It has the largest market cap of any U.S. company, and it even counts Warren Buffett as one of its biggest fans.</p><p>However, while Apple may have an admirable track record, that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean its future is equally bright. Is Apple stock a buy today?

The iPhone is arguably one of the most significant consumer products in the world (as measured by dollars spent). Notable products like the iPod, the iMac, and more preceded the legendary smartphone. Since the iPhone, Apple&#39;s produced sought-after devices like the iPad, Apple Watch, Airpods, and more. Most importantly, millions of people pay premium prices for each of the aforementioned, leaving excellent profit margins for Apple and its shareholders.</p><p>Between 2013 and 2022, Apple&#39;s annual sales soared from $171 billion to $394 billion. Considering the diverse and large markets in which Apple sells products, it is not likely to hit the ceiling on sales anytime soon despite its already massive scale. The pricing power that Apple earned over decades of improving the customer experience allowed it to average an operating profit margin of 28.3% in that time.</p><p>Admittedly, these are all backward-looking figures, but Apple&#39;s highly connected ecosystem makes it less likely for customers to switch to a competitor&#39;s product. In other words, many of yesterday&#39;s customers will likely stick with Apple longer-term.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4840b837074a86f7ea8f6ae8b5f1350a\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>AAPL data by YCharts</span></p><p>The bear market in 2022 brought Apple&#39;s stock down meaningfully. Today&#39;s investors can buy Apple stock at a price-to-earnings and price-to-free cash flow of 21.7 and 19.4, respectively. This is a relatively fair price to pay for an excellent business. Investors will do well in building wealth if they can buy great companies at reasonable prices.</p><h2>What have you done for me lately?</h2><p><b>Jeremy Bowman (Bear case):</b> It&#39;s hard to question Apple&#39;s bona fides, as the company is one of the biggest in the world, and generates huge margins.

It has the largest market cap of any U.S. company, and it even counts Warren Buffett as one of its biggest fans.However, while Apple may have an admirable track record, that doesn't necessarily mean its future is equally bright. Is Apple stock a buy today? Keep reading as two Motley Fool contributors discuss the bull and bear cases for the tech giant.Image source: Apple.The numbers speak for themselvesParkev Tatevosian (Bull case): My bull case for Apple starts with its demonstrated ability to repeatedly create innovative tech hardware that consumers willingly pay premium prices to buy. The iPhone is arguably one of the most significant consumer products in the world (as measured by dollars spent). Notable products like the iPod, the iMac, and more preceded the legendary smartphone. Since the iPhone, Apple's produced sought-after devices like the iPad, Apple Watch, Airpods, and more. Most importantly, millions of people pay premium prices for each of the aforementioned, leaving excellent profit margins for Apple and its shareholders.Between 2013 and 2022, Apple's annual sales soared from $171 billion to $394 billion. Considering the diverse and large markets in which Apple sells products, it is not likely to hit the ceiling on sales anytime soon despite its already massive scale. The pricing power that Apple earned over decades of improving the customer experience allowed it to average an operating profit margin of 28.3% in that time.Admittedly, these are all backward-looking figures, but Apple's highly connected ecosystem makes it less likely for customers to switch to a competitor's product. In other words, many of yesterday's customers will likely stick with Apple longer-term.AAPL data by YChartsThe bear market in 2022 brought Apple's stock down meaningfully. Today's investors can buy Apple stock at a price-to-earnings and price-to-free cash flow of 21.7 and 19.4, respectively. This is a relatively fair price to pay for an excellent business. Investors will do well in building wealth if they can buy great companies at reasonable prices.What have you done for me lately?Jeremy Bowman (Bear case): It's hard to question Apple's bona fides, as the company is one of the biggest in the world, and generates huge margins. But stocks are generally valued based on future cash flows, and Apple's may not be as strong as the market seems to think.In Apple's most recent quarter, revenue was up 8%, and earnings per share grew just 4%. According to Wall Street, this is not the growth stock that some might like to think it is.

In fiscal 2024, it only expects top and bottom line growth to improve slightly.Apple has built a dominant consumer franchise, but there are also real risks to the company as rivals push forward with the next computing platform. Meta Platforms, for example, will spend close to $20 billion next year to make its visions of the metaverse a reality, and other companies like Nvidia and Microsoft are pushing past the mobile computing era as well.Apple still gets more than half of its revenue from the iPhone, which it first introduced 15 years ago. And while the company has had success in raising prices on its trademark smartphone, it's bound to reach a limit in what people are willing to pay, especially with a global recession potentially around the corner.

After an unrelenting rise over the past decade to a trillion-dollar market cap, the stock is down 55% this year and now sports a market cap of less than $500 billion. The current bear market, antics from CEO Elon Musk, and worries about a global recession have likely contributed to this decline.</p><p>If you&#39;re reading this, your instinct might be to &#34;buy the dip&#34; on Tesla shares. But that instinct could be a mistake given the stock&#39;s current valuation. Here&#39;s why investors should avoid buying Tesla in 2023.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s strong historical growth</h2><p>Nobody can deny that Tesla has put up some fantastic growth numbers in the past few years. In 2020, the company went from generating consistent net losses to solid annual profits. Over the last 12 months, the business has generated a net income of $11.2 billion. This happened because the automotive manufacturer rapidly scaled up its production and deliveries, leading to operating leverage over its fixed cost base. For reference, in the third quarter of this year, Tesla delivered 344,000 cars to customers, which is up 250% from the 97,000 deliveries it made in Q3 2019.</p><p>With a huge opportunity to tackle the global transition to electric vehicles (EVs), many Tesla investors think this delivery and profit growth will continue over the next few years. But I think there are multiple reasons why things may materialize differently for the EV leader.</p><h2>Problems: Commodity costs, competition, management</h2><p>On top of scaling up its manufacturing, Tesla has benefited from low commodity costs for its key supplies and pricing power for its vehicles, which both led to higher margins. The problem is, these benefits are now reversing. In China -- one of Tesla&#39;s largest markets -- the company recently lowered prices on some of its vehicles by 10%. With dozens of competitors planning to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into the EV market this decade, pricing pressure is highly likely to continue. That will hurt Tesla&#39;s profit margins in the future if it is forced to lower its selling prices.</p><p>On supplies, Tesla is going to face cost pressures from rising commodity prices. Metals like lithium and cobalt have gone up in price over the last year, an issue that will likely only get worse as so many companies start to invest in EV battery production. Commodity price increases haven&#39;t shown up on Tesla&#39;s financial statements yet, but should over the next few years as it signs new agreements with suppliers.</p><p>If margins deteriorate, this could quickly erode Tesla&#39;s net income growth, even if its overall revenue continues to march higher. For example, let&#39;s say that Tesla is able to generate $100 billion in revenue next year, which would be 33% higher than its trailing 12-month numbers. At its current net margin of 15%, that would equate to $15 billion in net income. But if margins were to decline to 8% due to lower selling prices and high commodity inputs, the company&#39;s net income will <i>decline</i> to $8 billion next year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0675ae409f24e956fe81fdcad4eab87d\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA Net Income (TTM) data by YCharts</span></p><p>There are also issues concerning Tesla&#39;s eccentric CEO Elon Musk, who just purchased Twitter in a $44 billion acquisition. We don&#39;t need to go through all the details of that deal here, but suffice it to say Musk may not have his energy focused on Tesla at the moment. I don&#39;t believe it&#39;s a good thing for a fast-moving company to have its leader working on turning around another business.</p><h2>The valuation is not attractive</h2><p>There are many looming issues at Tesla that should keep investors nervous, but the key reason to avoid the stock is its expensive valuation, especially compared to its automotive peers. At its current price, the stock has a trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) hovering just below 50. Given the fierce competition in the automotive market, huge capital needs, and volatile commodity prices, automotive companies are trading at P/Es of around 10. For reference, the global automotive leader <b>Toyota</b> currently trades at a P/E just below 10.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/defdc85361716224098b385f24fff429\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA PE Ratio data by YCharts</span></p><p>This means that if you are buying shares of Tesla today, a 5x increase in earnings is <i>already likely priced into the stock</i>. And remember, this is with the potential for margin deterioration over the next few years due to the reasons outlined in the above section.</p><p>It isn&#39;t guaranteed that Tesla won&#39;t outperform these expectations, but I think there are less risky bets for investors to make today, especially in the current bear market. Avoiding shares of Tesla and putting your money in safer investments looks like the smart thing to do in 2023.</p></body></html>","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>Why Investors Should Avoid Tesla Stock In 2023</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\">\nWhy Investors Should Avoid Tesla Stock In 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-21 21:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/21/why-investors-should-avoid-tesla-stock-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSTesla is one of the worst-performing stocks of 2022.The company is going to face margin pressure from multiple angles in 2023 and beyond.The stock is still much more expensive than its ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/21/why-investors-should-avoid-tesla-stock-in-2023/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4211":"区域性银行"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/21/why-investors-should-avoid-tesla-stock-in-2023/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2293531190","content_text":"KEY POINTSTesla is one of the worst-performing stocks of 2022.The company is going to face margin pressure from multiple angles in 2023 and beyond.The stock is still much more expensive than its automotive peers.Tesla is one of the worst-performing stocks of 2022.

With dozens of competitors planning to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into the EV market this decade, pricing pressure is highly likely to continue. That will hurt Tesla's profit margins in the future if it is forced to lower its selling prices.On supplies, Tesla is going to face cost pressures from rising commodity prices. Metals like lithium and cobalt have gone up in price over the last year, an issue that will likely only get worse as so many companies start to invest in EV battery production. Commodity price increases haven't shown up on Tesla's financial statements yet, but should over the next few years as it signs new agreements with suppliers.If margins deteriorate, this could quickly erode Tesla's net income growth, even if its overall revenue continues to march higher. For example, let's say that Tesla is able to generate $100 billion in revenue next year, which would be 33% higher than its trailing 12-month numbers. At its current net margin of 15%, that would equate to $15 billion in net income. But if margins were to decline to 8% due to lower selling prices and high commodity inputs, the company's net income will decline to $8 billion next year.TSLA Net Income (TTM) data by YChartsThere are also issues concerning Tesla's eccentric CEO Elon Musk, who just purchased Twitter in a $44 billion acquisition. We don't need to go through all the details of that deal here, but suffice it to say Musk may not have his energy focused on Tesla at the moment. I don't believe it's a good thing for a fast-moving company to have its leader working on turning around another business.The valuation is not attractiveThere are many looming issues at Tesla that should keep investors nervous, but the key reason to avoid the stock is its expensive valuation, especially compared to its automotive peers. At its current price, the stock has a trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) hovering just below 50. Given the fierce competition in the automotive market, huge capital needs, and volatile commodity prices, automotive companies are trading at P/Es of around 10. For reference, the global automotive leader Toyota currently trades at a P/E just below 10.TSLA PE Ratio data by YChartsThis means that if you are buying shares of Tesla today, a 5x increase in earnings is already likely priced into the stock. And remember, this is with the potential for margin deterioration over the next few years due to the reasons outlined in the above section.It isn't guaranteed that Tesla won't outperform these expectations, but I think there are less risky bets for investors to make today, especially in the current bear market. Avoiding shares of Tesla and putting your money in safer investments looks like the smart thing to do in 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9926254884,"gmtCreate":1671574766348,"gmtModify":1676538557062,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579315453167562","authorIdStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9926254884","repostId":"1119521514","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119521514","pubTimestamp":1671546168,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119521514?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-20 22:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why the Bank of Japan’s Surprise Policy Twist Is Rattling Global Markets","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119521514","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Anchors aweigh?The Bank of Japan sent shock waves through global financial markets Tuesday, effectiv","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Anchors aweigh?</p><p>The Bank of Japan sent shock waves through global financial markets Tuesday, effectively loosening a cap on 10-year government bond yields in a surprise move seen as potentially pointing the way to a broader tightening by the last major global central bank to maintain an ultraloose monetary policy.</p><p>Analysts and economists debated the significance of the move.

This can be both bad for momentum in the short term and good for bargain hunting in the long run.</li></ul><h3>Federal Reserve: Not Ready To Let Up</h3><p>On December 14, the US Central Bank increased the federal funds rate yet again. What was different this time is that the hike was smaller than in the past few Fed meetings: 50 instead of 75 basis points.</p><p>Without any context, a deceleration in the interest rate increase could be seen as good news. This is particularly true because CPI (inflation to the consumer) has finally shown signs of cooling off: from a multi-decade record of 9.1% in June to 7.1% in November (see below).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/03a5a5f64b3021c05d83b9f2813627b4\" tg-width=\"723\" tg-height=\"541\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>12-month percentage change, CPI, selected categories, not seasonally.</p><p>But of course, market participants looked under the hood. And what they saw was hawkishness from Fed chairman Jerome Powell, who said the following:</p><p>“We need to be honest with ourselves that there&#39;s inflation. Twelve-month core inflation is 6% CPI. That&#39;s three times our 2% target. Now, it&#39;s good to see progress, but let&#39;s just understand we have a long ways to go to get back to price stability.”</p><p>The so-called Fed dot plot also looked much more hawkish than dovish. Simply put: on average, the Federal Reserve’s 19 policymakers now believe that interest rates will rise to as much as 5.1% next year compared to September’s estimate of 4.6% (see below).</p><p>Some of the most hawkish FOMC participants even see rates staying above 4% as far out as 2025. Worth noting, tight monetary policy is not only about how much or how fast interest rates rise, but also about how long they stay high.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a3f5942c95cf720ef8fe4c11cd3d56c\" tg-width=\"543\" tg-height=\"513\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>FOMC participants&#39; assortments of appropriate monetary policy.</p><p>Apple Stock Down Following Fed Decision</p><p>On the day prior to the Fed’s monetary policy decision, Apple stock was trading at $145 apiece. As I mentioned recently, shares have been rangebound between $140 and $150 for about two or three months.</p><p>But as I write this sentence, AAPL has slid as far down as $136 – a 6% loss in as few as a day and a half.

This can be both bad for momentum in the short term and good for bargain hunting in the long run.Federal Reserve: Not Ready To Let UpOn December 14, the US Central Bank increased the federal funds rate yet again. What was different this time is that the hike was smaller than in the past few Fed meetings: 50 instead of 75 basis points.Without any context, a deceleration in the interest rate increase could be seen as good news. This is particularly true because CPI (inflation to the consumer) has finally shown signs of cooling off: from a multi-decade record of 9.1% in June to 7.1% in November (see below).12-month percentage change, CPI, selected categories, not seasonally.But of course, market participants looked under the hood. And what they saw was hawkishness from Fed chairman Jerome Powell, who said the following:“We need to be honest with ourselves that there's inflation. Twelve-month core inflation is 6% CPI. That's three times our 2% target. Now, it's good to see progress, but let's just understand we have a long ways to go to get back to price stability.”The so-called Fed dot plot also looked much more hawkish than dovish. Simply put: on average, the Federal Reserve’s 19 policymakers now believe that interest rates will rise to as much as 5.1% next year compared to September’s estimate of 4.6% (see below).Some of the most hawkish FOMC participants even see rates staying above 4% as far out as 2025. Worth noting, tight monetary policy is not only about how much or how fast interest rates rise, but also about how long they stay high.FOMC participants' assortments of appropriate monetary policy.Apple Stock Down Following Fed DecisionOn the day prior to the Fed’s monetary policy decision, Apple stock was trading at $145 apiece. As I mentioned recently, shares have been rangebound between $140 and $150 for about two or three months.But as I write this sentence, AAPL has slid as far down as $136 – a 6% loss in as few as a day and a half. At these levels, Apple stock is approaching the June lows of the year, and remains firmly in bear market territory: down 24% YTD.Should AAPL Investors Worry?In my view, the main events of the week (not to mention company-specific news regarding the iPhone and the App Store) all point in the direction of share price weakness for AAPL in the short term.

Thus, Amazon&#39;s international revenue rose 12%, excluding exchange fluctuations.</p><p>The bright spot of Amazon&#39;s year amid an economic downturn has, no doubt, been its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

By contrast, iPhone revenue increased by 7% during the year.</p><p>Regarding key metrics for Amazon and Apple, Amazon&#39;s price-to-earnings ratio is at 84, rising 27% in the last year. Meanwhile, Apple&#39;s is about 23 after declining 24% since last December.</p><p>In terms of free cash flow, Amazon&#39;s stood at a negative 26.3 billion as of Sept. 30, while Apple&#39;s came in at $111.44 billion.</p><p>Amazon continues to have an excellent outlook over the long term.

The legislation set a three-year timeframe for the delisting companies.In a separate statement, SEC Chair Gary Gensler lauded the announcement. “This marks the first time that Chinese authorities allowed access for complete inspections and investigations meeting US standards,” he said in a statement, adding that inspectors must continue to be able to review the papers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9921292663,"gmtCreate":1671063881552,"gmtModify":1676538483222,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579315453167562","authorIdStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9921292663","repostId":"2291844850","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2291844850","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":1671058684,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2291844850?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-15 06:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Ends Lower After Latest Fed Rate Hike","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2291844850","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Fed raises interest rates by 50 basis points* Summary of economic projections sees higher policy r","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Fed raises interest rates by 50 basis points</p><p>* Summary of economic projections sees higher policy rate</p><p>* Tesla falls after Goldman cuts price target</p><p>* Dow down 0.42%, S&amp;P 500 down 0.61%, Nasdaq down 0.76%</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/605a67e74e73b0af686fc3093f27837c\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"1920\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>NEW YORK, Dec 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed lower in volatile trading on Wednesday following a policy announcement by the Federal Reserve that raised interest rates by an expected 50 basis points, but its economic projections see higher rates for a longer period.</p><p>The central bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday and projected at least an additional 75 basis points of increases in borrowing costs by the end of 2023, as well as a rise in unemployment and a near-stalling of economic growth.</p><p>The Fed&#39;s latest quarterly summary of economic projections shows U.S. central bankers see the policy rate - now in the 4.25%-to-4.5% range - at 5.1% by the end of next year, according to the median estimate of all 19 Fed policymakers, up from the 4.6% view at the end of September.</p><p>In comments after the statement, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said it was too soon to talk about cutting rates as the focus is on making the central bank&#39;s policy stance restrictive enough to push inflation down to its 2% goal.</p><p>Economic data on Tuesday, which showed cooling consumer inflation for November, had heightened expectations a move by the Fed to halt rate hikes might be on the horizon next year.</p><p>“They may be using these sort of very aggressive dot plot forecasts to take any steam out of the easing that has gone on in the last couple of months,&#34; said Rhys Williams, chief strategist at Spouting Rock Asset Management in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, said of Feb policymakers.</p><p>&#34;Conditions have eased, and that is their way of jawboning they are not going to let any easing really happen until they see unemployment go up.&#34;</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 142.29 points, or 0.42%, to 33,966.35, the S&amp;P 500 lost 24.33 points, or 0.61%, to 3,995.32 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 85.93 points, or 0.76%, to 11,170.89.</p><p>Nearly all of the 11 major S&amp;P sectors ended the session in negative territory, with healthcare the sole advancer.

After a horrible few months forTeslaTSLA3.23%increase; green up pointing triangleshareholders, the question is just how far the comparison goes.</p><p>Tesla shares have roughly halved this year, worse than most of the EV maker’s big peers in both the auto and tech industries. Much of the underperformance has come in the past three months, amid two broad concerns. One is that demand for its products is no longer racing ahead of increasing supply,particularly in China. The other relates to risks surrounding Chief Executive Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, which came together in October.</p><p>The past week has been particularly bad for demand worries. Following earlier news that the company has been cutting prices and offering sales incentives in China, Bloomberg and Reuters reported that it was planning to trim production at its Shanghai factory. Tesla denied the reports, but Bloomberg followed up with details of shorter production shifts.</p><p>Lower output isn’t completely surprising given that EV sales in China have been on a hot streak ahead of the expiration of some government subsidies, potentially leading to a hangover next year. Still, the news plays into fears that Tesla’s prospects in the world’s largest car market aren’t quite as spectacular as hoped.</p><p>Meanwhile, Mr. Musk’s chaotic turnaround of Twitter can be seen variously as a management distraction, a financial liability that needs to be funded by sales of Tesla shares or loans to Mr. Musk backed by those shares, apolitical hot potatothat doesn’t sit well with a global mass-market car brand, and generally a high-risk, high-profile enterprise that could take the shine off Mr. Musk’s reputation and by extension Tesla’s brand.</p><p>These risks are hard to relate directly to profit, but so is Tesla’s valuation: The stock hasalways been hard to explainin terms of so-called fundamentals. This year’s selloff has made it easier, though.</p><p>Tesla shares now trade at about 32 times next year’sFactSetconsensus earnings—higher than most stocks but close to the lowest number in their history. Also, earnings per share are expected to grow rapidly, by 41% next year. Compare the earnings multiple with the earnings growth and you get a so-called price-earnings-growth or PEG ratio below one, often a signal that a stock is undervalued. This may be the first time Tesla shares have ever screened as cheap according to a conventional valuation metric.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac4dc71f1a460e6f9f10abd665d5e04e\" tg-width=\"738\" tg-height=\"510\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The catch is that earnings growth needs to remain very rapid for the metric to hold much meaning. The big valuation question for Tesla investors is therefore how easily it can carry on ramping up output while maintaining the current high level of profitability. The only reasonable answer is: not at all easily. Crucially for bulls, though, the dream scenario is just about imaginable if you look at the company from the mobile-phone industry’s perspective.</p><p>IfEVs are like smartphones, Tesla can be seen as the nextApple. In the years after the iPhone’s invention, investors gave the product’s inventor a low valuation because they assumed its profit would fall in line with those of other device makers. As it turned out, the iPhone could be parlayed into an entire ecosystem, including subscriptions and other high-margin software, that has kept Apple’s profit for the most part growing.</p><p>Tesla teases the parallel with its guidance that, “over time,” profit from selling cars will be accompanied with “an acceleration of software-related profit.” The big hope here is driver-assistance software, with the company already charging $15,000 for its most advanced package.</p><p>The Apple comparison, which Mr. Musk made directly in Tesla’sthird-quarter earnings call, has enough substance to keep plenty of Tesla fans onside. But it ignores important differences. Perhaps the most fundamental one is that choosing a car brand has long been a form of personal expression, leading to a variety of brands and vehicle types. Will that change as cars go digital, with individual app and software preferences replacing differences in brand and styling? Maybe, but it is a bet against a century of automotive history.</p><p>More likely, Tesla’s ambition to increase vehicle deliveries consistently by 50% a year will dilute its margins. Today, these are high because it makes few models on a large scale and sells them for premium prices, helped by the shortage of vehicles in general and EVs in particular. Neither shortage will last forever, and Tesla’s own growth will undercut the combination of exclusivity and operational simplicity that support its current financial performance.</p><p>As for software, Tesla continues to struggle with its project to automate driving in a way more than a few of its biggest fans might be prepared to pay meaningful sums for.

