(It's yielding 1.32% on Monday.)</p>\n<p>As a result, many income-seeking investors have migrated from bonds, considered the safest income investments, to the stock market. But the income from a diversified stock portfolio might not be high enough.</p>\n<p>There is a way to increase that income, even while lowering your risk.</p>\n<p>Below is a description of an income strategy for stocks that you might not be aware of -- covered call options -- along with examples from Kevin Simpson, the founder of Capital Wealth Planning in Naples, Fla., which manages the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF.</p>\n<p>This exchange traded fund is rated five stars (the highest) by Morningstar. We will also look at other ETFs that use covered call options in a different way, but with income as the main objective.</p>\n<p><b>Covered call options</b></p>\n<p>A call option is a contract that allows an investor to buy a security at a particular price (called the strike price) until the option expires. A put option is the opposite, allowing the purchaser to sell a security at a specified price until the option expires.</p>\n<p>A covered call option is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that you write when you already own a security. The strategy is used by stock investors to increase income and provide some downside protection.</p>\n<p>Here's a current example of a covered call option in the DIVO portfolio, described by Simpson during an interview.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 23, the ETF wrote a one-month call for ConocoPhillips <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COP\">$(COP)$</a>. At that time, the stock was trading at about $55 a share. The call has a strike price of $57.50.</p>\n<p>\"We collected between 70 cents and 75 cents a share\" on that option, Simpson said. So if we go on the low side, 70 cents a share, we have a return of 1.27% for only one month. That is not an annualized figure -- it shows how much income can be made from the covered-call strategy if it is employed over and over again.</p>\n<p>If shares of ConocoPhillips rise above $57.50, they will likely be called away -- Simpson and DIVO will be forced to sell the shares at that price. If that happens, they may regret parting with a stock they like. But along with the 70 cents a share for the option, they will also have enjoyed a 4.6% gain from the share price at the time they wrote the option. And if the option expires without being exercised, they are free to write another option and earn more income.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ConocoPhillips has a dividend yield of more than 3%, which itself is attractive compared with Treasury yields.</p>\n<p>Still, there is risk. If ConocoPhillips were to double to $110 before the option expired, DIVO would still have to sell it for $57.50. All that upside would be left on the table. That's the price you pay for the income provided by this strategy.</p>\n<p>Simpson also provided two previous examples of stocks for which he wrote covered calls:</p>\n<p></p>\n<ul>\n <li>DIVO bought shares of Nike Inc.&nbsp;for between $87 and $88 a share in May 2020 after the stock’s pullback and then then booked $4.50 a share in revenue by writing repeated covered call options for the stock through December. Simpson eventually sold the stock in August after booking another $5 a share in option premiums.</li>\n <li>DIVO earned $6.30 a share in covered-call premiums on shares of Caterpillar Inc.,which were called away “in late February around $215-$220,” Simpson said. After that, the stock rallied to $245 in June, showing some lost upside. Caterpillar’s stock has now pulled back to about $206.</li>\n</ul>\n<p></p>\n<p>Simpson's strategy for DIVO is to hold a portfolio of about 25 to 30 blue chip stocks (all of which pay dividends) and only write a small number of options at any time, based on market conditions. It is primarily a long-term growth strategy, with the income enhancement from the covered call options.</p>\n<p>The fund currently has five covered-call positions, including ConocoPhillips. DIVO's main objective is growth, but it has a monthly distribution that includes dividends, option income and at times a return of capital. The fund's quoted 30-day SEC yield is only 1.43%, but that only includes the dividend portion of the distribution. The distribution yield, which is what investors actually receive, is 5.03%.</p>\n<p>You can see the fund's top holdings here on the MarketWatch quote page. Here is a new guide to the quote page, which includes a wealth of information.</p>\n<p><b>DIVO's performance</b></p>\n<p>Morningstar's five-star rating for DIVO is based on the ETF's performance within the investment research firm's \"U.S. Fund Derivative Income\" peer group. A comparison of the ETF's total return with that of the S&amp;P 500 Index can be expected to show lower performance over the long term, in keeping with the income focus and the giving-up of some upside potential for stocks that are called away as part of the covered-call strategy.</p>\n<p>DIVO was established on Dec. 14, 2016. Here's a comparison of returns on an NAV basis (with dividends reinvested, even though the fund might be best for investors who need income) for the fund and its Morningstar category, along with returns for the S&amp;P 500 calculated by FactSet:</p>\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb145b96939e4cf80e8839c8c4771db\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"343\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><b>Return of capital</b></p>\n<p>A return of capital may be included as part of a distribution by an ETF, closed-end fund, real-estate investment trust, business development company or other investment vehicle. This distribution isn't taxed because it is already the investor's money. A fund may return some capital to maintain a dividend temporarily, or it may return capital instead of making a different sort of taxable distribution.</p>\n<p>In a previous interview, Amplify ETFs CEO Christian Magoon distinguished between \"accretive and destructive\" returns of capital. Accretive means the fund's net asset value (the sum of its assets divided by the number of shares) continues to increase, despite a return of capital, while destructive means the NAV is declining, which makes for a poor investment over time if it continues.</p>\n<p><b>Covered calls on entire indexes</b></p>\n<p>There are ETFs that take the covered-call option strategy to more of an extreme, by writing options against an entire stock index. An example is the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFFE\">Global X</a> Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QYLD\">$(QYLD)$</a>, which holds the stocks that make up the Nasdaq-100 Index , in the same proportions as the index, while continually writing covered-call options against the entire index. QYLD has a four-star rating from Morningstar.</p>\n<p>The ETF pays monthly; its trailing 12-month distribution yield has been 12.47% and its distribution yields have consistently been above 11% since it was established in December 2013.</p>\n<p>That is quite a bit of income.

(It's yielding 1.32% on Monday.)\nAs a result, many income-seeking investors have migrated from bonds, considered the safest income investments, to the stock market. But the income from a diversified stock portfolio might not be high enough.\nThere is a way to increase that income, even while lowering your risk.\nBelow is a description of an income strategy for stocks that you might not be aware of -- covered call options -- along with examples from Kevin Simpson, the founder of Capital Wealth Planning in Naples, Fla., which manages the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF.\nThis exchange traded fund is rated five stars (the highest) by Morningstar. We will also look at other ETFs that use covered call options in a different way, but with income as the main objective.\nCovered call options\nA call option is a contract that allows an investor to buy a security at a particular price (called the strike price) until the option expires. A put option is the opposite, allowing the purchaser to sell a security at a specified price until the option expires.\nA covered call option is one that you write when you already own a security. The strategy is used by stock investors to increase income and provide some downside protection.\nHere's a current example of a covered call option in the DIVO portfolio, described by Simpson during an interview.\nOn Aug. 23, the ETF wrote a one-month call for ConocoPhillips $(COP)$. At that time, the stock was trading at about $55 a share. The call has a strike price of $57.50.\n\"We collected between 70 cents and 75 cents a share\" on that option, Simpson said. So if we go on the low side, 70 cents a share, we have a return of 1.27% for only one month. That is not an annualized figure -- it shows how much income can be made from the covered-call strategy if it is employed over and over again.\nIf shares of ConocoPhillips rise above $57.50, they will likely be called away -- Simpson and DIVO will be forced to sell the shares at that price. If that happens, they may regret parting with a stock they like. But along with the 70 cents a share for the option, they will also have enjoyed a 4.6% gain from the share price at the time they wrote the option. And if the option expires without being exercised, they are free to write another option and earn more income.\nMeanwhile, ConocoPhillips has a dividend yield of more than 3%, which itself is attractive compared with Treasury yields.\nStill, there is risk. If ConocoPhillips were to double to $110 before the option expired, DIVO would still have to sell it for $57.50. All that upside would be left on the table. That's the price you pay for the income provided by this strategy.\nSimpson also provided two previous examples of stocks for which he wrote covered calls:\n\n\nDIVO bought shares of Nike Inc. for between $87 and $88 a share in May 2020 after the stock’s pullback and then then booked $4.50 a share in revenue by writing repeated covered call options for the stock through December. Simpson eventually sold the stock in August after booking another $5 a share in option premiums.\nDIVO earned $6.30 a share in covered-call premiums on shares of Caterpillar Inc.,which were called away “in late February around $215-$220,” Simpson said. After that, the stock rallied to $245 in June, showing some lost upside. Caterpillar’s stock has now pulled back to about $206.\n\n\nSimpson's strategy for DIVO is to hold a portfolio of about 25 to 30 blue chip stocks (all of which pay dividends) and only write a small number of options at any time, based on market conditions. It is primarily a long-term growth strategy, with the income enhancement from the covered call options.\nThe fund currently has five covered-call positions, including ConocoPhillips. DIVO's main objective is growth, but it has a monthly distribution that includes dividends, option income and at times a return of capital. The fund's quoted 30-day SEC yield is only 1.43%, but that only includes the dividend portion of the distribution. The distribution yield, which is what investors actually receive, is 5.03%.\nYou can see the fund's top holdings here on the MarketWatch quote page. Here is a new guide to the quote page, which includes a wealth of information.\nDIVO's performance\nMorningstar's five-star rating for DIVO is based on the ETF's performance within the investment research firm's \"U.S. Fund Derivative Income\" peer group. A comparison of the ETF's total return with that of the S&P 500 Index can be expected to show lower performance over the long term, in keeping with the income focus and the giving-up of some upside potential for stocks that are called away as part of the covered-call strategy.\nDIVO was established on Dec. 14, 2016. Here's a comparison of returns on an NAV basis (with dividends reinvested, even though the fund might be best for investors who need income) for the fund and its Morningstar category, along with returns for the S&P 500 calculated by FactSet:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn of capital\nA return of capital may be included as part of a distribution by an ETF, closed-end fund, real-estate investment trust, business development company or other investment vehicle. This distribution isn't taxed because it is already the investor's money. A fund may return some capital to maintain a dividend temporarily, or it may return capital instead of making a different sort of taxable distribution.\nIn a previous interview, Amplify ETFs CEO Christian Magoon distinguished between \"accretive and destructive\" returns of capital. Accretive means the fund's net asset value (the sum of its assets divided by the number of shares) continues to increase, despite a return of capital, while destructive means the NAV is declining, which makes for a poor investment over time if it continues.\nCovered calls on entire indexes\nThere are ETFs that take the covered-call option strategy to more of an extreme, by writing options against an entire stock index. An example is the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF $(QYLD)$, which holds the stocks that make up the Nasdaq-100 Index , in the same proportions as the index, while continually writing covered-call options against the entire index. QYLD has a four-star rating from Morningstar.\nThe ETF pays monthly; its trailing 12-month distribution yield has been 12.47% and its distribution yields have consistently been above 11% since it was established in December 2013.\nThat is quite a bit of income. However, QYLD also underlines of the importance of understanding that a \"pure\" covered-call strategy on an entire stock index is really an income strategy.\nHere's a comparison of returns for the fund and the Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq-100, from the end of 2019, encompassing the entire COVID-19 pandemic and its affect on the stock market:\nFactSet\nQYLD took a sharp dive during February 2020, as did QQQ. But you can see that QQQ recovered more quickly and then soared. QYLD continued paying its high distributions all through the pandemic crisis, but it couldn't capture most of QQQ's additional upside. It isn't designed to do it.\nGlobal X has two other funds following covered-call strategies for entire indexes for income:\n\n\nThe Global X S&P 500 Covered Call ETF\nThe Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF\n\n\nCovered-call strategies can work particularly well for stocks that have attractive dividend yields, and some investment advisers employ the strategy for individual investors. The ETFs provide an easier way of following the strategy. DIVO uses covered calls for a growth and income strategy, while the three listed Global X funds are more income-oriented.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":486,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886733425,"gmtCreate":1631624658667,"gmtModify":1676530592578,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy buy","listText":"buy buy","text":"buy buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/886733425","repostId":"2167555852","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167555852","pubTimestamp":1631623774,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2167555852?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-14 20:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The 1 FAANG Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167555852","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This technology company has grown steadily over the years and holds the promise for more amazing discoveries in the future.","content":"<p>Investors are probably familiar with FAANG stocks by now, seeing how these five companies -- <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b>, <b>Amazon</b>, <b>Apple</b>, <b>Netflix</b>, and <b>Alphabet </b>(NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) -- have powered the <b>Nasdaq</b> index to all-time highs in the last decade. The prominence of these five technology companies cannot be overstated, and even during the pandemic, the FAANG fivesome has been responsible for pushing the technology index to a new all-time high.</p>\n<p>But if there's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> stock among the five that you should be thinking of buying today, it's Alphabet. Originally known as Google, or the \"G\" in the FAANG acronym, the company changed its name in 2015 to signify that it is far from a conventional business. Although Google is still a core part of Alphabet, the company is made up of a collection of disparate businesses that explore different technologies and industries.</p>\n<p>The above, as well as the fact that Alphabet is churning out superb numbers, are good reasons why you should not hesitate to scoop up shares of this internet giant.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84179534e131c393845805fc8c38a4ed\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A growing cash machine</h2>\n<p>Alphabet's financial performance is impressive, which explains why the stock has nearly doubled in the past year alone. Revenue started at $90.3 billion in 2016 and more than doubled to $182.5 billion by 2020, while net income jumped from $19.5 billion to $40.3 billion over the same period. Moreover, capital spending has remained fairly constant even as operating cash flow increased, leading to higher levels of free cash flow for the business over the last several years.</p>\n<p>The company has shown that it can still grow rapidly, with its fiscal 2021 second-quarter revenue surging by 62% year over year. Increased technology adoption and digitalization were important factors that contributed to the rise, but Alphabet was already on a steady growth trajectory even before the pandemic broke out. Net income for the quarter more than doubled year over year to $18.5 billion, and the company's half-year net income of $36.5 billion has already exceeded the net income for the whole of 2019.</p>\n<h2>A culture of continuous improvement</h2>\n<p>The great thing about Alphabet is not only its financial numbers, but how the company strives to better the lives of all of us in myriad ways. The pandemic has highlighted just how innovative the company has been, as teams at Google launched more than 200 new products and features. A COVID-19 layer was also added to Google Maps to show information on cases to help people to plan their travel routes, and Google Meet, the company's videoconferencing software, was made free for anyone with a Gmail account.</p>\n<p>CEO Sundar Pichai offered a glimpse into new products and systems on the company's latest earnings conference call. A new artificial intelligence system called Lambda, with natural conversation capabilities, can help to make communication and computing more accessible to everyone. The upcoming version 12 of Android seeks to improve speed and power efficiency and can also personalize devices. while YouTube Shorts, a short-form video format similar to the popular TikTok, has been rolled out in more than 100 countries worldwide and has garnered more than 15 billion daily views.</p>\n<p>Alphabet is also investing $10 billion over the next five years to strengthen cybersecurity, as this is now a critical area of focus for many companies and governments. And let's not forget that the technology behemoth also has an \"Other Bets\" division that makes ambitious investments in new technology such as self-driving cars and healthcare data analytics.</p>\n<p>That's just a quick snapshot of Alphabet's biggest headlines in recent weeks. It would take a book to cover everything.</p>\n<h2>The allure of moonshots</h2>\n<p>At the heart of Alphabet's culture are \"moonshots,\" which help the business to branch out into adjacent or new technologies and nurture them into mature, thriving businesses. Essentially, the company is not interested in making just incremental changes to its products and services but is focused on looking for revolutionary change that can bring technology to a new level.</p>\n<p>As such, the company will not shy away from high-risk projects and encourages a culture of innovation that could see it discovering groundbreaking new technologies that could power the future. This, in essence, is what makes the future so exciting for an investor in Alphabet.</p>\n<h2>A long growth runway</h2>\n<p>The great news is that the company still has a long growth runway in front of it. Digital advertisement spending, for which Google's share was close to 29% of the U.S. market last year, grew 12.2% year over year in 2020 and shows signs of additional expansion.</p>\n<p>Alphabet continues to invest in new technologies and is also constantly improving its cloud services, search engine, and other features. With the pandemic as a tailwind for technology adoption, investors should feel confident that the company can continue to deliver. The stock is inexpensive, trading at just 26 times forward earnings, as it can probably chalk up consistent growth in revenue and net income for many more years.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The 1 FAANG Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)</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\">\nThe 1 FAANG Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-14 20:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/14/1-faang-stock-to-buy-hand-over-fist-in-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors are probably familiar with FAANG stocks by now, seeing how these five companies -- Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) -- have powered the Nasdaq ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/14/1-faang-stock-to-buy-hand-over-fist-in-2021/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOGL":"谷歌A","GOOG":"谷歌"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/14/1-faang-stock-to-buy-hand-over-fist-in-2021/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2167555852","content_text":"Investors are probably familiar with FAANG stocks by now, seeing how these five companies -- Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) -- have powered the Nasdaq index to all-time highs in the last decade.

