Great ariticle, would you like to share it?

@BenjiFuji:The Best Hedge against conflict With the recent Hamas Israel war breaking out, it seems that we will need to bet for the 22nd century to be a peaceful one instead. That is provided both you and I are around to see it. [LOL] Jokes aside, given this uncertainty, with oil prices going north, conflict in Israel, US inflation, Fed interest rates, China property going down, what should we invest in? One level of thinking Investing in Gold or gold related stocks such as $Barrick Gold Corp(GOLD)$ would seem to be rationale thing. After all, the greater the uncertainty, the higher gold will climb. After all, doesn't the governments around the world horde gold? Another level would be to look into Oil related and Defence related stocks

Lately, there has been an abundance of communication from Fed members discussing the need to “taper” its monetary interventions.\nAs Morgan Stanley recently noted:\n\n“If the July FOMC minutes suggest that there was strong consensus and Chair Powell’s indication on tapering at Jackson Hole is therefore much firmer, we could see that as consistent with the FOMC gearing up to move on tapering sooner.”\n\nSuch is something the markets are probably not ready for.\nSo far, market participants have ignored weakening economic data, the collapse of Afghanistan, and rising risks of infections across the U.S. As long as the Fed is engaged in providing liquidity, the “risk of missing out” outweighs being more conservative with allocations.\nHowever, the Fed remains trapped between two very tough policy choices.\nThe system has elevated inflation levels, as indicated by the spread between the PPI and CPI inflation measures.Currently, with PPI at the highest spread to CPI in history, it suggests producers can’t pass on costs to customers. Such equates to weaker profit margins and earnings in the future.However, if they elect to pass those costs onto consumers, such will raise living costs well above wages.\nWith unemployment levels dropping, and inflation rising, the Fed should be tapering monetary policy.\nHowever, the reduction in liquidity will trigger a decline in asset prices, hinder consumer confidence, and contract economic growth further.\nIt’s a tough choice.\nConclusion\nWe agree with Morgan Stanley’s assessment on the likely path of “taper” when it comes.\n\n“\nThe path of least resistance is to follow the path most traveled, that is, the playbook established in the last cycle when the Fed began to reduce its purchases of longer-term assets following the 2013 taper tantrum.\n That playbook included a long lead-time to signal the start, a promise that tapering would be gradual and flexible,\n and assurances to the market that tapering would have nothing to do with the timing of first rate hike.\n Indeed, the Fed did not first raise rates until six months following the end of tapering.”\n\nWhile such is undoubtedly the path of least resistance, it is unlikely the market will like it much.

In fact, his stock-picking record is so good, he's one of the wealthiest people on the planet. His success suggests that keeping track of the stocks he purchases for his investment company,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)&nbsp;could be smart. Fortunately, Berkshire Hathaway discloses the stocks it owns to the Securities and Exchange Commission every quarter in a report known as a 13-F.</p>\n<p>The latest 13-F was released this week, and in it, we learn Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio consists of 48 stocks, including three stocks it bought in the second quarter and one stock it received as a spinoff from one of its existing holdings. Among them were a major grocery-store chain, a luxury retailer known for lavish locations, an insurer, and a generic-drug maker focusing on women's health. Read on to find out if these four stocks are right for your portfolio, too.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02a20c1493f773d10c8893709b315327\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1296\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.</span></p>\n<p><b>The stocks Buffett bought</b></p>\n<p>As I mentioned, the Oracle of Omaha didn't find anything new to add to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. Instead, Berkshire Hathaway added to existing positions in&nbsp;<b>Kroger</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:KR),<b>RH</b>(NYSE:RH), and&nbsp;<b>Aon</b>(NYSE:AON). It also received shares in&nbsp;<b>Organon</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:OGN)&nbsp;when&nbsp;<b>Merck</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:MRK)&nbsp;spun it off on June 3. Berkshire already held the healthcare giant in its portfolio.