Rather, it's retail investors.</p>\n<p>Beginning in mid-January, retail investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets chatroom began banding together to buy shares and call options in stocks with very high levels of short interest. The goal of this strategy was to effect a short squeeze -- i.e., an event where short-sellers (pessimists) flee for the exit all at once, which can cause a rising share price to skyrocket higher.</p>\n<p>Quite a few of the stocks targeted by the Reddit community moved higher, with video game and accessories retailer <b>GameStop</b>&nbsp;representing the face of the retail movement.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9be53e57590b1343cdbc68172a0bac01\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Bad news: Many of the most popular Reddit stocks are extremely pricey</h3>\n<p>But after three months of retail investors attempting to exert their influence in the market, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> thing has become crystal clear: Their assessment of what's \"cheap\" doesn't make a lot of sense.</p>\n<p>After perusing various social media sites, I've come across three ultra-popular Reddit stocks that the retail investment community believes are cheap or undervalued: movie-theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC), Canadian marijuana stock <b>Sundial Growers</b> (NASDAQ:SNDL), and clinical-stage veterinary drug and diagnostics company <b>Zomedica</b> (NYSEMKT:ZOM).</p>\n<p>While many of the reasons behind their supposed cheapness varies from company to company, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the few constants I've witnessed is the argument that their current share prices are significantly lower than their all-time highs. As of the closing bell on Monday, April 12, a share of AMC, Sundial, and Zomedica could be respectively purchased for $8.62, $0.93, and $1.12.</p>\n<p>For some context here, AMC shares traded north of $35 in late 2016. Meanwhile, Sundial and Zomedica have traded as high as $12 and $3, respectively, within the past couple of years.</p>\n<p>The issue with this argument is that share price alone provides no context into a company's relative valuation without taking outstanding shares into account.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9a9b323ff30faa3ac6ab8223b047381\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"461\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>For example, when AMC Entertainment's share price topped $35 in late 2016, its market cap neared, but never crossed, the $4 billion market-cap threshold. Today, with AMC's share price at $8.62, it boasts a market cap of close to $4.3 billion.</p>\n<p>Put another way, its share price has declined by around 75% since late 2016, but its market cap has grown by roughly 15%, all because the company's outstanding share count has ballooned higher. In reality, AMC has been historically <i>pricier</i> over the past two months than at any other time in its publicly traded history.</p>\n<p>The same can be said for Sundial. Shortly after it became a public company, shares of Sundial hit $12, equating to a $1.1 billion market cap. Today, shares of Sundial are going for $0.93, yet the market cap is around $1.54 billion.</p>\n<p>In less than two years, Sundial's share count has grown from less than 100 million to 1.66 billion outstanding. As a result, it's a pricier company now, at less than $1 a share, than it was when it had a $12 share price.</p>\n<p>To round things out, the same is true for Zomedica. In June 2018, when the company's share price quickly jumped to about $3, its market cap hit approximately $275 million. Today, with a $1.12 share price, Zomedica's market cap is nearly four times as high ($1.08 billion). In less than three years, Zomedica's outstanding share count has rocketed from a little over 90 million to 947.3 million. At no point in its history has Zomedica been this pricey.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7820c1f47b166de46066a8218fa6556\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>More bad news: They're fundamental and/or balance sheet disasters, too</h3>\n<p>To make matters worse, it's not just that retail investors are bypassing a company's outstanding share count when making a determination if it's cheap. They're also overlooking some very serious operating or balance sheet flaws.</p>\n<p>For instance, Zomedica was a clinical-stage company until the first commercial sale of its Truforma diagnostics system for companion animals in mid-March. Although Zomedica now has plenty of cash to fund its research for years to come, it's a billion-dollar stock that began generating revenue less than a month ago. This would seem to be an extremely aggressive valuation for a company that's nowhere near profitability.</p>\n<p>As for Sundial Growers, it has plenty of cash -- $719 million Canadian, or $572 million U.S. -- but its management team has no concrete plans how to use it. What's more, the company recently authorized an at-the-market program that could see another $800 million worth of shares sold. After issuing 1.15 billion shares in five months, Sundial isn't quite done pummeling its investors. And the icing on the cake is that the company is one of the slowest-growing in the cannabis space.</p>\n<p>Lastly, there's AMC, which I've argued is the most dangerous Reddit stock of all. Whereas Zomedica and Sundial each have a sizable net cash position, AMC is sitting on $11 billion in convertible and non-convertible debt. By 2026, $7.2 billion of this debt comes due, $6 billion of which can't be converted into shares. With the company unlikely to be profitable for years and strangled by its debt, it'll need shareholders to authorize a huge increase in its outstanding share count next month to have any chance at long-term survival.</p>\n<p>The point I'm trying to make is this: Operating results and balance sheets always matter. Getting too focused on one metric (short interest) while blatantly ignoring operating or balance sheet red flags can lead to disaster.</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>If You Think AMC, Sundial, and Zomedica Are Cheap, I Have Bad News</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\">\nIf You Think AMC, Sundial, and Zomedica Are Cheap, I Have Bad News\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-16 19:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/16/if-you-think-amc-sundial-zomedica-cheap-bad-news/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For the past three months, it's not the pandemic that's been creating all the buzz on Wall Street.

The company had filed its S-1 Registration Statement back in November, and it showed phenomenal growth driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many people to stay home and bolstered demand for home entertainment options.</p>\n<p>Roblox is comparable to Minecraft, which <b>Microsoft </b>acquired in 2014, in that it is a broad gaming platform that fosters creativity and caters overwhelmingly to young children. After the exchange set a reference price of $45, which is specific to direct listings and mostly serves as historical context to investors as opposed to the offering price in an IPO, the stock promptly sprinted out of the gate.

The company had filed its S-1 Registration Statement back in November, and it showed phenomenal growth driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many people to stay home and bolstered demand for home entertainment options.\nRoblox is comparable to Minecraft, which Microsoft acquired in 2014, in that it is a broad gaming platform that fosters creativity and caters overwhelmingly to young children. After the exchange set a reference price of $45, which is specific to direct listings and mostly serves as historical context to investors as opposed to the offering price in an IPO, the stock promptly sprinted out of the gate. Could Roblox be a top performer in 2021?\nImage source: Roblox.\nSurging engagement during COVID-19\nRoblox's prospectus now includes financial information for the fourth quarter and full-year 2020. As one might expect, the business continued to enjoy strong growth to close out the year. There are three core operating metrics for investors to watch: daily active users (DAUs), hours engaged, and average bookings per DAU (ABPDAU).\n\n\n\nMetric\n2018\n2019\n2020\n\n\n\n\nDAUs\n12 million\n17.62 million\n32.59 million\n\n\nHours engaged\n9.43 billion\n13.65 billion\n30.6 billion\n\n\nABPDAU\n$41.53\n$39.40\n$57.77\n\n\n\nData source: Prospectus.\nHours engaged dipped slightly in the fourth quarter on a sequential basis, from 8.7 billion to 8.4 billion, but ABPDAU ticked higher to a record $17.30. Roblox notes that monetization tends to be very seasonal, with more users typically buying digital currency (Robux) and virtual goods over the holiday season.\nIn terms of financial results, revenue soared by 82% last year to $923.9 million, while bookings surged 171% to $1.9 billion in 2020.

FRANCISCO (AFP) - The Roblox game world that has won over children around the world and became a pandemic hit scored big on Wall Street on Wednesday (March 10), as newly-listed shares surged.\nThe company's shares listed under the symbol RBLX on the New York Stock Exchange closed the trading day up 54 per cent to US$69.50, from a reference price of US$45 as part of so-called direct listing.\nThat gave the gaming platform and pandemic star a valuation of some US$40 billion (S$53.75 billion).\n\"We are deeply humbled by the overwhelming support for @Roblox and our public offering today,\" co-founder and chief executive David \"Builderman\" Baszucki said in a tweet.\n\"We recognise the potential ahead of us: to build the platform where billions of people come together to learn, work, and play.\"\nWith its Lego-like avatars and easy-to-learn coding for budding programmers, the online gaming app has become a thriving clubhouse for young gamers, most of them no older than 16.\nBy late last year, more than 31 million users daily were diving into Roblox on mobile, desktop, or console devices and cumulatively spending billions of hours there, according to the Silicon Valley based company.\n\"In an incredibly challenging year, Roblox became a crucial place for people to come together,\" Mr Baszucki said in a blog post.\nEvents that moved to Roblox virtual environs included birthday parties, get-togethers, graduation ceremonies, and company meetings.\nKids log on to the mobile app after school to guide their avatars through obstacle courses full of pitfalls, escape from jail, dive into a treasure hunt or even to build their own adventure park Big name brands and musicians have also taken to Roblox and its vision of a \"metaverse\" online world where people can freely express themselves.\nWarner Brothers and DC created a Wonder Woman game on Roblox to promote a new film with that super hero.\nUS Rapper Lil Nas X, staged a concert experience there, Mr Baszucki noted.\n\"And we're just scratching the surface,\" Mr Baszucki said.\n\"We see a future where tens of thousands of people can gather in a single instance to join a virtual business conference, attend a movie premiere, or watch their favorite artists perform live.\"\nGoing Direct\nBy opting to go public as a direct listing, like companies such as Spotify, Slack and Palantir have done, Roblox did not issue new shares on the exchange and therefore did not raise capital.\nInstead existing shareholders - such as founders, employees and initial investors - will be able to sell their portions on the market.\nThe platform allows users to create their own video games and gives them a share of related revenue.\nIt counted close to 33 million daily players in 2020, and revenue soared 82 per cent to US$924 million.\nBut the company founded in 2004 has yet to post a profit, due to the expenses on tech infrastructure, data protection and paying game makers.\nRoblox said it hired nearly 400 new employees in 2020, growing to 979 people, and that it bought an artificial intelligence startup with technology that can help it make avatars and scenes more realistic looking.\n\"Our vision has always been to simulate the physical world, both visually as well as physically,\" Mr Baszucki said.\nRoblox is available in over 180 countries and 11 different languages, growing fastest outside of North America, according to Mr Baszucki.\nCombining social networking and fresh supplies of new games has proven an addictive formula for children, but it will likely be years before Roblox turns profitable, according to analyst Boris Schlossberg of 60SecondInvestor.com.\n\"With Covid risk now starting to recede and the world returning to more physical activities can Roblox hold on to its base of users and expand into new markets beyond gaming?\" Mr Schlossberg asked rhetorically.\n\"The company has been the star of the pandemic and investors are hoping that like a supernova it will continue to shine for many years forward.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320789345,"gmtCreate":1615177299087,"gmtModify":1704779147700,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"roblox?

Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress</p>\n<p><b>Cryptocurrencies</b>have and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?</p>\n<p>According to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.</p>\n<p>Top Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: FTFT)</li>\n <li><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: RIOT)</li>\n <li><b>SOS Limited</b>(NYSE: SOS)</li>\n <li><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MSTR)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b></p>\n<p>For starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.</p>\n<p>If anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.</p>\n<p>Notably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?</p>\n<p><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Just last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.</p>\n<p>Moreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?</p>\n<p><b>SOS Limited</b></p>\n<p>SOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.</p>\n<p>In terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?</p>\n<p><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Another cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Diving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.</p>\n<p>According to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark. This paired with its apparent move towards building a blockchain analytics team could bode well for MSTR stock moving forward.

Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress\nCryptocurrencieshave and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?\nAccording to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.\nTop Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.(NASDAQ: FTFT)\nRiot Blockchain Inc.(NASDAQ: RIOT)\nSOS Limited(NYSE: SOS)\nMicroStrategy Inc.(NASDAQ: MSTR)\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.\nFor starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.\nIf anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.\nNotably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?\nRiot Blockchain Inc.\nFollowing that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.\nJust last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.\nMoreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?\nSOS Limited\nSOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.\nIn terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.\nFurthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?\nMicroStrategy Inc.\nAnother cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.\nDiving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.\nAccording to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark. This paired with its apparent move towards building a blockchain analytics team could bode well for MSTR stock moving forward.

