Since then, many players have joined the space - and you can’t blame them, the model of on-demand streaming is more streamlined (pardon-the-pun) and scalable than traditional distribution methods. It has provided those with valuable intellectual property such as movies and TV shows a new and efficient way to monetize these assets.</p>\n<p>Some expect the on-demand streaming industry to reach 2 billion users by 2025, which would be a 65% increase from 2020 figures.</p>\n<p>Being the first mover 14 years ago has allowed Netflix to get a headstart in acquiring users and building its market-leading user base of 204m. However, this lead will not be easy to maintain. In this piece, we want to cover Netflix’s strategies to get where it is today, how it could maintain its lead and what that will do to the business’ economics.</p>\n<h2><b>Netflix’s strategy</b></h2>\n<p>Netflix is a streaming service for content. Its strategy was simple: grow its subscriber base to reach scale quickly by distributing quality content through a great user experience. Then, once it reaches scale, create its own content to become less reliant on external studios and allow itself to generate higher margins through fixed production costs rather than variable licensing fees.</p>\n<p>In the early days, this content was all licensed from other studios that actually owned the rights. Netflix paid them licensing fees and, before the company had scale, it was at the mercy of these content providers. Until Netflix was to reach scale (a large enough paying user base), this model typically benefitted the content owners more than the content distributors.</p>\n<p>That’s why in 2013, when the company reached 34m paying subscribers, it began to generate its own content. One of its first productions was the hugely successful and award-winning <i>House of Cards</i>. As the company has continued to grow its user base, it has continued to create its own content in house. By February 2021, when Netflix surpassed 204m paying subscribers, the company reportedly had around 1,500 Netflix original titles, which was roughly 10% of its total international library of 15,000 titles.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2c3b3b37fcfc1064cfda24c06d0284\" tg-width=\"1122\" tg-height=\"1006\"><span>Source: Netflix</span></p>\n<p>Since Netflix has now reached scale and established a market leading position, it needs to continue doubling down on the second part of its strategy to maintain that lead, which is: make more of its own content.</p>\n<h2><b>Maintaining its lead</b></h2>\n<p>It’s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> thing to generate a lead, but it’s another to maintain it. Since there’s plenty of streaming options out there such as Disney+, Amazon Prime, Youtube Premium, and users are spoilt for choice. However, while these consumers have a vast array of content at their fingertips, not all of it is “great” content and they only have so much spare time to consume it. That’s why Netflix’s goal is for consumers to “choose Netflix in their moments of free time”. To do this, Netflix knows it needs to provide unique content that is more appealing than others, and deliver it through a seamless user experience.</p>\n<p>Since the company seems to have the user experience mostly in order, a lot of its focus has been on growing the amount of unique content it serves, especially its originals. And we can see Netflix’s shift in spending in the company's cost of revenue expense and the company’s content assets.</p>\n<p>Netflix’s cost of revenue is its primary expense and was $15.2bn for 2020 (61% of revenue). Two thirds of this ($10.8bn) is made up of the amortization of its content assets.</p>\n<p>Amortization is a method for writing off the cost of the content over its useful life, rather than incurring the cost up front. On average, over 90% of Netflix’s licensed or produced content is amortized over 4 years. So for example, on average, a $100m license fee for a TV show might be amortized at $25m per year over 4 years instead of all at once.</p>\n<p>The chart below shows just how much amortization of content has occurred leading up to 2019 as well as cash spend on content.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf9c9277c0f8a9fba4bf1fb9d9b5e3c5\" tg-width=\"1508\" tg-height=\"818\"><span>Source: Next Level Finance</span></p>\n<p>You’ll notice the cash spend column beside the amortization column. Cash spend is recorded in the statement of cash flows and represents the money Netflix spends upfront to produce its own content. Importantly, this disparity between the two columns reflects that the company is spending more on producing its own content since cash spend is increasing at a faster rate than amortization.</p>\n<p>For 2020, content amortization reached $10.8bn and cash spend reduced to $12.5bn, but it was still higher than the amortization expense.</p>\n<p>This transition of increasing spend on original content then shows up in the company’s content assets split too.</p>\n<p>In 2016, the company had $11bn worth of content assets, which was split between 86% licensed content, and 14% original content. However, by 2020, content assets reached $25bn and the split was now 54% licensed to 46% original. This shift is helping the company become less at risk of studios pulling their content, because it has more of its own to showcase.