Fool","summary":"I'm on the Reddit bandwagon for sure with these stocks.","content":"<p>The wisdom of crowds can sometimes turn into the mistakes of the masses. Just because a lot of people on Reddit or another online community like a stock doesn't necessarily mean it's a smart long-term pick.</p>\n<p>However, that doesn't mean at all that online groups don't have some good ideas that investors should check out. Here are three popular Reddit stocks that I'd buy right now without any hesitation.</p>\n<h2>Apple</h2>\n<p>A lot of Reddit users really like&nbsp;<b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL). That's not surprising considering how popular Apple's products are and that it happens to be the biggest company in the world based on market cap. I've owned Apple for longer than any other stock in my personal investment portfolio. I still think the tech stock is a great pick to buy.</p>\n<p>Some of the stocks that online investors cheer are speculative, but not Apple. It's highly profitable. Sales continue to soar. The company sits atop a massive cash stockpile.</p>\n<p>High-speed 5G wireless networks are driving demand for Apple's newest iPhones. As more people buy iPhones, it creates bigger opportunities for the rest of the company's ecosystem, including apps, Airpods, and more.</p>\n<p>I think the long-term prospects for Apple also remain bright. The company's next big thing, according to CEO Tim Cook, is augmented reality (AR). Look for Apple to roll out new AR devices over the next few years that fuel continued growth.</p>\n<h2>Airbnb</h2>\n<p>Few, if any, companies have transformed the travel industry as much as <b>Airbnb</b> (NASDAQ:ABNB) has over the last decade. The company's initial public offering (IPO) ranked as the biggest last year. Even though the initial gains for the home-sharing stock have largely fizzled out, it makes sense that Reddit users still think highly of Airbnb.</p>\n<p>To be sure, the company faced some hefty challenges with the global pandemic. And Airbnb isn't totally out of the woods just yet with many parts of the world still dealing with large numbers of COVID-19 cases. The good news, though, is that the increased availability of vaccines has helped turn the tide in a major way in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said in the company's Q1 update, \"We expect the return of urban and cross-border travel to be significant tailwinds over the coming quarters.\" I suspect this trend will translate to a solid rebound in Airbnb's share price.</p>\n<p>Over the longer term, the rise of remote work seems likely to boost demand for Airbnb's home-sharing services. My view is that we'll see a marked increase in profitability as the company scales up its business. Reddit users appear to be right on the money with Airbnb.</p>\n<h2>NVIDIA</h2>\n<p><b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands out as another popular Reddit stock that I'm excited about. The company's graphics processing units (GPUs) remain the gold standard for gaming and data centers and have carved out a place in cryptocurrency mining as well.</p>\n<p>In just a month or so, NVIDIA will conduct a four-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> stock split. Granted, this won't change the real value of the company's underlying business <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> bit. However, the lower share price could make the stock even more attractive to retail investors (which is what NVIDIA is counting on).</p>\n<p>The main reasons to buy NVIDIA stock right now relate to its business and not the stock split. New games require more processing power, which gives NVIDIA a perpetual upgrade cycle. It's a similar story with data centers, with increased use of artificial intelligence driving the demand for faster chips.</p>\n<p>NVIDIA has established itself as one of the leaders in developing a platform for self-driving cars. It's also launching Omniverse -- a platform for developers and engineers to create virtual worlds that can be used to simulate factories and other parts of the physical world and foster virtual collaboration. I think these two markets could potentially be explosive for NVIDIA over the next decade and beyond.</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 Reddit Stocks I'd Buy Right Now Without Any Hesitation</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 Reddit Stocks I'd Buy Right Now Without Any Hesitation\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 22:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/14/3-reddit-stocks-id-buy-right-now-without-any-hesit/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The wisdom of crowds can sometimes turn into the mistakes of the masses.

The S&P 500 declined 0.4% to 4,192.85 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1% to 13,614.51.The benchmark S&P 500 sits about 1% from its all-time high reached earlier last month, but it has been stuck around these levels for about the last two weeks. The S&P 500 is up more than 11% this year so far.Merck and Dow Inc. were the two best performers in the 30-stock benchmark, both rising more than 2%. Consumer staples and utilities were the biggest gainers among 11 S&P 500 sectors, while consumer discretionary and tech weighed on the broader market, falling 1.2% and 0.9%, respectively.Shares of General Motors climbed nearly 6.4% after the company said it expects its results for the first half of 2021 to be “significantly better” than its prior guidance.On the data front, private job growth for May accelerated at its fastest pace in nearly a year as companies hired nearly a million workers, according to a report Thursday from payroll processing firm ADP.Total hires came to 978,000 for the month, a big jump from April’s 654,000 and the largest gain since June 2020. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 680,000.Meanwhile,first-time claims for unemployment benefitsfor the week ended May 29 totaled 385,000, versus a Dow Jones estimate of 393,000. It also marked the first time that jobless claims fell below 400,000 since the early days of the pandemic.“With ADP knocking it out of the park, and jobless claims breaking that 400k barrier—a pandemic low—all eyes will be on the larger jobs picture tomorrow,” said Mike Loewengart, a managing director at E-Trade. “With seemingly all systems go on the jobs front, the economy is flashing some very real signs that this isn’t just a comeback—expansion mode could be on the horizon.”The market may be on hold before the release of the jobs report Friday, which is likely to show an additional 671,000 nonfarm payrolls in May, according to economists polled by Dow Jones. The economy added 266,000 jobs in April.Investors continued to monitor the wild action in meme stocks, particularly theater chain AMC Entertainment. The stock tumbled as much as 30% after practically doubling in the prior session, but shares cut losses after movie theater chain said it completed a stock offering launched just hours ago,raising $587 million.The stock ended the day about 18% lower.Other meme stocks also came under pressure Thursday. Bed Bath & Beyond fell more than 27%. The SoFi Social 50 ETF (SFYF), which tracks the top 50 most widely held U.S. listed stocks on SoFi’s retail brokerage platform, tumbled more than 6%.Reminiscent of what occurred earlier this year, retail traders rallying together on Reddit triggered a short squeeze in AMC earlier this week. On Wednesday, short-sellers betting against the stock lost $2.8 billion as the shares surged, according to S3 Partners. That brings their year-to-date losses to more than $5 billion, according to S3. Short sellers are forced to buy back the stock to cut their losses when it keeps rallying like this.The meme stock bubble in GameStop earlier this year weighed on the market a bit as investors worried it meant too much speculative activity was in the stock market. As losses in hedge funds betting against the stock mounted, worries increased about a pullback in risk-taking across Wall Street that could hit the overall market. AMC’s latest surge did not appear to be causing similar concerns so far.Here are company's financial statementsSlack tops Q1 expectations, ends quarter with 169,000 total paid customersLululemon first-quarter sales rise 88%, topping estimates, as store traffic reboundsCrowdStrike stock rises as earnings, outlook top Street viewDocuSign stock pops on earnings, outlook beat","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111353579,"gmtCreate":1622654335291,"gmtModify":1704188296566,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool!","listText":"Cool!","text":"Cool!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111353579","repostId":"2140403419","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140403419","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":1622631406,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140403419?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 18:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla recalls nearly 6,000 U.S. cars over potentially loose bolts","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140403419","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla stock dropped nearly 3% in Wednesday trading on recalling nearly 6,000 U.S. cars over potentially loose bolts.Tesla Inc is recalling nearly 6,000 U.S. vehicles because brake caliper bolts could be loose, with the potential to cause a loss of tire pressure, documents made public on Wednesday show.The recall covers certain 2019-2021 Model 3 vehicles and 2020-2021 Model Y vehicles.

In the last four quarters, on average, Home Depot has beaten earnings estimates about 2%.The Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s shares rose over 20% so far this year. Home Depot’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Tuesday, could help the stock hit new all-time highs. But the stock’s performance could hinge on margins.“We expect a 25% to 30% Q1’21 comp as top-line strength likely continued through the quarter. We model gross margin down 40 bps. For context, in Q4 lumber inflation pulled gross margin down ~30 bps and likely worsened sequentially. On SG&A, assuming the per sq ft 2-year stack holds from Q4 (+24%), SG&A should lever 360 to 400 bps,” noted Simeon Gutman, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.“In our model, this combination produces EPS of $3.55 to $3.85 vs consensus at $2.95. While a ’21 guide was not provided, if the ’20 top-line exit rate held through ’21, HD would expect a flat to slightly positive comp and an EBIT margin of at least 14%.”WALMART: The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer is expected to report its first-quarter earnings of $1.21 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of about 47% from $1.18 per share seen in the same period a year ago.However, the multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets’ revenue would decline about 2% to $131.8 billion. In the last four quarters, on average, the retail giant has beaten earnings estimates about 9%.“We raise 1Q22 EPS estimate to $1.23 from $1.22, on stronger Walmart U.S. comps, more modest SG&A deleverage, offsetting lower International segment revenues on divestitures, and remain above Street’s $1.21. We raise our Walmart U.S. comps to +0.5%, ahead of Street’s +0.3%, and our updated estimates now imply 2-year stack growth of +10.5% Y/Y, in-line with 4Q21,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We expect a tailwind from stimulus, and improved apparel and other general merchandise categories, offset by grocery and other essential categories normalizing.

As we all get ready to welcome summer days that more closely resemble our pre-pandemic lives, the markets are rotating away from the growth stocks it favored during lockdowns and quarantines, especially tech shares.</p>\n<p>For instance, the tech-heavy<b>NASDAQ 100</b>index is down more than 4% since the start of May. As a result, many retail investors are wondering which sectors and stocks might be do well in the remaining days of the quarter.</p>\n<p>The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic remains the most crucial market factor. Last year, that meant buying businesses that benefited from trends resulting from the pandemic and the lockdown (such as digitalization, health care, renewable energy or work-from-home). However, many of this year’s leading stocks are those most likely to benefit from a recovering economy and a ‘return to normalcy.’</p>\n<p>With that information, here are seven hot stocks to buy:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Align Technology</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ALGN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ford Motor</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Freeport-McMoRan</b>(NYSE:<b><u>FCX</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Hilton Worldwide</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HLT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Stryker</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SYK</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Take-Two Interactive</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TTWO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Verizon Communications</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Over the past 12 months, investors were able to find quality names at good value. Now, valuation levels are quite stretched. Yet, there are still plenty of robust investment opportunities out there, especially for long-term investors.</p>\n<p><b>Hot stocks to buy:</b>&nbsp;<b><b>Align Technology</b></b><b>(ALGN)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1e5a088c59cdc7b46f9f8be1a68931e\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p><b>52-week range:</b><b>$</b><b>195.56</b><b>– $</b><b>647.20</b></p>\n<p>Dental device groupAlign Technology is primarily known for its Invisalign system, an alternative to traditional braces to correct malocclusions, or misalignment of the teeth. You might know of this product as invisible dental braces. The company also manufactures scanners and offers computer-aided design (CAD) services to support the customization of these liners.</p>\n<p>Align Technologyreported record-setting first quarter resultson April 28. Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.</p>\n<p>CEO Joe Hogan said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April.

Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.</p>\n<p>YTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure.

As we all get ready to welcome summer days that more closely resemble our pre-pandemic lives, the markets are rotating away from the growth stocks it favored during lockdowns and quarantines, especially tech shares.\nFor instance, the tech-heavyNASDAQ 100index is down more than 4% since the start of May. As a result, many retail investors are wondering which sectors and stocks might be do well in the remaining days of the quarter.\nThe ongoing Covid-19 pandemic remains the most crucial market factor. Last year, that meant buying businesses that benefited from trends resulting from the pandemic and the lockdown (such as digitalization, health care, renewable energy or work-from-home). However, many of this year’s leading stocks are those most likely to benefit from a recovering economy and a ‘return to normalcy.’\nWith that information, here are seven hot stocks to buy:\n\nAlign Technology(NASDAQ:ALGN)\nFord Motor(NYSE:F)\nFreeport-McMoRan(NYSE:FCX)\nHilton Worldwide(NYSE:HLT)\nStryker(NYSE:SYK)\nTake-Two Interactive(NASDAQ:TTWO)\nVerizon Communications(NYSE:VZ)\n\nOver the past 12 months, investors were able to find quality names at good value. Now, valuation levels are quite stretched. Yet, there are still plenty of robust investment opportunities out there, especially for long-term investors.\nHot stocks to buy: Align Technology(ALGN)Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$195.56– $647.20\nDental device groupAlign Technology is primarily known for its Invisalign system, an alternative to traditional braces to correct malocclusions, or misalignment of the teeth. You might know of this product as invisible dental braces. The company also manufactures scanners and offers computer-aided design (CAD) services to support the customization of these liners.\nAlign Technologyreported record-setting first quarter resultson April 28. Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.\nCEO Joe Hogan said:\n\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n\nThe pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.\nYear-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April. ALGN stock’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-sales (P/S) ratios are 65.36 and 16.88.\nShort-term profit-taking could put pressure on the shares. A potential decline toward $520 would improve the margin of safety.\nFord Motor(F)Source: Vitaliy Karimov / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range: $4.52 – $13.62\nLegacy automaker Ford Motorreported first quarter resultsin late April. Revenue increased 6% to $36.2 billion. GAAP net income was $3.3 billion, compared to net loss of $2 billion in the prior year quarter.Adjusted earnings per share came at 89 cents.\nCEO Jim Farley regards the Mustang Mach-E GT as Ford’s first serious push into theelectric vehicle(EV) space. Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.\nYTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure. Any further decline toward $10 would improve the risk/return profile.\nIn addition to its legacy business, the new decade will likely see Ford gain gain market share in the growing EV industry. Buy-and-hold investor should put the shares on their radar.\nFreeport-McMoRan(FCX)Source: MICHAEL A JACKSON FILMS / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$7.80 – $44.50\nNext in line is one of the largest copper miners worldwide, the Phoenix,Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan.

