Companies already entered 2021 with more profit-making momentum than expected, with fourth-quarter EPS topping estimates by 17% and unexpectedly growing on a year-over-year basis, Golub said.</p>\n<p>And as vaccines enable the economy to open further, companies should be able to grow results even more, offering further catalysts for their stock prices. Major Wall Street banks expect, on median, that GDP will grow by 6.1% in 2021, Golub added. This would mark a sharp rebound from2020's COVID-induced 3.5% contraction— the worst since 1946.</p>\n<p>\"Accelerating GDP should result in higher revenues (every 1% in GDP is a 2.5-3% change in sales), and an even greater gain in EPSgiven operating leverage,\"Golub added. \"Additionally, rising rates — a benefit to Financials — and copper and oil prices — a boon for Industrials, Energy, and Materials — further augment this favorable backdrop.\"</p>\n<p><i>S&amp;P 500 price target updated on Feb. 23, 2021, following a prior update on Jan. 7, 2021</i></p>\n<p>—</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs (Target: 4,300;

The thing to monitor is whether that changes.\"\nRBC's price target on the S&P 500 remains at 4,100, implying upside of another 4.8% from closing prices on March 23, and a full-year 2021 rise of just over 9%.\nS&P 500 EPS updated March 24, 2021; S&P 500 price target initiated Jan. 20, 2021\n—\nDeutsche Bank (Target: 4,100; EPS: $202): Equities likely to rise, pull back briefly, then rally to new highs by year-end\nDeutsche Bank equity strategist Binky Chadha now sees even more upside for equities, with additional fiscal stimulus set to boost an economy already in the early innings of a post-pandemic rebound.\n\"Near term, we expect equities to continue to move up, supported by an acceleration in macro growth and earnings upgrades, which are already prompting rising positioning and large inflows as is typical, and likely to be further boosted by direct and indirect flows from stimulus payments,\" he wrote in a note on March 12.\n\"We then expect a pullback as growth peaks in Q2 at a high level,\" he added. \"The more front-loaded the impact of the stimulus, the sharper the peak in growth, and the closer this peak in macro growth is to warmer weather (giving retail investors something else to do); and to an increased return to work at the office, the larger we expect the pullback to be.\"\nHowever, he added that he then sees equities rallying back following the potential pullback and reaching 4,100 by year-end. That marks an increase from the firm's previous price target of 3,950 on the S&P 500, and implies additional upside of 3.3% from the S&P 500's record closing high on March 15. The firm also now sees aggregate S&P 500 earnings rising 43% to $202 this year, up from its previous $194 forecast.\nBy sector, Deutsche Bank said its top picks remain energy — as it forecasts West Texas intermediate crude oil will approach $80 per barrel by year-end — and financials, with the 10-year Treasury yield forecast to end the year between 2% and 2.25%.\n\"We move other cyclical sectors (industrials, consumer) from overweight to neutral; stay neutral the secular growth group and underweight the defensives,\" Chadha said. \"Across regions we are overweight the more cyclical EM [emerging markets], Europe and Japan versus the U.S, on a baseline of a global cyclical rebound.\"\nS&P 500 price target updated on March 12, 2021 following a price target initiation Dec.3, 2020\n—\nCredit Suisse (Target: 4,300; EPS: $185): 'Accelerating GDP should result in higher revenues ... and an even greater gain in EPS'\nCredit Suisse strategist Jonathan Golub upwardly revised hisS&P 500 price target for the second time in two monthson February 23. This time, he noted that stronger-than-expected corporate profits and upbeat reopening prospects warranted a more optimistic outlook on equities.\nCredit Suisse's new year-end S&P 500 price target of 4,300 suggests upside of 10.9% from current levels. In January, Credit Suisse saw the S&P 500 ending 2021 at 4,200, and last year expected the index to rise to 4,050.\nGolub now expects aggregate S&P 500 earnings per share to grow to $185 and 2021 and $210 in 2022, up from the $175 and $200, respectively, he estimated previously. Companies already entered 2021 with more profit-making momentum than expected, with fourth-quarter EPS topping estimates by 17% and unexpectedly growing on a year-over-year basis, Golub said.\nAnd as vaccines enable the economy to open further, companies should be able to grow results even more, offering further catalysts for their stock prices. Major Wall Street banks expect, on median, that GDP will grow by 6.1% in 2021, Golub added. This would mark a sharp rebound from2020's COVID-induced 3.5% contraction— the worst since 1946.\n\"Accelerating GDP should result in higher revenues (every 1% in GDP is a 2.5-3% change in sales), and an even greater gain in EPSgiven operating leverage,\"Golub added. \"Additionally, rising rates — a benefit to Financials — and copper and oil prices — a boon for Industrials, Energy, and Materials — further augment this favorable backdrop.\"\nS&P 500 price target updated on Feb. 23, 2021, following a prior update on Jan. 7, 2021\n—\nGoldman Sachs (Target: 4,300; EPS: $181): ‘Fiscal stimulus should support consumer-facing cyclicals'\nGoldman Sachs raised its S&P 500 earnings outlook this month, citing an unexpected bump higher in corporate earnings results as companies rebounded faster than expected from pandemic-related disruptions.\n\"Analysts expected 4Q S&P 500 EPS would fall by 11%, but results showed +2% year/year growth,\" the strategists led by David Kostin said in a note published Feb. 12. \"We raise our S&P 500 2021 EPS estimate 2% to $181 (from $178), reflecting higher sales and profit margins that should overcome input cost pressure due to high operating leverage.\"\nBull Pawing the Ground (Photo by: Digital Light Source/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)\nDespite the improved earnings outlook for this year, Goldman Sachs left its S&P 500 price target at 4,300, implying 9.3% upside from the index's record close on Feb. 12.\nFiscal stimulus will likely comprise the next catalyst for U.S. equities, Kostin added, as lawmakers in Washington work toward another robust round of virus relief measures that would stoke consumer spending and further boost corporate profits.\n\"Many investors believe the spending boost will lead to higher inflation and interest rates, which would reduce the value of equity duration and increase the importance of near-term growth,\" Kostin said. \"Fiscal stimulus should support consumer-facing cyclicals and our High Operating Leverage and Low Labor Cost baskets.\"\nThe firmhighlighted a number of cyclical stocks that appeared appealing due to correlations with consumer spendingand strong earnings growth over the past year, including Whirlpool, Charles Schwab, 3M and Facebook.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":94,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577621549460373","authorId":"3577621549460373","name":"Mavfurious","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7bc7a6fdcc64246397b09b1b07dbf895","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3577621549460373","idStr":"3577621549460373"},"content":"Comment back thanks","text":"Comment back thanks","html":"Comment back thanks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":125502502,"gmtCreate":1624678442106,"gmtModify":1703843461225,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/125502502","repostId":"1100072036","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100072036","pubTimestamp":1624669285,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100072036?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-26 09:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Has Been on Fire This Week.

We found four reasons, outlined below.\nTaking Cues From China\nMany electric-vehicle stocks have been on a winning streak lately, beyond just Tesla. Coming into the week, shares of Chinese EV maker NIO(NIO) were up 17% for the month.XPeng(XPEV) and Li Auto(LI) had gained 31% and 36%, respectively.\nTesla, on the other hand, was down for the month of June coming into this week.