</p>\n<p>Releasing and owning unique titles such as Stranger Things, House of Cards, The Crown, The Witcher, or The Queen’s Gambit are crucial for Netflix to maintain its lead. It gives their existing users all the more reason to keep their subscriptions as new titles like these are released, and it gives prospective users all the more reason to sign up if they want to view these exclusives.</p>\n<p>This transition to original content is helping the company build its own moat by becoming less reliant on external providers. As Netflix becomes both the producer and distributor of a larger portion of its content library, this creates a lot of operating leverage and thus helps the company’s bottom line.</p>\n<h2><b>How this impacts the economics</b></h2>\n<p>The positive financial impact of reaching a huge operating scale in a business like Netflix cannot be understated. Additionally, the expansion of originals in its content library exaggerates the positive effects that scale has on the company’s bottom line. This effect can already be seen over the last five years, and analysts expect this to continue over the next five.</p>\n<p>In 2016, net profit margins were only 2.1% but reached 11% in 2020. This is thanks to the 120% increase in paying subscribers (to 204m) and the aforementioned increase in fixed cost original content. Looking forward, analysts expect further growth in revenue and earnings thanks to more subscriber growth and an increase in original content as a percentage of total titles. By 2025, the company is expected to double revenue to $51bn and increase earnings more than 4-fold to $12bn, which would result in further net margin expansion to 23.5%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90dda28b7a97c864def67fed7695916e\" tg-width=\"1702\" tg-height=\"1186\"><span>Source: Earnings and Revenue Growth Forecasts - NASDAQ:NFLX - Simply Wall St</span></p>\n<p>It should be noted that while Netflix will need to continue creating its own content to remain relevant and satisfy user demand, its scale is now at a stage where this is affordable.</p>\n<p>Additionally, with this leading scale, those studios that do license their content to Netflix (because they don’t have a streaming platform of their own) will either have to start one of their own from square one and find users to make it economical, or look for a better license deal from a different streaming service (which might be difficult given Netflix is the biggest and likely able to pay them the most).</p>\n<h2><b>Summing it up</b></h2>\n<p>Netflix’s core focus for a long time has been its subscriber growth since this is key to becoming profitable. The company’s growing investment into originals is aimed at acquiring even more users, and its vast library of titles is used to retain them. Both its scale and unique content help to solidify the company’s moat and let it generate more profit from each piece of content.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) was the pioneer back in 2007 with its “Watch Now” service. Since then, many players have joined the space - and you can’t blame them, the model of on-demand streaming is more streamlined (pardon-the-pun) and scalable than traditional distribution methods. It has provided those with valuable intellectual property such as movies and TV shows a new and efficient way to monetize these assets.\nSome expect the on-demand streaming industry to reach 2 billion users by 2025, which would be a 65% increase from 2020 figures.\nBeing the first mover 14 years ago has allowed Netflix to get a headstart in acquiring users and building its market-leading user base of 204m. However, this lead will not be easy to maintain. In this piece, we want to cover Netflix’s strategies to get where it is today, how it could maintain its lead and what that will do to the business’ economics.\nNetflix’s strategy\nNetflix is a streaming service for content. Its strategy was simple: grow its subscriber base to reach scale quickly by distributing quality content through a great user experience. Then, once it reaches scale, create its own content to become less reliant on external studios and allow itself to generate higher margins through fixed production costs rather than variable licensing fees.\nIn the early days, this content was all licensed from other studios that actually owned the rights. Netflix paid them licensing fees and, before the company had scale, it was at the mercy of these content providers. Until Netflix was to reach scale (a large enough paying user base), this model typically benefitted the content owners more than the content distributors.\nThat’s why in 2013, when the company reached 34m paying subscribers, it began to generate its own content. One of its first productions was the hugely successful and award-winning House of Cards. As the company has continued to grow its user base, it has continued to create its own content in house. By February 2021, when Netflix surpassed 204m paying subscribers, the company reportedly had around 1,500 Netflix original titles, which was roughly 10% of its total international library of 15,000 titles.\nSource: Netflix\nSince Netflix has now reached scale and established a market leading position, it needs to continue doubling down on the second part of its strategy to maintain that lead, which is: make more of its own content.