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/878962514c10f2daf4aa5e75e0f77961\" tg-width=\"1151\" tg-height=\"374\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data source: Berkshire Hathaway.</span></p>\n<p><b>Betting on a turnaround</b></p>\n<p>Kroger's come a long way since 2017, when low margins and costly expansion plans caused its shares to tumble nearly 50% from its highs in 2016. Since then, a plan including cost-cutting, a renewed focus on its core grocery business, and e-commerce has turned things around, causing its share price to more than double.</p>\n<p>Last summer, Kroger&nbsp;accounted for only 0.37%&nbsp;of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, but Berkshire now owns 61.8 million shares worth $2.4 billion, representing 0.81% of its portfolio. That's large enough for it to rank as Berkshire Hathaway's 15th largest position.</p>\n<p>So far, Buffett's bet on Kroger is paying off. Kroger's digital sales have tripled since 2019, and in its recent earnings conference call, management said strong demand for premium products contributed to better-than-expected earnings. As a result, Kroger&nbsp;increased&nbsp;its full-year fiscal 2021 EPS target to above $2.95, it authorized a new $1 billion stock-repurchase program, and it boosted its dividend payout by 17% to $0.21 per share, giving it a forward yield of 1.9%.</p>\n<p><b>Home prices are helping this retailer's sales soar</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also increased its position in RH, formerly Restoration Hardware. Last quarter, Buffett's team added over 35,000 shares in the luxury retailer, bringing total ownership in the company to 8.5%.</p>\n<p>RH has benefited from significant tailwinds in the past year. COVID-driven homebuying trends, such as owning rather than renting and second home purchases, have caused home prices to increase significantly because of limited supply, unlocking demand for RH's products, including luxury furnishings. Meanwhile, higher wages and stimulus payments have boosted savings and disposable income, increasing consumer spending.</p>\n<p>In its fiscal quarter ending in April, RH's top-line sales&nbsp;grew 78%&nbsp;year over year to $861 million, and EPS of $4.89 increased an eye-popping 285% from the same quarter last year. Those results prompted management to tell investors in June it expects to be net debt-free later this year.</p>\n<p>RH expects its full fiscal year sales growth will be above 25%, up from prior estimates for growth of at least 15%, but that outlook could change when it reports its next quarterly update on Sept. 9.</p>\n<p><b>A unique way to play risk</b></p>\n<p>If COVID has taught us anything, it's that the unexpected ought to be expected. Perhaps that's one reason Berkshire Hathaway has been stockpiling shares of Aon, the world's second largest insurance broker.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway came into the second quarter owning over 4 million shares in Aon, and it added almost 300,000 shares during the quarter, making Aon its 24th largest position. A lot has happened to Aon since Buffett was buying in Q2, though.</p>\n<p>Last year, Aon announced plans to merge with Willis Towers Watson, the third largest insurance broker, in a $30 billion deal. However, the U.S. Department of Justice&nbsp;filed suit&nbsp;in June to block the merger, citing anticompetitive risks, and Aon&nbsp;abandoned&nbsp;its merger plans in July.</p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether Buffett was hoping for the merger to proceed or fail, so it will be important to keep an eye on what happens with his Aon shares in the third quarter. Unfortunately, we won't know if he's a buyer or seller until Berkshire Hathaway's next 13-F report is released in November.</p>\n<p><b>Can 1+1=3?</b></p>\n<p>The final stock Berkshire Hathaway bought in the second quarter was also the only stock that was new to the portfolio in the period, Organon. Berkshire Hathaway came to hold its Organon shares when Merck&nbsp;spun it off&nbsp;in June.</p>\n<p>Organon's product lineup consists of biosimilars and a slate of women's health drugs Merck developed, including contraceptives NuvaRing and Nexplanon. The spinoff was orchestrated to jettison noncore assets and unlock value for Merck investors.</p>\n<p>The company reported second-quarter results earlier this month.

