With management looking to sell equity to help a very distressed balance sheet, every dollar the stock declined meant less funds coming in. Recently, the company finished off its equity sales program, and the result was even more disappointing than I originally thought. As a result, shareholders are likely to see even more dilution in the coming years than previously projected.</p><p>Right before the reverse split took place, AMC shares were trading at $4, which would have meant a price of $40 after the 1 for 10 split went through. With management looking to sell 25 million shares, this meant the outside possibility of a one billion dollar equity raise. The resulting stock drop I covered previously was to around $2.50, which meant with no other fall in shares, the company could raise around $625 million.</p><p>AMC has been looking at ways to improve its financial situation in recent years. With the movie business getting hurt tremendously by the coronavirus, the company found its debt pile surging. At the end of Q2, the net debt amount was nearly $4.4 billion, with about two-thirds of that coming due in 2026. Management has reduced the amount of total debt that it owes, but that was primarily as a result of draining the cash balance.</p><p>In the near term, however, the bigger issue is probably the working capital balance. This key balance sheet metric is the amount of current assets the company has minus its current liabilities. A negative number here means you have a lot more bills coming due in the next 12 calendar months than you have the ability to pay back. As the chart below shows, working capital has been quite negative for AMC over the past six quarters.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fcf0c0eb441168add217866baad8d4c\" alt=\"AMC Working Capital (Company Filings)\" title=\"AMC Working Capital (Company Filings)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"341\"/><span>AMC Working Capital (Company Filings)</span></p><p>At the end of Q2, AMC had negative working capital of nearly $850 million. Ignoring the debt pile for a minute, an equity raise of more than half of billion dollars would have certainly helped reduce this balance quite substantially. Unfortunately for shareholders, the company announced last week that it raised just about $325 million from the equity sales program, and this was after increasing the program to 40 million shares.</p><p>Excluding any moves in the debt pile made in these last few weeks of Q3, as well as what happens financially during the current quarter, AMC didn&#39;t even raise enough money to reduce its working capital deficit in half. The company would still be more than half a billion dollars in the red here, and that&#39;s despite diluting investors by 60% more than originally planned. As a quick reminder, AMC last got its working capital balance into the green, as shown in the chart above, by roughly tripling its outstanding share count in the first half of 2021.</p><p>Before the recent equity sale took place, there were about 158 million shares outstanding. After the deal was completed, that number surges to around 200 million. Don&#39;t forget that the split-adjusted figure was only around 5 million prior to the coronavirus (when looking only at Class A shares), so investors have been diluted tremendously here and the balance sheet is still in horrible shape. The key point here is that investors are likely going to face a lot more dilution moving forward, and it is quite possible another equity raise takes place in the next couple of quarters if the working capital number doesn&#39;t improve significantly.</p><p>Given the company needed to sell a lot more shares than previously thought, as well as the much lower amount of funds raised, I am continuing to rate this stock as a sell here. The stock is close to a multi-year low, and there has been a lot of volatility in the name in recent years, so it wouldn&#39;t surprise me if the stock bounces around a bit moving forward. However, it seems that the long term path here is lower, because the financial situation is not improving as quickly as it needs to be.

With management looking to sell equity to help a very distressed balance sheet, every dollar the stock declined meant less funds coming in. Recently, the company finished off its equity sales program, and the result was even more disappointing than I originally thought. As a result, shareholders are likely to see even more dilution in the coming years than previously projected.Right before the reverse split took place, AMC shares were trading at $4, which would have meant a price of $40 after the 1 for 10 split went through. With management looking to sell 25 million shares, this meant the outside possibility of a one billion dollar equity raise. The resulting stock drop I covered previously was to around $2.50, which meant with no other fall in shares, the company could raise around $625 million.AMC has been looking at ways to improve its financial situation in recent years. With the movie business getting hurt tremendously by the coronavirus, the company found its debt pile surging. At the end of Q2, the net debt amount was nearly $4.4 billion, with about two-thirds of that coming due in 2026. Management has reduced the amount of total debt that it owes, but that was primarily as a result of draining the cash balance.In the near term, however, the bigger issue is probably the working capital balance. This key balance sheet metric is the amount of current assets the company has minus its current liabilities. A negative number here means you have a lot more bills coming due in the next 12 calendar months than you have the ability to pay back. As the chart below shows, working capital has been quite negative for AMC over the past six quarters.AMC Working Capital (Company Filings)At the end of Q2, AMC had negative working capital of nearly $850 million. Ignoring the debt pile for a minute, an equity raise of more than half of billion dollars would have certainly helped reduce this balance quite substantially. Unfortunately for shareholders, the company announced last week that it raised just about $325 million from the equity sales program, and this was after increasing the program to 40 million shares.Excluding any moves in the debt pile made in these last few weeks of Q3, as well as what happens financially during the current quarter, AMC didn't even raise enough money to reduce its working capital deficit in half. The company would still be more than half a billion dollars in the red here, and that's despite diluting investors by 60% more than originally planned. As a quick reminder, AMC last got its working capital balance into the green, as shown in the chart above, by roughly tripling its outstanding share count in the first half of 2021.Before the recent equity sale took place, there were about 158 million shares outstanding. After the deal was completed, that number surges to around 200 million. Don't forget that the split-adjusted figure was only around 5 million prior to the coronavirus (when looking only at Class A shares), so investors have been diluted tremendously here and the balance sheet is still in horrible shape. The key point here is that investors are likely going to face a lot more dilution moving forward, and it is quite possible another equity raise takes place in the next couple of quarters if the working capital number doesn't improve significantly.Given the company needed to sell a lot more shares than previously thought, as well as the much lower amount of funds raised, I am continuing to rate this stock as a sell here. The stock is close to a multi-year low, and there has been a lot of volatility in the name in recent years, so it wouldn't surprise me if the stock bounces around a bit moving forward. However, it seems that the long term path here is lower, because the financial situation is not improving as quickly as it needs to be. With the stock crashing recently, every additional equity raise moving forward is going to be even more dilutive, as the market cap here is down to around $1.55 billion.In the end, AMC's equity raise turned out to be a major disappointment. The stock's crash around the reverse split caused the net proceeds to be a lot less than hoped for, and this was after management boosted the offering size by 60%. With a working capital balance still deep in the red, and a huge debt pile that needs to be addressed in the coming years, the company is likely to need additional equity sales moving forward, and that could pressure the stock even more in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":211689501761656,"gmtCreate":1692713044050,"gmtModify":1692713048714,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hodl.

After all, a fair number of meme ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>You may think a call to “sell meme stocks now” is an overreaction. After all, a fair number of meme names have performed well lately, suggesting a “renaissance” of sorts for this investing trend. In fact, some long-standing meme plays have bolted higher, thanks to rising optimism that macro concerns like high inflation and high-interest rates are entering the rearview mirror. Even meme plays with exposure to the artificial intelligence megatrend have performed very well for speculators lately.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">However, it’s important to note that this has been a partial resurgence, not a full comeback. Plenty of past “meme kings” have continued to struggle. Not only that, the aforementioned meme stock rallies may prove fleeting. If “AI mania” takes a breather, or if investors who “bought on the rumor” of easing inflation and a rate hike pause from the Federal Reserve decide to “sell on the news,” stocks overall, meme stocks included, could be in for a reversal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">With this, consider it wise to heed my advice, and sell meme stocks now. In particular, these seven, all of which are at risk of pulling back from their respective current prices.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">AMC Entertainment (AMC)</h2><p>This month, <strong>AMC Entertainment</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>AMC</u></strong>), one of the original “meme stocks” has experienced a modest lift in price, but overall, shares in the movie theater chain remain far below their 2021 meme frenzy highs. Worse yet, as I argued recently, AMC stock is likely to continue trending lower. While the question of “Is the meme stock frenzy over” remains up for debate, it’s clearly over for AMC. Based on data from <em>Quiver Quantitative</em>, there is now little chatter about the stock on <strong>Reddit’s</strong> <em>r/wallstreetbets</em> subreddit.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In addition, with few “apes” in its corner, AMC will continue to move toward a price more in line with fundamentals. In fact, in April, I argued AMC’s underlying value was under $1 per share, given its operating losses and past heavy shareholder dilution. There’s little suggesting the company’s fair value has climbed to anywhere near its current stock price ($5 per share) since then.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Blue Apron (APRN)</h2><p>If you’re questioning my view that “sell meme stocks now” is a worthwhile position to take, you may be really questioning it when it comes to <strong>Blue Apron</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>APRN</u></strong>).</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Why? APRN moved 67.3% higher on June 9, following the meal kit company’s announced de-leveraging of its balance sheet (due to its shift to an asset-light business model). With this, betting on an APRN stock comeback seems like a profitable move. However, while bottom-fishing in APRN has been profitable is far, that may not be necessarily the case in the long term. To sustain operating losses as it works to become profitable, Blue Apron will likely need to utilize its at-the-market equity offering program, which gives it the ability to sell as much as $75 million worth of additional shares. Dilution from this could weigh on the stock, and minimize possible upside if turnaround efforts prove successful.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Clover Health (CLOV)</h2><p>For some time, <strong>Clover Health</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>CLOV</u></strong>) investors were bullish on the stock. In fact, at one time, it seemed that this digital-first provider of Medicare Advantage plans would “disrupt” the industry and become a major name in the space. However, that has failed to be the case. Revenue growth screeched to a halt in recent quarters. At the same time, Clover’s struggles to become profitable have persisted as well. Even as the company has brought its medical cost ratio (or MCR) to below 100%, gross margins still are not enough to cover overhead. Forecasts now call for Clover to stay in the red until at least 2025. The short-squeeze potential has also diminished significantly. Taking this into account, don’t expect a revival of the meme frenzy for CLOV stock.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Carvana (CVNA)</h2><p><strong>Carvana</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>CVNA</u></strong>) is another meme stock that has performed well lately. For example, shares in the online used car retailer have been on a tear since May, more than tripling in price during this time frame.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Yet while the skeptics have been humbled by this stunning rebound of CVNA stock, their bearish views could still be ultimately proven correct. Despite recently providing investors with an upbeat outlook, analysts argue that improved results during this quarter represent a “one-time upside.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That’s because the deflating of the used car bubble, which sank Carvana shares during 2022, may not yet be over. Fears that the company will fail to ride out the downturn may soon spike again. And if they do, the stock could cough back recent gains. Nowadays, ahead of a potential reversal, sell CVNA if you own it, and steer clear if you don’t own it.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">GameStop (GME)</h2><p>One can’t talk about the end of meme stock frenzy, without including a discussion of the most famous meme stock, <strong>GameStop</strong> (NYSE: <strong><u>GME</u></strong>). The mania surrounding shares in the video game retailer during early 2021 is what set this trend into motion in the first place.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Despite its meme pedigree, unless you bought it recently, holding GME stock with “diamond hands” has been unprofitable. Over the past two-and-a-half years, the video game retailer’s shares have given back the majority of its gains. GME has been moving up lately, as speculators wager GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen’s next move will save the day.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">However, the ultimate collapse of GameStop still appears likely. Barring a game-changing move that pays off quickly, I contend that GameStop remains on its way to becoming the “next Blockbuster,” forsaking the future by maximizing profits at its bricks-and-mortar stores, then going out of business when physical video games become fully obsolete.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Plug Power (PLUG)</h2><p>In the past, <strong>Plug Power</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>PLUG</u></strong>) has benefited from being a meme stock and a renewable energy stock. In fact, the green hydrogen company’s “green wave” bona fides are likely what has helped it avoid a full-on capitulation when the meme trend peaked.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The global decarbonization push is stronger than ever. Yet, it’s unclear whether this will fuel a PLUG stock comeback. If the company hits its ambitious financial targets for later this decade, this could be enough to send shares back toward past highs (around $75 per share). But as <em>InvestorPlace’s</em> Dana Blakenhorn recently argued, despite recent promising results, Plug Power has a long way to go before it demonstrates that it can become a profitable business.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">With so much of its potential upside already priced in as a near-certainty, be sure to jettison PLUG if you decide to follow my advice, and sell meme stocks now.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Lordstown Motors (RIDE)</h2><p><strong>Lordstown Motors</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>RIDE</u></strong>) is one of the best stocks to sell, with this would-be “EV contender” clearly in great distress.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In fact, the RIDE stock has fallen by more than 99% from its meme stock highs, yet it still could end up being a total loss for those buying, or even holding it today.

