Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.</p>\n<p>Earnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%. &nbsp;As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>Shopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story.&nbsp;Its fulfillment center strategy&nbsp;is one of them, giving&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.</p>\n<p><b>Square (SQ)</b></p>\n<p>Square has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.</p>\n<p>The Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to&nbsp;over 36 million in 2020.&nbsp; Through its&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>)&nbsp; functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.</p>\n<p><b>Snap (SNAP)</b></p>\n<p>Social media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.</p>\n<p>Daily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.&nbsp; Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66%&nbsp;year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.&nbsp; Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Group (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.</p>\n<p>Alibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.</p>\n<p><b>Etsy (ETSY)</b></p>\n<p>Etsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>With last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress.

Stocks might have taken a back seat to housing, oil, gold, or other assets for brief periods of time over the past century, but they've delivered the highest consistent returns of any investment vehicle.</p><p>That is until cryptocurrencies came along a little over a decade ago.</p><p>The emergence of <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC), <b>Ethereum</b> (CRYPTO:ETH), <b>Dogecoin</b> (CRYPTO:DOGE), and a host of other digital currencies have paved the way for once-in-a-lifetime gains. For instance, a $155 investment in Bitcoin at $1 would have been worth over $1 million when it hit $64,800 a token in mid-April.</p><p>But over the past two weeks, cryptocurrencies have fallen off a cliff. Some would call this a natural pullback after a monstrous run higher. I have a different name for it: a popping bubble.</p><p>While there is no shortage of enthusiasts who believe digital currencies are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I believe the crypto market is imploding for 10 very good reasons.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08bd510be5ae746f0867c5de1184417a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"464\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>1. There's very minimal real-world utility</p><p>One of the biggest drawbacks of digital currency is that it's virtually useless outside a cryptocurrency exchange. Although we've seen a small number of high-profile companies or organizations accept Bitcoin or Dogecoin, the reality is that the total number of businesses accepting either is microscopic. Approximately 1,300 businesses globally have chosen to accept Dogecoin after eight years, while Fundera found that 15,174 businesses accept Bitcoin, as of December 2020. For some context here, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide.</p><p>2. Valuations, relative to transaction data, made no sense</p><p>Even though valuation is somewhat subjective, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> glance at transaction data for the three most popular cryptocurrencies, relative to payment processing juggernauts such as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b> (NYSE:V) and <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA), would leave anyone's jaw on the floor.</p><p>The latest Nilson report found that 1.01 billion credit transactions were processed daily in 2018, 700 million of which were handled by Visa and Mastercard. By comparison, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are processing in the neighborhood of 300,000, 1.4 million, and 50,000 respective transactions on their blockchains each day. All the major cryptos combined can't hold a candle to the processing potential of Visa or Mastercard, yet the Big Three of crypto have a higher combined market value than Visa and Mastercard. That makes no sense.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce89a01a16c15dafb27017a6a42cedc3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>3. Businesses have been slow to adopt blockchain</p><p>On paper, blockchain sounds great. On the financial side of the equation, it's a way to expedite the validation and settlement of payments. Rather than waiting up to a week for cross-border payments to settle, they could be resolved in mere seconds or minutes. Blockchain also has nonfinancial applications. Ethereum's smart contract-driven blockchain might be the key to one day unlocking supply chain bottlenecks.</p><p>However, what sounds great on paper doesn't always translate into real-world success. Blockchain continues to suffer from a Catch-22. Businesses won't adopt it till the technology is proven on a broad scale, but no businesses will abandon their existing (and proven) infrastructure to effectively be the guinea pig. Until blockchain matures, big business will keep its distance.</p><p>4. There's virtually no barrier to entry</p><p>Aside from minimal utility, my biggest personal gripe with crypto is there's no barrier to entry. Anyone with the time to code can develop a blockchain and, potentially, a tethered token. According to CoinMarketCap, there are almost 10,000 different cryptocurrencies in its system. While many aren't trading much, if at all, that's an insane number of potential competitors to Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, with the likelihood of many more to come.</p><p>In short, the crypto space is constantly being diluted by an unlimited amount of competition.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614d7f34734e33d740f7f9c02ed3f8fd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>5. Centralization remains a problem</p><p>One of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.</p><p>6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstrings</p><p>Another reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk.</p><p>At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.</p><p>The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c7f03bc8a60bee0f293f0582f185505\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>7. Not all governments are OK with crypto</p><p>The crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.</p><p>And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.</p><p>8. There are no identifiable real-world correlations</p><p>Yet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.</p><p>For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.</p><p>Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b04ade705354c4825038c4dfcd0187d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>9. Leverage is haunting the crypto market</p><p>The cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.</p><p>According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.</p><p>10.

Stocks might have taken a back seat to housing, oil, gold, or other assets for brief periods of time over the past century, but they've delivered the highest consistent returns of any investment vehicle.That is until cryptocurrencies came along a little over a decade ago.The emergence of Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE), and a host of other digital currencies have paved the way for once-in-a-lifetime gains. For instance, a $155 investment in Bitcoin at $1 would have been worth over $1 million when it hit $64,800 a token in mid-April.But over the past two weeks, cryptocurrencies have fallen off a cliff. Some would call this a natural pullback after a monstrous run higher. I have a different name for it: a popping bubble.While there is no shortage of enthusiasts who believe digital currencies are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I believe the crypto market is imploding for 10 very good reasons.Image source: Getty Images.1. There's very minimal real-world utilityOne of the biggest drawbacks of digital currency is that it's virtually useless outside a cryptocurrency exchange. Although we've seen a small number of high-profile companies or organizations accept Bitcoin or Dogecoin, the reality is that the total number of businesses accepting either is microscopic. Approximately 1,300 businesses globally have chosen to accept Dogecoin after eight years, while Fundera found that 15,174 businesses accept Bitcoin, as of December 2020. For some context here, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide.2. Valuations, relative to transaction data, made no senseEven though valuation is somewhat subjective, one glance at transaction data for the three most popular cryptocurrencies, relative to payment processing juggernauts such as Visa (NYSE:V) and Mastercard (NYSE:MA), would leave anyone's jaw on the floor.The latest Nilson report found that 1.01 billion credit transactions were processed daily in 2018, 700 million of which were handled by Visa and Mastercard. By comparison, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are processing in the neighborhood of 300,000, 1.4 million, and 50,000 respective transactions on their blockchains each day. All the major cryptos combined can't hold a candle to the processing potential of Visa or Mastercard, yet the Big Three of crypto have a higher combined market value than Visa and Mastercard. That makes no sense.Image source: Getty Images.3. Businesses have been slow to adopt blockchainOn paper, blockchain sounds great. On the financial side of the equation, it's a way to expedite the validation and settlement of payments. Rather than waiting up to a week for cross-border payments to settle, they could be resolved in mere seconds or minutes. Blockchain also has nonfinancial applications. Ethereum's smart contract-driven blockchain might be the key to one day unlocking supply chain bottlenecks.However, what sounds great on paper doesn't always translate into real-world success. Blockchain continues to suffer from a Catch-22. Businesses won't adopt it till the technology is proven on a broad scale, but no businesses will abandon their existing (and proven) infrastructure to effectively be the guinea pig. Until blockchain matures, big business will keep its distance.4. There's virtually no barrier to entryAside from minimal utility, my biggest personal gripe with crypto is there's no barrier to entry. Anyone with the time to code can develop a blockchain and, potentially, a tethered token. According to CoinMarketCap, there are almost 10,000 different cryptocurrencies in its system. While many aren't trading much, if at all, that's an insane number of potential competitors to Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, with the likelihood of many more to come.In short, the crypto space is constantly being diluted by an unlimited amount of competition.Image source: Getty Images.5. Centralization remains a problemOne of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstringsAnother reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.Image source: Getty Images.7. Not all governments are OK with cryptoThe crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.8. There are no identifiable real-world correlationsYet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.Image source: Getty Images.9. Leverage is haunting the crypto marketThe cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.10. Investors always overhype new techFinally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":767,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133053390,"gmtCreate":1621673276810,"gmtModify":1704361344819,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hodl","listText":"Hodl","text":"Hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133053390","repostId":"2137990425","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137990425","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1621610466,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137990425?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech Stock Crash -- Buy These 2 Growth Stocks on the Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137990425","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tech stocks have taken a hit.

Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.</p>\n<h2>1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing</h2>\n<p>Cloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17%&nbsp;of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e55778fa4732da24b1a14ed4fcaafa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Traditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach&nbsp;to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.</p>\n<p>In 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.</p>\n<p>Beyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.</p>\n<p>In total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing <i>much</i> faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Customers</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>49,309</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>119,206</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>31%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$135 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$478 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>48%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Cloudflare&nbsp;SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>Going forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like <b>Akamai</b>&nbsp;and public cloud titans like <b>Amazon</b> Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: E-commerce</h2>\n<p>Creating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.</p>\n<p>Shopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its&nbsp;software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff4a35f99c16648b52d7b3f448eb34e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Shopify.</span></p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world. In 2016 the company had 377,500&nbsp;customers, but that figure double by 2018&nbsp;and doubled again by 2020, reaching 1.7 million.</p>\n<p>At the same time, Shopify has seen strong adoption of its payment processing and shipping services. In 2016 Shopify Payments handled 39% of gross merchandise volume&nbsp;(GMV), but that figure hit 45% in 2020. Likewise, less than 40% of U.S. and Canadian merchants&nbsp;used Shopify Shipping in 2018, but that figure hit 52% in 2020.</p>\n<p>Here's the takeaway: Shopify's quickly growing customer base has powered soaring subscription sales, but increasing adoption of Shopify Payments and Shopify Shipping has driven even faster sales growth in merchant solutions.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Shopify Revenue</p></th>\n   <th><p>2016</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Subscription</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$188.6 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$908.8 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>48%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Merchant Solutions</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$200.7 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$2.0 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>78%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Total</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$389.3 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$2.9 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>66%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Shopify&nbsp;SEC filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>In Q1 2021, Shopify's business continued to gain speed. Subscription sales growth accelerated to 71% and merchant solutions sales growth accelerated to 137%. In total, Q1 revenue came in at $989 million -- more than double its full-year revenue in 2016.</p>\n<p>This supercharged financial performance can't last forever, but even as growth slows, I believe Shopify will be an important player in the e-commerce industry for decades to come. That's why this tech stock looks like a buy.</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>Tech Stock Crash -- Buy These 2 Growth Stocks on the Dip</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\">\nTech Stock Crash -- Buy These 2 Growth Stocks on the Dip\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 23:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/tech-stock-crash-buy-these-2-growth-stocks-on-dip/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you're a tech investor, you've probably seen some red in your portfolio recently.

Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.\nBeyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.\nIn total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing much faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\n49,309\n119,206\n31%\n\n\nRevenue\n$135 million\n$478 million\n48%\n\n\n\nData source: Cloudflare SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nGoing forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like Akamai and public cloud titans like Amazon Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.\n2. Shopify: E-commerce\nCreating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.\nShopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.\nImage source: Shopify.\nNot surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world. In 2016 the company had 377,500 customers, but that figure double by 2018 and doubled again by 2020, reaching 1.7 million.\nAt the same time, Shopify has seen strong adoption of its payment processing and shipping services. In 2016 Shopify Payments handled 39% of gross merchandise volume (GMV), but that figure hit 45% in 2020. Likewise, less than 40% of U.S. and Canadian merchants used Shopify Shipping in 2018, but that figure hit 52% in 2020.\nHere's the takeaway: Shopify's quickly growing customer base has powered soaring subscription sales, but increasing adoption of Shopify Payments and Shopify Shipping has driven even faster sales growth in merchant solutions.\n\n\n\nShopify Revenue\n2016\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nSubscription\n$188.6 million\n$908.8 million\n48%\n\n\nMerchant Solutions\n$200.7 million\n$2.0 billion\n78%\n\n\nTotal\n$389.3 million\n$2.9 billion\n66%\n\n\n\nData source: Shopify SEC filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nIn Q1 2021, Shopify's business continued to gain speed. Subscription sales growth accelerated to 71% and merchant solutions sales growth accelerated to 137%. In total, Q1 revenue came in at $989 million -- more than double its full-year revenue in 2016.\nThis supercharged financial performance can't last forever, but even as growth slows, I believe Shopify will be an important player in the e-commerce industry for decades to come. That's why this tech stock looks like a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139317533,"gmtCreate":1621592122522,"gmtModify":1704360195760,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh no","listText":"Oh no","text":"Oh no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139317533","repostId":"2137903089","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137903089","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":1621586627,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137903089?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 16:43","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Hong Kong to restrict crypto exchanges to professional investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137903089","media":"Reuters","summary":"HONG KONG, May 21 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Hong Kong will have to be licenc","content":"<p>HONG KONG, May 21 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Hong Kong will have to be licenced by the city's markets regulator and will only be allowed to provide services to professional investors, according to government proposals to be presented later this year.</p><p>Hong Kong's Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, which has been consulting the market on changes to rules for crypto exchanges since last year, intends to table the legislation in the upcoming 2021-22 session of the city's legislative assembly, it said in a statement on Friday.</p><p>Governments and financial regulators around the world are still assessing whether and how they should regulate the cryptocurrency industry.

Wood thinks the latest plunge could be a good thing for the prospects of approval. “The odds are going up now that we have had this correction,” she said.\nAlthough her funds have taken a hit this year, with her flagship Ark Innovation ETF down more than 34% from its high in February, the firm’s product line-up hasn’t yet faced a monthly outflow, she said.\n“There were a lot of commentators out there, shall I say, screaming about how our ETFs would have to shut down, which is impossible,” she said.\nIn fact, the move toward value sectors that’s caused her funds to suffer is encouraging to her.\n“The forces that the coronavirus put in motion supporting all of the innovation in which we invest, they’re not looking back,” she said. “We’re looking at this saying: Alright, on sale. Innovation is on sale. Oh and by the way, the bull market had broadened out.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":573,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197960988,"gmtCreate":1621420279044,"gmtModify":1704357322973,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to know","listText":"Good to know","text":"Good to know","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197960988","repostId":"1126891253","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126891253","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1621404438,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126891253?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 14:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Oat Milk Company Oatly to IPO -- Here's What Investors Need to Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126891253","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The largest oat milk company in the world, Oatly, could be going public this weekon Thursday.The Swedish firm is know for its dairy-alternative products made from oats.

