Intuitive Surgical</h2>\n<p>Whether you're a newbie investor or have years of stock trading experience under your belt, investing in healthcare stocks can be an excellent way to stabilize your portfolio against rough patches and generate sustainable long-term returns in a variety of markets. Among the many great things about investing in healthcare stocks is that there's something for every type of investor, from growth stocks to value stocks to dividend stocks.</p>\n<p>One of my favorite high-growth healthcare stocks is <b>Intuitive Surgical</b> (NASDAQ:ISRG), the leader in robotic-assisted surgery (it controls about 80% of this global market). The company is known for its flagship product, the da Vinci surgical system, used in a range of minimally invasive procedures, as well as its Ion lung biopsy system. Many patients delayed medical procedures at the height of the pandemic in 2020, which had a negative impact on the company's sales, but Intuitive Surgical's balance sheet rebounded quickly. It closed out 2020 with only a 3% decline in sales for the full year, coupled with a fourth-quarter revenue surge of 4% year over year.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical's most recent quarterly report was a testament to its continued recovery from pandemic headwinds. During the second quarter, the company's net income popped 72% year over year. In addition, shipments of its da Vinci Surgical Systems and procedures utilizing these systems increased by 84% and 68%, respectively, from the year-ago quarter.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical has a solid track record of delivering substantial share-price appreciation. The stock is up by well over 700% from where it was trading a decade ago. Even with its upcoming stock split, Intuitive Surgical's growth streak is far from over. A long-term investment in the company could generate substantial returns as Intuitive Surgical's market dominance drives continued balance-sheet gains and translates to further spikes in the stock price.</p>\n<h2>2. Amazon</h2>\n<p>As an investor, it's often tempting to look for the newest kid on the block with the hopes that if you buy into a company early enough, you can garner explosive portfolio gains. While there's nothing wrong with incorporating high-quality small-cap stocks into a balanced portfolio, there's also something incredibly attractive about a tried-and-true company that you can keep returning to again and again for dependable returns.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) is most certainly an example of this. After nearly 30 years in business, the company has proven time and time again that its ability to dominate high-growth markets and generate new sources of revenue is virtually limitless. From operating in the multi-trillion-dollar e-commerce industry to cloud computing to grocery retail to the explosive world of digital entertainment, Amazon's diverse and high-performing portfolio of businesses gives it a strong competitive moat.</p>\n<p>Quarter after quarter, Amazon delivers exceptional earnings growth that consistently translates to healthy stock-price increases. In the most recent quarter, the company reported that its net sales grew 27% year over year and its net income increased 50% from the year-ago period. The company continues to maintain a solid level of liquidity, and as of the end of the second quarter, its total current assets of about $141 billion more than surpassed its total current liabilities of about $118 billion.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, shares of Amazon have risen about 13% over the past six months alone. The stock is trading about 350% higher than just five years ago. And if the nearly $3,500 price tag for a single share of Amazon has you sweating, thank goodness for fractional investing, which allows you to invest in this unstoppable stock at the exact dollar amount that works for you.</p>\n<h2>3. Shopify</h2>\n<p>Another high-flying stock that has become quite popular with Robinhood investors and is also a great long-term investment is the well-known e-commerce platform <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP). The company has rapidly gained ground in the highly competitive e-commerce platform space. According to Statista, Shopify is the third largest e-commerce software platform globally, currently capturing an 11% share of this market.</p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, shares of Shopify keep soaring ever higher as the e-commerce industry explodes and the company gobbles up market share. The stock is up about 60% from where it was trading just 12 months ago. And looking back at a five-year snapshot of the stock's growth, it's shot up by nearly 3,500%.</p>\n<p>The most recent quarter was a record period of growth for Shopify. It hit $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever ($1.1 billion, to be precise), which represented a 57% increase from its revenue in the year-ago period. Shopify also generated remarkable net income growth in the second quarter of 2021: Its bottom line surged by more than 2,300% year over year. Merchant solutions and subscription solutions revenue jumped by 52% and 70%, respectively, in the second quarter, while monthly recurring revenue shot up 67% from the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>Shopify's platform makes it incredibly easy for entrepreneurs with all types of visions and brand goals to get their businesses up, running, and scaled. With an array of plug-ins that allow Shopify store owners to source products, seamlessly integrate various payment systems, and more, the appeal of the platform is that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> needn't be a software genius to use it and build a visually appealing store. While Shopify's platform has become an incredibly popular option with smaller, home-based businesses, some of today's most well-known brands also use the platform as the launching pad for their online store. KKW Beauty, Fitbit, and Penguin Books are all customers. Shopify's ability to appeal companies of all sizes and across a broad swath of industries gives it a competitive advantage that makes it a high-powered investment for all types of portfolios.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Robinhood Stocks to Buy and Hold 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\">\n3 Robinhood Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-14 23:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/14/3-robinhood-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-forever/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Robinhood Markets' trading app has become synonymous with the boom of millennial retail investors.

