the largest American cryptocurrency exchange platform, has announced the launch of Polkadot (DOT) on Coinbase Pro (COIN).\nWhile the platform will officially enable trading on or after June 16th, 9:00 AM Pacific Time (PT), Coinbase Pro wallets began accepting DOT transfers from users on June 14th. As per the blog release, Coinbase Pro clients will gain access to multiple trading pairs, including DOT/BTC, DOT/USD, DOT/GBP, DOT/USDT, and DOT/EUR once the required liquidity is achieved. (See Coinbase Stock Chart on TipRanks)\nThese trading pairs will launch in three phases with Coinbase Pro continually assessing market trends: post-only, limit-only, and full trading. Coinbase officials added, “If at any point one of the new order books does not meet our assessment for a healthy and orderly market, we may keep the book in one state for a longer period of time or suspend trading as per our Trading Rules. We will publish tweets from our Coinbase Pro Twitter account as each order book moves through the phases.”\nThe DOT token isn’t currently available on Coinbase’s mobile app or its website, although the exchange has reassured users that any plan to add DOT will be announced, if and when the feature is enabled outside Coinbase Pro. The platform has also clarified that DOT will be available for clients in all countries where the exchange is licensed to operate, except for Singapore.\nCoinbase Pro currently supports 50 cryptocurrencies, including 1inch (1INCH), Ankr (ANKR), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Cardano (ADA), Cartesi (CTSI), Curve DAO Token (CRV), Dogecoin (DOGE), Enjin Coin (ENJ), iExec (RLC), Internet Computer (ICP), Mirror Protocol (MIR), NKN (NKN), Origin Token (OGN), Polygon (MATIC), SKALE (SKL), Storj (STORJ), SushiSwap (SUSHI), Tellor (TRB), Tether (USDT), and more.\nPolkadot, an open-source project associated with the Web3 Foundation, enables cross-blockchain transfers of any type of data or asset. The ecosystem is designed to give consumers the ability to interoperate with other blockchains in the Polkadot network.\nThe DOT token powers the Polkadot network, serving the purposes of governance, staking, and bonding. Additionally, the holders of DOT tokens perform several key functions within the Polkadot ecosystem, including acting as validators, collators, nominators, and participating in the decision-making process for Polkadot’s future upgrades and changes.\nThe Polkadot (DOT) listing on Coinbase Pro comes as a huge boost for the fast-rising DOT token. At the time of writing, DOT tokens traded at $24.67, exhibiting a 24-hour volume of $3.13 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":245,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":163197592,"gmtCreate":1623861684016,"gmtModify":1703821894410,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/163197592","repostId":"2143978737","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143978737","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1623857100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143978737?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook's Hardware Business Is Creeping Into Apple's Backyard","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143978737","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"But Apple shouldn't lose any sleep over Facebook's smartwatch plans.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB) could be developing a smartwatch with two cameras, according to The Verge. The camera on the front will likely be used for video calls, while the rear camera can be detached to capture photos and videos for Facebook's family of apps.</p>\n<p>Facebook is also reportedly in talks with companies to develop accessories for attaching the camera to backpacks and other objects. Previous rumors regarding the watch suggested it will sport health-tracking features, run on a stand-alone cellular connection, and use a custom version of the Android operating system. Could this long-rumored device help Facebook challenge <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the smartwatch market?</p>\n<h2>Why is Facebook developing a smartwatch?</h2>\n<p>Facebook generated 97% of its revenue from ads last quarter. The remaining 3% came from its \"other\" businesses, which include its Oculus virtual reality (VR) headsets and Portal smart screens. It might initially seem odd for Facebook to add a smartwatch to that lineup, but it would actually complement its previous hardware strategies.</p>\n<p>Facebook's strongest hardware business is its lineup of Oculus VR headsets. It could ship at least three million Oculus Quest 2 headsets this year, according to SuperData. That would make the stand-alone VR headset, which doesn't require a PC or phone, the clear leader of its niche market.</p>\n<p>Looking beyond VR devices, Facebook is developing augmented reality (AR) glasses that will use similar controls as its Oculus headsets. It also acquired CTRL-Labs, which is developing a wristband that can use brain signals to control computers, in late 2019. In theory, CTRL-Labs' technology could eventually enable users to control VR and AR devices with \"mind-reading\" wristbands instead of controllers in the future.