For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe.

As measured by the inflation swap market, 10-year inflation expectations fell from 2.9% in September 2012 to 0.8% in March 2020. The only significant intervening bounce came in 2016, when expectations jumped from 1.5% to 2.3% on expectations of a major stimulus deal from the Trump admin (which never materialized). It is hardly a coincidence that that was the only year in the last decade in which value outperformed growth, as the Greenlight head notes. Fast forward to now, when after bottoming in March 2020, inflation expectations have recovered to 2.5%. The trend became clearer in the middle of May, and value started outperforming growth then, and especially since the middle of February. Indeed, aince May 15, the value-heavy Greenlight returned 80% of the S&amp;P 500 index with half the net exposure.</p><p>Einhorn is even more optimistic about the future when it comes to the \"growth to value\" rotation:</p><blockquote><i>When the time comes, we will have to figure out how to perform better in deflationary periods. But for now, we believe inflation is only going one way – higher – and we are optimistic about our prospects. The wind is now at our backs. The economy is in full recovery mode. Household balance sheets are stronger than they have been in a long time and household income growth was up 13% in February compared to last year. And this is before the latest $1.9 trillion – with a “T” – pandemic relief stimulus. Corporate capital spending is booming. There are shortages and bottlenecks everywhere. Last month nearly one million jobs returned. There are signs of an emerging labor shortage.</i></blockquote><p>As for the Fed, the Greenlight boss writes that \"it fundamentally changed its framework last August. It no longer seems to care that monetary policy works with a lag. Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protect<s>the stock market and corporate bondholders</s>the economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"</p><p>The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:</p><blockquote><i>... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know?</i> <i><b>Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”?</b></i> <i>Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.</i></blockquote><p>It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:</p><blockquote><i>The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.</i></blockquote><p>To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"</p><p>Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in<i>15 minutes</i>), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. That<b>is a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.</b>\"</p><p>The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:</p><ul><li><b>Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)</b>benefitted from rising interest rates;</li><li><b>Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)</b>began its life as a public company;</li><li><b>Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)</b>benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;</li><li><b>Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)</b>was helped by the strong housing market;</li><li><b>Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)</b>agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;</li><li><b>AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)</b>agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; and</li><li><b>An undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)</b>fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.</li></ul><p><i>(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).</i></p><p>Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.</p><p>What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:</p><blockquote><i>In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts. While we do not expect this to be a permanent change, we will evaluate and modify as we go.</i> <i><b>The performance of our short portfolio in 2020 and in early 2021 was unacceptable, so change is certainly needed.</b></i> <i>If we swing a little less hard, we should hit more balls. We have also revised our internal analyst incentive structure to fully emphasize alpha creation.Much has been made of the short-squeezes in late January. In fact, Congress held hearings, where it called the leaders of Robinhood, Melvin Capital and Citadel and an individual investor who made a great call on GameStop (GME) to testify. We have a few thoughts about this to share.</i> <i><b>First, it is very healthy for market participants to discuss and debate stocks.</b></i> <i>This is true both privately and publicly. There are rules about fraud and manipulation that need to be followed,</i> <i><b>but investors discussing why they think GME (or any other stock) should go up or down ought to be encouraged. There is no reason to drag anyone before Congress for making a stock pick.</b></i> <i>Second, it is also fine to make bad stock picks.</i> <i><b>If a hedge fund takes a big position in a stock and is wrong, it loses money. Isn’t this how it is supposed to work?</b></i> <i>Third,</i> <i><b>payment for order flow is just disguised commissions.</b></i> <i>We are in a world where consumers, especially young ones, expect internet services to be free, or at least free to them. A quote widely attributed to Richard Serra about commercial TV in 1973 says it best: “You’re not the customer; you’re the product.”</i> <i><b>If you want the broker to work for you, pay a commission.</b></i> <i>Fourth, Robinhood suspended trading in certain stocks because it was undercapitalized. It is possible that it wasn’t following the regulatory requirements. A regulatory sanction is probably appropriate – but as we’ll discuss below, we won’t be holding our breath.</i></blockquote><p>The punchline:<i>Einhorn slamming Chamath and Elon for pouring the \"real jet fuel\" on the GME squeeze:</i></p><blockquote><i>Finally, we note that the real jet fuel on the GME squeeze came from Chamath Palihapitiya and Elon Musk, whose appearances on TV and Twitter, respectively, at a critical moment further destabilized the situation.</i> <i><b>Mr. Palihapitiya controls SoFi, which competes with Robinhood, and left us with the impression that by destabilizing GME he could harm a competitor.</b></i> <i>As for Mr. Musk,</i> <i><b>we are going to defend him, half-heartedly. If regulators wanted Elon Musk to stop manipulating stocks, they should have done so with more than a light slap on the wrist when they accused him of manipulating Tesla’s shares in 2018. The laws don’t apply to him and he can do whatever he wants.</b></i> <i>Many who would never support defunding the police have supported – and for all intents and purposes have succeeded – in almost completely defanging, if not defunding, the regulators. For the most part, quasi-anarchy appears to rule in markets.</i> <i><b>Sure, Dr. Michael Burry, famed for his role in The Big Short, reportedly received a visit from the SEC after tweeting warnings about recent market trends – and decided to stop publicly speaking truth to power. But for the most part, there is no cop on the beat.</b></i> <i>It’s as if there are no financial fraud prosecutors; companies and managements that are emboldened enough to engage in malfeasance have little to fear.</i></blockquote><p>Einhorn then concludes with three anecdotes to demonstrate his argument that this is not only an \"anything goes\" market where crime is rampant, but proving just how broken the market has become.</p><p>First, consider the investigation of Tether by the Office of the Attorney General of New York (OAG). As Einhorn explains, \"tether is a cryptocurrency that is always worth a dollar (the value is “tethered” to the dollar). Tether is one of the largest cryptocurrencies with about $40 billion outstanding, yet it has not been audited or regulated in any serious manner. In theory, Tether is supposed to have $1 of cash backing every Tether issued. Except it didn’t, at least when it was investigated.\" Incidentally, for anyone still confused, Tether is how theChinese launder billions in domestic funds abroad and outside the Chinese firewallas we explained in December, although so far few have the desire to expose this reality. In any case, here is Einhorn's lament:</p><blockquote><i>The OAG conducted a two-year probe and found that Tether deceived clients and the market by overstating reserves and hiding approximately $850 million of losses around the globe. Tether and its sponsor, Bitfinex, “recklessly and unlawfully covered up massive financial losses to keep their scheme going and protect their bottom lines,” said the OAG. Further, “Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.”Did the OAG shut down Tether? Did anyone get arrested or even lose their job? Was the regulatory infrastructure changed to make sure this doesn’t happen again? No, of course not. The OAG assessed an $18.5 million penalty and Tether agreed to discontinue “any trading activity with New Yorkers.” It was as if Bernie Madoff had been told to pay a small fine and stop ripping off New Yorkers, but to go ahead and have fun with the Palm Beach crowd.</i></blockquote><p>Einhorn next highlights one of the stocks most hated by the bearish community: GSX:</p><blockquote>The media is focused on how the banks allowed excessive leverage and poorly (or properly) managed their risks. The real story is how Arch-Egos was able to buy up most of the float of GSX Techedu, <b>causing the stock to soar 400% in the face of unrefuted allegations of massive fraud.</b>The SEC has an ongoing investigation of GSX but appears to not have noticed a single fund (or a small group of funds) essentially cornering the market. A traditionalist could say this was market manipulation and transparently illegal.</blockquote><p>The professional poker player finally points out some of the insane moves observed in pennystocks in Q1, focusing on a tiny deli owner in rural NJ:</p><blockquote><i>Strange things happen to all kinds of stocks. Last year, on one day in June, the stocks of about a dozen bankrupt companies roughly doubled on enormous volume. Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported a boom in penny stocks.Someone pointed us to Hometown International (HWIN), which owns a single deli in rural New Jersey. The deli had $21,772 in sales in 2019 and only $13,976 in 2020, as it was closed due to COVID from March to September.</i> <i><b>HWIN reached a market cap of $113 million on February 8.</b></i> <i>The largest shareholder is also the CEO/CFO/Treasurer and a Director, who also happens to be the wrestling coach of the high school next door to the deli. The pastrami must be amazing. Small investors who get sucked into these situations are likely to be harmed eventually, yet the regulators – who are supposed to be protecting investors – appear to be neither present nor curious.</i></blockquote><p>We don't find it at all surprising that Einhorn's conclusion from his capital markets observations over the past quarter is<i>identical</i>to ours, when we discussed the insane stock moves that dominated much of January and February:</p><blockquote><i><b>\"From a traditional perspective, the market is fractured and possibly in the process of breaking completely.\"</b></i></blockquote><p>Einhorn's full letter is below:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/519bd51d93865787f487bbfdc930c706\" tg-width=\"946\" tg-height=\"496\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1691d37b71b28794a2bc900aaf5b313e\" tg-width=\"857\" tg-height=\"687\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5d1e93a00a6d64936e9c09b9b940dbf\" tg-width=\"891\" tg-height=\"719\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c11ad8e34545a98ba8ee9c4fa8a78d9\" tg-width=\"909\" tg-height=\"477\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc8253cd105c8e2727495e1d34c6769b\" tg-width=\"887\" tg-height=\"719\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e120ac355802479930a1b1e84bf46e3e\" tg-width=\"901\" tg-height=\"528\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/28989c8e07df2deede3e092055e09e70\" tg-width=\"895\" tg-height=\"564\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d526b287d859e129d81853c0be2ace0\" tg-width=\"869\" tg-height=\"559\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8599ce79c9573aed1ca3b1266bd3400a\" tg-width=\"871\" tg-height=\"534\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ae554a242066a92e4095f35260ce325\" tg-width=\"917\" tg-height=\"639\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df45fd1c31a9a0b5a376ec0fe6037598\" tg-width=\"883\" tg-height=\"522\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b72d0f63d22768ed27882dca1e9f6048\" tg-width=\"878\" tg-height=\"420\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf93a682ea1bc652b5107e7ecf902b84\" tg-width=\"862\" tg-height=\"456\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0326abf9ee7f93425e7d4cb20e1f375\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"657\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protectthe stock market and corporate bondholdersthe economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know? Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”? Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in15 minutes), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. Thatis a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.