A sell-off is happening. And you might be wondering why. Some investors are simply locking in gains. But others are reducing holdings because they fear what might lie ahead for the economy.</p>\n<p>Chinese real estate giant <b>China Evergrande Group</b> has warned it might default on debt. Shocks from that would be felt around the world. And right here at home, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. may not be able to pay its bills as soon as next month unless the debt ceiling is lifted.</p>\n<p>All of this sounds grim. But for the long-term investor, tough times are usually times that bring opportunity -- opportunity to buy shares of solid companies at a good price. Let's have a look at three of the best stocks to buy right now.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04b3826440b2fa25f8bb9c1ae52c0916\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Novavax</h3>\n<p>First on my list is <b>Novavax </b>(NASDAQ:NVAX). Shares of the biotech company have dropped more than 8% since Sept. 1. Yet, good news could be on the horizon. The company might be the next to enter the coronavirus vaccine market. It aims to complete its U.S. regulatory request in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>So, why the poor share performance? Investors weren't happy when Novavax fell behind in its timeline to bring its vaccine candidate to market. The company initially said it would complete the U.S. regulatory request in June, but raw materials shortages and related logistics issues held things up.</p>\n<p>Still, there is plenty of positive news. Data from the phase 3 trial are solid. The company landed a supply agreement with the European Union for as many as 200 million doses. And Novavax predicts that overall, it will bring in billions of dollars in revenue in the coming quarters if the vaccine candidate is authorized.</p>\n<p>Novavax also has a flu vaccine candidate, NanoFlu, that last year met all primary endpoints in a phase 3 trial. I'm optimistic about the commercialization of that product down the road. And Novavax recently launched a clinical trial of a combined flu/COVID vaccine candidate. Considering the performance of each vaccine candidate individually, I'm optimistic about the success of them combined. All of this means plenty of potential catalysts for the stock into the future.</p>\n<h3>Amazon</h3>\n<p>I like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) for its dominance in e-commerce. In the last earnings report, the company said it added 50 million members to its Prime membership program over a period of 18 months. And the company's two-year compound annual growth rate is in the range of 25% to 30%. That's higher than the revenue growth rate of 21% prior to the pandemic. Online shopping isn't going away. And Amazon is leading the way.</p>\n<p>So, I like Amazon for that business. But I <i>love</i> Amazon for its top position in the world of cloud computing. Why? Amazon Web Services is a major contributor to profit. AWS makes up 54% of Amazon's operating income. And it's likely this will continue. The pandemic marked a turning point for many businesses: They no longer wanted to take care of their own technology infrastructure. So they turned to Amazon.

A sell-off is happening. And you might be wondering why. Some investors are simply locking in gains. But others are reducing holdings because they fear what might lie ahead for the economy.\nChinese real estate giant China Evergrande Group has warned it might default on debt. Shocks from that would be felt around the world. And right here at home, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. may not be able to pay its bills as soon as next month unless the debt ceiling is lifted.\nAll of this sounds grim. But for the long-term investor, tough times are usually times that bring opportunity -- opportunity to buy shares of solid companies at a good price. Let's have a look at three of the best stocks to buy right now.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNovavax\nFirst on my list is Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX). Shares of the biotech company have dropped more than 8% since Sept. 1. Yet, good news could be on the horizon. The company might be the next to enter the coronavirus vaccine market. It aims to complete its U.S. regulatory request in the fourth quarter.\nSo, why the poor share performance? Investors weren't happy when Novavax fell behind in its timeline to bring its vaccine candidate to market. The company initially said it would complete the U.S. regulatory request in June, but raw materials shortages and related logistics issues held things up.\nStill, there is plenty of positive news. Data from the phase 3 trial are solid. The company landed a supply agreement with the European Union for as many as 200 million doses. And Novavax predicts that overall, it will bring in billions of dollars in revenue in the coming quarters if the vaccine candidate is authorized.\nNovavax also has a flu vaccine candidate, NanoFlu, that last year met all primary endpoints in a phase 3 trial. I'm optimistic about the commercialization of that product down the road. And Novavax recently launched a clinical trial of a combined flu/COVID vaccine candidate. Considering the performance of each vaccine candidate individually, I'm optimistic about the success of them combined. All of this means plenty of potential catalysts for the stock into the future.