After all, a fair number of meme names have performed well lately, suggesting a “renaissance” of sorts for this investing trend. In fact, some long-standing meme plays have bolted higher, thanks to rising optimism that macro concerns like high inflation and high-interest rates are entering the rearview mirror. Even meme plays with exposure to the artificial intelligence megatrend have performed very well for speculators lately.However, it’s important to note that this has been a partial resurgence, not a full comeback. Plenty of past “meme kings” have continued to struggle. Not only that, the aforementioned meme stock rallies may prove fleeting. If “AI mania” takes a breather, or if investors who “bought on the rumor” of easing inflation and a rate hike pause from the Federal Reserve decide to “sell on the news,” stocks overall, meme stocks included, could be in for a reversal.With this, consider it wise to heed my advice, and sell meme stocks now. In particular, these seven, all of which are at risk of pulling back from their respective current prices.AMC Entertainment (AMC)This month, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), one of the original “meme stocks” has experienced a modest lift in price, but overall, shares in the movie theater chain remain far below their 2021 meme frenzy highs. Worse yet, as I argued recently, AMC stock is likely to continue trending lower. While the question of “Is the meme stock frenzy over” remains up for debate, it’s clearly over for AMC. Based on data from Quiver Quantitative, there is now little chatter about the stock on Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets subreddit.In addition, with few “apes” in its corner, AMC will continue to move toward a price more in line with fundamentals. In fact, in April, I argued AMC’s underlying value was under $1 per share, given its operating losses and past heavy shareholder dilution. There’s little suggesting the company’s fair value has climbed to anywhere near its current stock price ($5 per share) since then.Blue Apron (APRN)If you’re questioning my view that “sell meme stocks now” is a worthwhile position to take, you may be really questioning it when it comes to Blue Apron (NYSE:APRN).Why? APRN moved 67.3% higher on June 9, following the meal kit company’s announced de-leveraging of its balance sheet (due to its shift to an asset-light business model). With this, betting on an APRN stock comeback seems like a profitable move. However, while bottom-fishing in APRN has been profitable is far, that may not be necessarily the case in the long term. To sustain operating losses as it works to become profitable, Blue Apron will likely need to utilize its at-the-market equity offering program, which gives it the ability to sell as much as $75 million worth of additional shares. Dilution from this could weigh on the stock, and minimize possible upside if turnaround efforts prove successful.Clover Health (CLOV)For some time, Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) investors were bullish on the stock. In fact, at one time, it seemed that this digital-first provider of Medicare Advantage plans would “disrupt” the industry and become a major name in the space. However, that has failed to be the case. Revenue growth screeched to a halt in recent quarters. At the same time, Clover’s struggles to become profitable have persisted as well. Even as the company has brought its medical cost ratio (or MCR) to below 100%, gross margins still are not enough to cover overhead. Forecasts now call for Clover to stay in the red until at least 2025. The short-squeeze potential has also diminished significantly. Taking this into account, don’t expect a revival of the meme frenzy for CLOV stock.Carvana (CVNA)Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) is another meme stock that has performed well lately. For example, shares in the online used car retailer have been on a tear since May, more than tripling in price during this time frame.Yet while the skeptics have been humbled by this stunning rebound of CVNA stock, their bearish views could still be ultimately proven correct. Despite recently providing investors with an upbeat outlook, analysts argue that improved results during this quarter represent a “one-time upside.”That’s because the deflating of the used car bubble, which sank Carvana shares during 2022, may not yet be over. Fears that the company will fail to ride out the downturn may soon spike again. And if they do, the stock could cough back recent gains. Nowadays, ahead of a potential reversal, sell CVNA if you own it, and steer clear if you don’t own it.GameStop (GME)One can’t talk about the end of meme stock frenzy, without including a discussion of the most famous meme stock, GameStop (NYSE: GME). The mania surrounding shares in the video game retailer during early 2021 is what set this trend into motion in the first place.Despite its meme pedigree, unless you bought it recently, holding GME stock with “diamond hands” has been unprofitable. Over the past two-and-a-half years, the video game retailer’s shares have given back the majority of its gains. GME has been moving up lately, as speculators wager GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen’s next move will save the day.However, the ultimate collapse of GameStop still appears likely. Barring a game-changing move that pays off quickly, I contend that GameStop remains on its way to becoming the “next Blockbuster,” forsaking the future by maximizing profits at its bricks-and-mortar stores, then going out of business when physical video games become fully obsolete.Plug Power (PLUG)In the past, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) has benefited from being a meme stock and a renewable energy stock. In fact, the green hydrogen company’s “green wave” bona fides are likely what has helped it avoid a full-on capitulation when the meme trend peaked.The global decarbonization push is stronger than ever. Yet, it’s unclear whether this will fuel a PLUG stock comeback. If the company hits its ambitious financial targets for later this decade, this could be enough to send shares back toward past highs (around $75 per share). But as InvestorPlace’s Dana Blakenhorn recently argued, despite recent promising results, Plug Power has a long way to go before it demonstrates that it can become a profitable business.With so much of its potential upside already priced in as a near-certainty, be sure to jettison PLUG if you decide to follow my advice, and sell meme stocks now.Lordstown Motors (RIDE)Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ: RIDE) is one of the best stocks to sell, with this would-be “EV contender” clearly in great distress.In fact, the RIDE stock has fallen by more than 99% from its meme stock highs, yet it still could end up being a total loss for those buying, or even holding it today. It all has to do with the electric pickup truck maker’s severe cash crunch. Backer Foxconn (OTCMKTS: HNHPF) backed out of providing more financing. In turn, Lordstown has sued Foxconn, in an effort to secure the next round of capital. However, even with the lawsuit, it looks like the end of the road for RIDE. Struggling to obtain previously-committed capital, it is highly doubtful the company will obtain additional funding needed to sustain operations.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948704659,"gmtCreate":1680785877472,"gmtModify":1680785881440,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What is the point of all this FUD.

Despite the stock’s recent slide, Yeung’s target is still way below the shares’ current levels.The Bottom Line on AMC StockThe movie theater business is reeling (no pun intended), AMC’s dent load is staggering,  many smart people are bearish on AMC stock, the company’s Q4 results were unimpressive, and the shares appear to be vastly overvalued.Given all of those points, I believe that the company’s medium-term and long-term prospects are bleak, and I strongly recommend that investors sell all of their shares of AMC stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948827864,"gmtCreate":1680678384558,"gmtModify":1680678388858,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No cell no sell.&nbsp;","listText":"No cell no sell.&nbsp;","text":"No cell no sell.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948827864","repostId":"2325389991","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2325389991","pubTimestamp":1680657634,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2325389991?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-05 09:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC: Sell Before Reverse Split","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2325389991","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAMC settles lawsuit over conversion of APE units.Balance sheet remains very distressed.After ","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul><li><p>AMC settles lawsuit over conversion of APE units.</p></li><li><p>Balance sheet remains very distressed.</p></li><li><p>After reverse split, dilution likely to be quite significant.</p></li></ul><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ffb8ff4d3b25b29d71e596027076be9\" alt=\"Low angle view of the exterior of an AMC movie theater on a sunny day.\" title=\"Low angle view of the exterior of an AMC movie theater on a sunny day.\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"563\"/><span>Low angle view of the exterior of an AMC movie theater on a sunny day.</span></p><p><strong>Colleen Michaels</strong></p><p>One of Tuesday&#39;s biggest losers in the early going is AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC).

While the income statement should look better this year and reducing debt will eventually save on interest, it&#39;s not clear how soon this business can get back to positive cash flow territory.

However, if the share price drops meaningfully after the reverse split before management can start to sell shares, even more dilution will likely add more pressure on the stock.</p><p>In the end, investors should sell AMC while they still have the chance. The company settled the lawsuit regarding the conversion of its APE units, which paves the way for the company to reverse split its stock and then start diluting its investors quite significantly.

