Or are you an <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon.com</a> person? Maybe you use Google?</p>\n<p>Well, if you’re like most people, the number <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> way you discover new brands and products isn’t any of those things.</p>\n<p>Instead, it’s through&nbsp;<b><u>social media</u></b>.</p>\n<p>About 3.4 BILLION people across the globe are plugged into social media. Of those 3.4 billion people, 80% use social media to discover new brands… and more than 75% have bought a product because of a social media post or interaction.</p>\n<p>Indeed, a recent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQ\">Square</a> survey asked 1,800 U.S. consumers what was the number <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> way they discovered new businesses.</p>\n<p>The most popular answer? <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> – and it wasn’t close.</p>\n<p>That shouldn’t be all that surprising.</p>\n<p>After all, the average user spent&nbsp;<b><i>two hours and 24 minutes per day</i></b>&nbsp;on social media platforms in 2020. And while social media used to be a place where friends shared posts and images, it’s now a digital “town hall” of sorts where businesses and influencers are pushing products and services all the time.</p>\n<p>Naturally, if you spend two and a half hours in that kind of forum, you’re going to be exposed to all sorts of new products and services. On top of all that, companies like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> are leveraging millions of data points about your interests to match you to ads for products and services that you’ll be interested in – so, basically, the social media feeds you spend over two hours in every day are just personalized collections of product and service promotions.</p>\n<p>Of course,&nbsp;<b>you’re going to be interested in some of those products and services</b>.</p>\n<p>But that’s where the whole process has traditionally stopped on social media – with interest. Because once interested, the traditional model would have you click on that post or ad, at which point you get redirected to a new website and leave the entire social media ecosystem.</p>\n<p>I don’t know about you, but as soon as that happens, I hit the “back” button as fast as I can. I don’t want to learn a whole new website, browse through new products, and after all that, have to enter new payment info if I end up buying anything.</p>\n<p>What if the social media product discovery process&nbsp;<i>didn’t</i>&nbsp;have to end with interest? What if social media platforms allowed you to buy products and services directly on their platforms?</p>\n<p>That’s exactly what is happening right now, and it’s giving birth to a brand-new industry that I think can be the next big thing in retail –<b><u>Social Shopping</u></b>.</p>\n<p>One example: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> last week, e-commerce solutions provider&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SHOP\">Shopify</a></b>– which provides online selling solutions to an army of small merchants and retailers across the globe – just linked up with&nbsp;<b>TikTok</b>– the ultra-popular video streaming platform – to allow TikTok users to shop directly in the TikTok app for the first time ever.</p>\n<p>Another example: A few weeks prior,&nbsp;<b>Poshmark</b>– the online e-commerce resale platform – and&nbsp;<b>Snap</b>– the photo-sharing social media app – partnered on a social shopping initiative that will allow Poshmark sellers to sell through Snap.</p>\n<p>Folks,&nbsp;<b><i>the Social Shopping Revolution is upon us</i></b>.</p>\n<p>The economic implications are huge. Global e-commerce sales are expected to march toward $5 TRILLION this year, according to eMarketer.</p>\n<p>Considering 80% of consumers use social media to discover new brands, we think it’s very likely that a big chunk of that $5 trillion sales pie will migrate into social shopping channels over the next decade as&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b> ,&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a></b> ,<b>&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PINS\">Pinterest, Inc.</a> </b>,&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>,&nbsp;<b>Instagram</b>,&nbsp;<b>TikTok</b>, and others flesh out robust social shopping experiences.</p>\n<p>The implication is that legacy e-commerce platforms like&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon.com</a></b> and&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ETSY\">Etsy</a></b>may come under pressure from increased competition from social media platforms in the 2020s – and that, more importantly, those social media platforms could build out huge e-commerce businesses that complement their digital advertising empires (most social platforms monetize through ads).</p>\n<p>Sound like a reason to be bullish on social media stocks?</p>\n<p>It absolutely is!</p>\n<p>That’s why, in our exclusive investment research advisory&nbsp;<b><i>Innovation Investor</i></b>, we’ve hand-picked our favorite digital media stocks to buy for huge gains over the next decade, and put them all into a smartly constructed portfolio we call the&nbsp;<b>Digitainment portfolio</b>.</p>\n<p>We firmly believe this portfolio has 5X or greater upside potential over the next five-plus years – and it’s only one of&nbsp;eight different portfolios&nbsp;we have smartly constructed in<i>Innovation Investor</i>to capitalize on every important investment megatrend in the market today.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Or are you an Amazon.com person? Maybe you use Google?\nWell, if you’re like most people, the number one way you discover new brands and products isn’t any of those things.\nInstead, it’s through social media.\nAbout 3.4 BILLION people across the globe are plugged into social media. Of those 3.4 billion people, 80% use social media to discover new brands… and more than 75% have bought a product because of a social media post or interaction.\nIndeed, a recent Square survey asked 1,800 U.S. consumers what was the number one way they discovered new businesses.\nThe most popular answer? Facebook – and it wasn’t close.\nThat shouldn’t be all that surprising.\nAfter all, the average user spent two hours and 24 minutes per day on social media platforms in 2020. And while social media used to be a place where friends shared posts and images, it’s now a digital “town hall” of sorts where businesses and influencers are pushing products and services all the time.\nNaturally, if you spend two and a half hours in that kind of forum, you’re going to be exposed to all sorts of new products and services. On top of all that, companies like Facebook and Twitter are leveraging millions of data points about your interests to match you to ads for products and services that you’ll be interested in – so, basically, the social media feeds you spend over two hours in every day are just personalized collections of product and service promotions.\nOf course, you’re going to be interested in some of those products and services.\nBut that’s where the whole process has traditionally stopped on social media – with interest. Because once interested, the traditional model would have you click on that post or ad, at which point you get redirected to a new website and leave the entire social media ecosystem.\nI don’t know about you, but as soon as that happens, I hit the “back” button as fast as I can. I don’t want to learn a whole new website, browse through new products, and after all that, have to enter new payment info if I end up buying anything.\nWhat if the social media product discovery process didn’t have to end with interest? What if social media platforms allowed you to buy products and services directly on their platforms?\nThat’s exactly what is happening right now, and it’s giving birth to a brand-new industry that I think can be the next big thing in retail –Social Shopping.\nOne example: Just last week, e-commerce solutions provider Shopify– which provides online selling solutions to an army of small merchants and retailers across the globe – just linked up with TikTok– the ultra-popular video streaming platform – to allow TikTok users to shop directly in the TikTok app for the first time ever.\nAnother example: A few weeks prior, Poshmark– the online e-commerce resale platform – and Snap– the photo-sharing social media app – partnered on a social shopping initiative that will allow Poshmark sellers to sell through Snap.\nFolks, the Social Shopping Revolution is upon us.\nThe economic implications are huge. Global e-commerce sales are expected to march toward $5 TRILLION this year, according to eMarketer.\nConsidering 80% of consumers use social media to discover new brands, we think it’s very likely that a big chunk of that $5 trillion sales pie will migrate into social shopping channels over the next decade as Facebook , Snap Inc , Pinterest, Inc. , Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and others flesh out robust social shopping experiences.\nThe implication is that legacy e-commerce platforms like Amazon.com and Etsymay come under pressure from increased competition from social media platforms in the 2020s – and that, more importantly, those social media platforms could build out huge e-commerce businesses that complement their digital advertising empires (most social platforms monetize through ads).\nSound like a reason to be bullish on social media stocks?\nIt absolutely is!\nThat’s why, in our exclusive investment research advisory Innovation Investor, we’ve hand-picked our favorite digital media stocks to buy for huge gains over the next decade, and put them all into a smartly constructed portfolio we call the Digitainment portfolio.\nWe firmly believe this portfolio has 5X or greater upside potential over the next five-plus years – and it’s only one of eight different portfolios we have smartly constructed inInnovation Investorto capitalize on every important investment megatrend in the market today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":625,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814697706,"gmtCreate":1630810663205,"gmtModify":1676530398871,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"comment","listText":"comment","text":"comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/814697706","repostId":"2164808914","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2164808914","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630777500,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2164808914?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-05 01:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood is pouring millions into these China tech stocks — time to follow?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2164808914","media":"MoneyWise","summary":"It’s been a whiplash 2021 for Chinese tech stocks.\nThe Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, which track","content":"<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de23888c2d8d96cf650c99664dbb31b2\" tg-width=\"1800\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>It’s been a whiplash 2021 for Chinese tech stocks.</p>\n<p>The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, which tracks 98 of the biggest Chinese companies listed in the U.S., hit a record high of 20,688 on Feb. 12.

