It comes amid the biggest move for silverfuturessince at least 2013.The sharp move higher builds off gains for silver and silver-related equities late last week. Silver mining stocksCoeur MiningandPan American Silverrose 16.9% and 14.7%, respectively, on Thursday and Friday. The iShares Silver Trust jumped 6.7% during those two sessions.The spike in demand for silver appears to be related to retail traders in the Reddit forum WallStreetBets, which has helped drive trading activity in heavily shorted stocks likeGameStopandAMC Entertainmentin recent weeks.The forum had multiple active threads dedicated to silver on Sunday night. The phrase ”#silversqueeze” was also trending on Twitter.The move in silver was touted by investors who are bullish on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which see the new digital assets in part as replacements for traditional metals.Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency firm Gemini, said on twitter that, “The ramifications of a#silversqueezecannot be underestimated.

Airbnb declined to say how many cancellations were made before the inauguration. Its competitor, VRBO, also declined to say if its own reviews had led to cancellations.</p><p>Airbnb's policy did not appear to be comprehensive in addressing potential for violence in state capitals. While Airbnb had publicly said it reviewed reservations in select state capitals, such as Lansing, Sacramento, Olympia and Carson City, it declined to say before the inauguration if it had done so in every state capital.</p><p><b>Airbnb looks ahead</b></p><p>Airbnb has set a precedent on how it will deal with risk of violence at major events like presidential inaugurations, whether it's from the far-right as was the case this month, or other groups. While similar events will hopefully be rare, some in the travel industry are taking notice and seeking more collaboration to improve safety.</p><p>Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president, public affairs and policy at U.S. Travel Association, which represents travel industry companies like Airbnb and Expedia Group, believes that there could be more coordination and information sharing in the future to benefit the industry.

There were Obama-os, \"the breakfast of change,\" and Captain McCains, \"a maverick in every bite,\" as Chesky has recalled in interviews. Money had been so tight that year, Chesky said, that he lost 20 pounds as he ate less.Luckily, the cereal gimmick was a hit, selling out in days, Chesky said in a 2013 interview with the tech publication Pando. Airbnb sold about $30,000 of cereal, and got mostly out of debt, he said. Politics could be part of the marketing strategy, especially for a company just scraping by.Just over 13 years later, Chesky doesn't have to worry about his next meal. He's worth billions of dollars after Airbnb's December 2020 initial public offering. The company's stock doubled on its first day.But the most recent presidential election and inauguration have proven radically different than the first for which Airbnb was around.In a world in which American corporations can no longer maintain a sense of detached indifference, Chesky and Airbnb must increasingly wrangle with politics and power beyond what a company like Airbnb would usually have to deal with, as Washington, DC's violent insurrection illustrated. Few in the hospitality industry could have imagined having to consider issues like an insurrection when Chesky first launched Airbnb.But somehow, Chesky and Airbnb might come out on top all over again.Airbnb makes a callEarlier this month, Airbnb hosts were alarmed to find their homes used as staging grounds for violence. Calls came for Airbnb and competitors to restrict rentals.\"Residents throughout the District endured severe trauma with evacuations of residences and businesses,\" wrote 70 DC Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, neighborhood governing bodies of elected officials, in a letter calling for hotels, Airbnb and VRBO to not rent during inauguration week. \"There are strong indications these individuals plan to return to the District during Inauguration week to wreak havoc on our city.\"Organizers calling for a DC shutdown said that their volunteers messaged 3,400 DC Airbnb hosts and encouraged them not to rent their properties.Chesky and Airbnb faced questions of their responsibility to the American democracy. Any move in either direction could have had a significant financial impact on Airbnb, as presidential inaugurations historically attract thousands of visitors who are willing to pay top dollar to stay in the nation's capital.Chesky had to navigate the question of whether his response to the insurrection would be well-received by Wall Street investors. Airbnb's reputation was on the line.Get it right, and Chesky would look like a responsible corporate steward. (Both Chesky and Airbnb declined to comment for this story.)Days after the Capitol insurrection, Airbnb released a \"Capitol Safety Plan,\" saying it would review DC reservations and ban individuals involved in criminal activity at the Capitol. But that didn't quiet critics. DC residents continued to call on Airbnb to halt reservations. Government officials like DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan called for people to not attend the inauguration in person.Chesky announced a revised plan Jan. 13, canceling all short-term reservations in the greater Washington, DC area, not only refunding guests' payments, but reimbursing lost reservation income to hosts, too. Long-term reservations that extended outside Jan. 15-21 were unaffected.The move was a much different response than competing hotels and online travel sites like VRBO, which have generally remained open.Peter Kern, CEO of VRBO's parent company Expedia told CNN Business Jan. 18 that there were \"a lot of completely legitimate and appropriate uses of the properties.