The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts.

It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.</p><p>When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.</p><p>That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.</p><p>\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-28 23:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago.

J&J said “no clear causal relationship” has been identified between the blood clots and the vaccine and said it is working with regulators to assess the issue.The recommendation comes just as airlines and other travel companies have reported improvement in bookings after coronavirus cases fell from the peak earlier this year and more people are vaccinated.Shares of Delta Air Lines and United Airlineswere each down more than 2% in Tuesday morning market trading. American Airlinesshares were off about 4%.

After 172 years, the company remains in the foreground of innovation and breakthrough in new drugs and therapeutics. Over the past few decades, Pfizer has been the name behind such well-known drugs and consumer products as Advil, Bextra, Diflucan, Viagra, Chapstick, and Preparation H. And during the coronavirus pandemic, Pfizer's vaccine with BioNTech was the first to be approved by the FDA (on Dec. 11).</p>\n<p>As the world moves toward global inoculation, Pfizer stands to benefit with increasing revenue from this vaccine, which should bring in an estimated $15 billion in 2021 alone. &nbsp;For full-year 2021 guidance, management estimated revenue of between $59.4 billion and $61.4 billion, meaning the vaccine should account for about a quarter of the total.</p>\n<p>The company currently trades at a P/E of just 11.21 and offers investors a 4.3% dividend yield, much higher than the 1.37% average of the<b>S&amp;P 500</b> at this time. As mentioned before, Pfizer is trading at an extreme discount compared to its peers in the pharmaceutical space. With a bright future that I don't believe has been priced in yet by investors, this stock should be very tempting to add to portfolios.</p>\n<p><b>The case for Gilead</b></p>\n<p>Gilead Sciences joined many investors' watchlists (and portfolios) thanks to its COVID-19 treatment, remdesivir, which was approved Oct. 22 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Within a month, though, the World Health Organization issued advice<i>against</i> using remdesivir, saying there was no evidence it improved survival or patient outcomes. Since then, the stock has languished around the $65 range. Despite the WHO announcing that Remdesivir does not do much to improve health of patients battling COVID-19, hospitals do continue to use it to treat patients in countries including India and Korea with moderate and severe infections.</p>\n<p>This was especially unfortunate given that, besides its efforts against COVID, the company seems to be in a tight spot.

The benchmark iShares US Pharmaceuticals ETF (NYSEMKT:IHE) has underperformed the S&P 500 by almost 20% in this time, and some companies in particular look especially cheap. Their share prices have not kept pace with the broader bull market, and that presents a bargain opportunity for investors.\nTwo big-name pharmaceuticals that have been making news a lot lately, much of that related to the COVID-19 pandemic, are Pfizer(NYSE:PFE) and Gilead(NASDAQ:GILD) (Pfizer with a vaccine in partnership with BioNTech, Gilead with a treatment called remdesivir). But while both have made COVID-related headlines, neither has seen a COVID-related boost -- both stocks are at a price-to-earnings ratio of less than 15, which is cheap from a valuation perspective in comparison to many peers. (Johnson & Johnson(NYSE:PFE) and Eli Lilly(NYSE:PFE) carry P/E ratios of 17.27 and 22.47 respectively.) But if we look to the future and past the pandemic, there is potential for both Pfizer and Gilead to produce great results for investors.\nImage Source: Getty Images.\nThe case for Pfizer\nFounded in 1849 in Brooklyn, Pfizer has had a remarkable journey. After 172 years, the company remains in the foreground of innovation and breakthrough in new drugs and therapeutics. Over the past few decades, Pfizer has been the name behind such well-known drugs and consumer products as Advil, Bextra, Diflucan, Viagra, Chapstick, and Preparation H. And during the coronavirus pandemic, Pfizer's vaccine with BioNTech was the first to be approved by the FDA (on Dec. 11).\nAs the world moves toward global inoculation, Pfizer stands to benefit with increasing revenue from this vaccine, which should bring in an estimated $15 billion in 2021 alone.  For full-year 2021 guidance, management estimated revenue of between $59.4 billion and $61.4 billion, meaning the vaccine should account for about a quarter of the total.\nThe company currently trades at a P/E of just 11.21 and offers investors a 4.3% dividend yield, much higher than the 1.37% average of theS&P 500 at this time. As mentioned before, Pfizer is trading at an extreme discount compared to its peers in the pharmaceutical space. With a bright future that I don't believe has been priced in yet by investors, this stock should be very tempting to add to portfolios.