Our China consumer-facing businesses served 891 million annual active consumers during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Our international retail marketplaces, which include mainly the AliExpress cross-border retail platform and Lazada in Southeast Asia, served approximately 240 million annual active consumers during the same period. Our China and international consumer segments combined to serve over one billion annual active consumers and generated RMB8,119 billion (US$1,239 billion) in GMV.</p><p>Our digital infrastructure, such as smart logistics and cloud computing, which enables and underpins across our platforms to serve our major commerce, local services and entertainment businesses, gives us unique technology-driven capabilities to meet changing consumer demand and help our enterprise customers and partners achieve digital transformation.</p><p><b>Core Commerce</b></p><p><b>China Retail Marketplaces – comprehensive product supply and engaging user experience drive consumer growth and high consumer retention rate</b></p><p><i>Consumers</i></p><p>In March 2021, our China retail marketplaces had 925 million mobile MAUs, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 79 million and 23 million, respectively. There were 811 million annual active consumers on our China retail marketplaces for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 85 million and 32 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2021, approximately 70% of new annual active consumers were from less developed areas.</p><p>In fiscal year 2021, the strong GMV and user growth on our China retail marketplaces reflected our strategic focus on less developed cities and towns and broadening offerings of products and services to meet diverse consumption demand. Overall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 21% year-over-year in fiscal year 2021, driven primarily by the fast-moving-consumer-goods (FMCG) and home furnishing categories, and 33% year-over-year in the March quarter, driven primarily by the apparel and home furnishing categories. For the March quarter, Tmall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 26% year-over-year and Taobao online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew even faster as SME merchants recovered from the pandemic.</p><p>Our app platforms appeal to a growing and increasingly diverse consumer base at various income levels as well as present different purchase use cases for the same consumer. Taobao Deals (特价版) offers value-for-money products for the price-conscious consumer and achieved rapid growth in fiscal year 2021. Annual active consumers of Taobao Deals reached over 150 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Taobao Deals continues to be an offering that attracts incremental users especially in less developed areas, and we have seen robust retention rate given its clear value-for-money proposition and its expanding product selections in different categories.</p><p>We also saw increasing engagement of the existing consumer base on our China retail app platforms. The longer a consumer has shopped on our platforms, the more they spend through more orders across more product categories. In fiscal year 2021, average annual spending per consumer on our China retail marketplaces reached over RMB9,200 (US$1,404). Consumers on our China retail marketplaces exhibit high retention across all spending levels.</p><p><i>Product Supply</i></p><p>A key to the success of our business is broadening product supply, including increasing the range of branded and imported products, going upstream to directly source agricultural products and expanding the breadth of selection of value-for-money and long-tail products. Consumption upgrading also helped to drive our business, as more consumers are purchasing from flagship stores of high-end brands and international retailers on our platforms. More than 200 luxury brands and retailers, such as Cartier, Farfetch, Gucci, IWC and Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, operated their flagship stores on our China retail marketplaces, as of March 31, 2021.</p><p><i>Engagement</i></p><p>The Taobao app is the largest social commerce platform in China, offering rich, highly relevant and curated content and features that enable merchants to engage with consumers through live-streaming, short-form videos, interactive games and microblogs. Among these interactive features, livestreaming is one of the fastest growing with significant scale. Taobao Live GMV reached over RMB500 billion (US$76.3 billion) in fiscal year 2021.</p><p><b>New Retail – multi-format New Retail businesses built on an expanding digital supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment services</b></p><p>Our New Retail strategy is to develop a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Over the years, we have helped many retailers digitally transform their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging our consumer insights and technology. These New Retail businesses are supported and strengthened by our ecosystem with an expanding supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment services.</p><p>Our New Retail commerce infrastructure now offers a full range of high-frequency fulfilment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery and next day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products. We will continue to expand all of these fulfilment services across China to reach and serve even more consumers in both large cities and less developed areas as well as drive higher purchase frequency through more effective cross-selling on our China retail marketplaces.</p><p><i>Community Marketplaces</i>– As part of our latest exploration in New Retail, we started the Community Marketplaces business in select regions in China. Our Community Marketplaces business is supported by our next-day pickup fulfilment services and the supply capabilities of Freshippo, Sun Art and other partners. Given the initial success and long-term growth potential, we established a new business group in early 2021 to consolidate the resources and capabilities of the Alibaba Ecosystem in order to accelerate the growth of our Community Marketplaces business. Our Community Marketplaces are rapidly expanding their logistics and fulfilment infrastructure and aim to achieve broad coverage across mainland China within the next twelve months.</p><p><i>Freshippo</i>– Our self-operated retail chain Freshippo (known as “Hema” in Chinese) continued to execute a multi-format and multi-banner expansion strategy. In fiscal year 2021, Freshippo achieved healthy same-store sales growth, enriched and optimized its product selection and introduced new initiatives to improve customer experience. As of March 31, 2021, we had 257 self-operated Freshippo stores (compared to 202 stores as of March 31, 2020), primarily located in tier-one and tier-two cities throughout China.</p><p><i>Taoxianda</i>– Taoxianda, our online-offline retail integration service solution for FMCG brands and third-party grocery retail partners, puts us at the forefront of transforming the retail industry by digitalizing all aspects of store-based operations. Taoxianda drove Sun Art’s digitalization of its hypermarkets and, along with our other businesses, facilitated the growth of Sun Art’s online revenue. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, online revenue represented 24% of Sun Art’s sales of goods, increasing from 17% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, in addition to Sun Art, Taoxianda helped 42 retail chains to open online stores with services available across 145 cities in China and enabled over 168 retail chains, supermarkets and marketplaces to digitalize their marketing program.</p><p><b>Local Consumer Services – Investing for new user acquisition and enhanced consumer experience</b></p><p>In fiscal year 2021, Ele.me continued to improve its merchant supply and operating efficiency, as reflected in the increasing number of merchants, higher portion of GMV from national and regional chains and improved unit economics year-over-year. Building on this progress, starting from the March quarter 2021, Ele.me stepped up its investment in user acquisition as well as user experience enhancement. For example, during the Chinese New Year period Ele.me increased its rider subsidy to address the usual shortage of riders. As a result, Ele.me’s average daily number of paying members continued to grow strongly at approximately 40% year-over-year during the March quarter.</p><p><b>Cainiao Network – improving efficiency across the Alibaba Ecosystem and the logistics industry in China and internationally</b></p><p>Cainiao Network continues to expand both its domestic services and global smart logistics infrastructure by deepening integration with logistics partners as well as offering more products and services. In fiscal year 2021, after elimination of inter-company transactions, Cainiao Network achieved solid revenue growth of 68% year-over-year, to RMB37,258 million (US$5,687 million), representing 5% of our total revenue. Cainiao Network also reached an important milestone of generating positive operating cash flow during fiscal year 2021.</p><p>A key driver of Cainiao Network’s strong financial performance is its global smart logistics infrastructure, which took years of investment to build. This global logistics infrastructure now enjoys increasing adoption of “Fulfilled by Cainiao” services by merchants from our fast growing cross-border businesses, including AliExpress and Tmall Global. Daily package volume on Cainiao Network’s global parcel network for the month ended March 31, 2021 exceeded 5 million.</p><p>In China, Cainiao Network expanded the coverage of Cainiao Post (neighborhood and campus stations and residential self-pick up stations), as well as improved the customer experience of Cainiao Guoguo (crowdsourced parcel pick-up and delivery service). In March 2021, Cainiao Post’s average daily package volume nearly tripled year-over-year.</p><p><b>International – consistent strong growth of Lazada and AliExpress</b></p><p>Our international commerce retail business, mainly including Lazada and AliExpress, grew rapidly to achieve approximately 240 million annual active consumers in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.</p><p><i>Lazada</i>– Lazada recorded triple-digit year-over-year order growth during the fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2021. Lazada continued to focus on investing in technology and logistics to enable merchants to better service consumers. We have seen strong adoption of store operation and business analytics tools by merchants on the Lazada platform, enabling them to achieve scale and GMV growth.</p><p><i>AliExpress</i>– AliExpress is a marketplace for consumers from around the world to buy directly from manufacturers and distributors, mainly from China but also increasingly in consumers’ local markets. AliExpress continued to improve its localization initiatives in the areas of differentiated product offerings and improved local delivery experience, which resulted in robust user and GMV growth in fiscal year 2021.</p><p><b>Cloud Computing</b></p><p>In 2020, Alibaba Group was ranked third globally and first in the Asia Pacific region in the global Infrastructure-as-a-Service market, according to Gartner’s April 2021 report. Alibaba Cloud’s unique advantages are its proprietary technology and Alibaba Group’s continued commitment to invest in research and development in new product offerings and industry-specific solutions for our customers and partners. Highlights of our proprietary technologies in fiscal year 2021 include:</p><ul><li><b>Elastic Computing</b>- In February 2021, Alibaba Cloud launched the 7th generation ECS public cloud server that increases overall computing power by 40%. Built on top of our proprietary X-Dragon architecture, this new generation server offers mission critical security enhancements, which is especially important for customers in the Internet and finance industries that require fail-safe continuous operations and highly secure cloud infrastructure.</li><li><b>Database</b>- Our proprietary technologies have consistently won recognition from leading research and advisory organizations. For example, in December 2020, PolarDB, one of our key database products, won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.</li><li><b>Serverless</b>- In the first quarter of 2021, Forrester recognized Alibaba Function Compute, our suite of serverless products, as a leader in the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) market given our technological advancements and comprehensive product offerings. Alibaba Cloud is the only cloud vendor in China to be recognized as a FaaS leader.</li></ul><p>In fiscal year 2021, our cloud computing revenue grew 50% year-over-year, to RMB60,120 million (US$9,176 million), primarily driven by growth in revenue from customers in the Internet, public sector and finance industries. In the March 2021 quarter, cloud computing revenue grew 37% year-over-year to RMB16,761 million (US$2,558 million). The slower revenue growth during the quarter was primarily due to revenue decline from a top cloud customer in the Internet industry. This customer, which has a sizeable presence outside of China that used our overseas cloud services in the past, has decided to terminate the relationship with respect to their international business due to non-product related requirements. Excluding this customer, Alibaba Cloud’s top ten non-affiliated customers together accounted for no more than eight percent of Alibaba Cloud’s total revenue in fiscal year 2021. Going forward, we believe that our cloud computing revenue will be further diversified across customers and industries.</p><p><b>Digital Media and Entertainment</b></p><p>During fiscal year 2021, Youku continued to focus on delivering a superior user experience and increasing paying subscribers. Youku’s average daily subscriber base continued to grow at a healthy rate, increasing 35% year-over-year during the fiscal year. The increase in paying subscribers was driven by our offerings of original and exclusive content, our effective targeting of new subscribers and a greater contribution from the 88VIP membership program on our China retail marketplaces. We invested in original and exclusive content while ensuring cost efficiencies and return on investment, which resulted in narrowing annual adjusted EBITA losses year-over-year in fiscal year 2021.</p><p>Despite the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on cinemas and live performance industries, Alibaba Pictures significantly narrowed its losses in fiscal year 2021, given successful diversification of its revenue stream beyond film and ticketing business and enhanced operational efficiency of its online ticketing platform (Tao Piao Piao) with lowered sales and marketing expenses. Alibaba Pictures will continue to diversify its businesses to capture revenue opportunities in the entire entertainment value chain, including content development, production, promotion and distribution, as well as IP commercialization. We believe these initiatives will ensure Alibaba Pictures’ long-term growth potential with a diversified revenue stream.</p><p><b>Innovation Initiatives and Others</b></p><p><i>Amap</i><b>–</b>Amap is the largest provider of mobile digital map, navigation and real-time traffic information in China by monthly active users. It leverages big-data enabled digital mapping technology to power major mobile apps across different industries including local services, ride-hailing services and social networking. Amap reached an important milestone of over 100 million average DAUs in the month of April 2021.</p><p><b>Share Repurchases</b></p><p>Pursuant to our share repurchase authorization, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and through the publication of this results announcement, we repurchased approximately 1.7 million of our ADSs (or approximately 13.6 million of our ordinary shares) for approximately US$371 million under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately 21.7 billion ordinary shares issued and outstanding.</p><p><b>Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow</b></p><p>In the fiscal year 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB231,786 million (US$35,378 million), an increase of 28% compared to RMB180,607 million in the fiscal year 2020. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, increased by 32% in fiscal year 2021 to RMB172,662 million (US$26,353 million), from RMB130,914 million in fiscal year 2020, mainly due to our profit growth.</p><p>In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB24,183 million (US$3,691 million), which includes a net cash inflow of RMB18,796 million (US$2,869 million) in connection with the consumer protection fund deposits received primarily from Tmall merchants, as well as our increased spending for strategic initiatives.

Such achievements were built on top of clear value propositions that we offer to consumers and merchants. We remain very excited about the growth of China’s consumption economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work.

