Berkshire would need to gain about $300 billion in market cap to catch Tesla, as of this past weekend.</p><p>Historically, Buffett's company has been virtually unstoppable. Even though Berkshire Hathaway doesn't increase in value every year, Buffett has overseen an average annual return of better than 20% since taking the helm as CEO in 1965. Put another way, shareholders have doubled their money holding Berkshire Hathaway stock, on average, every 3.6 years for close to six decades.</p><p>One of the key reasons Berkshire Hathaway is such a success -- aside from being led by Warren Buffett -- is due to its investment portfolio being packed with cyclical companies. Cyclical businesses perform well when the U.S. and global economy are expanding and struggle when recessions arise. The thing is, recessions typically last for a few months or a couple of quarters, whereas economic expansions are often measured in years. Buffett and his investing team are playing a simple numbers game where patience is the not-so-secret ingredient to wealth-building.</p><p>Berkshire Hathaway is also raking in passive income. This year alone, Buffett's company is on pace to collect well north of $5 billion in dividend income. Over $4 billion in payouts will come from just a half-dozen holdings. This dividend income allows Berkshire to thrive in virtually any economic environment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F675971%2Fcredit-card-credit-score-debt-consumption-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>If everything went just right: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p>A second well-known stock that has all the tools necessary to surpass Tesla's market cap, but would need things to continue to go its way, is payment processor <b>Visa</b>.

Blockchain offers a way to circumvent banks and financial institutions to process payments quickly and cheaply. Visa is a payment processor on traditional merchant networks and will need payments to continue to flow through those channels if it's to have any chance of surpassing Tesla's market cap.</p><p>Similar to Berkshire Hathaway, Visa benefits from the cyclical nature of financial stocks. Since economic expansions last disproportionately longer than contractions and recessions, Visa spends most of its time benefiting from an increase in consumer and enterprise spending.

Although lending would generate net interest income and fee revenue, it would also expose Visa to loan delinquencies during recessions. Since there's no loan exposure, there's no need for the company to set aside capital to cover possible losses during recessions.

With a market cap of $240 billion, Broadcom would need to more than quadruple just to catch Tesla at its current valuation.</p><p>The reason I've classified Broadcom as a "long shot" is the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. Even though periods of expansion handily outlast contractions and recessions, Wall Street has typically kept a low ceiling on price-to-earnings multiples for large chipmakers.</p><p>On the other hand, there are multiple avenues for Broadcom to generate high-single-digit to low-double-digit annual sales growth throughout the decade. Currently, it generates the bulk of its revenue from wireless chips and assorted solutions used in next-generation smartphones. Telecom companies upgrading wireless infrastructure to 5G should lead to a multiyear device replacement cycle that keeps demand and pricing power high for Broadcom's smartphone solutions.</p><p>However, it's the company's ancillary opportunities that could hold the key to surpassing Tesla. For example, Broadcom supplies connectivity and access chips used in data centers. With businesses shifting their data and that of their clients into the cloud at an accelerated pace in the wake of the pandemic, data center demand shouldn't slow anytime soon. Broadcom supplies chips used in next-gen vehicles, too.</p><p>A final factor working in Broadcom's favor is its historically high backlog of $14.9 billion. This is a company that's booking production well into 2023, according to CEO Hock Tan. If Broadcom can maintain a large backlog of orders, its operating cash flow and valuation can steadily increase.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Tesla by 2030</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Tesla by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-28 20:46 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/28/3-stocks-could-be-worth-more-than-tesla-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market is more dynamic than you probably realize.

If Broadcom can maintain a large backlog of orders, its operating cash flow and valuation can steadily increase.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":506,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087838191,"gmtCreate":1650984217444,"gmtModify":1676534827551,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","listText":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","text":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087838191","repostId":"2230462101","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2230462101","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650958471,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2230462101?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-26 15:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Bear Markets Can Help You Create Life-Changing Wealth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2230462101","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There's a good chance a bear market helps you more than it hurts you.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Almost everyone loses in the short-term during a bear market.</li><li>But if you are patient enough to invest in the years following a bear market, you could benefit from buying stocks on sale.</li><li>Unemployment is low and real wages are rising for the lower class.</li></ul><p>Bear markets are periods of time when the stock market is down 20% or more from its all-time high.

