It now leaves policymakers dependent on a jobs revival that has run in fits and starts, shaped by forces as disparate as childcare availability or opposition to mask-wearing mandates in large states like Florida and Texas and their effect on hiring and people's ability to work.</p>\n<p>As of August the economy had clawed back fewer than half of those 10 million missing jobs. Other relevant statistics, like the employment-to-population ratio, are short of what policymakers like Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin, also a voting member of the FOMC this year, have said they want to see before concluding that the job market was repaired enough to begin reducing the bond purchases.</p>\n<p>Some Fed officials, including Governor Christopher Waller, want to taper sooner rather than later, arguing the purchases are doing little to help hiring at this point and pose a risk if, by keeping long-term interest rates low, they fuel housing or other asset bubbles.</p>\n<p>With inflation also higher than expected for most of the last several months, other officials have said the bond purchases should end by early next year. However, a recent weakening of inflation, as expected by many other Fed officials, may temper any sense of urgency to act faster.</p>\n<p>Graphic: Downside 'surprises' complicate Fed's task: https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/TAPER/gdvzyqwdnpw/chart.png</p>\n<p>HOW MUCH LIKE 2013?</p>\n<p>That kind of division over policy, in an era when economic data have veered from frightening to ebullient, means the Fed will want to keeps its options open in the weeks ahead, said Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist at SGH Macro Advisors and an economics professor at the University of Oregon.</p>\n<p>\"They will do something like 2013. Clear the way to taper at any future meeting,\" Duy said.</p>\n<p>In 2013, the Fed introduced language at its September meeting that began a turn towards eventual reduction of its last round of \"quantitative easing\" after the financial crisis.</p>\n<p>At that meeting the Fed noted the economy showed \"underlying strength\" despite a pullback in federal government spending. But because the impact of that \"fiscal retrenchment\" remained uncertain, \"the Committee decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases.\"</p>\n<p>It repeated that language at its next meeting, before actually reducing its bond purchases in December 2013.</p>\n<p>This time it's the Delta variant that is posing risks.</p>\n<p>Many economists contend that attention to the taper discussion is overblown, and that a difference of a month or two in terms of when the Fed begins or ends it makes little difference.</p>\n<p>But it will send a potent signal that U.S. monetary policy is closing the books on the crisis, and will train focus on the next phase of debate over when inflation will require the Fed to raise its benchmark overnight interest rate - federal funds rate - from the current near-zero level.</p>\n<p>It's a call Fed officials want to get right.</p>\n<p>\"The macro stakes around the timing are rather low,\" said David Wilcox, a former Fed research director who is now a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. \"What is important is the inference that can be drawn about how they are reading the inflation tea leaves. How anxious are they to wrap up their bond-purchase program in a timely manner before they might want to raise the (federal funds) rate? That is why this decision is of more than passing interest.\"</p>","source":"highlight_streetinsider","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>November?

It now leaves policymakers dependent on a jobs revival that has run in fits and starts, shaped by forces as disparate as childcare availability or opposition to mask-wearing mandates in large states like Florida and Texas and their effect on hiring and people's ability to work.\nAs of August the economy had clawed back fewer than half of those 10 million missing jobs. Other relevant statistics, like the employment-to-population ratio, are short of what policymakers like Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin, also a voting member of the FOMC this year, have said they want to see before concluding that the job market was repaired enough to begin reducing the bond purchases.\nSome Fed officials, including Governor Christopher Waller, want to taper sooner rather than later, arguing the purchases are doing little to help hiring at this point and pose a risk if, by keeping long-term interest rates low, they fuel housing or other asset bubbles.\nWith inflation also higher than expected for most of the last several months, other officials have said the bond purchases should end by early next year. However, a recent weakening of inflation, as expected by many other Fed officials, may temper any sense of urgency to act faster.\nGraphic: Downside 'surprises' complicate Fed's task: https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/TAPER/gdvzyqwdnpw/chart.png\nHOW MUCH LIKE 2013?\nThat kind of division over policy, in an era when economic data have veered from frightening to ebullient, means the Fed will want to keeps its options open in the weeks ahead, said Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist at SGH Macro Advisors and an economics professor at the University of Oregon.\n\"They will do something like 2013. Clear the way to taper at any future meeting,\" Duy said.\nIn 2013, the Fed introduced language at its September meeting that began a turn towards eventual reduction of its last round of \"quantitative easing\" after the financial crisis.\nAt that meeting the Fed noted the economy showed \"underlying strength\" despite a pullback in federal government spending. But because the impact of that \"fiscal retrenchment\" remained uncertain, \"the Committee decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of its purchases.\"\nIt repeated that language at its next meeting, before actually reducing its bond purchases in December 2013.\nThis time it's the Delta variant that is posing risks.\nMany economists contend that attention to the taper discussion is overblown, and that a difference of a month or two in terms of when the Fed begins or ends it makes little difference.\nBut it will send a potent signal that U.S. monetary policy is closing the books on the crisis, and will train focus on the next phase of debate over when inflation will require the Fed to raise its benchmark overnight interest rate - federal funds rate - from the current near-zero level.