In fact, his stock-picking record is so good, he's one of the wealthiest people on the planet. His success suggests that keeping track of the stocks he purchases for his investment company,Berkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) could be smart. Fortunately, Berkshire Hathaway discloses the stocks it owns to the Securities and Exchange Commission every quarter in a report known as a 13-F.\nThe latest 13-F was released this week, and in it, we learn Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio consists of 48 stocks, including three stocks it bought in the second quarter and one stock it received as a spinoff from one of its existing holdings. Among them were a major grocery-store chain, a luxury retailer known for lavish locations, an insurer, and a generic-drug maker focusing on women's health. Read on to find out if these four stocks are right for your portfolio, too.\nIMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.\nThe stocks Buffett bought\nAs I mentioned, the Oracle of Omaha didn't find anything new to add to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. Instead, Berkshire Hathaway added to existing positions in Kroger (NYSE:KR),RH(NYSE:RH), and Aon(NYSE:AON). It also received shares in Organon (NYSE:OGN) when Merck (NYSE:MRK) spun it off on June 3. Berkshire already held the healthcare giant in its portfolio.\nData source: Berkshire Hathaway.\nBetting on a turnaround\nKroger's come a long way since 2017, when low margins and costly expansion plans caused its shares to tumble nearly 50% from its highs in 2016. Since then, a plan including cost-cutting, a renewed focus on its core grocery business, and e-commerce has turned things around, causing its share price to more than double.\nLast summer, Kroger accounted for only 0.37% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, but Berkshire now owns 61.8 million shares worth $2.4 billion, representing 0.81% of its portfolio. That's large enough for it to rank as Berkshire Hathaway's 15th largest position.\nSo far, Buffett's bet on Kroger is paying off. Kroger's digital sales have tripled since 2019, and in its recent earnings conference call, management said strong demand for premium products contributed to better-than-expected earnings. As a result, Kroger increased its full-year fiscal 2021 EPS target to above $2.95, it authorized a new $1 billion stock-repurchase program, and it boosted its dividend payout by 17% to $0.21 per share, giving it a forward yield of 1.9%.\nHome prices are helping this retailer's sales soar\nBerkshire Hathaway also increased its position in RH, formerly Restoration Hardware. Last quarter, Buffett's team added over 35,000 shares in the luxury retailer, bringing total ownership in the company to 8.5%.\nRH has benefited from significant tailwinds in the past year. COVID-driven homebuying trends, such as owning rather than renting and second home purchases, have caused home prices to increase significantly because of limited supply, unlocking demand for RH's products, including luxury furnishings. Meanwhile, higher wages and stimulus payments have boosted savings and disposable income, increasing consumer spending.\nIn its fiscal quarter ending in April, RH's top-line sales grew 78% year over year to $861 million, and EPS of $4.89 increased an eye-popping 285% from the same quarter last year. Those results prompted management to tell investors in June it expects to be net debt-free later this year.\nRH expects its full fiscal year sales growth will be above 25%, up from prior estimates for growth of at least 15%, but that outlook could change when it reports its next quarterly update on Sept. 9.\nA unique way to play risk\nIf COVID has taught us anything, it's that the unexpected ought to be expected. Perhaps that's one reason Berkshire Hathaway has been stockpiling shares of Aon, the world's second largest insurance broker.\nBerkshire Hathaway came into the second quarter owning over 4 million shares in Aon, and it added almost 300,000 shares during the quarter, making Aon its 24th largest position. A lot has happened to Aon since Buffett was buying in Q2, though.\nLast year, Aon announced plans to merge with Willis Towers Watson, the third largest insurance broker, in a $30 billion deal. However, the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit in June to block the merger, citing anticompetitive risks, and Aon abandoned its merger plans in July.\nIt remains to be seen whether Buffett was hoping for the merger to proceed or fail, so it will be important to keep an eye on what happens with his Aon shares in the third quarter. Unfortunately, we won't know if he's a buyer or seller until Berkshire Hathaway's next 13-F report is released in November.\nCan 1+1=3?\nThe final stock Berkshire Hathaway bought in the second quarter was also the only stock that was new to the portfolio in the period, Organon. Berkshire Hathaway came to hold its Organon shares when Merck spun it off in June.\nOrganon's product lineup consists of biosimilars and a slate of women's health drugs Merck developed, including contraceptives NuvaRing and Nexplanon. The spinoff was orchestrated to jettison noncore assets and unlock value for Merck investors.\nThe company reported second-quarter results earlier this month. In the quarter, revenue inched up 3.9% from the same quarter one year ago, which was much better than the 15% year-over-year decline reported in the prior quarter. It also reported better-than-expected adjusted EPS of $1.72, and it instituted its first dividend, deciding to pay $0.28 per share quarterly.