Now could be the time to get back in.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The tech sector has left a bad taste in the mouths of investors over the past six months as a 13-year-long bull run came to an unceremonious end. The market began rotating out of previously high-flying tech stocks into more defensive consumer-oriented ones, causing the tech-heavy <b>Nasdaq-100</b> to lose more than 20% of its value -- official bear market territory.</p><p>Since that low point a month ago, the index has rallied again, rising almost 12%. It hasn't reached the levels it started the year at, but investors seem comfortable buying cheap tech stocks again. For those ready to get their feet wet again, these three tech stocks are great buys.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FSLY\">Fastly</a></h2><p>Ever since last summer's internet outage, edge cloud-services provider <b>Fastly</b> ( FSLY ) has been on one long, sometimes dramatic, decline. Shares of the content delivery network (CDN) are down 75% from their highs as growth has slowed and losses persist.</p><p>Yet like the tech index itself, Fastly has bounced off its lows and is 40% above last month's nadir. There's good reason to believe it can continue growing from here on out.</p><p>Fastly ended 2021 on a high note, growing revenue beyond guidance to $97.7 million. This came as its dollar-based net expansion rate, or how much more money the same group of customers from last year is spending on the platform this year, increased to 121% in the fourth quarter versus a 118% increase in the third. And the number of customers grew 34% to over 2,800 as the number of enterprise-level customers jumped 37% year over year.</p><p>Because more businesses continue to move increasing amounts of data online and into the cloud, it will be Fastly they turn to access content quickly and securely. Particularly with the advent of the metaverse -- the virtual world being created where people, companies, and brands can interact with one another -- Fastly ought to be able to capitalize on the need for enhanced computing power to design, build, and operate those virtual worlds. This could explain why analysts estimate the company will grow 30% annually for the next five years.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SHOP\">Shopify</a></h2><p>The drop in price e-commerce platform provider <b>Shopify</b> ( SHOP ) has suffered since November seems to be short-sighted. While the market transitioned out of previous high-flying names, particularly those like Shopify that benefited from the lockdown portion of the pandemic. We saw people flock to the internet to start their own online businesses during that time, but contrary to expectations, the market opportunity is still there. Growth may be slightly slower than the meteoric pace previously set, but it's still meaningfully above its pre-pandemic level.</p><p>Fourth-quarter revenue north of $1.3 billion was 41% greater than the prior year and was 173% more than it reported in 2019 when revenue grew to $505 million, a 47% year-over-year increase. Yet the stock is priced now as though all the growth and improvements to its business over the last two years never happened.</p><p>As the premier provider of tools for entrepreneurs and larger, more established businesses, Shopify is pivoting to assert more control over its operations by becoming a vertically integrated, one-stop shop. It launched Shopify Balance, a merchant money management account; Shopify Capital, a small business loan boutique; Shopify Plus, a fully hosted, enterprise e-commerce platform for fast-growing brands; and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, will soon be available to help businesses and brands better connect with customers.</p><p>One of the effects of the pandemic was it not only gave people the incentive to strike out on their own, but it cemented in the minds of consumers how critical e-commerce is to their lives. Shopify will benefit from both forces moving forward.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></h2><p>I have a confession to make: I dislike <b>Twitter</b> ( TWTR ). Not the stock, per se, but the platform, which has evolved over time to provide heat, but little light on social discourse. But I'm hopeful effective change can be made that allows the short-form message platform to return to its more youthful promise and can grow meaningful revenue and profits.</p><p><b>Tesla </b>CEO Elon Musk buying a massive $2.8 billion stake to become the company's largest shareholder, and then being appointed to Twitter's board of directors (which he then ultimately decided against doing) is one of the catalysts for change, one which the market liked as well. Twitter's stock rocketed 30% higher on the news, though it's still down from its 52-week high.</p><p>Still, Musk is only one person and it's the business underneath that remains key to recovery. Fourth-quarter revenue grew 22% year over year as monetizable daily active users (mDAU) rose 13% year over year to 217 million. It added 1 million DAU in the U.S. and 5 million internationally last quarter. That's key because Twitter's business model, which is online advertising, is primarily driven by increases in mDAU.