In the most recent earnings call in late February, he noted his conviction that it would be the currency of the internet. To align the company with that notion, Square has aggressively purchased Bitcoin over the last year.</p>\n<p>That makes Square an interesting stock. For investors who prefer not buy cryptocurrency directly, Square is a great way to gain Bitcoin exposure. And for investors who own Bitcoin, Square's robust business can help diversify a crypto-heavy portfolio. Here's why.</p>\n<h2>Bitcoin drives Cash App engagement</h2>\n<p>Square's Cash App launched as a peer-to-peer (P2P) payments platform in 2013, but it has evolved into a suite of financial tools designed to help consumers manage their money in a variety of ways.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/88c64c6a14289a2df7d4705fb6d66113\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Since 2017, Square has added the ability to buy and sell Bitcoin, launched the Square Cash Card, and enabled direct deposit for Cash App consumers. And in November 2020, Square further enhanced the mobile app's financial tools with its acquisition of Credit Karma Tax, a free tax filling service for consumers.</p>\n<p>All of these products have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> thing in common: They are meant to deepen consumer engagement by expanding Cash App usage beyond peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. And it's working -- these strategic moves have powered strong growth in both Cash App monthly active users and gross profit.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2018</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Monthly active users</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>15 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>36 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>55%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Gross profit</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$195 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$1.2 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>151%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Square&nbsp;SEC&nbsp;Filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>In particular, investors should note that Cash App gross profit has grown more quickly than monthly active users. That means Square is generating more revenue per user, and Bitcoin has played a big role in making that happen.</p>\n<p>In fact, more than 3 million Cash App users bought or sold Bitcoin last year, and consumers who use Cash App to trade Bitcoin also use other products (i.e., Square Cash Card, direct deposit) more frequently than the average consumer. In other words, they are more engaged, and more engaged users generate more profit.</p>\n<p>But there's another side to Square's business. While the Cash App ecosystem is a consumer-facing product, the seller ecosystem allows Square to address the merchant side of the digital payments market.</p>\n<h2>Digitization drives the seller ecosystem</h2>\n<p>Digital forms of payment have become increasingly popular over the last decade, driven by convenience and the uptick in e-commerce. In fact, according to a report published by Square, the number of cashless businesses more than doubled in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the U.K.&nbsp;in the last 12 months alone.<b>&nbsp;</b></p>\n<p>That shift away from cash benefits Square in two ways: First, Square provides the hardware and software merchants need to accept in-store digital payments. Second, the company's developer platform makes it easy to add Square-powered checkout options&nbsp;to digital storefronts and mobile apps.