If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that ","content":"<p>Karl Marx would have loved Reddit. If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that everyone should get in on trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency. Not to get rich—though that’s a nice side benefit—but to strike back at the investor class. “It’s worthwhile running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money,” Marx&nbsp;wrote. I’m right there with you, Karl.</p>\n<p>Working-class millennials have been denied the chance to build generational wealth over the course of our professional careers. Many of us are risking what little we have left as a way of raging against a machine we feel is rigged against us. And we’re following in Marx’s footsteps.</p>\n<p>After a friend died in 1864, Marx received £820 in a bequest, his biographer&nbsp;recounts. That comes out to roughly $151,500 today after adjusting for inflation and applying current conversion rates. Marx used a portion of his inheritance to become a financial speculator, often engaging in the same sort of penny-stock bubble schemes that the notorious WallStreetBets sub-Reddit has been accused of engaging in this year. “[Stocks] are springing up like mushrooms this year,” Marx wrote in a letter to his uncle, bragging that he had already made £400 from speculation. He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”</p>\n<p>Marx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billion&nbsp;on meme stocks so far.</p>\n<p>As a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me. HuffPost’s Michael Hobbessummed up&nbsp;millennials’ financial situation best in 2017: “My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.”</p>\n<p>Perhaps because we’re the only American generation to live through two major recessions and two wars in our coming-up years, we’re the first generation to be financially worse off than our parents, despite being&nbsp;better educated&nbsp;on average. We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to&nbsp;Bloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated with&nbsp;even more student debt&nbsp;than their white classmates, are&nbsp;far less likely&nbsp;to be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earn&nbsp;just 60%of what their white coworkers make.</p>\n<p>Millennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup study&nbsp;called&nbsp;millennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago study&nbsp;found millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest in&nbsp;three decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)</p>\n<p>If all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thus&nbsp;torpedoing&nbsp;my career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given the&nbsp;predominantly millennial&nbsp;composition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.</p>\n<p>There’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw with&nbsp;GameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but even&nbsp;reportedly&nbsp;sold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had a&nbsp;financial relationship&nbsp;with firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.</p>\n<p>In March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>When that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation is&nbsp;chiefly responsible&nbsp;for the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin has&nbsp;appreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanley&nbsp;became the&nbsp;first bank&nbsp;to offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>Millennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Why I’m Still Rage-Buying Meme Stocks</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\">\nWhy I’m Still Rage-Buying Meme Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-01 17:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/why-im-still-rage-buying-meme-stocks-51623165336?mod=hp_LEAD_1_B_4><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Karl Marx would have loved Reddit.