But they would have trouble justifying the audacious $10 billion price that Oatly has set as the benchmark for its stock offering.</p><p>Nestlé’s answer was to develop its own milk substitute, Wunda, which the company unveiled this month and plans to sell initially in France, Portugal and the Netherlands. Made from a variety of yellow peas, Wunda is higher in protein than oat milk. Some nutritionists have said that oat milk and other dairy alternatives are a poor substitute for cow’s milk because they don’t have nearly as much protein.</p><p>Stefan Palzer, the chief technology officer at Nestlé, took issue with those who say a big company can’t move as fast as a bunch of Swedish foodies. A young team at Nestlé developed Wunda in nine months, including three months of market testing in Britain, Mr. Palzer said in an interview.</p><p>Nestlé was able to adapt existing production facilities to make Wunda, rather than building new factories like Oatly must do. The company already had plant scientists who could identify the best kind of pea and food safety experts who could navigate the regulatory approval process, Mr. Palzer said.</p><p>The Wunda developers “could have any expert they wanted to have on the project,” Mr. Palzer said. “That enabled them to move at this speed.”</p><p>Nestlé already has dairy-free versions of Nesquik drinks and Häagen-Dazs ice cream and sells coffee creamers made from a blend of oat and almond milk using the Starbucks brand. The company is in a major push to develop substitutes for almost any kind of animal product. The next frontier: fish. Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.</p><p>“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”</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>Oat Milk Company Oatly to IPO -- Here's What Investors Need to Know</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\">\nOat Milk Company Oatly to IPO -- Here's What Investors Need to Know\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-19 14:07</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>The largest oat milk company in the world, Oatly, could be going public this weekon Thursday.</p><p>The Swedish firm is know for its dairy-alternative products made from oats.

The company points out that substituting a cup of Oatly for a cup of cow’s milk reduces greenhouse gas emissions, land use and energy consumption.Tastewise, which provides food and beverage data and intelligence, said in a December 2020 report that “plant-based everything” will be one of the top 10 U.S. trends for this year.Oatly’s key markets are Sweden, Germany and the U.K., though its products were available in 60,000 retail stores and 32,200 coffee shops around the world as of December 31, 2020. Among the places where customers can find Oatly is Starbucks, where demand was so high there was a shortage soon after the coffee chain introduced beverages made with the item.Oatly arrived in the U.S. in 2017. The company says it “focused on targeting coffee’s tastemakers, professional baristas at independent coffee shops” as a way to enter the market.”By December 31, 2020, Oatly was in more than 7,500 retail shops and 10,000 coffee shops in the U.S. Revenue in 2020 totaled $100 million in the U.S.Oatly can also be found in 11,000 coffee and tea shops in China, and at more than 6,000 retail and specialty shops across the country, including thousands of Starbucks locations.Loss of WarningIn 2020, Oatly had revenue of $421.4 million, up from $204.0 million the year before. However, the company reported a loss of $60.4 million “reflecting our continued investment in production, brand awareness, new markets and product development,” the prospectus said.Oatly is classified as an “emerging growth company,” which means it does not have to make the same disclosures required of bigger public companies. A business remains an emerging growth company until it reaches a number of milestones, including annual revenue of more than $1.07 billion.Oatly warns that it has reported losses over the last “several” years and expects operating and capital expenses to rise “substantially.”“Our expansion efforts may take longer or prove more expensive than we anticipate, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue and margins sufficiently to offset the anticipated higher expenses,” the company said in its prospectus.“We incur significant expenses in researching and developing our innovative products, building out our production and manufacturing facilities, obtaining and storing ingredients and other products and marketing the products we offer.”The dairy market is highly competitiveOatly acknowledged in its offering documents that it faces fierce competition, including from “multinational corporations with substantially greater resources and operations than us.”That would include British consumer goods maker Unilever, which said last year that it aims to generate revenue of one billion euros, or $1.2 billion, by 2027 from plant-based substitutes for meat and dairy, for example Hellmann’s vegan mayonnaise or Ben & Jerry’s dairy-free ice cream. Unilever has not announced plans for a milk substitute.Some industry analysts argue that Oatly’s size gives it an edge over these giants, allowing it to be more innovative than a corporate behemoth. Food start-ups are “younger and faster,” said Patrick Müller-Sarmiento, head of the consumer goods and retail practice at Roland Berger, a German consulting firm.The established food giants also have a tougher time than newcomers convincing consumers that they are sincere about saving the planet, an important part of the oat milk sales pitch.Mr. Müller-Sarmiento, the former chief executive of Real, a German chain of big box stores, said meat and dairy alternatives are not having trouble competing with Big Food for precious retail shelf space. “Retailers are urgently looking for new products,” he said.Time was when Nestlé or Unilever would have simply acquired Oatly, just as they have gobbled up hundreds of other brands. But they would have trouble justifying the audacious $10 billion price that Oatly has set as the benchmark for its stock offering.Nestlé’s answer was to develop its own milk substitute, Wunda, which the company unveiled this month and plans to sell initially in France, Portugal and the Netherlands. Made from a variety of yellow peas, Wunda is higher in protein than oat milk. Some nutritionists have said that oat milk and other dairy alternatives are a poor substitute for cow’s milk because they don’t have nearly as much protein.Stefan Palzer, the chief technology officer at Nestlé, took issue with those who say a big company can’t move as fast as a bunch of Swedish foodies. A young team at Nestlé developed Wunda in nine months, including three months of market testing in Britain, Mr. Palzer said in an interview.Nestlé was able to adapt existing production facilities to make Wunda, rather than building new factories like Oatly must do. The company already had plant scientists who could identify the best kind of pea and food safety experts who could navigate the regulatory approval process, Mr. Palzer said.The Wunda developers “could have any expert they wanted to have on the project,” Mr. Palzer said. “That enabled them to move at this speed.”Nestlé already has dairy-free versions of Nesquik drinks and Häagen-Dazs ice cream and sells coffee creamers made from a blend of oat and almond milk using the Starbucks brand. The company is in a major push to develop substitutes for almost any kind of animal product. The next frontier: fish. Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":528,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195523592,"gmtCreate":1621302793916,"gmtModify":1704355423792,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195523592","repostId":"2136954849","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136954849","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621298418,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136954849?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-18 08:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Berkshire sheds nearly all of Wells Fargo, a holding since 1989","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136954849","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Inc has sold nearly all of its holdings in Wells Fargo & Co, as Warre","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Inc has sold nearly all of its holdings in Wells Fargo &amp; Co, as Warren Buffett abandoned a more than 31-year-old investment that had been among his most successful before the bank was felled by scandals for mistreating customers.

But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.</p>\n<p>It turns out S&amp;P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&amp;P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.</p>\n<p>But knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.</p>\n<h3>Know The Reality In Inflation Numbers</h3>\n<p>It's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&amp;P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>Know, too, simply owning the S&amp;P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before. These sectors hold small weights in the S&amp;P 500. Energy holds just a 2.9% weight in the S&amp;P 500. Meanwhile, materials account for 2.9% and real estate 2.5%.