\nIt's a call Fed officials want to get right.\n\"The macro stakes around the timing are rather low,\" said David Wilcox, a former Fed research director who is now a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. \"What is important is the inference that can be drawn about how they are reading the inflation tea leaves. How anxious are they to wrap up their bond-purchase program in a timely manner before they might want to raise the (federal funds) rate? That is why this decision is of more than passing interest.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":420,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884085475,"gmtCreate":1631840066097,"gmtModify":1676530648919,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578526149260573","idStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Finance","summary":"President Biden has plans to address many long-standing issues, such as climate change, wealth inequ","content":"<p>President Biden has plans to address many long-standing issues, such as climate change, wealth inequality, unaffordable health care, and housing shortages. But he’s been unable to address a problem that is holding back the U.S. economy in real-time, right now: the global shortage of semiconductors, key processors in thousands of consumer and industrial products.</p>\n<p>A variety of factors conspired with the coronavirus pandemic to create more demand for semiconductors than manufacturers can meet. The shortfall has slammed the car industry, forcing manufacturers including Ford (F), General Motors (GM) and Chrysler to halt production of some of their most popular models. The pace of U.S. car sales in August was the lowest in 15 months, largely because carmakers can’t produce all the vehicles consumers want to buy.</p>\n<p>Some video-game consoles are impossible to find. Appliances have chips, too, and there are delays in deliveries of refrigerators, microwaves, and washing machines. Apple (AAPL) has said chip shortages could affect the availability of iPhones this fall. The shortages are depressing economic output and forcing economists to lower their growth expectations for the rest of 2021. They’re also pushing prices up, contributing to inflation that now stands at 5.4%.</p>\n<p>Biden is fully aware of the problem. A June White House report on supply chain vulnerabilities identified semiconductors as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of four priority areas where the U.S. must develop new domestic capacity. But that report acknowledged that “the private sector must take the lead in addressing the shortage” and identified the government’s role as one of assisting. Meanwhile, manufacturers such as Intel (INTC) and Micron (MU) are reluctant to add new production capacity, which is expensive and requires frequent retooling. The chip business also endures boom-bust cycles that can brutalize producers that end up with overcapacity during a downturn. For manufacturers, light supply, including shortages, is better than over-investing and facing steep losses in the future.</p>\n<h2>Yet another U.S. business that went overseas</h2>\n<p>Like other industries, the semiconductor business grew up in America and migrated overseas. American firms still account for roughly half of all global sales of semiconductors. But giants such as Intel, Micron, Broadcom (AVGO), Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN) now produce some of their chips overseas or contract out production to overseas producers. The semiconductor industry says the portion of chips made in the U.S. has fallen from 37% in 1990 to about 12% today. There are still 20 fabrication plants, or “fabs,” producing the most common chips in the U.S., with production centered in California, Texas, Oregon, and Arizona. But South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan all have more global share than the U.S., and China is right behind.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/234b45b692801ef20f60ba4b9ef383eb\" tg-width=\"2768\" tg-height=\"1847\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">U.S. President Joe Biden delivers holds a semiconductor chip as he speaks prior to signing an executive order, aimed at addressing a global semiconductor chip shortage, in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, U.S., February 24, 2021. REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstJonathan Ernst / reuters</p>\n<p>It’s a familiar story. Costs related to labor and regulatory compliance are higher in the U.S. than overseas. Plus, foreign governments subsidize semiconductor production much more than in the U.S. A 2020 study by Boston Consulting Group and the Semiconductor Industry Association claims the 10-year cost of a chip fabrication plant in the U.S. is 30% higher than in Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore, and as much as 50% higher than the cost in China.</p>\n<p>The U.S. chip industry wants $50 billion in federal subsidies to make domestic chip manufacturing cost-competitive with overseas production. It might get it. In June, the Senate passed the CHIPS Act, in a rare bipartisan vote. The legislation would provide $52 billion in federal subsidies through 2027 for the production of chips on U.S. soil. The biggest incentives are tax breaks, plus Washington would fund costly research and match state and local incentives for building high-tech fabs.</p>\n<p>If the House passes the CHIPS Act and President Biden signs it — which he says he will — it will help fund the construction of 19 new fabs in the U.S., according to industry analysis, and help create 280,000 new jobs, many of them high-paying tech positions. Without the funding, the same analysis shows the U.S. share of new semiconductor capacity could drop to 6% by 2030.</p>\n<p>But that won’t help with the current shortage. “It takes three to four years to put a fab together,” says Pedro Pacheco, senior research director at the Gartner Group. “That’s not going to solve the microchip crisis. There’s really not a lot that can be done to solve this crisis in terms of building capacity. It takes too long until capacity can be available.”