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,” Suva added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1056,"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":452,"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&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","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","kind":"highlight","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=full_marsco","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":322,"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&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632288157,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2169658001?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2021-09-22 13:22","market":"sg","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":346,"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632218630,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1163788895?lang=&edition=full_marsco","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&nbsp;<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, there’s probably little reason to rush out and grab a large quantity of shares currently.

Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — 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, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re 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 — and crowd psychology — 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 doesn’t 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. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #2: Have a system and stick to it</b></p>\n<p>To exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.</p>\n<p>The HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&amp;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>“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”</p>\n<p>Right now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)</p>\n<p>Your system also has to tell you when to get back in.</p>\n<p>“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” 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 don’t 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>“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”</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. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #3: Don’t fight the tape</b></p>\n<p>This concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”</p>\n<p>“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”</p>\n<p>In other words, don’t try to be a hero.</p>\n<p>“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.</p>\n<p>Likewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — 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 you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesn’t even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.</p>\n<p>“You don’t have to trade crazy stuff,” he says. “You can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #5: How to trade the current market</b></p>\n<p>First, be long.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,” says Howard. “The market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon.

We may end up with a great fall [season].”</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.

But many investors say there is no better place to be right now.</p>\n<p>Major U.S. stock indexes sank Monday, with theDow Jones Industrial Average losing more than 600 points, or 1.8%, asconcerns grew that a defaultby real-estate developer China Evergrande Group could spur a widespread retreat from riskier assets. Percolating worries about a slowdown in economic growth, ongoing supply-chain issues andrising deathstied to the Delta variant of the coronavirus added to the volatility.</p>\n<p>For months, investors have been bracing for apullback such as this, warning in some cases that the U.S. stock market had run up too far, too fast. But now, with the Dow down 3.9% month-to-date, some traders say they aren’t concerned.</p>\n<p>“The short-term noise we’re dealing with does not change the fact that we think the economy is on solid footing and that equities still look attractive relative to other assets,” said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. “We still think the primary market trend over the next 12 months is higher.”</p>\n<p>That outlook matches the so-called TINA mantra that has carried the market higher for much of the past year, with many investors believing “there is no alternative” to stocks. With yields on other assets such as bonds hovering at such low levels, many investors have been willing to keep buying equities at record-high prices.

But many investors say there is no better place to be right now.\nMajor U.S. stock indexes sank Monday, with theDow Jones Industrial Average losing more than 600 points, or 1.8%, asconcerns grew that a defaultby real-estate developer China Evergrande Group could spur a widespread retreat from riskier assets. Percolating worries about a slowdown in economic growth, ongoing supply-chain issues andrising deathstied to the Delta variant of the coronavirus added to the volatility.\nFor months, investors have been bracing for apullback such as this, warning in some cases that the U.S. stock market had run up too far, too fast. But now, with the Dow down 3.9% month-to-date, some traders say they aren’t concerned.\n“The short-term noise we’re dealing with does not change the fact that we think the economy is on solid footing and that equities still look attractive relative to other assets,” said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. “We still think the primary market trend over the next 12 months is higher.”\nThat outlook matches the so-called TINA mantra that has carried the market higher for much of the past year, with many investors believing “there is no alternative” to stocks. With yields on other assets such as bonds hovering at such low levels, many investors have been willing to keep buying equities at record-high prices. Even amid the continuing pullback, some investors have said they are only tweaking their stock allocations and strategies rather than ditching equities in favor of other asset classes across the market.\nEvidence of that mind-set has been apparent in recent stock positioning data, which suggest that investors expect further gains ahead.

