One way to share in his success is to invest in his firm,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(BRKB). Berkshire stock has cleared a buy zone, but is it a good buy for you now? Let's take a close look at the fundamental and technical performance of the ultimate Warren Buffett stock.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate that owns some of America's most famous firms. It wholly owns the likes of Geico, Duracell, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom and railroad operator BNSF.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is perhaps more famous for serving as an investment vehicle for Warren Buffett and his top lieutenant, Charlie Munger. Following their value investing philosophy,the company owns huge stakesin&nbsp;<b>American Express</b>(AXP),&nbsp;<b>Coca-Cola</b>(KO) and other heavy hitters.</p>\n<p>But the definition of a Warren Buffett stock has evolved in recent years.&nbsp;Warren Buffett became a big investor in airlines such as<b>Delta Air Lines</b>(DAL). But he was left to rue his decision to go against his own long-held views about that industry's lack of profitability. The move blew up in his face as airline stocks were decimated due to the global coronavirus pandemic.</p>\n<p>Under investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, Berkshire Hathaway has been increasingly sinking money into tech. It's taken large positions in established giants like<b>Apple</b>(AAPL), as well as younger companies like Brazilian payments company<b>StoneCo</b>(STNE) and new software IPO<b>Snowflake</b>(SNOW). Berkshire also snapped up a stake in<b>Amazon.com</b>(AMZN).</p>\n<p><b>Warren Buffett Anoints Successor</b></p>\n<p>One of the biggest questions around the future of Berkshire Hathaway in recent years was who would take over the mantle of CEO from Buffett.</p>\n<p>The Oracle of Omahahas finally gave the answer. He said Greg Abel, who runs the noninsurance businesses, will take over in his stead.</p>\n<p>\"The directors are in agreement that if something were to happen to me tonight, it would be Greg who'd take over tomorrow morning,\" the legendary investor told CNBC.</p>\n<p>Berkshire's Vice Chairman Charlie Munger dropped a massive hint during the&nbsp;company's annual meeting in Los Angeles, mentioning that \"Greg will keep the culture.\"</p>\n<p>Abel, 58, has been a Berkshire vice chairman since 2018, and had long been viewed by analysts as a possible successor. The Canadian is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He has also been vice chairman of Berkshire's noninsurance operations since January 2018.</p>\n<p><b>Buffett Snaps Up Berkshire Stock</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway revealed in its Q1 earnings report that it had snapped up $6.6 billion more of its shares. It comesafter a record $27.4 billion in repurchaseslast year. This was down from the $9 billion in stock it had purchased in each of the previous two quarters however.</p>\n<p>After historically shying away from repurchases, Berkshire Hathaway stock has become one of Buffett's top purchases.&nbsp;Berkshire's aggressive share repurchases contrasts with the M&amp;A deals spun by the investor during and after the 2008 financial crash.</p>\n<p>While he has historically been reluctant to splurge on stock repurchases, he explained his change of heart in his latest annual letter to shareholders.</p>\n<p>\"The math of repurchases grinds away slowly, but can be powerful over time,\" he wrote. \"The process offers a simple way for investors to own an ever-expanding portion of exceptional businesses.\"</p>\n<p>Berkshire loosened rules for Buffett to buy back shares in 2018. With Berkshire steadfastly cautious on M&amp;A in recent years, investors have been clamoring for more repurchases.</p>\n<p><b>Berkshire Hathaway Tweaks Portfolio</b></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett took a huge stake in<b>Verizon</b>(VZ) stock while dumping JPMorgan (JPM) stock entirely, according to thefirm's latest regulatory filing.</p>\n<p>Its new Verizon stake is massive, with Berkshire paying $8.62 billion for 147 million shares. It now accounts for 3% of the portfolio, making it the No. 6 stock by number of shares held.</p>\n<p>Buffett also opened new stakes in<b>Chevron</b>(CVX),<b>Marsh &amp; McLennan</b>(MMC) and<b>EW Scripps</b>(SSP) in Q4.</p>\n<p>Berkshire dumped entirely<b>Pfizer</b>(PFE),<b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(JPM),<b>Barrick Gold</b>(GOLD),<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>(MTB) and<b>PNC Financial</b>(PNC).</p>\n<p>The conglomerate grew stakes by 117% in<b>T-Mobile</b>(TMUS), 34% in<b>Kroger</b>(KR), 28% in<b>Merck</b>(MRK), 20% in<b>AbbVie</b>(ABBV), 11% in<b>Bristol-Myers Squibb</b>(BMY), and 1% in<b>RH</b>(RH).</p>\n<p>Buffett cut Berkshire's stake in Apple stock by 6%. It remains the No. 1 stock in his portfolio by market value and No. 2 stock by number of shares held, at 10.6% of the portfolio. He kept an Amazon stake steady.</p>\n<p>During its most recent earnings report, the firm revealed it had sold $6.45 billion in stock in Q1 and bought $2.57 billion in stock.</p>\n<p><b>Warren Buffett Funds Media Deal</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is a key backer in a deal disclosed Sept. 24 that will see TV station owner<b>E.W. Scripps</b>(SSP) purchase privately held cable network ION Media for $2.65 billion. The latter firm's flagship, ION Television, is a top 5-ranked U.S. general entertainment network.</p>\n<p>Warren Buffett's firm is snapping up $600 million of Scripps preferred shares to help fund the deal. Scripps stock surged on on the news.</p>\n<p>Berkshire will also receive a warrant that allows it to snap up up to 23.1 million more shares at a price of $13. This adds up to an additional investment of $300 million. Scripps' common shares currently trade at more than 21 each.</p>\n<p><b>Berkshire Hathaway Coronavirus Exposure</b></p>\n<p>As well as its status as an investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate in its own right. It has interests in segments such as railroads, utilities and energy.</p>\n<p>Those sectors, along with other \"real economy\" companies that are Warren Buffett staples, have been hard hit by the coronavirus shutdowns and massive economic contraction. However they should benefit as the economy opens up again.</p>\n<p>Berkshire owns Geico, the No. 2 U.S. auto insurer after State Farm.

