Steve Chen</span></p><p>Steve Chen spent his career as a middle-school math teacher until he retired from the job at the early age of 33 in February 2020.</p><p>He hadn&#39;t initially planned to leave that early. However, after landing his first $5,000 paycheck and seeing what he was left with after all the deductions were made, he realized he needed to find additional income streams.</p><p>One key takeaway he had after reading examples of others retiring early was that investing every month was a key factor in growing wealth. So he opened a brokerage account and began by simply investing in companies he was familiar with and broad-market exchange-traded funds such as Vanguard 500 (VOO), which tracks the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>As Chen became more familiar with investing by watching YouTube videos and reading blogs, he began to explore options trading, which took off for him in 2020.</p><p>By 2021, between his retirement and brokerage accounts, he had a net profit of $76,925.88 from options trading, according to records viewed by Insider. Chen estimates that about 5% came from dividends paid by the underlying stocks he had call options on, 10% from capital gains from selling the call options, and the remainder came from premiums.</p><p>He&#39;s now the founder of Call To Leap, a website that teaches financial education around saving and investing, including options trading, for a fee.</p><p>Throughout 2020 and 2021, Chen mainly focused on selling covered calls, an options trade where he purchased shares of a stock and then sold a contract that gave the rights to another trader to purchase those shares at a certain price by a certain date. In exchange, he received a premium for that contract. Most of the time, Chen&#39;s shares weren&#39;t purchased away. This strategy not only allowed him to own stocks that appreciated over time, but also collect a fee on the call option.</p><p>He was also purchasing LEAPS, longer-term options contracts of one year or more that gave him the right to purchase shares away from another trader.</p><p>Covered calls were more profitable when the stock market was trending either neutral or bullish because the value of the underlying stock was increasing. Chen could put his shares to work by collecting premiums and if sold, also collecting capital gains.</p><p>LEAPS were highly profitable for him during the bull market that engulfed most of 2020 and 2021 because they enabled him to hold the rights to purchase shares at a designated price in the future. Since share prices were rising rapidly and faster than the contract decayed, he often didn&#39;t buy the shares but resold that contract at a higher value for a profit.</p><p>This year, stock investors haven&#39;t been as bullish. Year-to-date, the S&amp;P 500 has tumbled by about 19% and the Dow by about 14%.</p><p>Chen told Insider he noticed the downtrend on January 18, after the support line in the S&amp;P 500&#39;s technical chart broke, indicating a reversal pattern to a downward trend. He was also aware that the Federal Reserve was planning on raising interest rates to combat rising inflation. This meant that the downward trend could be strung out.</p><p>These two factors led him to pivot his options strategy to set up what&#39;s known as bear call spreads. This is an advanced options trade that is more ideal in a bear market because it allows a trader to profit from a falling stock price and the time decay of the contract without the risk of incurring unrealized losses due to the falling price of the underlying stock. This is because Chen doesn&#39;t need to actually buy the shares he&#39;s placing under contract.</p><p>Chen says the strategy isn&#39;t for everybody. This approach is for traders who have already been options trading in bullish and neutral markets and want to pivot to doing it in a bear market. Additionally, users often won&#39;t have access to this option in their brokerage account if they haven&#39;t been trading more basic options.</p><p><b>Setting up bear call spreads</b></p><p>Setting up a bear call spread requires two main steps.</p><p>First, Chen needs to buy an out-of-the-money call option, which will act as a proxy for the shares he plans to sell under contract. He needs to do this because brokerages often won&#39;t allow traders to sell a call option contract unless they can cover themselves. Since Chen doesn&#39;t want to buy the actual shares, he purchases a covered call for the same number of shares he plans on selling. The strike price, which is the price he agrees to pay, is out-of-the-money because it&#39;s above the stock price.</p><p>In reality, he has no intention of executing this contract because it has a high strike price. Yet he chooses it because it has a lower premium.</p><p>Once he&#39;s covered, he sells a different out-of-the-money call option that matches the number of shares and expiry date from the call option he purchased. This time, he sets a strike price that would earn him a premium higher than the purchased contract.</p><p>In the event that the trader who purchased Chen&#39;s call option decides to exercise the contract and take possession of the shares, Chen would need to purchase those shares to deliver on the contract. To avoid being in a position where he overpays for the stock, he sets up a third step, which is a buy stop order slightly below the strike price of the call option he sold. Traders who don&#39;t take this third step would have to purchase the shares at market value and risk incurring a realized loss.</p><p>&#34;My intention is to not let the stock [price] surpass my sold call option contract strike [price],&#34; Chen said.</p><p>One example of him setting up a bear call spread was on June 26, when he bought four call options for AMD with a strike price of $150 that expired on July 15. At the time, AMD was trading at around $87. The contracts cost him $82.64. Once he established his proxy, he sold four call options of AMD at a strike price of $125. The premium he earned on that contract was $525.34.</p><p>He then set up a buy stop order at a share price of $124. This way, if his shares were called away, he&#39;d sell them with a capital gain of $1 on each share for a total of $400. However, in this instance, Chen kept his shares. Therefore, after deducting the cost of the call order he purchased, his total profit from the premium was $442.70, according to records viewed by Insider. In the event his buy order was executed appropriately and his shares were also sold, he could have had a total profit of $842.70.</p><p>Chen will also reduce his risk by purchasing his call option back when the contract loses 50% to 80% of its value. This allows him to pay less than what he initially sold the call option for and close the contract. In turn, reducing the number of days he&#39;s at risk. He sets expiration dates that range from 30 to 45 days out.</p><p>Chen teaches his students to pick expiration dates two to five weeks out because that&#39;s when the theta decay, which is the rate of decline in the value of the contract over time, is fastest, while the premium collected is optimal. The goal is to get both options to expire worthless as fast as possible during a downward trend.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>One of the main risks Chen considers when setting up the options trade is the possibility of a buy stop order not executing. This could happen if the stock&#39;s price moves up too quickly. To avoid this, he will set up a buy stop market order rather than a buy stop limit order. The former will purchase the shares once it surpasses the set price even if it&#39;s slightly above. On the other end, the latter will only execute a buy order at exactly the set price.</p><p>While his risk is reduced, he may end up paying slightly over the price he intended. So far this incident has only happened to him once when Nike&#39;s (NKE) stock price shot up in September of 2020. Chen told Insider that by the time the buy order was executed, it was above his contract&#39;s strike price. Therefore, he purchased the shares at a higher price than what he sold them for.</p><p>The second risk happens when a buy order executes while the stock&#39;s price is rising but then the price drops before the trader decides to purchase his shares away. This could leave Chen with an unrealized loss.</p><p>For example, in 2020, Chen recalls setting up a bear call spread on AMD. The buy stop ordered was triggered but the shares were not purchased away from him. He was left with AMD shares that didn&#39;t move up in value. To mitigate his losses, he converted the trade into a covered call and kept collecting premiums on it until the shares were called away, sending him into a net positive.</p><p><b>3 criteria for picking the underlying stocks</b></p><p>In the event Chen ends up with an executed buy stop order but the shares aren&#39;t sold, he wants to ensure he&#39;s still holding stocks that have a higher probability of appreciating in the long term. Therefore, he sticks to what he believes are quality stocks.</p><ol><li>He picks stocks that are in the S&amp;P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average because there is more institutional involvement and they have a higher probability of increasing in the long term.</li><li>He picks companies with strong fundamentals, which include consistent revenue growth and selling high-demand products or services.</li><li>The company&#39;s historical stock chart has a strong upward trend, especially over the past five years.</li></ol></body></html>","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>How to Trade Options in a Bear Market: Retired Math Teacher</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\">\nHow to Trade Options in a Bear Market: Retired Math Teacher\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-19 15:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-trade-options-in-bear-market-stocks-strategy-risks-2022-7><strong>Business Insider</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Steve Chen was options trading covered calls and LEAPS options in neutral and bullish markets.This year, he pivoted to bear call spreads because the market became bullish.It allows him to earn ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-trade-options-in-bear-market-stocks-strategy-risks-2022-7\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite"},"source_url":"https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-trade-options-in-bear-market-stocks-strategy-risks-2022-7","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1185506686","content_text":"Steve Chen was options trading covered calls and LEAPS options in neutral and bullish markets.This year, he pivoted to bear call spreads because the market became bullish.It allows him to earn premiums and some capital gains without buying the underlying stocks.Steve Chen became financially free at the age of 33.