Our China consumer-facing businesses served 891 million annual active consumers during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Our international retail marketplaces, which include mainly the AliExpress cross-border retail platform and Lazada in Southeast Asia, served approximately 240 million annual active consumers during the same period. Our China and international consumer segments combined to serve over one billion annual active consumers and generated RMB8,119 billion (US$1,239 billion) in GMV.</p><p>Our digital infrastructure, such as smart logistics and cloud computing, which enables and underpins across our platforms to serve our major commerce, local services and entertainment businesses, gives us unique technology-driven capabilities to meet changing consumer demand and help our enterprise customers and partners achieve digital transformation.</p><p><b>Core Commerce</b></p><p><b>China Retail Marketplaces – comprehensive product supply and engaging user experience drive consumer growth and high consumer retention rate</b></p><p><i>Consumers</i></p><p>In March 2021, our China retail marketplaces had 925 million mobile MAUs, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 79 million and 23 million, respectively. There were 811 million annual active consumers on our China retail marketplaces for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 85 million and 32 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2021, approximately 70% of new annual active consumers were from less developed areas.</p><p>In fiscal year 2021, the strong GMV and user growth on our China retail marketplaces reflected our strategic focus on less developed cities and towns and broadening offerings of products and services to meet diverse consumption demand. Overall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 21% year-over-year in fiscal year 2021, driven primarily by the fast-moving-consumer-goods (FMCG) and home furnishing categories, and 33% year-over-year in the March quarter, driven primarily by the apparel and home furnishing categories. For the March quarter, Tmall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 26% year-over-year and Taobao online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew even faster as SME merchants recovered from the pandemic.</p><p>Our app platforms appeal to a growing and increasingly diverse consumer base at various income levels as well as present different purchase use cases for the same consumer. Taobao Deals (特价版) offers value-for-money products for the price-conscious consumer and achieved rapid growth in fiscal year 2021. Annual active consumers of Taobao Deals reached over 150 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Taobao Deals continues to be an offering that attracts incremental users especially in less developed areas, and we have seen robust retention rate given its clear value-for-money proposition and its expanding product selections in different categories.</p><p>We also saw increasing engagement of the existing consumer base on our China retail app platforms. The longer a consumer has shopped on our platforms, the more they spend through more orders across more product categories. In fiscal year 2021, average annual spending per consumer on our China retail marketplaces reached over RMB9,200 (US$1,404). Consumers on our China retail marketplaces exhibit high retention across all spending levels.</p><p><i>Product Supply</i></p><p>A key to the success of our business is broadening product supply, including increasing the range of branded and imported products, going upstream to directly source agricultural products and expanding the breadth of selection of value-for-money and long-tail products. Consumption upgrading also helped to drive our business, as more consumers are purchasing from flagship stores of high-end brands and international retailers on our platforms. More than 200 luxury brands and retailers, such as Cartier, Farfetch, Gucci, IWC and Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, operated their flagship stores on our China retail marketplaces, as of March 31, 2021.</p><p><i>Engagement</i></p><p>The Taobao app is the largest social commerce platform in China, offering rich, highly relevant and curated content and features that enable merchants to engage with consumers through live-streaming, short-form videos, interactive games and microblogs. Among these interactive features, livestreaming is one of the fastest growing with significant scale. Taobao Live GMV reached over RMB500 billion (US$76.3 billion) in fiscal year 2021.</p><p><b>New Retail – multi-format New Retail businesses built on an expanding digital supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment services</b></p><p>Our New Retail strategy is to develop a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Over the years, we have helped many retailers digitally transform their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging our consumer insights and technology. These New Retail businesses are supported and strengthened by our ecosystem with an expanding supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment services.</p><p>Our New Retail commerce infrastructure now offers a full range of high-frequency fulfilment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery and next day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products. We will continue to expand all of these fulfilment services across China to reach and serve even more consumers in both large cities and less developed areas as well as drive higher purchase frequency through more effective cross-selling on our China retail marketplaces.</p><p><i>Community Marketplaces</i>– As part of our latest exploration in New Retail, we started the Community Marketplaces business in select regions in China. Our Community Marketplaces business is supported by our next-day pickup fulfilment services and the supply capabilities of Freshippo, Sun Art and other partners. Given the initial success and long-term growth potential, we established a new business group in early 2021 to consolidate the resources and capabilities of the Alibaba Ecosystem in order to accelerate the growth of our Community Marketplaces business. Our Community Marketplaces are rapidly expanding their logistics and fulfilment infrastructure and aim to achieve broad coverage across mainland China within the next twelve months.</p><p><i>Freshippo</i>– Our self-operated retail chain Freshippo (known as “Hema” in Chinese) continued to execute a multi-format and multi-banner expansion strategy. In fiscal year 2021, Freshippo achieved healthy same-store sales growth, enriched and optimized its product selection and introduced new initiatives to improve customer experience. As of March 31, 2021, we had 257 self-operated Freshippo stores (compared to 202 stores as of March 31, 2020), primarily located in tier-one and tier-two cities throughout China.</p><p><i>Taoxianda</i>– Taoxianda, our online-offline retail integration service solution for FMCG brands and third-party grocery retail partners, puts us at the forefront of transforming the retail industry by digitalizing all aspects of store-based operations. Taoxianda drove Sun Art’s digitalization of its hypermarkets and, along with our other businesses, facilitated the growth of Sun Art’s online revenue. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, online revenue represented 24% of Sun Art’s sales of goods, increasing from 17% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, in addition to Sun Art, Taoxianda helped 42 retail chains to open online stores with services available across 145 cities in China and enabled over 168 retail chains, supermarkets and marketplaces to digitalize their marketing program.</p><p><b>Local Consumer Services – Investing for new user acquisition and enhanced consumer experience</b></p><p>In fiscal year 2021, Ele.me continued to improve its merchant supply and operating efficiency, as reflected in the increasing number of merchants, higher portion of GMV from national and regional chains and improved unit economics year-over-year. Building on this progress, starting from the March quarter 2021, Ele.me stepped up its investment in user acquisition as well as user experience enhancement. For example, during the Chinese New Year period Ele.me increased its rider subsidy to address the usual shortage of riders. As a result, Ele.me’s average daily number of paying members continued to grow strongly at approximately 40% year-over-year during the March quarter.</p><p><b>Cainiao Network – improving efficiency across the Alibaba Ecosystem and the logistics industry in China and internationally</b></p><p>Cainiao Network continues to expand both its domestic services and global smart logistics infrastructure by deepening integration with logistics partners as well as offering more products and services. In fiscal year 2021, after elimination of inter-company transactions, Cainiao Network achieved solid revenue growth of 68% year-over-year, to RMB37,258 million (US$5,687 million), representing 5% of our total revenue. Cainiao Network also reached an important milestone of generating positive operating cash flow during fiscal year 2021.</p><p>A key driver of Cainiao Network’s strong financial performance is its global smart logistics infrastructure, which took years of investment to build. This global logistics infrastructure now enjoys increasing adoption of “Fulfilled by Cainiao” services by merchants from our fast growing cross-border businesses, including AliExpress and Tmall Global. Daily package volume on Cainiao Network’s global parcel network for the month ended March 31, 2021 exceeded 5 million.</p><p>In China, Cainiao Network expanded the coverage of Cainiao Post (neighborhood and campus stations and residential self-pick up stations), as well as improved the customer experience of Cainiao Guoguo (crowdsourced parcel pick-up and delivery service). In March 2021, Cainiao Post’s average daily package volume nearly tripled year-over-year.</p><p><b>International – consistent strong growth of Lazada and AliExpress</b></p><p>Our international commerce retail business, mainly including Lazada and AliExpress, grew rapidly to achieve approximately 240 million annual active consumers in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.</p><p><i>Lazada</i>– Lazada recorded triple-digit year-over-year order growth during the fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2021. Lazada continued to focus on investing in technology and logistics to enable merchants to better service consumers. We have seen strong adoption of store operation and business analytics tools by merchants on the Lazada platform, enabling them to achieve scale and GMV growth.</p><p><i>AliExpress</i>– AliExpress is a marketplace for consumers from around the world to buy directly from manufacturers and distributors, mainly from China but also increasingly in consumers’ local markets. AliExpress continued to improve its localization initiatives in the areas of differentiated product offerings and improved local delivery experience, which resulted in robust user and GMV growth in fiscal year 2021.</p><p><b>Cloud Computing</b></p><p>In 2020, Alibaba Group was ranked third globally and first in the Asia Pacific region in the global Infrastructure-as-a-Service market, according to Gartner’s April 2021 report. Alibaba Cloud’s unique advantages are its proprietary technology and Alibaba Group’s continued commitment to invest in research and development in new product offerings and industry-specific solutions for our customers and partners. Highlights of our proprietary technologies in fiscal year 2021 include:</p><ul><li><b>Elastic Computing</b>- In February 2021, Alibaba Cloud launched the 7th generation ECS public cloud server that increases overall computing power by 40%. Built on top of our proprietary X-Dragon architecture, this new generation server offers mission critical security enhancements, which is especially important for customers in the Internet and finance industries that require fail-safe continuous operations and highly secure cloud infrastructure.</li><li><b>Database</b>- Our proprietary technologies have consistently won recognition from leading research and advisory organizations. For example, in December 2020, PolarDB, one of our key database products, won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.</li><li><b>Serverless</b>- In the first quarter of 2021, Forrester recognized Alibaba Function Compute, our suite of serverless products, as a leader in the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) market given our technological advancements and comprehensive product offerings. Alibaba Cloud is the only cloud vendor in China to be recognized as a FaaS leader.</li></ul><p>In fiscal year 2021, our cloud computing revenue grew 50% year-over-year, to RMB60,120 million (US$9,176 million), primarily driven by growth in revenue from customers in the Internet, public sector and finance industries. In the March 2021 quarter, cloud computing revenue grew 37% year-over-year to RMB16,761 million (US$2,558 million). The slower revenue growth during the quarter was primarily due to revenue decline from a top cloud customer in the Internet industry. This customer, which has a sizeable presence outside of China that used our overseas cloud services in the past, has decided to terminate the relationship with respect to their international business due to non-product related requirements. Excluding this customer, Alibaba Cloud’s top ten non-affiliated customers together accounted for no more than eight percent of Alibaba Cloud’s total revenue in fiscal year 2021. Going forward, we believe that our cloud computing revenue will be further diversified across customers and industries.</p><p><b>Digital Media and Entertainment</b></p><p>During fiscal year 2021, Youku continued to focus on delivering a superior user experience and increasing paying subscribers. Youku’s average daily subscriber base continued to grow at a healthy rate, increasing 35% year-over-year during the fiscal year. The increase in paying subscribers was driven by our offerings of original and exclusive content, our effective targeting of new subscribers and a greater contribution from the 88VIP membership program on our China retail marketplaces. We invested in original and exclusive content while ensuring cost efficiencies and return on investment, which resulted in narrowing annual adjusted EBITA losses year-over-year in fiscal year 2021.</p><p>Despite the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on cinemas and live performance industries, Alibaba Pictures significantly narrowed its losses in fiscal year 2021, given successful diversification of its revenue stream beyond film and ticketing business and enhanced operational efficiency of its online ticketing platform (Tao Piao Piao) with lowered sales and marketing expenses. Alibaba Pictures will continue to diversify its businesses to capture revenue opportunities in the entire entertainment value chain, including content development, production, promotion and distribution, as well as IP commercialization. We believe these initiatives will ensure Alibaba Pictures’ long-term growth potential with a diversified revenue stream.</p><p><b>Innovation Initiatives and Others</b></p><p><i>Amap</i><b>–</b>Amap is the largest provider of mobile digital map, navigation and real-time traffic information in China by monthly active users. It leverages big-data enabled digital mapping technology to power major mobile apps across different industries including local services, ride-hailing services and social networking.

