in the wake of the collapse of Credit Suisse (CS). There is clearly a lot of nervousness in themarket and it seems that no one is really sure what is driving the fears surrounding Deutsche Bank specifically.

As a result of this, I took steps to manage the risk in my position even though I remain bullish when it comes to DB stock.</p><p>In this article, however, I would like to focus on the fears surrounding itslarge derivative bookand why the concerns are way overblown in this instance.</p><h2>DB Derivative Book</h2><p>DB discloses the details of its derivative book.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48e2d20ca82ad02703bee454bbdb723f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"577\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>DB 2022 Annual Report</p><p>As you can see, the total notional derivative exposure of DB is a staggering EUR42 trillion. This is what some investors are concerned about, surely, DB is a snowflake away from a financial meltdown, right?</p><p>Well, not quite.</p><p>To start with the reported number is a notional amount of the derivative contract as opposed to actual exposure. This is best explained as an example.</p><p>Say one of DB&#39;s large corporate clients is requiring an interest rate swap (&#34;IRS&#34;) to protect themselves from rising interest rates on a $1 billion loan. The IRS terms reflect a swap of say LIBOR +100 basis points to a fixed rate of 6%. In such a scenario, DB would be purchasing an identical $1 billion IRS from another banking counterparty (say, JPMorgan).</p><p>So from DB&#39;s perspective, it likely earned a margin or fee on the transaction. It has no interest rate exposure or market risk either as it is fully hedged. However, for the purpose of calculating its gross derivative exposures (towards the 42 trillion figure), it would count as a $2 billion notional exposure.</p><p>This is the key reason why these notional derivatives exposures are so large. These are just notional contract figures and nowhere near the actual exposure. Furthermore, DB carefully manages its book which is mostly hedged for market risk (as well as counterparty risk).</p><p>On an overall portfolio basis, DB would not be 100% hedged of course. This could be due to other unrelated positions (for example, hedging its liquidity securities portfolio). As of 31st December, DB has total positive marks of EUR301 billion and total negative marks of EUR283 billion and therefore a total gain of ~EUR18 billion on its derivatives portfolio as of 31st December 2022.</p><p>Okay, so now we are clear that DB&#39;s market risk is predominantly hedged as described above - but what about counterparty default risk?</p><h2>Counterparty Default Risk</h2><p>The obvious next question is what happens if a large counterparty such as Credit Suisse or JPMorgan (JPM) defaults?</p><p>Firstly, it is important to note that any derivatives that are exchange-traded or cleared by a central party do not pose credit risks. However, as can be seen from above, most of DB&#39;s derivatives exposures are Over-The-Counter (&#34;OTC&#34;) derivatives and therefore exposed to counterparty default risk.</p><p>As such, the industry practice is to enter contracts based on master agreements for derivatives such asthe International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (&#34;ISDA&#34;) master agreement. The master agreement allows for close-out nettings of all rights and obligations with a counterparty upon the counterparty&#39;s default.</p><p>So as an example, if a counterparty (such as CS) defaults then all outstanding derivatives contracts with that counterparty are settled on a net basis on the default date. As such, banks like DB monitor specific counterparty risks daily and ensure that their total exposure (netting) to a particular counterparty is within predefined risk limits. This is a key reason why counterparties reduced their trading with CS prior to its being acquired by UBS (UBS) which contributed to its downfall.</p><p>Another common way for banks to reduce their counterparty risk is to enter into what is known as credit support annexes (CSAs) to master agreements. These are effectively a form of margin calls and require the counterparty to post collateral when there is an unrealized loss beyond a certain level.</p><p>The impact of nettings and collateral posted under ISDA is incorporated in the RWAs and capital allocated for counterparty risk across the bank as can be seen from the below disclosure in the 2022 annual report:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c88ac7b683292fe59f704f6e7e27fad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"191\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>DB 2022 Annual Report</p><p>So in summary, both market and counterparty risks arising from DB are well managed and an appropriate amount of capital is allocated for any residual risks.</p><h2>Final Thoughts</h2><p>Investors in banks are clearly very nervous given the crisis of confidence in the U.S. and European banking markets in recent weeks.