The market began rotating out of previously high-flying tech stocks into more defensive consumer-oriented ones, causing the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 to lose more than 20% of its value -- official bear market territory.Since that low point a month ago, the index has rallied again, rising almost 12%. It hasn't reached the levels it started the year at, but investors seem comfortable buying cheap tech stocks again. For those ready to get their feet wet again, these three tech stocks are great buys.1. FastlyEver since last summer's internet outage, edge cloud-services provider Fastly ( FSLY ) has been on one long, sometimes dramatic, decline. Shares of the content delivery network (CDN) are down 75% from their highs as growth has slowed and losses persist.Yet like the tech index itself, Fastly has bounced off its lows and is 40% above last month's nadir. There's good reason to believe it can continue growing from here on out.Fastly ended 2021 on a high note, growing revenue beyond guidance to $97.7 million. This came as its dollar-based net expansion rate, or how much more money the same group of customers from last year is spending on the platform this year, increased to 121% in the fourth quarter versus a 118% increase in the third. And the number of customers grew 34% to over 2,800 as the number of enterprise-level customers jumped 37% year over year.Because more businesses continue to move increasing amounts of data online and into the cloud, it will be Fastly they turn to access content quickly and securely. Particularly with the advent of the metaverse -- the virtual world being created where people, companies, and brands can interact with one another -- Fastly ought to be able to capitalize on the need for enhanced computing power to design, build, and operate those virtual worlds. This could explain why analysts estimate the company will grow 30% annually for the next five years.2. ShopifyThe drop in price e-commerce platform provider Shopify ( SHOP ) has suffered since November seems to be short-sighted. While the market transitioned out of previous high-flying names, particularly those like Shopify that benefited from the lockdown portion of the pandemic. We saw people flock to the internet to start their own online businesses during that time, but contrary to expectations, the market opportunity is still there. Growth may be slightly slower than the meteoric pace previously set, but it's still meaningfully above its pre-pandemic level.Fourth-quarter revenue north of $1.3 billion was 41% greater than the prior year and was 173% more than it reported in 2019 when revenue grew to $505 million, a 47% year-over-year increase. Yet the stock is priced now as though all the growth and improvements to its business over the last two years never happened.As the premier provider of tools for entrepreneurs and larger, more established businesses, Shopify is pivoting to assert more control over its operations by becoming a vertically integrated, one-stop shop. It launched Shopify Balance, a merchant money management account; Shopify Capital, a small business loan boutique; Shopify Plus, a fully hosted, enterprise e-commerce platform for fast-growing brands; and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, will soon be available to help businesses and brands better connect with customers.One of the effects of the pandemic was it not only gave people the incentive to strike out on their own, but it cemented in the minds of consumers how critical e-commerce is to their lives. Shopify will benefit from both forces moving forward.3. TwitterI have a confession to make: I dislike Twitter ( TWTR ). Not the stock, per se, but the platform, which has evolved over time to provide heat, but little light on social discourse. But I'm hopeful effective change can be made that allows the short-form message platform to return to its more youthful promise and can grow meaningful revenue and profits.Tesla CEO Elon Musk buying a massive $2.8 billion stake to become the company's largest shareholder, and then being appointed to Twitter's board of directors (which he then ultimately decided against doing) is one of the catalysts for change, one which the market liked as well. Twitter's stock rocketed 30% higher on the news, though it's still down from its 52-week high.Still, Musk is only one person and it's the business underneath that remains key to recovery. Fourth-quarter revenue grew 22% year over year as monetizable daily active users (mDAU) rose 13% year over year to 217 million. It added 1 million DAU in the U.S. and 5 million internationally last quarter. That's key because Twitter's business model, which is online advertising, is primarily driven by increases in mDAU. And unlike Meta Platform, which said Apple's privacy rule changes greatly impacted Facebook's ad business, Twitter said there was little effect on its own.Twitter plans to grow rapidly over the next two years to hit 315 million daily active users (DAU) and $7.5 billion in revenue by the end of 2023. It also authorized the repurchase of $4 billion worth of stock, a move CFO Ned Segal says \"represents confidence in our strategy and execution.\"With analysts expecting the company to grow around 80% per year for the next few years, Twitter ought to be considered a good, long-term bet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9014400753,"gmtCreate":1649689621930,"gmtModify":1676534551810,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Rise further?","listText":"Rise further?","text":"Rise further?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9014400753","repostId":"1128152564","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1128152564","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1649684888,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1128152564?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-11 21:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Veru Stock Rocketed 42% in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1128152564","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Veru late-stage trial showed its oral COVID-19 treatment reduced deaths","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>MW <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VERU\">Veru</a>'s stock rockets after oral COVID-19 treatment leads to 'statistically meaningful' reduction in deaths.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8bf5ce8f4f5cdd1248f5c19a3298e1f2\" tg-width=\"859\" tg-height=\"665\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Shares of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VERU\">Veru Inc.</a> rocketed 42% in morning trading Monday, after biopharmaceutical company announced positive results from its Phase 3 trial of its oral COVID-19 treatment.</p><p>Veru said patients hospitalized with moderate to severe COVID-19, who were at high risk for adult respiratory distress syndrome ARDS and death, its oral sabizabulin led to a "clinically and statistically meaningful" 55% reduction in deaths.</p><p>The Independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee "unanimously" recommended the Phase 3 trial be halted early because of efficacy, with no safety concerns identified.

