Locking in those large gains makes a lot of sense, given the downside risks mentioned above.\nFor those reasons, if you own AMC stock, now is a great time to sell.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":672,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889460242,"gmtCreate":1631170305486,"gmtModify":1676530486118,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"the motley clowns","listText":"the motley clowns","text":"the motley clowns","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889460242","repostId":"1174332657","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1174332657","pubTimestamp":1631168952,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174332657?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-09 14:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMC, Clover, and Other Meme Stocks Tumbled On Wednesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174332657","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The notion that groups of individual investors can consistently organize efforts to push stock prices around is starting to crumble.

The pair said the only sector drawing retail investor appetite appeared to be Chinese ADRs.\nAMC remains up more than 2,000% this year and carries a market value of about $23.8 billion, larger than companies like Hormel Foods Corp. and Caesars Entertainment Inc.\nMore stories like this are available on bloomberg.com\nSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.\n©2021 Bloomberg L.P.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":534,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":837373659,"gmtCreate":1629860137171,"gmtModify":1676530154797,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a>Holding until PNL look like my phone number, GET RICH OR DIE BUYING","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a>Holding until PNL look like my phone number, GET RICH OR DIE BUYING","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$Holding until PNL look like my phone number, GET RICH OR DIE BUYING","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/837373659","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893986611,"gmtCreate":1628229427433,"gmtModify":1703503586403,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Or maybe tell us about the million FTDs who's due date's are all striking between today and like a week later?","listText":"Or maybe tell us about the million FTDs who's due date's are all striking between today and like a week later?","text":"Or maybe tell us about the million FTDs who's due date's are all striking between today and like a week later?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/893986611","repostId":"2157343073","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":649,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808352146,"gmtCreate":1627560276685,"gmtModify":1703492362824,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Of course it's the fool again, haha","listText":"Of course it's the fool again, haha","text":"Of course it's the fool again, haha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808352146","repostId":"2155909002","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2155909002","pubTimestamp":1627558355,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155909002?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 19:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Ultra-Popular Stocks May Fall 50% to 97%, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155909002","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Analysts' lowest price targets for these widely held stocks implies some serious downside.","content":"<p>For more than a year, the stock market has been virtually unstoppable.

Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.</p>\n<p>The allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.</p>\n<p>Although it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years.

Traders monitoring Reddit's WallStreetBets online forum and other investors driven by social media have enjoyed some success trying to force short squeezes. But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.</p>\n<p>Let's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.</p>\n<h2>1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?</h2>\n<p>Thanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F632064%2Fgettyimages-1162949169.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"399\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Since Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.</p>\n<p>Theater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.</p>\n<p>Yes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.</p>\n<h2>2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough</h2>\n<p>Thanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the <b>Russell 1000</b>.</p>\n<p>It also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran <b>Amazon</b>'s Australia operations during a period of high growth.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.</p>\n<h2>3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market</h2>\n<p>Koss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.</p>\n<p>After decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as <b>Apple </b>and <b>Sony</b>. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.</p>\n<p>This disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period.

Traders monitoring Reddit's WallStreetBets online forum and other investors driven by social media have enjoyed some success trying to force short squeezes. But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.\nLet's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.\n1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?\nThanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSince Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.\nNonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.\nTheater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.\nUnfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.\nYes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.\n2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough\nThanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the Russell 1000.\nIt also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran Amazon's Australia operations during a period of high growth.\nUnfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a one-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.\nNonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.\nFurthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.\n3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market\nKoss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.\nAfter decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.\nUnfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as Apple and Sony. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.\nThis disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period. Koss managed to reverse the losses suffered during 2020 and posted a profit of almost $162,000 during that time.\nHowever, the forgiveness of a $507,000 Small Business Administration loan and a $379,000 gain from the settlement of a short sale drove the positive net income. Otherwise, Koss would have lost $724,000 during that period, more than the $624,000 loss from the first nine months of 2020.\nMoreover, it has reported about $982,000 in negative cash flows during the current fiscal year and holds just over $6 million in cash. Given that financial state, it may struggle to finance the marketing and product improvements necessary to keep up with larger competitors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":159579671,"gmtCreate":1624975542093,"gmtModify":1703849261700,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","listText":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","text":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159579671","repostId":"2147585785","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2147585785","pubTimestamp":1624975347,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147585785?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 22:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 3 Stocks Will Plunge 50% or More -- If You Believe Wall Street's Bears","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147585785","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Will short-sellers get proven right on these companies?","content":"<p>There's a lot of controversy right now about stocks going through difficult times.