out.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863445980,"gmtCreate":1632420261740,"gmtModify":1676530778623,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hedgiesss

a packa","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Lawmakers clashed Wednesday over whether Microsoft Corp. would be included in a package of House antitrust bills aimed at big tech companies, even as the software giant’s valuation hovers around $2 trillion.</p>\n<p>Republicans questioned why the criteria for covered platforms in the legislation appeared tailored to exempt Microsoft. Republican Jim Jordan and other GOP lawmakers said they want to ensure the software giant doesn’t get special treatment.</p>\n<p>Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state initially said that while Microsoft exceeds the $600 billion market capitalization threshold laid out in four of the six bills before the Judiciary panel, another criterion about whether the Redmond, Washington-based company is considered a critical trading partner might let it off the hook.</p>\n<p>Jayapal said later in the hearing that she thinks Microsoft would count as a critical trading partner because of its cloud platform.</p>\n<p>“The assumption that Microsoft is not covered is incorrect,” Jayapal said after several lawmakers questioned why the definition in the bills appeared tailored to exclude Microsoft.</p>\n<p>A company has to meet all of the criteria in the four tech-focused bills to be covered, including that it have a market capitalization of at least $600 billion..</p>\n<p>‘Biggest Offenders’</p>\n<p>During the hearing, Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky challenged his colleagues on the committee to explain why Microsoft wouldn’t fall under the measures.</p>\n<p>“I’m trying to figure out why one of the biggest offenders, of Big Tech, has mysteriously avoided the scrutiny of this committee and this broad swath of bills that seek to radically rewrite our antitrust law,” Massie said, waving a draft of the bill that he said was shared with Microsoft before it was public. “I’m talking about Microsoft.”</p>\n<p>Democrat David Cicilline of Rhode Island, the chair of the antitrust subcommittee that drafted the bills, denied during the hearing that any company has been granted an exception. He said that the bill in question was based on previous legislation introduced in the Senate, so it wouldn’t have been hard to find draft text.</p>\n<p>“There are no exemptions in these bills,” Cicilline said. “No company is exempted, period.”</p>\n<p>A final determination about which companies would be covered by the bills will be made by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission, Cicilline said. “Each of these bills is broadly applicable to firms that meet the definition of a covered platform,” Cicilline said, without saying whether Microsoft would be among them.</p>\n<p>The bills before the Judiciary Committee came out of last year’s investigation of the allegedly anti-competitive practices of Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. Microsoft, which offers products including Windows, LinkedIn, Office and Teams, wasn’t a target of that investigation.</p>\n<p>The six bills are likely to be approved by the Judiciary Committee, but it’s unclear if they have enough support to pass the House. Their fate is even more uncertain in the Senate, where legislation needs at least 10 Republicans to pass, making it difficult for them to become law as written.</p>\n<p>A proposed amendment offered by Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, to narrow the definition of “online platform” for the four tech-focused bills to “mobile operating system,” was undone by another amendment to strike the word “mobile.”</p>\n<p>The draft of the bill Massie displayed during the hearing, which was reviewed by Bloomberg News, didn’t mention operating systems at all in that definition. A Microsoft spokesman said the company didn’t request the change.</p>\n<p>Asked during a break earlier in the hearing whether Microsoft -- which built its success through its Windows operating system for computers -- would be in scope of the bills, Nadler said he “would think so.”</p>\n<p>Antitrust Scrutiny</p>\n<p>Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, earlier this week objected to what he saw as special treatment of Microsoft in the bipartisan House bills. He sent a scathing letter to Microsoft President Brad Smith on Monday, saying “Democrats have excluded Microsoft from antitrust scrutiny,” and demanded a clear answer to whether the company believes it would fall under the House proposals.</p>\n<p>“That’s what we have here. Bills that supposedly go after Big Tech, being written by Big Tech,” Jordan said during Wednesday’s hearing.</p>\n<p>Last week, Smith said in a Bloomberg TV interview that “there are aspects of the legislation that was introduced in the house last week that absolutely applies to Microsoft and many other companies.” That, however, could have referred to the two bills before the committee that offer modest measures to support antitrust enforcers and aren’t focused on the tech industry.</p>\n<p>Smith went on to say that he sees U.S. antitrust action focusing on services that aren’t Microsoft’s core business.</p>\n<p>“I think in many ways where this is going is a particular focus on technology platforms that serve as gatekeepers,” Smith said. “In other words, they not only serve as a platform like an operating system, but people need to go through them to sell their commerce, whether it’s a product that’s on Amazon or an app, say, in the Apple App Store or through a service like Google search.”</p>\n<p>Smith has cultivated strong relationships with lawmakers, including with the top Democrats and Republicans on the antitrust subcommittee.

