Although the stock has dropped from that level, it remains up about 800% this year.</p><p>If you haven't benefited from this year's astounding rise, you may feel like you've missed out. But there are good reasons you should hold off right now.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621884%2Fgettyimages-157672090.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"429\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Losing to digital</h2><p>GameStop sells video hardware and games. While it was doing well for a long time, online competition and digital downloads from the likes of Epic Games, Steam, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Sony</b>&nbsp;have eaten into the retailer's sales.</p><p>In fact, in four out of the last five years, GameStop's same-store sales (comps) fell. This includes a 19.4% drop in fiscal 2019. This period ended on Feb. 1, 2020, before the pandemic took hold and dramatically altered people's lives and business activity.</p><p>Last year, comps dropped by 9.5%. These results didn't measure up, even given the pandemic, and CEO George Sherman forfeited previously granted performance shares.</p><p>GameStop faced a tough road to reverse this slide and compete with digital offerings. But an investment offered GameStop shareholders some hope that better days were ahead.</p><h2>A major investor enters</h2><p>RC Ventures, led by Ryan Cohen, who founded the successful online company <b>Chewy</b>, made a major investment in GameStop last year.</p><p>With about a 13% stake, RC Ventures has set about to make some changes. This includes Cohen, who took a board seat along with two others in January, recently stepping up as chairman. The company also announced that George Sherman, chief executive officer, was stepping down in July, or possibly earlier if his replacement is found.</p><p>With Cohen's experience, plus his push to hire executives with e-commerce experience from places like Chewy and <b>Amazon</b>, Cohen will attempt to move GameStop further into digital offerings.</p><h2>Hit the pause button</h2><p>GameStop, which has been cleaning up its balance sheet, recently announced that it would pay down debt.

Although the stock has dropped from that level, it remains up about 800% this year.If you haven't benefited from this year's astounding rise, you may feel like you've missed out. But there are good reasons you should hold off right now.Image source: Getty Images.Losing to digitalGameStop sells video hardware and games. While it was doing well for a long time, online competition and digital downloads from the likes of Epic Games, Steam, Microsoft, and Sony have eaten into the retailer's sales.In fact, in four out of the last five years, GameStop's same-store sales (comps) fell. This includes a 19.4% drop in fiscal 2019. This period ended on Feb. 1, 2020, before the pandemic took hold and dramatically altered people's lives and business activity.Last year, comps dropped by 9.5%. These results didn't measure up, even given the pandemic, and CEO George Sherman forfeited previously granted performance shares.GameStop faced a tough road to reverse this slide and compete with digital offerings. But an investment offered GameStop shareholders some hope that better days were ahead.A major investor entersRC Ventures, led by Ryan Cohen, who founded the successful online company Chewy, made a major investment in GameStop last year.With about a 13% stake, RC Ventures has set about to make some changes. This includes Cohen, who took a board seat along with two others in January, recently stepping up as chairman. The company also announced that George Sherman, chief executive officer, was stepping down in July, or possibly earlier if his replacement is found.With Cohen's experience, plus his push to hire executives with e-commerce experience from places like Chewy and Amazon, Cohen will attempt to move GameStop further into digital offerings.Hit the pause buttonGameStop, which has been cleaning up its balance sheet, recently announced that it would pay down debt. It plans to repay the $216 million senior notes, ridding itself of long-term debt. This gives the company some breathing room to execute its plan.Cohen is hiring the management team, but it has provided few details on a turnaround plan. While he certainly has e-commerce credentials, and his track record is impressive, it is hard to take a leap of faith right now. There are formidable competitors in the digital download arena, making it tough for GameStop to compete. This means winning the battle will not come easy.There a couple of things that need to happen before you invest your money. First, you need to hear details on the plan. But I wouldn't stop there. It is important to see how management is executing its strategy and how its actions flow to the top and bottom lines.While GameStop's fourth-quarter comps rose by 6.5%, this was largely due to new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This also helped first-quarter sales get off to a good start, with February's comps increasing by 23%. Therefore, it is important to see how the company's software sales, which GameStop breaks out separately, are doing. With fierce online competition, this isn't easy sledding.Until you see this improving, it's best to sit on the sidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371264141,"gmtCreate":1618947577883,"gmtModify":1704717299181,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Micron","listText":"Micron","text":"Micron","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371264141","repostId":"2128846612","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371264908,"gmtCreate":1618947528304,"gmtModify":1704717299345,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ape