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Facebook's Portal devices haven't gained much momentum against <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) or <b>Alphabet</b>'s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google in the smart screen market. That failure likely dashed Facebook's hopes of expanding its social networking platforms beyond PCs and phones and into connected homes.</p>\n<p>When you put all those pieces together, you'll realize Facebook's smartwatch could be used to enhance control of its VR and AR devices, or to expand its social networks into the Internet of Things (IoT) and perhaps succeed where the Portal failed. Facebook could also eventually upgrade its watches with CTRL-Labs' technologies and enable users to control other IoT devices with their minds.</p>\n<h2>But let's not get ahead of ourselves... yet</h2>\n<p>Facebook has reportedly spent about $1 billion on the development of its smartwatch over the past few years, but it only initially plans to ship volumes in the low six figures.</p>\n<p>That would make Facebook a tiny smartwatch maker compared to <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL), which grew its Apple Watch shipments 19% to 33.9 million in 2020, according to Counterpoint Research. Apple ended the year with a whopping 40% share of the global smartwatch market.</p>\n<p>Facebook likely realizes its smartwatch will face the same three problems that plagued the Portal: a deep distrust of Facebook's brand, privacy concerns, and its late arrival into a saturated market. Google also encountered similar criticisms after its recent takeover of Fitbit.</p>\n<p>Facebook reportedly plans to launch its smartwatch next summer for about $400. But a lot could happen within the next year, and new smartwatches -- including a new version of the Apple Watch -- could easily steal Facebook's thunder. A smartwatch with two cameras could also be considered complicated and redundant, especially when smartphones and action cameras serve the same purposes.</p>\n<h2>The key takeaways</h2>\n<p>The global smartwatch market could still grow from $59 billion this year to nearly $100 billion in 2025, according to Research and Markets.

The camera on the front will likely be used for video calls, while the rear camera can be detached to capture photos and videos for Facebook's family of apps.\nFacebook is also reportedly in talks with companies to develop accessories for attaching the camera to backpacks and other objects. Previous rumors regarding the watch suggested it will sport health-tracking features, run on a stand-alone cellular connection, and use a custom version of the Android operating system. Could this long-rumored device help Facebook challenge Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the smartwatch market?\nWhy is Facebook developing a smartwatch?\nFacebook generated 97% of its revenue from ads last quarter. The remaining 3% came from its \"other\" businesses, which include its Oculus virtual reality (VR) headsets and Portal smart screens. It might initially seem odd for Facebook to add a smartwatch to that lineup, but it would actually complement its previous hardware strategies.\nFacebook's strongest hardware business is its lineup of Oculus VR headsets. It could ship at least three million Oculus Quest 2 headsets this year, according to SuperData. That would make the stand-alone VR headset, which doesn't require a PC or phone, the clear leader of its niche market.\nLooking beyond VR devices, Facebook is developing augmented reality (AR) glasses that will use similar controls as its Oculus headsets. It also acquired CTRL-Labs, which is developing a wristband that can use brain signals to control computers, in late 2019. In theory, CTRL-Labs' technology could eventually enable users to control VR and AR devices with \"mind-reading\" wristbands instead of controllers in the future.\nMeanwhile, Facebook's Portal devices haven't gained much momentum against Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) or Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google in the smart screen market. That failure likely dashed Facebook's hopes of expanding its social networking platforms beyond PCs and phones and into connected homes.\nWhen you put all those pieces together, you'll realize Facebook's smartwatch could be used to enhance control of its VR and AR devices, or to expand its social networks into the Internet of Things (IoT) and perhaps succeed where the Portal failed. Facebook could also eventually upgrade its watches with CTRL-Labs' technologies and enable users to control other IoT devices with their minds.\nBut let's not get ahead of ourselves... yet\nFacebook has reportedly spent about $1 billion on the development of its smartwatch over the past few years, but it only initially plans to ship volumes in the low six figures.\nThat would make Facebook a tiny smartwatch maker compared to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which grew its Apple Watch shipments 19% to 33.9 million in 2020, according to Counterpoint Research. Apple ended the year with a whopping 40% share of the global smartwatch market.\nFacebook likely realizes its smartwatch will face the same three problems that plagued the Portal: a deep distrust of Facebook's brand, privacy concerns, and its late arrival into a saturated market. Google also encountered similar criticisms after its recent takeover of Fitbit.