Investors know that stocks are anything but cheap, so a good question to ask is what will the market reward for the rest of the year and 2022?</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin wrote in the firm's \"U.S. Weekly Kickstart\" note to clients July 9 that investors have \"started to reward companies with attractive margin profiles.\" By this, he means net margin, which is a company's net income divided by net revenue.</p>\n<p>Comparisons of net income margins may be most meaningful within industries, because some by their nature have low margins when measured this way. Kostin wrote: \"Our sector-neutral factor of stocks with the highest vs. lowest profit margins has also started to outperform.\"</p>\n<p>He and a team of Goldman Sachs analysts screened the S&amp;P 500 for stocks with \"above-average net interest margins, realized margin growth of 50+ bp [basis points] in 2020, and expected margin growth of 50+ bp in each of the next two years.\"</p>\n<p>This led to a group of 32 large-cap stocks in six sectors expected to increase net margins by a median of 201 basis points this year and another 105 basis points in 2022, after defying the odds with profit margin expansion of at least 50 basis points during the pandemic year of 2020.

Would it be hours, days, or weeks?</p>\n<p>It has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like&nbsp;Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and&nbsp;Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.</p>\n<p>The collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.</p>\n<p>That is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.</p>\n<p>While trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than&nbsp;Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.</p>\n<p>Even as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.</p>\n<p>A sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25a79e71371c165f9a3a5085931fc487\" tg-width=\"979\" tg-height=\"649\"></p>\n<p>“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to&nbsp;Barron’s.</p>\n<p>The meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.</p>\n<p>Meme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent&nbsp;Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/167386c6881a258922ad62caaf7a05f4\" tg-width=\"971\" tg-height=\"644\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e29e3041b91070252ab9063d1a11fa2\" tg-width=\"975\" tg-height=\"642\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9cc1c0bd6368721c0eca87e25719f16\" tg-width=\"964\" tg-height=\"641\"></p>\n<p>The most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.</p>\n<p>Under pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.</p>\n<p>These new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”</p>\n<p>To be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.</p>\n<p>But ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.</p>\n<p>“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.</p>\n<p>“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>Sosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.</p>\n<p>But Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/710e642d3b685b74f8c9dcaf46ef3e0b\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"643\"></p>\n<p>“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”</p>\n<p>The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.</p>\n<p>— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube</p>\n<p>It is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.</p>\n<p>Take Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming&nbsp;stock analysis on YouTube&nbsp;for seven hours a day.</p>\n<p>With 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.</p>\n<p>“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.</p>\n<p>Companies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.</p>\n<p>AMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.</p>\n<p>Forget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.</p>\n<p>Big investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.</p>\n<p>In the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.</p>\n<p>There can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.</p>\n<p>For now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.</p>\n<p>For retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.</p>\n<p>New investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.</p>\n<p>“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”</p>\n<p>Claire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”</p>\n<p>Just like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.</p>\n<p>The new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.</p>\n<p>The group action is not just for moral support.

Would it be hours, days, or weeks?\nIt has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.\nThe collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.\nThat is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.\nWhile trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.\nEven as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.\nA sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.\n\n“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to Barron’s.\nThe meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.\nMeme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.\n\nThe most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.\nUnder pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.\nThese new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”\nTo be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.\nBut ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.\n“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.\n“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.\nSosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.\nIndeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.\nBut Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.\n\n“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”\nThe swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.\n— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube\nIt is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.\nTake Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming stock analysis on YouTube for seven hours a day.\nWith 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.\n“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.\nCompanies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.\nAMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.\nForget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.\nBig investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.\nIn the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.\nThere can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.\nFor now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.\nFor retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.\nNew investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.\n“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”\nClaire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”\nJust like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.\nThe new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.\nThe group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.\nKeith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.\nMany short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.\nAs the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves.

Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels.

The big news driving shares higher is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Virgin to carry passengers into space.</p>\n<p>At the same time, SPCE stock has the attention of Reddit’s WallStreetBets trading community. In fact, it has become one of the most popular social media meme stocks in recent weeks. Virgin is not quite at the level of&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) in terms of social media buzz. However, Virgin is one of the 10 most mentioned tickers on WallStreetBets, according toSwaggy Stocks.</p>\n<p>If you’re a meme stock gambler, best of luck to you. I think you’ll have just as good a chance at day trading AMC stock for a profit as you would flipping SPCE stock or betting on red at the roulette table. If you are a long-term investor, both AMC and Virgin Galactic are grossly overvalued. However, SPCE stock has a much more compelling long-term bull thesis than AMC does.</p>\n<p><b>Why SPCE Stock Is Soaring</b></p>\n<p>On June 25, Virgin announced the&nbsp;FAA granted&nbsp;the company a commercial space-launch license.</p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, popular billionaire founder Richard Branson announced he would be on Virgin’s first manned flight on July 11. By doing so, Branson will beat&nbsp;<b>Amazon.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) founder Jeff Bezos in the billionairespace race. Bezos will be aboard Blue Origin’s first manned flight on July 20.</p>\n<p>There’s no question the recent headlines are overwhelmingly positive for the company’s brand and long-term outlook. However, Virgin Galactic is still years away from doing any meaningful business.</p>\n<p>Bank of America analyst Ronald Epstein is projecting $2 million in revenue from the company in 2021. By 2023, he is projecting Virgin Galactic’s revenue will grow to $115 million. For context, its market cap is now $10.8 billion. That valuation is slightly higher than&nbsp;<b>Dick’s Sporting Goods</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DKS</u></b>) at $9 billion. Bank of America is projecting $11.1 billion in revenue for Dick’s in 2023. That’s roughly 10 times more revenue than Virgin Galactic.</p>\n<p>I’m not suggesting that Virgin Galactic and Dick’s are even remotely comparable in terms of business model or growth outlook. I’m merely highlighting how tiny Virgin Galactic’s business is today and how tiny it will continue to be for at least several more years.</p>\n<p><b>Two Overvalued Stocks</b></p>\n<p>Once again, the FAA news is unequivocally good news for Virgin Galactic’s long-term outlook.</p>\n<p>“We continue to see Virgin Galactic as a beneficiary of the new commercial space race,” Epstein said following the FAA news.</p>\n<p>“However, we believe this premium is already priced into the stock and will dwindle as more commercial space companies go public.”</p>\n<p>In that same note, Epstein downgraded SPCE stock from “neutral” to “underperform.” He also set a $41 price target, well below the $49 it was trading on July 9.</p>\n<p>Like Virgin, AMC is also unprofitable. It’s also extremely overvalued based on current and projected earnings, sales and cash flow.</p>\n<p>But AMC also has an Everest-sized mountain of debt.

The big news driving shares higher is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Virgin to carry passengers into space.\nAt the same time, SPCE stock has the attention of Reddit’s WallStreetBets trading community. In fact, it has become one of the most popular social media meme stocks in recent weeks. Virgin is not quite at the level of AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) in terms of social media buzz. However, Virgin is one of the 10 most mentioned tickers on WallStreetBets, according toSwaggy Stocks.\nIf you’re a meme stock gambler, best of luck to you. I think you’ll have just as good a chance at day trading AMC stock for a profit as you would flipping SPCE stock or betting on red at the roulette table. If you are a long-term investor, both AMC and Virgin Galactic are grossly overvalued. However, SPCE stock has a much more compelling long-term bull thesis than AMC does.\nWhy SPCE Stock Is Soaring\nOn June 25, Virgin announced the FAA granted the company a commercial space-launch license.\nShortly thereafter, popular billionaire founder Richard Branson announced he would be on Virgin’s first manned flight on July 11. By doing so, Branson will beat Amazon.com(NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos in the billionairespace race. Bezos will be aboard Blue Origin’s first manned flight on July 20.\nThere’s no question the recent headlines are overwhelmingly positive for the company’s brand and long-term outlook. However, Virgin Galactic is still years away from doing any meaningful business.\nBank of America analyst Ronald Epstein is projecting $2 million in revenue from the company in 2021. By 2023, he is projecting Virgin Galactic’s revenue will grow to $115 million. For context, its market cap is now $10.8 billion. That valuation is slightly higher than Dick’s Sporting Goods(NYSE:DKS) at $9 billion. Bank of America is projecting $11.1 billion in revenue for Dick’s in 2023. That’s roughly 10 times more revenue than Virgin Galactic.\nI’m not suggesting that Virgin Galactic and Dick’s are even remotely comparable in terms of business model or growth outlook. I’m merely highlighting how tiny Virgin Galactic’s business is today and how tiny it will continue to be for at least several more years.\nTwo Overvalued Stocks\nOnce again, the FAA news is unequivocally good news for Virgin Galactic’s long-term outlook.\n“We continue to see Virgin Galactic as a beneficiary of the new commercial space race,” Epstein said following the FAA news.\n“However, we believe this premium is already priced into the stock and will dwindle as more commercial space companies go public.”\nIn that same note, Epstein downgraded SPCE stock from “neutral” to “underperform.” He also set a $41 price target, well below the $49 it was trading on July 9.\nLike Virgin, AMC is also unprofitable. It’s also extremely overvalued based on current and projected earnings, sales and cash flow.\nBut AMC also has an Everest-sized mountain of debt. And it has flooded the market with new shares of stock, diluting current shareholders in an attempt to stay solvent and avoid bankruptcy.\nHow to Play it\nWhile SPCE stock is up 177% since mid-May, AMC is up 300%. As I discussed, Virgin Galactic’s big move came on the heels of major positive headlines about the company’s long-term future. The major news about AMC in recent weeks has been that the company is selling millions more shares of stock and giving retail investors free popcorn.\nOh, and the company itself also took the time to include a warning to investors in an official filing.\n“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment,” AMC wrote.\nVirgin Galactic is an overvalued growth stock with a reasonable chance the company will eventually grow into its current valuation. Of course, that growth may take five years or longer to play out.\nAMC is the exact opposite. Movie theater ticket sales have been steadily shrinking for about two decades.  There’s a huge difference between making a high-risk bet on an early leader in a potentially massive growth market and making a high-risk bet on a leader in a market in secular decline.\nI’m not recommending long-term investors buy AMC or SPCE at this point. But if you’re going to choose one of the two meme stocks, the SPCE stock bull thesis makes a lot more sense.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":149726216,"gmtCreate":1625749912635,"gmtModify":1703747740786,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sad","listText":"Sad","text":"Sad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/149726216","repostId":"1111084527","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111084527","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625748249,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111084527?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-08 20:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rise to 373,000, as job growth slows","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111084527","media":"CNBC","summary":"Initial filings for unemployment insurance unexpectedly rose last week, a possible hint that the rapid job growth seen the first half of 2021 could face hurdles in the months ahead, the Labor Department reported Thursday.First-time jobless claims totaled 373,000 for the week ended July 3, compared with the 350,000 Dow Jones estimate.

In that same period, 748 unprofitable companies have done the same.\nWhat Does It Mean?While the total amount of funding that has been raised from these offerings is still relatively modest compared to the size of the overall market, Goepfert said the takeaway could be larger than a couple of stocks or a few billion dollars.\n“It's not about the amount of issuance; it's about a market environment that allows this to happen,” Goepfert recently said.\nStansberry Research lead editor Dan Ferris said he’s not surprised so many investors are willing to buy shares of money-losing companies like AMC and GameStop given their willingness to buy Dogecoin(CRYPTO: DOGE).\n“It's exactly what you would expect in a world where a crypto joke is now worth tens of billions of dollars. And it's exactly what you would expect in a world where stocks are priced to see average annual losses for a decade,” Ferrisrecently wrote.\nFormer hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson said last week that secondary offerings by unprofitable companies are simply “more signs of foolishness in the markets,” but the fools are certainly not the companies themselves.\n“To be clear, these money-losing companies are very smart to issue a lot of stock at high prices – it's the investors who are going to get burned,” Tilson wrote in hisdaily newsletter.\nBenzinga’s Take:AMC management can certainly say they’ve done everything they can to try to make sure investors understand the situation with its stock offerings, including adding the following warning to the company's most recent offering filing in early June:\n\n“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":157997844,"gmtCreate":1625559064288,"gmtModify":1703743686109,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow amazing stuff.

