Investors looking ahead to the end of the year might have some reason for hope, though history is only a rough guide.</p><p>The S&P 500 was down 19.8% year-to-date through Tuesday's close, which would be its worst first half since 1970, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The large-cap benchmark is down 20.3% from its record finish on Jan. 3. The index earlier this month ended more than 20% below that early January record, confirming that the pandemic bull market -- as widely defined -- had ended on Jan. 3, marking the start of a bear.</p><p>The S&P 500 has bounced around 4% off its 2022 low close of 3,666.77 set on June 16.</p><p>Data compiled by Dow Jones Market Data shows that the S&P 500 has bounced back after past first-half falls of 15% or more. The sample size, however, is small, with only five instances going back to 1932 (see table below).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35eaa5fc92d1e15ba08af1ec94393bc4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"445\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The S&P 500 did rise in each of those instances, with an average rise of 23.66% and a median rise of 15.25%.</p><p>Investors, however, may also want to pay attention to metrics around bear markets, particularly with the will-it-or-won't-it speculation around whether the Federal Reserve's aggressive tightening agenda will sink the economy into recession.</p><p>Indeed, an analysis by Wells Fargo Investment Institute found that recessions accompanied by a recession, on average, lasted 20 months and produced a negative 37.8% return. Bear markets outside a recession lasted 6 months on average -- nearly the length of the current episode -- and saw an average return of -28.9%. Taken together, the average bear market lasted an average of 16 month and produced a -35.1% return.</p><p>Other major indexes are also set to log historic first-half declines.

The latest quarterly update comes against a backdrop of a contracting Chinese economy, supply chain woes and the recent zero-COVID lockdowns.Taking these factors into consideration, ahead of the print, Baird’s 5-star analyst Colin Sebastian thinks some revisions are in order on the outlook for F23.The analyst now anticipates F1Q23 (June) revenues will increase by 4% year-over-year to reach ¥214.7 billion, below the prior forecast of ¥228.4 billion. This factors in the China commerce and international commerce segments dialing in revenue of ¥144.8 billion and ¥15.9 billion, respectively, vs. the ¥157.4 billion and ¥16.7 billion expected before. Sebastian’s full year forecast now calls for revenue of ¥945.7 billion, below the previous estimate of ¥959.3 billion.The new revised estimates “primarily reflect the deceleration in e-commerce and retail sales reported by China's NBS for April.” “Additionally,” Sebastian explained, “we believe that additional headwinds from recent pandemic-related lock downs in certain cities could impact New Retail and advertising revenues.”There are also respective reductions to the F1Q and FY23 EBITA estimates; these now stand at ¥45 billion (representing a 20% margin) and ¥149.8 billion (15.8% margin vs. the prior 18.6%).Despite the “near-term headwinds,” the company's continued focus on innovation and product development is encouraging and there have been signs the operating climate for Internet companies in China may be “normalizing.”“If that proves accurate,” says the analyst, “we believe there could be material upside in shares over the long term. For now, however, we think management's tone could remain cautious with respect to near-term growth and margins.”Other things to look out for on the earnings call include the recent lockdowns’ effect on the supply chain, the state of the regulatory environment, the progress of Taobao Deals and Taocaicai, growth and margins of the Cloud segment and the company’s capex plans.All in all, Sebastian reiterated an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating on BABA shares along with a $144 price target.

First it was March, then May, then June, then September, for when experts would say the crash would come. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly. Is it easy to predict? Hardly. The more you hear people talk about it, the more you see it, the more convincing a possible crash gets - yet it's still nothing to fear. There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.</p>\n<p>An Abundance of 'Warnings'</p>\n<p>Simply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Harry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.</li>\n <li>Jeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.</li>\n <li>John Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a >60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Yet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.</p>\n<p>Four Factors</p>\n<p>While there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.</p>\n<p>Excessive Speculation</p>\n<p>Speculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.</p>\n<p>While single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dccc290398aed22a11cf41ae63a85bce\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"453\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Margin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.</p>\n<p>Back in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.</p>\n<p>Speculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.</p>\n<p>Growth Slowdown</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/034a916ba93dac9b099409c5906bee37\" tg-width=\"631\" tg-height=\"563\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromWeForumvia Statista</span></p>\n<p>The economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.</p>\n<p>Unemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.</p>\n<p>The market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.</p>\n<p>Peak Valuations</p>\n<p>Arguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/388dd5417e610209de84d8a86ca86f91\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromBloomberg</span></p>\n<p>February and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising >100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall >50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.</p>\n<p>SPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed. Many of the SPACs that have come public in the past year exhibit those same features - a high investor appetite, ability to raise necessary cash from such appetite, multi-billion dollar valuations, and minimal revenues. General IPOs are also red-hot, with hundreds of companies already joining the markets this year, as investor snap them up quickly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a5ace269e2c48c6ad6bb5180ce32e48\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"535\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Tech stocks that have performed poorly since that 'peak' from January through March include some of those recent IPOs like C3.ai (AI), Lemonade (LMND), Snowflake (SNOW), and others including Appian (APPN) and Fastly (FSLY); aside from Snowflake, which is down 20%, the rest have fallen over 40% from those highs as high P/S multiples reset. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Zscaler (ZS) have managed to maintain such a high multiple with growing cybersecurity tailwinds, and have performed about flat over the same period. While the former six do still have strong, positive growth prospects, sustaining a high multiple is never guaranteed, and a reset that shocks the market shocks these stocks significantly, as seen in their performance.</p>\n<p>But these peak valuations also spread to the blue-chips, and to FAANGM - Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). This basket's PE valuations, on a weighted-by-market-cap basis, sat at 45x earnings in February, pushed higher by Amazon and Apple; at the moment, it sits just above 41.5x. This plays a role in exaggerating the overall S&P PE due to the heavy weighting the group has in the index, which is over 2 standard deviations above its average.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/136219a2e6ea016fd91597c989fa1a9e\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"312\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromCurrent Market Valuation</span></p>\n<p>And as a whole, valuations across the market are becoming more stretched, with each decile seeing its most extreme valuations on a PS basis, topping that of 2000. While high-beta, high-multiple stocks (primarily tech) in decline 10 have exceeded their 2000s level in a steep climb, decile 8 and 9 (likely more stable stocks given historical PS of 2x-4x) have seen that ratio double since 2011, with a surge in 2020 taking the deciles far past averages. While the exact components that make up each decile are unknown, are the drivers in place to solidify such a rapid expansion since 2019? For some stocks, possibly, but for others, it's not as likely. It could be down to a combination of high levels of bullishness in the market, FOMO, stimulus and low rates allowing stocks to run higher even with less fundamental backing.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8ab71b923769effdde5d09e1d3cd3fd\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"354\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromBusiness Insider</span></p>\n<p>Low Interest Rates</p>\n<p>The fourth factor here is low interest rates that begin to rise, which ultimately affect the flow/flood of money into the markets, of which the Fed has supported since 2020. Some experts are seeing that equities in general are exhibiting signs of peak valuations and irrational exuberance, but that can be sustained as long as 'stimulus' in the form of Fed support remains.</p>\n<p>When interest rates are kept lower for an extended period, it increases the chances of bubbles being formed in different asset classes. Thus, one of the biggest risks becomes inflation, the risk that the market is currently digesting.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e8cb16f3b4b962cfa8adbffa4127b92\" tg-width=\"960\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromJP Morgan</span></p>\n<p>Although rates are still low as of right now, the Fed has been facing some different viewpoints as to when it will need to start raising rates to combat inflation. Some see rates as early asnext year,others see it remaining in 2023. A rise in interest rates can spark a crash by removing excess liquidity from the markets (removing the ease of access to liquidity). The Fed has reiterated its belief that inflation is stilltransitory, but a quarter-long spell of higher-than-expected inflation data (just like what has occurred this week with the CPI and PPI rising ahead of expectations), could definitely force a rethinking of rate hikes and shake the market.</p>\n<p>Is It Time To Prepare?</p>\n<p>Signs and signals of bubbly conditions are still here, and preparedness for the possible outcomes and securing a portfolio against those outcomes is a smart idea. All it takes is one catalyst to knock equities back from high valuations and back to lower levels; sings in bonds and the dollar are starting to show rising expectations of tapering and the eventual end of Fed asset-buying and support. While there are numerous experts warning of a crash, it can be nearly impossible to time, and while evidence many of them provide is sound, such claims of<i>x%</i>drops in<i>x</i>month are speculative in nature, unless that individual knows something unknown to the rest of the market.</p>\n<p>When facing a potential bubble or crash situation, hedging portfolios is key in minimizing losses and mitigating downside risk. Derivatives on index ETFs like SPY and DIA could offset potential selloffs in the market, while theQQQcan protect against losses in high-flying tech. For example, a quick case study for an SPY put play for Sept. 17: you assume an expectation for a 10% decline in the SPY to ~$390, and hedging your portfolio could come through a long put for ~$300, a $410/$390/$370 long butterfly for ~$100, or a $410/$390 put debit spread for ~$200. While the first trade has the highest return potential, it brings the highest risk, as the latter two strategies can start to profit on moves closer to -7%. For a $50,000 portfolio, a ~1% hedge could allow the purchase of 3 debit spreads, providing a maximum return of ~$6,000, or 12% of the portfolio value, which could effectively mitigate losses should the SPY fall to or below $390.<i>Note that options strategies are inherently risky, and each investor's risk appetite is different, and such a strategy may not be suitable for everyone. This is merely a case study and shows the potential that a small percentage hedge can have in mitigating downside risk. Be aware of risks to timing and theta decay, and options becoming worthless.</i></p>\n<p>Again, it's difficult to identify and even more difficult to time a bubble, given that the market can remain 'wrong' much longer than you can wait to be right. There's still room to run further with Fed support, but such signs of a potential bubble - excessive speculation, growth slowdown, peak valuations, and low interest rates rising - require awareness and preparedness. Yet it's nothing to fear. Small hedges can minimize downside risk, especially through options if timed well. Understanding the risks to high-flying growth stocks and those trading at or near peak valuations, regardless of sector, is important - many of the IPOs and SPACs have seen high valuations and minimal revenues, leading to exorbitant PS multiples pricing in years of growth, much like 2000.

