For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135606062,"gmtCreate":1622159916456,"gmtModify":1704180470679,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hotel shares at high levels","listText":"Hotel shares at high levels","text":"Hotel shares at high levels","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135606062","repostId":"2138926179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138926179","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1622148060,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138926179?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-28 04:41","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Airbnb, Vrbo and Vacasa vacation rental fees are making hotels seem like a bargain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138926179","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019.\n","content":"<blockquote>\n Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Ovi Kabir, a digital marketing consultant in Knoxville, Tenn., was unpleasantly surprised when looking for an Airbnb for a recent trip to Nashville . While he was able to find options below his $85 a night budget, cleaning fees of $200 to $300 drove up the price of a weekend getaway considerably.</p>\n<p>\"I understand there may be reasons for it, but we've found hotels have been a lot more accommodating and price-friendly,\" Kabir said.</p>\n<p>Kabir booked his first Airbnb a few years ago in Orlando, Fla. He remembers paying about $50 a night for private dog-friendly accommodations, a bargain in the eyes of a broke college couple with Harry Potter dreams. \"Our Universal [Studios] tickets cost more than our whole stay,\" he said.</p>\n<p>Kabir has since become used to paying between $100 and $110 a night for an upgraded hotel room with breakfast, cleaning, gyms, pools and more. \"Before, you gave up amenities but were saving money,\" Kabir said. \"Now you're paying the same price, but getting more for your money at hotels.\"</p>\n<p>Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019, according to AirDNA, an analytics firm that tracks data from Airbnb and Vrbo, a vacation home rental website owned by <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a>.</p>\n<p>That increase has been driven partly by a preference for larger spaces in vacation markets, places where AirDNA shows cleaning fees already are typically higher. A heightened focus on cleanliness has also played a role.</p>\n<p>\"It is expected that cleaning fees would increase throughout a pandemic as guests' expectations related to cleanliness have also increased, which means more time and labor needed to meet those higher standards,\" AirDNA said.</p>\n<p>The average cleaning fee for a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> bedroom entire-home short-term rental is currently between $48 and $112 a night, depending on the location. In a large urban city like New York, the average is just under $76, according to AirDNA's data.</p>\n<p>Larger homes typically command larger cleaning fees, especially when they're by the beach. The average cleaning fee for a five bedroom or larger entire-home rental in a coastal area is just over $381, AirDNA reports.</p>\n<p>Cleaning is a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time fee, but it does factor into guest service fees. The higher the cleaning fee, the higher the service fee a guest can expect to pay on top of their nightly room rate and other fees that may be applicable. Most guests end up paying a service fee around 14.2%, Airbnb said .</p>\n<p>Vrbo began charging guests a variable service fee in 2016. The percentage of that fee depends on the cost of the rental and is levied on top of cleaning, hot tub or other fees charged and set by property owners. \"We saw that not having a service fee was not creating a brand difference that meaningfully resulted in bookings,\" Vrbo wrote in a guide aimed at helping hosts in Australia understand the charge.</p>\n<p>Vacasa, an Oregon company that manages more than 25,000 vacation rentals, charges guests separate booking and cleaning fees. In some states, guests face an additional damage waiver fee as well. There are also extra fees for properties with hot tubs and guests traveling with pets.</p>\n<p>The company didn't respond to interview requests for this article but defended its hot tub fee online, describing hot tubs as \"a special treat\" on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> in 2019. \"The tubs get well-used, and we have to clean, drain, and maintain them to keep them in good shape,\" Vacasa tweeted in response to someone who posted a screenshot showing a $98 hot tub fee for a $118-a-night property with an additional $102.50 cleaning fee.</p>\n<p>Teddy Montoya said he's still scarred from the fees related to a 2017 work trip to Keystone, a popular ski destination in the Rocky Mountains. Montoya and his colleagues decided to save the boss some money by booking a six-bedroom house on Airbnb instead of individual hotel rooms for a conference. The plan backfired.Between service fees, cleaning fees and taxes, the house ended up costing more.</p>\n<p>\"It was kind of our fault,\" Montoya said. \"We didn't look too far into the fine print.\" He now leans toward hotels. \"They tend to be cheaper than Airbnb and Vrbo.\"</p>\n<p>That has become especially true in some high-priced cities. In San Francisco, for example, average nightly hotel rates in 2020 fell to about half the price of comparable Airbnbs, according to an analysis from the bus and train travel comparison site Wanderu .</p>\n<p>That analysis, released in October 2020, showed Airbnb rentals in Chicago to be 21% more expensive than hotel rooms in the Windy City. In Miami, travelers can expect to pay 64% more for an Airbnb than they would a hotel, according to Wanderu.</p>\n<p>While Vacasa sets its own cleaning fee, Airbnb and Vrbo don't cap the cleaning fees hosts can set. \"Hosts need to set their own cleaning fees because everyone is in a different position when it comes to cleaning,\" Airbnb said in response to people complaining on the internet about its fee structure .</p>\n<p>Nearly half of the Airbnb listings around the world choose not to charge a separate cleaning fee at all, the company said. For those hosts who do charge a separate cleaning fee, the figure is typically under 10% of their total reservation cost, Airbnb wrote.</p>\n<p>Vrbo said last month that it's now seeing more travelers settle in for seven-night stays instead of opting for quick three-night getaways, an approach that would leave guests paying a little less for cleaning each night.</p>\n<p>Across vacation rental platforms, hosts are free to set their own nightly rates.</p>\n<p>While Airbnb suggested a nightly rate of at least $120 for her one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, Trista Kempa set her price at $200 a night. \"It definitely is a high fee, but it has to be worth it for me to feel compelled to leave,\" she said.</p>\n<p>Living in New York early in her career, Kempa began renting out her personal living space on Airbnb to subsidize her rent. As her career and salary have grown, Airbnb has become an option, and not a necessity. She's adjusted her pricing accordingly.</p>\n<p>Kempa adds a $190 cleaning fee on top of her nightly rate -- a figure based on supply costs, laundry prices and the $150 she paid when she last had her apartment professionally cleaned. \"As a host, I have no intention of pulling a fast one on the guest,\" she said. \"It's going to cost me $190 to turn over this apartment.\"</p>\n<p>Her approach also encourages longer stays, which are more convenient for her. \"It's not worth it for me for under a couple of days,\" she said.