\nIt's unclear whether Berkshire Hathaway will hold on to its shares, though. The 3%-plus dividend yield is intriguing and second-quarter results are encouraging, but Organon accounts for only 0.02% of Berkshire Hathaway's assets, so there's no guarantee it will still be in the portfolio next quarter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895892137,"gmtCreate":1628732118929,"gmtModify":1676529834917,"author":{"id":"3581937435371995","authorId":"3581937435371995","name":"Chrystle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80b86f795c68307e6ba22af2f6ae6a67","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581937435371995","authorIdStr":"3581937435371995"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That’s pretty upfront of them!&nbsp;","listText":"That’s pretty upfront of them!&nbsp;","text":"That’s pretty upfront of them!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895892137","repostId":"2158235764","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":282,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891270839,"gmtCreate":1628395394221,"gmtModify":1703505805682,"author":{"id":"3581937435371995","authorId":"3581937435371995","name":"Chrystle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80b86f795c68307e6ba22af2f6ae6a67","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581937435371995","authorIdStr":"3581937435371995"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pretty cool!&nbsp;","listText":"Pretty cool!&nbsp;","text":"Pretty cool!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891270839","repostId":"1159872041","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159872041","pubTimestamp":1628385224,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159872041?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-08 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock: Headed to $1,200?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159872041","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tesla deliveries more than doubled year over year in Q2.Rising demand for electric vehicles could benefit Tesla.Investors should exercise caution when it comes to analysts' price targets.It's been a wild year for Teslastock.

Executives said in April that these threats weren't to blame for the slow start to the year, given that engagement remained strong with existing members and growth was sluggish across many markets rather than just in the ones with new competition. Tuesday's report will mark Netflix's opportunity to show that it is still the leader in the niche.</p>\n<h2>Capital questions</h2>\n<p>The improving cash flow picture has been a big factor behind Netflix's stock price surge, and that's likely to be another highlight of this report. Ironically, the worry is that the company can't spend cash quickly enough to keep the content pipeline fully stocked.

It serves 37 million property seekers a month and 49,000 active property agents across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.\nThe company offers digital property marketplaces to match buyers and tenants with sellers and landlords, as well as digital marketing for property agents and developers.\n\"The market for property is probably the oldest market in the world, and only now is it beginning to change rapidly,\" said Peter Thiel, president of Thiel Capital.\n\"As PropertyGuru spearheads that change in Southeast Asia, Bridgetown 2 will provide capital and expertise to accelerate it even further,\" he said.\nThe combined company will have an enterprise value of about $1.35 billion. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021 or the first quarter of 2022.\nMerrill Lynch (Singapore) Pte Ltd is serving as exclusive financial advisor to PropertyGuru on the deal.\nMerrill Lynch, Citigroup, KKR Capital Markets and TPG Capital were the placement agents to Bridgetown 2.

The calculator allows employees to learn how their decision to work remotely could impact their salary based on where they live and/or where they may move.</p>\n<p>And employees who choose to work from home permanently instead of going back into the company's office could receive lower salaries. Such pay cuts would namely occur if the employee decided to remain remote and move to a less expensive area, away from the office whey they would work in-person.</p>\n<p>For example, an employee who normally works at Google's New York City office would not be penalized if they permanently worked from home in the Big Apple -- but they would be paid less if they moved to North Carolina or Virginia and telecommuted.</p>\n<p>But in some cases, workers who already live far away from a Google office could also see a pay cut if they decided to start working from home full-time rather than continuing to make the long commute. Reuters viewed screenshots of Google's salary calculator, and reported that a worker living in Stamford, Conn. -- which is an hour from NYC by train -- would be paid 15% less if they worked from home . Yet a colleague from the same office who lived in the city wouldn't receive the same pay cut if they switched to remote work. Other screenshots also showed 5% and 10% differences between remote and in-person workers in the Seattle, Boston and San Francisco areas. In fact, employees could see as much as a 25% decrease in salary, depending on where they decide to live.</p>\n<p>Google was not immediately available for comment. \"Our compensation packages have always been determined by location, and we always pay at the top of the local market based on where an employee works from,\" a Google spokesperson told Reuters.</p>\n<p>Google has more than 135,000 employees worldwide, and CEO Sundar Pichai said in April that the company expected 20% of its workforce to be remote by this fall .

