Not only can it impact ","content":"<p>For most investors, how much a stock's price changes over time is important. Not only can it impact your investment portfolio, but it can also help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.</p>\n<p>Another thing that can drive investing is the fear of missing out, or FOMO. This particularly applies to tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.</p>\n<p>What if you'd invested in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Motors</a> (TSLA) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to TSLA for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?</p>\n<p><b>Tesla's Business In-Depth</b></p>\n<p>With that in mind, let's take a look at Tesla's main business drivers.</p>\n<p>Over the years, EV maker Tesla has evolved into a dynamic technology innovator. It has transformed the EV market much the same way as Amazon changed the retail landscape and Netflix revolutionized entertainment. Tesla is the market leader in battery-powered electric car sales in the United States, owning around 60% of market share. In fact, the company’s flagship Model 3 accounts for about half of the U.S. EV market. Tesla, which has managed to garner the reputation of a gold standard over the years, is now a far bigger entity that what it started off since its IPO in 2010, with a market capitalization almost double the combined value of top two U.S. auto giants General Motors and Ford.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Tesla has shifted from developing niche products for affluent buyers to making more affordable EVs for the masses. The firm’s three-pronged business model approach of direct sales, servicing, and charging its EVs sets it apart from other carmakers. Tesla, which is touted as the clean energy revolutionary automaker, is much more than just a car manufacturer. The firm also makes different kinds of technology like self driving software, charging stations and battery development, et al. The technology titan has also made inroads into solar and energy storage business.</p>\n<p>Tesla operates under two segments: Automotive and Energy Generation &amp; Storage. While Automotive and Energy Generation/Storage operations accounted for 86.4% and 6.3% of the total sales in 2020, respectively, revenues from Services and Others constituted the rest.</p>\n<p>Presently, the company produces and sells three fully electric vehicles: The Model S sedan, the Model X sport utility vehicle (“SUV”) and the Model 3 sedan. Tesla’s equally impressive future product lineup includes Cybertruck, Semi truck and Roadster. The firm manufactures its vehicles primarily at facilities located in Fremont, California, Lathrop, California, Tilburg, Netherlands. Tesla’s first, second and third Gigafactory are located in Nevada, New York and Shanghai, respectively. While production in these three factories are going on a full swing, production from Tesla's 4th and 5th&nbsp; Gigafactory in Berlin and Austin, respectively, is expected to begin this year.</p>\n<p><b>Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>Anyone can invest, but building a successful investment portfolio requires research, patience, and a little bit of risk. So, if you had invested in Tesla ten years ago, you're likely feeling pretty good about your investment today.</p>\n<p>According to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in August 2011 would be worth $148,405.95, or a 14,740.59% gain, as of August 25, 2021. Investors should keep in mind that this return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 rose 280.96% and the price of gold increased -2.15% over the same time frame in comparison.</p>\n<p>Analysts are anticipating more upside for TSLA.</p>\n<p>Tesla hit a milestone in second-quarter 2021, with quarterly profits topping $1 billion for the first time. Riding on robust Model 3/Y demand, the electric vehicle (EV) behemoth achieved record production and deliveries despite chip crunch. Construction of Berlin and Texas gigafactories are well on track, with production expected to commence this year. While Tesla’s high range vehicles, superior technology and software edge bode well, it is far from immune to the global microchip deficit, which is likely to weigh on the firm’s near-term prospects. Massive capex owing to capacity investments in gigafactories and the development of battery tech might strain near-term financials.

