Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge. Therefore, my general bullishness in&nbsp;<b>Churchill Capital</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCIV</u></b>) seems contradictory. Wouldn’t CCIV stock succumb to the difficulties?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/521b487b052e6677651c06981adc8993\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: gg5795 / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>Adding the most skepticism is that Lucid Motors is about as aspirational of a company as you can get. Technically, the term is pre-revenue, which is just euphemism for aspirational, which is also euphemism for extremely speculative. But that’s not going to appeal to investors of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) which Lucid will reverse merger with. So pre-revenue it is for CCIV stock.</p>\n<p>Markets analyst Joanna Makris pointed out the other glaring problem with the EV hopeful and that’s valuation. Simply put, you can make the argument that the premium for CCIV stock is completely out of touch with reality. She wrote:</p>\n<blockquote>\n While Lucid’s valuation falls short of the previous $42 billion estimate, it’s still aggressive by any measure. As a comparison, at an implied $38 billion,&nbsp;Lucid would trade at the&nbsp;same market capitalization&nbsp;as&nbsp;\n <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:\n <b>TSLA</b>) in early 2017.But there’s another wrench in Lucid’s numbers, so to speak. Lucid’s final valuation will depend on what portion of Lucid’s PIPE investors cash in on redemptions. The PIPE priced at $15 — a roughly 60% discount to CCIV’s current $24 share price.&nbsp;With the lockup expiring in September, there’s a high likelihood that these short-term insiders take their profits. And that’s&nbsp;another reason for downside in CCIV stock.\n</blockquote>\n<p>With so many challenges in Lucid’s pipeline, is playing this reverse merger worth a shot?</p>\n<p><b>CCIV Stock Is Strangely the EV Investment You Can Trust</b></p>\n<p>I’ll expand on an issue that I only briefly mentioned above and that’s infrastructure. If the U.S. were to make a pivot to EVs, infrastructure to around the level that you see gasoline stations today for combustion cars is a must. For various reasons, we can’t all just charge at home.</p>\n<p>But to loosely paraphrase Dr. Emmett Brown, “Infrastructure? Where we’re going, we don’t need infrastructure.”</p>\n<p>While so many EV companies — and legacy automakers pivoting toward EVs — have their eyes on building vehicles for the average household, Lucid is going completely the opposite direction. Specifically focused on premium luxury EVs, the company’s cheapest offering start at just under $70,000. For context, themedian U.S. household income was $68,703 in 2019.</p>\n<p>Logically, the folks that are even considering buying Lucid EVs already have access to ample charging infrastructure: their own. Yes, I understand that someone making $70,000 could conceivably go out and buy one. But most people don’t spend 100% of their pre-tax income on a car. That would be nuts.</p>\n<p>Plus, you’ve got to figure that Lucid’s target audience would already have another vehicle at the ready, whether electric or not. Sure, multiple variables exist with CCIV stock. But infrastructure concerns will not be one of them.</p>\n<p>However, you can’t say that if you’re aiming for the lower end of the price spectrum. Here, infrastructure very much matters because not everybody has access to a garage or carport to do their charging. And in some locales, money isn’t necessarily the central issue.</p>\n<p>For instance, the<i>Wall Street Journal</i>noted thatNew Yorkers bought personal vehicles for the first timeduring last year’s novel coronavirus outbreak. Usually, that’s a superfluous purchase in that area due to the abundance of public transport options and that owning a car is a pain. So if people from these areas continue to go electric, infrastructure is a necessity.</p>\n<p><b>Speculative But Rational</b></p>\n<p>Having said all that, I don’t outright disagree with Makris. The valuation on CCIV stock is incredibly rich. I don’t think anybody will deny that. But really, the question is whether or not it’s justified.</p>\n<p>Obviously, no one but yourself can answer that. What I will suggest is that CCIV stock is a speculative albeit rational investment.

Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge. Therefore, my general bullishness in Churchill Capital(NYSE:CCIV) seems contradictory. Wouldn’t CCIV stock succumb to the difficulties?\nSource: gg5795 / Shutterstock.com\nAdding the most skepticism is that Lucid Motors is about as aspirational of a company as you can get. Technically, the term is pre-revenue, which is just euphemism for aspirational, which is also euphemism for extremely speculative. But that’s not going to appeal to investors of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) which Lucid will reverse merger with. So pre-revenue it is for CCIV stock.\nMarkets analyst Joanna Makris pointed out the other glaring problem with the EV hopeful and that’s valuation. Simply put, you can make the argument that the premium for CCIV stock is completely out of touch with reality. She wrote:\n\n While Lucid’s valuation falls short of the previous $42 billion estimate, it’s still aggressive by any measure. As a comparison, at an implied $38 billion, Lucid would trade at the same market capitalization as \n Tesla (NASDAQ:\n TSLA) in early 2017.But there’s another wrench in Lucid’s numbers, so to speak. Lucid’s final valuation will depend on what portion of Lucid’s PIPE investors cash in on redemptions. The PIPE priced at $15 — a roughly 60% discount to CCIV’s current $24 share price. With the lockup expiring in September, there’s a high likelihood that these short-term insiders take their profits. And that’s another reason for downside in CCIV stock.\n\nWith so many challenges in Lucid’s pipeline, is playing this reverse merger worth a shot?\nCCIV Stock Is Strangely the EV Investment You Can Trust\nI’ll expand on an issue that I only briefly mentioned above and that’s infrastructure. If the U.S. were to make a pivot to EVs, infrastructure to around the level that you see gasoline stations today for combustion cars is a must. For various reasons, we can’t all just charge at home.\nBut to loosely paraphrase Dr. Emmett Brown, “Infrastructure? Where we’re going, we don’t need infrastructure.”\nWhile so many EV companies — and legacy automakers pivoting toward EVs — have their eyes on building vehicles for the average household, Lucid is going completely the opposite direction. Specifically focused on premium luxury EVs, the company’s cheapest offering start at just under $70,000. For context, themedian U.S. household income was $68,703 in 2019.\nLogically, the folks that are even considering buying Lucid EVs already have access to ample charging infrastructure: their own. Yes, I understand that someone making $70,000 could conceivably go out and buy one. But most people don’t spend 100% of their pre-tax income on a car. That would be nuts.\nPlus, you’ve got to figure that Lucid’s target audience would already have another vehicle at the ready, whether electric or not. Sure, multiple variables exist with CCIV stock. But infrastructure concerns will not be one of them.\nHowever, you can’t say that if you’re aiming for the lower end of the price spectrum. Here, infrastructure very much matters because not everybody has access to a garage or carport to do their charging. And in some locales, money isn’t necessarily the central issue.\nFor instance, theWall Street Journalnoted thatNew Yorkers bought personal vehicles for the first timeduring last year’s novel coronavirus outbreak. Usually, that’s a superfluous purchase in that area due to the abundance of public transport options and that owning a car is a pain. So if people from these areas continue to go electric, infrastructure is a necessity.\nSpeculative But Rational\nHaving said all that, I don’t outright disagree with Makris. The valuation on CCIV stock is incredibly rich. I don’t think anybody will deny that. But really, the question is whether or not it’s justified.\nObviously, no one but yourself can answer that. What I will suggest is that CCIV stock is a speculative albeit rational investment. Yes, it’s priced high but the business model is the one that makes the most sense. Currently, we don’t have solid-state battery technology to make fully functional EVs that are priced like a base model Civic or Camry.\nWith Lucid, that question is not part of the equation whatsoever. Do you see Ferrari(NYSE:RACE) sweating bullets about who can afford the cars? Heck no! In fact, you have toearn the brand’s respectbefore you can be on the waiting list.\nLucid isn’t in that same ballpark but it’s a similar idea. By focusing on a specific, high-end market, it takes away the variability that you would incur if you had to rely on mass consumer sentiment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":121063055,"gmtCreate":1624444977777,"gmtModify":1703836869416,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell","listText":"Sell","text":"Sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121063055","repostId":"2145509616","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145509616","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":1624441324,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2145509616?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-23 17:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alfi Inc shares set to fall from record highs, 'meme stock' Torchlight sinks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145509616","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 23 (Reuters) - Shares of software firm Alfi Inc fell 10% in early deals on Wednesday after more","content":"<p>June 23 (Reuters) - Shares of software firm Alfi Inc fell 10% in early deals on Wednesday after more than doubling in value in the previous session, in a move evocative of the so-called \"meme stock\" frenzy that has gripped equity markets this year.</p>\n<p>Alfi's stock was trading at around $14.65 per share by 5:26 a.m. ET after ending Tuesday's session at a record high of $16.29, and was again among the most heavily traded stocks before the bell.</p>\n<p>Some social media users and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> portfolio manager on Tuesday cited a Benzinga.com report that Alfi planned to buy back stock as helping to fuel the rally.</p>\n<p>Shares of a group of heavily shorted companies including video game retailer GameStop Corp and cinema operator AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc have seen wild swings this year in a phenomenon dubbed the \"meme stock\" rally that has been driven by small-time traders on online discussion forums.</p>\n<p>Although short interest in Alfi last stood at 3.85% of free float, according to Refinitiv data, the company was among the top 10 trending stocks on trading-focused social media site Stocktwits, a platform commonly seen as a measure of interest from retail investors.</p>\n<p>Another retail darling, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRCH\">Torchlight Energy Resources Inc</a></p>\n<p>, sank 10% in premarket trading, extending a 30% slide in the previous session after it upsized its stock offering to $250 million.</p>\n<p>GameStop has also cashed in on the Reddit-driven rally in its stock, saying on Tuesday it had raised $1.13 billion in its latest share offering.

They're more than just a sideshow.</p>\n<p>Earlier this month, we argued AMC's capital raises into a frenzied stock market created a blueprint for how management teams need to approach the meme market. Stock sale announcements by second-tier meme plays like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a> (EXPR) and MicroVision (MVIS) shows how executives are starting to follow this playbook.</p>\n<p>But after some hesitation, the grandaddy of all meme names — GameStop — has also taken this environment as an opportunity to reshape its balance sheet and help drive growth for the future.</p>\n<p>These moves show how consequential the meme trade can be.</p>\n<p>GameStop said on Tuesday it completed its recently announced 5 million share \"at-the-money\" stock offering. The offering brought in some $1.126 billion to the company and adds to the $551 million the company raised with its 3.5 million share offering completed back in the spring.</p>\n<p>And so in the last three months, the company has sold 8.5 million shares at an average price of around $197, and raised a whopping $1.677 billion.</p>\n<p>It was just under a year ago that Keith Gill published his first YouTube video outlining the thesis that GameStop shares were undervalued, heavily shorted, and likely to rise significantly in price. At the time, GameStop was trading around $4 per share, with the company valued at about $260 million.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday, shares closed the trading session above $220, giving the company a market capitalization just north of $15 billion.</p>\n<p>In July 2020, with shares at $4 a piece, GameStop would've had to issue upwards of 400 million shares to raise the amount of money it has in the last few months. Instead, the unexpected and long-lasting rally in its shares allowed the company to sell just 3% of what would've been required to raise a similar amount just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> year ago.</p>\n<p>And let's be clear — there is no chance GameStop could've issued that amount of stock last year. With more than $400 million in long-term debt on its balance sheet and a market capitalization under $300 million, raising $1.7 billion in equity would've been a near impossibility.</p>\n<p>In short, GameStop raised a ton of money without significantly penalizing existing shareholders — 8.5 million shares totals about 12% of the company's shares outstanding as of May 1. In addition, it raised an amount of working capital the company would never have been able to access without the rally while sustaining the high price of the company's stock.</p>\n<p>With the capital GameStop has raised this year, the company paid down all of its long-term debt, and gave its new management team — led by a slew of Amazon (AMZN) veterans — the firepower they need to try and transform a business Gill (and many others) believed was underappreciated by the market.</p>\n<p>GameStop CEO Matt Furlong's first day on the job was Monday.