In the most recent earnings call in late February, he noted his conviction that it would be the currency of the internet. To align the company with that notion, Square has aggressively purchased Bitcoin over the last year.\nThat makes Square an interesting stock. For investors who prefer not buy cryptocurrency directly, Square is a great way to gain Bitcoin exposure. And for investors who own Bitcoin, Square's robust business can help diversify a crypto-heavy portfolio. Here's why.\nBitcoin drives Cash App engagement\nSquare's Cash App launched as a peer-to-peer (P2P) payments platform in 2013, but it has evolved into a suite of financial tools designed to help consumers manage their money in a variety of ways.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSince 2017, Square has added the ability to buy and sell Bitcoin, launched the Square Cash Card, and enabled direct deposit for Cash App consumers. And in November 2020, Square further enhanced the mobile app's financial tools with its acquisition of Credit Karma Tax, a free tax filling service for consumers.\nAll of these products have one thing in common: They are meant to deepen consumer engagement by expanding Cash App usage beyond peer-to-peer (P2P) payments. And it's working -- these strategic moves have powered strong growth in both Cash App monthly active users and gross profit.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2018\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nMonthly active users\n15 million\n36 million\n55%\n\n\nGross profit\n$195 million\n$1.2 billion\n151%\n\n\n\nData source: Square SEC Filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nIn particular, investors should note that Cash App gross profit has grown more quickly than monthly active users. That means Square is generating more revenue per user, and Bitcoin has played a big role in making that happen.\nIn fact, more than 3 million Cash App users bought or sold Bitcoin last year, and consumers who use Cash App to trade Bitcoin also use other products (i.e., Square Cash Card, direct deposit) more frequently than the average consumer. In other words, they are more engaged, and more engaged users generate more profit.\nBut there's another side to Square's business. While the Cash App ecosystem is a consumer-facing product, the seller ecosystem allows Square to address the merchant side of the digital payments market.\nDigitization drives the seller ecosystem\nDigital forms of payment have become increasingly popular over the last decade, driven by convenience and the uptick in e-commerce. In fact, according to a report published by Square, the number of cashless businesses more than doubled in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the U.K. in the last 12 months alone. \nThat shift away from cash benefits Square in two ways: First, Square provides the hardware and software merchants need to accept in-store digital payments. Second, the company's developer platform makes it easy to add Square-powered checkout options to digital storefronts and mobile apps. In both cases, Square collects transaction fees based on the gross payment volume (GPV).\nNot surprisingly, the GPV processed on Square's platform has increased steadily in recent years.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nGross payment volume\n$65.3 billion\n$112.3 billion\n20%\n\n\n\nData source: Square SEC Filings.\nTwo big market opportunities\nIn total, management estimates Square's current market opportunity at $160 billion: That's a $60 billion opportunity for the Cash App ecosystem and a $100 billion opportunity for the seller ecosystem. To put that in perspective, Square generated $9.5 billion in revenue last year -- roughly 6% of its total addressable market. That means Square still has plenty of room to grow.\nMoreover, the coexistence of these two businesses -- one built for consumers and the other designed for merchants -- allows Square to tap both sides of the digital payments market. In the coming years, as e-commerce and digital payments continue to gain market share, the company should benefit greatly. That's why Square looks like a smart long-term investment whether you own Bitcoin or not.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320759451,"gmtCreate":1615180544973,"gmtModify":1704779190758,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahahaha well said","listText":"Hahahaha well said","text":"Hahahaha well said","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/320759451","repostId":"1107506637","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107506637","pubTimestamp":1615175919,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107506637?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-08 11:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Opinion: The inflation tantrum scared investors — here are eight tech stocks to buy when it happens again soon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107506637","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Worries over accelerating inflation will persist this year, giving investors a buying opportunity wh","content":"<blockquote><b>Worries over accelerating inflation will persist this year, giving investors a buying opportunity when stocks falter.</b></blockquote><p>If you didn’t buy technology stocks during the inflation tantrum last week, don’t worry, you will get another chance.</p><p>I offer eight stocks for your shopping list, below, from a tech fund manager with a great track record.</p><p>First, here’s why we’ll see more inflation tantrums, and why they’ll be a buying opportunity rather than the start of a bear market.</p><p>Inflation is going to pick up. We can expect more inflation because of all the stimulus, and because personal savings have surged to a post-war high of 14% of GDP. That’s a lot of pent-up demand to drive prices higher.</p><p>“People are ready to get out and spend money and be happy and live life,” says Kevin Landis, who manages the Firsthand Technology Opportunities fund TEFQX, -0.53%. “That unleashing of energy will be really powerful. We are all going to hold our breath and see if that means inflation, or not.”</p><p>It probably will, say two economists I follow. Inflation will rise to 2.2% by year-end, from current levels of 1.5%. predicts Jim Paulsen, an economist and market strategist with the Leuthold Group. Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research predicts it will go up to 2.5%-2.8%. Both economists are referring to the core personal consumption expenditures deflator index.</p><p>•&nbsp;Bond yields will keep going up. The 10-year yield is taking a breather, following the sharp rise that spooked investors last week. But bond yields will increase as more signs of inflation emerge. The 10-year yield will reach 2% by the end of this year, predicts Paulsen. It was recently at 1.5%. Rising rates spark stock selloffs because higher yields make bonds more attractive. Higher rates also reduce stock valuations in models that use the 10-year bond yield to discount distant earnings back to the present.</p><p>•&nbsp;Sentiment remains rich. This makes the market more vulnerable to pullbacks. Complacent investors are easily “surprised” by unforeseen events. Corporate insiders are cautious, also a sign of a vulnerable market.</p><p>•&nbsp;Pullbacks are normal. Following the 74%-98% rise in the S&amp;P 500 SPX, +1.95% and Nasdaq COMP, +1.55% since last March, investors may have forgotten that stocks can go down, too. But pullbacks of 5%-10% are common. Now that so much of the growth is priced in to stocks, we will see more of them.</p><p>“We will probably have at least three or four more panic attacks over the next few months,” predicts Landis, at the Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund.</p><p><b>Inflation? No worries</b></p><p>But like the one last week, the upcoming inflation tantrums will be buyable, because ultimately inflation is not really going to be a big problem for three reasons.</p><p>1. The Covid-19 crisis has pulled forward technology. That will create a burst of productivity growth, which calms inflation fears among investors and the Fed. Productivity growth reduces pressure at companies to pass along the higher costs of labor and materials.</p><p>2. In the background, the same factors that have been suppressing inflation for years are still in place — chiefly greater use of technology, global trade, and the aging of the population. Older people tend to spend less. And technology and trade lower the cost of goods.</p><p>3. History shows inflation during times of solid economic growth doesn’t hurt stocks, according to a study published by Paulsen on March 1. Inflation when growth is sluggish can end stock market rallies. But we will have robust growth this year, so that doomsday scenario is unlikely.</p><p><b>List of tech stocks</b></p><p>Tech stocks get hit harder during inflation tantrums because they are “long duration assets.” So much of their growth is in the distant future that when discount rates in valuation models go up, the perceived value of tech stocks falls hard.</p><p>For a short list of tech stocks to consider buying during the next inflation tantrums, it makes sense to look at the holdings of Landis’ Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund because he has such a solid record. During the past three to five years, his fund has beaten competing technology funds by over 10 percentage points annualized, according to Morningstar. He beats the Morningstar U.S. Technology stock index by 9.7 percentage points or more annualized, over the same time frame.</p><p>His portfolio is an interesting source of ideas because it’s not the typical line up of Alphabet GOOGL, +3.10%, Amazon AMZN, +0.77% and Apple AAPL, +1.07%, though he does own Netflix NFLX, +1.00%. Instead, Landis likes to be ahead of the game by investing in earlier-stage tech companies that will grow because they are smaller — but still disrupters in some line of business.</p><p>Here’s a guide to some of his favorite stocks.</p><p><b>Roku, Chegg and Cree</b></p><p>Landis is not afraid to let portfolio positions get huge if he still likes the company. That is the case with Roku ROKU, -1.78%, Chegg CHGG, -1.17% and Cree CREE, +4.39%. They represented 21.5%, 8.3% and 6% of his portfolio at the end of last year. That’s a vote of confidence, because many mutual fund portfolio managers like to cap position size at 2%-5%, to limit single-stock risk.</p><p>“We still like these a lot,” says Landis.</p><p>He expects Roku to continue to grow because it is so far ahead of competing streaming services that are stumbling as they ramp up. “It’s kind of a mess out there,” says Landis. “Roku has done a lot of the hard work that other companies are only just getting started on.” Roku makes money by selling channel buttons on its platform, digital advertising and content-distribution services. It also sells devices.</p><p>Landis expects the online education company Chegg to continue growing now that people are more familiar with distance learning because of Covid-19.</p><p>“Companies that can facilitate distance learning are in a better position now because everyone knows what works and what does not work,” says Landis. He thinks the education sector is ripe for “disruption” and Chegg will be one of the main companies shaking things up.</p><p>Cree is a key producer of semiconductors used in electronic vehicles, which should support solid demand growth for years.</p><p><b>Zscaler</b></p><p>The Internet is the new corporate network and the cloud is the new data center. So the old concept of security software that guards the perimeter of a corporate network is fading fast. Zscaler ZS, -3.06% offers security systems for this new environment. There are plenty of years of growth ahead because most companies are still in the early stages of moving to the cloud. Covid-19 has accelerated this transition, given that so many people work from home.</p><p><b>Domo</b></p><p>Domo’s DOMO, +1.06% Business Cloud platform helps people manage and learn from the vast amounts of data inside and outside their companies. The service helps managers collect, analyze, store and share data.</p><p>Domo’s “Mr. Roboto” feature helps deploy machine-learning algorithms to analyze trends, make predictions and provide alerts.</p><p>“For any business, there are a handful of internal and external metrics that people want on their personal dashboard every day,” says Landis. “Domo provides great tools to do that.”</p><p><b>DocuSign</b></p><p>DocuSign DOCU, -3.00% speeds up the pace of business by digitizing forms used in contracts and agreements. Its forms replace “wet” signatures with e-signatures. It also offers software that automates the whole process, called the DocuSign Agreement Cloud.</p><p>To anyone who has used e-signatures on tax forms or work contracts, DocuSign may seem like a one-trick pony. But that’s not the case, says Landis. There’s plenty of room to expand in real estate, car dealerships and the venture-capital business, and highly regulated industries.</p><p><b>Bill.com</b></p><p>Bill.com’s BILL, +0.23% cloud-based accounting software simplifies back-office operations for small businesses. Aside from tracking numbers, the software helps companies connect with suppliers and clients. Customers include most of the top 100 accounting firms, and also big companies like Bank of America BAC, +1.18%, J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +0.23% and American Express AXP, +3.26%.</p><p>But the sweet spot for growth is the startup that’s not locked in to legacy systems. “Accounting software systems are notorious for having market share just because they are incumbent,” says Landis. “But when people are setting up companies, they want to go with the best.”</p><p><b>Qell Acquisition</b></p><p>While acknowledging the potential pitfalls in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), which I identify here, Landis welcomes them as a streamlined alternative to the traditional initial public offerings. Like me, Landis favors SPACs with a promising sponsor lineup.</p><p>The sponsor slate at Qell QELLU, +2.43% suggests it will merge with an electric vehicle (EV) company. CEO and director Barry Engle worked at General Motors GM, +3.70% for years. And finance chief Sam Gabbita comes from OGCI Climate Investments, and a private investment fund specializing in sustainability investing called Element Partners. Given the amazing performance of Tesla TSLA, -3.78%, an EV SPAC may not be such a bad idea.</p>","source":"market_watch","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>Opinion: The inflation tantrum scared investors — here are eight tech stocks to buy when it happens again soon</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\">\nOpinion: The inflation tantrum scared investors — here are eight tech stocks to buy when it happens again soon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-08 11:58 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-inflation-tantrum-scared-investors-here-are-eight-tech-stocks-to-buy-when-it-happens-again-soon-11614776551?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Worries over accelerating inflation will persist this year, giving investors a buying opportunity when stocks falter.If you didn’t buy technology stocks during the inflation tantrum last week, don’t ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-inflation-tantrum-scared-investors-here-are-eight-tech-stocks-to-buy-when-it-happens-again-soon-11614776551?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SPY":"标普500ETF",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-inflation-tantrum-scared-investors-here-are-eight-tech-stocks-to-buy-when-it-happens-again-soon-11614776551?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/599a65733b8245fcf7868668ef9ad712","article_id":"1107506637","content_text":"Worries over accelerating inflation will persist this year, giving investors a buying opportunity when stocks falter.If you didn’t buy technology stocks during the inflation tantrum last week, don’t worry, you will get another chance.I offer eight stocks for your shopping list, below, from a tech fund manager with a great track record.First, here’s why we’ll see more inflation tantrums, and why they’ll be a buying opportunity rather than the start of a bear market.Inflation is going to pick up.