tg-height=\"512\"><span>Photo by alexsl/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>After having trended together for the most part of the year, the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF's (ARKF) share price performance has been dwarfed by bitcoin's relentless upside at 1000%.</p>\n<p>When explaining the reasons for this difference in performance, some tend to mix up blockchain and bitcoin, resulting in inconsistent explanations.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 1: Difference between ARKQ's and bitcoin's performance.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f46334ebaf8bfa6d1a2a2148d3c3e52a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Thus, a rational analysis is needed, especially since we are talking about Cathie Wood's fund, sometimes synonymous with hype.</p>\n<p>I start by peeling off ARKF, with the intent of providing investors with insights as to the holdings.</p>\n<p><b>The holdings</b></p>\n<p>First, for the sake of precision, blockchain is a software program and one of its applications enables the creation of bitcoin. By being exposed to both, ARKF's holdings provide tremendous opportunities to benefit from disruption in digital payment and value appreciation of the digital asset class.</p>\n<p>Going into details, there is Square(NYSE:SQ)which owns 8,027 bitcoins in total as part of its balance sheet, amassed through three successive buy transactions. The first one of these was in October when the cryptocurrency was valued at about $12K each, compared to $57K today, up by&nbsp;375%. In addition, Square is exhibiting one of Cathie's favorite criteria: sustained ultra-high growth. The company is growing revenues at 140%, up from 40%, just three quarters before.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 2: Square's top six holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5124ae65d724c8982e3e08f2144a16fc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"105\"><span>Source: ark-funds.com</span></p>\n<p>Keeping bitcoins as a means to shore up the balance sheet is just one side of the story as there is much more when taking into consideration that, permitting for faster transactions and cheaper costs, blockchain has now become the bedrock of FinTechs, like PayPal Holdings (PYPL).</p>\n<p>The latter symbolizes the transition from the days when financial technology companies using blockchain had mostly startup status, to subsequently becoming mainstream. PayPal not only offers the ability to trade cryptos and own digital wallets through its platform since October 2020, but it also has a well-thought strategy to revolutionize the way digital payments are done.</p>\n<p>In this respect, its latest move to acquire Curv, a provider of cloud-based infrastructure for digital asset security, shows the company's intent in providing compliant services. Now, compliance has been the Achilles' heel (weak spot) of the crypto space with some accusing the currency of being used for money laundering. Also,news&nbsp;about proposals to ban bitcoin in some countries have surfaced.</p>\n<p>However, to counteract pessimism, having the giant $275 billion FinTech to invest in blockchain and increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at all of its 26 million merchants worldwide is a giant step in wider adoption and instilling confidence in the minds of doubters.</p>\n<p>Looking deeper, PayPal has become the&nbsp;first&nbsp;company to get a conditional BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services in October and it should lead by example in showing that compliance with strict regulations can be achieved for the crypto space.</p>\n<p>Also, as a side note, the IRS has already taken an increasing interest in the cryptocurrency and issued guidelines for taxpayers since 2019.</p>\n<p>I now turn to ARKQ's other holdings.</p>\n<p><b>Crypto banking</b></p>\n<p>Bitcoin's sustained growth and adoption among large corporations would seem to support the idea that cryptocurrencies now offer a viable economic alternative, far from the last decade's craze for \"virtual currencies.\" Getting on board the most skeptical, who previously considered that its anonymity constituted a major factor facilitating usage as a currency for criminal transactions, has been made possible through the creation of crypto banks.</p>\n<p>One of these is Silvergate Capital (SI) which currently has about $5 billion in crypto-backed deposits. But the bank's biggest selling point for customers is its Silvergate Exchange Network, which lets clients transfer dollars to digital currency exchanges at any time. The cryptobank has overcome obstacles of traditional banking, limited by weekday working hours by enabling seamless transactions on a 24/7 basis, with transfers being instantaneous immediately after opening of a deposit account.</p>\n<p>The bank is up by 1900% during the last year, beating bitcoin's own performance in a demonstration that investors attach more importance to value-added services than the value of the digital asset itself.</p>\n<p>ARKF also holds Chinese Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY), the creator of WeChat Pay, a payment service for mobile transactions. The company is continuing to invest heavily in blockchain, cloud computing, AI and cybersecurity, amid more regulations by the Chinese authorities, in their attempt to curb on excesses.