But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.</p>\n<p>It turns out S&amp;P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&amp;P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.</p>\n<p>But knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.</p>\n<h3>Know The Reality In Inflation Numbers</h3>\n<p>It's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s.

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.</p><p>\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"</p><p><b>COVID-19 boosted diverse customer base</b></p><p>As of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500. About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Those tremendous results made investors sit up and take notice.</p>\n<p>Given her results in 2020, it's worth watching what Wood is buying -- even if some of those stocks may not exactly be your cup of tea. To further increase my chances of finding winning investments from among her picks, I look for companies that boast industry-leading positions, robust secular tailwinds, and large and growing total addressable markets.</p>\n<p>Three stocks Wood bought last week meet all of those lofty criteria.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bba4bdedb6fc0d1201a2ee137c8921bb\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Okta: The cutting edge of identity management</h2>\n<p>The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKW\">ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKW) focuses on companies that will benefit from broad technological trends including cloud computing, mobile communication, big data, and the Internet of Things. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for companies looking to make use of many of those technologies is the prevalence of hacking and unauthorized access that plagues the modern era. Ensuring that only those with the proper credentials can access critical networks is a big job, and <b>Okta</b> (NASDAQ:OKTA) is there to answer the call.</p>\n<p>The company is the leader in cloud-based identity management and authentication services. Okta manages access across any application, person, or device, and handles not only employees, but also serves as the gatekeeper allowing partners, contractors, and customers to access those systems they are authorized to use. Rather than simply connecting to a company's network, Okta integrates with more than 6,500 of the most-used enterprise software applications, including <b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;Web Services, <b>salesforce.com</b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b>, and <b>Microsoft</b> Office 365.</p>\n<p>Okta has been named the industry leader in its niche for seven years running by research company <b>Gartner</b>. It was also singled out by Forrester as a leader in the field for both its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and its Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem. These industry accolades help illustrate the value of Okta's offerings.</p>\n<p>If you need further evidence, look no further than its recent results. Okta's revenue increased 43% last year, while subscriptions climbed 44%. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- which represents revenue that is under contract but has not yet been recognized -- grew even faster, by 49%, which signals the trajectory of its future growth.</p>\n<p>With the acquisition of Auth0 last month, Okta expanded its addressable market from $55 billion to $80 billion. Considering that it generated revenue of just $835 million last year, even if the company only captures a small part of its total addressable market, the stock could grow several-fold from here.</p>\n<p>Wood only opened a position in Okta last week, so this could be the beginning of a long and lucrative association.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8b0c83b8a99bffdb138bb49c36053ae\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"356\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The Trade Desk: No cookies in its diet</h2>\n<p>Another trend that still has legs is the transition to digital advertising -- and more specifically, <i>programmatic</i> advertising. To ensure that it has exposure to this large and growing trend, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF is betting big on <b>The Trade Desk</b> (NASDAQ:TTD).</p>\n<p>Not only is the company the leading independent demand-side advertising platform, but it partners with the world's largest ad agencies rather than competing against them. This gives The Trade Desk a large and growing ecosystem in which to expand its market share.</p>\n<p>While the digital advertising industry is up in arms due to <b>Alphabet</b>'s announcement regarding the pending death of cookies and <b>Apple</b>'s moves to increase user privacy, The Trade Desk is uniquely positioned to sidestep most of the issues those changes will create.</p>\n<p>First, only about 8% of its advertising spend is reliant on Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), so the tech giant's plans to essentially kill it won't materially impact The Trade Desk's business. Second, and perhaps more importantly, The Trade Desk has long prepared for the demise of cookies. The company developed the Unified ID, an identifier that helps target ads, but doesn't contain any personally identifiable information, so it doesn't invade user privacy.</p>\n<p>The most important names in the industry use The Trade Desk's Unified ID, including Index Exchange, <b>Magnite</b>, <b>PubMatic</b>, OpenX, SpotX, <b>Criteo</b>, <b>LiveRamp</b>, and Neustar, just to name a few.</p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk grew revenue by 48% year over year -- its highest growth rate in nearly two years -- while net income nearly tripled. The company's total revenue last year hit $836 million, which pales in comparison to its total addressable market of $1 trillion annually in the coming decade.</p>\n<p>These factors no doubt led Wood to increase ARK Next Generation Internet ETF's position in The Trade Desk last week, bringing it to 2.28% of the total $5.27 billion funds under management, and making it the fund's 13th largest position.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8879046bbfe592f08b387aca6b54b4e0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Palantir Technologies: Finding needles in haystacks</h2>\n<p>The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKK) focuses on disruptive technology that could potentially change the way the world works, which is likely why it was attracted by <b>Palantir Technologies </b>(NYSE:PLTR). It can take years, sometimes decades, to develop the necessary tools to gather, consolidate, and analyze data trapped in silos. These problems have plagued enterprise companies and governments alike. While Palantir has been public for less than a year, it has been building its data mining and warehousing tools for nearly 20 years -- and it has an extensive tech pedigree.</p>\n<p>Palantir is the brainchild of Peter Thiel, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the co-founders of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b> (NASDAQ: PYPL), so disruptive technology is right up his alley. The company has been helping defense and intelligence agencies crunch data in the fight against terrorism for years, and has an impressive track record of capturing lucrative government contracts. But that's just the beginning. After honing its craft with the government, Palantir turned its sights to the enterprise market, helping to extract meaningful and actionable data for businesses.</p>\n<p>The company's software is exceedingly complex and requires an entire team of engineers to install. Once Palantir's platform is entrenched in a customer's systems, it's highly unlikely that a rival data miner would be able to come in and lure that client away, even if there were a competitor of Palantir's magnitude.</p>\n<p>The company grew revenue by 47% in 2020, winning a host of new and increasingly lucrative contracts along the way. The average annual revenue from the company's top 20 customers grew by 34%, while the number of those generating $1 million or more in revenue grew 32%. Additionally, the number of clients contributing $5 million or more grew 54%, while the number generating $10 million grew by 50%.</p>\n<p>Palantir's management estimates its total addressable market tops out at $119 billion annually across both its commercial and government segments. Given that the company generated revenue of just $1.1 billion in 2020, it clearly has ample opportunities for growth.</p>\n<p>Wood has gradually been building a position in Palantir. It's now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the top 25 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, with its stake amounting to 1.4% of its $17.68 billion funds under management.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d0fdf843d9d47d4facbb2b8f882495a\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Every rose has its thorns</h2>\n<p>Given the impressive results Wood racked up last year, it would almost seem like a no-brainer to follow her lead, but her noteworthy record notwithstanding, these stocks simply aren't for everyone.