After a horrible few months forTeslaTSLA3.23%increase; green up pointing triangleshareholders, the question is just how far the comparison goes.Tesla shares have roughly halved this year, worse than most of the EV maker’s big peers in both the auto and tech industries. Much of the underperformance has come in the past three months, amid two broad concerns. One is that demand for its products is no longer racing ahead of increasing supply,particularly in China. The other relates to risks surrounding Chief Executive Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, which came together in October.The past week has been particularly bad for demand worries. Following earlier news that the company has been cutting prices and offering sales incentives in China, Bloomberg and Reuters reported that it was planning to trim production at its Shanghai factory. Tesla denied the reports, but Bloomberg followed up with details of shorter production shifts.Lower output isn’t completely surprising given that EV sales in China have been on a hot streak ahead of the expiration of some government subsidies, potentially leading to a hangover next year. Still, the news plays into fears that Tesla’s prospects in the world’s largest car market aren’t quite as spectacular as hoped.Meanwhile, Mr. Musk’s chaotic turnaround of Twitter can be seen variously as a management distraction, a financial liability that needs to be funded by sales of Tesla shares or loans to Mr. Musk backed by those shares, apolitical hot potatothat doesn’t sit well with a global mass-market car brand, and generally a high-risk, high-profile enterprise that could take the shine off Mr. Musk’s reputation and by extension Tesla’s brand.These risks are hard to relate directly to profit, but so is Tesla’s valuation: The stock hasalways been hard to explainin terms of so-called fundamentals. This year’s selloff has made it easier, though.Tesla shares now trade at about 32 times next year’sFactSetconsensus earnings—higher than most stocks but close to the lowest number in their history. Also, earnings per share are expected to grow rapidly, by 41% next year. Compare the earnings multiple with the earnings growth and you get a so-called price-earnings-growth or PEG ratio below one, often a signal that a stock is undervalued. This may be the first time Tesla shares have ever screened as cheap according to a conventional valuation metric.The catch is that earnings growth needs to remain very rapid for the metric to hold much meaning. The big valuation question for Tesla investors is therefore how easily it can carry on ramping up output while maintaining the current high level of profitability. The only reasonable answer is: not at all easily. Crucially for bulls, though, the dream scenario is just about imaginable if you look at the company from the mobile-phone industry’s perspective.IfEVs are like smartphones, Tesla can be seen as the nextApple. In the years after the iPhone’s invention, investors gave the product’s inventor a low valuation because they assumed its profit would fall in line with those of other device makers. As it turned out, the iPhone could be parlayed into an entire ecosystem, including subscriptions and other high-margin software, that has kept Apple’s profit for the most part growing.Tesla teases the parallel with its guidance that, “over time,” profit from selling cars will be accompanied with “an acceleration of software-related profit.” The big hope here is driver-assistance software, with the company already charging $15,000 for its most advanced package.The Apple comparison, which Mr. Musk made directly in Tesla’sthird-quarter earnings call, has enough substance to keep plenty of Tesla fans onside. But it ignores important differences. Perhaps the most fundamental one is that choosing a car brand has long been a form of personal expression, leading to a variety of brands and vehicle types. Will that change as cars go digital, with individual app and software preferences replacing differences in brand and styling? Maybe, but it is a bet against a century of automotive history.More likely, Tesla’s ambition to increase vehicle deliveries consistently by 50% a year will dilute its margins. Today, these are high because it makes few models on a large scale and sells them for premium prices, helped by the shortage of vehicles in general and EVs in particular. Neither shortage will last forever, and Tesla’s own growth will undercut the combination of exclusivity and operational simplicity that support its current financial performance.As for software, Tesla continues to struggle with its project to automate driving in a way more than a few of its biggest fans might be prepared to pay meaningful sums for. It isn’t alone: The entire industry hasn’t madeas much progress toward commercializing self-driving technology as it once hoped. Even if a breakthrough emerges, there islittle reason to think Tesla would make it. It doesn’t appear to have a lead over Intel’sMobileye, which supplies competitors. Recent hints that Tesla might return to using radar, a tool it previously rejected, underline the point.Even at half-price, investors need to make some very bold assumptions to see value in Tesla’s stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":162,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9923974119,"gmtCreate":1670797040832,"gmtModify":1676538433207,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579315453167562","authorIdStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9923974119","repostId":"2290213223","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9929553247,"gmtCreate":1670713063989,"gmtModify":1676538420052,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579315453167562","authorIdStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9929553247","repostId":"1181869151","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181869151","pubTimestamp":1670636698,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181869151?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-10 09:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk’s Tweeting Is Problematic for Tesla Stock.

The bond market has delivered its worst year on record, the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> produced its worst first-half return in 52 years, and the nation&#39;s central bank is aggressively raising interest rates as the stock market plunges. There simply haven&#39;t been many safe havens for investors.</p><p>Yet in spite of these challenges, most Wall Street analysts maintain an optimistic tone. The reason being that recessions and bear markets tend to be short-lived. With the major U.S. indexes eventually erasing corrections, crashes, and bear markets over time, it generally pays to be an optimist.</p><p>However, some analysts are taking optimism to an extreme. Based on the highest price targets issued by Wall Street, the following three supercharged growth stocks offer upside ranging between 393% and 1,153% in 2023.</p><h2>Plug Power: Implied upside of 393%</h2><p>The first fast-paced company with serious upside is hydrogen fuel-cell solution provider <b>Plug Power</b>. According to analyst Amit Dayal of H.C. Wainwright, Plug Power can reach $78. For those of you keeping score at home, this would work out to a near-quintupling in the company&#39;s share price in 2023.</p><p>Dayal&#39;s optimism stems from a number of catalysts. First and foremost is the ongoing shift by most developed countries toward a renewable-energy-driven future. Plug expects to play a key role in supplying fuel cells for vehicles and industrial equipment (e.g., forklifts), as well as building the infrastructure needed to support fuel cell vehicle refueling.</p><p>Additionally, Dayal is excited about management&#39;s efforts to improve operating margin while continuing to rapidly growing sales. Earlier this year, Dayal cited the opening of the company&#39;s fuel cell gigafactory in New York (this occurred in mid-November) and the rollout of next-generation GenDrive units, which are less costly to service, as reasons the company&#39;s margin can improve.</p><p>But the biggest catalyst of all might just be Plug Power&#39;s ability to forge partnerships and joint ventures. It landed an equity investment from SK Group in early 2021 and is working with <b>Renault</b> via a joint venture to go after a significant portion of Europe&#39;s light commercial vehicle market. These partnerships should help lift Plug from just over $500 million in sales in 2021 to a company-forecast $3 billion in revenue by 2025.</p><p>However -- and this is the <i>big</i> &#34;however&#34; -- Plug Power isn&#39;t profitable, and the growing likelihood of a U.S. recession, coupled with high inflation in most developed countries, could coerce businesses and governments to postpone their green-energy transition/spending to a later date.</p><p>With Plug Power already valued at north of $9 billion, a lot of its future sales growth appears to be baked in. Until the company can plant its proverbial feet in the ground and deliver on the bottom line, a $78 price target will be hard to justify.</p><h2>Bionano Genomics: Implied upside of 474%</h2><p>A second supercharged growth stock with monumental upside, at least according to one Wall Street analyst, is small-cap genome analysis company <b>Bionano Genomics</b>. If <b>Oppenheimer</b> analyst Francois Brisebois is correct, Bionano shares will hit $12 in 2023, which would represent an upside of a cool 474%.</p><p>Although Brisebois is the current analyst covering Bionano for Oppenheimer, it was his predecessor, Kevin DeGeeter, who primarily laid out the case for Bionano Genomics running to $12. In DeGeeter&#39;s view, Bionano&#39;s optical genome mapping (OGM) system, known as Saphyr, has demonstrated that it&#39;s faster, less expensive, and in many ways more effective at identifying structural genome variations than other OGM systems.</p><p>One thing investors don&#39;t have to worry about with Bionano Genomics is a lack of data demonstrating Saphyr&#39;s efficacy. Over the past two years, the company has released numerous studies and data points extolling Saphyr&#39;s ability to recognize structural variations in everything from various types of cancer to genetic disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss. In theory, Saphyr can play a key role in helping researchers and drug developers fight hard-to-treat diseases.</p><p>Another positive for Bionano Genomics is its healthy cash position. After its share price went parabolic to begin 2021, management wisely chose to issue stock to raise plenty of capital. The company ended September with approximately $180 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities.  That&#39;s more than enough to offset quarterly losses as the company continues to innovate and look for ways to expand Saphyr&#39;s utility.</p><p>So, why is Bionano Genomics at $2.09 per share and not $12? The answer to that question largely has to do with Saphyr not being an approved diagnostic system by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Without this approval, Saphyr&#39;s utility is limited within the United States. It&#39;s not exactly clear if and when Saphyr might get the green light from the FDA, either.</p><p>Although Bionano&#39;s cash does provide a somewhat safe floor, the ceiling proposed by Brisebois and DeGeeter doesn&#39;t seem achievable without FDA support.</p><h2>Novavax: Implied upside of 1,153%</h2><p>The third supercharged growth stock with truly jaw-dropping upside potential, based on the price target of one analyst, is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b>. According to H.C. Wainwright analyst Vernon Bernardino, who last updated his firm&#39;s price target in March 2022, Novavax is poised to hit (drum roll) $207 per share. That represents a whopping 1,153% upside from where shares ended this past week.</p><p>Bernardino&#39;s price target, which sits as the high-water mark among covering analysts, was based on the idea that Novavax would receive authorization to sell its protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, worldwide. Whereas the <b>Moderna</b> and <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b> vaccines rely on messenger-RNA (mRNA) technology, the Novavax vaccine is differentiated in that it relies on an older and more traditional application of introducing harmless pieces of spike protein to teach a person&#39;s immune system how to fight and/or prevent infection. The thinking here is that folks who were leery of getting an mRNA vaccine might be more willing to receive an initial series or booster shots from Novavax&#39;s protein-based COVID-19 vaccine.</p><p>Something else that&#39;s working in Novavax&#39;s favor is the efficacy of NVX-CoV2373. Only three COVID-19 vaccines have reached the highly coveted 90% vaccine efficacy (VE) level. Those being Moderna (94.1%), Pfizer/BioNTech (95%), and Novavax (90.4%) with its U.S./Mexico trial in 2021. Even though VE is just one measure of efficacy, it&#39;s a strong enough headline number to keep Novavax in the global rotation as a major initial series and booster vaccine player.</p><p>Similar to Bionano, Novavax is swimming with cash. The company ended the third quarter with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which is more than enough to cover the future repayment of its convertible notes and fuel ongoing research.  In particular, Novavax could be one of the first drug developers to bring a combination vaccine targeting COVID-19 and influenza to market.</p><p>But even being a shareholder, I don&#39;t in any way foresee $207 as a viable price target for Novavax in 2023.

The bond market has delivered its worst year on record, the S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years, and the nation's central bank is aggressively raising interest rates as the stock market plunges. There simply haven't been many safe havens for investors.Yet in spite of these challenges, most Wall Street analysts maintain an optimistic tone. The reason being that recessions and bear markets tend to be short-lived. With the major U.S. indexes eventually erasing corrections, crashes, and bear markets over time, it generally pays to be an optimist.However, some analysts are taking optimism to an extreme. Based on the highest price targets issued by Wall Street, the following three supercharged growth stocks offer upside ranging between 393% and 1,153% in 2023.Plug Power: Implied upside of 393%The first fast-paced company with serious upside is hydrogen fuel-cell solution provider Plug Power. According to analyst Amit Dayal of H.C. Wainwright, Plug Power can reach $78. For those of you keeping score at home, this would work out to a near-quintupling in the company's share price in 2023.Dayal's optimism stems from a number of catalysts. First and foremost is the ongoing shift by most developed countries toward a renewable-energy-driven future. Plug expects to play a key role in supplying fuel cells for vehicles and industrial equipment (e.g., forklifts), as well as building the infrastructure needed to support fuel cell vehicle refueling.Additionally, Dayal is excited about management's efforts to improve operating margin while continuing to rapidly growing sales. Earlier this year, Dayal cited the opening of the company's fuel cell gigafactory in New York (this occurred in mid-November) and the rollout of next-generation GenDrive units, which are less costly to service, as reasons the company's margin can improve.But the biggest catalyst of all might just be Plug Power's ability to forge partnerships and joint ventures. It landed an equity investment from SK Group in early 2021 and is working with Renault via a joint venture to go after a significant portion of Europe's light commercial vehicle market. These partnerships should help lift Plug from just over $500 million in sales in 2021 to a company-forecast $3 billion in revenue by 2025.However -- and this is the big \"however\" -- Plug Power isn't profitable, and the growing likelihood of a U.S. recession, coupled with high inflation in most developed countries, could coerce businesses and governments to postpone their green-energy transition/spending to a later date.With Plug Power already valued at north of $9 billion, a lot of its future sales growth appears to be baked in. Until the company can plant its proverbial feet in the ground and deliver on the bottom line, a $78 price target will be hard to justify.Bionano Genomics: Implied upside of 474%A second supercharged growth stock with monumental upside, at least according to one Wall Street analyst, is small-cap genome analysis company Bionano Genomics. If Oppenheimer analyst Francois Brisebois is correct, Bionano shares will hit $12 in 2023, which would represent an upside of a cool 474%.Although Brisebois is the current analyst covering Bionano for Oppenheimer, it was his predecessor, Kevin DeGeeter, who primarily laid out the case for Bionano Genomics running to $12. In DeGeeter's view, Bionano's optical genome mapping (OGM) system, known as Saphyr, has demonstrated that it's faster, less expensive, and in many ways more effective at identifying structural genome variations than other OGM systems.One thing investors don't have to worry about with Bionano Genomics is a lack of data demonstrating Saphyr's efficacy. Over the past two years, the company has released numerous studies and data points extolling Saphyr's ability to recognize structural variations in everything from various types of cancer to genetic disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss. In theory, Saphyr can play a key role in helping researchers and drug developers fight hard-to-treat diseases.Another positive for Bionano Genomics is its healthy cash position. After its share price went parabolic to begin 2021, management wisely chose to issue stock to raise plenty of capital. The company ended September with approximately $180 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities.  That's more than enough to offset quarterly losses as the company continues to innovate and look for ways to expand Saphyr's utility.So, why is Bionano Genomics at $2.09 per share and not $12? The answer to that question largely has to do with Saphyr not being an approved diagnostic system by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Without this approval, Saphyr's utility is limited within the United States. It's not exactly clear if and when Saphyr might get the green light from the FDA, either.Although Bionano's cash does provide a somewhat safe floor, the ceiling proposed by Brisebois and DeGeeter doesn't seem achievable without FDA support.Novavax: Implied upside of 1,153%The third supercharged growth stock with truly jaw-dropping upside potential, based on the price target of one analyst, is biotech stock Novavax. According to H.C. Wainwright analyst Vernon Bernardino, who last updated his firm's price target in March 2022, Novavax is poised to hit (drum roll) $207 per share. That represents a whopping 1,153% upside from where shares ended this past week.Bernardino's price target, which sits as the high-water mark among covering analysts, was based on the idea that Novavax would receive authorization to sell its protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, worldwide. Whereas the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines rely on messenger-RNA (mRNA) technology, the Novavax vaccine is differentiated in that it relies on an older and more traditional application of introducing harmless pieces of spike protein to teach a person's immune system how to fight and/or prevent infection. The thinking here is that folks who were leery of getting an mRNA vaccine might be more willing to receive an initial series or booster shots from Novavax's protein-based COVID-19 vaccine.Something else that's working in Novavax's favor is the efficacy of NVX-CoV2373. Only three COVID-19 vaccines have reached the highly coveted 90% vaccine efficacy (VE) level. Those being Moderna (94.1%), Pfizer/BioNTech (95%), and Novavax (90.4%) with its U.S./Mexico trial in 2021. Even though VE is just one measure of efficacy, it's a strong enough headline number to keep Novavax in the global rotation as a major initial series and booster vaccine player.Similar to Bionano, Novavax is swimming with cash. The company ended the third quarter with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which is more than enough to cover the future repayment of its convertible notes and fuel ongoing research.  In particular, Novavax could be one of the first drug developers to bring a combination vaccine targeting COVID-19 and influenza to market.But even being a shareholder, I don't in any way foresee $207 as a viable price target for Novavax in 2023. With the company enduring numerous emergency-use filing delays and production snafus, it missed out on most of the low-hanging fruit in developed markets in 2022. Moving forward, it'll primarily be focusing its attention on recurring booster shots in developed countries and initial series vaccinations in emerging markets.While I believe Novavax is an amazing value at its current share price, it could take a couple of quarters before Wall Street realizes that as well. If sales growth continues, losses shrink, and the company advances its combination vaccines, it could certainly end 2023 on a much higher note than it'll finish 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9967556693,"gmtCreate":1670364995912,"gmtModify":1676538350848,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579315453167562","authorIdStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9967556693","repostId":"2289816897","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2289816897","pubTimestamp":1670340722,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2289816897?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-06 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2289816897","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Last week was another welcome step up for investors long the market.

While many stocks may have been excessively hyped during the massive rebound out of the pandemic-lows, others have been under pressure because of rising inflation, a higher cost of capital, bottlenecks among the supply chains, as well as headwinds caused by pandemic-related restrictions, geo-political tensions, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.</p><h2><b>An in-depth company comparison</b></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b292a512ca86202c0549254543bfb5\" tg-width=\"472\" tg-height=\"546\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa03acf041d1be505b4a32558b182c46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Although Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f88c88d16069afac3b3d995567a30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Meta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.</p><h2>The stocks’ performance</h2><p>Considering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLC\">Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</a> (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b316e664d2e9457222c2ae8e80185d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>While both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>To determine the actual fair value for both company&#39;s stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f307c189819f83e89ac5301f675e985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfdac1fd157fda94ba58871ccb1c7b3f\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"599\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>I compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.</p><p>Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc9d6404157e698d23631783f3f4cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>I then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c566b27f98414ced096c76621fbf9c00\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Despite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.</p><p>Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.</p><h2>Outlook and Risk discussion</h2><p>With both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand&#39;s Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.</p><p>Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators&#39; space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.</p><p>Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b711fdd651560e12eb413b5c4321377\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>Meta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c27a653d50c6e2a961374aeaa87c1171\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><h2>The Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?</h2><p>The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor&#39;s point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. </p><p>Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. </p><p>I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.</p></body></html>","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>Alphabet Vs.

While many stocks may have been excessively hyped during the massive rebound out of the pandemic-lows, others have been under pressure because of rising inflation, a higher cost of capital, bottlenecks among the supply chains, as well as headwinds caused by pandemic-related restrictions, geo-political tensions, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Companies in the Information technology services industry could perform better from a yearly perspective but lately have been struggling to rebound, while others, such as the semiconductor and the solar industries, have recently been leading the sector.finvizfinvizThe two selected companies are two global giants in their industry, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) having nearly a monopoly in the online search field, as Google processes over 92% of online search volume worldwide, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:META) counting 3.71B monthly users in Q3 2022, among the company’s core products, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, up 4% Year-over-Year [YoY].Author, using TIKRWhile the two companies once were identified as a digital duopoly, because of their massive market share in global online advertising, more recently, companies such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent (OTCX:OTCPK:TCEHY), or ByteDance through their social media TikTok, have penetrated the market and contributed to the erosion of this duopoly.Author, using data from Insider Intelligence, Research and Markets, Company filingsThe global IT Services market is projected to grow at a 9.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] through 2031, while the global digital advertising market is forecasted to grow even faster at a 13.9% CAGR, reaching a size of $1.79T through 2031. The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.An in-depth company comparisonAuthor, using data from S&P Capital IQThe financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQAlthough Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQMeta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.The stocks’ performanceConsidering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.Author, using SeekingAlpha.comWhile both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.ValuationTo determine the actual fair value for both company's stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQThe valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.AuthorI compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQI then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.AuthorDespite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.Outlook and Risk discussionWith both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand's Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators' space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.SeekingAlpha.comMeta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.SeekingAlpha.comThe Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor's point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":10,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9923974119,"gmtCreate":1670797040832,"gmtModify":1676538433207,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9923974119","repostId":"2290213223","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2290213223","pubTimestamp":1670723606,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2290213223?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-11 09:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Stock-Market Investors Shouldn’t Count on a \"Santa Claus\" Rally This Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2290213223","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"‘The Santa Claus rally is canceled this year,’ says economistU.S. stocks tend to rally in the final ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>‘The Santa Claus rally is canceled this year,’ says economist</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0a959345916d49ecfb90abc84cc5b97\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>U.S. stocks tend to rally in the final week of December, and carry the upswing into early January. But a holiday bounce this year likely hinges on next week’s Federal Reserve rate decision and fresh inflation data.</span></p><p>Investors, like kids on Christmas Eve, have come to expect Santa Claus will get down the chimney, march over to Wall Street and deliver the rewarding gift of a stock-market rally.</p><p>This year, however, investors might be better off betting on a lump of coal, rather than waiting for tangible stock-market gains to emerge in this holiday season, market analysts said.</p><p>“The Santa Claus rally is canceled this year as the equity market navigates higher yields and contracting earnings,” said José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers. “Seasonal tailwinds that have traditionally driven Santa Claus rallies pale in comparison to the plethora of headwinds the equity market currently faces.”</p><p>U.S. stock indexes tumbled this week, with the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both booking their sharpest weekly declines in nearly three months, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The drop occurred as stronger-than-expected economic data added to concerns that the Federal Reserve might need to be more aggressive in its inflation battle than earlier anticipated, even with alarms flashing about a potential economic recession.</p><p>Santa Claus tends to come to Wall Street almost every year, bringing a short rally in the last five trading days of December, and the first two days of January. Since 1969, the Santa Rally has boosted the S&amp;P 500 by an average of 1.3%, according to data from Stock Trader’s Almanac.</p><p>“December is the seasonally strongest month of the year, particularly in a midterm election year. So, December has been positive most of the time,” said David Keller, chief market strategist at StockCharts.com. “It would actually be very unusual for stocks to sell off dramatically in December.”</p><p><b>Will Wall Street get a Santa Claus Rally?</b></p><p>A rotten year for financial assets has begun drawing to a close under a cloud of uncertainty. Given the Federal Reserve’s tough stance on bringing inflation down to its 2% target and already volatile financial markets, many analysts think investors shouldn’t focus too much on whether Santa Claus ends up being naughty or nice.</p><p>“Next week is going to be a huge week for the markets as they attempt to find some footing heading into year end,” said Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth, in emailed comments Friday.</p><p>That makes the Fed’s rate decisions next week and fresh inflation data even more crucial to equity markets. Friday’s wholesale prices rose more than expected in November, dampening hopes that inflation might be cooling off. The core producer-price index, which excludes volatile food, energy and trade prices, also rose 0.3% in November, up from a 0.2% gain in the prior month, the Labor Department said.</p><p>The corresponding November consumer-price index report, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, will further show if inflation is subsiding.The CPI increased 0.4% in October and 7.7% from a year ago. The core reading increased 0.3% for the month and 6.3% on an annual basis.</p><p>“If the CPI print comes in at 5% on core, then you’d get a real selloff in bonds and in equities. If inflation is still running hotter and you have a recession, can the Fed cut rates? Maybe not. Then you start getting into the stagflation scenarios,” said Ron Temple, head of U.S. equities at Lazard Asset Management.</p><p>Traders are pricing in a 77% probability that the Fed will raise its policy interest rate by 50 basis points to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% next Wednesday, the last day of its Dec. 13-14 meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.That would be a slower pace than its four consecutive 0.75 point rate hikes since June.</p><p>John Porter, chief investment officer and head of equity at Newton Investment Management, expects no surprises next week in terms of how much the Fed will raise interest rates. He does, however, anticipate stock-market investors will closely watch Fed Chair Powell’s press conference for insights into the decision and “hang on every single word.”</p><p>“Investors are contorting themselves almost into a pretzel and trying to over-interpret the language,” Porter told MarketWatch via phone. “Listen to what they say, not listen to what you want them to say. They [Fed officials] are going to continue to be vigilant, and they have to watch inflation.”</p><p><b>Does the ‘Santa’ rally really exist?</b></p><p>For years, market analysts have examined potential reasons for the typical seasonal Santa Claus pattern. But with this year still awash in red, some think a rally in late December could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, simply because investors might search for any reason to be slightly merry.</p><p>“If everyone’s focused on the positive seasonals, it could become more of this narrative that drives things rather than anything more fundamental,” David Lefkowitz, head of equities Americas of UBS Global Wealth Management, told MarketWatch via phone.</p><p>“Markets tend to like the holly-jolly spending season so much, so there’s a name for the rally that tends to happen at the end of the year,” said Liz Young, head of investment strategy at SoFi. “For what it’s worth, I think ‘Santa Claus Rally’ holds as much predictive power as ‘Sell in May and Walk Away,’ which is minimal and coincidental at best.”</p><p><b>Relief rally’s big tests</b></p><p>While the three main U.S. stock indexes booked sharply weekly losses, equities have rallied off the October lows. The S&amp;P 500 has rallied 9.9% from its October low through Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.90%gained 16.5% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 6.6%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.</p><p>However, many top Wall Street analysts also see reasons for alarm, specifically that the stock market’s bounce off the recent lows is likely running out of room.</p><p>So, are investors ignoring warnings? Despite talk of the seeming inevitability of a year-end rally, several recent rally attempts failed, while Wall Street’s CBOE Volatility Index, or “fear gauge,” was at 22.86 at Friday’s close.