Not only can it impact your investment portfolio, but it can also help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.\nAnother thing that can drive investing is the fear of missing out, or FOMO. This particularly applies to tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.\nWhat if you'd invested in Tesla Motors (TSLA) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to TSLA for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?\nTesla's Business In-Depth\nWith that in mind, let's take a look at Tesla's main business drivers.\nOver the years, EV maker Tesla has evolved into a dynamic technology innovator. It has transformed the EV market much the same way as Amazon changed the retail landscape and Netflix revolutionized entertainment. Tesla is the market leader in battery-powered electric car sales in the United States, owning around 60% of market share. In fact, the company’s flagship Model 3 accounts for about half of the U.S. EV market. Tesla, which has managed to garner the reputation of a gold standard over the years, is now a far bigger entity that what it started off since its IPO in 2010, with a market capitalization almost double the combined value of top two U.S. auto giants General Motors and Ford.\nOver the years, Tesla has shifted from developing niche products for affluent buyers to making more affordable EVs for the masses. The firm’s three-pronged business model approach of direct sales, servicing, and charging its EVs sets it apart from other carmakers. Tesla, which is touted as the clean energy revolutionary automaker, is much more than just a car manufacturer. The firm also makes different kinds of technology like self driving software, charging stations and battery development, et al. The technology titan has also made inroads into solar and energy storage business.\nTesla operates under two segments: Automotive and Energy Generation & Storage. While Automotive and Energy Generation/Storage operations accounted for 86.4% and 6.3% of the total sales in 2020, respectively, revenues from Services and Others constituted the rest.\nPresently, the company produces and sells three fully electric vehicles: The Model S sedan, the Model X sport utility vehicle (“SUV”) and the Model 3 sedan. Tesla’s equally impressive future product lineup includes Cybertruck, Semi truck and Roadster. The firm manufactures its vehicles primarily at facilities located in Fremont, California, Lathrop, California, Tilburg, Netherlands. Tesla’s first, second and third Gigafactory are located in Nevada, New York and Shanghai, respectively. While production in these three factories are going on a full swing, production from Tesla's 4th and 5th  Gigafactory in Berlin and Austin, respectively, is expected to begin this year.\nBottom Line\nAnyone can invest, but building a successful investment portfolio requires research, patience, and a little bit of risk. So, if you had invested in Tesla ten years ago, you're likely feeling pretty good about your investment today.\nAccording to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in August 2011 would be worth $148,405.95, or a 14,740.59% gain, as of August 25, 2021. Investors should keep in mind that this return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.\nThe S&P 500 rose 280.96% and the price of gold increased -2.15% over the same time frame in comparison.\nAnalysts are anticipating more upside for TSLA.\nTesla hit a milestone in second-quarter 2021, with quarterly profits topping $1 billion for the first time. Riding on robust Model 3/Y demand, the electric vehicle (EV) behemoth achieved record production and deliveries despite chip crunch. Construction of Berlin and Texas gigafactories are well on track, with production expected to commence this year. While Tesla’s high range vehicles, superior technology and software edge bode well, it is far from immune to the global microchip deficit, which is likely to weigh on the firm’s near-term prospects. Massive capex owing to capacity investments in gigafactories and the development of battery tech might strain near-term financials. Waning margins for Model S/X, and delays in Semi and Cybertruck launch act as spoilsports. Thus, investors are recommended to wait for a better entry point.\nShares have gained 9.88% over the past four weeks and there have been 9 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2021 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814569098,"gmtCreate":1630845966214,"gmtModify":1676530404899,"author":{"id":"3581563058003710","authorId":"3581563058003710","name":"leeWT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49e0521f4fb5a74a66948df0eddb1c8b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581563058003710","authorIdStr":"3581563058003710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let's wait and see before vesting","listText":"Let's wait and see before vesting","text":"Let's wait and see before vesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/814569098","repostId":"1157895022","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1157895022","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630810619,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157895022?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-05 10:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Beat the market with this quant system that’s very bullish on stocks at record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157895022","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Vance Howard’s HCM Tactical Growth Fund moves you in and out of the stock market when prudent to do ","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Vance Howard’s HCM Tactical Growth Fund moves you in and out of the stock market when prudent to do so.