</p>\n<p>There are also the usual questions about subsidizing private industry with taxpayer dollars. With China aggressively subsidizing key industries, and many other nations following suit, it may well be time for the U.S. to adopt more formal industrial policy than it has in the past. But more government subsidies would still leave U.S. fabs with higher labor and regulatory costs than competitors based elsewhere, and there’s no guarantee U.S. automakers and other domestic manufacturers would prefer US-made chips.</p>\n<p>“Manufacturers care about the performance of the microchip, and obviously the cost, which is extremely important,” Pacheco says. “If you make it in the United States but it’s not cheaper or better, this will have a strong impact on their decision.”</p>\n<p>Government subsidies can also lead to demands for political involvement in corporate decision-making, and worse overall outcomes. Liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders, for instance, says the government should get a “piece of the action” — a share of profits — in exchange for billions in aid.</p>\n<p>Washington has subsidized the U.S. semiconductor industry before, such as in the 1980s and 1990s, amid concern about Japan’s growing role in the market. Some industry executives argued that changes in U.S. policy meant to protect the domestic industry favored a handful of big corporations while punishing smaller firms and startups that didn’t qualify for the same level of aid. Most of the subsidies from that era have expired.</p>\n<p>The U.S. chip industry won’t wither completely if Washington doesn’t help out. Arizona has been wooing chipmakers and the Taiwanese giant TSMC plans to build a $12 billion plant there. Intel said earlier this year it will spend $20 billion to build two new plants in Arizona. But subsidies could determine how much those facilities end up producing, and there are other risks, such as a lack of workers in the U.S. labor force that have the required tech skills.</p>\n<p>Analysts think the current chip shortage will last well into next year and perhaps return to equilibrium by the end of 2022. So new plants that take three or four years to build won’t help. Most semiconductors are purchased through contracts manufacturers have with suppliers, so it’s not as if governments can step in and reallocate chips to favored customers or industries. With capacity maxed out everywhere, making more chips available to one sector or one nation would simply divert them from other parts of the global economy.</p>\n<h2>Smaller steps to ease the shortage</h2>\n<p>There are a couple of smaller steps Biden could take. President Trump’s trade war against China included 25% tariffs on semiconductors imported from China, which effectively made them more expensive to US purchasers. Chinese semiconductors only account for about 5% of all imported chips, but the Trump tariffs still contributed to current shortages, according to trade expert Chad Bown of the Peterspn Institute for International Economics.</p>\n<p>Trump also banned the sale of American-made components, including semis, to the Chinese telecom giant Huawei. Huawei began getting chips from suppliers in Japan and South Korea that weren’t subject to the ban. China also boosted its own production of chips, to hedge against the risk of even more punitive U.S. action. U.S. chipmakers, meanwhile, lost a huge customer. All of that contributed to the disruptions occurring now. Biden could ease or repeal both of the Trump measures, and there have been indications he might.</p>\n<p>The broader lesson, however, is that global supply chains are more vulnerable to shocks than anybody knew when big firms got accustomed to sourcing components wherever they could get them cheaply and easily. And no government can readily undo 30 years of economic evolution. Biden needs to let voters know he's working on the chip shortage, but it might be easier to lower health care costs or boost green energy and hope he gets credit for that, instead.</p>\n<p><b><i>Rick Newman is the author of four books, including \"</i></b><b>Rebounders: How Winners Pivot from Setback to Success.</b><b><i>” Follow him on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>: @rickjnewman.

But he’s been unable to address a problem that is holding back the U.S. economy in real-time, right now: the global shortage of semiconductors, key processors in thousands of consumer and industrial products.\nA variety of factors conspired with the coronavirus pandemic to create more demand for semiconductors than manufacturers can meet. The shortfall has slammed the car industry, forcing manufacturers including Ford (F), General Motors (GM) and Chrysler to halt production of some of their most popular models. The pace of U.S. car sales in August was the lowest in 15 months, largely because carmakers can’t produce all the vehicles consumers want to buy.\nSome video-game consoles are impossible to find. Appliances have chips, too, and there are delays in deliveries of refrigerators, microwaves, and washing machines. Apple (AAPL) has said chip shortages could affect the availability of iPhones this fall. The shortages are depressing economic output and forcing economists to lower their growth expectations for the rest of 2021. They’re also pushing prices up, contributing to inflation that now stands at 5.4%.\nBiden is fully aware of the problem. A June White House report on supply chain vulnerabilities identified semiconductors as one of four priority areas where the U.S. must develop new domestic capacity. But that report acknowledged that “the private sector must take the lead in addressing the shortage” and identified the government’s role as one of assisting. Meanwhile, manufacturers such as Intel (INTC) and Micron (MU) are reluctant to add new production capacity, which is expensive and requires frequent retooling. The chip business also endures boom-bust cycles that can brutalize producers that end up with overcapacity during a downturn. For manufacturers, light supply, including shortages, is better than over-investing and facing steep losses in the future.\nYet another U.S. business that went overseas\nLike other industries, the semiconductor business grew up in America and migrated overseas. American firms still account for roughly half of all global sales of semiconductors. But giants such as Intel, Micron, Broadcom (AVGO), Qualcomm (QCOM) and Texas Instruments (TXN) now produce some of their chips overseas or contract out production to overseas producers. The semiconductor industry says the portion of chips made in the U.S. has fallen from 37% in 1990 to about 12% today. There are still 20 fabrication plants, or “fabs,” producing the most common chips in the U.S., with production centered in California, Texas, Oregon, and Arizona. But South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan all have more global share than the U.S., and China is right behind.