Those tremendous results made investors sit up and take notice.\nGiven her results in 2020, it's worth watching what Wood is buying -- even if some of those stocks may not exactly be your cup of tea. To further increase my chances of finding winning investments from among her picks, I look for companies that boast industry-leading positions, robust secular tailwinds, and large and growing total addressable markets.\nThree stocks Wood bought last week meet all of those lofty criteria.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nOkta: The cutting edge of identity management\nThe ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEMKT:ARKW) focuses on companies that will benefit from broad technological trends including cloud computing, mobile communication, big data, and the Internet of Things. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for companies looking to make use of many of those technologies is the prevalence of hacking and unauthorized access that plagues the modern era. Ensuring that only those with the proper credentials can access critical networks is a big job, and Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA) is there to answer the call.\nThe company is the leader in cloud-based identity management and authentication services. Okta manages access across any application, person, or device, and handles not only employees, but also serves as the gatekeeper allowing partners, contractors, and customers to access those systems they are authorized to use. Rather than simply connecting to a company's network, Okta integrates with more than 6,500 of the most-used enterprise software applications, including Amazon Web Services, salesforce.com, Zoom Video Communications, and Microsoft Office 365.\nOkta has been named the industry leader in its niche for seven years running by research company Gartner. It was also singled out by Forrester as a leader in the field for both its Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and its Zero Trust eXtended Ecosystem. These industry accolades help illustrate the value of Okta's offerings.\nIf you need further evidence, look no further than its recent results. Okta's revenue increased 43% last year, while subscriptions climbed 44%. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- which represents revenue that is under contract but has not yet been recognized -- grew even faster, by 49%, which signals the trajectory of its future growth.\nWith the acquisition of Auth0 last month, Okta expanded its addressable market from $55 billion to $80 billion. Considering that it generated revenue of just $835 million last year, even if the company only captures a small part of its total addressable market, the stock could grow several-fold from here.\nWood only opened a position in Okta last week, so this could be the beginning of a long and lucrative association.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe Trade Desk: No cookies in its diet\nAnother trend that still has legs is the transition to digital advertising -- and more specifically, programmatic advertising. To ensure that it has exposure to this large and growing trend, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF is betting big on The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD).\nNot only is the company the leading independent demand-side advertising platform, but it partners with the world's largest ad agencies rather than competing against them. This gives The Trade Desk a large and growing ecosystem in which to expand its market share.\nWhile the digital advertising industry is up in arms due to Alphabet's announcement regarding the pending death of cookies and Apple's moves to increase user privacy, The Trade Desk is uniquely positioned to sidestep most of the issues those changes will create.\nFirst, only about 8% of its advertising spend is reliant on Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), so the tech giant's plans to essentially kill it won't materially impact The Trade Desk's business. Second, and perhaps more importantly, The Trade Desk has long prepared for the demise of cookies. The company developed the Unified ID, an identifier that helps target ads, but doesn't contain any personally identifiable information, so it doesn't invade user privacy.\nThe most important names in the industry use The Trade Desk's Unified ID, including Index Exchange, Magnite, PubMatic, OpenX, SpotX, Criteo, LiveRamp, and Neustar, just to name a few.\nIn the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk grew revenue by 48% year over year -- its highest growth rate in nearly two years -- while net income nearly tripled. The company's total revenue last year hit $836 million, which pales in comparison to its total addressable market of $1 trillion annually in the coming decade.\nThese factors no doubt led Wood to increase ARK Next Generation Internet ETF's position in The Trade Desk last week, bringing it to 2.28% of the total $5.27 billion funds under management, and making it the fund's 13th largest position.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPalantir Technologies: Finding needles in haystacks\nThe ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEMKT:ARKK) focuses on disruptive technology that could potentially change the way the world works, which is likely why it was attracted by Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR). It can take years, sometimes decades, to develop the necessary tools to gather, consolidate, and analyze data trapped in silos. These problems have plagued enterprise companies and governments alike. While Palantir has been public for less than a year, it has been building its data mining and warehousing tools for nearly 20 years -- and it has an extensive tech pedigree.\nPalantir is the brainchild of Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), so disruptive technology is right up his alley. The company has been helping defense and intelligence agencies crunch data in the fight against terrorism for years, and has an impressive track record of capturing lucrative government contracts. But that's just the beginning. After honing its craft with the government, Palantir turned its sights to the enterprise market, helping to extract meaningful and actionable data for businesses.\nThe company's software is exceedingly complex and requires an entire team of engineers to install. Once Palantir's platform is entrenched in a customer's systems, it's highly unlikely that a rival data miner would be able to come in and lure that client away, even if there were a competitor of Palantir's magnitude.\nThe company grew revenue by 47% in 2020, winning a host of new and increasingly lucrative contracts along the way. The average annual revenue from the company's top 20 customers grew by 34%, while the number of those generating $1 million or more in revenue grew 32%. Additionally, the number of clients contributing $5 million or more grew 54%, while the number generating $10 million grew by 50%.\nPalantir's management estimates its total addressable market tops out at $119 billion annually across both its commercial and government segments. Given that the company generated revenue of just $1.1 billion in 2020, it clearly has ample opportunities for growth.\nWood has gradually been building a position in Palantir. It's now one of the top 25 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, with its stake amounting to 1.4% of its $17.68 billion funds under management.\nData by YCharts\nEvery rose has its thorns\nGiven the impressive results Wood racked up last year, it would almost seem like a no-brainer to follow her lead, but her noteworthy record notwithstanding, these stocks simply aren't for everyone. In terms of traditional valuation metrics, they certainly aren't cheap. The Trade Desk, Okta, and Palantir are selling at price-to-sales ratios of 41, 37, and 25, respectively -- when a good price-to-sales ratio for a stock is generally between 1 and 2.\nThat said, these industry-leading companies have plenty going for them, including robust tailwinds and massive market opportunities. Additionally, The Trade Desk and Okta gained 230% and 90%, respectively, over the past year, and Palantir is up by 145% since it debuted on Sept. 30.\nFor investors who can stomach volatility and have an appetite for a little additional risk, Wood's recent purchases could be just the ticket.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":340,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":378197844,"gmtCreate":1619008878488,"gmtModify":1704718205920,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378197844","repostId":"2129829074","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129829074","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1618979520,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129829074?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-21 12:32","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"UiPath IPO: 5 things to know about the 'software robots' company valued at nearly $30 billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129829074","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"UiPath increased customers by 33% during pandemic by making automation software that is marketed toward employees without software-development knowledge or experience.UiPath Inc. is launching its initial public offering at a valuation close to what it received from venture-capital investors, with help from automation it cheerfully calls \"software robots.\".

