Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.</p>\n<p>CEO Joe Hogan said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come.

Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.</p>\n<p>YTD, Ford shares are up over 32%.

The current price supports a dividend yield of 0.99%. As life gets back to normal in the coming months, the company should see higher procedure volumes, translating into stronger revenue.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, our country is aging.

Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.\nCEO Joe Hogan said:\n\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n\nThe pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.\nYear-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April. ALGN stock’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-sales (P/S) ratios are 65.36 and 16.88.\nShort-term profit-taking could put pressure on the shares.

Revenue increased 6% to $36.2 billion. GAAP net income was $3.3 billion, compared to net loss of $2 billion in the prior year quarter.Adjusted earnings per share came at 89 cents.\nCEO Jim Farley regards the Mustang Mach-E GT as Ford’s first serious push into theelectric vehicle(EV) space. Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.\nYTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure. Any further decline toward $10 would improve the risk/return profile.\nIn addition to its legacy business, the new decade will likely see Ford gain gain market share in the growing EV industry. Buy-and-hold investor should put the shares on their radar.\nFreeport-McMoRan(FCX)Source: MICHAEL A JACKSON FILMS / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$7.80 – $44.50\nNext in line is one of the largest copper miners worldwide, the Phoenix,Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan.

To su","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. unveiled a grand plan Tuesday to restore its past chipmaking glory. To succeed, new Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger must embrace a strategy the old Intel never dreamed of: playing nice with rivals.</p>\n<p>“Intel is back. The old Intel is the new Intel,” he said. “We’re going to be leaders in the market and we’re going to satisfy the new foundry customers, because the world needs more semiconductors and we’re going to step into that gap in a powerful and meaningful way.”</p>\n<p>Intel shares jumped 7% on the plan. Yet key parts of the strategy are new territory for a company that’s used to doing everything its own way. Intel has almost always designed and produced its semiconductors in-house. Now, Gelsinger is starting a foundry business that will manufacture chips for other companies. And he also plans to use rivals’ factories to outsource production of more Intel components.</p>\n<p>This will create complex new relationships. For instance, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. runs the world’s leading chip foundry business. Intel is now encroaching on TSMC’s turf, while also expecting this rival to make some of Intel’s best chips.</p>\n<p>“TSMC will do as much for Intel as they feel they have to,” said Matt Ramsay, an analyst at Cowen &amp; Co.</p>\n<p>Before other chip companies commit to using Intel’s factories, it has to fix its own manufacturing problems, the analyst added. Intel’s latest 7-nanometer production process has been delayed and that followed several missed deadlines for the previous 10-nanometer standard. Gelsinger said on Tuesday these issues have been fixed, but analysts are dubious.</p>\n<p>“We simply don’t understand why customers would strongly support an Intel foundry given that Intel is so far behind on process technology, and doesn’t yet possess the standard libraries needed to compete with TSMC,” said Chris Caso, an analyst at Raymond James.</p>\n<p>Charles Shum, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said big technology companies, such as Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc., will hesitate to shift orders to Intel because they compete with the company in designing chips.</p>\n<p>TSMC Can Fight Off Intel Challenge in Chip Manufacturing: React</p>\n<p>Gelsinger began his career at Intel in the 1970s and worked his way up the ranks to run some of its biggest units. He left in 2009 when Intel was approaching its zenith using a strategy he helped put in place. Intel introduced new products and new manufacturing technology at a blistering cadence that competitors couldn’t match, and PC and server customers built their product cycles around it.While he mentioned a return to that “tick-tock” discipline on Tuesday, Gelsinger will have to lean on the recent experience he gained as head of software maker VMware Inc. to navigate a more complex world for Intel.</p>\n<p>During a presentation with analysts on Tuesday, Gelsinger said the way semiconductors are designed and manufactured has changed. Parts of chips can now be made in different places using different technologies, then combined in packages. This helps designers pick and choose what fits their needs best -- and it makes the old Intel model of keeping it all under <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> roof less relevant.</p>\n<p>Intel showed off the logos of Qualcomm and other companies that it said are supporting its foundry push. With rising geopolitical and trade tensions between China and the U.S., customers want suppliers with facilities outside of Taiwan, Intel said.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger is shaking it up further by doing something his predecessors would have deemed sacrilege. Intel used to jealously guard its X86 processor technology, the dominant instruction set for computer microprocessors. Now this will be available as a design if Intel foundry customers want to use it. And they can combine that with rival approaches such as those offered by Arm Ltd. and an open-source standard called RISC-V, he said.Intel has tried and failed as a foundry before. This effort is different because customers will get access to Intel’s best manufacturing techology, Gelsinger said.

To succeed, new Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger must embrace a strategy the old Intel never dreamed of: playing nice with rivals.\n“Intel is back. The old Intel is the new Intel,” he said. “We’re going to be leaders in the market and we’re going to satisfy the new foundry customers, because the world needs more semiconductors and we’re going to step into that gap in a powerful and meaningful way.”\nIntel shares jumped 7% on the plan. Yet key parts of the strategy are new territory for a company that’s used to doing everything its own way. Intel has almost always designed and produced its semiconductors in-house. Now, Gelsinger is starting a foundry business that will manufacture chips for other companies. And he also plans to use rivals’ factories to outsource production of more Intel components.\nThis will create complex new relationships. For instance, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. runs the world’s leading chip foundry business. Intel is now encroaching on TSMC’s turf, while also expecting this rival to make some of Intel’s best chips.\n“TSMC will do as much for Intel as they feel they have to,” said Matt Ramsay, an analyst at Cowen & Co.\nBefore other chip companies commit to using Intel’s factories, it has to fix its own manufacturing problems, the analyst added. Intel’s latest 7-nanometer production process has been delayed and that followed several missed deadlines for the previous 10-nanometer standard. Gelsinger said on Tuesday these issues have been fixed, but analysts are dubious.\n“We simply don’t understand why customers would strongly support an Intel foundry given that Intel is so far behind on process technology, and doesn’t yet possess the standard libraries needed to compete with TSMC,” said Chris Caso, an analyst at Raymond James.\nCharles Shum, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said big technology companies, such as Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc., will hesitate to shift orders to Intel because they compete with the company in designing chips.\nTSMC Can Fight Off Intel Challenge in Chip Manufacturing: React\nGelsinger began his career at Intel in the 1970s and worked his way up the ranks to run some of its biggest units. He left in 2009 when Intel was approaching its zenith using a strategy he helped put in place. Intel introduced new products and new manufacturing technology at a blistering cadence that competitors couldn’t match, and PC and server customers built their product cycles around it.While he mentioned a return to that “tick-tock” discipline on Tuesday, Gelsinger will have to lean on the recent experience he gained as head of software maker VMware Inc. to navigate a more complex world for Intel.\nDuring a presentation with analysts on Tuesday, Gelsinger said the way semiconductors are designed and manufactured has changed. Parts of chips can now be made in different places using different technologies, then combined in packages. This helps designers pick and choose what fits their needs best -- and it makes the old Intel model of keeping it all under one roof less relevant.\nIntel showed off the logos of Qualcomm and other companies that it said are supporting its foundry push. With rising geopolitical and trade tensions between China and the U.S., customers want suppliers with facilities outside of Taiwan, Intel said.\nGelsinger is shaking it up further by doing something his predecessors would have deemed sacrilege. Intel used to jealously guard its X86 processor technology, the dominant instruction set for computer microprocessors. Now this will be available as a design if Intel foundry customers want to use it. And they can combine that with rival approaches such as those offered by Arm Ltd. and an open-source standard called RISC-V, he said.Intel has tried and failed as a foundry before. This effort is different because customers will get access to Intel’s best manufacturing techology, Gelsinger said. And there are at least two new factories being built for the effort.“Our past attempts were somewhat half-hearted,” Gelsinger said. “Customers will get the best we’ve got to offer.”\nNew Intel CEO May Drive Improved EPS, Valuation: Company OutlookTo make his goals clear internally, Gelsinger has set up a separate division called Intel Foundry Services that will report its own financial performance and therefore have to align itself with customers’ interests to guarantee it meets targets.“If he’s really dedicated to the benefits he’s touting today, then this will put Intel on a much more competitive footing,” Loop Capital Markets analyst Cody Acree said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “You are going to get this honeymoon period that Mr. Gelsinger is in today where people are looking for the changes, looking for optimism, anything to hang onto with Intel. That’s the right thing to do.