Following the 74%-98% rise in the S&P 500 SPX, +1.95% and Nasdaq COMP, +1.55% since last March, investors may have forgotten that stocks can go down, too. But pullbacks of 5%-10% are common. Now that so much of the growth is priced in to stocks, we will see more of them.“We will probably have at least three or four more panic attacks over the next few months,” predicts Landis, at the Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund.Inflation? No worriesBut like the one last week, the upcoming inflation tantrums will be buyable, because ultimately inflation is not really going to be a big problem for three reasons.1. The Covid-19 crisis has pulled forward technology. That will create a burst of productivity growth, which calms inflation fears among investors and the Fed. Productivity growth reduces pressure at companies to pass along the higher costs of labor and materials.2. In the background, the same factors that have been suppressing inflation for years are still in place — chiefly greater use of technology, global trade, and the aging of the population. Older people tend to spend less. And technology and trade lower the cost of goods.3. History shows inflation during times of solid economic growth doesn’t hurt stocks, according to a study published by Paulsen on March 1. Inflation when growth is sluggish can end stock market rallies. But we will have robust growth this year, so that doomsday scenario is unlikely.List of tech stocksTech stocks get hit harder during inflation tantrums because they are “long duration assets.” So much of their growth is in the distant future that when discount rates in valuation models go up, the perceived value of tech stocks falls hard.For a short list of tech stocks to consider buying during the next inflation tantrums, it makes sense to look at the holdings of Landis’ Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund because he has such a solid record. During the past three to five years, his fund has beaten competing technology funds by over 10 percentage points annualized, according to Morningstar. He beats the Morningstar U.S. Technology stock index by 9.7 percentage points or more annualized, over the same time frame.His portfolio is an interesting source of ideas because it’s not the typical line up of Alphabet GOOGL, +3.10%, Amazon AMZN, +0.77% and Apple AAPL, +1.07%, though he does own Netflix NFLX, +1.00%. Instead, Landis likes to be ahead of the game by investing in earlier-stage tech companies that will grow because they are smaller — but still disrupters in some line of business.Here’s a guide to some of his favorite stocks.Roku, Chegg and CreeLandis is not afraid to let portfolio positions get huge if he still likes the company. That is the case with Roku ROKU, -1.78%, Chegg CHGG, -1.17% and Cree CREE, +4.39%. They represented 21.5%, 8.3% and 6% of his portfolio at the end of last year. That’s a vote of confidence, because many mutual fund portfolio managers like to cap position size at 2%-5%, to limit single-stock risk.“We still like these a lot,” says Landis.He expects Roku to continue to grow because it is so far ahead of competing streaming services that are stumbling as they ramp up. “It’s kind of a mess out there,” says Landis. “Roku has done a lot of the hard work that other companies are only just getting started on.” Roku makes money by selling channel buttons on its platform, digital advertising and content-distribution services. It also sells devices.Landis expects the online education company Chegg to continue growing now that people are more familiar with distance learning because of Covid-19.“Companies that can facilitate distance learning are in a better position now because everyone knows what works and what does not work,” says Landis. He thinks the education sector is ripe for “disruption” and Chegg will be one of the main companies shaking things up.Cree is a key producer of semiconductors used in electronic vehicles, which should support solid demand growth for years.ZscalerThe Internet is the new corporate network and the cloud is the new data center. So the old concept of security software that guards the perimeter of a corporate network is fading fast. Zscaler ZS, -3.06% offers security systems for this new environment. There are plenty of years of growth ahead because most companies are still in the early stages of moving to the cloud. Covid-19 has accelerated this transition, given that so many people work from home.DomoDomo’s DOMO, +1.06% Business Cloud platform helps people manage and learn from the vast amounts of data inside and outside their companies. The service helps managers collect, analyze, store and share data.Domo’s “Mr. Roboto” feature helps deploy machine-learning algorithms to analyze trends, make predictions and provide alerts.“For any business, there are a handful of internal and external metrics that people want on their personal dashboard every day,” says Landis. “Domo provides great tools to do that.”DocuSignDocuSign DOCU, -3.00% speeds up the pace of business by digitizing forms used in contracts and agreements. Its forms replace “wet” signatures with e-signatures. It also offers software that automates the whole process, called the DocuSign Agreement Cloud.To anyone who has used e-signatures on tax forms or work contracts, DocuSign may seem like a one-trick pony. But that’s not the case, says Landis. There’s plenty of room to expand in real estate, car dealerships and the venture-capital business, and highly regulated industries.Bill.comBill.com’s BILL, +0.23% cloud-based accounting software simplifies back-office operations for small businesses. Aside from tracking numbers, the software helps companies connect with suppliers and clients. Customers include most of the top 100 accounting firms, and also big companies like Bank of America BAC, +1.18%, J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +0.23% and American Express AXP, +3.26%.But the sweet spot for growth is the startup that’s not locked in to legacy systems. “Accounting software systems are notorious for having market share just because they are incumbent,” says Landis. “But when people are setting up companies, they want to go with the best.”Qell AcquisitionWhile acknowledging the potential pitfalls in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), which I identify here, Landis welcomes them as a streamlined alternative to the traditional initial public offerings. Like me, Landis favors SPACs with a promising sponsor lineup.The sponsor slate at Qell QELLU, +2.43% suggests it will merge with an electric vehicle (EV) company. CEO and director Barry Engle worked at General Motors GM, +3.70% for years. And finance chief Sam Gabbita comes from OGCI Climate Investments, and a private investment fund specializing in sustainability investing called Element Partners. Given the amazing performance of Tesla TSLA, -3.78%, an EV SPAC may not be such a bad idea.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"content":"Comment for comment","text":"Comment for comment","html":"Comment for comment"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186813737,"gmtCreate":1623483896629,"gmtModify":1704204906088,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like thx","listText":"Comment and like thx","text":"Comment and like thx","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/186813737","repostId":"1118102755","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118102755","pubTimestamp":1623469189,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1118102755?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-12 11:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don’t be fooled — inflation is a big risk for stock market investors.

Stock investors tend to panic when interest rates rise a lot.</p>\n<p><b>Fed tapering</b></p>\n<p>Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has downplayed the need for tapering the central bank’s bond purchases to keep yields low. But half of the 12 members of the Federal Open Market Committee&nbsp;(FOMC) have recently said they’re ready to start talking about tapering. The FOMC is the Fed branch that sets monetary policy.</p>\n<p>“It will be increasingly hard for Powell to claim the economy needs to make ‘substantial further progress’ toward achieving maximum employment before the Fed starts talking about talking about tapering,” says Ed Yardeni, author of Predicting the Markets and head of Yardeni Research.

It is a natural part of the bull market that allows the market to go higher. It’s a healthy development.”</p>\n<p>Looking through all the market fireworks that may lie ahead, Paulsen thinks underlying economic growth will push S&amp;P 500 earnings up to $220 by the end of the year. Assuming the S&amp;P 500 is at current levels or a little bit lower, that would bring the index’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio down to 18-19 — which is near or below the average since 1990. “That sets up the next leg of the bull market,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>Your five-point game plan</b></p>\n<p><b>1. Do not go to “defensives”</b></p>\n<p>When people see stock market turbulence, the knee-jerk reaction is to go for the “stability” of defensive names like utilities and consumer staples. But that would be a mistake. You want to go to defensives when the economy is slowing or contracting, not when it is strong. Another problem is that defensive names pay yield. So, like bonds, they get hit by rising interest rates, which devalue dividends — and dividend-paying stocks and bonds.</p>\n<p>“The best way to protect yourself is to tie your portfolio to the overheated economy. That is where the best profit growth and profit leverage is,” says Paulsen. “You do not get that with defensives.”</p>\n<p><b>2. Go with companies that benefit from growth</b></p>\n<p>Since rapid economic growth is causing the tapering — and the growth is usually not killed off by tightening — stocks linked to growth typically are the best place to be. This means cyclicals like industrials, basic materials consumer names, small-caps and international stocks. “Slower growth consumer staples and utilities won’t keep up with growth areas of the market,” says Paulsen.</p>\n<p>I first suggested Lindblad Expeditions LIND,+0.17%&nbsp;and Cardlytics CDLX,+4.54%&nbsp;and in my stock letter, Brush Up on Stocks (the link to my site is in the bio, below) in September 2020 and November 2019. I still like and own both even though they are up 48% and 157% — or two to four times the S&amp;P 500. Recent insider buying confirms they are buys and holds around current levels. Plus, both are cyclical names. Cardlytics helps credit card companies understand customer buying patterns for marketing purposes. Lindblad offers specialized cruise adventures to exotic locales. Both benefit from economic growth that powers more consumer spending.</p>\n<p><b>3. Do not get out of stocks</b></p>\n<p>If you think a selloff is coming, it might be tempting to try to get out of stocks right before that, to buy back after the weakness happens. But this is a lot harder than you think. In fact, it is almost impossible to get the timing right, say market veterans.</p>\n<p>“You have to make two smart decisions,” says Yardeni. “You have to get out just before the correction and then you have to decide when to get back in. I don’t know of too many people that can do that consistently.”</p>\n<p>Market timers often get out and don’t get back in, and they miss the next leg up. “You can get yourself into trouble trying to avoid the correction,” says Paulsen.</p>\n<p><b>4. Do not own bonds</b></p>\n<p>Bond yields will be 2% or higher by the end of year. So don’t own bonds, whose prices fall when yields rise — unless you simply plan to hold to maturity to collect the income.</p>\n<p><b>5. Go with financials</b></p>\n<p>Strong economies typically make the yield curve more upward sloping, meaning that long-term interest rates on 10-year Treasuries rise a lot faster than short-term interest rates. Since banks borrow at the short end and lend at the long end, steepening yield curves help them.</p>\n<p>The strong economy will also help banks release reserves and lower provisions for loan losses, both of which can boost earnings, points out Yardeni. Both JPMorgan Chase JPM,-0.07%&nbsp;and Bank of America BAC,+0.41%&nbsp;are up over twice as much as the S&amp;P 500 since I suggested them in my stock letter last August. But they still look attractive. Recent pattern buying by smart insiders among smaller banks confirms the sector is still one to own, despite the strength over the past few quarters.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Don’t be fooled — inflation is a big risk for stock market investors.

