Great companies have large market caps precisely because they've been executing at a higher level than their competition. Even with a $1.65 trillion market cap, <b>Amazon.com</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) could easily double in value over the next couple of years.</p>\n<p>Most people are probably familiar with Amazon's dominant online marketplace. I mean, who hasn't purchased something within the past year on Amazon? According to an April report from eMarketer, Amazon now controls 40.4% of all online sales in the United States, the largest economy in the world by gross domestic product. This online success has encouraged more than 200 million people to sign up for a Prime membership, which only cements the loyalty of these shoppers to Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.</p>\n<p>Equally important is Amazon's cloud infrastructure platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last year, with the U.S. economy navigating its way through the worst economic downturn in decades, AWS grew sales by 30% and now has an annual run-rate of $54 billion in revenue. Since the margins from AWS are substantially higher than Amazon's other operating segments, AWS will be the company's key to explosive cash flow growth in the years that lie ahead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd67a054d6a438fccebe948326a3d8a8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Redfin.</span></p>\n<h2>Redfin</h2>\n<p>Another transformative stock that can help you achieve financial freedom over time is technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN). Although it's been clearly benefiting from historically low mortgage rates, and those rates won't stay near record lows forever, Redfin's combination of cost-savings and innovation are what'll make this company a major real estate player for decades to come.</p>\n<p>One the biggest differences between Redfin and traditional real estate companies can be found in the listing fees. Traditional realtors charge around 3% of the selling value of a home when representing a client. Redfin charges either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much buying and selling activity the buyer or seller has done with Redfin. An up to 2-percentage-point difference in listing fees might not sound like much, but when home prices are soaring as a result of low mortgage rates, the cost-savings Redfin can provide buyers and sellers is eye-popping. Not surprisingly, Redfin's share of the U.S. existing home sales has nearly tripled from 0.44% in 2015 to 1.14%, as of the first quarter of 2021.</p>\n<p>Redfin also provides a level of personalization not seen with traditional realty firms. For instance, the RedfinNow service is offered in select cities and involves the company purchasing homes for cash without the hassles of showings and price haggling. Meanwhile, Redfin Concierge helps homeowners with staging and improvements that'll help them get top-dollar for their residence.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df219df7b01fbc2aa008c455f28b99e5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teladoc Health</h2>\n<p>Healthcare stocks are known for their innovation, with possibly the biggest growth trend over the next decade being telemedicine. That's why telehealth kingpin <b>Teladoc Health</b> (NYSE:TDOC) can play a big role in helping you to reach financial independence.</p>\n<p>Similar to Redfin and Amazon, the pandemic created near-perfect conditions for Teladoc to thrive. With high-risk and potentially infected people stuck in their homes, physicians turned to virtual visits to keep up with patients. Teladoc handled almost 10.6 million virtual visits in 2020 after just 4.14 million in the previous year.</p>\n<p>But what folks are probably overlooking is how transformative telehealth can be. It's far more convenient for patients to stay home and consult with their doctor, and it's arguably easier for doctors to touch base with high-risk patients. The ease of communication should help lead to better patient outcomes, which health insurers will love. It also doesn't hurt that virtual visits are billed at a cheaper rate than office visits.</p>\n<p>The icing on the cake for Teladoc is its purchase of applied health signals company Livongo Health last year. Livongo is known for using artificial intelligence to send tips and nudges to chronically ill subscribers to help them lead healthier lives. It was a profitable company when purchased by Teladoc and its subscriber count has soared.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bdb43a48942466e24bc2c74fbc5033b0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Yet another storied business that can help you charge forward to financial freedom is payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA). I'll once again remind you that just because a company has a sizable market cap does not mean it can't deliver big-time long-term returns.</p>\n<p>One of the things that makes Mastercard such a great company is that it's cyclical. This means it thrives when the U.S. and global economy are expanding and it struggles when navigating a recession or economic contraction. The secret is that recessions often last just a few quarters, while periods of expansion last many, <i>many</i> years.</p>\n<p>What's more, Mastercard has shunned lending in favor of payment processing. Though it is giving up interest income and fee-earning potential during periods of expansion, this decision also means Mastercard isn't hit with credit delinquencies during recessions. Thus, it's able to bounce back from downturns much quicker than other financial stocks because it doesn't have to set capital aside for potential losses.</p>\n<p>And have I mentioned that much of the world still conducts its purchases in cash? There's a multi-decade runway for Mastercard to expand its infrastructure to underbanked regions of the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/626f702dc64e03a6186f9231d5b698b4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h2>\n<p>A fifth and final superb stock that'll put you on the path to financial independence is social media behemoth <b>Facebook</b> (NASDAQ:FB).</p>\n<p>When the curtain closed on the first quarter, Facebook claimed 3.45 billon unique monthly visitors to its owned social platforms. Approximately 2.85 billion visited its namesake site monthly, with another 600 million going to Instagram and WhatsApp. Put in another light, that's 44% of the world's entire population interacting with a Facebook asset each month -- and you wonder why advertisers are champing at the bit to place their message on the platform?</p>\n<p>Here's something else to consider: Of the $84.2 billion in ad revenue generated in 2020, almost all of it came from Facebook and Instagram. Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook Messenger have been meaningfully monetized as of yet. If the company is growing by 20%-plus without running on all cylinders, imagine what it'll be capable of when these assets are monetized.</p>\n<p>Facebook has ample opportunity delve beyond ads, too. Sales of its Oculus virtual reality devices are soaring, and the company could generate significant growth from online/digital payments in the future.</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>5 Stocks That Can Help You Achieve Financial Freedom</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\">\n5 Stocks That Can Help You Achieve Financial Freedom\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-31 21:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/31/5-stocks-can-help-you-achieve-financial-freedom/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Today, as we gather with friends and family, or simply enjoy a day off from work, let's not forget about the millions of people who've fought valiantly for our country since it declared its ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/31/5-stocks-can-help-you-achieve-financial-freedom/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"RDFN":"Redfin Corp","AMZN":"亚马逊","MA":"万事达","TDOC":"Teladoc Health Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/31/5-stocks-can-help-you-achieve-financial-freedom/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2139430866","content_text":"Today, as we gather with friends and family, or simply enjoy a day off from work, let's not forget about the millions of people who've fought valiantly for our country since it declared its independence 245 years ago.

