back during 2022, there are trades that can generate some outperformance.</p> <p>Fritz Jorgensen/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Having worked for a small RIA that managed accounts that in some instances were smaller than $10,000, run<span> a multibillion-dollar trading desk and managed portfolios for a treasury that invested tens of billions of dollars, I have seen every which way to trade various asset classes and come across all different types of traders and investors. I do not think that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> is necessarily better than the other when comparing retail and institutional, but institutions have many more ways to generate cash flows than retail investors due simply to the fact that they can almost always justify \"the juice being worth the squeeze\" if they are so inclined. At the same time, retail investors are able to just move in and out of positions easily due to size and the fact that they generally do not HAVE to hold any particular position.</span></p> <p>Being somewhat of an interloper in the industry, it does provide me with an interesting perspective, especially when you get these heated debates about certain stocks. Generally speaking, you have the retail crowd which is on one extreme or the other (cannot buy enough shares, or cannot sell fast enough) and the institutional crowd forced to hold a name due to benchmarking, indexing, or investment policy requirements. Sometimes, these roles are reversed, where the two groups are pitted against each other (one buying one selling) but historically we have been witness to the retail crowd being split with institutions in the middle. (Note: In my opinion, the meme phenomenon was a rarity in that you had the two sides pitted against each other in a very public manner.)</p> <p>See, retail investors are generally limited to either being long a stock or just not owning it, as they do not want to take on the risk of being short and do not have large enough positions to participate in programs like securities lending, overlay investing, etc. It is a very beautifully simplistic world to operate in, as you only have to own exactly what you like a lot, and just avoid the rest.</p> <p>Institutional investors on the other hand are different animals. When I was over the trading desk, I would make every trade count. I would bundle trades to provide liquidity to other trading desks and take a discount, have our portfolios participating in securities lending, optimize purchases of things we had to own to get access to things we wanted to own. In short, it pays to have an imagination and think outside the box when on the institutional level because it allows you to create alpha on positions that generally hold back everyone's performance (think short-term Treasuries in a fixed-income portfolio when markets are not in duress).</p> <p>Which brings us to the current hot button stock of the day, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> (<span>NASDAQ:FB</span>).</p> <h2>The Situation</h2> <h3>Retail Investors</h3> <p>Everyone by now knows the situation surrounding Meta; there are plenty of great arguments for why this stock is going lower with many of them centered around the updated privacy policy of Apple (AAPL) and what Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) plans to do with its Android OS. Add on issues such as the tens of billions being spent on the development of Meta's metaverse project, user growth stalling at Facebook and word that small and mid-size advertisers are for the first time looking at other avenues for their ad dollars, and yes you have a compelling argument for not being long this stock. The catch is, although you do have a vocal retail crowd who is bearish, the short interest is not elevated compared to many other names (although it is roughly double names like Apple and Alphabet - that is a very low base to compare to as Meta only has 1.32% of its float shorted and those names are 0.50-0.60% of their float shorted).</p> <p>On the other end of the spectrum you have retail traders arguing that the stock needs to be purchased \"hand over fist\" due to the low P/E, continued revenue growth, and earnings forecast to hit an all-time high (on a per share basis) in 2023. Again, compelling arguments but not enough to have moved the stock higher since its sell-off.</p> <h3>Institutional Investors</h3> <p>While there have been some institutional investors who have exited their Meta holdings, many of those were momentum traders and the hedge-fund type. From talking to friends in the industry and reading trading notes, we are surprised at how many who actually seem the most bearish are actually holding their current positions (even if they have decided not to add any additional exposure) or maintaining allocations in their model portfolios. We will admit it is a very strange phenomenon which is most likely due to how large the company is and its sheer size in some of the indices used for benchmarking, but also offers a stark contrast in outlooks of institutional investors who have the same negative opinions on a stock as retail investors but an entirely different posture when it comes to positioning their portfolio.</p> <p>While this may be surprising to some readers, it is important to remember that everyone in this industry is fighting for the same clients and need to post returns that are somewhat similar. This is the problem with benchmarking, and a reason why in some cases institutional investors absolutely behave with herd-like tendencies by owning the underlying asset, but the differentiating factor is how they seek to outperform.</p> <h2>What To Watch</h2> <p>I think some of the recent moves by analysts are quite telling, and indicative of the overall view of the institutional crowd. For instance, Oppenheimer lowered their price target on Meta to $305 from a previous price target of $375 but kept the stock rated outperform. Also keeping the stock rated an outperform but lowering its price target (from $245 to $240) was RBC Capital Markets. Those reports cited a lot of the facts for not being bullish, yet the analysts remained bullish in spite of the privacy policy issues, short-term market share losses, and a potential loss of key customers.</p> <p><figure><img height=\"366\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/4/14/saupload_c1e6e9a789b24d2f22bfe8c2ef742c4d.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"635\"/><figcaption>Data by YCharts</figcaption></figure></p> <p>While the consensus price target is the lowest it has been in years among analysts, there are still an awful lot of bullish calls out there. It could be because many see a low multiple stock trading near what appears to be a level of support, but we think most of this has been window dressing prior to Meta's earnings, which will be announced after the market closes on April 27, 2022.</p> <h2>How We Would Trade This</h2> <p>It is important to keep in mind, that what you want and what you need are two entirely separate things, and two factors driving this trade.</p> <p>On this trade I find myself not overly bearish nor overly bullish, just marginally bullish long-term. I view 2022 as a transitional year, or gap year, in order to get to 2023, and as new investor funds have come in to start the year I do find myself in that institutional predicament of HAVING to add exposure to maintain portfolio target allocations. So, in order to de-risk some of this trade and generate some cash flows, I am going to also sell some calls against the Meta exposure being added.</p> <p>I purchased the additional shares at $212.05/share and sold the October 21, 2022 $250 Calls for $10.85. This option should get me through two earnings releases and allow me the opportunity to reposition just before the October release (whether that means writing a put because my position was called away or writing a new call because the stock remains below the $250 strike on October 21st).</p> <p>I like this trade because it accomplishes a few things. First, we get the exposure to the stock that we need even though we are not expecting the stock to go gangbusters in the near term. Second, we are able to generate an options premium from the sale of the call which was worth a net of $1,084.33 per contract. And lastly, we have locked in a price we are happy to sell at for a short-term gain if the stock closes above $250 on October 21st.</p> <h2>Closing Summary</h2> <p>Since I have to own Meta and do this trade, I like the construction of this trade as it provides some potential alpha. Ignoring what I do with the options premium as far as reinvestment, and focusing just on the potential outcomes from cash flows and calls, we are left with more ways to generate outperformance than underperformance.</p> <p>As long as Meta does not close above $250/share and get called away on October 21st, then we have the options premium generating outperformance if the stock is below where we purchased it or above (and it is worth 5.11% of outperformance if the stock closes unchanged by that day). We also have outperformance locked in even if the stock is called away so long as it does not trade above $260.84/share.