\nFacebook reportedly plans to launch its smartwatch next summer for about $400. But a lot could happen within the next year, and new smartwatches -- including a new version of the Apple Watch -- could easily steal Facebook's thunder. A smartwatch with two cameras could also be considered complicated and redundant, especially when smartphones and action cameras serve the same purposes.\nThe key takeaways\nThe global smartwatch market could still grow from $59 billion this year to nearly $100 billion in 2025, according to Research and Markets. That's great news for Apple, but it also suggests the market might still be big enough for newcomers like Facebook to gain a foothold.\nBut investors should take all these rumors with a grain of salt until Facebook actually makes an official announcement. Even if Facebook's smartwatch fares better than the Portal, it probably won't generate a meaningful percentage of its revenue or reduce its overall dependence on ads.\nInstead, it should be considered a potential expansion of its ecosystem beyond PCs and phones, which might just complement its ongoing push into the virtual and augmented reality markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":329,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160163191,"gmtCreate":1623775153613,"gmtModify":1703819181824,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like","listText":"Comment and like","text":"Comment and like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160163191","repostId":"1156005756","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156005756","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623756623,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156005756?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 19:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"One corner of health care could lead Nasdaq’s next record rally, Oppenheimer analyst predicts","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156005756","media":"cnbc","summary":"As theNasdaqhits records, one analyst is betting on a corner of the health-care sector still well of","content":"<div>\n<p>As theNasdaqhits records, one analyst is betting on a corner of the health-care sector still well offs its highs to drive thenext leg of the rally.\n“The Nasdaq Composite broadly is breaking higher, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/15/nasdaq-rally-biotech-could-lead-next-leg-oppenheimer-analyst-says.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

You have biotechnology also lifting its head higher and participating,” Ari Wald, head of technical analysis atOppenheimer, told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Monday.\nTheIBB biotechnology ETF, which holds stocks such asBiogenandAmgen, has risen 6% this month. That’s roughly double the gains on the broader Nasdaq. However, it is still 7% from its February high.\n“Talking about the strength in the Nasdaq Biotech ETF, … it really started with the breakout through five-year resistance last year,” he said.\nHe added that this upturn following a consolidation looks similar to how the ETF traded last summer. Like this year, the IBB consolidated for five months and then broke higher. Wald said both of those bullish trends bode well for more upside.\nNancy Tengler, chief investment officer at Laffer Tengler Investments, prefers to be selective within the biotech space.\n\"We're playing the space with individual holdings. Our two largest areJ&J, which by the way bought Actelion which is one of the largest biotech companies, andAbbVie, which is alternately characterized as pharma and biotech,\" said Tengler.\nJohnson & Johnson and AbbVie have had a mixed month, falling 2% and gaining 2%, respectively.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160163076,"gmtCreate":1623775137395,"gmtModify":1703819180855,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160163076","repostId":"1146320033","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146320033","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":1623764131,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146320033?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 21:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow rises slightly, S&P 500 adds to a record ahead of key Fed meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146320033","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(June 15) U.S. stocks rose slightly on Tuesday ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy","content":"<p>(June 15)&nbsp;U.S. stocks rose slightly on Tuesday ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy meeting.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.1% to reach a new all-time high of 4,57.18.

During the call the CTO of the Oracle went through a very long and impressive list of customers:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>I'm now going to go and present a list of over a 100 companies and government agencies that have already moved from SAP ERP to Fusion ERP, or currently in the process of doing so.Larry Ellison - Chairman and Chief Technology OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3340d3fff60b0093daa79d1a8330bb7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"118\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source:diginomica.com</p>\n<p>According to the founder the coming years are gearing to be exceptionally strong for Oracle's ERP on the back of new customer wins.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>We are - reading the Gartner report,</i>\n <i><b>we are so dominant</b></i>\n <i>.