And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on “horse sense” — not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.</p>\n<p>Here are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #1: Don’t be emotional</b></p>\n<p>It’s no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.</p>\n<p>Likewise, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd — and crowd psychology — dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.</p>\n<p>To do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #2: Have a system and stick to it</b></p>\n<p>To exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.</p>\n<p>The HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&amp;P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.</p>\n<p>When the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.</p>\n<p>“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”</p>\n<p>Right now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)</p>\n<p>Your system also has to tell you when to get back in.</p>\n<p>“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.</p>\n<p>You don’t need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.</p>\n<p>“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”</p>\n<p>His system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #3: Don’t fight the tape</b></p>\n<p>This concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”</p>\n<p>“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”</p>\n<p>In other words, don’t try to be a hero.</p>\n<p>“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.</p>\n<p>Likewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #4: Keep it simple</b></p>\n<p>As you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesn’t even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.</p>\n<p>“You don’t have to trade crazy stuff,” he says. “You can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #5: How to trade the current market</b></p>\n<p>First, be long.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,” says Howard. “The market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon. We are buying pullbacks.”</p>\n<p>One bullish signal is all the cash on the sidelines. “If there is any relief in Covid, we may see a big rally. We may end up with a great fall [season].”</p>\n<p>Howard uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too. For sectors he favors the following.</p>\n<p>He likes health care, tradable through the iShares US HealthcareIYH,-0.04%and ProShares Ultra Health CareRXL,+0.12%ETFs. He’s turning more bullish on biotech, which he plays via the iShares Biotechnology ETFIBB,-0.11%.</p>\n<p>He likes consumer discretionary tradable through the iShares US Consumer ServicesIYC,-0.30%,and airlines via US Global JetsJETS,-1.17%.He also likes tech exposure via the Invesco QQQ TrustQQQ,+0.31%,iShares US TechnologyIYW,+0.50%and&nbsp;iShares SemiconductorSOXX,+0.75%.</p>\n<p>He likes small-caps via the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index FundVBK,+0.07%.And convertible bonds via SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible SecuritiesCWB,+0.64%and iShares Convertible BondICVT,+0.37%.</p>\n<p>As for individual names, he singles out MicrosoftMSFT,-0.00%and AppleAAPL,+0.42%in tech, as well as Amazon.comAMZN,+0.43%and TeslaTSLA,+0.16%.</p>\n<p>Also consider Howard’s two ETFs: The HCM Defender 100 IndexQQH,+0.62%and HCM Defender 500 IndexLGH,+1.32%.</p>\n<p>He prefers to add to holdings on 1%-3% dips.</p>\n<p><b>A few drawbacks</b></p>\n<p>His HCM Tactical Growth fund has a history of posting two-year stretches of underperformance of 1.5% to 8.8%, since it was launched in 2015. The fund then came roaring back to net the very positive five-year outperformance cited above. Investing in his system can require patience.</p>\n<p>Every manager, including Warren Buffett, can have a stretch of underperformance, says Howard.</p>\n<p>“We are in the odds game,” he says. “Even in the odds game, you can have a bad hand or two thrown at you.”</p>\n<p>Another challenge is the high turnover, which is 140% a year for Tactical Growth. This means Uncle Sam takes a big cut in the good years. So if you buy Howard’s funds, you may want to do so in a tax-protected account.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Beat the market with this quant system that’s very bullish on stocks at record highs</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBeat the market with this quant system that’s very bullish on stocks at record highs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-05 10:56 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/beat-the-market-with-this-quant-system-thats-very-bullish-on-stocks-at-record-highs-11630761531?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Vance Howard’s HCM Tactical Growth Fund moves you in and out of the stock market when prudent to do so.

Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.\nWhen the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.\n“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”\nRight now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)\nYour system also has to tell you when to get back in.\n“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.\nYou don’t need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.\n“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”\nHis system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.\n“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.\nLesson #3: Don’t fight the tape\nThis concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”\n“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”\nIn other words, don’t try to be a hero.\n“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.\nLikewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.\nLesson #4: Keep it simple\nAs you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesn’t even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.\n“You don’t have to trade crazy stuff,” he says. “You can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.”\nLesson #5: How to trade the current market\nFirst, be long.\n“The HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,” says Howard. “The market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon. We are buying pullbacks.”\nOne bullish signal is all the cash on the sidelines. “If there is any relief in Covid, we may see a big rally. We may end up with a great fall [season].”\nHoward uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too. For sectors he favors the following.\nHe likes health care, tradable through the iShares US HealthcareIYH,-0.04%and ProShares Ultra Health CareRXL,+0.12%ETFs. He’s turning more bullish on biotech, which he plays via the iShares Biotechnology ETFIBB,-0.11%.\nHe likes consumer discretionary tradable through the iShares US Consumer ServicesIYC,-0.30%,and airlines via US Global JetsJETS,-1.17%.He also likes tech exposure via the Invesco QQQ TrustQQQ,+0.31%,iShares US TechnologyIYW,+0.50%and iShares SemiconductorSOXX,+0.75%.\nHe likes small-caps via the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index FundVBK,+0.07%.And convertible bonds via SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible SecuritiesCWB,+0.64%and iShares Convertible BondICVT,+0.37%.\nAs for individual names, he singles out MicrosoftMSFT,-0.00%and AppleAAPL,+0.42%in tech, as well as Amazon.comAMZN,+0.43%and TeslaTSLA,+0.16%.\nAlso consider Howard’s two ETFs: The HCM Defender 100 IndexQQH,+0.62%and HCM Defender 500 IndexLGH,+1.32%.\nHe prefers to add to holdings on 1%-3% dips.\nA few drawbacks\nHis HCM Tactical Growth fund has a history of posting two-year stretches of underperformance of 1.5% to 8.8%, since it was launched in 2015. The fund then came roaring back to net the very positive five-year outperformance cited above. Investing in his system can require patience.\nEvery manager, including Warren Buffett, can have a stretch of underperformance, says Howard.\n“We are in the odds game,” he says. “Even in the odds game, you can have a bad hand or two thrown at you.”\nAnother challenge is the high turnover, which is 140% a year for Tactical Growth. This means Uncle Sam takes a big cut in the good years. So if you buy Howard’s funds, you may want to do so in a tax-protected account.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":811231278,"gmtCreate":1630325387294,"gmtModify":1676530268810,"author":{"id":"3581563058003710","authorId":"3581563058003710","name":"leeWT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49e0521f4fb5a74a66948df0eddb1c8b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581563058003710","authorIdStr":"3581563058003710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Resilient business","listText":"Resilient business","text":"Resilient business","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/811231278","repostId":"2163885972","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2163885972","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":1630324380,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2163885972?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-30 19:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Gap is going beyond hoodies and jeans, taking aim at the $326 billion markets for home, sleep and underwear","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2163885972","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Old Navy sets its sights on the $120 billion women's plus-size market after record second-quarter sa","content":"<p>Old Navy sets its sights on the $120 billion women's plus-size market after record second-quarter sales</p>\n<p>After a blow out second quarter, Gap Inc. is thinking about more than just hoodies and jeans going forward.</p>\n<p>\"As we study important trends in the market, like wellness and the homebody economy, we see a sizable future opportunity to compete in new categories,\" said Sonia Syngal, chief executive of Gap <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GPS\">$(GPS)$</a>, on the late Thursday earnings call, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>\"This shows up in product extensions like inclusive sizing [...] as well as home, intimates and sleep, which comprise a combined $326 billion in addressable markets.\"</p>\n<p>Net sales for the Gap Inc. were $4.2 billion, the highest second-quarter sales in more than a decade.</p>\n<p>Sales at Old Navy, which is part of a Gap Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GPS.AU\">$(GPS.AU)$</a> portfolio that also includes Athleta and Banana Republic, grew 21% over 2019, and comparable sales were up 18% from that year.</p>\n<p>Last week, Old Navy announced a size-inclusive shopping model called BodEquality.</p>\n<p>\"The average woman in the U.S. wears a size 16 to 18, so with very few competitors in the plus-size space, Old Navy is positioned to take a significant share of the $120 billion women's market,\" Syngal said.</p>\n<p>Back in May, Gap announced a partnership with licensing company IMG for a collection of home products that includes bedding and bath items.