Get the Morning Brief sent directly to your inbox every Monday to Friday by 6:30 a.m. ET. Subscribe\nThe \"meme trade\" has been one of the market's defining trades this year.\nAnd while some investors have chosen to ignore the action we've seen in shares of GameStop (GME) or AMC (AMC) amid a value rotation, rising bond yields, and a booming economy, these retail-driven trading frenzies are starting to reshape the fundamentals of these businesses. They're more than just a sideshow.\nEarlier this month, we argued AMC's capital raises into a frenzied stock market created a blueprint for how management teams need to approach the meme market. Stock sale announcements by second-tier meme plays like Express (EXPR) and MicroVision (MVIS) shows how executives are starting to follow this playbook.\nBut after some hesitation, the grandaddy of all meme names — GameStop — has also taken this environment as an opportunity to reshape its balance sheet and help drive growth for the future.\nThese moves show how consequential the meme trade can be.\nGameStop said on Tuesday it completed its recently announced 5 million share \"at-the-money\" stock offering. The offering brought in some $1.126 billion to the company and adds to the $551 million the company raised with its 3.5 million share offering completed back in the spring.\nAnd so in the last three months, the company has sold 8.5 million shares at an average price of around $197, and raised a whopping $1.677 billion.\nIt was just under a year ago that Keith Gill published his first YouTube video outlining the thesis that GameStop shares were undervalued, heavily shorted, and likely to rise significantly in price. At the time, GameStop was trading around $4 per share, with the company valued at about $260 million.\nOn Tuesday, shares closed the trading session above $220, giving the company a market capitalization just north of $15 billion.\nIn July 2020, with shares at $4 a piece, GameStop would've had to issue upwards of 400 million shares to raise the amount of money it has in the last few months. Instead, the unexpected and long-lasting rally in its shares allowed the company to sell just 3% of what would've been required to raise a similar amount just one year ago.\nAnd let's be clear — there is no chance GameStop could've issued that amount of stock last year. With more than $400 million in long-term debt on its balance sheet and a market capitalization under $300 million, raising $1.7 billion in equity would've been a near impossibility.\nIn short, GameStop raised a ton of money without significantly penalizing existing shareholders — 8.5 million shares totals about 12% of the company's shares outstanding as of May 1. In addition, it raised an amount of working capital the company would never have been able to access without the rally while sustaining the high price of the company's stock.\nWith the capital GameStop has raised this year, the company paid down all of its long-term debt, and gave its new management team — led by a slew of Amazon (AMZN) veterans — the firepower they need to try and transform a business Gill (and many others) believed was underappreciated by the market.\nGameStop CEO Matt Furlong's first day on the job was Monday. So far, GameStop has said only that it hopes to use this capital \"for general corporate purposes as well as for investing in growth initiatives and maintaining a strong balance sheet.\" This is boilerplate language.\nAnd in many ways, raising this money was the easy part. How Furlong and the new executive team at GameStop deploy this capital will be a defining event in their careers. But to even be in this position would've been unthinkable for GameStop investors and managers at this time last year.\nJust something to keep in mind the next time someone tells you that what happens online isn't real life.\nWhat to watch today\nEconomy \n\n7:00 a.m. ET: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended June 18 (4.2% during prior week)\n8:30 a.m. ET: Current Account Balance, Q1 (-$206.2 billion expected, -$188.5 billion during prior quarter)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Manufacturing PMI, June preliminary (61.5 expected, 62.1 in May)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Services PMI, June preliminary (69.9 expected, 70.4 in May)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Composite PMI, June preliminary (68.7 in May)\n10:00 a.m. ET: New home sales, May (865,000 expected, 863,000 in April)\n\nEarnings\n\nNo notable reports scheduled for release \n\nYahoo Finance Highlights\nQuality stocks haven't been this cheap in more than 20 years\nGovernment health care is overtaking private coverage\n3 reasons why airline delays and cancellations could persist this summer","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":121060731,"gmtCreate":1624444898523,"gmtModify":1703836867467,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp;&nbsp;really&nbsp;","listText":"&nbsp;&nbsp;really&nbsp;","text":"really","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121060731","repostId":"1145825451","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145825451","pubTimestamp":1624433586,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1145825451?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-23 15:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why I Believe NIO Will Beat Out Tesla","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145825451","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.Super fans of the latest and greatest high-endTesla, Inc. model received some disappointing news a week ago when CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the release of its highly anticipated Model S Plaid Plus with a tweet on June 6.Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.The go","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Super fans of the latest and greatest high-end<b>Tesla, Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:<b>TSLA</b>) model received some disappointing news a week ago when CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the release of its highly anticipated Model S Plaid Plus with a tweet on June 6.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b294a3604c7ba82bd19b3c70be3a4020\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: nrqemi / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>Musk wrote there was… “No need, as Plaid is just so good.”</p>\n<p>The Model S Plaid Plus was supposed to be the fastest, most powerful and priciest version of the company’s Model S.

Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.</p>\n<p>This is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.</p>\n<p>However, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>I’m talking about&nbsp;<b>Nio, Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio back in February.</p>\n<p>The company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.</p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies like<b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>), another one of my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.</p>\n<p>With the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.</p>\n<p>That means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.</p>\n<p>Shares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”</p>\n<p>Interestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.</p>\n<p>In other words, NIO represents the<b>crème de la crème</b>of EV stocks right now.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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 I Believe NIO Will Beat Out Tesla</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 I Believe NIO Will Beat Out Tesla\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 15:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/why-i-believe-nio-will-beat-out-tesla/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.\n\nSuper fans of the latest and greatest high-endTesla, Inc.(NASDAQ:TSLA) model received some disappointing news a week ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/why-i-believe-nio-will-beat-out-tesla/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉","NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/why-i-believe-nio-will-beat-out-tesla/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1145825451","content_text":"The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.\n\nSuper fans of the latest and greatest high-endTesla, Inc.(NASDAQ:TSLA) model received some disappointing news a week ago when CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the release of its highly anticipated Model S Plaid Plus with a tweet on June 6.\nSource: nrqemi / Shutterstock.com\nMusk wrote there was… “No need, as Plaid is just so good.”\nThe Model S Plaid Plus was supposed to be the fastest, most powerful and priciest version of the company’s Model S.

It’s why I put NIO on myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio back in February.\nThe company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.\nThe company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies likeNVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA), another one of myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.\nNow, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.\nWith the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.\nThat means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.\nShares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”\nInterestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.\nIn other words, NIO represents thecrème de la crèmeof EV stocks right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":231,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165685538,"gmtCreate":1624126917324,"gmtModify":1703829162762,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wulala","listText":"Wulala","text":"Wulala","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165685538","repostId":"1113942445","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137567062,"gmtCreate":1622364682056,"gmtModify":1704183510639,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/137567062","repostId":"2138948877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138948877","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1622215813,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138948877?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.Seaworthy Travel Stocks Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130780397,"gmtCreate":1621565856419,"gmtModify":1704359782640,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Sad]&nbsp;","listText":"[Sad]&nbsp;","text":"[Sad]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130780397","repostId":"2137763179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137763179","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":1621544173,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2137763179?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-21 04:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends to snap 3-day losing streak as technology stocks rise higher","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137763179","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 20 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rebounded on Thursday after a three-day slide, buoyed ","content":"<p>May 20 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rebounded on Thursday after a three-day slide, buoyed by gains in technology stocks as the smallest weekly jobless claims since the start of a pandemic-driven recession lifted the mood.</p><p>Bitcoin clawed back some lost ground to trade near $40,000 a day after a brutal selloff, helping renew appetite for risk.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375966057,"gmtCreate":1619278661979,"gmtModify":1704722066497,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375966057","repostId":"1166519043","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":157,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372801511,"gmtCreate":1619188631033,"gmtModify":1704721048057,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"comment","listText":"comment","text":"comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372801511","repostId":"1143062408","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143062408","pubTimestamp":1619162341,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1143062408?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-23 15:19","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Names Wong as New Finance Minister in Cabinet Shake-Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143062408","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his ","content":"<p>Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his prominence as the city-state reboots its leadership transition plan.</p>\n<p>The appointment follows Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat’s surprise announcement about two weeks ago that he’sstepping asideas the designated successor to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong within the People’s Action Party, which has led the country since independence.

