SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.  Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.  Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":702,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108737888,"gmtCreate":1620053664044,"gmtModify":1704337993142,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108737888","repostId":"2132594900","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132594900","pubTimestamp":1620052200,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132594900?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 22:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Did Retail Investors Just Doom AMC Entertainment?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132594900","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"AMC has dropped a proxy bid to double its authorized share count, but investors shouldn't be celebrating.","content":"<p>When the curtain closes on 2021 in just under eight months, I have little question that this year will be anointed the \"Year of the Retail Investor.\"</p>\n<p>Whether it's been cryptocurrencies or stocks with high levels of short interest, retail investors on social media platforms such as Reddit and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>&nbsp;have made their presence known and rocked the boat in a way that Wall Street has never before seen.</p>\n<p>The most prominent way retail investors have exerted their influence in the market is by banding together to buy shares and out-of-the-money call options in companies with high short interest -- i.e., companies where a large percentage of shares are borrowed and held by pessimists who want to see the price of a stock decline.

This has been the case in previous quarters, as well. In fact, after backing out regulatory credits from Tesla's net income, the company has been unprofitable for six-straight quarters.</p>\n<p>Tesla's bottom line got an additional boost in the first quarter from a gain onthe sale of<b>Bitcoin</b>to the tune of $101 million, which showed up as a reduction in costs.

CHART BY AUTHOR.</p>\n<p>There's no question that Tesla's growth is impressive, but there's also no question that the core business of making and selling cars is not turning a profit. The question Tesla investors need to ask themselves is: If Tesla isn't profitable now, when there's little to no competition in electric vehicles in the United States, what's going to happen when a deluge of competition fromtraditional automakersarrives?</p>\n<p>A ton of competition is coming</p>\n<p>Tesla's brand has a cult following, so some people will be buying Tesla vehicles regardless of the other options available. But that's not likely to be the case for most people.</p>\n<p>The number of electric vehicles available for purchase in the U.S. is set to explode in the coming years.<b>General Motors</b>(NYSE:GM)is planning to launch 30 EVs globally by 2025, with two-thirds set to be sold in North America. The company is aiming to sell 1 million EVs annually in North America by 2025.</p>\n<p>Those models include electric versions of the company's GMC Hummer and Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Tesla has a loyal customer base, but so does GM. Someone who's been a GM truck buyer for years is likely to stick with GM when they decide to switch to an electric vehicle.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c651279799dfdf96552379a7b5d448a9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>IMAGE SOURCE: GM.</p>\n<p><b>Ford</b>(NYSE:F)is also pouring resources into electric vehicles, allocating $29 billion for electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025. The company's plans include anelectric version of its F-150 pickup truck, which should hit the production lines by mid-2022. Given GM's and Ford's plans, it will not be easy for Tesla to steal away market share in the lucrative pickup-truck segment.</p>\n<p>Other car companies have big plans, as well.<b>Volkswagen</b>(OTC:VWAGY)already sells over 200,000 EVs annually andexpects that number to double this year.