\nThe case for Gilead\nGilead Sciences joined many investors' watchlists (and portfolios) thanks to its COVID-19 treatment, remdesivir, which was approved Oct. 22 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Within a month, though, the World Health Organization issued adviceagainst using remdesivir, saying there was no evidence it improved survival or patient outcomes. Since then, the stock has languished around the $65 range. Despite the WHO announcing that Remdesivir does not do much to improve health of patients battling COVID-19, hospitals do continue to use it to treat patients in countries including India and Korea with moderate and severe infections.\nThis was especially unfortunate given that, besides its efforts against COVID, the company seems to be in a tight spot. Its drug Biktarvy, a medicine to treat HIV, is its only product with increasing revenue in the past few years, with sales up 53% from 2019 to 2020. However, the company's other big names are flat or down, with Genvoya (for HIV) down 15%, Odefsy (for HIV-1) flat, and sofosbuvir (for hepatitis C) down 19% from 2019 to 2020.\nHowever, there is some good news as well -- the company looks to be expanding its business into new markets with the acquisition of a biotech company called Forty Seven. On March 10, Gilead committed buying all outstanding shares of FortySeven in an all-cash deal at a hefty $95 a share, which came to a $4.9 billion acquisition price.\nThis move will help expand the company into cancer-fighting drugs, including magrolimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody that is being used against myelodysplastic syndrome, more often known as preleukemia. While the FDA has granted this drug fast-track status, hopefully meaning success for Gilead down the line, the future is still uncertain. While Gilead boasts a great 4.29% dividend yield, its P/E of only 9.26 looks to be discounted for a reason.\nThere is still tremendous uncertainty for future applications of remdesivir in relation to COVID-19. And the stagnation and decline in most of its core products is a concern. While we could see Biktarvy's growth expand enough to possibly offset the decline in its other products, the future is very unclear. One bright spot is the newly acquired magrolimab, which has been very successful in clinical trials and is classified as \"first in-class.\" This drug could generate meaningful returns sometime in the future.\nWhich stock should you buy?\nBoth Pfizer and Gilead seem stable coming out of the pandemic, but the former appears far more likely to provide investors with superior returns into the future. Both companies are trading at very cheap valuations -- but in Gilead's case, that's justified, as an investment there will require a lot of faith in management to navigate out of the current tight spot. Pfizer, however, is a stable business with a lot more potential to build out its vaccine business into the future.\nPfizer announced March 23 that it plans to build out its mRNA vaccine business by itself and sees massive potential in this new venture. Pfizer's current vaccines business, which includes its pneumonia vaccine Prevnar 13, brought in nearly $6.58 billion, or about 16% of the drugmaker's total sales last year.  Pfizer is a stock that provides healthcare investors with a vision for the future and currently seems to be the better buy right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":597,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357564436,"gmtCreate":1617285754225,"gmtModify":1704698335444,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp;this covid is causing a devastated changes&nbsp;","listText":"&nbsp;this covid is causing a devastated changes&nbsp;","text":"this covid is causing a devastated changes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357564436","repostId":"1144081100","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":533,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351019810,"gmtCreate":1616545189230,"gmtModify":1704795422464,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ppl will tends to make mistake&nbsp;","listText":"ppl will tends to make mistake&nbsp;","text":"ppl will tends to make mistake","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351019810","repostId":"1129536243","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129536243","pubTimestamp":1616509898,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129536243?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-23 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Warren Buffett’s $10 Billion Mistake","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129536243","media":"Barrons","summary":"Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett soured on many bank stocks last year.

Buffett was on the mark then as the stock recently hit a record $161.\nUnfortunately for Berkshire, it’s not benefiting from that move and those in other bank issues.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350681963,"gmtCreate":1616201298852,"gmtModify":1704792094406,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"apple is overpriced now&nbsp;","listText":"apple is overpriced now&nbsp;","text":"apple is overpriced now","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350681963","repostId":"1147443878","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1147443878","pubTimestamp":1616117641,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147443878?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock Is A Strong Buy, Expert Says.