\nAmazon\nI like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) for its dominance in e-commerce. In the last earnings report, the company said it added 50 million members to its Prime membership program over a period of 18 months. And the company's two-year compound annual growth rate is in the range of 25% to 30%. That's higher than the revenue growth rate of 21% prior to the pandemic. Online shopping isn't going away. And Amazon is leading the way.\nSo, I like Amazon for that business. But I love Amazon for its top position in the world of cloud computing. Why? Amazon Web Services is a major contributor to profit. AWS makes up 54% of Amazon's operating income. And it's likely this will continue. The pandemic marked a turning point for many businesses: They no longer wanted to take care of their own technology infrastructure. So they turned to Amazon. In fact, worldwide cloud computer services are growing. Spending on these services climbed 36% in the second quarter to more than $47 billion, according to Canalys.\nAmazon shares have gained less than 4% this year. I don't see this as a permanent slowdown; I see it as an opportunity to get in on this innovative growth company before the stock takes off again.\nStarbucks\nToday's Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is different from the Starbucks of the past. The focus no longer is sitting in a cafe with a group of friends over coffee. During the worst of the pandemic, the company studied the changes in the market and predicted trends that would last. And importantly, Starbucks adapted.\nThe coffee-shop giant is revamping its store profile in the U.S. For example, it's opening smaller shops dedicated to order pickup in cities. Starbucks also made efforts to open more drive-thrus. This store transformation is about 80% complete. It's clear that the areas it is targeting are key. Drive-thru orders accounted for 47% of transactions in the most recent quarter. And online orders for pickup or delivery represented 26% of transactions.\nI also like Starbucks' brand strength. The company added 1 million active members to its Rewards program in the past quarter. And its total of about 24 million active Rewards members represents more than half of spending in U.S. stores. This is even more than before the pandemic.\nStarbucks shares have slipped about 4% since the start of the month. At about $112, they're trading well below Wall Street's average 12-month price forecast of $131.26. So any pullback is definitely an opportunity to pour shares of this hot stock into your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869945076,"gmtCreate":1632238390795,"gmtModify":1676530732761,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tricky market - I bought too high&nbsp;","listText":"Tricky market - I bought too high&nbsp;","text":"Tricky market - I bought too high","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869945076","repostId":"1103252137","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884225066,"gmtCreate":1631896077855,"gmtModify":1676530665655,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sticking with nextflix&nbsp;","listText":"Sticking with nextflix&nbsp;","text":"Sticking with nextflix","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/884225066","repostId":"2168783315","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168783315","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631886623,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2168783315?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-17 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"HBO Max slashes prices in limited offer as streaming wars heat up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168783315","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 17 (Reuters) - AT&T Inc's HBO Max streaming service has halved its subscription fees in a limit","content":"<p>Sept 17 (Reuters) - AT&amp;T Inc's HBO Max streaming service has halved its subscription fees in a limited-period offer to lure back millions of subscribers it lost after dropping out of Amazon.com Inc's Prime video channels.</p>\n<p>The limited-time promotion offer of $7.49 per month - for up to six months - is available through Sept. 26 for users who accessed HBO via Prime video channels as well as all new and returning HBO Max subscribers, the company said on Friday.</p>\n<p>This is lower than the Prime video membership of $8.99 per month, plus taxes.

But for the first time in a while, retail investors might be ignoring that guidance now.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 index dropped over 30% in March 2020. Ordinary investors didn’t flinch; instead, they bought up index funds on the cheap. In many cases, this activity has worked as a counterweight to the market’s plunges.</p>\n<p>A note from Vanda Research, a finance analytics firm, describes how that’s been true for 2021 as well, except for the most recent hiccup in the markets.</p>\n<p>“Retail investors have bought every minor dip in equities this year, shielding the S&amp;P against a double digit sell-off,” analysts Ben Onatibia and Giacomo Pierantoni wrote.