A second top stock that can make you a lot richer in the latter half of 2021 (and beyond) is precious-metal miner <b>SSR Mining</b> (NASDAQ:SSRM).</p>\n<p>Roughly 10 years ago, gold and silver were soaring and precious-metal miners were liberally spending on new projects, existing mine expansions, and acquisitions. After the price of gold peaked, many were left with less-than-stellar balance sheets. That's not been the case with SSR Mining.</p>\n<p>Last year, SSR completed a merger of equals with Turkey's Alacer Gold. This effectively combined SSR's Marigold and Seabee gold mines, and its silver-producing Puna operations in Argentina, with Alacer's Copler gold mine. Altogether, these four producing assets should yield between 700,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) and 800,000 GEO annually for the next five years, if not longer. Prior to the deal, SSR was producing a little north of 400,000 GEO annually.</p>\n<p>Here's the thing: Whereas most gold stocks have scrambled to pay down debt, SSR is sitting on a net cash balance of around $400 million, as of the end of March 2021. The roughly $450 million the company is expecting to generate in annual free cash flow has allowed it to begin paying a $0.05 quarterly dividend, as well as institute a $150 million share buyback program.</p>\n<p>In addition to improved output, a dividend, and a share buyback program, SSR Mining should benefit from stronger precious-metal prices. The Federal Reserve continues to hold off on raising historically low lending rates, while the prospect for longer-term inflation is climbing. Both scenarios point to investors continuing to flock to gold as a potential store of value.</p>\n<p>Just how cheap is SSR Mining? Shares can currently be purchased for less than 9 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings estimate. Even more telling, SSR is valued at a multiple of 5 times this year's estimated cash flow, which implies a significant discount to a fair valuation, which I'd peg as closer to 10 times cash flow.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de67cc325c8403c33a12cc0935dcf46f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A third company that can make investors richer in the second half of 2021 is marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF).</p>\n<p>There's no question that cannabis is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity. But considering the regulatory issues and atrocious balance sheets that accompany most Canadian pot stocks, the U.S. is the smart way to play the cannabis craze. By mid-decade, the U.S. could be bringing in more than $41 billion in annual weed sales, per <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data.</p>\n<p>What makes multistate operator (MSO) Trulieve so special is how the company has chosen to expand. Many large MSOs have opened retail, cultivation, and processing facilities in as many legalized states as reasonable. As for Trulieve, it has 91 operational retail locations in the U.S., 85 of which are located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. That's right -- it's opened 85 dispensaries in a single state.</p>\n<p>How's that worked out? By blanketing the Sunshine State, Trulieve Cannabis has been able to gobble up 53% of Florida's dried cannabis market share and 49% of its higher-margin cannabinoid oils share. In other words, the company has effectively built up its brand and a loyal customer following without having to break the bank with its marketing budget. As a result, it recently reported its 13th consecutive profitable quarter.</p>\n<p>In May, we learned that the next chapter for Trulieve will entail taking its blueprint to new markets. On May 10, it announced a $2.1 billion deal to acquire MSO <b>Harvest Health &amp; Recreation</b> (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest Health has a five-state focus, one of which includes Florida. Thus, Trulieve will soon have an even larger presence in the Sunshine State. But the big driver of this deal is Harvest's 15 operational dispensaries in Arizona, which legalized adult-use cannabis in November and began sales in January. Nothing would stop Trulieve from becoming a dominant force in Arizona's potential billion-dollar weed market.</p>\n<p>With its rich history of profitability and stunning growth potential, Trulieve Cannabis checks all the right boxes to be a moneymaker for investors.</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>3 Top Stocks That'll Make You Richer in the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)</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\">\n3 Top Stocks That'll Make You Richer in the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-06 11:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/05/3-top-stocks-make-you-richer-second-half-of-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If there's one lesson the stock market is always willing to teach, it's that patience pays off.

But what's next?","content":"<p>In late May, graphics chip-maker <b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) surprised shareholders with an announcement that it would execute a four-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> stock split. The stock split is finally almost here. Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 20.</p>\n<p>Ahead of the tech company's stock split, here's a close look at the upcoming split and NVIDIA's underlying business. As it turns out, the graphics chip specialist is firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<h2>The stock is soaring. But why?</h2>\n<p>Shares of NVIDIA have notably soared recently. The stock is up more than 30% since the tech company announced its stock split in May.</p>\n<p>Investors should note that a stock split doesn't actually make an investor's stake in a company more valuable. In addition, it doesn't increase the long-term prospects for the stock. All that happens when a stock splits is that every share a shareholder owns is adjusted relative to the designated share-split ratio.

The stock split is finally almost here. Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 20.\nAhead of the tech company's stock split, here's a close look at the upcoming split and NVIDIA's underlying business. As it turns out, the graphics chip specialist is firing on all cylinders.\nThe stock is soaring. But why?\nShares of NVIDIA have notably soared recently. The stock is up more than 30% since the tech company announced its stock split in May.\nInvestors should note that a stock split doesn't actually make an investor's stake in a company more valuable. In addition, it doesn't increase the long-term prospects for the stock. All that happens when a stock splits is that every share a shareholder owns is adjusted relative to the designated share-split ratio. In this case, NVIDIA investors will have four shares for every one share they previously owned. The total value of the four new shares, however, will be the same as what one share was worth at the moment of the split.\nWhile it's possible that NVIDIA's announcement of a stock split helped catalyze a rise in the company's stock price, such behavior isn't rational as there's no increase in the value of an investor's stake. The recent rise in the stock price, therefore, is likely primarily a result of the business's strong underlying momentum.\nSurging sales, profits\nA look at NVIDIA's impressive fiscal first-quarter results, which were released after the company announced its stock split, helps drive home why investors have been eagerly accumulating shares.\nFiscal first-quarter revenue soared 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. This was fueled by a more than doubling of gaming revenue, which rose to $2.76 billion, and a 79% year-over-year increase in data center revenue ($2.05 billion). Earnings per share soared 106% year over year to $3.03, and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose 103% year over year to $3.66. Analysts were expecting significantly lower revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.41 billion and $3.28, respectively.\nWhat to expect from here\nGoing forward, investors should be careful to keep their expectations in check. Though the stock's recent momentum certainly suggests there's a strong appetite for NVIDIA shares ahead of its stock split next month, this appreciation means investors have to pay up a higher price (and a higher valuation) to get into this growth story.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151740671,"gmtCreate":1625109222793,"gmtModify":1703736343456,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151740671","repostId":"1178516480","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178516480","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625094708,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178516480?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-01 07:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 notches fifth straight record closing high, fifth straight quarterly gain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178516480","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 nabbed its fifth straight record closing high on Wednesday as inves","content":"<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 nabbed its fifth straight record closing high on Wednesday as investors ended the month and the quarter by largely shrugging off positive economic data and looking toward Friday’s highly anticipated employment report.</p>\n<p>In the last session of 2021’s first half, the indexes were languid and range-bound, with the blue-chip Dow posting gains, while the Nasdaq edged lower.</p>\n<p>All three indexes posted their fifth consecutive quarterly gains, with the S&amp;P rising 8.2%, the Nasdaq advancing 9.5% and the Dow rising 4.6%.

It declined to 3.8 per cent, from 3.9 per cent in the preceding month.\nMeanwhile, unemployment among Singapore citizens also dropped to 4.0 per cent, from 4.1 per cent previously.\nThe overall unemployment rate fell to 2.8 per cent, from 2.9 per cent in April.\nAbout 88,600 residents were unemployed in May, including 79,000 citizens. This is down from the 92,100 unemployed residents, including 82,800 citizens, in April.\nSingapore's unemployment rates peaked in September last year and persisted through October, before falling steadily since November.\nThe downward trend of unemployment ratesis a good sign that the labour market is steadily improving, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng.\n\"However, we remain cautiously optimistic about the situation as we continue to see resurgence of the virus globally and have also yet to see the full impact of phase two (heightened alert) restrictions, which began in mid-May,\" said Dr Tan in a Facebook post on Thursday.\nHe added that the road to recovery may be a long one.\n\"As we restructure and rejuvenate our economy so that we can create good jobs, I urge businesses to tap on available support such as the Jobs Growth Incentive to expand local hiring, as well as existing schemes to innovate and transform their work processes,\" he said. \"At the same time, I want to encourage our jobseekers, who have continuously shown resilience and willingness to try out new roles and sectors during this difficult time.\"\nJobseekers who need help with their job search can approach Workforce Singapore and the National Trades Union Congress' Employment and Employability Institute.\nMOM and WSG will continue to work with the various economic agencies to create new opportunities and match workers to them, said Dr Tan. \"Together, we will press on, towards the road of recovery.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128538595,"gmtCreate":1624522816917,"gmtModify":1703839232482,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very

Crashes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145599620","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A lower price won't address these other risks.","content":"<p>Last week was a rough <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> for the markets -- their worst since October. And with talk of interest rate increases coming sooner than expected, investors are on edge with concerns about a possible stock-market crash. Of course, if a crash does happen, it could create opportunities to pick up solid stocks at reduced prices. But there are other stocks I'm not so sure about.</p>\n<p>Three stocks that I probably wouldn't buy even if the markets were to crash are&nbsp;<b>Ocugen&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:OCGN),&nbsp;<b>Tesla&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:TSLA), and&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a>&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SNOW). Although a lower price might make them more tenable investments, there's still sufficient risk in these stocks for me to pass on them.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1531106e22f32af06a047425395b675\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Ocugen</h3>\n<p>Retail investors have been excited about Ocugen's stock this year, but I don't share that enthusiasm. The business's hopes rest on Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is co-developing with India's Bharat Biotech. The companies' agreement stipulates that Ocugen will only share in the profits from sales in Canada and the U.S. -- and prospects for the latter market took a hit this month, when the company said it would no longer seek an emergency use approval for Covaxin from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instead, on the FDA's recommendation, it will seek a biologics license application that will take longer to obtain, possibly up to 10 months. Even if Covaxin wins approval, the vaccine may no longer be needed by then, with vaccination rates continuing to climb.</p>\n<p>With nothing else in its pipeline that has even made it to phase 2, Ocugen without Covaxin is back to being a high-risk biotech stock that may or may not someday have a product available to sell. And that brings tons of risk for investors. The company generated <i>no revenue</i> in the first three months of 2021, and that alone is a big enough reason to stay away from this healthcare stock. When you take away the meme hype, there isn't much reason or substance behind an investment in Ocugen.</p>\n<p>A market crash may bring down its price, but even if it were to fall to less than $1, Ocugen would still be a risky buy and not <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I'd be willing to take a chance on.</p>\n<h3>2. Tesla</h3>\n<p>Tesla isn't a bad business, and I get why people are fans of it. The electric-vehicle maker has significant potential as the demand rises for more environmentally friendly cars. And Tesla has come a long way in strengthening its financials. Once consistently in the red, it was profitable over the past 12 months -- and has even been included in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.The company has turned itself into a much more formidable investment.</p>\n<p>However, at 3%, its net margins are still razor-thin. The stock trades at more than 19 times revenue and a staggering 620 times its profits. The average holding in the&nbsp;<b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b> trades at multiples of just 2.9 times sales and 26 times earnings.&nbsp; As with Ocugen, retail investors have driven up the price of Tesla's stock to obscene levels, making it hard to buy shares of what otherwise could be a solid long-term investment.</p>\n<p>The other problem I have with Tesla is its potential exposure to <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO: BTC). CEO Elon Musk has been flip-flopping on whether his company will accept the cryptocurrency for payments on vehicles. If Musk decides that Tesla should do so, that exposes the company to a lot of risk. All currencies normally fluctuate somewhat, but Bitcoin's volatility could send a company's financials on a wild roller coaster ride.</p>\n<p>Musk has an impressive following,&nbsp;but his leadership style adds an element of risk to an already expensive and vulnerable stock. A crash in the markets would probably make Tesla's stock cheaper, but for me, it wouldn't be enough to offset the level of risk involved.</p>\n<h3>3. Snowflake</h3>\n<p>Of the three stocks on this list, Snowflake is the one I'd be most likely to buy. My biggest concerns with this business relate to its competitiveness and ability to turn a profit. Although sales have been increasing -- for the three months ending April 30, they more than doubled to $229 million from the prior-year period -- the company's losses have also doubled during that time.</p>\n<p>And competition for cloud-based data and analytics can be fierce.