\"The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)benefitted from rising interest rates;Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)began its life as a public company;Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)was helped by the strong housing market;Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; andAn undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts. While we do not expect this to be a permanent change, we will evaluate and modify as we go. The performance of our short portfolio in 2020 and in early 2021 was unacceptable, so change is certainly needed. If we swing a little less hard, we should hit more balls. We have also revised our internal analyst incentive structure to fully emphasize alpha creation.Much has been made of the short-squeezes in late January. In fact, Congress held hearings, where it called the leaders of Robinhood, Melvin Capital and Citadel and an individual investor who made a great call on GameStop (GME) to testify. We have a few thoughts about this to share. First, it is very healthy for market participants to discuss and debate stocks. This is true both privately and publicly. There are rules about fraud and manipulation that need to be followed, but investors discussing why they think GME (or any other stock) should go up or down ought to be encouraged. There is no reason to drag anyone before Congress for making a stock pick. Second, it is also fine to make bad stock picks. If a hedge fund takes a big position in a stock and is wrong, it loses money. Isn’t this how it is supposed to work? Third, payment for order flow is just disguised commissions. We are in a world where consumers, especially young ones, expect internet services to be free, or at least free to them. A quote widely attributed to Richard Serra about commercial TV in 1973 says it best: “You’re not the customer; you’re the product.” If you want the broker to work for you, pay a commission. Fourth, Robinhood suspended trading in certain stocks because it was undercapitalized. It is possible that it wasn’t following the regulatory requirements. A regulatory sanction is probably appropriate – but as we’ll discuss below, we won’t be holding our breath.The punchline:Einhorn slamming Chamath and Elon for pouring the \"real jet fuel\" on the GME squeeze:Finally, we note that the real jet fuel on the GME squeeze came from Chamath Palihapitiya and Elon Musk, whose appearances on TV and Twitter, respectively, at a critical moment further destabilized the situation. Mr. Palihapitiya controls SoFi, which competes with Robinhood, and left us with the impression that by destabilizing GME he could harm a competitor. As for Mr. Musk, we are going to defend him, half-heartedly. If regulators wanted Elon Musk to stop manipulating stocks, they should have done so with more than a light slap on the wrist when they accused him of manipulating Tesla’s shares in 2018. The laws don’t apply to him and he can do whatever he wants. Many who would never support defunding the police have supported – and for all intents and purposes have succeeded – in almost completely defanging, if not defunding, the regulators. For the most part, quasi-anarchy appears to rule in markets. Sure, Dr. Michael Burry, famed for his role in The Big Short, reportedly received a visit from the SEC after tweeting warnings about recent market trends – and decided to stop publicly speaking truth to power. But for the most part, there is no cop on the beat. It’s as if there are no financial fraud prosecutors; companies and managements that are emboldened enough to engage in malfeasance have little to fear.Einhorn then concludes with three anecdotes to demonstrate his argument that this is not only an \"anything goes\" market where crime is rampant, but proving just how broken the market has become.First, consider the investigation of Tether by the Office of the Attorney General of New York (OAG). As Einhorn explains, \"tether is a cryptocurrency that is always worth a dollar (the value is “tethered” to the dollar). Tether is one of the largest cryptocurrencies with about $40 billion outstanding, yet it has not been audited or regulated in any serious manner. In theory, Tether is supposed to have $1 of cash backing every Tether issued. Except it didn’t, at least when it was investigated.\" Incidentally, for anyone still confused, Tether is how theChinese launder billions in domestic funds abroad and outside the Chinese firewallas we explained in December, although so far few have the desire to expose this reality. In any case, here is Einhorn's lament:The OAG conducted a two-year probe and found that Tether deceived clients and the market by overstating reserves and hiding approximately $850 million of losses around the globe. Tether and its sponsor, Bitfinex, “recklessly and unlawfully covered up massive financial losses to keep their scheme going and protect their bottom lines,” said the OAG. Further, “Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.”Did the OAG shut down Tether? Did anyone get arrested or even lose their job? Was the regulatory infrastructure changed to make sure this doesn’t happen again? No, of course not. The OAG assessed an $18.5 million penalty and Tether agreed to discontinue “any trading activity with New Yorkers.” It was as if Bernie Madoff had been told to pay a small fine and stop ripping off New Yorkers, but to go ahead and have fun with the Palm Beach crowd.Einhorn next highlights one of the stocks most hated by the bearish community: GSX:The media is focused on how the banks allowed excessive leverage and poorly (or properly) managed their risks. The real story is how Arch-Egos was able to buy up most of the float of GSX Techedu, causing the stock to soar 400% in the face of unrefuted allegations of massive fraud.The SEC has an ongoing investigation of GSX but appears to not have noticed a single fund (or a small group of funds) essentially cornering the market. A traditionalist could say this was market manipulation and transparently illegal.The professional poker player finally points out some of the insane moves observed in pennystocks in Q1, focusing on a tiny deli owner in rural NJ:Strange things happen to all kinds of stocks. Last year, on one day in June, the stocks of about a dozen bankrupt companies roughly doubled on enormous volume. Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported a boom in penny stocks.Someone pointed us to Hometown International (HWIN), which owns a single deli in rural New Jersey. The deli had $21,772 in sales in 2019 and only $13,976 in 2020, as it was closed due to COVID from March to September. HWIN reached a market cap of $113 million on February 8. The largest shareholder is also the CEO/CFO/Treasurer and a Director, who also happens to be the wrestling coach of the high school next door to the deli. The pastrami must be amazing. Small investors who get sucked into these situations are likely to be harmed eventually, yet the regulators – who are supposed to be protecting investors – appear to be neither present nor curious.We don't find it at all surprising that Einhorn's conclusion from his capital markets observations over the past quarter isidenticalto ours, when we discussed the insane stock moves that dominated much of January and February:\"From a traditional perspective, the market is fractured and possibly in the process of breaking completely.\"Einhorn's full letter is below:","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355865231,"gmtCreate":1617061496423,"gmtModify":1704801381077,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like, reply too","listText":"Comment and like, reply too","text":"Comment and like, reply too","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355865231","repostId":"1195601571","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195601571","kind":"news","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":1617028938,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195601571?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-29 22:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tuya fell nearly 12%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195601571","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(March 29) Tuya fell nearly 12%.Tuya pricedits 43.59M ADSs IPO at $21/ADS for total offering size of","content":"<p>(March 29)&nbsp;Tuya fell nearly 12%.</p><p>Tuya pricedits 43.59M ADSs IPO at $21/ADS for&nbsp;total offering size of $915.4M;

Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>An underperforming company</h2>\n<p>Investors in 3M hope that CEO Mike Roman's restructuring initiatives will turn around its operational performance. In recent years, 3M's operating margin has been under pressure and the problems couldn't entirely be blamed on weakness in the industrial economy, as much of the disappointment came in the less economically sensitive healthcare and consumer segments.&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9857b2728b2ad5e3d8d7eaa67d5d15ba\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Operational restructuring</h2>\n<p>In response to the company's poor performance, Roman has set about restructuring the company. Among the changes, 3M now has four business segments instead of five while also streamlining the company for growth. Management has divested underperforming businesses (<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> example being its drug delivery business for $650 million in 2020), and some market participants believe it could sell its food safety business.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p>\n<p>Meanwhile as part of its efforts to spur growth in the healthcare segment, 3M bought M*Modal's technology business (artificial intelligence systems for healthcare physicians) for $1 billion, and Acelity (advanced wound care) for $6.7 billion. Both deals were completed in 2019. </p>\n<h2>Administrative changes&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>3M's management is making operational changes, and equally important, it's making organizational changes as well. A new business model has been in place since January 2020. Under the new model, business groups are now run globally, with the units running their own strategy and making their own capital allocation decisions. This is opposed to the previous model, where the businesses operated on a country basis.</p>\n<p>Roman and CFO Monish Patolawala have cited the administrative changes as instrumental in driving 3M's future growth. </p>\n<h2>The investment case for 3M</h2>\n<p>The stock's investment case is that the restructuring actions will be successful. Investors can also feel optimistic because 3M continues to generate bundles of free cash flow (FCF) that will give management the financial firepower to enact further changes or buy businesses. The company's price-to-FCF valuation is now looking very attractive.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0672e732a7a758ea485c91bfa630ee\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Guidance for 2021</h2>\n<p>Investors are hoping the fruits of management's actions start coming through in 2021. Simultaneously, the industrial economy's recovery is likely to lead to a growth pickup. Here's a summary of management's guidance given in January. Note that the more economy-aligned segments (safety and industrial and transportation and electronics) have stronger growth outlooks.</p>\n<table width=\"441\">\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>3M</th>\n   <th><p>Full-Year 2021&nbsp; Outlook</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p>Safety &amp; Industrial organic sales growth</p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p>Mid-single digits</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p>Transportation &amp; Electronics organic sales growth</p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p>Low- to high-single digits</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p>Health Care organic sales growth</p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p>Low- to mid-single digits</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p>Consumer organic sales growth</p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p>Low- to mid-single digits</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p><b>Total organic sales growth</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p><b>3%-6%</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"298\"><p>Earnings per share</p></td>\n   <td width=\"143\"><p>$9.20-$9.70</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: 3M presentations.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Near-term headwinds brewing</h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, 3M faces some near-term headwinds. There are three things to focus on:&nbsp;</p>\n<p>First, constraints in automotive vehicle production&nbsp;due to a shortage of semiconductors used in cars threaten 3M's sales in its safety and industrial and transportation and electronics segments.</p>\n<p>Second, rising raw material costs -- Patolawala cited ethylene and polypropylene costs -- mean that management now expects a $0.20 EPS headwind in 2021 compared to a previous estimate of $0.10. </p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65248251eead4b9cde998621b009ada6\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Pellets for plastics production. The rising cost of raw materials is impacting 3M's costs. Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Third, management said that elective health procedures dipped in January due to the pandemic, so don't be surprised if the first-quarter healthcare segment numbers are a little weak.</p>\n<p>All told, it looks like 3M could have a slightly disappointing start to the year, and the fact that management hasn't given specific guidance for the first quarter means it's tough to predict what will happen.</p>\n<h2>What it means for investors</h2>\n<p>Beyond the first quarter, investors still have reason to feel optimistic. The semiconductor shortage can be rectified by chip manufacturers and management said elective procedures are already coming back. Meanwhile, the EPS headwind increase from raw material prices is only $0.10 compared to a full-year EPS outlook of $9.20-$9.70.</p>\n<p>As such, the long-term investment case is still intact. However, there's some cause for caution about the first quarter, and it's going to take time for the restructuring actions to fully show up in the earnings numbers. Patience is required.&nbsp;</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>3M Stock Is Still Cheap Amid Uncertainty at the Start of 2021</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3M Stock Is Still Cheap Amid Uncertainty at the Start of 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-25 21:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/25/3m-stock-is-still-cheap-amid-uncertainty-at-the-st/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>3M (NYSE:MMM) investors will have to be patient.