There may be a much wider range of options and prices for iPhones, but Apple still doesn't come close to the lower-price tiers available on Android smartphones.\n\"The company still focuses on profits and revenue rather than chasing volume and market share, which was the same mantra under Steve Jobs,\" McQueen said. \"Perhaps Jobs wouldn't have launched as many device types at different sizes, as he always feared cannibalizing revenue streams -- notably across iPad mini and larger screened iPhones.\"\nStill, the number of iPhone variations and price points has only helped it appeal to more buyers -- and it most likely will again this year, too.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":565,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883315797,"gmtCreate":1631201627319,"gmtModify":1676530496233,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No delta effect?","listText":"No delta effect?","text":"No delta effect?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/883315797","repostId":"2166349856","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836873829,"gmtCreate":1629472258961,"gmtModify":1676530053720,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wheres that taper tantrum?","listText":"Wheres that taper tantrum?","text":"Wheres that taper tantrum?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836873829","repostId":"2160710461","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831874135,"gmtCreate":1629305182927,"gmtModify":1676529999002,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Scary — how often are we gonna need boosters??","listText":"Scary — how often are we gonna need boosters??","text":"Scary — how often are we gonna need boosters??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831874135","repostId":"2160737578","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":830784760,"gmtCreate":1629100078550,"gmtModify":1676529929461,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Who’s excited?","listText":"Who’s excited?","text":"Who’s excited?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/830784760","repostId":"1111034903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111034903","pubTimestamp":1629099150,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1111034903?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-16 15:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s Next iPhone Is Coming Soon.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.\nNone of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's Fast and Furious series entry F9 debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question. A Quiet Place, Part II, and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard were also released in May and June, respectively. Godzilla vs. Kong was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.\nAs it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA still-ugly picture\nThe image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June.

That would put the onset of tapering in late December or early January.“So bottom line I think the timeline remains the same.&nbsp; It would be hard to start tapering in September because it would go against both the ‘coming meetings’ (plural) language in the July statement and the notion that the FOMC would provide ample notice before actually starting tapering.”</i>\n</blockquote>","source":"lsy1583725640930","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Assuming it will be good as well, a plausible base case is for the FOMC to say at the September meeting that the labor market continued to make good progress, and if the progress continues at the recent pace the committee will be in a position to start tapering its asset purchases over the next few months.  That would put the onset of tapering in late December or early January.“So bottom line I think the timeline remains the same.  It would be hard to start tapering in September because it would go against both the ‘coming meetings’ (plural) language in the July statement and the notion that the FOMC would provide ample notice before actually starting tapering.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576119840362689","authorId":"3576119840362689","name":"TraderNeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e1a1e44089d2f20240d3e7bc6fc0c7","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"we just have to wait to hear more info from the Fed in the coming Jackson Hole and FOMC","text":"we just have to wait to hear more info from the Fed in the coming Jackson Hole and FOMC","html":"we just have to wait to hear more info from the Fed in the coming Jackson Hole and FOMC"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891111607,"gmtCreate":1628347698009,"gmtModify":1703505303593,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Been eyeing it for a long time but never got in… boohoo","listText":"Been eyeing it for a long time but never got in… boohoo","text":"Been eyeing it for a long time but never got in… boohoo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891111607","repostId":"1139912651","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":76,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893843213,"gmtCreate":1628257156832,"gmtModify":1703504083853,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Scooping up at the bottom.","listText":"Scooping up at the bottom.","text":"Scooping up at the bottom.","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8db1a28f2896455e78eca1842c3eb12","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/893843213","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":869568142,"gmtCreate":1632305235286,"gmtModify":1676530747823,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I’ve wanted Starbucks for ages but not convincedsomehow&nbsp;","listText":"I’ve wanted Starbucks for ages but not convincedsomehow&nbsp;","text":"I’ve wanted Starbucks for ages but not convincedsomehow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869568142","repostId":"2169656152","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169656152","pubTimestamp":1632304620,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169656152?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-22 17:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"September Sell-Off: Best Stocks to Buy Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169656152","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Key Points</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Novavax has many catalysts ahead, including potential coronavirus vaccine authorization.</li>\n <li>Amazon is a leader in two major areas: e-commerce and cloud computing.</li>\n <li>Starbucks' most loyal customers are spending more and more at the coffee chain.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The stock market was going strong this year -- until just recently.