Its new leader, University of Michigan economist Susan Collins, will take up the post on July 1.Fed officials raised their benchmark lending rate off zero this month with a quarter-point increase. Since then, several policy makers have said they are open to hiking by a more aggressive half point at their May 3-4 meeting, including Chair Jerome Powell, if necessary to bring price pressures under control.Investors have subsequently increased their bets on the pace of policy tightening, with interest-rate futures pricing in more than eight additional quarter-point increases over the remaining six policy meetings this year, implying that some will be half-point moves.Harker implied that he was not currently in favor of front-loading rate increases, noting that he expects “a series of deliberate, methodical hikes as the year continues and the data evolve.”He said the economy will post another above-trend growth rate of around 3% to 3.5% this year before falling back to trend of around 2% to 2.5% in the next few years. He said inflation will rise 4% this year before falling back toward the 2% target over the next two years.U.S. central bankers have pivoted to a more aggressive posture on raising interest rates following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is putting upward pressure on food and energy costs at a time when inflation is already at a 40-year high. The Fed’s preferred price measure rose 6.1% for the 12-month period ending January, triple its 2% target.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":789,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010783288,"gmtCreate":1648472065101,"gmtModify":1676534341902,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well, it's a decision centered around dollars and cents.

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

profitability, Wall Street's favorite quality proxy.Profitability: Winner, Meta By A Small AmountMeta Profitability Vs PeersGurufocus PremiumAlphabet Profitability Vs PeersGurufocus PremiumBoth companies are profit-minting machines.YchartsThese are two of the most profitable companies on earth, and their industry-leading profitability has been stable or improving for over a decade, confirming a wide and stable moat.FactSet Research TerminalFB's free cash flow is expected to keep growing and reach $77 billion in 2027.This is expected to result in impressive buybacks in the coming

