Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, told MarketWatch in emailed comments on Sunday.</p>\n<p>\"As far as the markets go, we'll have to wait and see on the longer-term implications,\" he said.</p>\n<p>Futures, however, were tilting lower, with those for the S&amp;P 500 , the Dow and the Nasdaq-100 all showing modest declines, but hardly indicating that the market's bull run amid COVID-19 was in jeopardy.</p>\n<p>The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield was at 1.27% late Sunday in New York, attracting some haven bids, with prices of government debt rising and yields moving in the opposite direction.</p>\n<p>Taliban fighters took over Kabul , fearing retaliation in the new regime.</p>\n<p>President Joe Biden has rushed 5,000 troops to Kabul .</p>\n<p>The U.S. presence in Afghanistan, spanning the tenures of Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Biden, started following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and is now considered the U.S.'s longest military conflict, surpassing World War I, World War II and the Korean War combined .</p>\n<p>Biden's decision to remove troops from Afghanistan came after Trump's concessions to withdraw U.S. forces , had made the case that it would destabilize the tenuous Afghanistan leadership, leaving it vulnerable to insurgent groups.</p>\n<p>For the most part, stock-market investors have been mostly sanguine amid the long-running conflict that has cost an estimated $2.261 trillion, according to research from Brown University's Watson Institute of International Public Affairs , which also estimates that 241,000 people have died as a direct result of the war.</p>\n<p>The Dow is up by nearly 270%, the S&amp;P 500 has gained more than 300% and the Nasdaq Composite has climbed more than 700% since the fall of 2001.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/502f052f480a29bd870006528642c220\" tg-width=\"1064\" tg-height=\"648\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>It's worth noting that the benchmark 10-year was yielding between 4% and 5% around that time.</p>\n<p>Historically, military conflict doesn't always have an impact on stocks, and war's influence, if any, on investors' psyches isn't always clear-cut. The context and economic and market environments are often a bigger driver.</p>\n<p>The U.S. was already in the throes of a recession when the attacks of 9/11 hit and the market initially dipped sharply after the attacks.</p>\n<p>Markets currently are attempting to claw back from the hit caused by COVID-19 and the spread of the delta variant, with questions about the policy plans by the Federal Reserve, and other central banks, at the front of investors' minds.</p>\n<p>Still, military aggressions may result in some investors turning to bets on defense contractors, which could see a boost if the animosities flare up.</p>\n<p>Northrop Grumman Corp.'s stock <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOC\">$(NOC)$</a> is up nearly 880% and Lockeed Martin Corp.'s shares <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LMT\">$(LMT)$</a> are up 834% since 2001, while Boeing Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BA\">$(BA)$</a> is up 439%, and General Dynamics Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GD\">$(GD)$</a> is up over 422%, all of which outperformed the broader market during that period.</p>\n<p>So far this year, Lockheed's stock is underperforming the broader market, up 0.9%, as is Boeing's, which has gained 9.5% in the year to date.</p>\n<p>One popular way to play defense contractors broadly is the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ITA\">$(ITA)$</a> exchange-traded fund, which was created in 2006 and is up 13.7% in 2021 thus far. The SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XAR.UK\">$(XAR.UK)$</a>, which kicked off in 2011, is up 7% year to date.</p>\n<p>Overall, strategists had already been warning about the possibility of a correction as concerns about peak earnings and economic growth grow and many analysts see the Afghan escalation as simply adding to a wall of worry.</p>\n<p>TDAmeritrade's Kinahan said that we \"should see a lift in volatility, and perhaps some fixed-income purchasing, as this puts an element of uncertainty into the market.\"</p>\n<p>But don't be surprised if the market's reaction to the possibility of military tensions is counterintuitive, as Ben Carlson, portfolio manager at Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, has written in the past about the market's sometimes odd reaction to war , summing it up thusly.</p>\n<p>\"Markets don't always respond to geopolitical events the way you think.\"</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, told MarketWatch in emailed comments on Sunday.\n\"As far as the markets go, we'll have to wait and see on the longer-term implications,\" he said.\nFutures, however, were tilting lower, with those for the S&P 500 , the Dow and the Nasdaq-100 all showing modest declines, but hardly indicating that the market's bull run amid COVID-19 was in jeopardy.\nThe benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield was at 1.27% late Sunday in New York, attracting some haven bids, with prices of government debt rising and yields moving in the opposite direction.\nTaliban fighters took over Kabul , fearing retaliation in the new regime.\nPresident Joe Biden has rushed 5,000 troops to Kabul .\nThe U.S. presence in Afghanistan, spanning the tenures of Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Biden, started following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and is now considered the U.S.'s longest military conflict, surpassing World War I, World War II and the Korean War combined .\nBiden's decision to remove troops from Afghanistan came after Trump's concessions to withdraw U.S. forces , had made the case that it would destabilize the tenuous Afghanistan leadership, leaving it vulnerable to insurgent groups.\nFor the most part, stock-market investors have been mostly sanguine amid the long-running conflict that has cost an estimated $2.261 trillion, according to research from Brown University's Watson Institute of International Public Affairs , which also estimates that 241,000 people have died as a direct result of the war.