It's expected to begin trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"PATH.\"</p><p>UiPath originally filed for its IPO on March 26   have opted for a direct listing instead.</p><p>The New York-based company originally said it was registering up to 24.5 million shares, at a range of $43 to $50 a share, to raise up to $1.22 billion. On Monday, it hiked the range to between $52 and $54 a share  and increased the number of shares it planned to offer.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, J.P. Morgan, B of A Securities, Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Wells Fargo Securities are among the underwriters.</p><p><b>Here are five things to know about UiPath:</b></p><p><b>The 'humble' company notes rapid expansion</b></p><p>In the S-1, UiPath Chief Executive, Chairman and co-founder Daniel Dines wrote about his company having \"humility\" as a core value, in that it allows its developers to listen and adapt quickly to the needs of the customer. Founded in Bucharest, Romania, in 2005, the company was incorporated in Delaware six years ago after working its way up from \"10 people in an apartment in Romania,\" Dines wrote.</p><p>\"We went against the rules of perfecting the business model first in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> territory, and instead we rapidly expanded globally to the United States, Europe, and Asia simultaneously,\" the CEO wrote in a letter.</p><p>At a current annualized renewal run rate, or ARR, of $580 million, UiPath bills itself as \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing modern enterprise software companies ever.\" ARR is a metric often used by software-as-a-service companies to show how much revenue the company can expect based on subscriptions.</p><p>While UiPath notes International Data Corp. sees the automation software market at $17 billion in 2020, with an expected rise to $30 billion by 2024, the company said its \"fully automated enterprise\" software gives it a current market opportunity of more than $60 billion.</p><p><b>CEO holds most of the cards</b></p><p>Since 2015, UiPath has raised about $2 billion in eight funding rounds, according to Crunchbase. That funding doesn't appear to have bought much voting power in the company, though.</p><p>UiPath's Class B shares carry 35 votes, while Class A shares -- being offered in the IPO -- carry one vote. The S-1 filing revealed that CEO Dines holds 100% of the Class B shares and 6.5% of the Class A shares, for 88.1% of the voting power.</p><p>The only entity that comes close to that is venture-capital firm Accel, which began building its stake in 2017, and now claims about 101 million Class A shares, or 24% of those shares, for 3.1% of the voting power. Earlybird Management, with 9.5% of Class A shares, commands 1.2% of the votes.</p><p><b>The company has reined in expenses</b></p><p>For the fiscal year 2021 ended Jan. 30, the company booked $607.6 million in revenue for a loss of $92.4 million, compared with $336.2 million in revenue for a loss of $519.9 million in fiscal 2020. In 2018, UiPath reported fiscal 2019 revenue of $148.5 million and a loss of $261.6 million.</p><p>As revenue rose 81% for fiscal 2021, UiPath reduced sales and marketing costs by 21%, research and development costs by 16%, and general and administrative expenses by 10%.</p><p><b>No specific plans for the funds</b></p><p>If underwriters exercise all option for shares in the offering, UiPath expects to bring in net proceeds of about $1.34 billion, based on a $56 stock price. With about $357.7 million in ready cash on the books as of Jan. 31, the company isn't earmarking raised capital for any specific use.</p><p>\"As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering,\" the company said in its April 19 filing. \"However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\"</p><p><b>COVID-19 boosted diverse customer base</b></p><p>As of Jan. 31, the company claimed having nearly 8,000 customers, with 63% of the those in the Fortune Global 500. About 1,000 of those customers account for more than $100,000 in ARR apiece, UiPath said. The company highlighted such customers as Adobe Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">$(ADBE)$</a>, Applied Materials Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">$(AMAT)$</a>, Chevron Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">$(CVX)$</a>, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">$(CMG)$</a>, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">$(CRWD)$</a>, CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">$(CVS)$</a> and Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>.</p><p>That's compared with the 700-or-so customers the company claimed in 2018.</p><p>The company's current customer base is spread out enough where one customer can't upset revenue significantly.  \"No customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year-ended January 31, 2021,\" according to the S-1.</p><p>Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic helped. On Jan. 31, 2020, the company said it had about 6,000 customers, so during the year of the pandemic alone, UiPath grew its number of customers by 33%.</p><p>\"As the pandemic persisted, global demand for automation continued to accelerate as automation became essential for business execution and performance in a remote working environment,\" UiPath said.</p><p>\"While the pandemic may have accelerated the adoption of automation, the need for organizations to address extraordinary cost pressures, preserve and grow revenue, and adapt to ever-evolving end-customer needs illustrates the durability of the demand for digital transformation and the resilience and power of automation in even the most challenging times,\" according to the company.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.</p>\n<p>It turns out S&amp;P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&amp;P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.</p>\n<p>But knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.</p>\n<h3>Know The Reality In Inflation Numbers</h3>\n<p>It's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&amp;P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>Know, too, simply owning the S&amp;P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before. These sectors hold small weights in the S&amp;P 500. Energy holds just a 2.9% weight in the S&amp;P 500. Meanwhile, materials account for 2.9% and real estate 2.5%. ETFs can fill in the gaps.</p>\n<p>ETFs and exchange-traded notes, too, can offer inflation protection. The $60 billion in assets SPDR Gold Trust moves with the price of gold. The $3 billion in assets United States Oil Fund tracks the price of crude oil. And the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> TIPS Bond ETF tracks U.S. Treasuries, adjusted for inflation.</p>\n<p>But just know inflation, alone, doesn't determine S&amp;P 500 returns. \"Inflation is just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> input into equity prices and returns, and on its own it explains very little about how stocks will do over the longer term,\" Colas says.</p>\n<h3>Top S&amp;P 500 Stocks In The 1970s</h3>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Symbol</th>\n   <th>70's % ch.</th>\n   <th>Stock YTD % ch.</th>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Nucor</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>2,830.3%</td>\n   <td>89.5%</td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>99</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Schlumberger</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>1,031.7%</td>\n   <td>45.5%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>72</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Baker Hughes</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>856.4%</td>\n   <td>16.8%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>78</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Archer Daniels Midland</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>742.5%</td>\n   <td>33.2%</td>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>90</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Teleflex</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>597.3%</td>\n   <td>-4.7%</td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>General Dynamics</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>445.0%</td>\n   <td>28.5%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>65</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Boeing</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>440.0%</td>\n   <td>4.0%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>35</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HFC\">HollyFrontier</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>427.3%</td>\n   <td>31.1%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>42</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Halliburton</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>417.8%</td>\n   <td>18.4%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>63</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Tyler Technologies</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>347.3%</td>\n   <td>-11.3%</td>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Sources: IBD, S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</h5>","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>Afraid Of Inflation?

It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s.