Its shares closed down 1.0% and were the heaviest drag on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.\nIntuit Inc gained 1.9% following the TurboTax maker’s announcement that it would acquire digital marketing company Mailchimp for $12 billion.\nCureVac slid 8.0% after the German biotechnology company canceled manufacturing deals for its experimental COVID-19 vaccine.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.25-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.40-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted two new 52-week highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 50 new highs and 107 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 10.07 billion shares, compared with the 9.38 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":116,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817278926,"gmtCreate":1630972582265,"gmtModify":1676530429519,"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&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817278926","repostId":"1174273306","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818868805,"gmtCreate":1630396440407,"gmtModify":1676530290567,"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":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/818868805","repostId":"2163833181","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2163833181","kind":"highlight","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":1630353642,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2163833181?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2021-08-31 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P, Nasdaq end at record highs as dovish Fed taper-talk calms investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2163833181","media":"Reuters","summary":"S&P 500 tracks longest monthly winning streak since 2018.\nS&P 500, Nasdaq end at fresh record highs\n","content":"<p>S&amp;P 500 tracks longest monthly winning streak since 2018.</p>\n<p>S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq end at fresh record highs</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> gains on report it is exploring a stock-trading platform</p>\n<p>Aug 30 (Reuters) -

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 “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”</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>&nbsp;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 Ebbers’ 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&nbsp;attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s 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 didn’t 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>Ebbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.&nbsp;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&amp;T Inc.'s</b>&nbsp;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&nbsp;<b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b>&nbsp;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>“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” 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&nbsp;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 company’s 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&nbsp;<b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b>&nbsp;in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&amp;T and&nbsp;<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 Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to&nbsp;<b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for&nbsp;<b>CompuServe</b>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<b>H&amp;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&nbsp;<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 —&nbsp;except that Ebbers’ 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, Ebbers’ 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 company’s 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 “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”</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 “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”</p>\n<p>While Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t 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, Ebbers’ 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, Ebbers’ 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 —&nbsp;which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country —&nbsp;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 Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a&nbsp;senior manager ordering&nbsp;a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The company’s 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 —&nbsp;and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named&nbsp;<b>Kim Amigh</b>in the company’s 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 —&nbsp;three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit&nbsp;<b>Cynthia Cooper</b>&nbsp;learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s 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 —&nbsp;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 “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t 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 “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbers’ 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&nbsp;— and then borrowed again&nbsp;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&nbsp;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>Road’s 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 WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”</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, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

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 “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”\nBut 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.\nA Man In Search Of Himself: 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 Ebbers’ 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 Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s 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 didn’t 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.\nEbbers’ 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.\n“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” 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 company’s 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 Ebbers’ 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 Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbers’ 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 — except that Ebbers’ 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, Ebbers’ 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 company’s 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 “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\n“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”\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 “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”\nWhile Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t 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, Ebbers’ 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, Ebbers’ 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 — which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country — announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier.

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 Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.\nWorldcom’s 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 company’s 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 — and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.\nA WorldCom budget analyst named Kim Amighin the company’s 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 — three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.\nBut Vice President of Internal Audit Cynthia Cooper learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s 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 — 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.

Stock prices rose, and long-term interest rates fell when investors began to anticipate the most recent action.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Easier financial conditions will promote economic growth. For example, lower mortgage rates will make housing more affordable and allow more homeowners to refinance. Lower corporate bond rates will encourage investment.&nbsp;</i>\n <i><b>And higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending.”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>What he is referring to is known as&nbsp;<b><i>“Animal Spirits.”</i></b></p>\n<p>Animal spirits came from the Latin term “<i>spiritus animals,”</i>&nbsp;which means the&nbsp;<b><i>“breath that awakens the human mind.”</i></b>Its modern usage came about in John Maynard Keynes’ 1936 publication, “<i>The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money.”</i><b>Ultimately, “animal spirits was adopted by Wall Street to describe the psychological factors driving investor actions.</b></p>\n<p>Specifically, Ben Bernanke realized that investors would respond to that stimulus and increase asset prices by providing accommodation.</p>\n<p>In other words, as long as individuals&nbsp;<i>“believe”</i>&nbsp;the Fed is lifting asset prices higher, they take action buying stocks and driving asset prices higher.<b>&nbsp;Thus, investor actions deliver the desired outcome.</b></p>\n<p><b>It Was All Going According To Plan</b></p>\n<p>Since the Fed began its monetary interventions, the correlation between the asset prices and confidence remains high.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/210d14dd122881846ea4226effb170ea\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"453\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">As noted, the entire premise of monetary policy was to spur consumer spending.