A return to normal appears to be in sight, and investors are betting big on AMC to take advantage of this pent-up demand.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the \"buy AMC\" thesisis flawed. The reopening catalyst assumes that there'll be no setbacks in major markets, which is unlikely.

If capacity limits don't ease somewhat quickly in key markets, I'm not certain AMC will have enough capital to survive the year -- especially if there are pandemic setbacks.</p>\n<p>But worst of all, AMC's core operating model is now threatened. With consumers stuck in their homes for roughly a year, select streaming services have become competitors.<b>AT&amp;T</b>&nbsp;subsidiary WarnerMedia isreleasing all of its movies in 2021 on HBO Maxthe same day they'll hit theaters.<b>Walt Disney</b>&nbsp;plans to do something similar with a couple of movies on its Disney+ streaming platform.</p>\n<p><b>Forget AMC: These innovative stocks can make you rich</b></p>\n<p>The point being that AMC is a dangerous investment that's liable to lose folks a lot of money. Instead of buying a company that's hanging on by a thread, I'd encourage you to consider purchasing the following three game-changing stocks, all of which have the tools to make you rich.</p>\n<p><b>Ping Identity</b></p>\n<p>Though there are a number of trends that offer double-digit growth potential this decade,cybersecurity might be the safest of the bunch. As more businesses push online and move their data (and that of their customers) onto the cloud, the onus of protecting this data is increasingly going to fall on third-party providers. That's where<b>Ping Identity Holding</b>(NYSE:PING)comes in.</p>\n<p>Whereas most security companies excelled during the pandemic, identity verification specialist Ping Identitystruggled a bit. Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.</p>\n<p>Even though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.</p>\n<p>What's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.</p>\n<p>Ping Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Cresco Labs</b></p>\n<p>Marijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)<b>Cresco Labs</b>(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.</p>\n<p>As with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pending<b>Bluma Wellness</b>buyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.</p>\n<p>Yet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.</p>\n<p>However, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.</p>\n<p>With Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Intuitive Surgical</b></p>\n<p>Lastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,<b>Intuitive Surgical</b>(NASDAQ:ISRG).</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.</p>\n<p>The da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.</p>\n<p>But it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich</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\">\nForget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-19 19:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PING":"Ping Identity Holding","CRLBF":"Cresco Labs Inc.","ISRG":"直觉外科公司"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177407243","content_text":"These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets (WSB) chat room have essentially banded together to buy shares andout-of-the-money call optionson stocks with high levels of short interest.

In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.\nHowever, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.\nWith Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.\nIntuitive Surgical\nLastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,Intuitive Surgical(NASDAQ:ISRG).\nIntuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.\nThe da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.\nBut it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.\nIntuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359388862,"gmtCreate":1616343942456,"gmtModify":1704793020806,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359388862","repostId":"1117450855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117450855","pubTimestamp":1616166767,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117450855?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Powell says Fed will keep supporting economy ‘for as long as it takes’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117450855","media":"marketwatch","summary":"Outlook is brightening, but recovery ‘far from complete,’ Fed chairman says in WSJ op-ed.Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday said that while the U.S. economic outlook is “brightening,” the recovery is “far from complete.”In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal,Powell recounted the moment last February when he realized that the coronavirus pandemic would sweep across the country.“The danger to the U.S. economy was grave.

Even Jim Cramer has jumped aboard.</p>\n<p>As a contrarian, I’ve been suggesting reopening plays in&nbsp;this column&nbsp;and my stock letter (the link is in the bio below) for upwards of a year. They’ve doubled, or more, in many cases. Now it makes me nervous to see the crowd come in. Often that’s a sign a theme is on its last legs.</p>\n<p>Wait, how could the reopening theme be spent even before reopening happens? That’s easy. Often markets price events in six months in advance.</p>\n<p>But I think this one has more to go for a simple reason. I watch corporate insiders closely, and in the past few weeks they have been huge buyers of quintessential reopening plays in dating, travel and retail.</p>\n<p>Here’s a roundup of the purchases that tell me the theme still has legs. The insider buying also suggests these six stocks could extend their outperformance.</p>\n<p><b>Dating is making a comeback</b></p>\n<p>Millions of people cut back on dating because of fears about contracting Covid-19. That’ll change big time during the reopening, providing a boost to the dating app company Bumble.</p>\n<p>We’re already seeing early signs that singles really want to mingle — and not only in the huge spring break gatherings in Florida. Fourth-quarter revenue at Bumble increased 31% compared to a more sluggish 10% growth for all of 2020, weighed down by peak Covid-19 fears during the second and third quarters. Users paying for premium versions of the service increased 32.5% in the fourth quarter, compared to 22.2% growth for the full year.</p>\n<p>Bumble is a dating app with a twist in that only women can initiate contact after parties both indicate an interest by swiping right on profiles. Premium features on the company’s Bumble and Badoo apps allow users to see who swiped right on them, post more personal information and spotlight profiles. Online dating apps are now the most common way for new couples to meet in the U.S., according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).</p>\n<p>Director Pamela Thomas-Graham bought $498,000 worth of stock at $76.23 in mid-February as Bumble came public, and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd&nbsp;bought $21 million worth at $43.</p>\n<p><b>Wanderlust returns</b></p>\n<p>I’ve been suggesting Avis Budget Group&nbsp;in my stock letter since it traded at $31 in early October last year. It’s now up 122% to $69, but I recently suggested subscribers should continue holding. Yes, the pandemic crushed rentals. But people really want to get out and travel. So business at this company will really pick up this year. Avis, which runs the Budget and Zipcar rental brands, is an air travel play.&nbsp; It has a huge presence around airports in North America, Europe and Australasia. Avis has more than 10,600 rental locations.</p>\n<p>Avis did a commendable job of reducing costs during the pandemic by cutting its fleet by 19%. So even though revenue fell 41%, it was not a bankruptcy risk.</p>\n<p>The big buyer who first got me interested in this stock was director Karthik&nbsp;Sarma. His SRS&nbsp;Investment Management bought steadily in size last May-December at $18.57 to $39.20. Avis now represents 11.4% of his portfolio. More recently, CFO Brian Choi took over as the big buyer, purchasing $1.64 million worth of stock at $46-$56 a share in February. Insiders don’t buy for short-term trades so this purchase — along with the reopening travel craze ahead — tells me the stock remains a hold.</p>\n<p><b>Fast-food binge</b></p>\n<p>As the second-largest fast-food burger chain in the U.S., Wendy’s&nbsp;will see a big boost in sales as consumers come out of hiding. Sure, Wendy’s digital business was robust during the pandemic. But improved foot traffic will still drive sales at the chain that specializes in “fresh and crave-able” food at a competitive price, according to CEO Todd Penegor.</p>\n<p>From small beginnings in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969, Wendy’s has grown into the third-largest burger chain in the world, with over 6,800 restaurants. Most of them are franchises, which boosts profit margins. Despite the pandemic, Wendy’s opened 35 restaurants last year, net of closings. That was down from 77 net openings in 2019. But it’ll make up for lost ground in 2021 with around 170 new restaurants, net, to take the total over 7,000.</p>\n<p>Last year, Wendy’s new breakfast menu was a hit, and it expects this to be a growth driver again in 2021. It projects the breakfast business will grow 30% this year, and that it will hit 10% of overall sales by the end of 2022, up from 7% last year.</p>\n<p>Wendy’s expects same-restaurant sales to grow 10% this year, driving 19% earnings growth to $0.67 to $0.69 per share, and 12.5% operating cash flow growth to $320 million at the midpoint of guidance.</p>\n<p>All of this no doubt helps explain why chief legal officer E.J. Wunsch recently bought $142,300 worth of stock at $18.98.</p>\n<p><b>The h</b><b>ousing boom isn’t over yet</b></p>\n<p>With interest rates going up, the home sector is supposedly going to cool off, according to another popular meme these days. But insiders disagree. Recently there was large insider buying at two of the biggest home-related retailers, Wayfair&nbsp;and Lowe’s.Sure, there are company trends that help explain this. But since a third of a stock’s move typically comes from sector performance, this is a statement on housing trends, too. (The other two-thirds of any stock move come from company trends and overall stock market trends.)</p>\n<p>Here’s the 30-year mortgage rate. As you can see, it’s still very low compared with historical averages.</p>\n<p>The bullishness makes sense because mortgage rates remain historically low, points out Jim Paulsen, market strategist at the Leuthold group. That means ongoing interest in home buying and related retailers.</p>\n<p>Insiders certainly buy into this thinking. There was recently a mega-purchase of $13.6 million worth of stock at the home retailer Wayfair, by director Michael Andrew Kumin&nbsp;at around $287 per share. Wayfair has done a great job of connecting with consumers. Sales grew 55% last year in the U.S. and 65% abroad. Customer count grew 54% to 31.2 million in the fourth quarter. Repeat purchases represent more than 70% of its business. Wayfair also works closely with suppliers, helping with logistics, merchandising and marketing, to keep them happy.</p>\n<p>At Lowe’s, director David Batchelder recently bought about $1 million worth of stock at $159.47. The second-largest home-improvement retailer globally after Home Depot,Lowe’s has been improving profit margins, merchandising and inventory since CEO Marvin Ellison took over in 2018, bringing in a new team. But the gains are not over. The company says operating margin will surpass 11% in 2021 and eventually hit 13%, compared to 9% in 2019.</p>\n<p><b>The big get bigger</b></p>\n<p>As the nation’s largest retailer, Walmart&nbsp;stands to benefit from reopening, and all the pent-up demand that will be unleashed as consumers feel more confident and chip away at their record-high savings.

