If you allow your investment thesis to play out, all three of the following stocks can blast off.</p>\n<h2>Sea Limited</h2>\n<p>Don't let anyone tell you large-cap stocks can't go to the moon. Despite its seemingly lofty $144 billion market cap, Singapore-based <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE) has three rapidly growing operating segments that could make investors rich.</p>\n<p>For the moment, Sea is generating all of its positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. The popularity of Sea's mobile games, coupled with the pandemic keeping more people in their homes, pushed the company's quarterly active users higher by 61% in the first quarter to 649 million. More importantly, 12.3% of these users were paying to play, which is considerably higher than the industry average.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, e-commerce platform Shopee is what'll generate the most buzz. For example, the $12.6 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) that was purchased on Shopee in Q1 2021 handily surpasses total GMV from all of 2018. Shopee is the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia, and it's quickly gaining traction in Brazil.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, Sea has a relatively nascent but fast-growing digital financial services segment. When the first quarter came to a close, it had more than 26 million paying mobile wallet customers. Since many of the emerging markets Sea operates in are somewhat underbanked, this digital financial services division could be a sneaky long-term growth driver.</p>\n<h2>Skillz</h2>\n<p>Another high-growth stock that could eventually go to the moon is esports and gaming company <b>Skillz</b> (NYSE:SKLZ).</p>\n<p>Admittedly, gaming is a highly competitive industry. Developing new games is a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee that a new game will be well-received. It's for all of these reasons that Skillz didn't go the traditional development route. Rather, it operates a gaming platform that allows players to compete against each other for cash prizes. Maintaining this platform doesn't cost an arm and a leg (gross margin has consistently been 95%), and both Skillz and gaming developers get to keep a cut of the cash prizes.</p>\n<p>When the first quarter came to a close, Skillz had approximately 467,000 monthly active users (MAUs) that were paying to pay on its platform. That's 17% of its MAU base. According to Wappier Gaming Apps, the conversion rate for paying gamers ranged from 1.6% to 2% in 2020. In other words, Skillz is converting casual gamers to paying members at a considerably higher rate than other gaming companies.</p>\n<p>Skillz also has an incredibly lucrative partnership in its back pocket. In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.</p>\n<p>Though Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF). According to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data, the U.S. pot industry could be generating north of $41 billion in annual sales by 2025.</p>\n<p>Whereas most U.S. multistate operators are angling to have a presence in as many legalized markets as possible, Trulieve has taken on a strategy that looked odd at first, but has paid off incredibly well. Of the 91 dispensaries it had open in early July, 85 of them were located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. By absolutely saturating the Sunshine State, Trulieve has effectively gobbled up around half of all dried cannabis flower and oils market share. At the same time, its marketing costs have been kept low, pushing the company to 13 consecutive quarters of profitability.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake about it, Trulieve does have aspirations of moving beyond Florida. For instance, it recently announced the largest U.S. cannabis acquisition in history -- a $2.1 billion all-stock deal to acquire multistate operator <b>Harvest Health & Recreation</b> (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest has a focus on five states, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of which is Florida. This means Trulieve's presence in the Sunshine State will soon get even bigger.</p>\n<p>However, the real lure of this deal is the 15 dispensaries Harvest Health operates in its home market of Arizona, a state that legalized recreational weed in November. Trulieve shouldn't have any problem taking its Florida blueprint and applying it in other key markets. This gives it a good chance to go to the moon 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>It's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon</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\">\nIt's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-16 21:29 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/16/its-game-over-for-amc-these-stocks-can-go-to-moon/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When 2021 comes to a close, it'll undoubtedly be remembered for the way retail investors made their presence known on Wall Street.

Any objective observer would view the company as being in very dire straits; after all, AMC is saddled with billions in debt, reeling from the global pandemic, and facing a highly uncertain recovery amid the streaming revolution and compressed theatrical windows. Of course, this being the year of the meme stock and Reddit-fueled speculation, the stock is up a massive 2,350% this year.</p>\n<p>Retail investors apparently see the stock as a reopening play and a short squeeze candidate, while also also betting their online community will keep buying and holding the stock.</p>\n<p>That's a dubious proposition, however, as it's really, really difficult to see how AMC's intrinsic value is now worth anything close to its current share price.</p>\n<p>Of course, given its inflated share price, AMC does have a chance to raise money to help it through this transition period and potentially transform the company. But its shareholders are preventing management from doing what it needs to do, hurting their own cause in the process.</p>\n<h2>AMC pulls the plug on more share sales</h2>\n<p>On July 6, AMC filed a document with the SEC saying it would not seek shareholder approval to sell another 25 million shares at the upcoming July 29 annual shareholder meeting. CEO Adam Aron, who has taken great pains to cultivate an online relationship with his retail shareholder base, took to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> to say that due to the significant opposition from many shareholders to further dilution, the company would be scrapping that proposal:</p>\n<blockquote>\n It's no secret I think shareholders should authorize 25 million more AMC shares. But what YOU think is important to us. Many yes, many no. AMC does not want to proceed with such a split. So, we're cancelling the July vote on more shares. And no more such requests in 2021. 1 of 2 pic.twitter.com/yNLhBAU5y1— Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) July 6, 2021\n</blockquote>\n<p>Kudos to Aron for being responsive to his retail shareholders, who have already helped out the company tremendously by bidding up the stock and allowing the company to raise about $1.25 billion last quarter. Obviously, he needs to keep the retail message boards happy and AMC's stock high for as long as possible.</p>\n<p>However, shareholders really should have approved another 25 million shares, which would have raised a significant amount -- basically another $1.25 billion at these prices, with minimal further dilution.