Investor interest in AMC stock has been rising lately, but shares continue to trend downward, demonstrating little to no growth. Moreover, AMC is facing a bleak landscape. This is part of what has led one market expert to describe it as a “zombie stock.”</p><p><b>Will AMC Stock Hit $0?</b></p><p>David Trainer is the CEO of <b>New Constructs</b>, an equity research firm specializing in fundamental data and insights. The company keeps a list of “zombie stocks,” a term it uses to describe stocks with poor fundamentals that boast an “unjustified” performance. AMC stock tops the list, which also includes fellow meme stocks <b>Gamestop</b>(NYSE: <b><u>GME</u></b>) and <b>Beyond Meat</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>BYND</u></b>).</p><p>As Trainer sees it, AMC fits the Zombie stock criteria, in part because it is still up almost 50% for the year. He believes there is a very real possibility that AMC stock can fall to $0 and that investors should sell before it does. As he recently stated:</p><blockquote>“This rally is totally unjustified and shows that many investors still haven’t learned the lesson on how to allocate capital intelligently, and is an opportunity for those that have risked owning this stock to sell it before it craters.”</blockquote><p>Trainer also highlights concerns regarding the ways in which AMC is burning through its free cash and alleges that it has “inadequate profits to cover its debt interest payments.” A history of a negative free cash flow (FCF) is a fundamental element of the firm’s zombie stock criteria, and Trainer is highly skeptical of AMC’s ability to sustain a positive cash flow which he describes as a “meaningful period.”</p><p>It may sound extreme to some to suggest that AMC stock will fall to the dreaded $0 mark. But right now, it’s hovering around $5.80 per share, essentially one bad day away from plunging into penny stock territory. And Trainer makes a sound case for why investors should sell, highlighting the many negative elements that have kept the stock from demonstrating any real growth, even as plans for the APE reverse stock split keep the company trending. The unjustified rally is not something for investors to take comfort in.</p><p><b>Let the Credits Roll</b></p><p>In February 2023, <i>InvestorPlace</i> contributor Chris Laumade a similar case to Tanner’s as to why investors should sell AMC stock. He noted that the company is in “survival mode,” operating at a loss while loyal retail investors continue pouring money into it. This isn’t a good investment strategy, and it won’t yield any promising returns, as AMC still boasts the broken fundamentals that landed it on the zombie stock list.</p><p>Just as people tend to run away from zombies, investors should steer clear of AMC stock as it continues its downward trajectory. As <i>InvestorPlace</i> reports, AMC is an outdated company whose outdated business model has continuously rendered it unable to innovate. Now more than ever, it should be ranked among meme stocks to sell before they die.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why AMC Stock Is a Zombie in the Market Right Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy AMC Stock Is a Zombie in the Market Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-09 16:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/03/why-amc-stock-is-a-zombie-in-the-market-right-now/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A market research expert thinks AMC Entertainment(AMC) is a zombie stock.He sees its broken fundamentals taking on the fast track to $0.These assessments of the troubled meme stock could easily prove ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/03/why-amc-stock-is-a-zombie-in-the-market-right-now/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"APE":"AMC Entertainment Preferred","AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/03/why-amc-stock-is-a-zombie-in-the-market-right-now/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1120273968","content_text":"A market research expert thinks AMC Entertainment(AMC) is a zombie stock.He sees its broken fundamentals taking on the fast track to $0.These assessments of the troubled meme stock could easily prove correct.It’s been a bumpy ride for AMC Entertainment(NYSE: AMC) lately, and the ride seems to be far from over.

AMC stock tops the list, which also includes fellow meme stocks Gamestop(NYSE: GME) and Beyond Meat(NASDAQ: BYND).As Trainer sees it, AMC fits the Zombie stock criteria, in part because it is still up almost 50% for the year. He believes there is a very real possibility that AMC stock can fall to $0 and that investors should sell before it does. As he recently stated:“This rally is totally unjustified and shows that many investors still haven’t learned the lesson on how to allocate capital intelligently, and is an opportunity for those that have risked owning this stock to sell it before it craters.”Trainer also highlights concerns regarding the ways in which AMC is burning through its free cash and alleges that it has “inadequate profits to cover its debt interest payments.” A history of a negative free cash flow (FCF) is a fundamental element of the firm’s zombie stock criteria, and Trainer is highly skeptical of AMC’s ability to sustain a positive cash flow which he describes as a “meaningful period.”It may sound extreme to some to suggest that AMC stock will fall to the dreaded $0 mark. But right now, it’s hovering around $5.80 per share, essentially one bad day away from plunging into penny stock territory. And Trainer makes a sound case for why investors should sell, highlighting the many negative elements that have kept the stock from demonstrating any real growth, even as plans for the APE reverse stock split keep the company trending. The unjustified rally is not something for investors to take comfort in.Let the Credits RollIn February 2023, InvestorPlace contributor Chris Laumade a similar case to Tanner’s as to why investors should sell AMC stock. He noted that the company is in “survival mode,” operating at a loss while loyal retail investors continue pouring money into it. This isn’t a good investment strategy, and it won’t yield any promising returns, as AMC still boasts the broken fundamentals that landed it on the zombie stock list.Just as people tend to run away from zombies, investors should steer clear of AMC stock as it continues its downward trajectory. As InvestorPlace reports, AMC is an outdated company whose outdated business model has continuously rendered it unable to innovate. Now more than ever, it should be ranked among meme stocks to sell before they die.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":324,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013881366,"gmtCreate":1648702261814,"gmtModify":1676534382960,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bcos CRIME.&nbsp;","listText":"Bcos CRIME.&nbsp;","text":"Bcos CRIME.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9013881366","repostId":"2223338815","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2223338815","pubTimestamp":1648697305,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2223338815?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-31 11:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMC Stock Is Finally Turning Down Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2223338815","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The movie theater stock has strung together an impressive run of gains over the last two weeks.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The movie theater stock has strung together an impressive run of gains over the last two weeks.</p><h4>What happened</h4><p>Shares of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment Holdings</a> look like they&#39;re about to break their winning streak as shares tumble 12.77% on Wednesday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87924d0768063acaf0c6efff523dce48\" tg-width=\"995\" tg-height=\"668\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Of course, it looked that way yesterday, too, as the stock had stumbled out of the gate and trading in its shares were halted by the New York Stock Exchange after it triggered a circuit breaker.

The online community has failed to lift AMC shares higher, but it's not too late to influence the fundamentals that could ultimately send the stock higher again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":504,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007969875,"gmtCreate":1642738595525,"gmtModify":1676533742157,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bcos of blatant market manipulation? #APESNOTLEAVING","listText":"Bcos of blatant market manipulation? #APESNOTLEAVING","text":"Bcos of blatant market manipulation? #APESNOTLEAVING","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007969875","repostId":"1147218437","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1147218437","pubTimestamp":1642723101,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147218437?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-21 07:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why GameStop Couldn't Hold Onto Its Gains Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147218437","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"And just like that,GameStop's(NYSE:GME)gains for the dayvanished, performing a perfect 180-degree U-","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>And just like that,<b>GameStop</b>&#39;s(NYSE:GME)gains for the dayvanished, performing a perfect 180-degree U-turn from where they stood at the middle of the day, Thursday, to close in the red, down 3.7%.</p><p>The loss brought to eight the number of consecutive days the video game retailer has fallen.

It's gone from teetering on the brink of bankruptcy in early January to being valued at $23 billion, as of business close on July 7.</p>\n<p>At the heart of this rally are AMC's passionate army of retail investors, collectively known as \"apes\" -- an homage to <i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i>, where leader Caesar infers that apes are stronger together. This might sound like a feel-good story whereby retail is finally exacting its revenge on Wall Street, but the reality is that AMC has become a battleground pump-and-dump scheme driven higher almost entirely by the misinformation and lies spread by its retail investors.</p>\n<p>While I've previously covered some aspects of the misinformation campaign used as the foundation for the rally in AMC's stock, below are the eight most pervasive lies that have fueled this pump-and-dump scheme.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 1: Hedge fund short-selling bankrupts companies</h2>\n<p>The whopper of all lies exchanged on message boards and via YouTube is the idea that hedge fund short-selling is somehow responsible for bankrupting businesses.</p>\n<p>The reality is that the operating performance of a company determines whether or not it thrives or goes under. There are plenty of companies whose share prices are under $1 that aren't bankrupt, and there are companies with share prices north of $1 that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection. Investors who choose to buy or short-sell stock are simply betting on an outcome. They don't control or influence how well or poorly the underlying business performs.</p>\n<p>Put another way, if I buy $1 billion worth of <b>Apple</b>&nbsp;stock tomorrow, I might help lift its share price, but I've not improved its sales or profit potential <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> iota. Likewise, if I short-sell Apple's stock tomorrow, I haven't hurt its sales potential or profitability at all. Why would this hypothetical scenario be any different with AMC? Hint: It's not.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 2: Shorts have to cover</h2>\n<p>Another dose of misinformation from AMC's apes is that short sellers of the stock have to cover. Specifically, apes are implying that there's some level of urgency here and that the disorder from excessive covering will lead to the \"mother of all short squeezes.\"</p>\n<p>The truth is that short-sellers \"have to cover\" as much as apes \"have\" to sell their position. In other words, short-sellers can cover their position at their leisure.</p>\n<p>What's more, hedge fund assets under management jumped to $4.07 trillion in June 2021, according to BarclayHedge.

The findings? Only five of the 176 outlets are controlled or majority-controlled by private hedge funds. Apes simply hate hearing bad things said about AMC and will go to any lengths necessary to obfuscate those facts, including lying about MSM.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 6: \"You're obviously short\"</h2>\n<p>To build on the previous point, AMC's impassioned retail investors will also claim inherent ownership biases in the anchors, guests, authors, and so on, who rail against their stock.

While I can't speak for any other company, I can proudly claim that my stock holdings are public information, and they're updated daily if I make a move. To boot, article disclosures state any positions I, and my company, have for any stock mentioned. This <i>includes</i> short positions, as well as any options ownership. The icing on the cake is that I also publicly announce my trading activity on <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>.</p>\n<p>Despite this transparent information, apes constantly and falsely insinuate a financial interest when none exists.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 7: BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC stock is bullish</h2>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I find particularly amusing, because apes are more than willing to welcome institutional investors with open arms <i>if</i> they happen to own shares of AMC.</p>\n<p>Retail investors regularly use <b>BlackRock</b>'s and Vanguard's ownership of AMC stock as a reason to promote optimism. However, this tells only a fraction of the real story. BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the largest institutional investment firms in the country, based on assets under management. As of their mid-May 13F filings, which detailed their holdings for the first quarter, BlackRock had close to 5,000 positions, with Vanguard chiming in with more than 4,000 positions. During Q1, BlackRock and Vanguard added to more than 3,900 and 3,200 of these stakes, respectively.</p>\n<p>Put another way, BlackRock and Vanguard have so many product offerings that they have a stake in virtually every stock listed in an index. Saying that BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC is bullish is akin to saying you bought shares of <b>Ford</b>&nbsp;stock because you like red paint.</p>\n<p>As a percentage of shares outstanding, hedge fund <i>and</i> overall institutional ownership in AMC fell during the first quarter from the sequential fourth quarter. That's a fact!</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 8: Apes saved AMC</h2>\n<p>The eighth and final mammoth lie that AMC's retail investors rely on to coerce community compliance and bring in fresh capital is the idea that apes saved AMC.

