reputation as ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>For years, he rode the likes of Amazon.com Inc. and Tesla Inc. to the moon, earning a reputation as the techno-visionary oracle of Edinburgh. Now, James Anderson, bull-market hero, has left behind a precarious legacy.</p><p>It’s been three months since Anderson, 63, retired from Baillie Gifford, the century-old Scottish money manager he transformed into anunlikely power-investorin global technology.Awkward timing, to say the least.</p><p>Before Cathie Wood and Ark Invest, before crypto and “stonks,” Anderson began transforming Baillie Gifford’s prosaically namedScottish Mortgage Investment Trust— founded in 1909 to finance rubber plantationsand later Baillie Gifford’s flagship product — into one of the world’s top performing funds of its kind for a decade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de33a4ac0cb06d99485b7ab765a660eb\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Baillie Gifford offices in EdinburghPhotographer: Robert Ormerod/Bloomberg</span></p><p>But the tech stock meltdown has left the firm bleeding assets this year, losing a staggering 100 billion pounds ($122 billion) by the end of June. What was already a tall task for the next generation of the firm’s stock-pickers — convincing investors they can follow in Anderson&#39;s footsteps — has added a new hurdle: making the case that they should.</p><p>Therecent market rallywill have helped, but changing course doesn’t appear to be an option. More than a dozen former and current employees and clients, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in recent weeks, depict a firm that fell under the spell of Anderson’s success. A company partner who held no formal management position for years ended up driving Baillie Gifford’s entire approach to markets.</p><p>What Anderson has left behind appears emblematic not only of this year’s market downturnbut also of the excesses that inflated a pandemic bubble in just about everything. Portfolio managers have been deployed to try to calm angsty clients.</p><p>The uneasy mood was evident in mid-June as Scottish Mortgage investors gathered in London to hear what Baillie Gifford had to say about the drastic reversal of fortune.</p><p>The crowd sat solemnly beneath dim chandeliers in a rented ballroom as Anderson’s successors, Tom Slater andLaurence Burns, called for patience, confident picks would pay off in the long run — that is, in 10 or even 20 years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e6c4ef2ec5ef9d84e364028616b8d6b\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market.Photographer: Rachel Jessen/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Some attendees wondered out loud if Slater and Burns could deliver by following their old boss’s playbook. One asked if it would take 20 more years to figure out if Anderson really was a genius stock-picker or merely someone who lucked out in a bull market.</p><p>“We are not sitting, looking into a crystal ball trying to predict what’s going to happen,” Slater said. “Wealth doesn’t come from predicting stuff but from a small number of exceptional companies.”</p><p>It’s been quite a comedown. From its Edinburgh headquarters 3,200 miles from Wall Street, Baillie Gifford emerged in the 2000s and 2010s as one of theworld’s top stock-pickers,marketing the Anderson mystique and attracting ordinary investors and major pension funds across the US and Britain.</p><p>Anderson set aside conventional investment metrics and staked his clients’ money on a relatively small number of risky, high-growth stocks. With a go-big-or-go-home ethos, he pressed portfolio managers to focus on sweeping, global themes, rather than investing geographically.</p><p>And so, Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market. For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk. (Douglas Brodie,a partner and portfolio manager for another Baillie Gifford team, initially drove the Tesla investment in the early 2010s, but Anderson got most of the credit — and themedia attention).</p><p>The results were extraordinary. From 2005 to its peak last year, Scottish Mortgage returned 2,240%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aed3cc980a5921dbc234e3de5954ce0c\" tg-width=\"647\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>But what goes up usually comes down — in this case, down hard. With high-orbit tech stocks hurtling back to earth, Scottish Mortgage has plummeted 32% this year as of Aug. 16, its assets dropping to 14 billion pounds. All Baillie Gifford funds tracked by Bloomberg have fallen from 1% to 40% this year. Overall assets under management stood at 231 billion poundsat the end of June, versus 336 billion pounds at the start of the year.</p><p>From Menlo Park to Shenzhen, Big Tech to startups, a pullback has followed a decade of giddy exuberance. SoftBank Group Corp.reporteda record 3.16 trillion yen ($23.4 billion) net loss on Aug. 8 after its Vision Fund, the world’s largest technology fund, got hammered.</p><p>Given the shifting landscape, the question is when, or maybe whether, Baillie Gifford can regain its footing and help reinforce the business of stock picking that’s been undermined in recent years by the popularity of cheaper, index-tracking funds.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51408b71487dde86a80f9fe0bb6e26b2\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"533\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>James Anderson at the Allen &amp; Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho in 2019.Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Indeed, other big name investors came unstuck after stellar returns. Bill Miller, the manager whose unprecedented record of beating the Standards &amp; Poor’s 500 Index made him aninvesting legend, couldn’t relive his past glories after a sharp turn in his fortunes.</p><p>More dramatic was Neil Woodford’sfall from grace in the UK. The star money manager mesmerized investors for years with his performance. But following a poor run, clients startedpulling their cash, leading to the suspension of his flagship fund in 2019.</p><p>Baillie Gifford is far more than one fund and has other strategies that don’t pursue the kind of returns that made Anderson a magnet for retail clients, who would flock to hear him speak at investor forums. But, over the time, the firm tilted toward his investing philosophy.</p><p>Anderson, now chairman of Swedish investment companyKinnevik AB, waves off his influence. In an email, he dismissed the idea that his bull-market success and celebrity status came to define Baillie Gifford.</p><p>“The influence was mostly because the high growth worked so well for a prolonged period and therefore — as is the way in finance — it attracted more attention and even imitation,” Anderson said of his sway over Baillie Gifford. “Maybe this always bothered me more than people realized.”</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba1d786496f986024d6afd7682880d8c\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.Photographer: Guillaume Souvant/AFP/Getty Images</span></p><p>But during a tenure spanning four decades, he shook off the firm’s staid reputation and fundamentally changed its DNA. At a time when low-cost index funds were upending the investment business, he pushed the partnership in the opposite direction: He challenged portfolio managers to set aside indexes and instead find companies that would solve big problems. In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.</p><p>When markets were going their way, Anderson and his acolytes could steamroll most doubters. Unabashedly contrarian and sometimes quick-tempered, he sniffed at what he viewed as groupthink by bean-counting CFAs. Let others worry about quarterly results and P/E ratios. Anderson wanted to spot the super trends that would shape the future.</p><p>People who questioned him or issued a negative report on one of his stock picks often found themselves on the losing side a heated argument, current and former employees say. Others learned to keep their mouths shut. To avoid office distractions, Anderson eventually stopped sharing his own research in Baillie Gifford’s library.</p><p>Before long, Anderson and his crew stopped attending weekly investment meetings, dismissing the gatherings as a venue of low-brow short-termism. Baillie Gifford later made the confabs optional before binning them altogether.</p><p>A scruffy, sometimes rumpled character with a professorial air — one former colleague recalls Anderson wearing an ink-stained shirt one day, another remembers his poorly knotted ties — Anderson came to be seen as the mad genius of Baillie Gifford. (In a telephone interview, Anderson conceded that he could be hot-tempered due to the stresses of the job.) His star rising, heenthralled everyday investors, scouted Silicon Valley and hung out with Jeff Bezos in Sun Valley.</p><p>Insiders say that with Anderson gone there’s more room for flexibility, but Baillie Gifford is in so deep it might be hard to go back. Wholly owned by its roughly 50 partners, the firm has staked its future on the belief that it can spot the next big thing. Then, the thinking goes, it can do what Anderson did: Get in early — and hold on for the ride.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/646aaeefad45f983569a04220448ece9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Before July’s bounce, the ride has mostly gone in one direction: down. Baillie Gifford is a top-three holder of Moderna (down 22% year to Aug. 16); Shopify Inc. (down 68%); and Spotify Technology SA (down 41%). It’s also a major holder of Illumia Inc. (down 33%) and Peloton Interactive Inc. (down 58%), among others.</p><p>Stock picks are only one problem. During the bull years, Anderson and his team also became go-to financiers for a range of tech startups. Flush with investor dollars, they seeded young businesses in hopes of reaping outsize returns once the companies went public.</p><p>Unlisted companies accounted forroughly a thirdof Scottish Mortgage’s holdings at the end of June, according to company documents. The fund got in on the bull-market rush over the fledgling air-taxi business, picking up stakes inLilium NVand Joby Aviation Inc. It also bought into crypto financial-services company Blockchain.com and Northvolt AB, a Swedish battery developer.</p><p>When or if many of those bets might pay off is anyone’s guess. One pick, biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks, went public last year, during the waning days of the craze over special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. Since then, the stock has fallen 53%.</p><p>And while Anderson was the first to invest in private companies at Baillie Gifford, even more conservative investment trusts run by the firm have exposure to the asset class, albeit at much lower levels.</p><p>Even Baillie Gifford insiders concede Anderson’s departure in April,telegraphedfor more than a year, came at a particularly fraught moment. The firm created a success story around Anderson and his investment philosophy and used that rosy narrative to market itself.</p><p>James Budden, global head of marketing, acknowledged — with some limits — Anderson’s long-standing role in shaping Baillie Gifford. “He was a strong influence, but this took 20 years to play out,” said Budden, the only person Baillie Gifford made available to speak on the record. “Scottish Mortgage didn’t immediately become what it is today. Yes, he did define a lot of the investment thinking.”</p><p>For better and worse, Anderson appears to have left a lasting mark. University graduates who join the firm’s training program no longer get schooled in financial statements as meticulously as they used to, people familiar with the matter said. People who’ve left recently say risk management could be improved.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2d6cd86d2fdae1087c8ed314fc12083\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk.Photographer: Toru Hanai/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Budden, the marketing chief, says trainees must still learn accounting but adds that success at Baillie Gifford takes vision, too. “We do have risk controls, though people think we don’t,” he said. “For us the biggest risk is finding the wrong companies and missing the big opportunities, but we also do proper risk analysis.”</p><p>For now, Baillie Gifford seems hostage to the markets. Aninvestment teamcalled Global Alpha, createdby former senior partner Charles Plowden in 2005 as a counterweight to Anderson’s go-big philosophy, has weathered the storm better than Scottish Mortgage by investing in more, less volatile stocks.</p><p>Global Alpha today manages 39 billion pounds, more than any other group in the firm. Yet, all the same, it still holds a crop of Anderson’s tech darlingslike Moderna and Tesla. The firm says any similarities between portfolios are unintentional and that each team does its own research.</p><p>All the same, the 170-person client services team has been reemphasizingthe investment philosophy Anderson helped to build. Their line: This, too, shall pass — and Baillie Gifford will go on to greater heights as its bets pay off over coming decades. In webinars, letters and phone calls, the team has urged investors not to panic.</p><p>The partnership keeps looking ahead.