A COVID-19 layer was also added to Google Maps to show information on cases to help people to plan their travel routes, and Google Meet, the company's videoconferencing software, was made free for anyone with a Gmail account.\nCEO Sundar Pichai offered a glimpse into new products and systems on the company's latest earnings conference call. A new artificial intelligence system called Lambda, with natural conversation capabilities, can help to make communication and computing more accessible to everyone. The upcoming version 12 of Android seeks to improve speed and power efficiency and can also personalize devices. while YouTube Shorts, a short-form video format similar to the popular TikTok, has been rolled out in more than 100 countries worldwide and has garnered more than 15 billion daily views.\nAlphabet is also investing $10 billion over the next five years to strengthen cybersecurity, as this is now a critical area of focus for many companies and governments. And let's not forget that the technology behemoth also has an \"Other Bets\" division that makes ambitious investments in new technology such as self-driving cars and healthcare data analytics.\nThat's just a quick snapshot of Alphabet's biggest headlines in recent weeks. It would take a book to cover everything.\nThe allure of moonshots\nAt the heart of Alphabet's culture are \"moonshots,\" which help the business to branch out into adjacent or new technologies and nurture them into mature, thriving businesses. Essentially, the company is not interested in making just incremental changes to its products and services but is focused on looking for revolutionary change that can bring technology to a new level.\nAs such, the company will not shy away from high-risk projects and encourages a culture of innovation that could see it discovering groundbreaking new technologies that could power the future. This, in essence, is what makes the future so exciting for an investor in Alphabet.\nA long growth runway\nThe great news is that the company still has a long growth runway in front of it. Digital advertisement spending, for which Google's share was close to 29% of the U.S. market last year, grew 12.2% year over year in 2020 and shows signs of additional expansion.\nAlphabet continues to invest in new technologies and is also constantly improving its cloud services, search engine, and other features. With the pandemic as a tailwind for technology adoption, investors should feel confident that the company can continue to deliver. The stock is inexpensive, trading at just 26 times forward earnings, as it can probably chalk up consistent growth in revenue and net income for many more years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":388,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":155660393,"gmtCreate":1625412754412,"gmtModify":1703741454992,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not true","listText":"Not true","text":"Not true","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/155660393","repostId":"1188153141","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188153141","pubTimestamp":1625276221,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188153141?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-03 09:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Suze Orman worries about a market crash — here's what you should do","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188153141","media":"MoneyWise","summary":"As stock markets continue setting records, fallout from COVID-19 continues to create problems for th","content":"<p>As stock markets continue setting records, fallout from COVID-19 continues to create problems for the economy.</p>\n<p>That clash has worried investing experts, including Suze Orman, who's gone so far as to say she’s now preparing for an inevitable market crash.</p>\n<p>And a famous measurement popularized by Warren Buffett — known as the Buffett Indicator — shows Orman might be onto something.</p>\n<p>Here’s an explanation of where the concern is coming from and some techniques you can use tokeep your investment portfolio growingeven if the market goes south.</p>\n<p><b>What does Suze Orman think?</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be8dc3ad363faad96bc575a22235562d\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Mediapunch/Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Suze Orman has avidly watched the market for decades.

In addition, to rallying from its price prior to the announcement ($274.88) to $442.68 (the closing price before the split), it tacked on another $50 on the day following the split.Many shorts were convinced the split put in the all-time high and were rewarded when the issue cratered to $329.86 in the next five sessions. However, there was another powerful catalyst waiting in wings.On Nov. 30, when the issue was hovering at the $400 area, it was announced the company was going to be added to the S&P 500 as of Dec. 21. In an all-out assault on indexers that would need to purchase shares by that date, frontrunners were out in full force.Over the next few weeks, the issue rallied from its Nov. 16 close ($408.09) and wasn't added to the index until the staggering price of $695. No change in the fundamentals of the company, but a 70% rally nonetheless.Once again, shorts were again convinced that the top was in and were rewarded in the short-term when Tesla swooned to $614.23 only two days later. However, when it cleared that high in the first trading session of 2021, panic buying boosted the issue to $884.49 just five sessions later.The ultimate high wasn't made until Jan. 25 at $900.40.When adding the price increase in Tesla from only two of those events, the split ($225), the S&P 500 add ($287) for a total of $512. When discounting that from its all-time, many consider the fair value of Tesla to be $388 instead of its current price around $560.The Moment Of Truth Has Arrived: Whatever you think of the above math and logic behind it, there is one thing for certain: the issue has retreated 38% from its all-time high and has reached a critical support level.This is simple math from a technical standpoint. Ahead of the January ramp, the issue bottomed in December at $541.21. Panic selling in March took the issue to $539.49 and Wednesday’s low stands at $546.98.One does not have to be a Chartered Technical Analyst to know that if the trio of lows at the $540 level is breached, it's going to get real ugly and in a hurry.