It's entirely possible that even if their underlying businesses see ongoing signs of recovery, their shares could still fall in the short run from current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575277705944076","authorId":"3575277705944076","name":"JustStonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a85f9246d3c1c5337dd21fec2ec401d","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575277705944076","authorIdStr":"3575277705944076"},"content":"Imagine the money they spend on media to spread fear but didnt wanna cover their shorts. hahahaha","text":"Imagine the money they spend on media to spread fear but didnt wanna cover their shorts. hahahaha","html":"Imagine the money they spend on media to spread fear but didnt wanna cover their shorts. hahahaha"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129491120,"gmtCreate":1624379780460,"gmtModify":1703835116037,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"classic motley fool FUD","listText":"classic motley fool FUD","text":"classic motley fool FUD","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129491120","repostId":"2145052095","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2145052095","pubTimestamp":1624375500,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2145052095?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget AMC: These 3 Meme Stocks Actually Have a Future","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145052095","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Not all meme stocks are alike.","content":"<p>Having a long-term outlook has always been an investor's greatest hidden asset.

With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.</p>\n<p>The allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.</p>\n<p>Although it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years.

That makes it a stock worth avoiding at all costs.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":449,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":159579671,"gmtCreate":1624975542093,"gmtModify":1703849261700,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","listText":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","text":"nice more motley FUD, how much citadel pay you?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159579671","repostId":"2147585785","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2147585785","pubTimestamp":1624975347,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147585785?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 22:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 3 Stocks Will Plunge 50% or More -- If You Believe Wall Street's Bears","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147585785","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Will short-sellers get proven right on these companies?","content":"<p>There's a lot of controversy right now about stocks going through difficult times.

And, at some point, people will want to take profits.</p>\n<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b>(NYSE:AMC),<b>Skillz</b>(NYSE:SKLZ), and&nbsp;<b>Tonix Pharmaceuticals</b>(NASDAQ:TNXP)&nbsp;fell 0.9%, 8.3%, and 4.2% as of closed on Wednesday, with the fickle meme stock trading crowd reversing recent bullishness. Leading the charge for today's rout, however, is&nbsp;<b>Clover Health Investments</b>(NASDAQ:CLOV), down 12.5%.</p>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>If you're looking for the headlines behind the moves, don't bother. There aren't any.</p>\n<p>As has been the case for the past few months, traders looking for a speculative edge are simply gathering around these stocks in an effort to collectively create the price action they desire, often by creating memes regarding these companies. Such efforts cause incredible price volatility.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ba4680fa5e89ea08b364002d70d086f\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1201\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p>Many of these names -- like Clover this week -- have also been recently targeted as short-squeeze candidates. That's not a terribly bad bet right now either, to be fair, in that more than 7% of the outstanding shares of the&nbsp;health insurance&nbsp;company are currently tied up in short trades. That's enough short positions to prospectively spark en masse buying that drives the price sharply higher,<i>if</i>those short-sellers start becoming unnerved by a bit of bullishness. Tuesday's 15% jump for Clover shares didn't do the trick, however, with most of that gain being given back today.</p>\n<p>Shares of movie theater chain AMC Entertainment aren't really helping the broader bullish effort either. While one would expect this king of all meme stocks to soar following reports of&nbsp;record-breaking&nbsp;Labor Day weekend box office ticket sales, a bit of Tuesday's near-9% gain from AMC shares is also unwinding with Wednesday's1% sell-off. While that's hardly a devastating setback, the failure to follow through on Tuesday's advance is telling in and of itself.</p>\n<p>Of course, the broad market's sell-off today is also creating a headwind for these well-known meme stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Now what</b></p>\n<p>The advent of&nbsp;meme stock&nbsp;mania (and in particular, organized efforts to spark short squeezes) comes as no real surprise. If you give enough people enough time and the means of doing so, it's reasonable to expect them to capitalize on an opportunity -- including one they must plan out on one of the internet's more popular message boards. A little success on this front early this year prompted the trading crowd to replicate the effort.</p>\n<p>Regardless of the strategy's previous effectiveness, however, meme stock mania is losing steam. Not only are hedge funds and other managed investment pools now shoring up their risk exposure to short squeezes, traders are also running out of stocks they can push around.</p>\n<p>They're also running out of other buyers and bullish arguments.</p>\n<p>See, for most meme stocks to continue their rallies, new buyers must bring new money to the table to purchase shares from traders that have already scooped up the stock and are now looking to lock in a sizable profit. Enough people were willing to take such a swing early in the year when AMC was trading around $2 per share. Now that it's trading at more than $46 per share, however, would-be buyers are considerably less interested. Underscoring this idea is the fact that shares of Tonix Pharmaceuticals and Clover Health have yet to respond to the same rally driving strategies that -- at least for a while -- buoyed AMC stock. In a similar vein, Skillz shares have also stopped responding to the bullish prompts that drove the stock from around $11 per share in November of last year to February's high in excess of $46. They're now back near $11, unable to keep a rally going.</p>\n<p>There's something of a litmus test for the entire meme stock movement due this afternoon. Another meme stock company,<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:GME), is slated to report its fiscal second-quarter numbers after today's closing bell rings. The numbers are important. But even more important is whether or not the trading crowd relaying on the web's popular message boards will be able to convince others to start and sustain a rally from GameStop. If it can, other meme stocks like AMC and Clover will remain at least somewhat in play. If it can't, it may well be a sign that the underlying strategy of individual traders targeting one ticker at a time is no longer effective.