Now, James Anderson, bull-market hero, has left behind a precarious legacy.It’s been three months since Anderson, 63, retired from Baillie Gifford, the century-old Scottish money manager he transformed into anunlikely power-investorin global technology.Awkward timing, to say the least.Before Cathie Wood and Ark Invest, before crypto and “stonks,” Anderson began transforming Baillie Gifford’s prosaically namedScottish Mortgage Investment Trust— founded in 1909 to finance rubber plantationsand later Baillie Gifford’s flagship product — into one of the world’s top performing funds of its kind for a decade.Baillie Gifford offices in EdinburghPhotographer: Robert Ormerod/BloombergBut the tech stock meltdown has left the firm bleeding assets this year, losing a staggering 100 billion pounds ($122 billion) by the end of June. What was already a tall task for the next generation of the firm’s stock-pickers — convincing investors they can follow in Anderson's footsteps — has added a new hurdle: making the case that they should.Therecent market rallywill have helped, but changing course doesn’t appear to be an option. More than a dozen former and current employees and clients, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in recent weeks, depict a firm that fell under the spell of Anderson’s success. A company partner who held no formal management position for years ended up driving Baillie Gifford’s entire approach to markets.What Anderson has left behind appears emblematic not only of this year’s market downturnbut also of the excesses that inflated a pandemic bubble in just about everything. Portfolio managers have been deployed to try to calm angsty clients.The uneasy mood was evident in mid-June as Scottish Mortgage investors gathered in London to hear what Baillie Gifford had to say about the drastic reversal of fortune.The crowd sat solemnly beneath dim chandeliers in a rented ballroom as Anderson’s successors, Tom Slater andLaurence Burns, called for patience, confident picks would pay off in the long run — that is, in 10 or even 20 years.Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market.Photographer: Rachel Jessen/BloombergSome attendees wondered out loud if Slater and Burns could deliver by following their old boss’s playbook. One asked if it would take 20 more years to figure out if Anderson really was a genius stock-picker or merely someone who lucked out in a bull market.“We are not sitting, looking into a crystal ball trying to predict what’s going to happen,” Slater said. “Wealth doesn’t come from predicting stuff but from a small number of exceptional companies.”It’s been quite a comedown. From its Edinburgh headquarters 3,200 miles from Wall Street, Baillie Gifford emerged in the 2000s and 2010s as one of theworld’s top stock-pickers,marketing the Anderson mystique and attracting ordinary investors and major pension funds across the US and Britain.Anderson set aside conventional investment metrics and staked his clients’ money on a relatively small number of risky, high-growth stocks. With a go-big-or-go-home ethos, he pressed portfolio managers to focus on sweeping, global themes, rather than investing geographically.And so, Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market. For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk. (Douglas Brodie,a partner and portfolio manager for another Baillie Gifford team, initially drove the Tesla investment in the early 2010s, but Anderson got most of the credit — and themedia attention).The results were extraordinary. From 2005 to its peak last year, Scottish Mortgage returned 2,240%.But what goes up usually comes down — in this case, down hard. With high-orbit tech stocks hurtling back to earth, Scottish Mortgage has plummeted 32% this year as of Aug. 16, its assets dropping to 14 billion pounds. All Baillie Gifford funds tracked by Bloomberg have fallen from 1% to 40% this year. Overall assets under management stood at 231 billion poundsat the end of June, versus 336 billion pounds at the start of the year.From Menlo Park to Shenzhen, Big Tech to startups, a pullback has followed a decade of giddy exuberance. SoftBank Group Corp.reporteda record 3.16 trillion yen ($23.4 billion) net loss on Aug. 8 after its Vision Fund, the world’s largest technology fund, got hammered.Given the shifting landscape, the question is when, or maybe whether, Baillie Gifford can regain its footing and help reinforce the business of stock picking that’s been undermined in recent years by the popularity of cheaper, index-tracking funds.James Anderson at the Allen & Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho in 2019.Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/BloombergIndeed, other big name investors came unstuck after stellar returns. Bill Miller, the manager whose unprecedented record of beating the Standards & Poor’s 500 Index made him aninvesting legend, couldn’t relive his past glories after a sharp turn in his fortunes.More dramatic was Neil Woodford’sfall from grace in the UK. The star money manager mesmerized investors for years with his performance. But following a poor run, clients startedpulling their cash, leading to the suspension of his flagship fund in 2019.Baillie Gifford is far more than one fund and has other strategies that don’t pursue the kind of returns that made Anderson a magnet for retail clients, who would flock to hear him speak at investor forums. But, over the time, the firm tilted toward his investing philosophy.Anderson, now chairman of Swedish investment companyKinnevik AB, waves off his influence. In an email, he dismissed the idea that his bull-market success and celebrity status came to define Baillie Gifford.“The influence was mostly because the high growth worked so well for a prolonged period and therefore — as is the way in finance — it attracted more attention and even imitation,” Anderson said of his sway over Baillie Gifford. “Maybe this always bothered me more than people realized.”In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.Photographer: Guillaume Souvant/AFP/Getty ImagesBut during a tenure spanning four decades, he shook off the firm’s staid reputation and fundamentally changed its DNA. At a time when low-cost index funds were upending the investment business, he pushed the partnership in the opposite direction: He challenged portfolio managers to set aside indexes and instead find companies that would solve big problems. In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.When markets were going their way, Anderson and his acolytes could steamroll most doubters. Unabashedly contrarian and sometimes quick-tempered, he sniffed at what he viewed as groupthink by bean-counting CFAs. Let others worry about quarterly results and P/E ratios. Anderson wanted to spot the super trends that would shape the future.People who questioned him or issued a negative report on one of his stock picks often found themselves on the losing side a heated argument, current and former employees say. Others learned to keep their mouths shut. To avoid office distractions, Anderson eventually stopped sharing his own research in Baillie Gifford’s library.Before long, Anderson and his crew stopped attending weekly investment meetings, dismissing the gatherings as a venue of low-brow short-termism. Baillie Gifford later made the confabs optional before binning them altogether.A scruffy, sometimes rumpled character with a professorial air — one former colleague recalls Anderson wearing an ink-stained shirt one day, another remembers his poorly knotted ties — Anderson came to be seen as the mad genius of Baillie Gifford. (In a telephone interview, Anderson conceded that he could be hot-tempered due to the stresses of the job.) His star rising, heenthralled everyday investors, scouted Silicon Valley and hung out with Jeff Bezos in Sun Valley.Insiders say that with Anderson gone there’s more room for flexibility, but Baillie Gifford is in so deep it might be hard to go back. Wholly owned by its roughly 50 partners, the firm has staked its future on the belief that it can spot the next big thing. Then, the thinking goes, it can do what Anderson did: Get in early — and hold on for the ride.Before July’s bounce, the ride has mostly gone in one direction: down. Baillie Gifford is a top-three holder of Moderna (down 22% year to Aug. 16); Shopify Inc. (down 68%); and Spotify Technology SA (down 41%). It’s also a major holder of Illumia Inc. (down 33%) and Peloton Interactive Inc. (down 58%), among others.Stock picks are only one problem. During the bull years, Anderson and his team also became go-to financiers for a range of tech startups. Flush with investor dollars, they seeded young businesses in hopes of reaping outsize returns once the companies went public.Unlisted companies accounted forroughly a thirdof Scottish Mortgage’s holdings at the end of June, according to company documents. The fund got in on the bull-market rush over the fledgling air-taxi business, picking up stakes inLilium NVand Joby Aviation Inc. It also bought into crypto financial-services company Blockchain.com and Northvolt AB, a Swedish battery developer.When or if many of those bets might pay off is anyone’s guess. One pick, biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks, went public last year, during the waning days of the craze over special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. Since then, the stock has fallen 53%.And while Anderson was the first to invest in private companies at Baillie Gifford, even more conservative investment trusts run by the firm have exposure to the asset class, albeit at much lower levels.Even Baillie Gifford insiders concede Anderson’s departure in April,telegraphedfor more than a year, came at a particularly fraught moment. The firm created a success story around Anderson and his investment philosophy and used that rosy narrative to market itself.James Budden, global head of marketing, acknowledged — with some limits — Anderson’s long-standing role in shaping Baillie Gifford. “He was a strong influence, but this took 20 years to play out,” said Budden, the only person Baillie Gifford made available to speak on the record. “Scottish Mortgage didn’t immediately become what it is today. Yes, he did define a lot of the investment thinking.”For better and worse, Anderson appears to have left a lasting mark. University graduates who join the firm’s training program no longer get schooled in financial statements as meticulously as they used to, people familiar with the matter said. People who’ve left recently say risk management could be improved.For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk.Photographer: Toru Hanai/BloombergBudden, the marketing chief, says trainees must still learn accounting but adds that success at Baillie Gifford takes vision, too. “We do have risk controls, though people think we don’t,” he said. “For us the biggest risk is finding the wrong companies and missing the big opportunities, but we also do proper risk analysis.”For now, Baillie Gifford seems hostage to the markets. Aninvestment teamcalled Global Alpha, createdby former senior partner Charles Plowden in 2005 as a counterweight to Anderson’s go-big philosophy, has weathered the storm better than Scottish Mortgage by investing in more, less volatile stocks.Global Alpha today manages 39 billion pounds, more than any other group in the firm. Yet, all the same, it still holds a crop of Anderson’s tech darlingslike Moderna and Tesla. The firm says any similarities between portfolios are unintentional and that each team does its own research.All the same, the 170-person client services team has been reemphasizingthe investment philosophy Anderson helped to build. Their line: This, too, shall pass — and Baillie Gifford will go on to greater heights as its bets pay off over coming decades. In webinars, letters and phone calls, the team has urged investors not to panic.The partnership keeps looking ahead. It plans to hire more people and move to a new glass-paneled, seven-story headquarters being built in a new development in Edinburgh’s West End. At a recent company-wide meeting, two senior partners said Baillie Gifford would stick to its guns. It was, they said, business as usual.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":191,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161918219,"gmtCreate":1623900211931,"gmtModify":1703823017194,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More stocks to add to watchlist","listText":"More stocks to add to watchlist","text":"More stocks to add to watchlist","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161918219","repostId":"1109684071","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109684071","pubTimestamp":1623899734,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109684071?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Cash-Rich Dividend Stocks With Rising Payouts","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109684071","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Income investors should add these great businesses to their watch lists -- or their portfolios.","content":"<p>The stock market's rally through the late stages of the pandemic has pushed dividend yields lower and made it harder for income investors to find bargains.

Sales in Q1 were up 10% on a two-year basis, management said in April.\nPepsi's relatively weak short-term earnings outlook has convinced Wall Street to leave the stock out of the latest market rally. The good news is that this means you can buy this blue chip at a relative bargain price, and get a dividend that still yields nearly 3% at current share prices.\n3. Procter & Gamble\nProcter & Gamble has raised its dividend every year since 1956, but the consumer staples powerhouse is still finding ways to impress income investors. In April, P&G announced a 10% hike to its annual payout following strong sales growth at the start of 2021.\nP&G is sure to see a growth slowdown over the next few quarters as consumer mobility rises and time spent in the home declines. But that's no reason to avoid this stellar stock. The company dominates in dozens of consumer product niches that sell well in any economic environment, from diapers to paper towels. Its finances are stellar -- for example, cash flow rose in each of the last three fiscal years. And P&G already leads its industry in metrics like profitability, but continues to find room to cut costs.\nThe sum of those trends should leave income investors happy to own this stock, which today yields over 2% -- beating the 1.4% yield you could get by owning a total market index fund. Purchasing stable dividend stocks like P&G, PepsiCo, and Target will amplify your returns without adding much extra risk to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181698829,"gmtCreate":1623388262561,"gmtModify":1704202305126,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Using the same rule, AMZN need to be $4500+ this year","listText":"Using the same rule, AMZN need to be $4500+ this year","text":"Using the same rule, AMZN need to be $4500+ this year","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181698829","repostId":"2142524078","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142524078","pubTimestamp":1623379800,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2142524078?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-11 10:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Prediction: Amazon Will Hit $10,000 by 2025","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142524078","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Amazon at $10,000 in four years might sound outrageous, but it's actually saner than you realize.","content":"<p>The stock market offers few guarantees.

And that's not all. Between now and 2025, I predict Amazon will hit $10,000 a share. This would give the company a $5 trillion market cap.</p>\n<p>Sound outrageous or too good to be true? I'm about to show you why $10,000 by 2025 is saner than you think.</p>\n<h2>Amazon's online market share is unrivaled</h2>\n<p>Let's start by examining Amazon's two (yes, <i>two</i>) dominant operating models.</p>\n<p>Most people are probably very familiar with Amazon's online marketplace. According to data found on statistics-aggregator Statista, nearly 215 million people visited Amazon's online sites in December 2019. We can probably safely assume this figure moved substantially higher throughout 2020, with consumers stuck in their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p>\n<p>Yet this isn't the jaw-dropping figure. What's even more impressive is that Amazon controls an estimated 40.4% of all online sales in the U.S., according to an April 2021 report from eMarketer. Think about this for a moment: $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the U.S. is being routed through Amazon, and the company's market share keeps inching higher.</p>\n<p>While it's great to be the go-to source for e-commerce, Amazon is also acutely aware of how razor thin retail margins can be. It's helped offset this by pushing its Prime membership.</p>\n<p>With Prime, members enjoy free two-day shipping, the unlimited streaming of movies and videos on Prime Video, and multiple deals and discounts when shopping. For Amazon, Prime helps the company generate tens of billions of dollars in additional revenue. With more than 200 million Prime members worldwide, Amazon is able to use the revenue from Prime to undercut brick-and-mortar retailers on price. It also doesn't hurt that Prime members have added incentive to spend more and to stay within Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.</p>\n<h2>AWS is becoming a more important puzzle piece</h2>\n<p>But Amazon is about far more than just its dominant online marketplace. The company's cloud infrastructure segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is also an absolute beast.</p>\n<p>According to global technology-analysis company Canalys, worldwide cloud revenue spending in the first quarter of 2021 totaled $41.8 billion. Of that nearly $42 billion, Google Cloud (a division of <b>Alphabet</b>) accounted for 7%, Microsoft Azure was responsible for 19%, and AWS stood tall with a 32% market share!</p>\n<p>With the pandemic wreaking havoc on traditional workplaces, businesses of all sizes have been pushing online and into the cloud to reach customers. That's meant sustainably high demand for AWS, which provides everything from database storage and content delivery to advanced analytics and management tools.</p>\n<p>How impressive has AWS been for Amazon? During the worst economic downturn in decades in 2020, AWS <i>still</i> grew sales by 30%. Revenue jumped another 32% in the first quarter of 2021, which pushed its annual sales run rate to about $54 billion.</p>\n<p>What's important to realize about AWS is that the margins associated with cloud infrastructure services are light years higher than Amazon's online marketplace. Even though AWS accounted for \"just\" $13.5 billion of the company's $108.5 billion in net sales in Q1 2021, it produced close to $4.2 billion in operating income. Amazon's other businesses, which yielded $95 billion in revenue, produced only $4.7 billion in operating income. In short, as AWS grows into a large percentage of total sales, operating income and cash flow will grow at a much faster rate than the company's total sales.</p>\n<h2>Amazon at $10,000 by 2025 is a very real possibility</h2>\n<p>Here's where things get interesting. It's no secret that Amazon's valuation doesn't make much sense using traditional fundamental analysis. This is to say that its price-to-earnings ratio and book value have always been in nosebleed territory. However, neither measure serves much purpose when we're talking about a nontraditional, fast-growing business. Since Amazon chooses to reinvest a majority of its capital, operating cash flow and historic operating cash flow multiples are considerably better measures of value for the company.</p>\n<p>Dating back to 2010, Amazon has ended each of the past 11 years at a multiple relative to its operating cash flow of between 23 and 37. Again, from a fundamental perspective, this might seem high. But given Amazon's utter dominance in e-commerce and cloud infrastructure services, it's a multiple that Wall Street and investors have been perfectly willing to support for more than a decade.</p>\n<p>As we look to 2021 and beyond, Wall Street is crystal clear that it expects AWS to help more than double Amazon's cash flow per share. Keeping in mind that estimates are fluid, here's what analysts are looking for, in terms of cash flow per share, through 2025, courtesy of <b>FactSet</b>:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>2021:</b> $153.73 consensus cash flow per share (CFPS)</li>\n <li><b>2022:</b> $192.99 consensus CFPS</li>\n <li><b>2023:</b> $234.91 consensus CFPS</li>\n <li><b>2024:</b> $294.30 consensus CFPS</li>\n <li><b>2025:</b> $341.70 consensus CFPS</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If Amazon were to simply remain valued at the median of its operating cash flow multiple (30) over the past 11 years (the midpoint between 23 and 37), the $341.70 in CFPS that it's estimated by Wall Street to bring in by 2025 would lead to a share price of (drum roll) $10,251.</p>\n<p>Amazon at $10,000 might seem like a pie-in-the-sky number, but it would be right in line with how investors have always valued the company. As long as AWS keeps growing by close to 30%, Amazon at $10,000 by 2025 becomes a very achievable target over the next four years.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Prediction: Amazon Will Hit $10,000 by 2025</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\">\nPrediction: Amazon Will Hit $10,000 by 2025\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-11 10:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/10/prediction-amazon-will-hit-10000-by-2025/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market offers few guarantees.