Not only is there a lot of prep and cleanup involved, but there's an intangible negative as well.\n\"You're letting someone sleep in your bed,\" Kempa said. \"That kind of sucks.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132193157,"gmtCreate":1622074822479,"gmtModify":1704178862231,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah. //<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/3575848243295753\">@MKD</a>: Happening everywhere&nbsp;","listText":"Yeah. //<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/3575848243295753\">@MKD</a>: Happening everywhere&nbsp;","text":"Yeah. //@MKD: Happening everywhere","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/132193157","repostId":"2138198066","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132107438,"gmtCreate":1622074729924,"gmtModify":1704178857971,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/132107438","repostId":"2138413791","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138413791","pubTimestamp":1622065443,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138413791?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-27 05:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon’s Entertainment Head Gets Second Chance to Find Its Own ‘Game of Thrones’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138413791","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- When news broke in mid-May that Jeff Blackburn was rejoining Amazon.com Inc. to run t","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- When news broke in mid-May that Jeff Blackburn was rejoining Amazon.com Inc. to run the company’s entertainment division, industry observers figured big changes were afoot.

The Census Bureau also revised the March figure for new home sales down to 917,000. Compared to last year, new home sales were still shown to be up 48%.</p><p>The new home sales report is prone to very significant revisions, as evidenced by the confidence interval cited in the April print. The Census Bureau noted that the change in new home sales between March and April could be 11.2% larger or smaller than what it is currently reporting.</p><p>The median forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch was 959,000.</p><p>What happened: Sales rates decreased in every part of the country except for the West, where they rose 3.9%. The largest sales decline occurred in the Northeast, with a nearly 14% drop.</p><p>The inventory of new homes for sale at the end of April was down from March. It equated to a 3.8-month supply, down from a 4.6-month supply the month before.</p><p>The big picture: Some analysts warned that new home sales may disappoint ahead of the report's release. Pantheon Macroeconomics chief economist Ian Shepherdson had projected a larger decline than what occurred, citing trends in mortgage application data. The Mortgage Bankers Association's data to that extent has suggested declining demand among home buyers.</p><p>\"Over time, though--and usually not much time--new home sales gravitate to the pace implied by the trend in mortgage applications,\" Shepherdson wrote in a research note. \"So, absent any other reliable near-time indicators of the pace of sales, we have to expect a steep drop in April.\"</p><p>The decline in mortgage demand could be a reflection of both buyers' and builders' concerns about affordability, as mortgage rates have risen this year alongside home prices. The market for new homes is seeing price pressures not just due to the high demand for housing but also because of rising material costs that are driving construction expenses higher.</p><p>\"Builders are reluctant to sign sales contracts for houses they haven't broken ground on because of the possibility that costs will continue to rise, nibbling into profits,\" said Holden Lewis, housing and mortgage expert at personal-finance website NerdWallet. \"So some builders are waiting at least until houses are framed before accepting buyers' offers. This limits the number of home sales, even as demand remains strong.\"</p><p>What they're saying: \"The market for new homes has benefitted from a near-record low supply of available resale properties, which is sending prices skyward,\" said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, in a research note.</p><p>Market reaction: The Dow Jones Industrial Average   and S&amp;P 500 index   were both up slightly following the report's release, while homebuilder stocks -- including D.R.

Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity</h2>\n<p>Although there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant.

stock market had a tough day on Monday, and once again, negative attention centered on theNasdaq","content":"<p>The stock market had a tough day on Monday, and once again, negative attention centered on the<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>(NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC). The index's 1% drop as of 2:15 p.m. EDT was bigger than what other major market benchmarks faced, in part because the appetite for high-priced stocks seems to have waned considerably over the past few months.</p>\n<p>However, a couple of Nasdaq stocks were big winners on Monday, and they both have innovative business models that could have a positive influence on the world.&nbsp;<b>AppHarvest</b>(NASDAQ:APPH)&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Summit Therapeutics</b>(NASDAQ:SMMT)had notable gains to start the week. Below, we'll go into the details to see why investors are paying close attention to these two Nasdaq winners.</p>\n<p>Investors are feeding on this stock</p>\n<p>Shares of AppHarvest had a solid gain of more than 8% on Monday afternoon. The stock only recently came public through a merger with aspecial purpose acquisition company, and this was the first chance that investors had to see the sustainable-farming company's full potential.</p>\n<p>AppHarvest released its first-quarter financial reporton Monday, and shareholders liked what they saw. The company posted $2.3 million in revenue in its first operational quarter, selling 3.8 million pounds of tomatoes from its first greenhouse facility in Kentucky. AppHarvest posted considerable losses, as expected, but it has high hopes for the future.</p>\n<p>In particular, AppHarvest said that it had fully planted its 60-acre facility as of the first week of May, which should lead to capacity harvests for the foreseeable future as indoor farming makes all-year growing possible. The company has seen strong demand from customers like grocery-giant<b>Kroger</b>&nbsp;and fast-food restaurant chain<b>Wendy's</b>&nbsp;and anticipates more interest as it develops additional facilities.</p>\n<p>AppHarvest won't be profitable in the near term, but shareholders are still excited about its growth potential. With sustainable farming potentially making it possible to feed an increasingly hungry world, the stock is an interesting way to invest in agriculture.</p>\n<p>Here's a healthy pick</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Summit Therapeutics did even better, as its stock soared 22%. The developmental-stage biopharmaceutical company's financial report didn't feature very attractive numbers, but investors are optimistic about the progress it has made recently.</p>\n<p>Summit's financials were predictably ugly. Revenue was just $192,000, leading to losses of $17.5 million. Summit is burning cash to conduct clinical trials, and until one of the treatments in the company's pipeline pans out, investors can expect those losses to continue. However, the company noted that CEO and majority shareholder Robert Duggan provided an additional $55 million in debt financing during the first three months of 2021, helping to boost Summit's cash levels back above the $100 million mark.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Summit had promising news in its business update.