Additionally, users often won't have access to this option in their brokerage account if they haven't been trading more basic options.Setting up bear call spreadsSetting up a bear call spread requires two main steps.First, Chen needs to buy an out-of-the-money call option, which will act as a proxy for the shares he plans to sell under contract. He needs to do this because brokerages often won't allow traders to sell a call option contract unless they can cover themselves. Since Chen doesn't want to buy the actual shares, he purchases a covered call for the same number of shares he plans on selling. The strike price, which is the price he agrees to pay, is out-of-the-money because it's above the stock price.In reality, he has no intention of executing this contract because it has a high strike price. Yet he chooses it because it has a lower premium.Once he's covered, he sells a different out-of-the-money call option that matches the number of shares and expiry date from the call option he purchased. This time, he sets a strike price that would earn him a premium higher than the purchased contract.In the event that the trader who purchased Chen's call option decides to exercise the contract and take possession of the shares, Chen would need to purchase those shares to deliver on the contract. To avoid being in a position where he overpays for the stock, he sets up a third step, which is a buy stop order slightly below the strike price of the call option he sold. Traders who don't take this third step would have to purchase the shares at market value and risk incurring a realized loss.\"My intention is to not let the stock [price] surpass my sold call option contract strike [price],\" Chen said.One example of him setting up a bear call spread was on June 26, when he bought four call options for AMD with a strike price of $150 that expired on July 15. At the time, AMD was trading at around $87. The contracts cost him $82.64. Once he established his proxy, he sold four call options of AMD at a strike price of $125. The premium he earned on that contract was $525.34.He then set up a buy stop order at a share price of $124. This way, if his shares were called away, he'd sell them with a capital gain of $1 on each share for a total of $400. However, in this instance, Chen kept his shares. Therefore, after deducting the cost of the call order he purchased, his total profit from the premium was $442.70, according to records viewed by Insider. In the event his buy order was executed appropriately and his shares were also sold, he could have had a total profit of $842.70.Chen will also reduce his risk by purchasing his call option back when the contract loses 50% to 80% of its value. This allows him to pay less than what he initially sold the call option for and close the contract. In turn, reducing the number of days he's at risk. He sets expiration dates that range from 30 to 45 days out.Chen teaches his students to pick expiration dates two to five weeks out because that's when the theta decay, which is the rate of decline in the value of the contract over time, is fastest, while the premium collected is optimal. The goal is to get both options to expire worthless as fast as possible during a downward trend.RisksOne of the main risks Chen considers when setting up the options trade is the possibility of a buy stop order not executing. This could happen if the stock's price moves up too quickly. To avoid this, he will set up a buy stop market order rather than a buy stop limit order. The former will purchase the shares once it surpasses the set price even if it's slightly above. On the other end, the latter will only execute a buy order at exactly the set price.While his risk is reduced, he may end up paying slightly over the price he intended. So far this incident has only happened to him once when Nike's (NKE) stock price shot up in September of 2020. Chen told Insider that by the time the buy order was executed, it was above his contract's strike price. Therefore, he purchased the shares at a higher price than what he sold them for.The second risk happens when a buy order executes while the stock's price is rising but then the price drops before the trader decides to purchase his shares away. This could leave Chen with an unrealized loss.For example, in 2020, Chen recalls setting up a bear call spread on AMD. The buy stop ordered was triggered but the shares were not purchased away from him. He was left with AMD shares that didn't move up in value. To mitigate his losses, he converted the trade into a covered call and kept collecting premiums on it until the shares were called away, sending him into a net positive.3 criteria for picking the underlying stocksIn the event Chen ends up with an executed buy stop order but the shares aren't sold, he wants to ensure he's still holding stocks that have a higher probability of appreciating in the long term. Therefore, he sticks to what he believes are quality stocks.He picks stocks that are in the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average because there is more institutional involvement and they have a higher probability of increasing in the long term.He picks companies with strong fundamentals, which include consistent revenue growth and selling high-demand products or services.The company's historical stock chart has a strong upward trend, especially over the past five years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9075503643,"gmtCreate":1658216255982,"gmtModify":1676536123528,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"AMD has its focus on both fronts and are developing well to serve different segments of the market","listText":"AMD has its focus on both fronts and are developing well to serve different segments of the market","text":"AMD has its focus on both fronts and are developing well to serve different segments of the market","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9075503643","repostId":"1160692983","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1160692983","pubTimestamp":1658214203,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1160692983?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-19 15:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD: Ready To Take On Intel And Consolidate Its Leading Position In The Semiconductor Sector","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160692983","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryThe global semiconductor industry is poised to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion by 203","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The global semiconductor industry is poised to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion by 2030.</li><li>Despite chip shortage and increasing competition, AMD remains in a strong position to consolidate its leading position and gain new market share.</li><li>AMD recent acquisitions will help the company diversify and generate new revenue streams while investing more heavily in R&amp;D.</li><li>We give AMD a BUY recommendation.</li></ul><p><b>Executive Summary</b></p><p>With the global semiconductor industry poised to grow strongly over the next decade and reach a global value of 1 trillion by 2030 (according to McKinsey &amp; Co.), we believe the sector currently offers great investment opportunities to generate above-average returns.</p><p>After analysing this market for the past 3 weeks, we identify Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) as one of the best companies in the industry that we believe has the potential to grow faster than its peers while capitalising on the industry-wide growth trend.</p><p>Precisely, we believe that AMD’s recent acquisitions of Pensando for data centre optimisation and high-performance &amp; adaptive computing company Xilinxwill fuel new growth for the business in the near future while we anticipate AMD to continue gaining market share in the industry as Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) faces tech capabilities challenges. In fact, we consider AMD’s leadership team and unmatched product offering diversification great competitive advantages that will allow the company to succeed over its peers. As such, we give AMD a Buy recommendation.</p><p><b>Quick Overview Of The Business</b></p><p>AMD is an American semiconductor company founded in 1969 that operates 2 main business segments: (i) the Computing &amp; Graphics unit that focuses on desktop and notebook CPUs, microprocessors and chipsets, discrete and integrated GPUs as well as data centres and (ii) the Enterprise, Embedded &amp; Semi-Custom unit that focuses on server and embedded processors, semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, development services and technology for game consoles.</p><p>Of all these product lines, EPYC, Ryzen and Radeon emerge as AMD’s leading product labels renowned in the industry as the company’s best solutions for server &amp; embedded processors, notebooks &amp; desktop PCs and Graphics. AMD also operates cross-licensing and technology exchange agreements with other companies to transfer and receive technology and intellectual property rights from other players in the market.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd960e6db168ab40d045fd08faa32367\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p><b>AMD&#39;s Strategic Acquisitions Will Drive New Revenues And Accelerate Technology Advancements</b></p><p>Why are we bullish on AMD? One of the main reasons is because we believe that AMD’s recent acquisitions will compound revenues in the years to come as both Pensando and Xilinx provide a strategic positioning in the market by AMD that will allow the company to unlock new revenue streams respectively around data centres and high-performance &amp; adaptive computing solution; both segments represent for AMD very solid growth opportunities to capitalise on according to AMD CEO Lisa Su:</p><blockquote>The data centre remains one of the largest growth opportunities for AMD. The addition of the Pensando Systems team with their hardware and software portfolio will enable us to offer cloud, enterprise and edge customers a broader portfolio of leadership compute engines that can be optimized for their specific workloads.</blockquote><p>Indeed, the addition of the Pensando Systems team strengthens AMD&#39;s position in the data centre sector and will allow the company to offer its customers a larger variety of state-of-the-art compute engines optimisable for specific workloads, hence attracting more customers and driving higher retention with the potential to tap into an enormous TAM (total addressable market potent) as seen in the image below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c36e28e7af24114ede920df6c02126\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: AMD</p><p>At the same time, the completed acquisition of Xilinx adds multiple high-margin, long-term revenue streams for AMD spanning a new set of markets to capitalise on, especially around high-performance &amp; adaptive computing solutions. The acquisition of Xilinx in fact, allows AMD to take on Intel on the FPGA front after Intelpurchased FPGA companies Alterain 2015 andOmnitekin 2019.</p><p>Despite Xilinx being relatively smaller in business size, what’s advantageous to AMD is Xilinx’s strong R&amp;D focus with 28% of revenue directed to R&amp;D in the last quarter alone (in comparison, AMD spent 17% of its revenue on R&amp;D). We believe that thanks to Xilinx, AMD will be able to double down sharply on its efforts to design advanced semiconductors for consumer electronics and cloud computing, hence consolidating its leading positions in these markets. Furthermore, Xilinx&#39;s higher profit margins will elevate AMD&#39;s post-merger and the acquisition is expected to generate an additional $300 million in cost-saving per year once the acquisition is complete.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0dd787888a96852fd86c9a3d6f26b865\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: AMD</p><p><b>With Intel Losing Ground, AMD Has More Room To Grow And Gain New Market Share</b></p><p>Another reason why we anticipate AMD to outperform peers in the coming years is due to Intel&#39;s performance. We have reason to believe that Intel’s recent weakening performances and technical challenges in keeping up with the development of next-generation microprocessors, in fact, will open up opportunities for AMD to gain new market share in the CPU sector, hence enabling the company to multiply revenues and accelerate growth in the space.</p><p>As of today, in fact, Intel is falling behind and losing ground to competitors when it comes to CPU technology capabilities as the company is yet to launch the Intel 4 (Intel’s own 7nm CPU) and has announced further delays in the production. The Intel 4 will be Intel’s next-generation processor that was initially planned to debut on the market in 2021, but after delaying the launch to 2022 due to a slow ramp to production, the company has recently announced further delays and is now estimating an official debut only in 2023. Meanwhile, AMD developed and launched its 7nm CPU back in 2020 and is launching later this year the Ryzen 7000, a first-generation 5nm CPU for computers that coronates AMD as the first company to launch on the market desktop processors running 5-nanometer cores. We believe this is a major milestone for AMD that will consolidate its leading position in the market, strengthen its brand and win new customers over the competition.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72e66267a507d2bf7f5231591b39f1f1\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"785\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: TechPowerUp</p><p><b>Following The Recent Market Crash, AMD Stock Has Now Reached An Attractive Entry Price Point</b></p><p>This is a recurring theme for a few stocks we’ve been monitoring in the last few months ... following the recent market crash, in fact, we believe that the current market scenario presents a great opportunity to enter a position in AMD at an advantageous discounted entry-price point that makes the investment very attractive compared to a few months back.</p><p>As of today, AMD is trading at $79.35, a whopping -52% compared to the peak of $164.25 the stock reached in November 2021. For us, this is a nice entry-price point for AMD as it allows us to hedge some of the risks and presents an adjusted P/S ratio of only 5.35 vs. 14.25 reached in September 2020.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/701c889d79b29a22fa11c986419d2732\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p><b>How Does The Chip Shortage In The Market Affect AMD?</b></p><p>We believe AMD is in a favourable position to be able to capitalise on the global positive trend in the semiconductor industry. Yet, this will happen only if the company will be able to mitigate some of the risks and beat the competition in specific market segments.</p><p>The first risk we identify relates to the global shortage of chips in the market; this is something that has been going on for quite some time now. The chip shortage originally sparked due to the sudden, exponential increase in demand during Covid-19 for work-from-home technology and increasing chip demand by car manufacturer companies requiring more chips on the new electric and automated vehicle models to enhance security during drives. This was coupled with a slow-down in manufacturing capacity, especially in South Asia where many activities of chip packaging and testing are carried out; a few months ago, new health measures were put in place in countries like Malaysia due to the Delta variant of the virus, hence further halting the supply chain.</p><p>Yet, with chip suppliers ramping up capital expenditure to open new production plants to cope with demand, we’re starting to see the situation getting back under control with AMD’s CEO Lisa Su anticipating the chip shortage to end towards the end of 2022. Therefore, unless sudden changes, we anticipate the current chip shortage not to represent an imminent threat to AMD’s ambitious growth plans.</p><p><b>Despite Increasing Competition, AMD Is Hedging Well Against Potential Threats</b></p><p>A second major risk we identify in our analysis is linked to competition. In fact, although we mentioned Intel’s weakening performance, we’re cautious about the possibility of new players gaining market share against AMD as they ramp up technology capabilities and manufacturing. Between these we identify Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM) as one of the main competitors given its leading position in the market and strong manufacturing facilities that allow the company to benefit from overall demand growth for chips, hence making TSMC one of the more diversified semiconductor player.</p><p>In addition to TSMC, we also identify Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) as strong competitors that may affect AMD’s future performance as these players sell comprehensive products that enter in direct competition with some of AMD’s product lines, especially around CPUs and Gaming Graphics microprocessors; both companies could in fact potentially steal customers from AMD if they were to develop substantially better processors.</p><p>Finally, we must also acknowledge the fact that the same Intel could be able to do a strong come back and leverage its long-lasting and well-known brand to re-gain some of the market share lost in the past few years.</p><p>All in all, we believe that AMD is putting in place calculated and strategic moves to hedge all the risks we’ve just mentioned to succeed in its growth intent. By 2023 in fact,the company will open its new facilities in Malaysia to reduce its dependency on suppliers and is also developing new product lines to launch on the market in the coming years that substantially offer better performances at more modest prices than the competition (for instance, AMD just announced last month its new GUP card, the Radeon RX 6950XT that it claims offers up to 80% better performance per dollar compared to GeForce RTX 3090 developed by Nvidia).</p><p><b>Our Recommendation On AMD Is BUY As We Anticipate The Stock To Grow +166.48% In 5yrs Time</b></p><p>Based on our analysis and our assessment of the company&#39;s financials, we give AMD a rating of BUY. We think AMD is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on Intel’s weakening performance and leverage the industry-wide uptrend in the semiconductor market to drive considerable growth over the next few years (see chart below from Statista as a reference for the market growth the semiconductor sector is expected to experience in the coming years).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00ed21df24ff0e18556024a95b872b7f\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"743\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>source: Statista</p><p>Precisely we expect the stock to grow 166.48% in 5 yrs reaching a price target of $212.97 in 2027 vs. $79.92 current stock price (at the time of writing). We arrive at this conclusion by analysing first of all the company&#39;s balance sheet to determine AMD&#39;s financial solidity and then focusing on the company&#39;s income statements for the last 3 years to give ourselves a relevant overview of the current growth rates of the business. Below is a summary of the main data points we use in our calculations to arrive at our 5 years target price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a257c12dfa2cc8648cc369903cf68a31\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"214\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculations</p><p>Our analysis highlights that AMD’s EPS have been increasing strongly at a CAGR of 120.39%in the past 3 years, but to evaluate the business correctly we cannot simply take this number as we must account for Covid-19&#39;s positive impact on the entire microprocessor industry. During the pandemic, in fact, demand for work-from-home technology surged hence driving higher-than-expected revenues for AMD. As such, we anticipate AMD&#39;s future EPS to continue growing but at a lower CAGR of only 24.10% (see image below).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca18f7f9a9ea5500751a50c8818d1460\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"1024\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculations</p><p>How do we arrive at this projection?