And looking back at a five-year snapshot of the stock's growth, it's shot up by nearly 3,500%.\nThe most recent quarter was a record period of growth for Shopify. It hit $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever ($1.1 billion, to be precise), which represented a 57% increase from its revenue in the year-ago period. Shopify also generated remarkable net income growth in the second quarter of 2021: Its bottom line surged by more than 2,300% year over year. Merchant solutions and subscription solutions revenue jumped by 52% and 70%, respectively, in the second quarter, while monthly recurring revenue shot up 67% from the year-ago period.\nShopify's platform makes it incredibly easy for entrepreneurs with all types of visions and brand goals to get their businesses up, running, and scaled. With an array of plug-ins that allow Shopify store owners to source products, seamlessly integrate various payment systems, and more, the appeal of the platform is that one needn't be a software genius to use it and build a visually appealing store. While Shopify's platform has become an incredibly popular option with smaller, home-based businesses, some of today's most well-known brands also use the platform as the launching pad for their online store. KKW Beauty, Fitbit, and Penguin Books are all customers. Shopify's ability to appeal companies of all sizes and across a broad swath of industries gives it a competitive advantage that makes it a high-powered investment for all types of portfolios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888463607,"gmtCreate":1631519354509,"gmtModify":1676530564091,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?&nbsp;","listText":"?&nbsp;","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/888463607","repostId":"1127947312","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127947312","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1631515134,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127947312?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-13 14:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop, Cameco, Apple, Tesla, AMC: Stocks Buzzing On WallStreetBets Heading Into New Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127947312","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Heading into a new trading week,GameStop Corp.,Cameco Corp.,Apple Inc.,Tesla Inc. and AMCEntertainme","content":"<p>Heading into a new trading week,<b>GameStop Corp.</b>,<b>Cameco Corp.</b>,<b>Apple Inc.</b>,<b>Tesla Inc</b>.&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>AMCEntertainment Holdings Inc.</b>&nbsp;are among the stocks seeing the highest interest on Reddit’s&nbsp;<b>r/WallStreetBets</b>&nbsp;forum.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened</b>: Exchange-traded fund&nbsp;<b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b>&nbsp;is seeing the highest interest on the forum with 125 mentions as at press time, followed by videogame retailer GameStop and uranium producer Cameco with 35 mentions each, data from Quiver Quantitative showed.</p>\n<p>Tech giant Apple and electric vehicle maker Tesla attracted 31 and 19 mentions, respectively.</p>\n<p>Apart from movie theatre chain AMC Entertainment, the other stocks that are trending on the forum include Medicare Advantage provider&nbsp;<b>Clover Health Investments Corp.</b>, Canada-based cybersecurity provider&nbsp;<b>BlackBerry Limited</b>&nbsp;and technology-based personal insurance company&nbsp;<b>Root Inc</b>..</p>\n<p>In addition to these stocks, investors are looking ahead to the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for August from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday.</p>\n<p><b>Why It Matters</b>: Cameco’s shares gained more than 6% in Friday’s trading and also touched a new 52-week high of $25.08, reflecting rising uranium prices and brightening prospects for the uranium industry.</p>\n<p>Apple is seeing high interest on the WSB forum ahead of its&nbsp;first hardware unveiling&nbsp;this year, dubbed “<b>California Streaming</b>,” to be held on Sept. 14.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Apple’s shares were also hit on Friday by a&nbsp;ruling&nbsp;issued by a U.S. judge on the antitrust lawsuit brought by “Fortnite” games developer&nbsp;<b>Epic Games</b>.

The Treasury curve remains close to the flattest level in a year, signaling the market’s concern a hawkish Federal Reserve will derail growth in the world’s largest economy. The euro inched up amid a broadly weaker dollar, to trade at around $1.1850.<b>The pound brushed off the latest GDP data which showed the U.K. economy barely grew in July.</b>The Australian and New Zealand dollars were among the top G-10 performers as U.S.-China talks spurred hopes of improved relations between the two nations.

The bear-steepening move pushed 30-year yields back toward Thursday’s pre-auction level. Treasuries traded heavy in Asia as local stocks closed higher following a telephone call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.&nbsp; Among European markets, Germany’s benchmark 10-year government bond yield was flat after the ECB move, but Greek yields fell for the second day as markets continued to view the bank’s cautious approach as a positive. Peripheral spreads widened slightly, with 10y BTP/Bund spread near 104bps.</p>\n<p><b>In commodities, </b>oil gained ground on signs of tight U.S. supplies after Hurricane Ida hit offshore output, with Brent crude up 1.7% at $72.67 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude at $69.29 a barrel, up 1.7%. Base metals extend the week’s gains: LME aluminum outperforms, adding a further 2%, gaining over 6% since Monday.

While you may be able to buy a Big Mac with a sliver of Bitcoin in San Salvador, you may be better off keeping it in your digital wallet–or not–depending on the time of day.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880027986,"gmtCreate":1631002506145,"gmtModify":1676530439312,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;like pls&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;like pls&nbsp;","text":"[Smile] [Smile] [Smile] like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/880027986","repostId":"1190153270","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190153270","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1631002085,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190153270?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-07 16:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea reached record high in pre-market trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190153270","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 7) Sea reached record high in pre-market trading Tuesday.\nSea Ltd's Shopee is preparing to lau","content":"<p>(Sept 7)&nbsp;Sea reached record high in pre-market trading&nbsp;Tuesday.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4e4b0288d320c178ce3ce27e45bdb98\" tg-width=\"1057\" tg-height=\"527\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Sea Ltd's Shopee is preparing to launch in Poland and is currently recruiting sellers, two company sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.</p>\n<p>The move will be the first expansion into European e-commerce for the $190 billion Singapore-headquartered technology group, whose gaming arm Garena is already active in the region.</p>\n<p>Shopee is simultaneously preparing to launch in India, Reuters reported last week, after aggressively expanding in Latin America since earlier this year.</p>\n<p>One of the sources told Reuters that Shopee is cautiously scaling up its global expansion by testing out possible new markets.</p>\n<p>The two sources, who requested anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to media, said Shopee will also launch in Argentina in the coming months.</p>\n<p>The firm is already the dominant player in e-commerce in Southeast Asia, according to market researchers, bringing in $1.2 billion globally in revenue for the quarter ending June 30.</p>\n<p>Polish news website Wiadomoscihandlowe.pl first reported the Shopee expansion into Poland.