Recent pattern buying by smart insiders among smaller banks confirms the sector is still one to own, despite the strength over the past few quarters.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":53,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353187215,"gmtCreate":1616470181937,"gmtModify":1704794507939,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well well","listText":"Well well","text":"Well well","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353187215","repostId":"2121833106","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2121833106","pubTimestamp":1616469915,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2121833106?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-23 11:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft in talks to acquire Discord for more than $10 billion: Bloomberg News","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2121833106","media":"reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp is in talks to buy messaging platform Discord Inc for more than $10 billi","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp is in talks to buy messaging platform Discord Inc for more than $10 billion, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.</p><p>Discord has reached out to potential buyers and Microsoft is one of them, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter, while one of them said it was more likely to go public than sell itself.</p><p>Earlier in the day, VentureBeat reported that Discord was exploring a sale and it was in final talks with a party.</p><p>Both Microsoft and Discord did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comments.</p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the prospects of gaming companies as people stayed at home and turned to video games for entertainment during lockdowns.</p><p>Earlier this month, U.S. gaming company Roblox made a strong market debut after going public through a direct listing rather than a traditional initial public offering.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”</p><p>—</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"</p><p>\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"</p><p>See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.</p><p>—</p><p>Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.</p><p>Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.</p><p>Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\">If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"—Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"—Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.—Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.—A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"—One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346501288,"gmtCreate":1618060341444,"gmtModify":1704706401058,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346501288","repostId":"1142324412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142324412","pubTimestamp":1617982207,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142324412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142324412","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.Feared chip shortage  was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese go","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.</li>\n <li>Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.</li>\n <li>Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.</li>\n <li>Feared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e0f3343d69719839f9b8f1d337c3984\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>Photo by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Introduction</b></p>\n<p>The stock price of&nbsp;XPEV&nbsp;has been converging with the performance of the S&amp;P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020. This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.</p>\n<p><i>The frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&amp;P 500 more closely</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f04001d604ecc7892ef3a76c498578b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"><span>Source: SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><i>XPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68446a741f9f97afc10f2149c4e13e13\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"><span>Source: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA</span></p>\n<p><b>Industry and commercial positives</b></p>\n<p>Optimism on EVs and&nbsp;strong industry growth&nbsp;rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Of note, in late March, XPEV held an&nbsp;autonomous driving expedition&nbsp;covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the&nbsp;competitive landscape&nbsp;against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results&nbsp;performed better&nbsp;than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.</p>\n<p><b>XPEV's improving financials</b></p>\n<p>Now that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.</p>\n<p>Another point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities &amp; equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.</p>\n<p><i>XPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8258dce0cc10e8118a23afce7655bed\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"737\"><span>*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><b>XPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.</p>\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa975ce545e950a20f809bcc7f698ef6\" tg-width=\"911\" tg-height=\"594\">\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><b>Conclusion and Risks</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.</p>\n<p>Competition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.</p>\n<p>Much feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.</p>\n<p>On a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.</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>XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening</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\">\nXPeng Inc.: A Reawakening\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-09 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1142324412","content_text":"Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.\nFeared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.\n\nPhoto by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nIntroduction\nThe stock price of XPEV has been converging with the performance of the S&P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020.

The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.\nGovernment support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.\nListing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and LI intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.\n\nOf note, in late March, XPEV held an autonomous driving expedition covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the competitive landscape against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results performed better than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.\nXPEV's improving financials\nNow that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.\nAnother point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.\nMeanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities & equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.\nXPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation\n*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle\nXPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Risks\nXPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.\nCompetition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.\nMuch feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.\nOn a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366553122,"gmtCreate":1614519341266,"gmtModify":1704772218103,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noice","listText":"Noice","text":"Noice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366553122","repostId":"1117820997","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117820997","pubTimestamp":1614337504,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117820997?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 19:05","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Coinbase IPO: 5 things to know about the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117820997","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading","content":"<p>A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading platform filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Coinbase&nbsp;plans to list on the Nasdaq Inc. exchange&nbsp;under the ticker symbol “COIN,” with the aim of employing a nontraditional direct listing to take itself public.

Over the last year, the company generated a healthy free cash flow margin of 33% compared to revenue and paid $316 million in dividends to shareholders.</p>\n<p>While Take-Two is smaller and is more dependent on a few franchises, CEO Strauss Zelnick, who took over in 2011,&nbsp;is gradually turning Take-Two into a bigger and more profitable leader in the industry. Since <i>Grand Theft Auto V</i>&nbsp;launched in 2013, Take-Two's free cash flow has increased by 347% to $843 million.

The millions of new players who started gaming during the pandemic, along with the console launches from Sony and Microsoft, are catalysts for the big game companies to sell more content into a wider installed base.\nActivision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) are two market leaders that operate some of the best-selling game franchises in the industry. Activision is known for Call of Duty and World of Warcraft and generates over $8 billion a year in bookings (a non-GAAP measure of revenue). Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto V has sold a staggering 145 million copies, which has pushed the company's bookings to over $3 billion.\nI'll say up front that I believe Take-Two is well-positioned to deliver much better returns than Activision Blizzard over the next five years. Here's why.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe margin gap\nActivision has many good qualities investors look for in an investment. It has eight franchises that have generated $1 billion in lifetime bookings. It has a large player base of over 400 million monthly active users, and management has a great record of allocating capital through acquisitions that create shareholder returns. Over the last year, the company generated a healthy free cash flow margin of 33% compared to revenue and paid $316 million in dividends to shareholders.\nWhile Take-Two is smaller and is more dependent on a few franchises, CEO Strauss Zelnick, who took over in 2011, is gradually turning Take-Two into a bigger and more profitable leader in the industry. Since Grand Theft Auto V launched in 2013, Take-Two's free cash flow has increased by 347% to $843 million. The digital distribution of games has brought more-consistent profits for management to reinvest in expanding its game library, with the long-term goal to build greater scale, reach more players, and improve operating margin.\nCompared to Activision's stellar operating margin of 35.2%, Take-Two's operating margin is currently at 18.7% on a trailing-12-month basis, but that's exactly why Take-Two offers more upside to investors. It has made major strides to squeeze more profits out of its business, and its operating margin is still trending up.\nATVI operating margin (TTM) data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.\nIf Take-Two's operating margin improves to over 20%, it will drive much faster growth in earnings per share and fuel a rising share price.\nHere are the consensus analyst estimates for Activision's adjusted operating margin and EPS growth through 2023.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2021\n2022\n2023\n\n\nAdjusted operating margin\n42.8%\n44.1%\n45%\n\n\nAdjusted EPS\n8.4%\n18%\n4.6%\n\n\n\nData source: Atom Finance.\nHere are the same estimates for Take-Two.\n\n\n\nMetric\nFiscal 2022\nFiscal 2023\nFiscal 2024\n\n\nAdjusted operating margin\n19%\n23.2%\n24.6%\n\n\nAdjusted EPS (loss)\n(28.5%)\n49.9%\n30.8%\n\n\n\nData source: Atom Finance.