This is especially true in the current environment of extremely loose monetary policy, which is driving valuations of high duration (high growth) companies to extreme levels.\nSince my first analysis of ORCL back in October of last year, it has not only delivered alpha (using itsbetaof 0.8), but also significantly outperformed the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY).\nData byYCharts\nOracle is one of those businesses that do not pursue growth opportunities just for the sake of it. Instead, a steady, profitable and most importantly sustainable business expansion is given a priority. And although this business strategy could appear inferior at a time when expected short-term sales growth is the primary driver of valuations, quite often the slow and steady wins the race.\n\n* data as of 1st of June 2021\nSource: Prepared by the author, using data from Seeking Alpha\nIn the case of ORCL, however, the world 'slow' might not be appropriate, even though a rather simplistic analysis could easily conclude that Oracle is a low quality business as it has not grown its topline revenue numbers meaningfully over the past decade.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from annual and quarterly reports\nFor the past 8 months, however, I have been arguing quite the opposite and showed that under the surface the Oracle's cloud service offering isexceptionally strong and growing.\nAll aboutEnterprise Resource Planning Software (ERP)\nThe cloud ERP space is where Oracle's business is exceptionally strong and far ahead of its other competitors, such as Workday (WDAY), SAP (SAP) and Microsoft (MSFT).\n\nSource:netsuite.comandifs.com\nAlthough the competition in the space has intensified in recent years, the gap between Oracle's Fusion ERP and other competitor offerings has not changed much since 2017.\n\nSource:oracle.com\nBeing the leader in large enterprise cloud ERP has some very important implications. Firstly, the business is very sticky, with large multinational corporations rarely undergoing the risky process of migrating their ERP systems from one vendor to another. This is one of the main reasons why margins of the leaders in the space have been both high and stable over the long run.\nData byYCharts\nSecondly, being an absolute leader in the space, while also combining the ERP service offerings with high quality database and secure cloud infrastructure places Oracle among the leaders in terms of profitability.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from Seeking Alpha\nHaving a non-traditional management approach, the founder of Oracle - Larry Ellison isfamousfor his martial methods. While this means that occasionally Mr. Ellison rants at his competitors, the last conference call was unusual. During the call the CTO of the Oracle went through a very long and impressive list of customers:\n\nI'm now going to go and present a list of over a 100 companies and government agencies that have already moved from SAP ERP to Fusion ERP, or currently in the process of doing so.Larry Ellison - Chairman and Chief Technology OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\n\nSource:diginomica.com\nAccording to the founder the coming years are gearing to be exceptionally strong for Oracle's ERP on the back of new customer wins.\n\nWe are - reading the Gartner report,\nwe are so dominant\n. Our product is\nso much better\nthan anyone else's product in the cloud.\nWe expect to get a significant number more than half of SAP's customers\nwe'll get.Larry Ellison - Chairman and Chief Technology OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nA month later, staying true to his more conventional approach, the CEO of SAP Christian Klein was far less aggressive in its commentary, highlighting that SAP continues to win in the ERP space.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, we saw more than 250 wins replacing competitive solutions\n, underlining our relentless focus on customer value.(...)\n Still we cannot let recent unfounded claims made by one of our competitors go entirely uncommented. Personally, I see it as a very positive sign that one of our main competitors spent so much time talking about SAP on their own earnings call. Let me tell you, we have been through their customer list. And confidentially we checked this claim. I absolutely encourage you to do your own research, talk to the customers as we did. The latest IDC ERP data also helps to put things into perspective. It shows that SAP has taken significant ERP market share since launching S/4HANA in 2015.Source: SAP Q1 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nWho's right and who's not only time will tell, however so far Gartner seems tofavorOracle's offerings and the cloud SaaS business is seeing some improved momentum.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from annual and quarterly reports\nCloud Infrastructure - supply constrained\nA common misconception is that since Oracle is not among the leaders in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) space and lags behind the behemoths Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, then the business model of Oracle is weak.\n\nSource:aws.amazon.com\nThe reason why this is not true is that the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is predominantly a platform that strengthens Oracle's existing leadership in ERP and database.