Over the past two-plus decades, the company has grown at a rapid pace into an ecommerce juggernaut that is a fixture in the Chinese consumer economy, and burgeoning tech investments that include fintech, cloud computing, media, and other AI-powered ventures. Is the stock a buy, hold, or sell right now? Let's take a closer look at the business to find out.</p><p><b>Strong Moat-Powered Growth</b></p><p>BABA continues to post strong growth numbers as its competitive advantages continue to grow stronger.</p><p>The company grew revenues in its most recent quarter by an incredible 64% year-over-year (40% organic growth) and posted strong guidance for FY2022. Furthermore, BABA appears poised to generate mid-to-high teens revenue growth over the next several years as its growth is broad-based and being driven by several organic factors including user growth (which is especially important as this strengthens their network effect moat), increased spending per customer (making their existing network more valuable), and rising online consumption in BABA's markets (which is good news for BABA since it owns a very strong digital presence).</p><p>The reason we are confident that BABA will continue to capture a growing share of China's rising middle class and e-commerce habits is that the company's internet services already touch the vast majority of online users in China. Given that BABA's marketplace is already so large, it essentially forces merchants and buyers into their ecosystem if they wish to succeed, which in turn gives BABA significant pricing power. Additionally, with so much exposure to China's online habits, BABA has an enormous data advantage over its competition which, in an age where A.I.-powered advertising algorithms are increasingly determining winners and losers in online commerce, gives it a decisive edge.</p><p>Looking longer term, BABA's determination to expand as a major player outside of China will likely give it enormous additional avenues of growth where it should be fairly well-positioned to compete as it uses its massive data bank from the Chinese market to give it a running start in foreign markets. That said, cultural and shopping tastes do differ across the globe, so BABA will still have to adapt and learn new approaches to gain market share in foreign markets, making these growth ambitions a bit more uncertain than their existing China business. One of the ways that China has tried to get around this hurdle is by acquiring stakes in foreign ecommerce businesses and then using their in-house expertise to improve the business in that market. An example of this is their controlling stake in Lazada, which operates in Southeast Asian economies like Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.</p><p>BABA also owns its own logistics business, enabling it to exercise greater control over its product supply chain and improve margins while its cloud business - AliCloud - is another strong growth and free cash flow generating business that will grow as China's economy becomes increasingly digitized as part of the Chinese Government's strong drive to make the country A.I. focused.</p><p><b>Fortress Balance Sheet</b></p><p>BABA also boasts a stellar balance sheet, as indicated by its A+ credit rating from S&amp;P. The company's latest quarterly filing indicated that cash and short term investments on the balance sheet had swelled to an incredible $73.8 billion. With long-term debt of just $20.7 billion, BABA has an incredibly conservative balance sheet. Their EBITDA/Interest coverage ratio is also very strong at 30x.</p><p>With so much cash on hand, strong access to capital via their A+ credit rating and a wide-moat business model, BABA is in a great position to buy back shares and/or invest aggressively to further grow and strengthen the business and position itself for long-term success.</p><p><b>Dirt-Cheap Valuation</b></p><p>Despite its incredible business and balance sheet strength, interest rates being near all-time lows, and stock indexes near all-time highs, BABA is trading at a remarkable discount, down significantly from all-time highs reached last fall:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8cd485d2f524e7c71bc003e17766a97\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The stock looks even cheaper when viewed on a price-to-earnings basis:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/041a92e68b2c8590a128a1db61abd0f0\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>By way of comparison, BABA's nearest peer in the U.S. would be considered Amazon (AMZN) and it trades at 61.33 times earnings, which many consider to be reasonable, if not cheap:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeccbb1c56ff9c290c09f8f5e53e360b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>As a result, BABA is only trading at 40% of AMZN's valuation despite possessing a business model that is comparable in strength and operating in an economy that is growing at a much faster rate than AMZN is.</p><p>Furthermore, BABA's forward price-to-earnings ratio is much cheaper at a mere 19.5. Even that might be understating how cheap they truly are, however, as their massive cash pile could easily be deployed to buy back shares and/or invest in new cash flowing businesses that would drive the P/E ratio even lower.</p><p>Clearly, we aren't alone in our thinking that BABA looks dirt cheap: Charlie Munger's Daily Journal&nbsp;recently added&nbsp;it to their high-conviction portfolio. Not only that, but they clearly have enormous conviction in the company as it takes up nearly 20% of their portfolio, making it their third-largest holding.</p><p><b>Significant Risks</b></p><p>That said, while Mr. Market does grossly misprice stocks all the time, he is not stupid and always has a good reason for discounting the stocks that he does even if he ends up being proven wrong. In the case of BABA, these reasons include:</p><ul><li>BABA is not unchallenged in its Chinese e-commerce growth. Rising challenges from major competitors like JD.com (JD) and Pinduoduo (PDD) already rival BABA's marketplace in many respects. For example, PDD's active buyers in 2020 exceeded BABA's by 9 million, implying that - at least by some metrics - BABA's network advantage is not unassailable.</li><li>Founder Jack Ma has&nbsp;recently run afoul&nbsp;of the Chinese Communist Party due to some less-than supportive comments about its regulatory practices. In addition to the negative press, his financial interests have also paid the price, beginning with Ant Financial's IPO gettingcancelled by regulatorsand the company as a whole getting examined for it leveraging its enormous size and data advantage to engage in anti-competitive practices. The CCP appears bent on making an example of Jack Ma and, while&nbsp;recently announced&nbsp;anti-trust penalties of $2.75 billion are a mere slap on the wrist when compared with BABA's massive business size and cash pile, it may not be the end of the government's meddling with BABA.</li></ul><ul><li>Adding on to this, as the 2017 documentary film&nbsp;<i>The China Hustle</i>&nbsp;pointed out, Chinese balance sheets are not subject to the same scrutiny and audit measures as U.S. companies. As a result, it is possible that BABA is overstating its cash pile and/or its growth numbers. While we know enough to be assured of the fact that BABA is indeed an ecommerce and tech giant in China and not a fake company like many of those portrayed in the aforementioned film, it is still quite possible that BABA is not as cheap as it appears on paper. As fellow Seeking Alpha contributor Julian Lin pointed out in his&nbsp;insightful piece:</li></ul><blockquote><i>The stock is obviously undervalued. Yet does the company itself think so? Typically when a stock is so undervalued, the company would aggressively repurchase its own stock, especially when it generates as much free cash flow as BABA does. Yet BABA has not meaningfully repurchased shares ... The lack of action should not be ignored ... BABA management might not think its stock is undervalued, which would arguably be a red flag considering the stock is so obviously undervalued to the rest of Wall Street.</i></blockquote><ul><li>Last, but not least, China is facing an&nbsp;impending demographic crisis: its decades-long and recently abandoned \"One Child\" policy has now pushed its population into what appears to be decline along with a lopsided shifting of the population to where the working age Chinese face an unsustainable burden of supporting elderly retired people. The full impacts of this are unknown, but they do not bode well for the medium-to-long-term of the Chinese economy, nor for political stability in the country.</li></ul><p><b>Investor Takeaway</b></p><p>With all that said, BABA seems to be a very confusing stock: on one hand, it appears to be a slam dunk strong buy with all the blocks checked: wide moat and well-diversified business model, strong growth momentum and lengthy growth runway, fortress balance sheet, very attractive valuation, and the endorsement of one of history's greatest investors in Charlie Munger.</p><p>On the other hand, Chinese regulators' hands are all over this company right now and we are unsure if there are any more major blows headed BABA's way. Furthermore, its founder has fallen from grace in Chinese society just as e-commerce competition is increasing in the country. Meanwhile, management is not exactly voicing significant confidence in the stock by failing to buy back meaningful sums of shares and geopolitical risks from China's emerging demographic crisis and increasingly bellicose rhetoric and collision course with the U.S. and its Asia-Pacific allies only heighten the investment risks here.</p><p>As a result, we view the stock as a speculative buy as Charlie Munger's investment here helps to allay some of our concerns. That said, we feel uncomfortable holding the stock ourselves given that the risks are of a nature that we cannot justify or fully quantify. For investors who do feel comfortable with them, there is a high probability that BABA presents very attractive risk-adjusted return potential here and, barring a major war or economic crisis in China emerging in the near future, should deliver strong returns relative to the broader U.S. stock indexes as current prices.</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>Alibaba: Is The Reward Worth The Risk?</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\">\nAlibaba: Is The Reward Worth The Risk?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-18 15:09 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryBABA is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.The business continues to post strong growth numbers and looks deeply undervalued.That said, the company has been plagued by negative...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1165590108","content_text":"SummaryBABA is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.The business continues to post strong growth numbers and looks deeply undervalued.That said, the company has been plagued by negative headlines.Is the stock a buy, hold, or sell right now?Photo by David Becker/Getty Images News via Getty ImagesAlibaba (BABA) is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.

The full impacts of this are unknown, but they do not bode well for the medium-to-long-term of the Chinese economy, nor for political stability in the country.Investor TakeawayWith all that said, BABA seems to be a very confusing stock: on one hand, it appears to be a slam dunk strong buy with all the blocks checked: wide moat and well-diversified business model, strong growth momentum and lengthy growth runway, fortress balance sheet, very attractive valuation, and the endorsement of one of history's greatest investors in Charlie Munger.On the other hand, Chinese regulators' hands are all over this company right now and we are unsure if there are any more major blows headed BABA's way. Furthermore, its founder has fallen from grace in Chinese society just as e-commerce competition is increasing in the country. Meanwhile, management is not exactly voicing significant confidence in the stock by failing to buy back meaningful sums of shares and geopolitical risks from China's emerging demographic crisis and increasingly bellicose rhetoric and collision course with the U.S. and its Asia-Pacific allies only heighten the investment risks here.As a result, we view the stock as a speculative buy as Charlie Munger's investment here helps to allay some of our concerns. That said, we feel uncomfortable holding the stock ourselves given that the risks are of a nature that we cannot justify or fully quantify. For investors who do feel comfortable with them, there is a high probability that BABA presents very attractive risk-adjusted return potential here and, barring a major war or economic crisis in China emerging in the near future, should deliver strong returns relative to the broader U.S. stock indexes as current prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":564,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198907066,"gmtCreate":1620916657755,"gmtModify":1704350472864,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I didn't know Ford have know how on chip&nbsp;","listText":"I didn't know Ford have know how on chip&nbsp;","text":"I didn't know Ford have know how on chip","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/198907066","repostId":"2135621868","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2135621868","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1620912470,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2135621868?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-13 21:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ford redesigning parts to use more accessible chips, weighing direct deals with chip foundries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2135621868","media":"Reuters","summary":"DETROIT, May 13 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co   , in response to the global semiconductor shortage, is r","content":"<html><body><p>DETROIT, May 13 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co   , in response to the global semiconductor shortage, is redesigning automotive components to use more accessible chips, the No. 2 U.S. automaker's chief executive said on Thurdsay.</p><p>   Jim Farley, speaking at Ford's online annual shareholder meeting, also said the company is weighing other strategies for the future, including building a buffer supply of chips and signing supply deals directly with the foundries that make the wafers use in semconductors.</p><p> (Reporting by Ben Klayman in Detroit)</p><p>((benjamin.klayman@thomsonreuters.com;

Don't make these huge mistakes.","content":"<p>For months, investors have been on the edge of their seats just waiting for their portfolio values to tumble. Stocks have been largely overvalued for months, and many believe that conditions are ripe for a near-term stock market crash. In fact, there's a solid chance stock values could tank before May comes to a close.</p><p>Of course, without a crystal ball, it's impossible to predict when the next stock market crash will occur. But it's important to be ready for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> at all times, and that includes knowing what <i>not</i> to do if things take a turn for the worse. Here are three traps you shouldn't fall into if stock market volatility strikes soon.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F626498%2Fstock-market-downward-graph_gettyimages-463115585.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"494\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Stop investing</h2><p>Many people assume that when stocks tank, the best idea is to just sit back and watch from the sidelines. But actually, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the best times to invest is during a broad market correction or crash, because that's when you're likely to find stocks on sale.</p><p>Say you've been eying a company with a share price of $150. If its shares fall to $120 during a market crash, you have a prime opportunity to scoop them up at a discount -- and why would you want to miss out on that?</p><p>In fact, it's actually a good idea to stockpile some cash ahead of a market crash so you have an opportunity to buy stocks as their value drops. Just don't make the mistake of tapping your emergency fund -- that money should be reserved for unplanned bills only.</p><h2>2. Hit pause on your retirement plan contributions</h2><p>Just as you may be inclined to avoid buying stocks when the market declines, so too may the idea of pausing your retirement plan contributions enter your mind. But remember, funding an IRA or 401(k) doesn't just give you money to spend in the future -- it can also shield more of your income from the IRS at present (assuming you contribute to a traditional retirement plan and not a Roth account). And that's a tax break you really don't want to give up. As such, if you have the means to keep putting money into a retirement account, stick with that plan.</p><h2>3. Try to time the market by buying stocks at an absolute low</h2><p>Stock market crashes don't tend to last a single day. They can last weeks, months, or, in more extreme cases, years. Many investors spin their wheels during market crashes by trying to figure out when stocks will truly hit their low point. But doing so could cause you to lose out on prime buying opportunities.</p><p>Rather than attempt to time the market when stocks are down, keep a watchlist of companies you're hoping to invest in, and jump when their stocks go on sale.

Stocks have been largely overvalued for months, and many believe that conditions are ripe for a near-term stock market crash. In fact, there's a solid chance stock values could tank before May comes to a close.Of course, without a crystal ball, it's impossible to predict when the next stock market crash will occur. But it's important to be ready for one at all times, and that includes knowing what not to do if things take a turn for the worse. Here are three traps you shouldn't fall into if stock market volatility strikes soon.Image source: Getty Images.1. Stop investingMany people assume that when stocks tank, the best idea is to just sit back and watch from the sidelines. But actually, one of the best times to invest is during a broad market correction or crash, because that's when you're likely to find stocks on sale.Say you've been eying a company with a share price of $150. If its shares fall to $120 during a market crash, you have a prime opportunity to scoop them up at a discount -- and why would you want to miss out on that?In fact, it's actually a good idea to stockpile some cash ahead of a market crash so you have an opportunity to buy stocks as their value drops. Just don't make the mistake of tapping your emergency fund -- that money should be reserved for unplanned bills only.2. Hit pause on your retirement plan contributionsJust as you may be inclined to avoid buying stocks when the market declines, so too may the idea of pausing your retirement plan contributions enter your mind. But remember, funding an IRA or 401(k) doesn't just give you money to spend in the future -- it can also shield more of your income from the IRS at present (assuming you contribute to a traditional retirement plan and not a Roth account). And that's a tax break you really don't want to give up. As such, if you have the means to keep putting money into a retirement account, stick with that plan.3. Try to time the market by buying stocks at an absolute lowStock market crashes don't tend to last a single day. They can last weeks, months, or, in more extreme cases, years. Many investors spin their wheels during market crashes by trying to figure out when stocks will truly hit their low point. But doing so could cause you to lose out on prime buying opportunities.Rather than attempt to time the market when stocks are down, keep a watchlist of companies you're hoping to invest in, and jump when their stocks go on sale. In fact, rather than ask yourself whether you're getting the lowest price for a given stock, ask yourself whether you think that price will go up over time. If the answer is yes, then it's a good time to buy. Period.Will the stock market crumble in May? It could, or maybe it won't. But at some point, stocks are apt to crash, even if for a brief period of time, and knowing what not to do when that happens could help you emerge from a downturn not only unscathed, but wealthier than when you started.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":126,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193257713,"gmtCreate":1620793751832,"gmtModify":1704348510372,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don't think trader short the stock.

The dual-tranche loan referenced both SORA and the secured financing rate, the first of its kind in Singapore.More than 60% of property loan customers say they are drawn to the stability of SORA-based interest rates, UOB said in a press release earlier this month.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109934076,"gmtCreate":1619658376595,"gmtModify":1704727497835,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sold to take profit&nbsp;","listText":"Sold to take profit&nbsp;","text":"Sold to take profit","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/109934076","repostId":"1117714229","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1117714229","pubTimestamp":1619657342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117714229?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-29 08:49","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Why Did Tesla Sell Some Bitcoin?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117714229","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Tesla's intention when selling Bitcoin seems to have been a way to test the cryptocurrency's liquidi","content":"<p>Tesla's intention when selling Bitcoin seems to have been a way to test the cryptocurrency's liquidity.