But a holiday bounce this year likely hinges on next week’s Federal Reserve rate decision and fresh inflation data.Investors, like kids on Christmas Eve, have come to expect Santa Claus will get down the chimney, march over to Wall Street and deliver the rewarding gift of a stock-market rally.This year, however, investors might be better off betting on a lump of coal, rather than waiting for tangible stock-market gains to emerge in this holiday season, market analysts said.“The Santa Claus rally is canceled this year as the equity market navigates higher yields and contracting earnings,” said José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers. “Seasonal tailwinds that have traditionally driven Santa Claus rallies pale in comparison to the plethora of headwinds the equity market currently faces.”U.S. stock indexes tumbled this week, with the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both booking their sharpest weekly declines in nearly three months, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The drop occurred as stronger-than-expected economic data added to concerns that the Federal Reserve might need to be more aggressive in its inflation battle than earlier anticipated, even with alarms flashing about a potential economic recession.Santa Claus tends to come to Wall Street almost every year, bringing a short rally in the last five trading days of December, and the first two days of January. Since 1969, the Santa Rally has boosted the S&P 500 by an average of 1.3%, according to data from Stock Trader’s Almanac.“December is the seasonally strongest month of the year, particularly in a midterm election year. So, December has been positive most of the time,” said David Keller, chief market strategist at StockCharts.com. “It would actually be very unusual for stocks to sell off dramatically in December.”Will Wall Street get a Santa Claus Rally?A rotten year for financial assets has begun drawing to a close under a cloud of uncertainty. Given the Federal Reserve’s tough stance on bringing inflation down to its 2% target and already volatile financial markets, many analysts think investors shouldn’t focus too much on whether Santa Claus ends up being naughty or nice.“Next week is going to be a huge week for the markets as they attempt to find some footing heading into year end,” said Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth, in emailed comments Friday.That makes the Fed’s rate decisions next week and fresh inflation data even more crucial to equity markets. Friday’s wholesale prices rose more than expected in November, dampening hopes that inflation might be cooling off. The core producer-price index, which excludes volatile food, energy and trade prices, also rose 0.3% in November, up from a 0.2% gain in the prior month, the Labor Department said.The corresponding November consumer-price index report, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, will further show if inflation is subsiding.The CPI increased 0.4% in October and 7.7% from a year ago. The core reading increased 0.3% for the month and 6.3% on an annual basis.“If the CPI print comes in at 5% on core, then you’d get a real selloff in bonds and in equities. If inflation is still running hotter and you have a recession, can the Fed cut rates? Maybe not. Then you start getting into the stagflation scenarios,” said Ron Temple, head of U.S. equities at Lazard Asset Management.Traders are pricing in a 77% probability that the Fed will raise its policy interest rate by 50 basis points to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% next Wednesday, the last day of its Dec. 13-14 meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.That would be a slower pace than its four consecutive 0.75 point rate hikes since June.John Porter, chief investment officer and head of equity at Newton Investment Management, expects no surprises next week in terms of how much the Fed will raise interest rates. He does, however, anticipate stock-market investors will closely watch Fed Chair Powell’s press conference for insights into the decision and “hang on every single word.”“Investors are contorting themselves almost into a pretzel and trying to over-interpret the language,” Porter told MarketWatch via phone. “Listen to what they say, not listen to what you want them to say. They [Fed officials] are going to continue to be vigilant, and they have to watch inflation.”Does the ‘Santa’ rally really exist?For years, market analysts have examined potential reasons for the typical seasonal Santa Claus pattern. But with this year still awash in red, some think a rally in late December could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, simply because investors might search for any reason to be slightly merry.“If everyone’s focused on the positive seasonals, it could become more of this narrative that drives things rather than anything more fundamental,” David Lefkowitz, head of equities Americas of UBS Global Wealth Management, told MarketWatch via phone.“Markets tend to like the holly-jolly spending season so much, so there’s a name for the rally that tends to happen at the end of the year,” said Liz Young, head of investment strategy at SoFi. “For what it’s worth, I think ‘Santa Claus Rally’ holds as much predictive power as ‘Sell in May and Walk Away,’ which is minimal and coincidental at best.”Relief rally’s big testsWhile the three main U.S. stock indexes booked sharply weekly losses, equities have rallied off the October lows. The S&P 500 has rallied 9.9% from its October low through Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.90%gained 16.5% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 6.6%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.However, many top Wall Street analysts also see reasons for alarm, specifically that the stock market’s bounce off the recent lows is likely running out of room.So, are investors ignoring warnings? Despite talk of the seeming inevitability of a year-end rally, several recent rally attempts failed, while Wall Street’s CBOE Volatility Index, or “fear gauge,” was at 22.86 at Friday’s close. A drop below 20 on the VIX can signify that investor fears about potential market ructions are easing.U.S. stock indexes closed down on Friday with the S&P 500 losing 0.7%. The Dow dropped 0.9%, and the Nasdaq shed 0.7%. Three major indexes booked a week of sizable losses with the S&P 500 posting a weekly decline of 3.4%. The Dow declined by 2.8% and the Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 4% this week, according to Dow Jones Market Data.Next week, not long after the CPI and the Fed decision, investors will also receive November retail sales data and industrial production index on Thursday, followed by the S&P Global’s flash PMI readings on Friday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961936355,"gmtCreate":1668817213777,"gmtModify":1676538116845,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961936355","repostId":"2284706212","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2284706212","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":1668806827,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2284706212?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-19 05:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-S&P 500 Ends Higher, Led By Defensive Shares","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2284706212","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index ended higher on Friday in a choppy trading session","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Reuters) - Wall Street&#39;s benchmark S&amp;P 500 index ended higher on Friday in a choppy trading session, as gains in defensive shares overshadowed energy declines, and investors shrugged off hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials about interest rate hikes.</p><p>Federal Reserve Bank of Boston leader Susan Collins said that, with little evidence price pressures are waning, the Fed may need to deliver another 75-basis point rate hike as it seeks to get inflation under control.</p><p>On Thursday, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard set off equity declines when he said the Fed needs to keep raising interest rates given that its tightening so far &#34;had only limited effects on observed inflation.&#34;</p><p>With Collins and then Bullard &#34;we have had some very hawkish talk, but the market has really taken it in stride,&#34;

As 2023 kicks in, top internet titans like Alibaba, JD.com, and Pinduoduo may have the most room to run as they look to claw back from the depths of the abyss.Chinese stocks have been in a world of pain well before the S&P 500 (SPX) plunged into a bear market in 2022. Indeed, many investors and talking heads have slapped the unenviable title of “uninvestable” on Chinese stocks, given how difficult it is to gauge their inherent risks. Indeed, delisting concerns and other issues based on exogenous events make it hard to value even the “cheapest” Chinese internet ADRs (American Depository Receipts). Despite the added risks of investing in Chinese stocks, many Wall Street analysts continue to view names like Alibaba (NASDAQ: BABA), JD.com (NASDAQ: JD), and Pinduoduo (NASDAQ: PDD) favorably.There’s no doubt that U.S. investors have been burned by Chinese names in recent years. With swollen regulatory risk discounts and considerable growth to be had over the long run, China’s top internet plays may still be worth considering while they’re miles away from their peaks.Let’s check in on three Strong-Buy-rated Chinese tech titans that Wall Street expects great things from in 2023.Alibaba (BABA)Alibaba is probably the first firm that comes to mind to American investors looking for Chinese tech exposure. It’s been a slow, painful descent for one of China’s most FAANG-like stocks. After plunging by around 80% from peak to trough, BABA stock has shown signs of life in recent weeks, rallying by around 52% off the October trough.Whether the recent rally lasts remains to be seen. Regardless, it’s hard for value-conscious investors to overlook the absurdly-low 1.9 times price-to-sales (P/S) multiple.At these depths, even the slightest positive news could have a significant impact on the stock. With Chinese stocks bouncing due to easing COVID-19 restrictions, Alibaba and the broader basket may, once again, be unignorable as consumer spending looks to heal. Arguably, Alibaba has the most to gain as China reopens its economy and the worst recession fears come to pass.What is the Price Target for BABA Stock?Wall Street is sticking with its “Strong Buy” rating on Alibaba stock, with 15 unanimous Buy recommendations. The average BABA stock price target of $133.73 implies a solid 51.4% gain from here.JD.com (JD)JD.com is an e-commerce player that rallied sharply in recent weeks after enduring a nearly two-year-long 64% plunge. Driven by easing COVID-19 restrictions and a huge third-quarter beat that saw per-share earnings crush estimates ($0.90 EPS vs. $0.70 consensus), JD stock now seems to have the most technical strength behind it.At just 0.6 times sales, JD stock has some low expectations in mind ahead of what’s likely to be a global recession. As China looks to loosen its strict zero-COVID policy, JD could be one of the bigger beneficiaries.In a rising-rate world, U.S. investors can appreciate JD’s latest profitability surge. The company is well-positioned to continue driving margins higher as it looks to take a page out of the playbook of an early Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).What is the Price Target for JD Stock?Wall Street loves JD stock, with a “Strong Buy” consensus rating. The average JD stock price target of $77.69 implies 32.92% gains from current levels.Pinduoduo (PDD)Pinduoduo is a Chinese e-commerce play that’s suffered the biggest hit to the chin amid China’s horrific tech sell-off. From peak to trough, shares shed more than 83% of their value. Since bottoming earlier this year, though, PDD stock has been really heating up, rewarding dip-buyers who gave the digital retail play the benefit of the doubt. Shares are now up around 265% from their 2022 lows.Indeed, Pinduoduo is the spiciest Chinese internet stock, but one that could deliver the biggest gains in a turnaround scenario. The recent third-quarter beat was a blowout ($1.23 EPS vs. $0.69 consensus). As the company continues to impress despite the dire macro conditions, growth-savvy investors willing to stomach the risks may be enticed to get back into the name.At 6.4 times sales and 30 times trailing earnings, PDD stock is one of the pricier Chinese e-commerce firms. After six straight sizeable bottom-line beats, though, I view the name as compelling.What is the Price Target for PDD Stock?Wall Street continues to pound the table on Pinduoduo. The average PDD stock price target of $99.51 implies 15.95% gains from here.Conclusion: Wall Street is Most Bullish on BABAIndeed, recent momentum in Chinese stocks may reignite enthusiasm. A sustained rally into 2023 may even cause pundits to shed their “uninvestable” status. Of the three names in this piece, Wall Street expects the biggest gains from Alibaba stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":292,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9983493779,"gmtCreate":1666305414791,"gmtModify":1676537736503,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9983493779","repostId":"1146548462","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146548462","pubTimestamp":1666276669,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146548462?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-20 22:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Is Taking a \"YOLO\" Page Out of Retail’s Playbook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146548462","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"‘You Only Live Once’ became the rallying cry of retail traders in certain Reddit forums making high-","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e438c4843e65e5360d92d0adef6ea297\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"533\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>‘You Only Live Once’ became the rallying cry of retail traders in certain Reddit forums making high-risk bets in stock markets.</p><p>Now, it might also be the inspiration for a growing group of professional investors who appear to be taking a page out of retail’s playbook with a controversial options strategy.</p><p>That’s according to Nomura Securities International Inc.

That means the contracts can fluctuate wildly in value, even if they’re only held for a day or two.</p><p>The “institutionalization” of these contracts is also making markets more vulnerable to big swings over all, according to McElligott. The amount of sensitivity in the options market to underlying stocks, indexes and exchange-traded fund — known as<i>delta</i>in trader parlance — is now on a par with the depths of the Covid-19 crash in March 2020 and the so-called ‘Volmageddon’ of early 2018, he says.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8cf8675e892f15c47d3d4b809b1b575f\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"1060\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Nomura</p><p>“Most critically as it relates to the outrageous ranges and swings this past week in US equities and into the upcoming expiration, it is the staggering amount of (negative) front-delta into Friday’s [options expiry] that has then needed to be traded on the approach, which is then acting as further shadow-convexity in the market,” he says.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Strategist Charlie McElligott, who’s blaming a proliferation of professionals piling into options right before their expiry for exacerbating recent swings in markets.The strategy of trading options close to their expiry has become a popular strategy on forums such as WallStreetBets, with one person on the social media platform recently claiming to have lost a $100,000 inheritance after tradingone-day puts on the S&P 500.“YOLOing into 0 and 1 Days-Til-Expiration (DTE) options has now been ‘institutionalized’ by vol traders at many of the largest funds on the Street,” McElligott wrote in a note to clients. “It’s not about retail-alone playing this game anymore.”“We have seen witnessed some absolutely biblical usage of 0DTE and 1DTE options, and it’s acting like jet fuel being dumped on the already out of control ‘macro’ fire occurring into persistent ‘negative gamma’ momentum overshoot flows,” he added. “Using the certainty of dealer hedging flows that their orders create to then amplify and ‘juice’ the intended directional market move … before closing-out positions mere hours later by end of day.”He estimates that 0-1DTE options are making up a growing portion of the total options written on the S&P 500. Some days in September saw such options make up as much as 65% of the total.Source: NomuraBuying these one- or zero-days to expiration options can expose investors to big profits and losses as they’re typically more vulnerable to changes in the price of the underlying stock or index. That means the contracts can fluctuate wildly in value, even if they’re only held for a day or two.The “institutionalization” of these contracts is also making markets more vulnerable to big swings over all, according to McElligott. The amount of sensitivity in the options market to underlying stocks, indexes and exchange-traded fund — known asdeltain trader parlance — is now on a par with the depths of the Covid-19 crash in March 2020 and the so-called ‘Volmageddon’ of early 2018, he says.Source: Nomura“Most critically as it relates to the outrageous ranges and swings this past week in US equities and into the upcoming expiration, it is the staggering amount of (negative) front-delta into Friday’s [options expiry] that has then needed to be traded on the approach, which is then acting as further shadow-convexity in the market,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037541140,"gmtCreate":1648159856492,"gmtModify":1676534309679,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037541140","repostId":"2221174430","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2221174430","pubTimestamp":1648136014,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2221174430?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-24 23:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want to Retire With $1 Million?

Over the last decade, the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has generated a total return of 286%, meaning you could have tripled your money by simply investing in an exchange traded fund that tracks the popular index.</p><p>That said, greater rewards await savvy investors who are willing to research and build a diversified portfolio of individual stocks. For those interested in long-term growth, tech standouts <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HUBS\">HubSpot</a></b> ( HUBS 3.21% ) and <b>Okta</b> ( OKTA -1.76% ) look like smart investments. Both have the potential to quadruple in value over the next 10 years, growing at a pace that would turn an initial investment of $250,000 split evenly between these stocks into a collective $1 million.</p><p>What makes these companies ready for such monster growth? Let&#39;s take a look.</p><h2>HubSpot: Customer relationship management</h2><p>HubSpot provides customer relationship management (CRM) software, offering tools that drive productivity across marketing, sales, customer service, and operations. The HubSpot app marketplace lists over 1,000 integrations that extend the functionality of its CRM suite, connecting with social media apps like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b>&#39; Instagram, commerce software like <b>Shopify</b>, and email systems like <b>Microsoft </b>( MSFT 1.64% ) Outlook.</p><p>Of course, HubSpot faces intense competition from other CRM vendors like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>, </b>which generated 20 times more revenue than HubSpot over the last 12 months. But HubSpot&#39;s advantage lies in the quickly growing marketing automation space, where it holds nearly 34% market share. For context, the marketing automation industry was worth $3.6 billion in 2020, and is expected to grow threefold in the next five years. That edge could certainly help HubSpot grow over the next decade. But more immediately, this advantage in marketing automation gives HubSpot a foothold in the broader CRM industry, allowing the company to execute its land-and-expand growth strategy.</p><p>As of fourth quarter 2021, 60% of customers use multiple HubSpot products, compared to 34% in 2017. This uptick in adoption has translated into strong financial results. In 2021, revenue rose 47% to $1.3 billion, and the company generated free cash flow of $203.3 million, up from $79.1 million the year prior. Analysts believe there&#39;s even more room for HubSpot to grow: Brad Sills of <b>Bank of America</b> Securities ( BAC 3.13% ) puts HubSpot&#39;s addressable market at $87 billion.</p><p>To that end, HubSpot continues to innovate and expand its capabilities. Last year, it partnered with Stripe to launch HubSpot Payments, a tool that streamlines sales by enabling digital payments directly through its CRM platform. HubSpot also launched Operations Hub, a software product that helps operations teams sync data between applications and automate various business processes.</p><p>Here&#39;s the bottom line: HubSpot helps its clients provide a great consumer experience across the entire customer lifecycle. That value proposition resonates with businesses in virtually every industry. More importantly, HubSpot has achieved a strong competitive position, especially in marketing automation software, and that tailwind should be a growth driver in the years ahead. In fact, I think this $23 billion business could grow fourfold to $92 billion over the next decade.</p><h2>Okta: Cybersecurity</h2><p>Okta helps organizations protect sensitive applications and data. Its primary offering, Okta Identity Cloud, is a suite of identity and access management (IAM) tools that securely connects users to necessary technologies. Okta uses artificial intelligence to continuously analyze contextual signals (such as user, device, and location) to score the risk associated with each sign-in attempt. Following this formula, the platform only authenticates and authorizes appropriate users. Given the growing need for cybersecurity -- the number of Internet of Things cyberattacks alone is expected to double by 2025 -- this stock looks like a prime candidate for fourfold returns.</p><p>Okta&#39;s technology is highly versatile and addresses both workforce and customer identity use cases. Okta Identity Cloud integrates with over 7,000 different software products and infrastructure providers. Okta also provides developer tools that allow clients to incorporate Okta technology into other applications. Unlike rivals such as Microsoft, Okta is infrastructure-agnostic; its identity tools aren&#39;t associated with a specific cloud vendor and the company has no incentive to push clients toward particular technologies. This neutrality gives Okta a significant edge, spurring <b>Gartner </b>and <b>Forrester Research</b> to recognize the company as a leader in the IAM space.</p><p>Those accolades came alongside solid financial performance. In the past year, revenue soared 56% to $1.3 billion, and the company generated positive free cash flow of $87 million. This free cash flow represents a 22% drop compared to the year prior, due in large part to expenses associated with Okta&#39;s acquisition of Auth0. However, that acquisition strengthens Okta&#39;s position in the customer identity space. While Okta already had an impressive ecosystem of pre-built integrations, Auth0&#39;s developer tools make its easy to embed IAM solutions into any application, including consumer-facing ones.</p><p>Last year, Okta announced the launch of two new products: Identity Governance, which simplifies reporting and automates workflows, and Privileged Access, which ensures heightened protection of highly valuable accounts. Collectively, these new products will strengthen Okta&#39;s position in the workforce identity space, pushing the company&#39;s addressable market to $80 billion. Both products are set to launch in first quarter 2022, and management will report on progress later in the year. For now, though, these announcements highlight Okta&#39;s ambitious growth strategy and underscore its commitment to industry expansion.</p><p>In short, Okta has carved out a leadership position in the IAM industry, and through acquisition and innovation, management is working to strengthen that position. More broadly, cybersecurity will only become more critical as the number of connected devices continues to proliferate. That&#39;s why I think this growth stock -- which currently has a market cap of $27 billion -- could grow fourfold to $108 billion over the next decade.</p></body></html>","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>Want to Retire With $1 Million?

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 1.1% lower, while Japan's Nikkei lost 1.03%.Treasury yields resumed their upward trajectory after data showed personal income rising more than expected and October inflation data was upwardly revised.Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 22/32 in price to yield 3.7509%, from 3.671% late on Thursday.The 30-year bond last fell 61/32 in price to yield 3.8269%, from 3.724% late on Thursday.The dollar fluctuated but remained essentially unchanged against a basket of world currencies after two days of gains as market participants weighed the probability of interest rates rising further and staying there longer than many might have hoped.The dollar index fell 0.11%, with the euro up 0.22% toat $1.0616.The Japanese yen weakened 0.36% versus the greenback at 132.85 per dollar, while Sterling was last trading at $1.2045, up 0.02% on the day.Oil prices jumped after Moscow announced it might cut crude output in response to the G7 price cap on Russian exports.U.S. crude rose 2.67% to settle at $79.56 per barrel, while Brent settled at $83.92 per barrel, up 3.63% on the day.Gold advanced amid dollar weakness ahead of the long weekend.Spot gold added 0.3% to $1,797.42 an ounce.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":533,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9006312955,"gmtCreate":1641605566475,"gmtModify":1676533633884,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9006312955","repostId":"2201424321","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2201424321","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":1641597180,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2201424321?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-08 07:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St posts declines for first week of 2022; Nasdaq has worst week since Feb","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2201424321","media":"Reuters","summary":"* U.S. nonfarm payrolls rise by 199,000 in December* GameStop jumps after report of foray into NFT, ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* U.S. nonfarm payrolls rise by 199,000 in December</p><p>* GameStop jumps after report of foray into NFT, crypto markets</p><p>* Indexes: Dow down 0.01%, S&amp;P 500 down 0.4%, Nasdaq down 1%</p><p>NEW YORK Jan 7 (Reuters) - Wall Street on Friday wrapped up the first week of the new year with daily and weekly losses as investors worried about looming U.S. interest-rate hikes and unfolding Omicron news.</p><p>The Nasdaq posted its biggest weekly percentage fall since February 2021 and led declines for the day in the major indexes.

It’s why we’re introducing new store commerce models and policies.”</p>\n<p>The move is certain to rankle executives at both Apple and Google, which are facing antitrust investigations into their app store practices.</p>\n<p>Apple is awaiting a ruling in an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, in which the “Fortnite” developer accused the iPhone maker of abusing its market power over the App Store by forcing developers to use its own payment system and fork over the associated fees.</p>\n<p>Google, meanwhile, faces a similar lawsuit from Epic and is expected to get slapped with a lawsuit from a collection of state attorneys general for its app store policies.</p>\n<h3><b>Microsoft has been criticizing Apple’s policies</b></h3>\n<p>This isn’t the first time Microsoft has called out its rivals and their app stores. The company has criticized Apple’s policies in the past, specifically Apple’s policy of taking a share of revenue from Microsoft apps purchased through the Apple App Store.</p>\n<p>More recently, Microsoft sparred with Apple over its desire to get its xCloud cloud gaming platform onto the iPhone via a native app. Apple has pushed back, hampering Microsoft’s cloud gaming ambitions and forcing it to make users rely on a browser-style app.</p>\n<p>That led Microsoft to meet and lodge a complaint with members of the House Antitrust Subcommittee during the body’s investigation into Apple, Google, Amazon, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d92ddac610658f60945c72fc4da23210\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"640\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Microsoft has debuted the latest version of its Windows operating system: Windows 11. (Image: Microsoft)Microsoft</p>\n<p>Microsoft also took aim at Apple in the iPhone maker’s battle with “Fortnite” developer Epic Games. In that instance, Microsoft filed a statement of support for Epic in its fight to prevent Apple withholding iOS support for Epic’s Unreal Engine.</p>\n<p>Epic initially sued Apple and Google after the two companies removed “Fornite” from their respective app stores.