A lot of people say their positions in flashy technology companies are meant to be long-term holdings, but they're really just an effort to make a quick buck. And that's OK. Any profitable trade is technically a good trade. If you can get in and out at the right time, so be it.</p>\n<p>Thing is, there are plenty of tech names that are more than just flash-in-the-pan prospects, and are better suited for holding periods measured in years rather than weeks.</p>\n<p>Here's a closer look at three such technology companies. Not only will they be just as impressive 10 years from now as they are today, but their stocks should be trading at much higher prices.</p>\n<h2>Microsoft</h2>\n<p>It's tough to imagine a world without <b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT). Its Windows operating system is installed on three-fourths of the world's desktops and laptops, according to GlobalStats, and its Office productivity software remains the gold standard for the category. <b>Sony</b>'s PlayStation gaming console enjoys more worldwide market share than Microsoft's Xbox, but the Xbox is closing the gap, and is still the most popular game console in the U.S.</p>\n<p>And these are things consumers can readily see. There's a whole different unseen array of Microsoft-made products that are doing similarly well. For instance, Canalys reports Microsoft's cloud computing business accounted for a second-best 19% of the world's first-quarter cloud infrastructure spending, and the company continues to close the gap with market-leader <b>Amazon</b>.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/362a8a5cb8d412d4e3895fa185d236b7\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Now take a step back and ask a thoughtful, critical question: Is there any chance the world will have less need for computers, cloud computing, productivity software, or game consoles 10 years from now?</p>\n<p>Any reasonable and realistic answer has to be \"no.\" Indeed, it would be surprising if demand for these products and services wasn't considerably greater a decade from now. Being a market leader in multiple categories, Microsoft can steer the market's ongoing growth in a way that serves itself best. For example, the Windows operating system comes with trial versions of Office software pre-installed.</p>\n<p>Bolstering the bullish argument for long-term ownership of Microsoft is the company's evolving business model. Access to Azure, Office, and even video games can now be utilized on a monthly subscription basis, accessible via the cloud. This shift not only makes the company's products more affordable to begin using but also gives Microsoft a better chance of keeping those customers by making it easy to update and upgrade software.</p>\n<p>Last year, the last time Microsoft disclosed such data, it had already lined up more than $100 billion worth of subscription cloud revenue that had yet to be booked -- a figure that continues to edge upward.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PANW\">Palo Alto Networks</a></h2>\n<p>Even after several high-profile cybersecurity gaffes embarrassed organizations ranging from <b>Target </b>to <b>Equifax</b> to Yahoo!, some of the world's most important companies are still being hacked. Most recently, Colonial Pipeline agreed to fork over $4.4 million to a computer hacking group known as Darkside to regain control of its 5,500 miles worth of refined oil pipelines.</p>\n<p>These things are preventable. They're just not being prevented, as too many organizations don't utilize all the digital defenses available to them. Perhaps the Colonial Pipeline debacle will encourage procurement of this protection.</p>\n<p>Enter <b>Palo Alto Networks</b> (NYSE:PANW). Simply put, Palo Alto offers software preventing unauthorized access to a company's network, internal apps, and data. It's even got a ransomware protection solution in its lineup that might have been able to save Colonial Pipeline a few million bucks.</p>\n<p>The opportunity is incredible, and should remain so for a while.

A lot of people say their positions in flashy technology companies are meant to be long-term holdings, but they're really just an effort to make a quick buck. And that's OK. Any profitable trade is technically a good trade. If you can get in and out at the right time, so be it.\nThing is, there are plenty of tech names that are more than just flash-in-the-pan prospects, and are better suited for holding periods measured in years rather than weeks.\nHere's a closer look at three such technology companies. Not only will they be just as impressive 10 years from now as they are today, but their stocks should be trading at much higher prices.\nMicrosoft\nIt's tough to imagine a world without Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Its Windows operating system is installed on three-fourths of the world's desktops and laptops, according to GlobalStats, and its Office productivity software remains the gold standard for the category. Sony's PlayStation gaming console enjoys more worldwide market share than Microsoft's Xbox, but the Xbox is closing the gap, and is still the most popular game console in the U.S.\nAnd these are things consumers can readily see. There's a whole different unseen array of Microsoft-made products that are doing similarly well. For instance, Canalys reports Microsoft's cloud computing business accounted for a second-best 19% of the world's first-quarter cloud infrastructure spending, and the company continues to close the gap with market-leader Amazon.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNow take a step back and ask a thoughtful, critical question: Is there any chance the world will have less need for computers, cloud computing, productivity software, or game consoles 10 years from now?\nAny reasonable and realistic answer has to be \"no.\" Indeed, it would be surprising if demand for these products and services wasn't considerably greater a decade from now. Being a market leader in multiple categories, Microsoft can steer the market's ongoing growth in a way that serves itself best. For example, the Windows operating system comes with trial versions of Office software pre-installed.\nBolstering the bullish argument for long-term ownership of Microsoft is the company's evolving business model. Access to Azure, Office, and even video games can now be utilized on a monthly subscription basis, accessible via the cloud. This shift not only makes the company's products more affordable to begin using but also gives Microsoft a better chance of keeping those customers by making it easy to update and upgrade software.\nLast year, the last time Microsoft disclosed such data, it had already lined up more than $100 billion worth of subscription cloud revenue that had yet to be booked -- a figure that continues to edge upward.\nPalo Alto Networks\nEven after several high-profile cybersecurity gaffes embarrassed organizations ranging from Target to Equifax to Yahoo!, some of the world's most important companies are still being hacked. Most recently, Colonial Pipeline agreed to fork over $4.4 million to a computer hacking group known as Darkside to regain control of its 5,500 miles worth of refined oil pipelines.\nThese things are preventable. They're just not being prevented, as too many organizations don't utilize all the digital defenses available to them. Perhaps the Colonial Pipeline debacle will encourage procurement of this protection.\nEnter Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW). Simply put, Palo Alto offers software preventing unauthorized access to a company's network, internal apps, and data. It's even got a ransomware protection solution in its lineup that might have been able to save Colonial Pipeline a few million bucks.\nThe opportunity is incredible, and should remain so for a while. P&S Intelligence believes the cybersecurity market will grow at an average annual pace of 12.6%, from 2019's $120 billion to $434 billion by 2030. That's a lot, but it's only a fraction of the $10.5 trillion that Cybersecurity Ventures believes cybercrime will cost the world in 2025 alone if enterprises don't step up their digital defense games.\nPalo Alto is doing fine, logging more than seven consecutive years of rising revenue as more and more outfits build their digital moats. Given the outlook, more of the same kind of growth is in the cards for a while.\nInternational Business Machines\nFinally, add International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) to your list of technology stocks to buy and hold for the next decade.\nYes, this is the same IBM that failed to respond to the advent of things like cloud computing, mobile devices, and all that goes with both. The company's \"strategic imperatives\" plan unveiled in 2015 was meant to steer the company away from a legacy mainframe business that was already dying and toward more contemporary opportunities like the aforementioned cloud and mobile security. By and large, though, it was too little too late.\nThe IBM of today, however, isn't the IBM from even as recently as two years ago. It's ready to compete where it counts.\nTake last month's revelation of new technologies capable of fabricating a 2-nanometer microchip as an example. The microscopic measure is in reference to how small a chip's transistors can be made and still function properly. The smaller, the better, as smaller transistors consume less power, operate faster, and require less space when room is a factor. For perspective, 7-nanometer chips are the best the market has to offer right now.\nIt's not just more functional chips IBM is starting to develop, either. Just within the past few weeks, the company has unveiled a way for data centers to more efficiently store and retrieve data, and launched AutoSQL, which is capable of retrieving data eight times faster than previous approaches are. Both technologies have a myriad of potential uses, including in the artificial intelligence arena.\nRead between the lines. This isn't yesteryear's IBM.\nIt could still take years for the company to fully monetize these and other breakthroughs, but they're worth the wait.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":580,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111688849,"gmtCreate":1622678901581,"gmtModify":1704188656599,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looks like a good problem to have vs massive unemployment &amp; no demand / spending due to no money","listText":"Looks like a good problem to have vs massive unemployment &amp; no demand / spending due to no money","text":"Looks like a good problem to have vs massive unemployment & no demand / spending due to no money","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111688849","repostId":"2140443127","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140443127","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":1622657895,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2140443127?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-03 02:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amid hiring troubles, rising prices, U.S. growth gains speed -Fed","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140443127","media":"Reuters","summary":"WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. economic recovery accelerated in recent weeks even as a long","content":"<p>WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. economic recovery accelerated in recent weeks even as a long list of supply chain troubles, hiring difficulties, and rising prices cascaded through the country, Federal Reserve officials said in their latest review of economic conditions.</p><p>Growth was at a \"somewhat faster rate\" from early to late May the Fed reported in its Beige Book summary of anecdotal reports about the economy on Wednesday, with officials noting \"the positive effects on the economy of increased vaccination rates and relaxed social distancing measures.\"</p><p>But getting a $20 trillion economy back to speed posed challenges of its own, Fed officials reported based on contacts in their 12 regions.</p><p>Homebuilders could not keep up with demand, manufacturers faced delivery delays of the material needed to finish goods, and \"it remained difficult for many firms to hire new workers, especially low-wage hourly workers, truck drivers, and skilled tradespeople.\"</p><p>Prices were rising, and for now were likely to continue to do so, the Fed reported.</p><p>\"Looking forward, contacts anticipate facing cost increases and charging higher prices in coming months,\" the Fed said.</p><p>The Beige Book will help frame the Fed's upcoming June meeting as officials edge towards a debate about how and when to begin pulling back on the $120 billion in monthly bond purchases and near-zero interest rates put in place to battle the economic fallout from the pandemic.</p><p>Fed officials say they will likely struggle for several months to get a clear read on an economy snapping back to life but hitting some speed bumps as it accelerates.</p><p>Hiring in April was much slower than expected, with a record number of job openings, but many going begging as workers weighed the risks of returning to work against practical constraints like a lack of child care and the continued availability of enhanced federal unemployment benefits.

The print is expected to show a rise of 3.5% in April over last year for the biggest increase since 2008, according to Bloomberg consensus data. This would also accelerate after a year-on-year jump of 2.3% in March. On a month-over-month basis, the PCE likely increased by 0.6%, accelerating after a 0.5% increase during the prior month.</p><p>Stripping away volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core PCE is expected to have increased by 2.9% in April over last year, which would be the largest jump in more than two decades.</p><p>Though the core PCE serves as the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the expected surge in this week's inflation reports are unlikely to provoke immediate concern for the central bank. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said repeatedly he believes inflationary pressures this year will be \"transitory,\" largely reflecting base effects as this year's data lap last year's pandemic-depressed levels.

The print is expected to show a rise of 3.5% in April over last year for the biggest increase since 2008, according to Bloomberg consensus data. This would also accelerate after a year-on-year jump of 2.3% in March. On a month-over-month basis, the PCE likely increased by 0.6%, accelerating after a 0.5% increase during the prior month.Stripping away volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core PCE is expected to have increased by 2.9% in April over last year, which would be the largest jump in more than two decades.Though the core PCE serves as the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the expected surge in this week's inflation reports are unlikely to provoke immediate concern for the central bank. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said repeatedly he believes inflationary pressures this year will be \"transitory,\" largely reflecting base effects as this year's data lap last year's pandemic-depressed levels. And for years previously, inflation ran well below the central bank's targeted levels.In the words of the central bank's latest monetary policy statement, Federal Open Market Committee members wrote, \"With inflation running persistently below this longer-run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2% for some time so that inflation averages 2% over time and longer‑term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2%.\" In other words, the Fed has suggested monetary policy would remain as is — with interest rates near zero and the Fed's asset purchases taking place at a rate of $120 billion per month — as the economic recovery out of the pandemic progresses.Still, the market has suggested it might need more convincing before agreeing that the jump in inflation will not be long-lasting or prompt a change in the Fed's current ultra-accommodative monetary policy positioning.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.</p>\n<p>\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"</p>\n<p>Let's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2da7d6438277757a73f9e626ebc6fc2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.\n\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"\nLet's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo\nEveryone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.\nThis essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at one point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.\nBut as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.\nThe stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.\n2. Dumping Synchrony Financial\nLast quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.\nWhile I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, Bank of America.\nConsidering that Buffett already has a huge position in American Express, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.\n3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again\nBerkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in PNC Financial Services Group and M&T Bank, in the fourth quarter of 2020. \nOne possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. \nOverall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":190,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194236526,"gmtCreate":1621381860165,"gmtModify":1704356602896,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"With China Techs under pressure (see HSTech)&nbsp;due to govt regulatory attention, will this IPO be positive ?","listText":"With China Techs under pressure (see HSTech)&nbsp;due to govt regulatory attention, will this IPO be positive ?","text":"With China Techs under pressure (see HSTech) due to govt regulatory attention, will this IPO be positive ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194236526","repostId":"2136738931","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136738931","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":1621318800,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2136738931?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-18 14:20","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"JD Logistics launches Hong Kong IPO to raise up to US$3.4 billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136738931","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The logistics arm of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com started marketing its Hong Kong initial public offering  to retail investors on Monday at a price range of HK$39.36 to HK$43.36 per share, which could see the firm raise as much as HK$26.4 billion  if the deal is priced at the top end.JD Logistics' public offering will run from Monday to Friday.

Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.Investors will be keen to learn more about JD Logistics' plan to churn out a profit. The Beijing-based firm said in its prospectus that it expects a bigger net loss for this year, after racking up losses of 2.8 billion yuan (US$435 million) in 2018, 2.2 billion yuan in 2019 and 4 billion yuan in 2020.\"As we currently prioritise growth of our business and expansion of our market share over profitability, there can be significant fluctuations in our profitability profile in the near-to-medium term,\" the company said in its draft prospectus.JD Logistics is seeking to differentiate itself from other players, such as ZTO and Yunda Holding, by touting itself as a technology-driven logistic services provider using autonomous mobile robots, sorting robots and self-driving vehicles to enhance delivery speed and accuracy.Pitching the stock sale with a tech angle could help JD Logistics paint a more positive outlook. This is because competition is particularly keen in the express delivery sector, with reports of some newer players offering services at below cost to grab business.Over the past three years, the average revenue per parcel for express delivery companies declined by 50 per cent to 60 per cent owing to intensive market competition, according to Charlie Chen, an analyst at China Renaissance.SF Express, China's top delivery service provider, shocked the market this month after it forecast a first-quarter loss of 1.1 billion yuan, triggering a sell-off of its stock. As of Friday's close, its share price in Shanghai was almost halved from its mid-February peak.Five players - ZTO, YTO Express, STO Express, SF Express and Yunda Holding - account for nearly 80 per cent of China's express delivery service market.China is the biggest logistics market in the world in terms of spending, with total logistics spending reaching 14.9 trillion yuan in 2020. That is expected to increase to 19.3 trillion yuan by 2025, according to data from research firm China Insights Consultancy cited in JD Logistics' prospectus.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198898618,"gmtCreate":1620949753434,"gmtModify":1704350882074,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"In 5 years, meaning ~+10% a year.