\nThe Dow is up by nearly 270%, the S&P 500 has gained more than 300% and the Nasdaq Composite has climbed more than 700% since the fall of 2001.\n\nIt's worth noting that the benchmark 10-year was yielding between 4% and 5% around that time.\nHistorically, military conflict doesn't always have an impact on stocks, and war's influence, if any, on investors' psyches isn't always clear-cut. The context and economic and market environments are often a bigger driver.\nThe U.S. was already in the throes of a recession when the attacks of 9/11 hit and the market initially dipped sharply after the attacks.\nMarkets currently are attempting to claw back from the hit caused by COVID-19 and the spread of the delta variant, with questions about the policy plans by the Federal Reserve, and other central banks, at the front of investors' minds.\nStill, military aggressions may result in some investors turning to bets on defense contractors, which could see a boost if the animosities flare up.\nNorthrop Grumman Corp.'s stock $(NOC)$ is up nearly 880% and Lockeed Martin Corp.'s shares $(LMT)$ are up 834% since 2001, while Boeing Co. $(BA)$ is up 439%, and General Dynamics Corp. $(GD)$ is up over 422%, all of which outperformed the broader market during that period.\nSo far this year, Lockheed's stock is underperforming the broader market, up 0.9%, as is Boeing's, which has gained 9.5% in the year to date.\nOne popular way to play defense contractors broadly is the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense $(ITA)$ exchange-traded fund, which was created in 2006 and is up 13.7% in 2021 thus far. The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF $(XAR.UK)$, which kicked off in 2011, is up 7% year to date.\nOverall, strategists had already been warning about the possibility of a correction as concerns about peak earnings and economic growth grow and many analysts see the Afghan escalation as simply adding to a wall of worry.\nTDAmeritrade's Kinahan said that we \"should see a lift in volatility, and perhaps some fixed-income purchasing, as this puts an element of uncertainty into the market.\"\nBut don't be surprised if the market's reaction to the possibility of military tensions is counterintuitive, as Ben Carlson, portfolio manager at Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, has written in the past about the market's sometimes odd reaction to war , summing it up thusly.\n\"Markets don't always respond to geopolitical events the way you think.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806555703,"gmtCreate":1627683699402,"gmtModify":1703494523883,"author":{"id":"3581912688744878","authorId":"3581912688744878","name":"watertreader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e692635d2c361bfa5e3bdbf8e840972","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3581912688744878","idStr":"3581912688744878"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad","listText":"Bad","text":"Bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806555703","repostId":"2155159451","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155159451","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1627656165,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155159451?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-30 22:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Daimler to keep 35% stake in trucks spin-off as separation nears","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155159451","media":"Reuters","summary":"FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Daimler will keep a 35% stake in the trucks division it plans to spin off later","content":"<p>FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Daimler will keep a 35% stake in the trucks division it plans to spin off later this year, the luxury carmaker said on Friday, unveiling more details about the landmark corporate split announced earlier this year.</p>\n<p>The spinoff of Daimler Truck Holding AG as a separate listed entity will be voted on by Daimler shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting on Oct. 1.

Adobe Systems</h2>\n<p>A digital-first business model is no longer optional -- it's a necessity. Each year, more consumers shop online, connect through social media, and engage with mobile apps, and they expect a high-quality experience across every touchpoint. Fortunately, Adobe has the tools to make that happen.</p>\n<p>Adobe is best known for its digital media business, which comprises two platforms. The first is Adobe Creative Cloud, a software suite that includes industry-leading products like Photoshop&nbsp;for image editing, Illustrator&nbsp;for graphics, and InDesign&nbsp;for digital publishing.</p>\n<p>The second is Adobe Document Cloud, a suite that enables clients to create, edit, share, and sign digital documents. Collectively, these tools drive efficiency by eliminating costly paper-based processes.</p>\n<p>Beyond digital media, Adobe also offers a third platform: Adobe <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a> Cloud. This software helps clients with analytics, marketing, and commerce, making it possible to collect data, target content, and deliver engaging experiences across digital touchpoints. Notably, research company <b>Gartner</b>&nbsp;has recognized Adobe as a leader in this category.</p>\n<p>With this impressive arsenal of products, the company has delivered strong financial results like clockwork in recent years.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q2 2018 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q2 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$8.1 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$14.4 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>21%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Free cash flow</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$3.3 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$6.6 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>26%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Ycharts.