And with talk of interest rate increases coming sooner than expected, investors are on edge with concerns about a possible stock-market crash. Of course, if a crash does happen, it could create opportunities to pick up solid stocks at reduced prices. But there are other stocks I'm not so sure about.\nThree stocks that I probably wouldn't buy even if the markets were to crash are Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). Although a lower price might make them more tenable investments, there's still sufficient risk in these stocks for me to pass on them.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Ocugen\nRetail investors have been excited about Ocugen's stock this year, but I don't share that enthusiasm. The business's hopes rest on Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is co-developing with India's Bharat Biotech. The companies' agreement stipulates that Ocugen will only share in the profits from sales in Canada and the U.S. -- and prospects for the latter market took a hit this month, when the company said it would no longer seek an emergency use approval for Covaxin from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instead, on the FDA's recommendation, it will seek a biologics license application that will take longer to obtain, possibly up to 10 months. Even if Covaxin wins approval, the vaccine may no longer be needed by then, with vaccination rates continuing to climb.\nWith nothing else in its pipeline that has even made it to phase 2, Ocugen without Covaxin is back to being a high-risk biotech stock that may or may not someday have a product available to sell. And that brings tons of risk for investors. The company generated no revenue in the first three months of 2021, and that alone is a big enough reason to stay away from this healthcare stock. When you take away the meme hype, there isn't much reason or substance behind an investment in Ocugen.\nA market crash may bring down its price, but even if it were to fall to less than $1, Ocugen would still be a risky buy and not one I'd be willing to take a chance on.\n2. Tesla\nTesla isn't a bad business, and I get why people are fans of it. The electric-vehicle maker has significant potential as the demand rises for more environmentally friendly cars. And Tesla has come a long way in strengthening its financials. Once consistently in the red, it was profitable over the past 12 months -- and has even been included in the S&P 500.The company has turned itself into a much more formidable investment.\nHowever, at 3%, its net margins are still razor-thin. The stock trades at more than 19 times revenue and a staggering 620 times its profits. The average holding in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust trades at multiples of just 2.9 times sales and 26 times earnings.  As with Ocugen, retail investors have driven up the price of Tesla's stock to obscene levels, making it hard to buy shares of what otherwise could be a solid long-term investment.\nThe other problem I have with Tesla is its potential exposure to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). CEO Elon Musk has been flip-flopping on whether his company will accept the cryptocurrency for payments on vehicles. If Musk decides that Tesla should do so, that exposes the company to a lot of risk. All currencies normally fluctuate somewhat, but Bitcoin's volatility could send a company's financials on a wild roller coaster ride.\nMusk has an impressive following, but his leadership style adds an element of risk to an already expensive and vulnerable stock. A crash in the markets would probably make Tesla's stock cheaper, but for me, it wouldn't be enough to offset the level of risk involved.\n3. Snowflake\nOf the three stocks on this list, Snowflake is the one I'd be most likely to buy. My biggest concerns with this business relate to its competitiveness and ability to turn a profit. Although sales have been increasing -- for the three months ending April 30, they more than doubled to $229 million from the prior-year period -- the company's losses have also doubled during that time.\nAnd competition for cloud-based data and analytics can be fierce. Companies such as Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Alphabet are some of the bigger names in the space -- and to complicate things, Snowflake also uses their services. For now, there appears to be enough room for all these major players to co-exist, but that still poses a risk to Snowflake's business. The lack of a sustainable competitive advantage, or moat, makes the stock particularly vulnerable should one of these larger companies try to expand and fight for more market share.\nThose risks make it hard to stomach the stock's whopping price-to-sales multiple, which sits at 90. Even with a significant correction in price, the lack of profitability and dependence on companies that could pose threats to Snowflake's long-term business would be enough of a reason for me to pass on the company and opt for more attractive growth opportunities instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165954264,"gmtCreate":1624089605258,"gmtModify":1703828663319,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that&nbsp;","listText":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that&nbsp;","text":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165954264","repostId":"1161408410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161408410","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624065771,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1161408410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Crime And Punishment: The Rise And Fall Of Crazy Eddie","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161408410","media":"benzinga","summary":"Wall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers,","content":"<p><i>Wall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers, brokers and financial ne’er-do-wells whose ambition and greed take them in the wrong direction.</i></p>\n<p>If you were living in the New York metropolitan area during the 1970s and 1980s, you probably remember the commercials for the Crazy Eddie electronics retail chain. They were impossible to miss:&nbsp;More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.</p>\n<p>Crazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.</p>\n<p>But the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,<b>Eddie Antar.</b></p>\n<p><b>An Audacious Start:</b>Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York,&nbsp;on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.</p>\n<p>By 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>At the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price&nbsp;all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.</p>\n<p>Some manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.</p>\n<p>The stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.</p>\n<p>But how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work&nbsp;enabled them to put their ethics on hold.</p>\n<p>“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”</p>\n<p>Sights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.</p>\n<p>Antar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>The co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.</p>\n<p><b>An Advertising Assault:</b>The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion —&nbsp;he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.</p>\n<p>Antar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”</p>\n<p>Rather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as&nbsp;his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.</p>\n<p>It was through the television commercials&nbsp;Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater —&nbsp;and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.</p>\n<p>Each commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.</p>\n<p>Carroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.</p>\n<p>He would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”</p>\n<p>There would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.</p>\n<p>A couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.</p>\n<p><b>Not So Funny:</b>After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.</p>\n<p>But as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.</p>\n<p>Antar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.</p>\n<p>“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.</p>\n<p>\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”</p>\n<p>Antar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.</p>\n<p>Eventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable:&nbsp;Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.</p>\n<p><b>Hello, Wall Street:</b>Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.</p>\n<p>Two years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.</p>\n<p>Why Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.</p>\n<p>The increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.</p>\n<p>Antar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down —&nbsp;and&nbsp;while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.</p>\n<p>The company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company. But when their auditors came in, they were flabbergasted to find grossly exaggerated inventories of up to $28 million, $20 million in phony debit memos to vendors and sales reports that were closer to fiction than accountancy.</p>\n<p>The chain went bankrupt in 1989 and was forced to shut down its retail network. Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.</p>\n<p>\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" said<b>Michael Chertoff</b>, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.</p>\n<p>By 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing. He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.</p>\n<p>Antar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.</p>\n<p>“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”</p>\n<p>In July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.</p>\n<p>Rather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.</p>\n<p><b>The Legend Lives On:</b>Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.</p>\n<p>Several attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.</p>\n<p>In June 2019,<b>Jon Turteltaub</b>, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.</p>\n<p>Many of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.</p>\n<p>Antar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.</p>\n<p>“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business.

At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.\nBut the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,Eddie Antar.\nAn Audacious Start:Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.\nBy 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.\nAt the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.\nSome manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.\nThe stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.\nBut how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work enabled them to put their ethics on hold.\n“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”\nSights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.\nAntar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.\nThe co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.\nAn Advertising Assault:The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion — he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.\nAntar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nRather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.\nIt was through the television commercials Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater — and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.\nEach commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.\nCarroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.\nHe would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nThere would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.\nA couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.\nNot So Funny:After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.\nBut as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.\nAntar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.\n“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.\n\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie — in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”\nAntar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.\nEventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable: Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.\nHello, Wall Street:Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.\nTwo years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.\nWhy Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.\nThe increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.\nAntar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down — and while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.\nThe company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company. But when their auditors came in, they were flabbergasted to find grossly exaggerated inventories of up to $28 million, $20 million in phony debit memos to vendors and sales reports that were closer to fiction than accountancy.\nThe chain went bankrupt in 1989 and was forced to shut down its retail network. Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.\n\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" saidMichael Chertoff, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.\nBy 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing. He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.\nAntar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.\n“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”\nIn July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.\nRather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.\nThe Legend Lives On:Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.\nSeveral attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.\nIn June 2019,Jon Turteltaub, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.\nMany of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.\nAntar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.\n“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business. I changed the whole business.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166874902,"gmtCreate":1624004345506,"gmtModify":1703826306304,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looks like a great buy&nbsp;","listText":"Looks like a great buy&nbsp;","text":"Looks like a great buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166874902","repostId":"1175693382","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175693382","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623978463,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175693382?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:07","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Stock: The Bottoming Process Looks To Be Forming Already","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175693382","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Alibaba is probably the most undervalued growth stock right now.The company’s multiple growth drivers within a rapidly expanding market made its valuations look even more baffling.The short term technical picture may be turning bullish with a potential double bottom price action signal.When we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Alibaba is probably the most undervalued growth stock right now.</li>\n <li>The company’s multiple growth drivers within a rapidly expanding market made its valuations look even more baffling.</li>\n <li>The short term technical picture may be turning bullish with a potential double bottom price action signal.</li>\n <li>We discuss the company’s multiple growth drivers and let investors judge for themselves.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05e63c77d4f3f3dc3d618e43044638bb\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Yongyuan Dai/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>The Technical Thesis</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7febf6ed056b0e3bc038321cdaad9b1c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"782\"><span>Source: TradingView</span></p>\n<p>Alibaba’s&nbsp;stock price has endured a terrible 8 months ever since its Ant Financial IPO was pulled in early Nov 20, with the stock languishing in the doldrums 34% off its high. When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eba49f5881708929949c30628eedc5d4\" tg-width=\"934\" tg-height=\"578\"><span>Annual GMV.

Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Even though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&amp;A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.</p>\n<p>One important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of&nbsp;823M AAC&nbsp;in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only&nbsp;100M AAC in Q2’C17&nbsp;as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b83b69b08b1f4b11a26393c8e6eead5\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market size of community group buying in China.

Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b97b2b4a8a182dc9846d8fb7e4039877\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"770\"><span>PDD profitability metrics &amp; revenue growth forecast.

More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aadc32155b4108426a1a982e3b5b1c2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>China public cloud spending.

However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06198c569504bc303c34563041dfb294\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Worldwide public cloud spending.

While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a087c4b3ef7efc2c5dde813e3b959d\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>NTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2605c0e5ad364a7a43929fef204595c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"687\"><span>EV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.\nBABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers\nAnnual GMV. Data source: Company filings\nAnnual e-commerce revenue. Data source: Company filings\nBABA’s GMV grew from 1.68T yuan to 7.49T yuan in just a matter of 7 years, which represented a CAGR of 23.8%, a truly amazing growth rate. We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.\nEven though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.\nE-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista\nWhen we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.\nPeers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEven though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.\nOne important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of 823M AAC in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only 100M AAC in Q2’C17 as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.\nTherefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.\nMarket size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research\nEven though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.\nPDD profitability metrics & revenue growth forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWe could observe from the above chart that PDD is expected to continue growing its revenue rapidly over the next few years, even though they are expected to normalize subsequently. More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.\nChina public cloud spending. Source:China Internet Watch; Canalys\nSize of China public cloud market. Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn\nBABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.\nWorldwide public cloud spending. Data source: Gartner\nWorldwide public cloud market share. Source:CnTechPost; Gartner\nTherefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.\nBABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling\nNTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.\nEV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.\nPeers EV / EBIT Valuations.

Hilton expanded outside of Texas into Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1939 and California, New York and Chicago in the 1940s.</p>\n<p>Today, the Hilton portfolio consists of 18 brands covering more than 6,500 properties in 119 countries and territories, making it the world’s second-largest hotel company.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/193b4a5ede24ed4d88328668239e9666\" tg-width=\"320\" tg-height=\"119\"></p>\n<p>The hospitality industry has been eager to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and Hilton is eager to welcome post-pandemic travelers.</p>\n<p>The company recently opened Spain’s Atocha Hotel Madrid as the first European property in the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand, and it announced deals with Shimao Group Holdings Ltd. to build four luxury hotels in China and with Signo Hospitality to develop 10 new hotels in Germany.</p>\n<p>Closer to home, Hilton and Resorts World Las Vegas are finishing work on three Hilton brand hotels that are part of a $4.3 billion, 3,500-room integrated resort scheduled to open in Las Vegas by the July 4 holiday weekend.</p>\n<p>In its Q1 earnings report, Hilton reported it approved 21,900 new rooms for development during the quarter, bringing its development pipeline to 399,000 rooms as of March 31. As of April 28, 97% of Hilton's system-wide hotels were open.</p>\n<p>However, Hilton’s financial performance during the quarter offered a reminder that the residue of the pandemic era has yet to be scraped away.</p>\n<p>Total first-quarter revenue was $874 million, down from $1.9 billion one year earlier, with the company reporting a net income loss of $109 million versus the $18 million profit from the previous year.</p>\n<p>Adjusted EBITDA was $198 million, down from $363 million one year earlier. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was -39 cents, compared to 6 cents one year earlier, and adjusted diluted EPS was 2 cents versus 74 cents in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p><b>Hilton President and CEO Christopher J. Nassetta</b>acknowledged rising coronavirus cases and tightened travel restrictions in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region worked against the company during January and February, there was “meaningful improvement in March and April” and there was an opportunity for a more vibrant post-pandemic near-future.</p>\n<p>“We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again,” Nassetta said. “We continue to grow our portfolio of hotels in exciting destinations throughout the world, giving our guests more options than ever before to make a Hilton hotel a part of their plans as travel resumes.”</p>\n<p>Hilton trades around $129.25, slightly below its 52-week high of $132.69 and far from its 52-week low of $69.83.</p>\n<p><b>The Case For Marriott:</b>In 1927, John and Alice Marriott opened a root beer stand in Washington, D.C.</p>\n<p>From that humble beginning, the company expanded into the hospitality industry through the Hot Shoppes Inc. restaurant chain, which they took public in 1953. The Marriotts opened their first lodging property in 1957 with the Twin Bridges Motor Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.</p>\n<p>Today, Marriott is the world’s largest hotel company, with a portfolio of more than 7,600 properties under 30 brands spanning 133 countries and territories.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0eb53fb2fd1ddc28ba54635ae9037f9f\" tg-width=\"320\" tg-height=\"102\"></p>\n<p>As with Hilton, Marriott is planning for the post-pandemic environment with a flurry of new properties. The Marriott brands have recently seen new hotels opening in South Korea, the Maldives, Dubai, Bermuda, Montreal, Maui and Philadelphia, while the company has signed an agreement with China’s Ningbo Central Plaza Construction and Development Co. Ltd to bring its Ritz-Carlton brand to Ningbo, a port city that has been taking on increased prominence.</p>\n<p>In February, Marriott experienced an emotional setback with the death of President and CEO&nbsp;<b>Arne Sorenson</b>&nbsp;at the age of 62 following a bout with pancreatic cancer.</p>\n<p>Sorenson, who held his offices since 2012, was only the third chief executive in the company’s history and the first who was not part of the founding Marriott family.</p>\n<p>Sorenson’s duties were divided between&nbsp;<b>Anthony Capuano,</b>who was promoted to CEO from group president of global development, design and operations services, and&nbsp;<b>Stephanie Linnartz,</b>who was promoted to president from group president of consumer operations, technology and emerging businesses.</p>\n<p>In one of his first interviews as CEO, Capuano told Yahoo Finance Live that the company was scrambling to hire new employees to meet the rising demand in hotel guests.</p>\n<p>\"We have had some labor challenges in those leisure destinations where we have seen demand spike so quickly,\" Capuano said. \"So, in South Florida, Texas, Arizona we are running job fairs and we are providing some one-time hiring incentives to get the hotels staffed.\"</p>\n<p>In its Q1 earnings report, Marriott said it added more than 23,500 rooms, including nearly 12,000 rooms.</p>\n<p>But Marriott shared Hilton’s situation in trying to move past the tumult created by the pandemic: it reported operating income totaled $84 million, down from $114 million one year earlier, and recorded an $11 million net loss compared to net income of $31 million in the previous year.</p>\n<p>Adjusted EBITDA totaled $296 million, compared to first-quarter 2020’s adjusted EBITDA of $442 million.