\" A day later, though, Expedia announced that new reservations would be blocked in Washington, DC, following updated guidance from government officials.In a blog post in which it announced its decision Airbnb warned of \"armed militias and known hate groups that are attempting to travel and disrupt the Inauguration\" in its blog post.Airbnb seems to have navigated the situation without any major issues. But doing so wasn't a given.It was unclear before the inauguration how effective Airbnb's reservation review process was, and if it led to meaningful cancellations, or any at all. Airbnb declined to say how many cancellations were made before the inauguration. Its competitor, VRBO, also declined to say if its own reviews had led to cancellations.Airbnb's policy did not appear to be comprehensive in addressing potential for violence in state capitals. While Airbnb had publicly said it reviewed reservations in select state capitals, such as Lansing, Sacramento, Olympia and Carson City, it declined to say before the inauguration if it had done so in every state capital.Airbnb looks aheadAirbnb has set a precedent on how it will deal with risk of violence at major events like presidential inaugurations, whether it's from the far-right as was the case this month, or other groups. While similar events will hopefully be rare, some in the travel industry are taking notice and seeking more collaboration to improve safety.Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president, public affairs and policy at U.S. Travel Association, which represents travel industry companies like Airbnb and Expedia Group, believes that there could be more coordination and information sharing in the future to benefit the industry. Hotels and rental car companies could receive the same access to security threats as airlines do.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":337,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3570617809207113","authorId":"3570617809207113","name":"Donn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba1b57c564d3f11854c26a2bf9847d97","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3570617809207113","authorIdStr":"3570617809207113"},"content":"Too high now :(","text":"Too high now :(","html":"Too high now :("}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320762492,"gmtCreate":1615178846916,"gmtModify":1704779168576,"author":{"id":"3574854067593629","authorId":"3574854067593629","name":"Etty12345","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1682efb76d934264019c81d9fec0f72","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574854067593629","authorIdStr":"3574854067593629"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting for this","listText":"Waiting for this","text":"Waiting for this","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/320762492","repostId":"2117651365","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2117651365","pubTimestamp":1615125354,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2117651365?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-07 21:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Roblox goes public, inflation data: What to know in the week ahead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2117651365","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"This week, investors will be eyeing new inflation data, which will offer a look at whether prices ha","content":"<p>This week, investors will be eyeing new inflation data, which will offer a look at whether prices have already begun to creep up as some have feared ahead of a major economic reopening.

REUTERS/Leah Millis TPX IMAGES OF THE DAYLeah Millis / Reuters</p><p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has reiterated repeatedly that he believes any impending rise in inflation this year will be \"transitory,\" resulting as the year-over-year data laps 2020's highly depressed inflationary prints. For years preceding the pandemic, inflation had held well below the Fed's 2% target, as measured by core personal consumption expenditures (PCE). The Fed has signaled the economy remains \"well below\" its targets, suggesting it would not change its policy stance or work to stave off the first signs of rising inflation.</p><p>But investors' fears that the Fed may be under appreciating a possible surge in inflation has begun to mount in recent weeks. Those concerns have only grown in amplitude as Congress passes additional stimulus to consumers, and as the Federal Reserve keeps its foot on the gas pedal with ultra-accommodative monetary policy comprising near-zero interest rates and a massive asset purchase program. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield surged to a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-year high of about 1.6%, jumping by more than 50 basis points from levels a month earlier, as investors priced in the possibility that the Fed may need to tighten policy sooner than it has telegraphed as of late.</p><p>\"It is the inflation profile once reopening begins in earnest that should be of most interest,\" RBC Capital Markets economists wrote in a note Friday. \"The reality is that we are likely still a few months away from a significant supply/demand imbalance that is likely to take prices much higher.\"</p><p>\"Our baseline is for inflation to easily print with a 3-handle in 2Q and for the balance of 2021 thereafter,\" he added.</p><p><b>Roblox hits the public markets</b></p><p>Meanwhile, the video game company Roblox is set to make its public debut this week, in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the latest high-profile, public facing companies to hit the public markets.</p><p>Roblox's direct listing is set to take place on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday under the ticker symbol \"RBLX.\" The move comes after the company delayed its public offering late last year amid a wave of exuberance in markets following Airbnb's (ABNB) and DoorDash's (DASH) IPOs.