Consensus economists expect to see that a still-robust 750,000 jobs came back in August, according to Bloomberg data. This would represent a significant print by pre-pandemic standards, but still mark a deceleration from July's increase of 943,000 jobs.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b>&nbsp;Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He&nbsp;attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.&nbsp;He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&amp;T Inc.'s</b>&nbsp;T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with&nbsp;<b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b>&nbsp;which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in&nbsp;sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b>&nbsp;in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&amp;T and&nbsp;<b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to&nbsp;<b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for&nbsp;<b>CompuServe</b>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<b>H&amp;R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with&nbsp;<b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit —&nbsp;except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”</p>\n<p>While Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom —&nbsp;which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country —&nbsp;announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a&nbsp;senior manager ordering&nbsp;a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The company’s chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project —&nbsp;and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named&nbsp;<b>Kim Amigh</b>in the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh —&nbsp;three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit&nbsp;<b>Cynthia Cooper</b>&nbsp;learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 —&nbsp;except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbers’ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000&nbsp;— and then borrowed again&nbsp;and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure&nbsp;later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Road’s End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”\nBut ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.\nA Man In Search Of Himself: Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'s T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with Long Distance Discount Services, which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\n“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.\nWithin 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.\nMany of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of Advanced Telecommunications Corporation in 1992.\nThe unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and Sprint Corporation,both considerably larger players in this field.\nThe one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for CompuServe from H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit — except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\n“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.\nAnd for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”\nWhile Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.\nIn retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.\nDetour Off The Cliff:The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom — which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country — announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier.

MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.\nWith the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.\nWorldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.\nThe company’s chief technical officer,Fred Briggs,then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project — and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.\nA WorldCom budget analyst named Kim Amighin the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh — three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.\nBut Vice President of Internal Audit Cynthia Cooper learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 — except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.\nCooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy.

Or is this historically cyclical sector up to its old tricks and headed into a sustained downtrend that will rip your face off.</p>\n<p>A lot depends on your timeline but if you like to own stocks for years rather than rent them for days, the group is a buy. The chief reason: “It’s different this time.”</p>\n<p>Those are admittedly among the scariest words in investing. But the chip sector has changed so much it really is different now – in ways that suggest it is less likely to crush you.</p>\n<p>You’d be a fool to think there are no risks. I’ll go over those. But first, here are the three main reasons why the group is “safer” now – and six names favored by the half-dozen sector experts I’ve talked with over the past several days.</p>\n<p><b>1. The wicked witch of cyclicality is dead</b></p>\n<p>“Demand in the chip sector was always boom and bust, driven by product cycles,” says David Winborne, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management. “<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a> PCs, then servers, then phones.” But now demand for chips has broadened across the economy so the secular growth story is more predictable, he says.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> look around you. Because of the increased “digitalization” of our lives and work, there’s greater diversity of end market demand from all angles. Think remote office services like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a>, online shopping, cloud services, electric vehicles, 5G phones, smart factories, big data computing and even washing machines, points out Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager and tech analyst at Gabelli Funds who is bullish on the group.</p>\n<p>“There is no aspect of the modern digital economy that can function without semiconductors,” says Motley Fool chip sector analyst John Rotonti. “That means more chips going into everything. The long-term demand is there.”</p>\n<p>He’s not kidding. Chip sector revenue will double by 2030 to $1 trillion from $465 billion in 2020, predicts William&nbsp;Blair&nbsp;analyst Greg Scolaro.</p>\n<p>All of this means the widespread supply shortages you’ve been hearing about “likely won’t be cured until sometime late next year,” says <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> chip sector analyst Vivek Arya. “That’s not just our view, but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> confirmed by a majority of large customers.”</p>\n<p><b>2. The players have consolidated</b></p>\n<p>All up and down the production chain, from design through the various types of equipment producers to manufacturing, industry players have consolidated down into what Rotonti calls “earned” duopolies or monopolies.</p>\n<p>In chip design software, you have Cadence Design Systems&nbsp;and Synopsys.In production equipment, companies dominate specialized niches like ASML&nbsp;in extreme ultraviolet lithography&nbsp;(EUV). Manufacturing is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;and Samsung Electronics.</p>\n<p>These companies earned their niche or duopoly status by being the best at what they do. This makes them interesting for investors. The consolidation also means players behave more rationally in terms of pricing and production capacity, says Rotonti.</p>\n<p><b>3. Profitability has improved</b></p>\n<p>This more rational behavior, combined with cost cutting, means profitability is now much higher than it was historically. “The economics of chip making has improved massively over past few years,” says Winbourne. Cash flow or EBITDA margins are often now over 30% whereas a decade ago they were in the 20% range.</p>\n<p>This has implications for valuation.