This is opposed to the previous model, where the businesses operated on a country basis.\nRoman and CFO Monish Patolawala have cited the administrative changes as instrumental in driving 3M's future growth. \nThe investment case for 3M\nThe stock's investment case is that the restructuring actions will be successful. Investors can also feel optimistic because 3M continues to generate bundles of free cash flow (FCF) that will give management the financial firepower to enact further changes or buy businesses. The company's price-to-FCF valuation is now looking very attractive.\nData by YCharts\nGuidance for 2021\nInvestors are hoping the fruits of management's actions start coming through in 2021. Simultaneously, the industrial economy's recovery is likely to lead to a growth pickup. Here's a summary of management's guidance given in January. Note that the more economy-aligned segments (safety and industrial and transportation and electronics) have stronger growth outlooks.\n\n\n\n3M\nFull-Year 2021  Outlook\n\n\n\n\nSafety & Industrial organic sales growth\nMid-single digits\n\n\nTransportation & Electronics organic sales growth\nLow- to high-single digits\n\n\nHealth Care organic sales growth\nLow- to mid-single digits\n\n\nConsumer organic sales growth\nLow- to mid-single digits\n\n\nTotal organic sales growth\n3%-6%\n\n\nEarnings per share\n$9.20-$9.70\n\n\n\nData source: 3M presentations. \nNear-term headwinds brewing\nUnfortunately, 3M faces some near-term headwinds. There are three things to focus on: \nFirst, constraints in automotive vehicle production due to a shortage of semiconductors used in cars threaten 3M's sales in its safety and industrial and transportation and electronics segments.\nSecond, rising raw material costs -- Patolawala cited ethylene and polypropylene costs -- mean that management now expects a $0.20 EPS headwind in 2021 compared to a previous estimate of $0.10. \nPellets for plastics production. The rising cost of raw materials is impacting 3M's costs. Image source: Getty Images.\nThird, management said that elective health procedures dipped in January due to the pandemic, so don't be surprised if the first-quarter healthcare segment numbers are a little weak.\nAll told, it looks like 3M could have a slightly disappointing start to the year, and the fact that management hasn't given specific guidance for the first quarter means it's tough to predict what will happen.\nWhat it means for investors\nBeyond the first quarter, investors still have reason to feel optimistic. The semiconductor shortage can be rectified by chip manufacturers and management said elective procedures are already coming back. Meanwhile, the EPS headwind increase from raw material prices is only $0.10 compared to a full-year EPS outlook of $9.20-$9.70.\nAs such, the long-term investment case is still intact. However, there's some cause for caution about the first quarter, and it's going to take time for the restructuring actions to fully show up in the earnings numbers. Patience is required.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":745,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353116547,"gmtCreate":1616468874089,"gmtModify":1704794489238,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Red","listText":"Red","text":"Red","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353116547","repostId":"1170143533","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170143533","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616466452,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170143533?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-23 10:27","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Keep on Buying Alibaba Stock, Says Analyst Following Investor Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170143533","media":"yahoo","summary":"After holding investor meetings with some of Alibaba’s (BABA) top brass, Truist analystYoussef Squal","content":"<p>After holding investor meetings with some of Alibaba’s (<b>BABA</b>) top brass, Truist analystYoussef Squalilays out the simple reason why investors should consider owning shares.</p>\n<p>“BABA maintains one of the fastest top line growth rates and highest profit margin profiles among our covered Internet mega-caps, yet it's the cheapest,” Squali said.</p>\n<p>Covid-19 impacted China before the rest of the world, yet China was also the first to shake off the pandemic.

But the fate of this rally could depend greatly on President Joe Biden and his administration’s regulatory stance to the burgeoning crypto economy, experts tell MarketWatch. Here are the five biggest regulatory questions the Biden administration will face in the coming months and years that will greatly impact cyrpto investors:</p><p><b>Who will be the Comptroller of the Currency?</b></p><p>The agency in charge of chartering and supervising national banks is typically one of the more obscure federal financial regulators. But OCC has caught the attention of the crypto community through its championing of integration between the crypto economy and the legacy financial system under the brief leadership of former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, said Jackson Mueller, director of policy and government relations at the crypto consultancy Securrency.</p><p>During his eight months as acting comptroller, Brooks issued issued several guidance letters affirming the ability of nationally chartered banks to serve as&nbsp;custodians of crypto assetsand use a type of cryptocurrency called a stablecoin to make payments, among other issues. “The big issue is what happens to the guidance issued by Brooks and his team when someone else comes in,” Mueller told MarketWatch. “Do they go in a completely opposite direction and rescind that guidance?”</p><p>Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that pegs its value to some other asset. The most popular is Tether, pegged to the U.S. dollar. The crypto community is fond of these instruments because they facilitate transactions between highly volatile digital currencies —some analysts arguethat Bitcoin’s rally has been enabled by aggressive issuance of new Tether tokens.</p><p>Unlike currencies like Bitcoin and Ether, however, stablecoins are often not decentralized, but run by single companies and backed by assets held by traditional banks. Brooks’ guidance serves to give federally chartered banks the go-ahead to be a custodian for stablecoins and to use them for their own payments.</p><p>The crypto community&nbsp;was excited&nbsp;at reports that Biden would name Michael Barr, who served at the Treasury Department during the Obama administration, as comptroller. Barr had ties to several fintech companies and he served on an advisory board at Ripple, issuer of the eponymous cryptocurrency.But Barr is reportedly&nbsp;no longer in contention&nbsp;for the job after progressives in the administration protested.</p><p>Law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, an expert on the racial wealth gap, has emerged as the odds-on favorite to win the role, and crypto investors are less enthused about this pick, given the skepticism she has shown toward cryptocurrencies in the past.</p><p>“While I share many of the cryptocurrency industry’s concerns with respect to failures of the banking industry, I do not believe cryptocurrency is the best solution to the problems of financial inclusion and equity in banking,” Baradaran&nbsp;told the Senate Banking Committee in 2019, arguing instead that Congress should task the Federal Reserve with setting up a digital payments infrastructure available to all Americans.</p><p><b>Are cryptocurrencies a threat to financial stability</b>?</p><p>The OCC will not be the only financial regulator concerned with the use of stablecoins, given the growing number of observers who claim that these instruments have enabled the growth of a new “shadow” banking system that threatens the stability of the U.S. financial system.</p><p>Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan&nbsp;recently proposed a bill&nbsp;that would require issuers of stablecoins to obtain a banking charter and obtain Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or keep reserves at the Federal Reserve “to ensure that all stablecoins can be readily converted into United States dollars, on demand.”</p><p>Rohan Grey, president of the Modern Money Network, who helped craft the bill, has likened stablecoins to money market mutual funds, which came under great stress during the 2008 financial crisis.</p><p>“We were looking at history of shadow banking and the examples in which entities… would claim they’d invented an instrument that walked and talked like money, that could be used like money, could be considered roughly as safe and stable as money in most circumstances,” Grey&nbsp;told The Block&nbsp;in December. “But then at moments of crises those claims turned out to be hollow, they became a massive source of systemic risk and inevitably they’d be bailed out in the name of protecting consumers. The effect of that was to privatize gains to socialize losses.”</p><p>This issue of financial stability means that other regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, may look to regulate stablecoins in the years to come.</p><p><b>How will the government curb crypto money laundering?</b></p><p>The most immediate regulatory issue that crypto investors will have to face is an impending decision by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — a Treasury Department unit tasked with fighting money laundering and other financial crimes — on new requirements for banks and other intermediaries to maintain records and verify customer identities for certain crypto transactions.</p><p>Jerry Brito of the think tank Coin Center says that in the waning days of the Trump administration, Treasury attempted to fast track new rules that were “ill considered.” New requirements would have enabled the government to learn the owners of private crypto wallets and therefore their entire transaction history, even if that person had done nothing suspicious.</p><p>“Since the Biden administration has come in, they’ve been more deferential to FinCen, who I don’t think ever really wanted this as much as [former Treasury Secretary] Steve Mnuchin did,” he said, adding that law enforcement was wary the rules would encourage criminals to refrain from transacting with U.S.-based exchanges that are known to cooperate with criminal investigations. “The Biden administration will take a more rational approach going forward,” said Brito, who is Coin Center’s executive director.</p><p><b>What will happen with the Ripple lawsuit?</b></p><p>Gary Gensler, who is expected to be confirmed as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, will have many crypto-related issues to deal with — not least of which is a lawsuit filed in December against Ripple by the SEC.</p><p>In its complaint, the SEC accused Ripple and its executives Brad Garlinghouse and Christian Larsen of selling more than $1 billion in digital currency without registering with the SEC. While SEC officials have said publicly that they don’t believe Bitcoin or Ethereum are securities that must be registered, the lawsuit indicates that the SEC views Ripple differently.</p><p>“I’ve been surprised that the suit wasn’t filed a long time ago because Ripple is very different from Bitcoin or Ethereum,” Angela Walch, law professor and cryptocurrency expert at St. Mary’s School of Law, told MarketWatch. “It’s not truly a decentralized currency because you’ve had a single company essentially running it.”