Just how long can the rally go on?\nIn January, it was GameStop(NY","content":"<p>AMC stock has been surging lately. Just how long can the rally go on?</p>\n<p>In January, it was&nbsp;<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>) leading the charge at the center of the Reddit rally. Now,<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) is the front man, this time leading the so-called meme stock rally.</p>\n<p>Investors are wondering how long this rally can last and whether it’s actually sustainable.</p>\n<p>I hate to stick my neck out in these types of scenarios. But generally the answer is no, these types of rallies do not tend to hold up over time. That said, there is nothing general about this situation, and we’re seeing an orchestrated effort to squeeze a handful of stocks higher. After all, GameStop has held up pretty well from its initial squeeze.</p>\n<p>Some find this price action entertaining. Others find it insulting. I just say, it is what it is. If you don’t want to participate in it, don’t. There are thousands of securities to trade on a daily basis and this affects about two dozen of them. If you are going to get involved, just keep your risk in focus, as the trading ranges are incredibly wide.</p>\n<p>For now, AMC remains the alpha dog in this current rally.</p>\n<p><b>Reddit Saves AMC</b></p>\n<p>2021 feels like a better year than 2020. There’s light at the end of the tunnel and we’re emerging from the novel coronavirus pandemic. Airport traffic is hitting new heights since the pandemic, while the U.S. has seen new cases plunge amid a strong vaccination push.</p>\n<p>But let’s not forget, we also<i>still</i>have hundreds of deaths a day occurring the U.S. due to Covid-19. Globally, we’ve now had&nbsp;more coronavirus deaths in 2021 vs. 2020.</p>\n<p>While things are clearly improving, particularly in the U.S., we haven’t gotten the full all-clear. Further, Q1 and the beginning of Q2 were a painful reality for businesses like AMC.</p>\n<p>But thanks to the Reddit short squeeze we saw earlier in the year, the company was able to raise a substantial amount of cash. In fact, it has now done so several times, allowing AMC to bolster its balance sheet.</p>\n<p>On Jan. 25, the company announced it raised or had commitments for $917 million. More than half of this was via equity, with the rest in various forms of debt.This would help AMC&nbsp;“make it through this dark coronavirus-impacted winter.”</p>\n<p>Then in May, AMC&nbsp;brought in $428 million&nbsp;after selling 43 million shares at just below $10. A few weeks later in June, Mudrick Capital agreed to buy 8.5 million shares for roughly $27 apiece,raising over $230 million. That capital will be used for “acquisition opportunities and investments in existing AMC theatres.”</p>\n<p>In all, the company&nbsp;raised about $1.2 billion this quarter.As President and CEO Adam Aron put it,“with our increased liquidity, an increasingly vaccinated population and the imminent release of blockbuster new movie titles, it is time for AMC to go on the offense again.”</p>\n<p><b>Can the Rally in AMC Last?</b></p>\n<p>Clearly AMC stock will survive. Or at least, it<i>should</i>survive. It’s got more than enough capital on hand to weather whatever remains of the Covid-19 storm and truthfully, management could decide to flood the market with even more supply of stock. A 10 million share secondary offering at $50 would raise half a billion dollars.</p>\n<p>With all the raising it did in Q2 with no ill impact on the stock price, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Aron &amp; Co. pull the trigger on another raise. In fact, I would applaud it after shares hit all-time highs at the beginning of the month.</p>\n<p>Does the company go after something like&nbsp;<b>Imax Corp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>IMAX</u></b>), with a market capitalization below $1.5 billion? Is that what Aron means by going on the offense?</p>\n<p>We’ll find out in the coming weeks and months, but I really think this company will be okay. That said, that doesn’t mean its stock is a good value. Trading in AMC stock is one thing. Investing in it is another.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect AMC to&nbsp;remain unprofitable in 2022. Further, estimates call for “just” $2.5 billion in sales this year as it still feels the impact of Covid-19. In 2022, estimates call for $4.8 billion in sales.

Just how long can the rally go on?\nIn January, it was GameStop(NYSE:GME) leading the charge at the center of the Reddit rally. Now,AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) is the front man, this time leading the so-called meme stock rally.\nInvestors are wondering how long this rally can last and whether it’s actually sustainable.\nI hate to stick my neck out in these types of scenarios. But generally the answer is no, these types of rallies do not tend to hold up over time. That said, there is nothing general about this situation, and we’re seeing an orchestrated effort to squeeze a handful of stocks higher. After all, GameStop has held up pretty well from its initial squeeze.\nSome find this price action entertaining. Others find it insulting. I just say, it is what it is. If you don’t want to participate in it, don’t. There are thousands of securities to trade on a daily basis and this affects about two dozen of them. If you are going to get involved, just keep your risk in focus, as the trading ranges are incredibly wide.\nFor now, AMC remains the alpha dog in this current rally.\nReddit Saves AMC\n2021 feels like a better year than 2020. There’s light at the end of the tunnel and we’re emerging from the novel coronavirus pandemic. Airport traffic is hitting new heights since the pandemic, while the U.S. has seen new cases plunge amid a strong vaccination push.\nBut let’s not forget, we alsostillhave hundreds of deaths a day occurring the U.S. due to Covid-19. Globally, we’ve now had more coronavirus deaths in 2021 vs. 2020.\nWhile things are clearly improving, particularly in the U.S., we haven’t gotten the full all-clear. Further, Q1 and the beginning of Q2 were a painful reality for businesses like AMC.\nBut thanks to the Reddit short squeeze we saw earlier in the year, the company was able to raise a substantial amount of cash. In fact, it has now done so several times, allowing AMC to bolster its balance sheet.\nOn Jan. 25, the company announced it raised or had commitments for $917 million. More than half of this was via equity, with the rest in various forms of debt.This would help AMC “make it through this dark coronavirus-impacted winter.”\nThen in May, AMC brought in $428 million after selling 43 million shares at just below $10. A few weeks later in June, Mudrick Capital agreed to buy 8.5 million shares for roughly $27 apiece,raising over $230 million. That capital will be used for “acquisition opportunities and investments in existing AMC theatres.”\nIn all, the company raised about $1.2 billion this quarter.As President and CEO Adam Aron put it,“with our increased liquidity, an increasingly vaccinated population and the imminent release of blockbuster new movie titles, it is time for AMC to go on the offense again.”\nCan the Rally in AMC Last?\nClearly AMC stock will survive. Or at least, itshouldsurvive. It’s got more than enough capital on hand to weather whatever remains of the Covid-19 storm and truthfully, management could decide to flood the market with even more supply of stock. A 10 million share secondary offering at $50 would raise half a billion dollars.\nWith all the raising it did in Q2 with no ill impact on the stock price, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Aron & Co. pull the trigger on another raise. In fact, I would applaud it after shares hit all-time highs at the beginning of the month.\nDoes the company go after something like Imax Corp(NYSE:IMAX), with a market capitalization below $1.5 billion? Is that what Aron means by going on the offense?\nWe’ll find out in the coming weeks and months, but I really think this company will be okay. That said, that doesn’t mean its stock is a good value. Trading in AMC stock is one thing. Investing in it is another.\nAnalysts expect AMC to remain unprofitable in 2022. Further, estimates call for “just” $2.5 billion in sales this year as it still feels the impact of Covid-19. In 2022, estimates call for $4.8 billion in sales. Round it up to $5 billion and we have a stock trading at six times 2022 revenue for a firm that never had sustained operating margins above 10%, a figure that was below 5% before Covid-19.\nBottom Line on AMC Stock\nI would really like to see the $35 level hold as support on a pullback. Below puts the 21-day moving average in play, then ~$20 — the prior 2021 high.\nAbove $50 and $60 is in play, followed by the 52-week high at $72.62. Above that and this baby could continue to fly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":173193120,"gmtCreate":1626627616360,"gmtModify":1703762452719,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/173193120","repostId":"2152368129","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":572,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":157997844,"gmtCreate":1625559064288,"gmtModify":1703743686109,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow amazing stuff.

This is growth and dominance investors can trust.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37d129c37c1dfcde03e04fddc2f9a834\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>SSR Mining</h2>\n<p>Don't worry, value investors, I haven't forgotten about you. A second top stock that can make you a lot richer in the latter half of 2021 (and beyond) is precious-metal miner <b>SSR Mining</b> (NASDAQ:SSRM).</p>\n<p>Roughly 10 years ago, gold and silver were soaring and precious-metal miners were liberally spending on new projects, existing mine expansions, and acquisitions. After the price of gold peaked, many were left with less-than-stellar balance sheets. That's not been the case with SSR Mining.</p>\n<p>Last year, SSR completed a merger of equals with Turkey's Alacer Gold. This effectively combined SSR's Marigold and Seabee gold mines, and its silver-producing Puna operations in Argentina, with Alacer's Copler gold mine. Altogether, these four producing assets should yield between 700,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) and 800,000 GEO annually for the next five years, if not longer. Prior to the deal, SSR was producing a little north of 400,000 GEO annually.</p>\n<p>Here's the thing: Whereas most gold stocks have scrambled to pay down debt, SSR is sitting on a net cash balance of around $400 million, as of the end of March 2021. The roughly $450 million the company is expecting to generate in annual free cash flow has allowed it to begin paying a $0.05 quarterly dividend, as well as institute a $150 million share buyback program.</p>\n<p>In addition to improved output, a dividend, and a share buyback program, SSR Mining should benefit from stronger precious-metal prices. The Federal Reserve continues to hold off on raising historically low lending rates, while the prospect for longer-term inflation is climbing. Both scenarios point to investors continuing to flock to gold as a potential store of value.</p>\n<p>Just how cheap is SSR Mining? Shares can currently be purchased for less than 9 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings estimate. Even more telling, SSR is valued at a multiple of 5 times this year's estimated cash flow, which implies a significant discount to a fair valuation, which I'd peg as closer to 10 times cash flow.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de67cc325c8403c33a12cc0935dcf46f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A third company that can make investors richer in the second half of 2021 is marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF).</p>\n<p>There's no question that cannabis is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity. But considering the regulatory issues and atrocious balance sheets that accompany most Canadian pot stocks, the U.S. is the smart way to play the cannabis craze. By mid-decade, the U.S. could be bringing in more than $41 billion in annual weed sales, per <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data.</p>\n<p>What makes multistate operator (MSO) Trulieve so special is how the company has chosen to expand. Many large MSOs have opened retail, cultivation, and processing facilities in as many legalized states as reasonable. As for Trulieve, it has 91 operational retail locations in the U.S., 85 of which are located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. That's right -- it's opened 85 dispensaries in a single state.</p>\n<p>How's that worked out? By blanketing the Sunshine State, Trulieve Cannabis has been able to gobble up 53% of Florida's dried cannabis market share and 49% of its higher-margin cannabinoid oils share. In other words, the company has effectively built up its brand and a loyal customer following without having to break the bank with its marketing budget. As a result, it recently reported its 13th consecutive profitable quarter.</p>\n<p>In May, we learned that the next chapter for Trulieve will entail taking its blueprint to new markets. On May 10, it announced a $2.1 billion deal to acquire MSO <b>Harvest Health &amp; Recreation</b> (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest Health has a five-state focus, one of which includes Florida. Thus, Trulieve will soon have an even larger presence in the Sunshine State. But the big driver of this deal is Harvest's 15 operational dispensaries in Arizona, which legalized adult-use cannabis in November and began sales in January. Nothing would stop Trulieve from becoming a dominant force in Arizona's potential billion-dollar weed market.</p>\n<p>With its rich history of profitability and stunning growth potential, Trulieve Cannabis checks all the right boxes to be a moneymaker for investors.</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>3 Top Stocks That'll Make You Richer in the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)</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\">\n3 Top Stocks That'll Make You Richer in the Second Half of 2021 (and Beyond)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-06 11:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/05/3-top-stocks-make-you-richer-second-half-of-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If there's one lesson the stock market is always willing to teach, it's that patience pays off.