She has used at least five more since to buy face cream, T-shirts and birthday gifts.</p>\n<p>Installment plans are back&nbsp;in style.PayPal Holdings&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;last week&nbsp;said it was buying Japanese installment payment startup&nbsp;Paidy Inc., following Square Inc.’s&nbsp;$29 billion deal&nbsp;for&nbsp;Afterpay&nbsp;Ltd.Macy’s&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bed Bath &amp; Beyond&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;have added the option at checkout over the past year. Even&nbsp;Amazon.com&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;is doing it.</p>\n<p>One reason: shoppers like Ms. Luedtke who don’t qualify for credit cards. Buy-now-pay-later companies say they rely less on—and in some cases bypass altogether—traditional credit scores and reports. Doing so allows them to approve more consumers. Shoppers gain the ability to buy things even without cash on hand—translating to higher sales for retailers.</p>\n<p>Afterpay said it expects the company’s U.S. merchants will see an $8.2 billion increase in sales this year because of payment plans.Affirm Holdings&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;last year said purchases made with its payment plans were 85% larger, on average.</p>\n<p>Shoppers spend more at Macy’s when they use installment plans offered through Klarna Bank AB, Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said on a recent earnings call. Klarna also is helping the retailer attract younger customers, he said.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40620bab35c446816da175fb2334c05e\" tg-width=\"435\" tg-height=\"562\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>“The value that most retailers see in buy now, pay later is customer acquisition,” said David Sykes, Klarna’s North America head.</p>\n<p>Ms. Luedtke, 26, has credit cards now but still prefers installment plans. Just last month, she used them to buy about $40 of Peter Thomas Roth skin-care products and $65 in clothing from Shein.</p>\n<p>“It definitely influences how much more I buy or would spend,” she said. “It’s easier to pay $200 over so many weeks compared to $200 right now.”</p>\n<p>Buy now, pay later is a new twist on an old idea. Big retailers have for decades offered installment plans for big-ticket items like washing machines. Today, these plans come in a variety of flavors. Afterpay offers payment plans that shoppers usually attach to their debit cards. Others, like Affirm, also facilitate new loans.</p>\n<p>Interest rates and other terms vary by payment-plan provider. Affirm interest rates range from 0% to 30%, with some 43% of its transactions during its last fiscal year not charging interest at all. The company doesn’t charge late fees.

She has used at least five more since to buy face cream, T-shirts and birthday gifts.\nInstallment plans are back in style.PayPal Holdings Inc. last week said it was buying Japanese installment payment startup Paidy Inc., following Square Inc.’s $29 billion deal for Afterpay Ltd.Macy’s Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. have added the option at checkout over the past year. Even Amazon.com Inc. is doing it.\nOne reason: shoppers like Ms. Luedtke who don’t qualify for credit cards. Buy-now-pay-later companies say they rely less on—and in some cases bypass altogether—traditional credit scores and reports. Doing so allows them to approve more consumers. Shoppers gain the ability to buy things even without cash on hand—translating to higher sales for retailers.\nAfterpay said it expects the company’s U.S. merchants will see an $8.2 billion increase in sales this year because of payment plans.Affirm Holdings Inc. last year said purchases made with its payment plans were 85% larger, on average.\nShoppers spend more at Macy’s when they use installment plans offered through Klarna Bank AB, Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said on a recent earnings call. Klarna also is helping the retailer attract younger customers, he said.\n\n“The value that most retailers see in buy now, pay later is customer acquisition,” said David Sykes, Klarna’s North America head.\nMs. Luedtke, 26, has credit cards now but still prefers installment plans. Just last month, she used them to buy about $40 of Peter Thomas Roth skin-care products and $65 in clothing from Shein.\n“It definitely influences how much more I buy or would spend,” she said. “It’s easier to pay $200 over so many weeks compared to $200 right now.”\nBuy now, pay later is a new twist on an old idea. Big retailers have for decades offered installment plans for big-ticket items like washing machines. Today, these plans come in a variety of flavors. Afterpay offers payment plans that shoppers usually attach to their debit cards. Others, like Affirm, also facilitate new loans.\nInterest rates and other terms vary by payment-plan provider. Affirm interest rates range from 0% to 30%, with some 43% of its transactions during its last fiscal year not charging interest at all. The company doesn’t charge late fees. Afterpay doesn’t charge interest but does collect late fees.\n\nMerchants take no credit risk with these plans, but the fees they incur can be higher than on credit-card purchases—often between 3% and 5% of the purchase price, according to people familiar with the matter.