Our China consumer-facing businesses served 891 million annual active consumers during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Our international retail marketplaces, which include mainly the AliExpress cross-border retail platform and Lazada in Southeast Asia, served approximately 240 million annual active consumers during the same period. Our China and international consumer segments combined to serve over one billion annual active consumers and generated RMB8,119 billion (US$1,239 billion) in GMV.Our digital infrastructure, such as smart logistics and cloud computing, which enables and underpins across our platforms to serve our major commerce, local services and entertainment businesses, gives us unique technology-driven capabilities to meet changing consumer demand and help our enterprise customers and partners achieve digital transformation.Core CommerceChina Retail Marketplaces – comprehensive product supply and engaging user experience drive consumer growth and high consumer retention rateConsumersIn March 2021, our China retail marketplaces had 925 million mobile MAUs, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 79 million and 23 million, respectively. There were 811 million annual active consumers on our China retail marketplaces for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, representing annual and quarterly net increases of 85 million and 32 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2021, approximately 70% of new annual active consumers were from less developed areas.In fiscal year 2021, the strong GMV and user growth on our China retail marketplaces reflected our strategic focus on less developed cities and towns and broadening offerings of products and services to meet diverse consumption demand. Overall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 21% year-over-year in fiscal year 2021, driven primarily by the fast-moving-consumer-goods (FMCG) and home furnishing categories, and 33% year-over-year in the March quarter, driven primarily by the apparel and home furnishing categories. For the March quarter, Tmall online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew 26% year-over-year and Taobao online physical goods GMV, excluding unpaid orders, grew even faster as SME merchants recovered from the pandemic.Our app platforms appeal to a growing and increasingly diverse consumer base at various income levels as well as present different purchase use cases for the same consumer. Taobao Deals (特价版) offers value-for-money products for the price-conscious consumer and achieved rapid growth in fiscal year 2021. Annual active consumers of Taobao Deals reached over 150 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. Taobao Deals continues to be an offering that attracts incremental users especially in less developed areas, and we have seen robust retention rate given its clear value-for-money proposition and its expanding product selections in different categories.We also saw increasing engagement of the existing consumer base on our China retail app platforms. The longer a consumer has shopped on our platforms, the more they spend through more orders across more product categories. In fiscal year 2021, average annual spending per consumer on our China retail marketplaces reached over RMB9,200 (US$1,404). Consumers on our China retail marketplaces exhibit high retention across all spending levels.Product SupplyA key to the success of our business is broadening product supply, including increasing the range of branded and imported products, going upstream to directly source agricultural products and expanding the breadth of selection of value-for-money and long-tail products. Consumption upgrading also helped to drive our business, as more consumers are purchasing from flagship stores of high-end brands and international retailers on our platforms. More than 200 luxury brands and retailers, such as Cartier, Farfetch, Gucci, IWC and Van Cleef & Arpels, operated their flagship stores on our China retail marketplaces, as of March 31, 2021.EngagementThe Taobao app is the largest social commerce platform in China, offering rich, highly relevant and curated content and features that enable merchants to engage with consumers through live-streaming, short-form videos, interactive games and microblogs. Among these interactive features, livestreaming is one of the fastest growing with significant scale. Taobao Live GMV reached over RMB500 billion (US$76.3 billion) in fiscal year 2021.New Retail – multi-format New Retail businesses built on an expanding digital supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment servicesOur New Retail strategy is to develop a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Over the years, we have helped many retailers digitally transform their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging our consumer insights and technology. These New Retail businesses are supported and strengthened by our ecosystem with an expanding supply chain and increasingly diversified fulfilment services.Our New Retail commerce infrastructure now offers a full range of high-frequency fulfilment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery and next day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products. We will continue to expand all of these fulfilment services across China to reach and serve even more consumers in both large cities and less developed areas as well as drive higher purchase frequency through more effective cross-selling on our China retail marketplaces.Community Marketplaces– As part of our latest exploration in New Retail, we started the Community Marketplaces business in select regions in China. Our Community Marketplaces business is supported by our next-day pickup fulfilment services and the supply capabilities of Freshippo, Sun Art and other partners. Given the initial success and long-term growth potential, we established a new business group in early 2021 to consolidate the resources and capabilities of the Alibaba Ecosystem in order to accelerate the growth of our Community Marketplaces business. Our Community Marketplaces are rapidly expanding their logistics and fulfilment infrastructure and aim to achieve broad coverage across mainland China within the next twelve months.Freshippo– Our self-operated retail chain Freshippo (known as “Hema” in Chinese) continued to execute a multi-format and multi-banner expansion strategy. In fiscal year 2021, Freshippo achieved healthy same-store sales growth, enriched and optimized its product selection and introduced new initiatives to improve customer experience. As of March 31, 2021, we had 257 self-operated Freshippo stores (compared to 202 stores as of March 31, 2020), primarily located in tier-one and tier-two cities throughout China.Taoxianda– Taoxianda, our online-offline retail integration service solution for FMCG brands and third-party grocery retail partners, puts us at the forefront of transforming the retail industry by digitalizing all aspects of store-based operations. Taoxianda drove Sun Art’s digitalization of its hypermarkets and, along with our other businesses, facilitated the growth of Sun Art’s online revenue. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, online revenue represented 24% of Sun Art’s sales of goods, increasing from 17% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, in addition to Sun Art, Taoxianda helped 42 retail chains to open online stores with services available across 145 cities in China and enabled over 168 retail chains, supermarkets and marketplaces to digitalize their marketing program.Local Consumer Services – Investing for new user acquisition and enhanced consumer experienceIn fiscal year 2021, Ele.me continued to improve its merchant supply and operating efficiency, as reflected in the increasing number of merchants, higher portion of GMV from national and regional chains and improved unit economics year-over-year. Building on this progress, starting from the March quarter 2021, Ele.me stepped up its investment in user acquisition as well as user experience enhancement. For example, during the Chinese New Year period Ele.me increased its rider subsidy to address the usual shortage of riders. As a result, Ele.me’s average daily number of paying members continued to grow strongly at approximately 40% year-over-year during the March quarter.Cainiao Network – improving efficiency across the Alibaba Ecosystem and the logistics industry in China and internationallyCainiao Network continues to expand both its domestic services and global smart logistics infrastructure by deepening integration with logistics partners as well as offering more products and services. In fiscal year 2021, after elimination of inter-company transactions, Cainiao Network achieved solid revenue growth of 68% year-over-year, to RMB37,258 million (US$5,687 million), representing 5% of our total revenue. Cainiao Network also reached an important milestone of generating positive operating cash flow during fiscal year 2021.A key driver of Cainiao Network’s strong financial performance is its global smart logistics infrastructure, which took years of investment to build. This global logistics infrastructure now enjoys increasing adoption of “Fulfilled by Cainiao” services by merchants from our fast growing cross-border businesses, including AliExpress and Tmall Global. Daily package volume on Cainiao Network’s global parcel network for the month ended March 31, 2021 exceeded 5 million.In China, Cainiao Network expanded the coverage of Cainiao Post (neighborhood and campus stations and residential self-pick up stations), as well as improved the customer experience of Cainiao Guoguo (crowdsourced parcel pick-up and delivery service). In March 2021, Cainiao Post’s average daily package volume nearly tripled year-over-year.International – consistent strong growth of Lazada and AliExpressOur international commerce retail business, mainly including Lazada and AliExpress, grew rapidly to achieve approximately 240 million annual active consumers in the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.Lazada– Lazada recorded triple-digit year-over-year order growth during the fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2021. Lazada continued to focus on investing in technology and logistics to enable merchants to better service consumers. We have seen strong adoption of store operation and business analytics tools by merchants on the Lazada platform, enabling them to achieve scale and GMV growth.AliExpress– AliExpress is a marketplace for consumers from around the world to buy directly from manufacturers and distributors, mainly from China but also increasingly in consumers’ local markets. AliExpress continued to improve its localization initiatives in the areas of differentiated product offerings and improved local delivery experience, which resulted in robust user and GMV growth in fiscal year 2021.Cloud ComputingIn 2020, Alibaba Group was ranked third globally and first in the Asia Pacific region in the global Infrastructure-as-a-Service market, according to Gartner’s April 2021 report. Alibaba Cloud’s unique advantages are its proprietary technology and Alibaba Group’s continued commitment to invest in research and development in new product offerings and industry-specific solutions for our customers and partners. Highlights of our proprietary technologies in fiscal year 2021 include:Elastic Computing- In February 2021, Alibaba Cloud launched the 7th generation ECS public cloud server that increases overall computing power by 40%. Built on top of our proprietary X-Dragon architecture, this new generation server offers mission critical security enhancements, which is especially important for customers in the Internet and finance industries that require fail-safe continuous operations and highly secure cloud infrastructure.Database- Our proprietary technologies have consistently won recognition from leading research and advisory organizations. For example, in December 2020, PolarDB, one of our key database products, won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.Serverless- In the first quarter of 2021, Forrester recognized Alibaba Function Compute, our suite of serverless products, as a leader in the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) market given our technological advancements and comprehensive product offerings. Alibaba Cloud is the only cloud vendor in China to be recognized as a FaaS leader.In fiscal year 2021, our cloud computing revenue grew 50% year-over-year, to RMB60,120 million (US$9,176 million), primarily driven by growth in revenue from customers in the Internet, public sector and finance industries. In the March 2021 quarter, cloud computing revenue grew 37% year-over-year to RMB16,761 million (US$2,558 million). The slower revenue growth during the quarter was primarily due to revenue decline from a top cloud customer in the Internet industry. This customer, which has a sizeable presence outside of China that used our overseas cloud services in the past, has decided to terminate the relationship with respect to their international business due to non-product related requirements. Excluding this customer, Alibaba Cloud’s top ten non-affiliated customers together accounted for no more than eight percent of Alibaba Cloud’s total revenue in fiscal year 2021. Going forward, we believe that our cloud computing revenue will be further diversified across customers and industries.Digital Media and EntertainmentDuring fiscal year 2021, Youku continued to focus on delivering a superior user experience and increasing paying subscribers. Youku’s average daily subscriber base continued to grow at a healthy rate, increasing 35% year-over-year during the fiscal year. The increase in paying subscribers was driven by our offerings of original and exclusive content, our effective targeting of new subscribers and a greater contribution from the 88VIP membership program on our China retail marketplaces. We invested in original and exclusive content while ensuring cost efficiencies and return on investment, which resulted in narrowing annual adjusted EBITA losses year-over-year in fiscal year 2021.Despite the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on cinemas and live performance industries, Alibaba Pictures significantly narrowed its losses in fiscal year 2021, given successful diversification of its revenue stream beyond film and ticketing business and enhanced operational efficiency of its online ticketing platform (Tao Piao Piao) with lowered sales and marketing expenses. Alibaba Pictures will continue to diversify its businesses to capture revenue opportunities in the entire entertainment value chain, including content development, production, promotion and distribution, as well as IP commercialization. We believe these initiatives will ensure Alibaba Pictures’ long-term growth potential with a diversified revenue stream.Innovation Initiatives and OthersAmap–Amap is the largest provider of mobile digital map, navigation and real-time traffic information in China by monthly active users. It leverages big-data enabled digital mapping technology to power major mobile apps across different industries including local services, ride-hailing services and social networking. Amap reached an important milestone of over 100 million average DAUs in the month of April 2021.Share RepurchasesPursuant to our share repurchase authorization, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and through the publication of this results announcement, we repurchased approximately 1.7 million of our ADSs (or approximately 13.6 million of our ordinary shares) for approximately US$371 million under the share repurchase program.

Free cash flow, which excluded these deposits and certain other items, was an outflow of RMB658 million (US$100 million) in the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to an outflow of RMB4,214 million in the same quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is included at the end of this results announcement.GuidanceThe guidance below is a forward-looking statement that reflects assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of the date of this announcement and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which we are not able to predict or control.

This year, however, the 90-year-old Buffett is taking the meeting to Los Angeles so he can be by 97-year-old Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger’s side once again. Munger resides in Los Angeles and missed the last annual meeting due to travel restrictions. It will be the first time that the annual meeting will take place outside of Omaha, Nebraska.While “Woodstock for Capitalists” will be missing the capitalists once again, the tone of the meeting may more likely resemble the meetings of old with shareholders clamoring for Buffett’s outlook on the world following an unprecedented year and the Oracle more likely to oblige after holding back last year with the country just starting its fight through the deadly and uncertain pandemic.“I hope there would be a pretty sharp contrast in the overall demeanor of the folks at Berkshire,” said Cathy Seifert, a Berkshire analyst at CFRA Research. “Last year, there was a degree of an alarm just because this was an event that was very difficult to price. It was kind of written all over his face. This annual meeting, the tone from an underlying operational perspective should be more relaxed.”(You can view last year’s annual meeting and the others at theWarren Buffett Archive.)Berkshire’s other vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, will be on hand to answer the three-and-a-half hours of questions as well.Berkshire’s B shareswere up more than 1% on the week, bringing their return in the last 12 months to more than 47%.Among the big topics shareholders will want answers on:Airlines:His thoughts on the industry after revealing at last year’s meeting he sold his entire stake (with the shares then subsequently roaring back).Deploying the $138 billion cash pile:Why he’s been buying back a record amount of Berkshire’s stock instead of making one large acquisition and what his plan is going forward.Market outlook:His thought’s on the stock market’s overall valuation following the pandemic comebackBubbles?:Cryptocurrencies and the other possible market manias that have popped up amid the huge rush of retail investors into marketsLife after Buffett and Munger:Berkshire’s succession planDumped airlinesAt the last annual meeting, Buffett revealed that Berkshiresold the entirety of its equity positionin the U.S. airline industry, includingstakes in United, American, Southwest and Delta Air Lines, worth north of $4 billion.“The world has changed for the airlines. And I don’t know how it’s changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way,” Buffett said at the time. “I don’t know if Americans have now changed their habits or will change their habits because of the extended period.”The sale conveyed a pessimistic view on the industry from the legendary buy-and-hold investor. Many Buffett watchers were left disappointed, however, as shares of those carriers soon embarked on an epic rebound, rallying triple digits from 2020 lows. Even president Donald Trump weighed in on the trade back then, saying that Buffett has been right “his whole life,” butmade a mistake selling airlines.“He might acknowledge that the velocity of this recovery was greater than anticipated,” said Seifert. “The airline disposal may have been a function of their belief that what’s going on in the airline industry may be secular and not cyclical. That’s the one fine distinction that investors may want him to make.”While airline stocks have rebounded drastically over the past year, many argue that the industry may have indeed changed fundamentally due to the economic fallout and the road to a full recovery remains bumpy.United Airlines said this month thatbusiness and international travel recovery is still far off even as the economy continues to reopen.“He may still be right about the airline industry with travel coming back slowly and there being too many planes,” said James Shanahan, a Berkshire analyst at Edward Jones. “Arguably he could still be right about that, but he’s certainly wrong on the stocks.”New stock movesBerkshire bought back arecord of $24.7 billion in its own shares last year, while Buffett also did some bargain-hunting amid the market comeback with sizable positions in big dividend payers ChevronandVerizon.Applewas still the conglomerate’s biggest common stock investment as of the end of 2020. Buffett’s conglomerate also appeared to dial back its exposure to financials. Berkshire exited itsJPMorganandPNC positionat the end of last year, while cutting theWells Fargostake was cut by nearly 60%.“When you think about the legacy of Berkshire Hathaway and all the operating businesses, including railroads, manufacturing, retail, utilities, it’s all old economy type companies,” Shanahan said. “The way the portfolio is comprised now after the selling of airline stocks and selling of the financial stocks, together with huge performance in Apple, it looks a lot more new economy now.”Shanahan estimated that Berkshire bought back another $5 billion of its own shares in the first quarter according to proxy filings.‘Elephant-sized’ deal?The conglomerate was still sitting on a huge cash war chest with more than $138 billion at the end of 2020. Buffett has yet to make the “elephant-sized acquisition” he’s been touting for years. At last year’s meeting, the legendary investor gave a simple reason for his inaction.“We have not done anything because we haven’t seen anything that attractive,” Buffett said. “We are not doing anything big, obviously. We are willing to do something very big. I mean you could come to me on Monday morning with something that involved $30, or $40 billion or $50 billion. And if we really like what we are seeing, we would do it.”The deal-making environment has only become all the more competitive over the past year with the meteoric rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. More than 500 blank-check deals with over $138 billion funds are seeking their target companies currently, according to SPAC Research.“This is a significant company with a significant cash position. Investors have the right to know what they intend to deploy the cash,” Seifert said. “They are entitled to have more than just an excuse. Investors are going to start to grow a bit weary if it’s just the same old story. But the stock has recovered nicely, so they are not going to be grumbling too much.”SuccessionWhen it comes to a concrete succession plan, shareholders might not get much more from Buffett and Munger even though they are now both nonagenarians.Abel, vice chairman of noninsurance operations at Berkshire, is seen as a top contender as Buffett’s successor.“I do not expect him to talk about succession in any more detail than he already had,” Shanahan said. “Elevating the status of Abel and Jain to the roles of vice chairmen and having them available and participating in annual meeting speaks volume. I don’t think he necessarily has to say more than that.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101575402,"gmtCreate":1619927051806,"gmtModify":1704336465386,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment thanks&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/101575402","repostId":"1103106179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103106179","pubTimestamp":1619917622,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103106179?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-02 09:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 2021: Highlights and storylines","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103106179","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Emily McCormick·ReporterSun, May 2, 2021, 5:03 AMWarren Buffett addressed investors around the world","content":"<p>Emily McCormick·ReporterSun, May 2, 2021, 5:03 AM</p><p>Warren Buffett addressed investors around the world on Saturday at Berkshire Hathaway's 2021 Annual Shareholder Meeting.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Playback Live Here！</b></a></p><p>In an hours-long event, the investing legend fielded questions on Berkshire's business and investment decisions,offered advice for first-time investorsand touted the strength of American corporations in a characteristically optimistic tone.Buffett nodded to the Federal Reserveand Congress for their swift response to the COVID-19 crisis, and underscored the rebound in the U.S. economy. And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”</p><p>—</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California.