Even Jim Cramer has jumped aboard.\nAs a contrarian, I’ve been suggesting reopening plays in this column and my stock letter (the link is in the bio below) for upwards of a year. They’ve doubled, or more, in many cases. Now it makes me nervous to see the crowd come in. Often that’s a sign a theme is on its last legs.\nWait, how could the reopening theme be spent even before reopening happens? That’s easy. Often markets price events in six months in advance.\nBut I think this one has more to go for a simple reason. I watch corporate insiders closely, and in the past few weeks they have been huge buyers of quintessential reopening plays in dating, travel and retail.\nHere’s a roundup of the purchases that tell me the theme still has legs. The insider buying also suggests these six stocks could extend their outperformance.\nDating is making a comeback\nMillions of people cut back on dating because of fears about contracting Covid-19. That’ll change big time during the reopening, providing a boost to the dating app company Bumble.\nWe’re already seeing early signs that singles really want to mingle — and not only in the huge spring break gatherings in Florida. Fourth-quarter revenue at Bumble increased 31% compared to a more sluggish 10% growth for all of 2020, weighed down by peak Covid-19 fears during the second and third quarters. Users paying for premium versions of the service increased 32.5% in the fourth quarter, compared to 22.2% growth for the full year.\nBumble is a dating app with a twist in that only women can initiate contact after parties both indicate an interest by swiping right on profiles. Premium features on the company’s Bumble and Badoo apps allow users to see who swiped right on them, post more personal information and spotlight profiles. Online dating apps are now the most common way for new couples to meet in the U.S., according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).\nDirector Pamela Thomas-Graham bought $498,000 worth of stock at $76.23 in mid-February as Bumble came public, and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd bought $21 million worth at $43.\nWanderlust returns\nI’ve been suggesting Avis Budget Group in my stock letter since it traded at $31 in early October last year. It’s now up 122% to $69, but I recently suggested subscribers should continue holding. Yes, the pandemic crushed rentals. But people really want to get out and travel. So business at this company will really pick up this year. Avis, which runs the Budget and Zipcar rental brands, is an air travel play.  It has a huge presence around airports in North America, Europe and Australasia. Avis has more than 10,600 rental locations.\nAvis did a commendable job of reducing costs during the pandemic by cutting its fleet by 19%. So even though revenue fell 41%, it was not a bankruptcy risk.\nThe big buyer who first got me interested in this stock was director Karthik Sarma. His SRS Investment Management bought steadily in size last May-December at $18.57 to $39.20. Avis now represents 11.4% of his portfolio. More recently, CFO Brian Choi took over as the big buyer, purchasing $1.64 million worth of stock at $46-$56 a share in February. Insiders don’t buy for short-term trades so this purchase — along with the reopening travel craze ahead — tells me the stock remains a hold.\nFast-food binge\nAs the second-largest fast-food burger chain in the U.S., Wendy’s will see a big boost in sales as consumers come out of hiding. Sure, Wendy’s digital business was robust during the pandemic. But improved foot traffic will still drive sales at the chain that specializes in “fresh and crave-able” food at a competitive price, according to CEO Todd Penegor.\nFrom small beginnings in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969, Wendy’s has grown into the third-largest burger chain in the world, with over 6,800 restaurants. Most of them are franchises, which boosts profit margins. Despite the pandemic, Wendy’s opened 35 restaurants last year, net of closings. That was down from 77 net openings in 2019. But it’ll make up for lost ground in 2021 with around 170 new restaurants, net, to take the total over 7,000.\nLast year, Wendy’s new breakfast menu was a hit, and it expects this to be a growth driver again in 2021. It projects the breakfast business will grow 30% this year, and that it will hit 10% of overall sales by the end of 2022, up from 7% last year.\nWendy’s expects same-restaurant sales to grow 10% this year, driving 19% earnings growth to $0.67 to $0.69 per share, and 12.5% operating cash flow growth to $320 million at the midpoint of guidance.\nAll of this no doubt helps explain why chief legal officer E.J. Wunsch recently bought $142,300 worth of stock at $18.98.\nThe housing boom isn’t over yet\nWith interest rates going up, the home sector is supposedly going to cool off, according to another popular meme these days. But insiders disagree. Recently there was large insider buying at two of the biggest home-related retailers, Wayfair and Lowe’s.Sure, there are company trends that help explain this. But since a third of a stock’s move typically comes from sector performance, this is a statement on housing trends, too. (The other two-thirds of any stock move come from company trends and overall stock market trends.)\nHere’s the 30-year mortgage rate. As you can see, it’s still very low compared with historical averages.\nThe bullishness makes sense because mortgage rates remain historically low, points out Jim Paulsen, market strategist at the Leuthold group. That means ongoing interest in home buying and related retailers.\nInsiders certainly buy into this thinking. There was recently a mega-purchase of $13.6 million worth of stock at the home retailer Wayfair, by director Michael Andrew Kumin at around $287 per share. Wayfair has done a great job of connecting with consumers. Sales grew 55% last year in the U.S. and 65% abroad. Customer count grew 54% to 31.2 million in the fourth quarter. Repeat purchases represent more than 70% of its business. Wayfair also works closely with suppliers, helping with logistics, merchandising and marketing, to keep them happy.\nAt Lowe’s, director David Batchelder recently bought about $1 million worth of stock at $159.47. The second-largest home-improvement retailer globally after Home Depot,Lowe’s has been improving profit margins, merchandising and inventory since CEO Marvin Ellison took over in 2018, bringing in a new team. But the gains are not over. The company says operating margin will surpass 11% in 2021 and eventually hit 13%, compared to 9% in 2019.\nThe big get bigger\nAs the nation’s largest retailer, Walmart stands to benefit from reopening, and all the pent-up demand that will be unleashed as consumers feel more confident and chip away at their record-high savings. This helps explain why Walmart director and former AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recently put $1 million into this retailer’s stock at $129.63.\nWalmart is also investing heavily in automation, which should improve productivity and profit margins.\nMorningstar analyst Zain Akbari forecasts low-single-digit sales growth this year, and over the next decade.\nWalmart is so big that it negotiates favorable terms with vendors to stay competitive, supporting the retailer’s wide moat, says Akbari. If a national $15-an-hour minimum wage ever gets passed, it won’t be devastating to Walmart. It already pays sales associates more than that, on average. And Walmart offers investors a 1.6% dividend yield.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324310166,"gmtCreate":1615962131155,"gmtModify":1704788979388,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"H7pl","listText":"H7pl","text":"H7pl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324310166","repostId":"1127014629","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127014629","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1615961668,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127014629?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 14:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Back to the '70s as Fed fuels boom and hopes for no Burns marks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127014629","media":"Reuters","summary":"Federal Reserve officials are due to issue new economic projections on Wednesday, with GDP growth li","content":"<p>Federal Reserve officials are due to issue new economic projections on Wednesday, with GDP growth likely to be a blow-out number that sets the stage for an historic experiment by U.S. central bank policymakers.</p>\n<p>Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues are betting the economy can take off from the COVID-19 pandemic without generating excessive inflation, and have vowed to keep interest rates at rock-bottom levels and a spigot of money flowing for an extended period as they lean into a potential economic boom in a way not seen since the early 1970s.</p>\n<p>In each of the quarterly forecasts released since June, the median GDP growth projection of Fed officials has been slightly above the median of private forecasters polled by Reuters.