\nBuy-now-pay-later companies say they can approve more customers than banks, including people who have thin or no borrowing history. Some 53 million adults in the U.S. lack traditional credit scores, according to FICO score creator Fair Isaac Corp.Installment plans are safer, they say, because they are often smaller than credit-card spending limits and approved on a per-transaction basis.\nAffirm said that it had a net charge-off rate of 1% in the quarter ended June 30, down from 2% a year earlier. Afterpay said it wrote off 0.6% of the total dollars it processed in payments during the company’s fiscal year ended June 30, up from 0.4% the year prior.\nWorking with a web of retailers, buy-now-pay-later companies can create self-contained payment ecosystems. They factor payment behavior into future underwriting decisions. Customers who pay late or not at all risk losing the installment option at other participating retailers.\n“Most merchants want a partner who has real advantage and real ability to underwrite,” said Affirm CEO Max Levchin. “These are not deeper approvals, but they are different approvals.”\nAffirm facilitates new loans among other payment plans.\nAmazon and Walmart Inc. are both working with Affirm. Both have said they want their financial partners to extend credit to more of their customers.\nAmazon is reviewing proposals, as it weighs whether to replace its longtime card issuer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Amazon is looking for “commitments to underwrite competitively to widen the acquisition funnel,” the retailer said in a request for proposals reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.\nA desire to boost loan approvals was among the reasons Walmart in 2018 decided to end its decadeslong credit-card partnership with Synchrony Financial.(Capital One Financial Corp. now issues Walmart-branded credit cards.)

This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the company’s outlook is the high rate of change in consumer tastes and preferences, which can make it challenging and costly to react to changes in a compressed time period.\nAs for valuation, compared toa basketof publicly held Apparel companies complied by noted valuation expert Dr. Aswath Damodaran which as of January 2021 had an average EV/Sales multiple of 2.03x, AKA is seeking an EV/Revenue multiple of 5.03x.\nAKA is growing topline revenue sharply, in part due to its acquisition activities but its operating margin was 4.6% in the most recent six-month period versus the public basket of an average of 5.93%.\nSo AKA is growing quickly through acquisition but has a lower operating margin than its public peers.\nHowever, I favor DTC companies for things like apparel, as the firm can adjust its offering much faster and more accurately as a result of its direct relationship with customers.\nAlso, AKA’s mobile-first approach combined with DTC business model also positions the firm well for its target demographic of younger consumers.\nAlthough the IPO isn’t cheap, I believe AKA has significant room to grow and continue executing its business model approach, so the IPO is worth consideration.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882785400,"gmtCreate":1631721299300,"gmtModify":1676530619184,"author":{"id":"3581563058003710","authorId":"3581563058003710","name":"leeWT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49e0521f4fb5a74a66948df0eddb1c8b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581563058003710","authorIdStr":"3581563058003710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"She has the iron heart and cool mind to execute the decisions&nbsp;","listText":"She has the iron heart and cool mind to execute the decisions&nbsp;","text":"She has the iron heart and cool mind to execute the decisions","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882785400","repostId":"1125984951","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883359193,"gmtCreate":1631205466412,"gmtModify":1676530497186,"author":{"id":"3581563058003710","authorId":"3581563058003710","name":"leeWT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49e0521f4fb5a74a66948df0eddb1c8b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581563058003710","authorIdStr":"3581563058003710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will soar again&nbsp;","listText":"Will soar again&nbsp;","text":"Will soar again","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/883359193","repostId":"2166349857","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166349857","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":1631199360,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2166349857?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-09 22:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's a safer way to invest in bitcoin and blockchain technology","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166349857","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Exchange traded funds enable you to tap into the hot asset category while lowering risk.\n\nBitcoin an","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Exchange traded funds enable you to tap into the hot asset category while lowering risk.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be among the most volatile securities trading today.</p>\n<p>A safer way to invest in cryptos and blockchain-technology companies is through exchange traded funds.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLOK\">Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF</a> BLOK is, by far, the largest ETF focused on cryptocurrencies and companies that use or develop blockchain technology.