Sales of its Oculus virtual reality devices are soaring, and the company could generate significant growth from online/digital payments in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375929777,"gmtCreate":1619280066799,"gmtModify":1704722075489,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375929777","repostId":"1180713929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180713929","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619191972,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180713929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-23 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMD Stock Popped After Intel's Earnings Beat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180713929","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.What happenedShares of rising Intel (NASDA","content":"<p>Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.</p><p><b>What happened</b></p><p>Shares of rising&nbsp;<b>Intel</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:INTC)&nbsp;rival and fellow&nbsp;semiconductors&nbsp;giant&nbsp;<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:AMD)&nbsp;popped in early trading on the Nasdaq Friday, the first day afterIntel's disappointing Q1 2021 earnings report.

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.</p><p>\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"</p><p><b>COVID-19 boosted diverse customer base</b></p><p>As of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500. About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

So far this year, the stock is up about 3%, compared with a gain of 10% for the S&P 500.The last time we mentioned Tesla was in early April, just before the company reported first-quarter vehicle deliveries.We then suggested that investors sell Tesla’s May $500 or May $550 put options to trade delivery data when the stock was around $661.75. So far, the trade has worked well. The May $500 puts are trading at $3.50, down from $11, and the May $550 puts are trading at $6.85, down from $20.Securing profits is largely a matter of discipline. Some investors will secure profits with gains of 70% on the puts, others will go for 90%. Still others will hold the puts until expiration because they are content acquiring the stock at the put strike price.Regardless of which side of the options market appeals to you, Tesla’s earnings should be a key event, and the sell-side analysts are likely to have more salacious comments to make.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":414,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348924535,"gmtCreate":1617882469027,"gmtModify":1704704309117,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>looking good","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>looking good","text":"$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$looking good","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a25f6d332497feaa60ba6cf3499e1843","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348924535","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":685,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348924131,"gmtCreate":1617882424423,"gmtModify":1704704309939,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls!

The S&P 500 fell 0.1% to 4,073.94, pressured by tech and health care. The broad equity benchmark fell for the first time in four days. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite inched 0.1% lower to 13,698.38. The blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500 both closed at record highs in the prior session.\nShares of airlines and cruise lines continued their recent gains. Delta Air Lines rose 2.8%, while Carnival and Royal Caribbean both gained more than 1%. Norwegian Cruise Line jumped 4.6%.\nThe market came under pressure even after more strong news on the job front. The Labor Department said Tuesday that U.S. job openings rose 268,000 to a two-year high of 7.4 million on the last day of February, according to its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting a total of 7 million.\nStocks rallied to record highs on Monday after Friday’s blowout jobs report and a surge in the gauge of services industry activity showed the economic rebound gained momentum amid accelerated vaccine rollout.\n“Markets today are also still digesting a ‘trifecta’ of strong start-of-the-month reports,” Chris Hussey, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, said in a note. “But even on the back of all of this good news, with the S&P 500 already up 8.5% ytd, today is a time for markets to ‘consolidate’ as they await the next batch of news — 1Q21 earnings season.”\nBig banks including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs kick off the new earnings season next week. First-quarter earnings are expected to be up 24.2% year over year, compared to 3.8% growth in the fourth quarter, according to Refinitiv.\nBond yields continued to fall from recent highs, easing fears of rising inflation. The 10-year Treasury yielddropped7 basis points to 1.65% on Tuesday.\nOn Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said thatthe state will reopen its economy by June 15provided that coronavirus vaccine and hospitalization cases remain stable.\n“Vaccinations are rolling out at a record clip, and historic stimulus efforts from Congress have all paved the way for continued positive market momentum,” said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade Financial.\nInvestors continue to assess President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal announced last week and its chance to become reality. While politicians on both sides of the aisle support funding to rebuild American roads and bridges, disagreements over the ultimate size of the bill and how to pay for it remain, including Biden’s plan to raise the corporate tax to 28%.\nBiden said Mondayhe is not worriedthat a corporate tax hike would hurt the economy. Conservative Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia reportedly said he opposes the proposed tax hike to a level that high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357175505,"gmtCreate":1617252366307,"gmtModify":1704697834886,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357175505","repostId":"1153467447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153467447","pubTimestamp":1617241636,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153467447?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-01 09:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here are the ETFs to help you invest in the Biden infrastructure plan","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153467447","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"As President Joe Biden unveils the massive infrastructure package known asThe American Jobs Plan, th","content":"<p>As President Joe Biden unveils the massive infrastructure package known asThe American Jobs Plan, there are some stocks and exchange-traded funds that will benefit.</p><p>MarketWatch coveredseveral of the infrastructure-specific ETFsback in November, and they may still be a great place for investors to put money to work.</p><p>But there are other funds and thematic approaches that may be a bit less obvious but which should offer excellent returns from the kind of spending Biden is proposing.