Fritz Jorgensen/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Having worked for a small RIA that managed accounts that in some instances were smaller than $10,000, run a multibillion-dollar trading desk and managed portfolios for a treasury that invested tens of billions of dollars, I have seen every which way to trade various asset classes and come across all different types of traders and investors. I do not think that one is necessarily better than the other when comparing retail and institutional, but institutions have many more ways to generate cash flows than retail investors due simply to the fact that they can almost always justify \"the juice being worth the squeeze\" if they are so inclined. At the same time, retail investors are able to just move in and out of positions easily due to size and the fact that they generally do not HAVE to hold any particular position. Being somewhat of an interloper in the industry, it does provide me with an interesting perspective, especially when you get these heated debates about certain stocks. Generally speaking, you have the retail crowd which is on one extreme or the other (cannot buy enough shares, or cannot sell fast enough) and the institutional crowd forced to hold a name due to benchmarking, indexing, or investment policy requirements. Sometimes, these roles are reversed, where the two groups are pitted against each other (one buying one selling) but historically we have been witness to the retail crowd being split with institutions in the middle. (Note: In my opinion, the meme phenomenon was a rarity in that you had the two sides pitted against each other in a very public manner.) See, retail investors are generally limited to either being long a stock or just not owning it, as they do not want to take on the risk of being short and do not have large enough positions to participate in programs like securities lending, overlay investing, etc. It is a very beautifully simplistic world to operate in, as you only have to own exactly what you like a lot, and just avoid the rest. Institutional investors on the other hand are different animals. When I was over the trading desk, I would make every trade count. I would bundle trades to provide liquidity to other trading desks and take a discount, have our portfolios participating in securities lending, optimize purchases of things we had to own to get access to things we wanted to own. In short, it pays to have an imagination and think outside the box when on the institutional level because it allows you to create alpha on positions that generally hold back everyone's performance (think short-term Treasuries in a fixed-income portfolio when markets are not in duress). Which brings us to the current hot button stock of the day, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB). The Situation Retail Investors Everyone by now knows the situation surrounding Meta; there are plenty of great arguments for why this stock is going lower with many of them centered around the updated privacy policy of Apple (AAPL) and what Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) plans to do with its Android OS. Add on issues such as the tens of billions being spent on the development of Meta's metaverse project, user growth stalling at Facebook and word that small and mid-size advertisers are for the first time looking at other avenues for their ad dollars, and yes you have a compelling argument for not being long this stock. The catch is, although you do have a vocal retail crowd who is bearish, the short interest is not elevated compared to many other names (although it is roughly double names like Apple and Alphabet - that is a very low base to compare to as Meta only has 1.32% of its float shorted and those names are 0.50-0.60% of their float shorted). On the other end of the spectrum you have retail traders arguing that the stock needs to be purchased \"hand over fist\" due to the low P/E, continued revenue growth, and earnings forecast to hit an all-time high (on a per share basis) in 2023. Again, compelling arguments but not enough to have moved the stock higher since its sell-off. Institutional Investors While there have been some institutional investors who have exited their Meta holdings, many of those were momentum traders and the hedge-fund type. From talking to friends in the industry and reading trading notes, we are surprised at how many who actually seem the most bearish are actually holding their current positions (even if they have decided not to add any additional exposure) or maintaining allocations in their model portfolios. We will admit it is a very strange phenomenon which is most likely due to how large the company is and its sheer size in some of the indices used for benchmarking, but also offers a stark contrast in outlooks of institutional investors who have the same negative opinions on a stock as retail investors but an entirely different posture when it comes to positioning their portfolio. While this may be surprising to some readers, it is important to remember that everyone in this industry is fighting for the same clients and need to post returns that are somewhat similar. This is the problem with benchmarking, and a reason why in some cases institutional investors absolutely behave with herd-like tendencies by owning the underlying asset, but the differentiating factor is how they seek to outperform. What To Watch I think some of the recent moves by analysts are quite telling, and indicative of the overall view of the institutional crowd. For instance, Oppenheimer lowered their price target on Meta to $305 from a previous price target of $375 but kept the stock rated outperform. Also keeping the stock rated an outperform but lowering its price target (from $245 to $240) was RBC Capital Markets. Those reports cited a lot of the facts for not being bullish, yet the analysts remained bullish in spite of the privacy policy issues, short-term market share losses, and a potential loss of key customers. Data by YCharts While the consensus price target is the lowest it has been in years among analysts, there are still an awful lot of bullish calls out there. It could be because many see a low multiple stock trading near what appears to be a level of support, but we think most of this has been window dressing prior to Meta's earnings, which will be announced after the market closes on April 27, 2022. How We Would Trade This It is important to keep in mind, that what you want and what you need are two entirely separate things, and two factors driving this trade. On this trade I find myself not overly bearish nor overly bullish, just marginally bullish long-term. I view 2022 as a transitional year, or gap year, in order to get to 2023, and as new investor funds have come in to start the year I do find myself in that institutional predicament of HAVING to add exposure to maintain portfolio target allocations. So, in order to de-risk some of this trade and generate some cash flows, I am going to also sell some calls against the Meta exposure being added. I purchased the additional shares at $212.05/share and sold the October 21, 2022 $250 Calls for $10.85. This option should get me through two earnings releases and allow me the opportunity to reposition just before the October release (whether that means writing a put because my position was called away or writing a new call because the stock remains below the $250 strike on October 21st). I like this trade because it accomplishes a few things. First, we get the exposure to the stock that we need even though we are not expecting the stock to go gangbusters in the near term. Second, we are able to generate an options premium from the sale of the call which was worth a net of $1,084.33 per contract. And lastly, we have locked in a price we are happy to sell at for a short-term gain if the stock closes above $250 on October 21st. Closing Summary Since I have to own Meta and do this trade, I like the construction of this trade as it provides some potential alpha. Ignoring what I do with the options premium as far as reinvestment, and focusing just on the potential outcomes from cash flows and calls, we are left with more ways to generate outperformance than underperformance. As long as Meta does not close above $250/share and get called away on October 21st, then we have the options premium generating outperformance if the stock is below where we purchased it or above (and it is worth 5.11% of outperformance if the stock closes unchanged by that day). We also have outperformance locked in even if the stock is called away so long as it does not trade above $260.84/share. If Meta shares close above that level, we will still have overall gains, but we will have underperformance during the holding period due to the call that we sold. So whether you hate the stock, love the stock, or have mixed feelings about its outlook, there are ways to generate outperformance by trading like an institution that has to own a position. This approach generates excess returns if the stock goes down, if it stays unchanged and if it goes up (but not over $260.84/share on the settlement date). Even if the shares are called away, making a trade with a total return of 22.93% (the options premium and capital gain) over roughly six months is a respectable move, and your only real loss is the opportunity cost that you give up to give you more avenues of generating excess returns in various situations.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9089192328,"gmtCreate":1649968047020,"gmtModify":1676534616815,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest ","listText":"Latest ","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9089192328","repostId":"1108995411","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108995411","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":1649949766,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1108995411?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-14 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV Stocks Dropped in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108995411","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, Xpeng, Arrival, Fisker, Nikola, Canoo, Lordstown, Workhorse, Niu Technologies, Faraday Future and Sono Group fell from 1% to 6%.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIVN\">Rivian</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LCID\">Lucid</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">NIO</a>, Xpeng, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARVL\">Arrival</a>, Fisker, Nikola, Canoo, Lordstown, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WKHS\">Workhorse</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIU\">Niu Technologies</a>, Faraday Future and Sono Group fell from 1% to 6%.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a0c7246cdd6278d1680de29b9faf12b4\" tg-width=\"423\" tg-height=\"772\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This is not that dissimilar to the iPhone leasing program, but will make these other devices more affordable as they will not require the large upfront cash outlay,â Suva added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":398,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9017588174,"gmtCreate":1649800297146,"gmtModify":1676534575988,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Happy Easter day","listText":"Happy Easter day","text":"Happy Easter day","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9017588174","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":169,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9016975491,"gmtCreate":1649122290552,"gmtModify":1676534455473,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest ","listText":"Latest ","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9016975491","repostId":"2221070016","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2221070016","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1648027265,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2221070016?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-23 17:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Creative Realities Shares Rise 50% Premarket;

On Tuesday, Blizzard Entertainment Chief Legal Officer Claire Hart became the latest high-profile employee to announce their departure, signaling that she wouldn't be sticking around to weather the regulatory storm.\n\"The past three years have been full of unexpected twists and turns, but I feel honored to have worked with and met so many great people at Blizzard and across the Activision Blizzard businesses,\" Hart wrote on Linkedin.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":36,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869291974,"gmtCreate":1632288294098,"gmtModify":1676530744026,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest ","listText":"Latest ","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869291974","repostId":"2169658001","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169658001","pubTimestamp":1632288157,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2169658001?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-22 13:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Singapore to have first electric ferry service in 2023, run by Shell","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169658001","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"SINGAPORE - Singapore will have its first fleet of electric ferries in 2023, operated by Shell to pl","content":"<div>\n<p>SINGAPORE - Singapore will have its first fleet of electric ferries in 2023, operated by Shell to ply between the mainland and Pulau Bukom.\nThe oil giant has awarded a contract to home-grown boat ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/singapore-to-have-first-electric-ferry-service-in-2023-run-by-shell\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

They will transport workers to and from Shell's Energy and Chemicals Park on Pulau Bukom, replacing the diesel-powered ferries currently used.\nShell would not say how much the project costs, but a Nikkei news article on a recent proposed Thai project using ferries of a similar size cited a price tag of nearly S$2 million per vessel - or about two-thirds costlier than a diesel equivalent.\nThe Shell ferries are powered by a lithium-ion battery system with a capacity of 1.2MWh. They can attain a speed of over 20 knots (37kmh) with zero on-site emission and almost no audible noise.\nWhen berthed at Shell Bukom, the ferries will be charged via a combination of fast charging during peak hours, and slow charging during off-peak hours and overnight.\n\nAn artist's impression of the Shell Bukom electric ferry. PHOTO: INCAT CROWTHER UK\nMr Nick Potter, general manager of Shell Shipping and Maritime, Asia Pacific & Middle East, said: \"Shipping's future will involve different parts of the sector using different fuels, and electrification is a solution to decarbonise short voyages.\n\"Switching to zero-emission, fully electric ferries is part of Shell's ambition to help accelerate progress towards net-zero emissions in the shipping sector.\"\nPenguin International managing director James Tham said the company is partnering Australian marine engineering firm Incat Crowther and Singapore-based energy systems consultancy Razor Blunt Labs to build the vessels.\nThe Shell ferries will ply a route of about 5.5km, carrying around 3,000 passengers a day.\nEarlier this year, the world's largest electric ferry was launched in Norway. According to online electrification newsletter Electrive.com, the 139.2m vessel has room for 600 passengers and 200 cars. In Thailand, an electric ferry service, plying the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, was launched in December last year.\nIn Singapore, ad hoc electric river cruise vessels have been in use since 2007 - 10 years before electric cars started taking off.\nIn April (2021), Shell said it would trial hydrogen fuel cell ships here. These are vessels powered by electricity generated via a chemical process using stored hydrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860749323,"gmtCreate":1632219463162,"gmtModify":1676530727407,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest","listText":"Latest","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860749323","repostId":"1163788895","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163788895","pubTimestamp":1632218630,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1163788895?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-21 18:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Desktop Metal Is Worth a Deeper Look As a Long-Term Play","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163788895","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"DM stock makes sense for investors with real interest in 3D printing.\n\nInvestors should note that De","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>DM stock makes sense for investors with real interest in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DDD\">3D</a> printing.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISBC\">Investors</a> should note that <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DM\">Desktop Metal Inc.</a> </b>stock is beginning to look increasingly attractive as a long-term play.The 3D printing company is rapidly growing in terms of both head count and financial metrics.</p>\n<p>To be honest, thereâs probably little reason to rush out and grab a large quantity of shares currently.