Of course, the entire reasoning behind the rise in activity was due to \"stimulus.\"</p>\n<blockquote>\n \"In a note to clients, JPM's chief economist Michael Feroli made the following forecast revisions:\n</blockquote>\n<p>The statement quickly lays out the premise of the \"rush and crash\" syndrome.</p>\n<p>The chart below shows annual real GDP growth rates from 2008 to the present. The surge in GDP in 2021 is a continuation of the \"sugar rush\" of monetary interventions. However, notice economic growth \"crashes\" back to annual norms in 2022.</p>\n<p>The dashed black line is the average annual growth of GDP from 2007 at just 1.7%. (Without the addition of JPMorgan's estimates, the actual growth rate through 2020 was only 1.3%).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9629eb53dc18f1655fe49df3259efb8e\" tg-width=\"913\" tg-height=\"525\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>For reference, a rate of growth below 2% isn't strong enough to absorb population growth.</p>\n<blockquote>\n (Note: Prior to 2000, an economic growth rate of 2% was considered \"pre-recessionary.\" In order to justify excess spending and Government interventions, 2% growth is now considered a \"success\" of policy.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>It's All Been Artificial</b></p>\n<p>Here is the more significant issue. The vast majority of the growth in the U.S. over the last decade was due to a variety of artificial inputs which are not indefinitely sustainable. From increasing federal expenditures:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2516f49b7c1565d8d1451ce1c82f702d\" tg-width=\"912\" tg-height=\"525\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>And a litany of \"bailouts,\" which are a function of increased debts and deficits and massive monetary interventions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/724349a20ecbb1ec296a5399d6d3472e\" tg-width=\"910\" tg-height=\"521\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>While the economy may have \"appeared\" to grow during this period, economic growth would have been \"negative\" without debt increases. The chart below shows what economic growth would be without the increases in Federal debt.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/254442d01aca7a78e94a8ad57f5a3c8c\" tg-width=\"885\" tg-height=\"520\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Such is why, after more than a decade of monetary and fiscal interventions totaling more than$37 trillionand counting, the economy remains on \"life support.\"</p>\n<p>(It required roughly $12 in support to generate $1 of economic growth.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/245086ab1ba07a40241fb1b03a647762\" tg-width=\"894\" tg-height=\"476\"></p>\n<p>While the claims of a robust economy rely heavily upon a surge in consumer spending, it is a mirage of the increase in \"social benefits.\"</p>\n<p><b>Real Incomes Not Improving</b></p>\n<p>A significant problem with a bulk of the analysis put out by mainstream economists, and the media is that it often fails to examine the underlying causes. An excellent example has been that consumer incomes are surging, which will support the economic \"sugar rush.\" A look at the chart below would undoubtedly suggest that to be true.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/209cc9c414434eee3f179dfde40d0155\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"490\"></p>\n<p>However, the reality is much less optimistic when you strip out \"government transfer payments.\" While the economy has rebounded, real disposable incomes remain below previous highs. Notably, of the next $1.9 trillion in stimulus, only roughly $900 billion flows to households. Such won't boost incomes markedly.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce655a76accf67d1d60c0b7f02242c1c\" tg-width=\"774\" tg-height=\"490\"></p>\n<p>The chart below shows the problem more clearly. As noted above, the \"real\" economic prosperity of household incomes has not improved markedly without government supports. Such is why, at roughly 2% economic growth, nearly 1-in-3 households are dependent on some form of government handout.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb264f1eabee006ba8d182a2162ad101\" tg-width=\"777\" tg-height=\"574\"></p>\n<p><b>A Surge In The \"Welfare Trap\"</b></p>\n<p>There is a massive disconnect between the \"stock market\" and the \"real economy.\" As we have discussed previously, the top10% of income earners own nearly 90%of the stock market.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd9a5efcc6666d6d4fd8861a0ceea4a\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"517\"></p>\n<p>For the bottom 80%, which drives the bulk of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), they continue to struggle to make ends meet. Such is why the dependency on social welfare now comprises one-third of total incomes. Other statistics are just as daunting.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>38 million Americans on food stamps</p></li>\n <li><p>According to the Census Bureau, an estimated 50% of the 330 million Americans get at least one federal benefit.</p></li>\n <li><p>An estimated 63 million get Social Security; 59.9 million get Medicare; 75 million get Medicaid; 5 million get housing subsidies, and 4 million get Veterans' benefits.</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Those numbers continue to rise.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e9a46308e827715af3777b1586ce189\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"491\"></p>\n<p>Without government largesse, many individuals would be living on the street. The chart above shows all the government \"welfare\" programs and current levels to date.</p>\n<p>The problem with \"stimulus programs\" is that you can see the immediate subsequent contraction once the benefit depletes. Since one-third of incomes dependent on government transfers, it is not surprising that the economy struggles as recycled tax dollars used for consumption purposes have virtually no impact on the overall economy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a11738fa36d2bea285ea86c1eb6b8b7a\" tg-width=\"779\" tg-height=\"490\"></p>\n<p>In fact, in the ongoing saga of the American economy's demise, U.S. households are now getting more in cash handouts from the government than they are paying in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression.</p>\n<p>Such occurs when the current administration remains enthralled with finding some universe where socialistic programs lead to sustainable economic growth.</p>\n<p>It doesn't.</p>\n<p>The Coming \"Crash\"</p>\n<p>As the stimulus hits consumers, they spend it rather quickly, which leads to a \"sugar rush\" of economic activity. Such as:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><p>Consumers use the funds to make either necessary or discretionary purchases creating demand.</p></li>\n <li><p>In anticipation of demand, companies boost \"inventories.\"</p></li>\n <li><p>The boost in \"inventory stocking\" boosts manufacturing metrics.</p></li>\n</ol>\n<p>We are seeing this currently as manufacturing and inventory metrics surge.</p>\n<p>As shown, the stimulus will lead to a short-term boost in PCE, which will correspond with increased economic growth. (PCE comprises nearly 70% of the calculation.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6516b0d8f4641bb54be6c447fd64a5af\" tg-width=\"791\" tg-height=\"479\"></p>\n<p>However, there is a \"dark side\" to stimulus-fueled activity.</p>\n<ol>\n <li><p>Since companies know the stimulus is \"temporary,\" they don't make long-term hiring and capital expenditure plans.</p></li>\n <li><p>The increase in activity leads to an inflationary rise that companies have difficulty passing on to consumers, ultimately reducing profit margins.</p></li>\n <li><p>Again, since companies know the stimulus is temporary, they opt for \"efficiencies,\" such as outsourcing and automation, to lower labor and production costs.</p></li>\n <li><p>After the stimulus gets depleted, consumers struggle with higher costs which further deteriorates their standard of living.</p></li>\n</ol>\n<p>Unless the Government is committed to a continuous stimulus, once the \"sugar rush\" fades, the economy will \"crash\" back to its organic state.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea0ad408722f4e7b0e53228cbd75e567\" tg-width=\"792\" tg-height=\"477\"></p>\n<p>The bottom line is that America can't grow its way back to prosperity on the back of social assistance. The average American is fighting to make ends meet as their living cost rises while wage growth remains stagnant.</p>\n<p><b>Deflation Set To Return</b></p>\n<p>That brings us to the hard truth.</p>\n<p>If we assume even the most optimistic economic outcome of the current stimulus bill, the reality is that economic growth will remain mired in its long-term downtrend.</p>\n<p>As the budget deficit grows over the next few years, interest payments alone will absorb a larger chunk of tax revenue. Such comes at a time when that same dollar of tax revenue only covers the entitlement spending of the 75 million baby boomers migrating into the social safety net.</p>\n<p>By the way, the only other time government income support exceeded taxes paid was during the \"Great Depression\" from 1931 to 1936.</p>\n<p>The debt problem remains a massive risk to monetary and fiscal policy. If rates rise, the negative impact on an indebted economy quickly depresses activity. More importantly, the decline in monetary velocity clearly shows that deflation is a persistent threat.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/383872d3c785e619d2a2d346e89a0175\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"569\"></p>\n<p><b>No Real Options</b></p>\n<p>There are no real options unless the system is allowed to reset painfully.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, given we now have a decade of experience of watching monetary experiments only succeed in creating a massive \"wealth gap,\" maybe we should consider the alternative.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, the Federal Reserve, and the Administration, will have to face hard choices to extricate the economy from the current\"liquidity trap.\"However, history shows that political leadership never makes hard choices until those choices get forced upon them.</p>\n<p>Most telling is the current economists' inability, who maintain our monetary and fiscal policies, to realize the problem of trying to \"cure a debt problem with more debt.\"</p>\n<p>The Keynesian view that \"more money in people's pockets\" will drive up consumer spending, with a boost to GDP being the result, has been wrong.

As every parent knows, giving a child too much \"sugar\" leads to a \"rush\" of energy. Then comes the crash, where you find them in some odd place taking a nap.\nThe Coming Economic \"Rush\"\nRecently, JPMorgan joined the rest of the Wall Street banks in predicting a surge in economic activity for 2021 of 6.4%. Of course, the entire reasoning behind the rise in activity was due to \"stimulus.\"\n\n \"In a note to clients, JPM's chief economist Michael Feroli made the following forecast revisions:\n\nThe statement quickly lays out the premise of the \"rush and crash\" syndrome.\nThe chart below shows annual real GDP growth rates from 2008 to the present. The surge in GDP in 2021 is a continuation of the \"sugar rush\" of monetary interventions. However, notice economic growth \"crashes\" back to annual norms in 2022.\nThe dashed black line is the average annual growth of GDP from 2007 at just 1.7%. (Without the addition of JPMorgan's estimates, the actual growth rate through 2020 was only 1.3%).\n\nFor reference, a rate of growth below 2% isn't strong enough to absorb population growth.\n\n (Note: Prior to 2000, an economic growth rate of 2% was considered \"pre-recessionary.\" In order to justify excess spending and Government interventions, 2% growth is now considered a \"success\" of policy.\"\n\nIt's All Been Artificial\nHere is the more significant issue. The vast majority of the growth in the U.S. over the last decade was due to a variety of artificial inputs which are not indefinitely sustainable. From increasing federal expenditures:\n\nAnd a litany of \"bailouts,\" which are a function of increased debts and deficits and massive monetary interventions.\n\nWhile the economy may have \"appeared\" to grow during this period, economic growth would have been \"negative\" without debt increases. The chart below shows what economic growth would be without the increases in Federal debt.\n\nSuch is why, after more than a decade of monetary and fiscal interventions totaling more than$37 trillionand counting, the economy remains on \"life support.\"\n(It required roughly $12 in support to generate $1 of economic growth.)\n\nWhile the claims of a robust economy rely heavily upon a surge in consumer spending, it is a mirage of the increase in \"social benefits.\"\nReal Incomes Not Improving\nA significant problem with a bulk of the analysis put out by mainstream economists, and the media is that it often fails to examine the underlying causes. An excellent example has been that consumer incomes are surging, which will support the economic \"sugar rush.\" A look at the chart below would undoubtedly suggest that to be true.\n\nHowever, the reality is much less optimistic when you strip out \"government transfer payments.\" While the economy has rebounded, real disposable incomes remain below previous highs. Notably, of the next $1.9 trillion in stimulus, only roughly $900 billion flows to households. Such won't boost incomes markedly.\n\nThe chart below shows the problem more clearly. As noted above, the \"real\" economic prosperity of household incomes has not improved markedly without government supports. Such is why, at roughly 2% economic growth, nearly 1-in-3 households are dependent on some form of government handout.\n\nA Surge In The \"Welfare Trap\"\nThere is a massive disconnect between the \"stock market\" and the \"real economy.\" As we have discussed previously, the top10% of income earners own nearly 90%of the stock market.\n\nFor the bottom 80%, which drives the bulk of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), they continue to struggle to make ends meet. Such is why the dependency on social welfare now comprises one-third of total incomes. Other statistics are just as daunting.\n\n38 million Americans on food stamps\nAccording to the Census Bureau, an estimated 50% of the 330 million Americans get at least one federal benefit.\nAn estimated 63 million get Social Security; 59.9 million get Medicare; 75 million get Medicaid; 5 million get housing subsidies, and 4 million get Veterans' benefits.\n\nThose numbers continue to rise.\n\nWithout government largesse, many individuals would be living on the street. The chart above shows all the government \"welfare\" programs and current levels to date.\nThe problem with \"stimulus programs\" is that you can see the immediate subsequent contraction once the benefit depletes. Since one-third of incomes dependent on government transfers, it is not surprising that the economy struggles as recycled tax dollars used for consumption purposes have virtually no impact on the overall economy.\n\nIn fact, in the ongoing saga of the American economy's demise, U.S. households are now getting more in cash handouts from the government than they are paying in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression.\nSuch occurs when the current administration remains enthralled with finding some universe where socialistic programs lead to sustainable economic growth.\nIt doesn't.\nThe Coming \"Crash\"\nAs the stimulus hits consumers, they spend it rather quickly, which leads to a \"sugar rush\" of economic activity. Such as:\n\nConsumers use the funds to make either necessary or discretionary purchases creating demand.\nIn anticipation of demand, companies boost \"inventories.\"\nThe boost in \"inventory stocking\" boosts manufacturing metrics.\n\nWe are seeing this currently as manufacturing and inventory metrics surge.\nAs shown, the stimulus will lead to a short-term boost in PCE, which will correspond with increased economic growth. (PCE comprises nearly 70% of the calculation.)\n\nHowever, there is a \"dark side\" to stimulus-fueled activity.\n\nSince companies know the stimulus is \"temporary,\" they don't make long-term hiring and capital expenditure plans.\nThe increase in activity leads to an inflationary rise that companies have difficulty passing on to consumers, ultimately reducing profit margins.\nAgain, since companies know the stimulus is temporary, they opt for \"efficiencies,\" such as outsourcing and automation, to lower labor and production costs.\nAfter the stimulus gets depleted, consumers struggle with higher costs which further deteriorates their standard of living.\n\nUnless the Government is committed to a continuous stimulus, once the \"sugar rush\" fades, the economy will \"crash\" back to its organic state.\n\nThe bottom line is that America can't grow its way back to prosperity on the back of social assistance. The average American is fighting to make ends meet as their living cost rises while wage growth remains stagnant.\nDeflation Set To Return\nThat brings us to the hard truth.\nIf we assume even the most optimistic economic outcome of the current stimulus bill, the reality is that economic growth will remain mired in its long-term downtrend.\nAs the budget deficit grows over the next few years, interest payments alone will absorb a larger chunk of tax revenue. Such comes at a time when that same dollar of tax revenue only covers the entitlement spending of the 75 million baby boomers migrating into the social safety net.\nBy the way, the only other time government income support exceeded taxes paid was during the \"Great Depression\" from 1931 to 1936.\nThe debt problem remains a massive risk to monetary and fiscal policy. If rates rise, the negative impact on an indebted economy quickly depresses activity. More importantly, the decline in monetary velocity clearly shows that deflation is a persistent threat.\n\nNo Real Options\nThere are no real options unless the system is allowed to reset painfully.\nUnfortunately, given we now have a decade of experience of watching monetary experiments only succeed in creating a massive \"wealth gap,\" maybe we should consider the alternative.\nUltimately, the Federal Reserve, and the Administration, will have to face hard choices to extricate the economy from the current\"liquidity trap.\"However, history shows that political leadership never makes hard choices until those choices get forced upon them.\nMost telling is the current economists' inability, who maintain our monetary and fiscal policies, to realize the problem of trying to \"cure a debt problem with more debt.\"\nThe Keynesian view that \"more money in people's pockets\" will drive up consumer spending, with a boost to GDP being the result, has been wrong. It hasn't happened in 40 years.\nAs Dr. Woody Brock aptly argues:\n\n \"It is truly 'American Gridlock' as the real crisis lies between the choices of 'austerity' and continued government 'largesse.' One choice leads to long-term economic prosperity for all; the other doesn't.\"\n\nTake your pick.\nWhile we likely see a spark of inflation, it probably won't last long. Eventually, the grip of the debt-driven deflationary cycle will regain its burdensome hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361734310,"gmtCreate":1614261412830,"gmtModify":1704769784535,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"up up up","listText":"up up up","text":"up up up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/361734310","repostId":"1169851865","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169851865","pubTimestamp":1614250065,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1169851865?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-25 18:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"JPMorgan’s Kolanovic Says ‘VIX Bubble’ May Spark Stock Rally","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169851865","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Tallbacken cautions about lack of volatility sellers in market\nCecchini suggests selling put options","content":"<ul>\n <li>Tallbacken cautions about lack of volatility sellers in market</li>\n <li>Cecchini suggests selling put options on April VIX futures</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market’s so-called fear gauge is elevated, and that could bode well for stocks if history is a guide.</p>\n<p>The spread between the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, and two-week S&amp;P 500 realized volatility has widened to a point that historically has been followed by a volatility decline and stocks on average moving higher, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. strategists Marko Kolanovic and Bram Kaplan wrote in a note Wednesday.