\nU.S. President Joe Biden delivers holds a semiconductor chip as he speaks prior to signing an executive order, aimed at addressing a global semiconductor chip shortage, in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, U.S., February 24, 2021. REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstJonathan Ernst / reuters\nIt’s a familiar story. Costs related to labor and regulatory compliance are higher in the U.S. than overseas. Plus, foreign governments subsidize semiconductor production much more than in the U.S. A 2020 study by Boston Consulting Group and the Semiconductor Industry Association claims the 10-year cost of a chip fabrication plant in the U.S. is 30% higher than in Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore, and as much as 50% higher than the cost in China.\nThe U.S. chip industry wants $50 billion in federal subsidies to make domestic chip manufacturing cost-competitive with overseas production. It might get it. In June, the Senate passed the CHIPS Act, in a rare bipartisan vote. The legislation would provide $52 billion in federal subsidies through 2027 for the production of chips on U.S. soil. The biggest incentives are tax breaks, plus Washington would fund costly research and match state and local incentives for building high-tech fabs.\nIf the House passes the CHIPS Act and President Biden signs it — which he says he will — it will help fund the construction of 19 new fabs in the U.S., according to industry analysis, and help create 280,000 new jobs, many of them high-paying tech positions. Without the funding, the same analysis shows the U.S. share of new semiconductor capacity could drop to 6% by 2030.\nBut that won’t help with the current shortage. “It takes three to four years to put a fab together,” says Pedro Pacheco, senior research director at the Gartner Group. “That’s not going to solve the microchip crisis. There’s really not a lot that can be done to solve this crisis in terms of building capacity. It takes too long until capacity can be available.”\nThere are also the usual questions about subsidizing private industry with taxpayer dollars. With China aggressively subsidizing key industries, and many other nations following suit, it may well be time for the U.S. to adopt more formal industrial policy than it has in the past. But more government subsidies would still leave U.S. fabs with higher labor and regulatory costs than competitors based elsewhere, and there’s no guarantee U.S. automakers and other domestic manufacturers would prefer US-made chips.\n“Manufacturers care about the performance of the microchip, and obviously the cost, which is extremely important,” Pacheco says. “If you make it in the United States but it’s not cheaper or better, this will have a strong impact on their decision.”\nGovernment subsidies can also lead to demands for political involvement in corporate decision-making, and worse overall outcomes. Liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders, for instance, says the government should get a “piece of the action” — a share of profits — in exchange for billions in aid.\nWashington has subsidized the U.S. semiconductor industry before, such as in the 1980s and 1990s, amid concern about Japan’s growing role in the market. Some industry executives argued that changes in U.S. policy meant to protect the domestic industry favored a handful of big corporations while punishing smaller firms and startups that didn’t qualify for the same level of aid. Most of the subsidies from that era have expired.\nThe U.S. chip industry won’t wither completely if Washington doesn’t help out. Arizona has been wooing chipmakers and the Taiwanese giant TSMC plans to build a $12 billion plant there. Intel said earlier this year it will spend $20 billion to build two new plants in Arizona. But subsidies could determine how much those facilities end up producing, and there are other risks, such as a lack of workers in the U.S. labor force that have the required tech skills.\nAnalysts think the current chip shortage will last well into next year and perhaps return to equilibrium by the end of 2022. So new plants that take three or four years to build won’t help. Most semiconductors are purchased through contracts manufacturers have with suppliers, so it’s not as if governments can step in and reallocate chips to favored customers or industries. With capacity maxed out everywhere, making more chips available to one sector or one nation would simply divert them from other parts of the global economy.\nSmaller steps to ease the shortage\nThere are a couple of smaller steps Biden could take. President Trump’s trade war against China included 25% tariffs on semiconductors imported from China, which effectively made them more expensive to US purchasers. Chinese semiconductors only account for about 5% of all imported chips, but the Trump tariffs still contributed to current shortages, according to trade expert Chad Bown of the Peterspn Institute for International Economics.\nTrump also banned the sale of American-made components, including semis, to the Chinese telecom giant Huawei. Huawei began getting chips from suppliers in Japan and South Korea that weren’t subject to the ban. China also boosted its own production of chips, to hedge against the risk of even more punitive U.S. action. U.S. chipmakers, meanwhile, lost a huge customer. All of that contributed to the disruptions occurring now. Biden could ease or repeal both of the Trump measures, and there have been indications he might.\nThe broader lesson, however, is that global supply chains are more vulnerable to shocks than anybody knew when big firms got accustomed to sourcing components wherever they could get them cheaply and easily. And no government can readily undo 30 years of economic evolution. Biden needs to let voters know he's working on the chip shortage, but it might be easier to lower health care costs or boost green energy and hope he gets credit for that, instead.\nRick Newman is the author of four books, including \"Rebounders: How Winners Pivot from Setback to Success.” Follow him on Twitter: @rickjnewman.