Or is this historically cyclical sector up to its old tricks and headed into a sustained downtrend that will rip your face off.\nA lot depends on your timeline but if you like to own stocks for years rather than rent them for days, the group is a buy. The chief reason: “It’s different this time.”\nThose are admittedly among the scariest words in investing. But the chip sector has changed so much it really is different now – in ways that suggest it is less likely to crush you.\nYou’d be a fool to think there are no risks. I’ll go over those. But first, here are the three main reasons why the group is “safer” now – and six names favored by the half-dozen sector experts I’ve talked with over the past several days.\n1. The wicked witch of cyclicality is dead\n“Demand in the chip sector was always boom and bust, driven by product cycles,” says David Winborne, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management. “First PCs, then servers, then phones.” But now demand for chips has broadened across the economy so the secular growth story is more predictable, he says.\nJust look around you. Because of the increased “digitalization” of our lives and work, there’s greater diversity of end market demand from all angles. Think remote office services like Zoom, online shopping, cloud services, electric vehicles, 5G phones, smart factories, big data computing and even washing machines, points out Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager and tech analyst at Gabelli Funds who is bullish on the group.\n“There is no aspect of the modern digital economy that can function without semiconductors,” says Motley Fool chip sector analyst John Rotonti. “That means more chips going into everything. The long-term demand is there.”\nHe’s not kidding. Chip sector revenue will double by 2030 to $1 trillion from $465 billion in 2020, predicts William Blair analyst Greg Scolaro.\nAll of this means the widespread supply shortages you’ve been hearing about “likely won’t be cured until sometime late next year,” says Bank of America chip sector analyst Vivek Arya. “That’s not just our view, but one confirmed by a majority of large customers.”\n2. The players have consolidated\nAll up and down the production chain, from design through the various types of equipment producers to manufacturing, industry players have consolidated down into what Rotonti calls “earned” duopolies or monopolies.\nIn chip design software, you have Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys.In production equipment, companies dominate specialized niches like ASML in extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Manufacturing is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung Electronics.\nThese companies earned their niche or duopoly status by being the best at what they do. This makes them interesting for investors. The consolidation also means players behave more rationally in terms of pricing and production capacity, says Rotonti.\n3. Profitability has improved\nThis more rational behavior, combined with cost cutting, means profitability is now much higher than it was historically. “The economics of chip making has improved massively over past few years,” says Winbourne. Cash flow or EBITDA margins are often now over 30% whereas a decade ago they were in the 20% range.\nThis has implications for valuation. Though chip stocks trade at about a market multiple, they appear cheap because they are better companies, points out Lamar Villere, portfolio manager with Villere & Co. “They are not trading at a frothy multiple.”\nThe stocks to buy\nHere are six names favored by chip experts I recently checked in with.\nNew management plays\nThough Peter Karazeris, a senior equity research analyst at Thrivent, has reasons to be cautious on the group (see below), he singles out two companies whose performance may get a boost because they are under new management: Qualcomm and ON Semiconductor.\nBoth have solid profitability. Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. ON Semiconductor is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.\nA data center and gaming play\nKarazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.\nDesign tool companies\nSpeaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys.\nTheir software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.\nAn EUV play\nTo put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML. Its machines use tiny bursts of light to stencil chip designs onto silicon wafers, in a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. “No one else has figured out how to do it,” says Rotonti.\nIn other words, it has a monopoly position in supplying machines that do this – which are necessary for any company that wants to make leading edge chips.\nRisks\nHere are some of the chief risks for chip sector investors to watch.\nOversupply\nChip production has become politicized. The U.S. wants more production at home so it is not vulnerable to disruptions in Chinese supply chains. China wants to make 70% of the chips it uses by 2025, up from 5% now, says Winborne.\nThe upshot here is that there’s lots of government support to boost manufacturing – so there will be much more of it. The risk is oversupply at some point in the future.

Thanks to industry tailwinds, accommodating regulation in its home market, and a rollout in Europe, NIO's growth outlook is pretty strong.</p>\n<p>At the same time, however, there are other factors to be considered, such as its valuation and macro uncertainties for Chinese stocks. Overall, NIO looks like one of the more attractive EV pureplays, but investors' worries about Chinese regulation could still prevent shares from rising much this year.</p>\n<p><b>NIO Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>NIO, Inc. has seen its shares move in a wide range over the last year. The stock was as low as $14 and rose to as much as $67 at one point, which resulted in a valuation of well above $100 billion for the company -- quite a lot for a company with annual sales of less than 100,000 vehicles. Since the peak at the beginning of 2021, shares have declined andright now, shares are tradingat $38 per share. This results in a market capitalization of $65 billion, far from a small amount for a company the size of NIO. But analysts are seeing a lot of upside potential from here. The consensus price target of $62 implies a return potential of more than 50% over the next year. Of course there is no guarantee that analyst models are correct and that this price target will be reached.</p>\n<p><b>Will NIO Stock Go Back Up In 2021?</b></p>\n<p>So far 2021 has not been a great year for NIO and other EV pureplays. Following massive enthusiasm by the global investor community in 2020, on the back of fiscal and monetary stimulus and policies that were beneficial for EVs, sentiment has cooled to some extent in 2021. This explains the stock performance of NIO, Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), XPeng(NYSE:XPEV), and others.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e69ff3254bac58ff5189fa9801ab08\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"501\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>EV pureplays have substantially underperformed the broad market year-to-date. Interestingly, legacy auto companies have been the stronger investment so far this year, with Volkswagen(OTCPK:VWAGY), Ford(NYSE:F), and General Motors(NYSE:GM)rising by 30%-70% in 2021 alone, thanks to a more aggressive EV push by these companies (such as Ford's F150 Lightning).</p>\n<p>If a stock is down 20%+ in 2021, it makes sense to ask whether this might reverse.

The company was, surprisingly, able to narrow down its net loss drastically, almost being able to break even during the quarter, on the back of a very strong 127% revenue growth versus the previous year's quarter. Adjusted net losses totaled&nbsp;$50 million&nbsp;during the quarter. It seems relatively likely that NIO will be able to balance that out in the not-too-distant future, as the company has added about $200 million in incremental gross profit over the last year. If NIO were to deliver another year of growth like that while increasing its operating expenses by only $100-$150 million, the company will be able to report a net profit. Above-average profitability is thus a major positive factor for NIO's stock, as is its sales growth track record.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc0f0f50a1e76e7082151332442ab783\" tg-width=\"610\" tg-height=\"319\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: NIO earnings report (linked above)</span></p>\n<p>Apart from Q1 2020, which felt a huge impact of the pandemic, NIO has been able to grow its vehicle sales not only on a year-over-year basis but also sequentially.