Until Tuesday, Goldman Sachs GS, -0.91% restricted its robo-advisory service, Marcus, to people who had at least $10 million to invest.</p>\n<p>Now anyone with at least $1,000 to invest in can access the same trading algorithms that have been used by some of Goldman Sachs’ wealthiest clients for a 0.35% annual advisory fee. But investing experts say there are more costs to consider before jumping on the robo-investing train.</p>\n<p>“Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.</p>\n<p>Although the 35 basis-point price tag is a “loss leader” to Goldman Sachs, he said companies typically make such offers in order to attract clients to cross-sell them banking products.</p>\n<p>“People forget that banks are ultimately in the business of making money,” he said.</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs declined to comment.</p>\n<p>The company is among other major financial-services firms offering digital advisers, including Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab SCHW, +1.03% and startups such as Betterment and Wealthfront.</p>\n<p>Fees for robo advisers can start at around 0.25%, and increase to 1% and above for traditional brokers. A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.</p>\n<p>The median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.</p>\n<p>Robo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p><b>Robo investing as a self-driving car</b></p>\n<p>Consumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.</p>\n<p>So what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.</p>\n<p>You put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.</p>\n<p>Robo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.</p>\n<p>There are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.</p>\n<p>And rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.</p>\n<p>Cynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.</p>\n<p>As she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”</p>\n<p><b>Robos appeal to inexperienced investors</b></p>\n<p>Robo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.</p>\n<p>That makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.</p>\n<p>“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”</p>\n<p>That said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”</p>\n<p>Others disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.</p>\n<p>“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.</p>\n<p><b>There is often no door to knock on</b></p>\n<p>Your robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.</p>\n<p>It won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.</p>\n<p>“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.</p>\n<p>Not all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.</p>\n<p>Additionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.</p>\n<p>For instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses.

Until Tuesday, Goldman Sachs GS, -0.91% restricted its robo-advisory service, Marcus, to people who had at least $10 million to invest.\nNow anyone with at least $1,000 to invest in can access the same trading algorithms that have been used by some of Goldman Sachs’ wealthiest clients for a 0.35% annual advisory fee. But investing experts say there are more costs to consider before jumping on the robo-investing train.\n“Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\nAlthough the 35 basis-point price tag is a “loss leader” to Goldman Sachs, he said companies typically make such offers in order to attract clients to cross-sell them banking products.\n“People forget that banks are ultimately in the business of making money,” he said.\nGoldman Sachs declined to comment.\nThe company is among other major financial-services firms offering digital advisers, including Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab SCHW, +1.03% and startups such as Betterment and Wealthfront.\nFees for robo advisers can start at around 0.25%, and increase to 1% and above for traditional brokers. A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.\nThe median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.\nRobo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.\nRobo investing as a self-driving car\nConsumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.\nThe rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.\nSo what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.\nYou put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.\nRobo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.\nThere are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.\nAnd rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.\nCynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.\nAs she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”\nRobos appeal to inexperienced investors\nRobo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.\nThat makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.\n“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”\nThat said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up. Even if you had the world’s best human financial adviser you can’t expect that.”\nOthers disagree, and say robo advisers appeal to older investors. “Planning for and paying yourself in retirement is complex. There are many options out there to help investors through it, and robo investing is one of them,” Loh said.\n“Many thoughtful, long-term investors have discovered that they want a more modern, streamlined, and inexpensive way to invest, and robo investing fits the bill. They are happy to let technology handle the mundane activities that are harder and more time-consuming for investors to do themselves,” she added.\nThere is often no door to knock on\nYour robo adviser only knows what you tell it. The simplistic questionnaire you’re required to fill out will on most robo-investing platforms will collect information on your annual income, desired age to retire and the level of risk you’re willing to take on.\nIt won’t however know if you just had a child and would like to begin saving for their education down the road or if you recently lost your job.\n“The question then becomes to whom does that person go to for advice and does that platform offer that and if so, to what level of complexity?” said Barse.\nNot all platforms give individualized investment advice and the hybrid models that do offer advice from a human tend to charge higher annual fees.\nAdditionally, a robo adviser won’t necessarily “manage your money with tax efficiency at front of mind,” said Roger Ma, a certified financial planner at Lifelaidout, a New York City-based financial advisory group.\nFor instance, one common way investors offset the taxes they pay on long-term investments is by selling assets that have accrued losses. Traditional advisers often specialize in constructing portfolios that lead to the most tax-efficient outcomes, said Ma, who is the author of “Work Your Money, Not Your Life”.\nBut with robo investing, the trades that are made for you are the same ones that are being made for a slew of other investors who may fall under a different tax-bracket than you.\nOn top of that, while robo investing may feel like a simplistic way to get into investing, especially for beginners it can “overcomplicate investing,” Ma said.\n“If you are just looking to dip your toe in and you want to feel like you’re invested in a diversified portfolio, I wouldn’t say definitely don’t do a robo adviser,” he said.\nDon’t rule out investing through a target-date fund that selects a single fund to invest in and adjusts the position over time based on their investment goals, he added.\nBut not everyone can tell the difference between robo advice and advice from a human being. In 2015, MarketWatch asked four prominent robo advisers and four of the traditional, flesh-and-blood variety to construct portfolios for a hypothetical 35-year-old investor with $40,000 to invest.\nThe results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387925690,"gmtCreate":1613712332510,"gmtModify":1704883965984,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"to the moon!","listText":"to the moon!","text":"to the moon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387925690","repostId":"1103921295","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103921295","pubTimestamp":1613706165,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103921295?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-19 11:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103921295","media":"Marketwatch","summary":"Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressiona","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressional hearing on GameStop’s rise and fall.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>YOLO?

The company previously said itdisputes the allegation.)</p>\n<p>Tenev and lawmakershave sparredon what Robinhood should and shouldn’t have done during the GameStop saga. GameStop shares once traded at a high point of $483. By Thursday’s market close, GameStop shares were $40.69.</p>\n<p>But either way, Tenev’s testimony gave an interesting peek at who the newest retail investors are and how much money they are pouring into the market. After all, retail investors were already increasingly entering the stock market before the GameStop drama started.</p>\n<p>Fifty-five percent of Americans directly own stock, according to aGallup surveylast year, while 32% of 18- to 29-year-olds said they owned stock.</p>\n<p>The median age of Robinhood investors is 31 and half of users say they are first-time investors. The median account size is about $240, according to Tenev’s statement, and the average account size is about $5,000.</p>\n<p>The fact that 13% of Robinhood users are trading options gives some advocates pause. Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America,saidthat “strikes us as a pretty high percentage when you consider the characteristics of Robinhood’s customer base (disproportionately young, first-time investors with small accounts).”</p>\n<p>Robinhood investors also tend to be a slightly more racially diverse crowd, according to Tenev’s testimony. Nine percent of users are Black, compared to 3% at other firms and 16% are Hispanic, versus 7% at other firms, according to Tenev’s statement.</p>\n<p>“Retail investors making up this new surge are different,” testified Jennifer Schulp, the Cato Institute’s director of financial regulation studies.</p>\n<p>Retail investors are nicknamed as“dumb money”on Wall Street, Schulp said. “I think it’s insulting. I think the term needs to go out the window. I think the GameStop situation is proof the retail investors are revolutionizing the market …. I think the retail investors here are learning by doing, which is one of the best ways to learn.”</p>\n<p>She pointed to research from theFINRA Investor Education Foundationreleased earlier this month digging into the demographics and account balances of new retail investors.</p>\n<p>One-third of new investors who opened a taxable investment account for the first time in 2020 said they had account balances of less than $500, versus 16% of experienced investors. Twenty-three percent of new investors had account balances up to $2,000. Twenty percent of experienced investors had account balances up to $2,000.</p>\n<p>The survey found a more racially diverse set of new investors, with 17% of new investors being Black. Seven percent of experienced investors are Black, the poll said.</p>\n<p>As the hearing continued, some lawmakers questioned whether more guardrails need to be in place, while others said lawmakers shouldn’t condescend to retail investors and assume they know best.</p>\n<p>“Many Americans feel that the system is stacked against them and no matter what, Wall Street always wins,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “In this instance, many retail investors appeared motivated by a desire to beat Wall Street at its own game and given the losses that many retail investors have sustained as a result of volatility in the system, there are many whose beliefs that the system is rigged against them has been reinforced.”</p>\n<p>The GameStop saga was a “fundamental change,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, the ranking Republican on the committee. The swell in trading was propelled by social media and a wealth of new information at investors’ fingertips.</p>\n<p>“I think if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that these average everyday investors are pretty darn sophisticated,” McHenry said. “There is wisdom to the crowd.”</p>\n<p>The government needs to make it easier for everyday investors to buy into the market, he said. “Instead of shutting the American public out through new regulations, new forms of taxation or so-called protections, let’s use this opprotunity to side with them.”</p>\n<p>One of the witnesses was Keith Gill, a 34-year-old independent investor with online handles like “Roaring Kitty” who turned his GameStop investment into millions. He made all his investment decisions based on publicly-availabile information, he told Congress.</p>\n<p>“I would be the first to acknowledge that investing in stocks and options is incredibly risky, and it’s so important for people to do their own thorough research before investing,” Gill said. “Folks should be able to freely express their views on a stock, and they should be able to buy or not buy a stock based on those views.”</p>\n<p>GameStop shares are up nearly 116% year-to-date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;is up nearly 3% and the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;is up more than 4% in 2021.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors</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\">\nGameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-19 11:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/gamestop-hearing-challenges-assumptions-about-rookie-investors-retail-investors-making-up-this-new-surge-are-different-11613680041?mod=home-page><strong>Marketwatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressional hearing on GameStop’s rise and fall.\n\nYOLO?