One way to share in his success is to invest in his firm,Berkshire Hathaway(BRKB). Berkshire stock has cleared a buy zone, but is it a good buy for you now? Let's take a close look at the fundamental and technical performance of the ultimate Warren Buffett stock.\nBerkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate that owns some of America's most famous firms. It wholly owns the likes of Geico, Duracell, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom and railroad operator BNSF.\nBerkshire Hathaway is perhaps more famous for serving as an investment vehicle for Warren Buffett and his top lieutenant, Charlie Munger. Following their value investing philosophy,the company owns huge stakesin American Express(AXP), Coca-Cola(KO) and other heavy hitters.\nBut the definition of a Warren Buffett stock has evolved in recent years. Warren Buffett became a big investor in airlines such asDelta Air Lines(DAL). But he was left to rue his decision to go against his own long-held views about that industry's lack of profitability. The move blew up in his face as airline stocks were decimated due to the global coronavirus pandemic.\nUnder investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, Berkshire Hathaway has been increasingly sinking money into tech. It's taken large positions in established giants likeApple(AAPL), as well as younger companies like Brazilian payments companyStoneCo(STNE) and new software IPOSnowflake(SNOW). Berkshire also snapped up a stake inAmazon.com(AMZN).\nWarren Buffett Anoints Successor\nOne of the biggest questions around the future of Berkshire Hathaway in recent years was who would take over the mantle of CEO from Buffett.\nThe Oracle of Omahahas finally gave the answer. He said Greg Abel, who runs the noninsurance businesses, will take over in his stead.\n\"The directors are in agreement that if something were to happen to me tonight, it would be Greg who'd take over tomorrow morning,\" the legendary investor told CNBC.\nBerkshire's Vice Chairman Charlie Munger dropped a massive hint during the company's annual meeting in Los Angeles, mentioning that \"Greg will keep the culture.\"\nAbel, 58, has been a Berkshire vice chairman since 2018, and had long been viewed by analysts as a possible successor. The Canadian is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He has also been vice chairman of Berkshire's noninsurance operations since January 2018.\nBuffett Snaps Up Berkshire Stock\nBerkshire Hathaway revealed in its Q1 earnings report that it had snapped up $6.6 billion more of its shares. It comesafter a record $27.4 billion in repurchaseslast year. This was down from the $9 billion in stock it had purchased in each of the previous two quarters however.\nAfter historically shying away from repurchases, Berkshire Hathaway stock has become one of Buffett's top purchases. Berkshire's aggressive share repurchases contrasts with the M&A deals spun by the investor during and after the 2008 financial crash.\nWhile he has historically been reluctant to splurge on stock repurchases, he explained his change of heart in his latest annual letter to shareholders.\n\"The math of repurchases grinds away slowly, but can be powerful over time,\" he wrote. \"The process offers a simple way for investors to own an ever-expanding portion of exceptional businesses.\"\nBerkshire loosened rules for Buffett to buy back shares in 2018. With Berkshire steadfastly cautious on M&A in recent years, investors have been clamoring for more repurchases.\nBerkshire Hathaway Tweaks Portfolio\nWarren Buffett took a huge stake inVerizon(VZ) stock while dumping JPMorgan (JPM) stock entirely, according to thefirm's latest regulatory filing.\nIts new Verizon stake is massive, with Berkshire paying $8.62 billion for 147 million shares. It now accounts for 3% of the portfolio, making it the No. 6 stock by number of shares held.\nBuffett also opened new stakes inChevron(CVX),Marsh & McLennan(MMC) andEW Scripps(SSP) in Q4.\nBerkshire dumped entirelyPfizer(PFE),JPMorgan Chase(JPM),Barrick Gold(GOLD),M&T Bank(MTB) andPNC Financial(PNC).\nThe conglomerate grew stakes by 117% inT-Mobile(TMUS), 34% inKroger(KR), 28% inMerck(MRK), 20% inAbbVie(ABBV), 11% inBristol-Myers Squibb(BMY), and 1% inRH(RH).\nBuffett cut Berkshire's stake in Apple stock by 6%. It remains the No. 1 stock in his portfolio by market value and No. 2 stock by number of shares held, at 10.6% of the portfolio. He kept an Amazon stake steady.\nDuring its most recent earnings report, the firm revealed it had sold $6.45 billion in stock in Q1 and bought $2.57 billion in stock.\nWarren Buffett Funds Media Deal\nBerkshire Hathaway is a key backer in a deal disclosed Sept. 24 that will see TV station ownerE.W. Scripps(SSP) purchase privately held cable network ION Media for $2.65 billion. The latter firm's flagship, ION Television, is a top 5-ranked U.S. general entertainment network.\nWarren Buffett's firm is snapping up $600 million of Scripps preferred shares to help fund the deal. Scripps stock surged on on the news.\nBerkshire will also receive a warrant that allows it to snap up up to 23.1 million more shares at a price of $13. This adds up to an additional investment of $300 million. Scripps' common shares currently trade at more than 21 each.\nBerkshire Hathaway Coronavirus Exposure\nAs well as its status as an investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate in its own right. It has interests in segments such as railroads, utilities and energy.\nThose sectors, along with other \"real economy\" companies that are Warren Buffett staples, have been hard hit by the coronavirus shutdowns and massive economic contraction. However they should benefit as the economy opens up again.\nBerkshire owns Geico, the No. 2 U.S. auto insurer after State Farm. Currently, states such as California are ordering insurers to give partial credits or refunds of premiums in lines such as private passenger automobile insurance.\nBerkshire also owns BNSF Railway Company, the largest freight railroad network in North America. Rail operators such asUnion Pacific(UNP) andCSX(CSX) have seen business suffer during the pandemic. But rail operators and other transportation companies are seeing business pick up again.\nOther wholly owned businesses such as Dairy Queen and multilevel marketing company Pampered Chef also struggled during coronavirus restrictions, though those are easing.\nWarren Buffett's Big Gas Bill\nWarren Buffett has been criticized for the size of his cash pile. But last July he madehis biggest acquisition in yearswith a $10 billion deal forDominion Energy's (D) assets.\nBerkshire seized the chance to secure Dominion's gas pipeline network after the utility giant andDuke Energy(DUK) unexpectedly aborted plans to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.\nBerkshire Hathaway Energy will buy about 7,700 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines and 900 billion cubic feet of gas storage. The all-cash deal includes $4 billion of equity and $5.7 billion of debt. It's set to close in the fourth quarter.\n\"We are very proud to be adding such a great portfolio of natural gas assets to our already strong energy business,\" Buffett said in a statement.\nEnergy has been doing well so far in 2021. For example, the Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) is up almost 40% since the start of the year.\nBerkshire Hathaway Stock Technical Analysis\nBerkshire Hathaway stock is in a profit-taking zone after breaking out of aflat base, according toMarketSmith analysis. Theideal buy pointwas 235.09. Shares offered a follow-on buy point around 246 in late March after a test of the 10-week line, but are extended from here as well.\nIt could go on to form a new base with an entry point of 295.18, it can continue to consolidate below this level.\nBRKB stock is well clear after pulling away from its50-day moving average, though the key technical benchmark is beginning to catch up. This is a positive sign for holders of the stock.\nTherelative strength lineof Berkshire Hathaway stock has been slippi8ng somewhat of late after a spell of progress that kicked off in mid-March. BRKB stock is outperforming in 2021. So far this year, it is up around 23%, which beats the broader S&P 500's return of almost 13%.\nItsIBD Composite Ratingnow sits at 69 out of 99. This is not ideal, but puts it in the top 31% of stocks tracked overall.\nEarnings are  improving, with EPS accelerating for the past two quarters. However earnings have only grown by an average of 5% over the past three quarters, with coronavirus pandemic lockdowns having an impact. The CAN SLIM systemrecommends investors look for companies with average EPS growth of at least 25% over this time period.\nWall Street is becoming more optimistic for Berkshire Hathaway earnings growth going forward. Analysts are projecting annual earnings will rise 24% 2021, before moderating to 7% growth in 2022.\nWarren Buffett Recommendation\nBerkshire stock had been lagging the S&P 500 index since the end of 2018.

Those interested in buying the ultimate Warren Buffett stock should add it to their watchlist, and wait to see if it forms a new base.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":180725065,"gmtCreate":1623228263157,"gmtModify":1704198790643,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","listText":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","text":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/180725065","repostId":"1168173742","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168173742","pubTimestamp":1623227883,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168173742?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-09 16:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Treasury yields ebb lower as investor focus turns to inflation data","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168173742","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe consumer price index for May is set to be released Thursday.\nEconomists are expectin","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe consumer price index for May is set to be released Thursday.\nEconomists are expecting the CPI to rise 4.7% from a year earlier, according to Dow Jones.\nInvestors will also be keeping ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/us-bonds-treasury-yields-dip-as-investors-focus-on-inflation-data.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

While the economy will most certainly grow in 2021, the question is how much is already&nbsp;<i>“baked in?”</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“The economy has entered a period of supercharged growth. Instead of fizzling, it could potentially remain stronger than it was during the pre-pandemic era into 2023.</b></i>\n <i>Economists now expect the second quarter to grow at a pace of 10%, and they expect growth for 2021 to be north of 6.5%.</i>\n <i><b>In the past decade, only a few quarters gross domestic product growing at even 3%.”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The premise is that strong<i>&nbsp;“pent up”</i>&nbsp;demand will sustain the economic recovery over the next few years.</p>\n<p>However, since market lows in 2020, the market surge has not only recouped all of those losses but has rocketed to all-time highs on expectations of surging earnings growth.</p>\n<p>The question: How much has gotten priced in?</p>\n<p><b>A Return To Normalcy</b></p>\n<p>Just recently, Liz Ann Sonders wrote a piece for&nbsp;Advisor Perspectives.&nbsp;To wit:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Vaccines and herd immunity continue to bring COVID cases down, and</i>\n <i><b>&nbsp;the economic reopening continues to kick into a higher gear. Such is whatthe data is starting to show.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Across economic metrics, from the gross domestic product (GDP) to retail sales and job growth,</i>\n <i><b>boom conditions are evident</b></i>\n <i>.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>She is correct in her statement.<b>&nbsp;However, there is a difference between an</b><b><i>“economic boom”</i></b><b>&nbsp;and a</b><b><i>“recovery.”</i></b>&nbsp;As shown in the chart of GDP growth below, the U.S. has already experienced a very sharp<i>&nbsp;“economic recovery”</i>&nbsp;from the recessionary lows.&nbsp;<i>(I have included estimates for the rest of 2020, which shows a return to trend growth.)</i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fdad10528414b4274fcd428501380f7\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"280\"></p>\n<p>The following chart shows the economic recovery against the massive dumps of liquidity pumped into the economy.&nbsp;<i>(Estimates run through the end of 2021 using economist’s assumptions.)</i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dba515f0c9d2b1e6b69cd03edccc9bec\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"280\"></p>\n<p><b>Can’t Recoup Losses</b></p>\n<p><b>Certain areas of the economy, like airlines, hotels, and cruise ships, have yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels.</b>However, those industries only make up a relatively small amount of overall economic activity. Furthermore, these industries will continue to struggle for some time as individuals will not take&nbsp;<i>“two vacations”</i>&nbsp;this year since they missed last year.&nbsp;<b>That activity is now forever lost.</b></p>\n<p>Yes, the economy will recover most likely to pre-pandemic levels this year due to stimulus injections,<b><i>&nbsp;but as discussed previously</i></b>, what then?</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“The biggest problem with more stimulus is the increase in the debt required to fund it.</i>\n <i><b>&nbsp;There is no historical precedent, anywhere globally, that shows increased debt levels lead to more robust economic growth rates or prosperity.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Since 1980, the overall increase in debt has surged to levels that currently usurp the entirety of economic growth.</i>\n <i><b>With economic growth rates now at the lowest levels on record, the change in debt continues to divert more tax dollars away from productive investments into the service of debt and social welfare.”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2a13ef8b21cb5f0f15b7d3bc37642a0\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"279\"></p>\n<p>Just as it is with investing, getting&nbsp;<i>“back to even”</i>&nbsp;is not the same thing as&nbsp;<i>“organic growth.”</i></p>\n<p><b>The Second Derivative</b></p>\n<p>What is shown above is the&nbsp;<b><i>“second derivative”</i></b>&nbsp;effect of growth.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“In&nbsp;calculus, the</i>\n <i><b>second derivative</b></i>\n <i>, or the</i>\n <i><b>second-order derivative</b></i>\n <i>, of a&nbsp;function&nbsp;f&nbsp;is the&nbsp;derivative&nbsp;of the derivative of&nbsp;f.” – Wikipedia.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In English, the<i>&nbsp;“second derivative”</i>&nbsp;measures how the rate of change of a quantity is itself changing. Since we measure GDP growth on an annual rate of change basis, the larger the economy grows, the lower the rate of change will be. Here is a simplistic example go GDP growth:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>In year 1,&nbsp;GDP = $1. In the second year, GDP grows to $2. The annual rate of change is 100%. However, in year 3, even though the economy grows to $3, the annual rate of change falls to just 50%.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Given the long-term historical correlation between economic growth, corporate earnings, and annualized returns, the reversion to trend growth has implications for investors. As Liz notes:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Using three broad ranges for GDP growth historically, the lowest range (when the economy is barely growing or in recession) is accompanied by the highest annualized stock market performance.</i>\n <i><b>GDP is only slightly back into positive territory on an annualized basis. However, the strong growth expected in the second quarter will push GDP into the highest zone.