</p><p>By going public via a direct listing, Roblox will have existing stakeholders sell shares directly to public investors, rather than issuing new shares and conducting a fresh capital raise in the process as is the case in a traditional initial public offering. Companies including Spotify (SPOT) and Slack (WORK) also went public in recent years via direct listings, eschewing the typical IPO.</p><p>Roblox was last valued in the private market at $4 billion, following a $150 million funding round led by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz in February last year.</p><p>Roblox daily active users have accelerated over the past couple years, and especially so during the pandemic with so many people stuck indoors and seeking out entertainment. Daily active users on Roblox grew by 85% to 32.6 million in 2020, accelerating from a 47% growth rate in 2019. Users' hours engaged also more than doubled to 30.6 billion last year.</p><p>That user growth has translated to major revenue growth for the 17-year-old company, which increased by 82% to about $924 million last year. Net losses have also widened, however, increasing from $71 million to about $253.3 million from 2019 to 2020.</p><p><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-01/2994b2e0-500d-11eb-bff0-d79b8e34795e\" tg-width=\"5472\" tg-height=\"3648\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Alice Wilkinson (7) adds a face mask to her character on the game 'Roblox' at her home in Manchester, as the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues, Manchester, Britain, April 5, 2020. REUTERS/Phil NoblePhil Noble / reuters</p><p>As a beneficiary of 2020's stay-in-place orders, Roblox has already acknowledged that it's meteoric growth rates will likely not be sustained going forward.</p><p>\"We have experienced rapid growth in the three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and for a portion of the three months ended March 31, 2020, due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic given our users have been online more as a result of global COVID-19 shelter-in-place policies,\" the company said in a February 22 filing. \"For example, our bookings increased 171% from the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not expect these activity levels to be sustained, and in future periods we expect growth rates for our revenue to decline, and we may not experience any growth in bookings or our user base during periods where we are comparing against COVID-19 impacted periods.\"</p><p>Roblox also recently issued guidance for the first and second quarters of this year, or for the three months ending in March and June, respectively. For the first quarter, daily active users may grow as much as 68% to 39.6 million, and revenue could grow as much as 85% to $335 million. For the second quarter, however, daily active user growth will likely grow as much as only 9% over last year, though revenue could still likely rise by as much as 86%, Roblox said.</p><p><b>Economic Calendar</b></p><ul><li><p><b>Monday: </b>Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, January final (1.3% expected, 1.3% in December)</p></li><li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>NFIB Small Business Optimism, February (96.3 expected, 95.0 in January)</p></li><li><p><b>Wednesday: </b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended March 5 (0.5% during prior week);

That would imply goods prices might decline but service prices might increase in coming months, as consumer demand shifts back to services requiring personal contact,\" Nomura chief economist Lewis Alexander wrote in a note Friday.\"We expect relative price changes between goods and services to exert modest inflationary pressure going forward,\" he added. \"However, the persistent softness of rent inflation should limit the degree of acceleration in core inflation for some time, with the exception of an expected jump in year-on-year changes due to base effects.\"Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell holds a press conference following a two day Federal Open Market Committee policy meeting in Washington, U.S., January 30, 2019. REUTERS/Leah Millis TPX IMAGES OF THE DAYLeah Millis / ReutersFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has reiterated repeatedly that he believes any impending rise in inflation this year will be \"transitory,\" resulting as the year-over-year data laps 2020's highly depressed inflationary prints. For years preceding the pandemic, inflation had held well below the Fed's 2% target, as measured by core personal consumption expenditures (PCE). The Fed has signaled the economy remains \"well below\" its targets, suggesting it would not change its policy stance or work to stave off the first signs of rising inflation.But investors' fears that the Fed may be under appreciating a possible surge in inflation has begun to mount in recent weeks. Those concerns have only grown in amplitude as Congress passes additional stimulus to consumers, and as the Federal Reserve keeps its foot on the gas pedal with ultra-accommodative monetary policy comprising near-zero interest rates and a massive asset purchase program. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield surged to a one-year high of about 1.6%, jumping by more than 50 basis points from levels a month earlier, as investors priced in the possibility that the Fed may need to tighten policy sooner than it has telegraphed as of late.\"It is the inflation profile once reopening begins in earnest that should be of most interest,\" RBC Capital Markets economists wrote in a note Friday. \"The reality is that we are likely still a few months away from a significant supply/demand imbalance that is likely to take prices much higher.\"\"Our baseline is for inflation to easily print with a 3-handle in 2Q and for the balance of 2021 thereafter,\" he added.Roblox hits the public marketsMeanwhile, the video game company Roblox is set to make its public debut this week, in one of the latest high-profile, public facing companies to hit the public markets.Roblox's direct listing is set to take place on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday under the ticker symbol \"RBLX.