This discount exists despite the fact that NIO is growing its sales<i>faster</i>than Tesla, with 68% expected revenue growth in 2022, versus 36% expected revenue growth for Tesla. NIO is thus cheaper and the higher-growth company among the two, which naturally means that NIO could have upside potential if it were to trade at a similar valuation as Tesla.

Thanks to industry tailwinds, accommodating regulation in its home market, and a rollout in Europe, NIO's growth outlook is pretty strong.\nAt the same time, however, there are other factors to be considered, such as its valuation and macro uncertainties for Chinese stocks. Overall, NIO looks like one of the more attractive EV pureplays, but investors' worries about Chinese regulation could still prevent shares from rising much this year.\nNIO Stock Price\nNIO, Inc. has seen its shares move in a wide range over the last year. The stock was as low as $14 and rose to as much as $67 at one point, which resulted in a valuation of well above $100 billion for the company -- quite a lot for a company with annual sales of less than 100,000 vehicles. Since the peak at the beginning of 2021, shares have declined andright now, shares are tradingat $38 per share. This results in a market capitalization of $65 billion, far from a small amount for a company the size of NIO. But analysts are seeing a lot of upside potential from here. The consensus price target of $62 implies a return potential of more than 50% over the next year. Of course there is no guarantee that analyst models are correct and that this price target will be reached.\nWill NIO Stock Go Back Up In 2021?\nSo far 2021 has not been a great year for NIO and other EV pureplays. Following massive enthusiasm by the global investor community in 2020, on the back of fiscal and monetary stimulus and policies that were beneficial for EVs, sentiment has cooled to some extent in 2021. This explains the stock performance of NIO, Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), XPeng(NYSE:XPEV), and others.\nData by YCharts\nEV pureplays have substantially underperformed the broad market year-to-date. Interestingly, legacy auto companies have been the stronger investment so far this year, with Volkswagen(OTCPK:VWAGY), Ford(NYSE:F), and General Motors(NYSE:GM)rising by 30%-70% in 2021 alone, thanks to a more aggressive EV push by these companies (such as Ford's F150 Lightning).\nIf a stock is down 20%+ in 2021, it makes sense to ask whether this might reverse. In NIO's case, the answer is unclear, as a case can be made for an improving stock price, but at the same time, there are potential risk factors that could prevent shares from rising much this year.\nOn the plus side, NIO continues to execute well, the company is growing rapidly, and its brand continues to gain traction in its home market. On top of that, NIO is rolling out its cars in Europe this year, thereby opening another avenue for future revenue and earnings growth.\nLooking at the most recent quarterly results, we see that NIO easily outperformed expectations, beating estimates on both lines.

The Wall Street consensus for the fiscal third quarter is for $72.9 billion in revenue and profits of $1 a share. Even analysts who are cautious about the stock think those numbers are too low. For instance, BofA Global Research analyst Wamsi Mohan is projecting revenue of $77 billion, with profits of $1.05 a share, driven by strength across the company’s hardware portfolio.

The analyst says Apple remains his favorite large-cap tech pick, with a “1-2 punch” of services and iPhone demand. He thinks the company can reach the $3 trillion market capitalization level in 2022, from just under $2.5 trillion now. Ives keeps his Outperform rating and $185 target price.</p>\n<p>Canaccord analyst T.

Once the company navigates past earnings, Apple investors will zero in on the fall iPhone launch. (Let’s call it iPhone 13, although Apple hasn’t specifically named the new line.)

More important is his observation that about 250 million of the installed base of nearly 1 billion iPhones are at least 3.5 years old and due for an upgrade.</p>\n<p>As Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty has noted, Apple shares tend to outperform the market heading into the launch of new phones.

That's catching a lot of traders who are short bonds flat-footed in what is known as a \"pain trade.\"\nOne theory for the decline in yields is that investors areworried about economic growth arriving weaker than expected, especially withincreasing COVID Delta variant cases, which would hurt value and cyclical stocks.\nMixed economic data, especially a bigger-than-expected drop in the ISM services index this week, added to the downward momentum on yields.\n\"The market is sort of taking a deep breath,\" said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Société Générale. \"Are those optimistic forecasts (for economic growth and inflation) actually achievable?\"\n\"The (stock) market is great, the question is where's the leadership, what wins the market, because the market still wants to go up and to the right,\" Credit Suisse equity strategist Jonathan Golub said on Bloomberg.\nChina's regulatory actions are also causing market jitters after its crackdown on DiDi. Chinese companies are slumping early andMorgan Stanley says Tesla will likley feel effects as well.\nAnother explation for the yield tumble is that that traders think the Fed is making a mistake in pulling ahead rate hike expectations, which could stifle the recovery.\nA similar situation happened in late 2018 and the Fed ultimately reversed policy.\nBut Jemore Schneider, PIMCO head of short-term portfolio management, told Bloomberg the rate trend is still up, which would bode well for recovery stocks.\n\"We are of the bias that this is a steepening trend propeled by higher growth over that medium term,\" Schneider said.\n\"It all comes down to inflation expectations, and if those expectations are quenched by a more responsive Fed\" that would push asset tapering into the spotlight \"then you can actually see a rally on the back of the curve,\" he added.\n\"But ultimately over time this is a growth story, a recovery story that will lead to higher rates.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":153,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3582716565833595","authorId":"3582716565833595","name":"donutella","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49076ae94aff1662e878a5fdb2ab2a86","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582716565833595","authorIdStr":"3582716565833595"},"content":"Baba yes didi didn't research","text":"Baba yes didi didn't research","html":"Baba yes didi didn't research"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887325494,"gmtCreate":1631980082218,"gmtModify":1676530681595,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like pls&nbsp;","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887325494","repostId":"1171558890","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171558890","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631921912,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171558890?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-18 07:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US IPO Week Ahead: Software, consumer products, and payment tech lead a diverse 14 IPO week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171558890","media":"renaissancecap...","summary":"Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billio","content":"<p>Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billion in the week ahead.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b>&nbsp;Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He&nbsp;attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.&nbsp;He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&amp;T Inc.'s</b>&nbsp;T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with&nbsp;<b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b>&nbsp;which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in&nbsp;sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b>&nbsp;in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&amp;T and&nbsp;<b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to&nbsp;<b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for&nbsp;<b>CompuServe</b>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<b>H&amp;R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with&nbsp;<b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit —&nbsp;except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”</p>\n<p>While Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom —&nbsp;which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country —&nbsp;announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a&nbsp;senior manager ordering&nbsp;a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The company’s chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project —&nbsp;and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named&nbsp;<b>Kim Amigh</b>in the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh —&nbsp;three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit&nbsp;<b>Cynthia Cooper</b>&nbsp;learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 —&nbsp;except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbers’ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000&nbsp;— and then borrowed again&nbsp;and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure&nbsp;later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Road’s End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”\nBut ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.\nA Man In Search Of Himself: Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'s T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with Long Distance Discount Services, which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\n“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting.