MarketWatch spoke with CFRA’s head of mutual fund and ETF research, Todd Rosenbluth, for some ideas.BroadbandIn a release outlining the plan, the Biden administration wrote, “Broadband internet is the new electricity. It is necessary for Americans to do their jobs, to participate equally in school learning, health care, and to stay connected.”To invest in this theme, Rosenbluth suggests the Defiance Next Gen Connectivity ETFFIVG,+0.74%,which has the succinct ticker FIVG.

It’s important to note, however, that SRVR ismade up of real estate investment trusts, which have some different implications for investors than straight stocks do.Water“President Biden’s plan will eliminate all lead pipes and service lines in our drinking water systems, improving the health of our country’s children and communities of color,” the proposal notes.“This is an investment theme that I thought was under the radar, but I’m pleasantly surprised to see that this ETF has a billion and a half in it,” Rosenbluth said. The fund in question is the Invesco Water Resources ETFPHO,+0.61%.Rosenbluth calls PHO “extremely diversified” withholdingsin water utilities, machinery companies, industrials and materials companies that make the equipment to improve water infrastructure, life sciences tools and much more.One added bonus of an ETF like this one, he said in an interview, is that they “tend to be cross-sector in nature. You’re surrounding the investment theme and participating in the broader ecosystem connected to that theme between the equipment and services.”The caveat is that it doesn’t fit easily into existing traditional portfolio designs. “This is not an easy replacement for an industrial sector ETF or for ones that track utilities,” Rosenbluth said. “This is a multi-shaped ETF.

One choice leads to long-term economic prosperity for all; the other doesn't.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>Take your pick.</p>\n<p>While we likely see a spark of inflation, it probably won't last long.

The average American is fighting to make ends meet as their living cost rises while wage growth remains stagnant.\nDeflation Set To Return\nThat brings us to the hard truth.\nIf we assume even the most optimistic economic outcome of the current stimulus bill, the reality is that economic growth will remain mired in its long-term downtrend.\nAs the budget deficit grows over the next few years, interest payments alone will absorb a larger chunk of tax revenue. Such comes at a time when that same dollar of tax revenue only covers the entitlement spending of the 75 million baby boomers migrating into the social safety net.\nBy the way, the only other time government income support exceeded taxes paid was during the \"Great Depression\" from 1931 to 1936.\nThe debt problem remains a massive risk to monetary and fiscal policy. If rates rise, the negative impact on an indebted economy quickly depresses activity. More importantly, the decline in monetary velocity clearly shows that deflation is a persistent threat.\n\nNo Real Options\nThere are no real options unless the system is allowed to reset painfully.\nUnfortunately, given we now have a decade of experience of watching monetary experiments only succeed in creating a massive \"wealth gap,\" maybe we should consider the alternative.\nUltimately, the Federal Reserve, and the Administration, will have to face hard choices to extricate the economy from the current\"liquidity trap.\"However, history shows that political leadership never makes hard choices until those choices get forced upon them.\nMost telling is the current economists' inability, who maintain our monetary and fiscal policies, to realize the problem of trying to \"cure a debt problem with more debt.\"\nThe Keynesian view that \"more money in people's pockets\" will drive up consumer spending, with a boost to GDP being the result, has been wrong. It hasn't happened in 40 years.\nAs Dr. Woody Brock aptly argues:\n\n \"It is truly 'American Gridlock' as the real crisis lies between the choices of 'austerity' and continued government 'largesse.' One choice leads to long-term economic prosperity for all; the other doesn't.\"\n\nTake your pick.\nWhile we likely see a spark of inflation, it probably won't last long. Eventually, the grip of the debt-driven deflationary cycle will regain its burdensome hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":336,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362807692,"gmtCreate":1614610869716,"gmtModify":1704773071701,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/362807692","repostId":"1139917940","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139917940","pubTimestamp":1614601437,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139917940?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-01 20:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"‘There is no alternative’ — Stocks’ long-running ‘TINA’ advantage could be ending, worrying traders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139917940","media":"cnbc","summary":"Will March be the death of the “TINA” trade?\nFebruary started with the reflation trade, and ended wi","content":"<div>\n<p>Will March be the death of the “TINA” trade?\nFebruary started with the reflation trade, and ended with a bond market rout that scrambled stock valuations and caused some to wonder whether this is the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/01/there-is-no-alternative-stocks-long-running-tina-advantage-could-be-ending-worrying-traders.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The sectors that tend to do worse are defensive: consumer staples, health care, utilities, and real estate.\nThat is exactly how the market is reacting. As rates rose in February, banks gained, and defensive stocks declined.\nAnother group that has been getting hurt on rising rates is technology stocks, and with good reason, Subramanian notes: \"Ultra-low rates have ballooned valuations for secular growth stocks since the financial crisis,\" she says.\nNot surprisingly, megacap tech stocks began moving down as soon as rates started rising.\nMegacap tech in February\n\nApple down 8%\nXilinx down 4%\nAMD down 4%\nFacebook down 4%\nMicrosoft down 1%\n\nThe three factors that drive stock prices\nThe Federal Reserve has been furiously pumping money into the economy, and much of that money has found its way into the stock market and has been a major factor in why equities have done so well in the last year.\nWhile \"liquidity\" (how much money is available to buy and sell stocks) is an important factor, stocks have traditionally risen on some combination of:\n\nAn increase in dividends;\nAn increase in earnings; or\nAn expansion of the P/E multiple.\n\nVanguard founder Jack Bogle used to call dividends and earnings the \"fundamental\" part of stock investing, while calling stock rises based on expanding P/E ratios the \"speculative\" part of the market, that is, it represented investors betting on whether earnings might be rising in the future.\nMuch of the recent expansion in stock prices has been driven by an expansion of the P/E multiple, which now sits at roughly 22 times 2021 earnings.\nBig-cap technology stocks in particular saw dramatic rises in P/E multiples in 2020.  Chip maker Xilinx, for example, went from 25 to 50 times forward earnings.  NVIDIA went from 30 to 60.  Even old-school big cap tech stocks saw big moves up in their P/E levels last year with Microsoft going from 25 to 35, and Apple leaping from 20 to 35.\nThese multiples have dropped as interest rates have risen in 2021.\nThe bad news is that even if bond yields don't move higher, the current move up appears to be putting a ceiling on valuations.\nIf rates keep moving up, can stocks still go higher?\nIf higher rates are indeed putting a ceiling on stock multiples, than investors will have to rely on dividend increases and genuinely rising earnings (not just expectations) to propel prices forward.\nFortunately, there is good evidence this is happening. Analysts have consistently underestimated the strength of the economic recovery. Earnings estimates for the S&P 500 for the first quarter of 2021 have risen from 16.0% to 21.6% from January 1st to February 26th and second quarter earnings estimates have also risen, from 45.7 to 50.9% in the same period.\nWith rates unsettled, expect a volatile March\nIt's a two-way battle between the bulls who say the markets can handle higher rates and those who say valuations are still too high, and between those who say the Fed is in danger of losing control of the low interest rate narrative.\nJim Paulsen from Leuthold has been a consistent bull on the rates vs. stocks debate.  \"As [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell just said, a primary reason that bond yields are rising is because 'real economic growth' (and EPS) is recovering smartly,\" he told me in an email.  \"Is a 40-basis point rise in the real yield really that worrisome given the surge recently in 2021 EPS estimates almost back to all-time record highs?\"\nLooming over every investor is the Federal Reserve. Many believe the Fed will likely come under pressure to taper its bond purchases toward the end of this year.\nThat would put a further lid on stock prices, but the manner in which it is handled could spell the difference between moving sideways, and a major drop in the markets.\n\"If the market begins to believe that the Fed lost control, and the Fed senses that, there's a chance that the Fed will overreact, so we're in a very potentially volatile period,\" Art Cashin from UBS said on our air.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":375929777,"gmtCreate":1619280066799,"gmtModify":1704722075489,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375929777","repostId":"1180713929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180713929","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619191972,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180713929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-23 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMD Stock Popped After Intel's Earnings Beat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180713929","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.What happenedShares of rising Intel (NASDA","content":"<p>Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.</p><p><b>What happened</b></p><p>Shares of rising&nbsp;<b>Intel</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:INTC)&nbsp;rival and fellow&nbsp;semiconductors&nbsp;giant&nbsp;<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:AMD)&nbsp;popped in early trading on the Nasdaq Friday, the first day afterIntel's disappointing Q1 2021 earnings report.