With a price-to-earnings ratio of about 370 at the time of this writing, Tesla shares are largely priced for strong growth for years to come. Since the company's valuation is based largely on profits far into the future, slight variances in views for Tesla's future growth trajectory yield dramatically different assumptions about the stock's intrinsic value today.</p>\n<p>Investors, therefore, shouldn't be quick to buy Tesla stock just because one analyst has a high price target for shares. Still, Potter does notably have some good points about Tesla's strong business momentum. Even Tesla itself reiterated guidance for vehicle deliveries to grow more than 50% this year -- and that guidance was provided during a time that many companies around the world (including Tesla) are negatively impacted by supply chain shortages. Further, Tesla management noted in its second-quarter update that demand for its vehicles was at an all-time high going into Q3.</p>\n<p>While a $1,200 price target for Tesla stock would be difficult to justify, shares may be trading low enough for investors to start a small position in the stock.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla Stock: Headed to $1,200?</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\">\nTesla Stock: Headed to $1,200?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-08 09:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/07/tesla-stock-headed-to-1200/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nTesla deliveries more than doubled year over year in Q2.\nRising demand for electric vehicles could benefit Tesla.\nInvestors should exercise caution when it comes to analysts' price targets...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/07/tesla-stock-headed-to-1200/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/07/tesla-stock-headed-to-1200/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1159872041","content_text":"Key Points\n\nTesla deliveries more than doubled year over year in Q2.\nRising demand for electric vehicles could benefit Tesla.\nInvestors should exercise caution when it comes to analysts' price targets.\n\nIt's been a wild year for Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)stock.

Further, Tesla management noted in its second-quarter update that demand for its vehicles was at an all-time high going into Q3.\nWhile a $1,200 price target for Tesla stock would be difficult to justify, shares may be trading low enough for investors to start a small position in the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":772,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":801528823,"gmtCreate":1627523877562,"gmtModify":1703491628605,"author":{"id":"3581937435371995","authorId":"3581937435371995","name":"Chrystle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80b86f795c68307e6ba22af2f6ae6a67","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581937435371995","authorIdStr":"3581937435371995"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow that’s some spike!&nbsp;","listText":"Wow that’s some spike!&nbsp;","text":"Wow that’s some spike!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/801528823","repostId":"1134561674","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134561674","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":1627487094,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1134561674?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-28 23:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bit Digital Popped nearly 50% to trigger fusing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134561674","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Bit Digital Popped nearly 50% to trigger fusing in Wednesday morning trading.\n\nBit Digital, Inc. and","content":"<p>Bit Digital Popped nearly 50% to trigger fusing&nbsp;in Wednesday morning trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3b480bd525e488c041a9b1a6ac3e963\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Bit Digital, Inc. and Digihost Technology Inc. are pleased to announce that the Companies have entered into a second strategic co-mining agreement.&nbsp;Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Digihost will provide certain premises&nbsp;to Bit Digital for the operation of a 100 MW Bitcoin mining system&nbsp;to be delivered by Bit Digital for a term of two years.&nbsp;This expanded collaboration between Digihost and Bit Digital is expected to facilitate an additional increase in hashrate of approximately 2 EH between the companies, and a total increase in hashrate between the two companies of approximately 2.4 EH including the initial collaboration agreement that was previously announced onJune 10, 2021.</p>\n<p>Under the terms of the Agreement, Digihost will provide power and management services for the operation of the Miners.