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 3: Key metrics of ARK's first six holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89e0446ae414070ceb93fb880d93f33a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Pursuing further, Zillow Group (Z) operates real estate and home-related information marketplaces on mobile and the Web, focusing on various stages of the home lifecycle, including renting, buying, selling, and financing. The company is synonymous with diversification, but there are others too.</p>\n<p>Diversified holdings</p>\n<p>As part of her diversification strategy, Cathie has aligned a large number of innovative plays who have brought disruption to their respective field of activities. These companies like Shopify (SHOP) and Twilio (TWLO) operating in the Internet Services and Infrastructure industry have been growing at CAGR rates exceeding&nbsp;60%&nbsp;for the last five years.</p>\n<p>However, they have high Price to Cash flow metrics and low profitability margins resulting in the one-month stock performance being depressed. It's all due to what some analysts have termed as \"the rotation from growth into value stocks,\" where investors tend to choose more profitable stocks with higher level of cash flows and lower P/E ratios.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 4: ARKF's subsequent holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0eaf6b5187096392242d489e76a61932\" tg-width=\"592\" tg-height=\"324\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>However, in addition to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), there are other stocks with more balanced growth vs. profitability metrics, also exhibiting higher cash flows relative to share price, such as Adyen N.V (OTCPK:ADYEY), the data processing and outsourcing play. These are just two names in ARKF's&nbsp;46&nbsp;holdings, as of March 19.</p>\n<p>Valuations and key takeaways</p>\n<p>While the outbreak of the pandemic caused investment budgets to be slashed in most industries due to uncertainty, this was not the case for the FinTech sector. However, with the re-opening of the economy mostly as a result of vaccinations, investors are likely to invest more into cyclicals, consumer discretionary and transportation stocks.</p>\n<p>However, the confidence in financial technology should remain at an elevated level.</p>\n<p>The reason is the accelerated pace of digitization which is continuing in every aspect of our personal and business lives as we get sucked up into secular trends constituted by eCommerce, mobile payment, remote working and online entertainment. Consequently, FinTechs that cater for this new paradigm should continue to see immense growth. As for the losers, the actively managed ARKF with an expense ratio of 0.79%, promptly takes measures either to disinvest or reduce exposure to the stock.</p>\n<p>Looking across the FinTech ETF space, there are other funds charging more or less the same fees, but ARKF's average daily traded volumes and performance metrics are strong positives.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 5: Comparing key metrics with peers.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d480b74c4e6c3584cdac192ed8252dea\" tg-width=\"448\" tg-height=\"272\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha and wsj.com</span></p>\n<p>Furthermore, at an average P/E ratio of 49-52, ARKF's valuation does not appear on the high side, especially considering the superior growth opportunity it offers. Looking at holdings, while Square and PayPal each have high trailing P/E Non-GAAP of 118 and 62 respectively, Apple's 32.5 and Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) 24.66 are at the lower end.</p>\n<p>Therefore, valuations vary widely across ARKF's portfolio, but its average P/E ratio together with peers are much higher than for the S&amp;P 500 at 14.85.</p>\n<p>Therefore, for those who strictly adhere to the value principle, ARKF is richly valued. However, for growth-focused investors, it remains a fact that the more specialized FinTech sector offers better growth and even margin expansion opportunity as the holdings get more matured.</p>\n<p>In this respect, the pace of investment in the industry should continue, aided by the need for technology-based solutions by banks, digital payment companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. There is a perpetual need for APIs (Application Program Interfaces) interacting with cloud-based infrastructures in the financial services industry to make access to services faster.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the fact that these companies make use of software in their core business processes makes them more agile at delivering low-cost personalized products using emerging technologies. Also, increasing the dose of blockchain as part of their solutions will lead to lower costs, more rapid customer adoption and higher profitability.</p>\n<p>In this context, companies like PayPal, Tencent and ICE show that the FinTech ecosystem is somewhat unique, where in addition to out-sized growth rates, companies can still be profitable with significant free cash flows. Also, as per my calculation, the average Debt to Equity ratio for the first twelve stocks is only 65.</p>\n<p>Now, the&nbsp;global FinTech market&nbsp;is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 20% from 2020 to 2025. Accordingly, based on the current stock price of $50-52 with the market growing at 20%, ARKF could see an upside to the $60-62 levels by the end of this year. This is an estimate but is realistically possible as ARKF has more strength than others within ARK's family. For this matter, amid the recent downside, it fell by only 14%, compared to 17-20% for others.</p>\n<p>Moreover, in addition to mobile banking and digital payments, FinTechs offer loan services to individuals and businesses, and these should see high volumes during the re-opening of the services sector.</p>\n<p>Hence, for those who are interested to form part of ARK's growth story, price momentum indicators point to a fall to the $50 level, induced by rotation-led volatility. This should constitute a buying opportunity.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>ARKF: More Upside Possible With Increasing Blockchain Usage</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;