At least one major CEO has publicly called them a waste of time.PNC(PNC)CEO William Demchak said at the bank's shareholder meeting last month that \"there's not really a compelling case to be made for a stock split.\" One PNC share costs about $190.\"At one time, the conventional thinking was that when a company's share price got to a certain level, the company would split the stock as a way of foreshadowing expectations of growth and in order to make it more affordable for retail shareholders,\" he said.But Demchak added that \"all the stock split really does is increase costs because it doubles the cost of the mechanics that go into servicing every share.\"\"The split might result in some positive short-term public relations that brings about maybe a short-term bump,\" he added. \"But long term, it would appear that the cost is more than it's worth.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106837018,"gmtCreate":1620100333334,"gmtModify":1704338655701,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg&nbsp;Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","listText":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg&nbsp;Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","text":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106837018","repostId":"1140379495","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"These articles r hot air or b s?","text":"These articles r hot air or b s?","html":"These articles r hot air or b s?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":105322705,"gmtCreate":1620272093107,"gmtModify":1704341143367,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T39.SI\">$SINGAPORE PRESS HLDGS LTD(T39.SI)$</a>https://links.sgx.com/1.0.0/corporate-announcements/AYO9VPTD5YJANBTE/2d18acb8678a6fc7fe3b60ffebbff571ce07ffd2a734b5736d39f100d31b3524","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T39.SI\">$SINGAPORE PRESS HLDGS LTD(T39.SI)$</a>https://links.sgx.com/1.0.0/corporate-announcements/AYO9VPTD5YJANBTE/2d18acb8678a6fc7fe3b60ffebbff571ce07ffd2a734b5736d39f100d31b3524","text":"$SINGAPORE PRESS HLDGS LTD(T39.SI)$https://links.sgx.com/1.0.0/corporate-announcements/AYO9VPTD5YJANBTE/2d18acb8678a6fc7fe3b60ffebbff571ce07ffd2a734b5736d39f100d31b3524","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0eb4c2f0447251e5004c99df7eae9a5f","width":"1030","height":"1754"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/105322705","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":844,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575847166129245","authorId":"3575847166129245","name":"Ll huat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2dff4b5a66d50eabc86a2180906e1fdb","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Where thE furure lies?","text":"Where thE furure lies?","html":"Where thE furure lies?"}],"imageCount":2,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104140362,"gmtCreate":1620367212656,"gmtModify":1704342660426,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T39.SI\">$SINGAPORE PRESS HLDGS LTD(T39.SI)$</a>OBSERVATIONS&nbsp;•SPH becomes a mostly Property co after removing Media biz&nbsp;•Besides&nbsp;their stake in SPHREIT, they have assets in Nursing Homes, Student Hostels in UK &amp;

But investors should also know what stocks an","content":"<p>Investing in the best-loved stocks can be a good idea. But investors should also know what stocks analysts are shunning.</p>\n<p>While simply avoiding those companies is one sound strategy, it can also make sense to dig through the reject bin. Sometimes the only direction to go from the bottom is up. The most hated stocks can only get less hated over time, a fact that on its own can be enough for above-average stock gains.</p>\n<p>Wall Streetratingsare always a helpful guide for investors—the pros as well as amateur stock pickers. Analysts covering companies at brokerage firms are, after all, paid to follow industry trends, compare companies, and value stocks.</p>\n<p>Over the past year, analysts’ favorite 10% ofS&amp;P 500stocks are up almost 70% on average. The bottom 10%, on the other hand, is up closer to 50%. Favorites have outperformed by about 20 percentage points. The overall S&amp;P index, meanwhile, is up about 48%.</p>\n<p>It might seem odd that the average gain for a hated stock in the S&amp;P 500 is 2 percentage points better than what the index achieved over the past year. The reason is that the S&amp;P 500 is weighted according to market capitalization, so moves in bigger companies’ stocks have more impact on the overall benchmark. Not adjusting for market capitalization, the average gain for an S&amp;P 500 stock is about 63%.</p>\n<p>That fits with the common-sense view that avoiding the dregs is a good idea. But this past year was difficult. During the first several months of the pandemic, it paid to invest in large, high-quality stocks. It will surprise no one to learn that Microsoft (ticker: MSFT), Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) are all well liked by the Street.</p>\n<p>Now, thetide is turningand the economy is growing again. That could be a signal to look at stocks that have had a harder time.</p>\n<p><i>Barron’s</i>&nbsp;came up with a list of the least-liked stocks on the Street by weighting the Buy, Hold, and Sell calls on each company to arrive at a single number summarizing overall sentiment. We took the percentage of ratings for a stock that are Buys, subtracted the share that are Sells, and then added the percentage at Hold, counting each as one-fourth of a Buy to reflect the fact that most analysts expect Hold-rated stocks to keep pace with their peers.</p>\n<p>In the S&amp;P 500, about 56% of ratings are Buys. 36% are Holds and 7% are Sells. The numbers don’t total 100 due to rounding.</p>\n<p>Taking all that into consideration, the 24 lowest-rated S&amp;P stocks—the ones analysts tell their clients to avoid—are as follows: American Airlines Group (AAL), Lumen Technologies (LUMN), Consolidated Edison (ED),Franklin Resources(BEN).Brown-Forman(BF. B), Mettler-Toledo International (MTD), Expeditors International of Washington (EXPD),Waters(WAT), Hormel Foods (HRL),McCormick(MKC), ViacomCBS (VIAC), Unum Group (UNM), Comerica (CMA) Under Armour (UAA), J.M. Smucker (SJM), Western Union (WU), Robert Half International (RHI),Discovery(DISCA), Varian Medical Systems (VAR), Invesco (IVZ), Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), Cincinnati Financial (CINF), Genuine Parts (GPC) and WEC Energy Group (WEC).</p>\n<p>The Dirty Two DozenThe 24 lowest-rated stocks in the S&amp;P 500, calculated using a weighted score for Buy, Sell, and Hold ratings.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company / Ticker</th>\n   <th>Analyst Rating Score*</th>\n   <th>2021E P/E</th>\n   <th>Percentage Off All-Time High</th>\n   <th>% YTD</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>American Airlines / AAL</td>\n   <td>-0.7</td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td>-60.2</td>\n   <td>88</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Lumen Technologies / LUMN</td>\n   <td>-0.5</td>\n   <td>8.2</td>\n   <td>-74.3</td>\n   <td>32</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consolidated Edison / ED</td>\n   <td>-0.5</td>\n   <td>17.7</td>\n   <td>-21.0</td>\n   <td>-11</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Franklin Resources / BEN</td>\n   <td>-0.4</td>\n   <td>10.3</td>\n   <td>-48.4</td>\n   <td>91</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Brown-Forman / BF.B</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n   <td>41.0</td>\n   <td>-14.9</td>\n   <td>14</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Mettler-Toledo / MTD</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n   <td>41.1</td>\n   <td>-3.9</td>\n   <td>68</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Expeditors Int’l of Washington / EXPD</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n   <td>25.7</td>\n   <td>-1.5</td>\n   <td>54</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Waters / WAT</td>\n   <td>-0.2</td>\n   <td>31.9</td>\n   <td>0.0</td>\n   <td>57</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Hormel Foods / HRL</td>\n   <td>-0.1</td>\n   <td>26.5</td>\n   <td>-12.5</td>\n   <td>-1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>McCormick / MKC</td>\n   <td>-0.1</td>\n   <td>29.7</td>\n   <td>-16.5</td>\n   <td>16</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>ViacomCBS / VIAC</td>\n   <td>0.0</td>\n   <td>10.3</td>\n   <td>-58.9</td>\n   <td>160</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Unum / UNM</td>\n   <td>0.0</td>\n   <td>5.8</td>\n   <td>-55.8</td>\n   <td>89</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Comerica / CMA</td>\n   <td>0.0</td>\n   <td>13.4</td>\n   <td>-30.4</td>\n   <td>118</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Under Armour / UAA</td>\n   <td>0.0</td>\n   <td>142.1</td>\n   <td>-58.5</td>\n   <td>105</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>J.M.

Mettler, for instance, trades at 41 times the per-share earnings expected for 2021.</p>\n<p>Others firms face potentially damaging long-term changes in their industries. Franklin Resources, for instance, is an asset manager dealing with the shift from actively managed funds to index funds with lower fees. And some companies just don’t seem to have much room for growth. McCormick sells spices, and the chances that demand will rocket higher unexpectedly appear slim.</p>\n<p>Not every one of the hated names will pass muster for investors. But the hated stocks have one thing going for them: They are cheaper. Although not every one of the two dozen is making money, the shares trade for an average of about 20 times estimated 2021 earnings, while the market is at closer to 24 times.</p>\n<p>Another plus is that unlike the S&amp;P 500, the rejects aren’t trading near their record highs, a factor that points at the potential for a rebound.

But investors should also know what stocks analysts are shunning.\nWhile simply avoiding those companies is one sound strategy, it can also make sense to dig through the reject bin. Sometimes the only direction to go from the bottom is up. The most hated stocks can only get less hated over time, a fact that on its own can be enough for above-average stock gains.\nWall Streetratingsare always a helpful guide for investors—the pros as well as amateur stock pickers. Analysts covering companies at brokerage firms are, after all, paid to follow industry trends, compare companies, and value stocks.\nOver the past year, analysts’ favorite 10% ofS&P 500stocks are up almost 70% on average. The bottom 10%, on the other hand, is up closer to 50%. Favorites have outperformed by about 20 percentage points. The overall S&P index, meanwhile, is up about 48%.\nIt might seem odd that the average gain for a hated stock in the S&P 500 is 2 percentage points better than what the index achieved over the past year. The reason is that the S&P 500 is weighted according to market capitalization, so moves in bigger companies’ stocks have more impact on the overall benchmark. Not adjusting for market capitalization, the average gain for an S&P 500 stock is about 63%.\nThat fits with the common-sense view that avoiding the dregs is a good idea. But this past year was difficult. During the first several months of the pandemic, it paid to invest in large, high-quality stocks. It will surprise no one to learn that Microsoft (ticker: MSFT), Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) are all well liked by the Street.\nNow, thetide is turningand the economy is growing again. That could be a signal to look at stocks that have had a harder time.\nBarron’s came up with a list of the least-liked stocks on the Street by weighting the Buy, Hold, and Sell calls on each company to arrive at a single number summarizing overall sentiment. We took the percentage of ratings for a stock that are Buys, subtracted the share that are Sells, and then added the percentage at Hold, counting each as one-fourth of a Buy to reflect the fact that most analysts expect Hold-rated stocks to keep pace with their peers.\nIn the S&P 500, about 56% of ratings are Buys. 36% are Holds and 7% are Sells. The numbers don’t total 100 due to rounding.\nTaking all that into consideration, the 24 lowest-rated S&P stocks—the ones analysts tell their clients to avoid—are as follows: American Airlines Group (AAL), Lumen Technologies (LUMN), Consolidated Edison (ED),Franklin Resources(BEN).Brown-Forman(BF. B), Mettler-Toledo International (MTD), Expeditors International of Washington (EXPD),Waters(WAT), Hormel Foods (HRL),McCormick(MKC), ViacomCBS (VIAC), Unum Group (UNM), Comerica (CMA) Under Armour (UAA), J.M. Smucker (SJM), Western Union (WU), Robert Half International (RHI),Discovery(DISCA), Varian Medical Systems (VAR), Invesco (IVZ), Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), Cincinnati Financial (CINF), Genuine Parts (GPC) and WEC Energy Group (WEC).\nThe Dirty Two DozenThe 24 lowest-rated stocks in the S&P 500, calculated using a weighted score for Buy, Sell, and Hold ratings.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nAnalyst Rating Score*\n2021E P/E\nPercentage Off All-Time High\n% YTD\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / AAL\n-0.7\nN/A\n-60.2\n88\n\n\nLumen Technologies / LUMN\n-0.5\n8.2\n-74.3\n32\n\n\nConsolidated Edison / ED\n-0.5\n17.7\n-21.0\n-11\n\n\nFranklin Resources / BEN\n-0.4\n10.3\n-48.4\n91\n\n\nBrown-Forman / BF.B\n-0.3\n41.0\n-14.9\n14\n\n\nMettler-Toledo / MTD\n-0.3\n41.1\n-3.9\n68\n\n\nExpeditors Int’l of Washington / EXPD\n-0.3\n25.7\n-1.5\n54\n\n\nWaters / WAT\n-0.2\n31.9\n0.0\n57\n\n\nHormel Foods / HRL\n-0.1\n26.5\n-12.5\n-1\n\n\nMcCormick / MKC\n-0.1\n29.7\n-16.5\n16\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n0.0\n10.3\n-58.9\n160\n\n\nUnum / UNM\n0.0\n5.8\n-55.8\n89\n\n\nComerica / CMA\n0.0\n13.4\n-30.4\n118\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n0.0\n142.1\n-58.5\n105\n\n\nJ.M.

Some stocks, such as American Airlines, are there because of huge, pandemic-induced losses. Others simply look expensive. Mettler, for instance, trades at 41 times the per-share earnings expected for 2021.\nOthers firms face potentially damaging long-term changes in their industries. Franklin Resources, for instance, is an asset manager dealing with the shift from actively managed funds to index funds with lower fees. And some companies just don’t seem to have much room for growth. McCormick sells spices, and the chances that demand will rocket higher unexpectedly appear slim.\nNot every one of the hated names will pass muster for investors. But the hated stocks have one thing going for them: They are cheaper. Although not every one of the two dozen is making money, the shares trade for an average of about 20 times estimated 2021 earnings, while the market is at closer to 24 times.\nAnother plus is that unlike the S&P 500, the rejects aren’t trading near their record highs, a factor that points at the potential for a rebound. The two dozen are down by an average of roughly 25% from their all-time highs.\nThe bottom line, then, is that bargains may be hiding in the trash heap. But as is the case with any stock screen, investors will have to dig deeper to find out which.\nGo to it, contrarians.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3561582804451218","authorId":"3561582804451218","name":"Ironteam","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/820ff4e88bef87bdd250ce62ad08f334","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"Good thinking, but it's across so many types of industries, what PE would be appropriate to decide which is good?","text":"Good thinking, but it's across so many types of industries, what PE would be appropriate to decide which is good?","html":"Good thinking, but it's across so many types of industries, what PE would be appropriate to decide which is good?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356454575,"gmtCreate":1616809804497,"gmtModify":1704799274402,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"BRK bought (1) &amp; (2), already put in my watchlist","listText":"BRK bought (1) &amp; (2), already put in my watchlist","text":"BRK bought (1) & (2), already put in my watchlist","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/356454575","repostId":"1114428323","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114428323","pubTimestamp":1616771427,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114428323?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 23:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Top 10 Undervalued Income Stocks For 2021 - Value Beats Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114428323","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"At the end of 2020, we showcased a list of 10 undervalued income stocks for 2021.