The index's 1% drop as of 2:15 p.m. EDT was bigger than what other major market benchmarks faced, in part because the appetite for high-priced stocks seems to have waned considerably over the past few months.\nHowever, a couple of Nasdaq stocks were big winners on Monday, and they both have innovative business models that could have a positive influence on the world. AppHarvest(NASDAQ:APPH) and Summit Therapeutics(NASDAQ:SMMT)had notable gains to start the week. Below, we'll go into the details to see why investors are paying close attention to these two Nasdaq winners.\nInvestors are feeding on this stock\nShares of AppHarvest had a solid gain of more than 8% on Monday afternoon. The stock only recently came public through a merger with aspecial purpose acquisition company, and this was the first chance that investors had to see the sustainable-farming company's full potential.\nAppHarvest released its first-quarter financial reporton Monday, and shareholders liked what they saw. The company posted $2.3 million in revenue in its first operational quarter, selling 3.8 million pounds of tomatoes from its first greenhouse facility in Kentucky. AppHarvest posted considerable losses, as expected, but it has high hopes for the future.\nIn particular, AppHarvest said that it had fully planted its 60-acre facility as of the first week of May, which should lead to capacity harvests for the foreseeable future as indoor farming makes all-year growing possible. The company has seen strong demand from customers like grocery-giantKroger and fast-food restaurant chainWendy's and anticipates more interest as it develops additional facilities.\nAppHarvest won't be profitable in the near term, but shareholders are still excited about its growth potential. With sustainable farming potentially making it possible to feed an increasingly hungry world, the stock is an interesting way to invest in agriculture.\nHere's a healthy pick\nMeanwhile, Summit Therapeutics did even better, as its stock soared 22%. The developmental-stage biopharmaceutical company's financial report didn't feature very attractive numbers, but investors are optimistic about the progress it has made recently.\nSummit's financials were predictably ugly. Revenue was just $192,000, leading to losses of $17.5 million. Summit is burning cash to conduct clinical trials, and until one of the treatments in the company's pipeline pans out, investors can expect those losses to continue. However, the company noted that CEO and majority shareholder Robert Duggan provided an additional $55 million in debt financing during the first three months of 2021, helping to boost Summit's cash levels back above the $100 million mark.\nMoreover, Summit had promising news in its business update. Phase 3 trials for its ridinilazole antibiotic are ongoing, with support from the federal government's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Moreover, the company just launched a new study for adolescents, hoping to establish a favorable safety profile as a complement to its concurrent phase 3 program.\nSummit's share price has been volatile as investors try to determine whether the company will find success with its clinical program. As with most companies in the industry, Summit could see either massive upside or suffer big losses depending on what happens with ridinilazole and the other candidates in its pipeline.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195724265,"gmtCreate":1621318984257,"gmtModify":1704355709443,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"H taiwannn","listText":"H taiwannn","text":"H taiwannn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195724265","repostId":"2136394963","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136394963","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1621311510,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136394963?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-18 12:18","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Taiwan shares surge nearly 5%, easing dollar supports Asian FX","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136394963","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Taiwan in talks with nations for COVID-19 vaccines* Worries in Indonesia of a surge in cases after","content":"<p>* Taiwan in talks with nations for COVID-19 vaccines</p><p>* Worries in Indonesia of a surge in cases after holidays</p><p>* Taiwan has plenty of fiscal firepower, expects measures - analyst</p><p>May 18 (Reuters) - Battered stocks markets in Taiwan and Singapore jumped on Tuesday, shrugging off fears over the impact of renewed coronavirus restrictions, while a weaker U.S. dollar lent support to Asia's emerging currencies.</p><p>Taiwan recouped Monday's sharp loss, rising nearly 5% while neighbouring Japan   , suffering from its own spike in cases and slow vaccination drive, jumped 2%.

But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.</p>\n<p>It turns out S&amp;P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&amp;P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.</p>\n<p>But knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.</p>\n<h3>Know The Reality In Inflation Numbers</h3>\n<p>It's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&amp;P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>Know, too, simply owning the S&amp;P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before. These sectors hold small weights in the S&amp;P 500. Energy holds just a 2.9% weight in the S&amp;P 500. Meanwhile, materials account for 2.9% and real estate 2.5%. ETFs can fill in the gaps.</p>\n<p>ETFs and exchange-traded notes, too, can offer inflation protection. The $60 billion in assets SPDR Gold Trust moves with the price of gold. The $3 billion in assets United States Oil Fund tracks the price of crude oil. And the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> TIPS Bond ETF tracks U.S. Treasuries, adjusted for inflation.</p>\n<p>But just know inflation, alone, doesn't determine S&amp;P 500 returns. \"Inflation is just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> input into equity prices and returns, and on its own it explains very little about how stocks will do over the longer term,\" Colas says.</p>\n<h3>Top S&amp;P 500 Stocks In The 1970s</h3>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Symbol</th>\n   <th>70's % ch.</th>\n   <th>Stock YTD % ch.</th>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Nucor</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>2,830.3%</td>\n   <td>89.5%</td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>99</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Schlumberger</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>1,031.7%</td>\n   <td>45.5%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>72</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Baker Hughes</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>856.4%</td>\n   <td>16.8%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>78</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Archer Daniels Midland</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>742.5%</td>\n   <td>33.2%</td>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>90</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Teleflex</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>597.3%</td>\n   <td>-4.7%</td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>General Dynamics</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>445.0%</td>\n   <td>28.5%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>65</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Boeing</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>440.0%</td>\n   <td>4.0%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>35</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HFC\">HollyFrontier</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>427.3%</td>\n   <td>31.1%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>42</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Halliburton</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>417.8%</td>\n   <td>18.4%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>63</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Tyler Technologies</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>347.3%</td>\n   <td>-11.3%</td>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Sources: IBD, S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</h5>","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>Afraid Of Inflation?

Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.\nWere these periods devastating for the S&P 500? Hardly. The S&P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.\nInflation itself doesn't steer the S&P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.\n\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"\nLook To The 1970s For S&P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)\nS&P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.\nDuring the 1970s, the S&P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.\nIt turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only one of the 11 S&P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.\nSo where where the places to be? S&P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company Nucor gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms Schlumberger and Baker Hughes jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.\n\n\n\nSector\nAverage monthly return during the 1970s\n\n\n\n\nEnergy\n1.6%\n\n\nMaterials\n1.4\n\n\nReal Estate\n1.2\n\n\nCommunications Services\n0.9\n\n\nInformation Technology\n0.7\n\n\nIndustrials\n0.6\n\n\nConsumer Discretionary\n0.3\n\n\nUtilities\n0.1\n\n\nHealth Care\n0.1\n\n\nConsumer Staples\n0\n\n\nFinancials\n-0.8\n\n\nS&P 500\n-0.3\n\n\n\nSource: CFRA\nDon't Overlook S&P 500 Commodity Strength\nDigging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.\nGold and precious metals companies in the S&P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.\nKnow, too, simply owning the S&P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before. These sectors hold small weights in the S&P 500. Energy holds just a 2.9% weight in the S&P 500. Meanwhile, materials account for 2.9% and real estate 2.5%. ETFs can fill in the gaps.\nETFs and exchange-traded notes, too, can offer inflation protection. The $60 billion in assets SPDR Gold Trust moves with the price of gold. The $3 billion in assets United States Oil Fund tracks the price of crude oil. And the iShares TIPS Bond ETF tracks U.S. Treasuries, adjusted for inflation.\nBut just know inflation, alone, doesn't determine S&P 500 returns. \"Inflation is just one input into equity prices and returns, and on its own it explains very little about how stocks will do over the longer term,\" Colas says.\nTop S&P 500 Stocks In The 1970s\n\n\n\nCompany\nSymbol\n70's % ch.\nStock YTD % ch.\nSector\nComposite Rating\n\n\n\n\nNucor\n\n2,830.3%\n89.5%\nMaterials\n99\n\n\nSchlumberger\n\n1,031.7%\n45.5%\nEnergy\n72\n\n\nBaker Hughes\n\n856.4%\n16.8%\nEnergy\n78\n\n\nArcher Daniels Midland\n\n742.5%\n33.2%\nConsumer Staples\n90\n\n\nTeleflex\n\n597.3%\n-4.7%\nHealth Care\n45\n\n\nGeneral Dynamics\n\n445.0%\n28.5%\nIndustrials\n65\n\n\nBoeing\n\n440.0%\n4.0%\nIndustrials\n35\n\n\nHollyFrontier\n\n427.3%\n31.1%\nEnergy\n42\n\n\nHalliburton\n\n417.8%\n18.4%\nEnergy\n63\n\n\nTyler Technologies\n\n347.3%\n-11.3%\nInformation Technology\n45\n\n\n\nSources: IBD, S&P Global Market Intelligence","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":240,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196005148,"gmtCreate":1620997126884,"gmtModify":1704351708021,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ai","listText":"Ai","text":"Ai","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/196005148","repostId":"1144069653","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144069653","pubTimestamp":1620992717,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144069653?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 19:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Rather than ‘Will cryptos drop to zero?’, investors should be asking this question instead, says strategist","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144069653","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Critical information for the U.S. trading day.\n\nStocks are looking up at the end of a volatile week ","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Critical information for the U.S. trading day.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Stocks are looking up at the end of a volatile week for both equities and cryptocurrencies.