It's gone from teetering on the brink of bankruptcy in early January to being valued at $23 billion, as of business close on July 7.\nAt the heart of this rally are AMC's passionate army of retail investors, collectively known as \"apes\" -- an homage to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where leader Caesar infers that apes are stronger together. This might sound like a feel-good story whereby retail is finally exacting its revenge on Wall Street, but the reality is that AMC has become a battleground pump-and-dump scheme driven higher almost entirely by the misinformation and lies spread by its retail investors.\nWhile I've previously covered some aspects of the misinformation campaign used as the foundation for the rally in AMC's stock, below are the eight most pervasive lies that have fueled this pump-and-dump scheme.\nLie No. 1: Hedge fund short-selling bankrupts companies\nThe whopper of all lies exchanged on message boards and via YouTube is the idea that hedge fund short-selling is somehow responsible for bankrupting businesses.\nThe reality is that the operating performance of a company determines whether or not it thrives or goes under. There are plenty of companies whose share prices are under $1 that aren't bankrupt, and there are companies with share prices north of $1 that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection. Investors who choose to buy or short-sell stock are simply betting on an outcome. They don't control or influence how well or poorly the underlying business performs.\nPut another way, if I buy $1 billion worth of Apple stock tomorrow, I might help lift its share price, but I've not improved its sales or profit potential one iota. Likewise, if I short-sell Apple's stock tomorrow, I haven't hurt its sales potential or profitability at all. Why would this hypothetical scenario be any different with AMC? Hint: It's not.\nLie No. 2: Shorts have to cover\nAnother dose of misinformation from AMC's apes is that short sellers of the stock have to cover. Specifically, apes are implying that there's some level of urgency here and that the disorder from excessive covering will lead to the \"mother of all short squeezes.\"\nThe truth is that short-sellers \"have to cover\" as much as apes \"have\" to sell their position. In other words, short-sellers can cover their position at their leisure.\nWhat's more, hedge fund assets under management jumped to $4.07 trillion in June 2021, according to BarclayHedge. For short-covering to be disorderly, a massive wave of margin calls would need to come into play. Since the vast majority of hedge funds are diversified, and they have well over $4 trillion in assets in their sails, the chance of a margin call wave forcing short covering is virtually nonexistent.\nLie No. 3: The short squeeze is coming/around the corner\nJust as they teach every salesperson, creating a sense of urgency with customers (i.e., potential new investors) is important. Apes are constantly hyping the idea that a short squeeze is imminent, or at worst right around the corner. Unfortunately, it's been five months since this ongoing claim began making its rounds, and there's nothing these retail folks can say to substantiate it.\nAside from an institutional investor/hedge fund margin call wave being highly unlikely, history has also showed that short squeeze candidates have a poor track record of success. Earlier this year, I looked at the trailing three-month returns of 114 stocks with short interest above 20% and a market cap of at least $300 million. Only 9 of 114 stocks had gained 10% or more, while 94 of 114 had a negative three-month return.\nApes need fresh capital to keep this pump-and-dump scheme going, but the data clearly shows that short squeezes rarely pay off.\nLie No. 4: Fundamentals don't matter\nAMC's retail investors are also quick to dismiss anything having to do with concrete fundamental data. Whether it's the company's operating performance, industry ticket-sale trends, or AMC's balance sheet, they'll proudly proclaim it as FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and remind you this isn't a fundamental play.

That said, investors should aware that the company is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its share run-up, that was primarily orchestrated by the Reddit commmunity WallStreetBets (WSB).</p>\n<p>Many WSB traders publicly disclosed their identities while promoting the stock in the past six months, leading to them becoming prime targets for possible litigation or criminal investigations. Meanwhile, GameStop is taking advantage of the run-up to issue more stock at the expense of existing shareholders. Is the stock still a safe bet for potential investors?</p>\n<h2>The good news</h2>\n<p>GameStop had a spectacular quarter. In Q1 2021, the company closed down 12.7% of its roughly 4,000 stores in operations. Despite this, it managed to grow its sales by 25% year-over-year to $1.277 billion.</p>\n<p>At the same time, GameStop's operating loss narrowed to $21.6 million from $98.8 million a year ago. Thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime short squeeze, the company was able to offer additional equity to pay back all its debt and start afresh. It currently has more than $700 million in cash and investments on its balance sheet.</p>\n<h2>The bad news</h2>\n<p>After the earnings release, GameStop shares fell by as much as 27% in a single trading session. In addition, the company announced it would issue up to five million additional shares over a period of time, representing a dilution of up to 7% to its 70 million shares outstanding.</p>\n<p>That aside, there's the major risk of lawsuits against those involved in the coordinated \"pump and dump\" activities of the WSB community. Reddit user profiles of these traders are pretty much public. In fact, lawsuits have already been filed against prominent members of the community for allegedly promoting GameStop while the stock was at \"artificially high levels\".</p>\n<p>On June 9, the SEC announced it was probing GameStop concerning recent trading activities. While the investigation is still in its infancy, WSB members are growing increasingly concerned about legal and privacy issues from the fallout. The agency could potentially subpoena popular platforms like Reddit to access personal information/identities of members regarding their roles in the run-up. I believe this rapidly spreading fear, especially among those who are \"holding-on-for-dear-life\" (HODLers), is responsible for the sell-off.</p>\n<h2>What's next?</h2>\n<p>The same community that propped up GameStop's stock in a greed-fueled frenzy is equally capable of sending the shares crashing if fear takes center stage. While the company is generating solid growth, the company has a negative free cash flow of about $33.5 million per quarter, including a net cash outflow of nearly $19 million in operating activites. It's a noticeable improvement from $55.9 million negative FCF last year -- but still isn't good news yet. GameStop sold investors on the dream of a turnaround into an e-commerce giant and now has to live up to its reputation.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of uncertainty as to how profitable the new GameStop could be. Maybe its net margins will improve to 5% to 10%; perhaps it will hover around 0%, perhaps it will keep running at a loss for quite some time. After all, its gross margins actually fell 1.8 percentage points to 25.9% in Q1. Until the company can prove its new business model is working, it's probably better to look at retailers with both revenue growth and solid profitability instead.</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>Can You Still Count on GameStop Stock?</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\">\nCan You Still Count on GameStop Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 10:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/22/can-you-still-count-on-gamestop-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GameStop (NYSE:GME) reported impressive revenue growth in Q1 2021, crushing the narrative that it's a failing brick-and-mortar video game retailer with a bleak outlook.

If you owned the stock coming into 2021, it was a lot of fun watching the per-share price go from about $17 to the current $212.</p>\n<p>But you shouldn't get lulled into buying the hype surrounding this meme stock. The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.</p>\n<h2>Trying to transition</h2>\n<p>GameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.</p>\n<p>While the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam, <b> Microsoft</b>, and <b> Sony</b>.</p>\n<p>A major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company <b>Chewy</b>, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for <b>Amazon</b>.</p>\n<p>Clearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?</p>\n<h2>Don't get fooled</h2>\n<p>It's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-time purchase.</p>\n<p>The company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems. This suggests that GameStop's hope for a multi-year bounce from the new systems is already facing hurdles.</p>\n<h2>Details lacking</h2>\n<p>While the new management team has online e-commerce experience, details on a plan forward remain lacking. Undoubtedly, that is coming as the executives meet and figure out where they want to go. However, with stiff online competition, it is tough to invest in the company without knowing how it will turn itself around and get sales back to sustained profitability.</p>\n<p>That's why you should leave GameStop's shares on the shelf.</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>1 Stock to Avoid No Matter What</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\">\n1 Stock to Avoid No Matter What\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-17 17:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/16/1-stock-to-avoid-no-matter-what-gamestop/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GameStop (NYSE:GME) has certainly had a wild ride this year.

The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.\nTrying to transition\nGameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.\nWhile the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam,  Microsoft, and  Sony.\nA major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company Chewy, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for Amazon.\nClearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?\nDon't get fooled\nIt's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.\nIt is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a one-time purchase.\nThe company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems. This suggests that GameStop's hope for a multi-year bounce from the new systems is already facing hurdles.\nDetails lacking\nWhile the new management team has online e-commerce experience, details on a plan forward remain lacking. Undoubtedly, that is coming as the executives meet and figure out where they want to go. However, with stiff online competition, it is tough to invest in the company without knowing how it will turn itself around and get sales back to sustained profitability.\nThat's why you should leave GameStop's shares on the shelf.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":506,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168308862,"gmtCreate":1623948669156,"gmtModify":1703824509355,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"REMEMBER AMC.

He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”</p>\n<p>Marx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billionon meme stocks so far.</p>\n<p>As a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me. HuffPost’s Michael Hobbessummed upmillennials’ financial situation best in 2017: “My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.”</p>\n<p>Perhaps because we’re the only American generation to live through two major recessions and two wars in our coming-up years, we’re the first generation to be financially worse off than our parents, despite beingbetter educatedon average. We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according toBloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated witheven more student debtthan their white classmates, arefar less likelyto be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earnjust 60%of what their white coworkers make.</p>\n<p>Millennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup studycalledmillennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago studyfound millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest inthree decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)</p>\n<p>If all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thustorpedoingmy career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given thepredominantly millennialcomposition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.</p>\n<p>There’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw withGameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but evenreportedlysold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had afinancial relationshipwith firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.</p>\n<p>In March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>When that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation ischiefly responsiblefor the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin hasappreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanleybecame thefirst bankto offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>Millennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.</p>\n<p><b>Corrections &amp; Amplifications</b>: Citadel Securities is a market-maker that provides services for Robinhood, not a hedge fund.