</p><p>If the SEC is victorious in its suit, that will go a long way in helping define what types of digital assets will be viewed as currencies and which will be viewed as securities, Walch added.</p><p><b>Will the SEC approve bitcoin ETFs</b>?</p><p>Crypto enthusiasts cheered Gensler’s nomination to lead the SEC, given his history of teaching blockchain and digital currencies at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Coin Center’s Brito argued that his accession to the role of chairman will be good news for the many financial services firms attempting to sell Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.</p><p>Several major financial services firms have submitted applications to offer bitcoin ETFs, incluind Wisdom Tree, Morgan Stanley&nbsp;and VanEck. Theoretically, investors might prefer bitcoin ETFs because purchasing actual bitcoin can be a hassle, as investors have to set up digital wallets or move money on to a crypto exchange. These ETFs, however, could be bought and sold much like traditional stocks.</p><p>“Gary Gensler is somebody who likes orderly markets,” Brito said. “What a better way of allowing investors to participate in this asset class in an orderly way than having a well-regulated ETF.”</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the fate of this rally could depend greatly on President Joe Biden and his administration’s regulatory stance to the burgeoning crypto economy, experts tell MarketWatch. Here are the five biggest regulatory questions the Biden administration will face in the coming months and years that will greatly impact cyrpto investors:Who will be the Comptroller of the Currency?The agency in charge of chartering and supervising national banks is typically one of the more obscure federal financial regulators. But OCC has caught the attention of the crypto community through its championing of integration between the crypto economy and the legacy financial system under the brief leadership of former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, said Jackson Mueller, director of policy and government relations at the crypto consultancy Securrency.During his eight months as acting comptroller, Brooks issued issued several guidance letters affirming the ability of nationally chartered banks to serve as custodians of crypto assetsand use a type of cryptocurrency called a stablecoin to make payments, among other issues. “The big issue is what happens to the guidance issued by Brooks and his team when someone else comes in,” Mueller told MarketWatch. “Do they go in a completely opposite direction and rescind that guidance?”Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that pegs its value to some other asset. The most popular is Tether, pegged to the U.S. dollar. The crypto community is fond of these instruments because they facilitate transactions between highly volatile digital currencies —some analysts arguethat Bitcoin’s rally has been enabled by aggressive issuance of new Tether tokens.Unlike currencies like Bitcoin and Ether, however, stablecoins are often not decentralized, but run by single companies and backed by assets held by traditional banks. Brooks’ guidance serves to give federally chartered banks the go-ahead to be a custodian for stablecoins and to use them for their own payments.The crypto community was excited at reports that Biden would name Michael Barr, who served at the Treasury Department during the Obama administration, as comptroller. Barr had ties to several fintech companies and he served on an advisory board at Ripple, issuer of the eponymous cryptocurrency.But Barr is reportedly no longer in contention for the job after progressives in the administration protested.Law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, an expert on the racial wealth gap, has emerged as the odds-on favorite to win the role, and crypto investors are less enthused about this pick, given the skepticism she has shown toward cryptocurrencies in the past.“While I share many of the cryptocurrency industry’s concerns with respect to failures of the banking industry, I do not believe cryptocurrency is the best solution to the problems of financial inclusion and equity in banking,” Baradaran told the Senate Banking Committee in 2019, arguing instead that Congress should task the Federal Reserve with setting up a digital payments infrastructure available to all Americans.Are cryptocurrencies a threat to financial stability?The OCC will not be the only financial regulator concerned with the use of stablecoins, given the growing number of observers who claim that these instruments have enabled the growth of a new “shadow” banking system that threatens the stability of the U.S. financial system.Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan recently proposed a bill that would require issuers of stablecoins to obtain a banking charter and obtain Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or keep reserves at the Federal Reserve “to ensure that all stablecoins can be readily converted into United States dollars, on demand.”Rohan Grey, president of the Modern Money Network, who helped craft the bill, has likened stablecoins to money market mutual funds, which came under great stress during the 2008 financial crisis.“We were looking at history of shadow banking and the examples in which entities… would claim they’d invented an instrument that walked and talked like money, that could be used like money, could be considered roughly as safe and stable as money in most circumstances,” Grey told The Block in December. “But then at moments of crises those claims turned out to be hollow, they became a massive source of systemic risk and inevitably they’d be bailed out in the name of protecting consumers. The effect of that was to privatize gains to socialize losses.”This issue of financial stability means that other regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, may look to regulate stablecoins in the years to come.How will the government curb crypto money laundering?The most immediate regulatory issue that crypto investors will have to face is an impending decision by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — a Treasury Department unit tasked with fighting money laundering and other financial crimes — on new requirements for banks and other intermediaries to maintain records and verify customer identities for certain crypto transactions.Jerry Brito of the think tank Coin Center says that in the waning days of the Trump administration, Treasury attempted to fast track new rules that were “ill considered.” New requirements would have enabled the government to learn the owners of private crypto wallets and therefore their entire transaction history, even if that person had done nothing suspicious.“Since the Biden administration has come in, they’ve been more deferential to FinCen, who I don’t think ever really wanted this as much as [former Treasury Secretary] Steve Mnuchin did,” he said, adding that law enforcement was wary the rules would encourage criminals to refrain from transacting with U.S.-based exchanges that are known to cooperate with criminal investigations. “The Biden administration will take a more rational approach going forward,” said Brito, who is Coin Center’s executive director.What will happen with the Ripple lawsuit?Gary Gensler, who is expected to be confirmed as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, will have many crypto-related issues to deal with — not least of which is a lawsuit filed in December against Ripple by the SEC.In its complaint, the SEC accused Ripple and its executives Brad Garlinghouse and Christian Larsen of selling more than $1 billion in digital currency without registering with the SEC. While SEC officials have said publicly that they don’t believe Bitcoin or Ethereum are securities that must be registered, the lawsuit indicates that the SEC views Ripple differently.“I’ve been surprised that the suit wasn’t filed a long time ago because Ripple is very different from Bitcoin or Ethereum,” Angela Walch, law professor and cryptocurrency expert at St. Mary’s School of Law, told MarketWatch. “It’s not truly a decentralized currency because you’ve had a single company essentially running it.”If the SEC is victorious in its suit, that will go a long way in helping define what types of digital assets will be viewed as currencies and which will be viewed as securities, Walch added.Will the SEC approve bitcoin ETFs?Crypto enthusiasts cheered Gensler’s nomination to lead the SEC, given his history of teaching blockchain and digital currencies at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Coin Center’s Brito argued that his accession to the role of chairman will be good news for the many financial services firms attempting to sell Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.Several major financial services firms have submitted applications to offer bitcoin ETFs, incluind Wisdom Tree, Morgan Stanley and VanEck. Theoretically, investors might prefer bitcoin ETFs because purchasing actual bitcoin can be a hassle, as investors have to set up digital wallets or move money on to a crypto exchange. These ETFs, however, could be bought and sold much like traditional stocks.“Gary Gensler is somebody who likes orderly markets,” Brito said. “What a better way of allowing investors to participate in this asset class in an orderly way than having a well-regulated ETF.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":157,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353022275,"gmtCreate":1616434566197,"gmtModify":1704794133831,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353022275","repostId":"1155582622","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155582622","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616426086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155582622?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Taiwan Semiconductor: High Ground Versus Low Ground","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155582622","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, is at a \"choke point\" in the semiconductor supply chain, where the company can benefit from the rigidity of industry capacity expansion to meet demand surge.TSMC’s high-ground scenario includes possessing  the most advanced high-end technology,  the largest and still rising market share, and  15% annual revenue growth from $28 billion capex.If considering both the high-ground and low-ground cases, TSM is reasonably valued at the current $110’s lev","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, is at a \"choke point\" in the semiconductor supply chain, where the company can benefit from the rigidity of industry capacity expansion to meet demand surge.</li>\n <li>TSMC’s high-ground scenario includes possessing (1) the most advanced high-end technology, (2) the largest and still rising market share, and (3) 15% annual revenue growth from $28 billion capex.</li>\n <li>TSMC’s future low-ground scenario includes (1) declining utilization rates due to fading WFH demand, (2) USD depreciations cutting into EPS, and (3) $28 billion capex cutting into future dividend payments.</li>\n <li>If considering both the high-ground and low-ground cases, TSM is reasonably valued at the current $110’s level with a moderate upside for 2021.</li>\n <li>The real excitement is that TSM may reach $170 by 2022.