By being exposed to both, ARKF's holdings provide tremendous opportunities to benefit from disruption in digital payment and value appreciation of the digital asset class.\nGoing into details, there is Square(NYSE:SQ)which owns 8,027 bitcoins in total as part of its balance sheet, amassed through three successive buy transactions. The first one of these was in October when the cryptocurrency was valued at about $12K each, compared to $57K today, up by 375%. In addition, Square is exhibiting one of Cathie's favorite criteria: sustained ultra-high growth. The company is growing revenues at 140%, up from 40%, just three quarters before.\nFigure 2: Square's top six holdings.\nSource: ark-funds.com\nKeeping bitcoins as a means to shore up the balance sheet is just one side of the story as there is much more when taking into consideration that, permitting for faster transactions and cheaper costs, blockchain has now become the bedrock of FinTechs, like PayPal Holdings (PYPL).\nThe latter symbolizes the transition from the days when financial technology companies using blockchain had mostly startup status, to subsequently becoming mainstream. PayPal not only offers the ability to trade cryptos and own digital wallets through its platform since October 2020, but it also has a well-thought strategy to revolutionize the way digital payments are done.\nIn this respect, its latest move to acquire Curv, a provider of cloud-based infrastructure for digital asset security, shows the company's intent in providing compliant services. Now, compliance has been the Achilles' heel (weak spot) of the crypto space with some accusing the currency of being used for money laundering. Also,news about proposals to ban bitcoin in some countries have surfaced.\nHowever, to counteract pessimism, having the giant $275 billion FinTech to invest in blockchain and increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at all of its 26 million merchants worldwide is a giant step in wider adoption and instilling confidence in the minds of doubters.\nLooking deeper, PayPal has become the first company to get a conditional BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services in October and it should lead by example in showing that compliance with strict regulations can be achieved for the crypto space.\nAlso, as a side note, the IRS has already taken an increasing interest in the cryptocurrency and issued guidelines for taxpayers since 2019.\nI now turn to ARKQ's other holdings.\nCrypto banking\nBitcoin's sustained growth and adoption among large corporations would seem to support the idea that cryptocurrencies now offer a viable economic alternative, far from the last decade's craze for \"virtual currencies.\" Getting on board the most skeptical, who previously considered that its anonymity constituted a major factor facilitating usage as a currency for criminal transactions, has been made possible through the creation of crypto banks.\nOne of these is Silvergate Capital (SI) which currently has about $5 billion in crypto-backed deposits. But the bank's biggest selling point for customers is its Silvergate Exchange Network, which lets clients transfer dollars to digital currency exchanges at any time. The cryptobank has overcome obstacles of traditional banking, limited by weekday working hours by enabling seamless transactions on a 24/7 basis, with transfers being instantaneous immediately after opening of a deposit account.\nThe bank is up by 1900% during the last year, beating bitcoin's own performance in a demonstration that investors attach more importance to value-added services than the value of the digital asset itself.\nARKF also holds Chinese Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY), the creator of WeChat Pay, a payment service for mobile transactions. The company is continuing to invest heavily in blockchain, cloud computing, AI and cybersecurity, amid more regulations by the Chinese authorities, in their attempt to curb on excesses.\nFigure 3: Key metrics of ARK's first six holdings.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nPursuing further, Zillow Group (Z) operates real estate and home-related information marketplaces on mobile and the Web, focusing on various stages of the home lifecycle, including renting, buying, selling, and financing. The company is synonymous with diversification, but there are others too.\nDiversified holdings\nAs part of her diversification strategy, Cathie has aligned a large number of innovative plays who have brought disruption to their respective field of activities. These companies like Shopify (SHOP) and Twilio (TWLO) operating in the Internet Services and Infrastructure industry have been growing at CAGR rates exceeding 60% for the last five years.