On Wednesday that fear tu","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Few things evoke fear in equity markets like a margin call. On Wednesday that fear turned into panic in Taiwan, offering another warning for the world on what can happen when leverage unwinds.</p><p>The trading day started out quiet in Taipei’s $2 trillion stock bourse. But before the morning was over, the local benchmark index had plummeted almost 9% in the worst one-day performance in its 54-year history.</p><p>There were reasons to sell. New data showed a worsening Covid-19 outbreak in an island where almost no one is vaccinated. A deepening slump in global tech shares also undermined the appeal of a market dominated by the industry. But the swiftness of the plunge that followed suggests bigger forces were at play.</p><p>For months, bull market skeptics around the world have warned that surging leverage is making equity markets riskier -- and the blowup of Archegos Capital Management in March served as a reminder of that. Yet stocks have continued to rise, with the MSCI All-Country World Index closing at a record as recently as Friday. In the U.S., margin debt topped $822 billion by the end of March -- the latest available data. That’s up 72% year on year.</p><p>On a smaller scale, the same happened in Taiwan. Armed with conviction, and with history on their side, investors took on increasing amounts of leverage. The result was a 46% expansion in margin debt this year to about NT$274 billion ($9.8 billion) two weeks ago, the highest since 2011. By comparison, the Taiwan benchmark was up just 19% in that period, an indication that people were taking out loans faster than stocks were appreciating.</p><p>Local investors had little reason to fear losses. Taiwan’s economy became one of the biggest winners from U.S.-China rivalry. Its chipmakers flourished as Washington sought to hobble Beijing’s efforts to build a domestic chip industry. During President Donald Trump’s four-year term, the Taiex benchmark became the world’s best performing stock gauge, gaining more than 90% in U.S. dollar terms.</p><p>Gains extended this year as the pandemic created a shortage of chips, with the index rising for seven straight months through April.</p><p>The euphoria began to unravel this week as the threat of inflation sank the Nasdaq, with tech stocks around the world following suit. As the Taiex slid 3.8% on Tuesday in Taiwan, the level of margin debt fell by NT$12.6 billion, the most since October 2018. That suggests traders faced margin calls by brokers to cover losses in their stock accounts.</p><p>Wednesday’s record rout is likely to have spurred a bigger unwinding of leverage. (Comparatives are skewed by the widening of daily price limits for individual stocks in 2015.)</p><p>“Margin trading boosted the Taiex over the past few months, which may add to declines if they face margin calls,” said MasterLink Securities Investment Advisory President Paul Cheng.</p><p>The fear of further losses was evident in a stock market where individual investors account for about 60% of transactions.

On Wednesday that fear turned into panic in Taiwan, offering another warning for the world on what can happen when leverage unwinds.The trading day started out quiet in Taipei’s $2 trillion stock bourse. But before the morning was over, the local benchmark index had plummeted almost 9% in the worst one-day performance in its 54-year history.There were reasons to sell. New data showed a worsening Covid-19 outbreak in an island where almost no one is vaccinated. A deepening slump in global tech shares also undermined the appeal of a market dominated by the industry. But the swiftness of the plunge that followed suggests bigger forces were at play.For months, bull market skeptics around the world have warned that surging leverage is making equity markets riskier -- and the blowup of Archegos Capital Management in March served as a reminder of that. Yet stocks have continued to rise, with the MSCI All-Country World Index closing at a record as recently as Friday. In the U.S., margin debt topped $822 billion by the end of March -- the latest available data. That’s up 72% year on year.On a smaller scale, the same happened in Taiwan. Armed with conviction, and with history on their side, investors took on increasing amounts of leverage. The result was a 46% expansion in margin debt this year to about NT$274 billion ($9.8 billion) two weeks ago, the highest since 2011. By comparison, the Taiwan benchmark was up just 19% in that period, an indication that people were taking out loans faster than stocks were appreciating.Local investors had little reason to fear losses. Taiwan’s economy became one of the biggest winners from U.S.-China rivalry. Its chipmakers flourished as Washington sought to hobble Beijing’s efforts to build a domestic chip industry. During President Donald Trump’s four-year term, the Taiex benchmark became the world’s best performing stock gauge, gaining more than 90% in U.S. dollar terms.Gains extended this year as the pandemic created a shortage of chips, with the index rising for seven straight months through April.The euphoria began to unravel this week as the threat of inflation sank the Nasdaq, with tech stocks around the world following suit. As the Taiex slid 3.8% on Tuesday in Taiwan, the level of margin debt fell by NT$12.6 billion, the most since October 2018. That suggests traders faced margin calls by brokers to cover losses in their stock accounts.Wednesday’s record rout is likely to have spurred a bigger unwinding of leverage. (Comparatives are skewed by the widening of daily price limits for individual stocks in 2015.)“Margin trading boosted the Taiex over the past few months, which may add to declines if they face margin calls,” said MasterLink Securities Investment Advisory President Paul Cheng.The fear of further losses was evident in a stock market where individual investors account for about 60% of transactions. The derivatives market burst with activity: more than 1.75 million options tracking the Taiex changed hands on Wednesday, the third-busiest day since 2016. Traders snapped up bearish contracts even as dozens of short-term options expired, with the price of one put surging as much as 7,757%.KGI Securities’ trader Kevin Lee, who has been a local stocks trader for a decade, said clients started to panic as the morning wore on.“There were non-stop orders coming in,” Lee said. “Investors were crazy as there were lots of news during trading hours and we didn’t know if they were true or not.”By the end of the day, the index had pared its losses to 4.1%.