Inflation and unemployment don’t behave as they used to; lower levels of joblessness can now coexist with low inflation.</p>\n<p>The Fed made substantial changes to its policy statement last year encompassing that thinking, and the guidance issued in December is expected to hold for now.

The economy remains about 9 million jobs short of its pre-pandemic level; the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, at 1.5%, is well short of its goal; a new index of slow-moving inflation expectations is also below target.</p>\n<p><b>‘CLEAR-EYED’</b></p>\n<p>Still, it is a pivotal moment as Fed officials issue forecasts incorporating a bounty of new information.</p>\n<p>Since their December projections, more than 100 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States and daily deaths due to the virus have fallen by two-thirds. Optimism has spiked, and states have begun lifting restrictions on businesses and reopening schools. Washington also has approved two new relief packages worth about $2.8 trillion, money now rolling into household and business bank accounts.</p>\n<p>Much has changed since the Burns era, when wages and inflation were tightly linked, the economy relied more on manufacturing and imported oil, and unforeseen shocks from an oil embargo were just ahead. [Related graphic:here]</p>\n<p>The Fed’s new approach, moreover, isn’t an in-the-moment response to political pressure, but a policy shift meant to reflect changes in the economy officials spent years studying.</p>\n<p>With an emphasis on job creation and downplaying inflation, the new framework seemed well suited for the job market crisis spawned by the pandemic. The issue now is how it meshes with an economy that may recover faster than thought possible.</p>\n<p>Analysts at BlackRock have praised the Fed for being “clear-eyed” about the economy’s problems during the pandemic and in its response to it.</p>\n<p>But, wrote Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer of global fixed income, “at some point, the financial stability risks that emanate from an extremely low policy rate, coupled with the real economy boom that we expect, could in fact force the Fed’s hand.”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Back to the '70s as Fed fuels boom and hopes for no Burns marks</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\">\nBack to the '70s as Fed fuels boom and hopes for no Burns marks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1036604489\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Reuters </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-03-17 14:14</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Federal Reserve officials are due to issue new economic projections on Wednesday, with GDP growth likely to be a blow-out number that sets the stage for an historic experiment by U.S. central bank policymakers.</p>\n<p>Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues are betting the economy can take off from the COVID-19 pandemic without generating excessive inflation, and have vowed to keep interest rates at rock-bottom levels and a spigot of money flowing for an extended period as they lean into a potential economic boom in a way not seen since the early 1970s.</p>\n<p>In each of the quarterly forecasts released since June, the median GDP growth projection of Fed officials has been slightly above the median of private forecasters polled by Reuters.

If that holds, it would translate into expected growth this year of more than 6.2% - the highest annual rate in 37 years.\nBut when they issue their policy statement at the end of a two-day meeting on Wednesday, Fed officials are expected to restate what they’ve promised for months now: to keep the central bank’s benchmark overnight interest rate near zero and cash flowing into the economy until Americans are back to work, trusting that inflation will remain contained, as it has been for about 30 years.\nThe economic projections and policy statement are scheduled to be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT). Powell will hold a news conference shortly after, an event that could prove tricky for the Fed chief.\nMarkets predict the Fed may be forced to act sooner than expected. Some policymakers could even hint at that if new projections show more of them anticipate a rate increase sometime in 2023, rather than a year or more later.\nIf a majority see a 2023 hike, “Powell will have his work cut out for him” explaining how that meshes with a promise to get the economy back to full employment before reducing the crisis support rolled out when the pandemic struck, Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors, wrote this week.\nStill, investors are already betting on earlier hikes, and some economists are also raising a red flag along with their forecasts. Morgan Stanley, among the more bullish in predicting the economy will have fully escaped its pandemic hole by September, sees the Fed’s approach producing a “hotter but shorter” business cycle that is likely to prompt it to tighten monetary policy early next year.\nThe coming cycle would be less like the last three expansions - the one ended by the pandemic lasted a decade - and more like the period after World War Two when the intervals between recessions were shorter and intervening growth stronger.\nThat epoch ended when then-President Richard Nixon encouraged loose monetary policy ahead of his 1972 re-election. Arthur Burns, who was the Fed chief at the time, kept interest rates low as the economy accelerated, and is often blamed for the ensuing rampant inflation that dogged the country for a decade.\nThis time is different, Fed officials argue. Indeed, Powell’s legacy may hinge on whether inflation remains tame as the economy recovers, or whether prices spike, forcing the central bank to pull back its support - perhaps with millions of Americans still out of work.\nTheir arguments are well-rehearsed. Inflation and unemployment don’t behave as they used to; lower levels of joblessness can now coexist with low inflation.\nThe Fed made substantial changes to its policy statement last year encompassing that thinking, and the guidance issued in December is expected to hold for now. It pledged to continue its monthly $120 billion of bond purchases until there was “substantial further progress” towards full employment and 2% inflation. Moreover, it said interest rates would not increase until those goals were actually met.\nNone of those things have happened yet, a point Powell has stressed recently and will likely again on Wednesday. The economy remains about 9 million jobs short of its pre-pandemic level; the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, at 1.5%, is well short of its goal; a new index of slow-moving inflation expectations is also below target.\n‘CLEAR-EYED’\nStill, it is a pivotal moment as Fed officials issue forecasts incorporating a bounty of new information.\nSince their December projections, more than 100 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States and daily deaths due to the virus have fallen by two-thirds. Optimism has spiked, and states have begun lifting restrictions on businesses and reopening schools. Washington also has approved two new relief packages worth about $2.8 trillion, money now rolling into household and business bank accounts.\nMuch has changed since the Burns era, when wages and inflation were tightly linked, the economy relied more on manufacturing and imported oil, and unforeseen shocks from an oil embargo were just ahead.

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.</p>\n<p>The past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.</p>\n<p>This massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation.

Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2458f247b63c18b8d7a45c13afe2e4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>Image Source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>1. U.S. Bancorp</b></p>\n<p>One industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.</p>\n<p>Investors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.</p>\n<p><b>2. Glacier Bancorp</b></p>\n<p><b>Glacier Bancorp</b> (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.</p>\n<p>The bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.</p>\n<p><b>3. Progressive</b></p>\n<p>Insurance is another industry that benefits from rising interest rates. That's because insurance companies invest excess capital from their usual underwriting activity to generate interest income, which can help boost their top and bottom lines.</p>\n<p><b>Progressive</b> (NYSE:PGR) is one of the best in the game. While Progressive is less reliant on investment income than competitors, it would still welcome a rising-interest rate environment. &nbsp;That's because the company has a $43.3 billion investment portfolio, which generated 2.2% of total revenue in 2020. The portfolio would likely provide a bigger boost as interest rates rise.</p>\n<p>Best of all, the insurer has posted stellar growth rates for a decade now. Since 2010, Progressive has grown its earned premiums at an annual rate of 10.4%, which helped net income grow annually at 18.2%. The company also posted stellar results in 2020, growing premiums earned by 8.5% while net income grew 43.7%. It also had another great year managing risk, posting a combined ratio -- a measure of an insurer's profitability -- of 87.7% during the year. A ratio under 100% indicates the insurer is writing profitable policies.</p>\n<p>The company is well-known for its investments in telematics, meaning its logging of driver information to help it write better policies. Its leadership in this space, combined with its stellar underwriting standards and its position to take advantage of higher interest rates, is why this insurer is another solid option.</p>\n<p><b>4. Chubb</b></p>\n<p><b>Chubb</b> (NYSE:CB) is another company in the insurance industry that would benefit as rates increase. Chubb is more reliant on investment income than Progressive, since it makes up 9.4% of its total revenue.</p>\n<p>Chubb, the world's largest property and casualty insurer, was hurt in 2020 by the global pandemic, wildfires, flooding, and civil unrest. The company navigated a hardening insurance market in 2021, which saw insurers pay increased payouts and raise premiums in response. Its strong capital position puts it in place to take advantage of a favorable market for insurers in 2021. Another plus is that it's a Dividend Aristocrat, having increased its dividend payout 26 years in a row, and yields nearly 1.8% while achieving an easily managed payout ratio of 39.3%.</p>\n<p><b>Stay the course</b></p>\n<p>We can't know if or when inflation will pick up in the near future. All we can do is stay the course and have some exposure to those companies that would benefit from an inflationary environment, and thus a rising-interest rate environment. The four companies above are all well-run companies that look to post strong performances in 2021, and would benefit from a higher interest rate to boot.</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>Concerned About Inflation?

This should push the unemployment rate below the natural rate (the lowest unemployment rate an economy can sustain with inflation remaining stable) by the second half of 2022, she says, meaning the 2% inflation forecast would be pulled forward to the end of 2022—and the first rate hike therefore pulled forward to 2023. (In December, the Fed projected inflation at a 1.8% rate at the end of this year.)</p>\n<p>Fed officials have expressed comfort in letting inflation run hotter than the 2% target. The question is by how much. Even though the FOMC will likely repeat that the recovery will slow after this year, new forecasts may show inflation of over 2% in both 2022 and 2023 alongside an unemployment rate of 3.5% by the end of 2023, thereby meeting the Fed’s criteria of inflation above 2% and “maximum employment,” says David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.</p>\n<p>Some economists, however, say the Fed may focus more on a broader unemployment rate, known as the U-6 rate, that includes discouraged workers plus those who are working part time but would prefer to work full time, among others. That would give policy makers more breathing room given how much higher U-6 stands (11.1%) compared with the “official” U-3 rate (6.2%).</p>\n<p>Given the Fed’s new policy framework defines maximum employment as consisting of ‘broad-based and inclusive’ employment, investors looking to handicap the Fed’s next rate move should monitor the U-6 unemployment rate, says Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.</p>\n<p><b>The dot plot:</b>In December, only one of 17 FOMC members submitting forecasts saw a rate hike by the end of 2022 and five saw a rate hike by the end of 2023. While some economists say Fed officials may be wary of lifting their dots, or appearing more hawkish and thereby adding fuel to a surge in long-term interest rates that has been under way, others say the Fed has to show some change in its rate outlook.</p>\n<p>“Given the magnitude of the likely forecast revisions, it would be hard to justify no change in the policy outlook,” says Markowska. “Not doing so would be inconsistent with data-dependency and would strongly suggest that the Fed is calendar dependent (which the Fed insists it isn’t).” At the same time, she says, the Fed hasn’t pushed back against the recent repricing of rate expectations, which is an implicit endorsement of what’s already priced in.</p>\n<p>Bostjancic expects the median forecast to show at least one 0.25% rate hike during 2023, while Markowska thinks the median 2023 dot could rise to 0.375% (she notes only 4 members need to lift their dots—or signal a higher expected Fed funds rate by the end of 2023—to move the median rate projection. The bond market has priced in three quarter-point increases by the end of 2023.</p>\n<p><b>Bond market action:</b>How the Treasury market reacts to the new Fed information will be at least as interesting as the information itself. Instead of the Fed potentially catching up to where the market already is in terms of rate expectations, Bostjancic says even a whiff of the Fed pulling forward rate hike expectations could spur the bond market to price in more tightening.</p>\n<p>Ian Lyngen, head of rates strategy at BMO Capital, says chances are low Powell will meaningfully alter his stance on the recent yield action, maintaining that as long as the move is driven by an improving economic outlook and inflation expectations, the repricing is for the right reasons. “Needless to say, higher yields are good until they are not and it’s just such an inflection point that represents the more significant policy risk for the Fed,” he says.</p>\n<p>Lyngen is watching the 1.64% level on the 10-year (it was last week’s yield peak as well as the highest for the benchmark since early-February 2020) and has a 1.75% target on the note.</p>\n<p><b>SLR exemption extension:</b>Potentially contributing to bond market action on Wednesday will be any signal around the Fed’s plan for a popular program launched last April, as pandemic-driven shutdowns cascaded.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is hoping for an extension of a temporary exemption of Treasuries and bank deposits at the Fed Reserve Banks from the banks’ Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which requires financial institutions hold a minimum ratio of at least 3% in capital measured against their total leverage exposure. The exemption is set to expire at the end of March.</p>\n<p>The exemption’s fate has big implications. Over the past year, banks have increased their purchases of Treasuries by a large $854 billion, while bank reserves have ballooned by $1.8 trillion, Bostjancic notes. Economists say the lack of an extension could significantly lessen banks’ appetite for Treasuries, putting even more upward pressure on yields.</p>\n<p><b>Further easing watch:</b>Wall Street generally doesn’t expect more easing unless yields stage a more disorderly surge and financial conditions meaningfully tighten. For now, the FOMC “is reasonably well positioned to stay the course for the time being,” Lyngen says, “even if such an outcome involves the risk of tacitly endorsing a further Treasury selloff at stage when investors are wary, if not worried.”</p>\n<p>As for potential responses to any disorderly jump in yields, economists say the Fed has a few options. Most immediately, the Fed could opt to lengthen the duration of its current asset purchases, says Bostjancic. As of December, the average maturity under the current program was 7.4 years, she says, adding that policy makers could start buying 10- to 30-year Treasuries. Doing so would effectively be one part of a new “operation twist,” with the other leg involving the sale of short-date Treasury bills, Bostjancic says.</p>\n<p>If financial conditions tighten much more sharply and buying further out on the yield curve proves insufficient, Bostjancic and others say the Fed could attempt yield curve control.</p>\n<p>YCC, undertaken by the Fed after World War II, the Bank of Japan in 2016, and the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2020, aims to control interest rates along some portion of the yield curve, targeting longer-term rates directly by imposing interest rate caps on particular maturities.As economists at the St. Louis Fed put it, because bond prices and yields are inversely related, this also implies a price floor for targeted maturities: if bond prices (yields) of targeted maturities remain above (below) the floor, the central bank does nothing. But if prices fall (rise) below (above) the floor, the central bank buys targeted-maturity bonds—increasing the demand and thus the price of those bonds.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Easy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting</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\">\nEasy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-17 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1103121082","content_text":"The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking about” lifting interest rates—and that it doesn’t need to.\nMore-optimistic estimates for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation would typically prompt an acknowledgement that monetary policy would, in turn, begin to tighten.