\" The move comes after the company delayed its public offering late last year amid a wave of exuberance in markets following Airbnb's (ABNB) and DoorDash's (DASH) IPOs.By going public via a direct listing, Roblox will have existing stakeholders sell shares directly to public investors, rather than issuing new shares and conducting a fresh capital raise in the process as is the case in a traditional initial public offering. Companies including Spotify (SPOT) and Slack (WORK) also went public in recent years via direct listings, eschewing the typical IPO.Roblox was last valued in the private market at $4 billion, following a $150 million funding round led by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz in February last year.Roblox daily active users have accelerated over the past couple years, and especially so during the pandemic with so many people stuck indoors and seeking out entertainment. Daily active users on Roblox grew by 85% to 32.6 million in 2020, accelerating from a 47% growth rate in 2019. Users' hours engaged also more than doubled to 30.6 billion last year.That user growth has translated to major revenue growth for the 17-year-old company, which increased by 82% to about $924 million last year. Net losses have also widened, however, increasing from $71 million to about $253.3 million from 2019 to 2020.Alice Wilkinson (7) adds a face mask to her character on the game 'Roblox' at her home in Manchester, as the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues, Manchester, Britain, April 5, 2020. REUTERS/Phil NoblePhil Noble / reutersAs a beneficiary of 2020's stay-in-place orders, Roblox has already acknowledged that it's meteoric growth rates will likely not be sustained going forward.\"We have experienced rapid growth in the three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, and for a portion of the three months ended March 31, 2020, due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic given our users have been online more as a result of global COVID-19 shelter-in-place policies,\" the company said in a February 22 filing. \"For example, our bookings increased 171% from the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not expect these activity levels to be sustained, and in future periods we expect growth rates for our revenue to decline, and we may not experience any growth in bookings or our user base during periods where we are comparing against COVID-19 impacted periods.\"Roblox also recently issued guidance for the first and second quarters of this year, or for the three months ending in March and June, respectively. For the first quarter, daily active users may grow as much as 68% to 39.6 million, and revenue could grow as much as 85% to $335 million. For the second quarter, however, daily active user growth will likely grow as much as only 9% over last year, though revenue could still likely rise by as much as 86%, Roblox said.Economic CalendarMonday: Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, January final (1.3% expected, 1.3% in December)Tuesday: NFIB Small Business Optimism, February (96.3 expected, 95.0 in January)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended March 5 (0.5% during prior week);

It comes amid the biggest move for silverfuturessince at least 2013.The sharp move higher builds off gains for silver and silver-related equities late last week. Silver mining stocksCoeur MiningandPan American Silverrose 16.9% and 14.7%, respectively, on Thursday and Friday. The iShares Silver Trust jumped 6.7% during those two sessions.The spike in demand for silver appears to be related to retail traders in the Reddit forum WallStreetBets, which has helped drive trading activity in heavily shorted stocks likeGameStopandAMC Entertainmentin recent weeks.The forum had multiple active threads dedicated to silver on Sunday night. The phrase ”#silversqueeze” was also trending on Twitter.The move in silver was touted by investors who are bullish on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which see the new digital assets in part as replacements for traditional metals.Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of cryptocurrency firm Gemini, said on twitter that, “The ramifications of a#silversqueezecannot be underestimated. If it’s exposed that there are more paper claims on silver than actual silver, not only would payoff be enormous, but gold would be next.#Bitcoinfixes this.”The dramatic spikes in GameStop and other heavily shorted stocks were due in part to a short squeeze, which is a phenomenon where investors who have bet against a stock are forced to buy shares to cover their positions as the name moves higher.Melvin Capital, one of the hedge funds who originally had short positions in GameStop,lost 53% in January.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":314123380,"gmtCreate":1612321595340,"gmtModify":1704869707314,"author":{"id":"3574854067593629","authorId":"3574854067593629","name":"Etty12345","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1682efb76d934264019c81d9fec0f72","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574854067593629","authorIdStr":"3574854067593629"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/314123380","repostId":"1183975527","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183975527","pubTimestamp":1612319838,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1183975527?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-03 10:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Investors Are Snapping Up a New Space Stock, Sending Shares Rocketing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183975527","media":"barrons","summary":"Investors are excitedabout space—and they are jumping ona dealthat will bring another fledgling spac","content":"<p>Investors are excitedabout space—and they are jumping ona dealthat will bring another fledgling space company to public markets.</p>\n<p>Tuesday, space-launch company Astra announced it is merging with special purpose acquisition companyHolicity(ticker: HOL).