He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for CompuServe from H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit — except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\n“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme.

He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.\nIn defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.\nSaid Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831447782,"gmtCreate":1629344169446,"gmtModify":1676530009746,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like&nbsp;","text":"Pls like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831447782","repostId":"1195086612","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195086612","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1629342078,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195086612?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-19 11:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Where Is NIO Stock Likely Headed For The Rest Of 2021?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195086612","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nNIO is growing fast, and its profitability is improving quickly.

The stock was as low as $14 and rose to as much as $67 at one point, which resulted in a valuation of well above $100 billion for the company -- quite a lot for a company with annual sales of less than 100,000 vehicles. Since the peak at the beginning of 2021, shares have declined andright now, shares are tradingat $38 per share. This results in a market capitalization of $65 billion, far from a small amount for a company the size of NIO. But analysts are seeing a lot of upside potential from here. The consensus price target of $62 implies a return potential of more than 50% over the next year. Of course there is no guarantee that analyst models are correct and that this price target will be reached.</p>\n<p><b>Will NIO Stock Go Back Up In 2021?</b></p>\n<p>So far 2021 has not been a great year for NIO and other EV pureplays. Following massive enthusiasm by the global investor community in 2020, on the back of fiscal and monetary stimulus and policies that were beneficial for EVs, sentiment has cooled to some extent in 2021. This explains the stock performance of NIO, Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), XPeng(NYSE:XPEV), and others.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e69ff3254bac58ff5189fa9801ab08\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"501\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>EV pureplays have substantially underperformed the broad market year-to-date. Interestingly, legacy auto companies have been the stronger investment so far this year, with Volkswagen(OTCPK:VWAGY), Ford(NYSE:F), and General Motors(NYSE:GM)rising by 30%-70% in 2021 alone, thanks to a more aggressive EV push by these companies (such as Ford's F150 Lightning).</p>\n<p>If a stock is down 20%+ in 2021, it makes sense to ask whether this might reverse. In NIO's case, the answer is unclear, as a case can be made for an improving stock price, but at the same time, there are potential risk factors that could prevent shares from rising much this year.</p>\n<p>On the plus side, NIO continues to execute well, the company is growing rapidly, and its brand continues to gain traction in its home market. On top of that, NIO is rolling out its cars in Europe this year, thereby opening another avenue for future revenue and earnings growth.</p>\n<p>Looking at the most recent quarterly results, we see that NIO easily outperformed expectations, beating estimates&nbsp;on both lines. The company was, surprisingly, able to narrow down its net loss drastically, almost being able to break even during the quarter, on the back of a very strong 127% revenue growth versus the previous year's quarter. Adjusted net losses totaled&nbsp;$50 million&nbsp;during the quarter. It seems relatively likely that NIO will be able to balance that out in the not-too-distant future, as the company has added about $200 million in incremental gross profit over the last year. If NIO were to deliver another year of growth like that while increasing its operating expenses by only $100-$150 million, the company will be able to report a net profit. Above-average profitability is thus a major positive factor for NIO's stock, as is its sales growth track record.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc0f0f50a1e76e7082151332442ab783\" tg-width=\"610\" tg-height=\"319\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: NIO earnings report (linked above)</span></p>\n<p>Apart from Q1 2020, which felt a huge impact of the pandemic, NIO has been able to grow its vehicle sales not only on a year-over-year basis but also sequentially.

International expansion will, on top of further market share gains in its home market, be an important driver for future revenue growth, as NIO has big plans. The company, which will sell a little less than 100,000 vehicles this year, announced a deal with JAC to grow its production capacity to&nbsp;240,000 vehicles&nbsp;a year. Overall, the growth trajectory continues to look strong, with its brand being well-liked in its home market, its unique battery swapping stations being rolled out in more cities in China, and thanks to European expansion.