This is growth and dominance investors can trust.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSSR Mining\nDon't worry, value investors, I haven't forgotten about you. A second top stock that can make you a lot richer in the latter half of 2021 (and beyond) is precious-metal miner SSR Mining (NASDAQ:SSRM).\nRoughly 10 years ago, gold and silver were soaring and precious-metal miners were liberally spending on new projects, existing mine expansions, and acquisitions. After the price of gold peaked, many were left with less-than-stellar balance sheets. That's not been the case with SSR Mining.\nLast year, SSR completed a merger of equals with Turkey's Alacer Gold. This effectively combined SSR's Marigold and Seabee gold mines, and its silver-producing Puna operations in Argentina, with Alacer's Copler gold mine. Altogether, these four producing assets should yield between 700,000 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) and 800,000 GEO annually for the next five years, if not longer. Prior to the deal, SSR was producing a little north of 400,000 GEO annually.\nHere's the thing: Whereas most gold stocks have scrambled to pay down debt, SSR is sitting on a net cash balance of around $400 million, as of the end of March 2021. The roughly $450 million the company is expecting to generate in annual free cash flow has allowed it to begin paying a $0.05 quarterly dividend, as well as institute a $150 million share buyback program.\nIn addition to improved output, a dividend, and a share buyback program, SSR Mining should benefit from stronger precious-metal prices. The Federal Reserve continues to hold off on raising historically low lending rates, while the prospect for longer-term inflation is climbing. Both scenarios point to investors continuing to flock to gold as a potential store of value.\nJust how cheap is SSR Mining? Shares can currently be purchased for less than 9 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings estimate. Even more telling, SSR is valued at a multiple of 5 times this year's estimated cash flow, which implies a significant discount to a fair valuation, which I'd peg as closer to 10 times cash flow.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTrulieve Cannabis\nA third company that can make investors richer in the second half of 2021 is marijuana stock Trulieve Cannabis (OTC:TCNNF).\nThere's no question that cannabis is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity. But considering the regulatory issues and atrocious balance sheets that accompany most Canadian pot stocks, the U.S. is the smart way to play the cannabis craze. By mid-decade, the U.S. could be bringing in more than $41 billion in annual weed sales, per New Frontier Data.\nWhat makes multistate operator (MSO) Trulieve so special is how the company has chosen to expand. Many large MSOs have opened retail, cultivation, and processing facilities in as many legalized states as reasonable. As for Trulieve, it has 91 operational retail locations in the U.S., 85 of which are located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. That's right -- it's opened 85 dispensaries in a single state.\nHow's that worked out? By blanketing the Sunshine State, Trulieve Cannabis has been able to gobble up 53% of Florida's dried cannabis market share and 49% of its higher-margin cannabinoid oils share. In other words, the company has effectively built up its brand and a loyal customer following without having to break the bank with its marketing budget. As a result, it recently reported its 13th consecutive profitable quarter.\nIn May, we learned that the next chapter for Trulieve will entail taking its blueprint to new markets. On May 10, it announced a $2.1 billion deal to acquire MSO Harvest Health & Recreation (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest Health has a five-state focus, one of which includes Florida. Thus, Trulieve will soon have an even larger presence in the Sunshine State. But the big driver of this deal is Harvest's 15 operational dispensaries in Arizona, which legalized adult-use cannabis in November and began sales in January. Nothing would stop Trulieve from becoming a dominant force in Arizona's potential billion-dollar weed market.\nWith its rich history of profitability and stunning growth potential, Trulieve Cannabis checks all the right boxes to be a moneymaker for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":516,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":178605504,"gmtCreate":1626806820108,"gmtModify":1703765557200,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Finally&nbsp;","listText":"Finally&nbsp;","text":"Finally","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/178605504","repostId":"2152657163","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152657163","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1626795120,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152657163?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-20 23:32","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"AMC to reopen two of the top-grossing movie theaters in Los Angeles","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152657163","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Cinema chain to take over leases for the Grove and the Americana from Pacific Theaters.\n\nAMC jumped ","content":"<blockquote>\n Cinema chain to take over leases for the Grove and the Americana from Pacific Theaters.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>AMC</b><b>&nbsp;jumped&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;9%&nbsp;in&nbsp;morning&nbsp;trading.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/39be46abc677a91e48d845a873557c43\" tg-width=\"824\" tg-height=\"609\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., the world's largest movie-theater chain, is reopening two of the top-grossing theaters in the Los Angeles area, which have been shuttered for more than a year.</p>\n<p>AMC <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a> said Monday it has reached a long-term lease agreement with privately held real-estate company Caruso, which owns the properties, for the 14-screen Grove Theatre in Los Angeles' Grove shopping center and the 18-screen Americana at Brand Theatre in nearby Glendale, Calif.</p>\n<p>The two theaters were previously run by Pacific Theatres, which announced in April that they, along with 15 other Pacific and ArcLight cinemas nationwide, including Hollywood's iconic Cinerama Dome, would not reopen.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eba49f5881708929949c30628eedc5d4\" tg-width=\"934\" tg-height=\"578\"><span>Annual GMV.

Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Even though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&amp;A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.</p>\n<p>One important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of&nbsp;823M AAC&nbsp;in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only&nbsp;100M AAC in Q2’C17&nbsp;as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b83b69b08b1f4b11a26393c8e6eead5\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market size of community group buying in China.

Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b97b2b4a8a182dc9846d8fb7e4039877\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"770\"><span>PDD profitability metrics &amp; revenue growth forecast.

More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aadc32155b4108426a1a982e3b5b1c2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>China public cloud spending.

Source:CnTechPost; Gartner</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a087c4b3ef7efc2c5dde813e3b959d\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>NTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2605c0e5ad364a7a43929fef204595c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"687\"><span>EV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.\nBABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers\nAnnual GMV. Data source: Company filings\nAnnual e-commerce revenue. Data source: Company filings\nBABA’s GMV grew from 1.68T yuan to 7.49T yuan in just a matter of 7 years, which represented a CAGR of 23.8%, a truly amazing growth rate. We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.\nEven though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.\nE-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista\nWhen we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.\nPeers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEven though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.\nOne important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of 823M AAC in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only 100M AAC in Q2’C17 as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.\nTherefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.\nMarket size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research\nEven though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.\nPDD profitability metrics & revenue growth forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWe could observe from the above chart that PDD is expected to continue growing its revenue rapidly over the next few years, even though they are expected to normalize subsequently. More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.\nChina public cloud spending. Source:China Internet Watch; Canalys\nSize of China public cloud market. Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn\nBABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate.

Data source: Gartner\nWorldwide public cloud market share. Source:CnTechPost; Gartner\nTherefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020.

Expectations are for year-over-year increases of 4.0% and 6.4%, respectively, in the core CPI and core PPI.\nInvestors and economists will also get a look at a pair of sentiment surveys this week: The National Federation of Independent Business’ Small Business Optimism Index for June on Tuesday and The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment index for July on Friday. The Federal Reserve releases its latest beige book on Wednesday, the Census Bureau reports retail-sales data for June on Friday, and theBank of Japanannounces its latest monetary-policy decision on Friday.\n\nMonday 7/12\nFedExhosts a conference call to update the investment community on its business outlook.\nTuesday 7/13\nJPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs Group kick off earnings season by reporting results before the market open.

In that same period, 748 unprofitable companies have done the same.\nWhat Does It Mean?While the total amount of funding that has been raised from these offerings is still relatively modest compared to the size of the overall market, Goepfert said the takeaway could be larger than a couple of stocks or a few billion dollars.\n“It's not about the amount of issuance; it's about a market environment that allows this to happen,” Goepfert recently said.\nStansberry Research lead editor Dan Ferris said he’s not surprised so many investors are willing to buy shares of money-losing companies like AMC and GameStop given their willingness to buy Dogecoin(CRYPTO: DOGE).\n“It's exactly what you would expect in a world where a crypto joke is now worth tens of billions of dollars. And it's exactly what you would expect in a world where stocks are priced to see average annual losses for a decade,” Ferrisrecently wrote.\nFormer hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson said last week that secondary offerings by unprofitable companies are simply “more signs of foolishness in the markets,” but the fools are certainly not the companies themselves.\n“To be clear, these money-losing companies are very smart to issue a lot of stock at high prices – it's the investors who are going to get burned,” Tilson wrote in hisdaily newsletter.\nBenzinga’s Take:AMC management can certainly say they’ve done everything they can to try to make sure investors understand the situation with its stock offerings, including adding the following warning to the company's most recent offering filing in early June:\n\n“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151740671,"gmtCreate":1625109222793,"gmtModify":1703736343456,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151740671","repostId":"1178516480","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178516480","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625094708,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178516480?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-01 07:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 notches fifth straight record closing high, fifth straight quarterly gain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178516480","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 nabbed its fifth straight record closing high on Wednesday as inves","content":"<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 nabbed its fifth straight record closing high on Wednesday as investors ended the month and the quarter by largely shrugging off positive economic data and looking toward Friday’s highly anticipated employment report.</p>\n<p>In the last session of 2021’s first half, the indexes were languid and range-bound, with the blue-chip Dow posting gains, while the Nasdaq edged lower.</p>\n<p>All three indexes posted their fifth consecutive quarterly gains, with the S&amp;P rising 8.2%, the Nasdaq advancing 9.5% and the Dow rising 4.6%.

The big news driving shares higher is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Virgin to carry passengers into space.</p>\n<p>At the same time, SPCE stock has the attention of Reddit’s WallStreetBets trading community. In fact, it has become one of the most popular social media meme stocks in recent weeks. Virgin is not quite at the level of&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) in terms of social media buzz. However, Virgin is one of the 10 most mentioned tickers on WallStreetBets, according toSwaggy Stocks.</p>\n<p>If you’re a meme stock gambler, best of luck to you. I think you’ll have just as good a chance at day trading AMC stock for a profit as you would flipping SPCE stock or betting on red at the roulette table. If you are a long-term investor, both AMC and Virgin Galactic are grossly overvalued. However, SPCE stock has a much more compelling long-term bull thesis than AMC does.</p>\n<p><b>Why SPCE Stock Is Soaring</b></p>\n<p>On June 25, Virgin announced the&nbsp;FAA granted&nbsp;the company a commercial space-launch license.</p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, popular billionaire founder Richard Branson announced he would be on Virgin’s first manned flight on July 11. By doing so, Branson will beat&nbsp;<b>Amazon.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) founder Jeff Bezos in the billionairespace race. Bezos will be aboard Blue Origin’s first manned flight on July 20.</p>\n<p>There’s no question the recent headlines are overwhelmingly positive for the company’s brand and long-term outlook. However, Virgin Galactic is still years away from doing any meaningful business.</p>\n<p>Bank of America analyst Ronald Epstein is projecting $2 million in revenue from the company in 2021. By 2023, he is projecting Virgin Galactic’s revenue will grow to $115 million. For context, its market cap is now $10.8 billion. That valuation is slightly higher than&nbsp;<b>Dick’s Sporting Goods</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DKS</u></b>) at $9 billion. Bank of America is projecting $11.1 billion in revenue for Dick’s in 2023. That’s roughly 10 times more revenue than Virgin Galactic.</p>\n<p>I’m not suggesting that Virgin Galactic and Dick’s are even remotely comparable in terms of business model or growth outlook. I’m merely highlighting how tiny Virgin Galactic’s business is today and how tiny it will continue to be for at least several more years.</p>\n<p><b>Two Overvalued Stocks</b></p>\n<p>Once again, the FAA news is unequivocally good news for Virgin Galactic’s long-term outlook.</p>\n<p>“We continue to see Virgin Galactic as a beneficiary of the new commercial space race,” Epstein said following the FAA news.</p>\n<p>“However, we believe this premium is already priced into the stock and will dwindle as more commercial space companies go public.”</p>\n<p>In that same note, Epstein downgraded SPCE stock from “neutral” to “underperform.” He also set a $41 price target, well below the $49 it was trading on July 9.</p>\n<p>Like Virgin, AMC is also unprofitable. It’s also extremely overvalued based on current and projected earnings, sales and cash flow.</p>\n<p>But AMC also has an Everest-sized mountain of debt. And it has flooded the market with new shares of stock, diluting current shareholders in an attempt to stay solvent and avoid bankruptcy.</p>\n<p><b>How to Play it</b></p>\n<p>While SPCE stock is up 177% since mid-May, AMC is up 300%. As I discussed, Virgin Galactic’s big move came on the heels of major positive headlines about the company’s long-term future. The major news about AMC in recent weeks has been that the company is selling millions more shares of stock and giving retail investors&nbsp;free popcorn.</p>\n<p>Oh, and the company itself also took the time to include&nbsp;a warning&nbsp;to investors in an official filing.</p>\n<p>“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment,” AMC wrote.</p>\n<p>Virgin Galactic is an overvalued growth stock with a reasonable chance the company will eventually grow into its current valuation.