Along with carrying astronautsfor NASAto the International Space Station, the company is launching itsStarlink satellitesto build a global, space-based Wi-Fi business.\nAstra’s rockets don’t appear to be reusable; it is lowering launch costs in other ways. “We’ve invested in machines and infrastructure to produce rockets at scale,” says Kemp ina video tourof the company’s manufacturing facility. Reaching orbit used to take tens of millions of dollars. New companies are lowering the bill to millions of dollars.\nFalling costs are opening outer space for business. For exactly what, however, is still a guess. “Were going to see new applications that no one has ever imagined that will help improve life on earth,” says Kemp. Among the possibilities that people are imagining are new communications technologies like the ones SpaceX is pursuing, detailed earth observation, early-warning systems for defense, and weather and GPS applications.\nAstra appears confident that new applications are coming. The company has ambitions to have daily orbital launches by 2025. Revenue is projected to reach $1.5 billion that year, and Astra projects almost $700 million in free cash flow.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316807062,"gmtCreate":1611925948256,"gmtModify":1704865931972,"author":{"id":"3574854067593629","authorId":"3574854067593629","name":"Etty12345","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1682efb76d934264019c81d9fec0f72","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574854067593629","authorIdStr":"3574854067593629"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oil and gas industry&nbsp;","listText":"Oil and gas industry&nbsp;","text":"Oil and gas industry","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/316807062","repostId":"2107292365","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2107292365","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1611887506,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2107292365?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-01-29 10:31","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Oil steady as supply cuts offset demand worries on stalled vaccine rollouts","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2107292365","media":"Reuters","summary":"MELBOURNE, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Oil prices were mixed on Friday as a pending supply cut by Saudi Arabi","content":"<p>MELBOURNE, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Oil prices were mixed on Friday as a pending supply cut by Saudi Arabia and lower U.S. oil stocks helped counter risks of slowing fuel demand due to stalled vaccine rollouts and contagious new coronavirus strains.</p><p>U.S. West Texas Intermediate <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WTI\">$(WTI)$</a> crude futures slipped 3 cents to $52.31 a barrel at 0151 GMT, after falling 1.0% on Thursday.</p><p>Brent crude futures for March rose 14 cents, or 0.3%, to $55.67 a barrel, after falling 0.5% in the previous session.</p><p>The Brent March contract expires on Friday.

Airbnb's reputation was on the line.</p><p>Get it right, and Chesky would look like a responsible corporate steward. (Both Chesky and Airbnb declined to comment for this story.)</p><p>Days after the Capitol insurrection, Airbnb released a \"Capitol Safety Plan,\" saying it would review DC reservations and ban individuals involved in criminal activity at the Capitol. But that didn't quiet critics. DC residents continued to call on Airbnb to halt reservations. Government officials like DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan called for people to not attend the inauguration in person.</p><p>Chesky announced a revised plan Jan. 13, canceling all short-term reservations in the greater Washington, DC area, not only refunding guests' payments, but reimbursing lost reservation income to hosts, too. Long-term reservations that extended outside Jan. 15-21 were unaffected.</p><p>The move was a much different response than competing hotels and online travel sites like VRBO, which have generally remained open.</p><p>Peter Kern, CEO of VRBO's parent company Expedia told CNN Business Jan. 18 that there were \"a lot of completely legitimate and appropriate uses of the properties.\" A day later, though, Expedia announced that new reservations would be blocked in Washington, DC, following updated guidance from government officials.</p><p>In a blog post in which it announced its decision Airbnb warned of \"armed militias and known hate groups that are attempting to travel and disrupt the Inauguration\" in its blog post.</p><p>Airbnb seems to have navigated the situation without any major issues.