It’s why we’re introducing new store commerce models and policies.”\nThe move is certain to rankle executives at both Apple and Google, which are facing antitrust investigations into their app store practices.\nApple is awaiting a ruling in an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, in which the “Fortnite” developer accused the iPhone maker of abusing its market power over the App Store by forcing developers to use its own payment system and fork over the associated fees.\nGoogle, meanwhile, faces a similar lawsuit from Epic and is expected to get slapped with a lawsuit from a collection of state attorneys general for its app store policies.\nMicrosoft has been criticizing Apple’s policies\nThis isn’t the first time Microsoft has called out its rivals and their app stores. The company has criticized Apple’s policies in the past, specifically Apple’s policy of taking a share of revenue from Microsoft apps purchased through the Apple App Store.\nMore recently, Microsoft sparred with Apple over its desire to get its xCloud cloud gaming platform onto the iPhone via a native app. Apple has pushed back, hampering Microsoft’s cloud gaming ambitions and forcing it to make users rely on a browser-style app.\nThat led Microsoft to meet and lodge a complaint with members of the House Antitrust Subcommittee during the body’s investigation into Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.\nMicrosoft has debuted the latest version of its Windows operating system: Windows 11. (Image: Microsoft)Microsoft\nMicrosoft also took aim at Apple in the iPhone maker’s battle with “Fortnite” developer Epic Games. In that instance, Microsoft filed a statement of support for Epic in its fight to prevent Apple withholding iOS support for Epic’s Unreal Engine.\nEpic initially sued Apple and Google after the two companies removed “Fornite” from their respective app stores. Apple and Google argue that Epic implemented an update that added a separate payment system allowing consumers to circumvent Apple or Google’s payment services. That effectively cut out Apple and Google’s 30% app store fees.\nEpic’s fight with Apple wrapped up earlier this month and a ruling is expected before the end of the summer.\nMicrosoft could win over developers\nWith its decision to allow developers to use their own payment systems, Microsoft is sending a signal to the global developer community that it is willing to play by their rules. That could help the company as it seeks to build out its app store and drive more business for Windows.\nWhile Microsoft was caught flat-footed in the smartphone wars, its moves with the Windows 11 Microsoft Store could give it the kind of boost from developers that it needs to begin taking market share from Apple and Google in the fight for app store supremacy.

But the market reaction showed global investors were rattled by the potential for the Bank of Japan to eventually give up its role as the last remaining low-rate anchor.</p><p>“The fact that investors see today’s move as heralding a bigger shift is evident from the market reaction,” said Jim Reid, strategist at Deutsche Bank, in a note.</p><p>The BOJ, at a regular policy meeting, said the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond could rise as high as 0.5% from a previous cap of 0.25%. The central bank, as part of a program known as yield curve control, has maintained a target range around zero for the benchmark government bond yield since 2016 and used that as a tool to keep overall market interest rates low.</p><p>For its part, the BOJ didn’t cite inflation as a reason for the move, instead highlighting concerns about the functioning of the government bond market.</p><p>The yen soared, strengthening by more than 3% versus the U.S. dollar, while yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds were up 16 basis points at 0.413%, after hitting their highest level since 2015. U.S. Treasury yields spiked as global bond yields rose. The dollar weakened broadly versus major rivals, with the ICE U.S. Dollar Index down 0.8%.</p><p>The widening differential between Japanese and other developed market interest rates had translated into a steep selloff by the yen this year, with the currency hitting a multidecade low versus the U.S. dollar earlier this year.</p><p>Equity markets in Asia felt the heat from rising yields, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 falling more than 2%. Stocks in Europe and the U.S. saw a more subdued reaction, with U.S. stock-index futures pointing to a flat start for Wall Street.</p><p>Speculation around a broader shift in policy has been mounting.</p><p>The U.S. Treasury market felt ripples in Monday’s session after the Kyodo News agency over the weekend reported that Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was looking to make the country’s 2% inflation target more flexible.

But the market reaction showed global investors were rattled by the potential for the Bank of Japan to eventually give up its role as the last remaining low-rate anchor.“The fact that investors see today’s move as heralding a bigger shift is evident from the market reaction,” said Jim Reid, strategist at Deutsche Bank, in a note.The BOJ, at a regular policy meeting, said the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond could rise as high as 0.5% from a previous cap of 0.25%. The central bank, as part of a program known as yield curve control, has maintained a target range around zero for the benchmark government bond yield since 2016 and used that as a tool to keep overall market interest rates low.For its part, the BOJ didn’t cite inflation as a reason for the move, instead highlighting concerns about the functioning of the government bond market.The yen soared, strengthening by more than 3% versus the U.S. dollar, while yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds were up 16 basis points at 0.413%, after hitting their highest level since 2015. U.S. Treasury yields spiked as global bond yields rose. The dollar weakened broadly versus major rivals, with the ICE U.S. Dollar Index down 0.8%.The widening differential between Japanese and other developed market interest rates had translated into a steep selloff by the yen this year, with the currency hitting a multidecade low versus the U.S. dollar earlier this year.Equity markets in Asia felt the heat from rising yields, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 falling more than 2%. Stocks in Europe and the U.S. saw a more subdued reaction, with U.S. stock-index futures pointing to a flat start for Wall Street.Speculation around a broader shift in policy has been mounting.The U.S. Treasury market felt ripples in Monday’s session after the Kyodo News agency over the weekend reported that Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was looking to make the country’s 2% inflation target more flexible. The report said that Kishida, as soon as next spring, could discuss details of how to revise the government’s decade-long accord with the BOJ on the 2% target after a new central-bank governor succeeds Haruhiko Kuroda, whose term ends in April.The Bank of Japan has spent massively in its effort to maintain the cap on the 10-year yield as global bond yields jumped this year in response to policy tightening by other major central banks, noted Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, on Twitter. That pressure may intensify “because markets smell blood,” he said.While prospects for a move were being built into expectations for 2023, there was a widespread view that nothing was likely to happen in the final months of Kuroda’s term as governor, said Adam Cole, chief currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets, in a note.He noted that other aspects of policy, including forward guidance and the policy balance rate, were left unchanged and the statement played up the market functioning role of the band widening, rather than characterizing it as a tightening of monetary policy.“But coming in illiquid conditions, the market reaction has been sharp.