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

Research Terminal, FactSet)In the past year, GOOG's return on capital was higher than FB's and it's also above its 13-year median indicating a more stable moat.In other words, when it comes to profitability, FB edges out GOOG by a small amount, except in terms of return on capital, where it's once more the winner.Valuation: Winner, MetaCompanyAverage Fair ValueCurrent PriceDiscount To Fair

perfect growth blue-chip opportunities as you can find on Wall Street right now.far superior valuationsuperior qualitysuperior long-term return potential to the S&P 500However, when we examine both companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety and quality first, and prudent valuation and sound risk-management always, you never have to pray for luck on Wall Street, you make your own.Luck is what happens when preparation meets, opportunity.\"

The three major indexes were 4.5% to 10.1% lower so far in 2022, according to FactSet.By watching the 10s and 2s TMUBMUSD02Y, 2.280% spread, “You are looking at the expectations of where Fed Reserve interest rate policy is going to be over a period of two years,” Stephens said. “So, effectively, it’s working with a lag.”On average, from the time the 10s and 2s curve inverts, until “there’s a recession, it’s almost two years,” he said, predicting that with unemployment recently pegged around 3.8% that, “this curve is going to invert when the economy is really strong.”The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also called the 3-month TMUBMUSD03M, 0.535% and 10-year curve relationship its “preferred spread measure because it has the strongest predictive power for future recessions,” such as in 2019, back when the yield curve was more regularly flashing recession warning signs.“Did it see COVID coming?” Duffy said, of earlier yield curve inversions.A more likely catalyst was that investors already were on a recession watch, with the American economy in its longest expansion period on record.“There are a number of these curves that you need to look at in totality,” Duffy said. “We’ve always said look at many signals.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":598,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010018308,"gmtCreate":1648203402297,"gmtModify":1676534316750,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"PayPal has also been down, what's your view?","listText":"PayPal has also been down, what's your view?","text":"PayPal has also been down, what's your view?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":2,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010018308","repostId":"2221907148","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2221907148","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1648222340,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2221907148?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-25 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Sell-Off Stocks That Could Help Set You Up for Life","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2221907148","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Short-term headwinds have crushed these stocks, but my investment thesis for each remains strong.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Short-term drops in the market can feel brutal -- even for those keeping a long-term focus.</p><p>Owning a tech-heavy portfolio that has dropped over 25%, I am no exception.