Tesla managed aGAAPnet income of $438 million in the first quarter, up from just $16 million one-year prior. It would appear, at least at first glance, that the electric-vehicle (EV) pioneer is on the right track in terms of profitability.\nThe problem is that these profits aren't really coming from the cars that Tesla sells. The company currently generates hundreds of millions of dollars in pure profit each quarter from the sale of regulatory credits, a side effect of other automakers not making enough zero-emission vehicles to meet regulatory requirements.\nRegulatory credit sales totaled $518 million in the first quarter, accounting for all of Tesla's profit and then some. This has been the case in previous quarters, as well. In fact, after backing out regulatory credits from Tesla's net income, the company has been unprofitable for six-straight quarters.\nTesla's bottom line got an additional boost in the first quarter from a gain onthe sale ofBitcointo the tune of $101 million, which showed up as a reduction in costs. The picture doesn't look so rosy when both regulatory credits and Bitcoin gains are excluded:\n\nDATA SOURCE: TESLA. CHART BY AUTHOR.\nThere's no question that Tesla's growth is impressive, but there's also no question that the core business of making and selling cars is not turning a profit. The question Tesla investors need to ask themselves is: If Tesla isn't profitable now, when there's little to no competition in electric vehicles in the United States, what's going to happen when a deluge of competition fromtraditional automakersarrives?\nA ton of competition is coming\nTesla's brand has a cult following, so some people will be buying Tesla vehicles regardless of the other options available. But that's not likely to be the case for most people.\nThe number of electric vehicles available for purchase in the U.S. is set to explode in the coming years.General Motors(NYSE:GM)is planning to launch 30 EVs globally by 2025, with two-thirds set to be sold in North America. The company is aiming to sell 1 million EVs annually in North America by 2025.\nThose models include electric versions of the company's GMC Hummer and Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Tesla has a loyal customer base, but so does GM. Someone who's been a GM truck buyer for years is likely to stick with GM when they decide to switch to an electric vehicle.\n\nIMAGE SOURCE: GM.\nFord(NYSE:F)is also pouring resources into electric vehicles, allocating $29 billion for electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025. The company's plans include anelectric version of its F-150 pickup truck, which should hit the production lines by mid-2022. Given GM's and Ford's plans, it will not be easy for Tesla to steal away market share in the lucrative pickup-truck segment.\nOther car companies have big plans, as well.Volkswagen(OTC:VWAGY)already sells over 200,000 EVs annually andexpects that number to double this year. The company is aiming to sell roughly 2 million EVs annually by 2025 and expects to launch 70 EV models by 2030.Toyota(NYSE:TM)willlaunch 15 new electric vehicles by 2025, some of which will be under the new Toyota bZ sub-brand. The list goes on.\nNot only will all these electric vehicles provide consumers with a bevy of options beyond Tesla, but they'll also deprive Tesla of its regulatory-credit income as other automakers churn out an increasing number of EVs.\nNone of this is to say that Tesla can't be successful in a world where it faces more competition. But turning a profit is is going to get harder with each passing year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":460,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370477073,"gmtCreate":1618623648092,"gmtModify":1704713520407,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370477073","repostId":"1155509413","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155509413","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":1618587639,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155509413?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Taiwan's Drought Poses Additional Threat To Looming Global Chip Crisis: WSJ","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155509413","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Taiwan’s severe drought could aggravate the ongoing global chip crisis as semiconductor producers required a massive water supply to clean the wafer base, etch patterns, polish layers and rinse components throughout the manufacturing process, the Wall Street Journal reports.Taiwan’s semiconductor wafer-fabrication factories  accounted for two-thirds of the global manufacturing capacity.

TSM aimed to reduce its water requirement per unit by 30% from 2010 levels by 2030.\nTSM accounted for around 4.5% of Taiwan’s GDP in 2018, and chip sales accounted for 64% of Taiwan’s export growth on average over the past five years.\nGermany has sought Taiwan’s assistance to secure chip supply for German car manufacturers.\nPrice action: TSM shares traded flat at $118.35 on the last check Friday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":404,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372239458,"gmtCreate":1619219368474,"gmtModify":1704721340542,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MVIS\">$Microvision(MVIS)$</a>&nbsp;Hold longer","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MVIS\">$Microvision(MVIS)$</a>&nbsp;Hold longer","text":"$Microvision(MVIS)$ Hold longer","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc20605ff6564072008e3b590383b785","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372239458","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379292429,"gmtCreate":1618740038961,"gmtModify":1704714497653,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>gogogo","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>gogogo","text":"$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$gogogo","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d88ad2099b465783cb02a7d2f4a1651c","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379292429","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":568,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370471642,"gmtCreate":1618623243386,"gmtModify":1704713512972,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>&nbsp;slowly waiting","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>&nbsp;slowly waiting","text":"$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$ slowly waiting","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d88ad2099b465783cb02a7d2f4a1651c","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370471642","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":569,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373140516,"gmtCreate":1618834685635,"gmtModify":1704715546357,"author":{"id":"3581384883218141","authorId":"3581384883218141","name":"Hakuhatsu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d341280abd364e330fbc9ac4741837","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581384883218141","authorIdStr":"3581384883218141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Mayb time to buy..&nbsp;","listText":"Mayb time to buy..&nbsp;","text":"Mayb time to buy..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373140516","repostId":"2128315893","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":228,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