He had a million followers on Twitter. And he commanded a sprawling crypto empire nearing $100 billion in value, which had seemed to explode from obscurity to ubiquity overnight.</p><p>If there were a Mt. Rushmore of crypto, Kwon’s face would have been half-chiseled into stone by May of this year. And one of those faces would have been an anonymous slab in a hoodie, so that’s saying something. His algorithmic stablecoin “UST,” created by his company Terraform Labs (TFL), had crypto’s most coveted investors lining up to give him their money.</p><p>The Terra ecosystem’s astronomical growth was unprecedented. If it survived the crucible of early adoption, it was poised to become the backbone of the entire decentralized economy — “crypto’s reserve currency,” as the pitch tended to go. UST would do this by performing one deceptively simple job: always be worth one dollar, and in doing so, give crypto a less volatile medium of exchange than standard bearers like bitcoin.</p><p>To keep UST’s price steady, Kwon designed a companion coin, LUNA, which he programmed to have a balancing effect on UST’s price. If demand for UST went up or down, then Kwon’s algorithm would adjust the supply of LUNA accordingly, until market forces drove UST back to $1. Zoom all the way out, and if UST maintained that dollar peg long enough, then Kwon would become the man at the center of the coin at the center of a multi-trillion dollar industry.</p><p>And he wasn’t shy about his breakneck success. He might have been a versatile engineer, but shame was not in his repertoire. Some of his tweets could make Elon Musk blush: He referred to his critics as “poors.” He mocked journalists and taunted regulators. And he danced on the graves of his competitors with palpable delight.</p><p>He made a show of walking the walk, too — his wardrobe of a half-dozen faded t-shirts made Zuck look like a fashionista, and his upright, 6’2” frame exuded the confidence of a fox in a henhouse. At the age of 30, he played the part of wunderkind visionary with more panache than a hype man at a Cupertino keynote.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c2d9d89ce74ca3fc4a1e6dba2e24add\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2160\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, sits down for an exclusive interview with Coinage at his company&#39;s office in Singapore.</span></p><p>From the outside, success at such a dizzying scale always has a way of feeling like it happens overnight. One day, you’ve never heard of the smirking Stanford grad from South Korea; the next, he’s everywhere — a force that must be reckoned with anywhere that crypto must be reckoned with. But behind the scenes, Kwon had been quietly laying the groundwork for his meteoric rise for nearly five years. From the comfort of his keyboard, he’d created a new blockchain, invented a new currency, and raised a small and fiercely loyal army of developers (you can’t launch a financial revolution without revolutionaries, of course). In crypto these days, that means shooting the shit under pseudonyms on Discord, parlaying with hackers on Telegram, and reeling in institutional investors one by one, until blue-chip billionaires start getting FOMO and maneuver to dive in headfirst.</p><p>Skeptics could always nitpick, but from afar, everything in Kwon’s playbook didn’t just look like it was going to plan — at every turn, he seemed to exceed expectations. He also made a habit of putting his money where his mouth was, and his family’s legacy too: when he and his wife welcomed their first child in April, they christened her Luna. “My dearest creation named after my greatest invention,” he<u>announced</u>on Twitter. To say he was all in was an understatement. He actively positioned himself to either go down as a genius or an egomaniac. Or just as likely, both.</p><p>But that was Kwon’s great appeal as a salesman: Bold, brash, and brilliant, a man who was untouchable in all the most entertaining ways. His legion of followers called themselves LUNAtics. Analysts called him the most important man in crypto. At least one of those billionaire backers went so far as to get a regrettable LUNA tattoo. His cockiness? All in good fun, and proven out by the numbers. His caginess? A great man need not suffer fools nor haters — in online discourse, there’s no such thing as too clever by half.</p><p>So it was little surprise his investors hailed from all over the world, united by the Big Idea at the heart of Terra’s triumph: “A decentralized economy needs decentralized money.” Or put another way, for those who haven’t been crypto-pilled: For crypto to work, UST-LUNA has to work. And it will only work if enough of us trust that it will.</p><p>But then one day, it didn’t.</p><p>With breathtaking speed, Terra’s fairytale rise would prove too good to be true — and would only be outdone by the nightmarish theatrics of its fall. Over one week in May, the market’s trust in Do Kwon went to zero, and UST cratered with it as LUNA crashed back to Earth. By month’s end, over $45 billion had evaporated from Terra’s ecosystem, and<u>more than $80 billion</u>from all crypto markets in the fallout. Just like that, Kwon’s empire had crumbled to dust.</p><p>In the hazy aftermath, investors who watched their life savings disappear have been left with more questions than answers. Lives have been ruined, fortunes lost, and there have been reports of suicides. Meanwhile, Kwon and his company are now the subjects of multiple class-action lawsuits, and some in the press have dubbed him “crypto’s Elizabeth Holmes.” Last month, investigators in Korea raided the home of his co-founder Daniel Shin. And as authorities build a possible case against Terraform Labs in Kwon’s home country, his employees attached to the project have been put on Korea’s no-fly list.</p><p>But Kwon hasn’t been in Korea for months — he’s in Singapore, still trying to process exactly how everything went so bad, so fast. He meets me in a casual hot pot joint near his office, wearing shorts and knockoff Birkenstocks to survive the unyielding heat of a Singapore summer. Everywhere I look, something’s reaching a boiling point.</p><p>I’d been chasing this interview for three months now, since the week of Terra’s collapse. So had others, Kwon tells me. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, even a couple Netflix documentaries. When Kwon finally agreed to go on the record, I took the first flight out from New York I could get.</p><p>As a reporter, there is little more terrifying than the sense you may be too close to a story; this one requires more disclosures than any I’ve reported in my life. When Kwon was at the pinnacle of his powers last year, Terraform Labs became an investor in Coinage’s parent company. Meanwhile, I had previously bought UST and LUNA tokens, and held both all the way through the crash. Which is to say: I lost almost everything that week as well. On several occasions over those fateful few days, I’d even passed up the chance to hedge my bets, because, like hundreds of thousands of others, I believed in what Terra was building, and believed Kwon when he said it would work.</p><p>To be sure, I had only myself to blame for my investment choices — indeed, I knew Terra’s risks better than most. Or at least, I liked to think I did. It’s one thing to buy the dream, another to live the reality. And somewhere in the shuffle, I’d lost a small fortune literally buying what Kwon had been selling.</p><p>That’s why I don’t see it coming when Kwon throws back the last of his drink, as exhausted as I’ve ever seen him, and hits<i>me</i>with a question before he’ll start leaking answers: “What would you have done differently?”</p><p>Well, if we’re going there — where to begin?</p><h2><b>Day 1: 99 Cents</b></h2><p>The trade was perfectly timed. An anonymous actor, or<u>possibly two</u>, knew exactly how and when to strike against Kwon’s miracle machine. To many, its algorithm appeared invincible — it had just catapulted Terra from far-flung message boards to one of crypto’s top 10 projects by market cap, after all. But behind the curtain, if you knew where to look, there lurked a glaring flaw.</p><p>Unlike other stablecoins, which are designed to be backed by cold hard cash, UST was “algorithmic,” which meant that it had no such<i>real</i>backstop in the physical world. This approach was riskier, sure. But it also meant that if Terra was successful, crypto would finally have a reliable currency that was truly and completely independent of the old financial system.</p><p>So instead, UST kept its $1 peg through its algorithm, allowing users to freely trade between UST and LUNA. In effect, buying LUNA was a pure bet on the adoption of UST: The more people bought UST, the more LUNA the algorithm would burn to keep UST at $1. And that would in turn drive up the price of LUNA. In a market as complex as crypto’s, Kwon’s masterstroke was a tantalizingly simple investment thesis — if you thought UST’s use would continue to grow, then you bought LUNA. So, I bought LUNA.</p><p>As recently as 2021, LUNA was trading for as low as 63 cents. At its peak in April of this year, it was going for $119. The day before everything went to hell, it was still sitting comfortably near $80.</p><p>And just as designed, as LUNA soared, UST stayed stable. Until it didn’t.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4aeab6f3109ce798595f9f4ac111456\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Do Kwon working from Terraform Labs&#39;s office in Singapore.</span></p><p>On the night of May 7, 2022, Terraform labs executed an unannounced transfer of funds between trading pools. Thirteen minutes later, the untraceable traders pounced on this brief window of vulnerability, selling off nearly $200 million worth of UST at the exact same time.</p><p>“I was in Singapore,” Kwon recounts from his noticeably sparse downtown office. “I woke up in the morning and the Curve pool was imbalanced because somebody had done a very large trade … Twitter was alight with speculation about UST. And my first reaction is, you know, this has happened before … I talked to a few people on Twitter, I got back to a few Telegram messages and, you know, didn&#39;t take too much action at that point.”</p><p>As more and more UST was swapped out for other currencies, the trading pool became unbalanced, which caused the value of UST to wobble from $1 to 99 cents. Which might not sound like a lot, on its face. But again, UST only had that one job:<i>always be worth one dollar</i>. No more, no less.</p><p>The wobble quickly caught the attention of traders. “The sentiment on Twitter started to get worse,” Kwon recalls, putting it lightly. “And then there started to be more people that were trading against the Curve pools.” In an attempt to allay fears, Kwon brusquely<u>took to Twitter</u>, where he goes by @stablekwon: “Anon, you could listen to [Crypto Twitter] influensooors about UST depegging for the 69th time. Or you could remember they’re all now poor, and go for a run instead.”</p><p>But behind the scenes, the situation was more complicated than he was letting on. His executive team was out of commission at the time of the attack — they were all up in the air, en route to Singapore for a quarterly summit at Terraform’s headquarters. Looking back, Kwon believes that this confluence of events feels like too much of a coincidence. The timing of the decisive fund transfer and the movements of his advisors were both inside information. In his view, there must have been a leak in his office.</p><p>“The only people that knew that were TFL employees,” Kwon admits when I press him on whether the timing seems more than mere happenstance. His manner of speech is littered with cliffhanger pauses, like he’s stress-testing tomorrow’s news in his head. “So if you&#39;re asking me whether there was a mole at Terraform Labs, that&#39;s probably &#39;yes&#39;.”</p><p>But as he takes care to repeatedly reiterate, this was not the first time that UST had wobbled — it had dipped to 99 cents a few times before, even once briefly dropping below 90 cents the year prior, before quickly regaining its dollar peg. To an “algo stable” veteran, this was just the system working as designed.</p><p>But this time was different because the stakes for Terra were different. And now that its peg was suddenly in question, long-simmering concerns about its viability erupted to the fore.</p><p>In the blood rush of a bull market, it could be easy to forget that UST’s success was always going to be an uphill battle: Every large algorithmic stablecoin that had ever been sold on the open market had eventually crashed to pennies on the dollar. Some were poorly designed, others ineffectively managed. But across the board, all had failed to achieve what lasting success would inevitably require — a real economy of users making purchases with the stablecoin, and the size and scale to justify having one.</p><p>Simply put, for Terra to stand the test of time, yes, UST had to be worth $1. But the real question was, if you had a dollar, why would you want to hold it in UST? To survive in the long run, Terra had to convince us that UST was the best currency on offer — that it was even a better bet than those greenbacks stuffed under our mattresses. So Kwon sought to make his stablecoin attractive not only to crypto insiders already deep in the burgeoning ecosystem of decentralized finance (more commonly known as DeFi), but also to everyday consumers who had no interest in toppling the global economy’s status quo, and just wanted money that was easy to spend.</p><p>On this count, Kwon and his co-founder Shin had an ace up their sleeve: they’d already founded Chai, a digital payments startup that was doing big business in Korea. Chai let people use UST to make purchases without even realizing they were trafficking in crypto — seamless, convenient, and straightforward, not unlike PayPal in the States. The idea that a cryptocurrency was being used in the real world to buy everyday goods was a breakthrough selling point for Terra — it’s what first caught my eye about the project, and what made it stand out from countless rivals. When push comes to shove, the most powerful currencies in crypto have always been legitimacy and trust. And as Chai took off in Korea, Terra had an undeniable competitive advantage.</p><p>But even so, in 2019, growth across the industry slowed to a crawl, and Kwon struggled to hook deep-pocketed investors. &#34;We tried to do another fundraise for Terra in the middle of 2019,” he tells me, arms crossed as he looks out over the Singapore skyline — a grayscale view, perpetually under construction. “And the market was really bad. We actually managed to raise $0.” It was around this time that Kwon bought out Shin’s ownership stake in Terra, leaving Shin free to work on developing Chai on his own.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1e39ae9b4a01a9803de05a3d20df942\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2160\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>&#34;In retrospect, if you were to ask me whether the manner in which some of these comments were conveyed was cringe, yes.&#34;</span></p><p>In the meantime, Kwon had to look elsewhere to jumpstart his nascent economy. His big break would come in March 2021, with the launch of Anchor Savings Protocol — effectively, an automated bank built on Terra’s blockchain. The sales pitch was simple: Deposit your UST stablecoins in Anchor, and it would automatically give you a fixed annual interest rate of nearly 20%.</p><p>As DeFi users flocked to Anchor’s sweetheart rate in droves, LUNAtics began forming communities around the ecosystem. At its peak, over $17 billion was locked in the Anchor protocol, which<u>represented</u>over 70% of UST in circulation. In the process, Anchor rocketed Terra toward the size it would need to become too big to fail — but at the same time, it would also require Kwon to perform the high-wire act of keeping money flowing into the system. The catch was that the 20% yield was not sustainable on its own. (There’s a reason most traditional banks only offer around 1 or 2% interest, and even other stablecoins were dangling rates only half as high).</p><p>But Kwon doesn’t cede an inch on his decision-making here, arguing that he was in fact extremely conservative in his posturing. “The internal consensus of what people wanted to do with the interest rate was several thousand percent APR with Anchor in the beginning,” he counters when I suggest he was asking for trouble. “This was still when DeFi yields were in full bloom, and there were tons of DeFi launches that were targeting stablecoin deposits, offering several hundred percent APRs, several thousand percent APRs.”</p><p>Whatever the points of comparison, the simple fact remains: Anchor wasn’t profitable enough to sustain its 20% yield on its own. As a result, the protocol was reliant on regular cash injections from Terraform Labs to keep the payments flowing. When the anonymous traders struck on May 7, Anchor’s runway was down to only 45 days before it would need another injection of cash. And because this was all playing out on a transparent blockchain,<i>anyone</i>could see the end of the road looming there on the horizon. When a Terra community member proposed a $1 billion top-up in April, Kwon coyly replied: “<u>Sounds low</u>.”</p><p>That’s what made<i>this</i>depegging unique in Terra’s short but stalwart history — by the time UST dipped to 99 cents at center stage, there were already whispers in the rafters, and depositors on Anchor were starting to eye the exits, ready to jump at any sign the protocol might be headed for insolvency. Should that exodus grow from a trickle to a flood, it would risk a death spiral for the currency — akin to a modern-day digital bank run. The May 7 price wobble was precisely the sort of event that makes trigger-happy investors question their assumptions. Meanwhile, Kwon’s critics had been warning of just such a scenario for months.</p><p>But Kwon was prepared for a situation like this — or so he thought. “I’m up  —  amusing morning,” began that same tweet that stuck it to the haters and poors.</p><p>By his own accounting, he would not sleep again for eight days.</p><h2><b>Day 2: $1</b></h2><p>Kwon’s strategy to prevent a death spiral boiled down to the Luna Foundation Guard, a non-profit entity Terra launched in early 2022. Its initials, LFG, double as shorthand for the millennial rallying cry “Let’s Fucking Go.”</p><p>Through LFG, which was staffed with friendly faces from the Terra community, Kwon bought billions of dollars of other cryptocurrencies, mostly Bitcoin, to help prop up UST’s peg during times of turmoil. At its peak, LFG had over<u>$4 billion in reserves</u>, and Kwon had ambitions to grow that number to $10 billion — by some estimates, enough to make LFG the second largest holder of Bitcoin behind its anonymous creator.</p><p>To investors, Kwon billed the creation of LFG as a diplomatic move, meant to build bridges between Terra and other heavyweight blockchains across crypto. “We felt that by adding multiple different types of collaterals, starting with Bitcoin, UST had a real chance to become the decentralized money for all of crypto,” Kwon argues. “Because as UST grows, it’s backed by the economy of all the different chains on which it’s powering apps.”</p><p>Or <u>as he put it</u> more bluntly a few months earlier, before the bottom fell out: With crypto’s other powerhouses bought into Terra’s success, the failure of UST would be “equivalent to the failure of crypto itself.” If Kwon went down, then the whole space would go down with him. The very definition of <i>too big to fail.</i></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11dbe061a81f8876f284e6cf12827852\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2160\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>“You cannot be emotional about markets, right? Markets are dispassionate, and they move the way that they will.&#34;</span></p><p>And so, just before midnight on Sunday, May 8, as sell pressure on UST was mounting, Kwon set Plan A into motion: He began deploying $1.5 billion worth of LFG’s funds to stave off UST’s wobble. From his team’s war room in his Singapore office, Kwon once again<u>flaunted</u>on Twitter just how unfazed he was: “Those of you waiting for the earth to become unstable - I&#39;m afraid you will be waiting until the age of men expires.”</p><p>At least publicly, then, Kwon was his usual confident self. But he also had to be — any sign of weakness would suggest there was good cause to panic. So he tweeted “pegging” jokes, traded barbs with his critics, and generally acted how an overconfident founder would. When I ask him about his use of Twitter throughout Terra’s run, Kwon sits with the question before answering. “I think I developed an entertaining alter ego to match the community that I was engaging with. In retrospect, if you were to ask me whether the manner in which some of these comments were conveyed was cringe, yes.”</p><h2><b>Day 3: 69 cents</b></h2><p>On May 9, UST lost its peg for the second time. Almost immediately, Kwon’s reserves gambit — dipping into Bitcoin to cover his own currency’s slide — spectacularly backfired.</p><p>Instead of breathing a collective sigh of relief at UST’s return to $1, the market panicked at<i>how</i>it had gotten there: The whole point of UST-LUNA’s system was that it was supposed to be self-sufficient. The idea that it needed to tap into reserves of outside currencies seemed to undercut that foundational premise. And once again, those reserves were transparently finite — if they were necessary in times of crisis, then what happened if they ran out, too? If you have to ask the question in the stablecoin world, then you already have your answer. The market’s fears of a second depegging became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not trusting the price to hold, investors rushed to get out while they could — and all those deployed Bitcoin reserves became their exit liquidity.</p><p>As Kwon dumped his rainy day fund on crypto exchanges, hoping to beat back the wave of sellers who were driving down UST’s price, he couldn’t bail himself out fast enough. With the loss of confidence in UST, the price of LUNA began to plummet too, falling from $61 to $27 by day’s end. And the lower the price dipped, the bolder short sellers became, driving down the price further yet — a vicious cycle that Kwon was all but helpless to reverse. Investors couldn’t refresh their screens fast enough; many were unable to cash out as they watched their savings evaporate. Billions were now exiting Anchor by the hour. The death spiral had begun in earnest.</p><p>Naturally, all eyes turned to @stablekwon for answers. But Kwon, who’d been tweeting memes, challenging critics, and<u>declaring</u>“I love chaos” over the past two days, had grown curiously — worryingly — silent. When UST’s price landed at 69 cents, not even Kwon was laughing.</p><p>A full twelve hours after he’d tweeted about LFG’s decision to deploy the $1.5 billion in capital  —  an eye-popping number that would rise to $2.5 billion by day’s end  —  he finally <u>resurfaced</u> with five words that would change countless lives, my own included:</p><p>“Deploying more capital - steady lads.”</p><h2><b>Day 4: 72 cents</b></h2><p>I was a lad. I held steady. I would swiftly pay the price.</p><p>Since it was my job to report on markets, I first came to crypto by way of traditional finance: What would this new technology disrupt, and what actually needed disrupting? Like any inventive frontier, the space had no shortage of provocative ideas in its early years. But time and again, their execution left much to be desired. Scams and frauds aside (of which, yes, there are still all too many), the industry had a preternatural talent for building the very traps it claimed it was here to escape. Like centralized economies, for one: The point of DeFi was to cut out traditional middlemen. But DeFi needed stablecoins to keep the wheels greased, and all those stablecoins were centralized.</p><p>If we’re being ungenerous, we’d call this hypocrisy. But more often, it was just a case of brass-tacks reality catching up to those airy ideals. Because yes, for digital economies to flourish, you needed digital reserve currencies. And for digital reserve currencies to flourish, you needed people to believe they were stable. And what did people believe was stable? The U.S. dollar. And so you’d end up right back where you started.</p><p>But then came Terra: Actually decentralized. Actually used in the real world on Chai. The spitting image of what a functional decentralized currency was actually supposed to look like. I reached out to Kwon for the first time in the spring of 2021. When I<u>interviewed</u>him for the first time, there was at least one question I felt still needed clearing up: How is this not a Ponzi scheme?</p><p>Yet, Kwon’s argument convinced me: A decentralized bank can make money all the ways that a “real” bank can, as long its currencies hold real value. And Terra’s did. Amidst the pomp of a bull market, precious few were raising concerns about Anchor’s high-yield runway. Every day, the ecosystem kept ballooning, proving Kwon’s adage that stablecoins have always been the crypto product with the best market fit. And a<i>decentralized</i>,<i>algorithmic</i>stablecoin? That wasn’t just market fit. It was the ground floor of an economic revolution: The fulfillment of crypto’s foundational mission.</p><p>All through that year and into the next, the market proved Kwon’s thesis right. So by the middle of that week in May, it wasn’t just my investment on the line. It was my conviction that decentralized economies were inevitable, and that Kwon knew how to build one better than anyone on Earth. Logic should have compelled me to hedge my bets to cover potential losses. Had I shorted when I had the chance, I’d have turned a ten-fold profit at the click of a button. But that would have been a bet against Kwon and everything Terra stood for. Markets might not be emotional, but one more disclosure: Sometimes, I am. So when Kwon told us to hold steady, assuring us he had the situation under control, that’s exactly what hundreds of thousands of us did. But UST did not.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29b13142ce227142c1fd2722dc6854d9\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>“I just haven&#39;t found the words to describe what that feels like.&#34;</span></p><p>It was now Day Four of Kwon’s suddenly inescapable nightmare, and he was facing an immense amount of sell pressure from LUNA and UST holders looking to leave the ecosystem, and he was all too aware that LFG’s reserves were nearly depleted. He needed a Plan B, and fast.</p><p>“We decided that putting together additional capital so we’d have resources to be able to fight further would be the smart thing to do,” Kwon tells me, hands clasped on the table like a fallen saint come to repent. “So we started to put together a $2 billion round in the middle of the night. We called our existing investors in LFG. We called a lot of the friends that we had in the industry across multiple desks and large funds. And then, I think we were close to completing the book for that $2 billion round overnight.”</p><p>When I ask if he really pulled eight straight all-nighters, he cocks his head to think it over.</p><p>“So, seven nights. And then, I think I had one burrito.”</p><p>“A burrito?”</p><p>“One burrito. Half a burrito.”</p><p>Such is life with the weight of Terra on your shoulders. But now, “next level euphoric” at their progress in the war room, he once again took to Twitter, <u>declaring</u> he was “close to announcing a recovery plan for $UST. Hang tight.” Then, yet again, radio silence. It was one thing to secure verbal commitments, another for the money to hit the bank. Eight hours later, he reiterated that the plan was still in the works, <u>tweeting</u> “Getting close ... stay strong, lunatics.”</p><p>And then, the news leaked. The Block, an industry news site,<u>reported</u>that LFG was looking to raise fresh capital from large crypto investment firms in order to shore up UST. Kwon had planned to offer these investors a discount on LUNA, but the leak instantly obliterated the deal. “Once the news leaked, we started to see massive shorts pile up against LUNA,” he tells me with surprising equanimity. “So the value of the tokens that we were ready to sell just basically got decimated. It didn&#39;t make sense for people to participate in the round ... Good on [The Block], actually.”</p><p>“For ruining your round?”</p><p>“I mean, it’s all business, so. All good.”</p><p>This is a recurring theme in our conversations: “You cannot be emotional about markets, right? Markets are dispassionate, and they move the way that they will,” he muses. It’s not how I would react if I was sabotaged at the 11th hour on the most important day of my life, but what do I know? “There are probably not too many people that are alive with this type of experience,” Kwon reminds me.</p><p>In the meantime, with LFG’s reserves depleted, and thousands of investors losing faith by the minute, all Kwon could do was watch as UST’s economy was wiped off the market. Even three months later, he’s still grasping to make sense of the moment he realized he’d lost control of the situation. “I just haven&#39;t found the words to describe what that feels like,” he tells me. “I just didn&#39;t think this would happen.”</p><p>Plan A had backfired. Plan B was up in smoke. And Plan C — convince the market to wait for a Plan C — was hurtling out of reach in live time. The mainstream media was starting to take notice as well; that very day, at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called out Terra’s unregulated bank run. (Though Kwon made a point of noting it wasn’t his “place to spell out conspiracy theories,” he couldn’t help but comment on the speed of Yellen’s remarks: “I’m surprised that they were able to put together material for her speech when the thing had started to happen just a few hours earlier.”)</p><h2><b>Day 5: 30 cents</b></h2><p>In the blink of an eye, UST’s peg now seemed a distant memory. LUNA, which had been trading at $80 just days ago, was now unthinkably hovering below $1.</p><p>Stepping back, it was now painfully apparent that tens of billions of dollars had been lost in the Terra ecosystem alone. And its collapse was already having ripple effects across DeFi too. In short order, it would<u>topple</u>a who’s who of<u>overzealous crypto hedge funds</u>, while driving away investors from crypto in droves. Within two months, $800 billion would be wiped off the industry&#39;s<u>total market cap</u>. Against the backdrop of a wider downturn, it&#39;d be unfair to say that Terra started the fire. But it certainly became the lighter fluid that ignited the blaze.</p><p>As market prices plunged to crushing lows, talk of crypto as one big Ponzi scheme was suddenly hitting record highs in mainstream coverage. In one sense, Kwon’s master plan was working like a charm: now that he was going down, all of crypto was going down with him. As backward as it sounds, the scale of the disaster may be our best yardstick for measuring what had been the scale of Kwon’s success.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, before UST was even dead and buried, some started calling Do Kwon the Elizabeth Holmes of Korea — a comparison he struggles with when I bring it up to him. In his view, Theranos lied about its blood testers, which never worked, whereas “[UST] was working beautifully throughout the entire history that it was, and the fact that it was working perfectly was visible in the order books, and was present in all the integrations in the open source and transparent manner of crypto. Until it stopped working.”</p><p>In other words, it worked until it didn’t. In crypto, an industry that is equal parts unregulated and unprecedented, it can be a slippery slope from failure to fraud. And while victims of the crash scavenged for answers as their savings vanished, only more questions emerged.</p><p>By now, the press had had a field day with Kwon’s infamous shitposting. His hubris was the journalistic definition of low-hanging fruit. So when allegations broke of a trail of lies and deceit, the reputational damage was catastrophic.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8db332b051cd8c5b5933d6e4eb03b6d3\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>&#34;I mean, this was essentially my life. And I put my actions where my beliefs are. I bet big, and I think I lost.”</span></p><p>On May 11, with UST hanging on for dear digital life at 30 cents, CoinDesk reported that Kwon <u>had been involved</u> in a prior attempt to create an algorithmic stablecoin called Basis Cash — a failed project that Kwon himself had referenced as proof of why UST was better than anything else that had been on the market. The optics of him scrambling to salvage a<i>failing</i>stablecoin, while omitting his association with a<i>failed</i>stablecoin, would prove the nail in UST’s coffin.</p><p>Three months later — and likely three months too late — Kwon confirms to me for the first time that he was indeed the pseudonymous “Rick Sanchez” of the Basis Cash project, but distances himself from the title of co-founder.</p><p>In the cool reprieve of his unfurnished high-rise apartment, he’s teaching me the computer game<i>StarCraft</i>—his go-to method for stress relief — when he denies that Basis Cash was his idea alone. According to Kwon, five developers he’d hired to work on Anchor had come up with their own idea for an algorithmic stablecoin, which would be run on the Ethereum blockchain. (Everyone on the team had an alias ripped from the cult favorite cartoon<i>Rick and Morty</i>; Kwon’s character, Rick Sanchez, is a mad scientist whose inventions have a knack for spiraling out of control.)</p><p>“I helped them with the initial community building, talking on Telegram a little bit, talking in the voice of what Rick Sanchez would’ve sounded like,” he explains. “It started to do really well. I think the market cap far exceeded LUNA’s right after they launched. So they said, ‘All right, we&#39;re just going to run this.’ And they quit the company and then they started to run it solo.”</p><p>Naturally, critics and investors were quick to call out Kwon for not disclosing his part in the project. But he still sees it differently. “I think bringing the Basis mechanism to light and testing it, especially in a sandbox type of environment before DeFi became very large, was good. I think for a first effort, they did a lot of things right,” he tells me, before quickly adding that their efforts left much to be desired, and that he was critical of their choice to sell their tokens and abandon the project.</p><p>But as it turned out, the Basis Cash debacle was just the beginning of Kwon’s trust troubles.</p><h2><b>Day 6: 15 Cents</b></h2><p>When the system was working in normal times, UST could be freely swapped for LUNA and vice versa; that had always been how UST maintained its peg. But these were anything but normal times. The way the algorithm was designed, more LUNA would be printed to help reset the peg when it wobbled. Except now, the market dynamics were so out of balance that LUNA began printing at immeasurable rates. This led to extreme hyperinflation and the collapse in LUNA’s price.</p><p>LUNA was now so cheap  —  trading for less than one cent  —  that the validators physically running Terra’s blockchain began calling for it to be<u>halted</u>, citing threats to the system’s security. UST was trading at 15 cents when Kwon was left with no choice but to shut it down to prevent a governance attack. The great game was over. His dream was dead.</p><p>But if it sounds like his algorithm broke down in the end, that’s not exactly true — what broke was the economy built atop it. Even to the bitter end, as it tried to print infinite LUNA, Kwon’s algorithm worked exactly as designed.</p><p>The totality of the crash hit LUNAtics especially hard. Two of the top three posts on the /r/TerraLuna subreddit are still about suicide. In other posts, users grappled with the magnitude of the crash as it unfolded (a typical<u>title</u>: “My brain can’t process this is happening for real”). And thoughts on Kwon’s handling of the crash read like a communal diary of spiraling sentiment. One day, he’s a mastermind who knows exactly what he’s doing. The <u>next</u>, “Do Kwon&#39;s arrogance was Terra&#39;s downfall.”</p><p>The blowback was sudden and unsettling. Kwon’s only two requests for our interview were that I avoid filming the faces of his employees or the location of his office, due to the flurry of death threats he’d received. By day six of the crash, a man had broken into his family’s apartment complex and rung their doorbell, forcing his wife to request <u>emergency protection</u> from Seoul police.</p><p>Kwon doesn’t deny that the collapse of Terra caused incalculable pain. “It was brutal,” he tells me. And he counts himself among the victims, claiming to have lost most of his net worth in the crash. “I don&#39;t want to seem like my losses are larger in terms of emotional impact compared to people that had less to go on and then put [in] their entire life savings and then the Terra system went down. But I just want to make it perfectly clear that the way that I thought about Terra and Luna was — I mean, this was essentially my life. And I put my actions where my beliefs are. I bet big, and I think I lost.”</p><p>He’s cagey about where his net worth now stands, a number that would be admittedly difficult to verify. Since crypto wallets start out anonymous, he could always ostensibly be hiding profits in wallets unknown to the public. “The reason why I didn’t want to advertise my wallet addresses is, number one, it&#39;s not going to work. People will just say I have more wallets, right?”</p><p>But he’s unflinching when he asserts he made nothing off UST’s collapse. “I’ve never shorted a cryptocurrency in my life, let alone UST.” And he says that his wife, who runs a Korean hot sauce company, held her own coins “all the way down.” How does she feel about these past few months? As Kwon quotes her telling him, “One of the best and worst things about you is that you go all in on everything.”</p><p>Try as I might to get a number out of him, he declines to elaborate on how much “all in” means in financial terms. “One of the jokes that people tell each other when markets turn bad is [that they’re] ‘down bad’ or ‘down horrendous,’” he says with a wistful smile. “And the word that I use to describe what happened here is ‘down infinite.’”</p><p>So there was no getting around it now: Terra had failed, in plain sight and for all to see. The fatal flaws in Anchor and LFG’s reserves plan were now readily apparent. As it so often does, the market had eaten its own. But as crowdsourced autopsies of Terra’s ecosystem began in earnest, and Kwon’s legal team walked out, an alarming array of red flags seemed to pop up everywhere investors looked.</p><h2><b>Day 90: Down Infinite</b></h2><p>In June, about a month after the collapse, the Wall Street Journal<u>reported</u>that Chai — the real-world use case that Kwon frequently touted as evidence of Terra’s mainstream adoption — had, in fact, ceased its use of UST by the end of 2021. Kwon was still listing the Chai relationship as a selling point as late as March 23, 2022, when he <u>brought it up</u> as a reason to be bullish about Terra on the Pomp Podcast, hosted by crypto investor Anthony Pompliano.</p><p>Kwon assures me he didn’t know that Chai’s usage had been discontinued when he made those claims. “We should have known better about how all of our different products were being used in different places like that,” he concedes.</p><p>Which may well be true. But, put in context, it’s a revelation that seems interesting. Kwon helped found Chai with Daniel Shin. He had sat on Chai’s board. And what’s more — Shin was even the officiant at Kwon’s wedding. That Kwon would not have been aware of Chai’s decision requires a leap of faith.</p><p>Yet, Kwon remains adamant when I press him: “By that point, other things in Terra were so large that I just wasn&#39;t paying attention to Chai very much. But that&#39;s definitely one of those things that we should have picked up on.”</p><p>What Kwon knew and when will be a central question of any investigation into Terra’s collapse. The <u>legal definition</u> of fraud is the deliberate misrepresentation of facts as they’re known at the time, with the intent of inciting people to actions they otherwise would not take and causing harm. Well, the Chai use case was what attracted me to the Terra ecosystem in the first place — had I known the deal was dead, would I have exited my investment before or during the crash?</p><p>Kwon, for one, doesn’t think so. In his mind, Terra was already a sure thing by that juncture, with or without Chai. “I think just psychologically, I had moved on from Chai as a use case, because that business wasn&#39;t growing, whereas, you know, there were dozens of different things that were being built on top of Terra. Tons of integrations like Anchor and Mirror were increasing in usership and things like that.&#34;</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57328367830b1d54c3a76ed16fba5107\" tg-width=\"3840\" tg-height=\"2025\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>&#34;I think what I spend time doing over the next 20 years is going to be more meaningful than what happened over the last six weeks.&#34;</span></p><p>In case you didn’t think there were enough twists and turns in Kwon’s tale: Mirror was an unregulated copy of the stock market built atop Terra’s blockchain, which inevitably got Kwon subpoenaed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In a cavalier Kwon comeback, he responded by<i>suing the SEC</i>for improperly issuing the subpoena. There’s poking the bear, and then there’s challenging the bear to a fistfight.</p><p>At this point, the SEC may be the least of Kwon’s problems. Among the various agencies around the world looking into all things Terra, Korean prosecutors have thus far been the most aggressive. But Kwon says he plans to cooperate when the time comes.</p><p>“In terms of dealing with due process, it&#39;s not a question of what you are prepared to face, it’s a question of how you are going to face them. So what we&#39;re going to do is we&#39;re just going to put out the facts as we know them,” he tells me with trademark confidence.</p><p>When I ask him how he defines fraud, he pauses so long, I feel like I’m the one who might be in trouble. “Well,if you knew something that wasn&#39;t true, and then you argue that that was true for personal enrichment or whatever purpose that might be, then that&#39;s fraud, right?” Pretty spot on, off the cuff. “I think it boils down to a question of whether you wanted to do the right thing.”</p><p>But of course, many investors in Terra are no longer taking Kwon at his word. A number of former Terra users, including one of the loudest, have accused him of<u>extracting $2.7 billion</u>from Terra’s reserves, a claim Kwon<u>flatly denies</u>. “In terms of how much UST [exchanges] were able to buy back, it matches the amount of Bitcoin that we gave them,” he points out. The blockchain may be built for transparency, but that has rarely made the whole truth any easier to find.</p><p>Other allegations, Kwon has little trouble swatting down. Some news organizations reported on the existence of Flexi Corp, a Korean shell company linked to Kwon. With a wave of his hand, he explains that Terraform Labs had three subsidiary corporations in Korea, including Flexi Corp, but when he moved operations to Singapore before the crash, he “wound that entity down.” Other questions have been raised about how much money Terraform Labs was spending on operations through an effort called<u>Project Dawn</u>; of the three million LUNA it let the company unlock per month, Kwon says the coins “were used to meet our obligations to investors and employee vesting. And once again, none of that went to me.”</p><p>In the meantime  —  and as ever in crypto  —  those Ponzi claims continue to linger. In one sense, the argument that Terra was just one big elaborate Ponzi scheme is simple: Anchor promised fixed 20% returns for everyone who bought into the ecosystem. When that became unsustainable, everything crashed.</p><p>On the other hand, this kind of “Ponzi-nomics” has long been actively debated in the crypto sphere. Plenty of traditional businesses use VC cash to subsidize everything from free lunches and taxi rides to subscriptions and movie tickets in order to gain a loyal customer base, raising prices or reducing benefits once they’ve established themselves as an essential part of our lives. Terra was arguably doing the same by subsidizing Anchor, and it worked as intended for years. Until, of course, it didn’t.</p><p>For what it’s worth, Kwon makes a point of accepting responsibility for the crash. “I, and I alone, am responsible for any weaknesses that could have been presented for a short seller to start to take profit. The blame is on the person that presented those vulnerabilities in the first place,” he said. “That’s me.”</p><p>Even so, that likely won’t satisfy the Korean justice system, which also appears intensely interested in making sense of Terra’s collapse. In between my two days of interviews with Kwon in Singapore, Korean authorities <u>raided his cofounder Daniel Shin’s home</u>, as well as Korean cryptocurrency exchanges that held UST-LUNA on the books.</p><p>When I ask if he’s thinking about going back to Korea, he’s noncommittal. “It&#39;s kind of hard to make that decision, because we&#39;ve never been in touch with the investigators. They&#39;ve never charged us with anything. They haven&#39;t reached out to us at all.”</p><p>Again, his casual calmness surprises me. When I float the prospect of jail time, he doesn’t miss a beat: “Life is long.”</p><p>And his new lawyers? How do they feel about our conversation? Kwon all but laughs. “I mean, no lawyer is going to be happy.”</p><p>As investigators and armchair detectives circle the case, regulators around the world are also now taking a closer look at stablecoins in the wake of Terra’s collapse. Under <u>new rules</u> passed in the EU known as MiCA, stablecoins like Tether and USDC will have to maintain an ample reserve backing to ward off death spirals like Terra’s. And in the U.S., <u>some lawmakers</u> hope to have a new federal regulation passed by the end of the year.</p><h2><b>Day 0</b></h2><p>In the meantime, Do Kwon is already trying again. Shortly after the crash, he launched Terra 2.0 — his swift attempt to start rebuilding his crypto empire, though this time with no algorithmic stablecoin attached. The new coin launched on May 28, and traded as high as $11 in the days that followed, though its price currently sits around $2. Million of dollars of “LUNA Classic” still trades hands every day, and some loyal developers are still building on the platform. But activity on its <u>official forum</u> remains sparse.</p><p>“In terms of the future of Terra 2.0, one of the things that I&#39;m banking on is a lot of the core of the community that was built up during the crash. I think they are primed to launch interesting things on top of 2.0 independent of the things that we do,” Kwon tells me, as enthusiastic as I’ve seen him. “I&#39;m always going to be doing things on Terra and for the Terra community. This is my home and this is where I feel like there&#39;s the brightest future.”</p><p>Some rival blockchains have attempted to hire away developers who worked on Terra, including Polygon and Kadena, which both <u>announced millions</u> in funding dedicated to poaching top talent. Kwon claims “most of Terraform Labs is still intact. We lost a lot of executives during the crash, but in terms of the overall headcount, we lost a total of two devs.”</p><p>Beyond the collapse of Terra itself, there’s no chart I can point to revealing what remains of the market’s trust in Do Kwon. Its implosion caused many of us to lose incredible sums of money — almost certainly driving some away from the Terra ecosystem forever, if not the rest of crypto, too. Yet Kwon’s new venture will have to rely almost entirely on trust — both in him and in the resuscitated Terra ecosystem — in order to successfully rebuild. When asked about upcoming projects launching on Terra 2.0, Kwon was optimistic but sparing with details. “I would rather just leave these [upcoming products] to be a surprise.