Analysts at Citigroup commented yesterday that Intel stock appears to be close to its peak valuation and is likely to decline as investors acclimate to the new environment in which Intel is losing, not gaining, market share.And the reason this is good news for AMD is that, according to Citi at least, it's AMD that's taking that market share away from Intel.Now whatSo what's an investor to do with all this information?At a valuation of just 13.6 times trailing earnings, Intel stock certainly looks like a relative bargain when compared with AMD stock, which trades at 38.4 times earnings. But AMD has acash-rich balance sheet, versus Intel that's carrying $13.5 billion in net debt. And analysts see Intel's earnings growing only 10% annually over the next five years, while AMD is pegged for 29.5% annualized earnings growth, according toS&P Global Market Intelligencedata.Intel may look like a value stockright now, but it's AMD that's gotall the momentum.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":433,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348924131,"gmtCreate":1617882424423,"gmtModify":1704704309939,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls!

Eventually, the grip of the debt-driven deflationary cycle will regain its burdensome hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":336,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378373636,"gmtCreate":1619006503825,"gmtModify":1704718170106,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment!Interested in this stock!!","listText":"Like and comment!Interested in this stock!!","text":"Like and comment!Interested in this stock!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378373636","repostId":"2129829074","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129829074","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1618979520,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2129829074?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-21 12:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"UiPath IPO: 5 things to know about the 'software robots' company valued at nearly $30 billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129829074","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"UiPath increased customers by 33% during pandemic by making automation software that is marketed toward employees without software-development knowledge or experience.UiPath Inc. is launching its initial public offering at a valuation close to what it received from venture-capital investors, with help from automation it cheerfully calls \"software robots.\".

That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price.