\n\nNow add to that,\nOCI, which is new for us\n, we've\nnever been a platform company\n. We -- Linux is a platform. In the old on-premise days, Linux was a platform, Windows was the most famous platform. There was HP-UX and IBM Metazone offering. So there were a lot of platforms. We weren't ever in that business.\nWe were portable and ran on lots of different platforms. Now we have our own platform for the first time.\nLawrence Ellison - Co-Founder, Chairman & CTOSource: Oracle Q2 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nThat is why, once again, the emphasis is not put on topline growth numbers, but rather on quality, security and the long-term viability of the strategy.\n\nThe Oracle Cloud Infrastructure architecture was designed for security of the platform through isolated network virtualization, highly secure firmware installation, a controlled physical network, and network segmentation.\n\n\nSource: oracle.com\nThat is also why, the OCI has been experiencing supply constrains for a number of quarters now as more of Oracle's existing and new customers migrate their workloads on the cloud.\n\nAs I mentioned last quarter,\nwe experienced capacity constraints for OCI cloud services as customer workloads expanded dramatically\n. In addition, we continue to land many new customers, including ISVs, and we have some very large users coming online shortly that will require significant amounts of capacity. As a result,\nwe're investing aggressively this quarter, this Q4, both OpEx and CapEx to prepare for this increase in cloud consumption and associated revenue in FY2022\n. As such, we are going to target a 49% operating margin for Q4.Safra Catz - Chief Executive OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nOffering a high quality and secure infrastructure offers a significant competitive advantage for Oracle, as it combines strong application, platform, and infrastructure layers under one umbrella.\nConclusion\nOracle is an undisputed leader in the cloud ERP space, which also has exceptionally strong offerings in the database and infrastructure space. This creates significant competitive advantage for the company and makes it one of the most profitable large cap entities in the cloud. High and sustainable profitability on the other hand allows the management to reinvest significant amounts back into the business and not rely on constant M&A deals to inflate its topline. While certainly the past 10 years have not been spectacular for the sales growth of Oracle, it seems that things are about to change.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":163130844,"gmtCreate":1623861695488,"gmtModify":1703821895242,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"!!","listText":"!!","text":"!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/163130844","repostId":"2143792023","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":245,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":163197592,"gmtCreate":1623861684016,"gmtModify":1703821894410,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/163197592","repostId":"2143978737","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143978737","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1623857100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143978737?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook's Hardware Business Is Creeping Into Apple's Backyard","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143978737","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"But Apple shouldn't lose any sleep over Facebook's smartwatch plans.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB) could be developing a smartwatch with two cameras, according to The Verge.

Even if Facebook's smartwatch fares better than the Portal, it probably won't generate a meaningful percentage of its revenue or reduce its overall dependence on ads.\nInstead, it should be considered a potential expansion of its ecosystem beyond PCs and phones, which might just complement its ongoing push into the virtual and augmented reality markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":329,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160163191,"gmtCreate":1623775153613,"gmtModify":1703819181824,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like","listText":"Comment and like","text":"Comment and like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160163191","repostId":"1156005756","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160163076,"gmtCreate":1623775137395,"gmtModify":1703819180855,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160163076","repostId":"1146320033","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160169802,"gmtCreate":1623775125806,"gmtModify":1703819179884,"author":{"id":"3573776797513693","authorId":"3573776797513693","name":"Murphy57","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a0040def4d40f2d6fe3090a480b7d44","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573776797513693","authorIdStr":"3573776797513693"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160169802","repostId":"1127088935","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127088935","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623765392,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127088935?