\nHowever, they have high Price to Cash flow metrics and low profitability margins resulting in the one-month stock performance being depressed. It's all due to what some analysts have termed as \"the rotation from growth into value stocks,\" where investors tend to choose more profitable stocks with higher level of cash flows and lower P/E ratios.\nFigure 4: ARKF's subsequent holdings.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nHowever, in addition to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), there are other stocks with more balanced growth vs. profitability metrics, also exhibiting higher cash flows relative to share price, such as Adyen N.V (OTCPK:ADYEY), the data processing and outsourcing play. These are just two names in ARKF's 46 holdings, as of March 19.\nValuations and key takeaways\nWhile the outbreak of the pandemic caused investment budgets to be slashed in most industries due to uncertainty, this was not the case for the FinTech sector. However, with the re-opening of the economy mostly as a result of vaccinations, investors are likely to invest more into cyclicals, consumer discretionary and transportation stocks.\nHowever, the confidence in financial technology should remain at an elevated level.\nThe reason is the accelerated pace of digitization which is continuing in every aspect of our personal and business lives as we get sucked up into secular trends constituted by eCommerce, mobile payment, remote working and online entertainment. Consequently, FinTechs that cater for this new paradigm should continue to see immense growth. As for the losers, the actively managed ARKF with an expense ratio of 0.79%, promptly takes measures either to disinvest or reduce exposure to the stock.\nLooking across the FinTech ETF space, there are other funds charging more or less the same fees, but ARKF's average daily traded volumes and performance metrics are strong positives.\nFigure 5: Comparing key metrics with peers.\nSource: Seeking Alpha and wsj.com\nFurthermore, at an average P/E ratio of 49-52, ARKF's valuation does not appear on the high side, especially considering the superior growth opportunity it offers. Looking at holdings, while Square and PayPal each have high trailing P/E Non-GAAP of 118 and 62 respectively, Apple's 32.5 and Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) 24.66 are at the lower end.\nTherefore, valuations vary widely across ARKF's portfolio, but its average P/E ratio together with peers are much higher than for the S&P 500 at 14.85.\nTherefore, for those who strictly adhere to the value principle, ARKF is richly valued. However, for growth-focused investors, it remains a fact that the more specialized FinTech sector offers better growth and even margin expansion opportunity as the holdings get more matured.\nIn this respect, the pace of investment in the industry should continue, aided by the need for technology-based solutions by banks, digital payment companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. There is a perpetual need for APIs (Application Program Interfaces) interacting with cloud-based infrastructures in the financial services industry to make access to services faster.\nFurthermore, the fact that these companies make use of software in their core business processes makes them more agile at delivering low-cost personalized products using emerging technologies. Also, increasing the dose of blockchain as part of their solutions will lead to lower costs, more rapid customer adoption and higher profitability.\nIn this context, companies like PayPal, Tencent and ICE show that the FinTech ecosystem is somewhat unique, where in addition to out-sized growth rates, companies can still be profitable with significant free cash flows. Also, as per my calculation, the average Debt to Equity ratio for the first twelve stocks is only 65.\nNow, the global FinTech market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 20% from 2020 to 2025. Accordingly, based on the current stock price of $50-52 with the market growing at 20%, ARKF could see an upside to the $60-62 levels by the end of this year. This is an estimate but is realistically possible as ARKF has more strength than others within ARK's family. For this matter, amid the recent downside, it fell by only 14%, compared to 17-20% for others.\nMoreover, in addition to mobile banking and digital payments, FinTechs offer loan services to individuals and businesses, and these should see high volumes during the re-opening of the services sector.\nHence, for those who are interested to form part of ARK's growth story, price momentum indicators point to a fall to the $50 level, induced by rotation-led volatility. This should constitute a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359675098,"gmtCreate":1616399890014,"gmtModify":1704793496036,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up up up","listText":"Up up up","text":"Up up up","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ec0810022541a208ff37b44e8c7643b","width":"1080","height":"2071"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359675098","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350956258,"gmtCreate":1616153486274,"gmtModify":1704791600883,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme to the moon","listText":"Gme to the moon","text":"Gme to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350956258","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143733672","pubTimestamp":1616152692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143733672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143733672","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's a GameStop world.