I’m right there with you, Karl.</p>\n<p>Working-class millennials have been denied the chance to build generational wealth over the course of our professional careers.

He added that many of his investments were typically “forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse.”</p>\n<p>Marx’s trading stories are difficult to substantiate, but millennials’ love of meme stocks is very real. I’ve already made more this year from trading meme stocks and cryptocurrency than I have as a professional writer. I’ve come to look at the meme stock boom as millennials’ chance to finally build wealth. But if not, we’re content with making the investors largely responsible for our financial woes feel a bit of the pain they’ve inflicted on us. Short-sellers are losing their shirts to the tune of$4.5 billionon meme stocks so far.</p>\n<p>As a 34-year-old American, almost every generational stereotype applies to me.

We paid for it, too. A year of college that cost $10,000 for boomers set millennials back more than $15,000 on average in inflation-adjusted dollars, according toBloomberg. Millennials of color, particularly Black millennials, have it worse. They graduated witheven more student debtthan their white classmates, arefar less likelyto be hired in white-collar professions, and their households earnjust 60%of what their white coworkers make.</p>\n<p>Millennials’ high-priced educations haven’t bought us much job security. A 2018 Gallup studycalledmillennials the “job-hopping generation.” Maybe, but not by choice. A 2019University of Chicago studyfound millennials actually long for a stable career. It should come as little surprise, then, that a generation plagued with job insecurity and mounting debt is leading the“baby bust.”The birth rate is at its lowest inthree decades. There may not be enough working-age Americans to care for the nation’s swelling senior population. Boomers effectively climbed the class ladder, then took a saw and cut off the rungs below them. (And they still ask us when we’ll give them grandchildren!)</p>\n<p>If all that doesn’t make meme stocks and cryptocurrency more appealing, at least it might help explain why some of us just don’t care any more about playing it safe. I’ll be the first to admit that investing in meme stocks isn’t a sustainable way to build wealth. A lot more of us will get hurt than get rich. But I’m not primarily investing to make money: I want the investors who crashed the economy and got bailed out in my senior year of college—thustorpedoingmy career earning potential—to feel at least a little bit of the hardship they put my generation through. And given thepredominantly millennialcomposition of /r/WallStreetBets, I know I’m not the only rage-driven investor.</p>\n<p>There’s plenty to be mad about. Like we saw withGameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but evenreportedlysold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had afinancial relationshipwith firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.</p>\n<p>In March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>When that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation ischiefly responsiblefor the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin hasappreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanleybecame thefirst bankto offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p>Millennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.</p>\n<p><b>Corrections &amp; Amplifications</b>: Citadel Securities is a market-maker that provides services for Robinhood, not a hedge fund.

Like we saw withGameStop,workers organizing to make the stock market pay out in our favor results in strict blowback. After Redditors speculated GameStop shares through the roof in late January, mobile trading app Robinhood not only restricted trading, but evenreportedlysold investors’ GameStop shares without their consent. (Robinhooddeniesforced-selling occurred.) When it came to light that Robinhood had afinancial relationshipwith firms that help route its customers’ orders, it made a lot of newbie investors like me even more jaded about the markets.\nIn March, when New York City opened movie theaters, I decided to buy AMC shares on a lark for $7 apiece. As of early June, my investment has appreciated in value by more than 550%. That could evaporate, but I’m taking a lesson from GameStop. Its stock is still trading at more than $250 per share despite starting the year under $20. I plan on continuing to hold my AMC shares in hopes the value will increase even more. When it’s finally time, I’ll sell half and re-invest my profits in cryptocurrency.\nWhen that happens, I’ll be far from the only millennial betting big on crypto. According to Business Insider, my generation ischiefly responsiblefor the sudden rise of cryptocurrency in 2021, in which both blue-chip digital currencies like Ethereum, as well as joke cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, are thriving. Ethereum’s price has gone from $730.97 per coin on Jan. 1 to a peak of over $4,000 in May. Dogecoin hasappreciatedby more than 21,000% since its inception as a meme in 2013. (I’m still kicking myself for selling my Dogecoin when it was trading for less than 10 cents, even though I still made thousands in profit). Millennials’ commitment to crypto is now forcing the giants to play along: In March,Morgan Stanleybecame thefirst bankto offer Bitcoin funds to its wealthy clients. And as if on cue, now that the workers have made a little money in the rigged casino, U.S. regulators are reportedly preparing a “crackdown” on cryptocurrency.\nMillennials went through childhood being told we had to work hard to have financial security. Then we were told we had to shackle ourselves with debt to get a college degree that would get us a good job. Then we were told that only a lucky few actually build wealth from their jobs and that to have true financial success, we should invest. And then when we invested, we were told we were doing it wrong. I get the message. Millennials aren’t meant to win. Financial security isn’t for us. So if we can make a few grand by speculating penny stocks to the moon and hurt a few smug hedge fund vultures in the process, we’ll settle for that.\nCorrections & Amplifications: Citadel Securities is a market-maker that provides services for Robinhood, not a hedge fund. An earlier version of this commentary incorrectly reported that a subsidiary of Citadel Securities held a short position in GameStop.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147852027,"gmtCreate":1626352419869,"gmtModify":1703758439813,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"AMC500K.

It's gone from teetering on the brink of bankruptcy in early January to being valued at $23 billion, as of business close on July 7.</p>\n<p>At the heart of this rally are AMC's passionate army of retail investors, collectively known as \"apes\" -- an homage to <i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i>, where leader Caesar infers that apes are stronger together. This might sound like a feel-good story whereby retail is finally exacting its revenge on Wall Street, but the reality is that AMC has become a battleground pump-and-dump scheme driven higher almost entirely by the misinformation and lies spread by its retail investors.</p>\n<p>While I've previously covered some aspects of the misinformation campaign used as the foundation for the rally in AMC's stock, below are the eight most pervasive lies that have fueled this pump-and-dump scheme.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 1: Hedge fund short-selling bankrupts companies</h2>\n<p>The whopper of all lies exchanged on message boards and via YouTube is the idea that hedge fund short-selling is somehow responsible for bankrupting businesses.</p>\n<p>The reality is that the operating performance of a company determines whether or not it thrives or goes under. There are plenty of companies whose share prices are under $1 that aren't bankrupt, and there are companies with share prices north of $1 that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection. Investors who choose to buy or short-sell stock are simply betting on an outcome. They don't control or influence how well or poorly the underlying business performs.</p>\n<p>Put another way, if I buy $1 billion worth of <b>Apple</b>&nbsp;stock tomorrow, I might help lift its share price, but I've not improved its sales or profit potential <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> iota. Likewise, if I short-sell Apple's stock tomorrow, I haven't hurt its sales potential or profitability at all. Why would this hypothetical scenario be any different with AMC? Hint: It's not.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 2: Shorts have to cover</h2>\n<p>Another dose of misinformation from AMC's apes is that short sellers of the stock have to cover. Specifically, apes are implying that there's some level of urgency here and that the disorder from excessive covering will lead to the \"mother of all short squeezes.\"</p>\n<p>The truth is that short-sellers \"have to cover\" as much as apes \"have\" to sell their position. In other words, short-sellers can cover their position at their leisure.</p>\n<p>What's more, hedge fund assets under management jumped to $4.07 trillion in June 2021, according to BarclayHedge. For short-covering to be disorderly, a massive wave of margin calls would need to come into play. Since the vast majority of hedge funds are diversified, and they have well over $4 trillion in assets in their sails, the chance of a margin call wave forcing short covering is virtually nonexistent.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 3: The short squeeze is coming/around the corner</h2>\n<p>Just as they teach every salesperson, creating a sense of urgency with customers (i.e., potential new investors) is important. Apes are constantly hyping the idea that a short squeeze is imminent, or at worst right around the corner. Unfortunately, it's been five months since this ongoing claim began making its rounds, and there's nothing these retail folks can say to substantiate it.</p>\n<p>Aside from an institutional investor/hedge fund margin call wave being <i>highly</i> unlikely, history has also showed that short squeeze candidates have a poor track record of success. Earlier this year, I looked at the trailing three-month returns of 114 stocks with short interest above 20% and a market cap of at least $300 million. Only 9 of 114 stocks had gained 10% or more, while 94 of 114 had a negative three-month return.</p>\n<p>Apes need fresh capital to keep this pump-and-dump scheme going, but the data clearly shows that short squeezes rarely pay off.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 4: Fundamentals don't matter</h2>\n<p>AMC's retail investors are also quick to dismiss anything having to do with concrete fundamental data. Whether it's the company's operating performance, industry ticket-sale trends, or AMC's balance sheet, they'll proudly proclaim it as FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and remind you this isn't a fundamental play. They do this because AMC's operating performance and balance sheet are nothing short of a horror movie, and they damage the misinformation campaign being put forward on social media and YouTube.</p>\n<p>I'll let you in on an investing secret that tenured investors know: Fundamentals always matter. Purposefully telling new investors to ignore fundamentals is like telling a used car buyer not to inspect the engine and just trust that everything is OK.</p>\n<p>For instance, social media was buzzing about <b>Washington Prime Group</b>'s short squeeze potential over the weekend of June 12 and 13. The company filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night (June 13), halving investors' stakes the following morning. The engine (fundamentals) drives the car; not the other way around.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 5: Hedge funds control the mainstream media</h2>\n<p>AMC's apes need to create the impression that anything negative said about their company's stock on television, radio, the internet, or print can't possibly be true, and telling the lie that hedge funds control the mainstream media (MSM) is the easiest way to accomplish that task. Again, this pump-and-dump scam needs fresh capital to keep moving higher, therefore presenting the media as evil is an easy way to try to rally new investors to the retail cause.</p>\n<p>But, as is all-too-common with the ape agenda, it's devoid of fact.</p>\n<p>It just so happens that Harvard University provided a painstakingly thorough look at MSM ownership for 176 of the most influential media companies/outlets in May 2021. The findings? Only five of the 176 outlets are controlled or majority-controlled by private hedge funds. Apes simply hate hearing bad things said about AMC and will go to any lengths necessary to obfuscate those facts, including lying about MSM.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 6: \"You're obviously short\"</h2>\n<p>To build on the previous point, AMC's impassioned retail investors will also claim inherent ownership biases in the anchors, guests, authors, and so on, who rail against their stock. This is necessary to help recruit fresh capital to their cause by trying to create an \"us vs. them\" mentality.</p>\n<p>To offer an example, I've personally been told on social media many dozens of times that I'm \"obviously short\" or \"clearly losing a lot of money\" because of the journalistic position I've taken on AMC. While I can't speak for any other company, I can proudly claim that my stock holdings are public information, and they're updated daily if I make a move. To boot, article disclosures state any positions I, and my company, have for any stock mentioned. This <i>includes</i> short positions, as well as any options ownership. The icing on the cake is that I also publicly announce my trading activity on <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>.</p>\n<p>Despite this transparent information, apes constantly and falsely insinuate a financial interest when none exists.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 7: BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC stock is bullish</h2>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I find particularly amusing, because apes are more than willing to welcome institutional investors with open arms <i>if</i> they happen to own shares of AMC.</p>\n<p>Retail investors regularly use <b>BlackRock</b>'s and Vanguard's ownership of AMC stock as a reason to promote optimism. However, this tells only a fraction of the real story. BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the largest institutional investment firms in the country, based on assets under management. As of their mid-May 13F filings, which detailed their holdings for the first quarter, BlackRock had close to 5,000 positions, with Vanguard chiming in with more than 4,000 positions. During Q1, BlackRock and Vanguard added to more than 3,900 and 3,200 of these stakes, respectively.</p>\n<p>Put another way, BlackRock and Vanguard have so many product offerings that they have a stake in virtually every stock listed in an index. Saying that BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC is bullish is akin to saying you bought shares of <b>Ford</b>&nbsp;stock because you like red paint.</p>\n<p>As a percentage of shares outstanding, hedge fund <i>and</i> overall institutional ownership in AMC fell during the first quarter from the sequential fourth quarter. That's a fact!</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 8: Apes saved AMC</h2>\n<p>The eighth and final mammoth lie that AMC's retail investors rely on to coerce community compliance and bring in fresh capital is the idea that apes saved AMC. These folks genuinely believe that by purchasing shares of AMC they've somehow saved the company from going bankrupt.</p>\n<p>As I discussed with the first lie on this list, buying and selling stock has absolutely no influence on how well or poorly a company performs from an operating standpoint. Even if apes were to buy every share in existence, AMC could still go bankrupt if its operating performance doesn't improve. And based on its 2027 bonds trading well below par, bondholders aren't convinced that things will improve enough to save the company.</p>\n<p>What really saves companies from bankruptcy is their operating performance and the actions of management. In AMC's case, selling hundreds of millions of shares of stock an issuing high-interest debt last year and in early January gave it the financial lifeline needed to survive the worst of the pandemic. That's not apes saving AMC; that's the company's actions extending a lifeline.</p>\n<p>If anything, apes are purposely harming AMC by tying the hands of CEO Adam Aron and shooting down any additional opportunities for the company to raise capital and shore up its balance sheet.</p>\n<p>If this list of lies shows anything, it's the lengths apes will go to manipulate AMC's share price. However, history is very clear that all pump-and-dump schemes end in disaster. That's not FUD. It's a practical guarantee.</p>\n<p>Caveat emptor.</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>8 Lies That Have Fueled the AMC Entertainment Pump-and-Dump Scheme</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\">\n8 Lies That Have Fueled the AMC Entertainment Pump-and-Dump Scheme\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-12 21:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/12/8-lies-that-fueled-the-amc-pump-and-dump-scheme/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There's arguably been no hotter stock on the planet in 2021 than movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC).