At some point, companies must prove their stock's value. And, at some point, people will want to take profits.\nWhat happened\nShares of AMC Entertainment Holdings(NYSE:AMC),Skillz(NYSE:SKLZ), and Tonix Pharmaceuticals(NASDAQ:TNXP) fell 0.9%, 8.3%, and 4.2% as of closed on Wednesday, with the fickle meme stock trading crowd reversing recent bullishness. Leading the charge for today's rout, however, is Clover Health Investments(NASDAQ:CLOV), down 12.5%.\nSo what\nIf you're looking for the headlines behind the moves, don't bother. There aren't any.\nAs has been the case for the past few months, traders looking for a speculative edge are simply gathering around these stocks in an effort to collectively create the price action they desire, often by creating memes regarding these companies. Such efforts cause incredible price volatility.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nMany of these names -- like Clover this week -- have also been recently targeted as short-squeeze candidates. That's not a terribly bad bet right now either, to be fair, in that more than 7% of the outstanding shares of the health insurance company are currently tied up in short trades. That's enough short positions to prospectively spark en masse buying that drives the price sharply higher,ifthose short-sellers start becoming unnerved by a bit of bullishness. Tuesday's 15% jump for Clover shares didn't do the trick, however, with most of that gain being given back today.\nShares of movie theater chain AMC Entertainment aren't really helping the broader bullish effort either. While one would expect this king of all meme stocks to soar following reports of record-breaking Labor Day weekend box office ticket sales, a bit of Tuesday's near-9% gain from AMC shares is also unwinding with Wednesday's1% sell-off. While that's hardly a devastating setback, the failure to follow through on Tuesday's advance is telling in and of itself.\nOf course, the broad market's sell-off today is also creating a headwind for these well-known meme stocks.\nNow what\nThe advent of meme stock mania (and in particular, organized efforts to spark short squeezes) comes as no real surprise. If you give enough people enough time and the means of doing so, it's reasonable to expect them to capitalize on an opportunity -- including one they must plan out on one of the internet's more popular message boards. A little success on this front early this year prompted the trading crowd to replicate the effort.\nRegardless of the strategy's previous effectiveness, however, meme stock mania is losing steam. Not only are hedge funds and other managed investment pools now shoring up their risk exposure to short squeezes, traders are also running out of stocks they can push around.\nThey're also running out of other buyers and bullish arguments.\nSee, for most meme stocks to continue their rallies, new buyers must bring new money to the table to purchase shares from traders that have already scooped up the stock and are now looking to lock in a sizable profit. Enough people were willing to take such a swing early in the year when AMC was trading around $2 per share. Now that it's trading at more than $46 per share, however, would-be buyers are considerably less interested. Underscoring this idea is the fact that shares of Tonix Pharmaceuticals and Clover Health have yet to respond to the same rally driving strategies that -- at least for a while -- buoyed AMC stock. In a similar vein, Skillz shares have also stopped responding to the bullish prompts that drove the stock from around $11 per share in November of last year to February's high in excess of $46. They're now back near $11, unable to keep a rally going.\nThere's something of a litmus test for the entire meme stock movement due this afternoon. Another meme stock company,GameStop(NYSE:GME), is slated to report its fiscal second-quarter numbers after today's closing bell rings. The numbers are important. But even more important is whether or not the trading crowd relaying on the web's popular message boards will be able to convince others to start and sustain a rally from GameStop. If it can, other meme stocks like AMC and Clover will remain at least somewhat in play. If it can't, it may well be a sign that the underlying strategy of individual traders targeting one ticker at a time is no longer effective. This in turn may sour most of them from even trying to do so, continuing the conversion of many of these meme names back to more conventionally priced stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":415,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":144890703,"gmtCreate":1626273894402,"gmtModify":1703756923852,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a> averaging down time, today is a good day","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a> averaging down time, today is a good day","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ averaging down time, today is a good day","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/144890703","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":417,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166771609,"gmtCreate":1624026486501,"gmtModify":1703827004803,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a> discounted price, don't be scared","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a> discounted price, don't be scared","text":"$GameStop(GME)$ discounted price, don't be scared","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166771609","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":437,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010311395,"gmtCreate":1648257242049,"gmtModify":1676534322463,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>good day","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>good day","text":"$GameStop(GME)$good day","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0a6a9cdd6019814752154085afa1edc6","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010311395","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":219,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151169371,"gmtCreate":1625067798593,"gmtModify":1703735449094,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Motley sponsored by both Citadel (shorting AMC) and Melvin (shorting GME) ? that Motley?","listText":"Motley sponsored by both Citadel (shorting AMC) and Melvin (shorting GME) ? that Motley?","text":"Motley sponsored by both Citadel (shorting AMC) and Melvin (shorting GME) ? that Motley?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151169371","repostId":"2147146918","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2147146918","pubTimestamp":1625067140,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147146918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147146918","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies have set investors in their stocks up for disappointment.","content":"<p><b>AMC Entertainment Holdings </b>(NYSE:AMC), <b>GameStop </b>(NYSE:GME), and <b>Koss </b>(NASDAQ:KOSS) have become some of the more popular meme stocks in recent months.