If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that everyone should get in on trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency. Not to get rich—though that’s a nice side benefit—but to strike back at the investor class. “It’s worthwhile running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money,” Marx wrote. I’m right there with you, Karl.\nWorking-class millennials have been denied the chance to build generational wealth over the course of our professional careers. Many of us are risking what little we have left as a way of raging against a machine we feel is rigged against us. And we’re following in Marx’s footsteps.\nAfter a friend died in 1864, Marx received £820 in a bequest, his biographer recounts. That comes out to roughly $151,500 today after adjusting for inflation and applying current conversion rates. Marx used a portion of his inheritance to become a financial speculator, often engaging in the same sort of penny-stock bubble schemes that the notorious WallStreetBets sub-Reddit has been accused of engaging in this year. “[Stocks] are springing up like mushrooms this year,” Marx wrote in a letter to his uncle, bragging that he had already made £400 from speculation. He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”\nMarx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billion on meme stocks so far.\nAs a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me. HuffPost’s Michael Hobbessummed up millennials’ financial situation best in 2017: “My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.”\nPerhaps because we’re the only American generation to live through two major recessions and two wars in our coming-up years, we’re the first generation to be financially worse off than our parents, despite being better educated on average. We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to Bloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated with even more student debt than their white classmates, are far less likely to be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earn just 60%of what their white coworkers make.\nMillennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup study called millennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago study found millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest in three decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)\nIf all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thus torpedoing my career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given the predominantly millennial composition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.\nThere’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw with GameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but even reportedly sold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had a financial relationship with firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.\nIn March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.\nWhen that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation is chiefly responsible for the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin has appreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanley became the first bank to offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.\nMillennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818512563,"gmtCreate":1630419102352,"gmtModify":1676530298731,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"no more booster easy $?","listText":"no more booster easy $?","text":"no more booster easy $?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/818512563","repostId":"1165958269","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165958269","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":1630418022,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165958269?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-31 21:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Moderna shares rose more than 2% in early trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165958269","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Moderna shares rose more than 2% in early trading.\n\n\nA study examining the immune response of Modern","content":"<p>Moderna&nbsp;shares&nbsp;rose&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;2%&nbsp;in&nbsp;early&nbsp;trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a6617d6ec5a20d69a181840ef582fb\" tg-width=\"885\" tg-height=\"634\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<ul>\n <li>A study examining the immune response of Moderna's&nbsp;COVID-19 vaccine to Pfizer&nbsp;/BioNTech's&nbsp;found that the former created more than twice as many antibodies as the latter.</li>\n <li>The study, published in the<i>Journal of the American Medical Association</i>, examined 2,499 health care workers in Belgium inoculated with one of the two vaccines.</li>\n</ul>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

What's more, Applied's guidance turned out to be strong as well, fueled by the massive growth in semiconductor investments across the globe as chipmakers are scrambling to meet huge end-market demand.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36e7c524b510f3ddf875d48fa2f3ac29\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's worth noting that Applied Materials stock is now trading at a cheaper valuation than it was before the quarterly report came out, thanks to the terrific earnings growth. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is just 23, while the forward earnings multiple of 17 indicates that more bottom-line growth is in the cards. These multiples are lower than the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b>'s trailing P/E of 31 and forward P/E of 22.</p>\n<p>That means there's a golden opportunity for investors to add a rapidly growing company to their portfolios at an attractive valuation, and they shouldn't miss out. Let's look at some reasons.</p>\n<h2>Applied Materials is now growing at a blistering pace</h2>\n<p>A $1,000 investment in Applied Materials stock a decade ago would be worth almost $12,000 now:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81e0104d17e81fcbfbe06af299b88f05\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AMAT data by YCharts.</span></p>\n<p>However, as the chart above shows, the company's top and bottom lines haven't exactly grown at a blistering pace over the past 10 years. Its revenue just about doubled, while earnings growth hasn't been eye-popping either, considering the pace at which the broader market's bottom line has increased. Also, as the chart indicates, most of Applied Materials' gains arrived in the past year and a half, after it became evident that the company's offerings would remain in hot demand amid a global semiconductor shortage that has disrupted several industries.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Applied Materials' revenue and earnings have been growing at a much faster pace when compared to its average annual growth in the past 10 years. The company delivered record quarterly revenue of $6.2 billion in Q3, up 41% year over year. It also clocked a record (adjusted) operating margin of 32.7%, a jump of 6.3 percentage points over the prior year.</p>\n<p>The terrific sales and margin growth led to record adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share, up 79% from the year-ago quarter.

The company expects, at the midpoint of its guidance range, to earn $1.94 per share this quarter on revenue of $6.33 billion. Wall Street had set the bar lower; analysts were expecting just $1.81 in earnings per share on $6.04 billion in revenue. The midpoint of the guidance indicates that Applied is anticipating 35% year-over-year revenue growth this quarter, while non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings could increase 55%.</p>\n<p>The impressive guidance is a clue that Applied Materials has switched into a higher gear, and it's unlikely to step off the gas given the massive end-market opportunity at hand.