He had a million followers on Twitter. And he commanded a sprawling crypto empire nearing $100 billion in value, which had seemed to explode from obscurity to ubiquity overnight.If there were a Mt. Rushmore of crypto, Kwon’s face would have been half-chiseled into stone by May of this year. And one of those faces would have been an anonymous slab in a hoodie, so that’s saying something. His algorithmic stablecoin “UST,” created by his company Terraform Labs (TFL), had crypto’s most coveted investors lining up to give him their money.The Terra ecosystem’s astronomical growth was unprecedented. If it survived the crucible of early adoption, it was poised to become the backbone of the entire decentralized economy — “crypto’s reserve currency,” as the pitch tended to go. UST would do this by performing one deceptively simple job: always be worth one dollar, and in doing so, give crypto a less volatile medium of exchange than standard bearers like bitcoin.To keep UST’s price steady, Kwon designed a companion coin, LUNA, which he programmed to have a balancing effect on UST’s price. If demand for UST went up or down, then Kwon’s algorithm would adjust the supply of LUNA accordingly, until market forces drove UST back to $1. Zoom all the way out, and if UST maintained that dollar peg long enough, then Kwon would become the man at the center of the coin at the center of a multi-trillion dollar industry.And he wasn’t shy about his breakneck success. He might have been a versatile engineer, but shame was not in his repertoire. Some of his tweets could make Elon Musk blush: He referred to his critics as “poors.” He mocked journalists and taunted regulators. And he danced on the graves of his competitors with palpable delight.He made a show of walking the walk, too — his wardrobe of a half-dozen faded t-shirts made Zuck look like a fashionista, and his upright, 6’2” frame exuded the confidence of a fox in a henhouse. At the age of 30, he played the part of wunderkind visionary with more panache than a hype man at a Cupertino keynote.Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, sits down for an exclusive interview with Coinage at his company's office in Singapore.From the outside, success at such a dizzying scale always has a way of feeling like it happens overnight. One day, you’ve never heard of the smirking Stanford grad from South Korea; the next, he’s everywhere — a force that must be reckoned with anywhere that crypto must be reckoned with. But behind the scenes, Kwon had been quietly laying the groundwork for his meteoric rise for nearly five years. From the comfort of his keyboard, he’d created a new blockchain, invented a new currency, and raised a small and fiercely loyal army of developers (you can’t launch a financial revolution without revolutionaries, of course). In crypto these days, that means shooting the shit under pseudonyms on Discord, parlaying with hackers on Telegram, and reeling in institutional investors one by one, until blue-chip billionaires start getting FOMO and maneuver to dive in headfirst.Skeptics could always nitpick, but from afar, everything in Kwon’s playbook didn’t just look like it was going to plan — at every turn, he seemed to exceed expectations. He also made a habit of putting his money where his mouth was, and his family’s legacy too: when he and his wife welcomed their first child in April, they christened her Luna. “My dearest creation named after my greatest invention,” heannouncedon Twitter. To say he was all in was an understatement. He actively positioned himself to either go down as a genius or an egomaniac. Or just as likely, both.But that was Kwon’s great appeal as a salesman: Bold, brash, and brilliant, a man who was untouchable in all the most entertaining ways. His legion of followers called themselves LUNAtics. Analysts called him the most important man in crypto. At least one of those billionaire backers went so far as to get a regrettable LUNA tattoo. His cockiness? All in good fun, and proven out by the numbers. His caginess? A great man need not suffer fools nor haters — in online discourse, there’s no such thing as too clever by half.So it was little surprise his investors hailed from all over the world, united by the Big Idea at the heart of Terra’s triumph: “A decentralized economy needs decentralized money.” Or put another way, for those who haven’t been crypto-pilled: For crypto to work, UST-LUNA has to work. And it will only work if enough of us trust that it will.But then one day, it didn’t.With breathtaking speed, Terra’s fairytale rise would prove too good to be true — and would only be outdone by the nightmarish theatrics of its fall. Over one week in May, the market’s trust in Do Kwon went to zero, and UST cratered with it as LUNA crashed back to Earth. By month’s end, over $45 billion had evaporated from Terra’s ecosystem, andmore than $80 billionfrom all crypto markets in the fallout. Just like that, Kwon’s empire had crumbled to dust.In the hazy aftermath, investors who watched their life savings disappear have been left with more questions than answers. Lives have been ruined, fortunes lost, and there have been reports of suicides. Meanwhile, Kwon and his company are now the subjects of multiple class-action lawsuits, and some in the press have dubbed him “crypto’s Elizabeth Holmes.” Last month, investigators in Korea raided the home of his co-founder Daniel Shin. And as authorities build a possible case against Terraform Labs in Kwon’s home country, his employees attached to the project have been put on Korea’s no-fly list.But Kwon hasn’t been in Korea for months — he’s in Singapore, still trying to process exactly how everything went so bad, so fast. He meets me in a casual hot pot joint near his office, wearing shorts and knockoff Birkenstocks to survive the unyielding heat of a Singapore summer. Everywhere I look, something’s reaching a boiling point.I’d been chasing this interview for three months now, since the week of Terra’s collapse. So had others, Kwon tells me. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, even a couple Netflix documentaries. When Kwon finally agreed to go on the record, I took the first flight out from New York I could get.As a reporter, there is little more terrifying than the sense you may be too close to a story; this one requires more disclosures than any I’ve reported in my life. When Kwon was at the pinnacle of his powers last year, Terraform Labs became an investor in Coinage’s parent company. Meanwhile, I had previously bought UST and LUNA tokens, and held both all the way through the crash. Which is to say: I lost almost everything that week as well. On several occasions over those fateful few days, I’d even passed up the chance to hedge my bets, because, like hundreds of thousands of others, I believed in what Terra was building, and believed Kwon when he said it would work.To be sure, I had only myself to blame for my investment choices — indeed, I knew Terra’s risks better than most. Or at least, I liked to think I did. It’s one thing to buy the dream, another to live the reality. And somewhere in the shuffle, I’d lost a small fortune literally buying what Kwon had been selling.That’s why I don’t see it coming when Kwon throws back the last of his drink, as exhausted as I’ve ever seen him, and hitsmewith a question before he’ll start leaking answers: “What would you have done differently?”Well, if we’re going there — where to begin?Day 1: 99 CentsThe trade was perfectly timed. An anonymous actor, orpossibly two, knew exactly how and when to strike against Kwon’s miracle machine. To many, its algorithm appeared invincible — it had just catapulted Terra from far-flung message boards to one of crypto’s top 10 projects by market cap, after all. But behind the curtain, if you knew where to look, there lurked a glaring flaw.Unlike other stablecoins, which are designed to be backed by cold hard cash, UST was “algorithmic,” which meant that it had no suchrealbackstop in the physical world. This approach was riskier, sure. But it also meant that if Terra was successful, crypto would finally have a reliable currency that was truly and completely independent of the old financial system.So instead, UST kept its $1 peg through its algorithm, allowing users to freely trade between UST and LUNA. In effect, buying LUNA was a pure bet on the adoption of UST: The more people bought UST, the more LUNA the algorithm would burn to keep UST at $1. And that would in turn drive up the price of LUNA. In a market as complex as crypto’s, Kwon’s masterstroke was a tantalizingly simple investment thesis — if you thought UST’s use would continue to grow, then you bought LUNA. So, I bought LUNA.As recently as 2021, LUNA was trading for as low as 63 cents. At its peak in April of this year, it was going for $119. The day before everything went to hell, it was still sitting comfortably near $80.And just as designed, as LUNA soared, UST stayed stable. Until it didn’t.Do Kwon working from Terraform Labs's office in Singapore.On the night of May 7, 2022, Terraform labs executed an unannounced transfer of funds between trading pools. Thirteen minutes later, the untraceable traders pounced on this brief window of vulnerability, selling off nearly $200 million worth of UST at the exact same time.“I was in Singapore,” Kwon recounts from his noticeably sparse downtown office. “I woke up in the morning and the Curve pool was imbalanced because somebody had done a very large trade … Twitter was alight with speculation about UST. And my first reaction is, you know, this has happened before … I talked to a few people on Twitter, I got back to a few Telegram messages and, you know, didn't take too much action at that point.”As more and more UST was swapped out for other currencies, the trading pool became unbalanced, which caused the value of UST to wobble from $1 to 99 cents. Which might not sound like a lot, on its face. But again, UST only had that one job:always be worth one dollar. No more, no less.The wobble quickly caught the attention of traders. “The sentiment on Twitter started to get worse,” Kwon recalls, putting it lightly. “And then there started to be more people that were trading against the Curve pools.” In an attempt to allay fears, Kwon brusquelytook to Twitter, where he goes by @stablekwon: “Anon, you could listen to [Crypto Twitter] influensooors about UST depegging for the 69th time. Or you could remember they’re all now poor, and go for a run instead.”But behind the scenes, the situation was more complicated than he was letting on. His executive team was out of commission at the time of the attack — they were all up in the air, en route to Singapore for a quarterly summit at Terraform’s headquarters. Looking back, Kwon believes that this confluence of events feels like too much of a coincidence. The timing of the decisive fund transfer and the movements of his advisors were both inside information. In his view, there must have been a leak in his office.“The only people that knew that were TFL employees,” Kwon admits when I press him on whether the timing seems more than mere happenstance. His manner of speech is littered with cliffhanger pauses, like he’s stress-testing tomorrow’s news in his head. “So if you're asking me whether there was a mole at Terraform Labs, that's probably 'yes'.”But as he takes care to repeatedly reiterate, this was not the first time that UST had wobbled — it had dipped to 99 cents a few times before, even once briefly dropping below 90 cents the year prior, before quickly regaining its dollar peg. To an “algo stable” veteran, this was just the system working as designed.But this time was different because the stakes for Terra were different. And now that its peg was suddenly in question, long-simmering concerns about its viability erupted to the fore.In the blood rush of a bull market, it could be easy to forget that UST’s success was always going to be an uphill battle: Every large algorithmic stablecoin that had ever been sold on the open market had eventually crashed to pennies on the dollar. Some were poorly designed, others ineffectively managed. But across the board, all had failed to achieve what lasting success would inevitably require — a real economy of users making purchases with the stablecoin, and the size and scale to justify having one.Simply put, for Terra to stand the test of time, yes, UST had to be worth $1. But the real question was, if you had a dollar, why would you want to hold it in UST? To survive in the long run, Terra had to convince us that UST was the best currency on offer — that it was even a better bet than those greenbacks stuffed under our mattresses. So Kwon sought to make his stablecoin attractive not only to crypto insiders already deep in the burgeoning ecosystem of decentralized finance (more commonly known as DeFi), but also to everyday consumers who had no interest in toppling the global economy’s status quo, and just wanted money that was easy to spend.On this count, Kwon and his co-founder Shin had an ace up their sleeve: they’d already founded Chai, a digital payments startup that was doing big business in Korea. Chai let people use UST to make purchases without even realizing they were trafficking in crypto — seamless, convenient, and straightforward, not unlike PayPal in the States. The idea that a cryptocurrency was being used in the real world to buy everyday goods was a breakthrough selling point for Terra — it’s what first caught my eye about the project, and what made it stand out from countless rivals. When push comes to shove, the most powerful currencies in crypto have always been legitimacy and trust. And as Chai took off in Korea, Terra had an undeniable competitive advantage.But even so, in 2019, growth across the industry slowed to a crawl, and Kwon struggled to hook deep-pocketed investors. \"We tried to do another fundraise for Terra in the middle of 2019,” he tells me, arms crossed as he looks out over the Singapore skyline — a grayscale view, perpetually under construction. “And the market was really bad. We actually managed to raise $0.” It was around this time that Kwon bought out Shin’s ownership stake in Terra, leaving Shin free to work on developing Chai on his own.\"In retrospect, if you were to ask me whether the manner in which some of these comments were conveyed was cringe, yes.\"In the meantime, Kwon had to look elsewhere to jumpstart his nascent economy. His big break would come in March 2021, with the launch of Anchor Savings Protocol — effectively, an automated bank built on Terra’s blockchain. The sales pitch was simple: Deposit your UST stablecoins in Anchor, and it would automatically give you a fixed annual interest rate of nearly 20%.As DeFi users flocked to Anchor’s sweetheart rate in droves, LUNAtics began forming communities around the ecosystem. At its peak, over $17 billion was locked in the Anchor protocol, whichrepresentedover 70% of UST in circulation. In the process, Anchor rocketed Terra toward the size it would need to become too big to fail — but at the same time, it would also require Kwon to perform the high-wire act of keeping money flowing into the system. The catch was that the 20% yield was not sustainable on its own. (There’s a reason most traditional banks only offer around 1 or 2% interest, and even other stablecoins were dangling rates only half as high).But Kwon doesn’t cede an inch on his decision-making here, arguing that he was in fact extremely conservative in his posturing. “The internal consensus of what people wanted to do with the interest rate was several thousand percent APR with Anchor in the beginning,” he counters when I suggest he was asking for trouble. “This was still when DeFi yields were in full bloom, and there were tons of DeFi launches that were targeting stablecoin deposits, offering several hundred percent APRs, several thousand percent APRs.”Whatever the points of comparison, the simple fact remains: Anchor wasn’t profitable enough to sustain its 20% yield on its own. As a result, the protocol was reliant on regular cash injections from Terraform Labs to keep the payments flowing. When the anonymous traders struck on May 7, Anchor’s runway was down to only 45 days before it would need another injection of cash. And because this was all playing out on a transparent blockchain,anyonecould see the end of the road looming there on the horizon. When a Terra community member proposed a $1 billion top-up in April, Kwon coyly replied: “Sounds low.”That’s what madethisdepegging unique in Terra’s short but stalwart history — by the time UST dipped to 99 cents at center stage, there were already whispers in the rafters, and depositors on Anchor were starting to eye the exits, ready to jump at any sign the protocol might be headed for insolvency. Should that exodus grow from a trickle to a flood, it would risk a death spiral for the currency — akin to a modern-day digital bank run. The May 7 price wobble was precisely the sort of event that makes trigger-happy investors question their assumptions. Meanwhile, Kwon’s critics had been warning of just such a scenario for months.But Kwon was prepared for a situation like this — or so he thought. “I’m up  —  amusing morning,” began that same tweet that stuck it to the haters and poors.By his own accounting, he would not sleep again for eight days.Day 2: $1Kwon’s strategy to prevent a death spiral boiled down to the Luna Foundation Guard, a non-profit entity Terra launched in early 2022. Its initials, LFG, double as shorthand for the millennial rallying cry “Let’s Fucking Go.”Through LFG, which was staffed with friendly faces from the Terra community, Kwon bought billions of dollars of other cryptocurrencies, mostly Bitcoin, to help prop up UST’s peg during times of turmoil. At its peak, LFG had over$4 billion in reserves, and Kwon had ambitions to grow that number to $10 billion — by some estimates, enough to make LFG the second largest holder of Bitcoin behind its anonymous creator.To investors, Kwon billed the creation of LFG as a diplomatic move, meant to build bridges between Terra and other heavyweight blockchains across crypto. “We felt that by adding multiple different types of collaterals, starting with Bitcoin, UST had a real chance to become the decentralized money for all of crypto,” Kwon argues. “Because as UST grows, it’s backed by the economy of all the different chains on which it’s powering apps.”Or as he put it more bluntly a few months earlier, before the bottom fell out: With crypto’s other powerhouses bought into Terra’s success, the failure of UST would be “equivalent to the failure of crypto itself.” If Kwon went down, then the whole space would go down with him. The very definition of too big to fail.“You cannot be emotional about markets, right? Markets are dispassionate, and they move the way that they will.\"And so, just before midnight on Sunday, May 8, as sell pressure on UST was mounting, Kwon set Plan A into motion: He began deploying $1.5 billion worth of LFG’s funds to stave off UST’s wobble. From his team’s war room in his Singapore office, Kwon once againflauntedon Twitter just how unfazed he was: “Those of you waiting for the earth to become unstable - I'm afraid you will be waiting until the age of men expires.”At least publicly, then, Kwon was his usual confident self. But he also had to be — any sign of weakness would suggest there was good cause to panic. So he tweeted “pegging” jokes, traded barbs with his critics, and generally acted how an overconfident founder would. When I ask him about his use of Twitter throughout Terra’s run, Kwon sits with the question before answering. “I think I developed an entertaining alter ego to match the community that I was engaging with. In retrospect, if you were to ask me whether the manner in which some of these comments were conveyed was cringe, yes.”Day 3: 69 centsOn May 9, UST lost its peg for the second time. Almost immediately, Kwon’s reserves gambit — dipping into Bitcoin to cover his own currency’s slide — spectacularly backfired.Instead of breathing a collective sigh of relief at UST’s return to $1, the market panicked athowit had gotten there: The whole point of UST-LUNA’s system was that it was supposed to be self-sufficient. The idea that it needed to tap into reserves of outside currencies seemed to undercut that foundational premise. And once again, those reserves were transparently finite — if they were necessary in times of crisis, then what happened if they ran out, too? If you have to ask the question in the stablecoin world, then you already have your answer. The market’s fears of a second depegging became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not trusting the price to hold, investors rushed to get out while they could — and all those deployed Bitcoin reserves became their exit liquidity.As Kwon dumped his rainy day fund on crypto exchanges, hoping to beat back the wave of sellers who were driving down UST’s price, he couldn’t bail himself out fast enough. With the loss of confidence in UST, the price of LUNA began to plummet too, falling from $61 to $27 by day’s end. And the lower the price dipped, the bolder short sellers became, driving down the price further yet — a vicious cycle that Kwon was all but helpless to reverse. Investors couldn’t refresh their screens fast enough; many were unable to cash out as they watched their savings evaporate. Billions were now exiting Anchor by the hour. The death spiral had begun in earnest.Naturally, all eyes turned to @stablekwon for answers. But Kwon, who’d been tweeting memes, challenging critics, anddeclaring“I love chaos” over the past two days, had grown curiously — worryingly — silent. When UST’s price landed at 69 cents, not even Kwon was laughing.A full twelve hours after he’d tweeted about LFG’s decision to deploy the $1.5 billion in capital  —  an eye-popping number that would rise to $2.5 billion by day’s end  —  he finally resurfaced with five words that would change countless lives, my own included:“Deploying more capital - steady lads.”Day 4: 72 centsI was a lad. I held steady. I would swiftly pay the price.Since it was my job to report on markets, I first came to crypto by way of traditional finance: What would this new technology disrupt, and what actually needed disrupting? Like any inventive frontier, the space had no shortage of provocative ideas in its early years. But time and again, their execution left much to be desired. Scams and frauds aside (of which, yes, there are still all too many), the industry had a preternatural talent for building the very traps it claimed it was here to escape. Like centralized economies, for one: The point of DeFi was to cut out traditional middlemen. But DeFi needed stablecoins to keep the wheels greased, and all those stablecoins were centralized.If we’re being ungenerous, we’d call this hypocrisy. But more often, it was just a case of brass-tacks reality catching up to those airy ideals. Because yes, for digital economies to flourish, you needed digital reserve currencies. And for digital reserve currencies to flourish, you needed people to believe they were stable. And what did people believe was stable? The U.S. dollar. And so you’d end up right back where you started.But then came Terra: Actually decentralized. Actually used in the real world on Chai. The spitting image of what a functional decentralized currency was actually supposed to look like. I reached out to Kwon for the first time in the spring of 2021. When Iinterviewedhim for the first time, there was at least one question I felt still needed clearing up: How is this not a Ponzi scheme?Yet, Kwon’s argument convinced me: A decentralized bank can make money all the ways that a “real” bank can, as long its currencies hold real value. And Terra’s did. Amidst the pomp of a bull market, precious few were raising concerns about Anchor’s high-yield runway. Every day, the ecosystem kept ballooning, proving Kwon’s adage that stablecoins have always been the crypto product with the best market fit. And adecentralized,algorithmicstablecoin? That wasn’t just market fit. It was the ground floor of an economic revolution: The fulfillment of crypto’s foundational mission.All through that year and into the next, the market proved Kwon’s thesis right. So by the middle of that week in May, it wasn’t just my investment on the line. It was my conviction that decentralized economies were inevitable, and that Kwon knew how to build one better than anyone on Earth. Logic should have compelled me to hedge my bets to cover potential losses. Had I shorted when I had the chance, I’d have turned a ten-fold profit at the click of a button. But that would have been a bet against Kwon and everything Terra stood for. Markets might not be emotional, but one more disclosure: Sometimes, I am. So when Kwon told us to hold steady, assuring us he had the situation under control, that’s exactly what hundreds of thousands of us did. But UST did not.“I just haven't found the words to describe what that feels like.\"It was now Day Four of Kwon’s suddenly inescapable nightmare, and he was facing an immense amount of sell pressure from LUNA and UST holders looking to leave the ecosystem, and he was all too aware that LFG’s reserves were nearly depleted. He needed a Plan B, and fast.“We decided that putting together additional capital so we’d have resources to be able to fight further would be the smart thing to do,” Kwon tells me, hands clasped on the table like a fallen saint come to repent. “So we started to put together a $2 billion round in the middle of the night. We called our existing investors in LFG. We called a lot of the friends that we had in the industry across multiple desks and large funds. And then, I think we were close to completing the book for that $2 billion round overnight.”When I ask if he really pulled eight straight all-nighters, he cocks his head to think it over.“So, seven nights. And then, I think I had one burrito.”“A burrito?”“One burrito. Half a burrito.”Such is life with the weight of Terra on your shoulders. But now, “next level euphoric” at their progress in the war room, he once again took to Twitter, declaring he was “close to announcing a recovery plan for $UST. Hang tight.” Then, yet again, radio silence. It was one thing to secure verbal commitments, another for the money to hit the bank. Eight hours later, he reiterated that the plan was still in the works, tweeting “Getting close ... stay strong, lunatics.”And then, the news leaked. The Block, an industry news site,reportedthat LFG was looking to raise fresh capital from large crypto investment firms in order to shore up UST. Kwon had planned to offer these investors a discount on LUNA, but the leak instantly obliterated the deal. “Once the news leaked, we started to see massive shorts pile up against LUNA,” he tells me with surprising equanimity. “So the value of the tokens that we were ready to sell just basically got decimated. It didn't make sense for people to participate in the round ... Good on [The Block], actually.”“For ruining your round?”“I mean, it’s all business, so. All good.”This is a recurring theme in our conversations: “You cannot be emotional about markets, right? Markets are dispassionate, and they move the way that they will,” he muses. It’s not how I would react if I was sabotaged at the 11th hour on the most important day of my life, but what do I know? “There are probably not too many people that are alive with this type of experience,” Kwon reminds me.In the meantime, with LFG’s reserves depleted, and thousands of investors losing faith by the minute, all Kwon could do was watch as UST’s economy was wiped off the market. Even three months later, he’s still grasping to make sense of the moment he realized he’d lost control of the situation. “I just haven't found the words to describe what that feels like,” he tells me. “I just didn't think this would happen.”Plan A had backfired. Plan B was up in smoke. And Plan C — convince the market to wait for a Plan C — was hurtling out of reach in live time. The mainstream media was starting to take notice as well; that very day, at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called out Terra’s unregulated bank run. (Though Kwon made a point of noting it wasn’t his “place to spell out conspiracy theories,” he couldn’t help but comment on the speed of Yellen’s remarks: “I’m surprised that they were able to put together material for her speech when the thing had started to happen just a few hours earlier.”)Day 5: 30 centsIn the blink of an eye, UST’s peg now seemed a distant memory. LUNA, which had been trading at $80 just days ago, was now unthinkably hovering below $1.Stepping back, it was now painfully apparent that tens of billions of dollars had been lost in the Terra ecosystem alone. And its collapse was already having ripple effects across DeFi too. In short order, it wouldtopplea who’s who ofoverzealous crypto hedge funds, while driving away investors from crypto in droves. Within two months, $800 billion would be wiped off the industry'stotal market cap. Against the backdrop of a wider downturn, it'd be unfair to say that Terra started the fire. But it certainly became the lighter fluid that ignited the blaze.As market prices plunged to crushing lows, talk of crypto as one big Ponzi scheme was suddenly hitting record highs in mainstream coverage. In one sense, Kwon’s master plan was working like a charm: now that he was going down, all of crypto was going down with him. As backward as it sounds, the scale of the disaster may be our best yardstick for measuring what had been the scale of Kwon’s success.Unsurprisingly, before UST was even dead and buried, some started calling Do Kwon the Elizabeth Holmes of Korea — a comparison he struggles with when I bring it up to him. In his view, Theranos lied about its blood testers, which never worked, whereas “[UST] was working beautifully throughout the entire history that it was, and the fact that it was working perfectly was visible in the order books, and was present in all the integrations in the open source and transparent manner of crypto. Until it stopped working.”In other words, it worked until it didn’t. In crypto, an industry that is equal parts unregulated and unprecedented, it can be a slippery slope from failure to fraud. And while victims of the crash scavenged for answers as their savings vanished, only more questions emerged.By now, the press had had a field day with Kwon’s infamous shitposting. His hubris was the journalistic definition of low-hanging fruit. So when allegations broke of a trail of lies and deceit, the reputational damage was catastrophic.\"I mean, this was essentially my life. And I put my actions where my beliefs are. I bet big, and I think I lost.”On May 11, with UST hanging on for dear digital life at 30 cents, CoinDesk reported that Kwon had been involved in a prior attempt to create an algorithmic stablecoin called Basis Cash — a failed project that Kwon himself had referenced as proof of why UST was better than anything else that had been on the market. The optics of him scrambling to salvage afailingstablecoin, while omitting his association with afailedstablecoin, would prove the nail in UST’s coffin.Three months later — and likely three months too late — Kwon confirms to me for the first time that he was indeed the pseudonymous “Rick Sanchez” of the Basis Cash project, but distances himself from the title of co-founder.In the cool reprieve of his unfurnished high-rise apartment, he’s teaching me the computer gameStarCraft—his go-to method for stress relief — when he denies that Basis Cash was his idea alone. According to Kwon, five developers he’d hired to work on Anchor had come up with their own idea for an algorithmic stablecoin, which would be run on the Ethereum blockchain. (Everyone on the team had an alias ripped from the cult favorite cartoonRick and Morty; Kwon’s character, Rick Sanchez, is a mad scientist whose inventions have a knack for spiraling out of control.)“I helped them with the initial community building, talking on Telegram a little bit, talking in the voice of what Rick Sanchez would’ve sounded like,” he explains. “It started to do really well. I think the market cap far exceeded LUNA’s right after they launched. So they said, ‘All right, we're just going to run this.’ And they quit the company and then they started to run it solo.”Naturally, critics and investors were quick to call out Kwon for not disclosing his part in the project. But he still sees it differently. “I think bringing the Basis mechanism to light and testing it, especially in a sandbox type of environment before DeFi became very large, was good. I think for a first effort, they did a lot of things right,” he tells me, before quickly adding that their efforts left much to be desired, and that he was critical of their choice to sell their tokens and abandon the project.But as it turned out, the Basis Cash debacle was just the beginning of Kwon’s trust troubles.Day 6: 15 CentsWhen the system was working in normal times, UST could be freely swapped for LUNA and vice versa; that had always been how UST maintained its peg. But these were anything but normal times. The way the algorithm was designed, more LUNA would be printed to help reset the peg when it wobbled. Except now, the market dynamics were so out of balance that LUNA began printing at immeasurable rates. This led to extreme hyperinflation and the collapse in LUNA’s price.LUNA was now so cheap  —  trading for less than one cent  —  that the validators physically running Terra’s blockchain began calling for it to behalted, citing threats to the system’s security. UST was trading at 15 cents when Kwon was left with no choice but to shut it down to prevent a governance attack. The great game was over. His dream was dead.But if it sounds like his algorithm broke down in the end, that’s not exactly true — what broke was the economy built atop it. Even to the bitter end, as it tried to print infinite LUNA, Kwon’s algorithm worked exactly as designed.The totality of the crash hit LUNAtics especially hard. Two of the top three posts on the /r/TerraLuna subreddit are still about suicide. In other posts, users grappled with the magnitude of the crash as it unfolded (a typicaltitle: “My brain can’t process this is happening for real”). And thoughts on Kwon’s handling of the crash read like a communal diary of spiraling sentiment. One day, he’s a mastermind who knows exactly what he’s doing. The next, “Do Kwon's arrogance was Terra's downfall.”The blowback was sudden and unsettling. Kwon’s only two requests for our interview were that I avoid filming the faces of his employees or the location of his office, due to the flurry of death threats he’d received. By day six of the crash, a man had broken into his family’s apartment complex and rung their doorbell, forcing his wife to request emergency protection from Seoul police.Kwon doesn’t deny that the collapse of Terra caused incalculable pain. “It was brutal,” he tells me. And he counts himself among the victims, claiming to have lost most of his net worth in the crash. “I don't want to seem like my losses are larger in terms of emotional impact compared to people that had less to go on and then put [in] their entire life savings and then the Terra system went down. But I just want to make it perfectly clear that the way that I thought about Terra and Luna was — I mean, this was essentially my life. And I put my actions where my beliefs are. I bet big, and I think I lost.”He’s cagey about where his net worth now stands, a number that would be admittedly difficult to verify. Since crypto wallets start out anonymous, he could always ostensibly be hiding profits in wallets unknown to the public. “The reason why I didn’t want to advertise my wallet addresses is, number one, it's not going to work. People will just say I have more wallets, right?”But he’s unflinching when he asserts he made nothing off UST’s collapse. “I’ve never shorted a cryptocurrency in my life, let alone UST.” And he says that his wife, who runs a Korean hot sauce company, held her own coins “all the way down.” How does she feel about these past few months? As Kwon quotes her telling him, “One of the best and worst things about you is that you go all in on everything.”Try as I might to get a number out of him, he declines to elaborate on how much “all in” means in financial terms. “One of the jokes that people tell each other when markets turn bad is [that they’re] ‘down bad’ or ‘down horrendous,’” he says with a wistful smile. “And the word that I use to describe what happened here is ‘down infinite.’”So there was no getting around it now: Terra had failed, in plain sight and for all to see. The fatal flaws in Anchor and LFG’s reserves plan were now readily apparent. As it so often does, the market had eaten its own. But as crowdsourced autopsies of Terra’s ecosystem began in earnest, and Kwon’s legal team walked out, an alarming array of red flags seemed to pop up everywhere investors looked.Day 90: Down InfiniteIn June, about a month after the collapse, the Wall Street Journalreportedthat Chai — the real-world use case that Kwon frequently touted as evidence of Terra’s mainstream adoption — had, in fact, ceased its use of UST by the end of 2021. Kwon was still listing the Chai relationship as a selling point as late as March 23, 2022, when he brought it up as a reason to be bullish about Terra on the Pomp Podcast, hosted by crypto investor Anthony Pompliano.Kwon assures me he didn’t know that Chai’s usage had been discontinued when he made those claims. “We should have known better about how all of our different products were being used in different places like that,” he concedes.Which may well be true. But, put in context, it’s a revelation that seems interesting. Kwon helped found Chai with Daniel Shin. He had sat on Chai’s board. And what’s more — Shin was even the officiant at Kwon’s wedding. That Kwon would not have been aware of Chai’s decision requires a leap of faith.Yet, Kwon remains adamant when I press him: “By that point, other things in Terra were so large that I just wasn't paying attention to Chai very much. But that's definitely one of those things that we should have picked up on.”What Kwon knew and when will be a central question of any investigation into Terra’s collapse. The legal definition of fraud is the deliberate misrepresentation of facts as they’re known at the time, with the intent of inciting people to actions they otherwise would not take and causing harm. Well, the Chai use case was what attracted me to the Terra ecosystem in the first place — had I known the deal was dead, would I have exited my investment before or during the crash?Kwon, for one, doesn’t think so. In his mind, Terra was already a sure thing by that juncture, with or without Chai. “I think just psychologically, I had moved on from Chai as a use case, because that business wasn't growing, whereas, you know, there were dozens of different things that were being built on top of Terra. Tons of integrations like Anchor and Mirror were increasing in usership and things like that.\"\"I think what I spend time doing over the next 20 years is going to be more meaningful than what happened over the last six weeks.\"In case you didn’t think there were enough twists and turns in Kwon’s tale: Mirror was an unregulated copy of the stock market built atop Terra’s blockchain, which inevitably got Kwon subpoenaed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In a cavalier Kwon comeback, he responded bysuing the SECfor improperly issuing the subpoena. There’s poking the bear, and then there’s challenging the bear to a fistfight.At this point, the SEC may be the least of Kwon’s problems. Among the various agencies around the world looking into all things Terra, Korean prosecutors have thus far been the most aggressive. But Kwon says he plans to cooperate when the time comes.“In terms of dealing with due process, it's not a question of what you are prepared to face, it’s a question of how you are going to face them. So what we're going to do is we're just going to put out the facts as we know them,” he tells me with trademark confidence.When I ask him how he defines fraud, he pauses so long, I feel like I’m the one who might be in trouble. “Well,if you knew something that wasn't true, and then you argue that that was true for personal enrichment or whatever purpose that might be, then that's fraud, right?” Pretty spot on, off the cuff. “I think it boils down to a question of whether you wanted to do the right thing.”But of course, many investors in Terra are no longer taking Kwon at his word. A number of former Terra users, including one of the loudest, have accused him ofextracting $2.7 billionfrom Terra’s reserves, a claim Kwonflatly denies. “In terms of how much UST [exchanges] were able to buy back, it matches the amount of Bitcoin that we gave them,” he points out. The blockchain may be built for transparency, but that has rarely made the whole truth any easier to find.Other allegations, Kwon has little trouble swatting down. Some news organizations reported on the existence of Flexi Corp, a Korean shell company linked to Kwon. With a wave of his hand, he explains that Terraform Labs had three subsidiary corporations in Korea, including Flexi Corp, but when he moved operations to Singapore before the crash, he “wound that entity down.” Other questions have been raised about how much money Terraform Labs was spending on operations through an effort calledProject Dawn; of the three million LUNA it let the company unlock per month, Kwon says the coins “were used to meet our obligations to investors and employee vesting. And once again, none of that went to me.”In the meantime  —  and as ever in crypto  —  those Ponzi claims continue to linger. In one sense, the argument that Terra was just one big elaborate Ponzi scheme is simple: Anchor promised fixed 20% returns for everyone who bought into the ecosystem. When that became unsustainable, everything crashed.On the other hand, this kind of “Ponzi-nomics” has long been actively debated in the crypto sphere. Plenty of traditional businesses use VC cash to subsidize everything from free lunches and taxi rides to subscriptions and movie tickets in order to gain a loyal customer base, raising prices or reducing benefits once they’ve established themselves as an essential part of our lives. Terra was arguably doing the same by subsidizing Anchor, and it worked as intended for years. Until, of course, it didn’t.For what it’s worth, Kwon makes a point of accepting responsibility for the crash. “I, and I alone, am responsible for any weaknesses that could have been presented for a short seller to start to take profit. The blame is on the person that presented those vulnerabilities in the first place,” he said. “That’s me.”Even so, that likely won’t satisfy the Korean justice system, which also appears intensely interested in making sense of Terra’s collapse. In between my two days of interviews with Kwon in Singapore, Korean authorities raided his cofounder Daniel Shin’s home, as well as Korean cryptocurrency exchanges that held UST-LUNA on the books.When I ask if he’s thinking about going back to Korea, he’s noncommittal. “It's kind of hard to make that decision, because we've never been in touch with the investigators. They've never charged us with anything. They haven't reached out to us at all.”Again, his casual calmness surprises me. When I float the prospect of jail time, he doesn’t miss a beat: “Life is long.”And his new lawyers? How do they feel about our conversation? Kwon all but laughs. “I mean, no lawyer is going to be happy.”As investigators and armchair detectives circle the case, regulators around the world are also now taking a closer look at stablecoins in the wake of Terra’s collapse. Under new rules passed in the EU known as MiCA, stablecoins like Tether and USDC will have to maintain an ample reserve backing to ward off death spirals like Terra’s. And in the U.S., some lawmakers hope to have a new federal regulation passed by the end of the year.Day 0In the meantime, Do Kwon is already trying again. Shortly after the crash, he launched Terra 2.0 — his swift attempt to start rebuilding his crypto empire, though this time with no algorithmic stablecoin attached. The new coin launched on May 28, and traded as high as $11 in the days that followed, though its price currently sits around $2. Million of dollars of “LUNA Classic” still trades hands every day, and some loyal developers are still building on the platform. But activity on its official forum remains sparse.“In terms of the future of Terra 2.0, one of the things that I'm banking on is a lot of the core of the community that was built up during the crash. I think they are primed to launch interesting things on top of 2.0 independent of the things that we do,” Kwon tells me, as enthusiastic as I’ve seen him. “I'm always going to be doing things on Terra and for the Terra community. This is my home and this is where I feel like there's the brightest future.”Some rival blockchains have attempted to hire away developers who worked on Terra, including Polygon and Kadena, which both announced millions in funding dedicated to poaching top talent. Kwon claims “most of Terraform Labs is still intact. We lost a lot of executives during the crash, but in terms of the overall headcount, we lost a total of two devs.”Beyond the collapse of Terra itself, there’s no chart I can point to revealing what remains of the market’s trust in Do Kwon. Its implosion caused many of us to lose incredible sums of money — almost certainly driving some away from the Terra ecosystem forever, if not the rest of crypto, too. Yet Kwon’s new venture will have to rely almost entirely on trust — both in him and in the resuscitated Terra ecosystem — in order to successfully rebuild. When asked about upcoming projects launching on Terra 2.0, Kwon was optimistic but sparing with details. “I would rather just leave these [upcoming products] to be a surprise. I think one of the lessons that I learned is you should probably not oversell things that don't exist yet.”What’s certain is that he doesn’t intend to be going anywhere. “I love crypto. I love Web3. I plan to be building here for a long time, and if my thesis is right that we are at the very early innings of what will turn out to be, in my hope, a world that runs on Web3, then I think what I spend time doing over the next 20 years is going to be more meaningful than what happened over the last six weeks.”Do Kwon announced the birth of his daughter Luna to the world on Twitter, calling her \"My dearest creation named after my greatest invention.\"As for his daughter Luna, Kwon doesn’t plan on changing her name. “Let's just say that I have an incentive to make sure that her name isn't something that she can be ashamed of, but something that she can be proud of.”He could have named his new project literally anything else too — conventional wisdom would be to create as much distance as possible from memories of crypto’s largest-ever collapse. But this is Do Kwon we’re talking about. So LUNA 2.0 it is.As we spill out of hot pot heaven on my last night in Singapore, Kwon stops along the road and gazes up at the night sky. He confesses he thought about another name, but just couldn’t bring himself to do it. “It’s right there,” he says, like we’re standing in a dream. “I stare up and see the moon, and just feel so attached to it.”On that count, at least, I still envy him. For me, it remains out of reach.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":99,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9991938441,"gmtCreate":1660774512585,"gmtModify":1676536393894,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9991938441","repostId":"1145675545","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145675545","pubTimestamp":1660742957,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145675545?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-17 21:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145675545","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"For most movie fans, their dream selfie with a Hollywood star never quite materializes.