But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.</p>\n<p>Let's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.</p>\n<h2>1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?</h2>\n<p>Thanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F632064%2Fgettyimages-1162949169.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"399\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Since Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.</p>\n<p>Theater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.</p>\n<p>Yes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.</p>\n<h2>2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough</h2>\n<p>Thanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the <b>Russell 1000</b>.</p>\n<p>It also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran <b>Amazon</b>'s Australia operations during a period of high growth.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.</p>\n<h2>3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market</h2>\n<p>Koss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.</p>\n<p>After decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as <b>Apple </b>and <b>Sony</b>. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.</p>\n<p>This disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period. Koss managed to reverse the losses suffered during 2020 and posted a profit of almost $162,000 during that time.</p>\n<p>However, the forgiveness of a $507,000 Small Business Administration loan and a $379,000 gain from the settlement of a short sale drove the positive net income. Otherwise, Koss would have lost $724,000 during that period, more than the $624,000 loss from the first nine months of 2020.</p>\n<p>Moreover, it has reported about $982,000 in negative cash flows during the current fiscal year and holds just over $6 million in cash. Given that financial state, it may struggle to finance the marketing and product improvements necessary to keep up with larger competitors.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-30 23:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/30/3-stocks-i-would-avoid-at-all-costs/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), GameStop (NYSE:GME), and Koss (NASDAQ:KOSS) have become some of the more popular meme stocks in recent months.

GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough\nThanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the Russell 1000.\nIt also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran Amazon's Australia operations during a period of high growth.\nUnfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a one-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.\nNonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.\nFurthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.\n3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market\nKoss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.\nAfter decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.\nUnfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as Apple and Sony. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.\nThis disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period. Koss managed to reverse the losses suffered during 2020 and posted a profit of almost $162,000 during that time.\nHowever, the forgiveness of a $507,000 Small Business Administration loan and a $379,000 gain from the settlement of a short sale drove the positive net income. Otherwise, Koss would have lost $724,000 during that period, more than the $624,000 loss from the first nine months of 2020.\nMoreover, it has reported about $982,000 in negative cash flows during the current fiscal year and holds just over $6 million in cash. Given that financial state, it may struggle to finance the marketing and product improvements necessary to keep up with larger competitors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167401690,"gmtCreate":1624280456510,"gmtModify":1703832281668,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a> to 420.69 or bust lets go","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a> to 420.69 or bust lets go","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ to 420.69 or bust lets go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167401690","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156558332,"gmtCreate":1625232131526,"gmtModify":1703738942158,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"FUD","listText":"FUD","text":"FUD","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156558332","repostId":"2148870449","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2148870449","pubTimestamp":1625231543,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2148870449?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 21:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget AMC Stock: This Entertainment Stock Offers Investors Much More","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148870449","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Everyone's talking about AMC stock.