Bernie Sanders' budget committee, are deep and substantive differences over the size and scope of specific programs.\n\nManchin has voiced concerns about Biden’s plan to spend $400 billion for home caregivers.\nHe's also talking about means testing on other key proposals, including extending the enhanced Child Tax Credit, which provides up to an additional $300 per child per month, free community college, universal preschool and child care tax credits.\nAnd he’s skeptical that so-called dynamic scoring— whichDemocrats embracedas a way to offset some costs of hard infrastructure spending — can be applied to “human” or “soft” infrastructure proposals.\nFor years, Republicans have relied on dynamic scoring to argue that tax cuts can pay for themselves in the long run, by growing the economy and therefore increasing revenues.\n\nCommittees in the House and Senate have until September 15, next Wednesday, to finalize specific legislation outlining how to spend the $3.5 trillion, while raising $1.5 trillion in new revenue from higher taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations, as well as tax enforcement activities.\nLast week, however, Manchin threw the processinto disarray after arguing for a \"strategic pause\" in a WSJ Op-Ed, citing inflation and the need to leave a buffer to respond to future Covid-19 pandemic needs if the virus ramps up again.\nHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), meanwhile, has promised centrist Democrats a vote on a separate $1.2 trillion ($550 billion in new spending) bill, which progressive Democrats say they'll vote down unless the $3.5 trillion budget blueprint.\nPresident Biden doesn't seem to think Joe Manchin will be a problem, saying at the White House Tuesday evening that \"Joe at the end has always been there,\" adding \"He's always been with me. I think we can work something out. I look forward to speaking with him.\"\nThe White House is reportedly still optimistic that a deal can be reached.\n\"Sanders wanted a large number and Manchin wants a smaller number and we’re going to work this process to try to reach common ground,\" once source toldAxios. \"There is a wide spectrum of opinions in the Democratic caucuses, and plenty of negotiation will take place. But we will continue to get this done, finding common ground.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":61,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889992969,"gmtCreate":1631100302051,"gmtModify":1676530467154,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578526149260573","idStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia&nbsp;","listText":"Nvidia&nbsp;","text":"Nvidia","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11c60afec6050d889a29907fcf92f2e5","width":"750","height":"2687"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889992969","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880451901,"gmtCreate":1631075125903,"gmtModify":1676530460584,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578526149260573","idStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

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

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

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810877432,"gmtCreate":1629967768326,"gmtModify":1676530186957,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So wise to bow out when it’s deem not&nbsp;viable.

The withdrawal could make other tech companies rethink their e-wallet strategy and pave the way for industry consolidation.</p>\n<p>\"The app will no longer be available from October 1, 2021 onwards,\" Razer said in a notice on its website, instructing account holders to withdraw their balance. Payments will only be accepted until the end of this month, and new sign-ups are no longer allowed.</p>\n<p>Razer's e-wallet shutdown comes as the high costs of customer acquisition weigh on operators. The company explained it will narrow its focus to&nbsp;business-to-business&nbsp;digital payments, in which it provides payment processing services for merchants.</p>\n<p>\"We took the view that&nbsp;if you have capital -- not unlimited -- and if you want to invest in certain areas, it was the decision that the B2B business has the opportunity,\" said Lee Li Meng, Razer's chief strategy officer and head of its fintech unit. He told reporters on Wednesday that the e-wallet business involves a lot of user acquisition costs, \"especially in Southeast Asia.\"</p>\n<p>Razer Pay was launched first in Malaysia in July 2018 and then Singapore in March 2019, acquiring about 1.1 million users in total.</p>\n<p>Originally, Razer started the payment service to allow gamers to buy its gaming items online. Then it expanded the service for nongamers by installing it at offline merchants such as convenience stores and even vending machines. Touted as an \"e-wallet for youths and millennials,\" it targeted young consumers, including those who do not have a bank account or a credit card.</p>\n<p>But competition in the field only intensified. Like Razer, many tech companies entered the e-wallet space as an extension of their existing business, such as ride-hailing, hoping to tap the region's nascent payment market. Malaysia alone, for example, had 53 providers as of October last year, of which 47 were not banks, according to a report by S&amp;P Global.</p>\n<p>The biggest e-wallet operators in Southeast Asia include Singapore's Grab and Indonesia's Gojek. They have been aggressively expanding GrabPay and GoPay as the core of their \"superapp\" strategies. There are also well-funded local champions such as Vietnam's MoMo. Traditional banks, like DBS Group Holdings, also have a strong presence.</p>\n<p>Notably, Singapore's e-commerce giant Sea has dramatically increased its e-wallet presence over the past year as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digitalization. It spent as much as $166 million on marketing its digital finance business during the April-June quarter, such as cash-back campaigns, resulting in a quarterly&nbsp;operating loss of $159 million for that&nbsp;business.</p>\n<p>\"For a platform that primarily centers on gaming, convincing both existing Razer users and, more importantly, new users to use Razer Pay would have been incredibly challenging and expensive, especially as gaming doesn't naturally tie into spending money, say, in a convenience store or buying groceries online,\" said Zennon Kapron, director at financial research company Kapronasia in Singapore.</p>\n<p>\"Razer seems to have come to the realization that continuing to grow the e-wallet business would have been both incredibly expensive and a continuing distraction to their core business of gaming.\"</p>\n<p>Indeed, Razer appears to be much more focused on its core gaming business, which has steadily grown throughout the pandemic. On Wednesday, the Hong Kong-listed company reported a net profit of $33.9 million for the six months through June, compared with a $17.3 million net loss a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the focus of Southeast Asia's e-wallet battle is shifting to the next phase. E-wallet operators hope to add other services such as online lending and microinsurance to scale their fintech businesses. Sea, for example, acquired a bank in Indonesia to provide digital banking services in the country.