While the economy will most certainly grow in 2021, the question is how much is already “baked in?”\n\n“The economy has entered a period of supercharged growth. Instead of fizzling, it could potentially remain stronger than it was during the pre-pandemic era into 2023.\nEconomists now expect the second quarter to grow at a pace of 10%, and they expect growth for 2021 to be north of 6.5%.\nIn the past decade, only a few quarters gross domestic product growing at even 3%.”\n\nThe premise is that strong “pent up” demand will sustain the economic recovery over the next few years.\nHowever, since market lows in 2020, the market surge has not only recouped all of those losses but has rocketed to all-time highs on expectations of surging earnings growth.\nThe question: How much has gotten priced in?\nA Return To Normalcy\nJust recently, Liz Ann Sonders wrote a piece for Advisor Perspectives. To wit:\n\n“Vaccines and herd immunity continue to bring COVID cases down, and\n the economic reopening continues to kick into a higher gear. Such is whatthe data is starting to show.\n Across economic metrics, from the gross domestic product (GDP) to retail sales and job growth,\nboom conditions are evident\n.”\n\nShe is correct in her statement. However, there is a difference between an“economic boom” and a“recovery.” As shown in the chart of GDP growth below, the U.S. has already experienced a very sharp “economic recovery” from the recessionary lows. (I have included estimates for the rest of 2020, which shows a return to trend growth.)\n\nThe following chart shows the economic recovery against the massive dumps of liquidity pumped into the economy. (Estimates run through the end of 2021 using economist’s assumptions.)\n\nCan’t Recoup Losses\nCertain areas of the economy, like airlines, hotels, and cruise ships, have yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels.However, those industries only make up a relatively small amount of overall economic activity. Furthermore, these industries will continue to struggle for some time as individuals will not take “two vacations” this year since they missed last year. That activity is now forever lost.\nYes, the economy will recover most likely to pre-pandemic levels this year due to stimulus injections, but as discussed previously, what then?\n\n“The biggest problem with more stimulus is the increase in the debt required to fund it.\n There is no historical precedent, anywhere globally, that shows increased debt levels lead to more robust economic growth rates or prosperity.\n Since 1980, the overall increase in debt has surged to levels that currently usurp the entirety of economic growth.\nWith economic growth rates now at the lowest levels on record, the change in debt continues to divert more tax dollars away from productive investments into the service of debt and social welfare.”\n\n\nJust as it is with investing, getting “back to even” is not the same thing as “organic growth.”\nThe Second Derivative\nWhat is shown above is the “second derivative” effect of growth.\n\n“In calculus, the\nsecond derivative\n, or the\nsecond-order derivative\n, of a function f is the derivative of the derivative of f.” – Wikipedia.\n\nIn English, the “second derivative” measures how the rate of change of a quantity is itself changing. Since we measure GDP growth on an annual rate of change basis, the larger the economy grows, the lower the rate of change will be. Here is a simplistic example go GDP growth:\n\nIn year 1, GDP = $1. In the second year, GDP grows to $2. The annual rate of change is 100%. However, in year 3, even though the economy grows to $3, the annual rate of change falls to just 50%.\n\nGiven the long-term historical correlation between economic growth, corporate earnings, and annualized returns, the reversion to trend growth has implications for investors. As Liz notes:\n\n“Using three broad ranges for GDP growth historically, the lowest range (when the economy is barely growing or in recession) is accompanied by the highest annualized stock market performance.\nGDP is only slightly back into positive territory on an annualized basis. However, the strong growth expected in the second quarter will push GDP into the highest zone. At that level, stocks have historically posted a negative annualized return.”\n\n\nThe reason is that once economic growth reaches higher levels, stocks have climbed to levels incorporating those expectations. In other words, when things are as “good as they can get,” stocks begin to reprice for slower future growth rates.\nThat is the phase we are at currently.\nHow Much Pent Up Demand Is There Anyway\nThe main driver of the expected recovery from a “recessionary” low stems from the question of how much “pent up” demand currently exists?\nIf we look at durable goods as an example, such would suggest that much of the demand for long-lasting products got pulled forward by consumers over the last 12-months.\n\nOf course, if we broaden that measure to retails sales which make up ~40% of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, we see much the same.\n\nGiven PCE, which comprises nearly 70% of GDP, has already recovered much of pandemic-related decline, how much “pent up” demand remains.\n\nHowever, wage growth outside of personal transfer payments (i.e., stimulus) hasn’t recovered. It is impossible to sustain higher rates of economic growth without wage growth.\n\nImportantly, as we saw in January and February following the $900 billion stimulus bill passage, there was a short-lived surge of activity. However, once individuals spent the money, activity quickly faded. We saw the same with retail sales in April following the American Rescue Plan, which sent out $1400 checks.\n\nAfter the $1400 checks get spent, what will be the driver for continued consumption at previous rates? Further, given the impact of a larger economy (as it recovers), the rate of change will decline markedly in the months to come.\nEarnings Growth Inflection\n\n“Earnings growth has a high correlation to stock market performance, but with time lags that are less well-understood. We are about halfway through the first quarter S&P 500 earnings season and so far, the results are exceptionally strong.” – Liz Ann Sonders\n\nThat is correct, and given the high correlation between earnings and market returns, we come back to the same question. Has the advance in the market accounted for the rebound in earnings? More importantly, what happens when that growth reverses?\n\n“Relative to last year’s second-quarter plunge of nearly -31% year-over-year, expectations are that S&P 500 earnings will be up more than 46% in this year’s first quarter. The second quarter will boast a whopping 60% increase. Such should be the inflection point in terms of the year-over-year growth rate.” – Liz Ann Sonders\n\n\nThe problem is the S&P rose to levels that earnings growth will have difficulty supporting, particularly as the stimulus fades from the system. As with economic growth, the 2nd derivative of earnings growth is now a headwind for the markets.\n\nSuch is also the problem of “pulling forward sales.”\nConclusion\nNotably, the outsized growth of the market reflects repetitive interventions into the financial markets by the Fed. Those interventions detached financial asset growth from their long-term correlation to GDP growth, where corporate revenue comes from. Historically, when the S&P 500 becomes separated from economic growth, a reversion occurred.\n\nCurrently, analysts are expecting earnings to surge well above economic growth rates.

Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same. For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections.

They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135617730,"gmtCreate":1622161083220,"gmtModify":1704180518148,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All seems positive","listText":"All seems positive","text":"All seems positive","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135617730","repostId":"1198020203","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135615898,"gmtCreate":1622160994514,"gmtModify":1704180514231,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Market seems toppish...","listText":"Market seems toppish...","text":"Market seems toppish...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135615898","repostId":"2138179881","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138324293,"gmtCreate":1621911876112,"gmtModify":1704364317534,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stocks seem to move higher and higher","listText":"Stocks seem to move higher and higher","text":"Stocks seem to move higher and higher","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/138324293","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131367193,"gmtCreate":1621829209712,"gmtModify":1704362928935,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can buy?","listText":"Can buy?","text":"Can buy?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/131367193","repostId":"1122516428","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122516428","pubTimestamp":1621823919,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1122516428?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-24 10:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Cryptocurrency Plunge Continues, What's Ahead?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1122516428","media":"Mish Talk","summary":"In the past week cryptos have taken a hit.