The company, unlike its rivals Nio (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), focuses on EREV vehicles, or a combination of BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. The concept behind an EREV is that a vehicle runs on a battery until it runs out of energy, then a small engine creates energy for the electric motors using fossil fuels to significantly increase the vehicles' driving range. In other words, EREV is a vehicle that takes the best of BEV and ICE.</p>\n<p><b>Bull Thesis</b></p>\n<p>The world is in a transitory phase away from ICE vehicles to cleaner forms of transportation, and Li Auto is in a potential position to benefit from this movement. Here are reasons why:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><p>Li Auto's EREV vehicle is showing strong sales growth</p></li>\n <li><p>Li Auto's revenue growth and profitability potential is attractive</p></li>\n <li><p>Li Auto has a healthy balance sheet and attractive valuation compared to its competitors</p></li>\n</ol>\n<p><b>Bear Thesis</b></p>\n<p>All companies with exponential growth and amazing stories come at a risk, and Li Auto is no exception.</p>\n<ol>\n <li><p>The world will eventually move to complete electric vehicles or BEV, but Li Auto's transition from EREV to BEV might not be successful. Also, will customers continue to seek EREV vehicles if BEV vehicles' range significantly improves?</p></li>\n</ol>\n<p><b>Sales Growth</b></p>\n<p>Li Auto's vehicle, Li One's, sales data is growing at an unimaginable speed. Li Auto delivered&nbsp;32,624&nbsp;vehicles in 2020. Surprisingly, about 44% of the sales came from Q4 alone, which means that Li Auto's delivery is increasing significantly quarter over quarter. In 2021, Li Auto delivered&nbsp;5379&nbsp;vehicles in January,2300&nbsp;vehicles in February, and 4900 vehicles in March. In total, the company delivered 12579 vehicles for the quarter ending in March, which is about a 344% increase year over year. Also. because the management team estimated sales between&nbsp;10500 to 1150&nbsp;0vehicle deliveries in the first quarter, Li Auto proved that their EREV vehicle is still in high demand. Thus, Li Auto will most likely report great earnings and show strong revenue growth in 2021 as well.</p>\n<p><b>Li Auto's Growth</b></p>\n<p>Li Auto started selling its vehicle Li-One in late 2019, and Li Auto's revenue has been growing at an exponential rate since then.Li Auto had a revenue&nbsp;of 40.9 million dollars in December 2019 quarter. In the September 2020 quarter, Li Auto had revenue of 369.8 million dollars, and in December 2020 quarter, Li Auto had revenue of 635.3 million dollars.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29b00f665fd99abd1f2effa9f0f6beda\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"></p>\n<p>Li Auto's quarter-over-quarter revenue growth from the quarter ending in September to December in 2020 was 72%. On top of this,According to Yahoo Finance, Li Auto's 2021 full-year revenue estimate is about 2.9 billion dollars, which is up over 100% from 1.4 billion dollars in 2020 revenue. Li Auto's exponential growth cannot be denied. Revenues show that Li Auto is growing faster than XPeng and Nio at the moment, and if this trend can continue, Li Auto will be one of the best investments for investors.</p>\n<p>However, there is a problem. Li Auto's revenue growth was solely based on a single EREV vehicle while the world is transitioning to BEV vehicles. EREV vehicles do have advantages with longer range than BEV vehicles, but regulators and consumers will eventually move toward BEV vehicles. Also, in my opinion, Li Auto's most significant competitive advantage is the fact that its vehicle is an EREV, which means that customers are favoring Li One's long-range compared to its competitors. For example, according to&nbsp;Li Auto,Li-One has a range of 500 miles while Nio's ET7 has a range of&nbsp;310 miles and up to 435 miles. This is a significant risk. BEV vehicles' ranges are increasing significantly fast, which means that Li Auto's competitive advantage is decreasing. New batteries such as solid-state batteries will increase the range even further for BEV vehicles. This has the potential to dent Li Auto's sales. Also, once the company transitions to BEV vehicles, customers might migrate to Li Auto's competitors since the competitive advantage of being EREV disappeared. After all, the BEV vehicle market in China is ultra-competitive with multiple start-ups and traditional automakers. I believe this risk is going to be a problem for Li Auto until the company can prove that its BEV vehicles can retain similar sales as its EREV vehicles.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3ccf9dba33140a395eb7a7378d7eec4\" tg-width=\"598\" tg-height=\"270\"><span>Source - The picture shows a layout of an EREV vehicle</span></p>\n<p>On the bright side, Li Auto is closest to profitability among Nio and XPeng. Li Auto had a net income of&nbsp;16.5 million dollars&nbsp;in the quarter ending in December 2020 while&nbsp;Nio&nbsp;and XPeng lost 228.6 and 418.5 million dollars, respectively. Although Li Auto posted positive net income during the December quarter, the company is still expected to report a small amount of loss at about&nbsp;-0.06&nbsp;per share before reaching profitability in 2022. All in all, Li Auto seems to be managing its cost better than its competitors, while growing at a faster pace.</p>\n<p>Li Auto's ability to grow exponentially while being close to profitability is showing strong bullish signs for the company; however, questions of Li Auto's sustainability with EREV vehicles remain.</p>\n<p><b>Balance Sheet and Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Li Auto, in my opinion, has a very healthy balance sheet, and when considering that the company is growing at an exponential rate, the balance sheet seems even better. Li Auto has 4.3 billion dollars in cash and short-term investments with only 78 million dollars in long-term debt. Furthermore, the company's total liability to total asset ratio (L/S) is at only 18%. Considering that Li Auto is barely losing money, I think it's more than reasonable to say that Li Auto has a healthy balance sheet. If I were to address any concern in the balance sheet, it would be 213.3 million dollars in capital lease, but this will not be a significant problem for the company with its current growth.</p>\n<p>Li Auto also has a very attractive valuation compared to Nio and XPeng at 12.5 p/s ratios compared to Nio's 18.45 and XPeng's 13.63.

The company, unlike its rivals Nio (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), focuses on EREV vehicles, or a combination of BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. The concept behind an EREV is that a vehicle runs on a battery until it runs out of energy, then a small engine creates energy for the electric motors using fossil fuels to significantly increase the vehicles' driving range. In other words, EREV is a vehicle that takes the best of BEV and ICE.\nBull Thesis\nThe world is in a transitory phase away from ICE vehicles to cleaner forms of transportation, and Li Auto is in a potential position to benefit from this movement. Here are reasons why:\n\nLi Auto's EREV vehicle is showing strong sales growth\nLi Auto's revenue growth and profitability potential is attractive\nLi Auto has a healthy balance sheet and attractive valuation compared to its competitors\n\nBear Thesis\nAll companies with exponential growth and amazing stories come at a risk, and Li Auto is no exception.\n\nThe world will eventually move to complete electric vehicles or BEV, but Li Auto's transition from EREV to BEV might not be successful. Also, will customers continue to seek EREV vehicles if BEV vehicles' range significantly improves?\n\nSales Growth\nLi Auto's vehicle, Li One's, sales data is growing at an unimaginable speed. Li Auto delivered 32,624 vehicles in 2020. Surprisingly, about 44% of the sales came from Q4 alone, which means that Li Auto's delivery is increasing significantly quarter over quarter. In 2021, Li Auto delivered 5379 vehicles in January,2300 vehicles in February, and 4900 vehicles in March. In total, the company delivered 12579 vehicles for the quarter ending in March, which is about a 344% increase year over year. Also. because the management team estimated sales between 10500 to 1150 0vehicle deliveries in the first quarter, Li Auto proved that their EREV vehicle is still in high demand. Thus, Li Auto will most likely report great earnings and show strong revenue growth in 2021 as well.\nLi Auto's Growth\nLi Auto started selling its vehicle Li-One in late 2019, and Li Auto's revenue has been growing at an exponential rate since then.Li Auto had a revenue of 40.9 million dollars in December 2019 quarter. In the September 2020 quarter, Li Auto had revenue of 369.8 million dollars, and in December 2020 quarter, Li Auto had revenue of 635.3 million dollars.\n\nLi Auto's quarter-over-quarter revenue growth from the quarter ending in September to December in 2020 was 72%. On top of this,According to Yahoo Finance, Li Auto's 2021 full-year revenue estimate is about 2.9 billion dollars, which is up over 100% from 1.4 billion dollars in 2020 revenue. Li Auto's exponential growth cannot be denied. Revenues show that Li Auto is growing faster than XPeng and Nio at the moment, and if this trend can continue, Li Auto will be one of the best investments for investors.\nHowever, there is a problem. Li Auto's revenue growth was solely based on a single EREV vehicle while the world is transitioning to BEV vehicles. EREV vehicles do have advantages with longer range than BEV vehicles, but regulators and consumers will eventually move toward BEV vehicles. Also, in my opinion, Li Auto's most significant competitive advantage is the fact that its vehicle is an EREV, which means that customers are favoring Li One's long-range compared to its competitors. For example, according to Li Auto,Li-One has a range of 500 miles while Nio's ET7 has a range of 310 miles and up to 435 miles. This is a significant risk. BEV vehicles' ranges are increasing significantly fast, which means that Li Auto's competitive advantage is decreasing. New batteries such as solid-state batteries will increase the range even further for BEV vehicles. This has the potential to dent Li Auto's sales. Also, once the company transitions to BEV vehicles, customers might migrate to Li Auto's competitors since the competitive advantage of being EREV disappeared. After all, the BEV vehicle market in China is ultra-competitive with multiple start-ups and traditional automakers. I believe this risk is going to be a problem for Li Auto until the company can prove that its BEV vehicles can retain similar sales as its EREV vehicles.\nSource - The picture shows a layout of an EREV vehicle\nOn the bright side, Li Auto is closest to profitability among Nio and XPeng. Li Auto had a net income of 16.5 million dollars in the quarter ending in December 2020 while Nio and XPeng lost 228.6 and 418.5 million dollars, respectively. Although Li Auto posted positive net income during the December quarter, the company is still expected to report a small amount of loss at about -0.06 per share before reaching profitability in 2022. All in all, Li Auto seems to be managing its cost better than its competitors, while growing at a faster pace.\nLi Auto's ability to grow exponentially while being close to profitability is showing strong bullish signs for the company; however, questions of Li Auto's sustainability with EREV vehicles remain.\nBalance Sheet and Valuation\nLi Auto, in my opinion, has a very healthy balance sheet, and when considering that the company is growing at an exponential rate, the balance sheet seems even better. Li Auto has 4.3 billion dollars in cash and short-term investments with only 78 million dollars in long-term debt. Furthermore, the company's total liability to total asset ratio (L/S) is at only 18%. Considering that Li Auto is barely losing money, I think it's more than reasonable to say that Li Auto has a healthy balance sheet. If I were to address any concern in the balance sheet, it would be 213.3 million dollars in capital lease, but this will not be a significant problem for the company with its current growth.\nLi Auto also has a very attractive valuation compared to Nio and XPeng at 12.5 p/s ratios compared to Nio's 18.45 and XPeng's 13.63. Li Auto is trading cheaper than these companies with healthier balance sheets and stronger growth. However, Li Auto's cheaper valuation might be from the fact that the company is not selling BEV vehicles.\nI cannot deny that Li Auto's valuation in terms of p/s and its balance sheet is great; however, I think the EV industry as a whole is slightly overvalued. For example, Li Auto is expected to report 0.18 eps in 2022, which means that Li Auto is trading at about 111 times its 2022 earnings. Also, Nio and XPeng are not even expected to be profitable by 2022. I understand that earnings do not matter for these high-growth companies, but eventually, I think, earnings will matter, eventually.\nConclusion\nAlthough I have more reasons to be bullish for Li Auto than being bearish, I am still doubtful. The revenue is indeed growing at an unimaginable pace, and it is also true that Li Auto has an attractive valuation compared to its competitors while having a healthier balance sheet. But, the uncertainty of sustainability of an EREV vehicle, and the demand for EREV as BEVs get better is troubling. Also, Li Auto's transition from EREV to BEV might not be as smooth as many investors are expecting. I will be cheering for Li Auto and wait until the company's management team provides clearer guidelines for BEV vehicles. Therefore, I believe that this company is perfect for risk-tolerant investors or investors seeking extremely high risk and high reward ratios. I would advise investors to be careful even when being optimistic about Li Auto's success.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379910763,"gmtCreate":1618650773852,"gmtModify":1704713841375,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell first and keep those high Divident stock&nbsp;","listText":"Sell first and keep those high Divident stock&nbsp;","text":"Sell first and keep those high Divident stock","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379910763","repostId":"1165321503","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165321503","pubTimestamp":1618588143,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165321503?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed’s Waller says the economy is ‘ready to rip’ but policy should stay put","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165321503","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTSFed Governor Christopher Waller told CNBC on Friday that the economy “is ready to rip.Howe","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSFed Governor Christopher Waller told CNBC on Friday that the economy “is ready to rip.However, he said there’s still “no reason to be pulling the plug” on the heavy levels of policy support ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/16/feds-waller-says-the-economy-is-ready-to-rip-but-policy-should-stay-put.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

We get 70% of the population vaccinated, then all the fundamentals are there for good, strong growth that we left back in January, February of 2020,” he said. “We’ve still got room to catch up to where we were. We’re making up for lost ground.”‘No reason to be pulling the plug’The economy officially entered recession in February 2020, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which makes the official call on contractions and expansions. While the U.S. is poised for another quarter of strong growth, gross domestic product is still running a bit below where it was prior to the Covid-19 onset.That’s part of the reason Waller concurs with his fellow central bankers in seeingthe need to keep policy loose. The Fed is currently holding short-term borrowing rates near zero while it purchases at least $120 billion of bonds each month.In a major policy shift last year, the Fed pledged that it will not raise rates until it sees full and inclusive employment, and is willing to tolerate inflation a bit above the traditional 2% target until it gets there. Fed officials have expressed concern about the uneven nature of the recovery, particularly regarding those at the lower end of the income spectrum.“We’ve got to make that up first,” Waller said. “Other parts of the economy seem to have really come back. We still have relatively high unemployment rates, particularly for minorities, and so we’ve still got a long way to go. There’s no reason to be pulling the plug on our support till we’re really through this.”Waller added that he thinks inflationary pressures that have begun to show up are likely temporary, a view widely held at the Fed. The consumer price index rose 2.6% in March from a year ago.Waller said he expects the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge based on personal consumption expenditures could run around 2.5% for 2021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":37,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347308284,"gmtCreate":1618461702848,"gmtModify":1704711195768,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will keep these stocks&nbsp;","listText":"Will keep these stocks&nbsp;","text":"Will keep these stocks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347308284","repostId":"1193545670","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193545670","pubTimestamp":1618454983,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1193545670?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-15 10:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193545670","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutters","content":"<p>With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59bdc81d796b158d4291af2dea795a4f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p>\n<p>President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief.