However, GameStop will have to manage the ongoing decline of its brick-and-mortar business and incur substantial expenses as its moves away from that segment and ramps up its e-commerce initiatives.As the stock emerges from short-squeeze and meme-stock mania, the business is going to have to deliver an incredible series of wins in order to justify its current market capitalization of roughly $14 billion. The odds aren't in GameStop's favor, but it's shaping up to be an incredible story either way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":459,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325840833,"gmtCreate":1615888804422,"gmtModify":1704787974289,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"bravo","listText":"bravo","text":"bravo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325840833","repostId":"1124726208","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124726208","pubTimestamp":1615854446,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124726208?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-16 08:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Is Now the ‘Technoking’ of Tesla.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons.

Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago.

People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections.

High-growth stocks are facing steeper hurdles from rising bond yields. Investors appear to be rotating from growth to value and into sectors with more exposure to a cyclical economic recovery.</p><p>Quite simply, fatigue may be setting into overcrowded trades and investment themes—whether those are alternative-meat producers, a travel recovery, green energy, or the continued domination of Big Tech.</p><p>Against that backdrop, investors may want to tread cautiously. One way to do so: Avoid stocks with low earnings quality and high short interest—meaning there are short positions, or bearish bets, on a large percentage of a company’s shares outstanding. (A short position is when investors borrow and then sell shares, betting that a stock’s price will fall so they can buy shares back at a cheaper price.) Stocks with that combination of attributes may be most at risk of underperforming or blowing up, according to Wolfe Research.</p><p>The firm ranks stocks on a relative basis within sectors by scoring earnings quality on seven financial measures, while also looking at valuation and sentiment indicators, based on fourth-quarter financials.</p><p>Wolfe calls stocks scoring in the bottom 10% of earnings quality, while also seeing high short interest, “our highest conviction cohort of stocks to avoid.”</p><p>One caveat: Low-quality stocks have been a popular trade—fueled by ample market liquidity and demand for riskier assets. High short interest also primes a stock for a short-squeeze, whereby traders who are short buy the stock to cover their positions, exerting upward pressure on the price. Nothing illustrates that dynamic more than the frenzied trading around GameStop (ticker: GME) this year.</p><p>Beauty products maker Coty (COTY), for example, shows up on Wolfe’s screen. But it may have already had its blowup, falling 15% the day it released its earnings report in February. Barron’s was bullish on the stock in the aftermath, and it has been moving up since then.</p><p>Nonetheless, plenty of other stocks on Wolfe’s watch list do seem vulnerable. Many have surged in a reopening trade or company-specific dynamics, and all trade at steep valuations. Here are 10 stocks from Wolfe’s list:</p><p>Carvana (CVNA), for instance, has been a blockbuster, gaining 535% over the last 52 weeks. Investors appear to have decided that it is a disruptive force in car buying and that a pandemic-fueled shift to online sales has accelerated its momentum. However, Carvana isn’t close to reporting a profit, and is expected to lose $1.96 a share this year and 97 cents in 2022.</p><p>The stock is up around 11% this year, but it has been wobbling lately and is down from its 52-week high around $315, trading recently at $287. Short interest is high at 22% of the shares outstanding, according to FactSet.</p><p>Expedia Group (EXPE) has surged 32% this year. Investors expect online bookings volume to soar as consumers head for vacations this summer and fall. Wall Street doesn’t see Expedia Group earning a profit this year but expects big gains in 2022 with earnings per share of $6.04. At recent prices around $175, shares trade at 28 times 2022 earnings, a 40% premium to the S&amp;P 500 ‘s multiple of 20 times.</p><p>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) is also trading on hopes for a travel rebound in 2022. Wall Street expects revenues of $1.6 billion this year, up from $1.3 billion in 2020. But the stock is riding on expectations of a surge to $6 billion in revenue in 2022. Analysts are looking for earnings of 62 cents a share in 2022, up from an expected loss of $5.87 a share this year. The stock has climbed 218% in the last 52 weeks, and it is powering ahead this year, up 21% so far.</p><p>It’s hardly cheap, though, at 50 times estimated 2022 profits. About 13% of the shares are held short, according to FactSet.</p><p>Lyft (LYFT) also fits into the reopening theme; shares are up 178% in the last 52 weeks, including a 35% gain this year. Ride-sharing could pick up as more people head to work, meetings, and evenings out.