Republican Jim Jordan and other GOP lawmakers said they want to ensure the software giant doesn’t get special treatment.\nRepresentative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state initially said that while Microsoft exceeds the $600 billion market capitalization threshold laid out in four of the six bills before the Judiciary panel, another criterion about whether the Redmond, Washington-based company is considered a critical trading partner might let it off the hook.\nJayapal said later in the hearing that she thinks Microsoft would count as a critical trading partner because of its cloud platform.\n“The assumption that Microsoft is not covered is incorrect,” Jayapal said after several lawmakers questioned why the definition in the bills appeared tailored to exclude Microsoft.\nA company has to meet all of the criteria in the four tech-focused bills to be covered, including that it have a market capitalization of at least $600 billion..\n‘Biggest Offenders’\nDuring the hearing, Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky challenged his colleagues on the committee to explain why Microsoft wouldn’t fall under the measures.\n“I’m trying to figure out why one of the biggest offenders, of Big Tech, has mysteriously avoided the scrutiny of this committee and this broad swath of bills that seek to radically rewrite our antitrust law,” Massie said, waving a draft of the bill that he said was shared with Microsoft before it was public. “I’m talking about Microsoft.”\nDemocrat David Cicilline of Rhode Island, the chair of the antitrust subcommittee that drafted the bills, denied during the hearing that any company has been granted an exception. He said that the bill in question was based on previous legislation introduced in the Senate, so it wouldn’t have been hard to find draft text.\n“There are no exemptions in these bills,” Cicilline said. “No company is exempted, period.”\nA final determination about which companies would be covered by the bills will be made by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission, Cicilline said. “Each of these bills is broadly applicable to firms that meet the definition of a covered platform,” Cicilline said, without saying whether Microsoft would be among them.\nThe bills before the Judiciary Committee came out of last year’s investigation of the allegedly anti-competitive practices of Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. Microsoft, which offers products including Windows, LinkedIn, Office and Teams, wasn’t a target of that investigation.\nThe six bills are likely to be approved by the Judiciary Committee, but it’s unclear if they have enough support to pass the House. Their fate is even more uncertain in the Senate, where legislation needs at least 10 Republicans to pass, making it difficult for them to become law as written.\nA proposed amendment offered by Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, to narrow the definition of “online platform” for the four tech-focused bills to “mobile operating system,” was undone by another amendment to strike the word “mobile.”\nThe draft of the bill Massie displayed during the hearing, which was reviewed by Bloomberg News, didn’t mention operating systems at all in that definition. A Microsoft spokesman said the company didn’t request the change.\nAsked during a break earlier in the hearing whether Microsoft -- which built its success through its Windows operating system for computers -- would be in scope of the bills, Nadler said he “would think so.”\nAntitrust Scrutiny\nJordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, earlier this week objected to what he saw as special treatment of Microsoft in the bipartisan House bills. He sent a scathing letter to Microsoft President Brad Smith on Monday, saying “Democrats have excluded Microsoft from antitrust scrutiny,” and demanded a clear answer to whether the company believes it would fall under the House proposals.\n“That’s what we have here. Bills that supposedly go after Big Tech, being written by Big Tech,” Jordan said during Wednesday’s hearing.\nLast week, Smith said in a Bloomberg TV interview that “there are aspects of the legislation that was introduced in the house last week that absolutely applies to Microsoft and many other companies.” That, however, could have referred to the two bills before the committee that offer modest measures to support antitrust enforcers and aren’t focused on the tech industry.\nSmith went on to say that he sees U.S. antitrust action focusing on services that aren’t Microsoft’s core business.\n“I think in many ways where this is going is a particular focus on technology platforms that serve as gatekeepers,” Smith said. “In other words, they not only serve as a platform like an operating system, but people need to go through them to sell their commerce, whether it’s a product that’s on Amazon or an app, say, in the Apple App Store or through a service like Google search.”\nSmith has cultivated strong relationships with lawmakers, including with the top Democrats and Republicans on the antitrust subcommittee. He testified in March in favor of Cicilline’s bill to help newspapers negotiate with online platforms.\nHe was also in the same class at Princeton University as Colorado Republican Ken Buck, who played a key role in drafting the House bills and in last year’s investigation of Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google.\n‘Covered Platform’\nOne of the bills is Cicilline’s proposal to outlaw any practice that “advantages the covered platform operator’s own products, services, or lines of business over those of another business user.” That could limit how Apple presents its own music and messaging products on iPhones because competitors including Spotify and Facebook’s WhatsApp depend on mobile phones to reach consumers.\nThe bill from Jayapal, whose district includes the outskirts of Seattle, could force the divestiture of entire lines of business. That could be devastating to Amazon, which is based in Seattle.\nThe other two measures, including one sponsored by Buck, would limit acquisitions by the covered platforms and would make it easier for users to move their data, like contacts and photos, from one service to another.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128381720,"gmtCreate":1624501918560,"gmtModify":1703838544713,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GME

72% year-over-year.</p><p>In the fourth quarter, Tesla had earned 80 cents per share on a non-GAAP basis on revenues of $10.74 billion.</p><p>Tesla revealed in early April it delivered a record 184,800 vehicles in the first quarter, comprising 182,780 Model 3/Y vehicles and 2,020 Model S/X vehicles. This represents a 109% year-over-year increase and 2.2% sequential growth. Quarterly production was at 180,338.</p><p><b>Focus On Regulatory Credits, Automotive Margins: </b> The focus is likely to be on regulatory credits, which accounted for 4.3% of its revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020. Zero-emission vehicle regulations adopted by several states allow EV manufacturers to&nbsp;earn regulatory credits, which can be monetized by selling to legacy automakers, who are not able to achieve the minimum target set for the proportion of green energy vehicles sold.</p><p>Automotive gross margin slipped to 24.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020 from 27.7% in the previous quarter. It's likely the company could see a further moderation in margins, as production of the higher priced Model S/X vehicles was stalled in the quarter to allow for model refreshes.</p><p><b>View more earnings on TSLA</b></p><p>With competitive pressure intensifying, Tesla could aggressively slash vehicles prices in order to achieve volume production targets, long-time Tesla bear Gordon Johnson said in a note previewing the quarterly results.