way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350956949,"gmtCreate":1616153438981,"gmtModify":1704791601205,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Mamacathie","listText":"Mamacathie","text":"Mamacathie","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350956949","repostId":"1197074607","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":356138828,"gmtCreate":1616762879264,"gmtModify":1704798531339,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Mooon","listText":"Mooon","text":"Mooon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/356138828","repostId":"2122230447","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":516,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891120020,"gmtCreate":1628351135760,"gmtModify":1703505339114,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

This year we have the epic story we call&nbsp;<b>GameStop</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>). GME stock exploded 2300% out of nowhere late January. Since then it continues to be a wild ride.</p>\n<p>Today we evaluate the viability of chasing this beast going forward. Spoiler alert, the price action suggests more fireworks soon.</p>\n<p>On the face of it, it looked like a massive short squeeze. In reality, this is a battle between retail investors and Wall Street. Up until now, the insiders in the investment community had the upper hand. They control the rules so they are able to twist them to give themselves advantages. The retail investors have to live with those disadvantages and succeed in spite of them.</p>\n<p>The battle over GME stock is a challenge to that dynamic. It’s a head-to-head showdown between Main Street and Wall Street. The&nbsp;gang on Reddit&nbsp;took the fight to the professionals. They used social media to squeeze the shorts out in GME. There were tremendous losses and&nbsp;investment houses went belly up. This madness although is now at lower intensity, continues.</p>\n<p><b>GME Stock Action Was Infectious</b></p>\n<p>What’s worse is that its scope expanded beyond GME. Speculation grew around other stocks and they, too, caught fire. The bunch included&nbsp;<b>AMC</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>),<b>Nokia</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NOK</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Palantir</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>). These fringe stocks also spiked 100% to 700% in February. While this is fun to watch, it creates havoc for other investors. The regulators must get that under control sooner than later.</p>\n<p>The whole premise of investing is having a level playing field. This is not it! Now there are two sides who are manipulating stock prices for short-term gains. Besides, the unnatural ways they rallied disrupted the momentum that the bulls had going. For example, now PLTR has a huge overhang resistance from the February high watermark. Big bursts exhaust the buyers for a long while.</p>\n<p>Technically, GME stock is now challenging$185 per share. Normally I’d say this is rough resistance, but in this case anything is possible. Therein lies the attractiveness of the stock. It captured the imagination especially of newer investors. Fortunes are available to those who can time it well. The problem is that it requires a lot of luck, just like in Las Vegas.</p>\n<p>Homework won’t help much because the business of GameStop has been deteriorating for years. This is not because of the pandemic. The results in 2019 were already much worse than 2017. Total revenues were already down 30% in two years even before Covid-19 showed up. The financial metrics were already going the wrong way.</p>\n<p><b>Onus Is on Management to Fix the Business</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34f453fde54f3a7e3e63e83ef2a82c74\" tg-width=\"1535\" tg-height=\"825\"><span>Source: Charts by TradingView</span></p>\n<p>Management will need to reinvent itself to stop the bleeding and turn the tide. That’s going to be harder to do since yesterday the CEO George Sherman announced his resignation. The new team will have a blank slate since there’s almost nothing to lose. They can only improve on a bad situation.</p>\n<p>From total chaos sometimes we get great reform opportunities. Take&nbsp;<b>General Electric</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>GE</u></b>), for example. For a while, management was committing one flub after another. They finally got the right team and things fell into place. The company is now looking great. It’s leaner, meaner, and on the right path to redemption.</p>\n<p>This is what GME stocks needs in the long run. But for the short run I bet there is a whole bunch more shenanigans. The gang on Reddit is not likely to give up this easily. If you don’t enjoy gambling, this is not the stock for you.</p>\n<p>The charts show that it is stuck in a wide range. A break below $118 per share could bring a big drop from there. Conversely, the breach above $200 invites more buyers and the sky’s the limit then. I am being sarcastic but only to a degree.