Stocks might have taken a back seat to housing, oil, gold, or other assets for brief periods of time over the past century, but they've delivered the highest consistent returns of any investment vehicle.</p><p>That is until cryptocurrencies came along a little over a decade ago.</p><p>The emergence of <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC), <b>Ethereum</b> (CRYPTO:ETH), <b>Dogecoin</b> (CRYPTO:DOGE), and a host of other digital currencies have paved the way for once-in-a-lifetime gains. For instance, a $155 investment in Bitcoin at $1 would have been worth over $1 million when it hit $64,800 a token in mid-April.</p><p>But over the past two weeks, cryptocurrencies have fallen off a cliff. Some would call this a natural pullback after a monstrous run higher. I have a different name for it: a popping bubble.</p><p>While there is no shortage of enthusiasts who believe digital currencies are the greatest thing since sliced bread, I believe the crypto market is imploding for 10 very good reasons.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08bd510be5ae746f0867c5de1184417a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"464\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>1. There's very minimal real-world utility</p><p>One of the biggest drawbacks of digital currency is that it's virtually useless outside a cryptocurrency exchange. Although we've seen a small number of high-profile companies or organizations accept Bitcoin or Dogecoin, the reality is that the total number of businesses accepting either is microscopic. Approximately 1,300 businesses globally have chosen to accept Dogecoin after eight years, while Fundera found that 15,174 businesses accept Bitcoin, as of December 2020. For some context here, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide.</p><p>2. Valuations, relative to transaction data, made no sense</p><p>Even though valuation is somewhat subjective, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> glance at transaction data for the three most popular cryptocurrencies, relative to payment processing juggernauts such as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b> (NYSE:V) and <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA), would leave anyone's jaw on the floor.</p><p>The latest Nilson report found that 1.01 billion credit transactions were processed daily in 2018, 700 million of which were handled by Visa and Mastercard. By comparison, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are processing in the neighborhood of 300,000, 1.4 million, and 50,000 respective transactions on their blockchains each day. All the major cryptos combined can't hold a candle to the processing potential of Visa or Mastercard, yet the Big Three of crypto have a higher combined market value than Visa and Mastercard. That makes no sense.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce89a01a16c15dafb27017a6a42cedc3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>3. Businesses have been slow to adopt blockchain</p><p>On paper, blockchain sounds great. On the financial side of the equation, it's a way to expedite the validation and settlement of payments. Rather than waiting up to a week for cross-border payments to settle, they could be resolved in mere seconds or minutes. Blockchain also has nonfinancial applications. Ethereum's smart contract-driven blockchain might be the key to one day unlocking supply chain bottlenecks.</p><p>However, what sounds great on paper doesn't always translate into real-world success. Blockchain continues to suffer from a Catch-22. Businesses won't adopt it till the technology is proven on a broad scale, but no businesses will abandon their existing (and proven) infrastructure to effectively be the guinea pig. Until blockchain matures, big business will keep its distance.</p><p>4. There's virtually no barrier to entry</p><p>Aside from minimal utility, my biggest personal gripe with crypto is there's no barrier to entry. Anyone with the time to code can develop a blockchain and, potentially, a tethered token. According to CoinMarketCap, there are almost 10,000 different cryptocurrencies in its system. While many aren't trading much, if at all, that's an insane number of potential competitors to Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, with the likelihood of many more to come.</p><p>In short, the crypto space is constantly being diluted by an unlimited amount of competition.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614d7f34734e33d740f7f9c02ed3f8fd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>5. Centralization remains a problem</p><p>One of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.</p><p>6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstrings</p><p>Another reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk.</p><p>At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.</p><p>The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c7f03bc8a60bee0f293f0582f185505\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>7. Not all governments are OK with crypto</p><p>The crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.</p><p>And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.</p><p>8. There are no identifiable real-world correlations</p><p>Yet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.</p><p>For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.</p><p>Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b04ade705354c4825038c4dfcd0187d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>9. Leverage is haunting the crypto market</p><p>The cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.</p><p>According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.</p><p>10. Investors always overhype new tech</p><p>Finally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.</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>10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting</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\">\n10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-25 11:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/24/10-reasons-the-cryptocurrency-bubble-is-bursting/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"For more than 100 years, the stock market has been one of the greatest wealth creators in this country.

Valuations, relative to transaction data, made no senseEven though valuation is somewhat subjective, one glance at transaction data for the three most popular cryptocurrencies, relative to payment processing juggernauts such as Visa (NYSE:V) and Mastercard (NYSE:MA), would leave anyone's jaw on the floor.The latest Nilson report found that 1.01 billion credit transactions were processed daily in 2018, 700 million of which were handled by Visa and Mastercard. By comparison, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are processing in the neighborhood of 300,000, 1.4 million, and 50,000 respective transactions on their blockchains each day. All the major cryptos combined can't hold a candle to the processing potential of Visa or Mastercard, yet the Big Three of crypto have a higher combined market value than Visa and Mastercard. That makes no sense.Image source: Getty Images.3. Businesses have been slow to adopt blockchainOn paper, blockchain sounds great. On the financial side of the equation, it's a way to expedite the validation and settlement of payments. Rather than waiting up to a week for cross-border payments to settle, they could be resolved in mere seconds or minutes. Blockchain also has nonfinancial applications. Ethereum's smart contract-driven blockchain might be the key to one day unlocking supply chain bottlenecks.However, what sounds great on paper doesn't always translate into real-world success. Blockchain continues to suffer from a Catch-22. Businesses won't adopt it till the technology is proven on a broad scale, but no businesses will abandon their existing (and proven) infrastructure to effectively be the guinea pig. Until blockchain matures, big business will keep its distance.4. There's virtually no barrier to entryAside from minimal utility, my biggest personal gripe with crypto is there's no barrier to entry. Anyone with the time to code can develop a blockchain and, potentially, a tethered token. According to CoinMarketCap, there are almost 10,000 different cryptocurrencies in its system. While many aren't trading much, if at all, that's an insane number of potential competitors to Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, with the likelihood of many more to come.In short, the crypto space is constantly being diluted by an unlimited amount of competition.Image source: Getty Images.5. Centralization remains a problemOne of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstringsAnother reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.Image source: Getty Images.7. Not all governments are OK with cryptoThe crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.8. There are no identifiable real-world correlationsYet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.Image source: Getty Images.9. Leverage is haunting the crypto marketThe cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.10. Investors always overhype new techFinally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":767,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139317533,"gmtCreate":1621592122522,"gmtModify":1704360195760,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh no","listText":"Oh no","text":"Oh no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139317533","repostId":"2137903089","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137903089","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":1621586627,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137903089?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 16:43","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Hong Kong to restrict crypto exchanges to professional investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137903089","media":"Reuters","summary":"HONG KONG, May 21 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Hong Kong will have to be licenc","content":"<p>HONG KONG, May 21 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Hong Kong will have to be licenced by the city's markets regulator and will only be allowed to provide services to professional investors, according to government proposals to be presented later this year.</p><p>Hong Kong's Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, which has been consulting the market on changes to rules for crypto exchanges since last year, intends to table the legislation in the upcoming 2021-22 session of the city's legislative assembly, it said in a statement on Friday.</p><p>Governments and financial regulators around the world are still assessing whether and how they should regulate the cryptocurrency industry.

She noted that as highly volatile sectors in the stock market are selling off amid inflation fears, Bitcoin is dropping as well. It last traded just below $38,000.\n“We go through soul searching times like this and scrape the models, and yes our conviction is just as high,” she said.\nAlthough Elon Musk has soured on Bitcoin due to its environmental impact, Wood said once renewables are incorporated into the Bitcoin mining technology, like she expects, “Elon will come back and be part of that ecosystem.”\nMusk’s quick change in opinion on the largest cryptocurrency may have been caused by pushback from institutional shareholders like BlackRock, she said.\nDespite her long-term conviction, Bitcoin and other digital coins may face more pain before mounting a comeback.\n“You never know how low is low when a market gets very emotional,” she said. “I think we’re in a capitulation phase. That’s a really great time to buy no matter what the asset is.”\nWood has consistently loaded up on shares of Coinbase Global Inc. in the past two weeks as the cryptocurrency exchange has dipped below its April direct listing reference price and to a record low on Wednesday.\nIn the interview, Wood also addressed the prospects for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund to be approved in the U.S. this year, which appears to some less likely after a string of comments from regulators. Wood thinks the latest plunge could be a good thing for the prospects of approval. “The odds are going up now that we have had this correction,” she said.\nAlthough her funds have taken a hit this year, with her flagship Ark Innovation ETF down more than 34% from its high in February, the firm’s product line-up hasn’t yet faced a monthly outflow, she said.\n“There were a lot of commentators out there, shall I say, screaming about how our ETFs would have to shut down, which is impossible,” she said.\nIn fact, the move toward value sectors that’s caused her funds to suffer is encouraging to her.\n“The forces that the coronavirus put in motion supporting all of the innovation in which we invest, they’re not looking back,” she said. “We’re looking at this saying: Alright, on sale. Innovation is on sale. Oh and by the way, the bull market had broadened out.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":573,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190889154,"gmtCreate":1620610889578,"gmtModify":1704345449043,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/190889154","repostId":"1185146568","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":186650147,"gmtCreate":1623494892289,"gmtModify":1704205094604,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Investor n trader","listText":"Investor n trader","text":"Investor n trader","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/186650147","repostId":"1147474880","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147474880","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623470168,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147474880?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-12 11:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Investor, Trader, Speculator: Which One Are You?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147474880","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Understanding the difference between speculation and investing is essential to avoiding reckless ris","content":"<blockquote>\n Understanding the difference between speculation and investing is essential to avoiding reckless risk.\n</blockquote>\n<p>I’ve had it.</p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal is wrong, and has remained wrong for decades, about one of the most basic distinctions in finance.