But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.</p><p>Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.</p><p>Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,<i>Lightyear</i>, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26d2f8d2a68830ff364ec91c9beb7be7\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.</p><p>On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as in<i>Planet of the Apes</i>, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.</p><p>Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.</p><p>Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.</p><p>“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”</p><p>At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”</p><p>At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.</p><p>But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.</p><p>He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”</p><p>With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/20522e4c8b6fbdb61e5f3ebad3fe7c6b\" tg-width=\"650\" tg-height=\"348\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.</p><p>Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts Worldwide.</p><p>Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.</p><p>When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.</p><p>Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.</p><p>Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.</p><p>He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b60a0ecf9ad876f2376ae392e6e04605\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"899\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg Businessweek</p><p>Although he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.</p><p>Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings of<i>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid</i>,<i>Cool Hand Luke</i>, and, of course,<i>Planet of the Apes</i>. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”</p><p>After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”</p><p>Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.</p><p>In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”</p><p>In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”</p><p>So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/788e4b080973d8a9e6c27d08e72d96b3\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty Images</p><p>As the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”</p><p>AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.</p><p>Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.</p><p>Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.</p><p>News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.</p><p>Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.</p><p>By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.</p><p>With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.</p><p>Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam Aron</p><p>Meanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.</p><p>As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.</p><p>While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.</p><p>Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82b063380f89c7eca208a72fd34d0a9d\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.</p><p>Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.</p><p>Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.</p><p>Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.</p><p>So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.</p><p>Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.</p><p>On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.</p><p>Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.</p><p>The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?</p><p>Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.</p><p>The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”</p><p><b>The Face That Launched a Thousand Memes</b></p><p>Aron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followers</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32e77d080b7c7f197793148442df6b6d\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"522\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Twitter<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beabe7f722197aa352c08fde8d207cf2\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"602\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: TwitterSource: Twitter</p><p>There may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.</p><p>For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.</p><p>Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.</p><p>Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”</p><p>AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.</p><p>In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”</p><p>For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.</p><p>While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.</p><p>In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”</p><p>Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’s<i>Thor: Love and Thunder</i>. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>AMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-17 21:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-08-17/amc-amc-stock-became-a-meme-thanks-to-adam-aron-s-antics><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For most movie fans, their dream selfie with a Hollywood star never quite materializes.

But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,Lightyear, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as inPlanet of the Apes, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg BusinessweekAlthough he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings ofButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,Cool Hand Luke, and, of course,Planet of the Apes. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty ImagesAs the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam AronMeanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”The Face That Launched a Thousand MemesAron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followersSource: TwitterSource: TwitterSource: TwitterThere may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’sThor: Love and Thunder. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041365201,"gmtCreate":1656022278903,"gmtModify":1676535749738,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041365201","repostId":"2245088225","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2245088225","pubTimestamp":1655989722,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2245088225?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-23 21:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Warren Buffett Stocks You'll Wish You'd Bought 5 Years From Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2245088225","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Many of Buffett's software-related stocks appear poised to come back.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Amid the recent stock market sell-off, Warren Buffett has again proven the success of his investment formula. While the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>has entered bear territory, his company <b>Berkshire Hathaway </b>sells near levels where it traded 12 months ago.</p><p>Although Buffett may have become better known for holdings outside of tech, he holds a few positions in the software sector. As technology stocks recover, companies such as <b>Apple</b>, <b>Mastercard</b>, and <b>Snowflake</b> could boost Buffett&#39;s returns as conditions improve.</p><h2>The free-cash-flow king that relies increasingly on software<b> </b></h2><p><b>Will Healy</b> <b>(Apple): </b>One cannot discuss Buffett&#39;s tech plays without mentioning Apple. His Apple holdings account for 39% of a portfolio that holds more than 50 publicly traded stocks.</p><p>The majority of revenue comes from the iPhone, a combined hardware and software offering. Additionally, software may have kept Apple strong during the downturn given the success of Apple Services. It includes software offerings such as iCloud, advertising, digital content, and payments.</p><p>The Apple Services segment generated $20 billion in revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2022 (which ended March 26). This is a 17% surge year over year, taking this segment&#39;s revenue to an all-time high.</p><p>Its success also helped the company as rising prices and supply chain challenges weighed on Apple. Q2 revenue came in at $97 billion, a 9% increase from year-ago levels. Net income grew 6% over that period to $25 billion as a rising cost of sales, higher operating expenses, and increased income taxes reduced growth in the bottom line.</p><p>But despite the single-digit growth, Apple&#39;s $201 billion in liquidity should help it ride out any storm and keep it a crown jewel in the Buffett portfolio. Moreover, the stock has risen by 4% over the last 12 months. While not a stellar performance, it bodes well for the company considering that many tech growth stocks have lost more than three-fourths of their value in recent months.</p><p>Also, its price-to earnings (P/E) ratio of 22 is at its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Such a valuation could attract more investment from Buffett and other prominent investors. Given its relative stability and massive liquidity position amid this sell-off, perhaps now is the time to buy.</p><h2>Mastercard gives investors the best of both worlds</h2><p><b>Justin Pope</b> <b>(Mastercard):</b> Mastercard is the world&#39;s second-largest payment processing network. It has just under 2.9 billion debit and credit cards in circulation worldwide.</p><p>Mastercard&#39;s network connects the merchants where you swipe your payment card to the financial institutions that handle the money. Think of the network as a highway that cars use to travel back and forth. You pay a toll when you use the highway; similarly, Mastercard charges a small percentage of each transaction its network processes.</p><p>The company&#39;s grown revenue by an average of 11% annually over the past decade, driven by a steady shift away from cash as a payment method. Additionally, Mastercard isn&#39;t impacted by inflation because its fee is a percentage of each transaction; in other words, Mastercard captures more revenue as the prices of goods and services increase.</p><p>Mastercard is a cash cow, turning 46% of its revenue into free cash flow. Management shares those cash profits with investors, having paid and raised its dividend for the past 11 years. Investors won&#39;t get a huge dividend yield at just 0.6%, but the payout grows quickly; its annual increase has averaged 18% over the past five years. The company also spends billions on share repurchases, shrinking the share count by 22% over the past decade.</p><p>The company&#39;s ability to grow cash and return it to investors simultaneously has powered market-beating returns, totaling more than 7,300% since Mastercard came public in 2006. Despite its success, there could still be more upside ahead. Earnings per share (EPS) have grown by an average of 16% over the past three years, only slightly dropping from its 10-year rate of 19%. Warren Buffett bought his first position in 2011, which remains a part of his portfolio today.</p><h2>Snowflake&#39;s business model makes it stand out from its cloud-computing peers</h2><p><b>Jake Lerch (Snowflake): </b>Snowflake doesn&#39;t fit the profile of a typical &#34;Buffett stock.&#34; In fact, Snowflake is the type of company Buffett may have derided several years ago. It&#39;s a recently founded technology company and its business model can be challenging to understand. Nevertheless, Buffett -- or more likely Berkshire Hathaway investment managers Todd Combs or Ted Weschler -- has accumulated over 6 million shares of Snowflake. </p><p>Snowflake is, at the most basic level, a cloud computing company. But what really differentiates the company is its business model. Snowflake doesn&#39;t focus on increasing its customers&#39; sales or streamlining their human resources workflow. Instead, it helps organizations gain a bird&#39;s eye view of all the data relevant to their operations. This perspective allows them to gain valuable insights into trends and improve their decision making.</p><p>For example, Snowflake can help retailers more accurately predict and manage their inventory. In the pharmaceutical industry, Snowflake can help companies research and develop new treatments by quickly compiling and sharing data from outside sources.</p><p>There&#39;s no doubt that Snowflake has secular tailwinds behind it. The company currently has 184 large customers (those generating more than $1 million in product revenue), and it plans to expand that number to 1,400 by 2029. Moreover, Snowflake hopes to grow its revenue almost tenfold over that same period. Over the last 12 months, Snowflake generated $1.4 billion of revenue -- its first time crossing the $1 billion mark. And by 2029, the company aims to exceed $10 billion in annual sales. </p><p>But owning shares of Snowflake isn&#39;t without risk. First of all, Snowflake lacks profits.