That’s why this list has some of the biggest names in the EV space which are betting big on that market.</p>\n<p>So, without further ado, here are seven EV stocks that are focusing on China:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Nio</b>(NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Xpeng</b>(NYSE:<b><u>XPEV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Li Auto</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>LI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>General Motors</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BYD Company</b>&nbsp;(OCTMKTS:<b><u>BYDDF</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ford</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Electric Vehicle Stocks Focusing on China: Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>Tesla has become the poster child of the equity bull market. Nevertheless, TSLA stock remains the preeminent name among electric vehicle stocks.</p>\n<p>Last year, the American electric-vehicle and clean-energy company delivered 499,550 vehicles,slightly missing its guidance&nbsp;of 500,000 vehicles. Still, that’s an excellent figure which stands head and shoulders above its peers.</p>\n<p>China was a major driver for Tesla’s growth, with sales&nbsp;more than doubling to $6.66 billion, representing almost one-fifth of Tesla’s overall sales volume.</p>\n<p>In 2019, Chinese sales represented just 12% of the overall sales pie for Tesla, so it’s certainly moving in the right direction. It also helps that&nbsp;Tesla has a local factory&nbsp;in Shanghai and that Elon Musk has enjoyed an&nbsp;excellent relationship&nbsp;with Chinese state authorities thus far.</p>\n<p>Moving forward, Tesla’s main area of concern will be making sure it maintains its top position in the Chinese market. As we will get to later in this list, there are several competitors chomping at the bit to get a slice of the overall pie.</p>\n<p><b>Nio (NIO)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is NIO stock, the closest competition Tesla has in China. Unlike Elon Musk’s billion-dollar baby, Nio is extremely well entrenched in the Chinese market and enjoys a strategic relationship with the government that even Musk probably envies.</p>\n<p>At the height of the pandemic, the Chinese EV maker&nbsp;inked a $1 billion bailout&nbsp;with the city of Hefei, the capital of the Anhui province. In exchange for the cash injection, it agreed to build a new subsidiary under the name Nio China. Additionally, Nio agreed to build a facility in Hefei to serve as headquarters for the subsidiary. A steeper price, however, was that the Hefei investor group now owns 24% of Nio China.</p>\n<p>But focusing on the positives, the company does have excellent delivery numbers. For example, there were&nbsp;7,257 vehicle deliveries in March, bringing total deliveries for the quarter to 20,060, a new record. This marks a continuation of the company’s excellent performance since. All in all, Nio has delivered stellar quarterly results for quite some time now.</p>\n<p><b>Xpeng (XPEV)</b></p>\n<p>Next up on this list of electric vehicle stocks is XPEV stock.</p>\n<p>Although Nio had a great quarter, Xpeng stole a majority of the headlines. In the first quarter of 2021, the company&nbsp;delivered 13,340 vehicles, beating its guidance of 12,500 for the period. Moreover, there were 5,102 deliveries split almost evenly between the company’s P7 sedan and G3 SUV in March.</p>\n<p>Much like its other Chinese counterparts, Xpeng is having a ball of a time. Its sales numbers remain steady while loss declines on the road to profitability. In Q4, the&nbsp;net loss came in at 787.4 million yuan&nbsp;($120.7 million) versus a 1.15 billion yuan deficit in the third quarter and a 997.1 million yuan loss in Q4 2019.</p>\n<p>With Xpeng’s performance continuing in this explosive manner, it’s only a matter of time before we see positive earnings per share (EPS) numbers. What’s more, much like Nio, the company has a strong connection with the Chinese government. It recently&nbsp;received $76.9 million&nbsp;from the Guangdong provincial government.</p>\n<p>Much like the other provinces in the country, Guangdong wants to accelerate the shift towards electric cars. What better way to do that than partnering up with a leading firm like Xpeng.</p>\n<p><b>Li Auto (LI)</b></p>\n<p>Another Chinese EV maker that has its shares listed on a U.S. exchange is Li Auto. This company has also been an excellent performer. Somehow, though, LI stock does not get the same kind of love we see with Nio and Xpeng. Regardless, this pick of the electric vehicle stocks is a solid investment — one that is currently trading at almost half of its 52-week high.</p>\n<p>Based in Beijing with manufacturing facilities in Changzhou, Li Auto reported a&nbsp;238.6 % year-over-year (YOY) increase&nbsp;for its Li ONE deliveries in March. That brought total deliveries for the first quarter to 12,579, a YOY gain of 334.4%. Expect this momentum to continue for the company.</p>\n<p>But that’s not the only good thing behind Li; the Chinese EV manufacturer also has an edge because the Li-One is a<i>hybrid</i>vehicle.</p>\n<p>Yes, China is aggressively building out its EV capacity. However, charging stations are still somewhat sparse in China. So, in some ways Li Auto’s vehicle is a more attractive and convenient option for the middle-class consumers of the country.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (GM)</b></p>\n<p>Perhaps it seems strange that we have gotten this far without talking about any of the major U.S. companies making waves in China, apart from Tesla. Well, that’s the state of the market, unfortunately. In China, foreign companies often have a tough time making inroads.</p>\n<p>However, there are a few electric vehicle stocks that have made some progress. GM is one of those names. The iconic American carmaker actually&nbsp;delivered 2.9 million vehicles&nbsp;in the country last year, down 6.2% YOY but still an excellent return.</p>\n<p>Another bright spot for GM stock is that the company’s sales recovered at a double-digit clip in the second half of last year. Chinese sales jumped 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months of 2020.</p>\n<p>General Motors has had a long-time presence in the region, too, having&nbsp;joint ventures&nbsp;with firms like state-owned&nbsp;<b>SAIC Motor Corp</b>, for instance.</p>\n<p>But let’s talk specifically about the EV part of the business. In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp and another partner, SGMW. The latter makes the Hongguang Mini EV, a popular two-door micro electric vehicle. It is the&nbsp;most sold EV model in China. So, with a foothold in this subsegment of the market, GM has all the incentive to move forward and expand further.</p>\n<p><b>BYD (BYDDF)</b></p>\n<p>Our next entry on this list of electric vehicle stocks is a conglomerate in every sense of the word. It has its fingers in everything from energy storage to battery-powered bicycles to buses, batteries and most recently face masks.</p>\n<p>Also, unlike some of its peers on this list, the company is profitable. So, there are no surprises why Warren Buffet likes this company. Currently,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BRK-A</u></b>,NYSE:<b><u>BRK-B</u></b>) holds an 8.2% stake in BYD.</p>\n<p>But that’s not all. In March, BYD also managed to beat out both Nio and Xpeng in sales. Nio reported delivery of 7,257 units and Xpeng sold 5,102 units last month. Meanwhile, BYD delivered&nbsp;over 23,000 units&nbsp;for the same period, raising Q1 deliveries to 53,380 vehicles. Moreover, last year, BYD unveiled several new offerings, including its&nbsp;Han&nbsp;and Tang models.</p>\n<p>Overall, there are plenty of positive catalysts for BYD stock. They make this one of the best electric vehicle stocks out there.</p>\n<p><b>Ford</b>&nbsp;<b>(F)</b></p>\n<p>Let’s face it: Ford has been in trouble for a while. The company’s shares of all of its key markets have decreased over the last five years. However, there are silver linings that should help push this American automaker forward.</p>\n<p>Firstly, CEO Jim Farley has laid out an aggressive strategy of revitalizing the brand. Farley is an insider with extensive experience at the company. Plus, before his time with Ford, he worked at&nbsp;<b>Toyota</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TM</u></b>) and was one of the leading figures behind the company’s Scion product launch.</p>\n<p>Farley’s approach is paying dividends thus far. According to<i>CNBC</i>, the company beat Wall Street consensus earnings estimates&nbsp;three times in the last four quarters. Additionally, honing in on Chinese sales in 2020, the company and its joint ventures&nbsp;delivered 602,627 vehicles, representing 6.1% YOY growth.</p>\n<p>In Q1 2021, Ford also&nbsp;sold 153,822 new vehiclesin China, a 73% jump from the year-ago period and the “fourth consecutive quarter of growth in the region.” Additionally, the automaker is&nbsp;planning to build&nbsp;its Mustang Mach-E in China for the first time this year.</p>\n<p>For the longest time, Mustang sports cars have been imported to the Chinese market. This new move will help the automaker exploit all the momentum it has managed to generate in the Chinese market lately — just another reason why F stock is becoming a competitive entry among electric vehicle stocks.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market</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\">\n7 Electric Vehicle Stocks Betting Big on the Chinese Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-15 10:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutterstock\nPresident Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief. ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"F":"福特汽车","LI":"理想汽车","002594":"比亚迪","GM":"通用汽车","BYDDF":"BYD Co., Ltd.","XPEV":"小鹏汽车","TSLA":"特斯拉","NIO":"蔚来","01211":"比亚迪股份"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/seven-electric-vehicle-stocks-betting-big-china-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1193545670","content_text":"With 1.3 million electric vehicles sold there in 2020, China is the frontier of EVs\nSource: Shutterstock\nPresident Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan should provide some much-needed relief. Recently, though,InvestorPlace’s Sarah Smith wrote an excellent piece on 21 companies that will especially benefit from the bill.Electric vehicle stocks were among the initiative’s biggest net beneficiaries.\nUnlike several other industries, electric vehicles (EVs) did not necessarily need a massive boost. Yes, we did have a market selloff that led to several risky EV plays losing some steam. But that was a temporary blip, one that withdrew to the background once Biden announced his plan.\nOn Mar. 26, UBS Group released a research note reaffirming this view. The Swiss multinational investment bank outlined three reasons why the “EV market still has room to run.”\nFirst, while auto sales declined in 2020, global electric vehicle sales still increased by 43%. Secondly, governments around the world are enforcing tighter regulations to help EV sales increase. And finally, technological advances and a change in consumer preferences also serve as important tailwinds for the industry.\nThat said, though, the real wild card in the equation is China. It’s now the world’s biggest EV market and has fared quite well despite the pandemic. And unsurprisingly, some of the biggest electric vehicle stocks are from there.

(It's yielding 1.32% on Monday.)</p>\n<p>As a result, many income-seeking investors have migrated from bonds, considered the safest income investments, to the stock market. But the income from a diversified stock portfolio might not be high enough.</p>\n<p>There is a way to increase that income, even while lowering your risk.</p>\n<p>Below is a description of an income strategy for stocks that you might not be aware of -- covered call options -- along with examples from Kevin Simpson, the founder of Capital Wealth Planning in Naples, Fla., which manages the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF.</p>\n<p>This exchange traded fund is rated five stars (the highest) by Morningstar. We will also look at other ETFs that use covered call options in a different way, but with income as the main objective.</p>\n<p><b>Covered call options</b></p>\n<p>A call option is a contract that allows an investor to buy a security at a particular price (called the strike price) until the option expires. A put option is the opposite, allowing the purchaser to sell a security at a specified price until the option expires.</p>\n<p>A covered call option is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that you write when you already own a security. The strategy is used by stock investors to increase income and provide some downside protection.</p>\n<p>Here's a current example of a covered call option in the DIVO portfolio, described by Simpson during an interview.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 23, the ETF wrote a one-month call for ConocoPhillips <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COP\">$(COP)$</a>. At that time, the stock was trading at about $55 a share. The call has a strike price of $57.50.</p>\n<p>\"We collected between 70 cents and 75 cents a share\" on that option, Simpson said. So if we go on the low side, 70 cents a share, we have a return of 1.27% for only one month. That is not an annualized figure -- it shows how much income can be made from the covered-call strategy if it is employed over and over again.</p>\n<p>If shares of ConocoPhillips rise above $57.50, they will likely be called away -- Simpson and DIVO will be forced to sell the shares at that price. If that happens, they may regret parting with a stock they like. But along with the 70 cents a share for the option, they will also have enjoyed a 4.6% gain from the share price at the time they wrote the option.