Shares of the biotech company have dropped more than 8% since Sept. 1. Yet, good news could be on the horizon. The company might be the next to enter the coronavirus vaccine market. It aims to complete its U.S. regulatory request in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>So, why the poor share performance? Investors weren't happy when Novavax fell behind in its timeline to bring its vaccine candidate to market. The company initially said it would complete the U.S. regulatory request in June, but raw materials shortages and related logistics issues held things up.</p>\n<p>Still, there is plenty of positive news. Data from the phase 3 trial are solid. The company landed a supply agreement with the European Union for as many as 200 million doses. And Novavax predicts that overall, it will bring in billions of dollars in revenue in the coming quarters if the vaccine candidate is authorized.</p>\n<p>Novavax also has a flu vaccine candidate, NanoFlu, that last year met all primary endpoints in a phase 3 trial. I'm optimistic about the commercialization of that product down the road. And Novavax recently launched a clinical trial of a combined flu/COVID vaccine candidate. Considering the performance of each vaccine candidate individually, I'm optimistic about the success of them combined. All of this means plenty of potential catalysts for the stock into the future.</p>\n<h3>Amazon</h3>\n<p>I like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) for its dominance in e-commerce. In the last earnings report, the company said it added 50 million members to its Prime membership program over a period of 18 months. And the company's two-year compound annual growth rate is in the range of 25% to 30%. That's higher than the revenue growth rate of 21% prior to the pandemic. Online shopping isn't going away. And Amazon is leading the way.</p>\n<p>So, I like Amazon for that business. But I <i>love</i> Amazon for its top position in the world of cloud computing. Why? Amazon Web Services is a major contributor to profit. AWS makes up 54% of Amazon's operating income. And it's likely this will continue. The pandemic marked a turning point for many businesses: They no longer wanted to take care of their own technology infrastructure. So they turned to Amazon. In fact, worldwide cloud computer services are growing. Spending on these services climbed 36% in the second quarter to more than $47 billion, according to Canalys.</p>\n<p>Amazon shares have gained less than 4% this year. I don't see this as a permanent slowdown; I see it as an opportunity to get in on this innovative growth company before the stock takes off again.</p>\n<h3>Starbucks</h3>\n<p>Today's <b>Starbucks</b> (NASDAQ:SBUX) is different from the Starbucks of the past. The focus no longer is sitting in a cafe with a group of friends over coffee. During the worst of the pandemic, the company studied the changes in the market and predicted trends that would last. And importantly, Starbucks adapted.</p>\n<p>The coffee-shop giant is revamping its store profile in the U.S. For example, it's opening smaller shops dedicated to order pickup in cities. Starbucks also made efforts to open more drive-thrus. This store transformation is about 80% complete. It's clear that the areas it is targeting are key. Drive-thru orders accounted for 47% of transactions in the most recent quarter. And online orders for pickup or delivery represented 26% of transactions.</p>\n<p>I also like Starbucks' brand strength. The company added 1 million active members to its Rewards program in the past quarter. And its total of about 24 million active Rewards members represents more than half of spending in U.S. stores. This is even more than before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Starbucks shares have slipped about 4% since the start of the month. At about $112, they're trading well below Wall Street's average 12-month price forecast of $131.26. So any pullback is definitely an opportunity to pour shares of this hot stock into your portfolio.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>September Sell-Off: Best Stocks to Buy 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\">\nSeptember Sell-Off: Best Stocks to Buy Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-22 17:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.\n\nKey Points\n\nNovavax has many catalysts ahead, including potential coronavirus vaccine authorization.\nAmazon is a ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMZN":"亚马逊","SBUX":"星巴克","NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2169656152","content_text":"General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.\n\nKey Points\n\nNovavax has many catalysts ahead, including potential coronavirus vaccine authorization.\nAmazon is a leader in two major areas: e-commerce and cloud computing.\nStarbucks' most loyal customers are spending more and more at the coffee chain.\n\nThe stock market was going strong this year -- until just recently.