By Thursday’s market close, GameStop shares were $40.69.\nBut either way, Tenev’s testimony gave an interesting peek at who the newest retail investors are and how much money they are pouring into the market. After all, retail investors were already increasingly entering the stock market before the GameStop drama started.\nFifty-five percent of Americans directly own stock, according to aGallup surveylast year, while 32% of 18- to 29-year-olds said they owned stock.\nThe median age of Robinhood investors is 31 and half of users say they are first-time investors. The median account size is about $240, according to Tenev’s statement, and the average account size is about $5,000.\nThe fact that 13% of Robinhood users are trading options gives some advocates pause. Barbara Roper, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America,saidthat “strikes us as a pretty high percentage when you consider the characteristics of Robinhood’s customer base (disproportionately young, first-time investors with small accounts).”\nRobinhood investors also tend to be a slightly more racially diverse crowd, according to Tenev’s testimony. Nine percent of users are Black, compared to 3% at other firms and 16% are Hispanic, versus 7% at other firms, according to Tenev’s statement.\n“Retail investors making up this new surge are different,” testified Jennifer Schulp, the Cato Institute’s director of financial regulation studies.\nRetail investors are nicknamed as“dumb money”on Wall Street, Schulp said. “I think it’s insulting. I think the term needs to go out the window. I think the GameStop situation is proof the retail investors are revolutionizing the market …. I think the retail investors here are learning by doing, which is one of the best ways to learn.”\nShe pointed to research from theFINRA Investor Education Foundationreleased earlier this month digging into the demographics and account balances of new retail investors.\nOne-third of new investors who opened a taxable investment account for the first time in 2020 said they had account balances of less than $500, versus 16% of experienced investors. Twenty-three percent of new investors had account balances up to $2,000. Twenty percent of experienced investors had account balances up to $2,000.\nThe survey found a more racially diverse set of new investors, with 17% of new investors being Black. Seven percent of experienced investors are Black, the poll said.\nAs the hearing continued, some lawmakers questioned whether more guardrails need to be in place, while others said lawmakers shouldn’t condescend to retail investors and assume they know best.\n“Many Americans feel that the system is stacked against them and no matter what, Wall Street always wins,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “In this instance, many retail investors appeared motivated by a desire to beat Wall Street at its own game and given the losses that many retail investors have sustained as a result of volatility in the system, there are many whose beliefs that the system is rigged against them has been reinforced.”\nThe GameStop saga was a “fundamental change,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, the ranking Republican on the committee. The swell in trading was propelled by social media and a wealth of new information at investors’ fingertips.\n“I think if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that these average everyday investors are pretty darn sophisticated,” McHenry said. “There is wisdom to the crowd.”\nThe government needs to make it easier for everyday investors to buy into the market, he said. “Instead of shutting the American public out through new regulations, new forms of taxation or so-called protections, let’s use this opprotunity to side with them.”\nOne of the witnesses was Keith Gill, a 34-year-old independent investor with online handles like “Roaring Kitty” who turned his GameStop investment into millions. He made all his investment decisions based on publicly-availabile information, he told Congress.\n“I would be the first to acknowledge that investing in stocks and options is incredibly risky, and it’s so important for people to do their own thorough research before investing,” Gill said. “Folks should be able to freely express their views on a stock, and they should be able to buy or not buy a stock based on those views.”\nGameStop shares are up nearly 116% year-to-date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 3% and the S&P 500 is up more than 4% in 2021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":384946613,"gmtCreate":1613610084932,"gmtModify":1704882657702,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"index fund shouldnt","listText":"index fund shouldnt","text":"index fund shouldnt","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/384946613","repostId":"1195476575","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195476575","pubTimestamp":1613555269,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195476575?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-17 17:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Index funds don’t buy IPOs but here’s why they should","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195476575","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"How indexed mutual funds and ETFs can capture the powerful gains when a company goes public\nThe U.S.","content":"<p>How indexed mutual funds and ETFs can capture the powerful gains when a company goes public</p>\n<p>The U.S. market for IPOs (initial public offerings) was red hot in 2020.&nbsp; Excluding special purpose acquisition vehicles, U.S. IPOs last year raised $83 billion in gross proceeds.&nbsp; The prices of these IPOs jumped during the initial day of trading by 36% on average.</p>\n<p>Despite these high returns, index funds — including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds — almost never bought IPOs at their initial offering price.&nbsp; Instead, index funds waited to buy IPO stocks until near the date on which they were added to the relevant index — typically at the end of a quarter within six months to a year after the IPO.</p>\n<p>Yet as the index inclusion date nears for any IPO, its price typically surges in anticipation of a barrage of purchases — driving up the price that index funds must pay for that stock.&nbsp; For example, the price of Tesla&nbsp;spiked once it became likely that the company would be added to the S&amp;P500.</p>\n<p>In this article, I outline the data from 2010 to 2018 about the high initial returns for IPOs as well as the concerns holding back index funds from buying IPOs before they are included in the index.&nbsp; Then, I make a path-breaking proposal — allowing any index fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Index&nbsp;to meet these concerns by early buying of IPOs if, and only if, they are large relative to the size of the index.</p>\n<p>Like many other studies,the study that I co-authored with two experts on indexing&nbsp;found high returns in IPO stock prices during the initial day of trading. After this initial day of trading, the study evaluated IPO returns by a measure known as the index-adjusted performance (IAP) — the difference between the total return of the security and the total return of the index from the closing price on the first day of trading to the closing price of any following day.&nbsp; For example, a positive IAP would signal that an IPO has outperformed the index from the close of the first day of trading until the date the IPO is included in the relevant index.</p>\n<p>The study calculated these two metrics of returns for all 932 U.S. IPOs offered in the nine years between January 2010 and December 2018.&nbsp; Of these 932 IPOs, 115 were included in the Russell 1000 within the first six months of trading.</p>\n<p>The study used the Russell 1000 because it includes 92% of the total market capitalization of all listed stocks in the U.S. equity market.&nbsp; The Russell 1000 contains the top 1000 publicly traded U.S. companies according to market capitalization.&nbsp; IPOs are considered for inclusion at the end of each quarter, strictly based on their market capitalization.</p>\n<p>The first-day return for these 115 IPOs was highly positive — 22% on average with a median gain of 10%. &nbsp;Similarly, looking at the IAP for these 115 IPOs included in the Russell 1000, the study found a positive trend — with an average IAP of 6.89% and median of 5.24% between the IPO and the index inclusion date.</p>\n<p>Both of these trends show that index funds could generate excess return by buying IPOs before they are added to the index.&nbsp; The greatest return could be realized by buying IPOs at the initial offering price and holding them through the index inclusion date.&nbsp; Index funds could also realize significant excess returns by buying IPOs after their first day of trading and holding them through the index inclusion date.</p>\n<p><b>Risks in the returns</b></p>\n<p>Index funds would face several risks associated with such early purchases of IPOs.</p>\n<p>First, and most importantly, no one knows which IPOs will be added to the index at the time of the IPO.&nbsp; An index fund might purchase an IPO stock that doesn’t get added to the index.&nbsp; In that event, the fund would have to sell the IPO stock, potentially at a loss. The price of the IPO stock would decline because there would no longer be the expectation that other index funds would be required to buy that stock when it is added to the index.</p>\n<p>A second concern is that an index fund would not get a large enough allocation in an IPO to reflect the stock’s future position in the index — for example, when a popular tech company goes public.&nbsp;Even so, an index fund can still generate excess returns by buying more of such a stock on the day following an IPO and holding that stock until it is added to the index.</p>\n<p>Third, since the index fund would be holding stocks that are not included in the index — at least for several months — the fund would experience tracking error.&nbsp; Tracking error occurs when the returns on an index fund portfolio differ materially from those of the index it is benchmarked against.&nbsp; But investors would probably not be overly concerned if the fund beat the index it was designed to track.</p>\n<p>Of course, the prospectus of such an index fund would have to make clear that it would be buying stocks in the initial offerings of IPOs and after their first day of trading. The prospectus should also delineate the risks involved when the fund buys IPOs before they are included in the index.</p>\n<p>To mitigate the most important risk — that the IPO will not be included in the index — I recommend that index funds should purchase an IPO only if its expected weight in the Russell 1000 is relatively large. The expected weight equals the gross proceeds raised by the IPO, divided by the total freely traded float of stocks in the index. &nbsp; Since the Russell 1000 Index is composed of the top 1000 U.S. companies by market capitalization, the larger the IPO is relative to the index, the more likely that the IPO will be added to that index.</p>\n<p>This strategy could be adapted to varying risk tolerances of index funds by adjusting the size threshold for early purchases of an IPO.&nbsp; In a conservative strategy, the index fund would purchase only IPOs with the largest expected weight in the index, since they are most likely to be included in the index.&nbsp; In a more aggressive strategy, by contrast, the size threshold for buying IPOs would be lower.</p>\n<p>The study examined three thresholds for risk appetite, defined in terms of the expected weight of the IPO in the index: 1.0 basis point for conservative; 0.75 basis point for pragmatic and 0.50 basis point for aggressive. (One basis point equals 1/100 of 1%)</p>\n<p>The results, summarized in the table below, show that this strategy would have been successful at generating excess returns without significant risks during the period from 2010 through 2018.</p>\n<p>For example, 100% of the largest IPOs that would have been purchased under the conservative strategy during this period were added to the index within the first six months and generated excess returns above 15%.&nbsp; Under the aggressive strategy, 88% of the IPOs that would have been purchased during this period were included in the index within six months and generated excess returns of close to 17%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fc52461985f7a3ca10fac53ba2ccf05\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"476\"></p>\n<p>My recommendation is that an index fund based on the Russell 1000 buy relatively large IPOs in their initial offerings or, if necessary, immediately after their first day of trading. Although there is a modest risk that such IPOs will not subsequently be included in that index, the excess returns from this strategy outweigh the risks.</p>\n<p>I would not recommend that any index fund use this strategy to buy an IPO effected by merging a private company with a special acquisition vehicle.&nbsp;I also would not recommend this strategy for any index fund based on other indices where it is more difficult to predict when and whether IPO stocks will be included in the index, such as the S&amp;P 500, where stocks included are chosen by a committee.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

stocks fell from record levels on Tuesday as the recent rally driven by signs of strong economic rebound took a pause.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 96.95 points, or 0.3%, to 33,430.24. The S&P 500 fell 0.1% to 4,073.94, pressured by tech and health care. The broad equity benchmark fell for the first time in four days. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite inched 0.1% lower to 13,698.38. The blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500 both closed at record highs in the prior session.\nShares of airlines and cruise lines continued their recent gains. Delta Air Lines rose 2.8%, while Carnival and Royal Caribbean both gained more than 1%. Norwegian Cruise Line jumped 4.6%.\nThe market came under pressure even after more strong news on the job front. The Labor Department said Tuesday that U.S. job openings rose 268,000 to a two-year high of 7.4 million on the last day of February, according to its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting a total of 7 million.\nStocks rallied to record highs on Monday after Friday’s blowout jobs report and a surge in the gauge of services industry activity showed the economic rebound gained momentum amid accelerated vaccine rollout.\n“Markets today are also still digesting a ‘trifecta’ of strong start-of-the-month reports,” Chris Hussey, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, said in a note. “But even on the back of all of this good news, with the S&P 500 already up 8.5% ytd, today is a time for markets to ‘consolidate’ as they await the next batch of news — 1Q21 earnings season.”\nBig banks including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs kick off the new earnings season next week. First-quarter earnings are expected to be up 24.2% year over year, compared to 3.8% growth in the fourth quarter, according to Refinitiv.\nBond yields continued to fall from recent highs, easing fears of rising inflation. The 10-year Treasury yielddropped7 basis points to 1.65% on Tuesday.\nOn Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said thatthe state will reopen its economy by June 15provided that coronavirus vaccine and hospitalization cases remain stable.\n“Vaccinations are rolling out at a record clip, and historic stimulus efforts from Congress have all paved the way for continued positive market momentum,” said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade Financial.\nInvestors continue to assess President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal announced last week and its chance to become reality. While politicians on both sides of the aisle support funding to rebuild American roads and bridges, disagreements over the ultimate size of the bill and how to pay for it remain, including Biden’s plan to raise the corporate tax to 28%.\nBiden said Mondayhe is not worriedthat a corporate tax hike would hurt the economy. Conservative Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia reportedly said he opposes the proposed tax hike to a level that high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":363049149,"gmtCreate":1614086399681,"gmtModify":1704887897983,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"TESLA is going down","listText":"TESLA is going down","text":"TESLA is going down","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/363049149","repostId":"1178144401","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385632319,"gmtCreate":1613540532131,"gmtModify":1704881793995,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like pls. thank you","listText":"like pls. thank you","text":"like pls. thank you","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385632319","repostId":"1106575642","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106575642","pubTimestamp":1613532872,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1106575642?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-17 11:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple iCar Speculation Continues. How Tech and Auto Analysts See the Car.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106575642","media":"Barrons","summary":"Speculation about an all-electric, self-driving car produced by Apple just won’t die.\nNow Japanese c","content":"<p>Speculation about an all-electric, self-driving car&nbsp;produced by Apple&nbsp;just won’t die.</p>\n<p>Now Japanese car maker&nbsp;Nissan Motor(ticker: 7201.Japan) has denied reports that it is in talks to be the builder of an Apple-branded vehicle. The iCar has resulted in a lot of Wall Street&nbsp;research reports, but few hard numbers about what an&nbsp;Apple(AAPL) entry might mean for the global car business. What’s more, tech and car analysts have slightly different takes on what the Apple car means.</p>\n<p>News of a potential Apple car surfaced in December. Those reports were taken seriously by both tech and car analysts because Apple has had car ambitions stretching back years—and because Apple is huge. The tech giant has a market capitalization roughly equal to the market cap of all car makers on the globe, combined. That includes the most valuable car company on the planet:Tesla(TSLA).</p>\n<p>Hyundai Motor(005380.Korea),Kia Motors(000270.Korea), as well as&nbsp;U.S. EVstart-up&nbsp;Canoo(GOEV), have all been&nbsp;tied&nbsp;to Apple in reports. Nissan is the latest car company to be linked. Nissan stock fell almost 3% Monday after Reuters reported Nissan’s denial it was working with Apple.</p>\n<p>Apple, and the car companies, haven’t commented on Apple’s car plans. Apple wasn’t immediately available to comment on Nissan reports on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>Outside of&nbsp;temporary impacts&nbsp;on car companies directly linked to Apple, car stocks aren’t really reacting to iCar news. Crying wolf is one reason: Nothing concrete has come from repeated speculation. And of course, an Apple car would be years away—another reason auto investors aren’t too concerned for the moment.</p>\n<p>That doesn’t mean an Apple car won’t matter, or that news of potential partnerships can be discounted. Wedbush analyst&nbsp;Dan Ives&nbsp;expects a formal announcement in 2021. “At this point it’s a matter of when, not if,&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;will enter the EV race over the next few years,” wrote Ives in a Monday research report. He assigns an 85% probability that Apple will make an announcement in three to six months and calls Hyundai and&nbsp;Volkswagen(VOW.Germany) his top two choices for an Apple partnership.</p>\n<p>Hyundai has its own&nbsp;modular EV platform. That’s one reason Ives likes Hyundai as a possibility, although other auto makers, including&nbsp;General Motors(GM), have&nbsp;similar approaches&nbsp;to electric-vehicle development. Volkswagen, for its part, has big EV ambitions. It is also a&nbsp;large shareholder&nbsp;of&nbsp;QuantumScape(QS), which is&nbsp;pioneering&nbsp;solid-state, lithium anode EV batteries. Those batteries promise lower cost, better safety, faster charging, and more range. Both things could make Volkswagen attractive to a partner.</p>\n<p>Ives covers mainly technology stocks. He covers Apple, rating shares outperform and has a $175 price target for shares. He also covers Telsa stock, rating shares Hold with a $950 price target for shares. Bernstein analyst&nbsp;Toni Sacconaghi, covers both as well. He rates Apple stock Hold and has a $132 price target for shares. He is more bearish on Tesla though. He believes an Apple car would make it harder for Tesla to meet its volume growth goal of 50% a year on average for the next few years. “The automotive market has historically been highly fragmented, with strong regional brands and preferences,” wrote Sacconaghi in a recent research report. “It is uncertain to us that amid massive new competition and entry, the market will ultimately become more consolidated and/or have one outsized winner.”</p>\n<p>That’s bad news for Tesla in his mind. He rates Tesla shares Sell and has a $180 price target for the stock, well below where shares are trading.</p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley analyst&nbsp;Adam Jonas&nbsp;covers cars and not Apple. But he is bullish on Tesla stock, rating shares Buy with an $880 price target. An Apple car entry could speed EV penetration, which would benefit all EV makers. In addition, Tesla “can iterate industry-leading battery technology for another four or five years before Apple may be on the scene,” wrote Jonas in a recent research report. “But at some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox.”</p>\n<p>More EV players, however, aren’t enough to shake his confidence in Tesla stock. In addition to Tesla, Jonas recommends stock in GM and supplier&nbsp;Aptiv(APTV) to get exposure to the&nbsp;EV theme.</p>\n<p>RBC analyst Joe Spak also covers car stocks. He, like Jonas, rates GM and Aptiv stock Buy but rates Tesla stock Hold. The emergence of an Apple car, for Spak, highlights the need for car makers to adapt at faster rates. “Otherwise they could get left behind, whether it’s by Apple or someone else,” wrote Spak in a recent research report.</p>\n<p>Overall, Wall Street appears to believe few things about the iCar: It will be a premium self-driving product, and will be built by an existing auto maker. It is good news for Apple stock, but it might not be that disruptive to the existing industry—initial volumes will be small, and it will boost consumer interest in EVs. What’s more, news of an Apple car will drive incumbents to improve. Time will tell if that turns out to be how the industry develops.</p>\n<p>Apple car news, again, doesn’t appear to be hitting stocks all that much. Tesla stock is down 2.4% on Tuesday.