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.—Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.—Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”—Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"—A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”—Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"—Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"—Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.—Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.—A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"—One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":144,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3570943747362190","authorId":"3570943747362190","authorIdStr":"3570943747362190","name":"ZBM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/270b131944942f65c2892aebe29ce0dd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3570943747362190"},"content":"Done!

The print is expected to show a rise of 3.5% in April over last year for the biggest increase since 2008, according to Bloomberg consensus data. This would also accelerate after a year-on-year jump of 2.3% in March. On a month-over-month basis, the PCE likely increased by 0.6%, accelerating after a 0.5% increase during the prior month.</p><p>Stripping away volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core PCE is expected to have increased by 2.9% in April over last year, which would be the largest jump in more than two decades.</p><p>Though the core PCE serves as the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the expected surge in this week's inflation reports are unlikely to provoke immediate concern for the central bank. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said repeatedly he believes inflationary pressures this year will be \"transitory,\" largely reflecting base effects as this year's data lap last year's pandemic-depressed levels. And for years previously, inflation ran well below the central bank's targeted levels.</p><p>In the words of the central bank's latest monetary policy statement, Federal Open Market Committee members wrote, \"With inflation running persistently below this longer-run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2% for some time so that inflation averages 2% over time and longer‑term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2%.\" In other words, the Fed has suggested monetary policy would remain as is — with interest rates near zero and the Fed's asset purchases taking place at a rate of $120 billion per month — as the economic recovery out of the pandemic progresses.</p><p>Still, the market has suggested it might need more convincing before agreeing that the jump in inflation will not be long-lasting or prompt a change in the Fed's current ultra-accommodative monetary policy positioning. Longer-duration assets like growth and technology stocks have especially come under pressure in recent months amid inflationary concerns, given prospects that higher rates might undercut future earnings potential. The information technology sector has sharply underperformed the broader S&amp;P 500 so far this year, reversing course after outperforming strongly in 2020.</p><p><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-05/0dd5d170-bb4b-11eb-aaed-1d008e6a3a00\" tg-width=\"4660\" tg-height=\"3062\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 15: A pedestrian carries a shopping bag as he walks through the Union Square shopping district on April 15, 2021 in San Francisco, California. According to a report by the U.S. Commerce Department, retail sales surged 9.8 percent in March as Americans started to spend $1,400 government stimulus checks. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)Justin Sullivan via Getty Images</p><p>\"Markets have basically made inflation the battleground issue for determining whether or not it's really this rotation trade that'll win out the rest of this year, or whether it's the tech and growth stocks that won out last year,\" James Liu, Clearnomics founder and CEO, told Yahoo Finance last week. \"You've seen this bounce back and forth throughout the course of this year.\"</p><p>Heading into this week's PCE report, a number of other inflation prints have also exceeded expectations, pointing to an increase in both consumer and producer prices. Government data showed that headline consumer prices surged by a faster than expected 4.2% last month. Excluding food and energy, prices jumped 0.9% in April and were up 3.0% over the year. And producer prices also came in higher than expected, with core producer prices rising 4.1% in April over last year versus the 3.8% increase expected.

The print is expected to show a rise of 3.5% in April over last year for the biggest increase since 2008, according to Bloomberg consensus data. This would also accelerate after a year-on-year jump of 2.3% in March. On a month-over-month basis, the PCE likely increased by 0.6%, accelerating after a 0.5% increase during the prior month.Stripping away volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core PCE is expected to have increased by 2.9% in April over last year, which would be the largest jump in more than two decades.Though the core PCE serves as the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the expected surge in this week's inflation reports are unlikely to provoke immediate concern for the central bank. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said repeatedly he believes inflationary pressures this year will be \"transitory,\" largely reflecting base effects as this year's data lap last year's pandemic-depressed levels. And for years previously, inflation ran well below the central bank's targeted levels.In the words of the central bank's latest monetary policy statement, Federal Open Market Committee members wrote, \"With inflation running persistently below this longer-run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2% for some time so that inflation averages 2% over time and longer‑term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2%.\" In other words, the Fed has suggested monetary policy would remain as is — with interest rates near zero and the Fed's asset purchases taking place at a rate of $120 billion per month — as the economic recovery out of the pandemic progresses.Still, the market has suggested it might need more convincing before agreeing that the jump in inflation will not be long-lasting or prompt a change in the Fed's current ultra-accommodative monetary policy positioning. Longer-duration assets like growth and technology stocks have especially come under pressure in recent months amid inflationary concerns, given prospects that higher rates might undercut future earnings potential. The information technology sector has sharply underperformed the broader S&P 500 so far this year, reversing course after outperforming strongly in 2020.SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 15: A pedestrian carries a shopping bag as he walks through the Union Square shopping district on April 15, 2021 in San Francisco, California. According to a report by the U.S. Commerce Department, retail sales surged 9.8 percent in March as Americans started to spend $1,400 government stimulus checks. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)Justin Sullivan via Getty Images\"Markets have basically made inflation the battleground issue for determining whether or not it's really this rotation trade that'll win out the rest of this year, or whether it's the tech and growth stocks that won out last year,\" James Liu, Clearnomics founder and CEO, told Yahoo Finance last week. \"You've seen this bounce back and forth throughout the course of this year.\"Heading into this week's PCE report, a number of other inflation prints have also exceeded expectations, pointing to an increase in both consumer and producer prices. Government data showed that headline consumer prices surged by a faster than expected 4.2% last month. Excluding food and energy, prices jumped 0.9% in April and were up 3.0% over the year. And producer prices also came in higher than expected, with core producer prices rising 4.1% in April over last year versus the 3.8% increase expected. These stronger-than-expected increases could portend some upside risk to this week's PCE print, some economists suggested.\"The April CPI data were stronger than our expectation, suggesting a more front-loaded impact from transitory factors, pressure from semiconductor shortages and the resurgence of demand for sectors affected by the pandemic,\" Nomura Chief Economist Lewis Alexander wrote in a note Friday. \"Given that the core PCE price index is a chain-weighted index, an expected rise in spending for COVID-sensitive services could amplify the magnitude of corresponding prices.\"Consumer confidenceUpdated readings on sentiment among consumers are also due for release this week.On Main Street, consumers have also observed rising prices.

The rest of the FAANG stocks —Apple,Amazon,NetflixandGoogle parent Alphabet— have not broken through to their own since at least April.\nMichael Binger, president of Gradient Investments, says Facebook’s win streak is not over.\n“Facebook is continuing to be a buy for us. We own it I would add more if you don’t own it here. It’s the best consumer-driven internet play out there in my opinion. They’ve got a great advertising platform, 18 to 20% growth for the next several years. You’re getting that at a reasonable price,” Binger told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Tuesday.\nFacebook is the second-best FAANG performer this year, behind Alphabet, rising 22%.\nBut, that’s not the only stock in the bunch that Binger likes. He highlights Alphabet as one of his other top picks. On Alphabet, he says the company is a “leader of the pack” with its Google search and YouTube video platform.\nApple, too, is a buy for Binger after its sharp pullback. That stock has fallen 13% from a January peak.\n“I see Apple as a core holding, we own it, we love it and I think you could buy it right here on this pullback. The PE multiple has actually come down to the low-20s right now. So, I like Apple here,” he said.\nIn the same interview, Gina Sanchez, CEO of Chantico Global and chief market strategist at Lido Advisors, said Amazon looks to be one of the better picks of the bunch.\n“This is where that fine nuance between growth and price leads you to growth-at-a-reasonable price,” Sanchez said. “Amazon, even though it’s probably one of the most highly priced of all of the FAANGs, has a more interesting road ahead because they had strong growth during the pandemic. They’re probably going to lock in those consumers, their cloud business is still growing dramatically, and so the roadmap for them is very good.”\nAmazon trades at 51.5 times forward earnings. Facebook, the cheapest of the bunch, trades with a multiple of less than 24 times.\n“When you look at these interesting stocks, Amazon seems fairly priced given that it has still significant growth to come,” she said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":599,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":116076038,"gmtCreate":1622767951424,"gmtModify":1704190735757,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like thank you!","listText":"Like thank you!","text":"Like thank you!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/116076038","repostId":"1182667134","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1182667134","pubTimestamp":1622761779,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1182667134?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow ends day flat as economic comeback plays offset losses in tech","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1182667134","media":"CNBC","summary":"Cyclical stocks lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average off its low on Thursday to close the session","content":"<div>\n<p>Cyclical stocks lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average off its low on Thursday to close the session near the flatline, while better-than-expected labor market data helped support sentiment.The blue-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/02/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.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;

The S&P 500 declined 0.4% to 4,192.85 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1% to 13,614.51.The benchmark S&P 500 sits about 1% from its all-time high reached earlier last month, but it has been stuck around these levels for about the last two weeks. The S&P 500 is up more than 11% this year so far.Merck and Dow Inc. were the two best performers in the 30-stock benchmark, both rising more than 2%. Consumer staples and utilities were the biggest gainers among 11 S&P 500 sectors, while consumer discretionary and tech weighed on the broader market, falling 1.2% and 0.9%, respectively.Shares of General Motors climbed nearly 6.4% after the company said it expects its results for the first half of 2021 to be “significantly better” than its prior guidance.On the data front, private job growth for May accelerated at its fastest pace in nearly a year as companies hired nearly a million workers, according to a report Thursday from payroll processing firm ADP.Total hires came to 978,000 for the month, a big jump from April’s 654,000 and the largest gain since June 2020. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 680,000.Meanwhile,first-time claims for unemployment benefitsfor the week ended May 29 totaled 385,000, versus a Dow Jones estimate of 393,000. It also marked the first time that jobless claims fell below 400,000 since the early days of the pandemic.“With ADP knocking it out of the park, and jobless claims breaking that 400k barrier—a pandemic low—all eyes will be on the larger jobs picture tomorrow,” said Mike Loewengart, a managing director at E-Trade. “With seemingly all systems go on the jobs front, the economy is flashing some very real signs that this isn’t just a comeback—expansion mode could be on the horizon.”The market may be on hold before the release of the jobs report Friday, which is likely to show an additional 671,000 nonfarm payrolls in May, according to economists polled by Dow Jones. The economy added 266,000 jobs in April.Investors continued to monitor the wild action in meme stocks, particularly theater chain AMC Entertainment. The stock tumbled as much as 30% after practically doubling in the prior session, but shares cut losses after movie theater chain said it completed a stock offering launched just hours ago,raising $587 million.The stock ended the day about 18% lower.Other meme stocks also came under pressure Thursday. Bed Bath & Beyond fell more than 27%. The SoFi Social 50 ETF (SFYF), which tracks the top 50 most widely held U.S. listed stocks on SoFi’s retail brokerage platform, tumbled more than 6%.Reminiscent of what occurred earlier this year, retail traders rallying together on Reddit triggered a short squeeze in AMC earlier this week. On Wednesday, short-sellers betting against the stock lost $2.8 billion as the shares surged, according to S3 Partners. That brings their year-to-date losses to more than $5 billion, according to S3. Short sellers are forced to buy back the stock to cut their losses when it keeps rallying like this.The meme stock bubble in GameStop earlier this year weighed on the market a bit as investors worried it meant too much speculative activity was in the stock market. As losses in hedge funds betting against the stock mounted, worries increased about a pullback in risk-taking across Wall Street that could hit the overall market. AMC’s latest surge did not appear to be causing similar concerns so far.Here are company's financial statementsSlack tops Q1 expectations, ends quarter with 169,000 total paid customersLululemon first-quarter sales rise 88%, topping estimates, as store traffic reboundsCrowdStrike stock rises as earnings, outlook top Street viewDocuSign stock pops on earnings, outlook beat","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197553251,"gmtCreate":1621475018073,"gmtModify":1704358176312,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment thank you!&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment thank you!&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment thank you!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197553251","repostId":"1176686071","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1176686071","pubTimestamp":1621410217,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176686071?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 15:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Entertainment: The Path Does Not Look Pretty","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176686071","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\n#AMCSqueeze, #AMC100K and #AMCtothemoon were some of the trending hashtags on twitter as in","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>#AMCSqueeze, #AMC100K and #AMCtothemoon were some of the trending hashtags on twitter as investors look to push AMC into a short squeeze.</li>\n <li>The squeeze potential does offer investors the chance to make quick fortunes, but does not fundamentally improve nor change the underlying business.</li>\n <li>AMC has struggled during the pandemic and remains burdened with a high debt load which likely will cause quite some issues down the road.</li>\n <li>If a squeeze drives the price higher, AMC is likely to sell the remaining 31 million shares authorized to secure a higher price per share and add more cash.</li>\n <li>Future notes/loans should be at high double-digit interest rates, and inability to pay these and repay non-convertible notes raises bankruptcy probability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3dea28e72dd8c3bfae7221635dfc8fcb\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"513\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Photo by Massimo Giachetti/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>#AMCSqueeze, #AMC100K and #AMCtothemoon were some of the trending hashtags on Twitter going in to the open on Tuesday as AMC Entertainment (AMC) rose for its eighth straight day.