That price represents a 19 per cent premium to Baidu's Wednesday closing price in New York. Baidu rose 6.8 per cent on Thursday.\nBaidu aims to set the final price before the US market open on March 17 and start trading in Hong Kong on March 23. At US$3.6 billion (S$4.8 billion), it would be the biggest so-called homecoming listing of a US-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's June 2020 offering, which raised US$4.5 billion.\nBaidu follows online car-sales website Autohome in seeking a trading foothold in the Asian financial hub this year, after a wave of such share sales in 2020 which saw some US$17 billion raised. Other companies looking at selling shares in the city include Tencent Music Entertainment Group and video company Bilibili.\nAutohome raised US$688 million after pricing its Hong Kong share sale at about a 5.5 per cent discount to its last closing price in New York on Monday.\nA growing cohort of US-traded Chinese firms have been listing in Hong Kong amid deteriorating relations between the world's two biggest economies. The second listings enable the companies to expand their investor bases closer to their home markets.\nThe trend has boosted the listing volumes of Hong Kong's bourse, which now has a growing contingent of tech companies listed there. The city has had a bumper start to the year for initial public offerings, such as video startup Kuaishou Technology's US$6.2 billion debut in February. The Chinese company's shares are trading 168 per cent above their offering price.\nOnce one of China's tech leaders, Baidu is now playing catch-up as the country's internet users increasingly shift from desktop to mobile. In recent years the company has spent billions of dollars in areas such as language learning and autonomous driving, betting on smart devices and vehicles of the future.\nBank of America, CLSA and Goldman Sachs Group are joint sponsors of the offering, while China International Capital Corp, UBS Group and CCB International (Holdings) are joint global coordinators, according to Thursday's filing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":75,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328215031,"gmtCreate":1615529294123,"gmtModify":1704784145230,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That's great&nbsp;","listText":"That's great&nbsp;","text":"That's great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328215031","repostId":"1144029837","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144029837","pubTimestamp":1615513990,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144029837?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 09:53","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"The Nasdaq's Back, and These 3 Stocks Are Flying High Again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144029837","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and theNasdaq Composite(NASDAQIN","content":"<p>The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and the<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>(NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC)has found itself on the short end of the stick.

Powell will hold a news conference shortly after, an event that could prove tricky for the Fed chief.\nMarkets predict the Fed may be forced to act sooner than expected. Some policymakers could even hint at that if new projections show more of them anticipate a rate increase sometime in 2023, rather than a year or more later.\nIf a majority see a 2023 hike, “Powell will have his work cut out for him” explaining how that meshes with a promise to get the economy back to full employment before reducing the crisis support rolled out when the pandemic struck, Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors, wrote this week.\nStill, investors are already betting on earlier hikes, and some economists are also raising a red flag along with their forecasts. Morgan Stanley, among the more bullish in predicting the economy will have fully escaped its pandemic hole by September, sees the Fed’s approach producing a “hotter but shorter” business cycle that is likely to prompt it to tighten monetary policy early next year.\nThe coming cycle would be less like the last three expansions - the one ended by the pandemic lasted a decade - and more like the period after World War Two when the intervals between recessions were shorter and intervening growth stronger.\nThat epoch ended when then-President Richard Nixon encouraged loose monetary policy ahead of his 1972 re-election. Arthur Burns, who was the Fed chief at the time, kept interest rates low as the economy accelerated, and is often blamed for the ensuing rampant inflation that dogged the country for a decade.\nThis time is different, Fed officials argue. Indeed, Powell’s legacy may hinge on whether inflation remains tame as the economy recovers, or whether prices spike, forcing the central bank to pull back its support - perhaps with millions of Americans still out of work.\nTheir arguments are well-rehearsed. Inflation and unemployment don’t behave as they used to; lower levels of joblessness can now coexist with low inflation.\nThe Fed made substantial changes to its policy statement last year encompassing that thinking, and the guidance issued in December is expected to hold for now. It pledged to continue its monthly $120 billion of bond purchases until there was “substantial further progress” towards full employment and 2% inflation. Moreover, it said interest rates would not increase until those goals were actually met.\nNone of those things have happened yet, a point Powell has stressed recently and will likely again on Wednesday. The economy remains about 9 million jobs short of its pre-pandemic level; the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, at 1.5%, is well short of its goal; a new index of slow-moving inflation expectations is also below target.\n‘CLEAR-EYED’\nStill, it is a pivotal moment as Fed officials issue forecasts incorporating a bounty of new information.\nSince their December projections, more than 100 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States and daily deaths due to the virus have fallen by two-thirds. Optimism has spiked, and states have begun lifting restrictions on businesses and reopening schools. Washington also has approved two new relief packages worth about $2.8 trillion, money now rolling into household and business bank accounts.\nMuch has changed since the Burns era, when wages and inflation were tightly linked, the economy relied more on manufacturing and imported oil, and unforeseen shocks from an oil embargo were just ahead. [Related graphic:here]\nThe Fed’s new approach, moreover, isn’t an in-the-moment response to political pressure, but a policy shift meant to reflect changes in the economy officials spent years studying.\nWith an emphasis on job creation and downplaying inflation, the new framework seemed well suited for the job market crisis spawned by the pandemic. The issue now is how it meshes with an economy that may recover faster than thought possible.\nAnalysts at BlackRock have praised the Fed for being “clear-eyed” about the economy’s problems during the pandemic and in its response to it.\nBut, wrote Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer of global fixed income, “at some point, the financial stability risks that emanate from an extremely low policy rate, coupled with the real economy boom that we expect, could in fact force the Fed’s hand.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":32,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350099136,"gmtCreate":1616133622425,"gmtModify":1704791372107,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Match","listText":"Match","text":"Match","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350099136","repostId":"1133615560","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133615560","pubTimestamp":1616132176,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133615560?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 13:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Six ‘reopening’ stocks, including Bumble and Wayfair, that company insiders absolutely love","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133615560","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Executives are snapping up shares of their own companies, which is typically a bullish sign.\nWith va","content":"<p>Executives are snapping up shares of their own companies, which is typically a bullish sign.</p>\n<p>With vaccine rollouts progressing and personal savings rising to record highs, “reopening” plays in the stock market are all the rage.

More recently, CFO Brian Choi took over as the big buyer, purchasing $1.64 million worth of stock at $46-$56 a share in February. Insiders don’t buy for short-term trades so this purchase — along with the reopening travel craze ahead — tells me the stock remains a hold.</p>\n<p><b>Fast-food binge</b></p>\n<p>As the second-largest fast-food burger chain in the U.S., Wendy’s&nbsp;will see a big boost in sales as consumers come out of hiding.

And Walmart offers investors a 1.6% dividend yield.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324991473,"gmtCreate":1615948985892,"gmtModify":1704788820634,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Moon","listText":"Moon","text":"Moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324991473","repostId":"1103121082","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103121082","pubTimestamp":1615948559,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103121082?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 10:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Easy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103121082","media":"Barrons","summary":"The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter ec","content":"<p>The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking about” lifting interest rates—and that it doesn’t need to.</p>\n<p>More-optimistic estimates for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation would typically prompt an acknowledgement that monetary policy would, in turn, begin to tighten.

As of December, the average maturity under the current program was 7.4 years, she says, adding that policy makers could start buying 10- to 30-year Treasuries. Doing so would effectively be one part of a new “operation twist,” with the other leg involving the sale of short-date Treasury bills, Bostjancic says.</p>\n<p>If financial conditions tighten much more sharply and buying further out on the yield curve proves insufficient, Bostjancic and others say the Fed could attempt yield curve control.</p>\n<p>YCC, undertaken by the Fed after World War II, the Bank of Japan in 2016, and the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2020, aims to control interest rates along some portion of the yield curve, targeting longer-term rates directly by imposing interest rate caps on particular maturities.As economists at the St. Louis Fed put it, because bond prices and yields are inversely related, this also implies a price floor for targeted maturities: if bond prices (yields) of targeted maturities remain above (below) the floor, the central bank does nothing. But if prices fall (rise) below (above) the floor, the central bank buys targeted-maturity bonds—increasing the demand and thus the price of those bonds.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Easy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting</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\">\nEasy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-17 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1103121082","content_text":"The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking about” lifting interest rates—and that it doesn’t need to.\nMore-optimistic estimates for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation would typically prompt an acknowledgement that monetary policy would, in turn, begin to tighten.