(It's yielding 1.32% on Monday.)\nAs a result, many income-seeking investors have migrated from bonds, considered the safest income investments, to the stock market. But the income from a diversified stock portfolio might not be high enough.\nThere is a way to increase that income, even while lowering your risk.\nBelow is a description of an income strategy for stocks that you might not be aware of -- covered call options -- along with examples from Kevin Simpson, the founder of Capital Wealth Planning in Naples, Fla., which manages the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF.\nThis exchange traded fund is rated five stars (the highest) by Morningstar. We will also look at other ETFs that use covered call options in a different way, but with income as the main objective.\nCovered call options\nA call option is a contract that allows an investor to buy a security at a particular price (called the strike price) until the option expires. A put option is the opposite, allowing the purchaser to sell a security at a specified price until the option expires.\nA covered call option is one that you write when you already own a security. The strategy is used by stock investors to increase income and provide some downside protection.\nHere's a current example of a covered call option in the DIVO portfolio, described by Simpson during an interview.\nOn Aug. 23, the ETF wrote a one-month call for ConocoPhillips $(COP)$. At that time, the stock was trading at about $55 a share. The call has a strike price of $57.50.\n\"We collected between 70 cents and 75 cents a share\" on that option, Simpson said. So if we go on the low side, 70 cents a share, we have a return of 1.27% for only one month. That is not an annualized figure -- it shows how much income can be made from the covered-call strategy if it is employed over and over again.\nIf shares of ConocoPhillips rise above $57.50, they will likely be called away -- Simpson and DIVO will be forced to sell the shares at that price. If that happens, they may regret parting with a stock they like. But along with the 70 cents a share for the option, they will also have enjoyed a 4.6% gain from the share price at the time they wrote the option. And if the option expires without being exercised, they are free to write another option and earn more income.\nMeanwhile, ConocoPhillips has a dividend yield of more than 3%, which itself is attractive compared with Treasury yields.\nStill, there is risk. If ConocoPhillips were to double to $110 before the option expired, DIVO would still have to sell it for $57.50. All that upside would be left on the table. That's the price you pay for the income provided by this strategy.\nSimpson also provided two previous examples of stocks for which he wrote covered calls:\n\n\nDIVO bought shares of Nike Inc. for between $87 and $88 a share in May 2020 after the stock’s pullback and then then booked $4.50 a share in revenue by writing repeated covered call options for the stock through December. Simpson eventually sold the stock in August after booking another $5 a share in option premiums.\nDIVO earned $6.30 a share in covered-call premiums on shares of Caterpillar Inc.,which were called away “in late February around $215-$220,” Simpson said. After that, the stock rallied to $245 in June, showing some lost upside. Caterpillar’s stock has now pulled back to about $206.\n\n\nSimpson's strategy for DIVO is to hold a portfolio of about 25 to 30 blue chip stocks (all of which pay dividends) and only write a small number of options at any time, based on market conditions. It is primarily a long-term growth strategy, with the income enhancement from the covered call options.\nThe fund currently has five covered-call positions, including ConocoPhillips.

The fund's quoted 30-day SEC yield is only 1.43%, but that only includes the dividend portion of the distribution. The distribution yield, which is what investors actually receive, is 5.03%.\nYou can see the fund's top holdings here on the MarketWatch quote page. Here is a new guide to the quote page, which includes a wealth of information.\nDIVO's performance\nMorningstar's five-star rating for DIVO is based on the ETF's performance within the investment research firm's \"U.S. Fund Derivative Income\" peer group. A comparison of the ETF's total return with that of the S&P 500 Index can be expected to show lower performance over the long term, in keeping with the income focus and the giving-up of some upside potential for stocks that are called away as part of the covered-call strategy.\nDIVO was established on Dec. 14, 2016.

An example is the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF $(QYLD)$, which holds the stocks that make up the Nasdaq-100 Index , in the same proportions as the index, while continually writing covered-call options against the entire index.

Even so, CEO Cathie Wood is gaining a reputation as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of Wall Street's best stock pickers. Her company's most popular product -- the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a> </b>(NYSEMKT:ARKK) -- has significantly outperformed the broader market over the last five years, surging 540%.</p>\n<p>Recently, ARK has been purchasing shares of <b>Palantir Technologies</b> (NYSE:PLTR) and <b>Twilio</b> (NYSE:TWLO) for its flagship ETF. Given ARK's track record, investors might want to consider these stocks for their own portfolios. Let's take a closer look at these two stocks that Cathie Wood's team has shown so much investing interest in.</p>\n<h2>1. Palantir: Big data analytics</h2>\n<p>Palantir serves both government and commercial clients, providing software that helps organizations manage, integrate, and analyze massive amounts of data. It also focuses on protecting privacy, and its solutions allow clients to monitor and control access to information.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37e069515a731ebbf1de034332d7865e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"428\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>As a practical example, aircraft manufacturer <b>Airbus</b> uses Palantir's Foundry software to track 5 million parts and coordinate the engineering efforts of hundreds of teams spread across eight factories in four different countries.</p>\n<p>Likewise, in the government sector, the U.S. Army uses Palantir's Gotham software to manage over 1 million military personnel, identify patterns in datasets, and make informed decisions that may be the difference between life and death.</p>\n<p>One of Palantir's key advantages is the environment-agnostic&nbsp;nature of its software. Its platforms can be deployed in any public or private cloud, including classified government networks. And the company's continuous delivery system, Palantir Apollo, performs automatic updates with no downtime, ensuring clients always have access to cutting-edge capabilities.</p>\n<p>Apollo also allows Palantir's software-as-a-service (SaaS) to function in places where other SaaS company's can't operate. For instance, its software can run on disconnected laptops in a Humvee, on servers in the hull of a submarine, and in aircraft flying at 30,000 feet. This gives the company a big advantage over its rivals.</p>\n<p>Palantir ended last year with 139 customers&nbsp;across 40 industries. Notably, the average revenue per customer jumped from $5.2 million&nbsp;in 2018 to $7.9 million in 2020. That has powered strong top-line growth.</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>Change</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$595 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$1.1 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>36%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Palantir SEC filings.</p>\n<p>Despite the company's controversial past, the future looks promising for Palantir. As the world becomes increasingly digital, enterprises are creating more data at a phenomenal pace. In order to carve out a competitive edge, they need a way to manage and make sense of that data.

Even so, CEO Cathie Wood is gaining a reputation as one of Wall Street's best stock pickers. Her company's most popular product -- the ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEMKT:ARKK) -- has significantly outperformed the broader market over the last five years, surging 540%.\nRecently, ARK has been purchasing shares of Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) and Twilio (NYSE:TWLO) for its flagship ETF. Given ARK's track record, investors might want to consider these stocks for their own portfolios. Let's take a closer look at these two stocks that Cathie Wood's team has shown so much investing interest in.\n1. Palantir: Big data analytics\nPalantir serves both government and commercial clients, providing software that helps organizations manage, integrate, and analyze massive amounts of data. It also focuses on protecting privacy, and its solutions allow clients to monitor and control access to information.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAs a practical example, aircraft manufacturer Airbus uses Palantir's Foundry software to track 5 million parts and coordinate the engineering efforts of hundreds of teams spread across eight factories in four different countries.\nLikewise, in the government sector, the U.S. Army uses Palantir's Gotham software to manage over 1 million military personnel, identify patterns in datasets, and make informed decisions that may be the difference between life and death.\nOne of Palantir's key advantages is the environment-agnostic nature of its software. Its platforms can be deployed in any public or private cloud, including classified government networks. And the company's continuous delivery system, Palantir Apollo, performs automatic updates with no downtime, ensuring clients always have access to cutting-edge capabilities.\nApollo also allows Palantir's software-as-a-service (SaaS) to function in places where other SaaS company's can't operate. For instance, its software can run on disconnected laptops in a Humvee, on servers in the hull of a submarine, and in aircraft flying at 30,000 feet. This gives the company a big advantage over its rivals.\nPalantir ended last year with 139 customers across 40 industries. Notably, the average revenue per customer jumped from $5.2 million in 2018 to $7.9 million in 2020. That has powered strong top-line growth.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2018\n2020\nChange\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$595 million\n$1.1 billion\n36%\n\n\n\nData source: Palantir SEC filings.\nDespite the company's controversial past, the future looks promising for Palantir. As the world becomes increasingly digital, enterprises are creating more data at a phenomenal pace. In order to carve out a competitive edge, they need a way to manage and make sense of that data. And Palantir's software looks like a perfect fit.\n2. Twilio: Customer engagement\nTwilio's communications platform simplifies software development, allowing clients to easily build apps that incorporate features like voice, text, video, and email. This makes it possible to send shipping notifications and appointment reminders, provide chat support to consumers, enable video conferencing with clients, and implement two-factor authentication, among many other use cases.\nImage source: Twilio\nIn addition to these building blocks, Twilio also provides more complete solutions. For example, Twilio Frontline is a mobile application that launched during the pandemic. It enables employees to connect with and assist customers regardless of whether they are in an office or working remotely.\nAltogether, Twilio's communications platform powers over 1 trillion human interactions each year. That impressive statistic has translated into strong growth for this company.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2018\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$650 million\n$1.8 billion\n65%\n\n\n\nData source: Twilio SEC filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nNotably, Twilio is not currently profitable. The company posted net income losses of $179 million in 2020 due to substantial investments in sales and marketing, as well as research and development.\nI think this strategy makes sense, though. Twilio had a $79 billion market opportunity in 2020, according to management, and that figure should continue to grow in the years ahead. It's important for Twilio to grab as much of that market as possible right now, meaning the company needs to focus its resources on growth.\nAs its business continues to scale, operational expenses should shrink on a relative basis. That should eventually lead Twilio to profitability. And with a gross margin of 52% in 2020, Twilio is poised to be a very profitable company. However, investors should monitor revenue growth to make sure Twilio is on the right track.\nAs a final thought, enterprises were forced to find new ways to interact with consumers during the pandemic. Not surprisingly, Twilio's platform saw increased adoption last year, and that trend is unlikely to reverse. In a recent survey, Twilio found that 95% (of 2,500 enterprises) plan to maintain or increase their investment in digital customer engagement post-pandemic.

We get 70% of the population vaccinated, then all the fundamentals are there for good, strong growth that we left back in January, February of 2020,” he said. “We’ve still got room to catch up to where we were. We’re making up for lost ground.”‘No reason to be pulling the plug’The economy officially entered recession in February 2020, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which makes the official call on contractions and expansions. While the U.S. is poised for another quarter of strong growth, gross domestic product is still running a bit below where it was prior to the Covid-19 onset.That’s part of the reason Waller concurs with his fellow central bankers in seeingthe need to keep policy loose. The Fed is currently holding short-term borrowing rates near zero while it purchases at least $120 billion of bonds each month.In a major policy shift last year, the Fed pledged that it will not raise rates until it sees full and inclusive employment, and is willing to tolerate inflation a bit above the traditional 2% target until it gets there. Fed officials have expressed concern about the uneven nature of the recovery, particularly regarding those at the lower end of the income spectrum.“We’ve got to make that up first,” Waller said. “Other parts of the economy seem to have really come back. We still have relatively high unemployment rates, particularly for minorities, and so we’ve still got a long way to go. There’s no reason to be pulling the plug on our support till we’re really through this.”Waller added that he thinks inflationary pressures that have begun to show up are likely temporary, a view widely held at the Fed. The consumer price index rose 2.6% in March from a year ago.Waller said he expects the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge based on personal consumption expenditures could run around 2.5% for 2021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108255093,"gmtCreate":1620033533112,"gmtModify":1704337643316,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Elon is the the PR","listText":"Elon is the the PR","text":"Elon is the the PR","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108255093","repostId":"1164320832","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1164320832","pubTimestamp":1620030405,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164320832?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 16:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Does Tesla Have a PR Problem?