So far his team of computer scientistsâ strategy has paid off.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Imagine you had a money-making machine to harvest gains in the stock market while you sat back to enjoy life.</p>\n<p>Thatâs everyoneâs dream, right? Investor Vance Howard thinks heâs found it.</p>\n<p>Howard and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.</p>\n<p>His HCM Tactical Growth Fund HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000 benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar. That is no small feat, and not only because it has to overcome a 2.22% fee. Beating the market is simply not easy. His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.</p>\n<p>There are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?</p>\n<p>So-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as youâll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on âhorse senseâ â not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.</p>\n<p>Here are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #1: Donât be emotional</b></p>\n<p>Itâs no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, weâve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable â like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.</p>\n<p>Likewise, weâre programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If youâre a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd â and crowd psychology â dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesnât matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.</p>\n<p>To do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. âOne of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,â says Howard. âLet your emotions go.â</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #2: Have a system and stick to it</b></p>\n<p>To exorcise emotion, have a system. âAnd donât second guess it,â says Howard. âThis keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.â He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system â which often works well in the markets.</p>\n<p>The HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.</p>\n<p>When the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.</p>\n<p>âIf the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,â he says. âWe take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.â</p>\n<p>Right now, itâs bullish. (More on this below.)</p>\n<p>Your system also has to tell you when to get back in.</p>\n<p>âThatâs where most people screw up,â he says. âThey get out of the market, and they donât know when to get back in.â The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.</p>\n<p>You donât need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.</p>\n<p>âIf we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,â he says. âBeing all in during a bad tape is no fun.â</p>\n<p>His system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. Heâs often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.</p>\n<p>âThe HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,â says Howard.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #3: Donât fight the tape</b></p>\n<p>This concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweigâs classic book, âWinning on Wall Street.â</p>\n<p>âYou have to stay on the right side of market,â agrees Howard. âIf you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.â</p>\n<p>In other words, donât try to be a hero.</p>\n<p>âSometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,â he says.</p>\n<p>Likewise, donât turn cautious just because the market hits new highs â like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #4: Keep it simple</b></p>\n<p>As youâll see below, Howard doesnât use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesnât even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.</p>\n<p>âYou donât have to trade crazy stuff,â he says. âYou can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.â</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #5: How to trade the current market</b></p>\n<p>First, be long.</p>\n<p>âThe HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,â says Howard. âThe market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon. We are buying pullbacks.â</p>\n<p>One bullish signal is all the cash on the sidelines. âIf there is any relief in Covid, we may see a big rally. We may end up with a great fall [season].â</p>\n<p>Howard uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too. For sectors he favors the following.</p>\n<p>He likes health care, tradable through the iShares US HealthcareIYH,-0.04%and ProShares Ultra Health CareRXL,+0.12%ETFs. Heâs turning more bullish on biotech, which he plays via the iShares Biotechnology ETFIBB,-0.11%.</p>\n<p>He likes consumer discretionary tradable through the iShares US Consumer ServicesIYC,-0.30%,and airlines via US Global JetsJETS,-1.17%.He also likes tech exposure via the Invesco QQQ TrustQQQ,+0.31%,iShares US TechnologyIYW,+0.50%and iShares SemiconductorSOXX,+0.75%.</p>\n<p>He likes small-caps via the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index FundVBK,+0.07%.And convertible bonds via SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible SecuritiesCWB,+0.64%and iShares Convertible BondICVT,+0.37%.</p>\n<p>As for individual names, he singles out MicrosoftMSFT,-0.00%and AppleAAPL,+0.42%in tech, as well as Amazon.comAMZN,+0.43%and TeslaTSLA,+0.16%.</p>\n<p>Also consider Howardâs two ETFs: The HCM Defender 100 IndexQQH,+0.62%and HCM Defender 500 IndexLGH,+1.32%.</p>\n<p>He prefers to add to holdings on 1%-3% dips.</p>\n<p><b>A few drawbacks</b></p>\n<p>His HCM Tactical Growth fund has a history of posting two-year stretches of underperformance of 1.5% to 8.8%, since it was launched in 2015. The fund then came roaring back to net the very positive five-year outperformance cited above. Investing in his system can require patience.</p>\n<p>Every manager, including Warren Buffett, can have a stretch of underperformance, says Howard.</p>\n<p>âWe are in the odds game,â he says. âEven in the odds game, you can have a bad hand or two thrown at you.â</p>\n<p>Another challenge is the high turnover, which is 140% a year for Tactical Growth. This means Uncle Sam takes a big cut in the good years. So if you buy Howardâs funds, you may want to do so in a tax-protected account.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Beat the market with this quant system thatâs very bullish on stocks at record highs</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\">\nBeat the market with this quant system thatâs very bullish on stocks at record highs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-05 10:56 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/beat-the-market-with-this-quant-system-thats-very-bullish-on-stocks-at-record-highs-11630761531?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Vance Howardâs HCM Tactical Growth Fund moves you in and out of the stock market when prudent to do so.

Investor Vance Howard thinks heâs found it.\nHoward and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.\nHis HCM Tactical Growth Fund HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000 benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar. That is no small feat, and not only because it has to overcome a 2.22% fee. Beating the market is simply not easy. His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.\nThere are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?\nSo-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as youâll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on âhorse senseâ â not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.\nHere are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.\nLesson #1: Donât be emotional\nItâs no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, weâve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable â like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.\nLikewise, weâre programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If youâre a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd â and crowd psychology â dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesnât matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.\nTo do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. âOne of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,â says Howard. âLet your emotions go.â\nLesson #2: Have a system and stick to it\nTo exorcise emotion, have a system. âAnd donât second guess it,â says Howard. âThis keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.â He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system â which often works well in the markets.\nThe HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.\nWhen the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.\nâIf the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,â he says. âWe take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.â\nRight now, itâs bullish. (More on this below.)\nYour system also has to tell you when to get back in.\nâThatâs where most people screw up,â he says. âThey get out of the market, and they donât know when to get back in.â The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.\nYou donât need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.\nâIf we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,â he says. âBeing all in during a bad tape is no fun.â\nHis system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. Heâs often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.\nâThe HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,â says Howard.\nLesson #3: Donât fight the tape\nThis concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweigâs classic book, âWinning on Wall Street.â\nâYou have to stay on the right side of market,â agrees Howard. âIf you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.â\nIn other words, donât try to be a hero.\nâSometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,â he says.\nLikewise, donât turn cautious just because the market hits new highs â like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.\nLesson #4: Keep it simple\nAs youâll see below, Howard doesnât use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesnât even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.\nâYou donât have to trade crazy stuff,â he says. âYou can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.â\nLesson #5: How to trade the current market\nFirst, be long.\nâThe HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,â says Howard. âThe market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon. We are buying pullbacks.â\nOne bullish signal is all the cash on the sidelines. âIf there is any relief in Covid, we may see a big rally. We may end up with a great fall [season].â\nHoward uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too. For sectors he favors the following.\nHe likes health care, tradable through the iShares US HealthcareIYH,-0.04%and ProShares Ultra Health CareRXL,+0.12%ETFs. Heâs turning more bullish on biotech, which he plays via the iShares Biotechnology ETFIBB,-0.11%.\nHe likes consumer discretionary tradable through the iShares US Consumer ServicesIYC,-0.30%,and airlines via US Global JetsJETS,-1.17%.He also likes tech exposure via the Invesco QQQ TrustQQQ,+0.31%,iShares US TechnologyIYW,+0.50%and iShares SemiconductorSOXX,+0.75%.\nHe likes small-caps via the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index FundVBK,+0.07%.And convertible bonds via SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible SecuritiesCWB,+0.64%and iShares Convertible BondICVT,+0.37%.\nAs for individual names, he singles out MicrosoftMSFT,-0.00%and AppleAAPL,+0.42%in tech, as well as Amazon.comAMZN,+0.43%and TeslaTSLA,+0.16%.\nAlso consider Howardâs two ETFs: The HCM Defender 100 IndexQQH,+0.62%and HCM Defender 500 IndexLGH,+1.32%.\nHe prefers to add to holdings on 1%-3% dips.\nA few drawbacks\nHis HCM Tactical Growth fund has a history of posting two-year stretches of underperformance of 1.5% to 8.8%, since it was launched in 2015. The fund then came roaring back to net the very positive five-year outperformance cited above. Investing in his system can require patience.\nEvery manager, including Warren Buffett, can have a stretch of underperformance, says Howard.\nâWe are in the odds game,â he says. âEven in the odds game, you can have a bad hand or two thrown at you.â\nAnother challenge is the high turnover, which is 140% a year for Tactical Growth. This means Uncle Sam takes a big cut in the good years. So if you buy Howardâs funds, you may want to do so in a tax-protected account.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":98,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":833874314,"gmtCreate":1629226706038,"gmtModify":1676529971798,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest ","listText":"Latest ","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/833874314","repostId":"1115558959","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115558959","pubTimestamp":1629192455,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115558959?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-17 17:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Is What Hedge Funds Bought And Sold In Q2: Complete 13F Summary","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115558959","media":"zerohedge","summary":"For once, the \"smart money\" was not caught off guard by the resurgent covid pandemic, and as a barra","content":"<p>For once, the \"smart money\" was not caught off guard by the resurgent covid pandemic, and as a barrage of 13F filings published today showed, during the second quarter hedge funds loaded up on companies that would benefit from a new wave of the pandemic even before the delta variant began to rapidly spread throughout the U.S.</p>\n<p>As Bloomberg summarizes, Chase Colemanâs Tiger Global Management and Philippe Laffontâs Coatue Management both increased their stakes in food delivery service DoorDash in the second quarter. Coatue also added to its bet on vaccine maker Moderna, while Stephen Mandelâs Lone Pine Capital took a new stake in the biotech company worth more than $900 million. These purchases were a reversal from the first quarter, when many hedge funds cut positions in<i>Work From Home</i>companies like Peloton and Zoom as vaccinations began to ramp up in the U.S. That, in turn, fueled wagers on companies that had been hardest-hit by travel restrictions and remote work.</p>\n<p>Tiger and Coatue also increased their stakes in Zoom in the three months through June, their 13F filings revealed. The two funds, along with D1 Capital Partners, were among those that added to positions in Peloton, while Viking Global Investors made a new bet on the exercise equipment company.</p>\n<p>13F filings also showed that funds including Soros Fund Management and Temasek snapped up shares of fintech companies. Marqeta was a top new buy for Soros, while Temasek disclosed new positions in SoFi Technologies, Flywire and Payoneer Global. Marqeta and SoFi tumbled last week after reporting disappointing second-quarter results. Temasek also snapped up shares in two new BlackRock carbon transition ETFs (LCTU and LCTD), while Soros took a new position in electric-vehicle producer Proterra, as clean energy continues to be a prominent trend among investors.</p>\n<p>Coatue, Viking and Gabe Plotkinâs Melvin Capital Management also added new positions in Beijing-based JD.com Inc. in the quarter, a move that would prove to be rather unfortunate as shares of the giant online vendor have slumped 16% since June 30. Chinese shares have tumbled since June as Beijing banned for-profit tutoring companies and ordered more than two dozen tech firms to carry out internal inspections and address issues such as data security.</p>\n<p>Some, such as Soros were either lucky or good in cutting their exposure to Chinese ADRs in the second quarter, ahead of the furious selloff. Soros Fund Management exited many of its investments in Chinese ADRs including Baidu, Vipshop Holdings, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and IQiyi, positions it snapped up during the collapse of Archegos Capital Management in March and April, as noted previously.</p>\n<p>Other funds also dumped China-based companies with listings in the U.S. D1 Capital sold its 25-million-share stake in New Oriental Education & Technology Group, while Soroban Capital Partners exited its 2.06-million-share stake in Alibaba. Sorobanâs largest new positions favored tech, with the top three additions being Facebook, Twitter and Netflix.</p>\n<p>Some other notable 13F findings:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Michael Burry, of âThe Big Shortâ fame, owned puts on Cathie Woodâs ARK Innovation ETF and increased its Tesla puts (more here).</li>\n <li>Warren Buffettâs Berkshire Hathaway added to just three positions in the quarter and trimmed its holdings in several companies, including a full exit of controversial Alzheimerâs drug developer Biogen. As firstnoted earlier, Berkshireâs only new position in the quarter, 1.55 million shares of Organon was the result of a spinoff of the womenâs health pharmaceutical company from Berkshire holding Merck. Its most significant addition was a 21% increase in its position in grocer Kroger. Besides Biogen, exits included Liberty Globalâs Class A shares and Axalta Coating Systems, while Berkshire trimmed positions in Marsh & McLennan, Abbvie, General Motors and Bristol-Myers Squibb.</li>\n <li>Seth Klarmanâs long-standing investment in Rupert Murdochâs media empire finally came to an end during the second quarter. Baupost Group sold its entire Fox Corp. stake, including 7.6 million Class A shares and 5.7 million Class B shares with a combined market value of $446 million at the end of March.</li>\n <li>Carl Icahn, who runs a concentrated portfolio with just 17 reportable investments, sold all of his 9.59 million shares of Tenneco in the quarter. He also has a new undisclosed position in an unnamed stock -- an unusual step that requires a separate filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</li>\n <li>Dan Loeb's Third Point added SentinelOne Class A to its investments and exited IAA in the second quarter. The fund also added to its holdings in Intel, boosting its stake to 14 million shares from 1 million, while decreasing its stake in Charter Communications Class A. Upstart Holdings was Third Point's biggest holding, representing 9.8% of disclosed assets</li>\n <li>Elliott Investment Managementâs largest purchases of the quarter included a 3-million-share buy of Twitter. The increase in shares comes despite Elliott partner Jesse Cohnâs departure from Twitterâs board on June 9. He originally joined the board as part of a partnership Twitter entered with Elliott and Sliver Lake on March 9, 2020.</li>\n <li>Singapore state-owned investment fund Temasek Holdingsâs largest new purchase in the quarter was a 4.84-million-share position in Airbnb. Airbnb reported strong second-quarter earnings last week that were offset by tepid guidance, according to analysts. Temasek also disclosed new positions in SoFi Technologies, Flywire and Payoneer Global.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><i>Here are some other moves made by prominent funds tracked by