She appears to be reading it with her eyes closed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197960988,"gmtCreate":1621420279044,"gmtModify":1704357322973,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to know","listText":"Good to know","text":"Good to know","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197960988","repostId":"1126891253","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126891253","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1621404438,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126891253?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 14:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Oat Milk Company Oatly to IPO -- Here's What Investors Need to Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126891253","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The largest oat milk company in the world, Oatly, could be going public this weekon Thursday.The Swedish firm is know for its dairy-alternative products made from oats.

Made from a variety of yellow peas, Wunda is higher in protein than oat milk. Some nutritionists have said that oat milk and other dairy alternatives are a poor substitute for cow’s milk because they don’t have nearly as much protein.</p><p>Stefan Palzer, the chief technology officer at Nestlé, took issue with those who say a big company can’t move as fast as a bunch of Swedish foodies.

The company says it “focused on targeting coffee’s tastemakers, professional baristas at independent coffee shops” as a way to enter the market.”By December 31, 2020, Oatly was in more than 7,500 retail shops and 10,000 coffee shops in the U.S. Revenue in 2020 totaled $100 million in the U.S.Oatly can also be found in 11,000 coffee and tea shops in China, and at more than 6,000 retail and specialty shops across the country, including thousands of Starbucks locations.Loss of WarningIn 2020, Oatly had revenue of $421.4 million, up from $204.0 million the year before. However, the company reported a loss of $60.4 million “reflecting our continued investment in production, brand awareness, new markets and product development,” the prospectus said.Oatly is classified as an “emerging growth company,” which means it does not have to make the same disclosures required of bigger public companies. A business remains an emerging growth company until it reaches a number of milestones, including annual revenue of more than $1.07 billion.Oatly warns that it has reported losses over the last “several” years and expects operating and capital expenses to rise “substantially.”“Our expansion efforts may take longer or prove more expensive than we anticipate, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue and margins sufficiently to offset the anticipated higher expenses,” the company said in its prospectus.“We incur significant expenses in researching and developing our innovative products, building out our production and manufacturing facilities, obtaining and storing ingredients and other products and marketing the products we offer.”The dairy market is highly competitiveOatly acknowledged in its offering documents that it faces fierce competition, including from “multinational corporations with substantially greater resources and operations than us.”That would include British consumer goods maker Unilever, which said last year that it aims to generate revenue of one billion euros, or $1.2 billion, by 2027 from plant-based substitutes for meat and dairy, for example Hellmann’s vegan mayonnaise or Ben & Jerry’s dairy-free ice cream. Unilever has not announced plans for a milk substitute.Some industry analysts argue that Oatly’s size gives it an edge over these giants, allowing it to be more innovative than a corporate behemoth. Food start-ups are “younger and faster,” said Patrick Müller-Sarmiento, head of the consumer goods and retail practice at Roland Berger, a German consulting firm.The established food giants also have a tougher time than newcomers convincing consumers that they are sincere about saving the planet, an important part of the oat milk sales pitch.Mr. Müller-Sarmiento, the former chief executive of Real, a German chain of big box stores, said meat and dairy alternatives are not having trouble competing with Big Food for precious retail shelf space. “Retailers are urgently looking for new products,” he said.Time was when Nestlé or Unilever would have simply acquired Oatly, just as they have gobbled up hundreds of other brands. But they would have trouble justifying the audacious $10 billion price that Oatly has set as the benchmark for its stock offering.Nestlé’s answer was to develop its own milk substitute, Wunda, which the company unveiled this month and plans to sell initially in France, Portugal and the Netherlands. Made from a variety of yellow peas, Wunda is higher in protein than oat milk. Some nutritionists have said that oat milk and other dairy alternatives are a poor substitute for cow’s milk because they don’t have nearly as much protein.Stefan Palzer, the chief technology officer at Nestlé, took issue with those who say a big company can’t move as fast as a bunch of Swedish foodies. A young team at Nestlé developed Wunda in nine months, including three months of market testing in Britain, Mr. Palzer said in an interview.Nestlé was able to adapt existing production facilities to make Wunda, rather than building new factories like Oatly must do. The company already had plant scientists who could identify the best kind of pea and food safety experts who could navigate the regulatory approval process, Mr. Palzer said.The Wunda developers “could have any expert they wanted to have on the project,” Mr. Palzer said. “That enabled them to move at this speed.”Nestlé already has dairy-free versions of Nesquik drinks and Häagen-Dazs ice cream and sells coffee creamers made from a blend of oat and almond milk using the Starbucks brand. The company is in a major push to develop substitutes for almost any kind of animal product. The next frontier: fish. Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":528,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150107058,"gmtCreate":1624888907174,"gmtModify":1703847148877,"author":{"id":"3581506923313656","authorId":"3581506923313656","name":"Dssummer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31c26a502ede10afc1923497baf7e7f7","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581506923313656","authorIdStr":"3581506923313656"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150107058","repostId":"1103992527","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103992527","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624873176,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103992527?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 17:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Golden Retirement","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103992527","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growi","content":"<p>These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growing return on investment</p>\n<p>The last thing any retiree would want to do is to sit around and fret about their portfolio.

Now looks like a good time to buy a few growth stocks with great potential.","content":"<p>If you're a tech investor, you've probably seen some red in your portfolio recently. Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.</p>\n<p>Instead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, <b>Cloudflare</b> (NYSE:NET) and <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.</p>\n<h2>1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing</h2>\n<p>Cloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17%&nbsp;of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e55778fa4732da24b1a14ed4fcaafa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Traditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach&nbsp;to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.</p>\n<p>In 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem.

Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.\nInstead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.\n1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing\nCloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17% of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTraditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.\nIn 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.\nMoreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.\nBeyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.\nIn total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing much faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\n49,309\n119,206\n31%\n\n\nRevenue\n$135 million\n$478 million\n48%\n\n\n\nData source: Cloudflare SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nGoing forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like Akamai and public cloud titans like Amazon Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.\n2. Shopify: E-commerce\nCreating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer.