First it was March, then May, then June, then September, for when experts would say the crash would come. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly. Is it easy to predict? Hardly. The more you hear people talk about it, the more you see it, the more convincing a possible crash gets - yet it's still nothing to fear. There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.\nAn Abundance of 'Warnings'\nSimply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.\n\nHarry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.\nJeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.\nJohn Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a >60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"\n\nYet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.\nFour Factors\nWhile there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.\nExcessive Speculation\nSpeculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.\nWhile single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.\n\nMargin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.\nBack in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.\nSpeculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.\nGrowth Slowdown\nGraphic fromWeForumvia Statista\nThe economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.\nUnemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.\nThe market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.\nPeak Valuations\nArguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.\nGraphic fromBloomberg\nFebruary and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising >100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall >50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.\nSPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed. Many of the SPACs that have come public in the past year exhibit those same features - a high investor appetite, ability to raise necessary cash from such appetite, multi-billion dollar valuations, and minimal revenues. General IPOs are also red-hot, with hundreds of companies already joining the markets this year, as investor snap them up quickly.\nData byYCharts\nTech stocks that have performed poorly since that 'peak' from January through March include some of those recent IPOs like C3.ai (AI), Lemonade (LMND), Snowflake (SNOW), and others including Appian (APPN) and Fastly (FSLY); aside from Snowflake, which is down 20%, the rest have fallen over 40% from those highs as high P/S multiples reset. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Zscaler (ZS) have managed to maintain such a high multiple with growing cybersecurity tailwinds, and have performed about flat over the same period. While the former six do still have strong, positive growth prospects, sustaining a high multiple is never guaranteed, and a reset that shocks the market shocks these stocks significantly, as seen in their performance.\nBut these peak valuations also spread to the blue-chips, and to FAANGM - Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). This basket's PE valuations, on a weighted-by-market-cap basis, sat at 45x earnings in February, pushed higher by Amazon and Apple; at the moment, it sits just above 41.5x. This plays a role in exaggerating the overall S&P PE due to the heavy weighting the group has in the index, which is over 2 standard deviations above its average.\nGraphic fromCurrent Market Valuation\nAnd as a whole, valuations across the market are becoming more stretched, with each decile seeing its most extreme valuations on a PS basis, topping that of 2000. While high-beta, high-multiple stocks (primarily tech) in decline 10 have exceeded their 2000s level in a steep climb, decile 8 and 9 (likely more stable stocks given historical PS of 2x-4x) have seen that ratio double since 2011, with a surge in 2020 taking the deciles far past averages. While the exact components that make up each decile are unknown, are the drivers in place to solidify such a rapid expansion since 2019? For some stocks, possibly, but for others, it's not as likely. It could be down to a combination of high levels of bullishness in the market, FOMO, stimulus and low rates allowing stocks to run higher even with less fundamental backing.\nGraphic fromBusiness Insider\nLow Interest Rates\nThe fourth factor here is low interest rates that begin to rise, which ultimately affect the flow/flood of money into the markets, of which the Fed has supported since 2020. Some experts are seeing that equities in general are exhibiting signs of peak valuations and irrational exuberance, but that can be sustained as long as 'stimulus' in the form of Fed support remains.\nWhen interest rates are kept lower for an extended period, it increases the chances of bubbles being formed in different asset classes. Thus, one of the biggest risks becomes inflation, the risk that the market is currently digesting.\nGraphic fromJP Morgan\nAlthough rates are still low as of right now, the Fed has been facing some different viewpoints as to when it will need to start raising rates to combat inflation. Some see rates as early asnext year,others see it remaining in 2023. A rise in interest rates can spark a crash by removing excess liquidity from the markets (removing the ease of access to liquidity). The Fed has reiterated its belief that inflation is stilltransitory, but a quarter-long spell of higher-than-expected inflation data (just like what has occurred this week with the CPI and PPI rising ahead of expectations), could definitely force a rethinking of rate hikes and shake the market.\nIs It Time To Prepare?\nSigns and signals of bubbly conditions are still here, and preparedness for the possible outcomes and securing a portfolio against those outcomes is a smart idea. All it takes is one catalyst to knock equities back from high valuations and back to lower levels; sings in bonds and the dollar are starting to show rising expectations of tapering and the eventual end of Fed asset-buying and support. While there are numerous experts warning of a crash, it can be nearly impossible to time, and while evidence many of them provide is sound, such claims ofx%drops inxmonth are speculative in nature, unless that individual knows something unknown to the rest of the market.\nWhen facing a potential bubble or crash situation, hedging portfolios is key in minimizing losses and mitigating downside risk. Derivatives on index ETFs like SPY and DIA could offset potential selloffs in the market, while theQQQcan protect against losses in high-flying tech. For example, a quick case study for an SPY put play for Sept. 17: you assume an expectation for a 10% decline in the SPY to ~$390, and hedging your portfolio could come through a long put for ~$300, a $410/$390/$370 long butterfly for ~$100, or a $410/$390 put debit spread for ~$200. While the first trade has the highest return potential, it brings the highest risk, as the latter two strategies can start to profit on moves closer to -7%. For a $50,000 portfolio, a ~1% hedge could allow the purchase of 3 debit spreads, providing a maximum return of ~$6,000, or 12% of the portfolio value, which could effectively mitigate losses should the SPY fall to or below $390.Note that options strategies are inherently risky, and each investor's risk appetite is different, and such a strategy may not be suitable for everyone. This is merely a case study and shows the potential that a small percentage hedge can have in mitigating downside risk. Be aware of risks to timing and theta decay, and options becoming worthless.\nAgain, it's difficult to identify and even more difficult to time a bubble, given that the market can remain 'wrong' much longer than you can wait to be right. There's still room to run further with Fed support, but such signs of a potential bubble - excessive speculation, growth slowdown, peak valuations, and low interest rates rising - require awareness and preparedness. Yet it's nothing to fear. Small hedges can minimize downside risk, especially through options if timed well. Understanding the risks to high-flying growth stocks and those trading at or near peak valuations, regardless of sector, is important - many of the IPOs and SPACs have seen high valuations and minimal revenues, leading to exorbitant PS multiples pricing in years of growth, much like 2000. At the end of the day, if or when a crash happens, the opportunities to buy the 'best-of-the-best' companies at very attractive levels, and can provide generous returns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":593,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152858271,"gmtCreate":1625282809493,"gmtModify":1703739943083,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Same old story.","listText":"Same old story.","text":"Same old story.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/152858271","repostId":"1188153141","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188153141","pubTimestamp":1625276221,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188153141?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-03 09:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Suze Orman worries about a market crash — here's what you should do","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188153141","media":"MoneyWise","summary":"As stock markets continue setting records, fallout from COVID-19 continues to create problems for th","content":"<p>As stock markets continue setting records, fallout from COVID-19 continues to create problems for the economy.</p>\n<p>That clash has worried investing experts, including Suze Orman, who's gone so far as to say she’s now preparing for an inevitable market crash.</p>\n<p>And a famous measurement popularized by Warren Buffett — known as the Buffett Indicator — shows Orman might be onto something.</p>\n<p>Here’s an explanation of where the concern is coming from and some techniques you can use tokeep your investment portfolio growingeven if the market goes south.</p>\n<p><b>What does Suze Orman think?</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be8dc3ad363faad96bc575a22235562d\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Mediapunch/Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Suze Orman has avidly watched the market for decades.

Buy low</b></p>\n<p>Part of what upsets Orman so much about the furor over meme stocks like GameStop is it goes completely against the average investor’s interests.</p>\n<p>“All of you have your heads screwed on backwards,” she says. “All you want is for these markets to go up and up and up. What good is that going to do you?”</p>\n<p>She points out the only extra money most people have goes towardinvesting for retirementin their 401(k) or IRA plans.</p>\n<p>Because you probably don’t plan to touch that money for decades, the best long-term strategy is to buy low. That way, your dollar will go much further now, leaving plenty of room for growth over the next 20, 30 or 40 years.</p>\n<p><b>2. Invest on a schedule</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4102f8a6d5002090743b1cbded32ef9\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">katjen / Shutterstock</p>\n<p>While she prefers to buy low, Orman doesn’t recommend you stop investing completely when the market goes up.</p>\n<p>She wants casual investors to not get caught up in the daily ups and downs of the market.</p>\n<p>In fact, cheering for downturns now may be your best bet at getting a larger piece of very profitable investments — like some lucky investors were able to do back in 2007 and 2008.</p>\n<p>“When the market went down, down, down you could buy things at nothing,” says Orman. “And now look at them 15 years later.”</p>\n<p>She suggests you set up a dollar-cost averaging strategy, which means you invest your money in equal portions at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s fluctuations.</p>\n<p>This kind of approach is easy to implement with any of the many investing apps currently available to DIY investors.</p>\n<p>There are even apps that willautomatically invest your spare changeby rounding up your debit and credit card purchases to the nearest dollar.</p>\n<p><b>3. Diversify with fractional shares</b></p>\n<p>To help weather dips in specific corners of the market, Orman suggests you diversify your investments — balance your portfolio with investments in many different types of assets and sectors of the economy.</p>\n<p>Orman particularly recommends fractional-share investing. This approach allows you to buy a slice of a share for a big-name company that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.</p>\n<p>With the help of apopular stock-trading tool, anyone at any budget can afford the fractional share strategy.</p>\n<p>“The sooner you begin, the more money you will have,” says Orman. “Just don’t stop, and when these markets go down, you should be so happy because your dollars find more shares.”</p>\n<p>“And the more shares you have, the more money you’ll have 20, 40, 50 years from now.”</p>\n<p><b>What else you can do</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e79c6fd1f8fa6e3a7c3a6c94f1e14b5\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">goodluz / Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Whether or not a big crash is around the corner, investors who are still decades out from retirement can make that work for them, Orman said in theCNBC video.</p>\n<p>First, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

She knows ups and downs are to be expected, but what she’s seeing happen with investment fads like GameStop has her concerned.\n“I don’t like what I see happening in the market right now,” Orman said in a video for CNBC. “The economy has been horrible, but the stock market has been going.”\nWhile investing is as easy now asusing a smartphone app, Orman is concerned about where we can go from these record highs.\nAnd even with stimulus checks, which are still going out, and the real estate market breaking its own records last year, Orman worries about what will come with the coronavirus — especially as new variants continue to pop up.\nWhat's more, she feels it’s just been too long since the last crash to stay this high much longer.\n“This reminds me of 2000 all over again,” Orman says.\nThe Buffett Indicator\nLarry W Smith/EPA/Shutterstock\nOne metric Warren Buffett uses to assess the market so regularly that it’s been named after him has been flashing red for long enough that market watchers are starting to wonder if it’s an outdated tool.\nBut the Buffett Indicator, a measurement of the ratio of the stock market’s total value against U.S. economic output, continues to climb to previously unseen levels.\nAnd those in the know are wondering if it's a sign that we’re about to see a hard fall.\nHow to prepare for a crashFreedomz / Shutterstock\nOrman has three recommendations for setting up a simple investment strategy to help you successfully navigate any sharp turns in the market.\n1. Buy low\nPart of what upsets Orman so much about the furor over meme stocks like GameStop is it goes completely against the average investor’s interests.\n“All of you have your heads screwed on backwards,” she says. “All you want is for these markets to go up and up and up. What good is that going to do you?”\nShe points out the only extra money most people have goes towardinvesting for retirementin their 401(k) or IRA plans.\nBecause you probably don’t plan to touch that money for decades, the best long-term strategy is to buy low. That way, your dollar will go much further now, leaving plenty of room for growth over the next 20, 30 or 40 years.\n2. Invest on a schedule\nkatjen / Shutterstock\nWhile she prefers to buy low, Orman doesn’t recommend you stop investing completely when the market goes up.\nShe wants casual investors to not get caught up in the daily ups and downs of the market.\nIn fact, cheering for downturns now may be your best bet at getting a larger piece of very profitable investments — like some lucky investors were able to do back in 2007 and 2008.\n“When the market went down, down, down you could buy things at nothing,” says Orman. “And now look at them 15 years later.”\nShe suggests you set up a dollar-cost averaging strategy, which means you invest your money in equal portions at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s fluctuations.\nThis kind of approach is easy to implement with any of the many investing apps currently available to DIY investors.\nThere are even apps that willautomatically invest your spare changeby rounding up your debit and credit card purchases to the nearest dollar.\n3. Diversify with fractional shares\nTo help weather dips in specific corners of the market, Orman suggests you diversify your investments — balance your portfolio with investments in many different types of assets and sectors of the economy.\nOrman particularly recommends fractional-share investing. This approach allows you to buy a slice of a share for a big-name company that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.\nWith the help of apopular stock-trading tool, anyone at any budget can afford the fractional share strategy.\n“The sooner you begin, the more money you will have,” says Orman. “Just don’t stop, and when these markets go down, you should be so happy because your dollars find more shares.”\n“And the more shares you have, the more money you’ll have 20, 40, 50 years from now.”\nWhat else you can do\ngoodluz / Shutterstock\nWhether or not a big crash is around the corner, investors who are still decades out from retirement can make that work for them, Orman said in theCNBC video.\nFirst, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Since the onset of the pandemic, Orman now recommends everyone have an emergency fund that can cover their expenses for a full year.\nThen, to set yourself up fora comfortable retirement, she suggests you opt for a Roth account, whether that’s a 401(k) or IRA.\nThat will help you avoid paying tax when you take money out of your retirement account because your contributions to a Roth account are made after tax. Traditional IRAs, on the other hand, aren’t taxed when you make contributions, so you’ll end up paying later.\nIf you find you need a little more guidance, working with aprofessional financial adviser, can help point you in the right direction so you can confidently ride out any market volatility.\nWhile everyone else is veering off course or overcorrecting, you’ll be firmly in the driver’s seat with your sunset years planned for.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575587056961534","authorId":"3575587056961534","name":"Moneyney","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faaf1330724f7b0fdd33c5c5c036c2f5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575587056961534","authorIdStr":"3575587056961534"},"content":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]","text":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]","html":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166429016,"gmtCreate":1624023277235,"gmtModify":1703826818408,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166429016","repostId":"1107863941","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107863941","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":1624004900,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107863941?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 16:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"CAI shares soared nearly 45% in pre-market,as it has agreed to a $1.1 billion takeover by Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107863941","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"CAI shares soared nearly 45% in pre-market,as it has agreed to a $1.1 billion takeover by Mitsubishi","content":"<p>CAI shares soared nearly 45% in pre-market,as it has agreed to a $1.1 billion takeover by Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2922db8924ea9786a2bc69ae8bfc166\" tg-width=\"1289\" tg-height=\"605\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The deal consists of $104 million worth of preferred stock and $986 million of common stock equity value, and has an enterprise value of $2.9 billion, CAI said on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Mitsubishi HC Capital has offered $56 per share in cash according to the company's statement, marking a 46.8% premium over CAI's last closing price.</p>\n<p>The deal has been unanimously approved by CAI's board of directors, the company said, adding that shares of CAI will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange after the deal is completed.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