Instead, pay attention to secular trends, and look for companies that could benefit over the long term.\nFor instance, Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) is powering digital transformation, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is revolutionizing the automotive industry. More importantly, both should continue to benefit from these unstoppable trends in the years ahead.\nHere's what you should know.\nImage source: Getty Images\n1. Adobe Systems\nA digital-first business model is no longer optional -- it's a necessity. Each year, more consumers shop online, connect through social media, and engage with mobile apps, and they expect a high-quality experience across every touchpoint. Fortunately, Adobe has the tools to make that happen.\nAdobe is best known for its digital media business, which comprises two platforms. The first is Adobe Creative Cloud, a software suite that includes industry-leading products like Photoshop for image editing, Illustrator for graphics, and InDesign for digital publishing.\nThe second is Adobe Document Cloud, a suite that enables clients to create, edit, share, and sign digital documents. Collectively, these tools drive efficiency by eliminating costly paper-based processes.\nBeyond digital media, Adobe also offers a third platform: Adobe Experience Cloud. This software helps clients with analytics, marketing, and commerce, making it possible to collect data, target content, and deliver engaging experiences across digital touchpoints. Notably, research company Gartner has recognized Adobe as a leader in this category.\nWith this impressive arsenal of products, the company has delivered strong financial results like clockwork in recent years.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ2 2018 (TTM)\nQ2 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$8.1 billion\n$14.4 billion\n21%\n\n\nFree cash flow\n$3.3 billion\n$6.6 billion\n26%\n\n\n\nData source: Ycharts. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nLooking ahead, the bull case for this company is straightforward: Adobe has built a trusted brand and established itself as a leader in several software verticals. As more enterprises adopt digital-first strategies, Adobe should benefit from strong demand.\nWith that in mind, management puts the company's market opportunity at $147 billion by 2023, leaving plenty of room for Adobe to grow its business. That's why this tech company looks like a smart buy.\nImage source: Tesla\n2. Tesla\nThe electric vehicle (EV) market is growing quickly. Last year, global EV sales surged 41% to 3.1 million units, representing 4.6% of all cars sold. Despite that furious pace of adoption, Tesla managed to boost production and maintain its industry-leading position, capturing 16% market share in 2020.\nAt the same time, Tesla posted an industry-leading operating margin of 6.3% last year, showcasing the scalability of its manufacturing process. In fact, between 2017 and 2021, the company's average cost per vehicle dropped from $84,000 to $38,000 as it increased output in the U.S. and ramped production China.\nBut this disruptor is just getting started. Tesla recently purchased the largest die casting machine in the world. And in early 2021, it started making the rear body of the Model Y as a single piece of metal, cutting labor costs by combining 70 different components into one. But here's the most impressive part: To accomplish that feat, Tesla invented and patented new aluminum alloys, since existing options made poor substrates for die casting.\nNot surprisingly, Tesla has delivered impressive financial results in recent years.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ2 2018 (TTM)\nQ2 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$13.7 billion\n$41.9 billion\n45%\n\n\nGross profit margin\n14.4%\n22%\nN/A\n\n\n\nSource: Ycharts. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nDuring the Q2 earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said Gigafactory Texas and Berlin will use single-piece casting for both the front and rear bodies of the Model Y. In other words, Tesla is pressing its advantage. And as these factories come online later in 2021, the company should reap the benefits of increased production capacity and manufacturing efficiency.\nThat's why now looks like a good time to buy this growth stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839694241,"gmtCreate":1629155528883,"gmtModify":1676529945313,"author":{"id":"3581912688744878","authorId":"3581912688744878","name":"watertreader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e692635d2c361bfa5e3bdbf8e840972","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581912688744878","authorIdStr":"3581912688744878"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Fearsome","listText":"Fearsome","text":"Fearsome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839694241","repostId":"2159246902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2159246902","pubTimestamp":1629082874,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2159246902?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-16 11:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What the collapse of the Afghan government might mean for the U.S. stock market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2159246902","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"After 20 years in the shadows, the Taliban have returned to power in Afghanistan, raising questions ","content":"<p>After 20 years in the shadows, the Taliban have returned to power in Afghanistan, raising questions about stability in the Middle East and stoking some potential unrest in U.S. financial markets, amid a weekend that was rife with political developments.</p>\n<p>However, the impact to the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average , the S&amp;P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite Index trading at or near record highs , is unclear.</p>\n<p>\"It's a terrible situation for those U.S. folks who are still there,\" J.J.

The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF $(XAR.UK)$, which kicked off in 2011, is up 7% year to date.\nOverall, strategists had already been warning about the possibility of a correction as concerns about peak earnings and economic growth grow and many analysts see the Afghan escalation as simply adding to a wall of worry.\nTDAmeritrade's Kinahan said that we \"should see a lift in volatility, and perhaps some fixed-income purchasing, as this puts an element of uncertainty into the market.\"\nBut don't be surprised if the market's reaction to the possibility of military tensions is counterintuitive, as Ben Carlson, portfolio manager at Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, has written in the past about the market's sometimes odd reaction to war , summing it up thusly.\n\"Markets don't always respond to geopolitical events the way you think.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839697875,"gmtCreate":1629155574497,"gmtModify":1676529945330,"author":{"id":"3581912688744878","authorId":"3581912688744878","name":"watertreader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e692635d2c361bfa5e3bdbf8e840972","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581912688744878","authorIdStr":"3581912688744878"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839697875","repostId":"2159193222","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":193,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806555703,"gmtCreate":1627683699402,"gmtModify":1703494523883,"author":{"id":"3581912688744878","authorId":"3581912688744878","name":"watertreader","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e692635d2c361bfa5e3bdbf8e840972","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581912688744878","authorIdStr":"3581912688744878"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad","listText":"Bad","text":"Bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806555703","repostId":"2155159451","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