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 21:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba stock on watch ahead of major Chinese shopping festival","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127088935","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"China's industry ministryhas warnedAlibaba(NYSE:BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD)t","content":"<p>China's industry ministryhas warnedAlibaba(NYSE:BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD)to regulate their promotional phone messages related to the upcoming annual June 18 shopping festival.</p>\n<p>The seemingly minor warning gains more importance due to China's ongoing crackdown on tech names, which led to the last-minute halt of fintech giant Ant Group's blockbuster IPO late last year and the more recent record antitrust fine for Alibaba.</p>\n<p>The massive 6.18 shopping event is closely watched for signs of consumer health in one of the world's largest economies.</p>\n<p>Last year, Alibaba had 6.18 gross merchandise volume of $98.52B, and JD.com had total transaction volume of $37.99B.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f6a01b5466a4409f5ba6e1f8b6331bc\" tg-width=\"290\" tg-height=\"129\"></p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This creates significant competitive advantage for the company and makes it one of the most profitable large cap entities in the cloud. High and sustainable profitability on the other hand allows the management to reinvest significant amounts back into the business and not rely on constant M&amp;A deals to inflate its topline. While certainly the past 10 years have not been spectacular for the sales growth of Oracle, it seems that things are about to change.</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>Oracle: The Turning Point Of The Business</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\">\nOracle: The Turning Point Of The Business\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-15 17:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434703-oracle-stock-should-you-buy-ahead-of-earnings><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAfter having a go at SAP during the last earnings release in March, Oracle is due to announce its quarterly results this week.\nThe company continues to strengthen its dominant position in the...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434703-oracle-stock-should-you-buy-ahead-of-earnings\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"ORCL":"甲骨文"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434703-oracle-stock-should-you-buy-ahead-of-earnings","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1126045119","content_text":"Summary\n\nAfter having a go at SAP during the last earnings release in March, Oracle is due to announce its quarterly results this week.\nThe company continues to strengthen its dominant position in the Enterprise Resource Planning space and is seeing stronger momentum.\nThe supply-constrained Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers a key competitive advantage for Oracle's ERP and database services.\n\nIt has been almost 8 months since I first covered the high quality business model of Oracle (ORCL) and argued thatstrong businesses are not necessarily expensive. This is especially true in the current environment of extremely loose monetary policy, which is driving valuations of high duration (high growth) companies to extreme levels.\nSince my first analysis of ORCL back in October of last year, it has not only delivered alpha (using itsbetaof 0.8), but also significantly outperformed the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY).\nData byYCharts\nOracle is one of those businesses that do not pursue growth opportunities just for the sake of it. Instead, a steady, profitable and most importantly sustainable business expansion is given a priority. And although this business strategy could appear inferior at a time when expected short-term sales growth is the primary driver of valuations, quite often the slow and steady wins the race.\n\n* data as of 1st of June 2021\nSource: Prepared by the author, using data from Seeking Alpha\nIn the case of ORCL, however, the world 'slow' might not be appropriate, even though a rather simplistic analysis could easily conclude that Oracle is a low quality business as it has not grown its topline revenue numbers meaningfully over the past decade.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from annual and quarterly reports\nFor the past 8 months, however, I have been arguing quite the opposite and showed that under the surface the Oracle's cloud service offering isexceptionally strong and growing.\nAll aboutEnterprise Resource Planning Software (ERP)\nThe cloud ERP space is where Oracle's business is exceptionally strong and far ahead of its other competitors, such as Workday (WDAY), SAP (SAP) and Microsoft (MSFT).\n\nSource:netsuite.comandifs.com\nAlthough the competition in the space has intensified in recent years, the gap between Oracle's Fusion ERP and other competitor offerings has not changed much since 2017.\n\nSource:oracle.com\nBeing the leader in large enterprise cloud ERP has some very important implications. Firstly, the business is very sticky, with large multinational corporations rarely undergoing the risky process of migrating their ERP systems from one vendor to another. This is one of the main reasons why margins of the leaders in the space have been both high and stable over the long run.\nData byYCharts\nSecondly, being an absolute leader in the space, while also combining the ERP service offerings with high quality database and secure cloud infrastructure places Oracle among the leaders in terms of profitability.