On top of that, Chinese consumers use e-commerce solutions widely, which naturally means that there is a very large, and growing, market opportunity for online shopping companies such as Alibaba Group (BABA) and JD.com Inc. (JD). In this article, we will take a look at these two companies, how they compare, their similarities and differences, and try to find out which company is the better pick at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>BABA is one of the largest Chinese tech companies, being valued at $590 billion. Its shares are up by triple digits since the IPO a couple of years ago, but over the more recent past, BABA has not been a strong performer. At $214 today, shares are down around one-third from the peak that was hit last fall. This underperformance was, in part, driven by thefailed Ant Financial IPOand by increased scrutiny by Chinese regulators.</p>\n<p>These factors have, however, not negatively impacted BABA's results. Instead, the company kept generating strong growth rates in recent quarters, which indicates that the recent share price underperformance was likely driven by weak sentiment and reluctance to invest in Chinese companies to a significant degree.</p>\n<p>Based on current earnings forecasts for this year, BABA shares are trading for just 21x this year's earnings. This seems like a very inexpensive valuation -- especially when one considers that the company is still growing at a rapid pace, with revenue growthranging from 36% to 81%during the last four quarters.</p>\n<p><b>JD.com Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>JD is, like BABA, a company that has seen its shares rise strongly over the last couple of years. It shares another similarity with its larger peer, however, as its shares have also underperformed in the recent past. JD's shares peaked in February and are down by 33% from the high today, dropping from $108 to $72 in a couple of months. As stated above, growing reluctance when it comes to investing in Chinese equities, coupled with some worries about a regulatory crackdown, play a role in JD's weak share price performance.</p>\n<p>The company has, at the same time, seen its shares peak at a similar time to those of other high-growth, high-valuation stocks such as Tesla (TSLA). The share price underperformance in recent months may thus also be driven by a shift fromgrowth stocks to value stocks, and by the so-called reopening trade. At its current share price, JD.com is valued at around $110 billion, which is around one-fifth of Alibaba's valuation.</p>\n<p>Unlike BABA, JD is not trading at a discount to the broad market, as shares are currently valued at 45x this year's earnings per share, using current consensus estimates for adjusted EPS, which back out some one-time items. JD thus trades at a 100%+ premium compared to BABA, although it should be mentioned that other e-commerce players from different countries, such as US-based Amazon (AMZN), trade at similar or even higher valuations. Amazon trades at 59x this year's expected EPS, for example, while South America-focused MercadoLibre (MELI) trades at more than 2000x this year's expected net profits. JD thus is clearly way more expensive than BABA, but in comparison to international peers, its valuation is not at all outrageously high.</p>\n<p><b>Are JD.com and Alibaba Competitors?</b></p>\n<p>JD.com Inc. and Alibaba Group both operate in the e-commerce space, although their business models are not exactly the same. Alibaba is primarily a platform provider, where third-party sellers offer their merchandise while Alibaba receives a platform fee without handling packaging, logistics, etc. themselves. JD.com, on the other hand, sells, like Amazon, products themselves, which includes handling, transportation, packaging, etc. JD does offer a marketplace for third-party sellers as well, but this is not their primary business, which differentiates them from BABA to some degree. JD, due to handling logistics themselves, has invested heavily in tech in this area, which includes using drones and robots to deliver products to customers.</p>\n<p>Both companies do, on top of operating e-commerce operations, also invest in a wide range of other projects and businesses. This includes, for example, BABA's<i>Alibaba Cloud</i>and JD's autonomous vehicles venture.</p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the two companies do operate somewhat different business models, they are, of course, still competitors. Both serve the Chinese online shopping/e-commerce consumer market, and both seek to maximize their platforms' share of dollars that are spent online in the country. Luckily, the Chinese e-commerce market islarge and grows rapidly, which means that both companies can grow their top lines at the same time - there is enough room for both to grow profitably.</p>\n<p><b>What Is The Difference Between Alibaba And JD?</b></p>\n<p>The aforementioned fact that both companies have somewhat different business models is one key difference between the two, and it has implications for the fundamentals these companies are operating with:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c26f2ff289114ca6ac216d075961f252\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"></p>\n<p>Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Since BABA does operate asset-light, and without having to handle a lot of logistics, BABA generates significantly higher margins than JD, no matter whether one takes a look at gross margins, EBITDA margins, or operating margins. JD's margins look more like those of Amazon, i.e. significantly lower, which isn't a large surprise -- like Amazon, JD has high expenses for packaging, handling, storage, and so on.</p>\n<p>Another big difference is the respective size of the two companies. BABA, being valued at 5x JD's market cap, and generating net profits that are about 10x higher than those of JD, is a significantly larger company. The two don't differ too much in terms of revenue generation, however, which can be explained by the different business models -- JD has high revenue per product, at a low margin, whereas BABA's business model that focuses on platform fees generates lower revenue per product at much higher margins.</p>\n<p>Overall, I'd rate BABA's business model more attractive. In a downturn, BABA's way higher margins will allow the company to stomach some margin pressure more easily, and its fee-based operations are lean and do result in low capital expenditure requirements. This, in turn, allows BABA to put a lot of free cash towards other business units, such as its cloud computing unit, while BABA has also been highly active in M&A as well.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Vs. JD.com: Which Is The Best Chinese Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Several things should be considered here, including fundamentals, growth, valuation, and risk factors. As stated above, BABA's business model allows for better fundamentals, and I believe that this will not change in the foreseeable future, as the much higher margins seem to be inherent for a company utilizing this platform approach.</p>\n<p>Looking at growth, we see that both have grown rapidly in recent years, including during pandemic-impacted 2020. Current analyst consensus estimates for the coming years look like this:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd91edeaa64807108941f40b4570b3e8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"535\"></p>\n<p>Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Alibaba is forecasted to grow its revenue by 21% in 2022, and by 18% in 2023. JD.com, meanwhile, is forecasted to grow its top line by 21% in 2022, and by 19% in 2023 -- these are very similar growth rates. Long-term earnings per share growth estimates are not too far from each other, either, as BABA is seen growing its EPS by 27% a year, whereas JD is seen growing its EPS by 32% a year.</p>\n<p>It makes, I believe, sense to expect that JD will grow its net profits faster, due to the fact that its margins have more upside potential, and that operating leverage should be more beneficial for a company like JD with its high fixed costs. Nevertheless, the growth outlook is relatively similar for these two companies. Since both operate in a similar market with their core businesses and will benefit from ongoing consumer spending growth and digitalization, it makes sense that there are no ultra-large discrepancies here.</p>\n<p>Looking at risk factors for both companies, we can say that both are heavily exposed to the Chinese economy, with all potential risks this entails. If economic growth slows down in China, both will be impacted. Similarly, if regulators crack down on e-commerce, both would be impacted. If a new strong competitor enters the Chinese e-commerce market, both companies could lose market share.</p>\n<p>Since Alibaba is a larger company, and since its founder Jack Ma seems to be more politically exposed compared to key execs at JD.com, one could argue that political/regulatory risks are more pronounced at Alibaba compared to JD.com. I personally do not see this as a very large risk factor, however, as it would not seem logical for Chinese politicians to hurt either of these two high-growth tech companies.</p>\n<p>To sum this section up, I'd say that Alibaba trades at a massive discount compared to JD.com, which is the key argument here. Growth may be a little better at JD, while fundamentals are a little better at BABA. But these differences pale compared to the ultra-large difference in the valuations of both companies: BABA, at 21x this year's earnings, seems like a better pick than JD, at 45x this year's earnings.</p>\n<p>BABA's valuation is also significantly lower when we look at other metrics such as EV to EBITDA, which accounts for different debt levels. Here BABA is also way cheaper than JD, trading at 17x forward EBITDA (according to YCharts), compared to a 30x forward EBITDA valuation for its smaller peer.</p>\n<p>BABA is my favorite among these two right now, with valuation being the key factor. If JD were to trade at a similarly low valuation as BABA, the story might be a different one. But I don't think JD is a better pick than BABA when having an almost identical growth outlook while trading at a 100%+ premium.

On top of that, Chinese consumers use e-commerce solutions widely, which naturally means that there is a very large, and growing, market opportunity for online shopping companies such as Alibaba Group (BABA) and JD.com Inc. (JD). In this article, we will take a look at these two companies, how they compare, their similarities and differences, and try to find out which company is the better pick at current prices.\nAlibaba Stock Price\nBABA is one of the largest Chinese tech companies, being valued at $590 billion. Its shares are up by triple digits since the IPO a couple of years ago, but over the more recent past, BABA has not been a strong performer. At $214 today, shares are down around one-third from the peak that was hit last fall. This underperformance was, in part, driven by thefailed Ant Financial IPOand by increased scrutiny by Chinese regulators.\nThese factors have, however, not negatively impacted BABA's results. Instead, the company kept generating strong growth rates in recent quarters, which indicates that the recent share price underperformance was likely driven by weak sentiment and reluctance to invest in Chinese companies to a significant degree.\nBased on current earnings forecasts for this year, BABA shares are trading for just 21x this year's earnings. This seems like a very inexpensive valuation -- especially when one considers that the company is still growing at a rapid pace, with revenue growthranging from 36% to 81%during the last four quarters.\nJD.com Stock Price\nJD is, like BABA, a company that has seen its shares rise strongly over the last couple of years. It shares another similarity with its larger peer, however, as its shares have also underperformed in the recent past. JD's shares peaked in February and are down by 33% from the high today, dropping from $108 to $72 in a couple of months. As stated above, growing reluctance when it comes to investing in Chinese equities, coupled with some worries about a regulatory crackdown, play a role in JD's weak share price performance.\nThe company has, at the same time, seen its shares peak at a similar time to those of other high-growth, high-valuation stocks such as Tesla (TSLA). The share price underperformance in recent months may thus also be driven by a shift fromgrowth stocks to value stocks, and by the so-called reopening trade. At its current share price, JD.com is valued at around $110 billion, which is around one-fifth of Alibaba's valuation.\nUnlike BABA, JD is not trading at a discount to the broad market, as shares are currently valued at 45x this year's earnings per share, using current consensus estimates for adjusted EPS, which back out some one-time items. JD thus trades at a 100%+ premium compared to BABA, although it should be mentioned that other e-commerce players from different countries, such as US-based Amazon (AMZN), trade at similar or even higher valuations. Amazon trades at 59x this year's expected EPS, for example, while South America-focused MercadoLibre (MELI) trades at more than 2000x this year's expected net profits. JD thus is clearly way more expensive than BABA, but in comparison to international peers, its valuation is not at all outrageously high.\nAre JD.com and Alibaba Competitors?\nJD.com Inc. and Alibaba Group both operate in the e-commerce space, although their business models are not exactly the same.

If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that ","content":"<p>Karl Marx would have loved Reddit. If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that everyone should get in on trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency. Not to get rich—though that’s a nice side benefit—but to strike back at the investor class. “It’s worthwhile running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money,” Marxwrote. I’m right there with you, Karl.</p>\n<p>Working-class millennials have been denied the chance to build generational wealth over the course of our professional careers. Many of us are risking what little we have left as a way of raging against a machine we feel is rigged against us. And we’re following in Marx’s footsteps.</p>\n<p>After a friend died in 1864, Marx received £820 in a bequest, his biographerrecounts. That comes out to roughly $151,500 today after adjusting for inflation and applying current conversion rates. Marx used a portion of his inheritance to become a financial speculator, often engaging in the same sort of penny-stock bubble schemes that the notorious WallStreetBets sub-Reddit has been accused of engaging in this year. “[Stocks] are springing up like mushrooms this year,” Marx wrote in a letter to his uncle, bragging that he had already made £400 from speculation. He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”</p>\n<p>Marx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billionon meme stocks so far.</p>\n<p>As a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me. HuffPost’s Michael Hobbessummed upmillennials’ financial situation best in 2017: “My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.”</p>\n<p>Perhaps because we’re the only American generation to live through two major recessions and two wars in our coming-up years, we’re the first generation to be financially worse off than our parents, despite beingbetter educatedon average. We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according toBloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated witheven more student debtthan their white classmates, arefar less likelyto be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earnjust 60%of what their white coworkers make.</p>\n<p>Millennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup studycalledmillennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago studyfound millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest inthree decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)</p>\n<p>If all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thustorpedoingmy career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given thepredominantly millennialcomposition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.</p>\n<p>There’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw withGameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but evenreportedlysold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had afinancial relationshipwith firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.</p>\n<p>In March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>When that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation ischiefly responsiblefor the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin hasappreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit).