The iCar has resulted in a lot of Wall Street research reports, but few hard numbers about what an Apple(AAPL) entry might mean for the global car business. What’s more, tech and car analysts have slightly different takes on what the Apple car means.\nNews of a potential Apple car surfaced in December. Those reports were taken seriously by both tech and car analysts because Apple has had car ambitions stretching back years—and because Apple is huge. The tech giant has a market capitalization roughly equal to the market cap of all car makers on the globe, combined. That includes the most valuable car company on the planet:Tesla(TSLA).\nHyundai Motor(005380.Korea),Kia Motors(000270.Korea), as well as U.S. EVstart-up Canoo(GOEV), have all been tied to Apple in reports. Nissan is the latest car company to be linked. Nissan stock fell almost 3% Monday after Reuters reported Nissan’s denial it was working with Apple.\nApple, and the car companies, haven’t commented on Apple’s car plans. Apple wasn’t immediately available to comment on Nissan reports on Tuesday.\nOutside of temporary impacts on car companies directly linked to Apple, car stocks aren’t really reacting to iCar news. Crying wolf is one reason: Nothing concrete has come from repeated speculation. And of course, an Apple car would be years away—another reason auto investors aren’t too concerned for the moment.\nThat doesn’t mean an Apple car won’t matter, or that news of potential partnerships can be discounted. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives expects a formal announcement in 2021. “At this point it’s a matter of when, not if, Apple will enter the EV race over the next few years,” wrote Ives in a Monday research report. He assigns an 85% probability that Apple will make an announcement in three to six months and calls Hyundai and Volkswagen(VOW.Germany) his top two choices for an Apple partnership.\nHyundai has its own modular EV platform. That’s one reason Ives likes Hyundai as a possibility, although other auto makers, including General Motors(GM), have similar approaches to electric-vehicle development. Volkswagen, for its part, has big EV ambitions. It is also a large shareholder of QuantumScape(QS), which is pioneering solid-state, lithium anode EV batteries. Those batteries promise lower cost, better safety, faster charging, and more range. Both things could make Volkswagen attractive to a partner.\nIves covers mainly technology stocks. He covers Apple, rating shares outperform and has a $175 price target for shares. He also covers Telsa stock, rating shares Hold with a $950 price target for shares. Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi, covers both as well. He rates Apple stock Hold and has a $132 price target for shares. He is more bearish on Tesla though. He believes an Apple car would make it harder for Tesla to meet its volume growth goal of 50% a year on average for the next few years. “The automotive market has historically been highly fragmented, with strong regional brands and preferences,” wrote Sacconaghi in a recent research report. “It is uncertain to us that amid massive new competition and entry, the market will ultimately become more consolidated and/or have one outsized winner.”\nThat’s bad news for Tesla in his mind. He rates Tesla shares Sell and has a $180 price target for the stock, well below where shares are trading.\nMorgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas covers cars and not Apple. But he is bullish on Tesla stock, rating shares Buy with an $880 price target. An Apple car entry could speed EV penetration, which would benefit all EV makers. In addition, Tesla “can iterate industry-leading battery technology for another four or five years before Apple may be on the scene,” wrote Jonas in a recent research report. “But at some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox.”\nMore EV players, however, aren’t enough to shake his confidence in Tesla stock. In addition to Tesla, Jonas recommends stock in GM and supplier Aptiv(APTV) to get exposure to the EV theme.\nRBC analyst Joe Spak also covers car stocks. He, like Jonas, rates GM and Aptiv stock Buy but rates Tesla stock Hold. The emergence of an Apple car, for Spak, highlights the need for car makers to adapt at faster rates. “Otherwise they could get left behind, whether it’s by Apple or someone else,” wrote Spak in a recent research report.\nOverall, Wall Street appears to believe few things about the iCar: It will be a premium self-driving product, and will be built by an existing auto maker. It is good news for Apple stock, but it might not be that disruptive to the existing industry—initial volumes will be small, and it will boost consumer interest in EVs. What’s more, news of an Apple car will drive incumbents to improve. Time will tell if that turns out to be how the industry develops.\nApple car news, again, doesn’t appear to be hitting stocks all that much. Tesla stock is down 2.4% on Tuesday. Apple stock is down 1.6%. The S&P 500,for comparison, is down about 0.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up about 0.2%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":314350627,"gmtCreate":1612312737569,"gmtModify":1704869582718,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Diamond hand!","listText":"Diamond hand!","text":"Diamond hand!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/314350627","repostId":"1113195747","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113195747","pubTimestamp":1612259771,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1113195747?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-02 17:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Gamestop, silver spot down, \"farce\" is slowly ending?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1113195747","media":"reuters","summary":"SINGAPORE (Reuters) - GameStop shares slid in Frankfurt and U.S. pre-market trade on Tuesday and a s","content":"<p>SINGAPORE (Reuters) - GameStop shares slid in Frankfurt and U.S. pre-market trade on Tuesday and a silver buying spree led by small investors subsided as retail-driven mania for shorted assets started to show signs of fizzling out.</p>\n<p>GameStop’s Frankfurt-listed shares were down 30% from Monday’s close at 143 euros ($172.72) in early trade on Tuesday, after the firm’s stock closed at $225 in U.S. markets.

Small silver miners, which had leapt, also retraced some of their gains.\n“It is slowing down a bit,” said Gregor Gregersen, founder of Silver Bullion, a dealer in Singapore, after a wild 24 hours where he said sales exceeded average monthly levels from 2018 and orders above S$35,000 ($26,300) arrived every three minutes.\nReddit moderators had on Tuesday removed one of the most popular posts suggesting buying silver and many WallStreetBets posts focused on riding out the volatility.\n“WHO IS HOLDING GME WITH ME?” read one top post. “I’M HOLDING EVEN IF MY PORTFOLIO GOES DOWN TO ZERO,” read another.\n($1 = 0.8280 euros)\n($1 = 1.3108 Australian dollars)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387925690,"gmtCreate":1613712332510,"gmtModify":1704883965984,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"to the moon!","listText":"to the moon!","text":"to the moon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/387925690","repostId":"1103921295","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103921295","pubTimestamp":1613706165,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103921295?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-19 11:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop hearing challenges assumptions about rookie investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103921295","media":"Marketwatch","summary":"Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressiona","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev discussed average account sizes and user demographics during a congressional hearing on GameStop’s rise and fall.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>YOLO?

Twenty-three percent of new investors had account balances up to $2,000. Twenty percent of experienced investors had account balances up to $2,000.</p>\n<p>The survey found a more racially diverse set of new investors, with 17% of new investors being Black. Seven percent of experienced investors are Black, the poll said.</p>\n<p>As the hearing continued, some lawmakers questioned whether more guardrails need to be in place, while others said lawmakers shouldn’t condescend to retail investors and assume they know best.</p>\n<p>“Many Americans feel that the system is stacked against them and no matter what, Wall Street always wins,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee. “In this instance, many retail investors appeared motivated by a desire to beat Wall Street at its own game and given the losses that many retail investors have sustained as a result of volatility in the system, there are many whose beliefs that the system is rigged against them has been reinforced.”</p>\n<p>The GameStop saga was a “fundamental change,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, the ranking Republican on the committee. The swell in trading was propelled by social media and a wealth of new information at investors’ fingertips.</p>\n<p>“I think if we’ve learned anything from these past few weeks, it’s that these average everyday investors are pretty darn sophisticated,” McHenry said. “There is wisdom to the crowd.”</p>\n<p>The government needs to make it easier for everyday investors to buy into the market, he said. “Instead of shutting the American public out through new regulations, new forms of taxation or so-called protections, let’s use this opprotunity to side with them.”</p>\n<p>One of the witnesses was Keith Gill, a 34-year-old independent investor with online handles like “Roaring Kitty” who turned his GameStop investment into millions. He made all his investment decisions based on publicly-availabile information, he told Congress.</p>\n<p>“I would be the first to acknowledge that investing in stocks and options is incredibly risky, and it’s so important for people to do their own thorough research before investing,” Gill said. “Folks should be able to freely express their views on a stock, and they should be able to buy or not buy a stock based on those views.”</p>\n<p>GameStop shares are up nearly 116% year-to-date.

This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?</p>\n<p>Well, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.</p>\n<p>Top Fintech Stocks To Watch</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Mogo Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MOGO)</li>\n <li><b>PayPal Holdings Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PYPL)</li>\n <li><b>Square Inc.</b>(NYSE: SQ)</li>\n <li><b>Green Dot Corporation</b>(NYSE: GDOT)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mogo Inc.</p>\n<p>Starting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.</p>\n<p>For starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?</p>\n<p>PayPal Holdings Inc.</p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.</p>\n<p>For one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.<i>The “Pay in 4</i>” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.</p>\n<p>Square Inc.</p>\n<p>Another top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?</p>\n<p>Well, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?</p>\n<p>Green Dot Corporation</p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.</p>\n<p>For the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “<i>living from paycheck to paycheck</i>”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “<i>Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.</i>” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Best Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch</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\">\nBest Stocks To Buy For 2021? 4 Fintech Stocks To Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-11 14:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/best-stocks-to-buy-for-2021-4-fintech-stocks-to-watch-2021-02-10><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re caught up on the latestBitcoin news, you likely know thatfintech stocksare in the hot seat right now.