This might sound like a feel-good story whereby retail is finally exacting its revenge on Wall Street, but the reality is that AMC has become a battleground pump-and-dump scheme driven higher almost entirely by the misinformation and lies spread by its retail investors.\nWhile I've previously covered some aspects of the misinformation campaign used as the foundation for the rally in AMC's stock, below are the eight most pervasive lies that have fueled this pump-and-dump scheme.\nLie No. 1: Hedge fund short-selling bankrupts companies\nThe whopper of all lies exchanged on message boards and via YouTube is the idea that hedge fund short-selling is somehow responsible for bankrupting businesses.\nThe reality is that the operating performance of a company determines whether or not it thrives or goes under. There are plenty of companies whose share prices are under $1 that aren't bankrupt, and there are companies with share prices north of $1 that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection. Investors who choose to buy or short-sell stock are simply betting on an outcome. They don't control or influence how well or poorly the underlying business performs.\nPut another way, if I buy $1 billion worth of Apple stock tomorrow, I might help lift its share price, but I've not improved its sales or profit potential one iota. Likewise, if I short-sell Apple's stock tomorrow, I haven't hurt its sales potential or profitability at all. Why would this hypothetical scenario be any different with AMC? Hint: It's not.\nLie No. 2: Shorts have to cover\nAnother dose of misinformation from AMC's apes is that short sellers of the stock have to cover. Specifically, apes are implying that there's some level of urgency here and that the disorder from excessive covering will lead to the \"mother of all short squeezes.\"\nThe truth is that short-sellers \"have to cover\" as much as apes \"have\" to sell their position. In other words, short-sellers can cover their position at their leisure.\nWhat's more, hedge fund assets under management jumped to $4.07 trillion in June 2021, according to BarclayHedge. For short-covering to be disorderly, a massive wave of margin calls would need to come into play. Since the vast majority of hedge funds are diversified, and they have well over $4 trillion in assets in their sails, the chance of a margin call wave forcing short covering is virtually nonexistent.\nLie No. 3: The short squeeze is coming/around the corner\nJust as they teach every salesperson, creating a sense of urgency with customers (i.e., potential new investors) is important. Apes are constantly hyping the idea that a short squeeze is imminent, or at worst right around the corner. Unfortunately, it's been five months since this ongoing claim began making its rounds, and there's nothing these retail folks can say to substantiate it.\nAside from an institutional investor/hedge fund margin call wave being highly unlikely, history has also showed that short squeeze candidates have a poor track record of success. Earlier this year, I looked at the trailing three-month returns of 114 stocks with short interest above 20% and a market cap of at least $300 million. Only 9 of 114 stocks had gained 10% or more, while 94 of 114 had a negative three-month return.\nApes need fresh capital to keep this pump-and-dump scheme going, but the data clearly shows that short squeezes rarely pay off.\nLie No. 4: Fundamentals don't matter\nAMC's retail investors are also quick to dismiss anything having to do with concrete fundamental data. Whether it's the company's operating performance, industry ticket-sale trends, or AMC's balance sheet, they'll proudly proclaim it as FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and remind you this isn't a fundamental play. They do this because AMC's operating performance and balance sheet are nothing short of a horror movie, and they damage the misinformation campaign being put forward on social media and YouTube.\nI'll let you in on an investing secret that tenured investors know: Fundamentals always matter. Purposefully telling new investors to ignore fundamentals is like telling a used car buyer not to inspect the engine and just trust that everything is OK.\nFor instance, social media was buzzing about Washington Prime Group's short squeeze potential over the weekend of June 12 and 13. The company filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night (June 13), halving investors' stakes the following morning. The engine (fundamentals) drives the car; not the other way around.\nLie No. 5: Hedge funds control the mainstream media\nAMC's apes need to create the impression that anything negative said about their company's stock on television, radio, the internet, or print can't possibly be true, and telling the lie that hedge funds control the mainstream media (MSM) is the easiest way to accomplish that task. Again, this pump-and-dump scam needs fresh capital to keep moving higher, therefore presenting the media as evil is an easy way to try to rally new investors to the retail cause.\nBut, as is all-too-common with the ape agenda, it's devoid of fact.\nIt just so happens that Harvard University provided a painstakingly thorough look at MSM ownership for 176 of the most influential media companies/outlets in May 2021. The findings? Only five of the 176 outlets are controlled or majority-controlled by private hedge funds. Apes simply hate hearing bad things said about AMC and will go to any lengths necessary to obfuscate those facts, including lying about MSM.\nLie No. 6: \"You're obviously short\"\nTo build on the previous point, AMC's impassioned retail investors will also claim inherent ownership biases in the anchors, guests, authors, and so on, who rail against their stock. This is necessary to help recruit fresh capital to their cause by trying to create an \"us vs. them\" mentality.\nTo offer an example, I've personally been told on social media many dozens of times that I'm \"obviously short\" or \"clearly losing a lot of money\" because of the journalistic position I've taken on AMC. While I can't speak for any other company, I can proudly claim that my stock holdings are public information, and they're updated daily if I make a move. To boot, article disclosures state any positions I, and my company, have for any stock mentioned. This includes short positions, as well as any options ownership. The icing on the cake is that I also publicly announce my trading activity on Twitter.\nDespite this transparent information, apes constantly and falsely insinuate a financial interest when none exists.\nLie No. 7: BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC stock is bullish\nThis is one I find particularly amusing, because apes are more than willing to welcome institutional investors with open arms if they happen to own shares of AMC.\nRetail investors regularly use BlackRock's and Vanguard's ownership of AMC stock as a reason to promote optimism. However, this tells only a fraction of the real story. BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the largest institutional investment firms in the country, based on assets under management. As of their mid-May 13F filings, which detailed their holdings for the first quarter, BlackRock had close to 5,000 positions, with Vanguard chiming in with more than 4,000 positions. During Q1, BlackRock and Vanguard added to more than 3,900 and 3,200 of these stakes, respectively.\nPut another way, BlackRock and Vanguard have so many product offerings that they have a stake in virtually every stock listed in an index. Saying that BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC is bullish is akin to saying you bought shares of Ford stock because you like red paint.\nAs a percentage of shares outstanding, hedge fund and overall institutional ownership in AMC fell during the first quarter from the sequential fourth quarter. That's a fact!\nLie No. 8: Apes saved AMC\nThe eighth and final mammoth lie that AMC's retail investors rely on to coerce community compliance and bring in fresh capital is the idea that apes saved AMC. These folks genuinely believe that by purchasing shares of AMC they've somehow saved the company from going bankrupt.\nAs I discussed with the first lie on this list, buying and selling stock has absolutely no influence on how well or poorly a company performs from an operating standpoint. Even if apes were to buy every share in existence, AMC could still go bankrupt if its operating performance doesn't improve. And based on its 2027 bonds trading well below par, bondholders aren't convinced that things will improve enough to save the company.\nWhat really saves companies from bankruptcy is their operating performance and the actions of management. In AMC's case, selling hundreds of millions of shares of stock an issuing high-interest debt last year and in early January gave it the financial lifeline needed to survive the worst of the pandemic. That's not apes saving AMC; that's the company's actions extending a lifeline.\nIf anything, apes are purposely harming AMC by tying the hands of CEO Adam Aron and shooting down any additional opportunities for the company to raise capital and shore up its balance sheet.\nIf this list of lies shows anything, it's the lengths apes will go to manipulate AMC's share price. However, history is very clear that all pump-and-dump schemes end in disaster. That's not FUD. It's a practical guarantee.\nCaveat emptor.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":116491537,"gmtCreate":1622814537329,"gmtModify":1704191731165,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"HODL 500K","listText":"HODL 500K","text":"HODL 500K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/116491537","repostId":"1158033448","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1158033448","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":1622814046,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1158033448?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 21:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC shares turned from decline to rise 5%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1158033448","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"AMC shares turned from decline to rise 5% in Friday morning trading.","content":"<p>AMC shares turned from decline to rise&nbsp;5% in Friday morning trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd5b5fc8fe623133efc070ca40ee2be4\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That said, investors should aware that the company is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its share run-up, that was primarily orchestrated by the Reddit commmunity WallStreetBets (WSB).</p>\n<p>Many WSB traders publicly disclosed their identities while promoting the stock in the past six months, leading to them becoming prime targets for possible litigation or criminal investigations. Meanwhile, GameStop is taking advantage of the run-up to issue more stock at the expense of existing shareholders. Is the stock still a safe bet for potential investors?</p>\n<h2>The good news</h2>\n<p>GameStop had a spectacular quarter. In Q1 2021, the company closed down 12.7% of its roughly 4,000 stores in operations. Despite this, it managed to grow its sales by 25% year-over-year to $1.277 billion.</p>\n<p>At the same time, GameStop's operating loss narrowed to $21.6 million from $98.8 million a year ago. Thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime short squeeze, the company was able to offer additional equity to pay back all its debt and start afresh. It currently has more than $700 million in cash and investments on its balance sheet.</p>\n<h2>The bad news</h2>\n<p>After the earnings release, GameStop shares fell by as much as 27% in a single trading session. In addition, the company announced it would issue up to five million additional shares over a period of time, representing a dilution of up to 7% to its 70 million shares outstanding.</p>\n<p>That aside, there's the major risk of lawsuits against those involved in the coordinated \"pump and dump\" activities of the WSB community. Reddit user profiles of these traders are pretty much public. In fact, lawsuits have already been filed against prominent members of the community for allegedly promoting GameStop while the stock was at \"artificially high levels\".</p>\n<p>On June 9, the SEC announced it was probing GameStop concerning recent trading activities. While the investigation is still in its infancy, WSB members are growing increasingly concerned about legal and privacy issues from the fallout. The agency could potentially subpoena popular platforms like Reddit to access personal information/identities of members regarding their roles in the run-up. I believe this rapidly spreading fear, especially among those who are \"holding-on-for-dear-life\" (HODLers), is responsible for the sell-off.</p>\n<h2>What's next?</h2>\n<p>The same community that propped up GameStop's stock in a greed-fueled frenzy is equally capable of sending the shares crashing if fear takes center stage. While the company is generating solid growth, the company has a negative free cash flow of about $33.5 million per quarter, including a net cash outflow of nearly $19 million in operating activites. It's a noticeable improvement from $55.9 million negative FCF last year -- but still isn't good news yet. GameStop sold investors on the dream of a turnaround into an e-commerce giant and now has to live up to its reputation.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of uncertainty as to how profitable the new GameStop could be. Maybe its net margins will improve to 5% to 10%; perhaps it will hover around 0%, perhaps it will keep running at a loss for quite some time. After all, its gross margins actually fell 1.8 percentage points to 25.9% in Q1. Until the company can prove its new business model is working, it's probably better to look at retailers with both revenue growth and solid profitability instead.</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>Can You Still Count on GameStop Stock?</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\">\nCan You Still Count on GameStop Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 10:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/22/can-you-still-count-on-gamestop-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GameStop (NYSE:GME) reported impressive revenue growth in Q1 2021, crushing the narrative that it's a failing brick-and-mortar video game retailer with a bleak outlook.