If the German philosopher were alive today, he’d be posting that everyone should get in on trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency. Not to get rich—though that’s a nice side benefit—but to strike back at the investor class. “It’s worthwhile running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money,” Marxwrote. I’m right there with you, Karl.\nWorking-class millennials have been denied the chance to build generational wealth over the course of our professional careers. Many of us are risking what little we have left as a way of raging against a machine we feel is rigged against us. And we’re following in Marx’s footsteps.\nAfter a friend died in 1864, Marx received £820 in a bequest, his biographerrecounts. That comes out to roughly $151,500 today after adjusting for inflation and applying current conversion rates. Marx used a portion of his inheritance to become a financial speculator, often engaging in the same sort of penny-stock bubble schemes that the notorious WallStreetBets sub-Reddit has been accused of engaging in this year. “[Stocks] are springing up like mushrooms this year,” Marx wrote in a letter to his uncle, bragging that he had already made £400 from speculation. He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”\nMarx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billionon meme stocks so far.\nAs a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me. HuffPost’s Michael Hobbessummed upmillennials’ financial situation best in 2017: “My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.”\nPerhaps because we’re the only American generation to live through two major recessions and two wars in our coming-up years, we’re the first generation to be financially worse off than our parents, despite beingbetter educatedon average. We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according toBloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated witheven more student debtthan their white classmates, arefar less likelyto be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earnjust 60%of what their white coworkers make.\nMillennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup studycalledmillennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago studyfound millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest inthree decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)\nIf all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thustorpedoingmy career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given thepredominantly millennialcomposition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.\nThere’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw withGameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but evenreportedlysold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had afinancial relationshipwith firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.\nIn March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.\nWhen that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation ischiefly responsiblefor the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin hasappreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanleybecame thefirst bankto offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.\nMillennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.\nCorrections & Amplifications: Citadel Securities is a market-maker that provides services for Robinhood, not a hedge fund.

Buy low</b></p>\n<p>Part of what upsets Orman so much about the furor over meme stocks like GameStop is it goes completely against the average investor’s interests.</p>\n<p>“All of you have your heads screwed on backwards,” she says. “All you want is for these markets to go up and up and up. What good is that going to do you?”</p>\n<p>She points out the only extra money most people have goes towardinvesting for retirementin their 401(k) or IRA plans.</p>\n<p>Because you probably don’t plan to touch that money for decades, the best long-term strategy is to buy low. That way, your dollar will go much further now, leaving plenty of room for growth over the next 20, 30 or 40 years.</p>\n<p><b>2. Invest on a schedule</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4102f8a6d5002090743b1cbded32ef9\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">katjen / Shutterstock</p>\n<p>While she prefers to buy low, Orman doesn’t recommend you stop investing completely when the market goes up.</p>\n<p>She wants casual investors to not get caught up in the daily ups and downs of the market.</p>\n<p>In fact, cheering for downturns now may be your best bet at getting a larger piece of very profitable investments — like some lucky investors were able to do back in 2007 and 2008.</p>\n<p>“When the market went down, down, down you could buy things at nothing,” says Orman. “And now look at them 15 years later.”</p>\n<p>She suggests you set up a dollar-cost averaging strategy, which means you invest your money in equal portions at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s fluctuations.</p>\n<p>This kind of approach is easy to implement with any of the many investing apps currently available to DIY investors.</p>\n<p>There are even apps that willautomatically invest your spare changeby rounding up your debit and credit card purchases to the nearest dollar.</p>\n<p><b>3. Diversify with fractional shares</b></p>\n<p>To help weather dips in specific corners of the market, Orman suggests you diversify your investments — balance your portfolio with investments in many different types of assets and sectors of the economy.</p>\n<p>Orman particularly recommends fractional-share investing. This approach allows you to buy a slice of a share for a big-name company that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.</p>\n<p>With the help of apopular stock-trading tool, anyone at any budget can afford the fractional share strategy.</p>\n<p>“The sooner you begin, the more money you will have,” says Orman. “Just don’t stop, and when these markets go down, you should be so happy because your dollars find more shares.”</p>\n<p>“And the more shares you have, the more money you’ll have 20, 40, 50 years from now.”</p>\n<p><b>What else you can do</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e79c6fd1f8fa6e3a7c3a6c94f1e14b5\" tg-width=\"703\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">goodluz / Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Whether or not a big crash is around the corner, investors who are still decades out from retirement can make that work for them, Orman said in theCNBC video.</p>\n<p>First, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Since the onset of the pandemic, Orman now recommends everyone have an emergency fund that can cover their expenses for a full year.</p>\n<p>Then, to set yourself up fora comfortable retirement, she suggests you opt for a Roth account, whether that’s a 401(k) or IRA.</p>\n<p>That will help you avoid paying tax when you take money out of your retirement account because your contributions to a Roth account are made after tax. Traditional IRAs, on the other hand, aren’t taxed when you make contributions, so you’ll end up paying later.</p>\n<p>If you find you need a little more guidance, working with aprofessional financial adviser, can help point you in the right direction so you can confidently ride out any market volatility.</p>\n<p>While everyone else is veering off course or overcorrecting, you’ll be firmly in the driver’s seat with your sunset years planned for.</p>","source":"lsy1621813427262","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

She knows ups and downs are to be expected, but what she’s seeing happen with investment fads like GameStop has her concerned.\n“I don’t like what I see happening in the market right now,” Orman said in a video for CNBC. “The economy has been horrible, but the stock market has been going.”\nWhile investing is as easy now asusing a smartphone app, Orman is concerned about where we can go from these record highs.\nAnd even with stimulus checks, which are still going out, and the real estate market breaking its own records last year, Orman worries about what will come with the coronavirus — especially as new variants continue to pop up.\nWhat's more, she feels it’s just been too long since the last crash to stay this high much longer.\n“This reminds me of 2000 all over again,” Orman says.\nThe Buffett Indicator\nLarry W Smith/EPA/Shutterstock\nOne metric Warren Buffett uses to assess the market so regularly that it’s been named after him has been flashing red for long enough that market watchers are starting to wonder if it’s an outdated tool.\nBut the Buffett Indicator, a measurement of the ratio of the stock market’s total value against U.S. economic output, continues to climb to previously unseen levels.\nAnd those in the know are wondering if it's a sign that we’re about to see a hard fall.\nHow to prepare for a crashFreedomz / Shutterstock\nOrman has three recommendations for setting up a simple investment strategy to help you successfully navigate any sharp turns in the market.\n1. Buy low\nPart of what upsets Orman so much about the furor over meme stocks like GameStop is it goes completely against the average investor’s interests.\n“All of you have your heads screwed on backwards,” she says. “All you want is for these markets to go up and up and up. What good is that going to do you?”\nShe points out the only extra money most people have goes towardinvesting for retirementin their 401(k) or IRA plans.\nBecause you probably don’t plan to touch that money for decades, the best long-term strategy is to buy low. That way, your dollar will go much further now, leaving plenty of room for growth over the next 20, 30 or 40 years.\n2. Invest on a schedule\nkatjen / Shutterstock\nWhile she prefers to buy low, Orman doesn’t recommend you stop investing completely when the market goes up.\nShe wants casual investors to not get caught up in the daily ups and downs of the market.\nIn fact, cheering for downturns now may be your best bet at getting a larger piece of very profitable investments — like some lucky investors were able to do back in 2007 and 2008.\n“When the market went down, down, down you could buy things at nothing,” says Orman. “And now look at them 15 years later.”\nShe suggests you set up a dollar-cost averaging strategy, which means you invest your money in equal portions at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s fluctuations.\nThis kind of approach is easy to implement with any of the many investing apps currently available to DIY investors.\nThere are even apps that willautomatically invest your spare changeby rounding up your debit and credit card purchases to the nearest dollar.\n3. Diversify with fractional shares\nTo help weather dips in specific corners of the market, Orman suggests you diversify your investments — balance your portfolio with investments in many different types of assets and sectors of the economy.\nOrman particularly recommends fractional-share investing. This approach allows you to buy a slice of a share for a big-name company that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.\nWith the help of apopular stock-trading tool, anyone at any budget can afford the fractional share strategy.\n“The sooner you begin, the more money you will have,” says Orman. “Just don’t stop, and when these markets go down, you should be so happy because your dollars find more shares.”\n“And the more shares you have, the more money you’ll have 20, 40, 50 years from now.”\nWhat else you can do\ngoodluz / Shutterstock\nWhether or not a big crash is around the corner, investors who are still decades out from retirement can make that work for them, Orman said in theCNBC video.\nFirst, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Since the onset of the pandemic, Orman now recommends everyone have an emergency fund that can cover their expenses for a full year.\nThen, to set yourself up fora comfortable retirement, she suggests you opt for a Roth account, whether that’s a 401(k) or IRA.\nThat will help you avoid paying tax when you take money out of your retirement account because your contributions to a Roth account are made after tax. Traditional IRAs, on the other hand, aren’t taxed when you make contributions, so you’ll end up paying later.\nIf you find you need a little more guidance, working with aprofessional financial adviser, can help point you in the right direction so you can confidently ride out any market volatility.\nWhile everyone else is veering off course or overcorrecting, you’ll be firmly in the driver’s seat with your sunset years planned for.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575587056961534","authorId":"3575587056961534","name":"Moneyney","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faaf1330724f7b0fdd33c5c5c036c2f5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575587056961534","authorIdStr":"3575587056961534"},"content":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]","text":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]","html":"Now I hope the market can release 10% [LOL]"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860113900,"gmtCreate":1632145313200,"gmtModify":1676530710032,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"First time that my watchlist is all RED.

Members of the G-7, which include Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S., will convene for a summit in Cornwall, U.K., next week.\nAn agreement among this group would provide needed momentum for upcoming talks planned with 135 countries in Paris. Finance ministers from the Group of 20 are also expected to meet in Venice in July.\n“We commit to reaching an equitable solution on the allocation of taxing rights, with market countries awarded taxing rights on at least 20% of profit exceeding a 10% margin for the largest and most profitable multinational enterprises,”according to a statement from the G-7 finance ministers.\n“We will provide for appropriate coordination between the application of the new international tax rules and the removal of all Digital Services Taxes, and other relevant similar measures, on all companies,” it said.\nU.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who is in London for the face-to-face meeting, hailed the move as significant and unprecedented.\n“That global minimum tax would end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate taxation, and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the U.S. and around the world,” she tweeted.\nPresident Joe Biden and his administration had initially suggested a minimum global tax rate of 21% in an attempt to prevent countries luring international businesses with low or zero taxes. However, after tough negotiations, a compromise was reached to set the bar at 15%.\nA global deal in this field would be good news for cash-strapped nations, who are trying to rebuild their economies after the coronavirus crisis.\nBut Biden’s idea had not been received with the same level of excitement across the world. The U.K., for example, did not immediately voice its support for the proposal.\nThe issue can be contentious within the European Union as well, where various member states charge different corporate tax rates and can attract big-name firms by doing so. Ireland’s tax rate, for example, is 12.5%, while France’s can be as high as 31%.\nSpeaking in April, Irish Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said smaller nations should be allowed to have lower tax rates given that they don’t have the same capacity for scale as the larger economies do, the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper reported.\nThe world’s most powerful economies have been at odds over taxation for some time, in particular in the wake of plans to tax digital giants more.\nThe U.S., under former President Donald Trump, vehemently opposed digital tax initiatives in different countries and threatened to impose trade tariffs against countries that would plan on taxing U.S. tech companies.\nSome major firms across the world reacted positively the agreement on Saturday. Nick Clegg, vice president of global affairs at Facebook, wrote in a tweet that the company welcomed the G-7 tax rule.\n“We want the international tax reform process to succeed and recognize this could mean Facebook paying more tax, and in different places,” Clegg wrote.\nGoogle spokesman Jose Castaneda told CNBC in a statement that the company supports efforts to update international tax rules. “We hope countries continue to work together to ensure a balanced and durable agreement will be finalized soon,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810236100,"gmtCreate":1629979426800,"gmtModify":1676530190372,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting, no headquarter and current list where CEO and CFO live. 100% WFH?","listText":"Interesting, no headquarter and current list where CEO and CFO live. 100% WFH?","text":"Interesting, no headquarter and current list where CEO and CFO live. 100% WFH?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/810236100","repostId":"1180516689","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575587056961534","authorId":"3575587056961534","name":"Moneyney","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faaf1330724f7b0fdd33c5c5c036c2f5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575587056961534","authorIdStr":"3575587056961534"},"content":"You'd better to check the translation of your post.