(NASDAQ:AMD) as one of the best companies in the industry that we believe has the potential to grow faster than its peers while capitalising on the industry-wide growth trend.Precisely, we believe that AMD’s recent acquisitions of Pensando for data centre optimisation and high-performance & adaptive computing company Xilinxwill fuel new growth for the business in the near future while we anticipate AMD to continue gaining market share in the industry as Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) faces tech capabilities challenges. In fact, we consider AMD’s leadership team and unmatched product offering diversification great competitive advantages that will allow the company to succeed over its peers. As such, we give AMD a Buy recommendation.Quick Overview Of The BusinessAMD is an American semiconductor company founded in 1969 that operates 2 main business segments: (i) the Computing & Graphics unit that focuses on desktop and notebook CPUs, microprocessors and chipsets, discrete and integrated GPUs as well as data centres and (ii) the Enterprise, Embedded & Semi-Custom unit that focuses on server and embedded processors, semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, development services and technology for game consoles.Of all these product lines, EPYC, Ryzen and Radeon emerge as AMD’s leading product labels renowned in the industry as the company’s best solutions for server & embedded processors, notebooks & desktop PCs and Graphics. AMD also operates cross-licensing and technology exchange agreements with other companies to transfer and receive technology and intellectual property rights from other players in the market.Data by YChartsAMD's Strategic Acquisitions Will Drive New Revenues And Accelerate Technology AdvancementsWhy are we bullish on AMD? One of the main reasons is because we believe that AMD’s recent acquisitions will compound revenues in the years to come as both Pensando and Xilinx provide a strategic positioning in the market by AMD that will allow the company to unlock new revenue streams respectively around data centres and high-performance & adaptive computing solution; both segments represent for AMD very solid growth opportunities to capitalise on according to AMD CEO Lisa Su:The data centre remains one of the largest growth opportunities for AMD. The addition of the Pensando Systems team with their hardware and software portfolio will enable us to offer cloud, enterprise and edge customers a broader portfolio of leadership compute engines that can be optimized for their specific workloads.Indeed, the addition of the Pensando Systems team strengthens AMD's position in the data centre sector and will allow the company to offer its customers a larger variety of state-of-the-art compute engines optimisable for specific workloads, hence attracting more customers and driving higher retention with the potential to tap into an enormous TAM (total addressable market potent) as seen in the image below.Source: AMDAt the same time, the completed acquisition of Xilinx adds multiple high-margin, long-term revenue streams for AMD spanning a new set of markets to capitalise on, especially around high-performance & adaptive computing solutions. The acquisition of Xilinx in fact, allows AMD to take on Intel on the FPGA front after Intelpurchased FPGA companies Alterain 2015 andOmnitekin 2019.Despite Xilinx being relatively smaller in business size, what’s advantageous to AMD is Xilinx’s strong R&D focus with 28% of revenue directed to R&D in the last quarter alone (in comparison, AMD spent 17% of its revenue on R&D). We believe that thanks to Xilinx, AMD will be able to double down sharply on its efforts to design advanced semiconductors for consumer electronics and cloud computing, hence consolidating its leading positions in these markets. Furthermore, Xilinx's higher profit margins will elevate AMD's post-merger and the acquisition is expected to generate an additional $300 million in cost-saving per year once the acquisition is complete.Source: AMDWith Intel Losing Ground, AMD Has More Room To Grow And Gain New Market ShareAnother reason why we anticipate AMD to outperform peers in the coming years is due to Intel's performance. We have reason to believe that Intel’s recent weakening performances and technical challenges in keeping up with the development of next-generation microprocessors, in fact, will open up opportunities for AMD to gain new market share in the CPU sector, hence enabling the company to multiply revenues and accelerate growth in the space.As of today, in fact, Intel is falling behind and losing ground to competitors when it comes to CPU technology capabilities as the company is yet to launch the Intel 4 (Intel’s own 7nm CPU) and has announced further delays in the production. The Intel 4 will be Intel’s next-generation processor that was initially planned to debut on the market in 2021, but after delaying the launch to 2022 due to a slow ramp to production, the company has recently announced further delays and is now estimating an official debut only in 2023. Meanwhile, AMD developed and launched its 7nm CPU back in 2020 and is launching later this year the Ryzen 7000, a first-generation 5nm CPU for computers that coronates AMD as the first company to launch on the market desktop processors running 5-nanometer cores. We believe this is a major milestone for AMD that will consolidate its leading position in the market, strengthen its brand and win new customers over the competition.Source: TechPowerUpFollowing The Recent Market Crash, AMD Stock Has Now Reached An Attractive Entry Price PointThis is a recurring theme for a few stocks we’ve been monitoring in the last few months ... following the recent market crash, in fact, we believe that the current market scenario presents a great opportunity to enter a position in AMD at an advantageous discounted entry-price point that makes the investment very attractive compared to a few months back.As of today, AMD is trading at $79.35, a whopping -52% compared to the peak of $164.25 the stock reached in November 2021. For us, this is a nice entry-price point for AMD as it allows us to hedge some of the risks and presents an adjusted P/S ratio of only 5.35 vs. 14.25 reached in September 2020.Data by YChartsHow Does The Chip Shortage In The Market Affect AMD?We believe AMD is in a favourable position to be able to capitalise on the global positive trend in the semiconductor industry. Yet, this will happen only if the company will be able to mitigate some of the risks and beat the competition in specific market segments.The first risk we identify relates to the global shortage of chips in the market; this is something that has been going on for quite some time now. The chip shortage originally sparked due to the sudden, exponential increase in demand during Covid-19 for work-from-home technology and increasing chip demand by car manufacturer companies requiring more chips on the new electric and automated vehicle models to enhance security during drives. This was coupled with a slow-down in manufacturing capacity, especially in South Asia where many activities of chip packaging and testing are carried out; a few months ago, new health measures were put in place in countries like Malaysia due to the Delta variant of the virus, hence further halting the supply chain.Yet, with chip suppliers ramping up capital expenditure to open new production plants to cope with demand, we’re starting to see the situation getting back under control with AMD’s CEO Lisa Su anticipating the chip shortage to end towards the end of 2022. Therefore, unless sudden changes, we anticipate the current chip shortage not to represent an imminent threat to AMD’s ambitious growth plans.Despite Increasing Competition, AMD Is Hedging Well Against Potential ThreatsA second major risk we identify in our analysis is linked to competition. In fact, although we mentioned Intel’s weakening performance, we’re cautious about the possibility of new players gaining market share against AMD as they ramp up technology capabilities and manufacturing. Between these we identify Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM) as one of the main competitors given its leading position in the market and strong manufacturing facilities that allow the company to benefit from overall demand growth for chips, hence making TSMC one of the more diversified semiconductor player.In addition to TSMC, we also identify Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) as strong competitors that may affect AMD’s future performance as these players sell comprehensive products that enter in direct competition with some of AMD’s product lines, especially around CPUs and Gaming Graphics microprocessors; both companies could in fact potentially steal customers from AMD if they were to develop substantially better processors.Finally, we must also acknowledge the fact that the same Intel could be able to do a strong come back and leverage its long-lasting and well-known brand to re-gain some of the market share lost in the past few years.All in all, we believe that AMD is putting in place calculated and strategic moves to hedge all the risks we’ve just mentioned to succeed in its growth intent. By 2023 in fact,the company will open its new facilities in Malaysia to reduce its dependency on suppliers and is also developing new product lines to launch on the market in the coming years that substantially offer better performances at more modest prices than the competition (for instance, AMD just announced last month its new GUP card, the Radeon RX 6950XT that it claims offers up to 80% better performance per dollar compared to GeForce RTX 3090 developed by Nvidia).Our Recommendation On AMD Is BUY As We Anticipate The Stock To Grow +166.48% In 5yrs TimeBased on our analysis and our assessment of the company's financials, we give AMD a rating of BUY. We think AMD is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on Intel’s weakening performance and leverage the industry-wide uptrend in the semiconductor market to drive considerable growth over the next few years (see chart below from Statista as a reference for the market growth the semiconductor sector is expected to experience in the coming years).source: StatistaPrecisely we expect the stock to grow 166.48% in 5 yrs reaching a price target of $212.97 in 2027 vs. $79.92 current stock price (at the time of writing). We arrive at this conclusion by analysing first of all the company's balance sheet to determine AMD's financial solidity and then focusing on the company's income statements for the last 3 years to give ourselves a relevant overview of the current growth rates of the business. Below is a summary of the main data points we use in our calculations to arrive at our 5 years target price.Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculationsOur analysis highlights that AMD’s EPS have been increasing strongly at a CAGR of 120.39%in the past 3 years, but to evaluate the business correctly we cannot simply take this number as we must account for Covid-19's positive impact on the entire microprocessor industry. During the pandemic, in fact, demand for work-from-home technology surged hence driving higher-than-expected revenues for AMD. As such, we anticipate AMD's future EPS to continue growing but at a lower CAGR of only 24.10% (see image below).Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculationsHow do we arrive at this projection? We get to this data point by calculating the average between the growth estimate we attribute to AMD based on our internal calculations (23.15%) with 4 other different analyst estimates we take from official sources online (Finviz estimate, MarketWatch estimate, MarketScreener estimate and Simply Wall Street estimate); below we share with you the template we use to gather all the estimates we use in our calculations to help you better understand how we source data and conduct our valuation.Image created by Finbuddy Investments with data from Marketwatch, Finviz, Market Screener, Simply Wall StreetEPS CAGR ESTIMATEit is the weighted average between our EPS estimate and 4 different official sources5YRS STOCK PRICEhere's the formula we use to get to this data:(Current EPS*((1+EPS CAGR estimate)^Time frame)*PE at the end)(2.68*((1+0.2410)^5)*27)GOOD ENTRY POINTentry price that would allow us to generate a 9.5% return on AMDPERFECT ENTRY POINTentry price that would allow us to generate a 9.5% return on AMD with a 20% safety marginSAFETY MARGINthe percentage we set as a hedge against potential market mispricing and inaccurate calculationsAMD's 5-Year Stock Price Target Based On 3 Different PE ScenariosIn order to avoid negative surprises, for every stock that we analyse we make sure to take into consideration 3 hypothetical scenarios to minimise risks and be aware of different possible outcomes. As such, below we calculate AMD's 5-year stock target price based on 3 different scenarios contemplating different PE ratios.For the moderate scenario, we decide to account for AMD’s overweight results in the last 3 years caused by the higher-than-expected demand for microprocessors (as mentioned above) by adopting an adjusted PE ratio of 27 to discount AMD’s earnings for the next 5yrs.Based on our personal experience, we believe that a PE ratio of 27 is reasonable in this context as it deducts from our calculations the sudden over-valuation of some specific sub-sectors of the semiconductor industry like the CPUs & GPUs during 2020/2021 due to the sudden demand increase because of the pandemic; the PE ratio we use in our analysis is in fact conservatively 73% lower compared to AMD average PE ratio of the last 3 years which amounts to 101.90 (AMD's PE reached a peak of 270 in January 2020) and it's rather in line with the 3 years' historical PE ratio of the entire e-commerce sector in the U.S., which is equal to 27.6 fromSimply Wall St.Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculationsOn top of that, we report below a scenario in which the PE is lower than expected wherein we anticipate the market to under-appreciate AMD and award the stock a PE ratio of only 22; if this was true, we would anticipate AMD stock to reach only a +114.44% performance over the next 5 years reaching a target price of $173.53 This could be caused by investors' sentiment decreasing as the stock market continues to go down and capital flows into safer assets like bonds.Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculationsFinally, we also report a positive scenario in which the market instead over-appreciates AMD with a PE ratio of 32. Contrarily, this could be caused by investors regaining positive sentiment in the market and investing more capital in the market, hence appreciating stock prices. If this was the case, we expect AMD's stock price to reach $252.41 in 5 yrs' time.Image created by Finbuddy Investments based on internal calculations","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":504,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9072194010,"gmtCreate":1657977827930,"gmtModify":1676536089882,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting moves in this bear&nbsp;","listText":"Interesting moves in this bear&nbsp;","text":"Interesting moves in this bear","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9072194010","repostId":"1144090895","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144090895","pubTimestamp":1657936858,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1144090895?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-16 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bearish ETF Strategies for a Pessimistic Outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144090895","media":"VettaFi","summary":"After a punishing first half of the year for the stock markets, traders continued to ramp up bets ag","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>After a punishing first half of the year for the stock markets, traders continued to ramp up bets against equities.

For the aggressive trader, the ProShares UltraShort QQQ ETF (QID) tracks the double inverse or -200% performance of the Nasdaq-100, and the ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF (SQQQ) reflects the triple inverse or -300% of the Nasdaq-100.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":274,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076495821,"gmtCreate":1657887205663,"gmtModify":1676536077197,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Glad to have gotten in before the release of the earnings report","listText":"Glad to have gotten in before the release of the earnings report","text":"Glad to have gotten in before the release of the earnings report","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076495821","repostId":"1123485307","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123485307","pubTimestamp":1657886707,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1123485307?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-15 20:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Citigroup GAAP EPS of $2.19 Beats By $0.52, Revenue of $19.64B Beats By $1.32B","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123485307","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Citigroup(NYSE:C): Q2 GAAP EPS of $2.19 beats by $0.52.Revenue of $19.64B (+12.4% Y/Y) beats by $1.3","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Citigroup(NYSE:C): Q2 GAAP EPS of $2.19 beats by $0.52.</li><li>Revenue of $19.64B (+12.4% Y/Y) beats by $1.32B.</li><li>Revenues increased 11% from the prior-year period, with growth in both net interest income as well as non-interest revenue.</li><li>Citigroup cost of credit of $1.3 billion in the second quarter 2022 compared to $(1.1) billion in the prior-year period, reflecting a net build in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) of $0.4 billion, compared to a net ACL release of $2.4 billion in the prior-year period, partially offset by lower net credit losses.</li></ul></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

When the market is in a sustained selling mood, there can be a substantial disconnect between the long-term fundamentals and the technical price action we see on the chart.</p><p><b>The Temptation to Bottom Fish</b></p><p>What can we do when good companies are trading at what appear to be bargain prices? We could &#34;stick our toe in the water&#34; and buy shares. But what if we&#39;re wrong about whether a bottom in the share price is in place? Or what if the stock takes a very long time to build a base and goes nowhere for an extended period?</p><p><b>Selling Puts</b></p><p>Rather than buying shares, we could sell put options instead. It&#39;s a strategy famously used by Warren Buffett to acquire shares at a discount.</p><p>First, a quick review ofput options. Someone who owns or is &#34;long&#34; a put has paid a premium to have the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares to the counterparty at the strike price. But that right exists only until the option expires.</p><p>The counterparty who has sold, or is &#34;short&#34; a put, has an obligation to buy shares at the strike price. That obligation is eliminated when the option expires, and the put seller gets to keep the premium collected whether they have shares &#34;put to them&#34; or not.</p><p>Although selling puts can be a way to acquire shares at a discount, traders (as opposed to investors) may just be interested in collecting the put premium as an income strategy.</p><p><b>Rules to Remember</b></p><p>We must like the stock at or around the strike price and believe it will recover over time. Even if we&#39;re just selling puts to collect premiums, keep in mind that we could end up owning shares.</p><p>Of course, there must be options available on the stock. The options should have good liquidity – decent volume, open interest, and bid/ask spreads that aren&#39;t too wide. The strike prices near the current share price should have hundreds, if not thousands, of open interest contracts. The bid/ask spreads on the options should be just a few pennies wide. It&#39;s usually a good sign of option liquidity if weekly, not just monthly, options are available.</p><p><b>What Makes a Good Candidate?</b></p><p>Look for companies with a long history of good earnings that have rebounded after many economic cycles. The company sells a product or service that will likely remain in demand for the foreseeable future. (No &#34;buggy whip&#34; manufacturers.)

So now our risk in the trade is reduced to $15 - $1.20 - $1.00 = $12.80.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>Put selling can be a savvy way to go &#34;bottom-fishing&#34; for good stocks, either to acquire shares at a discount or just collect option premiums. Selling puts gives us a way to get &#34;paid&#34; while we wait for the share price to recover.

When the market is in a sustained selling mood, there can be a substantial disconnect between the long-term fundamentals and the technical price action we see on the chart.The Temptation to Bottom FishWhat can we do when good companies are trading at what appear to be bargain prices? We could \"stick our toe in the water\" and buy shares. But what if we're wrong about whether a bottom in the share price is in place? Or what if the stock takes a very long time to build a base and goes nowhere for an extended period?Selling PutsRather than buying shares, we could sell put options instead. It's a strategy famously used by Warren Buffett to acquire shares at a discount.First, a quick review ofput options. Someone who owns or is \"long\" a put has paid a premium to have the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares to the counterparty at the strike price. But that right exists only until the option expires.The counterparty who has sold, or is \"short\" a put, has an obligation to buy shares at the strike price. That obligation is eliminated when the option expires, and the put seller gets to keep the premium collected whether they have shares \"put to them\" or not.Although selling puts can be a way to acquire shares at a discount, traders (as opposed to investors) may just be interested in collecting the put premium as an income strategy.Rules to RememberWe must like the stock at or around the strike price and believe it will recover over time. Even if we're just selling puts to collect premiums, keep in mind that we could end up owning shares.Of course, there must be options available on the stock. The options should have good liquidity – decent volume, open interest, and bid/ask spreads that aren't too wide. The strike prices near the current share price should have hundreds, if not thousands, of open interest contracts. The bid/ask spreads on the options should be just a few pennies wide. It's usually a good sign of option liquidity if weekly, not just monthly, options are available.What Makes a Good Candidate?Look for companies with a long history of good earnings that have rebounded after many economic cycles. The company sells a product or service that will likely remain in demand for the foreseeable future. (No \"buggy whip\" manufacturers.) A good candidate will likely weather the current storm and come out okay when the economy recovers.Ideally, the share price is under $25, preferably under $20. At that price level and below, the option premiums relative to the share price make for efficient use of capital and an attractive return on risk.Example SetupSay company \"ABC\" was trading for $34 a share before the general market selloff but now is trading for roughly half that at $15.60. There is \"blood in the streets,\" but overall sentiment may be improving.The price action on the chart shows some tentative signs of bottoming. A gap up with increased volume is a good sign. A recent earnings report that wasn't as \"bad\" as expected is another good sign.In this example, the premium for the $15 put is $1.20 for an expiration 42 days away. While the $15 strike is currently out-of-the-money (OTM), if we had shares put to us at $15, our cost basis would be $15 - $1.20, or $13.80.If the shares were trading at $14 at expiration, we'd have shares put to us. But we would still be ahead on the trade with a profit. We could turn around and sell those shares at $14 and have a profit of $0.20.As options sellers, we're selling time value that decays as the expiration date approaches. We know that regardless of what happens with the share price, the time value we sold will be $0 at expiration.As an alternative to risking assignment, we could roll the trade forward rather than wait for shares to be put for us. We could buy back the option on or near the expiration date and sell another option further out in time. We can typically do that for a net credit.