Among the several factors to consider are personal financial considerations, like funding a down payment for a home or paying tuition for a child entering college. Other factors can include company-specific considerations, like an expensive valuation due to a rising stock price or deteriorating operating performance.</p>\n<p>In fact, the final two reasons aforementioned are going to be the focus of this article. <b>AMC Entertainment Group</b>'s (NYSE:AMC) stock has rocketed higher while its operating performance remains troubling.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a5ead6b09229a0a94d2d742b3c4ca50\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Movie theater attendance has been declining for 20 years. Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p><b>Poor business prospects</b></p>\n<p>AMC stock is up nearly 2,000% in 2021. That's a remarkable rise in valuation that would require a substantial improvement in operating performance to justify such an increase. That hasn't been the case for AMC. Admittedly, business is rebounding for AMC as economies reopen and folks will see movies in theaters again.</p>\n<p>However, revenue remains below levels from before the pandemic. Government-mandated business closures hurt AMC in fiscal 2020 when revenue cratered to $1.2 billion from $5.5 billion the year prior. Through no fault of its own, the company's business was disallowed from serving customers. With the rise of streaming services and studios' increasing willingness to skip exclusive theatrical film releases, there is a possibility that AMC never recovers to pre-pandemic operating performance.</p>\n<p>Therein lies another problem. It's not like AMC was doing great before the outbreak. The company lost money on the bottom line in four out of the nine years before 2020. Management's focus during the pandemic was on making sure it had enough cash to withstand the business closure -- a task they handled expertly. But there wasn't much structural improvement in the business that suggests it will perform better when the pandemic ends.</p>\n<p>Over the last 20 years, a continuously declining number of people have been going to movie theaters to watch films. That's a long time for the industry to think of innovations that could reverse the trend, but it hasn't. The two major changes have had little impact: upgrading the seats and offering restaurant-style dining at your seat. Certainly, there are many intelligent people with a large vested interest in making this work. If they haven't figured out a way in all this time, maybe there is no way to reverse the trend.</p>\n<p>Watching movies at home is more convenient and affordable, and the difference in the quality of experience is shrinking quickly.</p>\n<p><b>Investor takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Could the stock still rise despite poor operating performance? Absolutely. This year should be evidence of that fact. Companies like AMC and <b>GameStop</b>&nbsp;have soared despite poor business prospects. Moreover, inflated values can remain for an extended time.