once, the \"smart money\" was not caught off guard by the resurgent covid pandemic, and as a barrage of 13F filings published today showed, during the second quarter hedge funds loaded up on companies that would benefit from a new wave of the pandemic even before the delta variant began to rapidly spread throughout the U.S.\nAs Bloomberg summarizes, Chase Colemanâs Tiger Global Management and Philippe Laffontâs Coatue Management both increased their stakes in food delivery service DoorDash in the second quarter. Coatue also added to its bet on vaccine maker Moderna, while Stephen Mandelâs Lone Pine Capital took a new stake in the biotech company worth more than $900 million. These purchases were a reversal from the first quarter, when many hedge funds cut positions inWork From Homecompanies like Peloton and Zoom as vaccinations began to ramp up in the U.S. That, in turn, fueled wagers on companies that had been hardest-hit by travel restrictions and remote work.\nTiger and Coatue also increased their stakes in Zoom in the three months through June, their 13F filings revealed. The two funds, along with D1 Capital Partners, were among those that added to positions in Peloton, while Viking Global Investors made a new bet on the exercise equipment company.\n13F filings also showed that funds including Soros Fund Management and Temasek snapped up shares of fintech companies. Marqeta was a top new buy for Soros, while Temasek disclosed new positions in SoFi Technologies, Flywire and Payoneer Global. Marqeta and SoFi tumbled last week after reporting disappointing second-quarter results. Temasek also snapped up shares in two new BlackRock carbon transition ETFs (LCTU and LCTD), while Soros took a new position in electric-vehicle producer Proterra, as clean energy continues to be a prominent trend among investors.\nCoatue, Viking and Gabe Plotkinâs Melvin Capital Management also added new positions in Beijing-based JD.com Inc. in the quarter, a move that would prove to be rather unfortunate as shares of the giant online vendor have slumped 16% since June 30. Chinese shares have tumbled since June as Beijing banned for-profit tutoring companies and ordered more than two dozen tech firms to carry out internal inspections and address issues such as data security.\nSome, such as Soros were either lucky or good in cutting their exposure to Chinese ADRs in the second quarter, ahead of the furious selloff. Soros Fund Management exited many of its investments in Chinese ADRs including Baidu, Vipshop Holdings, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and IQiyi, positions it snapped up during the collapse of Archegos Capital Management in March and April, as noted previously.\nOther funds also dumped China-based companies with listings in the U.S. D1 Capital sold its 25-million-share stake in New Oriental Education & Technology Group, while Soroban Capital Partners exited its 2.06-million-share stake in Alibaba. Sorobanâs largest new positions favored tech, with the top three additions being Facebook, Twitter and Netflix.\nSome other notable 13F findings:\n\nMichael Burry, of âThe Big Shortâ fame, owned puts on Cathie Woodâs ARK Innovation ETF and increased its Tesla puts (more here).\nWarren Buffettâs Berkshire Hathaway added to just three positions in the quarter and trimmed its holdings in several companies, including a full exit of controversial Alzheimerâs drug developer Biogen. As firstnoted earlier, Berkshireâs only new position in the quarter, 1.55 million shares of Organon was the result of a spinoff of the womenâs health pharmaceutical company from Berkshire holding Merck. Its most significant addition was a 21% increase in its position in grocer Kroger. Besides Biogen, exits included Liberty Globalâs Class A shares and Axalta Coating Systems, while Berkshire trimmed positions in Marsh & McLennan, Abbvie, General Motors and Bristol-Myers Squibb.\nSeth Klarmanâs long-standing investment in Rupert Murdochâs media empire finally came to an end during the second quarter. Baupost Group sold its entire Fox Corp. stake, including 7.6 million Class A shares and 5.7 million Class B shares with a combined market value of $446 million at the end of March.\nCarl Icahn, who runs a concentrated portfolio with just 17 reportable investments, sold all of his 9.59 million shares of Tenneco in the quarter. He also has a new undisclosed position in an unnamed stock -- an unusual step that requires a separate filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nDan Loeb's Third Point added SentinelOne Class A to its investments and exited IAA in the second quarter. The fund also added to its holdings in Intel, boosting its stake to 14 million shares from 1 million, while decreasing its stake in Charter Communications Class A. Upstart Holdings was Third Point's biggest holding, representing 9.8% of disclosed assets\nElliott Investment Managementâs largest purchases of the quarter included a 3-million-share buy of Twitter. The increase in shares comes despite Elliott partner Jesse Cohnâs departure from Twitterâs board on June 9. He originally joined the board as part of a partnership Twitter entered with Elliott and Sliver Lake on March 9, 2020.\nSingapore state-owned investment fund Temasek Holdingsâs largest new purchase in the quarter was a 4.84-million-share position in Airbnb. Airbnb reported strong second-quarter earnings last week that were offset by tepid guidance, according to analysts. Temasek also disclosed new positions in SoFi Technologies, Flywire and Payoneer Global.\n\nHere are some other moves made by prominent funds tracked by Bloomberg:\nAPPALOOSA\n\nTop new buys: UBER,

class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/028b3e3b1d2c99f3ee26f213c2fc069f\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>zirconicusso/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>It's likely that you've already heard the news that Palantir (PLTR) just reported astrong Q2 2021. I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and increased cash flow outlook.</p>\n<p>Here, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.</p>\n<p>First, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.</p>\n<p>Second, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37ecc00151018d803161b75c01bb4571\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>Of course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with <i>30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million</i>, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.</p>\n<p>Third, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.</p>\n<p>I didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -<i>I do not expect growth to slow down</i>. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:</p>\n<blockquote>\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss andbagging to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n</blockquote>\n<p>I'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.<i>They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.</i></p>\n<p>Fourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fba540de7f84e50e602dc943d5e985f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>If it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence that<i>customers are happy and they are sticking</i>. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.</p>\n<p>Fifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers. Here's a taste:</p>\n<blockquote>\n We are seeing opportunities for companies to build their digital infrastructure around foundry from day zero, where they can shave years off their ramps and mountains of risk off their roadmaps by cost efficiently standing on the shoulders of 15 years and more than $2 billion of R&D. And we see this as the first salvo in expanding distribution of foundry to broader markets and a broader set of customers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In Q2, PLTR leadership continued to push this theme, highlighting Roivant, Celularity and Wejo, for example. The idea is to get these companies using Foundry while they are just getting started, or otherwise very small. They're treating Foundry as the \"operating system\" of these businesses.</p>\n<p>Supporting this thrust,<i>PLTR added another 60 sales hires</i>. If I recall correctly, they hired about 50 sales people in Q1, so they are steadily adding headcount in sales and marketing, without going gangbusters. That said, their pipeline is accelerating, with active commercial pilots up 26% since the end of April.</p>\n<p>Sixth, I heard leadership quickly say that they have paid off what they owed, and that<i>PLTR is now debt free</i>. In a future article, I'll have to do a deeper dive, but I wanted to report it here since I have an affinity for extremely strong balance sheets. It's possible I didn't understand the comment on the call, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. I reviewed the Q2 2021 business presentation but didn't see any notes on this so I'll have to revisit this at a later point. But again, I think I've got it right, and it's great news.</p>\n<p>Lastly, there was a question about Alex Karp's executive compensation, and specifically about the relentless insider selling. Before I get to that, here's some quick background reported by CNBC back in April 2021:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Palantir CEO Alex Karp earned compensation worth about $1.1 billion in 2020, primarily through equity awards granted shortly before his software company went public.In a proxy filing on Thursday, Palantir said the bulk of Karpâs pay was tied to options worth $797.9 million, with another $296.4 million for stock awards. The outsized package is the result of an equity incentive plan agreed upon last year, giving Karp 141 million options that begin vesting in August 2021. Each quarter, 2.5 percent of the equity will vest.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, here's just a quick peek about what that selling looks like:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9b2c725b59681121eec807c4650b5ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Nasdaq</span></p>\n<p>Obviously, the action here is pretty intense and it's why it was brought up for consideration. Now, for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to paraphrase the scripted response that was read out loud. In short, Alex Karp has a huge number of options. These options are \"old\" and apparently must be exercised now; I believe before the end of 2021. Furthermore, the selling is automatic, which seems to line up pretty well with the data I've captured above. In other words,<i>Karp's selling isn't because he's lost faith in the company</i>.</p>\n<p>Karp's salary is just over $1 million, which isn't too bad, but it's also not crazy. Clearly, PLTR stock and options are fueling his incredible compensation package. This is a bit frustrating to track, however, when the options vest, get exercised and then sold there are also tremendous taxes to pay. So, in part, Karp is necessarily working through the process of exercising long-term options, while handling tax obligations on a rational schedule.</p>\n<p>Again, all of this is to say two things. Karp's made a ton of money but at the same time, he hasn't given up on PLTR. His selling doesn't say anything substantial about PLTR's future, in my opinion. It's his own mind-boggling personal finance process, that's on display in public as the CEO of PLTR.</p>\n<p>Summarizing everything, PLTR had a strong quarter in Q3 2021 looks like it should be strong as well:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e76043e7ef8c08556e6972aa0b37d66\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"286\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>And, very quickly,per my previous article:</p>\n<blockquote>\n I'll be looking for a deceleration in stock-based compensation expenses. I'll be looking for strong growth in both government and commercial. I'll be looking at Q2 growth, given the high bar set with 49% growth in Q1 2021.