This is thanks to a $1.5 billion investment into the cryptocurrency from electric vehicle titan Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). It is one of the latest large tech companies to not only invest in but eventually start acceptingBitcoinas payment. In fact, there have even been speculations of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) being well-positioned to join the cryptocurrency craze as well. How does this connect to fintech stocks?\nWell, to begin with, fintech companies are the bridge that allows most of the general public access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, they are also key players in this current age of digital finance. Whatever way you cut it, the fintech industry is becoming more essential and is here to stay for the long run. Meanwhile, more conventional top fintech stocks like Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) have mostly seen their shares recover to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, investors would be logical in looking for thebest fintech stocks now. Having read till this point, you might be interested in investing in this industry yourself. If you are, here are four fintech stocks to consider now.\nTop Fintech Stocks To Watch\n\nMogo Inc.(NASDAQ: MOGO)\nPayPal Holdings Inc.(NASDAQ: PYPL)\nSquare Inc.(NYSE: SQ)\nGreen Dot Corporation(NYSE: GDOT)\n\nMogo Inc.\nStarting us off is Canadian fintech company Mogo. It offers a wide range of financial services ranging from personal loans, mortgages, a Visa Prepaid Card, and credit score viewing. More importantly, the company also facilitates Bitcoin transactions. This particular service has exploded together with the price of the cryptocurrency over the last month. Mogo saw massive month-over-month jumps of 141% in new Bitcoin accounts added and 323% in Bitcoin transaction volume in January. Likewise, MOGO stock is currently up by over 160% year-to-date. Aside from Bitcoin-related tailwinds, the company has also been hard at work expanding its financial portfolio.\nFor starters, Mogo acquired leading digital payments solutions provider Carta Worldwide, over two weeks ago. This move expanded Mogo’s addressable market by entering the global $2.5 trillion payments market. Following that, the company expanded into Japan last week via Carta. According to Mogo, this move was in support of the TransferWise multi-currency debit card launch in the country. With this move, Mogo continues to expand its market reach globally and seems eager to make the most of its newly acquired subsidiary. With the company firing on all cylinders now, will you be watching MOGO stock?\nPayPal Holdings Inc.\nFollowing that, we will be looking at fintech giant, PayPal. Just like our other entries on this list, the company does facilitate cryptocurrency transactions for its clients. Last week, PayPal reported record figures across the board. For its fourth quarter, the company saw a total payment volume (TPV) of $277 billion, a 39% increase year-over-year. Furthermore, the company’s earnings per share more than tripled over the same time as well. In detail, TPVs across its merchant services and Venmo app grew by 42% and 60% respectively. With PayPal riding both Bitcoin and pandemic tailwinds, PYPL stock continues to soar to greater heights. It has gained by over 230% since the March lows and closed yesterday at a record high. Investors may be wondering if it still has room to run moving forward.\nFor one thing, the company does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday, it announced a new collaboration with global commerce solutions provider Digital River (DR). To summarize, PayPal now has a new ‘pay later’ option available to U.S. clients on DR’s e-commerce platform.The “Pay in 4” feature will allow customers to pay for items priced from $30 to $600 across four interest-free payments. Simultaneously, merchants get paid upfront at no additional cost to the customer. As PayPal continues to make waves in the fintech space, could PYPL stock continue to flourish this year? You tell me.\nSquare Inc.\nAnother top fintech company on the radar now would be Square. Aside from its Bitcoin-related services, the leading fintech player does bring a lot to the table. Whether it is financial solutions, merchant services, or mobile payment, Square’s offerings compete with the best in the field. For the uninitiated, the company markets software and hardware payments products to businesses of all sizes. At the same time, its consumer-focused digital payment ecosystem, Cash App, has also seen mind-blowing growth in the past year. Square reported having 30 million monthly active users on the app which generated over $2 billion in revenue in its recent quarter. Seasoned investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of the company. Indeed, SQ stock has and continues to impress with gains of over 200% in the past year. With the current focus on fintech, could investors continue to find more value in SQ stock?\nWell, it has been posting phenomenal figures on the business side of things. In its third-quarter fiscal reported in November, it saw a year-over-year surge of 139% in total revenue and 246% in cash on hand. Specifically, Cash App’s gross profit skyrocketed by 212% year-over-year. All things considered, will you be watching SQ stock ahead of Square’s upcomingearnings callon February 23?\nGreen Dot Corporation\nUndoubtedly, Green Dot is a fintech industry-veteran that should not be overlooked. As it stands, Green Dot is the world’s largest prepaid debit card company by market capitalization. The company also boasts an impressive list of clients, to say the least. Its fintech partners include but are not limited to, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT). Equally impressive is GDOT stock’s growth of over 220% since the March selloffs. With Green Dot slated to release its fourth-quarter earnings on February 22, I can see investors watching GDOT stock closely.\nFor the most part, the company has been hard at work maintaining its current momentum. Last month, the company launched a new mobile bank focused on addressing the two in three Americans “living from paycheck to paycheck”. Through this, Green Dot is leveraging its rich industry experience to provide affordable banking solutions for clients in need. In the long run, this could play out well for Green Dot as it engages consumers amidst these troubling times. Moreover, the company appointed a new CTO in Gyorgy Tomso last week. CEO Dan Henry said, “Gyorgy is a fintech veteran whose deep experience leading technology strategy for financial services companies is going to be instrumental in Green Dot’s growth as a leading fintech.” Has all this convinced you to add GDOT to your watchlist?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328298274,"gmtCreate":1615527080998,"gmtModify":1704784113913,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"noted","listText":"noted","text":"noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328298274","repostId":"1199156489","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199156489","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1615452861,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1199156489?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-11 16:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US Daylight Saving Time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199156489","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"From 02:00 U.S. East time March 14(this Sunday),the North America region entered daylight saving tim","content":"<p>From&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;March&nbsp;14(this&nbsp;Sunday),the&nbsp;North America&nbsp;region&nbsp;entered&nbsp;daylight saving&nbsp;time,until&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;ends&nbsp;on&nbsp;November&nbsp;7,2021.</p><p>So,starting&nbsp;on&nbsp;Monday,March&nbsp;14,the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;market&nbsp;will&nbsp;open&nbsp;and&nbsp;close&nbsp;one&nbsp;hour&nbsp;ahead&nbsp;of&nbsp;schedule&nbsp;during&nbsp;north&nbsp;american&nbsp;daylight saving time,i.e.,U.S.&nbsp;trading&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;changed&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30&nbsp;beijing&nbsp;time&nbsp;to&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;a.m.the&nbsp;next&nbsp;day,pre-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;16:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30,after-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;8:00.</p><p><b>What is daylight saving time?</b></p><p>The DST is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during summer months so that daylight lasts longer into evening.

After this initial day of trading, the study evaluated IPO returns by a measure known as the index-adjusted performance (IAP) — the difference between the total return of the security and the total return of the index from the closing price on the first day of trading to the closing price of any following day.&nbsp; For example, a positive IAP would signal that an IPO has outperformed the index from the close of the first day of trading until the date the IPO is included in the relevant index.</p>\n<p>The study calculated these two metrics of returns for all 932 U.S. IPOs offered in the nine years between January 2010 and December 2018.&nbsp; Of these 932 IPOs, 115 were included in the Russell 1000 within the first six months of trading.</p>\n<p>The study used the Russell 1000 because it includes 92% of the total market capitalization of all listed stocks in the U.S. equity market.&nbsp; The Russell 1000 contains the top 1000 publicly traded U.S. companies according to market capitalization.&nbsp; IPOs are considered for inclusion at the end of each quarter, strictly based on their market capitalization.</p>\n<p>The first-day return for these 115 IPOs was highly positive — 22% on average with a median gain of 10%. &nbsp;Similarly, looking at the IAP for these 115 IPOs included in the Russell 1000, the study found a positive trend — with an average IAP of 6.89% and median of 5.24% between the IPO and the index inclusion date.</p>\n<p>Both of these trends show that index funds could generate excess return by buying IPOs before they are added to the index.&nbsp; The greatest return could be realized by buying IPOs at the initial offering price and holding them through the index inclusion date.&nbsp; Index funds could also realize significant excess returns by buying IPOs after their first day of trading and holding them through the index inclusion date.</p>\n<p><b>Risks in the returns</b></p>\n<p>Index funds would face several risks associated with such early purchases of IPOs.</p>\n<p>First, and most importantly, no one knows which IPOs will be added to the index at the time of the IPO.&nbsp; An index fund might purchase an IPO stock that doesn’t get added to the index.&nbsp; In that event, the fund would have to sell the IPO stock, potentially at a loss. The price of the IPO stock would decline because there would no longer be the expectation that other index funds would be required to buy that stock when it is added to the index.</p>\n<p>A second concern is that an index fund would not get a large enough allocation in an IPO to reflect the stock’s future position in the index — for example, when a popular tech company goes public.&nbsp;Even so, an index fund can still generate excess returns by buying more of such a stock on the day following an IPO and holding that stock until it is added to the index.</p>\n<p>Third, since the index fund would be holding stocks that are not included in the index — at least for several months — the fund would experience tracking error.&nbsp; Tracking error occurs when the returns on an index fund portfolio differ materially from those of the index it is benchmarked against.&nbsp; But investors would probably not be overly concerned if the fund beat the index it was designed to track.</p>\n<p>Of course, the prospectus of such an index fund would have to make clear that it would be buying stocks in the initial offerings of IPOs and after their first day of trading. The prospectus should also delineate the risks involved when the fund buys IPOs before they are included in the index.</p>\n<p>To mitigate the most important risk — that the IPO will not be included in the index — I recommend that index funds should purchase an IPO only if its expected weight in the Russell 1000 is relatively large. The expected weight equals the gross proceeds raised by the IPO, divided by the total freely traded float of stocks in the index. &nbsp; Since the Russell 1000 Index is composed of the top 1000 U.S. companies by market capitalization, the larger the IPO is relative to the index, the more likely that the IPO will be added to that index.</p>\n<p>This strategy could be adapted to varying risk tolerances of index funds by adjusting the size threshold for early purchases of an IPO.&nbsp; In a conservative strategy, the index fund would purchase only IPOs with the largest expected weight in the index, since they are most likely to be included in the index.&nbsp; In a more aggressive strategy, by contrast, the size threshold for buying IPOs would be lower.</p>\n<p>The study examined three thresholds for risk appetite, defined in terms of the expected weight of the IPO in the index: 1.0 basis point for conservative; 0.75 basis point for pragmatic and 0.50 basis point for aggressive. (One basis point equals 1/100 of 1%)</p>\n<p>The results, summarized in the table below, show that this strategy would have been successful at generating excess returns without significant risks during the period from 2010 through 2018.</p>\n<p>For example, 100% of the largest IPOs that would have been purchased under the conservative strategy during this period were added to the index within the first six months and generated excess returns above 15%.&nbsp; Under the aggressive strategy, 88% of the IPOs that would have been purchased during this period were included in the index within six months and generated excess returns of close to 17%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fc52461985f7a3ca10fac53ba2ccf05\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"476\"></p>\n<p>My recommendation is that an index fund based on the Russell 1000 buy relatively large IPOs in their initial offerings or, if necessary, immediately after their first day of trading. Although there is a modest risk that such IPOs will not subsequently be included in that index, the excess returns from this strategy outweigh the risks.</p>\n<p>I would not recommend that any index fund use this strategy to buy an IPO effected by merging a private company with a special acquisition vehicle.&nbsp;I also would not recommend this strategy for any index fund based on other indices where it is more difficult to predict when and whether IPO stocks will be included in the index, such as the S&amp;P 500, where stocks included are chosen by a committee.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That was a long time ago.</p>\n<p>Now bottled water and all sorts of nonsoda drinks are widespread, and drinking Coke is somewhat akin in the popular imagination to smoking cigarettes or eating fatty foods.</p>\n<p>Still, despite changing tastes, Coca-Cola (ticker: KO) has a reasonably reliable business, and the stock is one of the most widely held in America. It’s down 8% this year and down 15% over the past 52 weeks.</p>\n<p>Rather than hoping for better days,&nbsp;investors&nbsp;should consider generating some income on their shares&nbsp;by using “covered calls.” The strategy is simple, but it works only for investors who own the stock. Investors simply sellcall optionsthat are about 10% above the stock price and that expire in three months or less. They get to keep the options premium if the stock price stays below the strike price.&nbsp;(Calls give buyers the right to buy an asset at a specified price within a set period.)</p>\n<p>With Coca-Cola at $50.47, shareholders could sell the May $55 call for 68 cents. During the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged from $36.27 to $60.13.</p>\n<p>Should the stock price exceed the strike price at or before the expiration date, an investor can adjust the short call by buying it back and selling another call at a higher strike price and a more distant expiration. Ideally, the roll will be made before the stock price is too close to the strike price.</p>\n<p>Watch the “strike risk” so you can act preemptively if needed. Calls that are&nbsp;out-of-the-money—meaning the strike price is higher than the actual stock price—are usually less expensive and easier to adjust than in-the-money calls.</p>\n<p>In many ways, somnolent blue-chip stocks like Coca-Cola are ideal candidates for options-selling strategies. Investors tend to own lots of the stock, and may even have inherited the shares.</p>\n<p>The risk to the approach—let’s call it the key drawback—is if the stock suddenly wakes up and starts to surge. This could happen if analysts or investors decide the company offers a reasonably priced way to monetize a key theme.</p>\n<p>For Coca-Cola, the surge risk likely hingeson the reopening of the U.S. economy. Some of the stock’s recent weakness reflects the company’s reliance on restaurant sales to drive the business. The Covid-19 pandemic has shuttered restaurants, so an important revenue source has been temporarily interrupted.</p>\n<p>So far, vaccination efforts are a major part of the bullish narrative used to describe why stock prices can go higher. As more people are vaccinated, life returns to normal, and we once more dine in restaurants, see movies, and gather together.