Among the several factors to consider are personal financial considerations, like funding a down payment for a home or paying tuition for a child entering college. Other factors can include company-specific considerations, like an expensive valuation due to a rising stock price or deteriorating operating performance.\nIn fact, the final two reasons aforementioned are going to be the focus of this article. AMC Entertainment Group's (NYSE:AMC) stock has rocketed higher while its operating performance remains troubling.\n\nMovie theater attendance has been declining for 20 years. Image source: Getty Images.\nPoor business prospects\nAMC stock is up nearly 2,000% in 2021. That's a remarkable rise in valuation that would require a substantial improvement in operating performance to justify such an increase. That hasn't been the case for AMC. Admittedly, business is rebounding for AMC as economies reopen and folks will see movies in theaters again.\nHowever, revenue remains below levels from before the pandemic. Government-mandated business closures hurt AMC in fiscal 2020 when revenue cratered to $1.2 billion from $5.5 billion the year prior. Through no fault of its own, the company's business was disallowed from serving customers. With the rise of streaming services and studios' increasing willingness to skip exclusive theatrical film releases, there is a possibility that AMC never recovers to pre-pandemic operating performance.\nTherein lies another problem. It's not like AMC was doing great before the outbreak. The company lost money on the bottom line in four out of the nine years before 2020. Management's focus during the pandemic was on making sure it had enough cash to withstand the business closure -- a task they handled expertly. But there wasn't much structural improvement in the business that suggests it will perform better when the pandemic ends.\nOver the last 20 years, a continuously declining number of people have been going to movie theaters to watch films. That's a long time for the industry to think of innovations that could reverse the trend, but it hasn't. The two major changes have had little impact: upgrading the seats and offering restaurant-style dining at your seat. Certainly, there are many intelligent people with a large vested interest in making this work. If they haven't figured out a way in all this time, maybe there is no way to reverse the trend.\nWatching movies at home is more convenient and affordable, and the difference in the quality of experience is shrinking quickly.\nInvestor takeaway\nCould the stock still rise despite poor operating performance? Absolutely. This year should be evidence of that fact. Companies like AMC and GameStop have soared despite poor business prospects. Moreover, inflated values can remain for an extended time. After all, what folks are willing to pay for a stock is up to their discretion.\nHowever, it's safer to buy a stock of a business with prospects that reasonably justify its price. That way, your hope of making a profit will not solely rely on convincing others to join in buying and holding.\nFurthermore, many AMC shareholders who got in early are sitting on huge paper profits these days. Locking in those large gains makes a lot of sense, given the downside risks mentioned above.\nFor those reasons, if you own AMC stock, now is a great time to sell.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":672,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889805723,"gmtCreate":1631126666562,"gmtModify":1676530474747,"author":{"id":"3578706097211996","authorId":"3578706097211996","name":"qinggg","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578706097211996","authorIdStr":"3578706097211996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice FUD, I don't know where the sell button is","listText":"Nice FUD, I don't know where the sell button is","text":"Nice FUD, I don't know where the sell button is","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889805723","repostId":"2166394839","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2166394839","pubTimestamp":1631115149,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2166394839?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-08 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Retail Traders Cashing In AMC’s Gains Showcase Growing Fatigue","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166394839","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s cult-like following of amateur investors took advan","content":"<html><body><p>(Bloomberg) -- AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s cult-like following of amateur investors took advantage of gains after a record Labor Day to sell shares on a net basis for the first time in seven months.</p>\n<p>Retail investors sold $2.45 million in shares of the world’s largest movie-theater company on Tuesday, marking the first time the group became sellers of the stock since February, according to data compiled by Vanda Research.