The big news driving shares higher is that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Virgin to carry passengers into space.\nAt the same time, SPCE stock has the attention of Reddit’s WallStreetBets trading community. In fact, it has become one of the most popular social media meme stocks in recent weeks. Virgin is not quite at the level of AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) in terms of social media buzz. However, Virgin is one of the 10 most mentioned tickers on WallStreetBets, according toSwaggy Stocks.\nIf you’re a meme stock gambler, best of luck to you. I think you’ll have just as good a chance at day trading AMC stock for a profit as you would flipping SPCE stock or betting on red at the roulette table. If you are a long-term investor, both AMC and Virgin Galactic are grossly overvalued. However, SPCE stock has a much more compelling long-term bull thesis than AMC does.\nWhy SPCE Stock Is Soaring\nOn June 25, Virgin announced the FAA granted the company a commercial space-launch license.\nShortly thereafter, popular billionaire founder Richard Branson announced he would be on Virgin’s first manned flight on July 11. By doing so, Branson will beat Amazon.com(NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos in the billionairespace race. Bezos will be aboard Blue Origin’s first manned flight on July 20.\nThere’s no question the recent headlines are overwhelmingly positive for the company’s brand and long-term outlook. However, Virgin Galactic is still years away from doing any meaningful business.\nBank of America analyst Ronald Epstein is projecting $2 million in revenue from the company in 2021. By 2023, he is projecting Virgin Galactic’s revenue will grow to $115 million. For context, its market cap is now $10.8 billion. That valuation is slightly higher than Dick’s Sporting Goods(NYSE:DKS) at $9 billion. Bank of America is projecting $11.1 billion in revenue for Dick’s in 2023. That’s roughly 10 times more revenue than Virgin Galactic.\nI’m not suggesting that Virgin Galactic and Dick’s are even remotely comparable in terms of business model or growth outlook. I’m merely highlighting how tiny Virgin Galactic’s business is today and how tiny it will continue to be for at least several more years.\nTwo Overvalued Stocks\nOnce again, the FAA news is unequivocally good news for Virgin Galactic’s long-term outlook.\n“We continue to see Virgin Galactic as a beneficiary of the new commercial space race,” Epstein said following the FAA news.\n“However, we believe this premium is already priced into the stock and will dwindle as more commercial space companies go public.”\nIn that same note, Epstein downgraded SPCE stock from “neutral” to “underperform.” He also set a $41 price target, well below the $49 it was trading on July 9.\nLike Virgin, AMC is also unprofitable. It’s also extremely overvalued based on current and projected earnings, sales and cash flow.\nBut AMC also has an Everest-sized mountain of debt. And it has flooded the market with new shares of stock, diluting current shareholders in an attempt to stay solvent and avoid bankruptcy.\nHow to Play it\nWhile SPCE stock is up 177% since mid-May, AMC is up 300%. As I discussed, Virgin Galactic’s big move came on the heels of major positive headlines about the company’s long-term future. The major news about AMC in recent weeks has been that the company is selling millions more shares of stock and giving retail investors free popcorn.\nOh, and the company itself also took the time to include a warning to investors in an official filing.\n“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment,” AMC wrote.\nVirgin Galactic is an overvalued growth stock with a reasonable chance the company will eventually grow into its current valuation. Of course, that growth may take five years or longer to play out.\nAMC is the exact opposite. Movie theater ticket sales have been steadily shrinking for about two decades.  There’s a huge difference between making a high-risk bet on an early leader in a potentially massive growth market and making a high-risk bet on a leader in a market in secular decline.\nI’m not recommending long-term investors buy AMC or SPCE at this point. But if you’re going to choose one of the two meme stocks, the SPCE stock bull thesis makes a lot more sense.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165954264,"gmtCreate":1624089605258,"gmtModify":1703828663319,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that&nbsp;","listText":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that&nbsp;","text":"Wow interesting read.. did not know that","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165954264","repostId":"1161408410","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147635365,"gmtCreate":1626355652557,"gmtModify":1703758512037,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Finally!","listText":"Finally!","text":"Finally!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147635365","repostId":"2151546521","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151546521","kind":"highlight","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":1626353040,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151546521?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-15 20:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Lyft to resume shared rides in U.S. for first time since pandemic","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151546521","media":"Reuters","summary":"July 15 (Reuters) - Lyft Inc on Thursday said it will return the option for passengers to book share","content":"<p>July 15 (Reuters) - Lyft Inc on Thursday said it will return the option for passengers to book shared rides in select U.S. markets for the first time since the pandemic, when shared trips were scrapped to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus.</p>\n<p>Lyft said shared rides, which allow multiple passengers to split a car traveling in the same direction, would become available in Chicago, Philadelphia and Denver as of Monday.

Investors know that stocks are anything but cheap, so a good question to ask is what will the market reward for the rest of the year and 2022?</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin wrote in the firm's \"U.S. Weekly Kickstart\" note to clients July 9 that investors have \"started to reward companies with attractive margin profiles.\" By this, he means net margin, which is a company's net income divided by net revenue.</p>\n<p>Comparisons of net income margins may be most meaningful within industries, because some by their nature have low margins when measured this way. Kostin wrote: \"Our sector-neutral factor of stocks with the highest vs. lowest profit margins has also started to outperform.\"</p>\n<p>He and a team of Goldman Sachs analysts screened the S&amp;P 500 for stocks with \"above-average net interest margins, realized margin growth of 50+ bp [basis points] in 2020, and expected margin growth of 50+ bp in each of the next two years.\"</p>\n<p>This led to a group of 32 large-cap stocks in six sectors expected to increase net margins by a median of 201 basis points this year and another 105 basis points in 2022, after defying the odds with profit margin expansion of at least 50 basis points during the pandemic year of 2020.

Investors know that stocks are anything but cheap, so a good question to ask is what will the market reward for the rest of the year and 2022?\nGoldman Sachs analyst David Kostin wrote in the firm's \"U.S. Weekly Kickstart\" note to clients July 9 that investors have \"started to reward companies with attractive margin profiles.\" By this, he means net margin, which is a company's net income divided by net revenue.\nComparisons of net income margins may be most meaningful within industries, because some by their nature have low margins when measured this way. Kostin wrote: \"Our sector-neutral factor of stocks with the highest vs. lowest profit margins has also started to outperform.\"\nHe and a team of Goldman Sachs analysts screened the S&P 500 for stocks with \"above-average net interest margins, realized margin growth of 50+ bp [basis points] in 2020, and expected margin growth of 50+ bp in each of the next two years.\"\nThis led to a group of 32 large-cap stocks in six sectors expected to increase net margins by a median of 201 basis points this year and another 105 basis points in 2022, after defying the odds with profit margin expansion of at least 50 basis points during the pandemic year of 2020. The six sectors were communications services, consumer staples, health care, industrials, information technology and materials.\nStocks that made Goldman's list include Netflix Inc. $(NFLX)$, Broadcom Inc. $(AVGO)$ and Philip Morris International Inc. $(PM)$.\nBroad screen\nTo begin with a larger group of stocks and possibly produce a list with the most upside potential, we began with the S&P Composite 1500 Index , which is made up of the S&P 500, the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index $(MID)$ and the S&P Small Cap 600 Index . We then took an \"unfair\" approach of screening by net income margin regardless of sector or industry and favoring companies that sailed through 2020.\nAll the numbers in the screen are for calendar years -- not fiscal years, which for many companies don't match the calendar.\nHere's the screen:\nHere are the 20 stocks that made the screen with at least 20% upside implied by consensus price targets:\nSource: FactSet\n\n\n\nCompany\nEst. net margin -- 2022\nEst. net margin -- 2021\nNet margin -- 2020\nNet margin -- 2019\nShare \"buy\" ratings\nClosing price -- July 9\nCons. price target\nImplied 12-month upside potential\n\n\nBoston Beer Co.

Would it be hours, days, or weeks?</p>\n<p>It has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like&nbsp;Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and&nbsp;Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.</p>\n<p>The collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.</p>\n<p>That is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.</p>\n<p>While trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than&nbsp;Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.</p>\n<p>Even as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.</p>\n<p>A sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25a79e71371c165f9a3a5085931fc487\" tg-width=\"979\" tg-height=\"649\"></p>\n<p>“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to&nbsp;Barron’s.</p>\n<p>The meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.</p>\n<p>Meme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent&nbsp;Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/167386c6881a258922ad62caaf7a05f4\" tg-width=\"971\" tg-height=\"644\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e29e3041b91070252ab9063d1a11fa2\" tg-width=\"975\" tg-height=\"642\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9cc1c0bd6368721c0eca87e25719f16\" tg-width=\"964\" tg-height=\"641\"></p>\n<p>The most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.</p>\n<p>Under pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.</p>\n<p>These new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”</p>\n<p>To be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.</p>\n<p>But ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.</p>\n<p>“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.</p>\n<p>“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>Sosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.</p>\n<p>But Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/710e642d3b685b74f8c9dcaf46ef3e0b\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"643\"></p>\n<p>“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”</p>\n<p>The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.</p>\n<p>— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube</p>\n<p>It is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.</p>\n<p>Take Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming&nbsp;stock analysis on YouTube&nbsp;for seven hours a day.</p>\n<p>With 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.</p>\n<p>“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.</p>\n<p>Companies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.</p>\n<p>AMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.</p>\n<p>Forget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.</p>\n<p>Big investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.</p>\n<p>In the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.</p>\n<p>There can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.</p>\n<p>For now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.</p>\n<p>For retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.</p>\n<p>New investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.</p>\n<p>“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”</p>\n<p>Claire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”</p>\n<p>Just like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.</p>\n<p>The new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.</p>\n<p>The group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75d79c78a14cc8f297e17397cc54bdb5\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\"><span>Keith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.</span></p>\n<p>Many short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.</p>\n<p>As the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”</p>\n<p>To beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath &amp; Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.</p>\n<p>Distrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.</p>\n<p>Travis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.</p>\n<p>“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from&nbsp;Barron’s&nbsp;for comment.</p>\n<p>“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.</p>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.</p>\n<p>Regulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”</p>\n<p>Traditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money. But that would be a mistake.