This discount exists despite the fact that NIO is growing its sales<i>faster</i>than Tesla, with 68% expected revenue growth in 2022, versus 36% expected revenue growth for Tesla. NIO is thus cheaper and the higher-growth company among the two, which naturally means that NIO could have upside potential if it were to trade at a similar valuation as Tesla. If NIO were to trade at 9.9x 2022's revenue, its shares could climb to $60, which would equate to 50%+ upside potential, and which would be relatively close to the analyst consensus price target.</p>\n<p>It's also possible that NIO will never trade at the valuation Tesla is trading at today, as Tesla's shares could be&nbsp;trading above fair value.

In recent months, Chinese equities, both when it comes to EV players such as NIO and XPeng,andalso when it comes to tech names, have seen major macro headwinds. Chinese regulators have cracked down on online learning platforms and, more recently, on gaming platforms. This has made investors jittery about Chinese equities overall. Many investors seem to fear overreaching regulation in China and are worried about crackdowns, increasing regulation, potential problems for outside investors, and so on.

In that case, it is possible that NIO's stock actually continues to decline, despite ongoing operational success.</p>\n<p>NIO Stock Prediction</p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned factors, it's not possible to forecast where exactly NIO will stand at the end of 2021, or a year from now. Thanks to strong growth and improving profitability, the operational outlook is solid. At the same time, NIO is inexpensive versus other EV players, mainly Tesla.

Profitability has been improving in recent quarters, and NIO is not too far from breaking even -- I believe that this could occur in 2022.