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from Seeking Alpha\nHaving a non-traditional management approach, the founder of Oracle - Larry Ellison isfamousfor his martial methods. While this means that occasionally Mr. Ellison rants at his competitors, the last conference call was unusual. During the call the CTO of the Oracle went through a very long and impressive list of customers:\n\nI'm now going to go and present a list of over a 100 companies and government agencies that have already moved from SAP ERP to Fusion ERP, or currently in the process of doing so.Larry Ellison - Chairman and Chief Technology OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\n\nSource:diginomica.com\nAccording to the founder the coming years are gearing to be exceptionally strong for Oracle's ERP on the back of new customer wins.\n\nWe are - reading the Gartner report,\nwe are so dominant\n. Our product is\nso much better\nthan anyone else's product in the cloud.\nWe expect to get a significant number more than half of SAP's customers\nwe'll get.Larry Ellison - Chairman and Chief Technology OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nA month later, staying true to his more conventional approach, the CEO of SAP Christian Klein was far less aggressive in its commentary, highlighting that SAP continues to win in the ERP space.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, we saw more than 250 wins replacing competitive solutions\n, underlining our relentless focus on customer value.(...)\n Still we cannot let recent unfounded claims made by one of our competitors go entirely uncommented. Personally, I see it as a very positive sign that one of our main competitors spent so much time talking about SAP on their own earnings call. Let me tell you, we have been through their customer list. And confidentially we checked this claim. I absolutely encourage you to do your own research, talk to the customers as we did. The latest IDC ERP data also helps to put things into perspective. It shows that SAP has taken significant ERP market share since launching S/4HANA in 2015.Source: SAP Q1 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nWho's right and who's not only time will tell, however so far Gartner seems tofavorOracle's offerings and the cloud SaaS business is seeing some improved momentum.\n\nSource: prepared by the author, using data from annual and quarterly reports\nCloud Infrastructure - supply constrained\nA common misconception is that since Oracle is not among the leaders in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) space and lags behind the behemoths Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, then the business model of Oracle is weak.\n\nSource:aws.amazon.com\nThe reason why this is not true is that the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is predominantly a platform that strengthens Oracle's existing leadership in ERP and database.\n\nNow add to that,\nOCI, which is new for us\n, we've\nnever been a platform company\n. We -- Linux is a platform. In the old on-premise days, Linux was a platform, Windows was the most famous platform. There was HP-UX and IBM Metazone offering. So there were a lot of platforms. We weren't ever in that business.\nWe were portable and ran on lots of different platforms. Now we have our own platform for the first time.\nLawrence Ellison - Co-Founder, Chairman & CTOSource: Oracle Q2 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nThat is why, once again, the emphasis is not put on topline growth numbers, but rather on quality, security and the long-term viability of the strategy.\n\nThe Oracle Cloud Infrastructure architecture was designed for security of the platform through isolated network virtualization, highly secure firmware installation, a controlled physical network, and network segmentation.\n\n\nSource: oracle.com\nThat is also why, the OCI has been experiencing supply constrains for a number of quarters now as more of Oracle's existing and new customers migrate their workloads on the cloud.\n\nAs I mentioned last quarter,\nwe experienced capacity constraints for OCI cloud services as customer workloads expanded dramatically\n. In addition, we continue to land many new customers, including ISVs, and we have some very large users coming online shortly that will require significant amounts of capacity. As a result,\nwe're investing aggressively this quarter, this Q4, both OpEx and CapEx to prepare for this increase in cloud consumption and associated revenue in FY2022\n. As such, we are going to target a 49% operating margin for Q4.Safra Catz - Chief Executive OfficerSource: Oracle Q3 2021 Earnings Transcript\n\nOffering a high quality and secure infrastructure offers a significant competitive advantage for Oracle, as it combines strong application, platform, and infrastructure layers under one umbrella.\nConclusion\nOracle is an undisputed leader in the cloud ERP space, which also has exceptionally strong offerings in the database and infrastructure space. This creates significant competitive advantage for the company and makes it one of the most profitable large cap entities in the cloud. High and sustainable profitability on the other hand allows the management to reinvest significant amounts back into the business and not rely on constant M&A deals to inflate its topline. While certainly the past 10 years have not been spectacular for the sales growth of Oracle, it seems that things are about to change.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