Bluebell said in a letter to the regulator last week there’s a risk Vivendi may eventually allow Bollore to strengthen his control over UMG.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":61,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3560894228634455","authorId":"3560894228634455","name":"AzuNyaa","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e65996a02c73a885a74a5e91062fa07e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3560894228634455","idStr":"3560894228634455"},"content":"the unexpected always happen","text":"the unexpected always happen","html":"the unexpected always happen"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379625506,"gmtCreate":1618731912205,"gmtModify":1704714430303,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gone","listText":"Gone","text":"Gone","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379625506","repostId":"1175692875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175692875","pubTimestamp":1618582708,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175692875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"$544 Billion In Options Expire Today: Here's What Will Move","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175692875","media":"zerohedge","summary":"While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire","content":"<p>While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire, may of which will be worthless, and others will be providing a supporting \"pin\" to underlying prices.

As this week's events illustrate, however, the suspension of a vaccine run the risk of affecting public opinion surrounding the entire process.</p><p>The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended a pause  in the use of the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine on Tuesday as they examine six severe cases of blood clots among the roughly 7 million people who have had the vaccine administered. J&amp;J also halted its rollout in Europe.</p><p>The vaccine from J&amp;J unit <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">$(JNJ)$</a> Janssen is an adenovirus vector-based vaccine that only requires one shot. Clinical trials showed it had 72% efficacy in the U.S .</p><p>The two-shot mRNA-based vaccines made by Pfizer <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">$(PFE)$</a> with German partner <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BNTX\">BioNTech SE</a> (BNTX) and Moderna <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRNA\">$(MRNA)$</a> make up the majority of shots administered in the U.S., and bith were about 95% effective in clinical trials. (Mayo Clinic research puts their \"real world</p><p>Currently, 22.7%  to discuss the cases, and the FDA has opened an investigation into the cause of the clots.</p><p>The J&amp;J blood-clot issue is similar to one that caused many European countries to pause and/or restrict use of the AstraZeneca (AZN.LN) vaccine developed with Oxford University, which is also an adenovirus viral vector-based vaccine. The U.K. has restricted its use to those over age 30.</p><p>On Wednesday, Denmark said it would halt use of AstraZeneca. \"The Danish Health Authority has decided to continue the vaccination against COVID-19 without the vaccine from AstraZeneca,\" it said in a statement. Other European countries have restricted its use.</p><p>\"It's still a race between the variants  and the vaccine,\" Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the John Hopkins Center for Health Security and a spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, told MarketWatch.</p><p>Operation Warp Speed, as Trump administration called its vaccine development and distribution program, has been key to this success, he said. \"Part of Operation Warp Speed was not knowing which ones would cross the finish line, and having alternative vaccines that can handle the J&amp;J pause and other vaccines in the pipeline,\" Adalja said. \"We are increasingly not supply-constrained in the U.S. because of the bulk manufacture of vaccines.\"</p><p>The FDA and CDC said the J&amp;J pause would give their scientists time to investigate the six cases of blood clotting in vaccinated individuals. Those cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a blood-clotting disorder, have emerged out of the 6.8 million--plus people in the U.S. who have received this vaccine.</p><p>All six cases of blood clots occurred in women ages 18 to 48. One woman died, and a second remains in critical condition, according to information released by the FDA. \"We are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution,\" health officials said .</p><p>\"Hiccups in production and hiccups in safety are inevitable,\" said Dr. Andrew Pavia, the George and Esther Gross Presidential Professor at the University of Utah and head of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. \"It was a wise decision to spread the risk,\" he told MarketWatch. \"Factories can be hit by a hurricane, run out of a supply, or be hit by contamination that forces them to shut down.\"</p><p>President Joe Biden, speaking to the media during an Oval Office meeting on Tuesday, emphasized that his administration has ordered 600 million doses of the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna and thus can vaccinate all adults even without either the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine or AstraZeneca's, which has not been authorized in the U.S. and has been paused in other countries, also over blood-clot concerns.</p><p>But the different efficacies of vaccines, their reported responses to variants and their respective side effects appear to take tolls on public opinion. \"When I was offered Moderna, J&amp;J wasn't even an option. It was never in my consideration not to take it,\" said Maury Newburger, a New York travel consultant who received the Moderna vaccine in March.</p><p>\"Knowing what I know now, I probably would not take the J&amp;J,\" he said. \"I still think I would have taken the two-shot vaccines.\"</p><p><b>The good (and the bad) news</b></p><p>The good news: Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna supply the majority of vaccines in the U.S., and currently ship roughly 23 million doses a week in the country. The White House said the J&amp;J pause would not have a \"significant impact\" on the rollout in the U.S.</p><p>\"We've been doing fairly well and not having the outcome Europe is having,\" Adalja said. \"We have successfully vaccinated high-risk populations: nursing-home residents and those in community dwellings. We're nowhere near the winter surge. Nursing-home deaths have plummeted.\"</p><p>White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said in a statement : \"This [J&amp;J pause] announcement will not have a significant impact on our vaccination plan: [the] Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine makes up less than 5% of the recorded shots in arms in the United States to date.\"</p><p>The latest complication has further delayed a rocky rollout in the European Union, which ordered approximately 200 million doses of the J&amp;J vaccine in 2021.</p><p>On Wednesday, the EU ordered 50 million more COVID-19 vaccine doses from Pfizer-BioNTech. \"Those 50 million doses were initially foreseen for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2021. Now they are available in quarter 2,\" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement .</p><p>\"We have made the decision to proactively delay the rollout of our vaccine in Europe,\" J&amp;J said in a statement  Tuesday. The U.K. has ordered 30 million doses of the J&amp;J vaccine, although it has not yet been authorized for use there.</p><p>Now, for the bad news: \"Unfortunately, there is always going to be a halo effect in a negative way,\" Dr. Aaron Glatt, who chairs the department of medicine at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside, N.Y., told MarketWatch. \"What's happened with J&amp;J is forcing people to have questions with all vaccines.\"</p><p>The J&amp;J vaccine \"remains an extremely important vaccine for a fatal disease,\" he added. \"These types of things make vaccine-hesitant people more concerned.\"</p><p>\"Certainly, having other vaccines has been extremely helpful because there can always be manufacturing issues, or different strains may or may not be effective against a particular vaccine.  That's not intentional, it's just the way science works,\" Glatt said.</p><p>\"The boosters, if and when they do come, will be more easily approved,\" he added. \"We've done most of the legwork already.

Thursday in what the White House described as a first step to curb mass shootings, community bloodshed and suicides.\nThe new measures include plans for the Justice Department to crack down on self-assembled “ghost guns” and make “stabilising braces” - which effectively turn pistols into rifles – subject to registration under the National Firearms Act.\nBiden said he will ask the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to release an annual report on firearms trafficking in the United States, and make it easier for states to adopt “red flag” laws that aim to prevent individuals deemed to present a danger to themselves or others from owning guns.\nBiden also outlined more ambitious goals that he needs the support of Congress to accomplish, including reintroducing a ban on assault weapons, lifting an exemption on lawsuits against gun manufacturers, and passing a nationwide red flag law.\nEx-NFL player kills five people, then turns gun on himself\nA former professional football player shot and killed a prominent South Carolina doctor, his wife, two grandchildren and another man before taking his own life at his home a short distance away, authorities said on Thursday.\nPhillip Adams, 32, who left the National Football League more than five years ago, was found dead hours after the killings of five people on Wednesday at the home of Dr Robert Lesslie in suburban Rock Hill, South Carolina, York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson said.\nInvestigators were at a loss to offer a motive for the shooting spree that broke out in the quiet community about 48km south of Charlotte, North Carolina.\nAmazon unionisation drive losing by 2-1 margin in early vote results\nAmazon union vote count set to begin\nAn early tally on Thursday of votes in Amazon.com’s closely watched union election in Alabama showed workers voting against forming the first union in the United States by more than a 2-1 margin.\nOf the 3,215 ballots received, at least 600 votes were against unionising and more than 250 votes were for the Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse to form a union.\nThe National Labour Relations Board (NLRB), the agency overseeing the election, held a video call and set up multiple cameras so participants and media could watch its regulators count the votes.\nSony, Netflix agree deal to stream new Spider-Man, other films\nNetflix, Sony ink deal on streaming blockbusters\nStreaming service Netflix reached a deal to offer new Spider-Man movies and other films from Sony Pictures to US customers after they play in theatres, the companies said on Thursday.\nThe five-year arrangement will begin with the 2022 slate of movies, which is scheduled to include Marvel film Morbius, best-selling book adaptation Where The Crawdads Sing and Brad Pitt thriller Bullet Train.\nFuture releases are expected to include new installments in the Spider-Man, Venom, Jumanji and Bad Boys franchises.\nGolf: Defending Masters champion Johnson five back after poor finish\nA wild finish left Dustin Johnson five shots behind the leaders on Thursday as the defending Masters champion faced much fiercer conditions at Augusta National compared to the toothless layout he triumphed on five months ago.\nThis Masters has a much more familiar look as it is back in its traditional April slot as the year’s first major while fans were welcomed back, albeit in limited numbers and with protocols in place to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.\nJapan’s Hideki Matsuyama, bolstered by an eagle at the par-five eighth, and Brian Harman fired three-under-par 69s to share the first-round clubhouse lead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":32,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359033861,"gmtCreate":1616298695153,"gmtModify":1704792727252,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahah

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

This method means it won’t raise any new money, similar to approaches used by Palantir Technologies,Slack Technologies and Spotify Technology in recent years.\nHere’s what to know about the popular trading platform ahead of its public offering.\nWhat is Coinbase?\nThe Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.\nThere are two class of Coinbase shares. Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":384730484,"gmtCreate":1613686295348,"gmtModify":1704883633391,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well said","listText":"Well said","text":"Well said","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/384730484","repostId":"1112683598","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112683598","pubTimestamp":1613632838,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112683598?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-18 15:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Barclays reports 38% slide in net profit for 2020, resumes dividend payouts","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112683598","media":"cnbc","summary":"Barclays on Thursday reported a full-year profit of £1.53 billion ($2.11 billion) for 2020, down 38%","content":"<div>\n<p>Barclays on Thursday reported a full-year profit of £1.53 billion ($2.11 billion) for 2020, down 38% from 2019 but outstripping analyst expectations.\nThe British lender posted a fourth-quarter net ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/18/barclays-q4-2020-earnings.html?&qsearchterm=Barclays\">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;

Apple reveals the latest version of iOS, its iPhone software, and updates to the software that runs on Apple TV, iPads, Apple Watch and Macs, in an effort to lure the best developers to sink time and investment into building software for Apple's computers.The bigger question is whether Apple will announce new hardware products. Often, it saves its best launches for the fall, around when new iPhones come out. This year, it released new Mac computers and iPads in the spring. But, sometimes it reveals new computers that run on the latest software. This year, some rumors have suggested it may introduce new MacBook Pro laptops and possibly an update to the AirPods headphones.We'll have everything Apple announces in the live blog below.The event begins at 1 p.m. Eastern.Is the iPad a computer yet?I can’t tell you how many WWDCs I’ve sat through where Apple claimed it’s beefed up the multitasking capabilities of the iPad in order to make it function more like a regular laptop.And Apple did it again today. (See Kif’s early blog entry for more details.)But none of those updates matter if app developers don’t take advantage of these features. Historically, it’s been difficult for Apple to convince developers to take the iPad seriously as a computer replacement, which is why the tablets are still mostly used for consumption, not creation.It’s way better than it used to be. (In fact, I use my iPad more than I use my MacBook these days.) But there’s still a long way to go for the iPad to catch up to the MacBook.There’s an easier solution though: Just put a touchscreen on the MacBook. Please.--Steve KovachApple announces new iPad software called iPadOS 15 that lets you do more at onceiPadOS Source: AppleApple announced new iPad software called iPadOS 15.IPadOS 15 includes new ways to rearrange iPad apps, put widgets on the home screen and the App Library feature, formerly iPhone exclusive, that automatically organizes apps.Apple also introduced a new multitasking interface that makes it easier to put two apps side by side on the iPad screen.The Apple notes app has been updated to better interface with other apps. One feature, called Quick Notes, lets users jot notes using the Apple Pencil, a stylus.A new version of the Translate app for iPads allows users to speak and have the discussion translated on-screen in real time.Apple’s app for learning how to code, Swift Playgrounds, can now build full apps, which can be submitted to the App Store Apple said.— Kif LeswingApple’s AirPods headphones can now be used to improve hearingA new feature coming to AirPods called “Conversation Boost” helps people better understand who they’re talking to in real time in a busy environment. Users can also adjust ambient background noise levels to help improve audio. Siri will also soon read important notifications, if you want it to, instead of just incoming calls and messages. — Kif LeswingApple Maps gets big new update with more city details and 3D modelsApple is updating its maps software with new 3D data. It now includes turning lanes and other road conditions. It is expanding to Spain, Portugal, Italy and Australia later this year, Apple said.— Kif LeswingIf you thought Facebook was angry with Apple before today...The slew of new communication features Apple announced for iOS 15 on Monday are sure to have Mark Zuckerberg’s blood boiling over atFacebookheadquarters.In effect, these new features build a closed-off social network for Apple, letting you share Apple News stories, Apple Music tracks and even hold FaceTime video chats with non-iPhone users.Zuckerberg has already said he considers Apple a major competitor because of iMessage. Now Apple is building out even more social features natively into iOS. And, of course, Apple will be able to promote the privacy of these social features, unlike Facebook.--Steve KovachApple announces iOS 15, newest version of iPhone’s softwareApple’s senior vice president in charge of software, Craig Federighi, announced iOS 15, the latest version of the iPhone operating system. This software typically releases for most users alongside new iPhones in the fall, but developers and early adopters can start using it earlier, typically during the summer.iOS 15 includes:FaceTime improvements, including 3D audio, portrait mode to blur backgrounds, and a grid view to speak to multiple people at the same time. Apple will also allow users to send links to schedule individual FaceTime calls, like Zoom links. Users can also share their screens or music, through a new software feature called ShareTime.FaceTime calls are also now supported on Windows and Android through a browser, the first time that FaceTime has been supported across platforms.An iMessage redesign, which includes features that turns messaged photos into galleries.A new feature called “shared with you” saves links that people sent you and puts them in one place so users can address them later. It works with Apple Music, Safari, Apple Podcasts, Apple TV and Apple News. Users can pin important messages featuring content.Redesigned notifications, including a feature that collects users notifications into a custom summary of all the notifications the user may have missed. The notifications are ordered by priority, and notifications by people will not be included so they won’t be missed.Users who have turned on “do not disturb” or a new “focus” mode will have their status shared with other users, like an away message.Focus mode can hide any apps that you don’t want to distract you.Camera improvements, including a feature called Live Text that can automatically identify and scan text in photographs.Apple’s machine learning will also be able to identify elements in photos, such as location or whether there’s a pet in the scene. Apple’s system search, Spotlight, will search these elements.A feature called Memories will use machine learning to combine photos into relevant galleries or animations and sometimes add music from Apple Music.Apple is also updating expanding the Wallet app functionality to include corporate badges as well as keys to get into hotels and houses with smart homes.Apple is also going to support scanning U.S. IDs, such as drivers licenses, into their wallet. Apple says it is only supported in some states for now, and the TSA will accept the credential.Apple CEO Tim Cook kicks off WWDCAfter a short comedy video focusing on software developers, Apple CEO Tim Cook has kicked off the show from the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. He came out on stage to a virtual crowd of avatars.— Kif LeswingFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg needles Apple ahead of its conferenceFacebook CEOMark Zuckerberg needled Applehours before its WWDC conference was scheduled to kick off.In a short poston his Facebook page, Zuckerberg announced a new Facebook feature enabling users to tip social media personalities. He said Facebook isn’t charging until at least 2023, and when it does, it will take less than the 30% fee Apple charges iPhone apps using in-app purchases.“To help more creators make a living on our platforms, we’re going to keep paid online events, fan subscriptions, badges, and our upcoming independent news products free for creators until 2023. And when we do introduce a revenue share, it will be less than the 30% that Apple and others take,” Zuckerberg wrote.Apple’s developer conference this year takes place at an uncertain time in Apple developer relations. Apple needs computer software companies to make apps for its platforms, which in turn makes its products more attractive to users.WWDC is aimed at getting those software makers excited about Apple. But Epic Games, Facebook and other firms have complained that Apple’s App Store rules are too stringent and its 30% fee for digital purchases is too high.— Kif LeswingApple’s web store remains onlineApple has historically taken down its online store for a few hours during a big launch, signaling exciting new products being added and building hype. But on Monday, the store was still up 15 minutes before WWDC was scheduled to kick off, suggesting no new major products.— Kif LeswingApple should bring Mac features to iPads todayI hope to see Apple bring some of the software features from MacBooks to iPads today.Thelatest MacsandiPad Pros run on the same M1 processor, so there’s enough power on the high-end iPads for running apps in multiple windows, like you would on a traditional computer, and support for using an external display for any app.A report fromBloombergover the weekend suggested we’ll at least see improvements to iPad multitasking, so it seems like my wish is at least plausible.Apple has so far said it sees iPads and Macs as totally different devices with different use cases, so I don’t expect a complete merge of the operating systems.-- Todd HaseltonThe Apple-developer love fest is overIn normal times, WWDC is a love fest between Apple and the developers who keep itsmassively profitable App Store chugging along.But this year is going to be different. The disputes over App Store fees between Apple and big-name developers likeSpotifyhave spilled into the public view in recent months. That’s especially apparent with thelegal battle between Apple and Epic Games. The two companies went through a three-week trial last month, and the judge’s decision in the case could alter the power dynamics between Apple and app developers.In the past, developers remained quiet about their complaints with Apple’s App Store rules, lest they draw the ire of Tim Cook and company and risk their access to the App Store. But thanks to groups like theCoalition for App Fairnessand the overall anti-Big Tech sentiment in Western governments, developers now feel emboldened to make their complaints known.I’m most interested to see how Apple uses this year’s WWDC to highlight the benefits it can offer developers while still protecting one of its massive profit centers, the App Store.-- Steve Kovach","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135378445,"gmtCreate":1622137498187,"gmtModify":1704180190933,"author":{"id":"3574156765565189","authorId":"3574156765565189","name":"Foros","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4aab8cbc5838ac3992a3d449f933303e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574156765565189","idStr":"3574156765565189"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135378445","repostId":"1119259925","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119259925","pubTimestamp":1622129097,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119259925?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-27 23:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fare Bargains Vanish as Airlines Seize on Surging Summer Demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119259925","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- The days of bargain basement airfares are ending as the U.S. vaccine supply unleashes","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- The days of bargain basement airfares are ending as the U.S. vaccine supply unleashes a wave of pent-up travel demand.</p><p>A rebound in trips to visit friends and family coupled with flight schedules that remain below 2019 levels means more flyers chasing fewer seats.