To su","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. unveiled a grand plan Tuesday to restore its past chipmaking glory. To succeed, new Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger must embrace a strategy the old Intel never dreamed of: playing nice with rivals.</p>\n<p>“Intel is back. The old Intel is the new Intel,” he said. “We’re going to be leaders in the market and we’re going to satisfy the new foundry customers, because the world needs more semiconductors and we’re going to step into that gap in a powerful and meaningful way.”</p>\n<p>Intel shares jumped 7% on the plan. Yet key parts of the strategy are new territory for a company that’s used to doing everything its own way. Intel has almost always designed and produced its semiconductors in-house. Now, Gelsinger is starting a foundry business that will manufacture chips for other companies. And he also plans to use rivals’ factories to outsource production of more Intel components.</p>\n<p>This will create complex new relationships. For instance, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. runs the world’s leading chip foundry business. Intel is now encroaching on TSMC’s turf, while also expecting this rival to make some of Intel’s best chips.</p>\n<p>“TSMC will do as much for Intel as they feel they have to,” said Matt Ramsay, an analyst at Cowen &amp; Co.</p>\n<p>Before other chip companies commit to using Intel’s factories, it has to fix its own manufacturing problems, the analyst added. Intel’s latest 7-nanometer production process has been delayed and that followed several missed deadlines for the previous 10-nanometer standard. Gelsinger said on Tuesday these issues have been fixed, but analysts are dubious.</p>\n<p>“We simply don’t understand why customers would strongly support an Intel foundry given that Intel is so far behind on process technology, and doesn’t yet possess the standard libraries needed to compete with TSMC,” said Chris Caso, an analyst at Raymond James.</p>\n<p>Charles Shum, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said big technology companies, such as Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc., will hesitate to shift orders to Intel because they compete with the company in designing chips.</p>\n<p>TSMC Can Fight Off Intel Challenge in Chip Manufacturing: React</p>\n<p>Gelsinger began his career at Intel in the 1970s and worked his way up the ranks to run some of its biggest units. He left in 2009 when Intel was approaching its zenith using a strategy he helped put in place. Intel introduced new products and new manufacturing technology at a blistering cadence that competitors couldn’t match, and PC and server customers built their product cycles around it.While he mentioned a return to that “tick-tock” discipline on Tuesday, Gelsinger will have to lean on the recent experience he gained as head of software maker VMware Inc. to navigate a more complex world for Intel.</p>\n<p>During a presentation with analysts on Tuesday, Gelsinger said the way semiconductors are designed and manufactured has changed. Parts of chips can now be made in different places using different technologies, then combined in packages. This helps designers pick and choose what fits their needs best -- and it makes the old Intel model of keeping it all under <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> roof less relevant.</p>\n<p>Intel showed off the logos of Qualcomm and other companies that it said are supporting its foundry push. With rising geopolitical and trade tensions between China and the U.S., customers want suppliers with facilities outside of Taiwan, Intel said.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger is shaking it up further by doing something his predecessors would have deemed sacrilege. Intel used to jealously guard its X86 processor technology, the dominant instruction set for computer microprocessors. Now this will be available as a design if Intel foundry customers want to use it. And they can combine that with rival approaches such as those offered by Arm Ltd. and an open-source standard called RISC-V, he said.Intel has tried and failed as a foundry before. This effort is different because customers will get access to Intel’s best manufacturing techology, Gelsinger said.

To succeed, new Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger must embrace a strategy the old Intel never dreamed of: playing nice with rivals.\n“Intel is back. The old Intel is the new Intel,” he said. “We’re going to be leaders in the market and we’re going to satisfy the new foundry customers, because the world needs more semiconductors and we’re going to step into that gap in a powerful and meaningful way.”\nIntel shares jumped 7% on the plan. Yet key parts of the strategy are new territory for a company that’s used to doing everything its own way. Intel has almost always designed and produced its semiconductors in-house. Now, Gelsinger is starting a foundry business that will manufacture chips for other companies. And he also plans to use rivals’ factories to outsource production of more Intel components.\nThis will create complex new relationships. For instance, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. runs the world’s leading chip foundry business. Intel is now encroaching on TSMC’s turf, while also expecting this rival to make some of Intel’s best chips.\n“TSMC will do as much for Intel as they feel they have to,” said Matt Ramsay, an analyst at Cowen & Co.\nBefore other chip companies commit to using Intel’s factories, it has to fix its own manufacturing problems, the analyst added. Intel’s latest 7-nanometer production process has been delayed and that followed several missed deadlines for the previous 10-nanometer standard. Gelsinger said on Tuesday these issues have been fixed, but analysts are dubious.\n“We simply don’t understand why customers would strongly support an Intel foundry given that Intel is so far behind on process technology, and doesn’t yet possess the standard libraries needed to compete with TSMC,” said Chris Caso, an analyst at Raymond James.\nCharles Shum, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said big technology companies, such as Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc., will hesitate to shift orders to Intel because they compete with the company in designing chips.\nTSMC Can Fight Off Intel Challenge in Chip Manufacturing: React\nGelsinger began his career at Intel in the 1970s and worked his way up the ranks to run some of its biggest units. He left in 2009 when Intel was approaching its zenith using a strategy he helped put in place. Intel introduced new products and new manufacturing technology at a blistering cadence that competitors couldn’t match, and PC and server customers built their product cycles around it.While he mentioned a return to that “tick-tock” discipline on Tuesday, Gelsinger will have to lean on the recent experience he gained as head of software maker VMware Inc. to navigate a more complex world for Intel.\nDuring a presentation with analysts on Tuesday, Gelsinger said the way semiconductors are designed and manufactured has changed. Parts of chips can now be made in different places using different technologies, then combined in packages. This helps designers pick and choose what fits their needs best -- and it makes the old Intel model of keeping it all under one roof less relevant.\nIntel showed off the logos of Qualcomm and other companies that it said are supporting its foundry push. With rising geopolitical and trade tensions between China and the U.S., customers want suppliers with facilities outside of Taiwan, Intel said.\nGelsinger is shaking it up further by doing something his predecessors would have deemed sacrilege. Intel used to jealously guard its X86 processor technology, the dominant instruction set for computer microprocessors. Now this will be available as a design if Intel foundry customers want to use it. And they can combine that with rival approaches such as those offered by Arm Ltd. and an open-source standard called RISC-V, he said.Intel has tried and failed as a foundry before. This effort is different because customers will get access to Intel’s best manufacturing techology, Gelsinger said. And there are at least two new factories being built for the effort.“Our past attempts were somewhat half-hearted,” Gelsinger said. “Customers will get the best we’ve got to offer.”\nNew Intel CEO May Drive Improved EPS, Valuation: Company OutlookTo make his goals clear internally, Gelsinger has set up a separate division called Intel Foundry Services that will report its own financial performance and therefore have to align itself with customers’ interests to guarantee it meets targets.“If he’s really dedicated to the benefits he’s touting today, then this will put Intel on a much more competitive footing,” Loop Capital Markets analyst Cody Acree said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “You are going to get this honeymoon period that Mr. Gelsinger is in today where people are looking for the changes, looking for optimism, anything to hang onto with Intel.