Selling puts gives us a way to get \"paid\" while we wait for the share price to recover. We can make a profit if the share price goes up, sideways, or even down a bit.Enjoy your

The stock, which Buffett has been accumulating since February, has risen 85% year-to-date. Buffett&#39;s more recent OXY buys were above the current price, but given when he started buying, he probably enjoyed 50%+ gains on his earlier purchases. For Buffett, that&#39;s not a positive, since he likes to accumulate cheap, but it will probably be seen as a positive by many<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (BRK.B) (BRK.A) shareholders, who presumably want to see stock prices rise.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36624dec9fb10d4ac4ac563baba3547f\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"899\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Buffett&#39;s OXY buys (Google Finance)</p><p>Buffett&#39;s gains on oil and gas stocks this year have been well-publicized. In addition to the recent OXY buys, he also bought enough <b>Chevron</b> (CVX) to make it his fourth-biggest holding. That Buffett has made gains on these stocks is not in doubt: everybody knows that oil stocks are doing well this year.</p><p>The more controversial matter is whether Occidental Petroleum is still a buy. Unlike the giant Chevron, Occidental is not a household name. With a mere $54 billion market cap, it is a bit player compared to the oil and gas titans. This means that making an informed investment in Occidental Petroleum takes more due diligence than does an investment in Chevron, as you do not have ready access to as much &#34;Scuttlebutt&#34; in OXY&#39;s case. With a company like Chevron, you can get regular clues as to the company&#39;s performance just by going outdoors and checking out Texaco prices and traffic levels. OXY&#39;s operations are not quite as visible in the world, and therefore its success is less obvious.</p><p>Nevertheless, OXY is in fact succeeding. Its revenue, earnings and cash flows are up dramatically this year, and its balance sheet is in OK shape too. With a 4.44 ratio of price to operating cash flow, the stock is cheap even if we assume that oil prices decline. Finally, it has a smaller market cap than some of the big energy names out there, giving it more room for multiple expansion. On the whole, the company&#39;s future appears bright, and Buffett&#39;s investment in it is just one vote of confidence among many.</p><h2>OXY&#39;s Operations</h2><p>To understand why Occidental Petroleum is so well-positioned right now, you need to understand its operations. OXY has three main business units:</p><ul><li><p>Oil and gas.</p></li><li><p>Midstream.</p></li><li><p>Chemicals.</p></li></ul><p>The oil and gas business is the one that benefits the most directly from the rising crude prices we&#39;re seeing this year. This is the business unit that sells the crude oil OXY extracts. When oil prices rise, OXY&#39;s revenue rises, and its profit margins widen. According to CEO Vicki Holub, OXY breaks even at $40 oil (WTI Crude). So, oil prices can fall considerably and the company&#39;s oil and gas business will still be profitable.</p><p>Next up we have midstream. This business mainly ships Occidental&#39;s own products to buyers, which helps the company save money. OXY also has a partially-owned midstream subsidiary, Western Midstream (WES), which transports oil and gas for other companies in exchange for fees. However, that business is in the process of being spun off. The midstream segment lost $50 million in the most recent quarter, although the equity income in WES was $159 million. On the whole, midstream is not OXY&#39;s most profitable business unit, but it helps the company avoid paying for third-party midstream services.</p><p>Last but not least, we have chemicals. This segment produces industrial chemicals like chlorine, vinyl, sodium silicate, potassium carbonate, and others. This segment is profitable, with $671 million in earnings in the most recent quarter.</p><p>OXY&#39;s business mix gives it some durable competitive advantages. The fact that it can transport its own oil and gas lets it capture operational efficiencies, and the chemicals business adds an additional revenue stream on top of its thriving oil and gas business. Compared to, say, a pure-play midstream company, Occidental Petroleum has significant operational diversification.</p><h2>Financials and Valuation</h2><p>Speaking of OXY&#39;s businesses, we can now get into their financials.</p><p>In the most recent quarter, OXY delivered:</p><ul><li><p>$8.5 billion in total revenue.</p></li><li><p>$4.67 billion in net income, up from the prior-year quarter&#39;s loss.</p></li><li><p>$4.65 in EPS, also up from a loss.</p></li><li><p>$3.2 billion in operating cash flow, up 311%.</p></li></ul><p>From these figures, we get a 54.9% net margin and a 37% cash flow margin - indicating solid profitability. The trailing 12-month figures also show solid growth and profitability, but to a lesser extent, because 2021 wasn&#39;t as strong as 2022 has been so far.</p><p>Having looked at OXY&#39;s recent earnings, we can now turn to its balance sheet. Occidental Petroleum&#39;s balance sheet is, like those of many oil companies, pristine, boasting metrics like:</p><ul><li><p>$74.2 billion in assets.</p></li><li><p>$49.3 billion in liabilities.</p></li><li><p>$24.9 billion in equity.</p></li><li><p>$10 billion in current assets.</p></li><li><p>$8.7 billion in current liabilities.</p></li><li><p>$25.6 billion in long-term debt.</p></li></ul><p>From these balance sheet metrics, we get a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02 and a current ratio of 1.14. These suggest decent liquidity and solvency. The balance sheet is probably the weakest part of the picture for OXY - long-term debt in excess of equity isn&#39;t great, but OXY can use its enormous profits this year to pay down its debt. So, interest expenses should go down, and solvency should improve.</p><p>Now, let&#39;s look at OXY&#39;s valuation. Based on today&#39;s stock price and trailing 12-month financials, we get the following multiples:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E - 12.6.</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E - 9.</p></li><li><p>Price/sales - 1.95.</p></li><li><p>Price/book - 2.5.</p></li><li><p>Price/cash flow - 4.44.</p></li></ul><p>These are all rock bottom multiples. Even if you slashed OXY&#39;s operating cash flows in half, they&#39;d still only give a single-digit multiple at today&#39;s prices. Of course, if oil prices fell enough, then OXY&#39;s cash flows could fall by more than half. That&#39;s most likely what has some people unconvinced by OXY stock. In the next section, I&#39;ll explore the matter of oil prices, and what they mean for Occidental Petroleum.</p><h2>Oil Prices</h2><p>Oil prices have been responsible for much of Occidental Petroleum&#39;s gains this year. Buffett himself called OXY a &#34;bet on oil prices,&#34; so naturally, prices are a big part of the bull thesis.</p><p>At the time of this writing (Tuesday afternoon), oil prices were trending downward. Crude oil had dipped below $100 for the first time in many months, and OXY stock had fallen right alongside it.</p><p>It&#39;s only natural for oil stocks to correlate with the price of oil. After all, the higher prices go, the more money oil companies make. In a past article, I wrote that oil prices are likely to be pretty strong all year long. I still believe that, but there&#39;s more to the story. Oil companies have a certain oil price they need to clear to make money; beyond that point, costs and production can influence profitability quite a bit. In OXY&#39;s case, the breakeven oil price is $40 - few experts think we&#39;ll go that low any time soon.</p><p>Furthermore, OXY stock remains cheap even if we assume prices go much lower than they are now. In the fourth quarter of 2021, WTI oil prices averaged about $75. In that quarter, Occidental Petroleum did $1.37 in EPS. Let&#39;s assume that, tomorrow, oil prices crash to $75, and OXY only does $1.37 in EPS per quarter for the next 12-month period. That works out to $5.48 over 12 months. At today&#39;s stock price of $57.69, that gives us a P/E ratio of just 10.52. So, OXY is still cheap by at least one metric even if oil prices fall to 2021 levels!</p><h2>Risks and Challenges</h2><p>As we&#39;ve seen, Occidental Petroleum is a very cheap oil stock that will remain cheap even if oil prices fall to $75. That&#39;s not even factoring in the possibility of oil prices rising again after the strategic petroleum release ends. There are certainly many things pointing toward OXY having a strong year. However, there are risks and challenges to keep in mind, as well. They include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Debt.</b> One thing that&#39;s not as attractive with OXY as with other oil stocks is its debt level. At $25.6 billion, it&#39;s currently higher than total shareholder equity. A debt-to-equity ratio of exactly one isn&#39;t terrible, but it&#39;s not amazing either. $25 billion in debt produces a lot of interest expenses, $371 million worth per quarter, to be precise. In addition to having to clear a $40 oil price, OXY has to clear $371 million in interest before it can turn a profit. So, the debt could be a problem if the price of oil goes down.</p></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6ae4385b7a1d43a75100a8dc1353533\" tg-width=\"1124\" tg-height=\"614\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>OXY&#39;s enormous interest expenses (Occidental Petroleum)</p><ul><li><p><b>Interest rate hikes.</b> The Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates this year, hoping to get prices (especially oil prices) down. Inflation is a big concern these days, and the central banks are trying really hard to combat it. The higher interest rates go, the more expensive it is to borrow. That can lead to people spending less money on things like gasoline. So, the Fed&#39;s interest rate hikes may take a bite out of oil prices this year. If they do, then OXY shares could go down, since the stock is highly correlated with oil prices.</p></li></ul><p>The risks above are very real. If the Fed hikes interest rates enough to crater OXY&#39;s earnings, then it could lead to issues with servicing the debt. However, there are enough reasons to think that oil will stay strong this year, too. The SPR release will end, and OPEC is running out of spare capacity. These two factors alone suggest that oil prices will be strong over the long term. So, there&#39;s reason for optimism toward Occidental Petroleum, the latest big winner in Warren Buffett&#39;s portfolio.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Occidental Petroleum: Buffett Wins Again</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\">\nOccidental Petroleum: Buffett Wins Again\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-06 09:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4521879-occidental-petroleum-buffett-wins-again><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryWarren Buffett has been buying Occidental Petroleum stock all year.He is sitting on gains on the majority of his position.Many question Buffett's wisdom of continuing to buy OXY with WTI Crude ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4521879-occidental-petroleum-buffett-wins-again\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OXY":"西方石油","BRK.A":"伯克希尔"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4521879-occidental-petroleum-buffett-wins-again","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2249238537","content_text":"SummaryWarren Buffett has been buying Occidental Petroleum stock all year.He is sitting on gains on the majority of his position.Many question Buffett's wisdom of continuing to buy OXY with WTI Crude going down.The thing is that OXY is undervalued even with oil lower than it is today.There are some extreme low oil prices at which OXY would be overvalued (e.g., 2020 prices) but those are unlikely to materialize.Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) has been one of Warren Buffett's best investments in years. The stock, which Buffett has been accumulating since February, has risen 85% year-to-date. Buffett's more recent OXY buys were above the current price, but given when he started buying, he probably enjoyed 50%+ gains on his earlier purchases. For Buffett, that's not a positive, since he likes to accumulate cheap, but it will probably be seen as a positive by manyBerkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) (BRK.A) shareholders, who presumably want to see stock prices rise.Buffett's OXY buys (Google Finance)Buffett's gains on oil and gas stocks this year have been well-publicized. In addition to the recent OXY buys, he also bought enough Chevron (CVX) to make it his fourth-biggest holding. That Buffett has made gains on these stocks is not in doubt: everybody knows that oil stocks are doing well this year.The more controversial matter is whether Occidental Petroleum is still a buy. Unlike the giant Chevron, Occidental is not a household name. With a mere $54 billion market cap, it is a bit player compared to the oil and gas titans. This means that making an informed investment in Occidental Petroleum takes more due diligence than does an investment in Chevron, as you do not have ready access to as much \"Scuttlebutt\" in OXY's case. With a company like Chevron, you can get regular clues as to the company's performance just by going outdoors and checking out Texaco prices and traffic levels. OXY's operations are not quite as visible in the world, and therefore its success is less obvious.Nevertheless, OXY is in fact succeeding. Its revenue, earnings and cash flows are up dramatically this year, and its balance sheet is in OK shape too. With a 4.44 ratio of price to operating cash flow, the stock is cheap even if we assume that oil prices decline. Finally, it has a smaller market cap than some of the big energy names out there, giving it more room for multiple expansion. On the whole, the company's future appears bright, and Buffett's investment in it is just one vote of confidence among many.OXY's OperationsTo understand why Occidental Petroleum is so well-positioned right now, you need to understand its operations. OXY has three main business units:Oil and gas.Midstream.Chemicals.The oil and gas business is the one that benefits the most directly from the rising crude prices we're seeing this year. This is the business unit that sells the crude oil OXY extracts. When oil prices rise, OXY's revenue rises, and its profit margins widen. According to CEO Vicki Holub, OXY breaks even at $40 oil (WTI Crude). So, oil prices can fall considerably and the company's oil and gas business will still be profitable.Next up we have midstream. This business mainly ships Occidental's own products to buyers, which helps the company save money. OXY also has a partially-owned midstream subsidiary, Western Midstream (WES), which transports oil and gas for other companies in exchange for fees. However, that business is in the process of being spun off. The midstream segment lost $50 million in the most recent quarter, although the equity income in WES was $159 million. On the whole, midstream is not OXY's most profitable business unit, but it helps the company avoid paying for third-party midstream services.Last but not least, we have chemicals. This segment produces industrial chemicals like chlorine, vinyl, sodium silicate, potassium carbonate, and others. This segment is profitable, with $671 million in earnings in the most recent quarter.OXY's business mix gives it some durable competitive advantages. The fact that it can transport its own oil and gas lets it capture operational efficiencies, and the chemicals business adds an additional revenue stream on top of its thriving oil and gas business. Compared to, say, a pure-play midstream company, Occidental Petroleum has significant operational diversification.Financials and ValuationSpeaking of OXY's businesses, we can now get into their financials.In the most recent quarter, OXY delivered:$8.5 billion in total revenue.$4.67 billion in net income, up from the prior-year quarter's loss.$4.65 in EPS, also up from a loss.$3.2 billion in operating cash flow, up 311%.From these figures, we get a 54.9% net margin and a 37% cash flow margin - indicating solid profitability. The trailing 12-month figures also show solid growth and profitability, but to a lesser extent, because 2021 wasn't as strong as 2022 has been so far.Having looked at OXY's recent earnings, we can now turn to its balance sheet. Occidental Petroleum's balance sheet is, like those of many oil companies, pristine, boasting metrics like:$74.2 billion in assets.$49.3 billion in liabilities.$24.9 billion in equity.$10 billion in current assets.$8.7 billion in current liabilities.$25.6 billion in long-term debt.From these balance sheet metrics, we get a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02 and a current ratio of 1.14. These suggest decent liquidity and solvency. The balance sheet is probably the weakest part of the picture for OXY - long-term debt in excess of equity isn't great, but OXY can use its enormous profits this year to pay down its debt. So, interest expenses should go down, and solvency should improve.Now, let's look at OXY's valuation. Based on today's stock price and trailing 12-month financials, we get the following multiples:Adjusted P/E - 12.6.GAAP P/E - 9.Price/sales - 1.95.Price/book - 2.5.Price/cash flow - 4.44.These are all rock bottom multiples. Even if you slashed OXY's operating cash flows in half, they'd still only give a single-digit multiple at today's prices. Of course, if oil prices fell enough, then OXY's cash flows could fall by more than half. That's most likely what has some people unconvinced by OXY stock. In the next section, I'll explore the matter of oil prices, and what they mean for Occidental Petroleum.Oil PricesOil prices have been responsible for much of Occidental Petroleum's gains this year. Buffett himself called OXY a \"bet on oil prices,\" so naturally, prices are a big part of the bull thesis.At the time of this writing (Tuesday afternoon), oil prices were trending downward. Crude oil had dipped below $100 for the first time in many months, and OXY stock had fallen right alongside it.It's only natural for oil stocks to correlate with the price of oil. After all, the higher prices go, the more money oil companies make. In a past article, I wrote that oil prices are likely to be pretty strong all year long. I still believe that, but there's more to the story. Oil companies have a certain oil price they need to clear to make money; beyond that point, costs and production can influence profitability quite a bit. In OXY's case, the breakeven oil price is $40 - few experts think we'll go that low any time soon.Furthermore, OXY stock remains cheap even if we assume prices go much lower than they are now. In the fourth quarter of 2021, WTI oil prices averaged about $75. In that quarter, Occidental Petroleum did $1.37 in EPS. Let's assume that, tomorrow, oil prices crash to $75, and OXY only does $1.37 in EPS per quarter for the next 12-month period. That works out to $5.48 over 12 months. At today's stock price of $57.69, that gives us a P/E ratio of just 10.52. So, OXY is still cheap by at least one metric even if oil prices fall to 2021 levels!Risks and ChallengesAs we've seen, Occidental Petroleum is a very cheap oil stock that will remain cheap even if oil prices fall to $75. That's not even factoring in the possibility of oil prices rising again after the strategic petroleum release ends. There are certainly many things pointing toward OXY having a strong year. However, there are risks and challenges to keep in mind, as well. They include:Debt. One thing that's not as attractive with OXY as with other oil stocks is its debt level. At $25.6 billion, it's currently higher than total shareholder equity. A debt-to-equity ratio of exactly one isn't terrible, but it's not amazing either. $25 billion in debt produces a lot of interest expenses, $371 million worth per quarter, to be precise. In addition to having to clear a $40 oil price, OXY has to clear $371 million in interest before it can turn a profit. So, the debt could be a problem if the price of oil goes down.OXY's enormous interest expenses (Occidental Petroleum)Interest rate hikes. The Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates this year, hoping to get prices (especially oil prices) down. Inflation is a big concern these days, and the central banks are trying really hard to combat it. The higher interest rates go, the more expensive it is to borrow. That can lead to people spending less money on things like gasoline. So, the Fed's interest rate hikes may take a bite out of oil prices this year. If they do, then OXY shares could go down, since the stock is highly correlated with oil prices.The risks above are very real. If the Fed hikes interest rates enough to crater OXY's earnings, then it could lead to issues with servicing the debt. However, there are enough reasons to think that oil will stay strong this year, too. The SPR release will end, and OPEC is running out of spare capacity. These two factors alone suggest that oil prices will be strong over the long term. So, there's reason for optimism toward Occidental Petroleum, the latest big winner in Warren Buffett's portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9047638513,"gmtCreate":1656905172732,"gmtModify":1676535913749,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That's.... a good thing I guess?","listText":"That's.... a good thing I guess?","text":"That's.... a good thing I guess?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9047638513","repostId":"2248362409","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042663221,"gmtCreate":1656468710163,"gmtModify":1676535835653,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Would REITs be a safer option then individual stocks?","listText":"Would REITs be a safer option then individual stocks?","text":"Would REITs be a safer option then individual stocks?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9042663221","repostId":"1175550998","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9046949352,"gmtCreate":1656292411076,"gmtModify":1676535799971,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Basically a gamble, the effects are observed delayed&nbsp;only after the rate hikes","listText":"Basically a gamble, the effects are observed delayed&nbsp;only after the rate hikes","text":"Basically a gamble, the effects are observed delayed only after the rate hikes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9046949352","repostId":"1153223024","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153223024","pubTimestamp":1656284993,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153223024?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-27 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Powell’s Path to 2% Inflation Needs Luck or, Failing That, Pain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153223024","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Soft landing hinges on prices falling fast as supply improvesRelying mostly on Fed policy means much","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Soft landing hinges on prices falling fast as supply improves</li><li>Relying mostly on Fed policy means much higher unemployment</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fda361702c01860c1cbb23e07d9b0d4a\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Jerome PowellPhotographer: Eric Lee/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sees two possible paths for the economy and monetary policy over the next year: With some luck, inflation will cool with the help of more supply.