In the long run, I see shares rising considerably, but due to the macro issues in China, shares could still continue to trend sideways in China during 2021, unless sentiment on Chinese equities improves.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":136,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":892558464,"gmtCreate":1628675582958,"gmtModify":1676529817667,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like","listText":"Please like","text":"Please like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/892558464","repostId":"2158928543","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807943371,"gmtCreate":1627998425993,"gmtModify":1703499362456,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please [Happy]&nbsp;","listText":"Like please [Happy]&nbsp;","text":"Like please [Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807943371","repostId":"1168499499","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168499499","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627997574,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168499499?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-03 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US stocks start with gains, Chinese gaming stocks listed in the U.S. slump","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168499499","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(August 3) US stocks start with gains. Dow and S&P 500 within striking distance of record highs.\nTra","content":"<p>(August 3)&nbsp;US stocks start with gains.&nbsp;Dow and S&amp;P 500 within striking distance of record highs.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TBIO\">Translate Bio Inc.</a> surged over 29%,&nbsp;Sanofi to buy Translate Bio for $3.2 Billion in mRNA push.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac2ec4c9d5aac2cca29ef161185f3f43\" tg-width=\"946\" tg-height=\"633\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The big story overnight was China's latest crackdown in which the XInhua-affiliated Economic <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/III\">Information</a> Daily cited Tencent's \"Honor of Kings\" in an article in which it said minors were addicted to online games and called for more curbs on the industry.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.</p>\n<p>None of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's <i>Fast and Furious</i> series entry <i>F9</i>&nbsp;debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question.<i> A Quiet Place, Part II,</i> and <i>Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard</i> were also released in May and June, respectively. <i>Godzilla vs. Kong</i> was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.</p>\n<p>As it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f60e80beb92a6bcec1a0ff4dbc1b82bd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A still-ugly picture</h2>\n<p>The image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June. Also plotted are the company's historical quarterly revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and operating profit (or loss), which is a function of those ticket sales. As the saying goes, read 'em and weep.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F638611%2F081021-amc-fiscal-history.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"403\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data source: AMC Entertainment Holdings. Chart by author. Fiscal data is in millions. Ticket data is in thousands.</span></p>\n<p>Last quarter's 22.1 million tickets sold is around a fourth of the company's usual quarterly ticket sales, around 90 million. Q2's revenue of $444.7 million is roughly a third of the normal figure of $1.3 billion. The most recent results are clearly better than the non-existent numbers being produced a year ago, but still, we're miles away from the pre-pandemic norm. The company's also still deep in the red, reporting an operating loss of $296.6 million and negative adjusted EBITDA of $150.8 million.</p>\n<p>Neither the numbers nor the trend should be surprising, even if analysts and investors alike could only make broad guesses given that the turnaround remains a work in progress. Any revenue and earnings estimate that's even close to the actual reported figure is impressive in light of the circumstances.</p>\n<p>The earnings beat itself, however, has largely obscured more important matters and left important questions unanswered. Chief among these questions is, how much longer will it take the entire movie industry to crawl all the way out of the hole it's still clearly in?</p>\n<h2>From sizzle to fizzle</h2>\n<p>The release of <i>F9</i> in June drew patrons back to theaters, to be sure. Box Office Mojo reports domestic ticket sales of nearly $99 million for that late-June weekend, which was the best weekend the business had seen since February of last year.&nbsp;<b>Walt Disney</b>'s (NYSE:DIS) <i>Black Widow</i> led an even better weekend in early July, leading to $117 million worth of ticket sales in the U.S.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e24f62e8ffec16871093643907bf6e1f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"406\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data source: Box Office Mojo. Chart by author.</span></p>\n<p>Things have clearly cooled off in the meantime, however, despite reasonably splashy titles like<i> Jungle Cruise, Space Jam: A New Legacy</i>, and <i>The Suicide Squad</i> being in theaters. <i>Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard</i> and <i>A Quiet Place, Part II</i> are also still in theaters, offering at least something theatrical to a wide audience. Consumers just aren't as stoked about going to the movies as they were a month ago.</p>\n<p>Can AMC explain these gloomy trends with the resurgence of COVID-19 via the delta variant? Sure, that's a headwind that can't be ignored. Something else that can't be ignored, however, is the fact that<i> Jungle Cruise, The Suicide Squad, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Black Widow,</i> and <i>F9</i> can all be streamed at home.</p>\n<h2>Bottom line</h2>\n<p>This isn't a forecast for a complete collapse of AMC. One way or another, the theater chain will carry on. It may require some sort of reorganization or debt restructuring, but the name will survive.</p>\n<p>The return to normalcy (or profitability) is at least several quarters away, though, and that could be a few rough quarters. In the meantime, this company has to justify an $18.5 billion market cap, never having produced more than a billion dollars' worth of EBITDA in any four-quarter stretch and never having turned an annualized operating profit of more than $265 million in any four-quarter span -- even in its 2018 heyday.</p>\n<p>At the very least, AMC investors should exercise caution.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.\nNone of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's Fast and Furious series entry F9 debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question. A Quiet Place, Part II, and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard were also released in May and June, respectively. Godzilla vs. Kong was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.\nAs it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA still-ugly picture\nThe image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June. Also plotted are the company's historical quarterly revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and operating profit (or loss), which is a function of those ticket sales. As the saying goes, read 'em and weep.\nData source: AMC Entertainment Holdings. Chart by author. Fiscal data is in millions. Ticket data is in thousands.\nLast quarter's 22.1 million tickets sold is around a fourth of the company's usual quarterly ticket sales, around 90 million. Q2's revenue of $444.7 million is roughly a third of the normal figure of $1.3 billion. The most recent results are clearly better than the non-existent numbers being produced a year ago, but still, we're miles away from the pre-pandemic norm. The company's also still deep in the red, reporting an operating loss of $296.6 million and negative adjusted EBITDA of $150.8 million.\nNeither the numbers nor the trend should be surprising, even if analysts and investors alike could only make broad guesses given that the turnaround remains a work in progress. Any revenue and earnings estimate that's even close to the actual reported figure is impressive in light of the circumstances.\nThe earnings beat itself, however, has largely obscured more important matters and left important questions unanswered. Chief among these questions is, how much longer will it take the entire movie industry to crawl all the way out of the hole it's still clearly in?\nFrom sizzle to fizzle\nThe release of F9 in June drew patrons back to theaters, to be sure. Box Office Mojo reports domestic ticket sales of nearly $99 million for that late-June weekend, which was the best weekend the business had seen since February of last year. Walt Disney's (NYSE:DIS) Black Widow led an even better weekend in early July, leading to $117 million worth of ticket sales in the U.S.\nData source: Box Office Mojo. Chart by author.\nThings have clearly cooled off in the meantime, however, despite reasonably splashy titles like Jungle Cruise, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and The Suicide Squad being in theaters. Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and A Quiet Place, Part II are also still in theaters, offering at least something theatrical to a wide audience. Consumers just aren't as stoked about going to the movies as they were a month ago.\nCan AMC explain these gloomy trends with the resurgence of COVID-19 via the delta variant? Sure, that's a headwind that can't be ignored. Something else that can't be ignored, however, is the fact that Jungle Cruise, The Suicide Squad, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Black Widow, and F9 can all be streamed at home.\nBottom line\nThis isn't a forecast for a complete collapse of AMC. One way or another, the theater chain will carry on. It may require some sort of reorganization or debt restructuring, but the name will survive.\nThe return to normalcy (or profitability) is at least several quarters away, though, and that could be a few rough quarters. In the meantime, this company has to justify an $18.5 billion market cap, never having produced more than a billion dollars' worth of EBITDA in any four-quarter stretch and never having turned an annualized operating profit of more than $265 million in any four-quarter span -- even in its 2018 heyday.\nAt the very least, AMC investors should exercise caution. These investors should also start asking exactly how AMC is going to convince a bunch of consumers to fall out of love with streaming new releases at home. There might not be a good answer to that question.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883748556,"gmtCreate":1631277050375,"gmtModify":1676530516429,"author":{"id":"3578371160956810","authorId":"3578371160956810","name":"NadNad","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b9cb8b114a799d8c15172b886370b7e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578371160956810","authorIdStr":"3578371160956810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/883748556","repostId":"1160544799","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160544799","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1631275849,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160544799?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-10 20:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Friday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160544799","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stock Futures Rise; Metals Rally.\nThe 10-year Treasury yield rose 3bps to 1.320%.\noil was back over ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Stock Futures Rise;&nbsp;Metals Rally.</li>\n <li>The 10-year Treasury yield rose 3bps to 1.320%.</li>\n <li>oil was back over $69 a barrel and gold gained.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(Sept 10)&nbsp;Stock futures rose sharply on Friday, suggesting Wall Street was prepared to set aside jitters thatculminated in a four-day losing streak, with investors growing more cautious about the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the economy.</p>\n<p>At 8:13 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 173 points, or 0.50%, S&amp;P 500 E-minis gained 20.75 points, or 0.46% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis jumped 77.75 points, or 0.50%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e6c76200a1c8e7b9888b48085a9cefa\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"502\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Here are some of the biggest US pre-movers today:</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Affirm Holdings (AFRM) shares rally 24% in&nbsp;premarket&nbsp;trading after its 4Q revenue topped estimates, prompting Truist to hike its PT on the stock.</li>\n <li>Iveric Bio (ISEE), a company working on geographic atrophy treatment, surges 34% after Apellis Pharmaceuticals (APLS) said only one of two late-stage studies of its product candidate pegcetacoplan met its main goal.

Peripheral spreads widened slightly, with 10y BTP/Bund spread near 104bps.\nIn commodities, oil gained ground on signs of tight U.S. supplies after Hurricane Ida hit offshore output, with Brent crude up 1.7% at $72.67 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude at $69.29 a barrel, up 1.7%. Base metals extend the week’s gains: LME aluminum outperforms, adding a further 2%, gaining over 6% since Monday.