Its largest source of revenue is the semiconductor systems business, through which Applied develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor fabrication equipment. This segment produced nearly 72% of the company's total revenue last quarter and recorded 53% year-over-year growth.</p>\n<p>Within the semiconductor systems business, the foundry/logic vertical occupied the largest share with 63% of total revenue, up from 55% in the year-ago quarter. The foundry business is built for long-term growth, as chipmakers across the globe are ramping up capacity. For instance, global semiconductor capital spending stood at an estimated $29.4 billion in 2010, according to <b>Gartner</b>. Last year, that number had ballooned to $106.9 billion.</p>\n<p>Gartner estimates that global semiconductor spending will rise to $141.9 billion this year. Spending on semiconductor equipment can keep moving higher in the coming years on the back of a huge jump in chip demand.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials points out that the semiconductor industry took 40 years to achieve its first $200 billion in revenue; from 2000 to 2017, the industry added the next $200 billion. An additional $200 billion of revenue is expected by 2024, over a shorter span of just seven years. What's more, the semiconductor industry's revenue is anticipated to increase a whopping $400 billion from 2025 to 2030, hitting $1 trillion at the end of the forecast period.</p>\n<p>Chipmakers will need to buy new equipment or upgrade their existing setups to cater to this massive increase in semiconductor demand, which will be driven by several verticals including automotive, networking, and industrial. Discussing \"PPACt\" (chip power efficiency, performance, area, cost, and time to market), Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson said on the Q3 earnings call that the company is on track to take advantage of these tailwinds and outperform the broader market:</p>\n<blockquote>\n As we look ahead, we are confident that the strength of longer-term secular trends will drive semiconductor and wafer fab equipment markets structurally higher. And we believe Applied is in the best position to accelerate our customers' PPACt roadmaps, and grow significantly faster than our markets.\n</blockquote>\n<p>All of this indicates that Applied Materials is in a solid position to deliver more upside.

Most investors are ignoring it and just infatuated with the ride. They are playing&nbsp;“Fool’s Gambit” —waiting for a greater fool to buy their overvalued stock from them. And why not, greater fools have been showing up in droves for years. Low interest rates inflated the prices of all assets, forcing everyone to take greater and greater risks.</p>\n<p>Then there is pure, unadulterated greed. This market bubble is filled with this “get rich fast” attitude and the fear of missing out; all bubbles are. This time the market has been further deformed by social media, which seems like an enormous amplifier and arguably prolonger of that behavior, bringing what seems an endless supply of incremental buyers (bigger fools).</p>\n<p><b>Market timer’s gambit</b></p>\n<p>Rational people not drunk on greed, who are fine with getting rich slowly, may want to avoid this market altogether.&nbsp; They may play&nbsp;“Market Timer’s Gambit.” Their argument (on the surface) is logical. It goes like this: “I am going to stay on the sidelines for now and will go in after the market dips”.</p>\n<p>There are two problems with this strategy. First, market irrationality can last a long time. Second, though it sounds good in theory, in practice it is difficult to execute.</p>\n<p>Here is an example: Let’s say you went 100% in cash waiting for the market to correct. You waited for a long time and then the market declines 10%. You feel slightly vindicated, but the market really just settled to where it was a few months ago. You have a decision to make: Get in or wait? You are of course prudent, and the market is declining, so you decide to wait.</p>\n<p>The market falls another 10%. You feel a bit more vindicated. Now you feel rewarded for your patience and for the last few years of return you’ve missed out on. But your gut tells you if the market declined 20% and it can go down lower. You wait.</p>\n<p>You were right. The market declines another 10%. Economic news is ugly. The market decline may send the economy into a recession. Or the economy is already in a recession. Now you are worried. You decide to wait.</p>\n<p>The market declines&nbsp;another&nbsp;10%. This cash now feels so dear you don’t want to part with it. You feel like you’ve got this figured out. You tell yourself you’ll invest when the news gets better.</p>\n<p>The news is not getting better. But a strange thing happens. The market has a few strong days. Commentators call them a “dead cat bounce,” expecting further declines. These few strong days are followed by a few more.&nbsp; Suddenly the market has retraced the last 20% of the decline. You feel bad that you didn’t invest two weeks ago (at the now “obvious”) bottom.</p>\n<p>You get the point. Once you are completely out of the market, it is incredibly difficult psychologically to dive back in. I’ve met quite a few people that have stayed out of the market since 2000 and are still waiting for their chance to get in. Just imagine the psychological rollercoaster they went through and the returns they left on the table.</p>\n<p>Even if you got the market timing right once, putting it into a repeatable process is impossible. In addition to getting the timing of the economy right, you have to time the stock market response to the economy. I know many people who timed the market successfully once; I don’t know any who’ve done it twice.</p>\n<p><b>One stock at a time</b></p>\n<p>Investing in the stock market doesn’t need to reside in the extremes of the Fool’s Gambit or the Market Timer’s Gambit. There is a different game available:&nbsp;“One Stock at a Time.”</p>\n<p>Even in this insanely overvalued market not all stocks are overvalued and in search of a greater fool. Armed with patience, a long-term time horizon and our time-tested value investing process, look for high-quality companies, run by great management, that are significantly undervalued (i.e., have a margin of safety).</p>\n<p>This process is not fast and furious and won’t get you rich quickly. It requires mundane work and turning over a lot of rocks. At our firm, we read company financial filings, talk to management, competitors, build our own financial models, debate these investments among ourselves and with our global network of investors.</p>\n<p>Investors can choose from tens of thousands of stocks globally. At our firm, we need only 20 to 30. When we cannot find enough stocks that meet our stringent investment criteria our cash balances go up, then decline as we find new stocks.