Friday’s market action proved that.</p>\n<p>It’s true that there could be a correction, given the already sizable 17% gain in the S&amp;P 500 Index&nbsp;this year. But you should buy then, too.</p>\n<p>Here’s why.</p>\n<p>We are still only in the early stages of what is going to be a three- to five-year bull market in stocks, for these six reasons.</p>\n<p><b>1. There’s tremendous pent-up demand</b></p>\n<p>Everyone is looking to the Federal Reserve for cues about stimulus. They are overlooking private-sector forces that will push stocks higher. To sum up, there’s huge pent-up private-sector demand that will help propel U.S. GDP growth to 8% this year and 3.5%-4.5% for years after that. The pent-up demand comes from the following sources, points out Jim Paulsen, chief strategist and economist at the Leuthold Group.</p>\n<p>First, there’s been a surge in household formation, as millennials hit the family years. This helps explain the big uptick in home demand. Once you buy a house, you have to fill it up with stuff. More consumer demand on the way.</p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, consumers have massive unspent savings because they hunkered down for the pandemic. The personal savings rate hit nearly 16% of GDP, compared to a post war average of 6.5%. The prior high was 10% in 1970s.</p>\n<p>Relatedly, household balance sheets improved remarkably. Debt-to-income ratios are the lowest since the 1990s. Consumers will continue to tap more bank loans and credit card capacity, as their confidence increases because employment and the economy remain strong.</p>\n<p>Next, there will be plenty more newly employed people once the extra unemployment benefits expire in September. This means consumer confidence will improve, which invariably boosts economic growth. The labor participation rate has room to improve, leaving spare employment capacity before we hit the full employment that can cap economic growth.</p>\n<p>Now let’s look at the pent-up demand in businesses.</p>\n<p>You know all the shortages of stuff you keep running into or hearing about? Here’s why this is happening. To prepare for a prolonged epidemic, businesses cut inventories to the bone. It was the biggest inventory liquidation ever. But now, companies have to build back inventories. The ongoing inventory rebuild will be huge.</p>\n<p>Companies also cut capacity, which they are building out again. Capital goods spending surged to record highs in the past year, advancing almost 23%, after being essentially flat for most of the prior two decades. This creates sustained growth, and it tells us a lot about business confidence.</p>\n<p><b>The bottom line</b>: We will see 7%-8% GDP growth this year, followed by 4%-4.5% next year and above average growth after that, supporting a sustained bull market in stocks. Expect the normal corrections along the way.</p>\n<p><b>2. An under-appreciated earnings boom lies ahead</b></p>\n<p>The economic rebound has happened so quickly, analysts can’t keep up. Wall Street analysts project $190 a share in S&amp;P 500 earnings this year. But that is woefully low given the expected 7%-8% GDP growth and massive stimulus that has yet to kick in. Stimulus normally takes six to eight months to take effect, and a lot of the recent dollops happened inside that window.</p>\n<p>Paulsen expects 2021 S&amp;P 500 earnings will be more like $220 instead of the consensus estimate of $190.</p>\n<p>“Analysts are still under-appreciating how much profits have improved and how much they will improve,” says Paulsen. “We had dramatic overreaction from policy officials. They addressed the collapse, but created a massive improvement in fundamentals. This is still playing out in terms of the recovery in profits.”</p>\n<p>Plus, more fiscal stimulus is probably on the way, in the form of infrastructure spending.</p>\n<p><b>3. There’s a new Fed in town</b></p>\n<p>For much of the past three decades, the Fed has been quick to tighten its policy to ward off inflation. The central bank killed off growth in the process. That’s one reason why the past 20 years posted the slowest growth in the post-war era. Now, though, the Fed is much more accommodative and this may likely persist because inflation will remain sluggish (more on this, below).</p>\n<p>Here’s a simple gauge to measure this. Take GDP growth and subtract the yield on 10-year TreasuriesTMUBMUSD10Y,1.359%.This gauge was negative for much of 1980-2010, when the Fed kept growth cool to contain inflation. Now, though, Fed policy is helping to keep 10-year yields well below GDP growth, which allows the economy to run hot. This was the state of affairs during 1950-1965, which some analysts call “the golden age of capitalism” because of the glide path in growth.</p>\n<p><b>4. Inflation won’t kill the bull</b></p>\n<p>Inflation may rise near term because the economy is so hot. But medium term, the inflation slayers will win out. Here’s a roundup. The population is aging, and older people spend less. The boom in business capital spending will continue to boost productivity at companies. This allows them to avoid passing along rising costs to customers. Global trade and competition have not gone away. This puts downward pressure on prices since goods can be made more cheaply in many foreign countries. Ongoing technological advances continually put downward pressure on tech products.</p>\n<p><b>5. Valuations will improve</b></p>\n<p>We’re now at the phase in the economic rebound where the following dynamic typically plays out. Stocks trade sideways for months, mostly because of worries about inflation and rising bond yields. All the while, the economy and earnings continue to grow, bringing down stock valuations. This dynamic played out at about this point in prior economic rebounds during 1983-84, 1993-94, 2004-05 and 2009-10. In short, we will see a big surge in earnings while the stock market marks time, or even corrects.</p>\n<p>This will reset stock valuations lower, removing one of the chief concerns among investors — high valuations.