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59820ae2f73b142d92ed1e65f1b1085d\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Photo by Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>It is hardly an exaggeration to call Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company(NYSE:TSM)(“TSMC”) the most important company in the world. At the very least, Taiwanese call TSMC their “Protecting Taiwan God Mountain.” Considering it is practically the “choke point” of the $470 billion global semiconductor industry, TSMC is also “potentially the most single point of failure in the semiconductor value chain,”said&nbsp;Jan-Peter Kleinhans, Director of the technology and geopolitics project at Berlin-based think tank,<i>Stiftung Neue Verantwortung</i>.</p>\n<p>TSMC processes the most advanced foundry technology and the largest market share (54%) in a capacity-constrained industry. Obviously, both the company and the stock have benefited significantly from the limitation of capacity expansion to meet the surging demand. In 2020, TSMC’s revenue has grown 25%, while the stock went up over 90%. It appears that their stock has looked beyond the recent financial performance.</p>\n<p>For that purpose, in this post, I described TSMC's future with a best-case and a worst-case scenario, respectively. TSMC's high-ground is that the structural growth drivers should remain intact if the company can retain the technological advances to create a wider chip platform to support the long-term growth of AI and HPC. Short-term demand should stay strong due to the global chip shortage and possible Intel outsourcing. However, TSMC should also expect the low-ground cases that are mainly from the decreasing utilization rate, weakening USD, higher capital expenditure diluting future dividend payments, the market-wide rising yield effect, and valuation correction. I also mapped out the path of TSMC future share price movements under each scenario. Given a higher likelihood for the high-ground case, TSMC may have a 20% upside in the next 12 months and a 70% upside in the next 24 months.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC’s High Ground</b></p>\n<p>The best-case scenario assumes that TSMC will retain most of the following favorable factors which have contributed to TSMC’s 2020 gain:</p>\n<p><b>Most advanced high-end technology supports TSMC’s long-term structural growth.</b>Compared amongst peers, TSMC is easily the leader in the arcane Extreme Ultra Violet (ELV) process, where it has half the world’s installed base and&nbsp;60% of its production.By 2020, TSMC has delivered&nbsp;over 1 billion 7 nm chips, while Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)is still struggling to master its 7nm process. TSMC’s 5nm chips has lower defect rates than it did at this point in its 7nm development. It is already ramping up for 3 nm production by the end of 2022 and has begun working&nbsp;on the 2 nm process(see figure below). The lead in technology is the basis for the structural growth drivers which should remain intact in the next few years, with TSMC being the key enabler of this AI/HPC revolution.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/068ca2e4582ecb2e1a44f88ec1093900\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"429\"></p>\n<p><b>The market share hits</b>&nbsp;<b>54%</b>&nbsp;<b>and expects to rise.</b>After reporting record revenue in 2020 based on demand for 5G smartphones, notebooks for teleworking and high-performance computers, TSMC reached a commanding 54% market share with the next competitor, Samsung Electronics(OTC:SSNLF)at a distant 18%. It is expected that TSMC’s market share dominance may continue as Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)remains TSMC’s major customer and will give the Taiwanese firm more business for chips made with its most advanced technology.</p>\n<p><b>Short-term demand remains robust in the logic semi space.</b>Thanks to WFH-induced global chip shortage<b>,</b>full utilization nearly across all process nodes (especially tight at 7nm, 40nm and 8\") with continued 28nm utilization improvement. The better-than-expected crypto miner ASIC demand helping to fill the gap of 5nm capacity slack due to iPhone order cuts and Apple seasonality.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC should see more corroboration</b>&nbsp;of growth momentum in HPC, potential Intel CPU orders at 3nm, faster growth in&nbsp;AMD&nbsp;CPU, and Nvidia’s(NASDAQ:NVDA)AI accelerators. Intel outsourcing, if executed, is estimated to add 1% to TSMC’s revenue (Mizuho).</p>\n<p><b>The $28 billion capex spending</b>&nbsp;reflects management's confidence about advanced node chips' long-term demand strength and possible 15% compound annual revenue growth in the next 2-3 years.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC’s Low Ground</b></p>\n<p>The low-ground case would include several negative factors on the horizon that the high-ground case does not consider:</p>\n<p><b>Decreasing utilization rate results from fading WFH demand.</b>TSMC has operated at full capacity for a while; however, weaker-than-expected demand and macro conditions may lead to downside risk for utilization rate forecasts.It is estimated&nbsp;that every 1% decline in the utilization rate could result in 4%-5% downside to the 2021-2022 EPS estimates.</p>\n<p><b>Medium-term inventory correction is inevitable.</b>Inventory correction from a fading WFH demand is expected in 2H21. Logic semi inventory restocking has lasted for 6-7 quarters by 1Q21. While near-term demand indicators remain solid in the logic semi space, it is likely that there will be some inventory correction after 2022, as suggested by the analyst forecasts (Figure 2). However, JP Morgan predicts that end demand drivers for TSMC are likely to become more structural rather than cyclical in the future, with revenues from HPC likely to crossover those from smartphones by 2023. Consequently, TSMC could fare better during logic semi down cycle and recover faster from the trough vs other tier-2 Foundries (JP Morgan).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27ebf5f3771333335e3ec84dda7798fc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"336\"></p>\n<p><b>Average selling price (ASP) may go down.</b>TSMC has benefited from a 6% increase in ASP in 2021/22. However, the advantage has been reduced due to pricing competition from Samsung.Mizuho&nbsp;estimated that every 1% fall in ASP could result in 2%-3% downside for our EPS estimates for 2021-22.</p>\n<p><b>Weakening USD (Strengthening TWD) cuts into EPS.</b>Approximately 99% of TSMC’s sales are denominated in US dollars, but only 15% of its Cost of Goods Sold is in US dollars. Thus, TWD appreciation impacts the company’s gross margin. Based on&nbsp;Mizuho’s estimate,every 1% TWD appreciation could lead to 1%-2% downside to EPS estimates for 2021-22.</p>\n<p><b>$28 billion Capex may dilute dividend payment</b>. Taiwan Semiconductor's 1Q guidance of 23% year-over-year revenue growth indicates stronger sales of computing processors and automotive chips may offset the seasonality of smartphone chips. The $28 billion full-year capital budget&nbsp;may cut into&nbsp;the company's free cash flow and lead to greater volatility in the dividend.</p>\n<p><b>From Future Financials to Future Stock Prices</b></p>\n<p>After the high-ground and low-ground scenarios are developed, I will explain how to convert forecast financials into future stock prices: If a stock is priced based on its forecast financials at each point in time, I should first find those financial metrics which have traditionally affected the stock prices. A historical relationship between the historical stock prices and these financial metrics is first identified (multiple regression method). Then, the current forecast of these financial metrics at different future time point can be used to generate the future stock price targets. Historically, TSMC's stock prices are known to react to consensus forecasts of revenue, EPS, gross margin, capital expenditure, and free cash flow or dividend, e.g., the relationships in Figures 1A-1B.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d8598e14f696255c7faa92760ef906f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"329\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed9aa585df33e69929a8a843f28e00f3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"325\"></p>\n<p>Keep in mind that although I used historical data to estimate a historical relationship, it is still a forward-looking process. This is because, at any point in time in history, TSMC's price is estimated by the forward estimates of the five financial metrics at that time. The only assumption I made is that investors used the same (forward-looking) valuation structure to price stocks consistently. Using the relationship and the analysts' next 10-quarter estimates of the five metrics, I was able to compute the future stock prices corresponding to those forward financials.</p>\n<p><b>High-Ground vs. Low-Ground Share Prices</b></p>\n<p>For high-ground scenario, I used the normal relationship which assumes TSMC stock price is determined by forecast quarterly revenue, EPS, capital expenditure, and dividend estimates. For low-ground scenario, I included additional negative factors of expected 10-year Treasury yield up moves (from futures contracts), the future USD depreciation (from futures contracts), the forecast higher inventory, and forecast distant revenue growth rates (for lower utilization rates).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad3a771ad144f1a71a405203b9b19b58\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"345\"></p>\n<p>In Figure 2, I showed the high-ground prices in red, the low-ground prices in green and the actual TSMC price in black. Of course, after Q1 2021, only predicted prices are available. If you can go along with my approach, Figure 3 becomes quite telling. First of all, up till today, both predicted prices seem to map the actual stock price quite closely, the tight relationship implicitly validate the power of the models. It is also expected both scenarios behaved very similarly because all the additional (negative) factors included in the low-ground case are more relevant in the next few quarters. This is why the high-ground price explains the realty better until today, as both actual and high-ground prices are around $118 at Q1 2021, while low-ground price is at $81.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46ff924f4d6ece1e451e1ca16ddc2070\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\"></p>\n<p>It is more important to see how the future share price plays out under each scenario. Table 1 indicates that the high-ground prices consistently trade at a $40 premium over the low-ground price and eventually to over $80 premium by Q4 2022. Of course, you can assign your own estimates on the chance that each scenario will happen. Due to the short-term nature of all the negative factors, my own guess is biased to the high-ground, fundamental picture of TSMC. Using a 30% low-ground/70% high-ground guess, the resulting TSMC future share price may be relatively flat in 2021 but will take off to $170 by the end of 2022 (Table 1).</p>\n<p><b>Takeaways</b></p>\n<p>Being the largest player in a critically important space, TSMC is at the choke point that gives the company an advantage to benefit from the rigidity of capacity expansion to meet demand surge (high ground). It appears that TSMC share price has already priced in this advantage. But like all other tech stocks, TSM has not priced in the rising yields, fading WFH demand, high valuation, and future competitors’ challenges (low ground).</p>\n<p>If considering both the high ground and low ground cases, TSM is reasonably valued at the current $110’s level. But share price is expected to have moderate upside for 2021. The real excitement will be in 2022 when the negative low-ground factors are out of the system. TSM may reach $170 by 2022.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Taiwan Semiconductor: High Ground Versus Low Ground</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;