In addition, the company announced it would issue up to five million additional shares over a period of time, representing a dilution of up to 7% to its 70 million shares outstanding.\nThat aside, there's the major risk of lawsuits against those involved in the coordinated \"pump and dump\" activities of the WSB community. Reddit user profiles of these traders are pretty much public. In fact, lawsuits have already been filed against prominent members of the community for allegedly promoting GameStop while the stock was at \"artificially high levels\".\nOn June 9, the SEC announced it was probing GameStop concerning recent trading activities. While the investigation is still in its infancy, WSB members are growing increasingly concerned about legal and privacy issues from the fallout. The agency could potentially subpoena popular platforms like Reddit to access personal information/identities of members regarding their roles in the run-up. I believe this rapidly spreading fear, especially among those who are \"holding-on-for-dear-life\" (HODLers), is responsible for the sell-off.\nWhat's next?\nThe same community that propped up GameStop's stock in a greed-fueled frenzy is equally capable of sending the shares crashing if fear takes center stage. While the company is generating solid growth, the company has a negative free cash flow of about $33.5 million per quarter, including a net cash outflow of nearly $19 million in operating activites. It's a noticeable improvement from $55.9 million negative FCF last year -- but still isn't good news yet. GameStop sold investors on the dream of a turnaround into an e-commerce giant and now has to live up to its reputation.\nThere is a lot of uncertainty as to how profitable the new GameStop could be. Maybe its net margins will improve to 5% to 10%; perhaps it will hover around 0%, perhaps it will keep running at a loss for quite some time. After all, its gross margins actually fell 1.8 percentage points to 25.9% in Q1. Until the company can prove its new business model is working, it's probably better to look at retailers with both revenue growth and solid profitability instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168308862,"gmtCreate":1623948669156,"gmtModify":1703824509355,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"REMEMBER AMC.

But can it match the action by<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(AMC)? Starting the year at just 2 a share,AMC stock has skyrocketed more than 36-foldto new all-time highs this past week.</p>\n<p>Shares at one point fell more than 30% on Thursday on news the company plans to sell up to 11.55 million shares — or roughly 2.6% of the total common shares outstanding. AMC later announced completion of the offering, raising $587 million. But in recent days, the stock is holding firm, and it's showing bullish inside action relative to some big daily moves over the past week.</p>\n<p>Given extraordinary gains since late May, is it perhaps time to take some profits off the table?&nbsp;After all, the May rally carries theelements of a climax run. Or is it a buy now?</p>\n<p>This story examines the fundamental, technical and fund ownership factors to determine if the Leawood, Kan., company scores a good probability of making money for stock traders.</p>\n<p>Consider this stat: Prior to Wednesday's giant gain, over just five sessions of trade (May 24 to 28), AMC obliterated the short sellers by rising as much as 203% to Friday's intraday peak of 36.72. AMC stock almost finished up 100% or more for a second straight week. Incredible.</p>\n<p>Following the long Memorial Day holiday weekend, AMC jammed nearly 23% higher Tuesday after the company announced an agreement to sell 8.5 million shares at $27.15 per share to Mudrick Capital. AMC said the proceeds would go toward strategic acquisitions of \"additional theatre leases, as well as investments to enhance the consumer appeal of AMC's existing theatres.\"</p>\n<p>Some of that money could also go toward paying down debt.</p>\n<p>AMC Stock: Do You Have An Exit Strategy?</p>\n<p>Some observers have expressed concern over the company's huge debt load ($5.4 billion in borrowings due one year from now or longer, as of March 31) vs. total assets ($10.5 billion) on the balance sheet.</p>\n<p>On May 24, shares rallied more than 13% despite news that its heretofore largest shareholder, China's Wanda Group, has sold most of its remaining shares in AMC.</p>\n<p>Earlier this year, WallStreetBets chat-room traders on Reddit joined in unison in buying shares and bullish call options in AMC stock. They did the same in a band of other companies that had been heavily sold short and struggling. If you were watching or trading<b>GameStop</b>(GME), you likely were also keeping close tabs on AMC Entertainment.</p>\n<p>Are The Shorts Covering AMC Stock?</p>\n<p>When a stock shows ahigh level of short interestand is getting bid up, you can almost count on a chain reaction of buying to occur. Why? Short sellers, betting on a decline in the stock, often have to do an about-face. They cover their short position by buying back shares.</p>\n<p>According to the latest data analyzed byMarketSmith, theshort interest— or shares sold short by individual and professional investors —&nbsp; is currently 0.7 times AMC stock's daily average volume of 132 million shares, or roughly 92 million shares. That's equivalent to 20% of the stock's entire float — huge. However, that amount may be skewed by the dramatic rise in daily share turnover.</p>\n<p>Still, short sellers had clearly been betting big on a future decline.</p>\n<p>TheInvestor's Business Daily teamwill keep close watch for any signs that short interest has dropped lately.</p>\n<p>Since late January, AMC stock has followed an extreme zigzag path.&nbsp;Just two weeks after that 20.36 peak, AMC crashed. Shares fell to as low as 5.26. Then came a huge second wave of buying, sending shares back in the low teens.</p>\n<p>Week to week, the stock (pumping its market value back up to $25 billion, 450.3 million shares outstanding and a float of 441.3 million) has lately seen its overall price range narrow. That's good as thenew base formed.</p>\n<p>Will AMC Stock Keep Rallying In The Long Term?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e13c3bc5de41e6ab81d88a5d9e269528\" tg-width=\"831\" tg-height=\"454\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Without a doubt, investors long in AMC are betting on a turnaround in fortunes.</p>\n<p>In 2020, AMC lost $16.15 a share. Over the past five quarters, the company's sales have shrunk 22% to as much as 99% vs. year-ago levels. Such results would normally devastate most companies.</p>\n<p>But as movie theaters open across the country and boost seating capacity, Wall Street is banking on a tremendous rebound in the top line.</p>\n<p>Analysts polled by FactSet offer a consensus estimate of $375 million in second-quarter sales, up 1,884% from a minuscule $18.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Then they see sales rising an additional 561% in Q3 to $790 million and 575% in Q4 to $1.1 billion.</p>\n<p>Wall Street expects net losses of $3.33 a share for 2021, a far cry from the unadjusted $39.15 it lost last year. And the Street sees net losses shrinking further in 2022, to 96 cents a share. Both estimates have gotten revised slightly upward, a bullish sign.</p>\n<p>With big sales expected to arrive, you can expect cash flows to greatly improve.</p>\n<p>Key IBD Ratings</p>\n<p>The last time AMC paid a dividend came on March 23, 2020, at 3 cents per common share. If the company were to resume this cash payout, shareholders could attain an annualized 0.9% yield at the current price near 14 a share.</p>\n<p>For now, AMC scores poorly in many of IBD's proprietary ratings. Headed into Monday's trading, they include a 22Earnings Per Share Ratingon a scale of 1 to 99; an E for Sales + Profit Margins + Return on Equity (SMR) Rating; and a 56Composite Ratingon a scale of 1 (wizened) to 99 (wizardly).</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, AMC's movies industry group ranks in the top half of IBD's197 industry groupsin terms of six-month relative performance. Decent, but not outstanding. Mutual funds owning a stake in AMC rose to 203 at the end of March vs. 186 in Q4 of 2020. Some portfolio managers are eager to accumulate shares.</p>\n<p>AMC Stock Forecast</p>\n<p>When choosing growth stocks for the biggest potential gains based on theCAN SLIM investment paradigm, your chances of finding a true market leader improve when you focus on those with aComposite Ratingof 90 or higher. Shooting for a 95 or higher, particularly at the start of a new bull market, is even better.</p>\n<p>However, given that AMC stock is a turnaround play, it makes sense to place more emphasis on relative strength. AMC has that in spades.</p>\n<p>A 99Relative Strength Ratingon a scale of 1 to 99 means that the company has outperformed 99% of all stocks in the IBD database. Strong long-term performance? Indeed.The Accumulation/Distribution Rating, meanwhile, has jumped to a best-possible A+ grade on a scale of A to E.</p>\n<p>Plus, notice on the weekly chart and inMarketSmith, how therelative strength linehas been vaulting.</p>\n<p>The RS line, drawn in blue, compares a stock or ETF's moves vs. the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>When a stock breaks out of anew base, prefer to see the RS line also running to new high ground. This means that a stock is now outperforming the general market.</p>\n<p>In essence, AMC created a boxy cup-like base over the past two months. That's plenty of time for asolid cup patternto form. This pattern produces aproper buy pointof 10 cents above the cup's left-side peak of 14.54 on March 18. So in AMC stock's case, thecorrect entrystood at 14.64. You want to see heavy volume on the breakout.</p>\n<p>Conclusion: Is It A Buy Now? Or A Sell?</p>\n<p>In effect,AMC stockhas staged astrong breakouttwice last week.</p>\n<p>First, AMC had to surpass 14.64 before becoming a new buy. The May 18 attempt was short-lived. However, a 20% gain on May 25 sent shares zooming past theproper buy point.</p>\n<p>The5% buy zonegoes up to 15.37, so the stock quickly got extended.</p>\n<p>As always, control your risk. Not all breakouts work, especially when thestock market uptrend is under pressure. The best time to buy?