Would it be hours, days, or weeks?\nIt has now been half a year, and the core “meme stocks” are still trading at levels considered outrageous by people who have studied them for years. New names like Clover Health Investments(CLOV) and Newegg Commerce(NEGG) have recently popped up on message boards, and their stocks have popped, too.\nThe collective efforts of millions of retail traders—long derided as “the dumb money”—have successfully held stocks aloft and forced naysayers to capitulate.\nThat is true even as the companies they are betting on have shown scant signs of transforming their businesses, or turning profits that might justify their valuations. BlackBerry burned cash in its latest quarter and warned that its key cybersecurity division would hit the low end of its revenue guidance; the stock dipped on the news but has still more than doubled in the past year.\nWhile trading volume at the big brokers has come down slightly from its February peak, it remains two to three times as high as it was before the pandemic. And a startling amount of that activity is occurring in stocks favored by retail traders. The average daily value of shares traded in AMC Entertainment Holdings(AMC), for example, reached $13.1 billion in June, more than Apple’s(AAPL) $9.5 billion and Amazon.com’s (AMZN) $10.3 billion.\nEven as the coronavirus fades in the U.S., most new traders say they are committed to the hobby they learned during lockdown—58% of day traders in a Betterment survey said they are planning to trade even more in the future, and only 12% plan to trade less. Amateur pandemic bakers have stopped kneading sourdough loaves; traders are only getting hungrier.\nA sustained bear market would spoil such an appetite, as it did when the dot-com bubble burst. For now, dips are reasons to hold or buy.\n\n“I’ve seen that the ‘buy the dip’ sentiment hasn’t relented for a moment,” wrote Brandon Luczek, an electronics technician for the U.S. Navy who trades with friends online, in an email to Barron’s.\nThe meme stock surge has been propelled by a rise in trading by retail investors. In 2020, online brokers signed clients at a record pace, with more than 10 million people opening new accounts. That record will almost certainly be broken in 2021. Brokers had already added more than 10 million accounts less than halfway into the year, some of the top firms have disclosed.\nMeme stocks are both the cart and the horse of this phenomenon. Their sudden price spikes are driven by new investors, and then that action drives even more new people to invest. Millions of people downloaded investing apps in late January and early February just to be a part of the fun. A recent Charles Schwab(SCHW) survey found that 15% of all current traders began investing after 2020.\n\nThe most prominent player in the surge is Robinhood, which said it had added 5.5 million funded accounts in the first quarter alone. But it isn’t alone. Fidelity, for instance, announced that it had attracted 1.6 million new customers under the age of 35 in the first quarter, 223% more than a year before.\nUnder pressure from Robinhood’s zero-commission model, all of the major brokers cut commissions to zero in 2019. That opened the floodgates to a new group of customers—one that may not have as much spare cash to trade but is more active and diverse than its predecessors. And the brokers are cashing in. Fidelity is hoping to attract investors before they even have driver’s licenses, allowing children as young as 13 to open trading accounts. Robinhood is riding the momentum to an initial public offering that analysts expect to value it at more than 10 times its revenue.\nThese new customers act differently than their older peers. For years, there was a “big gravitation toward ETFs,” says Chris Larkin, head of trading at E*Trade, which is now owned by Morgan Stanley (MS). But picking single stocks is clearly “the big story of 2021.”\nTo be sure, equity exchange-traded funds are still doing well, as investors around the world bet on the pandemic recovery and avoid weak bond yields.\nBut ETFs don’t light up the message boards like stocks do. Not that it has been a one-way ride for the top names. GameStop did dip in February, and Wall Street enjoyed a moment of schadenfreude. It didn’t last.\n“Like cicadas, meme traders returned in a wild blaze of activity after being seemingly underground for several months,” wrote Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Sosnick believes that the meme stocks tend to trade inversely to cryptocurrencies, because their fans rotate from one to the other as the momentum shifts.\n“I don’t think it’s strictly a coincidence that meme stocks roared back to life after a significant correction in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” he wrote.\nSosnick considers meme stocks a “sector unto themselves,” one that he segregates on his computer monitor away from other stock tickers.\nIndeed, Wall Street’s reaction to the meme stock revolution has been to isolate the parts of the market that the pros deem irrational. Most short sellers won’t touch the stocks, and analysts are dropping coverage.\nBut Wall Street can’t swat the retail army away like cicadas, or count on them disappearing for the next 17 years. Stock trading has permanently shifted. This year, retail activity accounts for 24% of equity volume, up from 15% in 2019. Adherents to the new creed are not passive observers willing to let Wall Street manage the markets.\n\n“What this really reflects is a reversal of the trends that we saw toward less and less engagement with individual companies,” says Joshua Mitts, a professor at Columbia Law School specializing in securities markets. “Technology is bringing the average investor closer to the companies in which he or she invests, and that’s just taking on new and unpredictable forms.”\nThe swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way.\n— Matt Kohrs, 26, who streams stock analysis daily on YouTube\nIt is now changing the lives of those who got in early and are still riding the names higher.\nTake Matt Kohrs, who had invested in AMC Entertainment early. He quit his job as a programmer in New York in February, moved to Philadelphia, and started streaming stock analysis on YouTube for seven hours a day.\nWith 350,000 YouTube followers, it’s paying the bills. With his earnings from ads and from the stock, Kohrs says he can pull down roughly the same salary he made before. But he also knows that relying on earnings from stocks like this is nothing like a 9-to-5 job.\n“The swings you get can definitely make you feel some sort of way,” he says.\nCompanies are starting to react more aggressively, too. They are either embracing their new owners or paying meme-ologists to understand the emoji-filled language of the new Wall Street so they can ward them off or appease them.\nAMC even canceled a proposed equity raise this past week because the company apparently didn’t like the vibes it was getting from the Reddit crowd. AMC has already quintupled its share count over the past year. CEO Adam Aron tweeted that he had seen “many yes, many no” reactions to his proposal to issue 25 million more shares, so it will be canceled instead of being presented for a vote at AMC’s annual meeting later this month. The company did not respond to a question on how it had polled shareholders.\nForget the boardroom. Corporate policy is now being determined in the chat room.\nBig investors are spending more time tracking social-media discussions about stocks. Bank of America found in a survey this year that about 25% of institutions had already been tracking social-media sentiment, but that about 40% are interested in using it going forward.\nIn the past few months, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan have all produced reports on how to trade around the retail action, coming to somewhat different conclusions.\nThere can be “alpha in the signal,” as Morgan Stanley put it, but it can take some intense number-crunching to get there. Not all message-board chatter leads to sustained price gains, of course, and retail order flow cannot easily be separated from institutional flow without substantial data analysis. For investors with the tools to pinpoint which stocks retail investors are buying and which they are selling, J.P. Morgan suggests going long on the 20% of stocks with the most buying interest and short on the top 20% in selling interest.\nFor now, many of the institutions buying data on social-media sentiment appear to be trying to reduce their risks, as opposed to scouting new opportunities, according to Boris Spiwak of alternative data firm Thinknum, which offers products that track social-media sentiment. “They see it as almost like an insurance policy, to limit their downside risks,” he says.\nFor retail traders, the method isn’t always scientific. The action is sustained by a community ethos. And the force behind it is as much emotional and moral as financial.\nNew investors say they are motivated by a desire to prove themselves and punish the old guard as much as by profits. They learn from one another about the market, sometimes amplifying or debunking conspiracy theories about Wall Street. Some link the meme-stock movement to continued mistrust of big financial institutions stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.\n“Wall Street brought our economy to its knees, and no one ever got in trouble for it,” says the 26-year-old Kohrs. “So, I think they view this as not only can we make money, but we can also make these hedge funds on Wall Street pay.”\nClaire Hirschberg is a 28-year-old union organizer who bought about $50 worth of GameStop stock on Robinhood in January after hearing about it from friends. She liked the idea, but what really got her excited about it was the reaction of her father, a longtime money manager. “He was so mad I had bought GameStop and was refusing to sell,” she says, laughing. “And that just makes me want to hold it forever.”\nJust like old Wall Street has rituals and codes, the new one does, too. A new investment banking employee learns quickly that you don’t wear a Ferragamo tie until after you make associate. You never leave the office until the managing director does, and you don’t complain about the hours. And the bad guys are the regulators and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and not in that order.\nThe new trading desk—the apps that millions of retail traders now use and the message boards where they congregate—have unspoken rules, too. Publicly acknowledging financial losses is a valiant act, evidence of internal fortitude and belief in the group. You don’t take yourself seriously and you don’t police language. You are part of an army of “apes” or “retards.” You hold through the crashes, even if it means you might lose everything. And the bad guys are the short sellers, the market makers, and the Wall Street elites, in that order.\nThe group action is not just for moral support. The trading strategy depends on people keeping up the buying pressure to force a short squeeze or to buy bullish options that trigger what’s known as a gamma squeeze.\nKeith Gill became the face of the Reddit army of retail traders pushing shares of GameStop higher when he appeared virtually before a House Financial Services Committee hearing in February.\nMany short sellers say they won’t touch these stocks anymore. But clearly, others aren’t taking that advice and are giving the meme movement oxygen by repeatedly betting against the stocks. AMC’s short interest was at 17% of the stock’s float in mid-June, down from 28% in January, but not by much.\nAs the price rises, the shorts can’t help themselves. They start “drooling, with flames coming out of their ears,” says Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who has covered GameStop for years. “What’s kind of shocked me is the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and over again and hoping for a different outcome each time, and the shorts keep coming back,” he says. “And [GameStop bull] Keith Gill and his Reddit raiders keep squeezing them, and it keeps working.”\nTo beat the short sellers, the Reddit crowd needs to hold together, but the community has been showing cracks at times. The two meme stocks with the most determined fan bases—GameStop and AMC—still have enormous armies of core believers who do not seem easily swayed. But other names seem to have more-fickle backers. Several stocks caught up in the meme madness have come crashing down to earth.Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY) spiked twice—in late January and early June—but now trades only slightly above its mid-January levels. People who bought during the upswings have lost money.\nDistrust has spread, and some traders worry that wallstreetbets— the original Reddit message board that inspired the GameStop frenzy—has grown so fast that it has lost its original spirit, and potentially grown vulnerable to manipulation. Some have moved to other message boards, like r/superstonk, in hopes of reclaiming the old community’s flavor.\nTravis Rehl, the founder of social-media tracking company Hype Equity, says that he tries to separate possible manipulators from more organic investor sentiment. Hype Equity is usually hired by public-relations firms representing companies that are being talked about online, he says. Now, he sees a growing trend of stocks that suddenly come up on message boards, receive positive chatter, and then disappear.\n“It’s called into question what is a true discussion versus what is something that somebody just wants to pump,” he says. The moderators of wallstreetbets forbid market manipulation on the platform, and Rehl say they appear to work hard to police misinformation. The moderators did not respond to a request from Barron’s for comment.\n“If you can create enough buzz to get a stock that goes up 10%, 20%, even 50% in a short period of time, there’s a tremendous incentive to do that,” Sosnick says.\nThe Securities and Exchange Commission is watching for funny business on the message boards. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and some members of Congress have discussed changing market rules with the intention of adding transparency protecting retail traders—although changes could also anger the retail crowd if they slow down trading or make it more expensive.\nRegulations aren’t the only thing that could deflate this trend. Dan Egan, vice president of behavioral finance and investing at fintech Betterment, thinks the momentum may run out of steam in September. Even “apes” have responsibilities. “Kids start going back to schools; parents are free to go to work again,” he says. “That’s the next time there’s going to be some oxygen pulled out of the room.”\nTraditional investors may be tempted to write off the entire phenomenon as temporary madness inspired by lockdowns and free government money. But that would be a mistake. If zero-commission brokerages and fun with GameStop broke down barriers for millions of new investors to open accounts, it’s almost certainly a good thing, as long as most people bet with money they don’t need immediately. Many new retail traders say they are teaching themselves how to trade, and have begun to diversify their holdings.\nIn one form or another, this is the future client base of Wall Street.\nArizona State University professor Hendrik Bessembinder published groundbreaking research in 2018 that found that “a randomly selected stock in a randomly selected month is more likely to lose money than make money.” In short, picking single stocks and holding a concentrated portfolio tends to be a losing strategy.\nEven so, he’s encouraged by the new wave of trading. “I welcome the increase in retail trading, the idea of the stock market being a place with wide participation,” Bessembinder says. “Economists can’t tell people they shouldn’t get some fun.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":532,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151749952,"gmtCreate":1625109267876,"gmtModify":1703736344269,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Should not have sold","listText":"Should not have sold","text":"Should not have sold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151749952","repostId":"2147818634","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2147818634","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1625106420,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147818634?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-01 10:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NVIDIA's Stock Split Is Almost Here: Here's What You Should Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147818634","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Shares have surged ahead of the stock split. But what's next?","content":"<p>In late May, graphics chip-maker <b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) surprised shareholders with an announcement that it would execute a four-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> stock split. The stock split is finally almost here. Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 20.</p>\n<p>Ahead of the tech company's stock split, here's a close look at the upcoming split and NVIDIA's underlying business. As it turns out, the graphics chip specialist is firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<h2>The stock is soaring. But why?</h2>\n<p>Shares of NVIDIA have notably soared recently. The stock is up more than 30% since the tech company announced its stock split in May.</p>\n<p>Investors should note that a stock split doesn't actually make an investor's stake in a company more valuable. In addition, it doesn't increase the long-term prospects for the stock. All that happens when a stock splits is that every share a shareholder owns is adjusted relative to the designated share-split ratio. In this case, NVIDIA investors will have four shares for every <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> share they previously owned. The total value of the four new shares, however, will be the same as what one share was worth at the moment of the split.</p>\n<p>While it's possible that NVIDIA's announcement of a stock split helped catalyze a rise in the company's stock price, such behavior isn't rational as there's no increase in the value of an investor's stake. The recent rise in the stock price, therefore, is likely primarily a result of the business's strong underlying momentum.</p>\n<h2>Surging sales, profits</h2>\n<p>A look at NVIDIA's impressive fiscal first-quarter results, which were released after the company announced its stock split, helps drive home why investors have been eagerly accumulating shares.</p>\n<p>Fiscal first-quarter revenue soared 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. This was fueled by a more than doubling of gaming revenue, which rose to $2.76 billion, and a 79% year-over-year increase in data center revenue ($2.05 billion).

The stock split is finally almost here. Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 20.\nAhead of the tech company's stock split, here's a close look at the upcoming split and NVIDIA's underlying business. As it turns out, the graphics chip specialist is firing on all cylinders.\nThe stock is soaring. But why?\nShares of NVIDIA have notably soared recently. The stock is up more than 30% since the tech company announced its stock split in May.\nInvestors should note that a stock split doesn't actually make an investor's stake in a company more valuable. In addition, it doesn't increase the long-term prospects for the stock. All that happens when a stock splits is that every share a shareholder owns is adjusted relative to the designated share-split ratio. In this case, NVIDIA investors will have four shares for every one share they previously owned. The total value of the four new shares, however, will be the same as what one share was worth at the moment of the split.\nWhile it's possible that NVIDIA's announcement of a stock split helped catalyze a rise in the company's stock price, such behavior isn't rational as there's no increase in the value of an investor's stake. The recent rise in the stock price, therefore, is likely primarily a result of the business's strong underlying momentum.\nSurging sales, profits\nA look at NVIDIA's impressive fiscal first-quarter results, which were released after the company announced its stock split, helps drive home why investors have been eagerly accumulating shares.\nFiscal first-quarter revenue soared 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. This was fueled by a more than doubling of gaming revenue, which rose to $2.76 billion, and a 79% year-over-year increase in data center revenue ($2.05 billion). Earnings per share soared 106% year over year to $3.03, and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose 103% year over year to $3.66. Analysts were expecting significantly lower revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.41 billion and $3.28, respectively.\nWhat to expect from here\nGoing forward, investors should be careful to keep their expectations in check. Though the stock's recent momentum certainly suggests there's a strong appetite for NVIDIA shares ahead of its stock split next month, this appreciation means investors have to pay up a higher price (and a higher valuation) to get into this growth story.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151757741,"gmtCreate":1625109199283,"gmtModify":1703736342641,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great news finally","listText":"Great news finally","text":"Great news finally","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151757741","repostId":"2148189849","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2148189849","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625108543,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2148189849?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-01 11:02","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore's resident unemployment rate falls for 7th straight month","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148189849","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"SINGAPORE - Singapore's labour market continued to recover in May, latest figures from the Ministry ","content":"<div>\n<p>SINGAPORE - Singapore's labour market continued to recover in May, latest figures from the Ministry of Manpower showed on Thursday (July 1).\nThe resident unemployment rate, which covers Singapore ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/jobs/spore-resident-unemployment-rate-falls-for-seventh-straight-month\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And with talk of interest rate increases coming sooner than expected, investors are on edge with concerns about a possible stock-market crash. Of course, if a crash does happen, it could create opportunities to pick up solid stocks at reduced prices. But there are other stocks I'm not so sure about.</p>\n<p>Three stocks that I probably wouldn't buy even if the markets were to crash are&nbsp;<b>Ocugen&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:OCGN),&nbsp;<b>Tesla&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:TSLA), and&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a>&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SNOW). Although a lower price might make them more tenable investments, there's still sufficient risk in these stocks for me to pass on them.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1531106e22f32af06a047425395b675\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Ocugen</h3>\n<p>Retail investors have been excited about Ocugen's stock this year, but I don't share that enthusiasm. The business's hopes rest on Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is co-developing with India's Bharat Biotech. The companies' agreement stipulates that Ocugen will only share in the profits from sales in Canada and the U.S. -- and prospects for the latter market took a hit this month, when the company said it would no longer seek an emergency use approval for Covaxin from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instead, on the FDA's recommendation, it will seek a biologics license application that will take longer to obtain, possibly up to 10 months. Even if Covaxin wins approval, the vaccine may no longer be needed by then, with vaccination rates continuing to climb.</p>\n<p>With nothing else in its pipeline that has even made it to phase 2, Ocugen without Covaxin is back to being a high-risk biotech stock that may or may not someday have a product available to sell. And that brings tons of risk for investors. The company generated <i>no revenue</i> in the first three months of 2021, and that alone is a big enough reason to stay away from this healthcare stock. When you take away the meme hype, there isn't much reason or substance behind an investment in Ocugen.</p>\n<p>A market crash may bring down its price, but even if it were to fall to less than $1, Ocugen would still be a risky buy and not <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I'd be willing to take a chance on.</p>\n<h3>2. Tesla</h3>\n<p>Tesla isn't a bad business, and I get why people are fans of it. The electric-vehicle maker has significant potential as the demand rises for more environmentally friendly cars. And Tesla has come a long way in strengthening its financials. Once consistently in the red, it was profitable over the past 12 months -- and has even been included in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.The company has turned itself into a much more formidable investment.</p>\n<p>However, at 3%, its net margins are still razor-thin. The stock trades at more than 19 times revenue and a staggering 620 times its profits. The average holding in the&nbsp;<b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b> trades at multiples of just 2.9 times sales and 26 times earnings.&nbsp; As with Ocugen, retail investors have driven up the price of Tesla's stock to obscene levels, making it hard to buy shares of what otherwise could be a solid long-term investment.</p>\n<p>The other problem I have with Tesla is its potential exposure to <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO: BTC). CEO Elon Musk has been flip-flopping on whether his company will accept the cryptocurrency for payments on vehicles. If Musk decides that Tesla should do so, that exposes the company to a lot of risk. All currencies normally fluctuate somewhat, but Bitcoin's volatility could send a company's financials on a wild roller coaster ride.</p>\n<p>Musk has an impressive following,&nbsp;but his leadership style adds an element of risk to an already expensive and vulnerable stock. A crash in the markets would probably make Tesla's stock cheaper, but for me, it wouldn't be enough to offset the level of risk involved.</p>\n<h3>3. Snowflake</h3>\n<p>Of the three stocks on this list, Snowflake is the one I'd be most likely to buy. My biggest concerns with this business relate to its competitiveness and ability to turn a profit. Although sales have been increasing -- for the three months ending April 30, they more than doubled to $229 million from the prior-year period -- the company's losses have also doubled during that time.</p>\n<p>And competition for cloud-based data and analytics can be fierce.