At the very least, Taiwanese call TSMC their “Protecting Taiwan God Mountain.” Considering it is practically the “choke point” of the $470 billion global semiconductor industry, TSMC is also “potentially the most single point of failure in the semiconductor value chain,”said Jan-Peter Kleinhans, Director of the technology and geopolitics project at Berlin-based think tank,Stiftung Neue Verantwortung.\nTSMC processes the most advanced foundry technology and the largest market share (54%) in a capacity-constrained industry. Obviously, both the company and the stock have benefited significantly from the limitation of capacity expansion to meet the surging demand. In 2020, TSMC’s revenue has grown 25%, while the stock went up over 90%. It appears that their stock has looked beyond the recent financial performance.\nFor that purpose, in this post, I described TSMC's future with a best-case and a worst-case scenario, respectively. TSMC's high-ground is that the structural growth drivers should remain intact if the company can retain the technological advances to create a wider chip platform to support the long-term growth of AI and HPC. Short-term demand should stay strong due to the global chip shortage and possible Intel outsourcing. However, TSMC should also expect the low-ground cases that are mainly from the decreasing utilization rate, weakening USD, higher capital expenditure diluting future dividend payments, the market-wide rising yield effect, and valuation correction. I also mapped out the path of TSMC future share price movements under each scenario. Given a higher likelihood for the high-ground case, TSMC may have a 20% upside in the next 12 months and a 70% upside in the next 24 months.\nTSMC’s High Ground\nThe best-case scenario assumes that TSMC will retain most of the following favorable factors which have contributed to TSMC’s 2020 gain:\nMost advanced high-end technology supports TSMC’s long-term structural growth.Compared amongst peers, TSMC is easily the leader in the arcane Extreme Ultra Violet (ELV) process, where it has half the world’s installed base and 60% of its production.By 2020, TSMC has delivered over 1 billion 7 nm chips, while Intel(NASDAQ:INTC)is still struggling to master its 7nm process. TSMC’s 5nm chips has lower defect rates than it did at this point in its 7nm development. It is already ramping up for 3 nm production by the end of 2022 and has begun working on the 2 nm process(see figure below). The lead in technology is the basis for the structural growth drivers which should remain intact in the next few years, with TSMC being the key enabler of this AI/HPC revolution.\n\nThe market share hits 54% and expects to rise.After reporting record revenue in 2020 based on demand for 5G smartphones, notebooks for teleworking and high-performance computers, TSMC reached a commanding 54% market share with the next competitor, Samsung Electronics(OTC:SSNLF)at a distant 18%. It is expected that TSMC’s market share dominance may continue as Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)remains TSMC’s major customer and will give the Taiwanese firm more business for chips made with its most advanced technology.\nShort-term demand remains robust in the logic semi space.Thanks to WFH-induced global chip shortage,full utilization nearly across all process nodes (especially tight at 7nm, 40nm and 8\") with continued 28nm utilization improvement. The better-than-expected crypto miner ASIC demand helping to fill the gap of 5nm capacity slack due to iPhone order cuts and Apple seasonality.\nTSMC should see more corroboration of growth momentum in HPC, potential Intel CPU orders at 3nm, faster growth in AMD CPU, and Nvidia’s(NASDAQ:NVDA)AI accelerators. Intel outsourcing, if executed, is estimated to add 1% to TSMC’s revenue (Mizuho).\nThe $28 billion capex spending reflects management's confidence about advanced node chips' long-term demand strength and possible 15% compound annual revenue growth in the next 2-3 years.\nTSMC’s Low Ground\nThe low-ground case would include several negative factors on the horizon that the high-ground case does not consider:\nDecreasing utilization rate results from fading WFH demand.TSMC has operated at full capacity for a while; however, weaker-than-expected demand and macro conditions may lead to downside risk for utilization rate forecasts.It is estimated that every 1% decline in the utilization rate could result in 4%-5% downside to the 2021-2022 EPS estimates.\nMedium-term inventory correction is inevitable.Inventory correction from a fading WFH demand is expected in 2H21. Logic semi inventory restocking has lasted for 6-7 quarters by 1Q21. While near-term demand indicators remain solid in the logic semi space, it is likely that there will be some inventory correction after 2022, as suggested by the analyst forecasts (Figure 2). However, JP Morgan predicts that end demand drivers for TSMC are likely to become more structural rather than cyclical in the future, with revenues from HPC likely to crossover those from smartphones by 2023. Consequently, TSMC could fare better during logic semi down cycle and recover faster from the trough vs other tier-2 Foundries (JP Morgan).\n\nAverage selling price (ASP) may go down.TSMC has benefited from a 6% increase in ASP in 2021/22. However, the advantage has been reduced due to pricing competition from Samsung.Mizuho estimated that every 1% fall in ASP could result in 2%-3% downside for our EPS estimates for 2021-22.\nWeakening USD (Strengthening TWD) cuts into EPS.Approximately 99% of TSMC’s sales are denominated in US dollars, but only 15% of its Cost of Goods Sold is in US dollars. Thus, TWD appreciation impacts the company’s gross margin. Based on Mizuho’s estimate,every 1% TWD appreciation could lead to 1%-2% downside to EPS estimates for 2021-22.\n$28 billion Capex may dilute dividend payment. Taiwan Semiconductor's 1Q guidance of 23% year-over-year revenue growth indicates stronger sales of computing processors and automotive chips may offset the seasonality of smartphone chips. The $28 billion full-year capital budget may cut into the company's free cash flow and lead to greater volatility in the dividend.\nFrom Future Financials to Future Stock Prices\nAfter the high-ground and low-ground scenarios are developed, I will explain how to convert forecast financials into future stock prices: If a stock is priced based on its forecast financials at each point in time, I should first find those financial metrics which have traditionally affected the stock prices. A historical relationship between the historical stock prices and these financial metrics is first identified (multiple regression method). Then, the current forecast of these financial metrics at different future time point can be used to generate the future stock price targets. Historically, TSMC's stock prices are known to react to consensus forecasts of revenue, EPS, gross margin, capital expenditure, and free cash flow or dividend, e.g., the relationships in Figures 1A-1B.\n\nKeep in mind that although I used historical data to estimate a historical relationship, it is still a forward-looking process. This is because, at any point in time in history, TSMC's price is estimated by the forward estimates of the five financial metrics at that time. The only assumption I made is that investors used the same (forward-looking) valuation structure to price stocks consistently. Using the relationship and the analysts' next 10-quarter estimates of the five metrics, I was able to compute the future stock prices corresponding to those forward financials.\nHigh-Ground vs. Low-Ground Share Prices\nFor high-ground scenario, I used the normal relationship which assumes TSMC stock price is determined by forecast quarterly revenue, EPS, capital expenditure, and dividend estimates. For low-ground scenario, I included additional negative factors of expected 10-year Treasury yield up moves (from futures contracts), the future USD depreciation (from futures contracts), the forecast higher inventory, and forecast distant revenue growth rates (for lower utilization rates).\n\nIn Figure 2, I showed the high-ground prices in red, the low-ground prices in green and the actual TSMC price in black. Of course, after Q1 2021, only predicted prices are available. If you can go along with my approach, Figure 3 becomes quite telling. First of all, up till today, both predicted prices seem to map the actual stock price quite closely, the tight relationship implicitly validate the power of the models. It is also expected both scenarios behaved very similarly because all the additional (negative) factors included in the low-ground case are more relevant in the next few quarters. This is why the high-ground price explains the realty better until today, as both actual and high-ground prices are around $118 at Q1 2021, while low-ground price is at $81.\n\nIt is more important to see how the future share price plays out under each scenario. Table 1 indicates that the high-ground prices consistently trade at a $40 premium over the low-ground price and eventually to over $80 premium by Q4 2022. Of course, you can assign your own estimates on the chance that each scenario will happen. Due to the short-term nature of all the negative factors, my own guess is biased to the high-ground, fundamental picture of TSMC. Using a 30% low-ground/70% high-ground guess, the resulting TSMC future share price may be relatively flat in 2021 but will take off to $170 by the end of 2022 (Table 1).\nTakeaways\nBeing the largest player in a critically important space, TSMC is at the choke point that gives the company an advantage to benefit from the rigidity of capacity expansion to meet demand surge (high ground). It appears that TSMC share price has already priced in this advantage. But like all other tech stocks, TSM has not priced in the rising yields, fading WFH demand, high valuation, and future competitors’ challenges (low ground).\nIf considering both the high ground and low ground cases, TSM is reasonably valued at the current $110’s level. But share price is expected to have moderate upside for 2021. The real excitement will be in 2022 when the negative low-ground factors are out of the system. TSM may reach $170 by 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350562468,"gmtCreate":1616233276554,"gmtModify":1704792374453,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350562468","repostId":"1160094040","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160094040","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616163288,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160094040?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 22:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FedEx Surges After Strong Quarter Feeds a Bullish Outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160094040","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- FedEx Corp. jumped the most in six months after higher prices and elevated e-commerce","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- FedEx Corp. jumped the most in six months after higher prices and elevated e-commerce boosted earnings, sparking expectations for accelerated growth as the economy recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>Surging package volumes and pricing gains offset increased labor costs and weather-related expenses in the quarter through February, the courier reported.