Most investors are ignoring it and just infatuated with the ride. They are playing “Fool’s Gambit” —waiting for a greater fool to buy their overvalued stock from them. And why not, greater fools have been showing up in droves for years. Low interest rates inflated the prices of all assets, forcing everyone to take greater and greater risks.\nThen there is pure, unadulterated greed. This market bubble is filled with this “get rich fast” attitude and the fear of missing out; all bubbles are. This time the market has been further deformed by social media, which seems like an enormous amplifier and arguably prolonger of that behavior, bringing what seems an endless supply of incremental buyers (bigger fools).\nMarket timer’s gambit\nRational people not drunk on greed, who are fine with getting rich slowly, may want to avoid this market altogether.  They may play “Market Timer’s Gambit.” Their argument (on the surface) is logical. It goes like this: “I am going to stay on the sidelines for now and will go in after the market dips”.\nThere are two problems with this strategy. First, market irrationality can last a long time. Second, though it sounds good in theory, in practice it is difficult to execute.\nHere is an example: Let’s say you went 100% in cash waiting for the market to correct. You waited for a long time and then the market declines 10%. You feel slightly vindicated, but the market really just settled to where it was a few months ago. You have a decision to make: Get in or wait? You are of course prudent, and the market is declining, so you decide to wait.\nThe market falls another 10%. You feel a bit more vindicated. Now you feel rewarded for your patience and for the last few years of return you’ve missed out on. But your gut tells you if the market declined 20% and it can go down lower. You wait.\nYou were right. The market declines another 10%. Economic news is ugly. The market decline may send the economy into a recession. Or the economy is already in a recession. Now you are worried. You decide to wait.\nThe market declines another 10%. This cash now feels so dear you don’t want to part with it. You feel like you’ve got this figured out. You tell yourself you’ll invest when the news gets better.\nThe news is not getting better. But a strange thing happens. The market has a few strong days. Commentators call them a “dead cat bounce,” expecting further declines. These few strong days are followed by a few more.  Suddenly the market has retraced the last 20% of the decline. You feel bad that you didn’t invest two weeks ago (at the now “obvious”) bottom.\nYou get the point. Once you are completely out of the market, it is incredibly difficult psychologically to dive back in. I’ve met quite a few people that have stayed out of the market since 2000 and are still waiting for their chance to get in. Just imagine the psychological rollercoaster they went through and the returns they left on the table.\nEven if you got the market timing right once, putting it into a repeatable process is impossible. In addition to getting the timing of the economy right, you have to time the stock market response to the economy. I know many people who timed the market successfully once; I don’t know any who’ve done it twice.\nOne stock at a time\nInvesting in the stock market doesn’t need to reside in the extremes of the Fool’s Gambit or the Market Timer’s Gambit. There is a different game available: “One Stock at a Time.”\nEven in this insanely overvalued market not all stocks are overvalued and in search of a greater fool. Armed with patience, a long-term time horizon and our time-tested value investing process, look for high-quality companies, run by great management, that are significantly undervalued (i.e., have a margin of safety).\nThis process is not fast and furious and won’t get you rich quickly. It requires mundane work and turning over a lot of rocks. At our firm, we read company financial filings, talk to management, competitors, build our own financial models, debate these investments among ourselves and with our global network of investors.\nInvestors can choose from tens of thousands of stocks globally. At our firm, we need only 20 to 30. When we cannot find enough stocks that meet our stringent investment criteria our cash balances go up, then decline as we find new stocks. We don’t time the market; we value individual stocks, buying when they are cheap and selling when they are dear.\nTo sum it up: The U.S. stock market today is a dollar bill trading for close to $2 or more. Many stocks are $1 changing hands for $4, $6, $20. But we don’t own the market; instead we have assembled a portfolio of companies priced attractively at 30- to 60-cents on the dollar — one stock at a time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":73,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":837537560,"gmtCreate":1629899276350,"gmtModify":1676530166339,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"not good","listText":"not good","text":"not good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/837537560","repostId":"2162059068","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2162059068","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1629898684,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2162059068?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-25 21:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Cisco Stock A Buy?