For the complete two-year period, it was down 18%. Meanwhile, BLCN returned a positive 14% and BLOK was up 1%.

A broader investment in blockchain technology, with exposure to cryptocurrencies, may fit your risk tolerance better, while still giving exposure to this technological phenomenon.</p>\n<p><b>ETF portfolios</b></p>\n<p>During an interview, Amplify CEO Christian Magoon said he had decided to take an active approach with BLOK because of added flexibility.</p>\n<p>A passive approach to forming an index of companies exposed to blockchain might make use of algorithms for keyword searches in company filings for \"blockchain\" and related words, as a way to identify companies making use of the technology. But Magoon said BLOK's subadviser, Toroso Investments, will \"take extra steps to verify the actual blockchain-related activities of the companies we invest in.\"</p>\n<p>That can be important in a relatively new space with plenty of buzzwords.

It has been a popular way for investors and traders to \"play\" bitcoin indirectly. But it has its own risks, as its share price at times can rise to a very high premium over the trust's net asset value (the value of its investments at the end of the trading day divided by the number of shares). This means GBTC has an extra layer of volatility on top of bitcoin's price.</p>\n<p>According to Magoon, GBTC has traded at a premium as high as 70% over NAV, although recently it has traded below the NAV.</p>\n<p>This extra volatility led BLOK to completely sell out of its GBTC position, Magoon said. It now holds shares of Canadian exchange traded funds that invest in bitcoin. Magoon says those tend to trade close to NAV. An example of a Canadian bitcoin ETF held by block is the Purpose Bitcoin ETF .</p>\n<p>BCLN tends to have more holdings than BLOK -- 69 stocks at the end of the second quarter.

Both ETFs were established on Jan. 17, 2018. There's more about each of them below.\nDigital currencies -- risks and rewards\nBefore digging into the blockchain ETFs, consider the risks of bitcoin and other digital currencies beyond volatility. For example, if you hold bitcoin in a digital wallet, make sure you don't lose your password. One investor lost access to an account with 7,002 bitcoin in 2012, according to Yahoo Finance. That equates to more than $327 million, based on bitcoin's settled price of $46,777 on Sept. 7.\nThere have also been difficulties for people who wish to trade cryptocurrencies on days of high volatility and reports of hacked accounts and poor customer service at Coinbase Global Inc. $(COIN)$, with customers unable to recover lost bitcoin.\nCoinbase has said only 0.01% of its customers have been affected by \"account takeovers,\" and analysts covering Coinbase's stock are believers in the company. Among 24 analysts polled by FactSet, 16 rate the stock a \"buy\" or the equivalent.

December? Fed's 'taper' timeline tied to volatile jobs data","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168241045","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve, facing a labor market that may be stalling or on the cus","content":"<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve, facing a labor market that may be stalling or on the cusp of a surge, is expected next week to open the door to reducing its monthly bond purchases while tying any actual change to U.S. job growth in September and beyond.</p>\n<p>Fed officials, including Chair Jerome Powell, have said the U.S. central bank's $120 billion in monthly bond purchases could be scaled back later this year as a first step towards ending the crisis-era policies implemented in the spring of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic was taking hold.</p>\n<p>But after an unexpectedly weak gain of 235,000 jobs in August, officials will want to keep their options open, ready to reduce bond purchases as soon as the Nov. 2-3 policy meeting if employment growth rebounds and COVID-19 risks recede, but able also to delay any \"taper\" if the virus hinders the recovery.</p>\n<p>\"It is hard to be enthusiastic to begin reducing purchases if the pace of (job) gains has slowed a lot,\" said William English, a Yale School of Management professor and former Fed official who helped shape the bond-buying program initiated by the central bank in response to the 2007-2009 financial crisis and recession.</p>\n<p>\"They will want more data,\" English said. \"And if it is disappointing, they conceivably end up waiting ... It is a tricky statement. They want to open the door but not commit. That is the mission.