About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348924535,"gmtCreate":1617882469027,"gmtModify":1704704309117,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>looking good","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$</a>looking good","text":"$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$looking good","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a25f6d332497feaa60ba6cf3499e1843","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348924535","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":685,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341995813,"gmtCreate":1617768669632,"gmtModify":1704702877895,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment!","listText":"Like and comment!","text":"Like and comment!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341995813","repostId":"1177263079","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177263079","pubTimestamp":1617749967,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1177263079?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-07 06:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow falls nearly 100 points from a record high, S&P 500 breaks a 3-day winning streak","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177263079","media":"cnbc","summary":"U.S. stocks fell from record levels on Tuesday as the recent rally driven by signs of strong economi","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks fell from record levels on Tuesday as the recent rally driven by signs of strong economic rebound took a pause.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 96.95 points, or 0.3%, to 33,430.24....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/05/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The S&P 500 fell 0.1% to 4,073.94, pressured by tech and health care. The broad equity benchmark fell for the first time in four days. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite inched 0.1% lower to 13,698.38. The blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500 both closed at record highs in the prior session.\nShares of airlines and cruise lines continued their recent gains. Delta Air Lines rose 2.8%, while Carnival and Royal Caribbean both gained more than 1%. Norwegian Cruise Line jumped 4.6%.\nThe market came under pressure even after more strong news on the job front. The Labor Department said Tuesday that U.S. job openings rose 268,000 to a two-year high of 7.4 million on the last day of February, according to its monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting a total of 7 million.\nStocks rallied to record highs on Monday after Friday’s blowout jobs report and a surge in the gauge of services industry activity showed the economic rebound gained momentum amid accelerated vaccine rollout.\n“Markets today are also still digesting a ‘trifecta’ of strong start-of-the-month reports,” Chris Hussey, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, said in a note. “But even on the back of all of this good news, with the S&P 500 already up 8.5% ytd, today is a time for markets to ‘consolidate’ as they await the next batch of news — 1Q21 earnings season.”\nBig banks including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs kick off the new earnings season next week. First-quarter earnings are expected to be up 24.2% year over year, compared to 3.8% growth in the fourth quarter, according to Refinitiv.\nBond yields continued to fall from recent highs, easing fears of rising inflation. The 10-year Treasury yielddropped7 basis points to 1.65% on Tuesday.\nOn Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said thatthe state will reopen its economy by June 15provided that coronavirus vaccine and hospitalization cases remain stable.\n“Vaccinations are rolling out at a record clip, and historic stimulus efforts from Congress have all paved the way for continued positive market momentum,” said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade Financial.\nInvestors continue to assess President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure proposal announced last week and its chance to become reality. While politicians on both sides of the aisle support funding to rebuild American roads and bridges, disagreements over the ultimate size of the bill and how to pay for it remain, including Biden’s plan to raise the corporate tax to 28%.\nBiden said Mondayhe is not worriedthat a corporate tax hike would hurt the economy. Conservative Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia reportedly said he opposes the proposed tax hike to a level that high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357175505,"gmtCreate":1617252366307,"gmtModify":1704697834886,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357175505","repostId":"1153467447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153467447","pubTimestamp":1617241636,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153467447?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-01 09:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here are the ETFs to help you invest in the Biden infrastructure plan","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153467447","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"As President Joe Biden unveils the massive infrastructure package known asThe American Jobs Plan, th","content":"<p>As President Joe Biden unveils the massive infrastructure package known asThe American Jobs Plan, there are some stocks and exchange-traded funds that will benefit.</p><p>MarketWatch coveredseveral of the infrastructure-specific ETFsback in November, and they may still be a great place for investors to put money to work.</p><p>But there are other funds and thematic approaches that may be a bit less obvious but which should offer excellent returns from the kind of spending Biden is proposing.

Other funds to consider might be the First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index FundQCLN,+4.16%,and the ALPS Clean Energy ETF.ACES,+4.32%TransportationIt’s not a sector that’s going to see an immediate jump from the infrastructure spending plan, but transportation will get an indirect boost if materials and workers are moved around the country by plane, train, and automobile — and it will be a beneficiary later of improvements to facilities like roads, bridges, airports, and so on.Rosenbluth suggests investors consider either the iShares TransportationIYT,-0.49%Average ETF, which is market-weighted, or the SPDR S&P Transportation ETFXTN,-0.83%,which is equal-weighted.“These funds would seem to be latter cycle beneficiaries as opposed to the companies that will improve the roads and infrastructure but they are a clear beneficiary and investing is about the longer term,” Rosenbluth pointed out.Given their very different makeup, investors should look carefully at the portfolios for these two ETFs. IYT’s top three holdings, for example, are FedEx Corp.FDX,-0.66%at 12%, Norfolk Southern Corp.NSC,-0.65%at 11%, and Kansas City SouthernKSU,+1.65%making up 11% of the portfolio.Kansas City Southern is XTN’s biggest holding, but only makes up 3.2% of the portfolio. Avis Budget Group Inc.CAR,-3.28%is second, at 2.9%, and Expeditors International of Washington Inc.EXPD,+0.42%,a logistics company, is third at 2.8%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328646329,"gmtCreate":1615524369861,"gmtModify":1704784073913,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328646329","repostId":"1144029837","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144029837","pubTimestamp":1615513990,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1144029837?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-12 09:53","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"The Nasdaq's Back, and These 3 Stocks Are Flying High Again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144029837","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and theNasdaq Composite(NASDAQIN","content":"<p>The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and the<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>(NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC)has found itself on the short end of the stick.