For Singapore, where the plant has been a mainstay of the economy for six decades, it marked a turning point in one of the most successful bets on fossil fuels in history.</p>\n<p>The plant on Bukom Island is part of a massive refining and petrochemical industry built largely on reclaimed islands just off the city-state. In tandem with the cargo vessels they fueled, the refineries helped drive Singapore’s economic success after independence, attracting billions in investment and spawning businesses from plastics to rig construction and finance.</p>\n<p>“We’ve come a long way as a result of the energy and chemical sector,” said Tan See Leng, Singapore’s labor minister and second minister for trade and industry. “The key thing is not to completely sort of move away, but to see how we can pivot, how we can transform.”</p>\n<p>To that end, the government this year released the Singapore Green Plan 2030, setting out a path for the city-state to become a leading regional hub for carbon trading, green finance, consulting and risk management and other services. Sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings Pte., along with the Singapore Exchange, Standard Chartered Plc and DBS Group Holdings Ltd. announced in May a plan to set up a global exchange for high-quality carbon credits.</p>\n<p>The city also offers a modern base with a skilled workforce from which new energy companies can run their operations in the region. Vena Energy Capital Pte., one of the largest independent renewable power generators in Asia-Pacific, with wind and solar projects stretching from Australia to India, established its headquarters in a modernist glass-and-steel tower in the city’s financial center, despite having no other operations in the country.</p>\n<p>“Given the regulatory transparency that Singapore has, it gives comfort to investors,” said Vena Chief Executive Officer Nitin Apte. “That was true in the past and will be true in the future with renewables.”</p>\n<p>Oil Town</p>\n<p>But Singapore’s switch from black gold to green energy is a difficult balancing act. In 2019, the city was the world’s fourth-biggest exporter of refined petroleum, and fuels and chemicals accounted for around 23% of its total merchandise trade, according to data from the World Bank and the Observatory of Economic Complexity. It’s still a regional trading center for coal, natural gas and oil products and supports dozens of finance houses that specialize in the commodities. More than 100 global chemical companies have operations in the city.</p>\n<p>Bukom Island was there at the start. As far back as the 1890s it was the landing place for Russian kerosene. Shell opened Singapore’s first refinery there just prior to independence in 1961 and four more plants were added over the next couple of decades.</p>\n<p>Exxon Mobil Corp.’s antecedents soon followed, including a refinery on the nearby island of Ayer Chawan, now part of the giant Jurong Island refining complex that Singapore is hoping to transform into an industrial park for sustainable energy and chemicals.</p>\n<p>Now Shell’s investment is in reverse. About 500 jobs will go at the Bukom complex, and many more will likely disappear in Singapore in the coming years. For a nation with no natural resources of its own, its position as an intermediary in the global fuel supply chain will be hard to replace.</p>\n<p>Singapore owes much of its economic success to imaginative and ruthless exploitation of its location, wrote historian Michael Barr in his book “Singapore: A Modern History.” In the energy sector that meant leveraging its position on one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, between the Middle East and the major economies in East Asia.</p>\n<p>That won’t necessarily help its status as an energy hub for renewables like solar and wind that tend to be located in consuming countries, but it could still be an asset for hydrogen, which is gaining momentum as a possible emissions-free fuel for transportation and other energy supplies.</p>\n<p>Hydrogen Hope</p>\n<p>“As it has with natural gas, it may be able to position itself as an intermediary for hydrogen in terms of pricing, terminal facilities and storage,” said David Skilling, founding director of Landfall Strategy Group, which advises small, advanced economies. Still, it’s not yet clear to what extent the hydrogen economy will rely on hubs, said Skilling, who was based in Singapore for more than a decade before relocating recently to the Netherlands.</p>\n<p>More than 30 countries have released hydrogen roadmaps, according to a report by the Hydrogen Council and McKinsey &amp; Co. But Singapore isn’t yet ready to commit to a strategy, Tan said.</p>\n<p>The government has agreements with Australia and Chile for potential collaboration on hydrogen technology, and is working with Japanese companies on ways to transport the gas, Tan said. “As the technology gets more accepted, more widely available, as costs start to drop somewhat, I think they’ll come to an inflection point,” he said.</p>\n<p>Hydrogen and liquefied natural gas have the advantage for Singapore that some oil and petrochemical infrastructure can be retooled for them, said George Nassaouati, who looks at energy transition risks as head of natural resources Asia at Willis Towers Watson. Singapore could also provide engineering and project management expertise to help set up LNG or hydrogen facilities in Southeast Asia, he said.