</p>\n<p>Razer had also eyed that direction. It applied for a digital banking license in Singapore. \"We know in the long run&nbsp;a wallet by itself, just as a payment, is something that's very difficult to make money [with] because there's competition not just in a country but regionally with the bigger players,\" Lee told Nikkei Asia in an interview in early 2020.</p>\n<p>But Razer lost in the digital bank bidding to Sea and Grab, which might have made the company rethink its consumer fintech strategy.</p>\n<p>With Razer heading for the exit, the pressure is growing for other e-wallet players.</p>\n<p>\"Losses appear to be mounting for technology firms,\" an analyst at S&amp;P Global said in the report, pointing out that revenues from payment services are limited. \"The e-money market could see consolidation, and the tech firms are likely to seek mergers or close collaborations.\"</p>\n<p>Kapron pointed out that a unique value proposition is critical for an e-wallet. \"The e-wallet space in ASEAN won't be won necessarily by size, but by ecosystem,\" he said, noting that Tencent Holdings' WeChat Pay in China is successful because millions of Chinese use the app not just to pay for things but also to chat with friends and be entertained.</p>\n<p>\"The ASEAN wallet that is able to provide a similar sticky value proposition that encourages users to use the platform on a daily basis will be the winner,\" Kapron said.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The withdrawal could make other tech companies rethink their e-wallet strategy and pave the way for industry consolidation.\n\"The app will no longer be available from October 1, 2021 onwards,\" Razer said in a notice on its website, instructing account holders to withdraw their balance. Payments will only be accepted until the end of this month, and new sign-ups are no longer allowed.\nRazer's e-wallet shutdown comes as the high costs of customer acquisition weigh on operators. The company explained it will narrow its focus to business-to-business digital payments, in which it provides payment processing services for merchants.\n\"We took the view that if you have capital -- not unlimited -- and if you want to invest in certain areas, it was the decision that the B2B business has the opportunity,\" said Lee Li Meng, Razer's chief strategy officer and head of its fintech unit. He told reporters on Wednesday that the e-wallet business involves a lot of user acquisition costs, \"especially in Southeast Asia.\"\nRazer Pay was launched first in Malaysia in July 2018 and then Singapore in March 2019, acquiring about 1.1 million users in total.\nOriginally, Razer started the payment service to allow gamers to buy its gaming items online. Then it expanded the service for nongamers by installing it at offline merchants such as convenience stores and even vending machines. Touted as an \"e-wallet for youths and millennials,\" it targeted young consumers, including those who do not have a bank account or a credit card.\nBut competition in the field only intensified. Like Razer, many tech companies entered the e-wallet space as an extension of their existing business, such as ride-hailing, hoping to tap the region's nascent payment market. Malaysia alone, for example, had 53 providers as of October last year, of which 47 were not banks, according to a report by S&P Global.\nThe biggest e-wallet operators in Southeast Asia include Singapore's Grab and Indonesia's Gojek. They have been aggressively expanding GrabPay and GoPay as the core of their \"superapp\" strategies. There are also well-funded local champions such as Vietnam's MoMo. Traditional banks, like DBS Group Holdings, also have a strong presence.\nNotably, Singapore's e-commerce giant Sea has dramatically increased its e-wallet presence over the past year as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digitalization. It spent as much as $166 million on marketing its digital finance business during the April-June quarter, such as cash-back campaigns, resulting in a quarterly operating loss of $159 million for that business.\n\"For a platform that primarily centers on gaming, convincing both existing Razer users and, more importantly, new users to use Razer Pay would have been incredibly challenging and expensive, especially as gaming doesn't naturally tie into spending money, say, in a convenience store or buying groceries online,\" said Zennon Kapron, director at financial research company Kapronasia in Singapore.\n\"Razer seems to have come to the realization that continuing to grow the e-wallet business would have been both incredibly expensive and a continuing distraction to their core business of gaming.\"\nIndeed, Razer appears to be much more focused on its core gaming business, which has steadily grown throughout the pandemic. On Wednesday, the Hong Kong-listed company reported a net profit of $33.9 million for the six months through June, compared with a $17.3 million net loss a year earlier.\nMeanwhile, the focus of Southeast Asia's e-wallet battle is shifting to the next phase. E-wallet operators hope to add other services such as online lending and microinsurance to scale their fintech businesses. Sea, for example, acquired a bank in Indonesia to provide digital banking services in the country.\nRazer had also eyed that direction. It applied for a digital banking license in Singapore. \"We know in the long run a wallet by itself, just as a payment, is something that's very difficult to make money [with] because there's competition not just in a country but regionally with the bigger players,\" Lee told Nikkei Asia in an interview in early 2020.\nBut Razer lost in the digital bank bidding to Sea and Grab, which might have made the company rethink its consumer fintech strategy.\nWith Razer heading for the exit, the pressure is growing for other e-wallet players.\n\"Losses appear to be mounting for technology firms,\" an analyst at S&P Global said in the report, pointing out that revenues from payment services are limited. \"The e-money market could see consolidation, and the tech firms are likely to seek mergers or close collaborations.\"\nKapron pointed out that a unique value proposition is critical for an e-wallet. \"The e-wallet space in ASEAN won't be won necessarily by size, but by ecosystem,\" he said, noting that Tencent Holdings' WeChat Pay in China is successful because millions of Chinese use the app not just to pay for things but also to chat with friends and be entertained.\n\"The ASEAN wallet that is able to provide a similar sticky value proposition that encourages users to use the platform on a daily basis will be the winner,\" Kapron said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":24,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808011651,"gmtCreate":1627543122373,"gmtModify":1703492013459,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09988\">$Alibaba(09988)$</a>Lesson learnt - no more buying of China tech stocks.