The company said it had roughly 33 million daily users last year, of whom more than half are under the age of 13. Players in Roblox appear in the form of customizable avatars.Roblox’s Covid boomRoblox has been a huge beneficiary of the Covid-19 shutdowns, which forced kids out of the classroom and away from their friends. With no school to attend and birthday parties canceled,kids turned to Roblox, where they can socialize virtually, navigating theme parks, attending concerts and playing action games while also staying in touch using its popular text chat feature.Daily active users jumped 85% in 2020 to 32.6 million. The number of hours that players spent on the app more than doubled to 30.6 billion.That unexpected and unprecedented growth has created some challenges around its developer community. The company has had to contend with an influx ofspammers and scammers who are out to take advantage of some of the millions of kids who are ready and willing to spend their parents money on Robux.In-game pop-ups lure users with the promise of free Robux if they fill out a survey, only to reroute them to other sites where there’s no Robux and even more spam. In some cases, Roblox developers unknowingly install a malicious plug-in from the game development studio, infecting their own game.“Because of the popularity of our platform, we believe that we are an attractive target for these sorts of attacks,” Roblox said in its prospectus. The company said it’s investing to make sure outside parties can’t access user data and to prevent phishing, spamming and malware as much as possible.Roblox’s second-biggest expense, behind developer fees, is infrastructure, privacy and safety. Those costs jumped 69% last year to $264.2 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":10,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361803623,"gmtCreate":1614217489862,"gmtModify":1704889684068,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like","listText":"Comment and like","text":"Comment and like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/361803623","repostId":"1129467108","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129467108","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614164417,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129467108?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-24 19:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why J.P.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.</p>\n<p>The shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&amp;P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.</p>\n<p>Winter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.</p>\n<p>Adjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.</p>\n<p>The results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones &amp; Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.</p>\n<p>“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.</p>\n<p>Street Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap</p>\n<p>Several analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.</p>\n<p>FedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.</p>\n<p>Fueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>FedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.</p>\n<p>What Bloomberg Intelligence says:</p>\n<p>“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”</p>\n<p>-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.</p>\n<p>The changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.</p>\n<p>The company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.\n“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.\nThe shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.\nWinter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.\nAdjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.\nThe results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones & Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.\n“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.\nStreet Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap\nSeveral analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.\nFedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.\nFueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.\nFedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.\nWhat Bloomberg Intelligence says:\n“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”\n-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.\nThe changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.\nThe company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand. Commercial airlines, which also carry cargo, won’t recover fully until as late as the end of 2024 and e-commerce will remain a growth engine, it predicted.\nStill, Carere warned of a “potential for a short-term deceleration” for online shopping after the pandemic subsides.\nHigh volumes have allowed FedEx and rival United Parcel Service Inc. to increase prices even as they limit capital spending. FedEx lifted its forecast for capital expenditures by $600 million to $5.7 billion for the year ending in May to boost capacity at its ground unit and to move up some aircraft payments. That’s still lower than the $5.9 billion it spent last year.\nOperating margins of 4.9% fell short of analyst expectations for 5.9%, but showed marked improvement over the paltry 2.8% FedEx reported a year ago as Covid-19 triggered business shutdowns.\n(Updates stock action in fourth paragraph)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350562303,"gmtCreate":1616233195802,"gmtModify":1704792373321,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","listText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","text":"Comment and reply","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350562303","repostId":"2120148494","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2120148494","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1616226213,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2120148494?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-20 15:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple CEO Cook, execs on tentative list of witnesses in Epic Games case","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2120148494","media":"Reuters","summary":"March 20 (Reuters) - Apple Inc's    CEO Tim Cook, software chief Craig Federighi and other executive","content":"<html><body><p>March 20 (Reuters) - Apple Inc's    CEO Tim Cook, software chief Craig Federighi and other executives were named on a tentative list of witnesses in the software giant's case against Epic Games, a court filing dated March 19 showed.</p><p>   App Store Vice President Matt Fischer and Apple Fellow Phil Schiller were also named on the list submitted to the U.S. District Court Northern District of California Oakland Division, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.</p><p>   The iPhone maker has been at loggerheads with Epic Games, the creator of the popular game Fortnite, which last year tried to avoid a 30% fee which Apple charges developers on the App Store by launching its own in-app payment system.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day.

The country’s capital city Beijing recently handed out $1.5 million as part of a digital currency test during the Lunar New Year, following similar experiments in Shenzhen and Suzhou.\nChorzempa said one of the main reasons spurring the push for the digital yuan was the desire for a state backed and controlled alternative to incumbent giants such as the Alibaba-affiliated Alipay app and Tencent’sWechat Pay, which currently process about 95% of digital payments in China.\nUnlike most other major economies globally, mobile payments — largely through the Alipay app and Wechat Pay — has displaced cash in the last few years as the predominant form of consumer payment in China.\n″(The digital yuan) is something that’s really unprecedented among the major economies,” Chorzempa said. “China is ... by far the most advanced of any in digital currency and it’s exciting to watch.”\n‘Nothing like bitcoin or ethereum’\nTo be sure, Chorzempa said China’s digital yuan has very little in common with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, known for its high price volatility.\n“I would say the safety levels (of the digital yuan are) very high and the risk is low,” he said. “It’s designed to have the same value as any regular renminbi, so there should be no price fluctuations to worry about.”\nIntermediaries that sell the digital currency in China are also expected to be “quite safe and carefully regulated” so long as they are sanctioned by the government, Chorzempa said.\n“I wouldn’t be too worried about the safety of a digital renminbi in a central bank regulated wallet,” he added.\nBeyond China, Sweden is expected to be among the first advanced economies to launch a digital currency, according to the PIIE researcher.\nSince Facebook first proposed launching the Libra cryptocurrency, now rebranded Diem, there has been a “huge wave of interest” among central banks that are concerned that a private tech company “might take over their currency” in a similar manner to how Alipay and WeChat pay dominate payments in China, he said.\n“I expect central bank digital currencies to continue to expand around the world,” Chorzempa said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":386006432,"gmtCreate":1613104799426,"gmtModify":1704878461597,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Respond pls","listText":"Respond pls","text":"Respond pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/386006432","repostId":"1179092967","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179092967","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613100617,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179092967?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-12 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Not Just Tesla: Why Big Companies are Buying into Crypto-Mania","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179092967","media":"barrons","summary":"For months, there has beena consistent trickle of newsabout mainstream businesses getting involved in cryptocurrencies.