</p><p>However, Lyft and its chief rival Uber Technologies (UBER) face rising labor costs and regulatory hurdles in Europe and other regions. Wall Street sees Lyft losing $1.08 a share this year and turning a modest profit of 17 cents in 2022. That gives it a multiple of 379 times 2022 earnings. Short interest is around 9%.</p><p>Restoration Hardware parent Restoration Hardware (RH) has been a stay-at-home winner. The stock soared 338% over the last year and it’s ahead 5% this year. The company is profitable, expected to earn $19.17 a share this year, up from an estimated $17.05 in 2020. But the stock hit a rough patch in early March as high-growth, high-multiple stocks sold off.</p><p>RH trades at 22 times 2022 earnings, which doesn’t look excessive. But It is now vulnerable to a blowup, according to Wolfe, with short-interest at 11% of the float.</p><p>Beyond Meat (BYND) has long been a battleground between alt-meat bulls and bears. The stock has surged 93% over the last 52 weeks, defying the bears, but at recent prices around $142, it’s off 36% from its 52-week high of $221.</p><p>The alt-meat trend is going strong, and Beyond is working its way into more restaurants and supermarkets, while expanding its product line. But alt-meat rivals are gaining traction. Beyond’s profits aren’t expected to roll in until 2022, when the firm is anticipated to earn 23 cents a share. At that level of profit, the stock trades at 621 times earnings.</p><p>Stocks like Beyond trade on underlying business momentum, making earnings less of a share-price driver. Still, it isn’t encouraging that Wall Street sees the losses piling up. Per-share estimates for 2021 have been lowered 12% in the last week, according to FactSet, and 2021 estimates are down 190% in the past three months.</p><p>Meanwhile, First Solar (FSLR) is riding a wave of investor demand for green stocks from ESG funds and others looking for exposure to clean energy. The company, which makes solar power systems and modules, has gained 124% over the last 52 weeks. The company has reported strong sales and bookings, but the stock is also baking in friendly climate policies from the Biden administration.</p><p>The stock has been wavering, however, after its big run. It has slumped 17% this year and it’s off more than 20% from 52-week highs around $112, recently trading around $82. Despite a favorable backdrop for green energy, First Solar’s sales and earnings are expected to fall slightly from 2021 to 2022. The stock trades at 24 times 2022 earnings, a premium to the market.</p><p>Other large-cap stocks that make Wolfe’s blowup watch list include BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN), Zendesk (ZEN), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

High-growth stocks are facing steeper hurdles from rising bond yields. Investors appear to be rotating from growth to value and into sectors with more exposure to a cyclical economic recovery.Quite simply, fatigue may be setting into overcrowded trades and investment themes—whether those are alternative-meat producers, a travel recovery, green energy, or the continued domination of Big Tech.Against that backdrop, investors may want to tread cautiously. One way to do so: Avoid stocks with low earnings quality and high short interest—meaning there are short positions, or bearish bets, on a large percentage of a company’s shares outstanding. (A short position is when investors borrow and then sell shares, betting that a stock’s price will fall so they can buy shares back at a cheaper price.) Stocks with that combination of attributes may be most at risk of underperforming or blowing up, according to Wolfe Research.The firm ranks stocks on a relative basis within sectors by scoring earnings quality on seven financial measures, while also looking at valuation and sentiment indicators, based on fourth-quarter financials.Wolfe calls stocks scoring in the bottom 10% of earnings quality, while also seeing high short interest, “our highest conviction cohort of stocks to avoid.”One caveat: Low-quality stocks have been a popular trade—fueled by ample market liquidity and demand for riskier assets. High short interest also primes a stock for a short-squeeze, whereby traders who are short buy the stock to cover their positions, exerting upward pressure on the price. Nothing illustrates that dynamic more than the frenzied trading around GameStop (ticker: GME) this year.Beauty products maker Coty (COTY), for example, shows up on Wolfe’s screen. But it may have already had its blowup, falling 15% the day it released its earnings report in February. Barron’s was bullish on the stock in the aftermath, and it has been moving up since then.Nonetheless, plenty of other stocks on Wolfe’s watch list do seem vulnerable. Many have surged in a reopening trade or company-specific dynamics, and all trade at steep valuations. Here are 10 stocks from Wolfe’s list:Carvana (CVNA), for instance, has been a blockbuster, gaining 535% over the last 52 weeks. Investors appear to have decided that it is a disruptive force in car buying and that a pandemic-fueled shift to online sales has accelerated its momentum. However, Carvana isn’t close to reporting a profit, and is expected to lose $1.96 a share this year and 97 cents in 2022.The stock is up around 11% this year, but it has been wobbling lately and is down from its 52-week high around $315, trading recently at $287. Short interest is high at 22% of the shares outstanding, according to FactSet.Expedia Group (EXPE) has surged 32% this year. Investors expect online bookings volume to soar as consumers head for vacations this summer and fall. Wall Street doesn’t see Expedia Group earning a profit this year but expects big gains in 2022 with earnings per share of $6.04. At recent prices around $175, shares trade at 28 times 2022 earnings, a 40% premium to the S&P 500 ‘s multiple of 20 times.Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) is also trading on hopes for a travel rebound in 2022. Wall Street expects revenues of $1.6 billion this year, up from $1.3 billion in 2020. But the stock is riding on expectations of a surge to $6 billion in revenue in 2022. Analysts are looking for earnings of 62 cents a share in 2022, up from an expected loss of $5.87 a share this year. The stock has climbed 218% in the last 52 weeks, and it is powering ahead this year, up 21% so far.It’s hardly cheap, though, at 50 times estimated 2022 profits. About 13% of the shares are held short, according to FactSet.Lyft (LYFT) also fits into the reopening theme; shares are up 178% in the last 52 weeks, including a 35% gain this year. Ride-sharing could pick up as more people head to work, meetings, and evenings out.However, Lyft and its chief rival Uber Technologies (UBER) face rising labor costs and regulatory hurdles in Europe and other regions. Wall Street sees Lyft losing $1.08 a share this year and turning a modest profit of 17 cents in 2022. That gives it a multiple of 379 times 2022 earnings. Short interest is around 9%.Restoration Hardware parent Restoration Hardware (RH) has been a stay-at-home winner. The stock soared 338% over the last year and it’s ahead 5% this year. The company is profitable, expected to earn $19.17 a share this year, up from an estimated $17.05 in 2020. But the stock hit a rough patch in early March as high-growth, high-multiple stocks sold off.RH trades at 22 times 2022 earnings, which doesn’t look excessive. But It is now vulnerable to a blowup, according to Wolfe, with short-interest at 11% of the float.Beyond Meat (BYND) has long been a battleground between alt-meat bulls and bears. The stock has surged 93% over the last 52 weeks, defying the bears, but at recent prices around $142, it’s off 36% from its 52-week high of $221.The alt-meat trend is going strong, and Beyond is working its way into more restaurants and supermarkets, while expanding its product line. But alt-meat rivals are gaining traction. Beyond’s profits aren’t expected to roll in until 2022, when the firm is anticipated to earn 23 cents a share. At that level of profit, the stock trades at 621 times earnings.Stocks like Beyond trade on underlying business momentum, making earnings less of a share-price driver. Still, it isn’t encouraging that Wall Street sees the losses piling up. Per-share estimates for 2021 have been lowered 12% in the last week, according to FactSet, and 2021 estimates are down 190% in the past three months.Meanwhile, First Solar (FSLR) is riding a wave of investor demand for green stocks from ESG funds and others looking for exposure to clean energy. The company, which makes solar power systems and modules, has gained 124% over the last 52 weeks. The company has reported strong sales and bookings, but the stock is also baking in friendly climate policies from the Biden administration.The stock has been wavering, however, after its big run. It has slumped 17% this year and it’s off more than 20% from 52-week highs around $112, recently trading around $82. Despite a favorable backdrop for green energy, First Solar’s sales and earnings are expected to fall slightly from 2021 to 2022. The stock trades at 24 times 2022 earnings, a premium to the market.Other large-cap stocks that make Wolfe’s blowup watch list include BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN), Zendesk (ZEN), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Zendesk and AMD are each up more than 100% over the last year, while BioMarin has been flat. All trade at steep valuations, with Zendesk topping the list at 130 times 2022 earnings estimates.A blowup may not be imminent in any of these names, but stocks without a significant profit in sight may fall sharply if market jitters resurface and investors start to appreciate higher earnings quality.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":165,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350309398,"gmtCreate":1616156734914,"gmtModify":1704791635594,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"gamestop??&nbsp;","listText":"gamestop??&nbsp;","text":"gamestop??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350309398","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":459,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344030657,"gmtCreate":1618359171179,"gmtModify":1704709567514,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"so you are the cause of it .&nbsp;","listText":"so you are the cause of it .&nbsp;","text":"so you are the cause of it .","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344030657","repostId":"1101557658","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350681963,"gmtCreate":1616201298852,"gmtModify":1704792094406,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"apple is overpriced now&nbsp;","listText":"apple is overpriced now&nbsp;","text":"apple is overpriced now","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350681963","repostId":"1147443878","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1147443878","pubTimestamp":1616117641,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147443878?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock Is A Strong Buy, Expert Says.