The stock market has been a massive wealth creator over the decades if you had the patience to just sit tight. It's a fairly incredible feat that whether you look back over the last 100 years or just the past few decades, the average total return of the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> is around 10% annually.</p>\n<p>While traders have always jumped in and out of stocks, trying to pick the right entry and exit points, this year in particular has seen a tremendous influx of investors looking to ride the meme stock trend.</p>\n<p>No stock represents that phenomenon better than <b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b> (NYSE:AMC), which is the best-performing stock in the market by far with gains of nearly 3,000% since the start of 2021.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e52f3c866905316452fa461447bc7057\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Bringing down the curtain on AMC</h3>\n<p>Beyond just beating back hedge funds attacking the theater operator with short sales, investors have piled into AMC Entertainment because a vaccinated population can go to the movies once more to see all the films that studios banked during the pandemic. The influx of moviegoers will lift both admission revenue and the highly profitable concession sales, with business getting back to pre-COVID-19 levels.</p>\n<p>The problem is that AMC was a business in decline before the coronavirus outbreak. It's not just the theater operator's problem, it's an affliction the entire industry is suffering from.</p>\n<p>Theater ticket sales peaked at 1.57 billion in 2002 and have steadily fallen from there. In 2019, fewer than 1.23 billion tickets were sold.</p>\n<p>Theaters have masked the decline by charging more for a ticket, so despite falling sales, box office receipts have actually grown. The $9.1 billion generated 19 years ago became $11.2 billion just before the pandemic closed everything down.</p>\n<p>That may seem beneficial, but continuously rising prices, particularly with the advent of streaming video, have cut into the need to go to the box office, and all the major studios have committed to supporting their streaming services even as they send films to theaters.</p>\n<p>AMC also had to take on significant amounts of debt to survive the COVID outbreak. It ended the most recent quarter with $5.4 billion in long-term debt; $1.6 billion in current liabilities; and $4.9 billion in operating-lease expenses, of which $800 million is due this year, followed by another $1 billion next year.</p>\n<p>While it raised over $1 billion this year, it posted a loss of $567 million and burned through $313 million in cash.</p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment is not a place for long-term investors to park their money.</p>\n<h3>Forget AMC and consider these meme stocks instead</h3>\n<p>Movie theaters aren't going away, but there are better places for your money, even among other so-called meme stocks. That's because they have a stronger business or better growth prospects than AMC. The following three stocks could all give you the excitement of the meme stock craze while offering long-term potential, as long as you don't get caught up in the excitement and overpay.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5c7d1564239ae8b7f0599f43d88f184\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</h3>\n<p>I had pretty much written off home furnishings retailer <b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b> (NASDAQ:BBBY) when it was still in the clutches of an entrenched management team with a sclerotic board of directors that failed to challenge leadership to make the changes necessary in an altered retail environment.</p>\n<p>Yet showing that hedge funds can be a force for good, activist investors cleaned house at the retailer, clearing out the C-suite and the board, and embarked on dismantling the sprawling collection of businesses that Bed Bath &amp; Beyond had amassed.</p>\n<p>The pandemic struck at the worst possible time, just as the home goods store was going to focus on its narrowed core businesses. But now, as the economy is reopening, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has the chance to shine.</p>\n<p>One of the unique aspects of the retailer's business was its ability to generate inordinate amounts of cash. It used to regularly produce in excess of $1 billion of free cash flow (FCF), and just prior to the outbreak it was still generating $750 million worth. Then it was forced to close its stores, and the economy was upended. Yet even as it emerges from the wreckage, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond reported it was already FCF positive, producing $62 million last quarter. Expect that to grow in the coming quarters.</p>\n<p>It has invested heavily in its e-commerce platform and its supply chain, and the narrower focus should allow it to return to its pre-eminent position atop the home goods industry.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b9b0706e36e2038b277532e6820963d\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"482\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>2. Corsair Gaming</h3>\n<p><b>Corsair Gaming</b> (NASDAQ:CRSR) is something of a more-recent phenomenon, as it only just went public last September. But the esports and live-streaming trend has so much potential for growth that Corsair -- an equipment and accessories maker -- should see tremendous lift in the years ahead.</p>\n<p>Unlike many other meme stocks, it wasn't hurt by the pandemic, but rather helped as people were forced to stay home and turned to gaming for their entertainment. Corsair has been around for years and has developed a reputation as a quality manufacturer, so its products were in high demand. Last quarter, it reported record results with revenue soaring 71% over the year-ago period to $529 million, and earnings surging to $0.41 per share from just $0.01 a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company is also new to the meme stock mania, only just joining the ranks as nearly 22% of its outstanding shares are sold short. The Reddit crowd obviously sees this stock as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> to flip, and the price jumped 13% this week.