\"</p>\n<p>That dilemma raises the stakes for the next U.S. employment report, which is due to be released on Oct. 8. That data is likely to show whether the Delta variant of the coronavirus is having a deeper impact than Fed officials anticipated earlier in the summer when they said the economy appeared to be divorcing itself from the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Graphic: A slow crawl to \"substantial\": https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/JOBS/mopankjnlva/chart.png</p>\n<p>'SUBSTANTIAL FURTHER PROGRESS'</p>\n<p>The Fed will hold its next policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, a session that will include the release of fresh economic projections and a new read on officials' interest rate expectations. The projections will incorporate a volatile summer of data that included job gains of nearly 1 million in both June and July before the dropoff in August, unexpectedly strong inflation numbers, and a surge of COVID-19 infections and deaths that eclipsed last summer's viral wave.</p>\n<p>As close as Fed officials seemed to be to a bond-buying taper decision as of their late-July policy meeting, some of the subsequent data have pushed in the other direction. New York Fed President John Williams and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, both voting members of the central bank's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), are among those who want more information before making a final decision.</p>\n<p>The Fed in December said it would not change the bond purchases until there was \"substantial further progress\" in reclaiming the 10 million jobs that were missing at that point because of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Binding policy closely to the level of pandemic job losses made sense at the time, with the country worried about a new slide into recession and COVID-19 vaccines yet to be widely distributed.

It is a tricky statement. They want to open the door but not commit. That is the mission.\"\nThat dilemma raises the stakes for the next U.S. employment report, which is due to be released on Oct. 8. That data is likely to show whether the Delta variant of the coronavirus is having a deeper impact than Fed officials anticipated earlier in the summer when they said the economy appeared to be divorcing itself from the pandemic.\nGraphic: A slow crawl to \"substantial\": https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/JOBS/mopankjnlva/chart.png\n'SUBSTANTIAL FURTHER PROGRESS'\nThe Fed will hold its next policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, a session that will include the release of fresh economic projections and a new read on officials' interest rate expectations. The projections will incorporate a volatile summer of data that included job gains of nearly 1 million in both June and July before the dropoff in August, unexpectedly strong inflation numbers, and a surge of COVID-19 infections and deaths that eclipsed last summer's viral wave.\nAs close as Fed officials seemed to be to a bond-buying taper decision as of their late-July policy meeting, some of the subsequent data have pushed in the other direction. New York Fed President John Williams and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, both voting members of the central bank's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), are among those who want more information before making a final decision.\nThe Fed in December said it would not change the bond purchases until there was \"substantial further progress\" in reclaiming the 10 million jobs that were missing at that point because of the pandemic.\nBinding policy closely to the level of pandemic job losses made sense at the time, with the country worried about a new slide into recession and COVID-19 vaccines yet to be widely distributed. It now leaves policymakers dependent on a jobs revival that has run in fits and starts, shaped by forces as disparate as childcare availability or opposition to mask-wearing mandates in large states like Florida and Texas and their effect on hiring and people's ability to work.\nAs of August the economy had clawed back fewer than half of those 10 million missing jobs. Other relevant statistics, like the employment-to-population ratio, are short of what policymakers like Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin, also a voting member of the FOMC this year, have said they want to see before concluding that the job market was repaired enough to begin reducing the bond purchases.\nSome Fed officials, including Governor Christopher Waller, want to taper sooner rather than later, arguing the purchases are doing little to help hiring at this point and pose a risk if, by keeping long-term interest rates low, they fuel housing or other asset bubbles.\nWith inflation also higher than expected for most of the last several months, other officials have said the bond purchases should end by early next year. However, a recent weakening of inflation, as expected by many other Fed officials, may temper any sense of urgency to act faster.\nGraphic: Downside 'surprises' complicate Fed's task: https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/TAPER/gdvzyqwdnpw/chart.png\nHOW MUCH LIKE 2013?\nThat kind of division over policy, in an era when economic data have veered from frightening to ebullient, means the Fed will want to keeps its options open in the weeks ahead, said Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist at SGH Macro Advisors and an economics professor at the University of Oregon.\n\"They will do something like 2013.