However, broader industry trends point to box office stagnation in the face of streaming content wars. Box office ticket sales, shown in the first graph below, have been on a downward trend since 2002, while box office revenues in North America, show in the second graph below, have grown at a slow pace and have actually declined since 2002 on an inflation-adjusted basis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae9856f5dcf6f223d9b4c25b4dcaf539\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"442\"><span>Graphic fromStatista</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db30c09c02634e8a6a6b8128edf874a1\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"743\"><span>Graphic fromStatista</span></p>\n<p>The overall pace of revenue growth at the box office is slow, thus a recovery will likely be extremely prolonged even as restrictions ease. Streaming has played a larger role in the split between box office and at-home watching, with content on a platform like Disney+ having shorter exclusivity windows in theaters, at 45 days instead of 90. Even though AMC could be finding some higher market share domestically against competition like Cinemark (CNK) and Cineworld (OTCPK:CNNWF), the three don't yet have an answer to competition from streaming, with Disney+ and HBO Max among the main threats, with Warner Bros.debuting all new titles&nbsp;for 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max the same day.</p>\n<p>Financially, AMC continues to be burdened down by a high debt load, and faces a&nbsp;high annualized interest expense&nbsp;alongside other factors that could impact its ability to operate on a long-term horizon and raise the probability for further dilution or even Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the 2025 notes near maturity.</p>\n<p>AMC continues to dilute to raise capital, with the most recent&nbsp;43 million share offering&nbsp;raising $428 million, boosting near-term liquidity far past $1 billion with implied cash on hand around $1.2 billion. AMC also brought in over $600 million through the Odeon term loan as well as the toggle notes due in 2026. While this is an improvement to the balance sheet in terms of liquidity, high interest expenses, a wide shareholder deficit, and cash outflow for continuing operations increase probability of more dilution and raise red flags down the road.</p>\n<p>Even with the paydown in&nbsp;corporate borrowings, bringing the total down to $5.44 billion from nearly $5.7 billion in December, interest expense on these borrowings has doubled as AMC was forced to borrow at higher rates due to its fragile balance sheet. Interest expense for corporate borrowings during Q1 more than doubled from $71.3 million to $151.5 million, with $70 million in non-cash and $52.7 million in PIK interest expense.</p>\n<p>This puts AMC at an annualized rate of $600 million in interest expenses, which would leave it in a precarious position if that is the case - even if AMC can return to full strength by year-end 2022/2023, it has not shown an ability to generate that much cash from operations, reaching just $579 million in 2019. This could make it difficult to keep paying down and reducing the debt load while balancing higher interest payments each quarter. With a cash outflow north of $300 million for the quarter, a significant cash raise is likely to be needed before the end of the year. Consecutive losses of this degree through the year (likely for the remaining quarters this fiscal year) will cause a large dent to liquidity.</p>\n<p>AMC has just about 30 million shares authorized but not yet issued, so it still can some cash through at the market offerings. If a short squeeze drives the price higher, then it is much more likely that AMC will look to hold another offering to add more cash and secure a higher price per share. However, once those shares are issued, AMC's need for cash will likely be satiated through debt/notes, of which it will have to face double-digit interest rates on. Management did look to&nbsp;increase authorized share count&nbsp;by 500 million to 1.024 billion, but withdrew the proposal at the annual shareholder meeting.</p>\n<p>AMC's&nbsp;debt swap last summer&nbsp;to reduce debt and stave off bankruptcy saw the company take on a 10/12% PIK due in 2026, and the two capital raises in Q1 are at similar and higher interest rates. The&nbsp;Odeon term loan&nbsp;due in 2023 has a 10.75% rate the first year and 11.25% until maturity, while the&nbsp;PIK&nbsp;is at a 15%/17% cash/PIK rate, with the interest being solely in cash from July 2022 through maturity. Any future notes or loans are likely to be at high rates like these, so interest expense could remain elevated for multiple quarters or years until these notes start to mature. This could increase the probability of bankruptcy down the line, in 2023 or later, if AMC cannot find the cash to repay some of these non-convertible notes after years of high interest payments.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>At the end of the day, not every investor is buying shares for the sole purpose of the short squeeze, and it's important to keep in mind that a short squeeze does not improve the fundamentals of the company (aside from cash raise potential) or the stagnation of the theater industry. While the squeeze does offer a substantial degree of returns, it could happen quickly or erode into a mania-like state and be prone to flash crashes, much like GameStop.</p>\n<p>AMC isn't the only player in the industry with a high short interest, with peer Cinemark seeing its short interest above 20%, signalling that the reason behind the shorts, i.e. more dilution driving shares lower, failure to raise capital to operate, and higher probabilities of bankruptcy, could be quite valid. However, Cinemark isn't in quite as bad a situation as AMC is financially - while it does have nearly 5x debt/cash, it does not have a shareholder deficit, nor rising interest expenses to the same degree, and 180 million more shares available to issue (~150% of total outstanding).</p>\n<p>However, the struggles across the industry during the recovery and in the face of competition from streaming do not look promising. AMC is running out of shares to issue to raise cash, and faces double-digit interest rates if it turns to notes; while it does have over $1 billion in current liquidity, that could evaporate quickly with the current cash outflow and interest expense rate. The rebound in attendance and revenues is likely to take years, while the overall industry saw declining ticket sales and bumpy box office revenues for over a decade as streaming service competition heats up. While a short squeeze has nothing to do with and no impact on the fundamentals, AMC's financial situation looks to set it up for more issues down the road, possibly including bankruptcy in a few years.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Even though AMC could be finding some higher market share domestically against competition like Cinemark (CNK) and Cineworld (OTCPK:CNNWF), the three don't yet have an answer to competition from streaming, with Disney+ and HBO Max among the main threats, with Warner Bros.debuting all new titles for 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max the same day.\nFinancially, AMC continues to be burdened down by a high debt load, and faces a high annualized interest expense alongside other factors that could impact its ability to operate on a long-term horizon and raise the probability for further dilution or even Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the 2025 notes near maturity.\nAMC continues to dilute to raise capital, with the most recent 43 million share offering raising $428 million, boosting near-term liquidity far past $1 billion with implied cash on hand around $1.2 billion. AMC also brought in over $600 million through the Odeon term loan as well as the toggle notes due in 2026. While this is an improvement to the balance sheet in terms of liquidity, high interest expenses, a wide shareholder deficit, and cash outflow for continuing operations increase probability of more dilution and raise red flags down the road.\nEven with the paydown in corporate borrowings, bringing the total down to $5.44 billion from nearly $5.7 billion in December, interest expense on these borrowings has doubled as AMC was forced to borrow at higher rates due to its fragile balance sheet. Interest expense for corporate borrowings during Q1 more than doubled from $71.3 million to $151.5 million, with $70 million in non-cash and $52.7 million in PIK interest expense.\nThis puts AMC at an annualized rate of $600 million in interest expenses, which would leave it in a precarious position if that is the case - even if AMC can return to full strength by year-end 2022/2023, it has not shown an ability to generate that much cash from operations, reaching just $579 million in 2019. This could make it difficult to keep paying down and reducing the debt load while balancing higher interest payments each quarter. With a cash outflow north of $300 million for the quarter, a significant cash raise is likely to be needed before the end of the year. Consecutive losses of this degree through the year (likely for the remaining quarters this fiscal year) will cause a large dent to liquidity.\nAMC has just about 30 million shares authorized but not yet issued, so it still can some cash through at the market offerings. If a short squeeze drives the price higher, then it is much more likely that AMC will look to hold another offering to add more cash and secure a higher price per share. However, once those shares are issued, AMC's need for cash will likely be satiated through debt/notes, of which it will have to face double-digit interest rates on. Management did look to increase authorized share count by 500 million to 1.024 billion, but withdrew the proposal at the annual shareholder meeting.\nAMC's debt swap last summer to reduce debt and stave off bankruptcy saw the company take on a 10/12% PIK due in 2026, and the two capital raises in Q1 are at similar and higher interest rates. The Odeon term loan due in 2023 has a 10.75% rate the first year and 11.25% until maturity, while the PIK is at a 15%/17% cash/PIK rate, with the interest being solely in cash from July 2022 through maturity. Any future notes or loans are likely to be at high rates like these, so interest expense could remain elevated for multiple quarters or years until these notes start to mature. This could increase the probability of bankruptcy down the line, in 2023 or later, if AMC cannot find the cash to repay some of these non-convertible notes after years of high interest payments.\nThe Bottom Line\nAt the end of the day, not every investor is buying shares for the sole purpose of the short squeeze, and it's important to keep in mind that a short squeeze does not improve the fundamentals of the company (aside from cash raise potential) or the stagnation of the theater industry. While the squeeze does offer a substantial degree of returns, it could happen quickly or erode into a mania-like state and be prone to flash crashes, much like GameStop.\nAMC isn't the only player in the industry with a high short interest, with peer Cinemark seeing its short interest above 20%, signalling that the reason behind the shorts, i.e. more dilution driving shares lower, failure to raise capital to operate, and higher probabilities of bankruptcy, could be quite valid. However, Cinemark isn't in quite as bad a situation as AMC is financially - while it does have nearly 5x debt/cash, it does not have a shareholder deficit, nor rising interest expenses to the same degree, and 180 million more shares available to issue (~150% of total outstanding).\nHowever, the struggles across the industry during the recovery and in the face of competition from streaming do not look promising. AMC is running out of shares to issue to raise cash, and faces double-digit interest rates if it turns to notes; while it does have over $1 billion in current liquidity, that could evaporate quickly with the current cash outflow and interest expense rate. The rebound in attendance and revenues is likely to take years, while the overall industry saw declining ticket sales and bumpy box office revenues for over a decade as streaming service competition heats up. While a short squeeze has nothing to do with and no impact on the fundamentals, AMC's financial situation looks to set it up for more issues down the road, possibly including bankruptcy in a few years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":292,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":105572479,"gmtCreate":1620313593091,"gmtModify":1704341874430,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"RIP...

Swensen was born inRiver Falls, Wisconsin. His father, Richard Swensen, was a chemistry professor and dean at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. His mother, Grace, after raising six children, became a Lutheran minister. After graduating from River Falls High School in 1971 Swensen elected to stay in his hometown of River Falls and receive hisB.A.andB.S.in 1975 from theUniversity of Wisconsin-River Fallswhere his father Richard Swensen was a professor. Swensen pursued a PhD ineconomicsat Yale, where he wrote hisdissertation,<i>A Model for the Valuation ofCorporate Bonds.</i>One of Swensen's dissertation advisers at Yale wasJames Tobin, a top economic adviser toJohn F. Kennedyadministration and a future Nobel Prize laureate in economics. According to Charles Ellis, founder of Greenwich Associates and former chair of Yale's investment committee, \"When it snowed, David went to Jim's house to shovel the sidewalk\". James Tobin's Nobel Prize, among other things, was for his contribution in creation of Modern Portfolio Theory. Swensen was fascinated by the idea of Modern Portfolio Theory. During his 2018 reunion speech Swensen said: \"For a given level of return, if you diversify you can get that return at lower risk. For a given level of risk, if you diversify you can get a higher return. That's pretty cool! Free lunch!\"</p><p><b>Investment career</b></p><p>Swensen began his investment career in the early 1980s, and has since advised theCarnegie Corporation, theNew York Stock Exchange, theHoward Hughes Medical Institute, theCourtauld Institute of Art, theYale-New Haven Hospital, The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF), theEdna McConnell Clark Foundation, and the States of&nbsp;Connecticut&nbsp;and&nbsp;Massachusetts.</p><p><b>Salomon Brothers</b></p><p>Following his academic interest in valuation of corporate bonds, Swensen joined Salomon Brothers in 1980. This career move was suggested by a Salomon Brothers investment banker and Yale alumni, Gene Dattel, who was deeply impressed by Swensen. In 1981 Swensen worked to structure the world's first swap agreement, a deal betweenIBMand theWorld Bankwhich allowed to hedge their exposure to Swiss francs and German marks.</p><p><b>Lehman Brothers</b></p><p>Prior to joining Yale in 1985, Swensen spent six years onWall Streetas senior vice president atLehman Brothers,&nbsp;specializing in the firm'sswapactivities, and as an associate incorporate financeforSalomon Brothers(here he worked for three years prior to joining Lehman Brothers), where his work focused on developing new financial technologies. Swensen engineered the first swap transaction according to<i>When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management</i>byRoger Lowenstein.</p><p><b>Yale University endowment</b></p><p>Swensen was tapped to serve as the Yale endowment manager at age 31 in 1985.&nbsp;This position was offered by Swensen's other dissertation adviser, Yale's provost,William Brainard. Swensen's candidacy was suggested by James Tobin, who, despite his former student's young age, believed he could be the right person. Swensen was hesitant about taking the job at first, since he did not know much about portfolio management aside from his studies in graduate school. Nevertheless, Brainard convinced him to take the position and Swensen started on April 1, 1985 by taking 80% pay cut.&nbsp;A year later, in 1986, he was joined by Yale College and School of Management graduate Dean Takahashi, who soon became Swensen's trusted deputy. In 1985, when Swensen started managing the endowment, it was worth $1 billion; in 2019 it was worth $29.4 billion.</p><p>As of 2005, the fund has managed annualized returns of 16.1%. He has been called \"Yale's 8 billion dollar man\" for his attainment of nearly $8 billion for the college endowment from 1985 to 2005.&nbsp;According to former Yale President, economistRichard Levin, Swensen's \"contribution\" to Yale is greater than the sum of all the donations made in more than two decades. \"We've just done better,\" Levin says, because of Swensen's \"uncanny ability\" to pick the best outside money managers. Swensen's former staff members, who later became managers of other endowment funds - includingMIT,StanfordandPrinceton- also showed impressive results in multiplying fund wealth.</p><p>In September 2014, Swensen began to move the Yale endowment away from investment in companies that have a large greenhouse footprint, expressing Yale's preferences in a letter to the endowment's money managers. The letter asked them to consider the effect of their investments on climate change, and to refrain from investing in companies that do not make reasonable efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