I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and increased cash flow outlook.\nHere, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.\nFirst, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.\nSecond, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:\nSource:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nOf course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with 30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.\nThird, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.\nI didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -I do not expect growth to slow down. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.\nInterestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:\n\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss andbagging to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n\nI'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.\nFourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.\nSource: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nIf it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence thatcustomers are happy and they are sticking. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.\nFifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers. Here's a taste:\n\n We are seeing opportunities for companies to build their digital infrastructure around foundry from day zero, where they can shave years off their ramps and mountains of risk off their roadmaps by cost efficiently standing on the shoulders of 15 years and more than $2 billion of R&D. And we see this as the first salvo in expanding distribution of foundry to broader markets and a broader set of customers.\n\nIn Q2, PLTR leadership continued to push this theme, highlighting Roivant, Celularity and Wejo, for example. The idea is to get these companies using Foundry while they are just getting started, or otherwise very small. They're treating Foundry as the \"operating system\" of these businesses.\nSupporting this thrust,PLTR added another 60 sales hires. If I recall correctly, they hired about 50 sales people in Q1, so they are steadily adding headcount in sales and marketing, without going gangbusters. That said, their pipeline is accelerating, with active commercial pilots up 26% since the end of April.\nSixth, I heard leadership quickly say that they have paid off what they owed, and thatPLTR is now debt free. In a future article, I'll have to do a deeper dive, but I wanted to report it here since I have an affinity for extremely strong balance sheets. It's possible I didn't understand the comment on the call, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. I reviewed the Q2 2021 business presentation but didn't see any notes on this so I'll have to revisit this at a later point. But again, I think I've got it right, and it's great news.\nLastly, there was a question about Alex Karp's executive compensation, and specifically about the relentless insider selling. Before I get to that, here's some quick background reported by CNBC back in April 2021:\n\n Palantir CEO Alex Karp earned compensation worth about $1.1 billion in 2020, primarily through equity awards granted shortly before his software company went public.In a proxy filing on Thursday, Palantir said the bulk of Karpâs pay was tied to options worth $797.9 million, with another $296.4 million for stock awards. The outsized package is the result of an equity incentive plan agreed upon last year, giving Karp 141 million options that begin vesting in August 2021. Each quarter, 2.5 percent of the equity will vest.\n\nNow, here's just a quick peek about what that selling looks like:\nSource:Nasdaq\nObviously, the action here is pretty intense and it's why it was brought up for consideration. Now, for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to paraphrase the scripted response that was read out loud. In short, Alex Karp has a huge number of options. These options are \"old\" and apparently must be exercised now; I believe before the end of 2021. Furthermore, the selling is automatic, which seems to line up pretty well with the data I've captured above. In other words,Karp's selling isn't because he's lost faith in the company.\nKarp's salary is just over $1 million, which isn't too bad, but it's also not crazy. Clearly, PLTR stock and options are fueling his incredible compensation package. This is a bit frustrating to track, however, when the options vest, get exercised and then sold there are also tremendous taxes to pay. So, in part, Karp is necessarily working through the process of exercising long-term options, while handling tax obligations on a rational schedule.\nAgain, all of this is to say two things. Karp's made a ton of money but at the same time, he hasn't given up on PLTR. His selling doesn't say anything substantial about PLTR's future, in my opinion. It's his own mind-boggling personal finance process, that's on display in public as the CEO of PLTR.\nSummarizing everything, PLTR had a strong quarter in Q3 2021 looks like it should be strong as well:\nSource: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nAnd, very quickly,per my previous article:\n\n I'll be looking for a deceleration in stock-based compensation expenses. I'll be looking for strong growth in both government and commercial. I'll be looking at Q2 growth, given the high bar set with 49% growth in Q1 2021. I'll be looking at total remaining deal value, which was about $2.8 billion at the end of Q1 (and up 40% YoY). I am expecting contribution margin to remain high, and hopefully over 60% in Q2.\n\n\nStock based compensation increased. I'll have to review this more closely in a future article. It's still a major thorn in my side. Virtually every chart has this phrase in the footnotes:\"...excludes stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes.\"It's my #1 issue with PLTR.\nQ2 growth was excellent, as I've pointed out. Both government and commercial did well. And, long-term customers keep sticking and spending, more and more. I like what I'm seeing in terms of growth.\nDeal value increased 63% to $3.4 billion. So, they did very well in that department. That gives us a glimpse into future sales and related growth.\nLastly, contribution margin didn't hit my big goal of 60%, but it still improved strongly to 58% in Q2 2021 from 55% in Q2 2020.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":10,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174859740,"gmtCreate":1627091980580,"gmtModify":1703484067981,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"LikeLike","listText":"LikeLike","text":"LikeLike","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/174859740","repostId":"2153829859","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153829859","pubTimestamp":1627087577,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153829859?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 08:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons Netflix Could Succeed in Video Games","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153829859","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Netflix is making a bold bet. Here's why it could pay off.","content":"<p>For more than 20 years, <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.</p>\n<p>The company has always been disciplined with its approach. It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.</p>\n<p>Now, Netflix is ready to break that mold.

It also said that it would not try to monetize games directly, using them instead to drive overall subscription growth and retention. Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.</p>\n<p>While it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.</p>\n<h2>1. Netflix has a huge platform</h2>\n<p>Netflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from <b>Alphabet</b>'s YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.</p>\n<p>Additionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.</p>\n<p>With a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"</p>\n<h2>2. There's crossover potential with its intellectual property</h2>\n<p>There's no shortage of intellectual property (IP) in Hollywood that has become video games or, in turn, video games that have become movies. Among games that have become hit movies are <i>Mortal Kombat</i>, <i>Tomb Raider</i>, and <i>Sonic the Hedgehog</i>, while there are plenty of success stories in the other direction like <i>Goldeneye 007</i>, <i>Mad Max</i>, and <i>Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis</i>.</p>\n<p>Netflix has historically lacked the kind of monetization machine that <b>Walt Disney</b> has. When Disney makes a hit movie, it lives multiple lives as theme-park rides, toys, and live events like musical theater or Ice Capades -- and as games, which it generally licenses to developers.</p>\n<p>It's easy to imagine some of Netflix's hit shows like <i>Narcos</i>, <i>Ozark</i>, or <i>Stranger Things</i> translating into games. A show like <i>Queen's Gambit</i>, for example, could have easily lent itself to a themed chess game based on the show.</p>\n<p>There's also the potential for Netflix's gaming IP to move in the other direction. If the company launches a hit mobile game, the infrastructure to make those characters into a show or a movie is readily available. Peters acknowledged that this was part of the strategy on the call: \"Part of that will be games that extend our IP. We think that's a really rich, rich space, so that's very much part of our long-term thesis.\"</p>\n<p>Netflix is also planning to do stand-alone games. Overall, the complementarity between games and video entertainment is powerful, especially for a platform with so many paying subscribers.</p>\n<h2>3. Netflix has a great track record</h2>\n<p>Netflix doesn't move into new businesses thoughtlessly. Over its history, the company has been incredibly disciplined, making two large leaps -- from DVDs to streaming, and then from licensing content to producing original shows and movies. Though its brief attempt to separate the DVD business under the brand Qwikster was a failure, Netflix is not a company that blindly enters new experiments, and it understands its core competencies well.</p>\n<p>Co-CEO Ted Sarandos mostly dismissed the idea of getting into sports again, saying on the call: \"Our fundamental product is on-demand and advertising-free, and sports tends to be live and packed with advertising. So there's not a lot of natural synergies in that way, except for it happens in television.\"</p>\n<p>Co-CEO Reed Hastings also said that video gaming was something the company had discussed for years, and decided on going forward with because it shares a lot of qualities with video entertainment: \"You're going to have these long franchises and very positive for us, kind of industry-structure-wise, if we can master the skill set.\"</p>\n<p>While video games aren't a slam dunk for Netflix and will likely take years to come to fruition, the new direction also shows that the streaming champ is looking for new opportunities as its growth rate in streaming slows.</p>\n<p>With more than 200 million subscribers and one of the best-known brands in entertainment, it would be a mistake to count out Netflix in video games.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Reasons Netflix Could Succeed in Video Games</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 Reasons Netflix Could Succeed in Video Games\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-24 08:46 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/23/3-reasons-netflix-could-succeed-in-video-games/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For more than 20 years, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.\nThe company has always been disciplined ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/23/3-reasons-netflix-could-succeed-in-video-games/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NFLX":"ć„éŁ"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/23/3-reasons-netflix-could-succeed-in-video-games/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2153829859","content_text":"For more than 20 years, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.\nThe company has always been disciplined with its approach.

Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.\nWhile it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.\n1. Netflix has a huge platform\nNetflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from Alphabet's YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.\nAdditionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only one in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.\nWith a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"\n2. There's crossover potential with its intellectual property\nThere's no shortage of intellectual property (IP) in Hollywood that has become video games or, in turn, video games that have become movies. Among games that have become hit movies are Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, and Sonic the Hedgehog, while there are plenty of success stories in the other direction like Goldeneye 007, Mad Max, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.\nNetflix has historically lacked the kind of monetization machine that Walt Disney has. When Disney makes a hit movie, it lives multiple lives as theme-park rides, toys, and live events like musical theater or Ice Capades -- and as games, which it generally licenses to developers.\nIt's easy to imagine some of Netflix's hit shows like Narcos, Ozark, or Stranger Things translating into games. A show like Queen's Gambit, for example, could have easily lent itself to a themed chess game based on the show.\nThere's also the potential for Netflix's gaming IP to move in the other direction. If the company launches a hit mobile game, the infrastructure to make those characters into a show or a movie is readily available. Peters acknowledged that this was part of the strategy on the call: \"Part of that will be games that extend our IP. We think that's a really rich, rich space, so that's very much part of our long-term thesis.\"\nNetflix is also planning to do stand-alone games. Overall, the complementarity between games and video entertainment is powerful, especially for a platform with so many paying subscribers.\n3. Netflix has a great track record\nNetflix doesn't move into new businesses thoughtlessly. Over its history, the company has been incredibly disciplined, making two large leaps -- from DVDs to streaming, and then from licensing content to producing original shows and movies. Though its brief attempt to separate the DVD business under the brand Qwikster was a failure, Netflix is not a company that blindly enters new experiments, and it understands its core competencies well.\nCo-CEO Ted Sarandos mostly dismissed the idea of getting into sports again, saying on the call: \"Our fundamental product is on-demand and advertising-free, and sports tends to be live and packed with advertising. So there's not a lot of natural synergies in that way, except for it happens in television.\"\nCo-CEO Reed Hastings also said that video gaming was something the company had discussed for years, and decided on going forward with because it shares a lot of qualities with video entertainment: \"You're going to have these long franchises and very positive for us, kind of industry-structure-wise, if we can master the skill set.\"\nWhile video games aren't a slam dunk for Netflix and will likely take years to come to fruition, the new direction also shows that the streaming champ is looking for new opportunities as its growth rate in streaming slows.\nWith more than 200 million subscribers and one of the best-known brands in entertainment, it would be a mistake to count out Netflix in video games.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174850831,"gmtCreate":1627091931323,"gmtModify":1703484065038,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"LikeLike","listText":"LikeLike","text":"LikeLike","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/174850831","repostId":"1112927800","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112927800","pubTimestamp":1627089375,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112927800?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will NIO Stock Follow Tesla's Footsteps?

(NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.</p>\n<p><b>NIO And TSLA Stock Prices</b></p>\n<p>Both companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ff5ce865807df85283775d2293b41af\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Taking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO Similar To Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:</p>\n<p><b>Business Model</b></p>\n<p>Both companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.</p>\n<p>Both companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed. NIO is following a different approach, offering a battery-as-a-service solution to its customers. NIO owners can get their battery switched out to a fully-charged battery at NIO's stations, a process that takes a couple of minutes and is thus significantly quicker compared to the regular EV charging offered by Tesla and other EV players. BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.</p>\n<p><b>Size, growth, and valuation</b></p>\n<p>The two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.</p>\n<p>Tesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a986ea65130206f99961a46ce6cfed55\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.</p>\n<p>The same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).</p>\n<p>Looking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.</p>\n<p><b>Can NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly overpriced today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).</p>\n<p>When we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.</p>\n<p>It should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?</b></p>\n<p>When considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model. Regarding those risks, one should mention the fact that the company isn't profitable yet, which means that NIO is dependent on cash on its balance sheet for growth investments. On top of that, competition in the EV space is growing, and market share battles could pressure margins in coming years, although NIO seems relatively well-positioned thanks to its battery-swapping, which is, I believe, a strong USP. Last but not least, the company's dependence on its home market China is a potential risk that should be kept in mind, although it should also be noted that, for now, it seems like the Chinese government is very accommodating to Chinese EV companies.</p>\n<p>One could argue that valuations across the whole EV industry are too high, relative to how legacy auto companies are valued. Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course. If NIO manages to execute well and continues to roll out new models that are well-received by consumers, its shares could have significant upside potential in the long run. If EV stocks ever become an out-of-favor investment, NIO stock also could have considerable downside, however, this thus is not a low-risk pick. Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.</p>","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>Will NIO Stock Follow Tesla's Footsteps?

Investors should also consider NIO's valuation versus legacy car companies.\n\nipopba/iStock via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nNIO, Inc. (NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.\nNIO And TSLA Stock Prices\nBoth companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.\nData by YCharts\nTaking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.\nIs NIO Similar To Tesla?\nThe answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:\nBusiness Model\nBoth companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.\nBoth companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed. NIO is following a different approach, offering a battery-as-a-service solution to its customers. NIO owners can get their battery switched out to a fully-charged battery at NIO's stations, a process that takes a couple of minutes and is thus significantly quicker compared to the regular EV charging offered by Tesla and other EV players. BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.\nSize, growth, and valuation\nThe two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.\nTesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:\nData by YCharts\nTesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.\nThe same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).\nLooking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.\nCan NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?\nThe answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly overpriced today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).\nWhen we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.\nIt should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.\nIs NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?\nWhen considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model. Regarding those risks, one should mention the fact that the company isn't profitable yet, which means that NIO is dependent on cash on its balance sheet for growth investments. On top of that, competition in the EV space is growing, and market share battles could pressure margins in coming years, although NIO seems relatively well-positioned thanks to its battery-swapping, which is, I believe, a strong USP. Last but not least, the company's dependence on its home market China is a potential risk that should be kept in mind, although it should also be noted that, for now, it seems like the Chinese government is very accommodating to Chinese EV companies.\nOne could argue that valuations across the whole EV industry are too high, relative to how legacy auto companies are valued. Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course. If NIO manages to execute well and continues to roll out new models that are well-received by consumers, its shares could have significant upside potential in the long run. If EV stocks ever become an out-of-favor investment, NIO stock also could have considerable downside, however, this thus is not a low-risk pick. Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":175023859,"gmtCreate":1626999275071,"gmtModify":1703482061709,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest","listText":"Latest","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175023859","repostId":"2153978603","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153978603","pubTimestamp":1626998940,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153978603?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-23 08:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Faraday Future Listed on Nasdaq With the Ticker \"FFIE\" and Announces New Reservation Policy for Flagship Product FF 91 Futurist","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153978603","media":"Business Wire","summary":"Announces 300 invite-only, limited-edition FF 91 Futurist Alliance Edition model and new reservation","content":"<ul>\n <li><b>Announces 300 invite-only, limited-edition FF 91 Futurist Alliance Edition model and new reservation plan for FF 91 Futurist model, with a deposit of $5,000 and $1,500, respectively.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced that officials may taper bond buying soon, and Norway raised its interest rate on Thursday.</p>\n<p>The U.K. central bank is trying to tame inflation that accelerated well beyond its forecasts over the summer, reaching 3.2% last month. Its new focus is enabled by stronger-than-expected jobs data that show unemployment will peak well below worst-case scenarios predicted at the onset of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>While the BOE targets inflation of 2%, officials said the rate may temporarily exceed 4% in the final three months of the year.

Deputy Governor Ramsden joined Michael Saunders in pushing to end bond purchases as soon as possible.</p>\n<p>âThere was increasing evidence from a range of global and domestic cost and price indicators that inflationary pressures were likely to persist,â the minutes said. âThese members judged that, with the existing policy stance, inflation was likely to remain above the 2% target in the medium term.â</p>\n<p>The decision was also notable for the participation of the MPCâs two newest members, who both voted with the majority on this occassion. Huw Pill, a formerGoldman Sachs Group Inc.analyst, replaced Andy Haldane as chief economist, and Catherine Mann, a one-time chief economist of the OECD, took up a post vacated by Gertjan Vlieghe.</p>\n<p>While the BOEâs more hawkish rhetoric follows a noticeable spike in inflation, it also comes against the backdrop of an economic recovery that has shown signs of losing steam amid supply bottlenecks and labor shortages.</p>\n<p>Data released on Thursday showed the U.K. had about 5.8% of its workforce on furlough at the start of this month even though that support program is set to expire Sept. 30.