</p><p>Tesla investors may also be keen to find out more about the company's Bitcoin investment strategy and its decision to allow the use of Bitcoin for vehicle purchases.</p><p><b>Forward Outlook:</b> Tesla is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity presented by the exponential growth that is anticipated for green energy vehicles.<b> </b>Its&nbsp;Giga Shanghai factory is now churning out both Model S and Model Y vehicles, and more capacity is expected to come on line with the opening of factories in Berlin and Texas.</p><p>Tesla's CFO Zach Kirkhorn said on the earnings call that the company is shooting for a 50% compounded annual growth rate in volume sales&nbsp;and expects to materially exceed the target in 2021.</p><p><b>Stock Take: </b> Tesla's shares, which were flying high until early February, joined the tech sell-off that ensued. From a split-adjusted high of $900.40 on Jan. 25, the stock fell to $539.49 on March 5, a peak-to-trough decline of 40%.</p><p>Although the stock has made good some of the losses since then, it is yet to break above $800 level.</p><p>Tesla holds a several-year lead and is now expanding aggressively into storage, and therefore a premium valuation for its shares is justified, CANACCORD Genuity analyst Jed Dorsheimer said in a recent note.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?</p><p>At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.</p><p><b>Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory Landscape</b></p><p>The US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.</p><p>Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listings</p><p>Coin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.</p><p>Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at &gt;20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.</p><p>SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)</p><p>In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase. However, it is listed on more than500 other centralized exchanges(excluding decentralized exchanges) that are much smaller thanCoinbase outside the US.</p><p>XRP is the 7th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap as of the time of writing. Many other top cryptocurrencies are also not found onCoinbase, such as BNB (ranked 3rd), ADA (ranked 4th), DOT (ranked 6th). Amongthe 10 highest-rated centralized exchanges(refer to Table 1), only Bitstamp (18) offers fewer cryptocurrencies thanCoinbase (49), while the market leader (Binance) ledCoinbase by 700% in coin listings.</p><p>Since regulation can directly affect coin listings, a competitive advantage of an exchange,Coinbase already faces overwhelming challenges to compete on this front alone.</p><p>Table 1: Top 10 Spot Exchange Ranked by CoinMarketCap Ratings.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5bf68da62452a794c5daaa60ac989840\" tg-width=\"554\" tg-height=\"576\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Table created by Author fromCoinMarketCap</p><p><b>Other Regulatory Risks</b></p><p>Regulatory risks extend beyond coin listings and the US.Coinbase offers its services to52 countries. If any of the 52 countries ban crypto assets, its revenue would be adversely affected. It is not uncommon for centralized exchanges to relocate to another country due to regulations. While India isplotting a move to ban cryptocurrencies, many exchanges apply forlicenses to move out from India.</p><p>Statistically speaking, 108 exchangesshut downin 2020, compared to 81 in 2019. At least 3 are shut down by government(s) in 2020, and at least 2 in 2019.</p><p>Although it seems unlikely for the US to follow China's and India's footsteps to drastically ban crypto-assets now, regulatory risks remain major risks toCoinbase.</p><p><b>Fundamental Risk 2: Losing a Winner-Takes-All Market</b></p><p>There are 2 types of crypto exchanges: centralized and decentralized. Both have pros and cons. The best known centralized exchange is Binance, while the best known decentralized exchange is Uniswap. Although centralized exchanges may require a license by a governing body, decentralized exchanges might not, as decentralized exchanges can have avarying degree of centralized components. Both centralized and decentralized exchanges have their respective roles in the crypto ecosystem, hence I think that both are here to stay.</p><p>Many of the decentralized exchange source codes are open source (full listshere). In other words, virtually anyone can develop and host a decentralized exchange. This implies a shallow barrier to entry. Uniswap is the market leader in the decentralized exchange space. Itrecordedmore than $58bn volume in 2020, up 15,000% from 2019. Note that Uniswap wasfirst launchedin November 2018, compared toCoinbase in 2012.</p><p>On the other hand, Binance, the market leader in the centralized exchange space, recorded a total of$1.417 trillion spot trading volume in 2020, an increase of 36% from 2019. This figure does not even include other trading volumes, such as options, futures, margin, and other services, which amounted to $1.7 trillion, a 2800% increase from 2019.</p><p>In comparison,Coinbase only recorded $445bn total trading volume in 2020, a 39% increase in 2019. This is evidence that the market leader is pulling away, implying a winner-takes-all market. This becomes evident by referring to Table 1, where the market leader has more than 10 times the trading value than the 2nd place (Coinbase).</p><p>Furthermore, many traditional financial, non-financial international corporations and fintech companies are also participating in the competition. One of the latest addition is ApplePay.ApplePaynow has official support for cryptocurrencies, with GooglePay and SamsungPay to follow suit. Other note-worthy companies include Square, Paypal, and Visa.</p><p>In my opinion,Coinbase looks to be on the losing side if this market is indeed a winner-takes-all market. Further,Coinbase could be losing market more market share as more competition arises.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01ca6dafd2b567bd920c5e9f8edc8fbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"202\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source:BusinessofApps</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>The tables below showed thatCoinbase's profit margin is healthy at 28% in 2020. Revenue growth rate compounds at approximately 7% annually from 2017-2020, but profits declined.</p><p>Coinbase's valuation in 2017 remains the most attractive, at 1.725 P/S (Price-to-Sales ratio) and 4.21 P/E (Price-to-Earnings ratio). Earlier this month,Coinbase's IPO valuation is pegged at$100bn. However, recent reports indicated a decrease inCoinbase's IPO valuation to$68bn.At a valuation of $100bn and $68bn,Coinbase is valued at approximately 333 P/E and 211 P/E respectively, or approximately 87.7 P/S and 59.65 P/S respectively.