In that market, <b>Arista Networks</b> is Cisco's main rival.</p>\n<p>In addition, the tech icon aims to increase recurring revenue from subscription-based software and services and shift away from its core business of selling network switches and routers. Some CSCO stock bulls believe a big, transformational acquisition is needed.</p>\n<p>Cisco has brought in a new chief financial officer, Scott Herren from <b>Autodesk</b>.</p>\n<p>Cisco stock remains one of the top U.S. tech companies in terms of cash on its balance sheet. With 4% dividend yield, CSCO stock still finds support among institutional investors. While Cisco stock provides an attractive dividend, its buyback program has slowed.</p>\n<h2>CSCO Stock Technical Analysis</h2>\n<p>From a 1990 initial public offering through early 2000, Cisco thrived as a major supplier of the hardware to build internet networks, both to telecom firms and large companies outside that sector. Cisco stock soared more than 100,000% in that period, before the dot.com bubble burst.</p>\n<p>From the first quarter of 2016 through the end of 2017, Cisco revenue was flat or fell. Revenue began growing again, albeit in low single digits, starting in early 2018. The inflection put Cisco stock in rally mode.</p>\n<p>After its October 2017 breakout, Cisco stock in 2019 touched new highs not seen since late 2000 during the dot.com boom. As it stands, Cisco stock does not belong to the IBD Long Term Leaders list.</p>\n<p>Cisco earnings growth in 2018 owed much to Trump administration tax changes.</p>\n<h2>Cisco's Growth Through Acquisitions</h2>\n<p>Much of Cisco's revenue growth has come from acquisitions.</p>\n<p>Cisco on Dec. 7 agreed to buy U.K.-based IMImobile, which sells cloud communications software, in a deal valued at $730 million.</p>\n<p>In May 2020, Cisco acquired ThousandEyes, a networking intelligence company, for about $1 billion.</p>\n<p>In 2017, Cisco acquired software maker AppDynamics for $3.7 billion. It bought <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BSFT\">BroadSoft</a> for $1.9 billion in late 2017.</p>\n<p>In July 2019, Cisco acquired Duo Security for $2.35 billion, marking its biggest cybersecurity acquisition since its purchase of Sourcefire in 2013. Acquiring Duo Security bolstered Cisco in an emerging category called zero trust cybersecurity.</p>\n<p>Aside from acquisitions, new accounting rules have been a plus for revenue recognition. The rules known as ASC 606 require upfront recognition of multiyear software licenses.</p>\n<h2>CSCO Stock: Shift To Software And Services</h2>\n<p>As companies shift business workloads to cloud computing services&nbsp;like Amazon Web Services, part of <b>Amazon.com</b>, they could spend less on internal computer networks.&nbsp;In addition, Cisco has lost share in several large markets, though it aims to rebound in cybersecurity.</p>\n<p>Cisco stock reported July quarter earnings of 84 cents per share, up 5% from a year earlier. Revenue rose 8% to $13.1 billion, including acquisitions such as Acacia Communications.</p>\n<p>Software revenue in the quarter was $4 billion, up 9% year-over-year.</p>\n<p>Analysts estimated that Cisco would earn 83 cents per share on revenue of $13.04 billion, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>For its current fiscal first quarter ending in October, Cisco forecast profit of 80 cents versus estimates of 81 cents. Cisco forecast lower gross margins in the October quarter due to supply chain constraints.</p>\n<p>Cisco projected revenue growth of 8.5% at the midpoint of its guidance, topping estimates of 7.5% to $12.83 billion.</p>\n<p>For full-year, fiscal 2022 Cisco said it expects revenue growth in a range of 5% to 7%, slowing from the October quarter. Even so, Cisco's revenue 2022 outlook topped estimates of 4.5%.</p>\n<p>Year-over-year revenue comparisons for Cisco will be tougher in the back half of fiscal 2022.</p>\n<h2>Cisco Stock: Gross Margins Impacted By Supply Chain</h2>\n<p>Global chip shortages have slowed manufacturing. One question has been Cisco's ability to pass on higher costs to customers through product price hikes. In the long run, analysts expect Cisco margins to improve as more revenue comes from software products.</p>\n<p>One bright spot for CSCO stock has been sales of Catalyst 9000 computer network switches.&nbsp;Also, there's opportunity for Cisco in data center upgrades. The so-called \"internet cloud\" is made up of warehouse-sized data centers.</p>\n<p>They're packed with racks of computer servers, data storage systems and networking gear. Most cloud computing data centers now use 100 gigabit-per-second communications gear.</p>\n<p>A data center upgrade cycle to 400G technology has been delayed. The big question is whether Arista or Cisco will gain share in the 400G upgrade cycle.</p>\n<h2>Cisco Stock: Upside From Data Centers?</h2>\n<p>Cisco in 2019 agreed to buy Acacia Communications, a maker of 400G devices, for $2.6 billion in cash. China's government delayed approval of the deal. In January, Cisco upped its offer for Acacia to $4.5 billion and the deal finally closed.</p>\n<p>Arista beat Cisco to market in cloud data centers by grabbing Microsoft, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b> and <b>Amazon.com</b> as customers. But Cisco reportedly has gained business from Microsoft.</p>\n<p>Also, analysts say Cisco is also well-positioned as corporate buyers shift to networking technology called software-defined wide-area networking, or SD-WAN. The technology often taps bandwidth on the public internet.</p>\n<p>With SD-WAN, companies have less need for costly private data networks leased from telecom companies. Cisco competes with <b>VMware</b>, startup Aryaka, <b>Fortinet</b> and CloudGenix in the SDN market. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PANW\">Palo Alto Networks</a></b> recently bought CloudGenix.</p>\n<h2>CSCO Stock: Is It A Buy Now?</h2>\n<p>According to the IBD Stock Checkup, CSCO stock holds a Relative Strength Rating of&nbsp; 83 out of a possible 99. The best stocks tend to have an RS rating of 80 or better.</p>\n<p>In addition, CSCO stock has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B, according to IBD MarketSmith analysis.&nbsp; The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. On an A+ to E scale, the rating measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.</p>\n<p>As of Aug. 25, CSCO stock trades above a buy zone, with a flat base entry point of 55.45.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, there are other options to find the best stocks to buy or watch.

Cisco stock soared more than 100,000% in that period, before the dot.com bubble burst.</p>\n<p>From the first quarter of 2016 through the end of 2017, Cisco revenue was flat or fell.

The outlook for CSCO stock depends on spending trends for cloud computing infrastructure as well as corporate and telecom networks.\nCSCO stock plans to hold its first analyst day in a few years on Sept. 15. Cisco stock provided mixed guidance for its fiscal first quarter of 2022.\n\"(First-quarter) revenue guidance was slightly above estimates, but (per-share earnings) and gross margin guidance were below expectations, impacted by ongoing supply chain constraints,\" Bank of America analyst Tal Liani said in a note to clients.\n\"(Fiscal Q4) order growth was strong, with all verticals showing solid acceleration, yet we flag some weakness in key growth areas, with security, software and subscriptions decelerating sharply, which might reflect some share losses, especially in security,\" Liani went on to say.\nDuring the coronavirus pandemic, corporate spending on data networks slowed amid increased office vacancy rates. One view is that corporate networks will be less important if remote work becomes entrenched.\nAs a result, Cisco stock needs to hike investments in next-generation enterprise networks. The company aims to help corporate customers build hybrid network architectures that utilize on-premise data centers and cloud-computing infrastructure.\nCisco Stock: Transformational Acquisition Needed?\nCisco aims to build up its Webex video conferencing platform versus Microsoft and Zoom Video Communications. It recently acquired Socio Labs to boost Webex events.\nAt its Cisco Live virtual conference in late March, Cisco touted \"hybridization as a foundation block to its product strategy,\" Morgan Stanley analyst Meta Marshall said in a note to clients.\nOne big question is whether Cisco can gain share in cloud computing data centers. In that market, Arista Networks is Cisco's main rival.\nIn addition, the tech icon aims to increase recurring revenue from subscription-based software and services and shift away from its core business of selling network switches and routers. Some CSCO stock bulls believe a big, transformational acquisition is needed.\nCisco has brought in a new chief financial officer, Scott Herren from Autodesk.\nCisco stock remains one of the top U.S. tech companies in terms of cash on its balance sheet.