Two of the nine MPC members pushed to end those purchases early, with Dave Ramsden making his first dissenting vote in in four years on the panel.\nâThis appears to open the door to a rate rise by the end of this year, even while the BOE is injecting net stimulus into the economy viaâ quantitative easing, said Liz Martins, a senior economist at HSBC Holdings Plc in London. âThe MPC does not want to rule out swift tightening if inflationary pressures intensify further.â\nThe next MPC meeting is set for Nov. 4.\nThe pound rallied and government bonds fell as investors reacted to a decision that puts the BOE in the more hawkish camp of advanced-world central banks in a pivotal week. On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced that officials may taper bond buying soon, and Norway raised its interest rate on Thursday.\nThe U.K. central bank is trying to tame inflation that accelerated well beyond its forecasts over the summer, reaching 3.2% last month. Its new focus is enabled by stronger-than-expected jobs data that show unemployment will peak well below worst-case scenarios predicted at the onset of the pandemic.\nWhile the BOE targets inflation of 2%, officials said the rate may temporarily exceed 4% in the final three months of the year. Thatâs slightly more than predicted in August.\nSpiking gas costs that have caused turmoil in U.K. energy markets âcould represent a significant upside risk,â and also mean that consumer-price increases double the target until the second quarter of 2022, the MPC added.\nAllan Monks, an economist atJPMorgan Chase & Co., said the tone of the statement was more âhawkish than expected,â with policy makers attaching little weight to recent disappointing growth data.\nSignaling it could raise rates even before bond purchases expire the committee also appears to be âcreating space to potentially hike as soon as November or December, something which we have previously attached a low probability to,â he said.\n\n âWe still expect the labor market and a softer growth outlook to stay the BOEâs hand for longer than financial markets expect. But it now looks like a first hike will come in May, six months earlier than we forecast prior to the decision.â\n\n\n -- Dan Hanson, senior U.K. economist. Clickherefor full REACT.\n\nTraders now are pricing a 15-basis-point rate increase in February, compared with May previously. The pound rallied as much as 0.7%, while 10-year gilt yields rose by the most in a week.\nThe BOE kept its own benchmark unchanged at a record-low 0.1%, while its stock of asset purchases is set to total 895 billion pounds ($1.2 trillion) by the end of this year in line with expectations. Deputy Governor Ramsden joined Michael Saunders in pushing to end bond purchases as soon as possible.\nâThere was increasing evidence from a range of global and domestic cost and price indicators that inflationary pressures were likely to persist,â the minutes said. âThese members judged that, with the existing policy stance, inflation was likely to remain above the 2% target in the medium term.â\nThe decision was also notable for the participation of the MPCâs two newest members, who both voted with the majority on this occassion. Huw Pill, a formerGoldman Sachs Group Inc.analyst, replaced Andy Haldane as chief economist, and Catherine Mann, a one-time chief economist of the OECD, took up a post vacated by Gertjan Vlieghe.\nWhile the BOEâs more hawkish rhetoric follows a noticeable spike in inflation, it also comes against the backdrop of an economic recovery that has shown signs of losing steam amid supply bottlenecks and labor shortages.\nData released on Thursday showed the U.K. had about 5.8% of its workforce on furlough at the start of this month even though that support program is set to expire Sept. 30. September is also shaping up to be the weakest month for private-sector activity since the height of the winter lockdown,IHS Markitsaid on Thursday.\nâBased on the macro numbers, I donât understand how the U.K. can justify being first for a hike,â said Fabrice Montagne, an economist atBarclays Plc.âThe U.S. and Europe are ahead in terms of recovery.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as âparochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching ⊠a difficult man to work for.â</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b> Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbersâ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canadaâs University of Alberta and Michiganâs Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didnât stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbersâ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&T Inc.'s</b> T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with <b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b> which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>âThe only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,â Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the companyâs acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of <b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b> in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbersâ ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and <b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbersâ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to <b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbersâ company launched its acquisition plans for <b>CompuServe</b> from <b>H&R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with <b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit â except that Ebbersâ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbersâ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the companyâs success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was ânot as complicated as people make it out to be,â adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>âIâm not an engineer by training,â he said. âIâm not an accountant by training. Iâm the coach. Iâm not the point guard who shoots the ball.â</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating âThatâs the way we did it at LDDS,â and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that âwhen you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.â</p>\n<p>While Ebbersâ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldnât be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbersâ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbersâ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom â which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country â announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbersâ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcomâs network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The companyâs chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project â and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named <b>Kim Amigh</b>in the companyâs Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh â three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit <b>Cynthia Cooper</b> learned of Amighâs findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldComâs accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 â except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a âprepaid capacity,â a meaningless term which they couldnât define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a âRequest for Informationâ to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbersâ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000 â and then borrowed again and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Roadâs End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldComâs downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>âI know what I donât know,â Ebbers said during his trial. âTo this day, I donât know technology, and I donât know finance or accounting.â</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, âThe coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.â But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the teamâs performance and he blamed his âbest playersâ for not being able to âplay togetherâ while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: âI didn't have anything to apologize for.â</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbersâ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canadaâs University of Alberta and Michiganâs Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didnât stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbersâ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'s T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with Long Distance Discount Services, which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\nâThe only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,â Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.\nWithin 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.\nMany of the companyâs acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of Advanced Telecommunications Corporation in 1992.\nThe unlikely acquisition came with Ebbersâ ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and Sprint Corporation,both considerably larger players in this field.\nThe one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbersâ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbersâ company launched its acquisition plans for CompuServe from H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit â except that Ebbersâ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbersâ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the companyâs success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was ânot as complicated as people make it out to be,â adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\nâIâm not an engineer by training,â he said. âIâm not an accountant by training. Iâm the coach. Iâm not the point guard who shoots the ball.â\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.\nAnd for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating âThatâs the way we did it at LDDS,â and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that âwhen you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.â\nWhile Ebbersâ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldnât be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.\nIn retrospect, Ebbersâ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbersâ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.\nDetour Off The Cliff:The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom â which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country â announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.\nWith the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbersâ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.\nWorldcomâs network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.\nThe companyâs chief technical officer,Fred Briggs,then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project â and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.\nA WorldCom budget analyst named Kim Amighin the companyâs Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh â three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.\nBut Vice President of Internal Audit Cynthia Cooper learned of Amighâs findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldComâs accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 â except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.\nCooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a âprepaid capacity,â a meaningless term which they couldnât define when pressed by Cooper.\nAnd Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a âRequest for Informationâ to learn the secret of its success.\nAdding to this chaos were Ebbersâ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.\nTo alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000 â and then borrowed again and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.\nIn June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.\nRoadâs End:The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.\nEbbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldComâs downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.\nâI know what I donât know,â Ebbers said during his trial. âTo this day, I donât know technology, and I donât know finance or accounting.â\nEbbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.\nHe remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.\nAfter 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.\nIn defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, âThe coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.â But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the teamâs performance and he blamed his âbest playersâ for not being able to âplay togetherâ while absolving himself from their errors.\nSaid Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: âI didn't have anything to apologize for.â","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":10,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":837172985,"gmtCreate":1629869337647,"gmtModify":1676530157419,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest ","listText":"Latest ","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/837172985","repostId":"2162087564","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2162087564","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":1629836173,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2162087564?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-25 04:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St extends rally, pushing S&P 500 to 50th all-time high close this year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2162087564","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended higher in a late-summer, light volume rally on Tuesda","content":"<p>NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended higher in a late-summer, light volume rally on Tuesday as the FDA's full approval of a COVID-19 vaccine on Monday and the absence of negative catalysts kept risk appetite alive ahead of the much-anticipated Jackson Hole Symposium.</p>\n<p>All three major U.S. stock indexes advanced higher, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closing at all-time closing highs.</p>\n<p>The session marked the S&P 500's 50th record high close so far this year.</p>\n<p>Tech and tech-adjacent megacaps were once again doing the heavy lifting, but economically sensitive cyclicals and smallcaps outperformed the broader market.</p>\n<p>\"Investors are looking at the horizon at the big Jackson Hole meeting on the horizon,\" Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Financial in Charlotte, North Carolina, referring to the Federal Reserveâs annual economic symposium on Friday. \"But for now the feel-good from yesterdayâs vaccine news is still in the air.\"</p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration's full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Monday fueled optimism over economic recovery which spilled into Tuesday's session.</p>\n<p>Travel and leisure sectors, associated with economic re-engagement, outperformed the broader market.

Lately, there has been an abundance of communication from Fed members discussing the need to <i>âtaperâ</i> its monetary interventions.</p>\n<p>As Morgan Stanley recently noted:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>âIf the July FOMC minutes suggest that there was strong consensus and Chair Powellâs indication on tapering at Jackson Hole is therefore much firmer, we could see that as consistent with the FOMC gearing up to move on tapering sooner.â</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Such is something the markets are probably not ready for.</p>\n<p>So far, market participants have ignored weakening economic data, the collapse of Afghanistan, and rising risks of infections across the U.S. <b>As long as the Fed is engaged in providing liquidity, the </b><b><i>ârisk of missing outâ</i></b><b> outweighs being more conservative with allocations.</b></p>\n<p>However, the Fed remains trapped between two very tough policy choices.</p>\n<p><b>The system has elevated inflation levels, as indicated by the spread between the PPI and CPI inflation measures.</b>Currently, with PPI at the highest spread to CPI in history, it suggests producers canât pass on costs to customers. <b>Such equates to weaker profit margins and earnings in the future.</b>However, if they elect to pass those costs onto consumers, such will raise living costs well above wages.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbb6d94a3f3346f37f7cfb8fe9fcbf80\" tg-width=\"966\" tg-height=\"514\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">With unemployment levels dropping, and inflation rising, the Fed should be tapering monetary policy.</p>\n<p>However, the reduction in liquidity will trigger a decline in asset prices, hinder consumer confidence, and contract economic growth further.</p>\n<p>Itâs a tough choice.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>We agree with Morgan Stanleyâs assessment on the likely path of âtaperâ when it comes.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>â</i>\n <i><b>The path of least resistance is to follow the path most traveled, that is, the playbook established in the last cycle when the Fed began to reduce its purchases of longer-term assets following the 2013 taper tantrum.</b></i>\n <i> That playbook included a long lead-time to signal the start, a promise that tapering would be gradual and flexible,</i>\n <i><b> and assurances to the market that tapering would have nothing to do with the timing of first rate hike.</b></i>\n <i> Indeed, the Fed did not first raise rates until six months following the end of tapering.â</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>While such is undoubtedly the path of least resistance, it is unlikely the market will like it much. As discussed in<b> </b><b><i>â3-Signs Of The Next Bear Market:â</i></b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>âTherefore, it should also not be surprising that when the Fed starts âtaperingâ their bond purchases, the market tends to witness increased volatility. The grey shaded bars in the chart below show when the balance sheet is either flat or contracting.â</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3897c4cb768c4b4b960e6bc88b8444fe\" tg-width=\"962\" tg-height=\"563\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Notably, the time from the initial tapering of assets and a market correction is almost immediate.</p>\n<p>If <i>âmonetary policyâ</i> has lost effectiveness in supporting consumer confidence and âanimal spirits,â the significant risk to investors could be a market decline the Fed cannot halt.</p>\n<p>Currently, investors are highly confident the Fed can support markets against any risk.</p>\n<p>But what if they canât?</p>","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>Did The Fed's Monetary Policy Experiment Just Fail?</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\">\nDid The Fed's Monetary Policy Experiment Just Fail?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-20 22:52 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/did-feds-monetary-policy-experiment-just-fail><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Did the Fedâs âmonetary policy experimentâ fail?