That was up almost 19% and higher than the $12.55 billion consensus. Technology research company Gartner estimated earlier this month that PC manufacturers shipped nearly 70 million units in the quarter, 32% more than in the year-ago quarter, the fastest growth since Gartner started tracking the PC market in 2000.\nThat benefits Microsoft’s sales of Windows licenses to PC makers, which were up 10%. There are now over 1.3 billion monthly active devices running the Windows 10 operating system, Nadella said.\nThe outcome was greater than Microsoft itself had forecast. In January, Hood called for Windows license revenue from device makers to be up in the low single digits.\nThe PC market endured “significant ongoing constraints in the supply chain,” Hood said on Tuesday.\nAt the same time, the gross margin for Microsoft’s broad Commercial Cloud category of products — including Azure, commercial subscriptions to the Office 365 productivity bundle, cloud-based Dynamics 365 enterprise applications and commercial parts of LinkedIn — narrowed to 70% from 71%. The number is important to investors who want to see that Microsoft can continue to make Azure more profitable.\nThe operating margin for the Intelligent Cloud segment that includes Azure also narrowed to 42.5% from about 44.5%. Microsoft’s overall operating margin came in at 40.9%, down from 41.6%.\nMicrosoft said in the quarter it had won a U.S. Army contract worth up to $21.9 billion over a decade for augmented reality headsets based on its latest HoloLens device. The company also issued patches to address vulnerabilities in its Exchange Server on-premises email and calendar software that Chinese hackers exploited. It also closed the $8.1 billion acquisition of video game maker ZeniMax Media.\nNotwithstanding the after-hours move, Microsoft shares are up 18% year to date, compared with a gain of around 12% for the S&P 500 over the same time period.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373739924,"gmtCreate":1618882361968,"gmtModify":1704716288512,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting for further&nbsp;Investigations to shed light on what Elon Musk has denied&nbsp;","listText":"Waiting for further&nbsp;Investigations to shed light on what Elon Musk has denied&nbsp;","text":"Waiting for further Investigations to shed light on what Elon Musk has denied","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373739924","repostId":"1124188831","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124188831","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618878379,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124188831?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-20 08:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk says Autopilot was not enabled in Tesla crash in Texas","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124188831","media":"cnbc","summary":"Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday denied that his company’s automated driving systems were involved in a fatal crash in Spring, Texas, on Saturday.Two federal agencies, the NHTSA and the NTSB, are investigating the crash now along with local police.None have completed their comprehensive investigations, and their preliminary findings are not conclusive.On Monday,TeslaCEO Elon Musk tweeted a denial that his company’s automated driving systems were involved in afatal crash in Spring, Texas.Two federal","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nTesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday denied that his company’s automated driving systems were involved in a fatal crash in Spring, Texas, on Saturday.\nTwo federal agencies, the NHTSA and the NTSB...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/19/elon-musk-autopilot-not-used-in-texas-tesla-crash.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.”\nTesla sells its automated driving systems under the brand monikers Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, or FSD. It also releases a “beta” version of FSD software to some customers who have the premium FSD option, which costs $10,000.\nTesla Autopilot and FSD are not capable of controlling the electric vehicles in all normal driving circumstances, and the company’s owner’s manuals caution drivers to only use them with “active supervision.”\nAutopilot, which is now standard in Tesla vehicles,does not always perfectly identify lane markers— for example, it can confuse sealed cracks in the road or bike lanes with other lane markers.\nThe system can also be misused or abused by drivers. A teen driverrecently demonstratedin a stunt video he shared on social media that he could leave the driver’s seat with his Tesla’s Autopilot system remaining in use.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":169,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817575758,"gmtCreate":1630978032374,"gmtModify":1676530432286,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Really ?&nbsp;","listText":"Really ?&nbsp;","text":"Really ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817575758","repostId":"1111718235","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193532276,"gmtCreate":1620797960995,"gmtModify":1704348574361,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09988\">$Alibaba(09988)$</a>Looking forward to earning report tomr&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09988\">$Alibaba(09988)$</a>Looking forward to earning report tomr&nbsp;","text":"$Alibaba(09988)$Looking forward to earning report tomr","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fe0c08f38dcb7005b18555e7507f329","width":"750","height":"1300"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/193532276","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":623,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374862124,"gmtCreate":1619438892868,"gmtModify":1704723842982,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LI\">$Li Auto(LI)$</a>Will do better soon&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LI\">$Li Auto(LI)$</a>Will do better soon&nbsp;","text":"$Li Auto(LI)$Will do better soon","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8eca078827b84854547d4918802df75","width":"750","height":"1300"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374862124","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342060743,"gmtCreate":1618129349282,"gmtModify":1704706869392,"author":{"id":"3578526149260573","authorId":"3578526149260573","name":"Muffingal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8912d7c784a51214590f1c8369ef03de","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578526149260573","authorIdStr":"3578526149260573"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"After paying the price of arrogance, can&nbsp;Ma move on now?