Industry executives see a recovery in Asian travel as even further behind. To adjust, airlines are shifting some of their largest twin-aisle aircraft to domestic routes that were served largely by smaller planes before the pandemic.</p><p>The three largest U.S. airlines have increased wide-body flights in the U.S. by 30% this year through August, with numbers peaking in June and July, from 2019 levels, according to data from Cirium. American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) Group Inc., for example, is using big Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co. 777 jets on flights connecting Miami with Los Angeles and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.</p><p>There’s still a ways to go before pricing fully catches up with the levels of 2019, a record year for air travel. Domestic leisure fares so far this quarter are roughly 18% below the same period two years ago, according to data compiled for Bloomberg News by Menlo Park, California-based TripActions.</p><p>Relative to 2019 levels, ticket prices can vary widely by route. The median price for a round-trip ticket from Minneapolis to Orlando, home of Disney and Universal theme parks, is $304.68 this quarter, down 28% from two years ago, according to TripActions. Los Angeles to Orlando is 12% lower. But New York to Miami fares are 39% higher, at $487.</p><p><b>Improved Outlook</b></p><p>The improving outlook for pricing power has helped spur a rally in a Standard &amp; Poor’s index of major U.S. airlines, which has advanced 30% this year. The index rose to a six-week high Wednesday after recent signs that the recovery was strengthening.</p><p>Booked fares on June flights are nearing the same level as two years ago, Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) Co. said May 19, spurred partially by the carrier’s plan to fly only 84% of its 2019-level capacity in the second quarter.</p><p>Likewise, while United is touting July as its busiest flight schedule since March 2020, the month’s flying will still be about 20% below the level of two years ago. United is flying 126 new routes in July it didn’t have two years ago, a sign of what the airline and its competitors have done to revamp their networks and pursue leisure traffic destinations near and far.</p><p>Delta’s bookings have been better than expected recently as customers resume booking trips further in advance, said Glen Hauenstein, the company’s president. Forward bookings are above 2019 levels for leisure travel, he told a Wolfe Research conference May 25.</p><p>“July is better than June and August is better than July,” Hauenstein said. “September is better than August.”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fare Bargains Vanish as Airlines Seize on Surging Summer Demand</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\">\nFare Bargains Vanish as Airlines Seize on Surging Summer Demand\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-27 23:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/fare-bargains-vanish-as-airlines-seize-on-surging-summer-demand-2517139><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(Bloomberg) -- The days of bargain basement airfares are ending as the U.S. vaccine supply unleashes a wave of pent-up travel demand.A rebound in trips to visit friends and family coupled with flight ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/fare-bargains-vanish-as-airlines-seize-on-surging-summer-demand-2517139\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/fare-bargains-vanish-as-airlines-seize-on-surging-summer-demand-2517139","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1119259925","content_text":"(Bloomberg) -- The days of bargain basement airfares are ending as the U.S. vaccine supply unleashes a wave of pent-up travel demand.A rebound in trips to visit friends and family coupled with flight schedules that remain below 2019 levels means more flyers chasing fewer seats.

To adjust, airlines are shifting some of their largest twin-aisle aircraft to domestic routes that were served largely by smaller planes before the pandemic.The three largest U.S. airlines have increased wide-body flights in the U.S. by 30% this year through August, with numbers peaking in June and July, from 2019 levels, according to data from Cirium. American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) Group Inc., for example, is using big Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co. 777 jets on flights connecting Miami with Los Angeles and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.There’s still a ways to go before pricing fully catches up with the levels of 2019, a record year for air travel. Domestic leisure fares so far this quarter are roughly 18% below the same period two years ago, according to data compiled for Bloomberg News by Menlo Park, California-based TripActions.Relative to 2019 levels, ticket prices can vary widely by route. The median price for a round-trip ticket from Minneapolis to Orlando, home of Disney and Universal theme parks, is $304.68 this quarter, down 28% from two years ago, according to TripActions. Los Angeles to Orlando is 12% lower. But New York to Miami fares are 39% higher, at $487.Improved OutlookThe improving outlook for pricing power has helped spur a rally in a Standard & Poor’s index of major U.S. airlines, which has advanced 30% this year. The index rose to a six-week high Wednesday after recent signs that the recovery was strengthening.Booked fares on June flights are nearing the same level as two years ago, Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) Co. said May 19, spurred partially by the carrier’s plan to fly only 84% of its 2019-level capacity in the second quarter.Likewise, while United is touting July as its busiest flight schedule since March 2020, the month’s flying will still be about 20% below the level of two years ago. United is flying 126 new routes in July it didn’t have two years ago, a sign of what the airline and its competitors have done to revamp their networks and pursue leisure traffic destinations near and far.Delta’s bookings have been better than expected recently as customers resume booking trips further in advance, said Glen Hauenstein, the company’s president. Forward bookings are above 2019 levels for leisure travel, he told a Wolfe Research conference May 25.“July is better than June and August is better than July,” Hauenstein said. “September is better than August.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