We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.Company BackgroundAt the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.Major Shareholders of ZhihuThe founder & CEO Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights).

Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.Revenue BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020.

What are the best ways to keep our advantage in the competition? So so far we are doing very well in software,” Wu told CNBC on Wednesday.\n“But moving forward we are looking at all possible options: how to keep us … winning this competition,”\nWhen asked if that includes exploring in-house chipsets as well, Wu said: “That’s one of the directions, yes.”\nWu did not give further details.\nXpeng launched a new electric sedan called the P5 on Wednesday. The vehicle is equipped with Lidar or or Light Detection and Ranging technology, which uses lasers to map the car’s surroundings.\nThis is critical to enable some of the P5′s autonomous driving features that are built in.\nCurrently, the P5 uses chips from Nvidia for autonomous driving and Qualcomm for its in-car digital cockpit.\nDesigning its own semiconductors could give Xpeng more control over the integration between its hardware and software.\nThe company has been focusing on developing technology in-house as a way to differentiate from rivals in China’s crowded electric vehicle market. Not only is Xpeng competing with traditional automakers and start-ups, but an increasing number of technology companies such as Baidu and Xiaomi have also jumped into the fray.\nWu claimed the P5′s hardware and software and “usability of the overall features is much more advanced” than its competitors — and that would give the company an “edge.”\nChinese technology companies have been putting an increasing focus on developing their own semiconductors.Baidu last month raised money for its chip business and Xiaomi unveiled a new chipset for the camera on its latest flagship smartphone.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":64,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577092942653022","authorId":"3577092942653022","name":"XNOP593","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732877c9630f22cc8eb6bebac5e10f6d","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577092942653022","authorIdStr":"3577092942653022"},"content":"Response

Price changes represent stock moves from the March 31 close through Wednesday, June 30:S&P 500Nvidia, up 49.85%\"This is a company with a hammerlock on artificial intelligence and graphics processors and it's become our largest semiconductor company. The company has a $516 billion valuation, up from just $15 billion five years ago,\" Cramer said.\"Nvidia caught fire ... the last three months [given its] fantastic raised guidance and the increasing likelihood that the regulators around the world will allow it to acquire a company called Arm Holdings, the British chipmaker that makes central processing units for both cellphones and personal computers.\"Devon Energy, 33.59%Cramer said CEO Rick Muncrief \"understands that Wall Street is sick and tired of oil companies that spend beyond their means and are awful stewards of capital.\"\"The new Devon has a variable dividend that gives you a huge yield when oil prices are high, like right now,\" he added. \"As long as crude stays above sixty bucks a barrel, we're talking about a 7% yield here. No wonder people like this one for the second half, too.\"Pool Corp, 32.85%\"You might think Pool's a weird fit for this list, ... but you have to remember that the housing market's on fire. [with] rising home values. People are much more likely to invest in their property, and that includes building a pool,\" Cramer said. \"As long as housing stays strong, I bet this stock does just fine.\"Gartner, 32.68%\"Here's a consulting company for everything related to enterprise technology, one that's chiefly known, though, for its in-person conferences. Very much a pent-up demand story,\" Cramer said.\"While the company picked up a lot of business during the pandemic, it's clear that investors believe they'll get a major boost in the second half as those conferences come back,\" Cramer added. \"That said, with the stock up 32% last quarter, I think the easy money already has been made. This one's not for me.\"Equifax, 32.23%\"Equifax shocked Wall Street with its much better than expected results and its more aggressive buyback. I think this could be a terrific second-half story,\" Cramer said. \"This might be the single, most unheralded financial technology play out there.\"Moderna, 79.44%\"If you think Covid's behind us, well then Moderna's a sell. If you think the delta variant is just the beginning and we might need regular booster shots, maybe there's more to it,\" Cramer said.\"To me, the crucial test is whether or not Moderna can offer personalized cancer vaccines … in time to offset the decline in Covid sales,\" he added. \"I think the stock's too high at this point because, even if they're successful at cancer vaccines, the comparisons are so difficult because of how successful they were in Covid.\"Nvidia, 49.85%Nvidia was the second-best performing stock on the Nasdaq in the second quarter. Cramer passed the stock over after discussing its position on the S&P 500's best-performer list.DocuSign, 38.09%\"People often link DocuSign toZoom, two products that took the world by storm during the pandemic, but while Zoom is facing all sorts of new competition and might take a hit as business travel comes back,\" Cramer said, \"DocuSign's gaining speed and offering new categories, like the agreement cloud.\"Idexx Laboratories, 29.07%\"While Idexx is perennially expensive — it currently trades at 80-times earnings — it typically justifies that valuation with fantastic results,\" Cramer said. \"Another 29% rally might be hard to repeat, but I think the company will surprise, indeed, in the second half.\"Intuit, 27.96%\"With the stock up 28% last quarter, I think Intuit has a very good chance of continuing its winning ways, if only because the products keep getting better and better,\" Cramer said. \"If you don't own a small business, I don't think you understand how great these guys really are.\"Intuitive Surgical, 24.45%“Intuitive Surgical rallied 24% last quarter because it has a gigantic replacement cycle and it still has a ton of room to take market share, given all the users for its incredible machine,” Cramer said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":87,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350062242,"gmtCreate":1616140031186,"gmtModify":1704791434997,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please help to comment, thanks!","listText":"Please help to comment, thanks!","text":"Please help to comment, thanks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350062242","repostId":"1108858803","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108858803","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616139603,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1108858803?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 15:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech Recovery Proved Fragile With Index Down Again For Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108858803","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Nasdaq 100 sank 3.1% on Thursday, steepest drop in three weeks\nThe benchmark has erased 2021 gains t","content":"<ul>\n <li>Nasdaq 100 sank 3.1% on Thursday, steepest drop in three weeks</li>\n <li>The benchmark has erased 2021 gains twice in two weeks</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It’s been a rough ride for tech stocks this year.</p>\n<p>In as little as two weeks, the Nasdaq 100 Index has erased its 2021 gains twice. The benchmark plummeted 3.1% Thursday, wiping out its rally for a second time as inflation concerns rattled investors, fueling a selloff in bonds and pummeling U.S. growth stocks. The index posted its worth month since March 8 relative to the S&amp;P 500 Index, which fell 1.5%.</p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the Nasdaq 100 fell as much as 11% from its February record high, shedding more than $1.7 trillion in value as a rally in Treasury yields spooked the stock market. Investors have warned that growth stocks would be among the hardest hit amid a rotation into value as the economy reopens and vaccinations ramp up.</p>\n<p>The drop in the index was widespread. Just three companies finished up during the day’s trading, while 99 fell for a negative 96 spread betweenadvancers and decliners. That’s the second largest gap in the negative directionon the yearand only the second time it has exceeded negative 95.</p>\n<p>“This selloff in tech is unpleasant, but it’s not near the levels where it’s worrisome,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co. “Valuations are pretty rich and the sector has had a good run since last March, so the selloff can take some of the froth off the sector. Longer-term, there is some room for a further advance.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59448d471f154252fad73e076b6d1b8d\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"></p>\n<p>The selloff accelerated after the Nasdaq 100 failed for a second time during the session to surpass a level that some chartists watch to determine whether the benchmark will be able to fully recover from its latest rout. It’s the mid-level of the February-March decline, or 13,044. The gauge came within four points of that threshold right after the open and attempted again around noon, to no avail.