This year we have the epic story we call GameStop (NYSE:GME). GME stock exploded 2300% out of nowhere late January. Since then it continues to be a wild ride.\nToday we evaluate the viability of chasing this beast going forward. Spoiler alert, the price action suggests more fireworks soon.\nOn the face of it, it looked like a massive short squeeze. In reality, this is a battle between retail investors and Wall Street. Up until now, the insiders in the investment community had the upper hand. They control the rules so they are able to twist them to give themselves advantages. The retail investors have to live with those disadvantages and succeed in spite of them.\nThe battle over GME stock is a challenge to that dynamic. It’s a head-to-head showdown between Main Street and Wall Street. The gang on Reddit took the fight to the professionals. They used social media to squeeze the shorts out in GME. There were tremendous losses and investment houses went belly up. This madness although is now at lower intensity, continues.\nGME Stock Action Was Infectious\nWhat’s worse is that its scope expanded beyond GME. Speculation grew around other stocks and they, too, caught fire. The bunch included AMC (NYSE:AMC),Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and Palantir (NYSE:PLTR). These fringe stocks also spiked 100% to 700% in February. While this is fun to watch, it creates havoc for other investors. The regulators must get that under control sooner than later.\nThe whole premise of investing is having a level playing field. This is not it! Now there are two sides who are manipulating stock prices for short-term gains. Besides, the unnatural ways they rallied disrupted the momentum that the bulls had going. For example, now PLTR has a huge overhang resistance from the February high watermark. Big bursts exhaust the buyers for a long while.\nTechnically, GME stock is now challenging$185 per share. Normally I’d say this is rough resistance, but in this case anything is possible. Therein lies the attractiveness of the stock. It captured the imagination especially of newer investors. Fortunes are available to those who can time it well. The problem is that it requires a lot of luck, just like in Las Vegas.\nHomework won’t help much because the business of GameStop has been deteriorating for years. This is not because of the pandemic. The results in 2019 were already much worse than 2017. Total revenues were already down 30% in two years even before Covid-19 showed up. The financial metrics were already going the wrong way.\nOnus Is on Management to Fix the Business\nSource: Charts by TradingView\nManagement will need to reinvent itself to stop the bleeding and turn the tide. That’s going to be harder to do since yesterday the CEO George Sherman announced his resignation. The new team will have a blank slate since there’s almost nothing to lose. They can only improve on a bad situation.\nFrom total chaos sometimes we get great reform opportunities. Take General Electric (NYSE:GE), for example. For a while, management was committing one flub after another. They finally got the right team and things fell into place. The company is now looking great. It’s leaner, meaner, and on the right path to redemption.\nThis is what GME stocks needs in the long run. But for the short run I bet there is a whole bunch more shenanigans. The gang on Reddit is not likely to give up this easily. If you don’t enjoy gambling, this is not the stock for you.\nThe charts show that it is stuck in a wide range. A break below $118 per share could bring a big drop from there. Conversely, the breach above $200 invites more buyers and the sky’s the limit then. I am being sarcastic but only to a degree. After seeing what happened in February, I would not be surprised to see more jaw-dropping action.\nWhatever investors decide to do with GME stock needs to come with humility. There are absolutely no conviction levels that warrant taking giant risks. The action is too wild, and it resembles more gambling than investing. These shenanigans have been the wildest I’ve ever seen in my entire life.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":559,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350956258,"gmtCreate":1616153486274,"gmtModify":1704791600883,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574908424853825","authorIdStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme to the moon","listText":"Gme to the moon","text":"Gme to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350956258","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143733672","pubTimestamp":1616152692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143733672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143733672","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's a GameStop world.