To w","content":"<p>In this past weekend’s newsletter, I discussed the rarity of <b><i>6-positive market months</i></b> in a row. To wit:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“An additional ‘red flag’ is the S&P 500 has had positive returns for 6-straight months. </i> \n <i><b>As shown in the 10-year monthly chart below, such streaks are a rarity, and when they do occur, they are usually met by a month, or more, of negative returns.</b></i> \n <i>“</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/acbb168618e329e81890ddb60b0ac278\" tg-width=\"991\" tg-height=\"521\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>(It is also worth noting that when the 12-Month RSI is this overbought, larger corrective processes have occurred.)</i></p>\n<p>As stated, I only went back 10-years in the chart above. Such generated several email questions asking about the number of historical occurrences over the long term.</p>\n<p><b>6-Positive Market Months – Long Term</b></p>\n<p>Using Dr. Robert Shiller’s long-term nominal stock market data, I calculated monthly positive returns and then highlighted periods of 6-positive market months or more.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38d632f054d0a5668489fe697ab20924\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"589\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">There are several important takeaways from the chart above.</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>All periods of consecutive performance eventually end.</b><i>(While such seems obvious, it is something investors tend to forget about during long bullish stretches.)</i></li>\n <li><i>Given the extremely long-period of market history, </i><i><b>such long-stretches of bullish performance are somewhat rare.</b></i></li>\n <li><i>Such periods of performance often, but not always, </i><i><b>precede fairly decent market corrections or bear markets.</b></i></li>\n</ol>\n<p>The table below shows all periods where there were 2-months or more of consecutive positive returns.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30818e20d84915a59e21dcb051181793\" tg-width=\"760\" tg-height=\"369\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">What the table shows is that nearly 40% of the time, a two-month stretch of positive performance is followed by at least one month of negative performance. Three consecutive positive months occur 23% of the time, and only 14% of occurrences stretch to 4-months.</p>\n<p><b>Since 1871, there have only been 12 occurrences of 6-month or greater stretches of positive returns before a negative month appeared.</b>In total there are just 40 occurrences, out of 245 periods of 2-months or more, the market ran 6-months or longer without a correction.</p>\n<p>However, in every period, the run ended in at least a negative return month, but the vast majority ended with much deeper corrections.</p>\n<p><b><u>This Time Is Different</u></b></p>\n<p>At the current time, there is no concern about <i>“risk”</i> in the financial markets as the <i>“bullish bias”</i> remains unfettered. With the Fed still applying $120 billion a month in liquidity, investors learned the meaning of <i>“the beatings will continue until morale improves.”</i></p>\n<p>It is certainly possible the market advance can continue unabated into one of the historically lengthier stretches. The only question is when will it end, and how big of a correction will it be?</p>\n<p><b>What will cause the correction is unknown?</b>The reason is that if the market becomes aware of an issue, participants <i>“price”</i>that <i>“risk”</i> into markets. Such is why, particularly when investors are aggressively positioned in the market when an unexpected, exogenous, event occurs prices decline rapidly as <i>“risk”</i> gets reduced.</p>\n<p>Such is why the market was holding up fairly well in the face of the “Pandemic” in February of 2020. However, what market participants were not prepared for, the “exogenous” event, was the complete <i>“shutdown”</i> of the economy.</p>\n<p>So, whatever event causes a rush of investors to the “exits,” is not something we are currently discussing or worried about in the financial media.</p>\n<p><u><b>Size Of The Correction</b></u></p>\n<p><b>The magnitude of the correction is an easier question to answer.</b></p>\n<p>Currently, the market is extremely deviated above its 2-year (24-month) moving average. Such extreme deviations are a historical rarity and have often resulted in corrections of 20% or more.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef44d95d728249aa5724bf499da25ec3\" tg-width=\"967\" tg-height=\"604\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">As we showed in <i><b>“Past Performance Is No Guarantee,”</b></i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“This is also where investors should be paying attention to the ‘risk’ they are taking on. As shown, there are few points in history where the index, monthly, is this extended, deviated, and bullish.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>There have only been 6-previous points in history where markets were simultaneously this extended, bullish, and overbought. Each of those periods marked more historical performance peaks – 1929, 1937, 1946, 1957, 1987, 1999.</p>\n<p>Importantly, the 72-month moving average has acted as long-term running support for the market going back to 1925. Violations of that moving average are rare and only occur during <i>“mean-reverting”</i> bear markets. <b>Currently, a correction to the 72-month moving average would require a 36.5% decline.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84ad29e35e9c52c09e6214c012a264a1\" tg-width=\"990\" tg-height=\"438\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Currently, such a correction seems unlikely given the current <i>“bullish sentiment.”</i> However, the same sentiment abounded in February 2020 just before the market tested that support.</p>\n<p>Given the massive deviations from long-term means, our suspicion is that at some point we will likely again test that support in the future.</p>\n<p><b><u>Into The Belly Of The Beast</u></b></p>\n<p>The market is currently priced for perfection. Investors continue to disregard warnings of slowing economic growth on hopes that monetary interventions will continue indefinitely. While such could indeed be the case, that does not preclude the market from having a correction or worse.</p>\n<p>Interest rates continue to decline sharply suggesting that economic growth is weakening rapidly. Such will lead to earnings disappointment in the months ahead at a time when valuations remain excessive on many levels.</p>\n<p>August and September historically sport weak performance for the market for a variety of reasons. However, given 6-positive market months already, the risk of a correction has risen markedly.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0ceb1f048ad067fd6355ec65f90b970\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"490\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>The first year of a new-President also sports weak performance during the August-September period.</b>With the “debt ceiling” approaching, the Fed potentially discussing<i>“tapering”</i> asset purchases, and the potential for disappointment in economic reports, there are plenty of things to<i>“spook”</i> markets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac42db5f35b7be8f0da998b203791bee\" tg-width=\"899\" tg-height=\"617\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The point is simply that the <i>“risk”</i> of a correction is now elevated.</p>\n<p><u><b>What This Means And Doesn’t Mean</b></u></p>\n<p>Let me repeat the following just so there is no confusion.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“What this analysis DOES NOT mean is that you should ‘sell everything’ and ‘hide in cash.’”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>As always, long-term portfolio management is about managing <i>“risk”</i> by <i>“tweaking”</i> things over time.</p>\n<p>If you have a <i>“so so”</i> hand at a poker table, you bet less or fold.</p>\n<p>It doesn’t mean you get up and leave the table altogether.</p>\n<p><b>What this analysis does suppest is that we should use rallies to rebalance portfolios.</b></p>\n<ol>\n <li><p><b><i>Trim Winning Positions</i></b><i> back to their original portfolio weightings. (ie.

To wit:\n\n“An additional ‘red flag’ is the S&P 500 has had positive returns for 6-straight months. \nAs shown in the 10-year monthly chart below, such streaks are a rarity, and when they do occur, they are usually met by a month, or more, of negative returns.\n“\n\n(It is also worth noting that when the 12-Month RSI is this overbought, larger corrective processes have occurred.)\nAs stated, I only went back 10-years in the chart above. Such generated several email questions asking about the number of historical occurrences over the long term.\n6-Positive Market Months – Long Term\nUsing Dr. Robert Shiller’s long-term nominal stock market data, I calculated monthly positive returns and then highlighted periods of 6-positive market months or more.\nThere are several important takeaways from the chart above.\n\nAll periods of consecutive performance eventually end.(While such seems obvious, it is something investors tend to forget about during long bullish stretches.)\nGiven the extremely long-period of market history, such long-stretches of bullish performance are somewhat rare.\nSuch periods of performance often, but not always, precede fairly decent market corrections or bear markets.\n\nThe table below shows all periods where there were 2-months or more of consecutive positive returns.\nWhat the table shows is that nearly 40% of the time, a two-month stretch of positive performance is followed by at least one month of negative performance. Three consecutive positive months occur 23% of the time, and only 14% of occurrences stretch to 4-months.\nSince 1871, there have only been 12 occurrences of 6-month or greater stretches of positive returns before a negative month appeared.In total there are just 40 occurrences, out of 245 periods of 2-months or more, the market ran 6-months or longer without a correction.\nHowever, in every period, the run ended in at least a negative return month, but the vast majority ended with much deeper corrections.\nThis Time Is Different\nAt the current time, there is no concern about “risk” in the financial markets as the “bullish bias” remains unfettered. With the Fed still applying $120 billion a month in liquidity, investors learned the meaning of “the beatings will continue until morale improves.”\nIt is certainly possible the market advance can continue unabated into one of the historically lengthier stretches. The only question is when will it end, and how big of a correction will it be?\nWhat will cause the correction is unknown?The reason is that if the market becomes aware of an issue, participants “price”that “risk” into markets. Such is why, particularly when investors are aggressively positioned in the market when an unexpected, exogenous, event occurs prices decline rapidly as “risk” gets reduced.\nSuch is why the market was holding up fairly well in the face of the “Pandemic” in February of 2020. However, what market participants were not prepared for, the “exogenous” event, was the complete “shutdown” of the economy.\nSo, whatever event causes a rush of investors to the “exits,” is not something we are currently discussing or worried about in the financial media.\nSize Of The Correction\nThe magnitude of the correction is an easier question to answer.\nCurrently, the market is extremely deviated above its 2-year (24-month) moving average. Such extreme deviations are a historical rarity and have often resulted in corrections of 20% or more.\nAs we showed in “Past Performance Is No Guarantee,”\n\n“This is also where investors should be paying attention to the ‘risk’ they are taking on. As shown, there are few points in history where the index, monthly, is this extended, deviated, and bullish.”\n\nThere have only been 6-previous points in history where markets were simultaneously this extended, bullish, and overbought. Each of those periods marked more historical performance peaks – 1929, 1937, 1946, 1957, 1987, 1999.\nImportantly, the 72-month moving average has acted as long-term running support for the market going back to 1925. Violations of that moving average are rare and only occur during “mean-reverting” bear markets. Currently, a correction to the 72-month moving average would require a 36.5% decline.\nCurrently, such a correction seems unlikely given the current “bullish sentiment.” However, the same sentiment abounded in February 2020 just before the market tested that support.\nGiven the massive deviations from long-term means, our suspicion is that at some point we will likely again test that support in the future.\nInto The Belly Of The Beast\nThe market is currently priced for perfection. Investors continue to disregard warnings of slowing economic growth on hopes that monetary interventions will continue indefinitely. While such could indeed be the case, that does not preclude the market from having a correction or worse.\nInterest rates continue to decline sharply suggesting that economic growth is weakening rapidly. Such will lead to earnings disappointment in the months ahead at a time when valuations remain excessive on many levels.\nAugust and September historically sport weak performance for the market for a variety of reasons. However, given 6-positive market months already, the risk of a correction has risen markedly.\nThe first year of a new-President also sports weak performance during the August-September period.With the “debt ceiling” approaching, the Fed potentially discussing“tapering” asset purchases, and the potential for disappointment in economic reports, there are plenty of things to“spook” markets.\nThe point is simply that the “risk” of a correction is now elevated.\nWhat This Means And Doesn’t Mean\nLet me repeat the following just so there is no confusion.\n\n“What this analysis DOES NOT mean is that you should ‘sell everything’ and ‘hide in cash.’”\n\nAs always, long-term portfolio management is about managing “risk” by “tweaking” things over time.\nIf you have a “so so” hand at a poker table, you bet less or fold.\nIt doesn’t mean you get up and leave the table altogether.\nWhat this analysis does suppest is that we should use rallies to rebalance portfolios.\n\nTrim Winning Positions back to their original portfolio weightings. (ie. Take profits)\nSell Those Positions That Aren’t Working.If they don’t rally with the market during a bounce, they will decline more when the market sells off again.\nMove Trailing Stop Losses Up to new levels.\nReview Your Portfolio Allocation Relative To Your Risk Tolerance. If you have an aggressive allocation to equities at this point of the market cycle, you may want to try and recall how you felt during 2008. Raise cash levels and increase fixed income accordingly to reduce relative market exposure.\n\nCould I be wrong? Absolutely.\nBut what if the indicators are warning us of something more significant?\nWhat’s worse:\n\nMissing out temporarily on the initial stages of a longer-term advance, or;\nSpending time getting back to even, which is not the same as making money.\n\nAs I noted recently in our blog on trading rules:\n\n“\nOpportunities are made up far easier than lost capital.”\n –\nTodd Harrison","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":454,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042457493,"gmtCreate":1656516988412,"gmtModify":1676535844404,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So buy or not buy?","listText":"So buy or not buy?","text":"So buy or not buy?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9042457493","repostId":"2247574012","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":250,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022114056,"gmtCreate":1653490297375,"gmtModify":1676535291408,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Try my luck?