The recent dislocation between consumer confidence and the financial markets may indicate just that.\n\n“U.S. consumer sentiment dropped sharply in early August to its lowest level in a decade, in a worrying sign for the economy as Americans gave faltering outlooks on everything from personal finances to inflation and employment,” – Reuters\n\nHowever, to understand why I am asking the question, we have to revisit whatBen Bernanke said in 2010 to support the idea of a second round of “Quantitative Easing.”\n\n“This approach eased financial conditions in the past and, so far, looks to be effective again. Stock prices rose, and long-term interest rates fell when investors began to anticipate the most recent action.\n Easier financial conditions will promote economic growth. For example, lower mortgage rates will make housing more affordable and allow more homeowners to refinance. Lower corporate bond rates will encourage investment. \nAnd higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending.”\n\nWhat he is referring to is known as “Animal Spirits.”\nAnimal spirits came from the Latin term “spiritus animals,” which means the “breath that awakens the human mind.”Its modern usage came about in John Maynard Keynes’ 1936 publication, “The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money.”Ultimately, “animal spirits was adopted by Wall Street to describe the psychological factors driving investor actions.\nSpecifically, Ben Bernanke realized that investors would respond to that stimulus and increase asset prices by providing accommodation.\nIn other words, as long as individuals “believe” the Fed is lifting asset prices higher, they take action buying stocks and driving asset prices higher. Thus, investor actions deliver the desired outcome.\nIt Was All Going According To Plan\nSince the Fed began its monetary interventions, the correlation between the asset prices and confidence remains high.\nAs noted, the entire premise of monetary policy was to spur consumer spending. Everything seemed to be according to plan.\n\nThe problem was that while the Fed lifted asset prices, the economy didn’t strengthen as expected. As discussed recently:\n\n“However, while the Federal Reserve got the desired outcome of increasing asset prices, “quantitative easing” failed to “trickle down.” \nDespite the massive expansion of the Fed’s 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.\n“\n\n“Since 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.)”\nAgain, it was all going according to plan, sort of.\nUntil now.\nDid The Monetary Policy Experiment Just Fail?\n\n“Over 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,”\n Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michigan’s 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.”\n – CNBC\n\nThe decline was extremely sharp.\n\n“Not only was the release dramatically worse than the last update, but it was a huge miss relative to expectations. Today’s 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.” – \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 isn’t 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 “monetary policy experiment” 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 “taper” its monetary interventions.\nAs Morgan Stanley recently noted:\n\n“If the July FOMC minutes suggest that there was strong consensus and Chair Powell’s 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.”\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 “risk of missing out” 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 can’t 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.\nIt’s a tough choice.\nConclusion\nWe agree with Morgan Stanley’s assessment on the likely path of “taper” when it comes.\n\n“\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.”\n\nWhile such is undoubtedly the path of least resistance, it is unlikely the market will like it much. As discussed in “3-Signs Of The Next Bear Market:”\n\n“Therefore, it should also not be surprising that when the Fed starts ‘tapering’ 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.”\n\nNotably, the time from the initial tapering of assets and a market correction is almost immediate.\nIf “monetary policy” has lost effectiveness in supporting consumer confidence and “animal spirits,” 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 can’t?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"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,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804260128,"gmtCreate":1627958484364,"gmtModify":1703498604437,"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&nbsp;","listText":"Like latest&nbsp;","text":"Like latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804260128","repostId":"1134094306","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"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&nbsp;","listText":"Like latest&nbsp;","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,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":177,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