Any objective observer would view the company as being in very dire straits; after all, AMC is saddled with billions in debt, reeling from the global pandemic, and facing a highly uncertain recovery amid the streaming revolution and compressed theatrical windows. Of course, this being the year of the meme stock and Reddit-fueled speculation, the stock is up a massive 2,350% this year.\nRetail investors apparently see the stock as a reopening play and a short squeeze candidate, while also also betting their online community will keep buying and holding the stock.\nThat's a dubious proposition, however, as it's really, really difficult to see how AMC's intrinsic value is now worth anything close to its current share price.\nOf course, given its inflated share price, AMC does have a chance to raise money to help it through this transition period and potentially transform the company. But its shareholders are preventing management from doing what it needs to do, hurting their own cause in the process.\nAMC pulls the plug on more share sales\nOn July 6, AMC filed a document with the SEC saying it would not seek shareholder approval to sell another 25 million shares at the upcoming July 29 annual shareholder meeting. CEO Adam Aron, who has taken great pains to cultivate an online relationship with his retail shareholder base, took to Twitter to say that due to the significant opposition from many shareholders to further dilution, the company would be scrapping that proposal:\n\n It's no secret I think shareholders should authorize 25 million more AMC shares. But what YOU think is important to us. Many yes, many no. AMC does not want to proceed with such a split. So, we're cancelling the July vote on more shares. And no more such requests in 2021. 1 of 2 pic.twitter.com/yNLhBAU5y1— Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) July 6, 2021\n\nKudos to Aron for being responsive to his retail shareholders, who have already helped out the company tremendously by bidding up the stock and allowing the company to raise about $1.25 billion last quarter. Obviously, he needs to keep the retail message boards happy and AMC's stock high for as long as possible.\nHowever, shareholders really should have approved another 25 million shares, which would have raised a significant amount -- basically another $1.25 billion at these prices, with minimal further dilution. It's a massive unforced error.\nDespite massive dilution already, AMC still could use more cash\nI don't think retail investors quite understand the predicament in which AMC still finds itself -- even after all the money it's raised. Although the domestic June box office has bounced back to top $1 billion for the first time since February 2020, it's still well short of pre-pandemic levels.

It’s not even close (about $11,000 per capita versus $5,000 to $7,000 for most of Europe). Yet, we have <b><i>lower life expectancy</i></b> (78.7 years versus 80.7 years for some European countries), <b><i>more health problems</i></b> (28% of Americans have 2 or more chronic conditions), and <b><i>a ton of unhappy customers</i></b> (81% of U.S. consumers are dissatisfied with their healthcare experience).</p>\n<p>This needs to change. U.S. healthcare has to get cheaper and deliver better outcomes for a better future.</p>\n<p><b>Clover</b> (NASDAQ:<b>CLOV</b>) could be the company that pioneers this long overdue healthcare revolution.</p>\n<p>The core idea of Clover is very simple: In short, <u>replace the healthcare administration system with artificial intelligence (AI)</u>.</p>\n<p>To do so, Clover has consumers fill out simple surveys to collect a bunch of healthcare data, which it then throws into a machine learning model called “Clover Assistant” and outputs a bunch of personalized care routines so that doctors can make informed decisions about their patients.</p>\n<p>This process makes healthcare <b><i>cheaper</i></b>, because it eliminates all the profit-takers in the healthcare administration supply chain and replaces them with a scalable AI technology.</p>\n<p>It also <b><i>improves patient outcomes</i></b>, because it leans into the power of AI to make smarter, data-driven healthcare decisions personalized at the individual level.</p>\n<p>While that idea sounds simple, the execution of it is very difficult due to the enormity of healthcare data in the world and the difficulty in processing all that data to glean valuable insights… <u>but that’s where Clover shines</u>.</p>\n<p>Clover has developed the industry’s best machine learning models for healthcare, which is why folks on Clover healthcare plans visit their doctors ~20% less and spend ~20% less on said visits.</p>\n<p>It’s cheaper, better healthcare.</p>\n<p>Clover is first applying this novel AI-powered healthcare administration process to older folks, for which it has developed a Clover-powered Medicare Advantage plan that is the fastest-growing Medicare Advantage plan in America… by a long shot.</p>\n<p>But that’s just the start.