Here's what happened.\n\nWhen Robinhood sudde","content":"<blockquote>\n Monday, April 19 marked an important initial court date. Here's what happened.\n</blockquote>\n<p>When Robinhood suddenly set buying restrictions at the height of the GameStop trading frenzy in the early months of 2021, users reacted with fury.</p>\n<p>Now, the legal journey begins in earnest on Monday for those angry investors.</p>\n<p>April 19 marked the initial court date following a judicial panel's decision to bunch together nearly 40 lawsuits -- and possibly more -- in front of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Miami federal judge who will handle the \"multi-district litigation.\" The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> (ZM) call had nearly 140 lawyers and other attendees listening, according to the count from one court staff assisting with logistics.</p>\n<p>But there is one big snag: If these plaintiffs think investment decisions are complicated and don't like sluggish responses to their decisions, well, experts say, they ain't seen nothin' yet.</p>\n<p>\"Even though all of this is designed to expedite proceedings, this still takes forever. These cases drag on for years,\" said Sergio Campos, a professor at the University of Miami School of Law who teaches civil procedure and complex litigation. \"The complexity of the issues alone suggest we are looking at years.\"</p>\n<p>The January and February trading spree -- fueled, at least in part, by members of Reddit's WallStreetBets forum -- gave a massive price boost to heavily-shorted stocks like GameStop <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a> and AMC Entertainment <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a>.</p>\n<p>But as volatility intensified, trading platforms like Robinhood, the brokerage app popular with young investors, applied temporary trading restrictions.</p>\n<p>Vladimir Tenev, Robinhood's co-CEO, would later tell lawmakers his company had to take that step to raise capital from its own investors as it met its collateral requirements on the tower of trades.</p>\n<p>\"Despite the unprecedented market conditions in January, at the end of the day, what happened is unacceptable to us,\" Tenev said during a February hearing before the House of Representative's Financial Services Committee. \"To our customers, I'm sorry and I apologize.\"</p>\n<p>Other brokerage platforms, including TD Ameritrade , also temporarily applied certain restrictions. Spokespeople for Robinhood, TD Ameritrade and Webull declined to comment on the litigation.</p>\n<p>Tenev's apologies did not mollify some aggrieved investors, and class-action cases have cropped up from California to Connecticut, Texas to Florida.</p>\n<p>The lawsuits have their differences but they all revolve around the allegation that the brokerage platforms broke their promise with users to let them trade as they saw fit, according to court papers.</p>\n<p>Some also allege Robinhood limited trading to help institutional investors \" in a filing.</p>\n<p>This is where a procedural, but significant step comes in.</p>\n<p>The defendant companies, from Robinhood down the line, supported the idea of centralizing the proceedings in one courthouse. (Most of the cases only name Robinhood as a defendant, but court papers say other cases rope in more than 40 brokers, funds and clearinghouses.) Most of the plaintiffs backed the idea as well.</p>\n<p>On April 1, a three-judge panel agreed with the approach.</p>\n<p>\"Given the number of parties and counsel, centralization is the only practicable means of coordinating the pretrial proceedings in this litigation,\" the three judges wrote in a case docket entitled \"In Re: January 2021 Short Squeeze Trading Litigation.\"</p>\n<p>The panel counted 39 pending cases in 14 different jurisdictions. The parties alerted the court to another 15 related cases ahead of its decision.</p>\n<p>The panel handed the basket of cases to District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga, sitting in the Southern District of Florida. Ten of the actions are pending in Florida and four were filed in Altonaga's courthouse.</p>\n<p>Altonaga is an \"able jurist with multidistrict litigation experience,\" the panel wrote. Past cases from the judge, nominated during the George W. Bush administration, include a multidistrict case related to denture cream .</p>\n<p>The panel wrote it was \"confident that Judge Altonaga will steer this litigation on an efficient and prudent course.\"</p>\n<p>So, where to next? The sequence of events matter for Robinhood as it prepares for an IPO and spars with Massachusetts regulators who say it put its own interests ahead of customers. It also matters for rookie retail investors who are learning the market, and say Robinhood's restrictions wrongly put them at a disadvantage.</p>\n<p>'She has the power to do everything, soup to nuts'</p>\n<p>The multi-district litigation may be new for young investors, but it's not novel for the federal court system, which applies the approach when widespread events spur lawsuits. That includes occurrences like faulty consumer products, dangerous medication or data breaches.</p>\n<p>The courts had 187 multidistrict litigation cases on its docket as of mid-April, statistics show .</p>\n<p>From here on, Altonaga has the ability to decide important topics like evidence disputes and class certification, said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VCCTF\">Victoria</a> Sahani, a professor and associate dean at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.</p>\n<p>The judge can also rule on defense motions to toss the case ahead of trial, Sahani said.</p>\n<p>\"She has the power to do everything, soup to nuts,\" Sahani said.</p>\n<p>Once all pre-trial matters are determined, the parties can opt to stick with Altonaga for the trial. Or the case can go back to the original court where it was filed -- that is, if the case even gets to a trial. Few civil cases get to that point, either because of settlement or dismissal, Sahani noted.</p>\n<p>Robinhood's attorneys are wagering the cases will not go far. \"We will not get past motions to dismiss,\" Kevin Orsini, a partner at Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore, Robinhood's laywer said during Monday's court conference. Robinhood had important factors like Securities and Exchange Commission statements and court rulings on its side, he said.</p>\n<p>The plaintiffs' side begged to differ on Monday. \"We think Robinhood and the brokers are not allowed to do what they did,\" said Jeffrey Klafter, of Klafter Lesser.</p>\n<p>Cases might also end up in an arbitrator's office rather than a courtroom.

The China-based online content company offered 55 million ADS in the IPO to raise $522.5 million, while the pricing valued the company at about $5.31 billion.</p><p>Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p><p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability.

One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.Major Shareholders of ZhihuThe founder & CEO Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.Key DemographicsThe diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.Revenue BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353222752,"gmtCreate":1616503308376,"gmtModify":1704794937546,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great to buy&nbsp;","listText":"Great to buy&nbsp;","text":"Great to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353222752","repostId":"2121084489","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2121084489","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":1616500753,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2121084489?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-23 19:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop loses second senior exec as shakeup deepens","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2121084489","media":"Reuters","summary":"March 23 (Reuters) - GameStop Corp said on Tuesday its chief customer officer Frank Hamlin will resi","content":"<p>March 23 (Reuters) - GameStop Corp said on Tuesday its chief customer officer Frank Hamlin will resign from the company by March 31, pointing to a deepening of changes driven by its new biggest shareholder, Chewy.com co-founder Ryan Cohen.</p>\n<p>This is the second executive departure at GameStop since it tapped Cohen to spearhead a transition to e-commerce.