That was a long time ago.\nNow bottled water and all sorts of nonsoda drinks are widespread, and drinking Coke is somewhat akin in the popular imagination to smoking cigarettes or eating fatty foods.\nStill, despite changing tastes, Coca-Cola (ticker: KO) has a reasonably reliable business, and the stock is one of the most widely held in America. It’s down 8% this year and down 15% over the past 52 weeks.\nRather than hoping for better days, investors should consider generating some income on their shares by using “covered calls.” The strategy is simple, but it works only for investors who own the stock. Investors simply sellcall optionsthat are about 10% above the stock price and that expire in three months or less. They get to keep the options premium if the stock price stays below the strike price. (Calls give buyers the right to buy an asset at a specified price within a set period.)\nWith Coca-Cola at $50.47, shareholders could sell the May $55 call for 68 cents. During the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged from $36.27 to $60.13.\nShould the stock price exceed the strike price at or before the expiration date, an investor can adjust the short call by buying it back and selling another call at a higher strike price and a more distant expiration. Ideally, the roll will be made before the stock price is too close to the strike price.\nWatch the “strike risk” so you can act preemptively if needed. Calls that are out-of-the-money—meaning the strike price is higher than the actual stock price—are usually less expensive and easier to adjust than in-the-money calls.\nIn many ways, somnolent blue-chip stocks like Coca-Cola are ideal candidates for options-selling strategies. Investors tend to own lots of the stock, and may even have inherited the shares.\nThe risk to the approach—let’s call it the key drawback—is if the stock suddenly wakes up and starts to surge. This could happen if analysts or investors decide the company offers a reasonably priced way to monetize a key theme.\nFor Coca-Cola, the surge risk likely hingeson the reopening of the U.S. economy. Some of the stock’s recent weakness reflects the company’s reliance on restaurant sales to drive the business. The Covid-19 pandemic has shuttered restaurants, so an important revenue source has been temporarily interrupted.\nSo far, vaccination efforts are a major part of the bullish narrative used to describe why stock prices can go higher. As more people are vaccinated, life returns to normal, and we once more dine in restaurants, see movies, and gather together. The Street generally believes that there is a lot of pent-up demand for such activities after a year of us living apart, often in quarantine.\nA detailed argument for one side or the other, drawing evidence from declining hospitalization rates and increases in air travel, could be made. But perhaps all that is knowable is that Coca-Cola’s stock is weak and has lagged theS&P 500 indexfor the past year. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola’s options premiums offer investors a way to enhance the yield of a moribund stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":389904706,"gmtCreate":1612657814605,"gmtModify":1704873340840,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"scam!","listText":"scam!","text":"scam!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/389904706","repostId":"2109722637","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":35,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321620929,"gmtCreate":1615430422161,"gmtModify":1704782668788,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"short term?","listText":"short term?","text":"short term?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321620929","repostId":"2118960545","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2118960545","pubTimestamp":1615418755,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2118960545?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-11 07:25","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Roblox, after winning over kids, becomes hit on Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2118960545","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) -

The Roblox game world that has won over children around the world and became a pandemic hit scored big on Wall Street on Wednesday (March 10), as newly-listed shares surged.\nThe company's shares listed under the symbol RBLX on the New York Stock Exchange closed the trading day up 54 per cent to US$69.50, from a reference price of US$45 as part of so-called direct listing.\nThat gave the gaming platform and pandemic star a valuation of some US$40 billion (S$53.75 billion).\n\"We are deeply humbled by the overwhelming support for @Roblox and our public offering today,\" co-founder and chief executive David \"Builderman\" Baszucki said in a tweet.\n\"We recognise the potential ahead of us: to build the platform where billions of people come together to learn, work, and play.\"\nWith its Lego-like avatars and easy-to-learn coding for budding programmers, the online gaming app has become a thriving clubhouse for young gamers, most of them no older than 16.\nBy late last year, more than 31 million users daily were diving into Roblox on mobile, desktop, or console devices and cumulatively spending billions of hours there, according to the Silicon Valley based company.\n\"In an incredibly challenging year, Roblox became a crucial place for people to come together,\" Mr Baszucki said in a blog post.\nEvents that moved to Roblox virtual environs included birthday parties, get-togethers, graduation ceremonies, and company meetings.\nKids log on to the mobile app after school to guide their avatars through obstacle courses full of pitfalls, escape from jail, dive into a treasure hunt or even to build their own adventure park Big name brands and musicians have also taken to Roblox and its vision of a \"metaverse\" online world where people can freely express themselves.\nWarner Brothers and DC created a Wonder Woman game on Roblox to promote a new film with that super hero.\nUS Rapper Lil Nas X, staged a concert experience there, Mr Baszucki noted.\n\"And we're just scratching the surface,\" Mr Baszucki said.\n\"We see a future where tens of thousands of people can gather in a single instance to join a virtual business conference, attend a movie premiere, or watch their favorite artists perform live.\"\nGoing Direct\nBy opting to go public as a direct listing, like companies such as Spotify, Slack and Palantir have done, Roblox did not issue new shares on the exchange and therefore did not raise capital.\nInstead existing shareholders - such as founders, employees and initial investors - will be able to sell their portions on the market.\nThe platform allows users to create their own video games and gives them a share of related revenue.\nIt counted close to 33 million daily players in 2020, and revenue soared 82 per cent to US$924 million.\nBut the company founded in 2004 has yet to post a profit, due to the expenses on tech infrastructure, data protection and paying game makers.\nRoblox said it hired nearly 400 new employees in 2020, growing to 979 people, and that it bought an artificial intelligence startup with technology that can help it make avatars and scenes more realistic looking.\n\"Our vision has always been to simulate the physical world, both visually as well as physically,\" Mr Baszucki said.\nRoblox is available in over 180 countries and 11 different languages, growing fastest outside of North America, according to Mr Baszucki.\nCombining social networking and fresh supplies of new games has proven an addictive formula for children, but it will likely be years before Roblox turns profitable, according to analyst Boris Schlossberg of 60SecondInvestor.com.\n\"With Covid risk now starting to recede and the world returning to more physical activities can Roblox hold on to its base of users and expand into new markets beyond gaming?\" Mr Schlossberg asked rhetorically.\n\"The company has been the star of the pandemic and investors are hoping that like a supernova it will continue to shine for many years forward.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320789345,"gmtCreate":1615177299087,"gmtModify":1704779147700,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"roblox? wow didnt know they can make so much money","listText":"roblox? wow didnt know they can make so much money","text":"roblox? wow didnt know they can make so much money","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/320789345","repostId":"2117651365","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365944673,"gmtCreate":1614694016792,"gmtModify":1704774109326,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"sugar sugar","listText":"sugar sugar","text":"sugar sugar","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/365944673","repostId":"1103406593","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103406593","pubTimestamp":1614693752,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103406593?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-02 22:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sugar Rush -

The surge in GDP in 2021 is a continuation of the \"sugar rush\" of monetary interventions. However, notice economic growth \"crashes\" back to annual norms in 2022.</p>\n<p>The dashed black line is the average annual growth of GDP from 2007 at just 1.7%. (Without the addition of JPMorgan's estimates, the actual growth rate through 2020 was only 1.3%).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9629eb53dc18f1655fe49df3259efb8e\" tg-width=\"913\" tg-height=\"525\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>For reference, a rate of growth below 2% isn't strong enough to absorb population growth.</p>\n<blockquote>\n (Note: Prior to 2000, an economic growth rate of 2% was considered \"pre-recessionary.\" In order to justify excess spending and Government interventions, 2% growth is now considered a \"success\" of policy.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>It's All Been Artificial</b></p>\n<p>Here is the more significant issue. The vast majority of the growth in the U.S. over the last decade was due to a variety of artificial inputs which are not indefinitely sustainable. From increasing federal expenditures:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2516f49b7c1565d8d1451ce1c82f702d\" tg-width=\"912\" tg-height=\"525\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>And a litany of \"bailouts,\" which are a function of increased debts and deficits and massive monetary interventions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/724349a20ecbb1ec296a5399d6d3472e\" tg-width=\"910\" tg-height=\"521\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>While the economy may have \"appeared\" to grow during this period, economic growth would have been \"negative\" without debt increases.

An excellent example has been that consumer incomes are surging, which will support the economic \"sugar rush.\" A look at the chart below would undoubtedly suggest that to be true.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/209cc9c414434eee3f179dfde40d0155\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"490\"></p>\n<p>However, the reality is much less optimistic when you strip out \"government transfer payments.\" While the economy has rebounded, real disposable incomes remain below previous highs. Notably, of the next $1.9 trillion in stimulus, only roughly $900 billion flows to households.

As every parent knows, giving a child too much \"sugar\" leads to a \"rush\" of energy. Then comes the crash, where you find them in some odd place taking a nap.\nThe Coming Economic \"Rush\"\nRecently, JPMorgan joined the rest of the Wall Street banks in predicting a surge in economic activity for 2021 of 6.4%. Of course, the entire reasoning behind the rise in activity was due to \"stimulus.\"\n\n \"In a note to clients, JPM's chief economist Michael Feroli made the following forecast revisions:\n\nThe statement quickly lays out the premise of the \"rush and crash\" syndrome.\nThe chart below shows annual real GDP growth rates from 2008 to the present. The surge in GDP in 2021 is a continuation of the \"sugar rush\" of monetary interventions. However, notice economic growth \"crashes\" back to annual norms in 2022.\nThe dashed black line is the average annual growth of GDP from 2007 at just 1.7%. (Without the addition of JPMorgan's estimates, the actual growth rate through 2020 was only 1.3%).\n\nFor reference, a rate of growth below 2% isn't strong enough to absorb population growth.\n\n (Note: Prior to 2000, an economic growth rate of 2% was considered \"pre-recessionary.\" In order to justify excess spending and Government interventions, 2% growth is now considered a \"success\" of policy.\"\n\nIt's All Been Artificial\nHere is the more significant issue. The vast majority of the growth in the U.S. over the last decade was due to a variety of artificial inputs which are not indefinitely sustainable. From increasing federal expenditures:\n\nAnd a litany of \"bailouts,\" which are a function of increased debts and deficits and massive monetary interventions.\n\nWhile the economy may have \"appeared\" to grow during this period, economic growth would have been \"negative\" without debt increases. The chart below shows what economic growth would be without the increases in Federal debt.\n\nSuch is why, after more than a decade of monetary and fiscal interventions totaling more than$37 trillionand counting, the economy remains on \"life support.\"\n(It required roughly $12 in support to generate $1 of economic growth.)\n\nWhile the claims of a robust economy rely heavily upon a surge in consumer spending, it is a mirage of the increase in \"social benefits.\"\nReal Incomes Not Improving\nA significant problem with a bulk of the analysis put out by mainstream economists, and the media is that it often fails to examine the underlying causes. An excellent example has been that consumer incomes are surging, which will support the economic \"sugar rush.\" A look at the chart below would undoubtedly suggest that to be true.\n\nHowever, the reality is much less optimistic when you strip out \"government transfer payments.\" While the economy has rebounded, real disposable incomes remain below previous highs. Notably, of the next $1.9 trillion in stimulus, only roughly $900 billion flows to households. Such won't boost incomes markedly.\n\nThe chart below shows the problem more clearly. As noted above, the \"real\" economic prosperity of household incomes has not improved markedly without government supports. Such is why, at roughly 2% economic growth, nearly 1-in-3 households are dependent on some form of government handout.\n\nA Surge In The \"Welfare Trap\"\nThere is a massive disconnect between the \"stock market\" and the \"real economy.\" As we have discussed previously, the top10% of income earners own nearly 90%of the stock market.\n\nFor the bottom 80%, which drives the bulk of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), they continue to struggle to make ends meet. Such is why the dependency on social welfare now comprises one-third of total incomes. Other statistics are just as daunting.\n\n38 million Americans on food stamps\nAccording to the Census Bureau, an estimated 50% of the 330 million Americans get at least one federal benefit.\nAn estimated 63 million get Social Security; 59.9 million get Medicare; 75 million get Medicaid; 5 million get housing subsidies, and 4 million get Veterans' benefits.\n\nThose numbers continue to rise.\n\nWithout government largesse, many individuals would be living on the street. The chart above shows all the government \"welfare\" programs and current levels to date.\nThe problem with \"stimulus programs\" is that you can see the immediate subsequent contraction once the benefit depletes. Since one-third of incomes dependent on government transfers, it is not surprising that the economy struggles as recycled tax dollars used for consumption purposes have virtually no impact on the overall economy.\n\nIn fact, in the ongoing saga of the American economy's demise, U.S. households are now getting more in cash handouts from the government than they are paying in taxes for the first time since the Great Depression.\nSuch occurs when the current administration remains enthralled with finding some universe where socialistic programs lead to sustainable economic growth.\nIt doesn't.\nThe Coming \"Crash\"\nAs the stimulus hits consumers, they spend it rather quickly, which leads to a \"sugar rush\" of economic activity. Such as:\n\nConsumers use the funds to make either necessary or discretionary purchases creating demand.\nIn anticipation of demand, companies boost \"inventories.\"\nThe boost in \"inventory stocking\" boosts manufacturing metrics.\n\nWe are seeing this currently as manufacturing and inventory metrics surge.\nAs shown, the stimulus will lead to a short-term boost in PCE, which will correspond with increased economic growth. (PCE comprises nearly 70% of the calculation.)\n\nHowever, there is a \"dark side\" to stimulus-fueled activity.\n\nSince companies know the stimulus is \"temporary,\" they don't make long-term hiring and capital expenditure plans.\nThe increase in activity leads to an inflationary rise that companies have difficulty passing on to consumers, ultimately reducing profit margins.\nAgain, since companies know the stimulus is temporary, they opt for \"efficiencies,\" such as outsourcing and automation, to lower labor and production costs.\nAfter the stimulus gets depleted, consumers struggle with higher costs which further deteriorates their standard of living.\n\nUnless the Government is committed to a continuous stimulus, once the \"sugar rush\" fades, the economy will \"crash\" back to its organic state.\n\nThe bottom line is that America can't grow its way back to prosperity on the back of social assistance. The average American is fighting to make ends meet as their living cost rises while wage growth remains stagnant.\nDeflation Set To Return\nThat brings us to the hard truth.\nIf we assume even the most optimistic economic outcome of the current stimulus bill, the reality is that economic growth will remain mired in its long-term downtrend.\nAs the budget deficit grows over the next few years, interest payments alone will absorb a larger chunk of tax revenue. Such comes at a time when that same dollar of tax revenue only covers the entitlement spending of the 75 million baby boomers migrating into the social safety net.\nBy the way, the only other time government income support exceeded taxes paid was during the \"Great Depression\" from 1931 to 1936.\nThe debt problem remains a massive risk to monetary and fiscal policy. If rates rise, the negative impact on an indebted economy quickly depresses activity. More importantly, the decline in monetary velocity clearly shows that deflation is a persistent threat.\n\nNo Real Options\nThere are no real options unless the system is allowed to reset painfully.\nUnfortunately, given we now have a decade of experience of watching monetary experiments only succeed in creating a massive \"wealth gap,\" maybe we should consider the alternative.\nUltimately, the Federal Reserve, and the Administration, will have to face hard choices to extricate the economy from the current\"liquidity trap.\"However, history shows that political leadership never makes hard choices until those choices get forced upon them.\nMost telling is the current economists' inability, who maintain our monetary and fiscal policies, to realize the problem of trying to \"cure a debt problem with more debt.\"\nThe Keynesian view that \"more money in people's pockets\" will drive up consumer spending, with a boost to GDP being the result, has been wrong.