Tesla doesn’t have an active public relations department. It doesn’t respond to many reporters. The company didn’t respond to a request for a comment about this article, either. And Musk doesn’t appear to like the press.</p>\n<p>Still, it’s time for Tesla to upgrade its&nbsp;public relations&nbsp;operation. And not just to satisfy reporters. The company is aggressively rolling out new autonomous driving features and expanding capacity around the world as fast as it can. There is a lot going on.</p>\n<p>Musk’s disdain for PR seems to be rooted in mistrust. Consider the coverage of a fatal&nbsp;crash in Texas&nbsp;last month involving a Tesla vehicle that might have had the company’s driver assistance feature, dubbed Autopilot, engaged. Many auto makers offer similar features that help automatically regulate speed on highways depending on traffic and keep cars from drifting outside of lanes. After the accident, Musk lashed out at the media on&nbsp;Twitter&nbsp;(TWTR) and later during the company’s first quarter investor call.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7ec235536b646e4979b8aa1d72fdc24d\" tg-width=\"916\" tg-height=\"867\"></p>\n<p><b>“</b>There was&nbsp;an articlere&nbsp;garding a tragedy where there was a high-speed [accident] in Tesla,” Musk said during the event. “There was really just extremely deceptive media practices where it was claimed to be Autopilot where this is completely false.&nbsp;And those journalists should be&nbsp;ashamed&nbsp;of themselves.”</p>\n<p>Articles about the incident referenced comments from local authorities, who said it looked as if there was no one in the driver’s seat of the crashed vehicle. That raised the possibility that vehicle operators misused the system. Driver assist features, such as Tesla’s Autopilot and those from other auto makers,aren’t supposed to function if no one is behind the wheel. There are various sensors and fail safes in place to prevent that. Still, features can be tricked. That might not be the responsibility of auto makers, but accidents involving self-driving technologyare new—and make headlines.

Tesla doesn’t have an active public relations department. It doesn’t respond to many reporters. The company didn’t respond to a request for a comment about this article, either. And Musk doesn’t appear to like the press.\nStill, it’s time for Tesla to upgrade its public relations operation. And not just to satisfy reporters. The company is aggressively rolling out new autonomous driving features and expanding capacity around the world as fast as it can. There is a lot going on.\nMusk’s disdain for PR seems to be rooted in mistrust. Consider the coverage of a fatal crash in Texas last month involving a Tesla vehicle that might have had the company’s driver assistance feature, dubbed Autopilot, engaged. Many auto makers offer similar features that help automatically regulate speed on highways depending on traffic and keep cars from drifting outside of lanes. After the accident, Musk lashed out at the media on Twitter (TWTR) and later during the company’s first quarter investor call.\n\n“There was an articlere garding a tragedy where there was a high-speed [accident] in Tesla,” Musk said during the event. “There was really just extremely deceptive media practices where it was claimed to be Autopilot where this is completely false. And those journalists should be ashamed of themselves.”\nArticles about the incident referenced comments from local authorities, who said it looked as if there was no one in the driver’s seat of the crashed vehicle. That raised the possibility that vehicle operators misused the system. Driver assist features, such as Tesla’s Autopilot and those from other auto makers,aren’t supposed to function if no one is behind the wheel. There are various sensors and fail safes in place to prevent that. Still, features can be tricked. That might not be the responsibility of auto makers, but accidents involving self-driving technologyare new—and make headlines. More advanced self-driving features are novel and have yet to be widely adopted.\nTesla itself believes it is on the cusp of major advancements: The company is about to roll out a new version of its full self-driving, or FSD, software. FSD is a $10,000 upgrade to Autopilot: In some circumstances, the FSD software that is currently available to customers can drive Tesla vehicles around cities. Tesla has tested several new versions of its FSD software this year, and Musk believes the company will deliver true self-driving vehicles soon—possibly by the end of 2021—although he acknowledges this is one of the toughest challenges the business has undertaken.\n\nFSD is huge for Tesla, and being first in true full self-driving technology could create a lot of value for the stock—which closed up 4.8% Friday at $709.44 per share. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas projects Tesla’s software and mobility business could be worth more than $300 billion. FSD’s newness and importance to Tesla are two more reasons Musk should consider upgrading the PR function.\nAnother reason is more basic: Tesla has become a huge organization. “He can’t be everywhere for everybody all the time …it can’t just be a one man dog and pony,” Susan Donahue, the co-founder and managing partner of the PR firm Skyya Communications, tells Barron’s.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP

We get 70% of the population vaccinated, then all the fundamentals are there for good, strong growth that we left back in January, February of 2020,” he said. “We’ve still got room to catch up to where we were. We’re making up for lost ground.”‘No reason to be pulling the plug’The economy officially entered recession in February 2020, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which makes the official call on contractions and expansions. While the U.S. is poised for another quarter of strong growth, gross domestic product is still running a bit below where it was prior to the Covid-19 onset.That’s part of the reason Waller concurs with his fellow central bankers in seeingthe need to keep policy loose. The Fed is currently holding short-term borrowing rates near zero while it purchases at least $120 billion of bonds each month.In a major policy shift last year, the Fed pledged that it will not raise rates until it sees full and inclusive employment, and is willing to tolerate inflation a bit above the traditional 2% target until it gets there. Fed officials have expressed concern about the uneven nature of the recovery, particularly regarding those at the lower end of the income spectrum.“We’ve got to make that up first,” Waller said. “Other parts of the economy seem to have really come back. We still have relatively high unemployment rates, particularly for minorities, and so we’ve still got a long way to go. There’s no reason to be pulling the plug on our support till we’re really through this.”Waller added that he thinks inflationary pressures that have begun to show up are likely temporary, a view widely held at the Fed. The consumer price index rose 2.6% in March from a year ago.Waller said he expects the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge based on personal consumption expenditures could run around 2.5% for 2021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":65,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127127412,"gmtCreate":1624840652136,"gmtModify":1703845805669,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Should we buy and keep first?","listText":"Should we buy and keep first?","text":"Should we buy and keep first?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/127127412","repostId":"1133201828","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133201828","pubTimestamp":1624839570,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133201828?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 08:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Brookfield Unit Signs $5 Billion Deal for TDR-Backed Modulaire","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133201828","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- A unit of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. agreed to acquire Modulaire Group, the Eur","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- A unit of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. agreed to acquire Modulaire Group, the European designer of modular work spaces backed by buyout firm TDR Capital, for about $5 billion, beating out interest from rival Canadian investment firm Onex Corp.</p>\n<p>“We look forward to bringing our global scale and capabilities in owning and operating leading infrastructure services businesses to support Modulaire’s growth, in partnership with the management team,” Anuj Ranjan, managing partner of Brookfield Business Partners LP, said in a statement Sunday.</p>\n<p>Bloomberg News reported the parties were closing in on the deal earlier, citing people familiar with the matter.</p>\n<p>The deal ranks among the biggest private equity transactions in Europe this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Over the past two-plus decades, the company has grown at a rapid pace into an ecommerce juggernaut that is a fixture in the Chinese consumer economy, and burgeoning tech investments that include fintech, cloud computing, media, and other AI-powered ventures. Is the stock a buy, hold, or sell right now? Let's take a closer look at the business to find out.</p><p><b>Strong Moat-Powered Growth</b></p><p>BABA continues to post strong growth numbers as its competitive advantages continue to grow stronger.</p><p>The company grew revenues in its most recent quarter by an incredible 64% year-over-year (40% organic growth) and posted strong guidance for FY2022. Furthermore, BABA appears poised to generate mid-to-high teens revenue growth over the next several years as its growth is broad-based and being driven by several organic factors including user growth (which is especially important as this strengthens their network effect moat), increased spending per customer (making their existing network more valuable), and rising online consumption in BABA's markets (which is good news for BABA since it owns a very strong digital presence).</p><p>The reason we are confident that BABA will continue to capture a growing share of China's rising middle class and e-commerce habits is that the company's internet services already touch the vast majority of online users in China. Given that BABA's marketplace is already so large, it essentially forces merchants and buyers into their ecosystem if they wish to succeed, which in turn gives BABA significant pricing power. Additionally, with so much exposure to China's online habits, BABA has an enormous data advantage over its competition which, in an age where A.I.-powered advertising algorithms are increasingly determining winners and losers in online commerce, gives it a decisive edge.</p><p>Looking longer term, BABA's determination to expand as a major player outside of China will likely give it enormous additional avenues of growth where it should be fairly well-positioned to compete as it uses its massive data bank from the Chinese market to give it a running start in foreign markets. That said, cultural and shopping tastes do differ across the globe, so BABA will still have to adapt and learn new approaches to gain market share in foreign markets, making these growth ambitions a bit more uncertain than their existing China business. One of the ways that China has tried to get around this hurdle is by acquiring stakes in foreign ecommerce businesses and then using their in-house expertise to improve the business in that market. An example of this is their controlling stake in Lazada, which operates in Southeast Asian economies like Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.</p><p>BABA also owns its own logistics business, enabling it to exercise greater control over its product supply chain and improve margins while its cloud business - AliCloud - is another strong growth and free cash flow generating business that will grow as China's economy becomes increasingly digitized as part of the Chinese Government's strong drive to make the country A.I. focused.</p><p><b>Fortress Balance Sheet</b></p><p>BABA also boasts a stellar balance sheet, as indicated by its A+ credit rating from S&amp;P. The company's latest quarterly filing indicated that cash and short term investments on the balance sheet had swelled to an incredible $73.8 billion. With long-term debt of just $20.7 billion, BABA has an incredibly conservative balance sheet. Their EBITDA/Interest coverage ratio is also very strong at 30x.</p><p>With so much cash on hand, strong access to capital via their A+ credit rating and a wide-moat business model, BABA is in a great position to buy back shares and/or invest aggressively to further grow and strengthen the business and position itself for long-term success.</p><p><b>Dirt-Cheap Valuation</b></p><p>Despite its incredible business and balance sheet strength, interest rates being near all-time lows, and stock indexes near all-time highs, BABA is trading at a remarkable discount, down significantly from all-time highs reached last fall:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8cd485d2f524e7c71bc003e17766a97\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The stock looks even cheaper when viewed on a price-to-earnings basis:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/041a92e68b2c8590a128a1db61abd0f0\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>By way of comparison, BABA's nearest peer in the U.S. would be considered Amazon (AMZN) and it trades at 61.33 times earnings, which many consider to be reasonable, if not cheap:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeccbb1c56ff9c290c09f8f5e53e360b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>As a result, BABA is only trading at 40% of AMZN's valuation despite possessing a business model that is comparable in strength and operating in an economy that is growing at a much faster rate than AMZN is.</p><p>Furthermore, BABA's forward price-to-earnings ratio is much cheaper at a mere 19.5. Even that might be understating how cheap they truly are, however, as their massive cash pile could easily be deployed to buy back shares and/or invest in new cash flowing businesses that would drive the P/E ratio even lower.</p><p>Clearly, we aren't alone in our thinking that BABA looks dirt cheap: Charlie Munger's Daily Journal&nbsp;recently added&nbsp;it to their high-conviction portfolio. Not only that, but they clearly have enormous conviction in the company as it takes up nearly 20% of their portfolio, making it their third-largest holding.</p><p><b>Significant Risks</b></p><p>That said, while Mr. Market does grossly misprice stocks all the time, he is not stupid and always has a good reason for discounting the stocks that he does even if he ends up being proven wrong. In the case of BABA, these reasons include:</p><ul><li>BABA is not unchallenged in its Chinese e-commerce growth. Rising challenges from major competitors like JD.com (JD) and Pinduoduo (PDD) already rival BABA's marketplace in many respects. For example, PDD's active buyers in 2020 exceeded BABA's by 9 million, implying that - at least by some metrics - BABA's network advantage is not unassailable.</li><li>Founder Jack Ma has&nbsp;recently run afoul&nbsp;of the Chinese Communist Party due to some less-than supportive comments about its regulatory practices. In addition to the negative press, his financial interests have also paid the price, beginning with Ant Financial's IPO gettingcancelled by regulatorsand the company as a whole getting examined for it leveraging its enormous size and data advantage to engage in anti-competitive practices. The CCP appears bent on making an example of Jack Ma and, while&nbsp;recently announced&nbsp;anti-trust penalties of $2.75 billion are a mere slap on the wrist when compared with BABA's massive business size and cash pile, it may not be the end of the government's meddling with BABA.</li></ul><ul><li>Adding on to this, as the 2017 documentary film&nbsp;<i>The China Hustle</i>&nbsp;pointed out, Chinese balance sheets are not subject to the same scrutiny and audit measures as U.S. companies. As a result, it is possible that BABA is overstating its cash pile and/or its growth numbers. While we know enough to be assured of the fact that BABA is indeed an ecommerce and tech giant in China and not a fake company like many of those portrayed in the aforementioned film, it is still quite possible that BABA is not as cheap as it appears on paper. As fellow Seeking Alpha contributor Julian Lin pointed out in his&nbsp;insightful piece:</li></ul><blockquote><i>The stock is obviously undervalued. Yet does the company itself think so? Typically when a stock is so undervalued, the company would aggressively repurchase its own stock, especially when it generates as much free cash flow as BABA does. Yet BABA has not meaningfully repurchased shares ... The lack of action should not be ignored ... BABA management might not think its stock is undervalued, which would arguably be a red flag considering the stock is so obviously undervalued to the rest of Wall Street.</i></blockquote><ul><li>Last, but not least, China is facing an&nbsp;impending demographic crisis: its decades-long and recently abandoned \"One Child\" policy has now pushed its population into what appears to be decline along with a lopsided shifting of the population to where the working age Chinese face an unsustainable burden of supporting elderly retired people. The full impacts of this are unknown, but they do not bode well for the medium-to-long-term of the Chinese economy, nor for political stability in the country.</li></ul><p><b>Investor Takeaway</b></p><p>With all that said, BABA seems to be a very confusing stock: on one hand, it appears to be a slam dunk strong buy with all the blocks checked: wide moat and well-diversified business model, strong growth momentum and lengthy growth runway, fortress balance sheet, very attractive valuation, and the endorsement of one of history's greatest investors in Charlie Munger.</p><p>On the other hand, Chinese regulators' hands are all over this company right now and we are unsure if there are any more major blows headed BABA's way. Furthermore, its founder has fallen from grace in Chinese society just as e-commerce competition is increasing in the country. Meanwhile, management is not exactly voicing significant confidence in the stock by failing to buy back meaningful sums of shares and geopolitical risks from China's emerging demographic crisis and increasingly bellicose rhetoric and collision course with the U.S. and its Asia-Pacific allies only heighten the investment risks here.</p><p>As a result, we view the stock as a speculative buy as Charlie Munger's investment here helps to allay some of our concerns. That said, we feel uncomfortable holding the stock ourselves given that the risks are of a nature that we cannot justify or fully quantify. For investors who do feel comfortable with them, there is a high probability that BABA presents very attractive risk-adjusted return potential here and, barring a major war or economic crisis in China emerging in the near future, should deliver strong returns relative to the broader U.S. stock indexes as current prices.</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>Alibaba: Is The Reward Worth The Risk?</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\">\nAlibaba: Is The Reward Worth The Risk?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-18 15:09 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryBABA is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.The business continues to post strong growth numbers and looks deeply undervalued.That said, the company has been plagued by negative...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429094-alibaba-is-the-reward-worth-the-risk","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1165590108","content_text":"SummaryBABA is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.The business continues to post strong growth numbers and looks deeply undervalued.That said, the company has been plagued by negative headlines.Is the stock a buy, hold, or sell right now?Photo by David Becker/Getty Images News via Getty ImagesAlibaba (BABA) is one of the world's great e-commerce and tech giants.