However, even CCP-fearing investors cannot ignore BABA’s compelling valuation forever.Last week’s results&nbsp;have done nothing more than increase my conviction in the value of this company and its great prospects. Alibaba remains operationally strong, is benefitting from macroeconomic tailwinds and is delivering a strategy that will ensure growth for years to come.</p>\n<p><b>1. Encouraging Results and Undervaluation</b></p>\n<p>BABA reported earnings last week,missing EPS&nbsp;by RMB 2.96 but beating on revenue by RMB 6.73B, a 63.9% YoY increase. Below we can see a segment breakdown of the revenue in the last quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6c7dc444f6cca626d803c786312d154a\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"941\"><span>Source:Investor Presentation</span></p>\n<p>As always, revenues are led by “China commerce retail”. These are split up into “Customer Management, which refers to commissions charged on their commerce platforms, and “Others''. The latter encompasses direct sales and “New Retail”, which is an initiative started in 2016 that encompasses a variety of initiatives that aim to bridge the gap between offline and online retail. The New Retail segment also includes BABA’s newly implemented Community Marketplace.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, we have “Core Commerce” contributing 86% of revenues, with a 72% YoY growth, followed by “Cloud Computing”, which represents 9% of revenues and has grown 50% in the last year.</p>\n<p>In the EBITA section, we have some changes relating to how the company classifies Core Commerce earnings. I’ll provide the quote from the Notes as it might be hard to read in the image:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “Starting this quarter, for purposes of presenting our marketplace-based core commerce adjusted EBITA, we expanded the list of new initiative businesses that we break out in order to present the progress of our strategic investments as well as the profitability of our marketplace-based core commerce businesses on a like-for-like basis. The new initiative businesses, which now include our New Retail businesses, Local Consumer Services, Lazada, Taobao Deals, Cainiao Network and others, represent strategic areas where we are executing to capture incremental opportunities. Comparative figures are presented in the same manner accordingly.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Source:Investor Presentation, Slide 9, Notes</p>\n<p>In other words, we have a figure for “marketplace-based core commerce”, which is higher than the actual “core commerce” earnings because it doesn’t take into account losses related to investments in growth initiatives like “New Retail” and logistical services like Cainiao.</p>\n<p>EBITA for Q1 2021 came in at RMB 22,612 million, and while BABA did miss on EPS, it is important to consider that this included the&nbsp;fines levied by the CCP, and without them, targets would have been met.</p>\n<p>Following these results, the company continues to be fundamentally undervalued when compared to its peers. BABA trades at a forward P/E of around 30, well below even its Chinese peer JD.com (JD), which trades at 50x forward P/E. The discrepancies in valuation are even clearer when we look at the valuation of US companies like Amazon.com (AMZN), which trades at a forward P/E of 50 and a Price/cash flow of 24 compared to BABA’s Price/cash flow of 16.38.</p>\n<p>One would understand this discrepancy if Alibaba were facing a slowdown in growth, or worsened profitability, but this isn’t quite the case. Granted, margins have been decreasing in the last few years, but this is part of Alibaba’s growth strategy, which the company continues to execute proficiently.</p>\n<p><b>2. Growth Path Clearer Than Ever</b></p>\n<p>The latest earnings call has brought about a division of opinions in terms of what objectives the company should pursue in the next few years. It seems like some investors are disappointed that the company is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy since this will take a toll on margins and earnings. I could understand this if the company was distressed, or its profitability was still in question, but BABA is neither of those. Despite growing and investing aggressively, the company continues to maintain a levered FCF margin of around 30%. I could also understand investors being concerned if BABA’s growth was slowing down and opportunities were limited, but I’d say the growth path has never been clearer.</p>\n<p>In the&nbsp;earnings call, CEO Daniel Zhang pointed towards three concrete investment areas that Alibaba is pursuing: domestic consumption, globalization and cloud.</p>\n<p>Starting with domestic consumption, we have seen very encouraging news on this front, especially as it relates to the company’s New Retail segment and the launch of the Community Marketplace. The concept of New Retail isn’t new; connecting online and offline. It also gives another name that has been touted a lot recently: omnichannel.</p>\n<p>Alibaba is picking up on this and offering consumers a hybrid form of consumption. Freshippo is a perfect example of this, as it is a supermarket&nbsp;built around a mobile App. Users use their phones to pay, scan products, and even get recommendations through AI. Furthermore, the Community Marketplace allows for increased delivery speeds which rival that of Amazon.</p>\n<p>Globally, Alibaba is also increasing its presence, especially in neighbouring countries of Asia. International commerce revenues reached RMB 34.5 billion in the last quarter and showed increased growth rates.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Alibaba plans to continue investing heavily in Cloud. This is a chance for Alibaba to build the foundations of the infrastructure that will serve to digitize China and perhaps the whole of Asia. This investment seems like a no-brainer, as it carries higher margins and Alibaba has a first-mover advantage in many geographical locations.</p>\n<p>BABA has maintained growth rates of over 40% for the last five years and if anything, it seems like this growth could speed up in the next five. Investors may not like management’s commitment to reinvest all its profits to pursue growth, but this is a short-term mentality. BABA must and is investing aggressively now to profit in the future.</p>\n<p><b>3. Macroeconomic Tailwinds</b></p>\n<p>Investing in the China growth story has been a compelling thesis for over a decade now. With China playing catch up over the last few years, one would be forgiven for thinking that this growth would be close to plateauing and falling in line with that of the developed economies, yet nothing could be further than the truth.</p>\n<p>First off, China has come out more reinforced after the covid pandemic than any other country in the world. The Chinese GDP in the first quarter of 2021&nbsp;grew at a record 18.3%. On top of that, China is now benefiting from industrializing its economy, which it is doing at breakneck speed. China is no longer just a place to get cheap goods, it is quickly becoming an innovation hub, and Alibaba is powering this move.</p>\n<p>But it isn't only Chinese growth that supports the BABA bull case. The company is making great inroads globally, and especially in South East Asia, which is projected to grow at a&nbsp;rate of around 6%in the next year. As I covered in my&nbsp;article on Sea Limited, (SE) this geographical area is one of the most exciting growth opportunities right now. In the last quarter, BABA showed impressive strength, achieving international retail commerce growth of 42%. Furthermore, cloud revenues grew 50% in the last year, and this was attributed in the&nbsp;earnings call&nbsp;to increased presence in Asia Pacific.</p>\n<p>Lastly, it is worth mentioning that BABA offers exposure to a Yuan based economy, which has been appreciating vis-a-vis the dollar in the last year. From a long-term perspective, it’s clear that China is making a move to replace the US as the reserve currency, or at the very least expand its presence in international trade. This bodes well for the Yuan and is a further tailwind for BABA.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>An article on Baba wouldn't be complete without talking about the involvement of the CCP in its business. Concerns over this issue increased when the Chinese government blocked the IPO of ant financial.</p>\n<p>Was this as bad as it seems? As I mentioned in my last article on BABA, even after restructuring Ant, the business is still worth&nbsp;at least $227 billion.</p>\n<p>What's most important though is understanding why the CCP did this, and the answer is very simple; they want more control over the \"fintech\" sector. In the last year, payments from apps like WeChat have skyrocketed. The last thing the CCP wants though is to cut BABA's wings. Now that, following the restructuring, the Chinese government does indeed have much more control over Ant, I'd expect the platform to be promoted even harder.</p>\n<p>While investors may be upset at this development, I will point out that China's efforts to keep tabs on transactions are not unlike similar efforts undertaken in the West.