On Memorial Day, we honor those more than 1.2 million people who've made the ultimate sacrifice throughout history to preserve the freedoms we have today, including the freedom of speech, the right to vote, and the right to chart our own financial course.</p>\n<p>For more than a century, the stock market has offered the opportunity for John and Jane Q. Public to buy stakes in great businesses and build their wealth over time. Although stocks haven't always been the top-performing asset year in and year out, they've run circles around other investment vehicles, such as housing, bonds, and gold.</p>\n<p>If you're looking to chart your path to financial independence, the following five superior stocks should be instrumental in helping you achieve your goal.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b7ed588bb7436092c79490436aa02861\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Don't let market cap be a deterrent. Great companies have large market caps precisely because they've been executing at a higher level than their competition. Even with a $1.65 trillion market cap, <b>Amazon.com</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) could easily double in value over the next couple of years.</p>\n<p>Most people are probably familiar with Amazon's dominant online marketplace. I mean, who hasn't purchased something within the past year on Amazon? According to an April report from eMarketer, Amazon now controls 40.4% of all online sales in the United States, the largest economy in the world by gross domestic product. This online success has encouraged more than 200 million people to sign up for a Prime membership, which only cements the loyalty of these shoppers to Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.</p>\n<p>Equally important is Amazon's cloud infrastructure platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last year, with the U.S. economy navigating its way through the worst economic downturn in decades, AWS grew sales by 30% and now has an annual run-rate of $54 billion in revenue. Since the margins from AWS are substantially higher than Amazon's other operating segments, AWS will be the company's key to explosive cash flow growth in the years that lie ahead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd67a054d6a438fccebe948326a3d8a8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Redfin.</span></p>\n<h2>Redfin</h2>\n<p>Another transformative stock that can help you achieve financial freedom over time is technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN). Although it's been clearly benefiting from historically low mortgage rates, and those rates won't stay near record lows forever, Redfin's combination of cost-savings and innovation are what'll make this company a major real estate player for decades to come.</p>\n<p>One the biggest differences between Redfin and traditional real estate companies can be found in the listing fees. Traditional realtors charge around 3% of the selling value of a home when representing a client. Redfin charges either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much buying and selling activity the buyer or seller has done with Redfin. An up to 2-percentage-point difference in listing fees might not sound like much, but when home prices are soaring as a result of low mortgage rates, the cost-savings Redfin can provide buyers and sellers is eye-popping. Not surprisingly, Redfin's share of the U.S. existing home sales has nearly tripled from 0.44% in 2015 to 1.14%, as of the first quarter of 2021.</p>\n<p>Redfin also provides a level of personalization not seen with traditional realty firms. For instance, the RedfinNow service is offered in select cities and involves the company purchasing homes for cash without the hassles of showings and price haggling. Meanwhile, Redfin Concierge helps homeowners with staging and improvements that'll help them get top-dollar for their residence.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df219df7b01fbc2aa008c455f28b99e5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teladoc Health</h2>\n<p>Healthcare stocks are known for their innovation, with possibly the biggest growth trend over the next decade being telemedicine. That's why telehealth kingpin <b>Teladoc Health</b> (NYSE:TDOC) can play a big role in helping you to reach financial independence.</p>\n<p>Similar to Redfin and Amazon, the pandemic created near-perfect conditions for Teladoc to thrive. With high-risk and potentially infected people stuck in their homes, physicians turned to virtual visits to keep up with patients. Teladoc handled almost 10.6 million virtual visits in 2020 after just 4.14 million in the previous year.</p>\n<p>But what folks are probably overlooking is how transformative telehealth can be. It's far more convenient for patients to stay home and consult with their doctor, and it's arguably easier for doctors to touch base with high-risk patients. The ease of communication should help lead to better patient outcomes, which health insurers will love. It also doesn't hurt that virtual visits are billed at a cheaper rate than office visits.</p>\n<p>The icing on the cake for Teladoc is its purchase of applied health signals company Livongo Health last year. Livongo is known for using artificial intelligence to send tips and nudges to chronically ill subscribers to help them lead healthier lives. It was a profitable company when purchased by Teladoc and its subscriber count has soared.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bdb43a48942466e24bc2c74fbc5033b0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Yet another storied business that can help you charge forward to financial freedom is payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA). I'll once again remind you that just because a company has a sizable market cap does not mean it can't deliver big-time long-term returns.</p>\n<p>One of the things that makes Mastercard such a great company is that it's cyclical. This means it thrives when the U.S. and global economy are expanding and it struggles when navigating a recession or economic contraction. The secret is that recessions often last just a few quarters, while periods of expansion last many, <i>many</i> years.</p>\n<p>What's more, Mastercard has shunned lending in favor of payment processing. Though it is giving up interest income and fee-earning potential during periods of expansion, this decision also means Mastercard isn't hit with credit delinquencies during recessions. Thus, it's able to bounce back from downturns much quicker than other financial stocks because it doesn't have to set capital aside for potential losses.</p>\n<p>And have I mentioned that much of the world still conducts its purchases in cash? There's a multi-decade runway for Mastercard to expand its infrastructure to underbanked regions of the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/626f702dc64e03a6186f9231d5b698b4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h2>\n<p>A fifth and final superb stock that'll put you on the path to financial independence is social media behemoth <b>Facebook</b> (NASDAQ:FB).</p>\n<p>When the curtain closed on the first quarter, Facebook claimed 3.45 billon unique monthly visitors to its owned social platforms. Approximately 2.85 billion visited its namesake site monthly, with another 600 million going to Instagram and WhatsApp. Put in another light, that's 44% of the world's entire population interacting with a Facebook asset each month -- and you wonder why advertisers are champing at the bit to place their message on the platform?</p>\n<p>Here's something else to consider: Of the $84.2 billion in ad revenue generated in 2020, almost all of it came from Facebook and Instagram.