</p><p>Coinbase's valuation in 2020 is a far cry from 2017. Perhaps,Coinbase is pushing for its IPO to cash in on the overall stock market's high valuation.</p><p>Nevertheless, considering the 2 fundamental risks outlined above, marginal revenue growth and declined profits,Coinbase is overvalued at the current valuation in my opinion. The current decline in growth stocks further deterioratesCoinbase's investment value proposition.</p><p>Table 3:Coinbase's Revenue from 2016-2020<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de8396c363230e04130e43f63d653956\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"231\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source:BusinessofApps</p><p>Table 4:Coinbase's Profit from 2016-2020<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be2327ad800bd3524a3aaa57e3a0b17f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"208\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source:BusinessofApps</p><p>Table 5:Coinbase's Historical Valuations<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b1fd86395ee1b0e38f1f6fd472f84bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"159\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source:BusinessofApps</p><p><b>Verdict</b></p><p>In my opinion, the current valuation ofCoinbase couldn't be justified even though the crypto industry is growing rapidly in general. This is down toCoinbase's 2 fundamental risks outlined in this article, marginal growth, sky-high valuation, and the decline in the growth stocks.</p><p>The reason I retain a neutral outlook onCoinbase is the overall outlook of the industry. On the other hand, we can participate in Binance, the market leader in the centralized exchange space, to maximize investment growth. Although Binance is not publicly traded, we can participate in its growth by buying its platform token (BNB).Binance uses part of its profitsto buy back its platform token (BNB)periodically. This results in a gradual increase in its token's price, a similar effect of shares buyback.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory LandscapeThe US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listingsCoin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at >20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase. However, it is listed on more than500 other centralized exchanges(excluding decentralized exchanges) that are much smaller thanCoinbase outside the US.XRP is the 7th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap as of the time of writing. Many other top cryptocurrencies are also not found onCoinbase, such as BNB (ranked 3rd), ADA (ranked 4th), DOT (ranked 6th). Amongthe 10 highest-rated centralized exchanges(refer to Table 1), only Bitstamp (18) offers fewer cryptocurrencies thanCoinbase (49), while the market leader (Binance) ledCoinbase by 700% in coin listings.Since regulation can directly affect coin listings, a competitive advantage of an exchange,Coinbase already faces overwhelming challenges to compete on this front alone.Table 1: Top 10 Spot Exchange Ranked by CoinMarketCap Ratings.Source: Table created by Author fromCoinMarketCapOther Regulatory RisksRegulatory risks extend beyond coin listings and the US.Coinbase offers its services to52 countries. If any of the 52 countries ban crypto assets, its revenue would be adversely affected. It is not uncommon for centralized exchanges to relocate to another country due to regulations. While India isplotting a move to ban cryptocurrencies, many exchanges apply forlicenses to move out from India.Statistically speaking, 108 exchangesshut downin 2020, compared to 81 in 2019. At least 3 are shut down by government(s) in 2020, and at least 2 in 2019.Although it seems unlikely for the US to follow China's and India's footsteps to drastically ban crypto-assets now, regulatory risks remain major risks toCoinbase.Fundamental Risk 2: Losing a Winner-Takes-All MarketThere are 2 types of crypto exchanges: centralized and decentralized. Both have pros and cons. The best known centralized exchange is Binance, while the best known decentralized exchange is Uniswap. Although centralized exchanges may require a license by a governing body, decentralized exchanges might not, as decentralized exchanges can have avarying degree of centralized components. Both centralized and decentralized exchanges have their respective roles in the crypto ecosystem, hence I think that both are here to stay.Many of the decentralized exchange source codes are open source (full listshere). In other words, virtually anyone can develop and host a decentralized exchange. This implies a shallow barrier to entry. Uniswap is the market leader in the decentralized exchange space. Itrecordedmore than $58bn volume in 2020, up 15,000% from 2019. Note that Uniswap wasfirst launchedin November 2018, compared toCoinbase in 2012.On the other hand, Binance, the market leader in the centralized exchange space, recorded a total of$1.417 trillion spot trading volume in 2020, an increase of 36% from 2019. This figure does not even include other trading volumes, such as options, futures, margin, and other services, which amounted to $1.7 trillion, a 2800% increase from 2019.In comparison,Coinbase only recorded $445bn total trading volume in 2020, a 39% increase in 2019. This is evidence that the market leader is pulling away, implying a winner-takes-all market. This becomes evident by referring to Table 1, where the market leader has more than 10 times the trading value than the 2nd place (Coinbase).Furthermore, many traditional financial, non-financial international corporations and fintech companies are also participating in the competition. One of the latest addition is ApplePay.ApplePaynow has official support for cryptocurrencies, with GooglePay and SamsungPay to follow suit. Other note-worthy companies include Square, Paypal, and Visa.In my opinion,Coinbase looks to be on the losing side if this market is indeed a winner-takes-all market. Further,Coinbase could be losing market more market share as more competition arises.Source:BusinessofAppsValuationThe tables below showed thatCoinbase's profit margin is healthy at 28% in 2020. Revenue growth rate compounds at approximately 7% annually from 2017-2020, but profits declined.Coinbase's valuation in 2017 remains the most attractive, at 1.725 P/S (Price-to-Sales ratio) and 4.21 P/E (Price-to-Earnings ratio). Earlier this month,Coinbase's IPO valuation is pegged at$100bn. However, recent reports indicated a decrease inCoinbase's IPO valuation to$68bn.At a valuation of $100bn and $68bn,Coinbase is valued at approximately 