Friday’s market action proved that.\nIt’s true that there could be a correction, given the already sizable 17% gain in the S&P 500 Index this year. But you should buy then, too.\nHere’s why.\nWe are still only in the early stages of what is going to be a three- to five-year bull market in stocks, for these six reasons.\n1. There’s tremendous pent-up demand\nEveryone is looking to the Federal Reserve for cues about stimulus. They are overlooking private-sector forces that will push stocks higher. To sum up, there’s huge pent-up private-sector demand that will help propel U.S. GDP growth to 8% this year and 3.5%-4.5% for years after that. The pent-up demand comes from the following sources, points out Jim Paulsen, chief strategist and economist at the Leuthold Group.\nFirst, there’s been a surge in household formation, as millennials hit the family years. This helps explain the big uptick in home demand. Once you buy a house, you have to fill it up with stuff. More consumer demand on the way.\nBehind the scenes, consumers have massive unspent savings because they hunkered down for the pandemic. The personal savings rate hit nearly 16% of GDP, compared to a post war average of 6.5%. The prior high was 10% in 1970s.\nRelatedly, household balance sheets improved remarkably. Debt-to-income ratios are the lowest since the 1990s. Consumers will continue to tap more bank loans and credit card capacity, as their confidence increases because employment and the economy remain strong.\nNext, there will be plenty more newly employed people once the extra unemployment benefits expire in September. This means consumer confidence will improve, which invariably boosts economic growth. The labor participation rate has room to improve, leaving spare employment capacity before we hit the full employment that can cap economic growth.\nNow let’s look at the pent-up demand in businesses.\nYou know all the shortages of stuff you keep running into or hearing about? Here’s why this is happening. To prepare for a prolonged epidemic, businesses cut inventories to the bone. It was the biggest inventory liquidation ever. But now, companies have to build back inventories. The ongoing inventory rebuild will be huge.\nCompanies also cut capacity, which they are building out again. Capital goods spending surged to record highs in the past year, advancing almost 23%, after being essentially flat for most of the prior two decades. This creates sustained growth, and it tells us a lot about business confidence.\nThe bottom line: We will see 7%-8% GDP growth this year, followed by 4%-4.5% next year and above average growth after that, supporting a sustained bull market in stocks. Expect the normal corrections along the way.\n2. An under-appreciated earnings boom lies ahead\nThe economic rebound has happened so quickly, analysts can’t keep up. Wall Street analysts project $190 a share in S&P 500 earnings this year. But that is woefully low given the expected 7%-8% GDP growth and massive stimulus that has yet to kick in. Stimulus normally takes six to eight months to take effect, and a lot of the recent dollops happened inside that window.\nPaulsen expects 2021 S&P 500 earnings will be more like $220 instead of the consensus estimate of $190.\n“Analysts are still under-appreciating how much profits have improved and how much they will improve,” says Paulsen. “We had dramatic overreaction from policy officials. They addressed the collapse, but created a massive improvement in fundamentals. This is still playing out in terms of the recovery in profits.”\nPlus, more fiscal stimulus is probably on the way, in the form of infrastructure spending.\n3. There’s a new Fed in town\nFor much of the past three decades, the Fed has been quick to tighten its policy to ward off inflation. The central bank killed off growth in the process. That’s one reason why the past 20 years posted the slowest growth in the post-war era. Now, though, the Fed is much more accommodative and this may likely persist because inflation will remain sluggish (more on this, below).\nHere’s a simple gauge to measure this. Take GDP growth and subtract the yield on 10-year TreasuriesTMUBMUSD10Y,1.359%.This gauge was negative for much of 1980-2010, when the Fed kept growth cool to contain inflation. Now, though, Fed policy is helping to keep 10-year yields well below GDP growth, which allows the economy to run hot. This was the state of affairs during 1950-1965, which some analysts call “the golden age of capitalism” because of the glide path in growth.\n4. Inflation won’t kill the bull\nInflation may rise near term because the economy is so hot. But medium term, the inflation slayers will win out. Here’s a roundup. The population is aging, and older people spend less. The boom in business capital spending will continue to boost productivity at companies. This allows them to avoid passing along rising costs to customers. Global trade and competition have not gone away. This puts downward pressure on prices since goods can be made more cheaply in many foreign countries. Ongoing technological advances continually put downward pressure on tech products.\n5. Valuations will improve\nWe’re now at the phase in the economic rebound where the following dynamic typically plays out. Stocks trade sideways for months, mostly because of worries about inflation and rising bond yields. All the while, the economy and earnings continue to grow, bringing down stock valuations. This dynamic played out at about this point in prior economic rebounds during 1983-84, 1993-94, 2004-05 and 2009-10. In short, we will see a big surge in earnings while the stock market marks time, or even corrects.