However, even CCP-fearing investors cannot ignore BABA’s compelling valuation forever.Last week’s results have done nothing more than increase my conviction in the value of this company and its great prospects. Alibaba remains operationally strong, is benefitting from macroeconomic tailwinds and is delivering a strategy that will ensure growth for years to come.\n1. Encouraging Results and Undervaluation\nBABA reported earnings last week,missing EPS by RMB 2.96 but beating on revenue by RMB 6.73B, a 63.9% YoY increase. Below we can see a segment breakdown of the revenue in the last quarter.\nSource:Investor Presentation\nAs always, revenues are led by “China commerce retail”. These are split up into “Customer Management, which refers to commissions charged on their commerce platforms, and “Others''. The latter encompasses direct sales and “New Retail”, which is an initiative started in 2016 that encompasses a variety of initiatives that aim to bridge the gap between offline and online retail. The New Retail segment also includes BABA’s newly implemented Community Marketplace.\nUltimately, we have “Core Commerce” contributing 86% of revenues, with a 72% YoY growth, followed by “Cloud Computing”, which represents 9% of revenues and has grown 50% in the last year.\nIn the EBITA section, we have some changes relating to how the company classifies Core Commerce earnings. I’ll provide the quote from the Notes as it might be hard to read in the image:\n\n “Starting this quarter, for purposes of presenting our marketplace-based core commerce adjusted EBITA, we expanded the list of new initiative businesses that we break out in order to present the progress of our strategic investments as well as the profitability of our marketplace-based core commerce businesses on a like-for-like basis. The new initiative businesses, which now include our New Retail businesses, Local Consumer Services, Lazada, Taobao Deals, Cainiao Network and others, represent strategic areas where we are executing to capture incremental opportunities. Comparative figures are presented in the same manner accordingly.\n\nSource:Investor Presentation, Slide 9, Notes\nIn other words, we have a figure for “marketplace-based core commerce”, which is higher than the actual “core commerce” earnings because it doesn’t take into account losses related to investments in growth initiatives like “New Retail” and logistical services like Cainiao.\nEBITA for Q1 2021 came in at RMB 22,612 million, and while BABA did miss on EPS, it is important to consider that this included the fines levied by the CCP, and without them, targets would have been met.\nFollowing these results, the company continues to be fundamentally undervalued when compared to its peers. BABA trades at a forward P/E of around 30, well below even its Chinese peer JD.com (JD), which trades at 50x forward P/E. The discrepancies in valuation are even clearer when we look at the valuation of US companies like Amazon.com (AMZN), which trades at a forward P/E of 50 and a Price/cash flow of 24 compared to BABA’s Price/cash flow of 16.38.\nOne would understand this discrepancy if Alibaba were facing a slowdown in growth, or worsened profitability, but this isn’t quite the case. Granted, margins have been decreasing in the last few years, but this is part of Alibaba’s growth strategy, which the company continues to execute proficiently.\n2. Growth Path Clearer Than Ever\nThe latest earnings call has brought about a division of opinions in terms of what objectives the company should pursue in the next few years. It seems like some investors are disappointed that the company is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy since this will take a toll on margins and earnings. I could understand this if the company was distressed, or its profitability was still in question, but BABA is neither of those. Despite growing and investing aggressively, the company continues to maintain a levered FCF margin of around 30%. I could also understand investors being concerned if BABA’s growth was slowing down and opportunities were limited, but I’d say the growth path has never been clearer.\nIn the earnings call, CEO Daniel Zhang pointed towards three concrete investment areas that Alibaba is pursuing: domestic consumption, globalization and cloud.\nStarting with domestic consumption, we have seen very encouraging news on this front, especially as it relates to the company’s New Retail segment and the launch of the Community Marketplace. The concept of New Retail isn’t new; connecting online and offline. It also gives another name that has been touted a lot recently: omnichannel.\nAlibaba is picking up on this and offering consumers a hybrid form of consumption. Freshippo is a perfect example of this, as it is a supermarket built around a mobile App. Users use their phones to pay, scan products, and even get recommendations through AI. Furthermore, the Community Marketplace allows for increased delivery speeds which rival that of Amazon.\nGlobally, Alibaba is also increasing its presence, especially in neighbouring countries of Asia. International commerce revenues reached RMB 34.5 billion in the last quarter and showed increased growth rates.\nLastly, Alibaba plans to continue investing heavily in Cloud. This is a chance for Alibaba to build the foundations of the infrastructure that will serve to digitize China and perhaps the whole of Asia. This investment seems like a no-brainer, as it carries higher margins and Alibaba has a first-mover advantage in many geographical locations.\nBABA has maintained growth rates of over 40% for the last five years and if anything, it seems like this growth could speed up in the next five. Investors may not like management’s commitment to reinvest all its profits to pursue growth, but this is a short-term mentality. BABA must and is investing aggressively now to profit in the future.\n3. Macroeconomic Tailwinds\nInvesting in the China growth story has been a compelling thesis for over a decade now. With China playing catch up over the last few years, one would be forgiven for thinking that this growth would be close to plateauing and falling in line with that of the developed economies, yet nothing could be further than the truth.\nFirst off, China has come out more reinforced after the covid pandemic than any other country in the world. The Chinese GDP in the first quarter of 2021 grew at a record 18.3%. On top of that, China is now benefiting from industrializing its economy, which it is doing at breakneck speed. China is no longer just a place to get cheap goods, it is quickly becoming an innovation hub, and Alibaba is powering this move.\nBut it isn't only Chinese growth that supports the BABA bull case. The company is making great inroads globally, and especially in South East Asia, which is projected to grow at a rate of around 6%in the next year. As I covered in my article on Sea Limited, (SE) this geographical area is one of the most exciting growth opportunities right now. In the last quarter, BABA showed impressive strength, achieving international retail commerce growth of 42%. Furthermore, cloud revenues grew 50% in the last year, and this was attributed in the earnings call to increased presence in Asia Pacific.\nLastly, it is worth mentioning that BABA offers exposure to a Yuan based economy, which has been appreciating vis-a-vis the dollar in the last year. From a long-term perspective, it’s clear that China is making a move to replace the US as the reserve currency, or at the very least expand its presence in international trade. This bodes well for the Yuan and is a further tailwind for BABA.\nRisks\nAn article on Baba wouldn't be complete without talking about the involvement of the CCP in its business. Concerns over this issue increased when the Chinese government blocked the IPO of ant financial.\nWas this as bad as it seems? As I mentioned in my last article on BABA, even after restructuring Ant, the business is still worth at least $227 billion.\nWhat's most important though is understanding why the CCP did this, and the answer is very simple; they want more control over the \"fintech\" sector. In the last year, payments from apps like WeChat have skyrocketed. The last thing the CCP wants though is to cut BABA's wings. Now that, following the restructuring, the Chinese government does indeed have much more control over Ant, I'd expect the platform to be promoted even harder.\nWhile investors may be upset at this development, I will point out that China's efforts to keep tabs on transactions are not unlike similar efforts undertaken in the West. Most countries in Europe and the US are pushing towards cashless economies to do just that. And, of course, we have the constant interference of the US government with Big Tech companies.\nOverall, it seems like the regulatory risk for BABA has died down, with the company itself mentioning it does not expect further fines.\nTakeaway\nAlibaba continues to be one of my favourite companies, providing growth, profitability and perhaps a much-needed element of diversification from US equities. Despite great results, the company remains undervalued, but time will eventually set things straight.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192527938,"gmtCreate":1621217400924,"gmtModify":1704354078741,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Really?","listText":"Really?","text":"Really?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192527938","repostId":"2135998171","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2135998171","pubTimestamp":1621216800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2135998171?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-17 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stock Market Crash: 3 Companies to Buy and Hold for the Long Term","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2135998171","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The market looks shaky, but these stocks have what it takes to push your portfolio to the next level.","content":"<p>Depending on your perspective and positioning, a stock market crash can be an absolute nightmare or a blessing in disguise.

Read on to see why they think that investors will be rewarded for building positions in these three companies.</p><h2><b>Baozun</b></h2><p><b>Keith Noonan (Baozun): </b>Growth-dependent technology stocks have been hit hard amid recent market volatility, and <b>Baozun</b>'s (NASDAQ:BZUN) valuation has slid far from its recent highs. The China-based e-commerce stock already looks like a good buy after the recent sell-off, and it's possible that risk-tolerant investors could secure even better long-term returns if a deeper market crash drives the company's share price lower.</p><p>Baozun is sometimes compared to <b>Shopify</b> because both companies provide e-commerce website creation and management services, but its business model is distinct enough to render the comparison somewhat misleading. So, while you might hear Baozun described as \"the Shopify of China,\" it's best to evaluate the company based on its own merits.</p><p>Baozun's core business revolves around providing a suite of online retail management tools and support services to large Western brands that are looking to tap into China's massive and fast-growing online retail market. While management has indicated that it's looking to move away from warehousing and order fulfillment services and focus on software services that deliver better margins, product storage and shipping still accounts for a substantial portion of the company's business. Like Shopify, Baozun also provides services that are tailored to small businesses, but this service is still at a relatively early growth stage.</p><p>The Chinese e-commerce services company is its own beast, and should be treated as such, but it's attractively valued and could deliver big wins for patient investors. Baozun stock trades down about 44% from its 52-week high of $57 per share and about 52% from the lifetime high that it hit in July 2018. With the company valued at $2.6 billion and trading at approximately 23 times this year's expected earnings, Baozun still has huge room for growth.</p><h2>The Trade Desk</h2><p><b>Jamal Carnette (The Trade Desk):</b> It's been a tough year for high-growth tech stocks like advertising specialist <b>The Trade Desk</b> (NASDAQ:TTD). Shares cratered after the company reported first-quarter earnings. So naturally you'd expect the company to miss analyst estimates on revenue or earnings or provide tepid guidance -- and you'd be wrong.</p><p>The Trade Desk beat analyst estimates for the top line by posting revenue growth of 37%, a growth acceleration from the 33% clip in the year-ago quarter, and blew adjusted EPS estimates of $0.77 away by reporting $1.41. Even better, the company guided for $260.5 million in revenue at the midpoint next quarter, a figure above consensus expectations and 87% higher than last year's pandemic figure.</p><p>The Trade Desk is firing on all cylinders but shares are down nearly 44% from yearly highs established in February. Like many growth stocks, the stock had gotten ahead of itself, with a 210% explosion while revenue only increased 26% (still impressive during the pandemic). However, the recent sell-off has created an opportunity for long-term investors.</p><p>The Trade Desk's long-term thesis remains intact. Advertising will continue to move away from print and traditional cable to digital outlets like mobile and connected video, while the ad buying process will continue to migrate from person-to-person to programmatic transactions. As the world's largest independent buy-side digital programmatic platform, The Trade Desk is well situated to benefit from these long-term trends</p><p>Like all stocks, The Trade Desk has risks. Last year's amazing run was partially based on its leadership around Unified ID 2.0, a transparent opt-in email tracking solution to replace third-party cookies. Publishers, marketers, and others across the advertising ecosystem rallied around UID 2.0 as <b>Apple</b> and <b>Alphabet</b> banned third-party cookies. Recent communications appear to indicate these platforms are also against Unified ID's email-based identifier to capture data.</p><p>Those fears appear to be overdone and don't apply to the high-growth advertising verticals like connected TV that led The Trade Desk's growth last quarter. Additionally, The Trade Desk is aggressively looking for new ways to expand its capabilities like its innovative deal with <b>Walmart</b> to provide insight into the retail giant's shoppers that will make it easier for advertisers locate prospective buyers.</p><h2>Amazon</h2><p><b>Joe Tenebruso</b> <b>(Amazon):</b> It might not seem like it at the time, but you can earn a fortune during a stock market crash. It's during these volatile times that the stock prices of the best businesses in the world are put on sale. Buying a high-quality, competitively advantaged company at a discounted price is an excellent recipe for wealth creation. Fortunately, we have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> such opportunity today with <b>Amazon </b>(NASDAQ:AMZN).</p><p>Amazon has grown even more dominant during the coronavirus pandemic. More people are shopping online than ever before, and no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> does e-commerce better than Amazon. The online retail juggernaut saw its first-quarter net sales surge 40% to $64.4 billion in North America and 60% to $30.6 billion in international markets. That's a staggering level of growth for a $1.6 trillion company.</p><p>Incredibly, Amazon has another powerful growth driver in its high-margin cloud computing business. Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivered sales growth of 32% in the first quarter, as businesses shifted their operations to the cloud during the COVID-19 crisis. Impressively, AWS produced $4.2 billion in operating profit on its $13.5 billion in revenue.</p><p>Yet despite these strong results, Amazon's share price has pulled back by about 10% from its highs of the year, along with the prices of many other growth stocks during the recent market swoon. Therein lies your opportunity.</p><p>Amazon's business is as strong as it's ever been, and its shares are now trading at a bargain price. If you buy today, you could reap the rewards.</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>Stock Market Crash: 3 Companies to Buy and Hold for the Long Term</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\">\nStock Market Crash: 3 Companies to Buy and Hold for the Long Term\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-17 10:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/16/stock-market-crash-3-companies-to-buy-and-hold-for/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Depending on your perspective and positioning, a stock market crash can be an absolute nightmare or a blessing in disguise.