The attackers stole a large amount of data from Colonial Pipeline before locking computers with ransomware and demanding payment,&nbsp;Bloomberg&nbsp;reports, citing people familiar with the matter.</p><p>Ransomware is a type of malware designed to lock down systems by encrypting data, with the attackers then demanding payment to regain access.</p><p>According to the investigators, the hackers took nearly 100 gigabytes of data from the Alpharetta, a Georgia-based company's network&nbsp;in two hours on Thursday.</p><p>Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the investigation saying that the move was part of a double-extortion scheme.

The attackers stole a large amount of data from Colonial Pipeline before locking computers with ransomware and demanding payment, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the matter.Ransomware is a type of malware designed to lock down systems by encrypting data, with the attackers then demanding payment to regain access.According to the investigators, the hackers took nearly 100 gigabytes of data from the Alpharetta, a Georgia-based company's network in two hours on Thursday.Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the investigation saying that the move was part of a double-extortion scheme. Besides threatening to keep the company’s information locked, hackers also threatened to leak the data to the internet unless they are paid a ransom.Colonial Pipeline took specific systems offline on Friday and temporarily halted all pipeline operations after learning about the cyberattack.Colonial would not say when it plans to reopen the pipeline,Reutersreported today.On Saturday, U.S. President Joe Biden was briefed on the incident, a White House spokesperson said, adding that the government is helping the company restore operations and prevent supply disruptions.The Department of Energy said it is monitoring potential impacts to the nation's energy supply.\"A shutdown lasting four or five days, for example, could lead to sporadic outages at fuel terminals along the U.S. East Coast that depend on the pipeline for deliveries,\" Reuters quoted Andrew Lipow, president of consultancy Lipow Oil Associates, as saying.Why It Matters:Colonial Pipeline is the biggest gasoline pipeline in the U.S., and the disruption could affect gasoline and diesel fuel supplies.The company's pipeline transports 2.5 million barrels each day, taking refined gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel from the Gulf Coast up to New York Harbor through 5,500 miles of pipelines.The shutdown is already hinting towards a spike in gasoline and diesel prices ahead of Memorial Day and the summer driving season.Bloombergreports that U.S. gasoline prices may surge to their highest since 2014.

The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze.

It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.</p><p>When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.</p><p>That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.</p><p>\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever</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\">\nThe Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-28 23:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly.

(AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) rank among the top five companies in the world by market cap. While the two stocks beat the market over the last five and ten years, each lags the S&amp;P 500 in 2021. Is this an indication the stocks lost their mojo? After all, larger companies tend to grow at a slower pace, thereby weighing on the share price.</p>\n<p>Actually, there are a number of reasons to believe both businesses will flourish. In the case of Amazon, the COVID crisis spurred a membership increase in Prime, while the cloud continues to grow at a rapid pace, and the company’s digital ad revenues are experiencing marked growth.</p>\n<p>As for Apple, a new iPhone cycle is breaking records, the move to 5G appears to serve as a growth catalyst, and the firm’s subscriber services are also a source of continued growth.</p>\n<p><b>Apple’s Growth Catalysts</b></p>\n<p>Apple recorded a 54% increase in revenue for the latest quarter and a 110% surge in net income. Every single product line recorded double-digit growth, with iPhone sales increasing 65% year over year, Mac sales surging 70%, and iPad sales jumping nearly 79%.</p>\n<p>The question is, can growth continue?</p>\n<p>The answer is an indubitable yes, and the services category is one means by which the company can move forward. In 2017, Cook set a goal of doubling services revenue by the end of 2020. Last July, it was announced the company hit that target six months ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p>The latest quarterly report had services generating $16.9 billion. That marked the highest services revenue in Apple’s history, and also the fastest growth rate for services, at just under 27%, in over two years.</p>\n<p>Although products’ revenues were more than four times that of theservices, the latter category posted a gross margin of over 70%. In comparison, gross margin for products was 36.1%. Additionally, the revenue from services is less cyclical than that from products. Consequently, the services category can be expected to drive significant growth for the company.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Apple now counts 660 million service subscribers, twice the number of subs recorded two and half years ago. The company is driving that growth through new offerings; for example, Apple Arcade added 30 new games, increasing the total to 180, and updated Apple Fitness+.</p>\n<p>In addition to the services setting new revenue and growth rates, Mac computers also set a new revenue record.</p>\n<blockquote>\n The last three quarters for Mac have been its best three quarters ever.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Tim Cook,CEO\n</blockquote>\n<p>Investors can expect continued growth in Mac revenues in 2021. IDCforecaststhe PC market will grow 18.2% this year. That marks a 40% increase from the robust growth in personal computer sales witnessed in 2020.</p>\n<p>However, perhaps the greatest immediate growth driver lies in Apple's share of the 5G smartphone market. Research from Strategic AnalyticsestimatesApple captured over 30% of the 5G smartphone market in the first three months of 2020. IDC alsoprojectsa 35.6% CAGR for 5G smartphones through 2025.</p>\n<p>Now consider that since 2016, with the exception of 4Q 2020, Apple has held no more than 17.9% of the smartphone&nbsp;market&nbsp;during the beginning of a new cycle, and that its market share drops to less than 12% as each cycle slows.</p>\n<p>By perusing the following chart, you can see that should Apple’s dominance in 5G continue, it will lead to the company capturing a much larger share of the overall smartphone market, a very favorable outcome for investors.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e72212554512203a49b9cbb213dfcf8\" tg-width=\"1216\" tg-height=\"744\"></p>\n<p><b>Amazon’s Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p>The following chart provides a clear picture of Amazon’s growth over the trailing twelve months.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91210115ceb226aae26de479cd1d767f\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"978\"><span>Source:Q1 21 Earnings Presentation</span></p>\n<p>Obviously, ecommerce is the foundation of Amazon’s business, and a sound argument can be made that Prime is now the cornerstone of that foundation. Since January of 2020, Prime added about 50 million new members globally and totals more than 200 million subscribers today.</p>\n<p>Prime drives ecommerce customer engagement and increases sales by a wide margin. For example, 74% of Prime&nbsp;subscribers&nbsp;buy a product online every few weeks, whereas those without a Prime membership only make an online purchase a few times a year.</p>\n<p>The average Prime&nbsp;member&nbsp;also spends $1400 per year versus $600 spent on ecommerce by non members. Therefore, it follows that the increased number of subscribers will drive greater ecommerce revenues.</p>\n<p>The company is also reinforcing its advantage in ecommerce through investments in its logistics network. Over the last four quarters, Amazon devoted $45.4 billion in&nbsp;capex, twice the sum spent in the previous twelve months. To place this in context, Walmart budgeted $14 billion for capex this year, and the $45 billion-plus capex budget exceeds the total annual&nbsp;revenues&nbsp;of all but the 72 largest US companies.</p>\n<p>It is important to note that although the firm is investing in a wide array of initiatives, the largest expenditures are devoted to increasing fulfillment capacity. During the Q4 earnings call, management noted the company’s logistics network&nbsp;increased&nbsp;by fifty percent in 2020.</p>\n<p>An example of the explosive growth of these assets can be found in the firm's investment in&nbsp;delivery&nbsp;stations. In 2019, Amazon had 159 delivery stations. That number ballooned to 337 at the end of 2020 and is expected to grow to 506 locations by year’s end.</p>\n<p>These metrics provide insights into the degree of vertical integration Amazon will soon achieve, and the advantages that will provide for the firm’s ecommerce segment.</p>\n<p>A second growth driver is Amazon’s advertising business. Although revenues from advertising are not divulged, management states that the Other category consists primarily of advertising revenues.</p>\n<p>Net sales from Other has more than doubled, from $10.1 billion in 2018, to nearly $21.5 billion in 2020. In the last earnings call of 2020, CFO Brain Olsavsky noted growth in Other revenue of 41% in Q2, 49% in Q3, and 64% in Q4 “that is primarily advertising.”</p>\n<p>Ecommerce channel advertising revenue will exceed $18 billion in 2021, and will equal around 80% of all spend on US ecommerce sites.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76abb398645e756728ceabc48ec4a0ae\" tg-width=\"470\" tg-height=\"290\"><span>Source:Insider Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Although advertising and subscription services are arguably underappreciated sources of Amazon’s potential, I believe the greatest source of growth will stem from AWS.</p>\n<p>The chart below provides data regarding growth prospects in the cloud market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cef232b99c6574bbdcded96ea37d17c4\" tg-width=\"650\" tg-height=\"405\"><span>Source:MarketsAndMarkets</span></p>\n<p>MarketsAndMarkets forecasts a CAGR of 14.2% for the cloud market from 2020 through 2025.</p>\n<p>The growth for cloud is not only assured, it is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

(AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) rank among the top five companies in the world by market cap. While the two stocks beat the market over the last five and ten years, each lags the S&P 500 in 2021. Is this an indication the stocks lost their mojo? After all, larger companies tend to grow at a slower pace, thereby weighing on the share price.\nActually, there are a number of reasons to believe both businesses will flourish. In the case of Amazon, the COVID crisis spurred a membership increase in Prime, while the cloud continues to grow at a rapid pace, and the company’s digital ad revenues are experiencing marked growth.\nAs for Apple, a new iPhone cycle is breaking records, the move to 5G appears to serve as a growth catalyst, and the firm’s subscriber services are also a source of continued growth.\nApple’s Growth Catalysts\nApple recorded a 54% increase in revenue for the latest quarter and a 110% surge in net income. Every single product line recorded double-digit growth, with iPhone sales increasing 65% year over year, Mac sales surging 70%, and iPad sales jumping nearly 79%.\nThe question is, can growth continue?\nThe answer is an indubitable yes, and the services category is one means by which the company can move forward. In 2017, Cook set a goal of doubling services revenue by the end of 2020. Last July, it was announced the company hit that target six months ahead of schedule.\nThe latest quarterly report had services generating $16.9 billion. That marked the highest services revenue in Apple’s history, and also the fastest growth rate for services, at just under 27%, in over two years.\nAlthough products’ revenues were more than four times that of theservices, the latter category posted a gross margin of over 70%. In comparison, gross margin for products was 36.1%. Additionally, the revenue from services is less cyclical than that from products. Consequently, the services category can be expected to drive significant growth for the company.\nFurthermore, Apple now counts 660 million service subscribers, twice the number of subs recorded two and half years ago. The company is driving that growth through new offerings; for example, Apple Arcade added 30 new games, increasing the total to 180, and updated Apple Fitness+.\nIn addition to the services setting new revenue and growth rates, Mac computers also set a new revenue record.\n\n The last three quarters for Mac have been its best three quarters ever.\n\n\n Tim Cook,CEO\n\nInvestors can expect continued growth in Mac revenues in 2021. IDCforecaststhe PC market will grow 18.2% this year. That marks a 40% increase from the robust growth in personal computer sales witnessed in 2020.\nHowever, perhaps the greatest immediate growth driver lies in Apple's share of the 5G smartphone market. Research from Strategic AnalyticsestimatesApple captured over 30% of the 5G smartphone market in the first three months of 2020. IDC alsoprojectsa 35.6% CAGR for 5G smartphones through 2025.\nNow consider that since 2016, with the exception of 4Q 2020, Apple has held no more than 17.9% of the smartphone market during the beginning of a new cycle, and that its market share drops to less than 12% as each cycle slows.\nBy perusing the following chart, you can see that should Apple’s dominance in 5G continue, it will lead to the company capturing a much larger share of the overall smartphone market, a very favorable outcome for investors.\n\nAmazon’s Growth Drivers\nThe following chart provides a clear picture of Amazon’s growth over the trailing twelve months.\nSource:Q1 21 Earnings Presentation\nObviously, ecommerce is the foundation of Amazon’s business, and a sound argument can be made that Prime is now the cornerstone of that foundation. Since January of 2020, Prime added about 50 million new members globally and totals more than 200 million subscribers today.\nPrime drives ecommerce customer engagement and increases sales by a wide margin. For example, 74% of Prime subscribers buy a product online every few weeks, whereas those without a Prime membership only make an online purchase a few times a year.\nThe average Prime member also spends $1400 per year versus $600 spent on ecommerce by non members. Therefore, it follows that the increased number of subscribers will drive greater ecommerce revenues.\nThe company is also reinforcing its advantage in ecommerce through investments in its logistics network. Over the last four quarters, Amazon devoted $45.4 billion in capex, twice the sum spent in the previous twelve months. To place this in context, Walmart budgeted $14 billion for capex this year, and the $45 billion-plus capex budget exceeds the total annual revenues of all but the 72 largest US companies.\nIt is important to note that although the firm is investing in a wide array of initiatives, the largest expenditures are devoted to increasing fulfillment capacity. During the Q4 earnings call, management noted the company’s logistics network increased by fifty percent in 2020.\nAn example of the explosive growth of these assets can be found in the firm's investment in delivery stations. In 2019, Amazon had 159 delivery stations. That number ballooned to 337 at the end of 2020 and is expected to grow to 506 locations by year’s end.\nThese metrics provide insights into the degree of vertical integration Amazon will soon achieve, and the advantages that will provide for the firm’s ecommerce segment.\nA second growth driver is Amazon’s advertising business. Although revenues from advertising are not divulged, management states that the Other category consists primarily of advertising revenues.\nNet sales from Other has more than doubled, from $10.1 billion in 2018, to nearly $21.5 billion in 2020. In the last earnings call of 2020, CFO Brain Olsavsky noted growth in Other revenue of 41% in Q2, 49% in Q3, and 64% in Q4 “that is primarily advertising.”\nEcommerce channel advertising revenue will exceed $18 billion in 2021, and will equal around 80% of all spend on US ecommerce sites.\nSource:Insider Intelligence\nAlthough advertising and subscription services are arguably underappreciated sources of Amazon’s potential, I believe the greatest source of growth will stem from AWS.\nThe chart below provides data regarding growth prospects in the cloud market.\nSource:MarketsAndMarkets\nMarketsAndMarkets forecasts a CAGR of 14.2% for the cloud market from 2020 through 2025.\nThe growth for cloud is not only assured, it is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, investors should understand the margin provided by cloud is much greater than that of most of the company’s businesses.\nThat’s reflected in the fact that in FY 2020, AWS contributed approximately $13.5 billion in sales, or just 12.4% of total revenues; but the cloud segment provided 47% of Amazon’s operating income.\nHead-To-Head Comparisons\nThe following chart provides a variety of valuation metrics. The PEG calculated at the 5 year expected rate.\nSource:Yahoo! Finance/ Chart by Author\nAside from the forward P/E, Amazon’s valuation metrics are better those of Apple.\nAdvantage: AMZN\nAAPL And AMZN Stock Price\nShares of Apple trade for $127.45. The average 12 month price target of 34 analysts is $149.15. The price target of 15 analysts that rated the stock since the last earnings report is $159.35, approximately 25% above today’s valuation.\nAmazon stock trades for $3222.90. The average 12 month price target of 47 analysts is $4,180.54. The price target of the 22 analysts that rated the stock since the last earnings report is $4,379.54, nearly 36% above the current share price.\nAdvantage: AMZN\nThe following chart provides analysts' consensus growth rates over the next two years.\nSource:Seeking Alpha Premium/ Chart by Author\nAmazon’s growth metrics outstrip Apple’s by wide margins.\nAdvantage; AMZN\nAmazon or Apple: Which Stock is the Better Investment?\nBoth companies have avenues for growth. Furthermore, each company is venturing into, or reinforcing, growth initiatives in arenas that provide robust profit margins.\nApple’s expanded services offerings and the developments in 5G bode well for the company.\nAmazon’s growth in advertising, coupled with its cloud business, provides ample opportunities for increased sales in high margin businesses.\nHowever, I view the following chart as a telling testimony of the difference in the two companies' prospects.\nSource:CNBC\nApple’s growth is more cyclical in nature than that of AMZN.