In 1981 Swensen worked to structure the world's first swap agreement, a deal betweenIBMand theWorld Bankwhich allowed to hedge their exposure to Swiss francs and German marks.Lehman BrothersPrior to joining Yale in 1985, Swensen spent six years onWall Streetas senior vice president atLehman Brothers, specializing in the firm'sswapactivities, and as an associate incorporate financeforSalomon Brothers(here he worked for three years prior to joining Lehman Brothers), where his work focused on developing new financial technologies. Swensen engineered the first swap transaction according toWhen Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital ManagementbyRoger Lowenstein.Yale University endowmentSwensen was tapped to serve as the Yale endowment manager at age 31 in 1985. This position was offered by Swensen's other dissertation adviser, Yale's provost,William Brainard. Swensen's candidacy was suggested by James Tobin, who, despite his former student's young age, believed he could be the right person. Swensen was hesitant about taking the job at first, since he did not know much about portfolio management aside from his studies in graduate school. Nevertheless, Brainard convinced him to take the position and Swensen started on April 1, 1985 by taking 80% pay cut. A year later, in 1986, he was joined by Yale College and School of Management graduate Dean Takahashi, who soon became Swensen's trusted deputy. In 1985, when Swensen started managing the endowment, it was worth $1 billion; in 2019 it was worth $29.4 billion.As of 2005, the fund has managed annualized returns of 16.1%. He has been called \"Yale's 8 billion dollar man\" for his attainment of nearly $8 billion for the college endowment from 1985 to 2005. According to former Yale President, economistRichard Levin, Swensen's \"contribution\" to Yale is greater than the sum of all the donations made in more than two decades. \"We've just done better,\" Levin says, because of Swensen's \"uncanny ability\" to pick the best outside money managers. Swensen's former staff members, who later became managers of other endowment funds - includingMIT,StanfordandPrinceton- also showed impressive results in multiplying fund wealth.In September 2014, Swensen began to move the Yale endowment away from investment in companies that have a large greenhouse footprint, expressing Yale's preferences in a letter to the endowment's money managers. The letter asked them to consider the effect of their investments on climate change, and to refrain from investing in companies that do not make reasonable efforts to reduce carbon emissions. This method was characterized by Swensen as a more subtle and flexible approach, as opposed to outright divestment.Swensen made headlines on March 5, 2018 for arguing with the undergraduate editor-in-chief of theYale Daily News. Swensen called the editor-in-chief a \"coward\" for deleting an inaccurate sentence and removing a footnote in an op-ed that he submitted to the paper; his column, which he required to be published unedited, responded to a student teach-in that criticized companies allegedly in the Yale portfolio.Unconventional successIn 2005, Swensen wrote a book calledUnconventional Success,which is an investment guide for the individual investor. The general strategy that he presents can be boiled down to the following three main points of advice:The investor should construct a portfolio with money allocated to 6 core asset classes, diversifying among them and biasing toward the equity sections.The investor should rebalance the portfolio on a regular basis (rebalancingback to the original weightings of the asset classes in the portfolio).In the absence of confidence in a market-beating strategy, invest in low-costindex fundsandexchange-traded funds. The investor should be very watchful of costs as some indices are poorly constructed and some fund companies charge excessive fees (or generate large tax liabilities).He slams manymutual fundcompanies for charging excessive fees and not living up to their fiduciary responsibility. He highlights the conflict of interest inherent in the mutual funds, claiming they want high fee, high turnover funds while investors want the opposite.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":103341724,"gmtCreate":1619751026068,"gmtModify":1704271847293,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow great news!","listText":"Wow great news!","text":"Wow great news!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/103341724","repostId":"2131534297","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378520101,"gmtCreate":1619051392003,"gmtModify":1704718799920,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378520101","repostId":"2129803357","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129803357","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":1619035258,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129803357?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-22 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street rebounds after two-day decline; Netflix slides","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129803357","media":"Reuters","summary":"Nasdaq index outshines S&P 500 at closeNetflix falls as subscriber growth slowsVerizon shares fall a","content":"<ul><li>Nasdaq index outshines S&amp;P 500 at close</li><li>Netflix falls as subscriber growth slows</li><li>Verizon shares fall after Q1 results</li></ul><p>NEW YORK/BANGALORE, April 21 (Reuters) - Wall Street rallied on Wednesday, rebounding from a two-day decline, as a tilt toward stocks poised to benefit from a recovering economy offset Netflix Inc's    sell-off after its disappointing results.</p><p>Shares of Netflix slumped a day after the world's largest streaming service said slower production of TV shows and movies during the pandemic hurt subscriber growth in the first quarter.</p><p>But stocks rallied throughout the day, building steam as the tech-heavy Nasdaq overtook the S&amp;P 500 in percentage gain shortly before the close.</p><p>Intuitive Surgical Inc    surged to an all-time high as its results trounced estimates.

Management is guiding for around $2.15 in 2021 non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS), which would give it a forward P/E ratio around 25. That's not exactly cheap for a slow grower. The only thing really going for Coke is its stable and growing payout. The company is guiding for non-GAAP 2021 free cash flow (FCF) of $8.5 billion, which is more than enough to cover its $7.1 billion in dividend obligations. Coke is likely to continue distributing the majority of its FCF as a dividend payment. But given Coke's valuation and shaky performance, it's best to steer clear unless its price comes down significantly.</p>\n<h2>2. Chevron</h2>\n<h3>Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio Stats</h3>\n<p>Value: $4.99 billion</p>\n<p>Allocation: 1.6%</p>\n<p>Rank: 10/49 securities</p>\n<p>Dividend Yield: 5%</p>\n<p>The energy sector is full of risky companies and high-yield dividend stocks that are riddled with debt. But it's also <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the best sectors to find value. Buffett is well aware of this opportunity. And although Berkshire owns just two energy stocks, Chevron and <b>Suncor Energy</b>, it also owns 91.1% of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which has over $100 billion in assets.</p>\n<p>Chevron has Buffett written all over it. After an expansion period of high spending and mounting debt, Chevron has spent the last five years decreasing its spending and improving its balance sheet. It has arguably the best balance sheet of the oil majors and can sustain its current oil and gas production without outlaying too much capital. This provides advantages over bulkier majors like <b>ExxonMobil</b>. With WTI oil prices above $60 a barrel, Chevron is well-positioned to have a nice recovery and continue raising its dividend, which currently yields 5%.</p>\n<h2>3. AbbVie</h2>\n<h3>Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio Stats</h3>\n<p>Value: $2.76 billion</p>\n<p>Allocation: 0.9%</p>\n<p>Rank: 15/49 securities</p>\n<p>Dividend Yield: 4.6%</p>\n<p>AbbVie was spun off from <b>Abbott Laboratories</b> in 2013 and has raised its dividend ever since. And because Abbott was a Dividend Aristocrat in 2013 (and continues to be today), that makes AbbVie <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> as well.</p>\n<p>Buffett has been increasingly looking at the healthcare industry for value and dividends. AbbVie's 4.8% dividend yield and low valuation are right up Buffett's alley. It generated $10.56 billion in 2020 adjusted diluted EPS, giving it an adjusted P/E ratio of just 10. It's also guiding for around $12.42 in adjusted diluted 2021 EPS. The only real danger with AbbVie is its concentrated drug portfolio. 43% of 2020 revenue came from Humira, the leading prescription medicine used to treat Crohn's disease.&nbsp;Humira's revenue is expected to decline in the coming years, so AbbVie is developing new drugs to help offset that revenue loss. AbbVie isn't without its risks, but it seems like a reasonable value right now.</p>\n<h2>4. Johnson &amp; Johnson (J&amp;J)</h2>\n<h3>Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio Stats</h3>\n<p>Value: $53.1 million</p>\n<p>Allocation: 0.02%</p>\n<p>Rank: 42/49 securities</p>\n<p>Dividend Yield: 2.5%</p>\n<p>J&amp;J made headlines last week after its COVID-19 vaccine was suspended due to reports of severe blood clots. It's the latest hiccup in the company's vaccine rollout, which was already lagging behind <b>Pfizer</b> and <b>Moderna</b>. However, J&amp;J's success doesn't depend on the vaccine. Far from it. J&amp;J is a massive healthcare behemoth that generates sales from three core segments -- pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer goods. This reach gives it diverse revenue streams unlike AbbVie, which is a pure-play pharmaceutical company. J&amp;J has generated steady results throughout market cycles. So, although the vaccine delays may be giving J&amp;J a headache, it's got Tylenol and a slew of other brand products to back it up.</p>\n<p>J&amp;J is similar to Coca-Cola in that it isn't necessarily cheap, it isn't growing quickly, but it has the size and track record that dividend investors love. Chevron and AbbVie seem better positioned at this time, but it's hard to go wrong with J&amp;J.</p>\n<h2><b>5. Procter &amp; Gamble (P&amp;G)</b></h2>\n<h3>Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio Stats</h3>\n<p>Value: $43.3 million</p>\n<p>Allocation: 0.01%</p>\n<p>Rank: 43/49 securities</p>\n<p>Dividend Yield: 2.3%</p>\n<p>What does P&amp;G have in common with Coke and J&amp;J? All three companies are the largest U.S.-traded stocks by market cap in their respective industries. And all three have raised their dividends for 57 consecutive years. P&amp;G is the quintessential recession-proof stock. Demand for its products is relatively insulated from market cycles. However, P&amp;G is arguably a better consumer staple investment than Coke. Unlike Coke, it was able to grow revenue and earnings in 2020&nbsp;and plans on growing its organic sales further to cap off fiscal year 2021 (FY 2021). P&amp;G is also a cheaper stock, trading at a P/E ratio of 26 compared to Coke's 30. And finally, P&amp;G generates nearly twice the FCF needed to cover its dividend. Given its entrenched position and track record for stable low to mid-single-digit growth, P&amp;G is the safest Dividend Aristocrat on this list and arguably a better buy than Coke or J&amp;J.</p>\n<h2>A final takeaway</h2>\n<p>With the market at an all-time high, dividend stocks that yield over 3%, let alone 2%, are increasingly harder to come by. The average stock in the S&amp;P 500 yields just 1.3%, the lowest level in 10 years.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65e537bf08cd4d6f8d7251c42d963bc0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"536\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>KO Dividend Yield data by YCharts</p>\n<p>Despite growth and valuation concerns, each Dividend Aristocrat that Berkshire owns deserves recognition for yielding over 2%.

What That Means for the Stock.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169827391","media":"Barrons","summary":"Stock in Amazon.com has barely budged since the e-commerce and cloud- computing giant reported stell","content":"<p>Stock in Amazon.com has barely budged since the e-commerce and cloud- computing giant reported stellar fourth-quarter results that were overshadowed by the news that CEO Jeff Bezos will shift into the role of&nbsp; executive chairman, with Amazon Web Services chief Andy Jassy taking over the top slot.</p>\n<p>The combination of that pending change, along with uncertainty over how the reopening of the economy will affect shopping behavior, has some investors a little uneasy about the stock’s near-term prospects.</p>\n<p>They will get a fresh look at the situation after the close of trading on Thursday, when Amazon (ticker: AMZN) posts its results for the March quarter. Amazon has told investors to expect revenue of $100 billion to $106 billion, with operating income of between $3 billion and $6.5 billion, and about $2 billion in costs related to Covid-19. The Wall Street consensus calls for revenue of $104.5 billion, with profits of $9.54 a share.</p>\n<p>The Street also clearly expects the quarter’s results to show continued strength in e-commerce. According to FactSet, Wall Street analysts expect online-stores revenue of $51.5 billion, up 41% from a year ago, with third-party sales of $21.7 billion, up 50%. Subscription revenues are expected to be $7.3 billion, up 32%, while revenue from physical stores is expected to be $4.3 billion, down 8%. AWS revenues are projected at $13.2 billion, up 29%.</p>\n<p>One open question is what forecasts the company will make for the June quarter as parts of the country begin to return to more normal economic activity. The Street is projecting June quarter revenue of $108.7 billion and profits of $10.81 a share.</p>\n<p>In an earnings preview note, Truist analyst Youssef Squali&nbsp;reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and a target of $3,750 for the share price. The stock closed Tuesday at $3,417.43, up 4.9% year to date.</p>\n<p>He expects revenue to come in at the high end of the range Amazon predicted, saying e-commerce demand has remained strong both in the U.S. and internationally, given that the pandemic has been slow to subside. Conversations with people in the industry and strong earning disclosed last week by Snap bode well for Amazon’s ad business, which is lumped into a category called “other,” he wrote.

Amazon has told investors to expect revenue of $100 billion to $106 billion, with operating income of between $3 billion and $6.5 billion, and about $2 billion in costs related to Covid-19. The Wall Street consensus calls for revenue of $104.5 billion, with profits of $9.54 a share.\nThe Street also clearly expects the quarter’s results to show continued strength in e-commerce. According to FactSet, Wall Street analysts expect online-stores revenue of $51.5 billion, up 41% from a year ago, with third-party sales of $21.7 billion, up 50%. Subscription revenues are expected to be $7.3 billion, up 32%, while revenue from physical stores is expected to be $4.3 billion, down 8%. AWS revenues are projected at $13.2 billion, up 29%.\nOne open question is what forecasts the company will make for the June quarter as parts of the country begin to return to more normal economic activity. The Street is projecting June quarter revenue of $108.7 billion and profits of $10.81 a share.\nIn an earnings preview note, Truist analyst Youssef Squali reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and a target of $3,750 for the share price. The stock closed Tuesday at $3,417.43, up 4.9% year to date.\nHe expects revenue to come in at the high end of the range Amazon predicted, saying e-commerce demand has remained strong both in the U.S. and internationally, given that the pandemic has been slow to subside. Conversations with people in the industry and strong earning disclosed last week by Snap bode well for Amazon’s ad business, which is lumped into a category called “other,” he wrote. He also thinks the market continues to underestimate the long-term growth potential of the dominance of the company’s two key businesses—e-commerce and AWS—as well as the company’s “emerging leadership in online advertising.”\nStifel analyst Scott Devitt is similarly bullish, repeating a Buy rating and $4,000 target price. He sees 40% top-line growth, a little ahead of the Street consensus. “The focus on the report will largely center on the outlook as Amazon laps the difficult prior year compares from the onset of the pandemic,” he wrote in a research note.\n“Growth in a post-Covid environment remains largely uncertain for Amazon and across the e-commerce landscape,” Devitt said. “Our [June quarter] revenue estimates are ahead of consensus as we see tailwinds stemming from strong growth in new Prime members and diversification across geographies and categories supporting the retail business as economies recover.” He also said AWS and the ad business are well positioned for a recovery.\nWedbush analyst Michael Pachter likewise maintained an Outperform rating and $4,000 target.