With the company valued at $2.6 billion and trading at approximately 23 times this year's expected earnings, Baozun still has huge room for growth.The Trade DeskJamal Carnette (The Trade Desk): It's been a tough year for high-growth tech stocks like advertising specialist The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD). Shares cratered after the company reported first-quarter earnings. So naturally you'd expect the company to miss analyst estimates on revenue or earnings or provide tepid guidance -- and you'd be wrong.The Trade Desk beat analyst estimates for the top line by posting revenue growth of 37%, a growth acceleration from the 33% clip in the year-ago quarter, and blew adjusted EPS estimates of $0.77 away by reporting $1.41. Even better, the company guided for $260.5 million in revenue at the midpoint next quarter, a figure above consensus expectations and 87% higher than last year's pandemic figure.The Trade Desk is firing on all cylinders but shares are down nearly 44% from yearly highs established in February. Like many growth stocks, the stock had gotten ahead of itself, with a 210% explosion while revenue only increased 26% (still impressive during the pandemic). However, the recent sell-off has created an opportunity for long-term investors.The Trade Desk's long-term thesis remains intact. Advertising will continue to move away from print and traditional cable to digital outlets like mobile and connected video, while the ad buying process will continue to migrate from person-to-person to programmatic transactions. As the world's largest independent buy-side digital programmatic platform, The Trade Desk is well situated to benefit from these long-term trendsLike all stocks, The Trade Desk has risks. Last year's amazing run was partially based on its leadership around Unified ID 2.0, a transparent opt-in email tracking solution to replace third-party cookies. Publishers, marketers, and others across the advertising ecosystem rallied around UID 2.0 as Apple and Alphabet banned third-party cookies. Recent communications appear to indicate these platforms are also against Unified ID's email-based identifier to capture data.Those fears appear to be overdone and don't apply to the high-growth advertising verticals like connected TV that led The Trade Desk's growth last quarter. Additionally, The Trade Desk is aggressively looking for new ways to expand its capabilities like its innovative deal with Walmart to provide insight into the retail giant's shoppers that will make it easier for advertisers locate prospective buyers.AmazonJoe Tenebruso (Amazon): It might not seem like it at the time, but you can earn a fortune during a stock market crash. It's during these volatile times that the stock prices of the best businesses in the world are put on sale. Buying a high-quality, competitively advantaged company at a discounted price is an excellent recipe for wealth creation. Fortunately, we have one such opportunity today with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).Amazon has grown even more dominant during the coronavirus pandemic. More people are shopping online than ever before, and no one does e-commerce better than Amazon. The online retail juggernaut saw its first-quarter net sales surge 40% to $64.4 billion in North America and 60% to $30.6 billion in international markets. That's a staggering level of growth for a $1.6 trillion company.Incredibly, Amazon has another powerful growth driver in its high-margin cloud computing business. Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivered sales growth of 32% in the first quarter, as businesses shifted their operations to the cloud during the COVID-19 crisis. Impressively, AWS produced $4.2 billion in operating profit on its $13.5 billion in revenue.Yet despite these strong results, Amazon's share price has pulled back by about 10% from its highs of the year, along with the prices of many other growth stocks during the recent market swoon. Therein lies your opportunity.Amazon's business is as strong as it's ever been, and its shares are now trading at a bargain price. If you buy today, you could reap the rewards.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":165,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":115011196,"gmtCreate":1622940656215,"gmtModify":1704193399503,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/115011196","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

Now looks like a good time to buy a few growth stocks with great potential.","content":"<p>If you're a tech investor, you've probably seen some red in your portfolio recently. Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.</p>\n<p>Instead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, <b>Cloudflare</b> (NYSE:NET) and <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.</p>\n<h2>1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing</h2>\n<p>Cloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17%&nbsp;of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e55778fa4732da24b1a14ed4fcaafa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Traditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach&nbsp;to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.</p>\n<p>In 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.</p>\n<p>Beyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.</p>\n<p>In total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing <i>much</i> faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Customers</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>49,309</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>119,206</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>31%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$135 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$478 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>48%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Cloudflare&nbsp;SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>Going forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like <b>Akamai</b>&nbsp;and public cloud titans like <b>Amazon</b> Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: E-commerce</h2>\n<p>Creating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.</p>\n<p>Shopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its&nbsp;software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff4a35f99c16648b52d7b3f448eb34e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Shopify.</span></p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world.

Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.\nInstead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.\n1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing\nCloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17% of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTraditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.\nIn 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.\nMoreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.\nBeyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.\nIn total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing much faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\n49,309\n119,206\n31%\n\n\nRevenue\n$135 million\n$478 million\n48%\n\n\n\nData source: Cloudflare SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nGoing forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like Akamai and public cloud titans like Amazon Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.\n2. Shopify: E-commerce\nCreating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.\nShopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.\nImage source: Shopify.\nNot surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world. In 2016 the company had 377,500 customers, but that figure double by 2018 and doubled again by 2020, reaching 1.7 million.\nAt the same time, Shopify has seen strong adoption of its payment processing and shipping services. In 2016 Shopify Payments handled 39% of gross merchandise volume (GMV), but that figure hit 45% in 2020. Likewise, less than 40% of U.S. and Canadian merchants used Shopify Shipping in 2018, but that figure hit 52% in 2020.\nHere's the takeaway: Shopify's quickly growing customer base has powered soaring subscription sales, but increasing adoption of Shopify Payments and Shopify Shipping has driven even faster sales growth in merchant solutions.\n\n\n\nShopify Revenue\n2016\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nSubscription\n$188.6 million\n$908.8 million\n48%\n\n\nMerchant Solutions\n$200.7 million\n$2.0 billion\n78%\n\n\nTotal\n$389.3 million\n$2.9 billion\n66%\n\n\n\nData source: Shopify SEC filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nIn Q1 2021, Shopify's business continued to gain speed. Subscription sales growth accelerated to 71% and merchant solutions sales growth accelerated to 137%. In total, Q1 revenue came in at $989 million -- more than double its full-year revenue in 2016.\nThis supercharged financial performance can't last forever, but even as growth slows, I believe Shopify will be an important player in the e-commerce industry for decades to come.

The decision may ripple across Credit Suisse’s investment bank: SoftBank has been a prolific deal-maker and last year Credit Suisse and other banks held about $8 billion of SoftBank shares in collateral, pledged by founder Masayoshi Son.</p><p>It is unclear how long the ban lasts for, or whether it impacts any ongoing deals.</p><p>Credit Suisse is reviewing its risk and client relationships after being hit by the twin collapses of Greensill and Archegos Capital Management. New Chairman Antonio-Horta Osorio has pledged a wide-ranging review after the bank was forced to suspend billions of dollars of funds it managed with Greensill and took a $5.5 billion hit on Archegos, raising questions about the oversight of key clients.</p><p>A Tokyo-based spokesperson at SoftBank Group wasn’t immediately available to comment, while Credit Suisse declined to comment.</p><p>Credit Suisse conducted an internal review into the Greensill funds after allegations of possible conflicts of interest involving SoftBank last year. A number of SoftBank portfolio companies received loans via supply-chain funds at Credit Suisse, while SoftBank was also an investor in the Credit Suisse funds. In the aftermath, SoftBank pulled $700 million out of the funds and the bank also changed its investment guidelines for Credit Suisse’s funds to reduce the maximum exposure to a single borrower.</p><p>Credit Suisse Overhauls Rules for Funds Accused of Conflicts</p><p>The overlapping financial relationships had raised questions whether SoftBank was using the Credit Suisse funds to prop up investments in the Vision Fund, including Greensill Capital, in which it had a substantial stake.</p><p>SoftBank wrote down its $1.5 billion holding of Greensill to close to zero after Credit Suisse was forced to wind down its four Greensill-linked funds in March, people familiar with the matter earlier said.