</p>\n<p>Landfall’s Skilling says the “constructive paranoia” that enabled Singapore to navigate waves of economic disruption may help it make the transition. “It’s always very adept at figuring out what the next thing is, figuring out what its niche in that space is and being able to extract value from it,” he said.</p>\n<p>The attention and direction from the government is definitely there, said Selena Ling, head of treasury research and strategy at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. The Monetary Authority of Singapore is developing grant programs to support green and sustainability loans, as well as placing $2 billion of funds with asset managers to catalyze green finance activities out of Singapore, she said.</p>\n<p>Singapore is looking at raising its carbon tax higher than originally planned, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu told Bloomberg in an interview on Friday. The city-state was the first in Asia to introduce a levy on carbon, currently set at S$5 per ton of greenhouse gas. The tax will be revised shortly, Fu said.</p>\n<p>A privately run carbon-credit trading platform that’s backed by some of the nation’s biggest firms would probably be up and running by the end of the year, she said.</p>\n<p>The state of 5.7 million people may also have more time to adapt than Europe or the U.S. because it’s in a region that looks set to rely on hydrocarbons for many years to come. South and Southeast Asia will have the highest oil products demand growth over 2019 to 2035, according to another report from McKinsey. Singapore’s refiners don’t need to do anything drastic yet, said Victor Shum, vice president of energy consulting at IHS Markit.</p>\n<p>Until around 2030 at least, there’s little risk of a major drop-off in demand for oil products, Tan said. Meanwhile, the government is encouraging innovation in areas like carbon capture and moving toward more solar and tidal power, in its drive to be in the vanguard of the energy transition in the region.</p>\n<p>“I’m not sure they necessarily want to follow us, but I think we hope to be the green oasis,” he said.</p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","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>Singapore Prepares to Swap Its Oil Hub Status for Greener Future</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\">\nSingapore Prepares to Swap Its Oil Hub Status for Greener Future\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-19 09:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-prepares-swap-oil-hub-011051609.html><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(Bloomberg) -- Royal Dutch Shell Plc announced late last year it would slash capacity by half at its biggest oil refinery.

For a nation with no natural resources of its own, its position as an intermediary in the global fuel supply chain will be hard to replace.\nSingapore owes much of its economic success to imaginative and ruthless exploitation of its location, wrote historian Michael Barr in his book “Singapore: A Modern History.” In the energy sector that meant leveraging its position on one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, between the Middle East and the major economies in East Asia.\nThat won’t necessarily help its status as an energy hub for renewables like solar and wind that tend to be located in consuming countries, but it could still be an asset for hydrogen, which is gaining momentum as a possible emissions-free fuel for transportation and other energy supplies.\nHydrogen Hope\n“As it has with natural gas, it may be able to position itself as an intermediary for hydrogen in terms of pricing, terminal facilities and storage,” said David Skilling, founding director of Landfall Strategy Group, which advises small, advanced economies. Still, it’s not yet clear to what extent the hydrogen economy will rely on hubs, said Skilling, who was based in Singapore for more than a decade before relocating recently to the Netherlands.\nMore than 30 countries have released hydrogen roadmaps, according to a report by the Hydrogen Council and McKinsey & Co. But Singapore isn’t yet ready to commit to a strategy, Tan said.\nThe government has agreements with Australia and Chile for potential collaboration on hydrogen technology, and is working with Japanese companies on ways to transport the gas, Tan said. “As the technology gets more accepted, more widely available, as costs start to drop somewhat, I think they’ll come to an inflection point,” he said.\nHydrogen and liquefied natural gas have the advantage for Singapore that some oil and petrochemical infrastructure can be retooled for them, said George Nassaouati, who looks at energy transition risks as head of natural resources Asia at Willis Towers Watson. Singapore could also provide engineering and project management expertise to help set up LNG or hydrogen facilities in Southeast Asia, he said.\nLandfall’s Skilling says the “constructive paranoia” that enabled Singapore to navigate waves of economic disruption may help it make the transition. “It’s always very adept at figuring out what the next thing is, figuring out what its niche in that space is and being able to extract value from it,” he said.