Powell said that a similar move, or one of 50 basis points, was on the table when they meet late next month.

Final results from the Michigan survey, published Friday, showed a smaller increase, however, to 3.1%.</p><blockquote>“After preliminary data showing inflation expectations spiking so alarmed Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the June FOMC, the jump was almost erased in the final reading. These developments bolster the case for the FOMC to downshift rate hikes from 75 bps to 50 basis points in July, which is our baseline.”</blockquote><blockquote>-- Anna Wong, Yelena Shulyatyeva, Andrew Husby and Eliza Winger (economists)</blockquote><p>Chicago Fed President Charles Evans told reporters Thursday that “we can’t afford to be fooled again on this, or else it’s going to get beyond us.”</p><p>“We’re all kind of counting on these real factors improving to bring down inflation,” he said. “If we’re counting on monetary policy restraint only, then a Phillips curve which is pretty flat, and inflation expectations -- I mean, you would need a much higher increase in the unemployment rate to provide inflation restraint.”</p><p>And that’s the painful scenario.</p><p>Powell told the Senate that a recession is not the Fed’s intended outcome but is “certainly a possibility.”</p><p>“Frankly, the events of the last few months around the world have made it more difficult for us to achieve what we want, which is 2% inflation and still a strong labor market,” he added.</p><p>Fed officials fear rising food and energy inflation could boost inflation expectations, which in turn could make it harder to bring down overall inflation.

And if that fails, the Fed won’t hesitate to impose a more painful solution.In the best-case scenario, the Fed’s front-loaded interest-rate hikes slow demand for rate-sensitive sectors like housing, cars and other durable goods bought on credit. Plus -- over time -- supply disruptions ease and come back into better balance with demand. In Powell’s view, there is a chance that price growth can slow quite quickly, helping the Fed reduce inflation toward its 2% target.“If demand can move back down, then inflation could move to back along that path just as quickly as it went up,” Powell told the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday during his semi-annual testimony before Congress.Powell said the Fed had misjudged inflation’s momentum in late 2021. Inflation, according to the central bank’s preferred measure, is running at 6.3%. The central bank is now trying to front-load policy restraint.Officials raised interest rates by 75 basis points earlier this month -- lifting the target range for their main benchmark to 1.5% to 1.75%. Powell said that a similar move, or one of 50 basis points, was on the table when they meet late next month. Investors have almost fully priced another 75 basis-point move in July.Collectively, Fed officials in their June projections saw inflation gliding back down to near 2% by 2024 with growth hardly dipping much below 2%, while unemployment rises modestly.Michael Pond, the top inflation strategist at Barclays Plc in New York, says the Fed’s outlook could work out.He points to falling freight rates and well-stocked retail inventories as signs that “supply-chain constraints are starting to ease up.”“In our base-case forecast, we do have quite a bit of disinflation as we get into next year,” Pond says. “But there is still significant uncertainty.”Add something else to that list: Fed officials worry rolling price shocks --most recently to food and energy after Russia - Ukraine -- could dislodge public expectations about trend prices going forward.Survey measures of such expectations for future inflation, for example, are notoriously correlated to the level of gas prices today.Fed officials are concerned that rising expectations now could harden into a reset of the way the public considers the average rate of inflation going forward, though they got some good news on that front on Friday.A preliminary reading of the University of Michigan’s June measure of expected inflation 5 to 10 years ahead jumped to 3.3% -- the highest reading since 2008 -- and Powell and other Fed officials have pointed to that June 10 data release as one of the factors in their last-minute decision to raise by 75 basis points five days later. Final results from the Michigan survey, published Friday, showed a smaller increase, however, to 3.1%.“After preliminary data showing inflation expectations spiking so alarmed Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the June FOMC, the jump was almost erased in the final reading. These developments bolster the case for the FOMC to downshift rate hikes from 75 bps to 50 basis points in July, which is our baseline.”-- Anna Wong, Yelena Shulyatyeva, Andrew Husby and Eliza Winger (economists)Chicago Fed President Charles Evans told reporters Thursday that “we can’t afford to be fooled again on this, or else it’s going to get beyond us.”“We’re all kind of counting on these real factors improving to bring down inflation,” he said. “If we’re counting on monetary policy restraint only, then a Phillips curve which is pretty flat, and inflation expectations -- I mean, you would need a much higher increase in the unemployment rate to provide inflation restraint.”And that’s the painful scenario.Powell told the Senate that a recession is not the Fed’s intended outcome but is “certainly a possibility.”“Frankly, the events of the last few months around the world have made it more difficult for us to achieve what we want, which is 2% inflation and still a strong labor market,” he added.Fed officials fear rising food and energy inflation could boost inflation expectations, which in turn could make it harder to bring down overall inflation. So far, that’s not been the case: Food and energy inflation accelerated in May, while so-called core inflation, which strips out food and energy, moderated. Analysts expect that divergence between headline and core measures to widen in the coming months.Fascinating/Terrifying“This is a fascinating and terrifying situation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton LLP. “You are getting a supply shock that can feed into expectations that can make it really hard to eradicate inflation without doing something more dramatic.”If they don’t get near-term relief with some disinflation coming from more supply, then Fed officials have made it clear that they are willing to suppress demand until prices break. Nobody knows where the tipping point into recession is in that process.“To think that we can fine-tune something like this with tremendous precision, I mean, we just don’t have that ability,” said Evans. “The first thing that we’re looking at is to make sure we take the steam out of the inflation pressures that we’re seeing, that we bring it down to something much more in line with below 3%.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9048868667,"gmtCreate":1656194996859,"gmtModify":1676535781091,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp;The lowered prices made them more attractive to get!","listText":"&nbsp;The lowered prices made them more attractive to get!","text":"The lowered prices made them more attractive to get!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9048868667","repostId":"2245454277","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041498215,"gmtCreate":1656082602237,"gmtModify":1676535764583,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It may rebound based on the economy, but definitely facing several challenges that investors will look at how it overcome it","listText":"It may rebound based on the economy, but definitely facing several challenges that investors will look at how it overcome it","text":"It may rebound based on the economy, but definitely facing several challenges that investors will look at how it overcome it","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041498215","repostId":"1143013850","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041491779,"gmtCreate":1656082519291,"gmtModify":1676535764567,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow, this is amazing","listText":"Wow, this is amazing","text":"Wow, this is amazing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041491779","repostId":"1104759506","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104759506","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":1656081800,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1104759506?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-24 22:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"USA Truck Shares Soared 110% in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104759506","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"USA Truck shares soared 110% in morning trading as DB Schenker would acquire all outstanding shares ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>USA Truck shares soared 110% in morning trading as DB Schenker would acquire all outstanding shares of USA Truck common stock for $31.72 per share in cash.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ab7f5fd97fdc77c9c5a46f883470bd0\" tg-width=\"874\" tg-height=\"620\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DB Schenker, one of the world&#39;s leading logistics service providers, and USA Truck (NASDAQ:USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider, today announced an agreement under which DB Schenker will acquire all outstanding shares of USA Truck common stock for $31.72 per share in cash.

Of course, the company still needs to obtain the approval of shareholders -- the measure will be put to a vote at the annual meeting on Aug. 4 -- but many investors are already excited about the implications.While stock splits have no direct impact on business performance, they do reduce the price of each share, which makes the stock more accessible to retail investors. That occasionally translates into price appreciation, simply because new investors start buying. And with Tesla down 42% from its high, a post-split rebound probably sounds pretty good to shareholders.Unfortunately, stock splits don't always trigger price appreciation, and there are several other variables at play.Tesla is facing headwindsTesla was firing on all cylinders in the first quarter.