On Memorial Day, we honor those more than 1.2 million people who've made the ultimate sacrifice throughout history to preserve the freedoms we have today, including the freedom of speech, the right to vote, and the right to chart our own financial course.\nFor more than a century, the stock market has offered the opportunity for John and Jane Q. Public to buy stakes in great businesses and build their wealth over time. Although stocks haven't always been the top-performing asset year in and year out, they've run circles around other investment vehicles, such as housing, bonds, and gold.\nIf you're looking to chart your path to financial independence, the following five superior stocks should be instrumental in helping you achieve your goal.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAmazon\nDon't let market cap be a deterrent. Great companies have large market caps precisely because they've been executing at a higher level than their competition. Even with a $1.65 trillion market cap, Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) could easily double in value over the next couple of years.\nMost people are probably familiar with Amazon's dominant online marketplace. I mean, who hasn't purchased something within the past year on Amazon? According to an April report from eMarketer, Amazon now controls 40.4% of all online sales in the United States, the largest economy in the world by gross domestic product. This online success has encouraged more than 200 million people to sign up for a Prime membership, which only cements the loyalty of these shoppers to Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.\nEqually important is Amazon's cloud infrastructure platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last year, with the U.S. economy navigating its way through the worst economic downturn in decades, AWS grew sales by 30% and now has an annual run-rate of $54 billion in revenue. Since the margins from AWS are substantially higher than Amazon's other operating segments, AWS will be the company's key to explosive cash flow growth in the years that lie ahead.\nImage source: Redfin.\nRedfin\nAnother transformative stock that can help you achieve financial freedom over time is technology-driven real estate company Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN). Although it's been clearly benefiting from historically low mortgage rates, and those rates won't stay near record lows forever, Redfin's combination of cost-savings and innovation are what'll make this company a major real estate player for decades to come.\nOne the biggest differences between Redfin and traditional real estate companies can be found in the listing fees. Traditional realtors charge around 3% of the selling value of a home when representing a client. Redfin charges either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much buying and selling activity the buyer or seller has done with Redfin. An up to 2-percentage-point difference in listing fees might not sound like much, but when home prices are soaring as a result of low mortgage rates, the cost-savings Redfin can provide buyers and sellers is eye-popping. Not surprisingly, Redfin's share of the U.S. existing home sales has nearly tripled from 0.44% in 2015 to 1.14%, as of the first quarter of 2021.\nRedfin also provides a level of personalization not seen with traditional realty firms. For instance, the RedfinNow service is offered in select cities and involves the company purchasing homes for cash without the hassles of showings and price haggling. Meanwhile, Redfin Concierge helps homeowners with staging and improvements that'll help them get top-dollar for their residence.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeladoc Health\nHealthcare stocks are known for their innovation, with possibly the biggest growth trend over the next decade being telemedicine. That's why telehealth kingpin Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) can play a big role in helping you to reach financial independence.\nSimilar to Redfin and Amazon, the pandemic created near-perfect conditions for Teladoc to thrive. With high-risk and potentially infected people stuck in their homes, physicians turned to virtual visits to keep up with patients. Teladoc handled almost 10.6 million virtual visits in 2020 after just 4.14 million in the previous year.\nBut what folks are probably overlooking is how transformative telehealth can be. It's far more convenient for patients to stay home and consult with their doctor, and it's arguably easier for doctors to touch base with high-risk patients. The ease of communication should help lead to better patient outcomes, which health insurers will love. It also doesn't hurt that virtual visits are billed at a cheaper rate than office visits.\nThe icing on the cake for Teladoc is its purchase of applied health signals company Livongo Health last year. Livongo is known for using artificial intelligence to send tips and nudges to chronically ill subscribers to help them lead healthier lives. It was a profitable company when purchased by Teladoc and its subscriber count has soared.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nYet another storied business that can help you charge forward to financial freedom is payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA). I'll once again remind you that just because a company has a sizable market cap does not mean it can't deliver big-time long-term returns.\nOne of the things that makes Mastercard such a great company is that it's cyclical. This means it thrives when the U.S. and global economy are expanding and it struggles when navigating a recession or economic contraction. The secret is that recessions often last just a few quarters, while periods of expansion last many, many years.\nWhat's more, Mastercard has shunned lending in favor of payment processing. Though it is giving up interest income and fee-earning potential during periods of expansion, this decision also means Mastercard isn't hit with credit delinquencies during recessions. Thus, it's able to bounce back from downturns much quicker than other financial stocks because it doesn't have to set capital aside for potential losses.\nAnd have I mentioned that much of the world still conducts its purchases in cash? There's a multi-decade runway for Mastercard to expand its infrastructure to underbanked regions of the world.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nFacebook\nA fifth and final superb stock that'll put you on the path to financial independence is social media behemoth Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).\nWhen the curtain closed on the first quarter, Facebook claimed 3.45 billon unique monthly visitors to its owned social platforms. Approximately 2.85 billion visited its namesake site monthly, with another 600 million going to Instagram and WhatsApp. Put in another light, that's 44% of the world's entire population interacting with a Facebook asset each month -- and you wonder why advertisers are champing at the bit to place their message on the platform?\nHere's something else to consider: Of the $84.2 billion in ad revenue generated in 2020, almost all of it came from Facebook and Instagram. Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook Messenger have been meaningfully monetized as of yet. If the company is growing by 20%-plus without running on all cylinders, imagine what it'll be capable of when these assets are monetized.\nFacebook has ample opportunity delve beyond ads, too. Sales of its Oculus virtual reality devices are soaring, and the company could generate significant growth from online/digital payments in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328642242,"gmtCreate":1615524424786,"gmtModify":1704784076341,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>waiting..","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>waiting..","text":"$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$waiting..","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbc082eaa418f20018b38fdf06bebbad","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328642242","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344180491,"gmtCreate":1618387685213,"gmtModify":1704710010065,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice looking forward!!","listText":"Nice looking forward!!","text":"Nice looking forward!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344180491","repostId":"1140319269","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345523349,"gmtCreate":1618324621781,"gmtModify":1704709216788,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes of course","listText":"Yes of course","text":"Yes of course","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345523349","repostId":"1130111087","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130111087","pubTimestamp":1618323084,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130111087?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-13 22:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Tesla Be the Next Apple?