"Most of us are capable of doing it if you gave us the correct information."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Phoenix workers spoke with Insider on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional repercussions. Their identities are known to Insider.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">TSMC, however, has maintained that the incoming Taiwanese workers will not be a threat to US jobs. A company spokesperson told Insider that at this stage in the construction process, it's "common practice to partner with the local workforce and international experienced staff to ensure the highest-quality execution." </p><p>The company did not respond specifically to the accusations of management problems on the site, but a spokesperson said: "TSMC is committed to ensuring that working conditions in its supply chains are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically." </p><h2 id=\"id_1150932934\" style=\"text-align: left;\">'TSMC wants you to get the job done with as little amount of information and as fast as possible'</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Arizona pipe cutter said the construction delay was "100% a management problem."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">He said it's not that US workers didn't have the skills to build the factory but that they're just not being given sufficient resources to do the job. He and many other workers on the site, he said, have worked at the chipmaker Intel in a similar capacity in the past, so they know it doesn't have to be this way.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"At Intel, they can give me a package that says, 'Hey, this is the equipment that I want you to build. This is the deadline. These are the standards.' Everything you could think of," he said. "And essentially, TSMC is the exact opposite. They just say, 'Build this.' And I don't get the blueprints. There's no planning. They essentially assume everybody just knows how to do the job. But I can't read your mind."</p><p>Instead of the extensive blueprints he's used to, he said that almost all of his work at TSMC was done by referring to emails and pictures that sometimes included difficult-to-decipher notes. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"TSMC wants you to get the job done with as little amount of information and as fast as possible," he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that managerial challenges — fueled in part by cultural differences between TSMC and US workers — had been among the reasons for the factory's delay. In February, TSMC employees told the Times American workers were difficult to manage.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The pipe cutter said that TSMC and its key contractors were largely to blame for the management problems.</p><h2 id=\"id_3324423689\" style=\"text-align: left;\">'I would not want to be in these buildings after they're fully complete'</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Both the pipe cutter and a welder at the Phoenix site told Insider they'd had problems getting the proper materials needed to complete their work. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"The main issue holding American workers, or any workers, for that matter, back is lack of materials," the welder said, adding that he sometimes had to wait days to receive what he needed.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"I have no idea how they've made it this far," the pipe cutter said of TSMC, adding: "It's like the Wild West. Everyone's got a job to do, and they just let you all run. And it's with no coordination."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">He said building-code violations were common as well, which had also slowed down construction. </p><p>"Sometimes we'll have to do work two or three times because they're like, 'Well, this is how we do it in Taiwan,'" he said. "So we build it exactly how they want it, but then as soon as it's put in, we're not going to sign off on it because it's illegal. It's against international building code."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The pipe cutter said that safety violations were also common on the site. He said in one instance, "hundreds of pounds of weight" were loosely hanging 20 to 30 feet above workers' heads — a "really big safety violation."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">He said many Taiwanese workers on the site wore tennis shoes — rather than boots — and didn't wear safety glasses or gloves.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">After complaining about one safety issue for two straight weeks, he said, he spoke with a company safety representative.</p><p>"He literally told me to my face that we're only here for insurance purposes — they won't let us do anything," he said, referring to the company's desire to meet baseline safety requirements. "And that's when I gave up."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The pipe cutter isn't the only worker who has raised safety concerns. In June, The American Prospect reported that workers said injuries and safety violations were common on the construction site. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"It's easily the most unsafe site I've ever walked on," Luke Kasper, a representative of a union for sheet-metal workers, said.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">TSMC has defended its commitment to safety. When asked whether there were any safety issues on the site, the company said it was regularly audited against known safety standards and that it conducted its own internal audits of safety records against state and national figures. The company said that in Arizona, its "recordable safety incident rate" was nearly 80% lower than nationally reported figures.</p><p>"TSMC is deeply committed to workplace safety in the operation of all our facilities, along with each of our active construction projects, including TSMC Arizona," the spokesperson said. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Earlier this month, after multiple health and safety complaints were sent to the state over the past year, TSMC and the state of Arizona signed a workplace-safety agreement. Both sides agreed to subject the company to higher safety standards than required at the federal level, including closer oversight and increased training and safety visits. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The pipe cutter said he was worried for the thousands of workers set to run the factory once it's complete.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"One of the most dangerous places to work in the United States is in a semiconductor facility because there are large amounts of chemicals," he said. "Stuff is going to break, and when it does, these are nasty, nasty chemicals. And that's my worry. I would not want to be in these buildings after they're fully complete."</p><h2 id=\"id_307460897\" style=\"text-align: left;\">'It's not like we're against the Taiwanese workers or anything. We're against TSMC.'</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When entering the construction site each morning, both workers said they'd experienced delays at every step of the process, from hourlong security lines to challenges procuring the right safety gear, known as a "bunny suit."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"Then you go through the gowning process, and they don't have your size. And then you go to degown, and they don't have your hanger or somebody took your hanger," the pipe cutter said. "It's literally every step of the process. Everything is difficult."</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"Parking is insane out there with the vehicles and traffic management," the welder said.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Rather than bringing over more Taiwanese workers, the welder added, TSMC should focus on solving these other problems. </p><p>"I have never heard word of what skills we are lacking, nor any word or info at all on what or when we will be trained from their workers," he said. </p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The pipe cutter said he thought the workers might be able to help but it was not because US workers lacked skills or expertise.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"As far as TSMC saying that they need the skilled workers, what they really mean is they want the cheaper workers, their guys, to come over here because they don't have to tell them anything," he said. "They can literally just say, 'Hey, this whole row, go build it.'"</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">He added: "It's not like we're against the Taiwanese workers or anything. We're against TSMC. TSMC is the problem."</p><p>Both workers said they were sticking it out because the job paid well enough but they hoped to eventually find other work.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">"It's the worst job that any of us have ever had, as far as safety and quality and everything," the pipe cutter said. "Every guy that I know is leaving this job as soon as we can."</p></body></html>","source":"Insider","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>TSMC Phoenix Plant Delayed Over Management, Safety Issues, Workers Say</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\">\nTSMC Phoenix Plant Delayed Over Management, Safety Issues, Workers Say\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-08-24 15:18 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.businessinsider.com/tsmc-phoenix-arizona-chip-factory-taiwan-semiconductor-management-safety-workers-2023-8><strong>Insider</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>TSMC says its Arizona chip factory's opening has been delayed partly over a skilled-worker shortage.We spoke with two workers at the site who said poor management was the real reason.Some Phoenix ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/tsmc-phoenix-arizona-chip-factory-taiwan-semiconductor-management-safety-workers-2023-8\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSM":"台积电"},"source_url":"https://www.businessinsider.com/tsmc-phoenix-arizona-chip-factory-taiwan-semiconductor-management-safety-workers-2023-8","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2361626044","content_text":"TSMC says its Arizona chip factory's opening has been delayed partly over a skilled-worker shortage.We spoke with two workers at the site who said poor management was the real reason.Some Phoenix workers have also accused the company of safety violations.TSMC's chair, Mark Liu, and workers on-site in Phoenix.

But I can't read your mind.\"Instead of the extensive blueprints he's used to, he said that almost all of his work at TSMC was done by referring to emails and pictures that sometimes included difficult-to-decipher notes. \"TSMC wants you to get the job done with as little amount of information and as fast as possible,\" he said.Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that managerial challenges — fueled in part by cultural differences between TSMC and US workers — had been among the reasons for the factory's delay. In February, TSMC employees told the Times American workers were difficult to manage.The pipe cutter said that TSMC and its key contractors were largely to blame for the management problems.'I would not want to be in these buildings after they're fully complete'Both the pipe cutter and a welder at the Phoenix site told Insider they'd had problems getting the proper materials needed to complete their work. \"The main issue holding American workers, or any workers, for that matter, back is lack of materials,\" the welder said, adding that he sometimes had to wait days to receive what he needed.\"I have no idea how they've made it this far,\" the pipe cutter said of TSMC, adding: \"It's like the Wild West. Everyone's got a job to do, and they just let you all run. And it's with no coordination.\"He said building-code violations were common as well, which had also slowed down construction. \"Sometimes we'll have to do work two or three times because they're like, 'Well, this is how we do it in Taiwan,'\" he said. \"So we build it exactly how they want it, but then as soon as it's put in, we're not going to sign off on it because it's illegal. It's against international building code.\"The pipe cutter said that safety violations were also common on the site. He said in one instance, \"hundreds of pounds of weight\" were loosely hanging 20 to 30 feet above workers' heads — a \"really big safety violation.\"He said many Taiwanese workers on the site wore tennis shoes — rather than boots — and didn't wear safety glasses or gloves.After complaining about one safety issue for two straight weeks, he said, he spoke with a company safety representative.\"He literally told me to my face that we're only here for insurance purposes — they won't let us do anything,\" he said, referring to the company's desire to meet baseline safety requirements. \"And that's when I gave up.\"The pipe cutter isn't the only worker who has raised safety concerns. In June, The American Prospect reported that workers said injuries and safety violations were common on the construction site. \"It's easily the most unsafe site I've ever walked on,\" Luke Kasper, a representative of a union for sheet-metal workers, said.TSMC has defended its commitment to safety. When asked whether there were any safety issues on the site, the company said it was regularly audited against known safety standards and that it conducted its own internal audits of safety records against state and national figures. The company said that in Arizona, its \"recordable safety incident rate\" was nearly 80% lower than nationally reported figures.\"TSMC is deeply committed to workplace safety in the operation of all our facilities, along with each of our active construction projects, including TSMC Arizona,\" the spokesperson said. Earlier this month, after multiple health and safety complaints were sent to the state over the past year, TSMC and the state of Arizona signed a workplace-safety agreement. Both sides agreed to subject the company to higher safety standards than required at the federal level, including closer oversight and increased training and safety visits. The pipe cutter said he was worried for the thousands of workers set to run the factory once it's complete.\"One of the most dangerous places to work in the United States is in a semiconductor facility because there are large amounts of chemicals,\" he said. \"Stuff is going to break, and when it does, these are nasty, nasty chemicals. And that's my worry. I would not want to be in these buildings after they're fully complete.\"'It's not like we're against the Taiwanese workers or anything. We're against TSMC.'When entering the construction site each morning, both workers said they'd experienced delays at every step of the process, from hourlong security lines to challenges procuring the right safety gear, known as a \"bunny suit.\"\"Then you go through the gowning process, and they don't have your size. And then you go to degown, and they don't have your hanger or somebody took your hanger,\" the pipe cutter said. \"It's literally every step of the process. Everything is difficult.\"\"Parking is insane out there with the vehicles and traffic management,\" the welder said.Rather than bringing over more Taiwanese workers, the welder added, TSMC should focus on solving these other problems. \"I have never heard word of what skills we are lacking, nor any word or info at all on what or when we will be trained from their workers,\" he said. The pipe cutter said he thought the workers might be able to help but it was not because US workers lacked skills or expertise.\"As far as TSMC saying that they need the skilled workers, what they really mean is they want the cheaper workers, their guys, to come over here because they don't have to tell them anything,\" he said. \"They can literally just say, 'Hey, this whole row, go build it.'\"He added: \"It's not like we're against the Taiwanese workers or anything. We're against TSMC. TSMC is the problem.\"Both workers said they were sticking it out because the job paid well enough but they hoped to eventually find other work.\"It's the worst job that any of us have ever had, as far as safety and quality and everything,\" the pipe cutter said. \"Every guy that I know is leaving this job as soon as we can.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":426,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179458066,"gmtCreate":1626573478255,"gmtModify":1703761846274,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can be scary.