As discussed recently:\n\nâHowever, while the Federal Reserve got the desired outcome of increasing asset prices, âquantitative easingâ failed to âtrickle down.â \nDespite the massive expansion of the Fedâs balance sheet and the surge in asset prices, there was relatively little translation into wages, full-time employment, or corporate profits after tax which ultimately triggered very little economic growth.\nâ\n\nâSince 2007, the stock market returned nearly 200%, which is more than twice the growth in GDP and nearly 4-times the growth in corporate revenue.(I use SALES growth as it happens at the top line of income statements and is not subject to as much manipulation.)â\nAgain, it was all going according to plan, sort of.\nUntil now.\nDid The Monetary Policy Experiment Just Fail?\n\nâOver the past half century, the Sentiment Index has only recorded larger losses in six other surveys, all connected to sudden negative changes in the economy,â\n Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michiganâs Surveys of Consumers, said in a release. \nTwo of those larger month-over-month movers were April 2020 amid the pandemic and October 2008, during the financial crisis.â\n â CNBC\n\nThe decline was extremely sharp.\n\nâNot only was the release dramatically worse than the last update, but it was a huge miss relative to expectations. Todayâs release came in 11 points below expectations. The only other month going back to 1999 that even comes close was a 9.9 point miss in February 2004.â â \n Bespoke Investment Group\n\n\nThe mainstream analysis missed that the correlation between confidence and markets broke down in 2019. Notably, while the Fed is engaged in monetizing $120 billion in debt monthly, higher asset prices isnât inflating confidence.\n\nThat breakdown of consumer confidence will likely show up in consumption in the coming quarter. Such is mainly due to stimulus and other financial supports fading.\n\nA decent warning sign such may be the case was the weak retail sales report this past week. The large gap between retail sales and employment will likely get filled sooner than expected and not necessarily by higher employment.\nIf the most giant âmonetary policy experimentâ just failed, the Fed has an enormous problem.\nThe Problem For The Fed\nOver the next couple of weeks, all eyes are on the Fed. Lately, there has been an abundance of communication from Fed members discussing the need to âtaperâ its monetary interventions.\nAs Morgan Stanley recently noted:\n\nâIf the July FOMC minutes suggest that there was strong consensus and Chair Powellâs indication on tapering at Jackson Hole is therefore much firmer, we could see that as consistent with the FOMC gearing up to move on tapering sooner.â\n\nSuch is something the markets are probably not ready for.\nSo far, market participants have ignored weakening economic data, the collapse of Afghanistan, and rising risks of infections across the U.S. As long as the Fed is engaged in providing liquidity, the ârisk of missing outâ outweighs being more conservative with allocations.\nHowever, the Fed remains trapped between two very tough policy choices.\nThe system has elevated inflation levels, as indicated by the spread between the PPI and CPI inflation measures.Currently, with PPI at the highest spread to CPI in history, it suggests producers canât pass on costs to customers. Such equates to weaker profit margins and earnings in the future.However, if they elect to pass those costs onto consumers, such will raise living costs well above wages.\nWith unemployment levels dropping, and inflation rising, the Fed should be tapering monetary policy.\nHowever, the reduction in liquidity will trigger a decline in asset prices, hinder consumer confidence, and contract economic growth further.\nItâs a tough choice.\nConclusion\nWe agree with Morgan Stanleyâs assessment on the likely path of âtaperâ when it comes.\n\nâ\nThe path of least resistance is to follow the path most traveled, that is, the playbook established in the last cycle when the Fed began to reduce its purchases of longer-term assets following the 2013 taper tantrum.\n That playbook included a long lead-time to signal the start, a promise that tapering would be gradual and flexible,\n and assurances to the market that tapering would have nothing to do with the timing of first rate hike.\n Indeed, the Fed did not first raise rates until six months following the end of tapering.â\n\nWhile such is undoubtedly the path of least resistance, it is unlikely the market will like it much. As discussed in â3-Signs Of The Next Bear Market:â\n\nâTherefore, it should also not be surprising that when the Fed starts âtaperingâ their bond purchases, the market tends to witness increased volatility. The grey shaded bars in the chart below show when the balance sheet is either flat or contracting.â\n\nNotably, the time from the initial tapering of assets and a market correction is almost immediate.\nIf âmonetary policyâ has lost effectiveness in supporting consumer confidence and âanimal spirits,â the significant risk to investors could be a market decline the Fed cannot halt.\nCurrently, investors are highly confident the Fed can support markets against any risk.\nBut what if they canât?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":892937340,"gmtCreate":1628632606380,"gmtModify":1676529800073,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/892937340","repostId":"1182215080","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1182215080","pubTimestamp":1628608730,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1182215080?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-10 23:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FuboTV Looks Set To Break Out From Long-Term Pattern: What's Next?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1182215080","media":"Benzinga","summary":"FuboTV(NYSE:FUBO) is set to print its earnings after the closing bell on Tuesday.

And that makes sense: Despite Covid issues, investors are feeling a little better about the outlook for corporate earnings and the U.S. economy in the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>Judging by the headlines, the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus is poised to derail the second half of 2021. Cases are soaring once again, and concerns about breakthrough cases are making headlines everywhereâa study of cases in the county containing Cape Cod showed that 74% were in people whoâd been vaccinatedâas states reconsider their masking and back-to-school policies.</p>\n<p>But the market might have already responded to the fears: OnJuly 19, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.1%, its worst day since October, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.6%.</p>\n<p>Back then, the seven-day average of new cases in the U.S. sat at about 35,000, up almost 50% over the seven-day average from a week before. Worldwide, the seven-day average on July 19 was about 521,000 new cases, up 17% from the prior week.</p>\n<p>But the market recovered even as infection rates got worse. The S&P 500 hit a new 52-week high on July 29, despite no abatement in Covid-19 data, but slipped 0.2% on Monday. TheDow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%.</p>\n<p>Coming into Monday, the seven-day average of new Covid cases in America is about 80,000 now, up 129% since the seven-day period ending July 19. S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, however, are up about 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. The takeaway: Investors donât seem to care about Covid anymore.</p>\n<p>That might seem strange but makes some sense. First, investors might be viewing the recent surge as a U.S.-only problem. The worldwide seven-day average of new Covid cases is about 596,000, up 15% from the seven-day period ending July 19. Thatâs a better comparison than the up 129% figure for the U.S. And excluding American figures, the worldwide seven-day average is about 517,000 a day, up 6% from the level on July 19.</p>\n<p>Investors might also be more optimistic because widespread lockdowns donât look likely. Even if indoor masking comes back for fully vaccinated people, Dr. Anthony Fauci said over the weekend he did not think the U.S. would lockdown again.</p>\n<p>And Thomas Lee of FundStrat pointed out in a Monday email to clients that new hospitalization rates are slowing. Thatâs another positive that investors can point to.</p>\n<p>Whether it stays that way remains to be seen.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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 the Stock Market Doesnât Seem to Care About the Latest Surge in Covid Cases</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 the Stock Market Doesnât Seem to Care About the Latest Surge in Covid Cases\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-03 10:40 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/delta-variant-covid-stock-market-51627907555?mod=hp_LEAD_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market shrugged off rising Covid-19 infections due to the Delta variant Monday.

Cases are soaring once again, and concerns about breakthrough cases are making headlines everywhereâa study of cases in the county containing Cape Cod showed that 74% were in people whoâd been vaccinatedâas states reconsider their masking and back-to-school policies.\nBut the market might have already responded to the fears: OnJuly 19, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.1%, its worst day since October, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.6%.\nBack then, the seven-day average of new cases in the U.S. sat at about 35,000, up almost 50% over the seven-day average from a week before. Worldwide, the seven-day average on July 19 was about 521,000 new cases, up 17% from the prior week.\nBut the market recovered even as infection rates got worse. The S&P 500 hit a new 52-week high on July 29, despite no abatement in Covid-19 data, but slipped 0.2% on Monday. TheDow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%.\nComing into Monday, the seven-day average of new Covid cases in America is about 80,000 now, up 129% since the seven-day period ending July 19. S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, however, are up about 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. The takeaway: Investors donât seem to care about Covid anymore.\nThat might seem strange but makes some sense. First, investors might be viewing the recent surge as a U.S.-only problem. The worldwide seven-day average of new Covid cases is about 596,000, up 15% from the seven-day period ending July 19. Thatâs a better comparison than the up 129% figure for the U.S. And excluding American figures, the worldwide seven-day average is about 517,000 a day, up 6% from the level on July 19.\nInvestors might also be more optimistic because widespread lockdowns donât look likely. Even if indoor masking comes back for fully vaccinated people, Dr. Anthony Fauci said over the weekend he did not think the U.S. would lockdown again.\nAnd Thomas Lee of FundStrat pointed out in a Monday email to clients that new hospitalization rates are slowing. Thatâs another positive that investors can point to.\nWhether it stays that way remains to be seen.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806763556,"gmtCreate":1627694725075,"gmtModify":1703494770720,"author":{"id":"3580379447244817","authorId":"3580379447244817","name":"Haw75","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8a435feb2331b895463eca3c73cdb3f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580379447244817","authorIdStr":"3580379447244817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like latest ","listText":"Like latest ","text":"Like latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806763556","repostId":"2155001152","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155001152","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":1627675228,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155001152?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-31 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street declines with Amazon; S&P 500 posts gains for month","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155001152","media":"Reuters","summary":"U.S. consumer spending rises in June, inflation increases .