AMC has struggled during the pandemic and remains burdened with a high debt load which likely will cause quite some issues down the road. There are some signs of a recovery as vaccinations continue, allowing capacities to increase, but the revenue recovery picture is too prolonged.</p>\n<p>AMC's 13 theaters in NYC were finally&nbsp;reopened&nbsp;in early March after the state paved the way for reopening under the premises of 25% capacity or max 50 people per screen, later increased to the lesser of either 33% or 100 guests per screen.Attendance&nbsp;domestically remains down over 80% due in part to these restrictions (internationally over 97%), and higher vaccination rates and further reopening and lightening of capacity restrictions does pave the way for attendance growth. AMC is operating practically all of its domestic theaters at capacities ranging from 15% to 60%, so there remains more room for attendance figures to grow.</p>\n<p>The company sees that it is \"looking at an increasingly favorable environment for movie-going\" as these restrictions lighten alongside \"the arrival of long awaited new movie title releases.\"<i>Godzilla vs. Kong</i>'s strong box office performance points to pent-up demand for movie attendance and matinee showings, with more titles expected later in the year.</p>\n<p>Signs of pent-up demand and easing restrictions give a positive timeline for revenues to continue their recovery, as the prior two quarters' revenue amounts were near one-tenth of pre-pandemic levels. However, broader industry trends point to box office stagnation in the face of streaming content wars. Box office ticket sales, shown in the first graph below, have been on a downward trend since 2002, while box office revenues in North America, show in the second graph below, have grown at a slow pace and have actually declined since 2002 on an inflation-adjusted basis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae9856f5dcf6f223d9b4c25b4dcaf539\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"442\"><span>Graphic fromStatista</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db30c09c02634e8a6a6b8128edf874a1\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"743\"><span>Graphic fromStatista</span></p>\n<p>The overall pace of revenue growth at the box office is slow, thus a recovery will likely be extremely prolonged even as restrictions ease. Streaming has played a larger role in the split between box office and at-home watching, with content on a platform like Disney+ having shorter exclusivity windows in theaters, at 45 days instead of 90. Even though AMC could be finding some higher market share domestically against competition like Cinemark (CNK) and Cineworld (OTCPK:CNNWF), the three don't yet have an answer to competition from streaming, with Disney+ and HBO Max among the main threats, with Warner Bros.debuting all new titles&nbsp;for 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max the same day.</p>\n<p>Financially, AMC continues to be burdened down by a high debt load, and faces a&nbsp;high annualized interest expense&nbsp;alongside other factors that could impact its ability to operate on a long-term horizon and raise the probability for further dilution or even Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the 2025 notes near maturity.</p>\n<p>AMC continues to dilute to raise capital, with the most recent&nbsp;43 million share offering&nbsp;raising $428 million, boosting near-term liquidity far past $1 billion with implied cash on hand around $1.2 billion. AMC also brought in over $600 million through the Odeon term loan as well as the toggle notes due in 2026. While this is an improvement to the balance sheet in terms of liquidity, high interest expenses, a wide shareholder deficit, and cash outflow for continuing operations increase probability of more dilution and raise red flags down the road.</p>\n<p>Even with the paydown in&nbsp;corporate borrowings, bringing the total down to $5.44 billion from nearly $5.7 billion in December, interest expense on these borrowings has doubled as AMC was forced to borrow at higher rates due to its fragile balance sheet. Interest expense for corporate borrowings during Q1 more than doubled from $71.3 million to $151.5 million, with $70 million in non-cash and $52.7 million in PIK interest expense.</p>\n<p>This puts AMC at an annualized rate of $600 million in interest expenses, which would leave it in a precarious position if that is the case - even if AMC can return to full strength by year-end 2022/2023, it has not shown an ability to generate that much cash from operations, reaching just $579 million in 2019. This could make it difficult to keep paying down and reducing the debt load while balancing higher interest payments each quarter. With a cash outflow north of $300 million for the quarter, a significant cash raise is likely to be needed before the end of the year. Consecutive losses of this degree through the year (likely for the remaining quarters this fiscal year) will cause a large dent to liquidity.</p>\n<p>AMC has just about 30 million shares authorized but not yet issued, so it still can some cash through at the market offerings. If a short squeeze drives the price higher, then it is much more likely that AMC will look to hold another offering to add more cash and secure a higher price per share. However, once those shares are issued, AMC's need for cash will likely be satiated through debt/notes, of which it will have to face double-digit interest rates on. Management did look to&nbsp;increase authorized share count&nbsp;by 500 million to 1.024 billion, but withdrew the proposal at the annual shareholder meeting.</p>\n<p>AMC's&nbsp;debt swap last summer&nbsp;to reduce debt and stave off bankruptcy saw the company take on a 10/12% PIK due in 2026, and the two capital raises in Q1 are at similar and higher interest rates. The&nbsp;Odeon term loan&nbsp;due in 2023 has a 10.75% rate the first year and 11.25% until maturity, while the&nbsp;PIK&nbsp;is at a 15%/17% cash/PIK rate, with the interest being solely in cash from July 2022 through maturity. Any future notes or loans are likely to be at high rates like these, so interest expense could remain elevated for multiple quarters or years until these notes start to mature. This could increase the probability of bankruptcy down the line, in 2023 or later, if AMC cannot find the cash to repay some of these non-convertible notes after years of high interest payments.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>At the end of the day, not every investor is buying shares for the sole purpose of the short squeeze, and it's important to keep in mind that a short squeeze does not improve the fundamentals of the company (aside from cash raise potential) or the stagnation of the theater industry. While the squeeze does offer a substantial degree of returns, it could happen quickly or erode into a mania-like state and be prone to flash crashes, much like GameStop.</p>\n<p>AMC isn't the only player in the industry with a high short interest, with peer Cinemark seeing its short interest above 20%, signalling that the reason behind the shorts, i.e. more dilution driving shares lower, failure to raise capital to operate, and higher probabilities of bankruptcy, could be quite valid. However, Cinemark isn't in quite as bad a situation as AMC is financially - while it does have nearly 5x debt/cash, it does not have a shareholder deficit, nor rising interest expenses to the same degree, and 180 million more shares available to issue (~150% of total outstanding).</p>\n<p>However, the struggles across the industry during the recovery and in the face of competition from streaming do not look promising. AMC is running out of shares to issue to raise cash, and faces double-digit interest rates if it turns to notes; while it does have over $1 billion in current liquidity, that could evaporate quickly with the current cash outflow and interest expense rate. The rebound in attendance and revenues is likely to take years, while the overall industry saw declining ticket sales and bumpy box office revenues for over a decade as streaming service competition heats up. While a short squeeze has nothing to do with and no impact on the fundamentals, AMC's financial situation looks to set it up for more issues down the road, possibly including bankruptcy in a few years.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

While a short squeeze has nothing to do with and no impact on the fundamentals, AMC's financial situation looks to set it up for more issues down the road, possibly including bankruptcy in a few years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013881366,"gmtCreate":1648702261814,"gmtModify":1676534382960,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bcos CRIME.&nbsp;","listText":"Bcos CRIME.&nbsp;","text":"Bcos CRIME.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9013881366","repostId":"2223338815","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9090677252,"gmtCreate":1643180855899,"gmtModify":1676533782606,"author":{"id":"3581886399872672","authorId":"3581886399872672","name":"HFZFX","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581886399872672","authorIdStr":"3581886399872672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Are SHF shorting the wrong stocks?