That forced changes to the long-telegraphed transition, leaving the party to seek a successor among its younger leaders before the next election due by 2025.\nSince founding father Lee Kuan Yew relinquished power some three decades ago, Singapore’s politics have been so well choreographed and predictable that they’re often joked about as dull. Local markets barely budged on Heng’s announcement earlier this month that he was stepping out of the running. Analysts have said they expect Singapore to remain politically stable.\nThough no clear successor to Lee was identified Friday, the finance minister selection could be a signal of who among the party’s “fourth-generation” leaders ultimately might be positioned for the top job. Heng was named finance chief in 2015 and added the deputy prime minister role to his portfolio in 2019. Lee himself was also finance minister previously, though his predecessor Goh Chok Tong didn’t hold that role.\nCovid Leadership\nWong, 48, has seen his profile rise as co-chair of the government task force for fighting Covid-19.

Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability.

One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.Major Shareholders of ZhihuThe founder & CEO Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.Key DemographicsThe diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.Revenue BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years.

In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.One of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content. The number of paying users in China’s online content communities is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.1% between 2019 and 2025, which means an increase of 360.4 million extra paying users of online content communities to 588.2 million in 2025.China's Online Content MarketChina's online content market tripled from 2015 to reach 1.2 trillion RMB in 2019.

These cases drag on for years,\" said Sergio Campos, a professor at the University of Miami School of Law who teaches civil procedure and complex litigation. \"The complexity of the issues alone suggest we are looking at years.\"</p>\n<p>The January and February trading spree -- fueled, at least in part, by members of Reddit's WallStreetBets forum -- gave a massive price boost to heavily-shorted stocks like GameStop <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a> and AMC Entertainment <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a>.</p>\n<p>But as volatility intensified, trading platforms like Robinhood, the brokerage app popular with young investors, applied temporary trading restrictions.</p>\n<p>Vladimir Tenev, Robinhood's co-CEO, would later tell lawmakers his company had to take that step to raise capital from its own investors as it met its collateral requirements on the tower of trades.</p>\n<p>\"Despite the unprecedented market conditions in January, at the end of the day, what happened is unacceptable to us,\" Tenev said during a February hearing before the House of Representative's Financial Services Committee. \"To our customers, I'm sorry and I apologize.\"</p>\n<p>Other brokerage platforms, including TD Ameritrade , also temporarily applied certain restrictions.

(Most of the cases only name Robinhood as a defendant, but court papers say other cases rope in more than 40 brokers, funds and clearinghouses.) Most of the plaintiffs backed the idea as well.</p>\n<p>On April 1, a three-judge panel agreed with the approach.</p>\n<p>\"Given the number of parties and counsel, centralization is the only practicable means of coordinating the pretrial proceedings in this litigation,\" the three judges wrote in a case docket entitled \"In Re: January 2021 Short Squeeze Trading Litigation.\"</p>\n<p>The panel counted 39 pending cases in 14 different jurisdictions. The parties alerted the court to another 15 related cases ahead of its decision.</p>\n<p>The panel handed the basket of cases to District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga, sitting in the Southern District of Florida.

Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge. Therefore, my general bullishness in&nbsp;<b>Churchill Capital</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCIV</u></b>) seems contradictory. Wouldn’t CCIV stock succumb to the difficulties?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/521b487b052e6677651c06981adc8993\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: gg5795 / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>Adding the most skepticism is that Lucid Motors is about as aspirational of a company as you can get. Technically, the term is pre-revenue, which is just euphemism for aspirational, which is also euphemism for extremely speculative. But that’s not going to appeal to investors of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) which Lucid will reverse merger with. So pre-revenue it is for CCIV stock.</p>\n<p>Markets analyst Joanna Makris pointed out the other glaring problem with the EV hopeful and that’s valuation. Simply put, you can make the argument that the premium for CCIV stock is completely out of touch with reality. She wrote:</p>\n<blockquote>\n While Lucid’s valuation falls short of the previous $42 billion estimate, it’s still aggressive by any measure. As a comparison, at an implied $38 billion,&nbsp;Lucid would trade at the&nbsp;same market capitalization&nbsp;as&nbsp;\n <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:\n <b>TSLA</b>) in early 2017.But there’s another wrench in Lucid’s numbers, so to speak. Lucid’s final valuation will depend on what portion of Lucid’s PIPE investors cash in on redemptions. The PIPE priced at $15 — a roughly 60% discount to CCIV’s current $24 share price.&nbsp;With the lockup expiring in September, there’s a high likelihood that these short-term insiders take their profits. And that’s&nbsp;another reason for downside in CCIV stock.\n</blockquote>\n<p>With so many challenges in Lucid’s pipeline, is playing this reverse merger worth a shot?</p>\n<p><b>CCIV Stock Is Strangely the EV Investment You Can Trust</b></p>\n<p>I’ll expand on an issue that I only briefly mentioned above and that’s infrastructure. If the U.S. were to make a pivot to EVs, infrastructure to around the level that you see gasoline stations today for combustion cars is a must. For various reasons, we can’t all just charge at home.</p>\n<p>But to loosely paraphrase Dr. Emmett Brown, “Infrastructure? Where we’re going, we don’t need infrastructure.”</p>\n<p>While so many EV companies — and legacy automakers pivoting toward EVs — have their eyes on building vehicles for the average household, Lucid is going completely the opposite direction.

Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge. Therefore, my general bullishness in Churchill Capital(NYSE:CCIV) seems contradictory. Wouldn’t CCIV stock succumb to the difficulties?\nSource: gg5795 / Shutterstock.com\nAdding the most skepticism is that Lucid Motors is about as aspirational of a company as you can get. Technically, the term is pre-revenue, which is just euphemism for aspirational, which is also euphemism for extremely speculative. But that’s not going to appeal to investors of the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) which Lucid will reverse merger with. So pre-revenue it is for CCIV stock.\nMarkets analyst Joanna Makris pointed out the other glaring problem with the EV hopeful and that’s valuation. Simply put, you can make the argument that the premium for CCIV stock is completely out of touch with reality. She wrote:\n\n While Lucid’s valuation falls short of the previous $42 billion estimate, it’s still aggressive by any measure. As a comparison, at an implied $38 billion, Lucid would trade at the same market capitalization as \n Tesla (NASDAQ:\n TSLA) in early 2017.But there’s another wrench in Lucid’s numbers, so to speak. Lucid’s final valuation will depend on what portion of Lucid’s PIPE investors cash in on redemptions. The PIPE priced at $15 — a roughly 60% discount to CCIV’s current $24 share price. With the lockup expiring in September, there’s a high likelihood that these short-term insiders take their profits. And that’s another reason for downside in CCIV stock.\n\nWith so many challenges in Lucid’s pipeline, is playing this reverse merger worth a shot?\nCCIV Stock Is Strangely the EV Investment You Can Trust\nI’ll expand on an issue that I only briefly mentioned above and that’s infrastructure. If the U.S. were to make a pivot to EVs, infrastructure to around the level that you see gasoline stations today for combustion cars is a must. For various reasons, we can’t all just charge at home.\nBut to loosely paraphrase Dr. Emmett Brown, “Infrastructure? Where we’re going, we don’t need infrastructure.”\nWhile so many EV companies — and legacy automakers pivoting toward EVs — have their eyes on building vehicles for the average household, Lucid is going completely the opposite direction. Specifically focused on premium luxury EVs, the company’s cheapest offering start at just under $70,000. For context, themedian U.S. household income was $68,703 in 2019.\nLogically, the folks that are even considering buying Lucid EVs already have access to ample charging infrastructure: their own. Yes, I understand that someone making $70,000 could conceivably go out and buy one. But most people don’t spend 100% of their pre-tax income on a car. That would be nuts.\nPlus, you’ve got to figure that Lucid’s target audience would already have another vehicle at the ready, whether electric or not. Sure, multiple variables exist with CCIV stock. But infrastructure concerns will not be one of them.\nHowever, you can’t say that if you’re aiming for the lower end of the price spectrum.

Usually, that’s a superfluous purchase in that area due to the abundance of public transport options and that owning a car is a pain.

They're more than just a sideshow.</p>\n<p>Earlier this month, we argued AMC's capital raises into a frenzied stock market created a blueprint for how management teams need to approach the meme market. Stock sale announcements by second-tier meme plays like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a> (EXPR) and MicroVision (MVIS) shows how executives are starting to follow this playbook.</p>\n<p>But after some hesitation, the grandaddy of all meme names — GameStop — has also taken this environment as an opportunity to reshape its balance sheet and help drive growth for the future.</p>\n<p>These moves show how consequential the meme trade can be.</p>\n<p>GameStop said on Tuesday it completed its recently announced 5 million share \"at-the-money\" stock offering. The offering brought in some $1.126 billion to the company and adds to the $551 million the company raised with its 3.5 million share offering completed back in the spring.</p>\n<p>And so in the last three months, the company has sold 8.5 million shares at an average price of around $197, and raised a whopping $1.677 billion.</p>\n<p>It was just under a year ago that Keith Gill published his first YouTube video outlining the thesis that GameStop shares were undervalued, heavily shorted, and likely to rise significantly in price. At the time, GameStop was trading around $4 per share, with the company valued at about $260 million.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday, shares closed the trading session above $220, giving the company a market capitalization just north of $15 billion.</p>\n<p>In July 2020, with shares at $4 a piece, GameStop would've had to issue upwards of 400 million shares to raise the amount of money it has in the last few months. Instead, the unexpected and long-lasting rally in its shares allowed the company to sell just 3% of what would've been required to raise a similar amount just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> year ago.</p>\n<p>And let's be clear — there is no chance GameStop could've issued that amount of stock last year. With more than $400 million in long-term debt on its balance sheet and a market capitalization under $300 million, raising $1.7 billion in equity would've been a near impossibility.</p>\n<p>In short, GameStop raised a ton of money without significantly penalizing existing shareholders — 8.5 million shares totals about 12% of the company's shares outstanding as of May 1. In addition, it raised an amount of working capital the company would never have been able to access without the rally while sustaining the high price of the company's stock.</p>\n<p>With the capital GameStop has raised this year, the company paid down all of its long-term debt, and gave its new management team — led by a slew of Amazon (AMZN) veterans — the firepower they need to try and transform a business Gill (and many others) believed was underappreciated by the market.</p>\n<p>GameStop CEO Matt Furlong's first day on the job was Monday.