The company plans to sell at least 25 million shares and have about 360 million shares outstanding, which would trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker “APP.”</p>\n<p>The Palo Alto, Calif., company, which will be a decade old in July, makes marketing, monetization and analytics software that helps app developers grow their businesses. It also owns a portfolio of more than 200 free-to-play mobile games with in-app purchases. The expected valuation of AppLovin dwarfs that of a recent comparable IPO, Unity Software Inc.,which was valued at&nbsp;nearly $14 billion&nbsp;at the time of its IPO in September.</p>\n<p>In its Securities and Exchange Commission filing, AppLovin said it sees a total market opportunity of about $189 billion, with $101 billion of that in in-app advertising revenue and about $88 billion in worldwide direct-game spending, citing IDC 2020 figures. AppLovin expects that market opportunity to grow to $283 billion by 2024.</p>\n<p>Here are five things to know about AppLovin.</p>\n<p><b>The cost of business more than doubled, and Apple and Google are a reason</b></p>\n<p>AppLovin said it took in $1.45 billion in revenue in 2020, resulting in a loss of $125.9 million, versus 2019 revenue of $994.1 million and net income of $119 million. In 2018, the company booked revenue of $483.4 million for a loss of $260 million.</p>\n<p>The big cost hike in 2020 versus 2019 was a 130% jump in cost-of-business expenses to $555.6 million, with $112 million of it due to payment-processing fees. Those payment-processing fees are the same kind that&nbsp;Epic Games balked about&nbsp;paying to Apple Inc.’s&nbsp;App Store and Alphabet Inc.’s&nbsp;Google Play store, that ran as high as 30% of purchases.</p>\n<p>“The mobile-app ecosystem depends in part on a relatively small number of third-party distribution platforms, such as the Apple App Store, the Google Play store, and Facebook, some of which are direct competitors,” AppLovin said in its S-1. “We derive significant revenue from the distribution of our apps through these third-party platforms and almost all of our [in-app purchases] are made through the payment processing systems of these third-party platforms.”</p>\n<p><b>Nearly a quarter of proceeds will go to pay down debt</b></p>\n<p>AppLovin estimates it stands to bring in net proceeds of about $1.74 billion if it prices at the mid-point of its range.</p>\n<p>Of that, the company said it plans to use about $400 million to pay off debt under its revolving credit facility. Currently, AppLovin lists $1.6 billion in debt.</p>\n<p>“Additionally, we expect to use a portion of the net proceeds to enter into strategic acquisitions and partnerships,” AppLovin said. “However, other than our pending acquisition of Adjust, we do not have definitive agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or partnerships at this time.”</p>\n<p><b>Acquisitions are part of its growth strategy</b></p>\n<p>Most recently, AppLovin announced plans to acquire Germany-based mobile-app measurement and marketing company Adjust. While AppLovin did not disclose terms of the deal, Crunchbase estimated the price at $1 billion.</p>\n<p>The company did state in its S-1 that it has “invested over $1&nbsp;billion across 15 strategic acquisitions and partnerships” since the beginning of 2018.</p>\n<p>AppLovin acquired mobile-game developer Machine Zone Inc. last May for an undisclosed amount, although Crunchbase estimated the deal at $500 million.</p>\n<p>That follows acquisitions of software development kit-management platform&nbsp;SafeDK in 2019, in-app header bidding company Max Inc. in 2018, and Germany-based mobile-ad network&nbsp;Moqoqo in 2014.</p>\n<p>“We will continue to explore and evaluate additional acquisitions, some of which may be the same size or even larger in scale and investment than the Machine Zone acquisition and our pending acquisition of Adjust,” the company said.</p>\n<p><b>KKR has the lion’s share of voting control</b></p>\n<p>The company plans to offer Class A shares in the IPO, which carry one vote, while early investors’ Class B shares will carry 20 votes. AppLovin has raised $1.4 billion in funding from investors, according to Crunchbase.</p>\n<p>Holding the reins will be KKR Denali Holdings, which will hold 72.4% of Class B shares after the offering, for 67.4% of the voting power. Other Class B shareholders include Applovin Chief Executive and co-founder Adam Foroughi, who will own 19.4% of the Class B shares with 18.1% voting rights, and Chief Financial Officer Herald Chen, with 3.2% of the Class B shares and 3% of voting rights.</p>\n<p>The company will also establish a nonvoting class of shares, though those shares do not yet exist.</p>\n<p><b>Attempt to sell to Chinese firm failed, and KKR stepped in</b></p>\n<p>If it wasn’t for U.S. concerns about investments in strategic assets from China, KKR may have never got involved and AppLovin would not have gone public.</p>\n<p>In September 2016, AppLovin agreed to be acquired outright by Chinese private-equity firm Orient Hontai Capital for&nbsp;$1.4 billion. A little over a year later, that deal was scrapped — reportedly after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States pushed back on the deal over customer data concerns — and&nbsp;AppLovin agreed to take an $841 million debt investment&nbsp;from Orient Hontai. Prior to that deal, Orient Hontai had invested $140 million in the company; currently, Orient Hontai owns 26.2 million Class A shares.</p>\n<p>In July 2018, KKR &amp; Co. invested $400 million for a minority stake in AppLovin of roughly 110 million shares. At the suggested IPO price, that $400 million investment would be worth more than $8 billion.</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>AppLovin IPO: 5 things to know about the software company seeking a $30 billion valuation</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\">\nAppLovin IPO: 5 things to know about the software company seeking a $30 billion valuation\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-12 11:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns its own portfolio of mobile games\n\nAppLovin Inc. is shooting for a valuation of more than $30 ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"APP":"AppLovin Corporation"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1176099988","content_text":"Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns its own portfolio of mobile games\n\nAppLovin Inc. is shooting for a valuation of more than $30 billion as the app-software company set terms for its initial public offering in its bid to catch a sizable piece of a $200 billion mobile app market.\nOn last Wednesday, AppLovin named a price range for its shares of $75 to $85 apiece, a price that could value the company at more than $30 billion.

Prior to that deal, Orient Hontai had invested $140 million in the company; currently, Orient Hontai owns 26.2 million Class A shares.\nIn July 2018, KKR & Co. invested $400 million for a minority stake in AppLovin of roughly 110 million shares. At the suggested IPO price, that $400 million investment would be worth more than $8 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886733425,"gmtCreate":1631624658667,"gmtModify":1676530592578,"author":{"id":"3574457923416240","authorId":"3574457923416240","name":"JTLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4cd2e21996d37297b06b32df8d66b04","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574457923416240","authorIdStr":"3574457923416240"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy buy","listText":"buy buy","text":"buy buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/886733425","repostId":"2167555852","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167555852","pubTimestamp":1631623774,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2167555852?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-14 20:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The 1 FAANG Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167555852","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This technology company has grown steadily over the years and holds the promise for more amazing discoveries in the future.","content":"<p>Investors are probably familiar with FAANG stocks by now, seeing how these five companies -- <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b>, <b>Amazon</b>, <b>Apple</b>, <b>Netflix</b>, and <b>Alphabet </b>(NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) -- have powered the <b>Nasdaq</b> index to all-time highs in the last decade. The prominence of these five technology companies cannot be overstated, and even during the pandemic, the FAANG fivesome has been responsible for pushing the technology index to a new all-time high.</p>\n<p>But if there's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> stock among the five that you should be thinking of buying today, it's Alphabet. Originally known as Google, or the \"G\" in the FAANG acronym, the company changed its name in 2015 to signify that it is far from a conventional business. Although Google is still a core part of Alphabet, the company is made up of a collection of disparate businesses that explore different technologies and industries.</p>\n<p>The above, as well as the fact that Alphabet is churning out superb numbers, are good reasons why you should not hesitate to scoop up shares of this internet giant.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84179534e131c393845805fc8c38a4ed\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A growing cash machine</h2>\n<p>Alphabet's financial performance is impressive, which explains why the stock has nearly doubled in the past year alone. Revenue started at $90.3 billion in 2016 and more than doubled to $182.5 billion by 2020, while net income jumped from $19.5 billion to $40.3 billion over the same period. Moreover, capital spending has remained fairly constant even as operating cash flow increased, leading to higher levels of free cash flow for the business over the last several years.</p>\n<p>The company has shown that it can still grow rapidly, with its fiscal 2021 second-quarter revenue surging by 62% year over year. Increased technology adoption and digitalization were important factors that contributed to the rise, but Alphabet was already on a steady growth trajectory even before the pandemic broke out. Net income for the quarter more than doubled year over year to $18.5 billion, and the company's half-year net income of $36.5 billion has already exceeded the net income for the whole of 2019.</p>\n<h2>A culture of continuous improvement</h2>\n<p>The great thing about Alphabet is not only its financial numbers, but how the company strives to better the lives of all of us in myriad ways. The pandemic has highlighted just how innovative the company has been, as teams at Google launched more than 200 new products and features. A COVID-19 layer was also added to Google Maps to show information on cases to help people to plan their travel routes, and Google Meet, the company's videoconferencing software, was made free for anyone with a Gmail account.</p>\n<p>CEO Sundar Pichai offered a glimpse into new products and systems on the company's latest earnings conference call. A new artificial intelligence system called Lambda, with natural conversation capabilities, can help to make communication and computing more accessible to everyone. The upcoming version 12 of Android seeks to improve speed and power efficiency and can also personalize devices. while YouTube Shorts, a short-form video format similar to the popular TikTok, has been rolled out in more than 100 countries worldwide and has garnered more than 15 billion daily views.</p>\n<p>Alphabet is also investing $10 billion over the next five years to strengthen cybersecurity, as this is now a critical area of focus for many companies and governments. And let's not forget that the technology behemoth also has an \"Other Bets\" division that makes ambitious investments in new technology such as self-driving cars and healthcare data analytics.</p>\n<p>That's just a quick snapshot of Alphabet's biggest headlines in recent weeks. It would take a book to cover everything.</p>\n<h2>The allure of moonshots</h2>\n<p>At the heart of Alphabet's culture are \"moonshots,\" which help the business to branch out into adjacent or new technologies and nurture them into mature, thriving businesses. Essentially, the company is not interested in making just incremental changes to its products and services but is focused on looking for revolutionary change that can bring technology to a new level.</p>\n<p>As such, the company will not shy away from high-risk projects and encourages a culture of innovation that could see it discovering groundbreaking new technologies that could power the future. This, in essence, is what makes the future so exciting for an investor in Alphabet.</p>\n<h2>A long growth runway</h2>\n<p>The great news is that the company still has a long growth runway in front of it. Digital advertisement spending, for which Google's share was close to 29% of the U.S. market last year, grew 12.2% year over year in 2020 and shows signs of additional expansion.</p>\n<p>Alphabet continues to invest in new technologies and is also constantly improving its cloud services, search engine, and other features.