Historically, three months after that spread moved this wide, the VIX fell 11 points and the market rallied an average 12% with a move higher 87% of the time, they said.</p>\n<p>“Given the VIX is at a near-record premium to actual equity volatility, we think selling the ‘VIX bubble’ represents a good market opportunity,” the strategists wrote.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/090b90671c410c2de55d41f9901794b4\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"></p>\n<p>The VIX jumped a year ago as the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread and affect the global economy, sending markets into a tailspin. The gauge, which has a lifetime average around 19.5, has largely remained above 20 even as stocks hit record highs on encouraging pandemic news. It has also stayed high relative to measures of swings in&nbsp;other asset classes&nbsp;like credit and rates.</p>\n<p>There is one potential caveat for equity volatility investors.

Historically, three months after that spread moved this wide, the VIX fell 11 points and the market rallied an average 12% with a move higher 87% of the time, they said.\n“Given the VIX is at a near-record premium to actual equity volatility, we think selling the ‘VIX bubble’ represents a good market opportunity,” the strategists wrote.\n\nThe VIX jumped a year ago as the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread and affect the global economy, sending markets into a tailspin. The gauge, which has a lifetime average around 19.5, has largely remained above 20 even as stocks hit record highs on encouraging pandemic news. It has also stayed high relative to measures of swings in other asset classes like credit and rates.\nThere is one potential caveat for equity volatility investors. Michael Purves, the CEO of Tallbacken CapitalAdvisorsLLC, said there are fewer participants willing to bet on declining swings after the culling of the short-volatility industry via VIX spikes in 2018 and March 2020.

He suggests selling April S&P calls or puts on April VIX futures, noting the steep difference between March and April VIX futures.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360983802,"gmtCreate":1613809844806,"gmtModify":1704885278388,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nope. that's not the business model. if you consider as employee then the charges to customer will definitely increase and business model changed drastically.","listText":"nope. that's not the business model. if you consider as employee then the charges to customer will definitely increase and business model changed drastically.","text":"nope. that's not the business model. if you consider as employee then the charges to customer will definitely increase and business model changed drastically.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360983802","repostId":"1194607255","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194607255","pubTimestamp":1613728971,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194607255?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-19 18:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber drivers should be classified as workers not independent contractors, top UK court rules","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194607255","media":"cnbc","summary":"LONDON —Uberlost a crucial legal fight in the U.K. on Friday, as the country's Supreme Court upheld ","content":"<div>\n<p>LONDON —Uberlost a crucial legal fight in the U.K. on Friday, as the country's Supreme Court upheld a ruling that its drivers should be classified as workers rather than independent contractors.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/19/uk-supreme-court-rules-uber-drivers-are-workers-not-contractors.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;

In the past week, it has turned into a flood, helping to push the price of Bitcoin to a record of $48,297 on Thursday.</p><p>The most buzzworthy move came from Tesla (ticker: TSLA), which disclosed on Monday that it hasbought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcointo hold on its balance sheet. The company plans to let consumers use the currency to pay for cars.</p><p>But Tesla isn’t the only one. On Thursday, BNY Mellon (BK), the oldest bank in the U.S.,said it will hold and transfer cryptocurrencies for customers. “Growing client demand for digital assets, maturity of advanced solutions, and improving regulatory clarity present a tremendous opportunity for us to extend our current service offerings to this emerging field,” said Roman Regelman, the bank’s CEO of asset servicing and head of digital.</p><p>Mastercard (MA) said on Wednesday that it will let merchants accept some cryptocurrencies through its network later this year. The payments will be converted to traditional money before it enters the companies’ systems.Twitter(TWTR) is also considering a Bitcoin investment. And Square (SQ) has already put some on its balance sheet, as well as given users of its Cash App access to buy the cryptocurrency.</p><p>Why is this happening now? Cryptocurrencies are still not particularly useful outside of a very few cases, such as cross-border transactions. Even there, they haven’t fully taken hold.</p><p>There are at least four big reasons corporations are diving in.</p><p>One is that some company founders believe in Bitcoin. Their excitement about the asset has convinced them that their companies need to be involved, or have cryptocurrency investments, even if Bitcoin isn’t really the core of their operations. That appears to be the case for Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, and for a software company calledMicrostrategyand its CEO, Michael Saylor.</p><p>Microstrategy, whose entire market capitalization was below $1 billion early last year, now owns more than $2 billion of Bitcoin, and its market cap is now just under $10 billion. Saylor told<i>Barron’s</i>&nbsp;in an interview last yearthat he sees Bitcoin as a hedge against monetary debasement and inflation.</p><p>Square CEO Jack Dorsey ‘s fascination with Bitcoin also likely sped Square’s adoption. He has spoken about his interest in the currency for years.</p><p>Tesla’s purchase of Bitcoin is strong marketing for the company and the currency, said Dan Morehead, founder of the crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital. But it won’t likely change the way Bitcoin is used. “Tesla sells a half a million cars a year,” he said. “If they sold 4% in Bitcoin, I’d be surprised.” Morehead thinks Bitoin’s growing use for cross-border payments is much more exciting from a practical perspective.</p><p>Other companies are getting into Bitcoin because of customer demand. That appears to be the case for BNY Mellon, which is not known for making risky bets on new technologies. It could stay out of the industry altogether, but more institutional investors are buying Bitcoin and need somewhere to put it.</p><p>And the infrastructure around Bitcoin has grown, so that it now more closely resembles the systems used in the rest of the world of finance.. Big companies now insure cryptocurrencies or—as in the case ofJPMorgan Chase(JPM)—offer services to cryptocurrency businesses, even if most still don’t hold Bitcoin on their own balance sheets.</p><p>A third reason is increasing government acceptance of the trend. BNY cited greater regulatory clarity around Bitcoin as one reason it is diving in. The U.S. government has taken a mostly laissez-faire approach to regulating digital assets even as many of the illegal activities that cryptocurrency has been associated with in the past have continued. Without at least the tacit approval of regulators, crypto couldn’t have landed on the balance sheets of so many companies.</p><p>A fourth reason cryptocurrencies are gaining hold in corporate boardrooms is that they serve multiple purposes. That gives corporations several different rationales to hold the coins, or offer related services. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to go well beyond Bitcoin’s initial premise as a way to send money without financial intermediaries. So-called stablecoins, whose value is meant to track fiat currencies, could allow for faster transactions for some kinds of financial services, for instance.</p><p>Visa(V) andMasterCardseem like the last places in the world that Bitcoin would take hold given that Bitcoin was created to eliminate the middlemen in finance. Few companies fill the role of middleman as perfectly as the credit-card processors. Visa, however, thinks that cryptocurrencies are useful for many other purposes, and its trusted brand makes it an important player, according to Cuy Sheffield, head of crypto at the company.</p><p>“We’ve seen growing demand from clients across the world that want to be able to plug in and use these networks, but they want a global, neutral, trusted brand, to help them be able to do that,” Sheffield said in an interview. Visa said last week it has created software that allows bank customers to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through lenders’ websites.</p><p>Will old-line financial companies be the biggest beneficiaries of the crypto “revolution”? Michael Venuto, the chief investment officer of Toroso Investments, doesn’t think it will be easy for them to dominate this new world. Toroso created theAmplify Transformational Data SharingETF (ticker: BLOK), which invests in public companies involved in the technology behind Bitcoin.</p><p>“In terms of the self-referenced paradox of the old economy accepting the blockchain, it is simply inevitable,” Venuto wrote in an email to<i>Barron’s</i>. “If they don’t explore the blockchain they will be extinct.

In the past week, it has turned into a flood, helping to push the price of Bitcoin to a record of $48,297 on Thursday.The most buzzworthy move came from Tesla (ticker: TSLA), which disclosed on Monday that it hasbought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcointo hold on its balance sheet. The company plans to let consumers use the currency to pay for cars.But Tesla isn’t the only one. On Thursday, BNY Mellon (BK), the oldest bank in the U.S.,said it will hold and transfer cryptocurrencies for customers. “Growing client demand for digital assets, maturity of advanced solutions, and improving regulatory clarity present a tremendous opportunity for us to extend our current service offerings to this emerging field,” said Roman Regelman, the bank’s CEO of asset servicing and head of digital.Mastercard (MA) said on Wednesday that it will let merchants accept some cryptocurrencies through its network later this year. The payments will be converted to traditional money before it enters the companies’ systems.Twitter(TWTR) is also considering a Bitcoin investment. And Square (SQ) has already put some on its balance sheet, as well as given users of its Cash App access to buy the cryptocurrency.Why is this happening now? Cryptocurrencies are still not particularly useful outside of a very few cases, such as cross-border transactions. Even there, they haven’t fully taken hold.There are at least four big reasons corporations are diving in.One is that some company founders believe in Bitcoin. Their excitement about the asset has convinced them that their companies need to be involved, or have cryptocurrency investments, even if Bitcoin isn’t really the core of their operations. That appears to be the case for Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, and for a software company calledMicrostrategyand its CEO, Michael Saylor.Microstrategy, whose entire market capitalization was below $1 billion early last year, now owns more than $2 billion of Bitcoin, and its market cap is now just under $10 billion. Saylor toldBarron’s in an interview last yearthat he sees Bitcoin as a hedge against monetary debasement and inflation.Square CEO Jack Dorsey ‘s fascination with Bitcoin also likely sped Square’s adoption. He has spoken about his interest in the currency for years.Tesla’s purchase of Bitcoin is strong marketing for the company and the currency, said Dan Morehead, founder of the crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital. But it won’t likely change the way Bitcoin is used. “Tesla sells a half a million cars a year,” he said. “If they sold 4% in Bitcoin, I’d be surprised.” Morehead thinks Bitoin’s growing use for cross-border payments is much more exciting from a practical perspective.Other companies are getting into Bitcoin because of customer demand. That appears to be the case for BNY Mellon, which is not known for making risky bets on new technologies. It could stay out of the industry altogether, but more institutional investors are buying Bitcoin and need somewhere to put it.And the infrastructure around Bitcoin has grown, so that it now more closely resembles the systems used in the rest of the world of finance.. Big companies now insure cryptocurrencies or—as in the case ofJPMorgan Chase(JPM)—offer services to cryptocurrency businesses, even if most still don’t hold Bitcoin on their own balance sheets.A third reason is increasing government acceptance of the trend. BNY cited greater regulatory clarity around Bitcoin as one reason it is diving in. The U.S. government has taken a mostly laissez-faire approach to regulating digital assets even as many of the illegal activities that cryptocurrency has been associated with in the past have continued. Without at least the tacit approval of regulators, crypto couldn’t have landed on the balance sheets of so many companies.A fourth reason cryptocurrencies are gaining hold in corporate boardrooms is that they serve multiple purposes. That gives corporations several different rationales to hold the coins, or offer related services. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to go well beyond Bitcoin’s initial premise as a way to send money without financial intermediaries. So-called stablecoins, whose value is meant to track fiat currencies, could allow for faster transactions for some kinds of financial services, for instance.Visa(V) andMasterCardseem like the last places in the world that Bitcoin would take hold given that Bitcoin was created to eliminate the middlemen in finance. Few companies fill the role of middleman as perfectly as the credit-card processors. Visa, however, thinks that cryptocurrencies are useful for many other purposes, and its trusted brand makes it an important player, according to Cuy Sheffield, head of crypto at the company.“We’ve seen growing demand from clients across the world that want to be able to plug in and use these networks, but they want a global, neutral, trusted brand, to help them be able to do that,” Sheffield said in an interview. Visa said last week it has created software that allows bank customers to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through lenders’ websites.Will old-line financial companies be the biggest beneficiaries of the crypto “revolution”? Michael Venuto, the chief investment officer of Toroso Investments, doesn’t think it will be easy for them to dominate this new world. Toroso created theAmplify Transformational Data SharingETF (ticker: BLOK), which invests in public companies involved in the technology behind Bitcoin.“In terms of the self-referenced paradox of the old economy accepting the blockchain, it is simply inevitable,” Venuto wrote in an email toBarron’s. “If they don’t explore the blockchain they will be extinct. They understand that, but they are not aware of how big the changes will be or how fast they will happen. They have to evolve, but evolution can be messy.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":15,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":389904483,"gmtCreate":1612657773842,"gmtModify":1704873340678,"author":{"id":"3574597457129986","authorId":"3574597457129986","name":"dessyag","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b12eaa6588dc6f5c33db538d6fe96d26","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/389904483","repostId":"1161551882","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":37,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