This resulted in a combination of upside potential and above-average income for investors that bought these stocks at the time. In this article, we will look again at the same ten stocks to see what has changed and whether they are all still attractive at current valuations.</p>\n<p><b>Top 10 Value Picks For Dividend Investors</b></p>\n<p>Our choices in&nbsp;our original article&nbsp;included the following 10 stocks:</p>\n<p>- Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) and AbbVie (ABBV) in healthcare</p>\n<p>- MPLX (MPLX) and Enterprise Products (EPD) in energy</p>\n<p>- Prudential (PRU) and Citigroup (C) in financials</p>\n<p>- Simon Property Group (SPG) and W. P. Carey (WPC) in real estate</p>\n<p>- AT&amp;T (T) in telecommunication</p>\n<p>- Intel (INTC) in tech</p>\n<p>Looking back one quarter later, we see that shares have performed like this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/efdd2ae3235c94c5e041ed4f3925d561\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"555\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Year-to-date, they delivered an average return of 12% and a median return of 15%. Contrast this with the year-to-date return of 3% that was delivered by the S&amp;P 500 index (SPY), and we see that our picks clearly outperformed the broad market, delivering 4-5 times the performance enjoyed by those that put their money into the index.</p>\n<p><b>2020 Versus 2021: Growth Versus Value</b></p>\n<p>This was, I believe, partially the result of investing in high-yielding stocks that traded at very inexpensive valuations and were thus undervalued, but the portfolio also benefited from an overall shift in the market's focus.</p>\n<p>2020 was the year of growth stocks, which saw many \"growthy\" tech names generate very attractive gains. The same could be said about EV stocks, renewable stocks, etc., which all flourished last year thanks to an appetite for growth stocks and unprecedented monetary stimulus. In 2021, that has changed to some degree:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a81cfc9a5d54fce53409f7ea5cd0975\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>In the above chart, we see a very clear trend that emerged towards the end of February. The growth-heavy Nasdaq index (NASDAQ:QQQ) started to decline, underperforming the S&amp;P 500 index this year, whereas the less techy, less growth-focused Dow Jones index (NYSEARCA:DIA) has beaten the S&amp;P 500 so far in 2021. Looking at two ETFs that focus on either Value (VTV) or Growth(NYSEARCA:VUG), we see that the value theme clearly has been the winner so far this year, beating all three indexes, whereas the growth-themed ETF is down this year. The good news is that our basket of stocks still easily outperformed the Value ETF, which shows that we seem to have at least some skill when it comes to picking individual stocks (or maybe we got lucky).</p>\n<p><b>Are Those 10 Still Great Buys Today?</b></p>\n<p>Since some of these stocks have moved so much already in the first three months, they may not all be an opportune buy any longer, which is why we will take a quick look at all ten individually.</p>\n<p><b>1. AbbVie</b></p>\n<p>AbbVie was one of our two healthcare picks in the original article. The company combines many positives, including an above-average yield, a low valuation, and steady growth even during the pandemic. AbbVie's most recent quarterly results showcase its outstanding resilience during the current crisis: The company managed to grow its revenues across its portfolio, with Humira, Imbruvica, and its new drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq&nbsp;showing&nbsp;a strong performance.</p>\n<p>Even better, the company guided earnings above consensus, forecasting earnings per share of $12.40 for the current year. Relative to its share price of $103, this means that shares got even cheaper since our December article, they are now trading for just 8.3 times forward earnings. In short, there is nothing not to like, and I believe that 5.1%-yielding AbbVie is a&nbsp;strong buy.</p>\n<p><b>2. Bristol-Myers Squibb</b></p>\n<p>Bristol-Myers is the other healthcare pick in our original list. Like AbbVie, its shares were very inexpensive in December, and like AbbVie, it has continued to deliver strong operational results. Its most recent quarterly update included a 39% revenue growth rate compared to the previous year's quarter. This was impacted by one-time items from the Celgene takeover, but even adjusted for that, revenue growth came in at a strong 10% year over year.</p>\n<p>Like AbbVie, Bristol-Myers has also increased its earnings per share guidance for 2021, now forecasting profits of ~$7.30&nbsp;per share. Since shares are essentially flat since the beginning of the year, investors get an even better deal right now in terms of Bristol-Myers' valuation, which stands at 8.3 times net profits right now. Bristol-Myers is also one of the stocks Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B)&nbsp;has continued to add to&nbsp;in the most recent quarter, which indicates that this is indeed a strong pick for value investors.</p>\n<p><b>3. MPLX</b></p>\n<p>MPLX is a natural gas midstream player that offered a great income yield in December, at almost 13%. On top of that, shares were very inexpensive, trading at a distributable cash flow yield of almost 19%.</p>\n<p>Like many other energy-related names, MPLX has performed very well in Q1, delivering a performance of almost 20% in three months. Nevertheless, shares are not at all expensive, trading at a single-digit<i>earnings</i>multiple - even though earnings are generally a lot lower than cash flows for pipeline companies due to non-cash depreciation charges. Management believes that the company will have ample surplus cash this year, even after making its hefty dividend payments.</p>\n<p>Its CEO stated that shares are undervalued and that the company will likely do&nbsp;buybacks&nbsp;this year, which is a major positive. This will not only be highly accretive thanks to the low valuation shares are trading at, but should also further support the price. Shares are a less outstanding buy compared to December (or&nbsp;earlier in 2020), but they still look very compelling, we believe. They also still offer a very attractive dividend yield of 11% at today's price.</p>\n<p><b>4. Enterprise Products</b></p>\n<p>Like MPLX, Enterprise Products has performed well so far this year, on the back of enthusiasm for energy-related names. Its profits and cash flows are not really tied to the price of oil, but the market still bid up shares in recent months. The same had been true in 2020 when shares were sold off in tandem with other energy names, even though Enterprise Products' cash flows were not really impacted by lower oil prices.</p>\n<p>Shares are up by double-digits so far this year, but Enterprise Products' shares are not at all expensive. Considering that shares are trading at just around 7 times this year's distributable cash flows, while shares offer a dividend yield of 8.1%, makes us believe that this is still a strong pick for income investors. The fact that management has been buying back shares is another tailwind that could gain relevance as growth spending slows down, which should free up more money for buybacks going forward. We thus&nbsp;still like Enterprise Products&nbsp;as a high-quality midstream company at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>5. Prudential Financial</b></p>\n<p>This insurer has had a very solid 2020 and seeks to generate even stronger profits this year. Shares are up by double-digits so far this year but do not look expensive. With current forecasts seeing the company earn about $11.50 per share this year, and even more next year, shares trade at a ~8 times forward earnings multiple right now. The company continues to reward shareholders handsomely, as Prudential has raised its dividend by 5% in February.</p>\n<p>At current prices, the stock yields 5.1%, which is quite attractive in a low-yield world. Management plans to return a total of $10 billion to the company's owners through 2023, which equates to shareholder returns in the 10% range. Investors can thus count on more dividend increases down the road, coupled with some buybacks that will be quite accretive as long as shares continue to trade at an inexpensive valuation. Shares were a better buy in December, but they still look solid today.</p>\n<p><b>6. Citigroup</b></p>\n<p>Citigroup was the only bank on our list, and I mainly chose it over peers due to its below-average valuation and above-average dividend yield. 2021 has been great for bank stocks so far, due to an overall shift to value stocks, combined with rising interest spreads that are beneficial for banks' earnings.</p>\n<p>Shares rose by double-digits so far this year, hitting a high of $76 about two weeks ago. At that price, shares were trading above tangible book value, which stands at $73.80 right now, which is why I sold part of my position in the mid-$70s. Nevertheless, I did not sell my entire stake, as I feel that shares could rise above that level at some point in 2021, even though they have pulled back a little for now.</p>\n<p>The fact that banks are allowed to return more capital to their owners this year could become a catalyst for share price gains in 2021, as Citigroup will likely seek to increase its dividend and ramp up share repurchases. Trading marginally below tangible book value and at around 10 times this year's earnings, Citigroup is not at all expensive, although also not an absolute bargain any longer. I am moderately bullish, but wouldn't buy more at current valuations.</p>\n<p><b>7. Simon Property</b></p>\n<p>Simon Property is the leading mall player in the US, especially following the close of its acquisition of Taubman. The company had a harsh 2020, but its assets will, we believe, remain in use for a long time. High-quality malls in major metropolitan areas will not lose their value due to online shopping, as retail space can be used for more experimental retail, restaurants, bars, co-working spaces, hotels, and so on.</p>\n<p>This was our thesis throughout 2020, which is why we were very bullish on the stock when it traded at ultra-low valuations last year. In 2021, shares have, so far, returned almost 30%, as the market is increasingly realizing that the pandemic was not the end for high-quality retail real estate such as the properties that Simon Property owns. Shares breached $120 earlier in March but have pulled back a little for now.</p>\n<p>Trading at ~11 times this year's FFO, Simon Property is not an absolute bargain stock any longer. I personally believe that shares will rise back towards pre-crisis levels of $150+ eventually, but that may take some time, and there is not necessarily massive upside left in 2021. I continue to hold my Simon Property position and am bullish with a long-term view, but the best time to add this stock wasin 2020 when it traded at double-digits.</p>\n<p><b>8. W. P. Carey</b></p>\n<p>Unlike Simon Property, W. P. Carey has not risen a lot this year. Instead, shares are down slightly, potentially due to the fact that real estate investors moved towards more cyclical picks in the sector for the reopening trade. W. P. Carey is a rock-solid, low-risk income stock that offers a yield of 6.0% right here and that trades at 15 times forward FFO. This is an above-average valuation compared to the other stocks in this list, but that seems justified based on the fact that W. P. Carey has always traded at higher valuations than most of these stocks.</p>\n<p>As income investors can still not generate attractive yields from bonds, they will, I believe, eventually flock back towards low-risk REITs such as W. P. Carey or Realty Income (O), which could propel shares of these companies back to pre-crisis levels. In W. P. Carey's case, they traded at around $90 before the pandemic, which equates to a yield of around 4.5%. A recovery to that level does not seem unrealistic, I believe, which is why I continue to see W. P. Carey as a moderate-return, low-risk stock, which makes it attractive from a risk-to-reward perspective.</p>\n<p><b>9. AT&amp;T</b></p>\n<p>AT&amp;T remains a battleground stock, with bulls touting the undervaluation and potential in streaming, while bears focus on the high debt load. We do not see AT&amp;T as an extremely-high-quality pick, but the company's shares offer a solid yield of almost 7% and current management seems to have the right focus. Plans to monetize non-core assets, including DirecTV, are great, and the company plans to deleverage meaningfully over the coming years. AT&amp;T is not a high-growth company and will not turn into one, but the fact that the performance of HBO Max has&nbsp;beaten management's expectations&nbsp;is a positive for sure. At less than 10 times net profits, AT&amp;T remains quite inexpensive and if management executes on its plans, shares could deliver quite solid returns over the coming years.</p>\n<p><b>10. Intel</b></p>\n<p>Intel is a somewhat weird stock - the company executes well and grows steadily, but its shares see big swings up and down depending on whether investors are focusing on positive news items or negative news items at the moment. So far this year, they seem to do the prior, as shares have risen by 25% in just three months. This can't be explained by the underlying operational performance, which has been solid but didn't include growth of 20%+. Instead, the market is currently liking Intel's stock based on recent news such as a new CEO and plans to invest heavily to grow production capacity.</p>\n<p>I think the best time to buy Intel's shares is when the market is&nbsp;focusing on the bad news, whereas one may want to lock in gains when shares are trading at the top end of the recent valuation range. At 13.5 times forward earnings, Intel's shares trade at a premium to the median earnings multiple they have traded at over the last couple of years, thus I wouldn't buy here. Instead, locking in gains in the high $60s seemed like an opportune choice. I wouldn't be too surprised if shares fell back towards the mid-$50s or lower at some point during this year.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Our picks for 2020 have done very well so far, easily beating the market and even purely value-focused ETFs. However, not all of these stocks are necessarily still a great buy. I personally wouldn't buy Intel now, as the stock has already delivered easily more than 20% this year, and is trading at the higher end of the recent valuation range. On the other hand, some of our picks, such as AbbVie or W. P. Carey, are still priced very favorably and may even be a better buy right now compared to the beginning of the year.</p>\n<p>We welcome you to share your comments on the above stocks, as well as your picks for the remainder of 2021!</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Top 10 Undervalued Income Stocks For 2021 - Value Beats Growth</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\">\nTop 10 Undervalued Income Stocks For 2021 - Value Beats Growth\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-26 23:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4416178-top-10-undervalued-income-stocks-for-2021-value-beats-growth><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAt the end of 2020, we showcased a list of 10 undervalued income stocks for 2021.