333 P/E and 211 P/E respectively, or approximately 87.7 P/S and 59.65 P/S respectively.Coinbase's valuation in 2020 is a far cry from 2017. Perhaps,Coinbase is pushing for its IPO to cash in on the overall stock market's high valuation.Nevertheless, considering the 2 fundamental risks outlined above, marginal revenue growth and declined profits,Coinbase is overvalued at the current valuation in my opinion. The current decline in growth stocks further deterioratesCoinbase's investment value proposition.Table 3:Coinbase's Revenue from 2016-2020Source:BusinessofAppsTable 4:Coinbase's Profit from 2016-2020Source:BusinessofAppsTable 5:Coinbase's Historical ValuationsSource:BusinessofAppsVerdictIn my opinion, the current valuation ofCoinbase couldn't be justified even though the crypto industry is growing rapidly in general. This is down toCoinbase's 2 fundamental risks outlined in this article, marginal growth, sky-high valuation, and the decline in the growth stocks.The reason I retain a neutral outlook onCoinbase is the overall outlook of the industry. On the other hand, we can participate in Binance, the market leader in the centralized exchange space, to maximize investment growth. Although Binance is not publicly traded, we can participate in its growth by buying its platform token (BNB).Binance uses part of its profitsto buy back its platform token (BNB)periodically. This results in a gradual increase in its token's price, a similar effect of shares buyback. Hence, I participate in Binance's growth by buying BNB, which saw a 670% YTD return.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346386902,"gmtCreate":1617994427906,"gmtModify":1704705774205,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stonks","listText":"Stonks","text":"Stonks","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2eac7c320fafcb8ee9c49107efa98a2","width":"1125","height":"2537"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346386902","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325800579,"gmtCreate":1615882834291,"gmtModify":1704787864528,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANCN\">$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$</a> Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANCN\">$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$</a> Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","text":"$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$ Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325800579","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":198,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":128381720,"gmtCreate":1624501918560,"gmtModify":1703838544713,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GME TO THE MOON","listText":"GME TO THE MOON","text":"GME TO THE MOON","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128381720","repostId":"1165360625","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165360625","pubTimestamp":1624500936,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1165360625?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-24 10:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SEC Delays Another Bitcoin ETF Decision.

Software and Sea Limited enjoy strong network effects that will make their stocks soar higher.","content":"<p>The video gaming industry is probably bigger than you think it is. Companies in the industry generate $180 billion in annual revenue worldwide. When compared with other entertainment sectors, that's bigger than the film industry ($100 billion) and the sports industry ($75 billion) combined. While gaming hardware being sold by <b>Sony</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Nintendo </b>makes up a significant percentage of that revenue, the vast majority (roughly $167 billion) is related to software sales.</p><p>There are numerous software companies in this sector, many of them private. Among the highly successful public companies on the software side are names like <b>Activision</b> <b>Blizzard</b>,&nbsp;<b>Electronic Arts</b>,&nbsp;<b>Take-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> Interactive</b>, and <b>Ubisoft</b>.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA\">Two</a> video game-related investments I particularly like are <b>Sea Limited </b>(NYSE:SE) and <b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U). Here's why.</p><h2>1. Sea Limited is a platform company</h2><p>When Sea first began, it was a video gaming company called Garena, short for \"Gaming Arena.\" It's a virtual place to play and watch video games across southeast Asia (and now South America as well). The most famous video game the company introduced is <i>Free Fire</i>, a battle royale mobile game. It's a free game, but many addicted customers spend within the game anyway, buying additional weapons or character improvements. That's why Sea's \"free game\" brought in more than $2 billion in revenue in 2020.</p><p>As CEO Forrest Li said on a conference call, \"<i>Free Fire</i> was once again a key driver of Garena's outperformance. According to App Annie, it continues to be the highest-grossing mobile game in Latin America and Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter, as well as the full year of 2020. It has maintained the top ranking for six consecutive quarters.\"</p><p>The popularity of the game continues to astound. As Li put it, \"We're also pleased to share that <i>Free Fire</i> was once again the most downloaded mobile game in the world in 2020, according to App Annie. This is the second year in a row that <i>Free Fire</i> was ranked first globally.\"</p><p>One major difference between Sea and all its competitors is when these companies were founded. Li created Sea in 2009, which is important because it's after the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. Not surprisingly, Sea has always focused on mobile games. The major American (and French) games companies were all started back in the 20th century, and have always focused on creating games for the various hardware platforms. They have been late to the mobile revolution, and have been trying to play catch-up, mostly by acquisition.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Software company</th><th>Year founded</th></tr><tr><td>Activision</td><td>1979</td></tr><tr><td>Entertainment Arts</td><td>1982</td></tr><tr><td>Ubisoft</td><td>1986</td></tr><tr><td>Blizzard</td><td>1991</td></tr><tr><td>Take-Two Interactive</td><td>1993</td></tr><tr><td>Sea Limited</td><td><b>2009</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Founding dates based on reporting from Wikipedia. (Activision and Blizzard merged in 2008.)