Although Buffett came late to the game, Apple is now his largest holding by a wide margin.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102756127,"gmtCreate":1620256267269,"gmtModify":1704340752030,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello","listText":"Hello","text":"Hello","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102756127","repostId":"2133584525","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2133584525","pubTimestamp":1620227100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2133584525?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-05 23:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Must-See Quotes From Amazon's Earnings Call","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2133584525","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There's a lot more to Amazon than its e-commerce and cloud computing businesses.","content":"<p>Despite posting impressive first-quarter results late last week, shares of e-commerce and cloud-computing giant <b>Amazon.com</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) have declined about 5% since the report.

On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.</p>\n<p>And the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now,&nbsp;and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show <i>Bosch</i> and the Academy Award-winning movie <i>Sound of Metal. </i>Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.</p>\n<p>Such a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54605113ad52cfe9e42ad5106f04a176\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity</h2>\n<p>Although there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the <i>Rocky</i> series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>Fargo</i> series are part of the MGM family.</p>\n<p>The company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.</p>\n<h2>2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime</h2>\n<p>While most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated <i>Manchester by the Sea</i>, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick <i>Late Night</i> is in movie theaters now.</p>\n<p>By and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.</p>\n<p>MGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.</p>\n<h2>3. Amazon offers more focused leadership</h2>\n<p>Unlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.</p>\n<p>To date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems. But, clearly, the studios' owners have other business interests. They also have little individual incentive to develop the film-making outfit into a more fruitful company.</p>\n<p>Simply put, the studio may not be all it could be.</p>\n<p>Amazon's ownership wouldn't pose this potential risk of disinterest. Indeed, a wholly owned MGM would operate under more focused leadership, and Amazon would have every incentive to maximize the studio's potential that it isn't doing right now.</p>\n<h2>4. An acquisition prevents anyone else from owning MGM</h2>\n<p>Finally, if nothing else, acquiring MGM now prevents any other potential suitor from scooping it up and taking control of its brand name, distribution channels, and intellectual property. This may be the most important reason of all for Amazon to make such a move, even if it's also the least evident <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>.</p>\n<p>There's a land grab underway within the media and entertainment business. Just a few months before Viacom and CBS merged to form <b>ViacomCBS</b> (NASDAQ:VIAC) (NASDAQ:VIAC.A) in late 2019, Viacom itself acquired free streaming platform Pluto TV. <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) went shopping in 2019 as well, picking up a slew of 21st Century Fox-branded assets. Separately, back in early 2020 <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FOXBV\">Fox Corp</a>.</b> (NASDAQ:FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) bought independently owned ad-supported streaming outfit <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/2BE.AU\">Tubi</a>. And just a few days ago <b>AT&amp;T</b> (NYSE:T) announced it would be selling its WarnerMedia arm to television content company <b>Discovery</b> (NASDAQ:DISCA) (NASDAQ:DISCK).</p>\n<p>Read between the lines.