Instead of buying a company that's hanging on by a thread, I'd encourage you to consider purchasing the following three game-changing stocks, all of which have the tools to make you rich.</p>\n<p><b>Ping Identity</b></p>\n<p>Though there are a number of trends that offer double-digit growth potential this decade,cybersecurity might be the safest of the bunch. As more businesses push online and move their data (and that of their customers) onto the cloud, the onus of protecting this data is increasingly going to fall on third-party providers. That's where<b>Ping Identity Holding</b>(NYSE:PING)comes in.</p>\n<p>Whereas most security companies excelled during the pandemic, identity verification specialist Ping Identitystruggled a bit. Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.</p>\n<p>Even though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.</p>\n<p>What's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.</p>\n<p>Ping Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Cresco Labs</b></p>\n<p>Marijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)<b>Cresco Labs</b>(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.</p>\n<p>As with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pending<b>Bluma Wellness</b>buyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.</p>\n<p>Yet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.</p>\n<p>However, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.</p>\n<p>With Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Intuitive Surgical</b></p>\n<p>Lastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,<b>Intuitive Surgical</b>(NASDAQ:ISRG).</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.</p>\n<p>The da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.</p>\n<p>But it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich</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\">\nForget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-19 19:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PING":"Ping Identity Holding","CRLBF":"Cresco Labs Inc.","ISRG":"直觉外科公司"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177407243","content_text":"These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets (WSB) chat room have essentially banded together to buy shares andout-of-the-money call optionson stocks with high levels of short interest.

Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.\nEven though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.\nWhat's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.\nPing Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.\nCresco Labs\nMarijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)Cresco Labs(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.\nAs with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pendingBluma Wellnessbuyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.\nYet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.\nHowever, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.\nWith Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.\nIntuitive Surgical\nLastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,Intuitive Surgical(NASDAQ:ISRG).\nIntuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.\nThe da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.\nBut it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.\nIntuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350294402,"gmtCreate":1616208560106,"gmtModify":1704792194921,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ape together strong&nbsp;","listText":"Ape together strong&nbsp;","text":"Ape together strong","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350294402","repostId":"1128367483","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324996500,"gmtCreate":1615949129600,"gmtModify":1704788823220,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Inflation&nbsp;","listText":"Inflation&nbsp;","text":"Inflation","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324996500","repostId":"2119197149","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2119197149","pubTimestamp":1615947420,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2119197149?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 10:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Concerned About Inflation?

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.</p>\n<p>The past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.</p>\n<p>This massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation.

Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2458f247b63c18b8d7a45c13afe2e4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>Image Source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>1. U.S. Bancorp</b></p>\n<p>One industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.</p>\n<p>Investors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.</p>\n<p><b>2. Glacier Bancorp</b></p>\n<p><b>Glacier Bancorp</b> (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.</p>\n<p>The bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.</p>\n<p><b>3. Progressive</b></p>\n<p>Insurance is another industry that benefits from rising interest rates. That's because insurance companies invest excess capital from their usual underwriting activity to generate interest income, which can help boost their top and bottom lines.</p>\n<p><b>Progressive</b> (NYSE:PGR) is one of the best in the game. While Progressive is less reliant on investment income than competitors, it would still welcome a rising-interest rate environment. &nbsp;That's because the company has a $43.3 billion investment portfolio, which generated 2.2% of total revenue in 2020. The portfolio would likely provide a bigger boost as interest rates rise.</p>\n<p>Best of all, the insurer has posted stellar growth rates for a decade now. Since 2010, Progressive has grown its earned premiums at an annual rate of 10.4%, which helped net income grow annually at 18.2%. The company also posted stellar results in 2020, growing premiums earned by 8.5% while net income grew 43.7%. It also had another great year managing risk, posting a combined ratio -- a measure of an insurer's profitability -- of 87.7% during the year. A ratio under 100% indicates the insurer is writing profitable policies.</p>\n<p>The company is well-known for its investments in telematics, meaning its logging of driver information to help it write better policies. Its leadership in this space, combined with its stellar underwriting standards and its position to take advantage of higher interest rates, is why this insurer is another solid option.</p>\n<p><b>4. Chubb</b></p>\n<p><b>Chubb</b> (NYSE:CB) is another company in the insurance industry that would benefit as rates increase. Chubb is more reliant on investment income than Progressive, since it makes up 9.4% of its total revenue.</p>\n<p>Chubb, the world's largest property and casualty insurer, was hurt in 2020 by the global pandemic, wildfires, flooding, and civil unrest. The company navigated a hardening insurance market in 2021, which saw insurers pay increased payouts and raise premiums in response. Its strong capital position puts it in place to take advantage of a favorable market for insurers in 2021. Another plus is that it's a Dividend Aristocrat, having increased its dividend payout 26 years in a row, and yields nearly 1.8% while achieving an easily managed payout ratio of 39.3%.</p>\n<p><b>Stay the course</b></p>\n<p>We can't know if or when inflation will pick up in the near future. All we can do is stay the course and have some exposure to those companies that would benefit from an inflationary environment, and thus a rising-interest rate environment. The four companies above are all well-run companies that look to post strong performances in 2021, and would benefit from a higher interest rate to boot.</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>Concerned About Inflation?

That price represents a 19 per cent premium to Baidu's Wednesday closing price in New York. Baidu rose 6.8 per cent on Thursday.\nBaidu aims to set the final price before the US market open on March 17 and start trading in Hong Kong on March 23. At US$3.6 billion (S$4.8 billion), it would be the biggest so-called homecoming listing of a US-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's June 2020 offering, which raised US$4.5 billion.\nBaidu follows online car-sales website Autohome in seeking a trading foothold in the Asian financial hub this year, after a wave of such share sales in 2020 which saw some US$17 billion raised. Other companies looking at selling shares in the city include Tencent Music Entertainment Group and video company Bilibili.\nAutohome raised US$688 million after pricing its Hong Kong share sale at about a 5.5 per cent discount to its last closing price in New York on Monday.\nA growing cohort of US-traded Chinese firms have been listing in Hong Kong amid deteriorating relations between the world's two biggest economies. The second listings enable the companies to expand their investor bases closer to their home markets.\nThe trend has boosted the listing volumes of Hong Kong's bourse, which now has a growing contingent of tech companies listed there. The city has had a bumper start to the year for initial public offerings, such as video startup Kuaishou Technology's US$6.2 billion debut in February. The Chinese company's shares are trading 168 per cent above their offering price.\nOnce one of China's tech leaders, Baidu is now playing catch-up as the country's internet users increasingly shift from desktop to mobile. In recent years the company has spent billions of dollars in areas such as language learning and autonomous driving, betting on smart devices and vehicles of the future.\nBank of America, CLSA and Goldman Sachs Group are joint sponsors of the offering, while China International Capital Corp, UBS Group and CCB International (Holdings) are joint global coordinators, according to Thursday's filing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":75,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328212113,"gmtCreate":1615529226032,"gmtModify":1704784143772,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ntd","listText":"Ntd","text":"Ntd","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328212113","repostId":"1199156489","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199156489","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":1615452861,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199156489?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-11 16:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US Daylight Saving Time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199156489","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"From 02:00 U.S. East time March 14(this Sunday),the North America region entered daylight saving tim","content":"<p>From&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;March&nbsp;14(this&nbsp;Sunday),the&nbsp;North America&nbsp;region&nbsp;entered&nbsp;daylight saving&nbsp;time,until&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;ends&nbsp;on&nbsp;November&nbsp;7,2021.</p><p>So,starting&nbsp;on&nbsp;Monday,March&nbsp;14,the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;market&nbsp;will&nbsp;open&nbsp;and&nbsp;close&nbsp;one&nbsp;hour&nbsp;ahead&nbsp;of&nbsp;schedule&nbsp;during&nbsp;north&nbsp;american&nbsp;daylight saving time,i.e.,U.S.&nbsp;trading&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;changed&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30&nbsp;beijing&nbsp;time&nbsp;to&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;a.m.the&nbsp;next&nbsp;day,pre-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;16:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30,after-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;8:00.</p><p><b>What is daylight saving time?</b></p><p>The DST is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during summer months so that daylight lasts longer into evening.