Looking back, we see that the performance, on average, has been great so far.\nIn this report, we examine the reasons for that and will look at whether all 10 are still strong buys today.\nIn some cases, the opportunity is even better now, in others, it may be time to lock in some gains.\n\nPhoto by VeranikaSmirnaya/iStock via Getty Images\nWe wrote an article at the end of December in which we showcased 10 attractive income stocks that traded at inexpensive valuations back then. This resulted in a combination of upside potential and above-average income for investors that bought these stocks at the time. In this article, we will look again at the same ten stocks to see what has changed and whether they are all still attractive at current valuations.\nTop 10 Value Picks For Dividend Investors\nOur choices in our original article included the following 10 stocks:\n- Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) and AbbVie (ABBV) in healthcare\n- MPLX (MPLX) and Enterprise Products (EPD) in energy\n- Prudential (PRU) and Citigroup (C) in financials\n- Simon Property Group (SPG) and W. P. Carey (WPC) in real estate\n- AT&T (T) in telecommunication\n- Intel (INTC) in tech\nLooking back one quarter later, we see that shares have performed like this:\nData by YCharts\nYear-to-date, they delivered an average return of 12% and a median return of 15%. Contrast this with the year-to-date return of 3% that was delivered by the S&P 500 index (SPY), and we see that our picks clearly outperformed the broad market, delivering 4-5 times the performance enjoyed by those that put their money into the index.\n2020 Versus 2021: Growth Versus Value\nThis was, I believe, partially the result of investing in high-yielding stocks that traded at very inexpensive valuations and were thus undervalued, but the portfolio also benefited from an overall shift in the market's focus.\n2020 was the year of growth stocks, which saw many \"growthy\" tech names generate very attractive gains. The same could be said about EV stocks, renewable stocks, etc., which all flourished last year thanks to an appetite for growth stocks and unprecedented monetary stimulus. In 2021, that has changed to some degree:\nData by YCharts\nIn the above chart, we see a very clear trend that emerged towards the end of February. The growth-heavy Nasdaq index (NASDAQ:QQQ) started to decline, underperforming the S&P 500 index this year, whereas the less techy, less growth-focused Dow Jones index (NYSEARCA:DIA) has beaten the S&P 500 so far in 2021. Looking at two ETFs that focus on either Value (VTV) or Growth(NYSEARCA:VUG), we see that the value theme clearly has been the winner so far this year, beating all three indexes, whereas the growth-themed ETF is down this year. The good news is that our basket of stocks still easily outperformed the Value ETF, which shows that we seem to have at least some skill when it comes to picking individual stocks (or maybe we got lucky).\nAre Those 10 Still Great Buys Today?\nSince some of these stocks have moved so much already in the first three months, they may not all be an opportune buy any longer, which is why we will take a quick look at all ten individually.\n1. AbbVie\nAbbVie was one of our two healthcare picks in the original article. The company combines many positives, including an above-average yield, a low valuation, and steady growth even during the pandemic. AbbVie's most recent quarterly results showcase its outstanding resilience during the current crisis: The company managed to grow its revenues across its portfolio, with Humira, Imbruvica, and its new drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq showing a strong performance.\nEven better, the company guided earnings above consensus, forecasting earnings per share of $12.40 for the current year. Relative to its share price of $103, this means that shares got even cheaper since our December article, they are now trading for just 8.3 times forward earnings. In short, there is nothing not to like, and I believe that 5.1%-yielding AbbVie is a strong buy.\n2. Bristol-Myers Squibb\nBristol-Myers is the other healthcare pick in our original list. Like AbbVie, its shares were very inexpensive in December, and like AbbVie, it has continued to deliver strong operational results. Its most recent quarterly update included a 39% revenue growth rate compared to the previous year's quarter. This was impacted by one-time items from the Celgene takeover, but even adjusted for that, revenue growth came in at a strong 10% year over year.\nLike AbbVie, Bristol-Myers has also increased its earnings per share guidance for 2021, now forecasting profits of ~$7.30 per share. Since shares are essentially flat since the beginning of the year, investors get an even better deal right now in terms of Bristol-Myers' valuation, which stands at 8.3 times net profits right now. Bristol-Myers is also one of the stocks Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B) has continued to add to in the most recent quarter, which indicates that this is indeed a strong pick for value investors.\n3. MPLX\nMPLX is a natural gas midstream player that offered a great income yield in December, at almost 13%. On top of that, shares were very inexpensive, trading at a distributable cash flow yield of almost 19%.\nLike many other energy-related names, MPLX has performed very well in Q1, delivering a performance of almost 20% in three months. Nevertheless, shares are not at all expensive, trading at a single-digitearningsmultiple - even though earnings are generally a lot lower than cash flows for pipeline companies due to non-cash depreciation charges. Management believes that the company will have ample surplus cash this year, even after making its hefty dividend payments.\nIts CEO stated that shares are undervalued and that the company will likely do buybacks this year, which is a major positive. This will not only be highly accretive thanks to the low valuation shares are trading at, but should also further support the price. Shares are a less outstanding buy compared to December (or earlier in 2020), but they still look very compelling, we believe. They also still offer a very attractive dividend yield of 11% at today's price.\n4. Enterprise Products\nLike MPLX, Enterprise Products has performed well so far this year, on the back of enthusiasm for energy-related names. Its profits and cash flows are not really tied to the price of oil, but the market still bid up shares in recent months. The same had been true in 2020 when shares were sold off in tandem with other energy names, even though Enterprise Products' cash flows were not really impacted by lower oil prices.\nShares are up by double-digits so far this year, but Enterprise Products' shares are not at all expensive. Considering that shares are trading at just around 7 times this year's distributable cash flows, while shares offer a dividend yield of 8.1%, makes us believe that this is still a strong pick for income investors. The fact that management has been buying back shares is another tailwind that could gain relevance as growth spending slows down, which should free up more money for buybacks going forward. We thus still like Enterprise Products as a high-quality midstream company at current prices.\n5. Prudential Financial\nThis insurer has had a very solid 2020 and seeks to generate even stronger profits this year. Shares are up by double-digits so far this year but do not look expensive. With current forecasts seeing the company earn about $11.50 per share this year, and even more next year, shares trade at a ~8 times forward earnings multiple right now. The company continues to reward shareholders handsomely, as Prudential has raised its dividend by 5% in February.\nAt current prices, the stock yields 5.1%, which is quite attractive in a low-yield world. Management plans to return a total of $10 billion to the company's owners through 2023, which equates to shareholder returns in the 10% range. Investors can thus count on more dividend increases down the road, coupled with some buybacks that will be quite accretive as long as shares continue to trade at an inexpensive valuation. Shares were a better buy in December, but they still look solid today.\n6. Citigroup\nCitigroup was the only bank on our list, and I mainly chose it over peers due to its below-average valuation and above-average dividend yield. 2021 has been great for bank stocks so far, due to an overall shift to value stocks, combined with rising interest spreads that are beneficial for banks' earnings.\nShares rose by double-digits so far this year, hitting a high of $76 about two weeks ago. At that price, shares were trading above tangible book value, which stands at $73.80 right now, which is why I sold part of my position in the mid-$70s. Nevertheless, I did not sell my entire stake, as I feel that shares could rise above that level at some point in 2021, even though they have pulled back a little for now.\nThe fact that banks are allowed to return more capital to their owners this year could become a catalyst for share price gains in 2021, as Citigroup will likely seek to increase its dividend and ramp up share repurchases. Trading marginally below tangible book value and at around 10 times this year's earnings, Citigroup is not at all expensive, although also not an absolute bargain any longer. I am moderately bullish, but wouldn't buy more at current valuations.\n7. Simon Property\nSimon Property is the leading mall player in the US, especially following the close of its acquisition of Taubman. The company had a harsh 2020, but its assets will, we believe, remain in use for a long time. High-quality malls in major metropolitan areas will not lose their value due to online shopping, as retail space can be used for more experimental retail, restaurants, bars, co-working spaces, hotels, and so on.\nThis was our thesis throughout 2020, which is why we were very bullish on the stock when it traded at ultra-low valuations last year. In 2021, shares have, so far, returned almost 30%, as the market is increasingly realizing that the pandemic was not the end for high-quality retail real estate such as the properties that Simon Property owns. Shares breached $120 earlier in March but have pulled back a little for now.\nTrading at ~11 times this year's FFO, Simon Property is not an absolute bargain stock any longer. I personally believe that shares will rise back towards pre-crisis levels of $150+ eventually, but that may take some time, and there is not necessarily massive upside left in 2021. I continue to hold my Simon Property position and am bullish with a long-term view, but the best time to add this stock wasin 2020 when it traded at double-digits.\n8. W. P. Carey\nUnlike Simon Property, W. P. Carey has not risen a lot this year. Instead, shares are down slightly, potentially due to the fact that real estate investors moved towards more cyclical picks in the sector for the reopening trade. W. P. Carey is a rock-solid, low-risk income stock that offers a yield of 6.0% right here and that trades at 15 times forward FFO. This is an above-average valuation compared to the other stocks in this list, but that seems justified based on the fact that W. P. Carey has always traded at higher valuations than most of these stocks.\nAs income investors can still not generate attractive yields from bonds, they will, I believe, eventually flock back towards low-risk REITs such as W. P. Carey or Realty Income (O), which could propel shares of these companies back to pre-crisis levels. In W. P. Carey's case, they traded at around $90 before the pandemic, which equates to a yield of around 4.5%. A recovery to that level does not seem unrealistic, I believe, which is why I continue to see W. P. Carey as a moderate-return, low-risk stock, which makes it attractive from a risk-to-reward perspective.\n9. AT&T\nAT&T remains a battleground stock, with bulls touting the undervaluation and potential in streaming, while bears focus on the high debt load. We do not see AT&T as an extremely-high-quality pick, but the company's shares offer a solid yield of almost 7% and current management seems to have the right focus. Plans to monetize non-core assets, including DirecTV, are great, and the company plans to deleverage meaningfully over the coming years. AT&T is not a high-growth company and will not turn into one, but the fact that the performance of HBO Max has beaten management's expectations is a positive for sure. At less than 10 times net profits, AT&T remains quite inexpensive and if management executes on its plans, shares could deliver quite solid returns over the coming years.\n10. Intel\nIntel is a somewhat weird stock - the company executes well and grows steadily, but its shares see big swings up and down depending on whether investors are focusing on positive news items or negative news items at the moment. So far this year, they seem to do the prior, as shares have risen by 25% in just three months. This can't be explained by the underlying operational performance, which has been solid but didn't include growth of 20%+. Instead, the market is currently liking Intel's stock based on recent news such as a new CEO and plans to invest heavily to grow production capacity.\nI think the best time to buy Intel's shares is when the market is focusing on the bad news, whereas one may want to lock in gains when shares are trading at the top end of the recent valuation range. At 13.5 times forward earnings, Intel's shares trade at a premium to the median earnings multiple they have traded at over the last couple of years, thus I wouldn't buy here. Instead, locking in gains in the high $60s seemed like an opportune choice. I wouldn't be too surprised if shares fell back towards the mid-$50s or lower at some point during this year.\nTakeaway\nOur picks for 2020 have done very well so far, easily beating the market and even purely value-focused ETFs. However, not all of these stocks are necessarily still a great buy. I personally wouldn't buy Intel now, as the stock has already delivered easily more than 20% this year, and is trading at the higher end of the recent valuation range. On the other hand, some of our picks, such as AbbVie or W. P. Carey, are still priced very favorably and may even be a better buy right now compared to the beginning of the year.\nWe welcome you to share your comments on the above stocks, as well as your picks for the remainder of 2021!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198898618,"gmtCreate":1620949753434,"gmtModify":1704350882074,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"In 5 years, meaning ~+10% a year.

It has already taken too long.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379148881,"gmtCreate":1618710066043,"gmtModify":1704714180187,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">$Pfizer(PFE)$</a>vaccine in demand due to issues at&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AZN\">$AstraZeneca PLC(AZN)$</a>&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">$Johnson &amp; Johnson(JNJ)$</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">$Pfizer(PFE)$</a>vaccine in demand due to issues at&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AZN\">$AstraZeneca PLC(AZN)$</a>&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">$Johnson &amp; Johnson(JNJ)$</a>","text":"$Pfizer(PFE)$vaccine in demand due to issues at $AstraZeneca PLC(AZN)$& $Johnson & Johnson(JNJ)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379148881","repostId":"2128857810","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2128857810","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":1618694414,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2128857810?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-18 05:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"UPDATE 1-Japanese PM, Pfizer CEO discuss delivery of additional vaccine doses in 2021 to Japan","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2128857810","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Adds Pfizer's confirmation of talks with Japan PM, background of COVID-19 in Japan)   By Kanishka S","content":"<html><body><p>(Adds Pfizer's confirmation of talks with Japan PM, background of COVID-19 in Japan)</p><p>   By Kanishka Singh</p><p>   April 17 (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga asked U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc    on Saturday to provide additional supplies of COVID-19 vaccine to Japan this year, Nikkei reported.</p><p>   Pfizer confirmed in an email that Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla met with Suga virtually to discuss vaccine supply on the last day of Suga's three-day visit to Washington.