While the S&P 500 has entered bear territory, his company Berkshire Hathaway sells near levels where it traded 12 months ago.Although Buffett may have become better known for holdings outside of tech, he holds a few positions in the software sector. As technology stocks recover, companies such as Apple, Mastercard, and Snowflake could boost Buffett's returns as conditions improve.The free-cash-flow king that relies increasingly on software Will Healy (Apple): One cannot discuss Buffett's tech plays without mentioning Apple. His Apple holdings account for 39% of a portfolio that holds more than 50 publicly traded stocks.The majority of revenue comes from the iPhone, a combined hardware and software offering. Additionally, software may have kept Apple strong during the downturn given the success of Apple Services. It includes software offerings such as iCloud, advertising, digital content, and payments.The Apple Services segment generated $20 billion in revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2022 (which ended March 26). This is a 17% surge year over year, taking this segment's revenue to an all-time high.Its success also helped the company as rising prices and supply chain challenges weighed on Apple. Q2 revenue came in at $97 billion, a 9% increase from year-ago levels. Net income grew 6% over that period to $25 billion as a rising cost of sales, higher operating expenses, and increased income taxes reduced growth in the bottom line.But despite the single-digit growth, Apple's $201 billion in liquidity should help it ride out any storm and keep it a crown jewel in the Buffett portfolio. Moreover, the stock has risen by 4% over the last 12 months. While not a stellar performance, it bodes well for the company considering that many tech growth stocks have lost more than three-fourths of their value in recent months.Also, its price-to earnings (P/E) ratio of 22 is at its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Such a valuation could attract more investment from Buffett and other prominent investors. Given its relative stability and massive liquidity position amid this sell-off, perhaps now is the time to buy.Mastercard gives investors the best of both worldsJustin Pope (Mastercard): Mastercard is the world's second-largest payment processing network. It has just under 2.9 billion debit and credit cards in circulation worldwide.Mastercard's network connects the merchants where you swipe your payment card to the financial institutions that handle the money. Think of the network as a highway that cars use to travel back and forth. You pay a toll when you use the highway; similarly, Mastercard charges a small percentage of each transaction its network processes.The company's grown revenue by an average of 11% annually over the past decade, driven by a steady shift away from cash as a payment method. Additionally, Mastercard isn't impacted by inflation because its fee is a percentage of each transaction; in other words, Mastercard captures more revenue as the prices of goods and services increase.Mastercard is a cash cow, turning 46% of its revenue into free cash flow. Management shares those cash profits with investors, having paid and raised its dividend for the past 11 years. Investors won't get a huge dividend yield at just 0.6%, but the payout grows quickly; its annual increase has averaged 18% over the past five years. The company also spends billions on share repurchases, shrinking the share count by 22% over the past decade.The company's ability to grow cash and return it to investors simultaneously has powered market-beating returns, totaling more than 7,300% since Mastercard came public in 2006. Despite its success, there could still be more upside ahead. Earnings per share (EPS) have grown by an average of 16% over the past three years, only slightly dropping from its 10-year rate of 19%. Warren Buffett bought his first position in 2011, which remains a part of his portfolio today.Snowflake's business model makes it stand out from its cloud-computing peersJake Lerch (Snowflake): Snowflake doesn't fit the profile of a typical \"Buffett stock.\" In fact, Snowflake is the type of company Buffett may have derided several years ago. It's a recently founded technology company and its business model can be challenging to understand. Nevertheless, Buffett -- or more likely Berkshire Hathaway investment managers Todd Combs or Ted Weschler -- has accumulated over 6 million shares of Snowflake. Snowflake is, at the most basic level, a cloud computing company. But what really differentiates the company is its business model. Snowflake doesn't focus on increasing its customers' sales or streamlining their human resources workflow. Instead, it helps organizations gain a bird's eye view of all the data relevant to their operations. This perspective allows them to gain valuable insights into trends and improve their decision making.For example, Snowflake can help retailers more accurately predict and manage their inventory. In the pharmaceutical industry, Snowflake can help companies research and develop new treatments by quickly compiling and sharing data from outside sources.There's no doubt that Snowflake has secular tailwinds behind it. The company currently has 184 large customers (those generating more than $1 million in product revenue), and it plans to expand that number to 1,400 by 2029. Moreover, Snowflake hopes to grow its revenue almost tenfold over that same period. Over the last 12 months, Snowflake generated $1.4 billion of revenue -- its first time crossing the $1 billion mark. And by 2029, the company aims to exceed $10 billion in annual sales. But owning shares of Snowflake isn't without risk. First of all, Snowflake lacks profits. The company has never turned a profit, and its net income actually sank deeper into the red over the last two years, mainly due to lucrative stock compensation for its employees. What's more, the company relies on would-be competitors like Amazon and Microsoft for the cloud infrastructure to run its software. Nevertheless, Snowflake appears to have carved out a lucrative niche in the cloud-computing space. If you're willing to ride out short-term volatility, Snowflake looks like an outstanding Buffett stock -- albeit an unorthodox one.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":111,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897759696,"gmtCreate":1628989122415,"gmtModify":1676529903560,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/897759696","repostId":"1133270372","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133270372","pubTimestamp":1628988501,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133270372?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-15 08:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Where Will Plug Power Be In 10 Years?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133270372","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nPlug Power is active in an attractive industry with huge growth tailwinds.\nIt serves low-ri","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Plug Power is active in an attractive industry with huge growth tailwinds.</li>\n <li>It serves low-risk customers and has a strong position in its industry.</li>\n <li>Shares are pricing in a lot of future growth, and investors should consider what actual per-share returns might look like before deploying money at current valuations.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2fa1aea5535d99338f385c168062b218\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Fokusiert/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Article Thesis</b></p>\n<p>Plug Power, Inc. (PLUG) is active in a high-growth industry, which translates into a strong long-term business growth outlook, as long as the company can capitalize on its goals and management executes well. The company is, however, not profitable yet, and the path to meaningful net profits holds some uncertainties still. Taking a longer-term view, we can expect that Plug Power will generate positive net profits despite the fact that shares are valuing the company at a relatively high current valuation. From a risk-reward standpoint, there may be better picks available, though, despite the fact that I believe that shares will trade materially higher in 2031.</p>\n<p><b>Plug Power Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Plug Power, Inc. has seen its share price move up and down violently over the last year:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d940297249151eddcccf6440d20ef031\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares trade 130% higher than 12 months ago, but at the same time, shares trade at just one-third of the all-time high today. In early 2021, shares exploded upwards at a time when other renewable/new energy and related stocks, including EV plays, benefited from massive investor enthusiasm. Since then, enthusiasm seems to have cooled, and shares have reverted back to the $20s. At current prices, Plug Power, Inc. is valued at $16 billion based on a diluted share count of a little less than 600 million. Analysts are pretty bullish on the stock right now, as the consensus price target of $41 implies an upside potential of around 50% from current prices throughout the next year. It should be noted, however, that the analyst consensus price target has been lowered in recent months, and may continue to be lowered going forward. Due to non-existent profits PLUG can't be valued on an earnings basis, but shares trade for around 30x this year's revenue, which is quite expensive.</p>\n<p><b>Plug Power Stock Prediction</b></p>\n<p>Plug Power, Inc. is active in an absolute growth industry, as hydrogen fuel cells will see huge demand growth in coming years as they allow for an environmentally friendly alternative to other fuels. Plug Power, as a turnkey provider in a market leadership position for this technology, is well-positioned to capitalize on this megatrend. Through a network of global partnerships, including with Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP), Plug Power is working on growing the green hydrogen industryglobally:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91a8e3b57882e429c9eace431bd1f541\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Plug Power presentation</span></p>\n<p>Plug Power's green hydrogen can be used for powering trucks, busses, and other vehicles, while the company is also providing environmentally friendly alternatives to diesel generators in the megawatt scale range that can be used by utilities, for example. The company is, on top of that, also working on other ventures that are not ready to be commercialized yet, such as powering aircraft with hydrogen. Plug Power will have at least 5 hydrogen plants running in the US in 2024, i.e. three years from now, with more projects being in the pipeline both in the US and in overseas markets such as Europe.</p>\n<p>80% of Plug Power's customers are what the company calls blue chip customers, which includes companies such as Amazon (AMZN). These companies are oftentimes highly inclined to improve their CO2 footprint in order to receive better ESG ratings, and at the same time, these are low-risk customers as their strong balance sheets and cash flows mean that the risk of liquidity or solvency issues is negligible. Overall, Plug Power thus works with attractive counterparts, and their financial firepower means that Plug Power is not forced to sell its products at bargain prices, which is why the company has been able to generate relatively attractive product gross margins in the 30s in recent quarters.</p>\n<p>Due to the still relatively small scale of the company, Plug Power is not profitable on a net basis or operating basis, however. The company's operating expenses, relative to the revenues that Plug Power generates, are still too high for now. This should, however, change over time, as operating leverage and improving product margins should allow Plug Power to grow gross profits relative to operating expenses, which will result in improving profitability. Analysts are currently predicting positive net profits for fiscal 2024, or three years from now. It would, of course, be better if Plug Power had hit that point already, but for long-term oriented investors, two more years of negative profits will not be a disaster.</p>\n<p>When investing in a company such as Plug Power, the very near term is not too relevant, but what matters more is the longer-term potential of the company to grow its revenue and profits. Through the combination of ESG tailwinds, massive market growth, and its market leadership position, Plug Power seems to be well-positioned to grow its revenue for many years to come:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d6f0576ba51f219d85b18d90ccaf6f4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"628\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Analysts are currently predicting that revenues will grow at 50%+ a year over the next three years, while growth is forecasted to remain almost 30% through at least 2030, which equates to a highly attractive long-term growth outlook. There are, of course, no guarantees that this will indeed happen, as some risks to the business model remain. The company is not profitable yet, thus funding of future growth projects could theoretically become a problem. On top of that, it is possible that other players with deep pockets will try to disrupt the market or gain market share. The risk of that is, I believe, due to Plug Power's leadership position, not very large. But should the market become more competitive, non-profitable Plug Power might run into problems if it were to run into market share fights that could pressure margins.</p>\n<p>Some execution risks do thus remain for sure, and investors shouldn't see the above growth projections as crystal-clear forecasts that are infallible. Instead, however, the above predictions showcase what a base-case scenario could look like, and actual results might be better or worse than that. Overall, it can be said that the longer-term outlook for Plug Power's business is excellent, as the company should be able to grow at an attractive pace for many years to come, as investors, companies, and consumers put more and more emphasis on a smaller carbon footprint. Obvious growth prospects for an industry do not, however, automatically translate into share price gains. Those that bought shares of Cisco (CSCO) at the highs during the dot.com bubble, for example, are still in the red today, 22 years later, despite the massive growth the business has experienced in that time frame. Valuations should be considered as well, and Plug Power is far from cheap today.</p>\n<p><b>Plug Power Stock Forecast For 2030</b></p>\n<p>Today, Plug Power is trading for around 32x this year's expected revenue. If that was an earnings multiple, the stock still wouldn't be especially cheap, relative to how the average company is valued. At more than 30x sales, shares do seem very expensive. When we consider PLUG's growth outlook over the coming decade, that is relativized to some degree, but I believe that shares are still trading above fair value.</p>\n<p>If the analyst consensus estimate for 2030's revenues is correct, at $10.5 billion, then shares are trading at around 1.5x 2030's revenue right now. Many industrial names are trading for 1x to 2x this year's revenue right now, which indicates how much future growth is priced into PLUG's stock already. One can, of course, argue that PLUG's growth outlook in 2030 is likely still better than that of the average company today, as it seems very much possible for PLUG to grow at a double-digit rate well beyond 2030. But still, shares upside for PLUG's shares is not too great over the coming decade, I believe.</p>\n<p>If PLUG were to trade at a still relatively steep 3.5x revenue in 2030, this gets us to a market cap estimate of around $37billion, or roughly 2.3x as much as today. PLUG's share count will, however, not stay unchanged over the next decade, which is why returns on a per-share basis will be lower than that. If we assume that the share count climbs by just 2% a year, 2030's share count will stand at a little above 700 million. At a $37 billion market capitalization, each individual stock would then trade at around $53, which would mean a return of ~100% from today. On an annual basis, this would equate to returns of 8%. 8% annual returns are far from bad, but many things have to go right for that to happen -- PLUG has to execute well, deliver on growth projects, and avoid massive share issuance. When we also consider that this estimate requires a still rather high 3.5x sales multiple in 2030, then those returns are not great enough to warrant a buy rating, I believe. It would be different of 8% returns could come from a very de-risked blue chip with very low uncertainties, but that is not the case here. For reference, if PLUG executes well and hits growth estimates, but its shares trade for 2.5x sales in 2030, then the share price, assuming 2% annual dilution, would be $37, which would equate to just 4% annual returns. PLUG's share count has risen by around 50% over the last year alone, and even though I don't expect similar dilution in coming years, it is at least possible for PLUG's share count to rise by significantly more than 2% a year, which would pressure returns further.</p>\n<p>Overall, I do not believe that investors will lose money with PLUG over the next decade or more. But I also do not believe that investors will see very attractive returns in that time frame, despite the fact that Plug Power's underlying business growth outlook is highly attractive. Shares are pricing in a lot of future growth already, and I believe that returns in the sub-10% range can also be generated through lower-risk investments, with less volatile stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion: Where Could Plug Power Be In 10 Years?</b></p>\n<p>One can't know that today, but we can make educated guesses.

(PLUG) is active in a high-growth industry, which translates into a strong long-term business growth outlook, as long as the company can capitalize on its goals and management executes well. The company is, however, not profitable yet, and the path to meaningful net profits holds some uncertainties still. Taking a longer-term view, we can expect that Plug Power will generate positive net profits despite the fact that shares are valuing the company at a relatively high current valuation. From a risk-reward standpoint, there may be better picks available, though, despite the fact that I believe that shares will trade materially higher in 2031.\nPlug Power Stock Price\nPlug Power, Inc. has seen its share price move up and down violently over the last year:\nData by YCharts\nShares trade 130% higher than 12 months ago, but at the same time, shares trade at just one-third of the all-time high today. In early 2021, shares exploded upwards at a time when other renewable/new energy and related stocks, including EV plays, benefited from massive investor enthusiasm. Since then, enthusiasm seems to have cooled, and shares have reverted back to the $20s. At current prices, Plug Power, Inc. is valued at $16 billion based on a diluted share count of a little less than 600 million. Analysts are pretty bullish on the stock right now, as the consensus price target of $41 implies an upside potential of around 50% from current prices throughout the next year. It should be noted, however, that the analyst consensus price target has been lowered in recent months, and may continue to be lowered going forward. Due to non-existent profits PLUG can't be valued on an earnings basis, but shares trade for around 30x this year's revenue, which is quite expensive.\nPlug Power Stock Prediction\nPlug Power, Inc. is active in an absolute growth industry, as hydrogen fuel cells will see huge demand growth in coming years as they allow for an environmentally friendly alternative to other fuels. Plug Power, as a turnkey provider in a market leadership position for this technology, is well-positioned to capitalize on this megatrend. Through a network of global partnerships, including with Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP), Plug Power is working on growing the green hydrogen industryglobally:\nSource: Plug Power presentation\nPlug Power's green hydrogen can be used for powering trucks, busses, and other vehicles, while the company is also providing environmentally friendly alternatives to diesel generators in the megawatt scale range that can be used by utilities, for example. The company is, on top of that, also working on other ventures that are not ready to be commercialized yet, such as powering aircraft with hydrogen. Plug Power will have at least 5 hydrogen plants running in the US in 2024, i.e. three years from now, with more projects being in the pipeline both in the US and in overseas markets such as Europe.\n80% of Plug Power's customers are what the company calls blue chip customers, which includes companies such as Amazon (AMZN). These companies are oftentimes highly inclined to improve their CO2 footprint in order to receive better ESG ratings, and at the same time, these are low-risk customers as their strong balance sheets and cash flows mean that the risk of liquidity or solvency issues is negligible. Overall, Plug Power thus works with attractive counterparts, and their financial firepower means that Plug Power is not forced to sell its products at bargain prices, which is why the company has been able to generate relatively attractive product gross margins in the 30s in recent quarters.\nDue to the still relatively small scale of the company, Plug Power is not profitable on a net basis or operating basis, however. The company's operating expenses, relative to the revenues that Plug Power generates, are still too high for now. This should, however, change over time, as operating leverage and improving product margins should allow Plug Power to grow gross profits relative to operating expenses, which will result in improving profitability. Analysts are currently predicting positive net profits for fiscal 2024, or three years from now. It would, of course, be better if Plug Power had hit that point already, but for long-term oriented investors, two more years of negative profits will not be a disaster.\nWhen investing in a company such as Plug Power, the very near term is not too relevant, but what matters more is the longer-term potential of the company to grow its revenue and profits. Through the combination of ESG tailwinds, massive market growth, and its market leadership position, Plug Power seems to be well-positioned to grow its revenue for many years to come:\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nAnalysts are currently predicting that revenues will grow at 50%+ a year over the next three years, while growth is forecasted to remain almost 30% through at least 2030, which equates to a highly attractive long-term growth outlook. There are, of course, no guarantees that this will indeed happen, as some risks to the business model remain. The company is not profitable yet, thus funding of future growth projects could theoretically become a problem. On top of that, it is possible that other players with deep pockets will try to disrupt the market or gain market share. The risk of that is, I believe, due to Plug Power's leadership position, not very large. But should the market become more competitive, non-profitable Plug Power might run into problems if it were to run into market share fights that could pressure margins.\nSome execution risks do thus remain for sure, and investors shouldn't see the above growth projections as crystal-clear forecasts that are infallible. Instead, however, the above predictions showcase what a base-case scenario could look like, and actual results might be better or worse than that. Overall, it can be said that the longer-term outlook for Plug Power's business is excellent, as the company should be able to grow at an attractive pace for many years to come, as investors, companies, and consumers put more and more emphasis on a smaller carbon footprint. Obvious growth prospects for an industry do not, however, automatically translate into share price gains. Those that bought shares of Cisco (CSCO) at the highs during the dot.com bubble, for example, are still in the red today, 22 years later, despite the massive growth the business has experienced in that time frame. Valuations should be considered as well, and Plug Power is far from cheap today.\nPlug Power Stock Forecast For 2030\nToday, Plug Power is trading for around 32x this year's expected revenue. If that was an earnings multiple, the stock still wouldn't be especially cheap, relative to how the average company is valued. At more than 30x sales, shares do seem very expensive. When we consider PLUG's growth outlook over the coming decade, that is relativized to some degree, but I believe that shares are still trading above fair value.\nIf the analyst consensus estimate for 2030's revenues is correct, at $10.5 billion, then shares are trading at around 1.5x 2030's revenue right now. Many industrial names are trading for 1x to 2x this year's revenue right now, which indicates how much future growth is priced into PLUG's stock already. One can, of course, argue that PLUG's growth outlook in 2030 is likely still better than that of the average company today, as it seems very much possible for PLUG to grow at a double-digit rate well beyond 2030. But still, shares upside for PLUG's shares is not too great over the coming decade, I believe.\nIf PLUG were to trade at a still relatively steep 3.5x revenue in 2030, this gets us to a market cap estimate of around $37billion, or roughly 2.3x as much as today. PLUG's share count will, however, not stay unchanged over the next decade, which is why returns on a per-share basis will be lower than that. If we assume that the share count climbs by just 2% a year, 2030's share count will stand at a little above 700 million. At a $37 billion market capitalization, each individual stock would then trade at around $53, which would mean a return of ~100% from today. On an annual basis, this would equate to returns of 8%. 8% annual returns are far from bad, but many things have to go right for that to happen -- PLUG has to execute well, deliver on growth projects, and avoid massive share issuance. When we also consider that this estimate requires a still rather high 3.5x sales multiple in 2030, then those returns are not great enough to warrant a buy rating, I believe. It would be different of 8% returns could come from a very de-risked blue chip with very low uncertainties, but that is not the case here. For reference, if PLUG executes well and hits growth estimates, but its shares trade for 2.5x sales in 2030, then the share price, assuming 2% annual dilution, would be $37, which would equate to just 4% annual returns. PLUG's share count has risen by around 50% over the last year alone, and even though I don't expect similar dilution in coming years, it is at least possible for PLUG's share count to rise by significantly more than 2% a year, which would pressure returns further.\nOverall, I do not believe that investors will lose money with PLUG over the next decade or more. But I also do not believe that investors will see very attractive returns in that time frame, despite the fact that Plug Power's underlying business growth outlook is highly attractive. Shares are pricing in a lot of future growth already, and I believe that returns in the sub-10% range can also be generated through lower-risk investments, with less volatile stocks.\nConclusion: Where Could Plug Power Be In 10 Years?\nOne can't know that today, but we can make educated guesses. According to may scenarios laid out above, PLUG could trade at $37-$55 in 2030, factoring in another year of growth, we could end up at $40-$60 in 2031, I believe -- if many things go right. In case there are major hiccups with growth projects, or if the share count rises more than expected, these estimates may be too high.\nOverall, I believe that there is considerable long-term upside potential for PLUG's shares, but expected returns in the mid-to-high-single digits range are not gigantic, and the same returns can be generated through more mature, less volatile investments with fewer uncertainties and less execution risk. I thus do think that PLUG is not a buy right here, even though I like the company's growth prospects and its position in an attractive industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":24,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179023601,"gmtCreate":1626476352803,"gmtModify":1703760701283,"author":{"id":"3579315453167562","authorId":"3579315453167562","name":"Bull888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed0dd70f3590d98b041e28374466e9d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579315453167562","idStr":"3579315453167562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like","listText":"Comment and like","text":"Comment and like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179023601","repostId":"1169536573","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169536573","pubTimestamp":1626448731,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1169536573?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-16 23:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coupa Shares Extend Losses After Post-Analyst Day Selloff","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169536573","media":"Thestreet","summary":"Coupa Software traded lower for a second day Friday, extending Thursday's near 10% loss, as analysts reassessed their outlooks for the financial management software company following a disappointing analyst day event.Coupa hosted a virtual analyst day on Thursday, when the platform provider shared additional detail about its Coupa Pay service, and also provided an update on its longer-term prospects.Analysts honed in on the more conservative outlook provided by Coupa's management team as the lik","content":"<p>Coupa Software(<b>COUP</b>)&nbsp;traded lower for a second day Friday, extending Thursday's near 10% loss, as analysts reassessed their outlooks for the financial management software company following a disappointing analyst day event.</p>\n<p>Coupa hosted a virtual analyst day on Thursday, when the platform provider shared additional detail about its Coupa Pay service, and also provided an update on its longer-term prospects.</p>\n<p>Analysts honed in on the more conservative outlook provided by Coupa's management team as the likely reason behind Thursday's selloff, though were generally sanguine about the company's longer-term prospects, with Piper Sandler one of the the few Wall Street investment firms to lower its one-year price target.</p>\n<p>Piper Sandler analysts also focused on lack of progress with Coupa Pay, noting that “… considering the necessary conservatism that is needed to continue the well-known beat and raise cadence, the set-up was always less than ideal.” They held their overweight rating on the stock though lowered their price target to $295 from $300.</p>\n<p>Truist Securities was slightly more upbeat, though admitted investors “could have been disappointed by either what they heard from an attach rate perspective on Coupa Pay or potentially were disappointed that it’s likely a multi-year time line before Coupa Pay really moves the needle.” They held their buy rating and price target of $326.</p>\n<p>Barclays analysts noted that while Coupa couldn’t meet “the very high expectations from the Street” for its Coupa Pay service it is maintaining its positive outlook.