Airbnb declined to say how many cancellations were made before the inauguration. Its competitor, VRBO, also declined to say if its own reviews had led to cancellations.</p><p>Airbnb's policy did not appear to be comprehensive in addressing potential for violence in state capitals. While Airbnb had publicly said it reviewed reservations in select state capitals, such as Lansing, Sacramento, Olympia and Carson City, it declined to say before the inauguration if it had done so in every state capital.</p><p><b>Airbnb looks ahead</b></p><p>Airbnb has set a precedent on how it will deal with risk of violence at major events like presidential inaugurations, whether it's from the far-right as was the case this month, or other groups. While similar events will hopefully be rare, some in the travel industry are taking notice and seeking more collaboration to improve safety.</p><p>Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president, public affairs and policy at U.S. Travel Association, which represents travel industry companies like Airbnb and Expedia Group, believes that there could be more coordination and information sharing in the future to benefit the industry. Hotels and rental car companies could receive the same access to security threats as airlines do.</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>Airbnb was ensnared in the Capitol Riot fallout.

Any move in either direction could have had a significant financial impact on Airbnb, as presidential inaugurations historically attract thousands of visitors who are willing to pay top dollar to stay in the nation's capital.Chesky had to navigate the question of whether his response to the insurrection would be well-received by Wall Street investors. Airbnb's reputation was on the line.Get it right, and Chesky would look like a responsible corporate steward. (Both Chesky and Airbnb declined to comment for this story.)Days after the Capitol insurrection, Airbnb released a \"Capitol Safety Plan,\" saying it would review DC reservations and ban individuals involved in criminal activity at the Capitol. But that didn't quiet critics. DC residents continued to call on Airbnb to halt reservations. Government officials like DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan called for people to not attend the inauguration in person.Chesky announced a revised plan Jan. 13, canceling all short-term reservations in the greater Washington, DC area, not only refunding guests' payments, but reimbursing lost reservation income to hosts, too. Long-term reservations that extended outside Jan. 15-21 were unaffected.The move was a much different response than competing hotels and online travel sites like VRBO, which have generally remained open.Peter Kern, CEO of VRBO's parent company Expedia told CNN Business Jan. 18 that there were \"a lot of completely legitimate and appropriate uses of the properties.\" A day later, though, Expedia announced that new reservations would be blocked in Washington, DC, following updated guidance from government officials.In a blog post in which it announced its decision Airbnb warned of \"armed militias and known hate groups that are attempting to travel and disrupt the Inauguration\" in its blog post.Airbnb seems to have navigated the situation without any major issues. But doing so wasn't a given.It was unclear before the inauguration how effective Airbnb's reservation review process was, and if it led to meaningful cancellations, or any at all. Airbnb declined to say how many cancellations were made before the inauguration. Its competitor, VRBO, also declined to say if its own reviews had led to cancellations.Airbnb's policy did not appear to be comprehensive in addressing potential for violence in state capitals. While Airbnb had publicly said it reviewed reservations in select state capitals, such as Lansing, Sacramento, Olympia and Carson City, it declined to say before the inauguration if it had done so in every state capital.Airbnb looks aheadAirbnb has set a precedent on how it will deal with risk of violence at major events like presidential inaugurations, whether it's from the far-right as was the case this month, or other groups. While similar events will hopefully be rare, some in the travel industry are taking notice and seeking more collaboration to improve safety.Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president, public affairs and policy at U.S. Travel Association, which represents travel industry companies like Airbnb and Expedia Group, believes that there could be more coordination and information sharing in the future to benefit the industry. Hotels and rental car companies could receive the same access to security threats as airlines do.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
