gained real traction.Shares still are down more than one-third from 2013 highs in a market where tech stocks have soared. IBM saw revenue decline for22-consecutive quartersbefore breaking the streak in the fourth quarter of 2017. The top lineturned south againbefore the acquisition ofRed Hatadded inorganic growth.But now Red Hat should be integrated, and bulls see IBM’s cloud business as a potential growth driver. That optimism was enough to push IBM stock to a 52-week high late last month before a recent, modest pullback.After the really, expectations certainly aren’t sky-high, but the market no doubt is expecting progress. Anything less, and the “same old IBM” narrative likely follows earnings this week. It’s hard to see how that narrative leads to another round of new highs.Earnings Reports to Watch: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, April 20, before market openThe market quickly looked pastthe pause in J&J’s Covid-19 vaccineannounced last week. After opening down 3% on Tuesday morning, JNJ stock now is essentially flat for the week.There no doubt will be some analyst questions on the first quarter conference call about the vaccine. But investor attention likely will focus on the rest of the business, given J&Jisn’t making much profiton the vaccine.And there are real questions to be answered. J&J’s medical device business struggled in 2020, with revenue down more than 10% amid lower elective surgeries. A rebound there could signal a bottom and lift other stocks with similar exposure. The same is true for the skin health and beauty businesses within J&J’s consumer products segment.And of course the pharmaceutical remains J&J’s largest, at about 60% of revenue. Products like Stelara and Remicade are far more important to the company’s bottom line than is the Covid-19 vaccine.With normalcy returning here in 2021, J&J does seem set up for a good quarter. And that could boost optimism toward a long-term casethat remains attractive.Procter & Gamble (PG)Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, April 20, before market openCPG (consumer packaged goods) companies like P&G were early and obvious winners from the pandemic. A surge in supermarket revenue and consumer stockpiling led to unusually high growth.But normalcy is returning — which isn’t necessarily great news for P&G and its industry. Toilet paper sales, for instance,have plunged this yearas many consumers still are working through purchases made last year.Those trends set up a big fiscal third quarter release for P&G on Tuesday morning. PG stock has rallied in recent weeks after fading to an eight-month low in early March. A 23x forward price-to-earnings multiple is well above recent levels. And Q3 is the first of several quarters in which the company will face difficult, pandemic-driven, year-prior comparisons.Particularly with PG up about 12% in six weeks, Q3 results need to be strong ahead of more difficult compares in fiscal Q4 and fiscal Q1. If they’re not, PG stock could stumble after the release — and bring other CPG stocks with it.Earnings Reports to Watch: Netflix (NFLX)Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, April 20, after market closeNetflix too seems like an obvious pandemic winner. Early on, NFLX stock was treated as such, as it rallied quickly off March 2020 lows and touched an all-time high in early July.Since then, however, NFLX has been stuck. One obvious reason why is that investor attention has turned to other streaming plays such asRoku(NASDAQ:ROKU) and direct Netflix competitorsDisney(NYSE:DIS) andViacomCBS(NASDAQ:VIAC,NASDAQ:VIACA).But earnings haven’t necessarily helped, either. NFLX stock did jump after January’s Q4 report despite a bottom-line miss, but the gains receded in a matter of weeks. Subscriber growthslowed in Q3, which the company attributed to the spike in sign-ups amid the pandemic.With normalcy returning, earnings this week can set the 2021 narrative. A blowout quarter in the face of so much new competition establishes Netflix as the king of streaming, with other services simply fighting for second place. Any weakness, particularly in the subscriber count, might suggest that those new platforms are pulling Netflix subscribers away.With the forward earnings multiple down to a more reasonable 43x, NFLX stock is cheap enough to break out if its dominance appears assured. And with incremental margins from additional subscribers driving the expected profit growth, it’s expensive enough to plunge if top-line momentum slows. This looks like a big quarter for NFLX stock — and big enough