Wedbush thinks that Apple could announce a production partner this summer, and soon kickstart its fight for share in this promising new market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":350,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325840833,"gmtCreate":1615888804422,"gmtModify":1704787974289,"author":{"id":"3578303104730307","authorId":"3578303104730307","name":"Yu_Zero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e5d31255906046230458366e355b62","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578303104730307","authorIdStr":"3578303104730307"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"bravo","listText":"bravo","text":"bravo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325840833","repostId":"1124726208","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124726208","pubTimestamp":1615854446,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124726208?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-16 08:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Is Now the ‘Technoking’ of Tesla.

Amazon</b></p>\n<p>FAANG member&nbsp;Amazon has actually built not one, but several platforms that will be central to our near and long-term economic future. Of note, Amazon pioneered the idea of cloud computing, allowing businesses to safely plug into computing and storage capability as needed, instead of having to build it themselves. Today, Amazon Web Services is far and away the number one cloud platform, bringing in $45.4 billion in revenue last year, while growing 30% with 30% operating margins.</p>\n<p>And of course, Amazon was the pioneer in realizing the promise of e-commerce back at the dawn of the internet. Through years and decades of consistent improvements and investment, Amazon can now deliver just about any item under sun, and many in just one day for Prime subscribers. With Amazon recently investing in its own air shipping platform, including a new stake in air freight partner&nbsp;<b>Air Transport Services Group</b>(NASDAQ:ATSG)&nbsp;and an investment in Rivian to produce electric last-mile delivery vehicles, look for Amazon to continue to improve its best-in-class e-commerce delivery platform in the years ahead.</p>\n<p>Amazon's platforms also extend to media and entertainment. Not only does Amazon have one of the leading streaming services in Prime Video, but its Fire Stick is becoming an essential connected TV advertising platform. The beauty of&nbsp; Amazon's Fire stick is that it can marry consumption data from its e-commerce platform to target advertising over its connected streaming TV platform. Last quarter, Amazon once again led the global market in connected TV device sales, growing 36% year-over-year and with 12.1% market share. That should power Amazon's ascendant and high-margin digital advertising business for years as well.</p>\n<p>Having leading cloud, e-commerce, and digital ad platforms should make Amazon a strong grower in the years ahead, even&nbsp;post-pandemic.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8620cc076f6e121707e32c9f107f4cca\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1250\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: TESLA.</span></p>\n<p><b>2. Tesla</b></p>\n<p>There's a lot of controversy over the battleground stock of Tesla. Bulls claim it will become the most valuable, game-changing technology company in the world, while bears claim it's just another car company headed by a social media-addicted snake oil salesman. The answer likely lies somewhere in between, but I would definitely lean more toward the former than the latter.</p>\n<p>Tesla currently leads the&nbsp;electric vehicle market, with roughly 69% EV market share in the U.S. and 18% share worldwide, more than three times its closest competitor.&nbsp;Say what you want about CEO Elon Musk's behavior and the stock's valuation, but no one can deny Tesla has established a world-class, mass-market EV brand faster than many legacy automakers thought possible. And that disruption should continue well into the future; management forecasts a stunning 50% annualized growth rate over the next several years as the company further penetrates China and Europe.</p>\n<p>Most people understand Tesla's vehicles, but how is Tesla going to become a \"platform?\" The key will be its full self-driving software, which the company hopes will give it a leading autonomous taxi network in the future, whenever regulations allow. Unlike other companies such as Waymo, which uses LiDAR sensors to achieve full self-driving, Tesla arms its current vehicles with eight video cameras, all of which constantly record 360 degree video and beams visual data back to Tesla, where that data is loaded into the company's neural network. That neural network is constantly improving Tesla's FSD platform, and according to Musk, the company's full self-driving software will be able to meet or exceed human driver safety by the end of this year. \"This is a big deal,\" Musk said on the recent&nbsp;conference call with analysts.