First it was March, then May, then June, then September, for when experts would say the crash would come. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly. Is it easy to predict? Hardly. The more you hear people talk about it, the more you see it, the more convincing a possible crash gets - yet it's still nothing to fear. There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.</p>\n<p>An Abundance of 'Warnings'</p>\n<p>Simply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Harry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.</li>\n <li>Jeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.</li>\n <li>John Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a >60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Yet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.</p>\n<p>Four Factors</p>\n<p>While there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.</p>\n<p>Excessive Speculation</p>\n<p>Speculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.</p>\n<p>While single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dccc290398aed22a11cf41ae63a85bce\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"453\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Margin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.</p>\n<p>Back in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.</p>\n<p>Speculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.</p>\n<p>Growth Slowdown</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/034a916ba93dac9b099409c5906bee37\" tg-width=\"631\" tg-height=\"563\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromWeForumvia Statista</span></p>\n<p>The economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.</p>\n<p>Unemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.</p>\n<p>The market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.</p>\n<p>Peak Valuations</p>\n<p>Arguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/388dd5417e610209de84d8a86ca86f91\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromBloomberg</span></p>\n<p>February and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising >100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall >50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.</p>\n<p>SPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed. Many of the SPACs that have come public in the past year exhibit those same features - a high investor appetite, ability to raise necessary cash from such appetite, multi-billion dollar valuations, and minimal revenues. General IPOs are also red-hot, with hundreds of companies already joining the markets this year, as investor snap them up quickly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a5ace269e2c48c6ad6bb5180ce32e48\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"535\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Tech stocks that have performed poorly since that 'peak' from January through March include some of those recent IPOs like C3.ai (AI), Lemonade (LMND), Snowflake (SNOW), and others including Appian (APPN) and Fastly (FSLY); aside from Snowflake, which is down 20%, the rest have fallen over 40% from those highs as high P/S multiples reset. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Zscaler (ZS) have managed to maintain such a high multiple with growing cybersecurity tailwinds, and have performed about flat over the same period. While the former six do still have strong, positive growth prospects, sustaining a high multiple is never guaranteed, and a reset that shocks the market shocks these stocks significantly, as seen in their performance.</p>\n<p>But these peak valuations also spread to the blue-chips, and to FAANGM - Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). This basket's PE valuations, on a weighted-by-market-cap basis, sat at 45x earnings in February, pushed higher by Amazon and Apple; at the moment, it sits just above 41.5x. This plays a role in exaggerating the overall S&P PE due to the heavy weighting the group has in the index, which is over 2 standard deviations above its average.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/136219a2e6ea016fd91597c989fa1a9e\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"312\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromCurrent Market Valuation</span></p>\n<p>And as a whole, valuations across the market are becoming more stretched, with each decile seeing its most extreme valuations on a PS basis, topping that of 2000. While high-beta, high-multiple stocks (primarily tech) in decline 10 have exceeded their 2000s level in a steep climb, decile 8 and 9 (likely more stable stocks given historical PS of 2x-4x) have seen that ratio double since 2011, with a surge in 2020 taking the deciles far past averages. While the exact components that make up each decile are unknown, are the drivers in place to solidify such a rapid expansion since 2019? For some stocks, possibly, but for others, it's not as likely. It could be down to a combination of high levels of bullishness in the market, FOMO, stimulus and low rates allowing stocks to run higher even with less fundamental backing.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8ab71b923769effdde5d09e1d3cd3fd\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"354\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromBusiness Insider</span></p>\n<p>Low Interest Rates</p>\n<p>The fourth factor here is low interest rates that begin to rise, which ultimately affect the flow/flood of money into the markets, of which the Fed has supported since 2020. Some experts are seeing that equities in general are exhibiting signs of peak valuations and irrational exuberance, but that can be sustained as long as 'stimulus' in the form of Fed support remains.</p>\n<p>When interest rates are kept lower for an extended period, it increases the chances of bubbles being formed in different asset classes. Thus, one of the biggest risks becomes inflation, the risk that the market is currently digesting.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e8cb16f3b4b962cfa8adbffa4127b92\" tg-width=\"960\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromJP Morgan</span></p>\n<p>Although rates are still low as of right now, the Fed has been facing some different viewpoints as to when it will need to start raising rates to combat inflation. Some see rates as early asnext year,others see it remaining in 2023. A rise in interest rates can spark a crash by removing excess liquidity from the markets (removing the ease of access to liquidity). The Fed has reiterated its belief that inflation is stilltransitory, but a quarter-long spell of higher-than-expected inflation data (just like what has occurred this week with the CPI and PPI rising ahead of expectations), could definitely force a rethinking of rate hikes and shake the market.</p>\n<p>Is It Time To Prepare?</p>\n<p>Signs and signals of bubbly conditions are still here, and preparedness for the possible outcomes and securing a portfolio against those outcomes is a smart idea. All it takes is one catalyst to knock equities back from high valuations and back to lower levels; sings in bonds and the dollar are starting to show rising expectations of tapering and the eventual end of Fed asset-buying and support. While there are numerous experts warning of a crash, it can be nearly impossible to time, and while evidence many of them provide is sound, such claims of<i>x%</i>drops in<i>x</i>month are speculative in nature, unless that individual knows something unknown to the rest of the market.</p>\n<p>When facing a potential bubble or crash situation, hedging portfolios is key in minimizing losses and mitigating downside risk. Derivatives on index ETFs like SPY and DIA could offset potential selloffs in the market, while theQQQcan protect against losses in high-flying tech. For example, a quick case study for an SPY put play for Sept. 17: you assume an expectation for a 10% decline in the SPY to ~$390, and hedging your portfolio could come through a long put for ~$300, a $410/$390/$370 long butterfly for ~$100, or a $410/$390 put debit spread for ~$200. While the first trade has the highest return potential, it brings the highest risk, as the latter two strategies can start to profit on moves closer to -7%. For a $50,000 portfolio, a ~1% hedge could allow the purchase of 3 debit spreads, providing a maximum return of ~$6,000, or 12% of the portfolio value, which could effectively mitigate losses should the SPY fall to or below $390.<i>Note that options strategies are inherently risky, and each investor's risk appetite is different, and such a strategy may not be suitable for everyone. This is merely a case study and shows the potential that a small percentage hedge can have in mitigating downside risk. Be aware of risks to timing and theta decay, and options becoming worthless.</i></p>\n<p>Again, it's difficult to identify and even more difficult to time a bubble, given that the market can remain 'wrong' much longer than you can wait to be right. There's still room to run further with Fed support, but such signs of a potential bubble - excessive speculation, growth slowdown, peak valuations, and low interest rates rising - require awareness and preparedness. Yet it's nothing to fear. Small hedges can minimize downside risk, especially through options if timed well. Understanding the risks to high-flying growth stocks and those trading at or near peak valuations, regardless of sector, is important - many of the IPOs and SPACs have seen high valuations and minimal revenues, leading to exorbitant PS multiples pricing in years of growth, much like 2000. At the end of the day, if or when a crash happens, the opportunities to buy the 'best-of-the-best' companies at very attractive levels, and can provide generous returns.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Don't Fear A Stock Market Crash</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\">\nDon't Fear A Stock Market Crash\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-17 09:00 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4439512-dont-fear-a-stock-market-crash><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWarnings and claims of a stock market crash keep surfacing as the markets continue to push themselves to new records.\nThere are four main factors that this market exhibits that have the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4439512-dont-fear-a-stock-market-crash\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4439512-dont-fear-a-stock-market-crash","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1149577900","content_text":"Summary\n\nWarnings and claims of a stock market crash keep surfacing as the markets continue to push themselves to new records.\nThere are four main factors that this market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash.\nThose factors include excessive speculation, a growth slowdown, peak valuations, and low interest rates rising.\nPreparedness for the possible outcomes stemming from these factors and securing a portfolio against those outcomes could be necessary.\nA crash isn't something to fear, but rather something to take advantage of and capitalize from the bargains being offered.\n\nWarnings and claims of a stock market crash keep surfacing as the markets continue to push themselves to new records.

There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.\nAn Abundance of 'Warnings'\nSimply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.\n\nHarry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.\nJeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.\nJohn Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a >60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"\n\nYet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.\nFour Factors\nWhile there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.\nExcessive Speculation\nSpeculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.\nWhile single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.\n\nMargin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.\nBack in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.\nSpeculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.\nGrowth Slowdown\nGraphic fromWeForumvia Statista\nThe economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.\nUnemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.\nThe market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.\nPeak Valuations\nArguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.\nGraphic fromBloomberg\nFebruary and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising >100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall >50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.\nSPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed. Many of the SPACs that have come public in the past year exhibit those same features - a high investor appetite, ability to raise necessary cash from such appetite, multi-billion dollar valuations, and minimal revenues. General IPOs are also red-hot, with hundreds of companies already joining the markets this year, as investor snap them up quickly.\nData byYCharts\nTech stocks that have performed poorly since that 'peak' from January through March include some of those recent IPOs like C3.ai (AI), Lemonade (LMND), Snowflake (SNOW), and others including Appian (APPN) and Fastly (FSLY); aside from Snowflake, which is down 20%, the rest have fallen over 40% from those highs as high P/S multiples reset. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Zscaler (ZS) have managed to maintain such a high multiple with growing cybersecurity tailwinds, and have performed about flat over the same period. While the former six do still have strong, positive growth prospects, sustaining a high multiple is never guaranteed, and a reset that shocks the market shocks these stocks significantly, as seen in their performance.\nBut these peak valuations also spread to the blue-chips, and to FAANGM - Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). This basket's PE valuations, on a weighted-by-market-cap basis, sat at 45x earnings in February, pushed higher by Amazon and Apple; at the moment, it sits just above 41.5x. This plays a role in exaggerating the overall S&P PE due to the heavy weighting the group has in the index, which is over 2 standard deviations above its average.\nGraphic fromCurrent Market Valuation\nAnd as a whole, valuations across the market are becoming more stretched, with each decile seeing its most extreme valuations on a PS basis, topping that of 2000. While high-beta, high-multiple stocks (primarily tech) in decline 10 have exceeded their 2000s level in a steep climb, decile 8 and 9 (likely more stable stocks given historical PS of 2x-4x) have seen that ratio double since 2011, with a surge in 2020 taking the deciles far past averages. While the exact components that make up each decile are unknown, are the drivers in place to solidify such a rapid expansion since 2019? For some stocks, possibly, but for others, it's not as likely. It could be down to a combination of high levels of bullishness in the market, FOMO, stimulus and low rates allowing stocks to run higher even with less fundamental backing.\nGraphic fromBusiness Insider\nLow Interest Rates\nThe fourth factor here is low interest rates that begin to rise, which ultimately affect the flow/flood of money into the markets, of which the Fed has supported since 2020. Some experts are seeing that equities in general are exhibiting signs of peak valuations and irrational exuberance, but that can be sustained as long as 'stimulus' in the form of Fed support remains.\nWhen interest rates are kept lower for an extended period, it increases the chances of bubbles being formed in different asset classes. Thus, one of the biggest risks becomes inflation, the risk that the market is currently digesting.\nGraphic fromJP Morgan\nAlthough rates are still low as of right now, the Fed has been facing some different viewpoints as to when it will need to start raising rates to combat inflation. Some see rates as early asnext year,others see it remaining in 2023. A rise in interest rates can spark a crash by removing excess liquidity from the markets (removing the ease of access to liquidity). The Fed has reiterated its belief that inflation is stilltransitory, but a quarter-long spell of higher-than-expected inflation data (just like what has occurred this week with the CPI and PPI rising ahead of expectations), could definitely force a rethinking of rate hikes and shake the market.\nIs It Time To Prepare?\nSigns and signals of bubbly conditions are still here, and preparedness for the possible outcomes and securing a portfolio against those outcomes is a smart idea. All it takes is one catalyst to knock equities back from high valuations and back to lower levels; sings in bonds and the dollar are starting to show rising expectations of tapering and the eventual end of Fed asset-buying and support. While there are numerous experts warning of a crash, it can be nearly impossible to time, and while evidence many of them provide is sound, such claims ofx%drops inxmonth are speculative in nature, unless that individual knows something unknown to the rest of the market.\nWhen facing a potential bubble or crash situation, hedging portfolios is key in minimizing losses and mitigating downside risk. Derivatives on index ETFs like SPY and DIA could offset potential selloffs in the market, while theQQQcan protect against losses in high-flying tech. For example, a quick case study for an SPY put play for Sept. 17: you assume an expectation for a 10% decline in the SPY to ~$390, and hedging your portfolio could come through a long put for ~$300, a $410/$390/$370 long butterfly for ~$100, or a $410/$390 put debit spread for ~$200. While the first trade has the highest return potential, it brings the highest risk, as the latter two strategies can start to profit on moves closer to -7%. For a $50,000 portfolio, a ~1% hedge could allow the purchase of 3 debit spreads, providing a maximum return of ~$6,000, or 12% of the portfolio value, which could effectively mitigate losses should the SPY fall to or below $390.Note that options strategies are inherently risky, and each investor's risk appetite is different, and such a strategy may not be suitable for everyone. This is merely a case study and shows the potential that a small percentage hedge can have in mitigating downside risk. Be aware of risks to timing and theta decay, and options becoming worthless.\nAgain, it's difficult to identify and even more difficult to time a bubble, given that the market can remain 'wrong' much longer than you can wait to be right. There's still room to run further with Fed support, but such signs of a potential bubble - excessive speculation, growth slowdown, peak valuations, and low interest rates rising - require awareness and preparedness. Yet it's nothing to fear. Small hedges can minimize downside risk, especially through options if timed well. Understanding the risks to high-flying growth stocks and those trading at or near peak valuations, regardless of sector, is important - many of the IPOs and SPACs have seen high valuations and minimal revenues, leading to exorbitant PS multiples pricing in years of growth, much like 2000. At the end of the day, if or when a crash happens, the opportunities to buy the 'best-of-the-best' companies at very attractive levels, and can provide generous returns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":593,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071260056,"gmtCreate":1657540733075,"gmtModify":1676536022138,"author":{"id":"3575796343019537","authorId":"3575796343019537","name":"WEEWIN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee27d01b572fbf6a8fcda10a7ac0597f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575796343019537","authorIdStr":"3575796343019537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"☹️","listText":"☹️","text":"☹️","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071260056","repostId":"1153743725","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153743725","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":1657531372,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1153743725?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-11 17:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GlobalFoundries Slid Over 3% in Premarket Trading After Deciding to Build a French Microchip Plant","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153743725","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"GlobalFoundries slid over 3% while STMicroelectronics remained almost flat in premarket trading afte","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>GlobalFoundries slid over 3% while STMicroelectronics remained almost flat in premarket trading after deciding to build a French microchip plant.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bdc5b2223c2aa546e9ab18763d07d103\" tg-width=\"668\" tg-height=\"549\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e03b04fd9fd844e4e6cf0ff75cee934\" tg-width=\"667\" tg-height=\"548\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>GlobalFoundries Inc and STMicroelectronics will announce on Monday plans to build a semiconductor factory in France for an investment of nearly 4 billion euros, as part of Europe's efforts to boost its independence in microchips.</p><p>This would help support a push from the European Commission to produce 20% of the world's microchips in Europe by 2030.</p><p>The investment is expected to be announced during the fifth edition of the President Emmanuel Macron's "Choose France" summit to be held on Monday in Versailles.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