The decision may ripple across Credit Suisse’s investment bank: SoftBank has been a prolific deal-maker and last year Credit Suisse and other banks held about $8 billion of SoftBank shares in collateral, pledged by founder Masayoshi Son.It is unclear how long the ban lasts for, or whether it impacts any ongoing deals.Credit Suisse is reviewing its risk and client relationships after being hit by the twin collapses of Greensill and Archegos Capital Management. New Chairman Antonio-Horta Osorio has pledged a wide-ranging review after the bank was forced to suspend billions of dollars of funds it managed with Greensill and took a $5.5 billion hit on Archegos, raising questions about the oversight of key clients.A Tokyo-based spokesperson at SoftBank Group wasn’t immediately available to comment, while Credit Suisse declined to comment.Credit Suisse conducted an internal review into the Greensill funds after allegations of possible conflicts of interest involving SoftBank last year. A number of SoftBank portfolio companies received loans via supply-chain funds at Credit Suisse, while SoftBank was also an investor in the Credit Suisse funds. In the aftermath, SoftBank pulled $700 million out of the funds and the bank also changed its investment guidelines for Credit Suisse’s funds to reduce the maximum exposure to a single borrower.Credit Suisse Overhauls Rules for Funds Accused of ConflictsThe overlapping financial relationships had raised questions whether SoftBank was using the Credit Suisse funds to prop up investments in the Vision Fund, including Greensill Capital, in which it had a substantial stake.SoftBank wrote down its $1.5 billion holding of Greensill to close to zero after Credit Suisse was forced to wind down its four Greensill-linked funds in March, people familiar with the matter earlier said. SoftBank is now seeking $1.15 billion in claims as part of Greensill’s insolvency proceedings.Credit Suisse marketed its popular supply-chain finance funds as among the safest investments it offered, because the loans they held were backed by invoices usually paid in weeks and the funds were insured. But as the funds grew into a $10 billion strategy, they strayed from that pitch and much of the money was lent through Greensill against expected future invoices, for sales that were merely predicted.

The benchmark index is currently less than 1% away from its record high of 4,238.04 points.Nvidia Corp    forecast second-quarter revenue above analysts' estimates, but shares fell as the chipmaker could not say for certain how much of its recent revenue rise was driven by the volatile cryptocurrency-mining market.(Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak; Additional reporting by Sinéad Carew in New York; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192853666,"gmtCreate":1621181433255,"gmtModify":1704353682997,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Really?","listText":"Really?","text":"Really?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192853666","repostId":"1173244066","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173244066","pubTimestamp":1621004086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173244066?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 22:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Disney, Airbnb and DoorDash results reveal about the post-pandemic economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173244066","media":"CNN","summary":"London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver ","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver of how people spend their money.</p>\n<p>The big question: As the coronavirus situation improves in countries like the United States, which trends from the past 14 months will have staying power, and which will be resigned to the pandemic past?</p>\n<p>Airbnb, DoorDash and Disney (DIS), which reported results after US markets closed on Thursday, provide some idea.</p>\n<p>Airbnb: The company said interest in travel is surging again as vaccines become more widely available, pointing to a sharp increase in bookings in the United Kingdom immediately after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans in February to gradually exit lockdown.

One way to share in his success is to invest in his firm,<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(BRKB). Berkshire stock has cleared a buy zone, but is it a good buy for you now? Let's take a close look at the fundamental and technical performance of the ultimate Warren Buffett stock.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate that owns some of America's most famous firms. It wholly owns the likes of Geico, Duracell, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom and railroad operator BNSF.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway is perhaps more famous for serving as an investment vehicle for Warren Buffett and his top lieutenant, Charlie Munger. Following their value investing philosophy,the company owns huge stakesin&nbsp;<b>American Express</b>(AXP),&nbsp;<b>Coca-Cola</b>(KO) and other heavy hitters.</p>\n<p>But the definition of a Warren Buffett stock has evolved in recent years.&nbsp;Warren Buffett became a big investor in airlines such as<b>Delta Air Lines</b>(DAL). But he was left to rue his decision to go against his own long-held views about that industry's lack of profitability. The move blew up in his face as airline stocks were decimated due to the global coronavirus pandemic.</p>\n<p>Under investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, Berkshire Hathaway has been increasingly sinking money into tech. It's taken large positions in established giants like<b>Apple</b>(AAPL), as well as younger companies like Brazilian payments company<b>StoneCo</b>(STNE) and new software IPO<b>Snowflake</b>(SNOW). Berkshire also snapped up a stake in<b>Amazon.com</b>(AMZN).</p>\n<p><b>Warren Buffett Anoints Successor</b></p>\n<p>One of the biggest questions around the future of Berkshire Hathaway in recent years was who would take over the mantle of CEO from Buffett.</p>\n<p>The Oracle of Omahahas finally gave the answer. He said Greg Abel, who runs the noninsurance businesses, will take over in his stead.</p>\n<p>\"The directors are in agreement that if something were to happen to me tonight, it would be Greg who'd take over tomorrow morning,\" the legendary investor told CNBC.</p>\n<p>Berkshire's Vice Chairman Charlie Munger dropped a massive hint during the&nbsp;company's annual meeting in Los Angeles, mentioning that \"Greg will keep the culture.\"</p>\n<p>Abel, 58, has been a Berkshire vice chairman since 2018, and had long been viewed by analysts as a possible successor. The Canadian is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He has also been vice chairman of Berkshire's noninsurance operations since January 2018.</p>\n<p><b>Buffett Snaps Up Berkshire Stock</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway revealed in its Q1 earnings report that it had snapped up $6.6 billion more of its shares. It comesafter a record $27.4 billion in repurchaseslast year. This was down from the $9 billion in stock it had purchased in each of the previous two quarters however.</p>\n<p>After historically shying away from repurchases, Berkshire Hathaway stock has become one of Buffett's top purchases.&nbsp;Berkshire's aggressive share repurchases contrasts with the M&amp;A deals spun by the investor during and after the 2008 financial crash.</p>\n<p>While he has historically been reluctant to splurge on stock repurchases, he explained his change of heart in his latest annual letter to shareholders.</p>\n<p>\"The math of repurchases grinds away slowly, but can be powerful over time,\" he wrote. \"The process offers a simple way for investors to own an ever-expanding portion of exceptional businesses.\"</p>\n<p>Berkshire loosened rules for Buffett to buy back shares in 2018. With Berkshire steadfastly cautious on M&amp;A in recent years, investors have been clamoring for more repurchases.</p>\n<p><b>Berkshire Hathaway Tweaks Portfolio</b></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett took a huge stake in<b>Verizon</b>(VZ) stock while dumping JPMorgan (JPM) stock entirely, according to thefirm's latest regulatory filing.</p>\n<p>Its new Verizon stake is massive, with Berkshire paying $8.62 billion for 147 million shares.