Get the Morning Brief sent directly to your inbox every Monday to Friday by 6:30 a.m. ET. Subscribe\nThe \"meme trade\" has been one of the market's defining trades this year.\nAnd while some investors have chosen to ignore the action we've seen in shares of GameStop (GME) or AMC (AMC) amid a value rotation, rising bond yields, and a booming economy, these retail-driven trading frenzies are starting to reshape the fundamentals of these businesses. They're more than just a sideshow.\nEarlier this month, we argued AMC's capital raises into a frenzied stock market created a blueprint for how management teams need to approach the meme market. Stock sale announcements by second-tier meme plays like Express (EXPR) and MicroVision (MVIS) shows how executives are starting to follow this playbook.\nBut after some hesitation, the grandaddy of all meme names — GameStop — has also taken this environment as an opportunity to reshape its balance sheet and help drive growth for the future.\nThese moves show how consequential the meme trade can be.\nGameStop said on Tuesday it completed its recently announced 5 million share \"at-the-money\" stock offering. The offering brought in some $1.126 billion to the company and adds to the $551 million the company raised with its 3.5 million share offering completed back in the spring.\nAnd so in the last three months, the company has sold 8.5 million shares at an average price of around $197, and raised a whopping $1.677 billion.\nIt was just under a year ago that Keith Gill published his first YouTube video outlining the thesis that GameStop shares were undervalued, heavily shorted, and likely to rise significantly in price. At the time, GameStop was trading around $4 per share, with the company valued at about $260 million.\nOn Tuesday, shares closed the trading session above $220, giving the company a market capitalization just north of $15 billion.\nIn July 2020, with shares at $4 a piece, GameStop would've had to issue upwards of 400 million shares to raise the amount of money it has in the last few months. Instead, the unexpected and long-lasting rally in its shares allowed the company to sell just 3% of what would've been required to raise a similar amount just one year ago.\nAnd let's be clear — there is no chance GameStop could've issued that amount of stock last year. With more than $400 million in long-term debt on its balance sheet and a market capitalization under $300 million, raising $1.7 billion in equity would've been a near impossibility.\nIn short, GameStop raised a ton of money without significantly penalizing existing shareholders — 8.5 million shares totals about 12% of the company's shares outstanding as of May 1. In addition, it raised an amount of working capital the company would never have been able to access without the rally while sustaining the high price of the company's stock.\nWith the capital GameStop has raised this year, the company paid down all of its long-term debt, and gave its new management team — led by a slew of Amazon (AMZN) veterans — the firepower they need to try and transform a business Gill (and many others) believed was underappreciated by the market.\nGameStop CEO Matt Furlong's first day on the job was Monday. So far, GameStop has said only that it hopes to use this capital \"for general corporate purposes as well as for investing in growth initiatives and maintaining a strong balance sheet.\" This is boilerplate language.\nAnd in many ways, raising this money was the easy part. How Furlong and the new executive team at GameStop deploy this capital will be a defining event in their careers. But to even be in this position would've been unthinkable for GameStop investors and managers at this time last year.\nJust something to keep in mind the next time someone tells you that what happens online isn't real life.\nWhat to watch today\nEconomy \n\n7:00 a.m. ET: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended June 18 (4.2% during prior week)\n8:30 a.m. ET: Current Account Balance, Q1 (-$206.2 billion expected, -$188.5 billion during prior quarter)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Manufacturing PMI, June preliminary (61.5 expected, 62.1 in May)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Services PMI, June preliminary (69.9 expected, 70.4 in May)\n9:45 a.m. ET: Markit U.S. Composite PMI, June preliminary (68.7 in May)\n10:00 a.m. ET: New home sales, May (865,000 expected, 863,000 in April)\n\nEarnings\n\nNo notable reports scheduled for release \n\nYahoo Finance Highlights\nQuality stocks haven't been this cheap in more than 20 years\nGovernment health care is overtaking private coverage\n3 reasons why airline delays and cancellations could persist this summer","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":121063055,"gmtCreate":1624444977777,"gmtModify":1703836869416,"author":{"id":"3579351675564800","authorId":"3579351675564800","name":"Wookaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d13f2b4ff94c3f0d585387fba72a9aa7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell","listText":"Sell","text":"Sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/121063055","repostId":"2145509616","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145509616","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":1624441324,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2145509616?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-23 17:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alfi Inc shares set to fall from record highs, 'meme stock' Torchlight sinks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145509616","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 23 (Reuters) - Shares of software firm Alfi Inc fell 10% in early deals on Wednesday after more","content":"<p>June 23 (Reuters) - Shares of software firm Alfi Inc fell 10% in early deals on Wednesday after more than doubling in value in the previous session, in a move evocative of the so-called \"meme stock\" frenzy that has gripped equity markets this year.</p>\n<p>Alfi's stock was trading at around $14.65 per share by 5:26 a.m. ET after ending Tuesday's session at a record high of $16.29, and was again among the most heavily traded stocks before the bell.</p>\n<p>Some social media users and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> portfolio manager on Tuesday cited a Benzinga.com report that Alfi planned to buy back stock as helping to fuel the rally.</p>\n<p>Shares of a group of heavily shorted companies including video game retailer GameStop Corp and cinema operator AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc have seen wild swings this year in a phenomenon dubbed the \"meme stock\" rally that has been driven by small-time traders on online discussion forums.</p>\n<p>Although short interest in Alfi last stood at 3.85% of free float, according to Refinitiv data, the company was among the top 10 trending stocks on trading-focused social media site Stocktwits, a platform commonly seen as a measure of interest from retail investors.</p>\n<p>Another retail darling, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRCH\">Torchlight Energy Resources Inc</a></p>\n<p>, sank 10% in premarket trading, extending a 30% slide in the previous session after it upsized its stock offering to $250 million.</p>\n<p>GameStop has also cashed in on the Reddit-driven rally in its stock, saying on Tuesday it had raised $1.13 billion in its latest share offering.