To be sure, the stock has gone parabolic recently as retail traders have targeted the name. This won’t last. The hype will fade.

Yet, we have lower life expectancy (78.7 years versus 80.7 years for some European countries), more health problems (28% of Americans have 2 or more chronic conditions), and a ton of unhappy customers (81% of U.S. consumers are dissatisfied with their healthcare experience).\nThis needs to change. U.S. healthcare has to get cheaper and deliver better outcomes for a better future.\nClover (NASDAQ:CLOV) could be the company that pioneers this long overdue healthcare revolution.\nThe core idea of Clover is very simple: In short, replace the healthcare administration system with artificial intelligence (AI).\nTo do so, Clover has consumers fill out simple surveys to collect a bunch of healthcare data, which it then throws into a machine learning model called “Clover Assistant” and outputs a bunch of personalized care routines so that doctors can make informed decisions about their patients.\nThis process makes healthcare cheaper, because it eliminates all the profit-takers in the healthcare administration supply chain and replaces them with a scalable AI technology.\nIt also improves patient outcomes, because it leans into the power of AI to make smarter, data-driven healthcare decisions personalized at the individual level.\nWhile that idea sounds simple, the execution of it is very difficult due to the enormity of healthcare data in the world and the difficulty in processing all that data to glean valuable insights… but that’s where Clover shines.\nClover has developed the industry’s best machine learning models for healthcare, which is why folks on Clover healthcare plans visit their doctors ~20% less and spend ~20% less on said visits.\nIt’s cheaper, better healthcare.\nClover is first applying this novel AI-powered healthcare administration process to older folks, for which it has developed a Clover-powered Medicare Advantage plan that is the fastest-growing Medicare Advantage plan in America… by a long shot.\nBut that’s just the start. Clover Assistant is scalable. It can be applied across every facet of the healthcare industry where there are inefficiencies in administration. And, to that extent, this is a company in the early stages of redefining a $3.65 TRILLION market.\nYet, Clover is worth just about $5 billion today…\nObviously, the long-term upside potential here is huge. To be sure, the stock has gone parabolic recently as retail traders have targeted the name. This won’t last. The hype will fade. And the stock will fall.\nBut… when it does… that may be an awesome time to buy the dip for the long haul, because underneath the meme mania, there’s an AI-powered healthcare technology company here that’s doing some really exciting things.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":140752438,"gmtCreate":1625676238724,"gmtModify":1703746311200,"author":{"id":"3575368558899422","authorId":"3575368558899422","name":"Jasonjun92","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0990e4f3ae86b7d4afba745b0fcfc37f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575368558899422","authorIdStr":"3575368558899422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"FUD","listText":"FUD","text":"FUD","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/140752438","repostId":"2149160390","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":170545467,"gmtCreate":1626444089059,"gmtModify":1703760315163,"author":{"id":"3575368558899422","authorId":"3575368558899422","name":"Jasonjun92","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0990e4f3ae86b7d4afba745b0fcfc37f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575368558899422","authorIdStr":"3575368558899422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Felt motley fool..really fools gg for ur subscriber?..","listText":"Felt motley fool..really fools gg for ur subscriber?..","text":"Felt motley fool..really fools gg for ur subscriber?..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/170545467","repostId":"2151450981","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":396,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140752309,"gmtCreate":1625676154201,"gmtModify":1703746310051,"author":{"id":"3575368558899422","authorId":"3575368558899422","name":"Jasonjun92","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0990e4f3ae86b7d4afba745b0fcfc37f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575368558899422","authorIdStr":"3575368558899422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy more while deep","listText":"Buy more while deep","text":"Buy more while deep","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/140752309","repostId":"1133802649","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133802649","pubTimestamp":1625667870,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133802649?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-07 22:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A So-Called “Meme Stock” That’s Actually Worth the Hype","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133802649","media":"investorplace","summary":"Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.\nWe’ve all heard the saying several times, and we’ve al","content":"<p>Don’t throw the <b><i>baby</i></b> out with the <b><i>bath water</i></b>.</p>\n<p>We’ve all heard the saying several times, and we’ve all heard it applied to many different situations in many different industries.