</p><p>Sea has had a major head start in mobile games, which is its killer advantage. As Motley Fool Rulebreaker fans would say, the company was a first mover in an important, emerging industry. But what's really killing the competition is how Sea took advantage of its head start and locked in its popularity with its mobile audience, using the revenue generated to fund expansion into new revenue opportunities such as opening up an e-commerce site, Shopee, and creating a mobile payments platform, Sea Money. Now the network effect is helping to cement its position as the top internet company in Southeast Asia.</p><h2>2. Unity Software is a distributor, not a developer</h2><p>Unlike Sea and the rest of the software brigade, Unity Software does not develop any video games itself. Instead, Unity provides a suite of advanced software tools to help other companies more efficiently create video games. Unity also provides distribution for smaller studios that create fun games for our smartphones. Unity enjoys a duopoly with competitor Epic Games in that regard.</p><p>While Epic Games is best known publicly for its popular <i>Fortnite </i>game, in the industry Epic is best known for its Unreal engine, the software that competes with Unity in providing tools for game developers. While Unreal is known for its high-end computer graphics, Unity's focus has been on simpler tools that do the same thing. Because of its simplicity, Unity is generally winning on the mobile side. In the fourth quarter, Unity management reported that 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games were made on its platform. That's amazing dominance in mobile, the fastest-growing segment of the gaming industry.</p><p>As a distributor, Unity will make a lot of money in the gaming industry with much less risk than content creators face. Studios can spend millions of dollars introducing a new game and quickly go out of business if the game fails to achieve any popularity. A distributor like Unity makes its profits as the entire industry advances, earning a share of all sales from the games using its platform, whether they succeed or not.</p><p>It's the platform, in other words, that gives Unity its killer advantage. And this platform also has a powerful moat. Software developers are trained on specific tools. For a new threat to Unity to emerge, the technological advance would have to be so amazing that industry veterans would spend the time to \"go back to school\" and learn a whole new system. Right now, most software developers have a favorite between Unity and Epic's Unreal. Some are equally adept with both technologies. But few would be interested in spending months learning a third system unless they really had to do it.</p><p>What makes Unity a particularly exciting investment is that it's the leading software engine in the creation of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) games. While this is a tiny segment of the industry right now, it's expected to be massive in the next decade or two because its applications stretch beyond just gaming. For instance,&nbsp;<b>Autodesk</b> is now using Unity's tools in the architecture vertical, and <b>Volkswagen</b> used Unity's software to build an online showroom for its automobiles.</p><h2>Investor takeaway</h2><p>While there will be many winners in the gaming industry, Sea Limited and Unity are particularly strong investments because these companies enjoy powerful network effects. Indeed, both of these companies are so strong right now that they are using their leadership roles in gaming software in order to seize market share in other industries as well. That will help these stocks reward investors for many years to come.</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>2 Gaming Stocks That Have a Killer Advantage</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\">\n2 Gaming Stocks That Have a Killer Advantage\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-05 20:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/05/2-gaming-stocks-that-have-a-killer-advantage/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The video gaming industry is probably bigger than you think it is.

That will help these stocks reward investors for many years to come.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128388723,"gmtCreate":1624501939762,"gmtModify":1703838545717,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme to the moon?!","listText":"Gme to the moon?!","text":"Gme to the moon?!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128388723","repostId":"1164085879","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325800579,"gmtCreate":1615882834291,"gmtModify":1704787864528,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANCN\">$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$</a> Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANCN\">$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$</a> Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","text":"$Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd.(ANCN)$ Cannot sell cause tiger dont let you?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325800579","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":198,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941315924,"gmtCreate":1679977172868,"gmtModify":1679977178189,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Deutsche is such a risky stock","listText":"Deutsche is such a risky stock","text":"Deutsche is such a risky stock","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941315924","repostId":"1181502388","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1181502388","pubTimestamp":1679961575,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1181502388?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-03-28 07:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Deutsche Bank $42 Trillion Derivatives Book: A Snowflake Away From Financial Meltdown?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181502388","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryInvestors are fearful Deutsche Bank is the next domino to fall.DB is a picture of rude health","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Investors are fearful Deutsche Bank is the next domino to fall.</li><li>DB is a picture of rude health coming into this banking crisis.</li><li>Some point to worries around its EUR42 trillion derivatives book.</li><li>I believe the fears over the derivatives exposures are way overblown.</li><li>However, loss of confidence may trigger a self-fulfilling prophecy.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/951f08647cf8299459183df05d33c7ee\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"513\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Deutsche Bank&#39;s (NYSE:DB) share price has fallen sharply in the last trading sessions as financial contagion fears continued in the wake of the collapse of Credit Suisse (CS).