Heng, who's 60 this year, had cited his age as an obstacle in steering the country in a post-pandemic world.Heng will relinquish his role as finance minister, but remains the country's deputy prime minister and coordinating minister for economic policies.In addition to Wong, analysts identified three other potential candidates for prime minister:Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing, 51, who will become education minister in the new cabinet.Minister for Transport Ong Ye Kung, 51, who will become health minister.Desmond Lee, 44, who will remain as minister for national development.The ruling People’s Action Party has governed Singapore since the country’s independence in 1965. The party suffered one of itsworst electoral showingslast year, winning 83 out of 93 parliamentary seats and 61% of the votes.Lee, the current prime minister, had previously said he was ready to retireby the time he turns 70. However, he later indicated he would delay his handover to see Singapore through the Covid-19 crisis.Lee is 69 this year.After Heng’s surprise announcement, Lee said he would stay on as prime minister until a new successor emerges and is ready to take over.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":91,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379269061,"gmtCreate":1618747211153,"gmtModify":1704714544265,"author":{"id":"3578802070336057","authorId":"3578802070336057","authorIdStr":"3578802070336057","name":"DasTrader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0e1e0e63b10ad89b2a20f8cab20533","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578802070336057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amazing","listText":"Amazing","text":"Amazing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379269061","repostId":"1156411249","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156411249","pubTimestamp":1618562497,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156411249?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 16:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Einhorn: \"The Market Is Fractured And In The Process Of Breaking Completely\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156411249","media":"zerohedge","summary":"In many ways, David Einhorn's Greenlight appears to be back to its \"new normal\" - in a letter sent t","content":"<p>In many ways, David Einhorn's Greenlight appears to be back to its \"new normal\" - in a letter sent to investors, Einhorn writes that Greenlight again underperformed the market and returned -0.1% in the first quarter, badly underperforming the 6.2% return for the S&amp;P 500 index, before proceeding to bash the Fed, broken markets, Chamath and Elon, the basket of short stocks and much more.</p><p>That said, even though as Einhorn writes Greenlight made only a handful of portfolio changes and essentially broke even, \"a lot happened. In general, the investment environment – especially from mid-February through the end of the quarter – was favorable as value outperformed growth, and interest rates and inflation expectations rose.\"</p><p>He then asks if the tide has<i><b>finally</b></i>turned from Growth to Value, noting that \"after a very tough decade, we have only just begun a recovery as shown in this 45-year chart from Goldman Sachs research:\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5db342a0e7b68b8405ce6d4041b71a0\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"339\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Part of the shift from growth to value, Einhorn writes, may be coming from higher inflation and inflation expectations. As measured by the inflation swap market, 10-year inflation expectations fell from 2.9% in September 2012 to 0.8% in March 2020. The only significant intervening bounce came in 2016, when expectations jumped from 1.5% to 2.3% on expectations of a major stimulus deal from the Trump admin (which never materialized). It is hardly a coincidence that that was the only year in the last decade in which value outperformed growth, as the Greenlight head notes. Fast forward to now, when after bottoming in March 2020, inflation expectations have recovered to 2.5%. The trend became clearer in the middle of May, and value started outperforming growth then, and especially since the middle of February. Indeed, aince May 15, the value-heavy Greenlight returned 80% of the S&amp;P 500 index with half the net exposure.</p><p>Einhorn is even more optimistic about the future when it comes to the \"growth to value\" rotation:</p><blockquote><i>When the time comes, we will have to figure out how to perform better in deflationary periods. But for now, we believe inflation is only going one way – higher – and we are optimistic about our prospects. The wind is now at our backs. The economy is in full recovery mode. Household balance sheets are stronger than they have been in a long time and household income growth was up 13% in February compared to last year. And this is before the latest $1.9 trillion – with a “T” – pandemic relief stimulus. Corporate capital spending is booming. There are shortages and bottlenecks everywhere. Last month nearly one million jobs returned. There are signs of an emerging labor shortage.</i></blockquote><p>As for the Fed, the Greenlight boss writes that \"it fundamentally changed its framework last August. It no longer seems to care that monetary policy works with a lag. Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protect<s>the stock market and corporate bondholders</s>the economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"</p><p>The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:</p><blockquote><i>... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know?</i> <i><b>Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”?</b></i> <i>Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.</i></blockquote><p>It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:</p><blockquote><i>The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.</i></blockquote><p>To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"</p><p>Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in<i>15 minutes</i>), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. That<b>is a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.</b>\"</p><p>The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:</p><ul><li><b>Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)</b>benefitted from rising interest rates;</li><li><b>Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)</b>began its life as a public company;</li><li><b>Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)</b>benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;</li><li><b>Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)</b>was helped by the strong housing market;</li><li><b>Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)</b>agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;</li><li><b>AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)</b>agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; and</li><li><b>An undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)</b>fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.</li></ul><p><i>(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).</i></p><p>Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.</p><p>What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:</p><blockquote><i>In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts.

In general, the investment environment – especially from mid-February through the end of the quarter – was favorable as value outperformed growth, and interest rates and inflation expectations rose.\"He then asks if the tide hasfinallyturned from Growth to Value, noting that \"after a very tough decade, we have only just begun a recovery as shown in this 45-year chart from Goldman Sachs research:\"Part of the shift from growth to value, Einhorn writes, may be coming from higher inflation and inflation expectations. As measured by the inflation swap market, 10-year inflation expectations fell from 2.9% in September 2012 to 0.8% in March 2020. The only significant intervening bounce came in 2016, when expectations jumped from 1.5% to 2.3% on expectations of a major stimulus deal from the Trump admin (which never materialized). It is hardly a coincidence that that was the only year in the last decade in which value outperformed growth, as the Greenlight head notes. Fast forward to now, when after bottoming in March 2020, inflation expectations have recovered to 2.5%. The trend became clearer in the middle of May, and value started outperforming growth then, and especially since the middle of February. Indeed, aince May 15, the value-heavy Greenlight returned 80% of the S&P 500 index with half the net exposure.Einhorn is even more optimistic about the future when it comes to the \"growth to value\" rotation:When the time comes, we will have to figure out how to perform better in deflationary periods. But for now, we believe inflation is only going one way – higher – and we are optimistic about our prospects. The wind is now at our backs. The economy is in full recovery mode. Household balance sheets are stronger than they have been in a long time and household income growth was up 13% in February compared to last year. And this is before the latest $1.9 trillion – with a “T” – pandemic relief stimulus. Corporate capital spending is booming. There are shortages and bottlenecks everywhere. Last month nearly one million jobs returned. There are signs of an emerging labor shortage.As for the Fed, the Greenlight boss writes that \"it fundamentally changed its framework last August. It no longer seems to care that monetary policy works with a lag. Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protectthe stock market and corporate bondholdersthe economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know? Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”? Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in15 minutes), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. Thatis a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.\"The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)benefitted from rising interest rates;Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)began its life as a public company;Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)was helped by the strong housing market;Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; andAn undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts. While we do not expect this to be a permanent change, we will evaluate and modify as we go. The performance of our short portfolio in 2020 and in early 2021 was unacceptable, so change is certainly needed. If we swing a little less hard, we should hit more balls. We have also revised our internal analyst incentive structure to fully emphasize alpha creation.Much has been made of the short-squeezes in late January. In fact, Congress held hearings, where it called the leaders of Robinhood, Melvin Capital and Citadel and an individual investor who made a great call on GameStop (GME) to testify. We have a few thoughts about this to share. First, it is very healthy for market participants to discuss and debate stocks. This is true both privately and publicly. There are rules about fraud and manipulation that need to be followed, but investors discussing why they think GME (or any other stock) should go up or down ought to be encouraged. There is no reason to drag anyone before Congress for making a stock pick. Second, it is also fine to make bad stock picks. If a hedge fund takes a big position in a stock and is wrong, it loses money. Isn’t this how it is supposed to work? Third, payment for order flow is just disguised commissions. We are in a world where consumers, especially young ones, expect internet services to be free, or at least free to them. A quote widely attributed to Richard Serra about commercial TV in 1973 says it best: “You’re not the customer; you’re the product.” If you want the broker to work for you, pay a commission. Fourth, Robinhood suspended trading in certain stocks because it was undercapitalized. It is possible that it wasn’t following the regulatory requirements. A regulatory sanction is probably appropriate – but as we’ll discuss below, we won’t be holding our breath.The punchline:Einhorn slamming Chamath and Elon for pouring the \"real jet fuel\" on the GME squeeze:Finally, we note that the real jet fuel on the GME squeeze came from Chamath Palihapitiya and Elon Musk, whose appearances on TV and Twitter, respectively, at a critical moment further destabilized the situation. Mr. Palihapitiya controls SoFi, which competes with Robinhood, and left us with the impression that by destabilizing GME he could harm a competitor. As for Mr. Musk, we are going to defend him, half-heartedly. If regulators wanted Elon Musk to stop manipulating stocks, they should have done so with more than a light slap on the wrist when they accused him of manipulating Tesla’s shares in 2018. The laws don’t apply to him and he can do whatever he wants. Many who would never support defunding the police have supported – and for all intents and purposes have succeeded – in almost completely defanging, if not defunding, the regulators. For the most part, quasi-anarchy appears to rule in markets. Sure, Dr. Michael Burry, famed for his role in The Big Short, reportedly received a visit from the SEC after tweeting warnings about recent market trends – and decided to stop publicly speaking truth to power. But for the most part, there is no cop on the beat. It’s as if there are no financial fraud prosecutors; companies and managements that are emboldened enough to engage in malfeasance have little to fear.Einhorn then concludes with three anecdotes to demonstrate his argument that this is not only an \"anything goes\" market where crime is rampant, but proving just how broken the market has become.First, consider the investigation of Tether by the Office of the Attorney General of New York (OAG). As Einhorn explains, \"tether is a cryptocurrency that is always worth a dollar (the value is “tethered” to the dollar). Tether is one of the largest cryptocurrencies with about $40 billion outstanding, yet it has not been audited or regulated in any serious manner. In theory, Tether is supposed to have $1 of cash backing every Tether issued. Except it didn’t, at least when it was investigated.\" Incidentally, for anyone still confused, Tether is how theChinese launder billions in domestic funds abroad and outside the Chinese firewallas we explained in December, although so far few have the desire to expose this reality. In any case, here is Einhorn's lament:The OAG conducted a two-year probe and found that Tether deceived clients and the market by overstating reserves and hiding approximately $850 million of losses around the globe. Tether and its sponsor, Bitfinex, “recklessly and unlawfully covered up massive financial losses to keep their scheme going and protect their bottom lines,” said the OAG. Further, “Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.”Did the OAG shut down Tether? Did anyone get arrested or even lose their job? Was the regulatory infrastructure changed to make sure this doesn’t happen again? No, of course not. The OAG assessed an $18.5 million penalty and Tether agreed to discontinue “any trading activity with New Yorkers.” It was as if Bernie Madoff had been told to pay a small fine and stop ripping off New Yorkers, but to go ahead and have fun with the Palm Beach crowd.Einhorn next highlights one of the stocks most hated by the bearish community: GSX:The media is focused on how the banks allowed excessive leverage and poorly (or properly) managed their risks. The real story is how Arch-Egos was able to buy up most of the float of GSX Techedu, causing the stock to soar 400% in the face of unrefuted allegations of massive fraud.The SEC has an ongoing investigation of GSX but appears to not have noticed a single fund (or a small group of funds) essentially cornering the market. A traditionalist could say this was market manipulation and transparently illegal.The professional poker player finally points out some of the insane moves observed in pennystocks in Q1, focusing on a tiny deli owner in rural NJ:Strange things happen to all kinds of stocks. Last year, on one day in June, the stocks of about a dozen bankrupt companies roughly doubled on enormous volume. Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported a boom in penny stocks.Someone pointed us to Hometown International (HWIN), which owns a single deli in rural New Jersey. The deli had $21,772 in sales in 2019 and only $13,976 in 2020, as it was closed due to COVID from March to September. HWIN reached a market cap of $113 million on February 8. The largest shareholder is also the CEO/CFO/Treasurer and a Director, who also happens to be the wrestling coach of the high school next door to the deli. The pastrami must be amazing. Small investors who get sucked into these situations are likely to be harmed eventually, yet the regulators – who are supposed to be protecting investors – appear to be neither present nor curious.We don't find it at all surprising that Einhorn's conclusion from his capital markets observations over the past quarter isidenticalto ours, when we discussed the insane stock moves that dominated much of January and February:\"From a traditional perspective, the market is fractured and possibly in the process of breaking completely.\"Einhorn's full letter is below:","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3574980150965538","authorId":"3574980150965538","authorIdStr":"3574980150965538","name":"真的钻石手","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/394063a289e727c8c5c2734207c9aabd","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3574980150965538"},"content":"Like this Reply thanks","text":"Like this Reply thanks","html":"Like this Reply thanks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