The benchmark plummeted 3.1% Thursday, wiping out its rally for a second time as inflation concerns rattled investors, fueling a selloff in bonds and pummeling U.S. growth stocks. The index posted its worth month since March 8 relative to the S&P 500 Index, which fell 1.5%.\nEarlier this month, the Nasdaq 100 fell as much as 11% from its February record high, shedding more than $1.7 trillion in value as a rally in Treasury yields spooked the stock market. Investors have warned that growth stocks would be among the hardest hit amid a rotation into value as the economy reopens and vaccinations ramp up.\nThe drop in the index was widespread. Just three companies finished up during the day’s trading, while 99 fell for a negative 96 spread betweenadvancers and decliners. That’s the second largest gap in the negative directionon the yearand only the second time it has exceeded negative 95.\n“This selloff in tech is unpleasant, but it’s not near the levels where it’s worrisome,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co. “Valuations are pretty rich and the sector has had a good run since last March, so the selloff can take some of the froth off the sector. Longer-term, there is some room for a further advance.”\n\nThe selloff accelerated after the Nasdaq 100 failed for a second time during the session to surpass a level that some chartists watch to determine whether the benchmark will be able to fully recover from its latest rout. It’s the mid-level of the February-March decline, or 13,044. The gauge came within four points of that threshold right after the open and attempted again around noon, to no avail. According to Fibonacci analysis, a system pioneered by 13th-century mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, stocks have a better chance of making a full recovery after recouping 50% of a retreat.\nThe Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 48% last year as high-flying tech stocksemergedas pandemic winners amid low interest rates and lockdowns that forced consumers to embrace online shopping and a broader shift to the digital world. Come 2021, the sentiment on tech is dwindling as rising yields make high-growth stocks less desirable. A turnaround in economic data adds to optimism a new business cycle is in the early innings. That environment has favored cheaper value companies in the past.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869759027,"gmtCreate":1632323629569,"gmtModify":1676530753732,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy the dip","listText":"buy the dip","text":"buy the dip","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869759027","repostId":"1154932699","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154932699","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":1632321484,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154932699?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-22 22:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"a.k.a.

The 10-year U.S. yield fell below 1.50% in June, while JGB yields also declined and are now approaching zeropercent.\nPurchases of JGBs may have also increased as foreign funds were underweight on Japanese debt, Sumitomo Mitsui’s Yamazaki said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181234032,"gmtCreate":1623395617926,"gmtModify":1704202452993,"author":{"id":"3574053691106982","authorId":"3574053691106982","name":"jw321","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1263b51c7856e75fbd5cf4072078ca6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574053691106982","authorIdStr":"3574053691106982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"help to comment pls!","listText":"help to comment pls!","text":"help to comment pls!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181234032","repostId":"1152092787","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1152092787","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1623395464,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1152092787?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 15:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Begins Deliveries Of Model S Plaid: Everything You Need To Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1152092787","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Tesla Inc TSLA 1.89%has begun delivering its Model S Plaid electric vehicle, as per CEO Elon Musk.\nW","content":"<p><b>Tesla Inc</b>&nbsp;TSLA 1.89%has begun delivering its Model S Plaid electric vehicle, as per CEO Elon Musk.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>&nbsp;Musk made the announcement at adelivery event that was live-streamed&nbsp;on Thursday night.</p>\n<p>As per the Tesla website, the 1,020 horsepower vehicle is on sale for $129,990, excluding any potential savings.</p>\n<p>The vehicle was shown off at the delivery event Thursday by Musk and Tesla’s Senior Design Executive Franz von Holzhausen.</p>\n<p>Musk took to Twitter to talk about the four-door sedan.