The stock market has been a massive wealth creator over the decades if you had the patience to just sit tight. It's a fairly incredible feat that whether you look back over the last 100 years or just the past few decades, the average total return of the S&P 500 is around 10% annually.\nWhile traders have always jumped in and out of stocks, trying to pick the right entry and exit points, this year in particular has seen a tremendous influx of investors looking to ride the meme stock trend.\nNo stock represents that phenomenon better than AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), which is the best-performing stock in the market by far with gains of nearly 3,000% since the start of 2021.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBringing down the curtain on AMC\nBeyond just beating back hedge funds attacking the theater operator with short sales, investors have piled into AMC Entertainment because a vaccinated population can go to the movies once more to see all the films that studios banked during the pandemic. The influx of moviegoers will lift both admission revenue and the highly profitable concession sales, with business getting back to pre-COVID-19 levels.\nThe problem is that AMC was a business in decline before the coronavirus outbreak. It's not just the theater operator's problem, it's an affliction the entire industry is suffering from.\nTheater ticket sales peaked at 1.57 billion in 2002 and have steadily fallen from there. In 2019, fewer than 1.23 billion tickets were sold.\nTheaters have masked the decline by charging more for a ticket, so despite falling sales, box office receipts have actually grown. The $9.1 billion generated 19 years ago became $11.2 billion just before the pandemic closed everything down.\nThat may seem beneficial, but continuously rising prices, particularly with the advent of streaming video, have cut into the need to go to the box office, and all the major studios have committed to supporting their streaming services even as they send films to theaters.\nAMC also had to take on significant amounts of debt to survive the COVID outbreak. It ended the most recent quarter with $5.4 billion in long-term debt; $1.6 billion in current liabilities; and $4.9 billion in operating-lease expenses, of which $800 million is due this year, followed by another $1 billion next year.\nWhile it raised over $1 billion this year, it posted a loss of $567 million and burned through $313 million in cash.\nAMC Entertainment is not a place for long-term investors to park their money.\nForget AMC and consider these meme stocks instead\nMovie theaters aren't going away, but there are better places for your money, even among other so-called meme stocks. That's because they have a stronger business or better growth prospects than AMC. The following three stocks could all give you the excitement of the meme stock craze while offering long-term potential, as long as you don't get caught up in the excitement and overpay.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Bed Bath & Beyond\nI had pretty much written off home furnishings retailer Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) when it was still in the clutches of an entrenched management team with a sclerotic board of directors that failed to challenge leadership to make the changes necessary in an altered retail environment.\nYet showing that hedge funds can be a force for good, activist investors cleaned house at the retailer, clearing out the C-suite and the board, and embarked on dismantling the sprawling collection of businesses that Bed Bath & Beyond had amassed.\nThe pandemic struck at the worst possible time, just as the home goods store was going to focus on its narrowed core businesses. But now, as the economy is reopening, Bed Bath & Beyond has the chance to shine.\nOne of the unique aspects of the retailer's business was its ability to generate inordinate amounts of cash. It used to regularly produce in excess of $1 billion of free cash flow (FCF), and just prior to the outbreak it was still generating $750 million worth. Then it was forced to close its stores, and the economy was upended. Yet even as it emerges from the wreckage, Bed Bath & Beyond reported it was already FCF positive, producing $62 million last quarter. Expect that to grow in the coming quarters.\nIt has invested heavily in its e-commerce platform and its supply chain, and the narrower focus should allow it to return to its pre-eminent position atop the home goods industry.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n2. Corsair Gaming\nCorsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR) is something of a more-recent phenomenon, as it only just went public last September. But the esports and live-streaming trend has so much potential for growth that Corsair -- an equipment and accessories maker -- should see tremendous lift in the years ahead.\nUnlike many other meme stocks, it wasn't hurt by the pandemic, but rather helped as people were forced to stay home and turned to gaming for their entertainment. Corsair has been around for years and has developed a reputation as a quality manufacturer, so its products were in high demand. Last quarter, it reported record results with revenue soaring 71% over the year-ago period to $529 million, and earnings surging to $0.41 per share from just $0.01 a year ago.\nThe company is also new to the meme stock mania, only just joining the ranks as nearly 22% of its outstanding shares are sold short. The Reddit crowd obviously sees this stock as one to flip, and the price jumped 13% this week. But that's not the reason you want to buy it.\nCorsair makes high-end, high-performance headsets, keyboards, mice, controllers, and gear for live-streaming gamers and content creators. It also sells computer components including memory cards, cooling systems, and power supplies, and has two proprietary platforms, iCUE for gamers and the Elgato streaming suite for creators.\nThe company points out that data from gaming and esports market researcher Newzoo shows an estimated 825 million console gamers globally in 2020, and over 40 million active gaming channels on Alphabet's YouTube. There are also millions of active streamers across Twitch and Facebook Gaming, as well as on platforms of Chinese gaming sites Huya and DouYu, to drive sales of gaming and content-creation gear.\nThere's a substantial growth trajectory still ahead for Corsair Gaming, one that shouldn't be obscured by having become a meme stock favorite.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n3. GameStop\nAs the original meme stock investment, GameStop (NYSE:GME) might be a surprising choice, particularly in light of the stock trading north of $220 per share, a 1,050% gain year to date. But that's where having patience and waiting for the momentum crowd to move on can reward you. GameStop actually has a turnaround-investment quality that could allow handsome profits.\nIf theaters are on the decline, then video-game retail stores are sure to follow the same path as Blockbuster Video.\nWhich is exactly why the new management team, almost wholly brought over from Amazon and Google, seeks to remake the video game retailer into a consumer-focused, online-oriented gaming company. Chairman Ryan Cohen envisions turning it into the \"Amazon of gaming.\"\nIt's starting from a solid foundation, having used the meme stock trading frenzy that boosted its share price to raise new capital to completely pay off its debt. While that diluted existing shareholders, not something to be taken lightly, it did allow the company to replenish its coffers and position itself to implement its strategy.\nSince gaming is increasingly moving toward digital downloads and online play, it's essential GameStop move in that direction as well.