And for Baidu, it marks a further effort to diversify its business well beyond advertising.\nBaidu’s Nasdaq-traded shares jumped more than 3.5% after hours. They climbed 6.67% on Tuesday.\nBaidu’s chip company would be a subsidiary, with the search giant likely to be the majority shareholder, the person said. Venture capital firms GGV and IDG Capital are involved in early stage discussions to invest in Baidu’s chip firm, the source added. Both firms have extensive investments in China.\nBaidu declined to comment when contacted by CNBC. IDG Capital was not immediately available for comment.Calls to GGV’s offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing went unanswered.\nCurrently, Baidu has an in-house chip unit that has helped to develop its Kunlun semiconductors, designed to process huge amounts of data for artificial intelligence applications. But a standalone chip company is seen helping Baidu to better commercialize its technology, the source said.\nThe semiconductor business would aim to sell chips to customers in several industries including automakers, which are currently facing a global chip shortage.\nA standalone chip maker could also tie into other parts of Baidu’s businesses, such as its driverless car software.\nDiversification flurry\nBaidu’s move is part of push by the company to diversify its broader business — an effort which since September alone has seen the Chinese technology giant raise money for a biotech firm and a standalone electric vehicle company.\nAdvertising accounts for most of Baidu’s revenue currently, but other operations are contributing a growing percentage of sales. Ad-related revenue, which the company refers to in its earnings statements as online marketing services, accounted for around 80% of total revenue in 2018. That proportion fell to 71% in the third quarter of 2020, the most recent published results.\nBaidu’s semiconductor focus comes as the Chinese government tries to boost domestic independence around that critical technology — a trend that has accelerated during China’s trade war with the United States.\nChinese internet giant Tencent, the owner of messaging app WeChat,recently invested in an AI chip start-up.\nIn 2019, e-commerce company Alibaba launched its first chip to power artificial intelligence processes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":24,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381619345,"gmtCreate":1612961284987,"gmtModify":1704876554754,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/381619345","repostId":"1144142338","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144142338","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612954004,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144142338?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-10 18:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Investors set for commodities ‘bull run’ as prices rise in tandem","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144142338","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Broad-based recent gains have not been seen in decades and spur talk of ‘supercycle’\nThe broad upswi","content":"<p>Broad-based recent gains have not been seen in decades and spur talk of ‘supercycle’</p>\n<p>The broad upswing in commodity prices since the depths of the coronavirus crisis represents just the first leg of a sector-wide “bull market” fanned by government spending, analysts and investors say.</p>\n<p>Wall Street banks are telling their clients to increase their exposure to raw materials, which are poised to benefit from a vaccine-driven global economic recovery, aided by fiscal stimulus. Some are even predicting a prolonger period of commodity-intensive growth that marks a repeat of the so-called “supercycle” of the 2000s — where oil and metal prices hit record highs as China’s rapid industrialisation caught the industry napping.</p>\n<p>“It’s easy — and largely accurate — to present the 2021 commodity outlook as a V-shaped vaccine trade,” said Goldman Sachs in a recent report. “What we think is key, however, is that this recovery in commodity prices will actually be the beginning of a much longer structural bull market for commodities.”</p>\n<p>Commodities, which have been out favour with investors for the best part of a decade, have enjoyed a strong run in recent months helped by demand from China, the world’s biggest buyer of natural resources. Soyabean prices are up more than 50 per cent over the past year, while copper has risen around 40 per cent. Oil, meanwhile, has rebounded to its highest since the early days of the coronavirus crisis. Brent, the international standard, hit $60 on Monday.</p>\n<p>The rally has been exceptionally wide-ranging. A basket of 27 commodity futures — from coffee to nickel — tracked by specialist asset manager SummerHaven showed that all had positive returns over the six months to mid-January, including any gains from rolling over futures contracts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27002730a162c7e367ac38b6ffc4ae1\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"1000\"></p>\n<p>“This is really unusual. We’ve looked back 50 years and we’ve never seen this basket of commodities all go up at once,” said managing partner Kurt Nelson.</p>\n<p>Still, some investors say the market is not ready to embark on a new supercycle just yet. “What we certainly do have at the moment is a cyclical recovery driven by restocking in Europe, the US and China and boosted by supply disruptions,” said George Cheveley, portfolio manager at asset management company Ninety One. He said a broader shift is “two to three years away”.</p>\n<p>SummerHaven’s Nelson says a key catalyst for the rally has been a concern that the unprecedented monetary and fiscal policies enacted during the crisis will feed inflation, encouraging fund managers to protect themselves by buying commonly used hedges such as oil and metals.</p>\n<p>Given that most commodities are priced in dollars, last year’s slide in the value of the greenback is also making them cheaper in other currencies, adding to demand.</p>\n<p>Eliot&nbsp;Geller, a partner at CoreCommodity Management, thinks this macroeconomic backdrop for commodities is stronger than at any time in the previous decade.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;“Since 2010, we have seen equity markets rally, a strong US dollar, interest rates trend lower and inflation expectations decline,” he said. “Today, we have the threat of rising inflation, a weaker dollar and interest rates that are already zero or negative.”</p>\n<p>Those predicting a new supercycle — often described as prolonged period of surging demand that outstrips supply — point to global recovery programmes that put greater emphasis on job creation and environmental sustainability than on inflation control.</p>\n<p>“The past decade has seen monetary policy, which was more supportive for financial assets, while current fiscal policy should be more supportive for real assets like commodities,” said Don Casturo, the founder of specialist asset manager Quantix Commodities.</p>\n<p>Commodity bulls also see a supply gap coming. Goldman reckons the energy transition has the potential to create $1tn-$2tn a year in infrastructure investment over the next decade as the world reduces its reliance on carbon. That should drive up demand for a variety of raw materials, including copper, which will be need to wire the solar panels and electric cars of the new economy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/020a07ab14b3198018a17698d2bce3eb\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"1000\"></p>\n<p>Years of low prices, meanwhile, have forced producers to curb spending on new projects and expansions, holding back supply. This is not only true of the oil industry, where investment had been slashed, but also mining.</p>\n<p>“There needs to be a price blowout to bring on the new supply,” said James Johnstone, co-head of emerging and frontier markets at&nbsp;RWC Partners, a London-based investment manager that has invested in a number of copper producers.</p>\n<p>Some doubt that this upswing in commodity prices can match the last.</p>\n<p>“Historically a supercycle happens every 30 to 40 years and we are just out of one.

Some are even predicting a prolonger period of commodity-intensive growth that marks a repeat of the so-called “supercycle” of the 2000s — where oil and metal prices hit record highs as China’s rapid industrialisation caught the industry napping.\n“It’s easy — and largely accurate — to present the 2021 commodity outlook as a V-shaped vaccine trade,” said Goldman Sachs in a recent report. “What we think is key, however, is that this recovery in commodity prices will actually be the beginning of a much longer structural bull market for commodities.”\nCommodities, which have been out favour with investors for the best part of a decade, have enjoyed a strong run in recent months helped by demand from China, the world’s biggest buyer of natural resources. Soyabean prices are up more than 50 per cent over the past year, while copper has risen around 40 per cent. Oil, meanwhile, has rebounded to its highest since the early days of the coronavirus crisis. Brent, the international standard, hit $60 on Monday.\nThe rally has been exceptionally wide-ranging. A basket of 27 commodity futures — from coffee to nickel — tracked by specialist asset manager SummerHaven showed that all had positive returns over the six months to mid-January, including any gains from rolling over futures contracts.\n\n“This is really unusual. We’ve looked back 50 years and we’ve never seen this basket of commodities all go up at once,” said managing partner Kurt Nelson.\nStill, some investors say the market is not ready to embark on a new supercycle just yet. “What we certainly do have at the moment is a cyclical recovery driven by restocking in Europe, the US and China and boosted by supply disruptions,” said George Cheveley, portfolio manager at asset management company Ninety One. He said a broader shift is “two to three years away”.\nSummerHaven’s Nelson says a key catalyst for the rally has been a concern that the unprecedented monetary and fiscal policies enacted during the crisis will feed inflation, encouraging fund managers to protect themselves by buying commonly used hedges such as oil and metals.\nGiven that most commodities are priced in dollars, last year’s slide in the value of the greenback is also making them cheaper in other currencies, adding to demand.\nEliot Geller, a partner at CoreCommodity Management, thinks this macroeconomic backdrop for commodities is stronger than at any time in the previous decade.\n “Since 2010, we have seen equity markets rally, a strong US dollar, interest rates trend lower and inflation expectations decline,” he said. “Today, we have the threat of rising inflation, a weaker dollar and interest rates that are already zero or negative.”\nThose predicting a new supercycle — often described as prolonged period of surging demand that outstrips supply — point to global recovery programmes that put greater emphasis on job creation and environmental sustainability than on inflation control.\n“The past decade has seen monetary policy, which was more supportive for financial assets, while current fiscal policy should be more supportive for real assets like commodities,” said Don Casturo, the founder of specialist asset manager Quantix Commodities.\nCommodity bulls also see a supply gap coming. Goldman reckons the energy transition has the potential to create $1tn-$2tn a year in infrastructure investment over the next decade as the world reduces its reliance on carbon. That should drive up demand for a variety of raw materials, including copper, which will be need to wire the solar panels and electric cars of the new economy.\n\nYears of low prices, meanwhile, have forced producers to curb spending on new projects and expansions, holding back supply. This is not only true of the oil industry, where investment had been slashed, but also mining.\n“There needs to be a price blowout to bring on the new supply,” said James Johnstone, co-head of emerging and frontier markets at RWC Partners, a London-based investment manager that has invested in a number of copper producers.\nSome doubt that this upswing in commodity prices can match the last.\n“Historically a supercycle happens every 30 to 40 years and we are just out of one. So this would be an exception,” said Norbert Rücker, head of economics at Swiss private bank Julius Baer. “And if you look at what triggered the last supercycle it was Chinese urbanisation and the immense spend of it. The energy transition won’t happen as quickly.”\nBut others think the stage is set for a broad-based rally can well outlast the pandemic. “The set-up for commodities is really extraordinary. Not just for the next three to six months but for the next decade,” said SummerHaven’s Nelson.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":130,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