\nMaintaining its lead\nIt’s one thing to generate a lead, but it’s another to maintain it. Since there’s plenty of streaming options out there such as Disney+, Amazon Prime, Youtube Premium, and users are spoilt for choice. However, while these consumers have a vast array of content at their fingertips, not all of it is “great” content and they only have so much spare time to consume it. That’s why Netflix’s goal is for consumers to “choose Netflix in their moments of free time”. To do this, Netflix knows it needs to provide unique content that is more appealing than others, and deliver it through a seamless user experience.\nSince the company seems to have the user experience mostly in order, a lot of its focus has been on growing the amount of unique content it serves, especially its originals. And we can see Netflix’s shift in spending in the company's cost of revenue expense and the company’s content assets.\nNetflix’s cost of revenue is its primary expense and was $15.2bn for 2020 (61% of revenue). Two thirds of this ($10.8bn) is made up of the amortization of its content assets.\nAmortization is a method for writing off the cost of the content over its useful life, rather than incurring the cost up front. On average, over 90% of Netflix’s licensed or produced content is amortized over 4 years. So for example, on average, a $100m license fee for a TV show might be amortized at $25m per year over 4 years instead of all at once.\nThe chart below shows just how much amortization of content has occurred leading up to 2019 as well as cash spend on content.\nSource: Next Level Finance\nYou’ll notice the cash spend column beside the amortization column. Cash spend is recorded in the statement of cash flows and represents the money Netflix spends upfront to produce its own content. Importantly, this disparity between the two columns reflects that the company is spending more on producing its own content since cash spend is increasing at a faster rate than amortization.\nFor 2020, content amortization reached $10.8bn and cash spend reduced to $12.5bn, but it was still higher than the amortization expense.\nThis transition of increasing spend on original content then shows up in the company’s content assets split too.\nIn 2016, the company had $11bn worth of content assets, which was split between 86% licensed content, and 14% original content. However, by 2020, content assets reached $25bn and the split was now 54% licensed to 46% original. This shift is helping the company become less at risk of studios pulling their content, because it has more of its own to showcase.\nReleasing and owning unique titles such as Stranger Things, House of Cards, The Crown, The Witcher, or The Queen’s Gambit are crucial for Netflix to maintain its lead. It gives their existing users all the more reason to keep their subscriptions as new titles like these are released, and it gives prospective users all the more reason to sign up if they want to view these exclusives.\nThis transition to original content is helping the company build its own moat by becoming less reliant on external providers. As Netflix becomes both the producer and distributor of a larger portion of its content library, this creates a lot of operating leverage and thus helps the company’s bottom line.\nHow this impacts the economics\nThe positive financial impact of reaching a huge operating scale in a business like Netflix cannot be understated. Additionally, the expansion of originals in its content library exaggerates the positive effects that scale has on the company’s bottom line. This effect can already be seen over the last five years, and analysts expect this to continue over the next five.\nIn 2016, net profit margins were only 2.1% but reached 11% in 2020. This is thanks to the 120% increase in paying subscribers (to 204m) and the aforementioned increase in fixed cost original content. Looking forward, analysts expect further growth in revenue and earnings thanks to more subscriber growth and an increase in original content as a percentage of total titles. By 2025, the company is expected to double revenue to $51bn and increase earnings more than 4-fold to $12bn, which would result in further net margin expansion to 23.5%.\nSource: Earnings and Revenue Growth Forecasts - NASDAQ:NFLX - Simply Wall St\nIt should be noted that while Netflix will need to continue creating its own content to remain relevant and satisfy user demand, its scale is now at a stage where this is affordable.\nAdditionally, with this leading scale, those studios that do license their content to Netflix (because they don’t have a streaming platform of their own) will either have to start one of their own from square one and find users to make it economical, or look for a better license deal from a different streaming service (which might be difficult given Netflix is the biggest and likely able to pay them the most).\nSumming it up\nNetflix’s core focus for a long time has been its subscriber growth since this is key to becoming profitable. The company’s growing investment into originals is aimed at acquiring even more users, and its vast library of titles is used to retain them. Both its scale and unique content help to solidify the company’s moat and let it generate more profit from each piece of content. Analysts expect that this trend of user growth and original content creation will continue, and as a result, growth in Netflix’s top and bottom line is expected to persist out to at least 2025.\nWhile all of this growth is impressive, it did come with some strings attached. Netflix levered up and by 2020 year end it had $16bn in debt.