\nThis will reset stock valuations lower, removing one of the chief concerns among investors — high valuations. If S&P 500 earnings hit $220 by the end of the year and the index is at 4,000 to 4,100 points because of a correction, stocks will be at an 18-19 price earnings ratio — below the average since 1990.\nTrue to form, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,+1.30%and the Russell 2000 small-cap index have traded sideways for two to four months. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recently broke out of trading ranges, but a bigger pullback would send them back into sideways action mode.\n6. Sentiment isn’t extreme\nAs a contrarian, I look for excessive sentiment as a sign that it’s time to raise some cash. We don’t see that yet. A simple gauge to follow is the Investors Intelligence Bull/Bear ratio. It recently came in at 3.92. That’s near the warning path, which for me starts at 4. On the other hand, mutual fund cash was recently at $4.6 trillion, near historical highs. This represents caution among investors.\nThree themes to follow\nIf we are in store for a sustained economic recovery and a multi-year bull market in stocks, it will pay to follow these three themes.\nFavor cyclicals.Stay with economically sensitive businesses and add to your holdings in them on pullbacks. This means cyclical companies in areas like financials, materials, industrials and consumer discretionary businesses.\nAvoid defensives.If you want yield, go with stocks that pay a dividend but also have capital appreciation potential — not steady growth companies selling stuff like consumer staples. On this theme, in my stock letter Brush Up on Stocks (the link is in bio, below) I’ve recently suggested or reiterated Home Depot in retail, B. Riley Financial,a markets and investment banking name, and Regional Management in consumer finance.\nFavor emerging markets.Their growth tends to be higher during expansions. Just be careful with China. It has an aging population. Limited workforce growth may constrain economic growth. Another challenge is that ongoing U.S.-China tensions and the related threat of persistent tariffs and trade barriers have global companies relocating supply chains elsewhere.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124427276,"gmtCreate":1624783540395,"gmtModify":1703845109808,"author":{"id":"3575090896400299","authorId":"3575090896400299","name":"Workaholyk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9032f0c616eb371f7056ee3aae5ad7be","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bought Bank of America after their last results —there was a silly plummet — should have bought the recent dip again&nbsp;","listText":"Bought Bank of America after their last results —there was a silly plummet — should have bought the recent dip again&nbsp;","text":"Bought Bank of America after their last results —there was a silly plummet — should have bought the recent dip again","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/124427276","repostId":"2146090006","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146090006","pubTimestamp":1624755315,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2146090006?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 08:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2146090006","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These growth and value stocks are begging to be bought by investors.","content":"<p>When Warren Buffett buys or sells a stock, Wall Street and retail investors tend to pay very close attention. That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>Lastly, bank stock <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>For much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.\nAlthough Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":313,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3565004892423880","authorId":"3565004892423880","name":"Chimmy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb71d738ca2f4da611b425823ebf3c60","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Agreed.

Massive discounts and trade-in offers from US carriers, in some cases amounting to a free device, are available. And the company continues to offer iPhones at a wide range of price points to appeal to more customers, with or without any groundbreaking new features or design changes this year.</p>\n<p>\"Apple has become the king of the 'good, better, best' portfolio with a phone at every relevant price point, particularly given it typically keeps older models in its line-up for those that don't want to pay four figures for the latest and greatest new devices,\" said Ben Wood, chief analyst of market research firm CCS Insight. \"Add trade-in into the mix and it makes it possible to get customers signed up for a more expensive phone than they likely planned to purchase.\"</p>\n<h3>Trade-in offers</h3>\n<p>For people willing to trade in their existing iPhones and commit to a wireless plan for the next few years, the discounts are jaw dropping.</p>\n<p>AT&amp;T (T), for example, is offering up to $1,000 toward a new iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max after a trade-in, while Verizon (VZ) is touting as much as $800 off any new iPhone, essentially paying for the cost of a 128 GB iPhone 13. (WarnerMedia, the parent company of CNN, is owned by AT&amp;T.)</p>\n<p>T-Mobile is offering the possibility of a free iPhone 13 for eligible trade-ins and says that with its Forever Upgrade program, users can get up to $800 off their next iPhone every two years, \"forever.\" If users buy from Apple directly and select T-Mobile as the carrier, they'll get a $700 credit toward a new iPhone. The deals go on and on.</p>\n<p>Trade-ins remain a central strategy for both mobile carriers and phone makers to drive replacement sales.