</p>\n<p>Armed with a proprietary self-driving chip, Tesla believes it can win the battle for autonomy, allowing current Tesla owners to potentially \"rent out\" their cars to others when not using their vehicle. It appears from recent statements that Musk believes Tesla will receive software-like annuity streams from such a service, thereby justifying Tesla's current sky-high valuation. Musk said he was also open to licensing Tesla's self-driving software to other automakers as well.</p>\n<p>The stock is no doubt expensive if you view the company purely as an automaker. However, if you believe in the full self-driving story, when you combine Tesla's product portfolio across electric cars and trucks, battery production, autonomous software, along with solar panels and large-scale energy storage, Tesla could become a major clean energy platform over the long-term. How much you want to pay for that scenario is, of course, up to each investor.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b2d14fc6d47987bee87b382006cf500\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1500\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>3. Illumina</b></p>\n<p>Another form of technology is&nbsp;biotechnology, and one major development in biotech is the use of genetic testing. Genetic testing was formerly very expensive and only used by research organizations, governments, and universities, but leading genetic testing platform&nbsp;<b>Illumina</b>(NASDAQ:ILMN)&nbsp;has done a great job of bringing down the costs of genetic testing over time.</p>\n<p>With 90% of all genetic sequence data having been run on Illumina's machines, Illumina is a dominant and crucial technology platform paving the way for the future of medicine. Just since 2007, when Illumina introduced its first gene sequencing system, the company has brought down costs by a factor of 10,000. Still, Illumina isn't standing still, as it hopes to cut its $600 costs per genome to $100 in the near future. If Illumina can get to that level, it will open up an era of truly personalized medicine.</p>\n<p>Due to falling costs, genomic sequencing has expanded beyond pure research environments to clinical settings, changing the way doctors treat and screen a variety of diseases, from oncology to pre-natal testing. In fact, 55 types of cancer treatments&nbsp;now require a companion genetic test. And Illumina just doubled down on cancer screening with the $8 billion acquisition of GRAIL, a \"downstream\" company that uses Illumina's platform to build tools for multi-cancer screening.</p>\n<p>And don't forget the potential tailwind from COVID. COVID vaccines were, after all, produced from data gleaned from Illumina's machines. Currently, Illumina is helping governments track new COVID variants as they crop up around the world.</p>\n<p>In the future, you can bet that there will be increased emphasis on genetic surveillance for infectious diseases and future outbreaks. That should add just one more tailwind to this critical biotech platform this decade and beyond.</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>These 3 Tech Stocks Are Building the Future</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\">\nThese 3 Tech Stocks Are Building the Future\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-15 13:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/14/these-3-tech-stocks-are-building-the-future/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For long-term investors, the recent tech sell-off has discounted the following companies building the crucial technology platforms of tomorrow.\nSure, technology stocks have had a rough go of it of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/14/these-3-tech-stocks-are-building-the-future/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMZN":"亚马逊","ILMN":"Illumina","TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/14/these-3-tech-stocks-are-building-the-future/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1184730448","content_text":"For long-term investors, the recent tech sell-off has discounted the following companies building the crucial technology platforms of tomorrow.\nSure, technology stocks have had a rough go of it of late, but let's face it: Over the longer-term, the world will become more digital, smarter, and automated.