One way to share in his success is to invest in his firm,Berkshire Hathaway(BRKB). Berkshire stock has cleared a buy zone, but is it a good buy for you now? Let's take a close look at the fundamental and technical performance of the ultimate Warren Buffett stock.\nBerkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate that owns some of America's most famous firms. It wholly owns the likes of Geico, Duracell, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom and railroad operator BNSF.\nBerkshire Hathaway is perhaps more famous for serving as an investment vehicle for Warren Buffett and his top lieutenant, Charlie Munger. Following their value investing philosophy,the company owns huge stakesin American Express(AXP), Coca-Cola(KO) and other heavy hitters.\nBut the definition of a Warren Buffett stock has evolved in recent years. Warren Buffett became a big investor in airlines such asDelta Air Lines(DAL). But he was left to rue his decision to go against his own long-held views about that industry's lack of profitability. The move blew up in his face as airline stocks were decimated due to the global coronavirus pandemic.\nUnder investment managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, Berkshire Hathaway has been increasingly sinking money into tech. It's taken large positions in established giants likeApple(AAPL), as well as younger companies like Brazilian payments companyStoneCo(STNE) and new software IPOSnowflake(SNOW). Berkshire also snapped up a stake inAmazon.com(AMZN).\nWarren Buffett Anoints Successor\nOne of the biggest questions around the future of Berkshire Hathaway in recent years was who would take over the mantle of CEO from Buffett.\nThe Oracle of Omahahas finally gave the answer. He said Greg Abel, who runs the noninsurance businesses, will take over in his stead.\n\"The directors are in agreement that if something were to happen to me tonight, it would be Greg who'd take over tomorrow morning,\" the legendary investor told CNBC.\nBerkshire's Vice Chairman Charlie Munger dropped a massive hint during the company's annual meeting in Los Angeles, mentioning that \"Greg will keep the culture.\"\nAbel, 58, has been a Berkshire vice chairman since 2018, and had long been viewed by analysts as a possible successor. The Canadian is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He has also been vice chairman of Berkshire's noninsurance operations since January 2018.\nBuffett Snaps Up Berkshire Stock\nBerkshire Hathaway revealed in its Q1 earnings report that it had snapped up $6.6 billion more of its shares. It comesafter a record $27.4 billion in repurchaseslast year. This was down from the $9 billion in stock it had purchased in each of the previous two quarters however.\nAfter historically shying away from repurchases, Berkshire Hathaway stock has become one of Buffett's top purchases. Berkshire's aggressive share repurchases contrasts with the M&A deals spun by the investor during and after the 2008 financial crash.\nWhile he has historically been reluctant to splurge on stock repurchases, he explained his change of heart in his latest annual letter to shareholders.\n\"The math of repurchases grinds away slowly, but can be powerful over time,\" he wrote. \"The process offers a simple way for investors to own an ever-expanding portion of exceptional businesses.\"\nBerkshire loosened rules for Buffett to buy back shares in 2018. With Berkshire steadfastly cautious on M&A in recent years, investors have been clamoring for more repurchases.\nBerkshire Hathaway Tweaks Portfolio\nWarren Buffett took a huge stake inVerizon(VZ) stock while dumping JPMorgan (JPM) stock entirely, according to thefirm's latest regulatory filing.\nIts new Verizon stake is massive, with Berkshire paying $8.62 billion for 147 million shares. It now accounts for 3% of the portfolio, making it the No. 6 stock by number of shares held.\nBuffett also opened new stakes inChevron(CVX),Marsh & McLennan(MMC) andEW Scripps(SSP) in Q4.\nBerkshire dumped entirelyPfizer(PFE),JPMorgan Chase(JPM),Barrick Gold(GOLD),M&T Bank(MTB) andPNC Financial(PNC).\nThe conglomerate grew stakes by 117% inT-Mobile(TMUS), 34% inKroger(KR), 28% inMerck(MRK), 20% inAbbVie(ABBV), 11% inBristol-Myers Squibb(BMY), and 1% inRH(RH).\nBuffett cut Berkshire's stake in Apple stock by 6%. It remains the No. 1 stock in his portfolio by market value and No. 2 stock by number of shares held, at 10.6% of the portfolio. He kept an Amazon stake steady.\nDuring its most recent earnings report, the firm revealed it had sold $6.45 billion in stock in Q1 and bought $2.57 billion in stock.\nWarren Buffett Funds Media Deal\nBerkshire Hathaway is a key backer in a deal disclosed Sept. 24 that will see TV station ownerE.W. Scripps(SSP) purchase privately held cable network ION Media for $2.65 billion. The latter firm's flagship, ION Television, is a top 5-ranked U.S. general entertainment network.\nWarren Buffett's firm is snapping up $600 million of Scripps preferred shares to help fund the deal. Scripps stock surged on on the news.\nBerkshire will also receive a warrant that allows it to snap up up to 23.1 million more shares at a price of $13. This adds up to an additional investment of $300 million. Scripps' common shares currently trade at more than 21 each.\nBerkshire Hathaway Coronavirus Exposure\nAs well as its status as an investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate in its own right. It has interests in segments such as railroads, utilities and energy.\nThose sectors, along with other \"real economy\" companies that are Warren Buffett staples, have been hard hit by the coronavirus shutdowns and massive economic contraction. However they should benefit as the economy opens up again.\nBerkshire owns Geico, the No. 2 U.S. auto insurer after State Farm. Currently, states such as California are ordering insurers to give partial credits or refunds of premiums in lines such as private passenger automobile insurance.\nBerkshire also owns BNSF Railway Company, the largest freight railroad network in North America. Rail operators such asUnion Pacific(UNP) andCSX(CSX) have seen business suffer during the pandemic. But rail operators and other transportation companies are seeing business pick up again.\nOther wholly owned businesses such as Dairy Queen and multilevel marketing company Pampered Chef also struggled during coronavirus restrictions, though those are easing.\nWarren Buffett's Big Gas Bill\nWarren Buffett has been criticized for the size of his cash pile. But last July he madehis biggest acquisition in yearswith a $10 billion deal forDominion Energy's (D) assets.\nBerkshire seized the chance to secure Dominion's gas pipeline network after the utility giant andDuke Energy(DUK) unexpectedly aborted plans to build the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.\nBerkshire Hathaway Energy will buy about 7,700 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines and 900 billion cubic feet of gas storage. The all-cash deal includes $4 billion of equity and $5.7 billion of debt. It's set to close in the fourth quarter.\n\"We are very proud to be adding such a great portfolio of natural gas assets to our already strong energy business,\" Buffett said in a statement.\nEnergy has been doing well so far in 2021. For example, the Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) is up almost 40% since the start of the year.\nBerkshire Hathaway Stock Technical Analysis\nBerkshire Hathaway stock is in a profit-taking zone after breaking out of aflat base, according toMarketSmith analysis. Theideal buy pointwas 235.09. Shares offered a follow-on buy point around 246 in late March after a test of the 10-week line, but are extended from here as well.\nIt could go on to form a new base with an entry point of 295.18, it can continue to consolidate below this level.\nBRKB stock is well clear after pulling away from its50-day moving average, though the key technical benchmark is beginning to catch up. This is a positive sign for holders of the stock.\nTherelative strength lineof Berkshire Hathaway stock has been slippi8ng somewhat of late after a spell of progress that kicked off in mid-March. BRKB stock is outperforming in 2021. So far this year, it is up around 23%, which beats the broader S&P 500's return of almost 13%.\nItsIBD Composite Ratingnow sits at 69 out of 99. This is not ideal, but puts it in the top 31% of stocks tracked overall.\nEarnings are  improving, with EPS accelerating for the past two quarters. However earnings have only grown by an average of 5% over the past three quarters, with coronavirus pandemic lockdowns having an impact. The CAN SLIM systemrecommends investors look for companies with average EPS growth of at least 25% over this time period.\nWall Street is becoming more optimistic for Berkshire Hathaway earnings growth going forward.

Investors keen on the stock could add it to their watchlist, and wait for a new buying opportunity to emerge.\nWhile its Composite Rating is still not up to scratch, it has improved on this front as well. This makes it an option worth watching for investors seeking to add to their portfolio a well established stock with a diversified portfolio of businesses.\nHowever, it is worth remember that, after a late-2018 burst, Berkshire Hathaway earnings growth has been modest and uneven. While Wall Street sees solid EPS growth ahead for Berkshire in 2021 and 2022, it still remains shy of the rates sought by CAN SLIM investors.\nBottom line: Berkshire Hathaway stock is not a buy at the moment. Those interested in buying the ultimate Warren Buffett stock should add it to their watchlist, and wait to see if it forms a new base.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":180725065,"gmtCreate":1623228263157,"gmtModify":1704198790643,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","listText":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","text":"With inflation, interest rate looks set to rise","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/180725065","repostId":"1168173742","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135617730,"gmtCreate":1622161083220,"gmtModify":1704180518148,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All seems positive","listText":"All seems positive","text":"All seems positive","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135617730","repostId":"1198020203","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131365181,"gmtCreate":1621829133743,"gmtModify":1704362926188,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Which platform allows us to buy Jap stock?","listText":"Which platform allows us to buy Jap stock?","text":"Which platform allows us to buy Jap stock?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/131365181","repostId":"1146753093","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146753093","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":1621825245,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146753093?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-24 11:00","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Japanese shares gain on global recovery hopes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146753093","media":"Reuters","summary":"TOKYO, May 24 (Reuters) - Japanese shares rose on Monday, led by stocks sensitive to global economic","content":"<p>TOKYO, May 24 (Reuters) - Japanese shares rose on Monday, led by stocks sensitive to global economic growth, as investors cheered upbeat U.S. factory activity data that helped the Dow index end higher in its previous session.</p>\n<p>The Nikkei share average gained 0.35% to 28,415.54 by 0209 GMT, while the broader Topix rose 0.59% to 1,914.26.</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose on Friday after data showed U.S. factory activity gathered speed in early-May amid strong domestic demand.</p>\n<p>“Investors had a renewed view on global economic growth after the rise on the Dow (on Friday), which is why shippers and car makers were strong,” said Shoichi Arisawa, general manager of the investment research department at IwaiCosmo Securities.</p>\n<p>“But this trend may not continue for long as there are many uncertainties ahead of us.

Stock valuations are t","content":"<p>To veterans of financial bubbles, there is plenty familiar about the present. Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.</p><p>This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.</p><p>But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.</p><p>There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.</p><p>“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”</p><p>Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”</p><p><b>‘A bit frothy’</b></p><p>The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.</p><p>As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.</p><p>The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”</p><p>The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.</p><p>And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.</p><p>The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.</p><p>At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.</p><p><b>Running of the bulls</b></p><p>This injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&amp;P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.</p><p>Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.</p><p>Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.</p><p>Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.</p><p>Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.</p><p>Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.</p><p>Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.</p><p>Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&amp;P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.</p><p>While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.</p><p><b>Facing the future</b></p><p>It’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.</p><p>Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.</p><p>But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.</p><p>The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.</p><p>“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”</p><p>That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.</p><p>Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise. In recent months that stock-bond correlation, in place for most of the last few decades, began to disappear, said Brian Sack, a former Fed economist who is now with hedge fund D.E. Shaw &amp; Co. LP. He attributes that, in part, to inflation concerns.</p><p>The many years since inflation dominated the financial landscape have led investors to price assets as if inflation never will have that sway again. They may be right. But if the unprecedented combination of monetary and fiscal stimulus succeeds in jolting the economy out of the last decade’s pattern, that complacency could prove quite costly.</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>What Happens to Stocks and Cryptocurrencies When the Fed Stops Raining Money?</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\">\nWhat Happens to Stocks and Cryptocurrencies When the Fed Stops Raining Money?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-08 15:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-happens-to-stocks-and-cryptocurrencies-when-the-fed-stops-raining-money-11620446420?mod=itp_wsj><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>To veterans of financial bubbles, there is plenty familiar about the present.

Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”‘A bit frothy’The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.Running of the bullsThis injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.Facing the futureIt’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise.

They may be right. But if the unprecedented combination of monetary and fiscal stimulus succeeds in jolting the economy out of the last decade’s pattern, that complacency could prove quite costly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":69,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182454324,"gmtCreate":1623600825868,"gmtModify":1704206851158,"author":{"id":"3582321146855651","authorId":"3582321146855651","authorIdStr":"3582321146855651","name":"siok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a04cfbf9a7eff8db17c547a33a563b0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582321146855651"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It