On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.\nAnd the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now, and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show Bosch and the Academy Award-winning movie Sound of Metal. Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.\nSuch a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity\nAlthough there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the Rocky series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, The Handmaid's Tale and Fargo series are part of the MGM family.\nThe company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.\n2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime\nWhile most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated Manchester by the Sea, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick Late Night is in movie theaters now.\nBy and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.\nMGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.\n3. Amazon offers more focused leadership\nUnlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.\nTo date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems. But, clearly, the studios' owners have other business interests. They also have little individual incentive to develop the film-making outfit into a more fruitful company.\nSimply put, the studio may not be all it could be.\nAmazon's ownership wouldn't pose this potential risk of disinterest. Indeed, a wholly owned MGM would operate under more focused leadership, and Amazon would have every incentive to maximize the studio's potential that it isn't doing right now.\n4. An acquisition prevents anyone else from owning MGM\nFinally, if nothing else, acquiring MGM now prevents any other potential suitor from scooping it up and taking control of its brand name, distribution channels, and intellectual property. This may be the most important reason of all for Amazon to make such a move, even if it's also the least evident one.\nThere's a land grab underway within the media and entertainment business. Just a few months before Viacom and CBS merged to form ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) (NASDAQ:VIAC.A) in late 2019, Viacom itself acquired free streaming platform Pluto TV. Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) went shopping in 2019 as well, picking up a slew of 21st Century Fox-branded assets. Separately, back in early 2020 Fox Corp. (NASDAQ:FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) bought independently owned ad-supported streaming outfit Tubi. And just a few days ago AT&T (NYSE:T) announced it would be selling its WarnerMedia arm to television content company Discovery (NASDAQ:DISCA) (NASDAQ:DISCK).\nRead between the lines. If Amazon doesn't step into MGM Studios here,  it's likely a competitor will, and then use the brand to compete head-to-head with Amazon's video entertainment interests.\nThe last word\nJust because Amazon arguably should acquire MGM for the intimated price of $9 billion, of course, doesn't mean that it will. And, buying it doesn't simply mean the prospective suitor will automatically or immediately realize the aforementioned upsides. Integration takes time, and work. It could take years to cultivate a synergy between the two outfits that results in more growth than either could achieve on their own.\nStill, as long as Amazon is going to remain in the video entertainment business, it's a prospect with a longer-term payoff that easily justifies the short-term cost.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":422,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196005148,"gmtCreate":1620997126884,"gmtModify":1704351708021,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ai","listText":"Ai","text":"Ai","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/196005148","repostId":"1144069653","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":46,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101291895,"gmtCreate":1619914694117,"gmtModify":1704336216341,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tech in trouble&nbsp;","listText":"Tech in trouble&nbsp;","text":"Tech in trouble","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/101291895","repostId":"1142063705","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142063705","pubTimestamp":1619796118,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142063705?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-30 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Europe's antitrust crackdown on Apple hints at what's coming for the company in the U.S.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142063705","media":"CNBC","summary":"For a long time, the European Commission seemed to stand apart from the U.S. in cracking down on tech giants with antitrust fines againstGoogleand privacy rules like the General Data Protection Regulation.“The Commission’s argument onSpotify’sbehalf is the opposite of fair competition,” Apple said in a statement following Vestager’s announcement, referring to the music streaming company that raised the competition complaint.

Apple said Spotify wants “all the benefits of the App Store but don’t think they should have to pay anything for that,” by choosing to object to its 15-30% commission on in-app payments for streaming apps.\nApple isn’t currently facing any antitrust charges from government officials in the U.S. and such a lawsuit may never materialize, though the Department of Justice wasreportedly granted oversight of the company’s competitive practices in 2019. But even if the government declines to press charges, recent actions in Congress, state legislatures and in private lawsuits demonstrate a significant shift in the American public’s sentiment toward Apple and the tech industry at large.\nWhen the commissionslapped its first record competition fineagainstGooglein 2017, it wasn’t yet clear that the U.S. might be ready to move on from its once-cozy relationship with its booming tech industry. But in 2018, on the heels of the revelations of howFacebookuser data was used by analytics company Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 election, and increasing questions about how tech platforms can impact American democracy, that seemed to change.\nNow, as Europe continues to move forward with its probe into Apple, the U.S. no longer seems to be so far behind.\nHere’s where Apple stands to face risk of antitrust action or regulation in the U.S.:\nDOJ\nThe DOJ has already moved forward with a massive lawsuit against Google, so it could take some time if it decides to ramp up a probe into Apple. Though the DOJ’s Antitrust Division took on oversight authority of Apple in a 2019 agreement with the FTC, according to aWall Street Journal report, the Google investigation has seemed to take priority.\nStill, then-Attorney General Bill Barr announced later that year that the DOJ wouldconduct a broad antitrust review of Big Tech companies.\nAny action from the DOJ or state enforcers would take the form of a settlement or lawsuit, which would put Apple’s fate in the hands of the courts.\nPrivate lawsuits\nApple’s most immediate challenge in the U.S. has come from private companies bringing antitrust charges against its business in court.\nThe most notable of these lawsuits isfrom Fortnite-maker Epic Games, which is set to begin its trial on Monday. Epic filed its lawsuit with a PR blitz afterchallenging Apple’s in-app payment feeby advertising in its app an alternative, cheaper way to buy character outfits from Epic directly, violating Apple’s rules. That prompted Apple to remove Fortnite from its App Store. Epic filed the suit shortly after and Applefiled counterclaimsagainst Epic for allegedly breaching its contract.\n“Although Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App Store,” Apple said in a filing with the District Court for the Northern District of California in September.\nCongress\nJust last week,several app-makers testified before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust about the alleged anti-competitive harms they’ve facedfrom restrictions on both Apple and Google’s app stores.\nRepresentatives from Apple and Google told lawmakers they simply charge for the technology and the work they put into running the app stores, which have significantly lowered distribution costs for app developers over the years.\nBut witnesses from Tinder-ownerMatch Group, item-tracking device-maker Tile and Spotify painted a different picture.\n“We’re all afraid,” Match Group chief legal officer Jared Sine testified of the platforms’ broad power over their businesses.\nThe witnesses discussed the seemingly arbitrary nature by which Apple allegedly enforces its App Store rules. Spotify’s legal chief claimed Apple has threatened retaliation on numerous occasions and Tile’s top lawyer said Apple denied access to a key feature that wouldimprove their object-tracking product, before utilizing it for Apple’s own rival gadget,called AirTag.\nTile said that while Apple now makes the feature available for third-party developers to incorporate, accessing it would mean handing over a significant amount of data and control to Apple. Apple’s representative said its product is different from Tile’s and opening the feature in question will encourage further competition in the space.\nSenators at the hearing seemed receptive to the app developers’ complaints, which build on earlier claims made before House lawmakers. The House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust found in a more than year-long probe thatAmazon, Apple, Facebook and Googleall hold monopoly power, and lawmakers are currently crafting bills to enable stronger antitrust enforcement of digital markets.\nState Legislatures\nSeveral state legislatures have beenconsidering bills that would require platforms like Apple and Google to allow app-makers to use their own payment processing systems. While the bills have so far hadvarying degrees of successin the early stages of lawmaking, passage in one state could raise a host of questions about how it should be enforced given the ambiguous nature of digital borders.\nThe bills have been supported by the Coalition for App Fairness, a group of companies that have complained about app store fees, including Epic Games, Match Group and Spotify.\nApple has often argued that it maintains features like payments within its own ecosystem in order to protect consumers and secure their data, though app developers and lawmakers have expressed skepticism about that reasoning.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119357325,"gmtCreate":1622522746067,"gmtModify":1704185579366,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","authorIdStr":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575848243295753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119357325","repostId":"2140457902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140457902","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":1622516312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140457902?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 10:58","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"JD Logistics rises on inclusion in Hang Seng Composite Index","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140457902","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Shares of JD Logistics Inc rise as much as 5.7% to HK$43.9, the ninth most actively traded by turnover.Hang Seng Indexes Company says JD Logistics meets the Fast Entry Rule of various indexes and will be added to Hang Seng Composite Index and sub-indexes effective June 11 JD Logistics, spun off from e-commerce major JD.Com Inc began trading on May 28.