But technological innovations in gene sequencing have reduced the costs of testing and opened the door to a massive potential market.</p><p>Invitae CEO Sean George told CNBC last week that the scenario for genetic testing is similar to what happened in the computing and networking industry around four decades ago. Lower semiconductor costs back then set the stage for an explosion in the market.</p><p>How big could the explosion be in genetic testing? Invitae thinks that its total addressable market tops $150 billion annually. It projects that the genetic testing opportunity in senior adults ages 65 and over alone is around $63 billion. The company estimates that the potential genetic-testing market in adults between the ages of 41 and 65 totals around $60 billion.</p><p>Invitae believes that it's at an inflection point in the transformation curve for genetic testing. As the company continues to drive costs lower and expands its menu of tests, it expects testing volumes to increase significantly.</p><p><b>Better than Tesla?</b></p><p>To be sure, Invitae hasn't been as big of a winner as Tesla so far. Over the last five years, thehealthcare stockhas quintupled in value. During the same period, however, Tesla skyrocketed close to 1,500%.</p><p>But could Invitae be a better pick than Tesla over the long run? When asked in a Bloomberg interview in December which stock could fuel the biggest gains for ARK ETFs over the next five years, Wood acknowledged that Tesla is in the running. However, she also stated, \"The biggest upside surprises are going to come from the genomics space.\"</p><p>That doesn't mean Invitae is necessarily the genomics stock that will emerge as the major surprise winner of the future. It could be, though.</p><p>The company's market cap currently stands at only around $8.5 billion. Invitae could potentially be a 10-bagger if it snags a double-digit share of its addressable market. While Tesla has been remarkably successful, it's a stretch to envision the stock becoming a 10-bagger again.</p><p>Invitae just might be a better buy than Tesla right now. Even if it's not, though, there's a really good chance the stock won't remain underappreciated for too much longer.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is This Underappreciated Cathie Wood Stock a Better Buy Than Tesla Right Now?</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\">\nIs This Underappreciated Cathie Wood Stock a Better Buy Than Tesla Right Now?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-19 19:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/is-this-underappreciated-cathie-wood-stock-a-bette/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It definitely could have more upside potential.Pretty much everybody knows Cathie Wood really likesTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA).

But technological innovations in gene sequencing have reduced the costs of testing and opened the door to a massive potential market.Invitae CEO Sean George told CNBC last week that the scenario for genetic testing is similar to what happened in the computing and networking industry around four decades ago. Lower semiconductor costs back then set the stage for an explosion in the market.How big could the explosion be in genetic testing? Invitae thinks that its total addressable market tops $150 billion annually. It projects that the genetic testing opportunity in senior adults ages 65 and over alone is around $63 billion. The company estimates that the potential genetic-testing market in adults between the ages of 41 and 65 totals around $60 billion.Invitae believes that it's at an inflection point in the transformation curve for genetic testing. As the company continues to drive costs lower and expands its menu of tests, it expects testing volumes to increase significantly.Better than Tesla?To be sure, Invitae hasn't been as big of a winner as Tesla so far. Over the last five years, thehealthcare stockhas quintupled in value. During the same period, however, Tesla skyrocketed close to 1,500%.But could Invitae be a better pick than Tesla over the long run? When asked in a Bloomberg interview in December which stock could fuel the biggest gains for ARK ETFs over the next five years, Wood acknowledged that Tesla is in the running. However, she also stated, \"The biggest upside surprises are going to come from the genomics space.\"That doesn't mean Invitae is necessarily the genomics stock that will emerge as the major surprise winner of the future. It could be, though.The company's market cap currently stands at only around $8.5 billion. Invitae could potentially be a 10-bagger if it snags a double-digit share of its addressable market. While Tesla has been remarkably successful, it's a stretch to envision the stock becoming a 10-bagger again.Invitae just might be a better buy than Tesla right now. Even if it's not, though, there's a really good chance the stock won't remain underappreciated for too much longer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