Now, James Anderson, bull-market hero, has left behind a precarious legacy.</p><p>It’s been three months since Anderson, 63, retired from Baillie Gifford, the century-old Scottish money manager he transformed into anunlikely power-investorin global technology.Awkward timing, to say the least.</p><p>Before Cathie Wood and Ark Invest, before crypto and “stonks,” Anderson began transforming Baillie Gifford’s prosaically namedScottish Mortgage Investment Trust— founded in 1909 to finance rubber plantationsand later Baillie Gifford’s flagship product — into one of the world’s top performing funds of its kind for a decade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de33a4ac0cb06d99485b7ab765a660eb\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Baillie Gifford offices in EdinburghPhotographer: Robert Ormerod/Bloomberg</span></p><p>But the tech stock meltdown has left the firm bleeding assets this year, losing a staggering 100 billion pounds ($122 billion) by the end of June. What was already a tall task for the next generation of the firm’s stock-pickers — convincing investors they can follow in Anderson&#39;s footsteps — has added a new hurdle: making the case that they should.</p><p>Therecent market rallywill have helped, but changing course doesn’t appear to be an option. More than a dozen former and current employees and clients, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in recent weeks, depict a firm that fell under the spell of Anderson’s success. A company partner who held no formal management position for years ended up driving Baillie Gifford’s entire approach to markets.</p><p>What Anderson has left behind appears emblematic not only of this year’s market downturnbut also of the excesses that inflated a pandemic bubble in just about everything. Portfolio managers have been deployed to try to calm angsty clients.</p><p>The uneasy mood was evident in mid-June as Scottish Mortgage investors gathered in London to hear what Baillie Gifford had to say about the drastic reversal of fortune.</p><p>The crowd sat solemnly beneath dim chandeliers in a rented ballroom as Anderson’s successors, Tom Slater andLaurence Burns, called for patience, confident picks would pay off in the long run — that is, in 10 or even 20 years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e6c4ef2ec5ef9d84e364028616b8d6b\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market.Photographer: Rachel Jessen/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Some attendees wondered out loud if Slater and Burns could deliver by following their old boss’s playbook. One asked if it would take 20 more years to figure out if Anderson really was a genius stock-picker or merely someone who lucked out in a bull market.</p><p>“We are not sitting, looking into a crystal ball trying to predict what’s going to happen,” Slater said. “Wealth doesn’t come from predicting stuff but from a small number of exceptional companies.”</p><p>It’s been quite a comedown. From its Edinburgh headquarters 3,200 miles from Wall Street, Baillie Gifford emerged in the 2000s and 2010s as one of theworld’s top stock-pickers,marketing the Anderson mystique and attracting ordinary investors and major pension funds across the US and Britain.</p><p>Anderson set aside conventional investment metrics and staked his clients’ money on a relatively small number of risky, high-growth stocks. With a go-big-or-go-home ethos, he pressed portfolio managers to focus on sweeping, global themes, rather than investing geographically.</p><p>And so, Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market. For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk. (Douglas Brodie,a partner and portfolio manager for another Baillie Gifford team, initially drove the Tesla investment in the early 2010s, but Anderson got most of the credit — and themedia attention).</p><p>The results were extraordinary. From 2005 to its peak last year, Scottish Mortgage returned 2,240%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aed3cc980a5921dbc234e3de5954ce0c\" tg-width=\"647\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>But what goes up usually comes down — in this case, down hard. With high-orbit tech stocks hurtling back to earth, Scottish Mortgage has plummeted 32% this year as of Aug. 16, its assets dropping to 14 billion pounds. All Baillie Gifford funds tracked by Bloomberg have fallen from 1% to 40% this year. Overall assets under management stood at 231 billion poundsat the end of June, versus 336 billion pounds at the start of the year.</p><p>From Menlo Park to Shenzhen, Big Tech to startups, a pullback has followed a decade of giddy exuberance. SoftBank Group Corp.reporteda record 3.16 trillion yen ($23.4 billion) net loss on Aug. 8 after its Vision Fund, the world’s largest technology fund, got hammered.</p><p>Given the shifting landscape, the question is when, or maybe whether, Baillie Gifford can regain its footing and help reinforce the business of stock picking that’s been undermined in recent years by the popularity of cheaper, index-tracking funds.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51408b71487dde86a80f9fe0bb6e26b2\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"533\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>James Anderson at the Allen &amp; Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho in 2019.Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Indeed, other big name investors came unstuck after stellar returns. Bill Miller, the manager whose unprecedented record of beating the Standards &amp; Poor’s 500 Index made him aninvesting legend, couldn’t relive his past glories after a sharp turn in his fortunes.</p><p>More dramatic was Neil Woodford’sfall from grace in the UK. The star money manager mesmerized investors for years with his performance. But following a poor run, clients startedpulling their cash, leading to the suspension of his flagship fund in 2019.</p><p>Baillie Gifford is far more than one fund and has other strategies that don’t pursue the kind of returns that made Anderson a magnet for retail clients, who would flock to hear him speak at investor forums. But, over the time, the firm tilted toward his investing philosophy.</p><p>Anderson, now chairman of Swedish investment companyKinnevik AB, waves off his influence. In an email, he dismissed the idea that his bull-market success and celebrity status came to define Baillie Gifford.</p><p>“The influence was mostly because the high growth worked so well for a prolonged period and therefore — as is the way in finance — it attracted more attention and even imitation,” Anderson said of his sway over Baillie Gifford. “Maybe this always bothered me more than people realized.”</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba1d786496f986024d6afd7682880d8c\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.Photographer: Guillaume Souvant/AFP/Getty Images</span></p><p>But during a tenure spanning four decades, he shook off the firm’s staid reputation and fundamentally changed its DNA. At a time when low-cost index funds were upending the investment business, he pushed the partnership in the opposite direction: He challenged portfolio managers to set aside indexes and instead find companies that would solve big problems. In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.</p><p>When markets were going their way, Anderson and his acolytes could steamroll most doubters. Unabashedly contrarian and sometimes quick-tempered, he sniffed at what he viewed as groupthink by bean-counting CFAs. Let others worry about quarterly results and P/E ratios. Anderson wanted to spot the super trends that would shape the future.</p><p>People who questioned him or issued a negative report on one of his stock picks often found themselves on the losing side a heated argument, current and former employees say. Others learned to keep their mouths shut. To avoid office distractions, Anderson eventually stopped sharing his own research in Baillie Gifford’s library.</p><p>Before long, Anderson and his crew stopped attending weekly investment meetings, dismissing the gatherings as a venue of low-brow short-termism. Baillie Gifford later made the confabs optional before binning them altogether.</p><p>A scruffy, sometimes rumpled character with a professorial air — one former colleague recalls Anderson wearing an ink-stained shirt one day, another remembers his poorly knotted ties — Anderson came to be seen as the mad genius of Baillie Gifford. (In a telephone interview, Anderson conceded that he could be hot-tempered due to the stresses of the job.) His star rising, heenthralled everyday investors, scouted Silicon Valley and hung out with Jeff Bezos in Sun Valley.</p><p>Insiders say that with Anderson gone there’s more room for flexibility, but Baillie Gifford is in so deep it might be hard to go back. Wholly owned by its roughly 50 partners, the firm has staked its future on the belief that it can spot the next big thing. Then, the thinking goes, it can do what Anderson did: Get in early — and hold on for the ride.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/646aaeefad45f983569a04220448ece9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Before July’s bounce, the ride has mostly gone in one direction: down. Baillie Gifford is a top-three holder of Moderna (down 22% year to Aug. 16); Shopify Inc. (down 68%); and Spotify Technology SA (down 41%). It’s also a major holder of Illumia Inc. (down 33%) and Peloton Interactive Inc. (down 58%), among others.</p><p>Stock picks are only one problem. During the bull years, Anderson and his team also became go-to financiers for a range of tech startups. Flush with investor dollars, they seeded young businesses in hopes of reaping outsize returns once the companies went public.</p><p>Unlisted companies accounted forroughly a thirdof Scottish Mortgage’s holdings at the end of June, according to company documents. The fund got in on the bull-market rush over the fledgling air-taxi business, picking up stakes inLilium NVand Joby Aviation Inc. It also bought into crypto financial-services company Blockchain.com and Northvolt AB, a Swedish battery developer.</p><p>When or if many of those bets might pay off is anyone’s guess. One pick, biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks, went public last year, during the waning days of the craze over special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. Since then, the stock has fallen 53%.</p><p>And while Anderson was the first to invest in private companies at Baillie Gifford, even more conservative investment trusts run by the firm have exposure to the asset class, albeit at much lower levels.</p><p>Even Baillie Gifford insiders concede Anderson’s departure in April,telegraphedfor more than a year, came at a particularly fraught moment. The firm created a success story around Anderson and his investment philosophy and used that rosy narrative to market itself.</p><p>James Budden, global head of marketing, acknowledged — with some limits — Anderson’s long-standing role in shaping Baillie Gifford. “He was a strong influence, but this took 20 years to play out,” said Budden, the only person Baillie Gifford made available to speak on the record. “Scottish Mortgage didn’t immediately become what it is today. Yes, he did define a lot of the investment thinking.”</p><p>For better and worse, Anderson appears to have left a lasting mark. University graduates who join the firm’s training program no longer get schooled in financial statements as meticulously as they used to, people familiar with the matter said. People who’ve left recently say risk management could be improved.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2d6cd86d2fdae1087c8ed314fc12083\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk.Photographer: Toru Hanai/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Budden, the marketing chief, says trainees must still learn accounting but adds that success at Baillie Gifford takes vision, too. “We do have risk controls, though people think we don’t,” he said. “For us the biggest risk is finding the wrong companies and missing the big opportunities, but we also do proper risk analysis.”</p><p>For now, Baillie Gifford seems hostage to the markets. Aninvestment teamcalled Global Alpha, createdby former senior partner Charles Plowden in 2005 as a counterweight to Anderson’s go-big philosophy, has weathered the storm better than Scottish Mortgage by investing in more, less volatile stocks.</p><p>Global Alpha today manages 39 billion pounds, more than any other group in the firm. Yet, all the same, it still holds a crop of Anderson’s tech darlingslike Moderna and Tesla. The firm says any similarities between portfolios are unintentional and that each team does its own research.</p><p>All the same, the 170-person client services team has been reemphasizingthe investment philosophy Anderson helped to build. Their line: This, too, shall pass — and Baillie Gifford will go on to greater heights as its bets pay off over coming decades. In webinars, letters and phone calls, the team has urged investors not to panic.</p><p>The partnership keeps looking ahead.