\nThe attention and direction from the government is definitely there, said Selena Ling, head of treasury research and strategy at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. The Monetary Authority of Singapore is developing grant programs to support green and sustainability loans, as well as placing $2 billion of funds with asset managers to catalyze green finance activities out of Singapore, she said.\nSingapore is looking at raising its carbon tax higher than originally planned, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu told Bloomberg in an interview on Friday. The city-state was the first in Asia to introduce a levy on carbon, currently set at S$5 per ton of greenhouse gas. The tax will be revised shortly, Fu said.\nA privately run carbon-credit trading platform that’s backed by some of the nation’s biggest firms would probably be up and running by the end of the year, she said.\nThe state of 5.7 million people may also have more time to adapt than Europe or the U.S. because it’s in a region that looks set to rely on hydrocarbons for many years to come. South and Southeast Asia will have the highest oil products demand growth over 2019 to 2035, according to another report from McKinsey. Singapore’s refiners don’t need to do anything drastic yet, said Victor Shum, vice president of energy consulting at IHS Markit.\nUntil around 2030 at least, there’s little risk of a major drop-off in demand for oil products, Tan said. Meanwhile, the government is encouraging innovation in areas like carbon capture and moving toward more solar and tidal power, in its drive to be in the vanguard of the energy transition in the region.\n“I’m not sure they necessarily want to follow us, but I think we hope to be the green oasis,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179764398,"gmtCreate":1626578510014,"gmtModify":1703761965067,"author":{"id":"3581937435371995","authorId":"3581937435371995","name":"Chrystle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80b86f795c68307e6ba22af2f6ae6a67","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581937435371995","authorIdStr":"3581937435371995"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool!&nbsp;","listText":"Cool!&nbsp;","text":"Cool!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179764398","repostId":"2152897876","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152897876","pubTimestamp":1626528120,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152897876?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-17 21:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Earnings: What to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152897876","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The streaming video giant has some big questions to answer for investors on Tuesday.","content":"<p><b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) investors are bracing for a volatile trading week ahead. The world's leading subscription-based streaming service will announce its first-quarter results after having posted wildly different growth rates in the previous two reports.</p>\n<p>Netflix's late April earnings showed much slower user growth than management had forecast, which executives blamed on temporary challenges like a light content release schedule rather than rising competition from rivals like <b>Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS).</p>\n<p>That explanation raises the bar for Netflix to issue an optimistic forecast for the second half of 2021 in its announcement on July 20. Let's take a look at the key metrics to follow in that report.</p>\n<h2>Meeting low expectations</h2>\n<p>Growth expectations are low following last quarter's surprise slowdown. Netflix is aiming to add just 1 million global subscribers after gaining 4 million last quarter. The same factors that powered that weak Q1 result will affect Q2. Those include a return to more normal TV trends as people turned to other entertainment activities in the wake of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The big growth question is whether Netflix is feeling heat from competition like Disney's expanding streaming service. Executives said in April that these threats weren't to blame for the slow start to the year, given that engagement remained strong with existing members and growth was sluggish across many markets rather than just in the ones with new competition. Tuesday's report will mark Netflix's opportunity to show that it is still the leader in the niche.</p>\n<h2>Capital questions</h2>\n<p>The improving cash flow picture has been a big factor behind Netflix's stock price surge, and that's likely to be another highlight of this report. Ironically, the worry is that the company can't spend cash quickly enough to keep the content pipeline fully stocked. Most TV and movie production paused early last year and has only now started back up. Management is hoping to spend as much as $17 billion on content this year while marking its first year of positive cash flow.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24e7594a3156e7defcc305d31d5ff009\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"465\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>NFLX Cash from Operations (TTM) data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Look for a new financial metric this quarter, too: stock buyback spending.