However, by dollar-cost averaging, holding for the long term, and reframing sell-offs as opportunities, it is possible to remain optimistic when facing a correction.Speaking to this third point, let us look at three heavily sold-off stocks that offer the potential to set you up for life.PinterestDriven by its mission \"to help people discover the things they love, and inspire them to do those things in their daily lives,\" idea-incubator Pinterest ( PINS 1.01% ) puts a twist on social media.In a world facing mental health concerns related to social media usage, Pinterest flips the script by providing hope and inspiration -- even if it's only on an aspirational level.Perhaps thanks to this unique connection to its user base, the company saw its share price reach a high of almost $89 in 2021.However, after reaching that high mark, Pinterest saw its monthly active users (MAUs) drop from 478 million in the first quarter of 2021 to 431 million at the end of the year. This drop, paired with PayPal's abandoned acquisition for around $70 per share, has sent the stock down 70% from its peak.So what makes Pinterest interesting now?First, the fears around this MAU decline seem overstated, considering it grew from 367 million in 2019 to 459 million the following year thanks to a pandemic-aided surge. Its subsequent decline in 2021 was far from surprising in hindsight as most of the world reopened, temporarily setting apps like Pinterest on the back burner.Second, despite this pullback in MAUs, its global average revenue per user (ARPU) of $1.93 continues to shine. Up 23% year over year in the fourth quarter, this metric strengthened with a growing ARPU of $7.43 domestically and an international ARPU that was up 62% to $0.57. As Pinterest continues to roll out its shoppable content and advertising base internationally, look for its massive user base to become increasingly profitable to the company.Finally, according to Comparably, Pinterest has a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +50. NPS is rated on a scale of -100 to +100 and captures whether a company's customers would recommend the product. Generally, a positive score is good, while anything above +30 is excellent, making Pinterest's score stand out.Best yet for investors, businesses with excellent NPS scores tend to outperform the market thanks to happier customers. As a result of this NPS score, its remaining international growth runway, and a meager price to free cash flow ratio of just 23, buying and holding Pinterest at these prices could move your retirement years ahead of schedule.Zoom Video CommunicationsLike Pinterest, Zoom Video Communications ( ZM -0.46% ) boasts an excellent NPS of +53 thanks to its suite of hybrid work-enabling products. Famous for its video conferencing software that has become a verb, Zoom is creating new products, its most recent being the Zoom Contact Center.This new offering will act as a customer engagement solution for Zoom's clients and highlights the somewhat quiet growth optionality hidden behind the company's core video product. Whether it's the Zoom phone, events, meetings, or rooms, and now its contact center, the company's unified communications platform is poised to evolve to meet the needs of its ever-expanding customer base.However, with decelerating growth rates that saw revenue increase only 21% in the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter -- compared to growth of 369% the same time last year -- Zoom has seen its stock punished.Now 70% below its 52-week highs, the market is pricing Zoom like it faces an existential crisis, but that couldn't be further from the truth. After generating $1.5 billion in free cash flow (FCF) over the last year, Zoom now trades at just 25 times FCF.Data by YCharts.Any time a company's price to free cash flow ratio approaches its sales growth rate as is the case here, it catches my attention as reasonably priced growth.Zoom's promising NPS, product optionality, and cheap FCF generation make it a prime sell-off stock to consider holding forever.DocuSignRounding out our trio of high NPS stocks is DocuSign ( DOCU 1.84% ) and its excellent score of +53. Led by its popular e-signature product, the company now has its eyes on expanding its broader Agreement Cloud offering.This Agreement Cloud consists of four key pillars: prepare, sign, act, and manage. As e-signature is by far DocuSign's most prominent product, it intends to use a land-and-expand business model to grow its sales.After getting its foot in the door with nearly 1.2 million customers thanks to its e-signature product, it now aims to build upon these relationships by offering anything and everything related to the agreement space.However, with DocuSign seeing its billings growth drop from 56% in fiscal 2021 to 37% in fiscal 2022, the market has sent the stock's price downward.It has also declined nearly 70% from its 52-week high, but this reaction from the market is starting to look overdone. Despite this slowdown in billings growth, DocuSign still posted 45% revenue growth last year and a good net dollar retention rate of 119% in the latest quarter.Net dollar retention measures how much DocuSign's existing customers grew their spending with anything above 100% showing expansion. As time passes, this metric will be vital to investors as it will highlight how the Agreement Cloud's growth is faring.Trading at 44 times free cash flow, DocuSign is the most expensive stock of this trio -- and the fastest growing. However, with its growth rate above its price to free cash flow, the stock still looks attractively priced after its sell-off and could be an excellent holding for long-term investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":605,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3479274713852819","authorId":"3479274713852819","name":"feelond","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a79887b674855832bc9aa9eb15d52498","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3479274713852819","authorIdStr":"3479274713852819"},"content":"yep I added more at 117.79 and 118.40. if pull back I will buy more.

Fears of an economic slowdown have been mounting as the Federal Reserve starts to tighten financial conditions while Russia’s Ukraine invasion threatens to keep key drivers of U.S. inflation high.</p><p>Lately, the attention has been on the 10-year Treasury yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 2.478% and shorter 2-year yield, where the spread fell to 13 basis points on Tuesday, up from a high of about 130 basis points five months ago.</p><p>Read: The yield curve is speeding toward inversion — here’s what investors need to know</p><p>But that’s not the only plot on the Treasury yield curve investors closely watch.