Massive discounts and trade-in offers from US carriers, in some cases amounting to a free device, are available. And the company continues to offer iPhones at a wide range of price points to appeal to more customers, with or without any groundbreaking new features or design changes this year.\n\"Apple has become the king of the 'good, better, best' portfolio with a phone at every relevant price point, particularly given it typically keeps older models in its line-up for those that don't want to pay four figures for the latest and greatest new devices,\" said Ben Wood, chief analyst of market research firm CCS Insight. \"Add trade-in into the mix and it makes it possible to get customers signed up for a more expensive phone than they likely planned to purchase.\"\nTrade-in offers\nFor people willing to trade in their existing iPhones and commit to a wireless plan for the next few years, the discounts are jaw dropping.\nAT&T (T), for example, is offering up to $1,000 toward a new iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max after a trade-in, while Verizon (VZ) is touting as much as $800 off any new iPhone, essentially paying for the cost of a 128 GB iPhone 13. (WarnerMedia, the parent company of CNN, is owned by AT&T.)\nT-Mobile is offering the possibility of a free iPhone 13 for eligible trade-ins and says that with its Forever Upgrade program, users can get up to $800 off their next iPhone every two years, \"forever.\" If users buy from Apple directly and select T-Mobile as the carrier, they'll get a $700 credit toward a new iPhone. The deals go on and on.\nTrade-ins remain a central strategy for both mobile carriers and phone makers to drive replacement sales. The catch, however, is that users will need to trade in relatively new devices.\nTrade-in offers also typically tie customers to a long contract that can include high-priced data plans. Carriers want to keep these users loyal rather than seeing them move to a competitor network -- and a discounted or free iPhone could be the right incentive to keep them there, according to David McQueen, a director at market research firm ABI Research. For Apple, it keeps customers deep within its ecosystem of products.\nPrices remain the same\nNot only did Apple avoid raising base prices on the iPhone, but it effectively lowered the cost of certain iPhones when factoring in higher entry-level storage options.\nAs analysts at Goldman Sachs pointed out in a research note Wednesday, the price of the 128 GB and 256 GB iPhone \"was reduced when compared to those same storage capacities last year.\"\nThe many colors of the iPhone 13\nSo why not raise prices this year, knowing that Apple always seems to find customers willing to pay top dollar for its devices?\n\"I believe Apple is aware that it has hit a sweet spot with pricing and the marginal gain of slightly increasing prices versus the negative backlash it would face is not worth it,\" Wood said.\nMore than that, he said Apple is focused on boosting revenue from the many premium services built around the iPhone, such as iCloud storage, Apple Music and Fitness+.\n'Good, better, best'\nWhen Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone in 2007, there was one device and one entry price point for users.

Every time I sold, it just went higher, and I bought again quickly, I kept repeating and thus reduced my bitcoin to 5.76 bitcoin,\" he explained.</p><p>It turned out to be an error that slashed about $70,000 from his account, at that time.</p><p>Dawood said that he eventually sold his remaining bitcoin to a man he met through www.localbitcoins.com , a site that matches buyers and sellers of crypto and touts human-to-human transactions.</p><p>The buyer wanted to wire him the sale proceeds but Dawood felt more comfortable meeting in a public place.

The Nasdaq also gained ground in June.\nThis month, investor appetite shifted away from economically sensitive cyclicals in favor of growth stocks.\n“Leading sectors year-to-date are what you’d expect,” Pavlik added. “Energy, financials and industrials, and that speaks to an economic environment that’s in the early stages of a cycle.”\n“(Investors) started the switch back to growth (stocks) after people started to buy in to (Fed Chair Jerome) Powell’s comments that focus on transitory inflation,” Pavlik added.\n“Some of the reopening trades have gotten a bit long in the tooth and that’s leading people back to growth.”\n(Graphic: Growths stocks outperform value in June, narrow YTD gap, )\n“The overall stock market continues to be on a tear, with very consistent gains for quite some time,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. “Valuations, while certainly high by historical standards, have been at a fairly consistent level, benefiting from the economic recovery.”\nThe private sector added 692,000 jobs in June, breezing past expectations, according to payroll processor ADP. The number is 92,000 higher than the private payroll adds economists predict from the Labor Department’s more comprehensive employment report due on Friday.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 210.22 points, or 0.61%, to 34,502.51, the S&P 500 gained 5.7 points, or 0.13%, to 4,297.5 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 24.38 points, or 0.17%, to 14,503.95.\nAmong the 11 major sectors in the S&P, six ended the session higher, with energy enjoying the biggest percentage gain.