Also","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The next-generation CarPlay interface is a precursor to an eventual Apple-designed Tesla rival. Also: Apple’s flawed new multitasking system, what it means that the company’s tvOS was missing in action at WWDC 2022, and how the event was full of clues about an upcoming AR/VR headset.</p><p>When Apple Inc. unveiled a new version of CarPlay at the Worldwide Developers Conference last week, it was more than a software update—it previewed one of the most exciting products in the company’s pipeline: an electric car.</p><p>The move fit a pattern for Apple. Before the company enters a major new product category, it usually releases something that serves as the foundation.</p><ul><li>In January 2001, Apple launched iTunes. Ten months later, the iPod arrived.</li><li>In 2014, Apple released HealthKit and the Health app, which heralded the Apple Watch’s debut in 2015.</li><li>Also in 2014, Apple introduced HomeKit. That predated the HomePod smart speaker, as well as smart-home hub technology being integrated into the iPad and Apple TV.</li><li>Currently, Apple is all-in on augmented and virtual reality, having launched ARKit in 2017. It’s also continually adding new related technologies across its platforms, creating the foundation of its upcoming headset and realityOS.</li></ul><p>Next up on the list is the latest generation of CarPlay—what I consider to be the most tantalizing announcement from this year’s developer conference. I don’t believe we’ll see the new CarPlay system on public roads until 2024, but Apple had to announce it, in part, to help pressure automakers to adopt the software. It’s a source of tension: Some car companies don’t want Apple to take over their interface, and the software could ultimately be used in a future vehicle that they have to compete with.</p><p>As I reported last October, the new CarPlay expands Apple’s in-car interface from controlling just Apple apps to controlling the entire vehicle. The new CarPlay is capable of replacing a car’s instrument clusters, radio, temperature controls and more with an Apple interface.</p><p>The new interface is also fully customizable, letting users personalize the look of their instrument clusters, the screens in their cars, and widgets for weather, calendar appointments, trip data, time zones, music and smart-home appliances.</p><p>I think the new CarPlay interface is exceptionally well-designed and will instantly become a must-have for a new car purchase. It also looks more like an entirely new operating system than just a next-generation version of CarPlay.</p><p>That’s why it seems like the ideal interface for an Apple car later this decade. But that raises a key question: Why would Apple bring this interface to third-party cars if it’s planning its own vehicle with the same approach?</p><p>The easy answer is that Apple wants to show consumers its car chops. You like what you see here? Then you’re going to love the Apple car. It also helps the company learn about the auto industry and gather the necessary data to help build its own ride.</p><p>But let’s go deeper. Apple needs to keep adding reasons for people to hold on to their iPhones and upgrade to new models. On average, Americans spend an hour behind the wheel daily, according to some estimates. If a consumer loves the in-car interface powered by the iPhone, that’s another check box that will keep the customer from switching to Android.</p><p>There’s also a potential way for CarPlay to become another revenue driver for Apple. Today, Apple doesn’t collect royalties or fees from automakers that use CarPlay. The current system also requires connecting an iPhone.</p><p>But the situation could change if Apple got more involved with the process. In-car infotainment systems require special components, software and engineering time—and that’s not typically the core competency of car makers. I’m sure some of them would love to pass off that responsibility.</p><p>If the next version of CarPlay becomes popular enough, perhaps Apple could create a version that is built completely into vehicles and doesn’t require an iPhone. Google currently offers such a system, called Android Automotive (rather than the Android Auto feature that requires a phone). An Apple “carOS” could be useful for automakers, which are always looking for features that can increase sales and cut expenses. Paying a royalty for Apple to handle their in-car OS might be the answer.</p><p>Now, back to the Apple car. How far along is it really? Despite all the recent staff departures from the project, I’m still led to believe that development of a vehicle is moving forward.</p><p>The latest I’ve gathered is that Apple is negotiating supply-chain deals for car parts and overall manufacturing. I’m also told that Kevin Lynch, the new head of the project, has roped in some of his lieutenants from the Apple Watch group to help develop the car.</p><p>Lynch also recently reshuffled the car management team, and people familiar with the group say it’s now hitting deadlines that it might have missed under previous leadership.</p><p>I’m told that Apple has some of the car industry’s best design minds working on what the actual vehicle will look like. That includes former Aston Martin interiors manager Duncan Taylor, ex-Aston Martin chief concept engineer Pete Jolley, former Tesla exteriors and interiors vice president Steve MacManus and ex-Porsche executive Manfred Harrer.</p><p>Though people familiar with the project doubt Apple will meet its goal of shipping a fully autonomous car around 2025, the company is still aiming to announce a vehicle as early as then. Even without self-driving capabilities, a well-designed Apple car with all of the iPhone’s bells and whistles could quickly become a serious challenger to Tesla Inc.</p><h2><b>The Bench</b></h2><p><b>WWDC 2022 was full of clues about Apple’s future AR/VR headset.</b>As I said would be the case six months ago, Apple didn’t unveil its mixed-reality headset at WWDC. When I reported on the decision to delay the introduction, I had heard that a fall unveiling would also be a stretch. I’m now thinking the debut will probably be early 2023 if something doesn’t change dramatically (which, of course, is possible).</p><p>But as Ireported before the show, we did get plenty of hints that things are still moving forward with Apple’s augmented reality efforts.

Also: Apple’s flawed new multitasking system, what it means that the company’s tvOS was missing in action at WWDC 2022, and how the event was full of clues about an upcoming AR/VR headset.When Apple Inc. unveiled a new version of CarPlay at the Worldwide Developers Conference last week, it was more than a software update—it previewed one of the most exciting products in the company’s pipeline: an electric car.The move fit a pattern for Apple. Before the company enters a major new product category, it usually releases something that serves as the foundation.In January 2001, Apple launched iTunes. Ten months later, the iPod arrived.In 2014, Apple released HealthKit and the Health app, which heralded the Apple Watch’s debut in 2015.Also in 2014, Apple introduced HomeKit. That predated the HomePod smart speaker, as well as smart-home hub technology being integrated into the iPad and Apple TV.Currently, Apple is all-in on augmented and virtual reality, having launched ARKit in 2017. It’s also continually adding new related technologies across its platforms, creating the foundation of its upcoming headset and realityOS.Next up on the list is the latest generation of CarPlay—what I consider to be the most tantalizing announcement from this year’s developer conference. I don’t believe we’ll see the new CarPlay system on public roads until 2024, but Apple had to announce it, in part, to help pressure automakers to adopt the software. It’s a source of tension: Some car companies don’t want Apple to take over their interface, and the software could ultimately be used in a future vehicle that they have to compete with.As I reported last October, the new CarPlay expands Apple’s in-car interface from controlling just Apple apps to controlling the entire vehicle. The new CarPlay is capable of replacing a car’s instrument clusters, radio, temperature controls and more with an Apple interface.The new interface is also fully customizable, letting users personalize the look of their instrument clusters, the screens in their cars, and widgets for weather, calendar appointments, trip data, time zones, music and smart-home appliances.I think the new CarPlay interface is exceptionally well-designed and will instantly become a must-have for a new car purchase. It also looks more like an entirely new operating system than just a next-generation version of CarPlay.That’s why it seems like the ideal interface for an Apple car later this decade. But that raises a key question: Why would Apple bring this interface to third-party cars if it’s planning its own vehicle with the same approach?The easy answer is that Apple wants to show consumers its car chops. You like what you see here? Then you’re going to love the Apple car. It also helps the company learn about the auto industry and gather the necessary data to help build its own ride.But let’s go deeper. Apple needs to keep adding reasons for people to hold on to their iPhones and upgrade to new models. On average, Americans spend an hour behind the wheel daily, according to some estimates. If a consumer loves the in-car interface powered by the iPhone, that’s another check box that will keep the customer from switching to Android.There’s also a potential way for CarPlay to become another revenue driver for Apple. Today, Apple doesn’t collect royalties or fees from automakers that use CarPlay. The current system also requires connecting an iPhone.But the situation could change if Apple got more involved with the process. In-car infotainment systems require special components, software and engineering time—and that’s not typically the core competency of car makers. I’m sure some of them would love to pass off that responsibility.If the next version of CarPlay becomes popular enough, perhaps Apple could create a version that is built completely into vehicles and doesn’t require an iPhone. Google currently offers such a system, called Android Automotive (rather than the Android Auto feature that requires a phone). An Apple “carOS” could be useful for automakers, which are always looking for features that can increase sales and cut expenses. Paying a royalty for Apple to handle their in-car OS might be the answer.Now, back to the Apple car. How far along is it really? Despite all the recent staff departures from the project, I’m still led to believe that development of a vehicle is moving forward.The latest I’ve gathered is that Apple is negotiating supply-chain deals for car parts and overall manufacturing. I’m also told that Kevin Lynch, the new head of the project, has roped in some of his lieutenants from the Apple Watch group to help develop the car.Lynch also recently reshuffled the car management team, and people familiar with the group say it’s now hitting deadlines that it might have missed under previous leadership.I’m told that Apple has some of the car industry’s best design minds working on what the actual vehicle will look like. That includes former Aston Martin interiors manager Duncan Taylor, ex-Aston Martin chief concept engineer Pete Jolley, former Tesla exteriors and interiors vice president Steve MacManus and ex-Porsche executive Manfred Harrer.Though people familiar with the project doubt Apple will meet its goal of shipping a fully autonomous car around 2025, the company is still aiming to announce a vehicle as early as then. Even without self-driving capabilities, a well-designed Apple car with all of the iPhone’s bells and whistles could quickly become a serious challenger to Tesla Inc.The BenchWWDC 2022 was full of clues about Apple’s future AR/VR headset.As I said would be the case six months ago, Apple didn’t unveil its mixed-reality headset at WWDC. When I reported on the decision to delay the introduction, I had heard that a fall unveiling would also be a stretch. I’m now thinking the debut will probably be early 2023 if something doesn’t change dramatically (which, of course, is possible).But as Ireported before the show, we did get plenty of hints that things are still moving forward with Apple’s augmented reality efforts. Let me break down a few of the clues:ARKit 6 wasannounced, adding 4K video capture in augmented reality, new depth APIs and quicker placement of AR objects in the real world. Apple has made big improvements to its underlying framework that will help power the future headset.Appleannounced RoomPlan, a new Swift API that allows for the scanning of a room to understand its dimensions and objects. This technology will obviously play a vital role on a mixed-reality device.Metal 3 with support for improved graphics and higher-performance gaming was alsoannounced. Expect Metal to be part of development for realityOS, the software that will run the headset.SharePlay was extended out of FaceTime, allowing users to jointly watch content in Messages. Apple is clearly trying to break SharePlay out of individual apps and make it a stand-alone, systemwide feature. Jointly experiencing content while in AR and VR will be key to Apple’s device.Passkeys—a replacement for passwords—also was shown. Who wants to input passwords on a mixed-reality headset? Seriously, try doing it on an Oculus Quest.A new dictation feature allows simultaneous text and voice input for typing. That’s clearly in preparation for text input on the headset.New features for scanning and interpreting text live, as well as the ability to better parse subjects in images, will also play nicely with the eventual device.And, finally, Ray Wong over at Inputhilariously pointed out that Apple’s new “buy now, pay later” servicecould also make the cost of the headset a lot easier to handle (since it has a limit, you’ll need to wait for the monthly installment version of the feature with Goldman Sachs).We’re likely only months away from seeing a lot more clues—or even the device itself.Apple’s new Stage Manager multitasking feature is a confusing mess so far.I’ve been givingStage Managera spin for the last few days on macOS Ventura, and I think it’s a mess. Even the software’s purpose isn’t exactly clear. It essentially lets you place either one window or a few windows in the forefront of your workspace.