The three major indexes were 4.5% to 10.1% lower so far in 2022, according to FactSet.</p><p>By watching the 10s and 2s TMUBMUSD02Y, 2.280% spread, “You are looking at the expectations of where Fed Reserve interest rate policy is going to be over a period of two years,” Stephens said. “So, effectively, it’s working with a lag.”</p><p>On average, from the time the 10s and 2s curve inverts, until “there’s a recession, it’s almost two years,” he said, predicting that with unemployment recently pegged around 3.8% that, “this curve is going to invert when the economy is really strong.”</p><p>The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also called the 3-month TMUBMUSD03M, 0.535% and 10-year curve relationship its “preferred spread measure because it has the strongest predictive power for future recessions,” such as in 2019, back when the yield curve was more regularly flashing recession warning signs.</p><p>“Did it see COVID coming?” Duffy said, of earlier yield curve inversions.</p><p>A more likely catalyst was that investors already were on a recession watch, with the American economy in its longest expansion period on record.</p><p>“There are a number of these curves that you need to look at in totality,” Duffy said. “We’ve always said look at many signals.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Fears of an economic slowdown have been mounting as the Federal Reserve starts to tighten financial conditions while Russia’s Ukraine invasion threatens to keep key drivers of U.S. inflation high.Lately, the attention has been on the 10-year Treasury yield TMUBMUSD10Y, 2.478% and shorter 2-year yield, where the spread fell to 13 basis points on Tuesday, up from a high of about 130 basis points five months ago.Read: The yield curve is speeding toward inversion — here’s what investors need to knowBut that’s not the only plot on the Treasury yield curve investors closely watch. The Treasury Department sells securities that mature in a range from a few days to 30 years, providing a lot of plots on the curve to follow.“The focus has been on the 10s and 2s,” said Mark Heppenstall, chief investment officer at Penn Mutual Asset Management, in Horsham, Penn, a northern suburb of Philadelphia.“I will hold out until the 10s to 3-month bills inverts before I turn too negative on the economic outlook,” he said, calling it “the best leading indicator of trouble ahead.”Watch 10-year, 3-monthInstead of falling, that spread climbed in March, continuing its path higher since turning negative two years ago at the onset of the pandemic (see chart).The 3-month to 10-year yield spread is climbing Bloomberg data, Goelzer Investment Management“The 3-month Treasury bill really tracks the Federal Reserve’s target rate,” said Gavin Stephens, director of portfolio management at Goelzer Investment Management in Indiana, by phone.“So it gives you a more immediate picture of if the Federal Reserve has entered a restrictive state in terms of monetary policy and, thus, giving the possibility that economic growth is going to contract, which would be bad for stocks.”Stocks were lower Friday, but with the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.51% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.16% still up about 1.2% on the week. The three major indexes were 4.5% to 10.1% lower so far in 2022, according to FactSet.By watching the 10s and 2s TMUBMUSD02Y, 2.280% spread, “You are looking at the expectations of where Fed Reserve interest rate policy is going to be over a period of two years,” Stephens said. “So, effectively, it’s working with a lag.”On average, from the time the 10s and 2s curve inverts, until “there’s a recession, it’s almost two years,” he said, predicting that with unemployment recently pegged around 3.8% that, “this curve is going to invert when the economy is really strong.”The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco also called the 3-month TMUBMUSD03M, 0.535% and 10-year curve relationship its “preferred spread measure because it has the strongest predictive power for future recessions,” such as in 2019, back when the yield curve was more regularly flashing recession warning signs.“Did it see COVID coming?” Duffy said, of earlier yield curve inversions.A more likely catalyst was that investors already were on a recession watch, with the American economy in its longest expansion period on record.“There are a number of these curves that you need to look at in totality,” Duffy said. “We’ve always said look at many signals.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":598,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019895435,"gmtCreate":1648568910425,"gmtModify":1676534355679,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Front loading will probably create more uncertainty & volatility...","listText":"Front loading will probably create more uncertainty & volatility...","text":"Front loading will probably create more uncertainty & volatility...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019895435","repostId":"1145232829","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":789,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9060599399,"gmtCreate":1651160605729,"gmtModify":1676534861675,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"How does Visa compare with MasterCard?","listText":"How does Visa compare with MasterCard?","text":"How does Visa compare with MasterCard?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9060599399","repostId":"2230611412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2230611412","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1651149968,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2230611412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-28 20:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Tesla by 2030","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2230611412","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These proven winners could surpass electric vehicle (EV) kingpin Tesla within eight years.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market is more dynamic than you probably realize.