And with talk of interest rate increases coming sooner than expected, investors are on edge with concerns about a possible stock-market crash. Of course, if a crash does happen, it could create opportunities to pick up solid stocks at reduced prices. But there are other stocks I'm not so sure about.\nThree stocks that I probably wouldn't buy even if the markets were to crash are Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). Although a lower price might make them more tenable investments, there's still sufficient risk in these stocks for me to pass on them.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Ocugen\nRetail investors have been excited about Ocugen's stock this year, but I don't share that enthusiasm. The business's hopes rest on Covaxin, a coronavirus vaccine candidate it is co-developing with India's Bharat Biotech. The companies' agreement stipulates that Ocugen will only share in the profits from sales in Canada and the U.S. -- and prospects for the latter market took a hit this month, when the company said it would no longer seek an emergency use approval for Covaxin from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instead, on the FDA's recommendation, it will seek a biologics license application that will take longer to obtain, possibly up to 10 months. Even if Covaxin wins approval, the vaccine may no longer be needed by then, with vaccination rates continuing to climb.\nWith nothing else in its pipeline that has even made it to phase 2, Ocugen without Covaxin is back to being a high-risk biotech stock that may or may not someday have a product available to sell. And that brings tons of risk for investors. The company generated no revenue in the first three months of 2021, and that alone is a big enough reason to stay away from this healthcare stock. When you take away the meme hype, there isn't much reason or substance behind an investment in Ocugen.\nA market crash may bring down its price, but even if it were to fall to less than $1, Ocugen would still be a risky buy and not one I'd be willing to take a chance on.\n2. Tesla\nTesla isn't a bad business, and I get why people are fans of it. The electric-vehicle maker has significant potential as the demand rises for more environmentally friendly cars. And Tesla has come a long way in strengthening its financials. Once consistently in the red, it was profitable over the past 12 months -- and has even been included in the S&P 500.The company has turned itself into a much more formidable investment.\nHowever, at 3%, its net margins are still razor-thin. The stock trades at more than 19 times revenue and a staggering 620 times its profits. The average holding in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust trades at multiples of just 2.9 times sales and 26 times earnings.  As with Ocugen, retail investors have driven up the price of Tesla's stock to obscene levels, making it hard to buy shares of what otherwise could be a solid long-term investment.\nThe other problem I have with Tesla is its potential exposure to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). CEO Elon Musk has been flip-flopping on whether his company will accept the cryptocurrency for payments on vehicles. If Musk decides that Tesla should do so, that exposes the company to a lot of risk. All currencies normally fluctuate somewhat, but Bitcoin's volatility could send a company's financials on a wild roller coaster ride.\nMusk has an impressive following, but his leadership style adds an element of risk to an already expensive and vulnerable stock. A crash in the markets would probably make Tesla's stock cheaper, but for me, it wouldn't be enough to offset the level of risk involved.\n3. Snowflake\nOf the three stocks on this list, Snowflake is the one I'd be most likely to buy. My biggest concerns with this business relate to its competitiveness and ability to turn a profit. Although sales have been increasing -- for the three months ending April 30, they more than doubled to $229 million from the prior-year period -- the company's losses have also doubled during that time.\nAnd competition for cloud-based data and analytics can be fierce. Companies such as Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Alphabet are some of the bigger names in the space -- and to complicate things, Snowflake also uses their services. For now, there appears to be enough room for all these major players to co-exist, but that still poses a risk to Snowflake's business. The lack of a sustainable competitive advantage, or moat, makes the stock particularly vulnerable should one of these larger companies try to expand and fight for more market share.\nThose risks make it hard to stomach the stock's whopping price-to-sales multiple, which sits at 90. Even with a significant correction in price, the lack of profitability and dependence on companies that could pose threats to Snowflake's long-term business would be enough of a reason for me to pass on the company and opt for more attractive growth opportunities instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161911592,"gmtCreate":1623900166916,"gmtModify":1703823015901,"author":{"id":"3577490655979562","authorId":"3577490655979562","name":"Ronn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01315438398478d6a6ee536786f189dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577490655979562","authorIdStr":"3577490655979562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow interesting… did not know this at all&nbsp;","listText":"Wow interesting… did not know this at all&nbsp;","text":"Wow interesting… did not know this at all","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161911592","repostId":"1147973875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147973875","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1623898804,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147973875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stock Wars: Hilton Worldwide Vs.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was -39 cents, compared to 6 cents one year earlier, and adjusted diluted EPS was 2 cents versus 74 cents in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p><b>Hilton President and CEO Christopher J. Nassetta</b>acknowledged rising coronavirus cases and tightened travel restrictions in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region worked against the company during January and February, there was “meaningful improvement in March and April” and there was an opportunity for a more vibrant post-pandemic near-future.</p>\n<p>“We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again,” Nassetta said. “We continue to grow our portfolio of hotels in exciting destinations throughout the world, giving our guests more options than ever before to make a Hilton hotel a part of their plans as travel resumes.”</p>\n<p>Hilton trades around $129.25, slightly below its 52-week high of $132.69 and far from its 52-week low of $69.83.</p>\n<p><b>The Case For Marriott:</b>In 1927, John and Alice Marriott opened a root beer stand in Washington, D.C.</p>\n<p>From that humble beginning, the company expanded into the hospitality industry through the Hot Shoppes Inc. restaurant chain, which they took public in 1953. The Marriotts opened their first lodging property in 1957 with the Twin Bridges Motor Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.</p>\n<p>Today, Marriott is the world’s largest hotel company, with a portfolio of more than 7,600 properties under 30 brands spanning 133 countries and territories.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0eb53fb2fd1ddc28ba54635ae9037f9f\" tg-width=\"320\" tg-height=\"102\"></p>\n<p>As with Hilton, Marriott is planning for the post-pandemic environment with a flurry of new properties. The Marriott brands have recently seen new hotels opening in South Korea, the Maldives, Dubai, Bermuda, Montreal, Maui and Philadelphia, while the company has signed an agreement with China’s Ningbo Central Plaza Construction and Development Co. Ltd to bring its Ritz-Carlton brand to Ningbo, a port city that has been taking on increased prominence.</p>\n<p>In February, Marriott experienced an emotional setback with the death of President and CEO&nbsp;<b>Arne Sorenson</b>&nbsp;at the age of 62 following a bout with pancreatic cancer.</p>\n<p>Sorenson, who held his offices since 2012, was only the third chief executive in the company’s history and the first who was not part of the founding Marriott family.</p>\n<p>Sorenson’s duties were divided between&nbsp;<b>Anthony Capuano,</b>who was promoted to CEO from group president of global development, design and operations services, and&nbsp;<b>Stephanie Linnartz,</b>who was promoted to president from group president of consumer operations, technology and emerging businesses.</p>\n<p>In one of his first interviews as CEO, Capuano told Yahoo Finance Live that the company was scrambling to hire new employees to meet the rising demand in hotel guests.</p>\n<p>\"We have had some labor challenges in those leisure destinations where we have seen demand spike so quickly,\" Capuano said. \"So, in South Florida, Texas, Arizona we are running job fairs and we are providing some one-time hiring incentives to get the hotels staffed.\"</p>\n<p>In its Q1 earnings report, Marriott said it added more than 23,500 rooms, including nearly 12,000 rooms.</p>\n<p>But Marriott shared Hilton’s situation in trying to move past the tumult created by the pandemic: it reported operating income totaled $84 million, down from $114 million one year earlier, and recorded an $11 million net loss compared to net income of $31 million in the previous year.</p>\n<p>Adjusted EBITDA totaled $296 million, compared to first-quarter 2020’s adjusted EBITDA of $442 million. The quarter reported diluted loss per share totaled 3 cents, compared to the reported diluted EPS of 9 cents in the year-ago quarter. First-quarter adjusted diluted EPS totaled 10 cents, compared to first quarter 2020 adjusted diluted EPS of 49 cents.</p>\n<p>Capuano stressed Marriott’s fortunes were improving, noting how U.S. and Canadian occupancy grew from 33% in January to 49% in March while “occupancy reached 66% in mainland China in March, nearly the same as in March 2019.”</p>\n<p>He added the company was “welcoming more and more guests to our hotels as consumers are traveling again once they feel it is safe.”</p>\n<p>Marriott trades around $144, closer to its 52-week high of $159.98 than to its 52-week low of $80.26.</p>\n<p><b>The Verdict:</b>Despite the upheaval felt in the hospitality space as a result of the pandemic, both Hilton and Marriott stocks have maintained their respective strength.</p>\n<p>Both companies are ready and able to put the pandemic in the rearview mirror, and the partnerships they are striking in Europe and Asia show both companies believe their road to increased profits lies overseas.</p>\n<p>Barring an unforeseen surge in coronavirus infections or a global economic slump, both Hilton and Marriott are poised for a brighter future.</p>\n<p>Either company would be a solid portfolio presence for investors seeking long-haul growth.</p>\n<p>In this Stock War, we have to declare a draw.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Stock Wars: Hilton Worldwide Vs.

Hilton expanded outside of Texas into Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1939 and California, New York and Chicago in the 1940s.\nToday, the Hilton portfolio consists of 18 brands covering more than 6,500 properties in 119 countries and territories, making it the world’s second-largest hotel company.\n\nThe hospitality industry has been eager to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and Hilton is eager to welcome post-pandemic travelers.\nThe company recently opened Spain’s Atocha Hotel Madrid as the first European property in the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand, and it announced deals with Shimao Group Holdings Ltd. to build four luxury hotels in China and with Signo Hospitality to develop 10 new hotels in Germany.\nCloser to home, Hilton and Resorts World Las Vegas are finishing work on three Hilton brand hotels that are part of a $4.3 billion, 3,500-room integrated resort scheduled to open in Las Vegas by the July 4 holiday weekend.\nIn its Q1 earnings report, Hilton reported it approved 21,900 new rooms for development during the quarter, bringing its development pipeline to 399,000 rooms as of March 31. As of April 28, 97% of Hilton's system-wide hotels were open.\nHowever, Hilton’s financial performance during the quarter offered a reminder that the residue of the pandemic era has yet to be scraped away.\nTotal first-quarter revenue was $874 million, down from $1.9 billion one year earlier, with the company reporting a net income loss of $109 million versus the $18 million profit from the previous year.\nAdjusted EBITDA was $198 million, down from $363 million one year earlier. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was -39 cents, compared to 6 cents one year earlier, and adjusted diluted EPS was 2 cents versus 74 cents in the first quarter of 2020.\nHilton President and CEO Christopher J. Nassettaacknowledged rising coronavirus cases and tightened travel restrictions in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region worked against the company during January and February, there was “meaningful improvement in March and April” and there was an opportunity for a more vibrant post-pandemic near-future.\n“We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again,” Nassetta said. “We continue to grow our portfolio of hotels in exciting destinations throughout the world, giving our guests more options than ever before to make a Hilton hotel a part of their plans as travel resumes.”\nHilton trades around $129.25, slightly below its 52-week high of $132.69 and far from its 52-week low of $69.83.\nThe Case For Marriott:In 1927, John and Alice Marriott opened a root beer stand in Washington, D.C.\nFrom that humble beginning, the company expanded into the hospitality industry through the Hot Shoppes Inc. restaurant chain, which they took public in 1953. The Marriotts opened their first lodging property in 1957 with the Twin Bridges Motor Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.\nToday, Marriott is the world’s largest hotel company, with a portfolio of more than 7,600 properties under 30 brands spanning 133 countries and territories.\n\nAs with Hilton, Marriott is planning for the post-pandemic environment with a flurry of new properties.