On top of that, Chinese consumers use e-commerce solutions widely, which naturally means that there is a very large, and growing, market opportunity for online shopping companies such as Alibaba Group (BABA) and JD.com Inc. (JD). In this article, we will take a look at these two companies, how they compare, their similarities and differences, and try to find out which company is the better pick at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>BABA is one of the largest Chinese tech companies, being valued at $590 billion. Its shares are up by triple digits since the IPO a couple of years ago, but over the more recent past, BABA has not been a strong performer. At $214 today, shares are down around one-third from the peak that was hit last fall. This underperformance was, in part, driven by thefailed Ant Financial IPOand by increased scrutiny by Chinese regulators.</p>\n<p>These factors have, however, not negatively impacted BABA's results. Instead, the company kept generating strong growth rates in recent quarters, which indicates that the recent share price underperformance was likely driven by weak sentiment and reluctance to invest in Chinese companies to a significant degree.</p>\n<p>Based on current earnings forecasts for this year, BABA shares are trading for just 21x this year's earnings. This seems like a very inexpensive valuation -- especially when one considers that the company is still growing at a rapid pace, with revenue growthranging from 36% to 81%during the last four quarters.</p>\n<p><b>JD.com Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>JD is, like BABA, a company that has seen its shares rise strongly over the last couple of years. It shares another similarity with its larger peer, however, as its shares have also underperformed in the recent past. JD's shares peaked in February and are down by 33% from the high today, dropping from $108 to $72 in a couple of months. As stated above, growing reluctance when it comes to investing in Chinese equities, coupled with some worries about a regulatory crackdown, play a role in JD's weak share price performance.</p>\n<p>The company has, at the same time, seen its shares peak at a similar time to those of other high-growth, high-valuation stocks such as Tesla (TSLA). The share price underperformance in recent months may thus also be driven by a shift fromgrowth stocks to value stocks, and by the so-called reopening trade. At its current share price, JD.com is valued at around $110 billion, which is around one-fifth of Alibaba's valuation.</p>\n<p>Unlike BABA, JD is not trading at a discount to the broad market, as shares are currently valued at 45x this year's earnings per share, using current consensus estimates for adjusted EPS, which back out some one-time items. JD thus trades at a 100%+ premium compared to BABA, although it should be mentioned that other e-commerce players from different countries, such as US-based Amazon (AMZN), trade at similar or even higher valuations. Amazon trades at 59x this year's expected EPS, for example, while South America-focused MercadoLibre (MELI) trades at more than 2000x this year's expected net profits. JD thus is clearly way more expensive than BABA, but in comparison to international peers, its valuation is not at all outrageously high.</p>\n<p><b>Are JD.com and Alibaba Competitors?</b></p>\n<p>JD.com Inc. and Alibaba Group both operate in the e-commerce space, although their business models are not exactly the same. Alibaba is primarily a platform provider, where third-party sellers offer their merchandise while Alibaba receives a platform fee without handling packaging, logistics, etc. themselves. JD.com, on the other hand, sells, like Amazon, products themselves, which includes handling, transportation, packaging, etc. JD does offer a marketplace for third-party sellers as well, but this is not their primary business, which differentiates them from BABA to some degree. JD, due to handling logistics themselves, has invested heavily in tech in this area, which includes using drones and robots to deliver products to customers.</p>\n<p>Both companies do, on top of operating e-commerce operations, also invest in a wide range of other projects and businesses. This includes, for example, BABA's<i>Alibaba Cloud</i>and JD's autonomous vehicles venture.</p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the two companies do operate somewhat different business models, they are, of course, still competitors. Both serve the Chinese online shopping/e-commerce consumer market, and both seek to maximize their platforms' share of dollars that are spent online in the country. Luckily, the Chinese e-commerce market islarge and grows rapidly, which means that both companies can grow their top lines at the same time - there is enough room for both to grow profitably.</p>\n<p><b>What Is The Difference Between Alibaba And JD?</b></p>\n<p>The aforementioned fact that both companies have somewhat different business models is one key difference between the two, and it has implications for the fundamentals these companies are operating with:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c26f2ff289114ca6ac216d075961f252\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"></p>\n<p>Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Since BABA does operate asset-light, and without having to handle a lot of logistics, BABA generates significantly higher margins than JD, no matter whether one takes a look at gross margins, EBITDA margins, or operating margins. JD's margins look more like those of Amazon, i.e. significantly lower, which isn't a large surprise -- like Amazon, JD has high expenses for packaging, handling, storage, and so on.</p>\n<p>Another big difference is the respective size of the two companies. BABA, being valued at 5x JD's market cap, and generating net profits that are about 10x higher than those of JD, is a significantly larger company. The two don't differ too much in terms of revenue generation, however, which can be explained by the different business models -- JD has high revenue per product, at a low margin, whereas BABA's business model that focuses on platform fees generates lower revenue per product at much higher margins.</p>\n<p>Overall, I'd rate BABA's business model more attractive. In a downturn, BABA's way higher margins will allow the company to stomach some margin pressure more easily, and its fee-based operations are lean and do result in low capital expenditure requirements. This, in turn, allows BABA to put a lot of free cash towards other business units, such as its cloud computing unit, while BABA has also been highly active in M&A as well.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Vs. JD.com: Which Is The Best Chinese Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Several things should be considered here, including fundamentals, growth, valuation, and risk factors. As stated above, BABA's business model allows for better fundamentals, and I believe that this will not change in the foreseeable future, as the much higher margins seem to be inherent for a company utilizing this platform approach.</p>\n<p>Looking at growth, we see that both have grown rapidly in recent years, including during pandemic-impacted 2020. Current analyst consensus estimates for the coming years look like this:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd91edeaa64807108941f40b4570b3e8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"535\"></p>\n<p>Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Alibaba is forecasted to grow its revenue by 21% in 2022, and by 18% in 2023. JD.com, meanwhile, is forecasted to grow its top line by 21% in 2022, and by 19% in 2023 -- these are very similar growth rates. Long-term earnings per share growth estimates are not too far from each other, either, as BABA is seen growing its EPS by 27% a year, whereas JD is seen growing its EPS by 32% a year.</p>\n<p>It makes, I believe, sense to expect that JD will grow its net profits faster, due to the fact that its margins have more upside potential, and that operating leverage should be more beneficial for a company like JD with its high fixed costs. Nevertheless, the growth outlook is relatively similar for these two companies. Since both operate in a similar market with their core businesses and will benefit from ongoing consumer spending growth and digitalization, it makes sense that there are no ultra-large discrepancies here.</p>\n<p>Looking at risk factors for both companies, we can say that both are heavily exposed to the Chinese economy, with all potential risks this entails. If economic growth slows down in China, both will be impacted. Similarly, if regulators crack down on e-commerce, both would be impacted. If a new strong competitor enters the Chinese e-commerce market, both companies could lose market share.</p>\n<p>Since Alibaba is a larger company, and since its founder Jack Ma seems to be more politically exposed compared to key execs at JD.com, one could argue that political/regulatory risks are more pronounced at Alibaba compared to JD.com. I personally do not see this as a very large risk factor, however, as it would not seem logical for Chinese politicians to hurt either of these two high-growth tech companies.</p>\n<p>To sum this section up, I'd say that Alibaba trades at a massive discount compared to JD.com, which is the key argument here. Growth may be a little better at JD, while fundamentals are a little better at BABA. But these differences pale compared to the ultra-large difference in the valuations of both companies: BABA, at 21x this year's earnings, seems like a better pick than JD, at 45x this year's earnings.</p>\n<p>BABA's valuation is also significantly lower when we look at other metrics such as EV to EBITDA, which accounts for different debt levels. Here BABA is also way cheaper than JD, trading at 17x forward EBITDA (according to YCharts), compared to a 30x forward EBITDA valuation for its smaller peer.</p>\n<p>BABA is my favorite among these two right now, with valuation being the key factor. If JD were to trade at a similarly low valuation as BABA, the story might be a different one. But I don't think JD is a better pick than BABA when having an almost identical growth outlook while trading at a 100%+ premium.

On top of that, Chinese consumers use e-commerce solutions widely, which naturally means that there is a very large, and growing, market opportunity for online shopping companies such as Alibaba Group (BABA) and JD.com Inc. (JD). In this article, we will take a look at these two companies, how they compare, their similarities and differences, and try to find out which company is the better pick at current prices.\nAlibaba Stock Price\nBABA is one of the largest Chinese tech companies, being valued at $590 billion. Its shares are up by triple digits since the IPO a couple of years ago, but over the more recent past, BABA has not been a strong performer. At $214 today, shares are down around one-third from the peak that was hit last fall. This underperformance was, in part, driven by thefailed Ant Financial IPOand by increased scrutiny by Chinese regulators.\nThese factors have, however, not negatively impacted BABA's results. Instead, the company kept generating strong growth rates in recent quarters, which indicates that the recent share price underperformance was likely driven by weak sentiment and reluctance to invest in Chinese companies to a significant degree.\nBased on current earnings forecasts for this year, BABA shares are trading for just 21x this year's earnings. This seems like a very inexpensive valuation -- especially when one considers that the company is still growing at a rapid pace, with revenue growthranging from 36% to 81%during the last four quarters.\nJD.com Stock Price\nJD is, like BABA, a company that has seen its shares rise strongly over the last couple of years. It shares another similarity with its larger peer, however, as its shares have also underperformed in the recent past. JD's shares peaked in February and are down by 33% from the high today, dropping from $108 to $72 in a couple of months. As stated above, growing reluctance when it comes to investing in Chinese equities, coupled with some worries about a regulatory crackdown, play a role in JD's weak share price performance.\nThe company has, at the same time, seen its shares peak at a similar time to those of other high-growth, high-valuation stocks such as Tesla (TSLA). The share price underperformance in recent months may thus also be driven by a shift fromgrowth stocks to value stocks, and by the so-called reopening trade. At its current share price, JD.com is valued at around $110 billion, which is around one-fifth of Alibaba's valuation.\nUnlike BABA, JD is not trading at a discount to the broad market, as shares are currently valued at 45x this year's earnings per share, using current consensus estimates for adjusted EPS, which back out some one-time items. JD thus trades at a 100%+ premium compared to BABA, although it should be mentioned that other e-commerce players from different countries, such as US-based Amazon (AMZN), trade at similar or even higher valuations. Amazon trades at 59x this year's expected EPS, for example, while South America-focused MercadoLibre (MELI) trades at more than 2000x this year's expected net profits. JD thus is clearly way more expensive than BABA, but in comparison to international peers, its valuation is not at all outrageously high.\nAre JD.com and Alibaba Competitors?\nJD.com Inc. and Alibaba Group both operate in the e-commerce space, although their business models are not exactly the same. Alibaba is primarily a platform provider, where third-party sellers offer their merchandise while Alibaba receives a platform fee without handling packaging, logistics, etc. themselves. JD.com, on the other hand, sells, like Amazon, products themselves, which includes handling, transportation, packaging, etc. JD does offer a marketplace for third-party sellers as well, but this is not their primary business, which differentiates them from BABA to some degree. JD, due to handling logistics themselves, has invested heavily in tech in this area, which includes using drones and robots to deliver products to customers.\nBoth companies do, on top of operating e-commerce operations, also invest in a wide range of other projects and businesses. This includes, for example, BABA'sAlibaba Cloudand JD's autonomous vehicles venture.\nDespite the fact that the two companies do operate somewhat different business models, they are, of course, still competitors. Both serve the Chinese online shopping/e-commerce consumer market, and both seek to maximize their platforms' share of dollars that are spent online in the country. Luckily, the Chinese e-commerce market islarge and grows rapidly, which means that both companies can grow their top lines at the same time - there is enough room for both to grow profitably.\nWhat Is The Difference Between Alibaba And JD?\nThe aforementioned fact that both companies have somewhat different business models is one key difference between the two, and it has implications for the fundamentals these companies are operating with:\n\nData byYCharts\nSince BABA does operate asset-light, and without having to handle a lot of logistics, BABA generates significantly higher margins than JD, no matter whether one takes a look at gross margins, EBITDA margins, or operating margins.