Investors not only need to have the ability to see around the corner but also need to do so before most people. However, to say this is hard is simply a truism. And a &#34;trick&#34; I find effective in analyzing nonlinear situations is to draw analogies from another nonlinear situation. I, of course, did not invent this trick. Others have discussed it in length, and books have been written about it. A recent one that I found very readable is David Epstein&#39;s bestseller entitled<i>&#34;Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World&#34;</i>. Highly recommended.</p><p>Now, the art of drawing analogies lies in the <i>range</i>(hence the title of Epstein&#39;s book). Drawing analogies from similar situations does not help too much. We need to draw analogies from situations with <i>range</i>. Citing an example from his book, if you try to analyze the new competing landscape amid M&amp;As in a dynamic market, analyzing &#34;similar&#34; M&amp;As won&#39;t be too helpful. Most likely, there are no &#34;similar&#34; prior examples. It is more helpful to draw analogies from a completely different domain, for example, the power struggle of countries during a dynamic time (say Europe during the 1500s and 1600s).</p><p>Now, back to TSLA. The thesis is to analyze the current situation between its battery production and the QWERTY keyboards. Despite (or thanks to) the wide range of these two examples, you will see the central argument is that due to the lack of standardization, the battery issue potentially creates a winner-take-all situation in EV space, just like the QWERTY keyboard did in the keyboard space. Note that the thesis is not to argue if such potential is good or bad. Whether the dominance of the QWERTY keyboard is good or bad depends on your perspective and historical context. The thesis is just that there is such a potential and TSLA is one of the main contenders, thus creating an investment opportunity with enormous upside.</p><p><b>QWERTY Keyboard and EV Battery</b></p><p>A bit of background on the QWERTY keyboard first - in the off chance that some readers never paid attention to its history. The QWERTY design was designed for typewriters and became popular in 1878. It has remained in ubiquitous use since then. Before it became popular, there was a multitude of contemporary alternatives. But once it did, it dominated and became the <i>only</i> one left.</p><p>Now, back again to TSLA and batteries. A few key similarities here. First, the battery issue now, just like the keyboard design in the 1870s, lacks standardization and there is a multitude of alternative designs. TSLA itself has used and is still using multiple cell designs (18650, 2170, and more recently 4680), and it is unlikely that the EV industry will reach a standardization agreement anytime soon.</p><p>Second, the battery issue is crucial to the EV industry, just like the keyboard design is to the typewriter industry. We will elaborate more on the importance later.</p><p>Third, the winner does not have to be the &#34;best&#34; design, just like in the typewriter case. Many readers try to analyze the technical superiority of battery design A vs B. But the matter of fact is that in a highly nonlinear and dynamic market, many factors besides technical superiority contribute and convolute. Furthermore, once dominance is established, it sticks. The QWERTY keyboard in a sense is the least efficient design for modern computers, but this does not stop it from being <i>the</i> standard keyboard today when jamming the keys is a concern at all.</p><p><b>TSLA&#39;s Battery Plan</b></p><p>Let&#39;s discuss the crucial role of the battery issue in the EV industry. Simply put, it is <i>the</i> bottleneck issue. In my view, our EV problem equals a battery problem. TSLA (and other EV players too) recognized the issue a long time ago. For example, back in its 2020 Battery Day presentation, TSLA announced a battery plan to improve design, build its own cells, and better integrate the cells into the vehicle.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff981e3a652331155c7f5886da20e486\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"312\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TSLA Investor Presentation</p><p>Fast-forward to 2022, TSLA celebrated its one-millionth 4680 cell production earlier in the year, as you can see from the following Twitter message sent out by Elon Musk. It&#39;s a baby step, admittedly. Each Model Y needs about 1k of these cells. So 1 million 4680 cells are only enough for about 1,000 Model Ys. But it is a good start. Because the next steps can be so nonlinear that a small step can create far-fetching ripple effects, as discussed next.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94210d04b6183bf77eef16f988b8f857\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"557\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TSLA Official Twitter</p><p><b>Nonlinear Effects of Battery</b></p><p>First, some technical background. Compared to the earlier 2170 cells, each 4680 cell is about 5x large in volume and can, therefore, hold about 5x the energy of each 2170 cell. Regarding the 4680 cells, a common comment from readers to my other battery article involves a zero-sum counter-argument. Since each 4680 cell is 5x larger than 2170 cells in volume and only delivers 5x more energy, are they not the same? In terms of material cost, manufacturing cost, weight, et al?</p><p>My answer is no because of the second-order effects. Not all the components scale equally. For example, the weight of the steel casings is less in the 4680 which would allow greater amounts of active components (it has to do with the surface area/volume ratio, a detail best left for the comment section). Furthermore, 5x more energy means 5x fewer <i>numbers</i> of cells used per vehicle. When the number of cells decreases, the use of connectors, assemble difficulty, and logistics all decrease. In the end, the 4680 cells can deliver 6x the power (the distinction between energy and power is again best left for the comments) and boost the driving range by 16%.</p><p>Then there are even higher-order effects and non-technical effects (well, maybe still technical, just beyond the range of battery technicalities). For example, the in-house production of 4680 cells can lead to more streamlined battery-vehicle integration. Further down the road, battery-software integration would be the next logical step toward driving range optimization and even autonomous driving.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31b141b337b16ad62a5734d606f84b89\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"346\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TSLA Investor Presentation</p><p><b>Final Thoughts and Risks</b></p><p>In my view, our EV problem is a battery problem.

Investors not only need to have the ability to see around the corner but also need to do so before most people. However, to say this is hard is simply a truism. And a \"trick\" I find effective in analyzing nonlinear situations is to draw analogies from another nonlinear situation. I, of course, did not invent this trick. Others have discussed it in length, and books have been written about it. A recent one that I found very readable is David Epstein's bestseller entitled\"Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World\". Highly recommended.Now, the art of drawing analogies lies in the range(hence the title of Epstein's book). Drawing analogies from similar situations does not help too much. We need to draw analogies from situations with range. Citing an example from his book, if you try to analyze the new competing landscape amid M&As in a dynamic market, analyzing \"similar\" M&As won't be too helpful. Most likely, there are no \"similar\" prior examples. It is more helpful to draw analogies from a completely different domain, for example, the power struggle of countries during a dynamic time (say Europe during the 1500s and 1600s).Now, back to TSLA. The thesis is to analyze the current situation between its battery production and the QWERTY keyboards. Despite (or thanks to) the wide range of these two examples, you will see the central argument is that due to the lack of standardization, the battery issue potentially creates a winner-take-all situation in EV space, just like the QWERTY keyboard did in the keyboard space. Note that the thesis is not to argue if such potential is good or bad. Whether the dominance of the QWERTY keyboard is good or bad depends on your perspective and historical context. The thesis is just that there is such a potential and TSLA is one of the main contenders, thus creating an investment opportunity with enormous upside.QWERTY Keyboard and EV BatteryA bit of background on the QWERTY keyboard first - in the off chance that some readers never paid attention to its history. The QWERTY design was designed for typewriters and became popular in 1878. It has remained in ubiquitous use since then. Before it became popular, there was a multitude of contemporary alternatives. But once it did, it dominated and became the only one left.Now, back again to TSLA and batteries. A few key similarities here. First, the battery issue now, just like the keyboard design in the 1870s, lacks standardization and there is a multitude of alternative designs. TSLA itself has used and is still using multiple cell designs (18650, 2170, and more recently 4680), and it is unlikely that the EV industry will reach a standardization agreement anytime soon.Second, the battery issue is crucial to the EV industry, just like the keyboard design is to the typewriter industry. We will elaborate more on the importance later.Third, the winner does not have to be the \"best\" design, just like in the typewriter case. Many readers try to analyze the technical superiority of battery design A vs B. But the matter of fact is that in a highly nonlinear and dynamic market, many factors besides technical superiority contribute and convolute. Furthermore, once dominance is established, it sticks. The QWERTY keyboard in a sense is the least efficient design for modern computers, but this does not stop it from being the standard keyboard today when jamming the keys is a concern at all.TSLA's Battery PlanLet's discuss the crucial role of the battery issue in the EV industry. Simply put, it is the bottleneck issue. In my view, our EV problem equals a battery problem. TSLA (and other EV players too) recognized the issue a long time ago. For example, back in its 2020 Battery Day presentation, TSLA announced a battery plan to improve design, build its own cells, and better integrate the cells into the vehicle.TSLA Investor PresentationFast-forward to 2022, TSLA celebrated its one-millionth 4680 cell production earlier in the year, as you can see from the following Twitter message sent out by Elon Musk. It's a baby step, admittedly. Each Model Y needs about 1k of these cells. So 1 million 4680 cells are only enough for about 1,000 Model Ys. But it is a good start. Because the next steps can be so nonlinear that a small step can create far-fetching ripple effects, as discussed next.TSLA Official TwitterNonlinear Effects of BatteryFirst, some technical background. Compared to the earlier 2170 cells, each 4680 cell is about 5x large in volume and can, therefore, hold about 5x the energy of each 2170 cell. Regarding the 4680 cells, a common comment from readers to my other battery article involves a zero-sum counter-argument. Since each 4680 cell is 5x larger than 2170 cells in volume and only delivers 5x more energy, are they not the same? In terms of material cost, manufacturing cost, weight, et al?My answer is no because of the second-order effects. Not all the components scale equally. For example, the weight of the steel casings is less in the 4680 which would allow greater amounts of active components (it has to do with the surface area/volume ratio, a detail best left for the comment section). Furthermore, 5x more energy means 5x fewer numbers of cells used per vehicle. When the number of cells decreases, the use of connectors, assemble difficulty, and logistics all decrease. In the end, the 4680 cells can deliver 6x the power (the distinction between energy and power is again best left for the comments) and boost the driving range by 16%.Then there are even higher-order effects and non-technical effects (well, maybe still technical, just beyond the range of battery technicalities). For example, the in-house production of 4680 cells can lead to more streamlined battery-vehicle integration. Further down the road, battery-software integration would be the next logical step toward driving range optimization and even autonomous driving.TSLA Investor PresentationFinal Thoughts and RisksIn my view, our EV problem is a battery problem. And the battery problem has the potential to create a win-take-all situation in the EV space, just like the QWERTY keyboard did for typewriters. These two situations share many similarities: notably the lack of standardization and the convolution of many non-technical factors. TSLA's in-house production of the 4680 cells is admittedly a small step on the battery front. But it creates the potential to trigger other high-order effects. I view it as a bullish catalyst, and it puts TSLA in a more advantageous position as a contender.TSLA faces many risks, both in terms of its batteries and beyond.It is currently facing supply chain constraints and rising costs (especially on raw materials and electronics for batteries). As a result, it has just announced significant increases of the prices of EVs with some models going up by as much as $6,000. Whether these price increases can work out successfully or not remains to be seen.Economies-of-scale is a limiting factor to reduce battery costs, and TSLA's 4680 cells have not reached this critical scale yet (far away from it). The earlier 18650 cells, for example, have taken billions of units produced to make them economically attractive to a wide range of producers and end-users.TSLA's vertical integration plan in the battery space also faces uncertainties and competition.

The stock, which Buffett has been accumulating since February, has risen 85% year-to-date. Buffett&#39;s more recent OXY buys were above the current price, but given when he started buying, he probably enjoyed 50%+ gains on his earlier purchases. For Buffett, that&#39;s not a positive, since he likes to accumulate cheap, but it will probably be seen as a positive by many<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (BRK.B) (BRK.A) shareholders, who presumably want to see stock prices rise.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36624dec9fb10d4ac4ac563baba3547f\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"899\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Buffett&#39;s OXY buys (Google Finance)</p><p>Buffett&#39;s gains on oil and gas stocks this year have been well-publicized. In addition to the recent OXY buys, he also bought enough <b>Chevron</b> (CVX) to make it his fourth-biggest holding. That Buffett has made gains on these stocks is not in doubt: everybody knows that oil stocks are doing well this year.</p><p>The more controversial matter is whether Occidental Petroleum is still a buy. Unlike the giant Chevron, Occidental is not a household name. With a mere $54 billion market cap, it is a bit player compared to the oil and gas titans. This means that making an informed investment in Occidental Petroleum takes more due diligence than does an investment in Chevron, as you do not have ready access to as much &#34;Scuttlebutt&#34; in OXY&#39;s case. With a company like Chevron, you can get regular clues as to the company&#39;s performance just by going outdoors and checking out Texaco prices and traffic levels. OXY&#39;s operations are not quite as visible in the world, and therefore its success is less obvious.</p><p>Nevertheless, OXY is in fact succeeding. Its revenue, earnings and cash flows are up dramatically this year, and its balance sheet is in OK shape too. With a 4.44 ratio of price to operating cash flow, the stock is cheap even if we assume that oil prices decline. Finally, it has a smaller market cap than some of the big energy names out there, giving it more room for multiple expansion. On the whole, the company&#39;s future appears bright, and Buffett&#39;s investment in it is just one vote of confidence among many.</p><h2>OXY&#39;s Operations</h2><p>To understand why Occidental Petroleum is so well-positioned right now, you need to understand its operations. OXY has three main business units:</p><ul><li><p>Oil and gas.</p></li><li><p>Midstream.</p></li><li><p>Chemicals.</p></li></ul><p>The oil and gas business is the one that benefits the most directly from the rising crude prices we&#39;re seeing this year. This is the business unit that sells the crude oil OXY extracts. When oil prices rise, OXY&#39;s revenue rises, and its profit margins widen. According to CEO Vicki Holub, OXY breaks even at $40 oil (WTI Crude). So, oil prices can fall considerably and the company&#39;s oil and gas business will still be profitable.</p><p>Next up we have midstream. This business mainly ships Occidental&#39;s own products to buyers, which helps the company save money. OXY also has a partially-owned midstream subsidiary, Western Midstream (WES), which transports oil and gas for other companies in exchange for fees. However, that business is in the process of being spun off. The midstream segment lost $50 million in the most recent quarter, although the equity income in WES was $159 million. On the whole, midstream is not OXY&#39;s most profitable business unit, but it helps the company avoid paying for third-party midstream services.</p><p>Last but not least, we have chemicals. This segment produces industrial chemicals like chlorine, vinyl, sodium silicate, potassium carbonate, and others. This segment is profitable, with $671 million in earnings in the most recent quarter.</p><p>OXY&#39;s business mix gives it some durable competitive advantages. The fact that it can transport its own oil and gas lets it capture operational efficiencies, and the chemicals business adds an additional revenue stream on top of its thriving oil and gas business. Compared to, say, a pure-play midstream company, Occidental Petroleum has significant operational diversification.</p><h2>Financials and Valuation</h2><p>Speaking of OXY&#39;s businesses, we can now get into their financials.</p><p>In the most recent quarter, OXY delivered:</p><ul><li><p>$8.5 billion in total revenue.</p></li><li><p>$4.67 billion in net income, up from the prior-year quarter&#39;s loss.</p></li><li><p>$4.65 in EPS, also up from a loss.</p></li><li><p>$3.2 billion in operating cash flow, up 311%.</p></li></ul><p>From these figures, we get a 54.9% net margin and a 37% cash flow margin - indicating solid profitability. The trailing 12-month figures also show solid growth and profitability, but to a lesser extent, because 2021 wasn&#39;t as strong as 2022 has been so far.</p><p>Having looked at OXY&#39;s recent earnings, we can now turn to its balance sheet. Occidental Petroleum&#39;s balance sheet is, like those of many oil companies, pristine, boasting metrics like:</p><ul><li><p>$74.2 billion in assets.</p></li><li><p>$49.3 billion in liabilities.</p></li><li><p>$24.9 billion in equity.</p></li><li><p>$10 billion in current assets.</p></li><li><p>$8.7 billion in current liabilities.</p></li><li><p>$25.6 billion in long-term debt.</p></li></ul><p>From these balance sheet metrics, we get a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02 and a current ratio of 1.14. These suggest decent liquidity and solvency. The balance sheet is probably the weakest part of the picture for OXY - long-term debt in excess of equity isn&#39;t great, but OXY can use its enormous profits this year to pay down its debt. So, interest expenses should go down, and solvency should improve.</p><p>Now, let&#39;s look at OXY&#39;s valuation. Based on today&#39;s stock price and trailing 12-month financials, we get the following multiples:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E - 12.6.</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E - 9.</p></li><li><p>Price/sales - 1.95.</p></li><li><p>Price/book - 2.5.</p></li><li><p>Price/cash flow - 4.44.</p></li></ul><p>These are all rock bottom multiples. Even if you slashed OXY&#39;s operating cash flows in half, they&#39;d still only give a single-digit multiple at today&#39;s prices. Of course, if oil prices fell enough, then OXY&#39;s cash flows could fall by more than half. That&#39;s most likely what has some people unconvinced by OXY stock. In the next section, I&#39;ll explore the matter of oil prices, and what they mean for Occidental Petroleum.</p><h2>Oil Prices</h2><p>Oil prices have been responsible for much of Occidental Petroleum&#39;s gains this year. Buffett himself called OXY a &#34;bet on oil prices,&#34; so naturally, prices are a big part of the bull thesis.</p><p>At the time of this writing (Tuesday afternoon), oil prices were trending downward. Crude oil had dipped below $100 for the first time in many months, and OXY stock had fallen right alongside it.</p><p>It&#39;s only natural for oil stocks to correlate with the price of oil. After all, the higher prices go, the more money oil companies make. In a past article, I wrote that oil prices are likely to be pretty strong all year long. I still believe that, but there&#39;s more to the story. Oil companies have a certain oil price they need to clear to make money; beyond that point, costs and production can influence profitability quite a bit. In OXY&#39;s case, the breakeven oil price is $40 - few experts think we&#39;ll go that low any time soon.</p><p>Furthermore, OXY stock remains cheap even if we assume prices go much lower than they are now. In the fourth quarter of 2021, WTI oil prices averaged about $75. In that quarter, Occidental Petroleum did $1.37 in EPS. Let&#39;s assume that, tomorrow, oil prices crash to $75, and OXY only does $1.37 in EPS per quarter for the next 12-month period. That works out to $5.48 over 12 months. At today&#39;s stock price of $57.69, that gives us a P/E ratio of just 10.52. So, OXY is still cheap by at least one metric even if oil prices fall to 2021 levels!</p><h2>Risks and Challenges</h2><p>As we&#39;ve seen, Occidental Petroleum is a very cheap oil stock that will remain cheap even if oil prices fall to $75. That&#39;s not even factoring in the possibility of oil prices rising again after the strategic petroleum release ends. There are certainly many things pointing toward OXY having a strong year. However, there are risks and challenges to keep in mind, as well. They include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Debt.</b> One thing that&#39;s not as attractive with OXY as with other oil stocks is its debt level. At $25.6 billion, it&#39;s currently higher than total shareholder equity. A debt-to-equity ratio of exactly one isn&#39;t terrible, but it&#39;s not amazing either. $25 billion in debt produces a lot of interest expenses, $371 million worth per quarter, to be precise. In addition to having to clear a $40 oil price, OXY has to clear $371 million in interest before it can turn a profit. So, the debt could be a problem if the price of oil goes down.</p></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6ae4385b7a1d43a75100a8dc1353533\" tg-width=\"1124\" tg-height=\"614\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>OXY&#39;s enormous interest expenses (Occidental Petroleum)</p><ul><li><p><b>Interest rate hikes.</b> The Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates this year, hoping to get prices (especially oil prices) down.