The odds aren't in GameStop's favor, but it's shaping up to be an incredible story either way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":630,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3570517865216539","authorId":"3570517865216539","name":"Big__Boss","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c36c2fe68f671064d7d1fd9b7268165","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3570517865216539","authorIdStr":"3570517865216539"},"content":"can response me bro ?","text":"can response me bro ?","html":"can response me bro ?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150267085,"gmtCreate":1624914560447,"gmtModify":1703847653022,"author":{"id":"3574767847289890","authorId":"3574767847289890","name":"KennethHi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574767847289890","authorIdStr":"3574767847289890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"great !","listText":"great !","text":"great !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150267085","repostId":"1184667820","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327974153,"gmtCreate":1616055725772,"gmtModify":1704790288789,"author":{"id":"3574767847289890","authorId":"3574767847289890","name":"KennethHi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574767847289890","authorIdStr":"3574767847289890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"love netflix","listText":"love netflix","text":"love netflix","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327974153","repostId":"2120580281","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":417,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350975685,"gmtCreate":1616156223347,"gmtModify":1704791631380,"author":{"id":"3574767847289890","authorId":"3574767847289890","name":"KennethHi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574767847289890","authorIdStr":"3574767847289890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"go go pot company&nbsp;","listText":"go go pot company&nbsp;","text":"go go pot company","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350975685","repostId":"1138846673","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1138846673","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616152403,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1138846673?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Pot Stock: Sundial Growers or Tilray?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1138846673","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Here's how these two hot marijuana stocks compare.No cannabis stocks have attracted more attention i","content":"<blockquote>Here's how these two hot marijuana stocks compare.</blockquote><p>No cannabis stocks have attracted more attention in 2021 so far than<b>Sundial Growers</b>(NASDAQ:SNDL)and<b>Tilray</b>(NASDAQ:TLRY).

Tilray is growing faster than Sundial and seems to have stronger growth prospects going forward with the Aphria merger on the way. It claims a stronger financial position than Sundial and, to top things off, Tilray's valuation is slightly more attractive right now.

For you math-phobes out there, this works out to a double-digit decline once every 1.87 years. Crashes are common, and there are always catalysts waiting in the wings to send the market screaming lower.</p><p>For example, the Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for the S&amp;P 500 -- a measure of the average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years -- nearly hit 36 this week. That's well over double the 150-year average of 16.8. What's more, the previous four times the S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E ratio topped (and sustained) 30, the indexlost a minimum of 20%.</p><p>Additionally, margin use among retail investors is up. According to a Harris poll released in September, 43% of retail investors are relying on leverage, whether that means buying on margin or using options in an attempt to time the market. If things get moving in the wrong direction, margin calls could seriously hurt the stock market.</p><p>But there's good news here, as well.</p><p>Each and every stock market crash and correction in history has proved to be a buying opportunity for long-term investors.

With this in mind, the following three unbeatablegrowth stockswould be the perfect buys if the market crashes.</p><p><b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b></p><p>Following its stellar fiscal fourth-quarter operating results,cybersecurity stock<b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>(NASDAQ:CRWD)is looking like an absolute must-own if a market crash occurs.</p><p>On a macro basis, there should be a double-digit annualized growth opportunity for cybersecurity companies throughout the decade. Businesses were already moving their data into the cloud well before the coronavirus pandemic hit. The past year has simply accelerated an existing trend and generated even more demand for third-party solutions.</p><p>What makes CrowdStrike such a studis the company's Falcon security platform. Falcon is cloud native, responsible for overseeing more than 3 trillion events each week, and is leaning on artificial intelligence (AI) to grow smarter over time. In layman's terms, Falcon can respond to potential threats much faster than in-house security solutions, and in many cases, it can do so at a cheaper overall cost.</p><p>What's become readily apparent is that CrowdStrike's clients love the product. Over the past 15 quarters (three years, nine months), the percentage of customers with at least four cloud module subscriptions has catapulted from 9% to 63%. What's more, the company has a 12-quarter streak of its dollar-based retention rate topping at least 123%. This means existing customers are spending at least 23% more year over year on subscription services. That's not a surprising figure when you realize that 98% of clients are retained year over year.