Now, James Anderson, bull-market hero, has left behind a precarious legacy.It’s been three months since Anderson, 63, retired from Baillie Gifford, the century-old Scottish money manager he transformed into anunlikely power-investorin global technology.Awkward timing, to say the least.Before Cathie Wood and Ark Invest, before crypto and “stonks,” Anderson began transforming Baillie Gifford’s prosaically namedScottish Mortgage Investment Trust— founded in 1909 to finance rubber plantationsand later Baillie Gifford’s flagship product — into one of the world’s top performing funds of its kind for a decade.Baillie Gifford offices in EdinburghPhotographer: Robert Ormerod/BloombergBut the tech stock meltdown has left the firm bleeding assets this year, losing a staggering 100 billion pounds ($122 billion) by the end of June. What was already a tall task for the next generation of the firm’s stock-pickers — convincing investors they can follow in Anderson's footsteps — has added a new hurdle: making the case that they should.Therecent market rallywill have helped, but changing course doesn’t appear to be an option. More than a dozen former and current employees and clients, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in recent weeks, depict a firm that fell under the spell of Anderson’s success. A company partner who held no formal management position for years ended up driving Baillie Gifford’s entire approach to markets.What Anderson has left behind appears emblematic not only of this year’s market downturnbut also of the excesses that inflated a pandemic bubble in just about everything. Portfolio managers have been deployed to try to calm angsty clients.The uneasy mood was evident in mid-June as Scottish Mortgage investors gathered in London to hear what Baillie Gifford had to say about the drastic reversal of fortune.The crowd sat solemnly beneath dim chandeliers in a rented ballroom as Anderson’s successors, Tom Slater andLaurence Burns, called for patience, confident picks would pay off in the long run — that is, in 10 or even 20 years.Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market.Photographer: Rachel Jessen/BloombergSome attendees wondered out loud if Slater and Burns could deliver by following their old boss’s playbook. One asked if it would take 20 more years to figure out if Anderson really was a genius stock-picker or merely someone who lucked out in a bull market.“We are not sitting, looking into a crystal ball trying to predict what’s going to happen,” Slater said. “Wealth doesn’t come from predicting stuff but from a small number of exceptional companies.”It’s been quite a comedown. From its Edinburgh headquarters 3,200 miles from Wall Street, Baillie Gifford emerged in the 2000s and 2010s as one of theworld’s top stock-pickers,marketing the Anderson mystique and attracting ordinary investors and major pension funds across the US and Britain.Anderson set aside conventional investment metrics and staked his clients’ money on a relatively small number of risky, high-growth stocks. With a go-big-or-go-home ethos, he pressed portfolio managers to focus on sweeping, global themes, rather than investing geographically.And so, Baillie Gifford famously piled into Amazon, Tesla and others that would soon catch fire in the bull market. For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk. (Douglas Brodie,a partner and portfolio manager for another Baillie Gifford team, initially drove the Tesla investment in the early 2010s, but Anderson got most of the credit — and themedia attention).The results were extraordinary. From 2005 to its peak last year, Scottish Mortgage returned 2,240%.But what goes up usually comes down — in this case, down hard. With high-orbit tech stocks hurtling back to earth, Scottish Mortgage has plummeted 32% this year as of Aug. 16, its assets dropping to 14 billion pounds. All Baillie Gifford funds tracked by Bloomberg have fallen from 1% to 40% this year. Overall assets under management stood at 231 billion poundsat the end of June, versus 336 billion pounds at the start of the year.From Menlo Park to Shenzhen, Big Tech to startups, a pullback has followed a decade of giddy exuberance. SoftBank Group Corp.reporteda record 3.16 trillion yen ($23.4 billion) net loss on Aug. 8 after its Vision Fund, the world’s largest technology fund, got hammered.Given the shifting landscape, the question is when, or maybe whether, Baillie Gifford can regain its footing and help reinforce the business of stock picking that’s been undermined in recent years by the popularity of cheaper, index-tracking funds.James Anderson at the Allen & Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho in 2019.Photographer: Patrick T. Fallon/BloombergIndeed, other big name investors came unstuck after stellar returns. Bill Miller, the manager whose unprecedented record of beating the Standards & Poor’s 500 Index made him aninvesting legend, couldn’t relive his past glories after a sharp turn in his fortunes.More dramatic was Neil Woodford’sfall from grace in the UK. The star money manager mesmerized investors for years with his performance. But following a poor run, clients startedpulling their cash, leading to the suspension of his flagship fund in 2019.Baillie Gifford is far more than one fund and has other strategies that don’t pursue the kind of returns that made Anderson a magnet for retail clients, who would flock to hear him speak at investor forums. But, over the time, the firm tilted toward his investing philosophy.Anderson, now chairman of Swedish investment companyKinnevik AB, waves off his influence. In an email, he dismissed the idea that his bull-market success and celebrity status came to define Baillie Gifford.“The influence was mostly because the high growth worked so well for a prolonged period and therefore — as is the way in finance — it attracted more attention and even imitation,” Anderson said of his sway over Baillie Gifford. “Maybe this always bothered me more than people realized.”In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.Photographer: Guillaume Souvant/AFP/Getty ImagesBut during a tenure spanning four decades, he shook off the firm’s staid reputation and fundamentally changed its DNA. At a time when low-cost index funds were upending the investment business, he pushed the partnership in the opposite direction: He challenged portfolio managers to set aside indexes and instead find companies that would solve big problems. In addition to Amazon and Tesla, big-name scores included Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna Inc.When markets were going their way, Anderson and his acolytes could steamroll most doubters. Unabashedly contrarian and sometimes quick-tempered, he sniffed at what he viewed as groupthink by bean-counting CFAs. Let others worry about quarterly results and P/E ratios. Anderson wanted to spot the super trends that would shape the future.People who questioned him or issued a negative report on one of his stock picks often found themselves on the losing side a heated argument, current and former employees say. Others learned to keep their mouths shut. To avoid office distractions, Anderson eventually stopped sharing his own research in Baillie Gifford’s library.Before long, Anderson and his crew stopped attending weekly investment meetings, dismissing the gatherings as a venue of low-brow short-termism. Baillie Gifford later made the confabs optional before binning them altogether.A scruffy, sometimes rumpled character with a professorial air — one former colleague recalls Anderson wearing an ink-stained shirt one day, another remembers his poorly knotted ties — Anderson came to be seen as the mad genius of Baillie Gifford. (In a telephone interview, Anderson conceded that he could be hot-tempered due to the stresses of the job.) His star rising, heenthralled everyday investors, scouted Silicon Valley and hung out with Jeff Bezos in Sun Valley.Insiders say that with Anderson gone there’s more room for flexibility, but Baillie Gifford is in so deep it might be hard to go back. Wholly owned by its roughly 50 partners, the firm has staked its future on the belief that it can spot the next big thing. Then, the thinking goes, it can do what Anderson did: Get in early — and hold on for the ride.Before July’s bounce, the ride has mostly gone in one direction: down. Baillie Gifford is a top-three holder of Moderna (down 22% year to Aug. 16); Shopify Inc. (down 68%); and Spotify Technology SA (down 41%). It’s also a major holder of Illumia Inc. (down 33%) and Peloton Interactive Inc. (down 58%), among others.Stock picks are only one problem. During the bull years, Anderson and his team also became go-to financiers for a range of tech startups. Flush with investor dollars, they seeded young businesses in hopes of reaping outsize returns once the companies went public.Unlisted companies accounted forroughly a thirdof Scottish Mortgage’s holdings at the end of June, according to company documents. The fund got in on the bull-market rush over the fledgling air-taxi business, picking up stakes inLilium NVand Joby Aviation Inc. It also bought into crypto financial-services company Blockchain.com and Northvolt AB, a Swedish battery developer.When or if many of those bets might pay off is anyone’s guess. One pick, biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks, went public last year, during the waning days of the craze over special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. Since then, the stock has fallen 53%.And while Anderson was the first to invest in private companies at Baillie Gifford, even more conservative investment trusts run by the firm have exposure to the asset class, albeit at much lower levels.Even Baillie Gifford insiders concede Anderson’s departure in April,telegraphedfor more than a year, came at a particularly fraught moment. The firm created a success story around Anderson and his investment philosophy and used that rosy narrative to market itself.James Budden, global head of marketing, acknowledged — with some limits — Anderson’s long-standing role in shaping Baillie Gifford. “He was a strong influence, but this took 20 years to play out,” said Budden, the only person Baillie Gifford made available to speak on the record. “Scottish Mortgage didn’t immediately become what it is today. Yes, he did define a lot of the investment thinking.”For better and worse, Anderson appears to have left a lasting mark. University graduates who join the firm’s training program no longer get schooled in financial statements as meticulously as they used to, people familiar with the matter said. People who’ve left recently say risk management could be improved.For years, the only investor who owned more of Tesla was Elon Musk.Photographer: Toru Hanai/BloombergBudden, the marketing chief, says trainees must still learn accounting but adds that success at Baillie Gifford takes vision, too. “We do have risk controls, though people think we don’t,” he said. “For us the biggest risk is finding the wrong companies and missing the big opportunities, but we also do proper risk analysis.”For now, Baillie Gifford seems hostage to the markets. Aninvestment teamcalled Global Alpha, createdby former senior partner Charles Plowden in 2005 as a counterweight to Anderson’s go-big philosophy, has weathered the storm better than Scottish Mortgage by investing in more, less volatile stocks.Global Alpha today manages 39 billion pounds, more than any other group in the firm. Yet, all the same, it still holds a crop of Anderson’s tech darlingslike Moderna and Tesla. The firm says any similarities between portfolios are unintentional and that each team does its own research.All the same, the 170-person client services team has been reemphasizingthe investment philosophy Anderson helped to build. Their line: This, too, shall pass — and Baillie Gifford will go on to greater heights as its bets pay off over coming decades. In webinars, letters and phone calls, the team has urged investors not to panic.The partnership keeps looking ahead. It plans to hire more people and move to a new glass-paneled, seven-story headquarters being built in a new development in Edinburgh’s West End. At a recent company-wide meeting, two senior partners said Baillie Gifford would stick to its guns. It was, they said, business as usual.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":191,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106837018,"gmtCreate":1620100333334,"gmtModify":1704338655701,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg&nbsp;Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","listText":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg&nbsp;Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","text":"Sell only when the original reasons used to justify a buy no longer meet your criteria eg Valuations, Profitability, Yield, Growth.. etc","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106837018","repostId":"1140379495","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140379495","pubTimestamp":1620092540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1140379495?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-04 09:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Opinion: If you ‘sell in May,’ don’t go away","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140379495","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"There’s no point leaving money on the table if you’re willing to take a more active roleShould you d","content":"<p>There’s no point leaving money on the table if you’re willing to take a more active role</p><p>Should you dump all the stock market funds from your 401(k) and IRA on the first of May, go away, and come back again for Hallowe’en?</p><p>Definitely, says an old Wall Street adage.</p><p>Definitely not, say most financial advisers.</p><p>As for the evidence of history? It’s more ambiguous. If the numbers say anything, maybe it’s that “sell in May and go away” is only half right. Since 1900, someone who sold in May actually could have retired earlier and with more money—but only if they hung around and waited to buy their stocks back during the usual summer panic.</p><p>Obvious note: If you want an easy life, ignore all trading advice from the Wall Street crowd. Set some basic rules—asset allocation, clearly established sell signals and so on—and stick to them.</p><p>On the other hand, there’s no point leaving money on the table if you’re willing to take a more active role.</p><p>The Wall Street phrase “sell in May” dates back at least to the 1930s. Originally it seems to have started in Great Britain, where the rhyme went “sell in May, go away, and don’t come back till St Leger’s Day”—meaning a famous horse race that takes place in mid-September. The theory was that the stock market’s returns over the summer months are usually so dismal that there’s really no point being in the market.</p><p>The updated version of this adage calls it “the Hallowe’en Effect,” and stretches the hiatus from May 1 to October 31: A full six months.</p><p>It sounds like superstitious nonsense, but there is some remarkable evidence for it.One exhaustive academic studylooked at all the available stock market data from around the world going as far back as 1693 (coincidentally, the time of the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts—make of this what you will).</p><p>“In none of the 65 countries for which we have total returns and short term interest rates available—with the exception of Mauritius — can we reject a Sell in May effect,” report researchers Cherry Zhang and Ben Jacobsen. “Summer risk premiums are not only not significantly positive, they are in most cases not even marginally positive. In 45 countries the excess returns during summer have been negative, and in seven significantly so,” they write. In other words: Historically, all the stock market’s returns have come during the winter months. During the summer months, typically, the stock market’s returns haven’t been any better than the returns on keeping your money in the bank.</p><p>(Oh, unless you’re living in Mauritius.)</p><p>Smart money mavens have a number of pushbacks to all this. They’ll point out that this is somewhat random, and makes no logical sense. They’ll warn that likely gains don’t really compensate for the trading costs, the potential taxes (in a taxable account). And they’ll add that you risk missing out if the market rises.</p><p>Furthermore, they’ll say, once you and I get in the habit of getting into the market and then out of it again, most of us will simply mess it up. We’ll get back in too early, or too late, or not at all.</p><p>All reasonable points.</p><p>So the advice, “leave it alone,” is not wrong.</p><p>But…the mathematical criticism of “sell in May” is partly off-beam. That’s because critics assume we sell on May 1 and go away, and don’t come back until October 31.</p><p>I’ve looked through the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;DJIA,+0.70%&nbsp;going back to 1900 and something amazing leaps out.</p><p>Ignore where the market ends up on October 31. The real opportunity occurs at some point during the six month period.</p><p>There has<i>almost always</i>been a “summer selloff.” In 105 out of 120 years, or 88% of the time, the stock market has posted a decline at some stage in the six months after May 1.</p><p>So in almost 9 years out of 10, someone who sold their stock funds at the start of May was able to buy them back more cheaply during the next six months.</p><p>The average decline is 8%.

It’s more ambiguous. If the numbers say anything, maybe it’s that “sell in May and go away” is only half right. Since 1900, someone who sold in May actually could have retired earlier and with more money—but only if they hung around and waited to buy their stocks back during the usual summer panic.Obvious note: If you want an easy life, ignore all trading advice from the Wall Street crowd. Set some basic rules—asset allocation, clearly established sell signals and so on—and stick to them.On the other hand, there’s no point leaving money on the table if you’re willing to take a more active role.The Wall Street phrase “sell in May” dates back at least to the 1930s. Originally it seems to have started in Great Britain, where the rhyme went “sell in May, go away, and don’t come back till St Leger’s Day”—meaning a famous horse race that takes place in mid-September. The theory was that the stock market’s returns over the summer months are usually so dismal that there’s really no point being in the market.The updated version of this adage calls it “the Hallowe’en Effect,” and stretches the hiatus from May 1 to October 31: A full six months.It sounds like superstitious nonsense, but there is some remarkable evidence for it.One exhaustive academic studylooked at all the available stock market data from around the world going as far back as 1693 (coincidentally, the time of the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts—make of this what you will).“In none of the 65 countries for which we have total returns and short term interest rates available—with the exception of Mauritius — can we reject a Sell in May effect,” report researchers Cherry Zhang and Ben Jacobsen. “Summer risk premiums are not only not significantly positive, they are in most cases not even marginally positive. In 45 countries the excess returns during summer have been negative, and in seven significantly so,” they write. In other words: Historically, all the stock market’s returns have come during the winter months. During the summer months, typically, the stock market’s returns haven’t been any better than the returns on keeping your money in the bank.(Oh, unless you’re living in Mauritius.)Smart money mavens have a number of pushbacks to all this. They’ll point out that this is somewhat random, and makes no logical sense. They’ll warn that likely gains don’t really compensate for the trading costs, the potential taxes (in a taxable account). And they’ll add that you risk missing out if the market rises.Furthermore, they’ll say, once you and I get in the habit of getting into the market and then out of it again, most of us will simply mess it up. We’ll get back in too early, or too late, or not at all.All reasonable points.So the advice, “leave it alone,” is not wrong.But…the mathematical criticism of “sell in May” is partly off-beam. That’s because critics assume we sell on May 1 and go away, and don’t come back until October 31.I’ve looked through the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA,+0.70% going back to 1900 and something amazing leaps out.Ignore where the market ends up on October 31. The real opportunity occurs at some point during the six month period.There hasalmost alwaysbeen a “summer selloff.” In 105 out of 120 years, or 88% of the time, the stock market has posted a decline at some stage in the six months after May 1.So in almost 9 years out of 10, someone who sold their stock funds at the start of May was able to buy them back more cheaply during the next six months.The average decline is 8%. That’s measured from May through the bottom of the slump.In more than half of all years, the Dow Jones has fallen at least 5% during the summer lull, and in nearly one year out of three it has fallen by double digits.These, of course, included such greatest hits as 2008 (a crash of 37%), 2002 (28%), 1987 (24%), 1907 (32%), and, of course, our old friend the catastrophe of 1929-32.  Nearly all the terrible carnage of 1929-1932 took place during the summer months.Weird, but true.An average selloff of 8% is not small potatoes. Over 20 years, someone who timed such a move perfectly every time would earn a remarkable 400% return.If the stock market’s past is any guide to the future, the really clever move would be for us to sell our SPDR S&P 500 ETFSPY,+0.22%,Vanguard Total Stock Market Index FundVTSMX,+0.20%or similar this Monday…and then hang around for the sale. We’d buy back our stock fund back either on Hallowe’en, or when the market has fallen, say, 5%—whichever comes first.All the years we got a bargain would more than compensate for the few years when there wasn’t one.On the other hand, if the stock market’s past isn’t any guide to the future, then pretty much everything our financial adviser tells us is nonsense anyway.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"These articles r hot air or b s?","text":"These articles r hot air or b s?","html":"These articles r hot air or b s?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375359730,"gmtCreate":1619311217420,"gmtModify":1704722221010,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes, prices too high for retail investors with no access to fractional shares.","listText":"Yes, prices too high for retail investors with no access to fractional shares.","text":"Yes, prices too high for retail investors with no access to fractional shares.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375359730","repostId":"1166519043","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350313142,"gmtCreate":1616159729586,"gmtModify":1704791678232,"author":{"id":"3577229760496516","authorId":"3577229760496516","name":"木吉蒂","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89290f2c42589f1e42296c61dde71238","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Futures turning red","listText":"Futures turning red","text":"Futures turning red","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350313142","repostId":"1133275148","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133275148","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":1616159596,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1133275148?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-19 21:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Fed to let leverage exemption expire on March 31, will review rule","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133275148","media":"Reuters","summary":"WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve will let a temporary bank leverage rule ex","content":"<p>WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve will let a temporary bank leverage rule exemption expire on March 31, but it will review the rule due to concerns it is no longer functioning as intended as a result of the central bank's emergency pandemic monetary policy measures.</p>\n<p>To ease stress in the Treasury market sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and to encourage bank lending as American households and businesses were hurt by lockdowns, the Fed last April temporarily excluded U.S. Treasuries and central bank deposits from the \"supplementary leverage ratio.\"</p>\n<p>Friday's decision means banks will have to resume holding an extra layer of loss-absorbing capital against those assets.</p>\n<p>On Friday, Fed officials said they were confident that allowing the exemption to expire would not impair Treasury market liquidity or cause market disruption because the Treasury market had stabilized and big banks have high levels of capital.</p>\n<p>However, because of recent growth in the supply of central bank reserves and the issuance of Treasury securities, the Fed said it may need to review the calibration of the ratio \"to prevent strains from developing that could both constrain economic growth and undermine financial stability.\" (Reporting by Michelle Price)</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board.

And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth.

Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ...

I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores.

It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"</p><p>\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"</p><p>See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.</p><p>—</p><p>Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.</p><p>Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.</p><p>Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\">If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.—Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.—Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”—Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"—A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”—Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock.

We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery.