&nbsp;","listText":"After paying the price of arrogance, can&nbsp;Ma move on now?&nbsp;","text":"After paying the price of arrogance, can Ma move on now?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342060743","repostId":"2126030131","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2126030131","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1618124861,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2126030131?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-11 15:07","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"NEWSMAKER-Record penalty for Ma's Alibaba marks tumultuous stretch for its founder","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2126030131","media":"Reuters","summary":"By Tony Munroe   BEIJING, April 11 (Reuters) - Once seemingly untouchable, Alibaba founder Jack Ma h","content":"<html><body><p>By Tony Munroe</p><p>   BEIJING, April 11 (Reuters) - Once seemingly untouchable, Alibaba founder Jack Ma has endured a tumultuous run that saw his Chinese e-commerce giant hit with a record 18 billion yuan ($2.75 billion) antitrust fine on Saturday, resolving <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> key uncertainty even as others persist for himself and his business empire.</p><p>   The reversal of fortune for the 56-year-old Ma, who has all-but-disappeared from public view since an October speech blasting China's regulatory system, has been striking for an entrepreneur whose transformation of commerce in China - and his relentless optimism - commanded cult-like reverence.            </p><p>   Ma, who stepped down from Alibaba in 2019 but looms large in the corporate psyche and in the eyes of investors, had revelled in pushing boundaries with audacious statements, taking a high profile even as most Chinese peers kept their heads down. </p><p>   Friends in high places, as well as pride in Alibaba's success, had protected Ma, sources have said.  </p><p>   That was until his Shanghai speech triggered a backlash that led to the scuppering of a blockbuster $37 billion IPO for Alibaba financial technology affiliate Ant Group, as well as a clampdown by authorities on the e-commerce giant itself and the wider \"platform economy\", which continues to reverberate.</p><p>   Ant, whose rapid growth and freewheeling lending practices drew regulatory concern about financial risk, remains subject to an enforced restructuring that is expected to rein in some of its most profitable businesses and slash its valuation.</p><p>   \"Entrepreneurship has to be disruptive. But being provocative to the government has its limits,\" said Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijing-based tech consultancy BDA China and author of a book on Alibaba and Ma. </p><p>   Saturday's settlement, he said, \"should draw a line\" under the matter for Alibaba. ] </p><p>   \"But for Ant and Jack, there's no line drawn yet,\" he said.</p><p>   Alibaba declined to comment on Ma, and his foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.</p><p>   CONSPICUOUS ABSENCE</p><p>   Ma's absence from public view became conspicuous until he surfaced for the first time in three months in late January, speaking to a group of teachers by video, which sent Alibaba shares surging. He has continued to keep an extremely low profile.  </p><p>   \"He's playing a lot of golf and improving his handicap,\" said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> person who knows him.</p><p>   A former English teacher, Ma co-founded Alibaba   </p><p>  in 1999 from a shared apartment in the eastern city of Hangzhou, ultimately building a colossus that spans e-commerce, financial services, cloud computing and even supermarkets, making him China's most famous businessman.</p><p>   He was also China's richest, until the clampdown knocked him back to fourth place on the Hurun Global Rich List published in March, although Ma and his family's wealth still grew last year by 22% to 360 billion yuan, according to the list.  </p><p>   As of last July, he owned 4.8% of Alibaba. </p><p>   In 2018, Ma was revealed to be a Communist Party member by its official newspaper, debunking a public assumption that he was politically unattached. </p><p>   'ARROGANCE DISCOUNT'</p><p>   Ma has often been described in Chinese media as a source of national pride and even legend. His global prominence made him an almost-diplomatic figure. Countless books have been published on Alibaba's founding and Ma's business tactics.</p><p>   Ma-isms such as \"Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine\", are common in Chinese business circles. In Hangzhou, small firms have been known to set up altars adorned with images of Ma to bring good fortune.</p><p>   But in a February snub, Ma was left off a list of Chinese entrepreneurial leaders published by state media.  </p><p>   Franklin Chu, president of Sage Capital in Rye, New York, noted that Alibaba shares are trading at a 30% discount to their 52-week high.</p><p>   \"I call this the 'Jack Ma arrogance discount,' combined with the recent round of China-bashing coming out of Washington,\" he said.</p><p>   Alibaba, he said, \"needs to work hard to re-establish an accommodative relationship with its regulatory handlers.\"</p><p>   Since stepping back from the company, Ma has sought to focus his time on philanthropy and education, including his charitable trust, the Jack Ma Foundation, and two schools in Hangzhou.</p><p>   Ma was an active conference participant, making at least 12 appearances in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic began. In March 2020, he opened a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> account - the platform is blocked in China - which mainly tweeted about his foundation's COVID-19 prevention efforts. Its last tweet was on Oct. 10.</p><p>   \"It's crucial for Chinese entrepreneurs to be low-key. Don't speak casually. And don't say anything wrong,\" Edward Chen, chairman of Shanghai-based fintech consultancy China Rising Group, said in a social media video post.</p><p>   \"Prudence in words and action is the No. 1 priority so that Chinese entrepreneurs can live longer.\"</p><p>   ($1 = 6.5522 Chinese yuan renminbi)</p><p>    &lt;^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ China fines Alibaba record $2.75 bln for anti-monopoly violations       TIMELINE-Events leading up to China's fine on Alibaba   </p><p>   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&gt;</p><p>(Reporting by Tony Munroe in Beijing, Brenda Goh, Samuel Shen and Josh Horwitz in Shanghai, Kane Wu in Hong Kong and Ross Kerber in Boston;