</p><p>But possibly the craziest thing of all about CrowdStrike is that the company's long-term subscription gross margin target of 75% to 80%-plushas already been achieved, despite the company still being in the early innings of its growth. CrowdStrike has all the makings of a dominant force in cybersecurity solutions.</p><p><b>Teladoc Health</b></p><p>Another growth stock investors can comfortably pile into during a stock market crash is telemedicine giant<b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:TDOC).</p><p>As you might have rightly guessed, Teladoc benefited in a big way from the coronavirus pandemic. With physicians and hospitals aiming to keep potentially infected patients and people with chronic health conditions in their homes, the medical community turned in big numbers for virtual visits. In total, Teladoc handled just shy of 10.6 million virtual visits in 2020, up from 4.14 million visits in the prior-year period.</p><p>The big question is: Can Teladoc's growth continue in a post-pandemic environment? The answer ishighly likely to be yes. That's because telehealth is extremely convenient for patients and can help physicians better monitor chronically ill patients. Best of all, virtual visits are usually billed at a lower rate than office visits, which makes telehealth an instant hit with health insurers.</p><p>Teladoc's acquisition ofleading applied health-signals companyLivongo Health also gives it a competitive edge. Livongo is a data-driven company that relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to send its subscribers tips and nudges to help them lead healthier lives. Livongo has secured more than 500,000 diabetics as subscribers and has plans to expand its service to cover hypertension and weight management. In my estimate, Livongo's services could encompass in the neighborhood of 40% of the U.S. population.</p><p>As a combined entity, Teladoc and Livongo have the ability to cross-sell, too. With both companies working toward personalizing the care process and improving care oversight, Teladoc looks like a good bet to be one of the fastest-growinghealthcare stocksof the decade.</p><p><b>Amazon</b></p><p>Finally, when the stock market crashes next, don't be afraid to pull the trigger on shares of e-commerce kingpin<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN).</p><p>If you're noticing a trend here, it's that many of the fastest-growing companies benefited from the pandemic -- more specifically, the shift toward online consumption or data storage. Last year, Amazonregistered $386.1 billion in sales, which represents an increase of $105.6 billion, or 38%, from the prior-year period. No one on Wall Street is used to megacap companies growing this robustly.</p><p>One reason Amazon is such a successful company is its sheer dominance of online retail. According to eMarketer, Amazon's U.S. online retail share is expected tojump 100 basis points to 39.7% in 2021. Put another way, $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the U.S. is routed through Amazon.</p><p>Even though retail margins are nothing to write home about, this sheer dominance has helped the company sign up well over 150 million people worldwide to a Prime subscription. The fees Amazon generates from Prime help it to undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price.</p><p>Amazon is also a leader in cloud infrastructure services. Amazon Web Services (AWS) grew sales by 30% in 2020 -- i.e., during the worst economic downturn in decades. Despite accounting for only 11.8% of total sales last year, the exceptionally high margins associated with cloud infrastructure helped AWS bring in $13.5 billion of Amazon's $22.9 billion in operating income. As AWS grows into a larger percentage of total sales,operating cash flow is going to soar.</p><p>After regularly being valued at between 23 and 37 times year-end cash flow, Amazon's current share price has it on pace for a multiple relative to cash flow of sub-15 in 2023. That makes it a bargain you'll want to scoop up on any major dip.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Unbeatable Growth Stocks to Buy If the Market Crashes</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\">\n3 Unbeatable Growth Stocks to Buy If the Market Crashes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-19 19:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/3-unbeatable-growth-stocks-buy-if-market-crashes/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A plunging stock market would allow investors to scoop up these superior businesses at a discount.You might not like what I'm about to say, but history says it's a fact:Stock market crashes are ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/3-unbeatable-growth-stocks-buy-if-market-crashes/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/3-unbeatable-growth-stocks-buy-if-market-crashes/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1188846193","content_text":"A plunging stock market would allow investors to scoop up these superior businesses at a discount.You might not like what I'm about to say, but history says it's a fact:Stock market crashes are inevitable.Over the past 71 years, the benchmarkS&P 500has undergone 38 corrections and crashes that led to a double-digit decline in the index.

That makes it a bargain you'll want to scoop up on any major dip.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":445,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350971259,"gmtCreate":1616155875671,"gmtModify":1704791626677,"author":{"id":"3574767847289890","authorId":"3574767847289890","name":"KennethHi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574767847289890","authorIdStr":"3574767847289890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GME to the moon","listText":"GME to the moon","text":"GME to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350971259","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143733672","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616152692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143733672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143733672","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's a GameStop world.