to move other streaming names as well.AT&T (T)Earnings Report Date: Thursday, April 22, before market openOne of those new Netflix competitors, of course, is AT&T. The telecommunications giant launched its HBO Max streaming service in May. Despiteclearing 60 million worldwide subscribersby the end of last year, HBO Max hasn’t done much for T stock.Of course, nothing has done much for the stock, which actually is down 2% over the past decade. Investors have received a generally healthy dividend, which now yields 7%. But in terms of share price appreciation, AT&T stock has been the definition of ‘dead money’.Something needs to change. It’s hard to see what that will be. HBO Max’s growth has been impressive, but the streaming business is cannibalizing revenue from DIRECTV as well as WarnerMedia’s TNT and TBS cable channels. In wireless, AT&T continues to lose share toVerizon Communications(NYSE:VZ), which reports on Wednesday morning, and a now-largerT-Mobile(NASDAQ:TMUS).Simply put, beyond the dividend yield AT&T hasn’t given investors a good reason to own T stock. It needs to start doing so, and Thursday morning would be a fine time to start. AT&T needs to print sustainable growth either in wireless or in WarnerMedia as a whole. Of course, as the last few years show, that’s easier said than done.Earnings Reports to Watch: Intel (INTC)Earnings Report Date: Thursday, April 22, after market closeEarnings this week look absolutely crucial for Intel. INTC plunged after back-to-back earnings reports last year amidyet another stumblein its move to the 7nm node. News in December thatApple(NASDAQ:AAPL) andMicrosoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) weredeveloping their own chipsended a relief rally and sent the stock back to the lows.Yet earlier this month INTC threatened its highest level since a brief 2000 peak amid the dot-com bubble. A better-than-expected Q4 release in January certainly helped. But the chip shortage has proved a catalyst as well. In this environment, Intel’s owned manufacturing capacity gives it an edge over ‘fabless’ rivalsAdvanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD) andNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA).In other words, Intel has gotten a reprieve. It’s an advantage the company absolutely must take advantage of. With INTC still trading at 14x forward earnings, the stock is cheap enough that the rally can continue if Intel doesn’t give investors a reason to sell.That might seem like a low bar to clear — but Intel’s recent history suggests otherwise.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":372,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":323494089,"gmtCreate":1615365317041,"gmtModify":1704781687760,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BS6.SI\">$YANGZIJIANG SHIPBLDG HLDGS LTD(BS6.SI)$</a>&nbsp;not much but nice..

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

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies and Spotify Technology in recent years.\nHere’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.\nWhat is Coinbase?\nThe Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.\nThere are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101834951,"gmtCreate":1619874994573,"gmtModify":1704335963515,"author":{"id":"3573260346980588","authorId":"3573260346980588","name":"ahpeh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb528ffac1ff5abf9cb2e14ad86cf5a7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573260346980588","authorIdStr":"3573260346980588"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow...","listText":"Wow...","text":"Wow...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/101834951","repostId":"1142063705","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1142063705","pubTimestamp":1619796118,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142063705?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-30 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Europe's antitrust crackdown on Apple hints at what's coming for the company in the U.S.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142063705","media":"CNBC","summary":"For a long time, the European Commission seemed to stand apart from the U.S. in cracking down on tech giants with antitrust fines againstGoogleand privacy rules like the General Data Protection Regulation.“The Commission’s argument onSpotify’sbehalf is the opposite of fair competition,” Apple said in a statement following Vestager’s announcement, referring to the music streaming company that raised the competition complaint.