Still others will hold the puts until expiration because they are content acquiring the stock at the put strike price.Regardless of which side of the options market appeals to you, Tesla’s earnings should be a key event, and the sell-side analysts are likely to have more salacious comments to make.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":414,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362807692,"gmtCreate":1614610869716,"gmtModify":1704773071701,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/362807692","repostId":"1139917940","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139917940","pubTimestamp":1614601437,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139917940?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-01 20:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"‘There is no alternative’ — Stocks’ long-running ‘TINA’ advantage could be ending, worrying traders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139917940","media":"cnbc","summary":"Will March be the death of the “TINA” trade?\nFebruary started with the reflation trade, and ended wi","content":"<div>\n<p>Will March be the death of the “TINA” trade?\nFebruary started with the reflation trade, and ended with a bond market rout that scrambled stock valuations and caused some to wonder whether this is the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/01/there-is-no-alternative-stocks-long-running-tina-advantage-could-be-ending-worrying-traders.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The sectors that tend to do worse are defensive: consumer staples, health care, utilities, and real estate.\nThat is exactly how the market is reacting. As rates rose in February, banks gained, and defensive stocks declined.\nAnother group that has been getting hurt on rising rates is technology stocks, and with good reason, Subramanian notes: \"Ultra-low rates have ballooned valuations for secular growth stocks since the financial crisis,\" she says.\nNot surprisingly, megacap tech stocks began moving down as soon as rates started rising.\nMegacap tech in February\n\nApple down 8%\nXilinx down 4%\nAMD down 4%\nFacebook down 4%\nMicrosoft down 1%\n\nThe three factors that drive stock prices\nThe Federal Reserve has been furiously pumping money into the economy, and much of that money has found its way into the stock market and has been a major factor in why equities have done so well in the last year.\nWhile \"liquidity\" (how much money is available to buy and sell stocks) is an important factor, stocks have traditionally risen on some combination of:\n\nAn increase in dividends;\nAn increase in earnings; or\nAn expansion of the P/E multiple.\n\nVanguard founder Jack Bogle used to call dividends and earnings the \"fundamental\" part of stock investing, while calling stock rises based on expanding P/E ratios the \"speculative\" part of the market, that is, it represented investors betting on whether earnings might be rising in the future.\nMuch of the recent expansion in stock prices has been driven by an expansion of the P/E multiple, which now sits at roughly 22 times 2021 earnings.\nBig-cap technology stocks in particular saw dramatic rises in P/E multiples in 2020.  Chip maker Xilinx, for example, went from 25 to 50 times forward earnings.  NVIDIA went from 30 to 60.  Even old-school big cap tech stocks saw big moves up in their P/E levels last year with Microsoft going from 25 to 35, and Apple leaping from 20 to 35.\nThese multiples have dropped as interest rates have risen in 2021.\nThe bad news is that even if bond yields don't move higher, the current move up appears to be putting a ceiling on valuations.\nIf rates keep moving up, can stocks still go higher?\nIf higher rates are indeed putting a ceiling on stock multiples, than investors will have to rely on dividend increases and genuinely rising earnings (not just expectations) to propel prices forward.\nFortunately, there is good evidence this is happening. Analysts have consistently underestimated the strength of the economic recovery. Earnings estimates for the S&P 500 for the first quarter of 2021 have risen from 16.0% to 21.6% from January 1st to February 26th and second quarter earnings estimates have also risen, from 45.7 to 50.9% in the same period.\nWith rates unsettled, expect a volatile March\nIt's a two-way battle between the bulls who say the markets can handle higher rates and those who say valuations are still too high, and between those who say the Fed is in danger of losing control of the low interest rate narrative.\nJim Paulsen from Leuthold has been a consistent bull on the rates vs. stocks debate.  \"As [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell just said, a primary reason that bond yields are rising is because 'real economic growth' (and EPS) is recovering smartly,\" he told me in an email.  \"Is a 40-basis point rise in the real yield really that worrisome given the surge recently in 2021 EPS estimates almost back to all-time record highs?\"\nLooming over every investor is the Federal Reserve. Many believe the Fed will likely come under pressure to taper its bond purchases toward the end of this year.\nThat would put a further lid on stock prices, but the manner in which it is handled could spell the difference between moving sideways, and a major drop in the markets.\n\"If the market begins to believe that the Fed lost control, and the Fed senses that, there's a chance that the Fed will overreact, so we're in a very potentially volatile period,\" Art Cashin from UBS said on our air.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":329971305,"gmtCreate":1615203264807,"gmtModify":1704779492459,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!!","listText":"Great!!","text":"Great!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/329971305","repostId":"1162079280","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365973660,"gmtCreate":1614694261550,"gmtModify":1704774114355,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More weakness ahead?","listText":"More weakness ahead?","text":"More weakness ahead?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ba500b1c0767b08847b5244402e6be","width":"1125","height":"3574"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/365973660","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365979571,"gmtCreate":1614694201393,"gmtModify":1704774113704,"author":{"id":"3575267139195989","authorId":"3575267139195989","name":"Adelineeex","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/365979571","repostId":"1187424506","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