This is what some investors are concerned about, surely, DB is a snowflake away from a financial meltdown, right?</p><p>Well, not quite.</p><p>To start with the reported number is a notional amount of the derivative contract as opposed to actual exposure. This is best explained as an example.</p><p>Say one of DB&#39;s large corporate clients is requiring an interest rate swap (&#34;IRS&#34;) to protect themselves from rising interest rates on a $1 billion loan. The IRS terms reflect a swap of say LIBOR +100 basis points to a fixed rate of 6%. In such a scenario, DB would be purchasing an identical $1 billion IRS from another banking counterparty (say, JPMorgan).</p><p>So from DB&#39;s perspective, it likely earned a margin or fee on the transaction. It has no interest rate exposure or market risk either as it is fully hedged. However, for the purpose of calculating its gross derivative exposures (towards the 42 trillion figure), it would count as a $2 billion notional exposure.</p><p>This is the key reason why these notional derivatives exposures are so large. These are just notional contract figures and nowhere near the actual exposure. Furthermore, DB carefully manages its book which is mostly hedged for market risk (as well as counterparty risk).</p><p>On an overall portfolio basis, DB would not be 100% hedged of course. This could be due to other unrelated positions (for example, hedging its liquidity securities portfolio). As of 31st December, DB has total positive marks of EUR301 billion and total negative marks of EUR283 billion and therefore a total gain of ~EUR18 billion on its derivatives portfolio as of 31st December 2022.</p><p>Okay, so now we are clear that DB&#39;s market risk is predominantly hedged as described above - but what about counterparty default risk?</p><h2>Counterparty Default Risk</h2><p>The obvious next question is what happens if a large counterparty such as Credit Suisse or JPMorgan (JPM) defaults?</p><p>Firstly, it is important to note that any derivatives that are exchange-traded or cleared by a central party do not pose credit risks. However, as can be seen from above, most of DB&#39;s derivatives exposures are Over-The-Counter (&#34;OTC&#34;) derivatives and therefore exposed to counterparty default risk.</p><p>As such, the industry practice is to enter contracts based on master agreements for derivatives such asthe International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (&#34;ISDA&#34;) master agreement. The master agreement allows for close-out nettings of all rights and obligations with a counterparty upon the counterparty&#39;s default.</p><p>So as an example, if a counterparty (such as CS) defaults then all outstanding derivatives contracts with that counterparty are settled on a net basis on the default date. As such, banks like DB monitor specific counterparty risks daily and ensure that their total exposure (netting) to a particular counterparty is within predefined risk limits. This is a key reason why counterparties reduced their trading with CS prior to its being acquired by UBS (UBS) which contributed to its downfall.</p><p>Another common way for banks to reduce their counterparty risk is to enter into what is known as credit support annexes (CSAs) to master agreements. These are effectively a form of margin calls and require the counterparty to post collateral when there is an unrealized loss beyond a certain level.</p><p>The impact of nettings and collateral posted under ISDA is incorporated in the RWAs and capital allocated for counterparty risk across the bank as can be seen from the below disclosure in the 2022 annual report:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c88ac7b683292fe59f704f6e7e27fad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"191\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>DB 2022 Annual Report</p><p>So in summary, both market and counterparty risks arising from DB are well managed and an appropriate amount of capital is allocated for any residual risks.</p><h2>Final Thoughts</h2><p>Investors in banks are clearly very nervous given the crisis of confidence in the U.S. and European banking markets in recent weeks. In the wake of the collapse of CS, investors are looking for the next domino piece to fall. Given its chequered history and past reputation for being the sick bank of Europe, the focus has now quite naturally switched to DB. Mr. Market is shooting first and then asking questions. The risk remains, of course, that this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy even though DB appears to be a picture of rude health coming into this crisis.</p><p>The EUR42 trillion derivative book notional exposure is certainly a very large number that perhaps scares some investors. My conclusion is clear, the actual market and/or counterparty risks are very limited and strictly managed. In my view, the risk of the derivatives book imploding is very low.</p><p>However, out of an abundance of caution, I have managed my risk exposure to DB stock in the short term.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342470237,"gmtCreate":1618239290229,"gmtModify":1704708027645,"author":{"id":"3578020324721422","authorId":"3578020324721422","name":"Skoinonm8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca27004f00ae4142e48a3202fcfc503a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GME ALL THE WAYTYTTYYY","listText":"GME ALL THE WAYTYTTYYY","text":"GME ALL THE WAYTYTTYYY","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342470237","repostId":"1115379832","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115379832","pubTimestamp":1618239034,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1115379832?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-12 22:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy Tesla Because It Could Be the Next Apple.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?</p><p>At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.</p><p><b>Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory Landscape</b></p><p>The US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.</p><p>Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listings</p><p>Coin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.</p><p>Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at &gt;20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.</p><p>SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)</p><p>In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory LandscapeThe US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listingsCoin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at >20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase. However, it is listed on more than500 other centralized exchanges(excluding decentralized exchanges) that are much smaller thanCoinbase outside the US.XRP is the 7th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap as of the time of writing. Many other top cryptocurrencies are also not found onCoinbase, such as BNB (ranked 3rd), ADA (ranked 4th), DOT (ranked 6th). Amongthe 10 highest-rated centralized exchanges(refer to Table 1), only Bitstamp (18) offers fewer cryptocurrencies thanCoinbase (49), while the market leader (Binance) ledCoinbase by 700% in coin listings.Since regulation can directly affect coin listings, a competitive advantage of an exchange,Coinbase already faces overwhelming challenges to compete on this front alone.Table 1: Top 10 Spot Exchange Ranked by CoinMarketCap Ratings.Source: Table created by Author fromCoinMarketCapOther Regulatory RisksRegulatory risks extend beyond coin listings and the US.Coinbase offers its services to52 countries. If any of the 52 countries ban crypto assets, its revenue would be adversely affected. It is not uncommon for centralized exchanges to relocate to another country due to regulations. While India isplotting a move to ban cryptocurrencies, many exchanges apply forlicenses to move out from India.Statistically speaking, 108 exchangesshut downin 2020, compared to 81 in 2019.