Apple said Spotify wants “all the benefits of the App Store but don’t think they should have to pay anything for that,” by choosing to object to its 15-30% commission on in-app payments for streaming apps.\nApple isn’t currently facing any antitrust charges from government officials in the U.S. and such a lawsuit may never materialize, though the Department of Justice wasreportedly granted oversight of the company’s competitive practices in 2019. But even if the government declines to press charges, recent actions in Congress, state legislatures and in private lawsuits demonstrate a significant shift in the American public’s sentiment toward Apple and the tech industry at large.\nWhen the commissionslapped its first record competition fineagainstGooglein 2017, it wasn’t yet clear that the U.S. might be ready to move on from its once-cozy relationship with its booming tech industry. But in 2018, on the heels of the revelations of howFacebookuser data was used by analytics company Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 election, and increasing questions about how tech platforms can impact American democracy, that seemed to change.\nNow, as Europe continues to move forward with its probe into Apple, the U.S. no longer seems to be so far behind.\nHere’s where Apple stands to face risk of antitrust action or regulation in the U.S.:\nDOJ\nThe DOJ has already moved forward with a massive lawsuit against Google, so it could take some time if it decides to ramp up a probe into Apple. Though the DOJ’s Antitrust Division took on oversight authority of Apple in a 2019 agreement with the FTC, according to aWall Street Journal report, the Google investigation has seemed to take priority.\nStill, then-Attorney General Bill Barr announced later that year that the DOJ wouldconduct a broad antitrust review of Big Tech companies.\nAny action from the DOJ or state enforcers would take the form of a settlement or lawsuit, which would put Apple’s fate in the hands of the courts.\nPrivate lawsuits\nApple’s most immediate challenge in the U.S. has come from private companies bringing antitrust charges against its business in court.\nThe most notable of these lawsuits isfrom Fortnite-maker Epic Games, which is set to begin its trial on Monday. Epic filed its lawsuit with a PR blitz afterchallenging Apple’s in-app payment feeby advertising in its app an alternative, cheaper way to buy character outfits from Epic directly, violating Apple’s rules. That prompted Apple to remove Fortnite from its App Store. Epic filed the suit shortly after and Applefiled counterclaimsagainst Epic for allegedly breaching its contract.\n“Although Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App Store,” Apple said in a filing with the District Court for the Northern District of California in September.\nCongress\nJust last week,several app-makers testified before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust about the alleged anti-competitive harms they’ve facedfrom restrictions on both Apple and Google’s app stores.\nRepresentatives from Apple and Google told lawmakers they simply charge for the technology and the work they put into running the app stores, which have significantly lowered distribution costs for app developers over the years.\nBut witnesses from Tinder-ownerMatch Group, item-tracking device-maker Tile and Spotify painted a different picture.\n“We’re all afraid,” Match Group chief legal officer Jared Sine testified of the platforms’ broad power over their businesses.\nThe witnesses discussed the seemingly arbitrary nature by which Apple allegedly enforces its App Store rules. Spotify’s legal chief claimed Apple has threatened retaliation on numerous occasions and Tile’s top lawyer said Apple denied access to a key feature that wouldimprove their object-tracking product, before utilizing it for Apple’s own rival gadget,called AirTag.\nTile said that while Apple now makes the feature available for third-party developers to incorporate, accessing it would mean handing over a significant amount of data and control to Apple. Apple’s representative said its product is different from Tile’s and opening the feature in question will encourage further competition in the space.\nSenators at the hearing seemed receptive to the app developers’ complaints, which build on earlier claims made before House lawmakers. The House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust found in a more than year-long probe thatAmazon, Apple, Facebook and Googleall hold monopoly power, and lawmakers are currently crafting bills to enable stronger antitrust enforcement of digital markets.\nState Legislatures\nSeveral state legislatures have beenconsidering bills that would require platforms like Apple and Google to allow app-makers to use their own payment processing systems. While the bills have so far hadvarying degrees of successin the early stages of lawmaking, passage in one state could raise a host of questions about how it should be enforced given the ambiguous nature of digital borders.\nThe bills have been supported by the Coalition for App Fairness, a group of companies that have complained about app store fees, including Epic Games, Match Group and Spotify.\nApple has often argued that it maintains features like payments within its own ecosystem in order to protect consumers and secure their data, though app developers and lawmakers have expressed skepticism about that reasoning.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":406,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