The stock, which Buffett has been accumulating since February, has risen 85% year-to-date. Buffett's more recent OXY buys were above the current price, but given when he started buying, he probably enjoyed 50%+ gains on his earlier purchases. For Buffett, that's not a positive, since he likes to accumulate cheap, but it will probably be seen as a positive by manyBerkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) (BRK.A) shareholders, who presumably want to see stock prices rise.Buffett's OXY buys (Google Finance)Buffett's gains on oil and gas stocks this year have been well-publicized. In addition to the recent OXY buys, he also bought enough Chevron (CVX) to make it his fourth-biggest holding. That Buffett has made gains on these stocks is not in doubt: everybody knows that oil stocks are doing well this year.The more controversial matter is whether Occidental Petroleum is still a buy. Unlike the giant Chevron, Occidental is not a household name. With a mere $54 billion market cap, it is a bit player compared to the oil and gas titans. This means that making an informed investment in Occidental Petroleum takes more due diligence than does an investment in Chevron, as you do not have ready access to as much \"Scuttlebutt\" in OXY's case. With a company like Chevron, you can get regular clues as to the company's performance just by going outdoors and checking out Texaco prices and traffic levels. OXY's operations are not quite as visible in the world, and therefore its success is less obvious.Nevertheless, OXY is in fact succeeding. Its revenue, earnings and cash flows are up dramatically this year, and its balance sheet is in OK shape too. With a 4.44 ratio of price to operating cash flow, the stock is cheap even if we assume that oil prices decline. Finally, it has a smaller market cap than some of the big energy names out there, giving it more room for multiple expansion. On the whole, the company's future appears bright, and Buffett's investment in it is just one vote of confidence among many.OXY's OperationsTo understand why Occidental Petroleum is so well-positioned right now, you need to understand its operations. OXY has three main business units:Oil and gas.Midstream.Chemicals.The oil and gas business is the one that benefits the most directly from the rising crude prices we're seeing this year. This is the business unit that sells the crude oil OXY extracts. When oil prices rise, OXY's revenue rises, and its profit margins widen. According to CEO Vicki Holub, OXY breaks even at $40 oil (WTI Crude). So, oil prices can fall considerably and the company's oil and gas business will still be profitable.Next up we have midstream. This business mainly ships Occidental's own products to buyers, which helps the company save money. OXY also has a partially-owned midstream subsidiary, Western Midstream (WES), which transports oil and gas for other companies in exchange for fees. However, that business is in the process of being spun off. The midstream segment lost $50 million in the most recent quarter, although the equity income in WES was $159 million. On the whole, midstream is not OXY's most profitable business unit, but it helps the company avoid paying for third-party midstream services.Last but not least, we have chemicals. This segment produces industrial chemicals like chlorine, vinyl, sodium silicate, potassium carbonate, and others. This segment is profitable, with $671 million in earnings in the most recent quarter.OXY's business mix gives it some durable competitive advantages. The fact that it can transport its own oil and gas lets it capture operational efficiencies, and the chemicals business adds an additional revenue stream on top of its thriving oil and gas business. Compared to, say, a pure-play midstream company, Occidental Petroleum has significant operational diversification.Financials and ValuationSpeaking of OXY's businesses, we can now get into their financials.In the most recent quarter, OXY delivered:$8.5 billion in total revenue.$4.67 billion in net income, up from the prior-year quarter's loss.$4.65 in EPS, also up from a loss.$3.2 billion in operating cash flow, up 311%.From these figures, we get a 54.9% net margin and a 37% cash flow margin - indicating solid profitability. The trailing 12-month figures also show solid growth and profitability, but to a lesser extent, because 2021 wasn't as strong as 2022 has been so far.Having looked at OXY's recent earnings, we can now turn to its balance sheet. Occidental Petroleum's balance sheet is, like those of many oil companies, pristine, boasting metrics like:$74.2 billion in assets.$49.3 billion in liabilities.$24.9 billion in equity.$10 billion in current assets.$8.7 billion in current liabilities.$25.6 billion in long-term debt.From these balance sheet metrics, we get a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02 and a current ratio of 1.14. These suggest decent liquidity and solvency. The balance sheet is probably the weakest part of the picture for OXY - long-term debt in excess of equity isn't great, but OXY can use its enormous profits this year to pay down its debt. So, interest expenses should go down, and solvency should improve.Now, let's look at OXY's valuation. Based on today's stock price and trailing 12-month financials, we get the following multiples:Adjusted P/E - 12.6.GAAP P/E - 9.Price/sales - 1.95.Price/book - 2.5.Price/cash flow - 4.44.These are all rock bottom multiples. Even if you slashed OXY's operating cash flows in half, they'd still only give a single-digit multiple at today's prices. Of course, if oil prices fell enough, then OXY's cash flows could fall by more than half. That's most likely what has some people unconvinced by OXY stock. In the next section, I'll explore the matter of oil prices, and what they mean for Occidental Petroleum.Oil PricesOil prices have been responsible for much of Occidental Petroleum's gains this year. Buffett himself called OXY a \"bet on oil prices,\" so naturally, prices are a big part of the bull thesis.At the time of this writing (Tuesday afternoon), oil prices were trending downward. Crude oil had dipped below $100 for the first time in many months, and OXY stock had fallen right alongside it.It's only natural for oil stocks to correlate with the price of oil. After all, the higher prices go, the more money oil companies make. In a past article, I wrote that oil prices are likely to be pretty strong all year long. I still believe that, but there's more to the story. Oil companies have a certain oil price they need to clear to make money; beyond that point, costs and production can influence profitability quite a bit. In OXY's case, the breakeven oil price is $40 - few experts think we'll go that low any time soon.Furthermore, OXY stock remains cheap even if we assume prices go much lower than they are now. In the fourth quarter of 2021, WTI oil prices averaged about $75. In that quarter, Occidental Petroleum did $1.37 in EPS. Let's assume that, tomorrow, oil prices crash to $75, and OXY only does $1.37 in EPS per quarter for the next 12-month period. That works out to $5.48 over 12 months. At today's stock price of $57.69, that gives us a P/E ratio of just 10.52. So, OXY is still cheap by at least one metric even if oil prices fall to 2021 levels!Risks and ChallengesAs we've seen, Occidental Petroleum is a very cheap oil stock that will remain cheap even if oil prices fall to $75. That's not even factoring in the possibility of oil prices rising again after the strategic petroleum release ends. There are certainly many things pointing toward OXY having a strong year. However, there are risks and challenges to keep in mind, as well. They include:Debt. One thing that's not as attractive with OXY as with other oil stocks is its debt level. At $25.6 billion, it's currently higher than total shareholder equity. A debt-to-equity ratio of exactly one isn't terrible, but it's not amazing either. $25 billion in debt produces a lot of interest expenses, $371 million worth per quarter, to be precise. In addition to having to clear a $40 oil price, OXY has to clear $371 million in interest before it can turn a profit. So, the debt could be a problem if the price of oil goes down.OXY's enormous interest expenses (Occidental Petroleum)Interest rate hikes. The Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates this year, hoping to get prices (especially oil prices) down. Inflation is a big concern these days, and the central banks are trying really hard to combat it. The higher interest rates go, the more expensive it is to borrow. That can lead to people spending less money on things like gasoline. So, the Fed's interest rate hikes may take a bite out of oil prices this year. If they do, then OXY shares could go down, since the stock is highly correlated with oil prices.The risks above are very real. If the Fed hikes interest rates enough to crater OXY's earnings, then it could lead to issues with servicing the debt. However, there are enough reasons to think that oil will stay strong this year, too. The SPR release will end, and OPEC is running out of spare capacity. These two factors alone suggest that oil prices will be strong over the long term. So, there's reason for optimism toward Occidental Petroleum, the latest big winner in Warren Buffett's portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041033917,"gmtCreate":1655976790439,"gmtModify":1676535743869,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward to see how this pans out","listText":"Looking forward to see how this pans out","text":"Looking forward to see how this pans out","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041033917","repostId":"1175923891","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1175923891","pubTimestamp":1655975533,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175923891?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-23 17:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NBCUniversal, Google Compete to Help Netflix Build Ad-Backed Tier","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175923891","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal and Alphabet Inc.’s Google have emerged as top contenders to work with ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal and Alphabet Inc.’s Google have emerged as top contenders to work with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFLX\">Netflix Inc.</a> and help the streaming company create an advertising-supported tier of its service, according to people familiar with the matter.</p><p>Netflix, which is hoping to boost revenue by selling ads around its programming, is still in the early stages of developing the strategy and has explored a range of tie-ups in recent weeks.</p><p>A partnership with NBCUniversal would likely be exclusive, the people familiar with the matter said.

DoubleVerify, a firm that helps advertisers measure how campaigns performed, also has talked to Netflix, a person familiar with the situation said.Ad-industry executives who have had discussions with Netflix say the company hasn’t provided details of its plans, such as how many ads the company will run for each hour of programming and whether the company aims to offer targeted, personalized ads or mainly focus on the potential for advertisers to reach its user base of 222 million paying subscribers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9043951278,"gmtCreate":1655864029894,"gmtModify":1676535721428,"author":{"id":"3574896017212818","authorId":"3574896017212818","name":"ETT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec8ef2cc13fa8957c6da35b32521924a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The eccentricity of Elon Musk doesn'tprovide any positive sentiment towards the management of this company at all","listText":"The eccentricity of Elon Musk doesn'tprovide any positive sentiment towards the management of this company at all","text":"The eccentricity of Elon Musk doesn'tprovide any positive sentiment towards the management of this company at all","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043951278","repostId":"1188222662","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188222662","pubTimestamp":1655857059,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188222662?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-22 08:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"TSLA Stock Treks Higher as Tesla Faces Mass Layoffs Lawsuit","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188222662","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Tesla(TSLA) is being sued by a group of former employees.The workers claim that the company laid the","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Tesla</b>(<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) is being sued by a group of former employees.</li><li>The workers claim that the company laid them off with no advance notice.</li><li>TSLA stock is rising, but this news doesn&#39;t bode well for it.</li></ul><p><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) is facing another employee lawsuit.