With a market cap of $240 billion, Broadcom would need to more than quadruple just to catch Tesla at its current valuation.</p><p>The reason I've classified Broadcom as a "long shot" is the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. Even though periods of expansion handily outlast contractions and recessions, Wall Street has typically kept a low ceiling on price-to-earnings multiples for large chipmakers.</p><p>On the other hand, there are multiple avenues for Broadcom to generate high-single-digit to low-double-digit annual sales growth throughout the decade. Currently, it generates the bulk of its revenue from wireless chips and assorted solutions used in next-generation smartphones. Telecom companies upgrading wireless infrastructure to 5G should lead to a multiyear device replacement cycle that keeps demand and pricing power high for Broadcom's smartphone solutions.</p><p>However, it's the company's ancillary opportunities that could hold the key to surpassing Tesla. For example, Broadcom supplies connectivity and access chips used in data centers. With businesses shifting their data and that of their clients into the cloud at an accelerated pace in the wake of the pandemic, data center demand shouldn't slow anytime soon. Broadcom supplies chips used in next-gen vehicles, too.</p><p>A final factor working in Broadcom's favor is its historically high backlog of $14.9 billion. This is a company that's booking production well into 2023, according to CEO Hock Tan. If Broadcom can maintain a large backlog of orders, its operating cash flow and valuation can steadily increase.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Tesla by 2030</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Tesla by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-28 20:46 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/28/3-stocks-could-be-worth-more-than-tesla-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market is more dynamic than you probably realize.

Telecom companies upgrading wireless infrastructure to 5G should lead to a multiyear device replacement cycle that keeps demand and pricing power high for Broadcom's smartphone solutions.However, it's the company's ancillary opportunities that could hold the key to surpassing Tesla. For example, Broadcom supplies connectivity and access chips used in data centers. With businesses shifting their data and that of their clients into the cloud at an accelerated pace in the wake of the pandemic, data center demand shouldn't slow anytime soon. Broadcom supplies chips used in next-gen vehicles, too.A final factor working in Broadcom's favor is its historically high backlog of $14.9 billion. This is a company that's booking production well into 2023, according to CEO Hock Tan. If Broadcom can maintain a large backlog of orders, its operating cash flow and valuation can steadily increase.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":506,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087838191,"gmtCreate":1650984217444,"gmtModify":1676534827551,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","listText":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","text":"Stock selection is key during this period of time.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087838191","repostId":"2230462101","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":484,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9017636819,"gmtCreate":1649771240589,"gmtModify":1676534570615,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tweet tweet","listText":"Tweet tweet","text":"Tweet tweet","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9017636819","repostId":"2226652534","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010288269,"gmtCreate":1648395427547,"gmtModify":1676534333662,"author":{"id":"3579423477100705","authorId":"3579423477100705","name":"YGLim","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a30aba1b358ca42700f11dc26bfcd5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579423477100705","authorIdStr":"3579423477100705"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010288269","repostId":"2221071429","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2221071429","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648343569,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2221071429?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-27 09:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Vs.

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

perfect growth blue-chip opportunities as you can find on Wall Street right now.far superior valuationsuperior qualitysuperior long-term return potential to the S&P 500However, when we examine both companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety and quality first, and prudent valuation and sound risk-management always, you never have to pray for luck on Wall Street, you make your own.Luck is what happens when preparation meets, opportunity.\"