Today, Amazon Web Services is far and away the number one cloud platform, bringing in $45.4 billion in revenue last year, while growing 30% with 30% operating margins.\nAnd of course, Amazon was the pioneer in realizing the promise of e-commerce back at the dawn of the internet. Through years and decades of consistent improvements and investment, Amazon can now deliver just about any item under sun, and many in just one day for Prime subscribers. With Amazon recently investing in its own air shipping platform, including a new stake in air freight partner Air Transport Services Group(NASDAQ:ATSG) and an investment in Rivian to produce electric last-mile delivery vehicles, look for Amazon to continue to improve its best-in-class e-commerce delivery platform in the years ahead.\nAmazon's platforms also extend to media and entertainment. Not only does Amazon have one of the leading streaming services in Prime Video, but its Fire Stick is becoming an essential connected TV advertising platform. The beauty of  Amazon's Fire stick is that it can marry consumption data from its e-commerce platform to target advertising over its connected streaming TV platform. Last quarter, Amazon once again led the global market in connected TV device sales, growing 36% year-over-year and with 12.1% market share. That should power Amazon's ascendant and high-margin digital advertising business for years as well.\nHaving leading cloud, e-commerce, and digital ad platforms should make Amazon a strong grower in the years ahead, even post-pandemic.\nIMAGE SOURCE: TESLA.\n2. Tesla\nThere's a lot of controversy over the battleground stock of Tesla. Bulls claim it will become the most valuable, game-changing technology company in the world, while bears claim it's just another car company headed by a social media-addicted snake oil salesman. The answer likely lies somewhere in between, but I would definitely lean more toward the former than the latter.\nTesla currently leads the electric vehicle market, with roughly 69% EV market share in the U.S. and 18% share worldwide, more than three times its closest competitor. Say what you want about CEO Elon Musk's behavior and the stock's valuation, but no one can deny Tesla has established a world-class, mass-market EV brand faster than many legacy automakers thought possible. And that disruption should continue well into the future; management forecasts a stunning 50% annualized growth rate over the next several years as the company further penetrates China and Europe.\nMost people understand Tesla's vehicles, but how is Tesla going to become a \"platform?\" The key will be its full self-driving software, which the company hopes will give it a leading autonomous taxi network in the future, whenever regulations allow. Unlike other companies such as Waymo, which uses LiDAR sensors to achieve full self-driving, Tesla arms its current vehicles with eight video cameras, all of which constantly record 360 degree video and beams visual data back to Tesla, where that data is loaded into the company's neural network. That neural network is constantly improving Tesla's FSD platform, and according to Musk, the company's full self-driving software will be able to meet or exceed human driver safety by the end of this year. \"This is a big deal,\" Musk said on the recent conference call with analysts.\nArmed with a proprietary self-driving chip, Tesla believes it can win the battle for autonomy, allowing current Tesla owners to potentially \"rent out\" their cars to others when not using their vehicle. It appears from recent statements that Musk believes Tesla will receive software-like annuity streams from such a service, thereby justifying Tesla's current sky-high valuation. Musk said he was also open to licensing Tesla's self-driving software to other automakers as well.\nThe stock is no doubt expensive if you view the company purely as an automaker. However, if you believe in the full self-driving story, when you combine Tesla's product portfolio across electric cars and trucks, battery production, autonomous software, along with solar panels and large-scale energy storage, Tesla could become a major clean energy platform over the long-term. How much you want to pay for that scenario is, of course, up to each investor.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\n3. Illumina\nAnother form of technology is biotechnology, and one major development in biotech is the use of genetic testing. Genetic testing was formerly very expensive and only used by research organizations, governments, and universities, but leading genetic testing platform Illumina(NASDAQ:ILMN) has done a great job of bringing down the costs of genetic testing over time.\nWith 90% of all genetic sequence data having been run on Illumina's machines, Illumina is a dominant and crucial technology platform paving the way for the future of medicine. Just since 2007, when Illumina introduced its first gene sequencing system, the company has brought down costs by a factor of 10,000. Still, Illumina isn't standing still, as it hopes to cut its $600 costs per genome to $100 in the near future. If Illumina can get to that level, it will open up an era of truly personalized medicine.\nDue to falling costs, genomic sequencing has expanded beyond pure research environments to clinical settings, changing the way doctors treat and screen a variety of diseases, from oncology to pre-natal testing. In fact, 55 types of cancer treatments now require a companion genetic test. And Illumina just doubled down on cancer screening with the $8 billion acquisition of GRAIL, a \"downstream\" company that uses Illumina's platform to build tools for multi-cancer screening.\nAnd don't forget the potential tailwind from COVID. COVID vaccines were, after all, produced from data gleaned from Illumina's machines. Currently, Illumina is helping governments track new COVID variants as they crop up around the world.\nIn the future, you can bet that there will be increased emphasis on genetic surveillance for infectious diseases and future outbreaks. That should add just one more tailwind to this critical biotech platform this decade and beyond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
