It has since recovered somewhat, to around $400.</p><p>Then came Facebook parent Meta Platforms.After its own challenging earnings report, it lost a staggering $230 billion or so in market value in a single session. It, too, dropped back to early 2020 levels, though it “only” has fallen about 40% from its 52-week high. Unlike Netflix, it hasn’t had a bounce.</p><p>It’s theoretically possible to “catch a falling knife,” as the old Wall Street saying goes. But it’s also very likely you’ll get your fingers cut off if you plow cash into stocks that have fallen hard and fallen for good reason. On the other hand, both Netflix and Facebook stocks have fallen hard before … and ended up making investors a lot of money.</p><p>If you’re wondering whether this is another one of those lucrative buying opportunities, here’s a look at where these stocks are now – and which one is “less bad” than the other.</p><p>Just be warned that you’d be living dangerously.</p><p><b>Netflix</b></p><p>Shares in the streaming video were hammered in large part because of the slowing subscriber growth disclosed in its fourth-quarter earnings report. The company added just under 8.3 million worldwide subs, significantly fewer than the 8.5 million subscribers added in the fourth quarter of 2020. Even worse, Netflix offered a “borderline catastrophic” forecast of just 2.5 million subscriber adds for the current quarter – a huge drop from 3.98 million it added in its 2021 first quarter. Analysts had been hoping for 6.93 million adds – almost three times what Netflix is now forecasting. So it’s no surprise we saw such a violent reaction.</p><p>Now, it wasn’t all bad or all unexpected. Netflix added more subscribers than the 8.19 million that analysts had forecast. Earnings per share blew away expectations at $1.33 vs. forecasts of just 82 cents.</p><p>But for a long time, we’ve been talking about the threat of market saturation and competition taking a toll on Netflix’s growth metrics. Yet while the big multiples on future earnings and sales have come down a bit since the stock’s plunge, the numbers are still stunning. Look at that forward P/E of 36.9 and a forward price/sales of about 5.5. Larger media rival Walt Disney Co. is about 30.4 and 3.6 on both those metrics, by way of example.</p><p>What’s more, Disney has theatrical releases and theme parks and merchandising to fall back on. Netflix remains a one-trick pony: streaming.</p><p>The major levers it can pull here are adding new viewers or increasing subscription costs (which it did a month ago, ahead of earnings). Of course, higher costs make the service a harder sell, especially when there are so many alternatives.</p><p>It makes you wonder what, if anything, Netflix can do to right the ship.</p><p>To its credit, Netflix continues to release high-performing content such as “Don’t Look Up,” which has been widely praised.</p><p>But Wall Street remains skeptical of whether a few new good shows on the currently dominant streaming platform is enough. For a stock that has long been defined by constant growth, it could be a rough awakening for investors if Netflix instead has become a mature company that simply depends on what it already has.</p><p><b>Facebook</b></p><p>Meta Platforms is no picnic for investors either. It was slammed after a disastrous fourth-quarter earnings report sent shares tumbling more than 20% in a single day.</p><p>In simplest terms, daily active user metrics on the flagship Facebook network were the bad news. For starters, they increased just 5% from a year ago to 1.93 billion, short of targets for 1.95 billion. Plus they actually declined from last quarter.</p><p>Bullish investors may point to other details in the social media giant’s results that weren’t quite so miserable. It posted a modest beat on revenue, as measured by the consensus target of $33.4 billion for sales, thanks in part to exceeding expectations on revenue per user estimates. Longtime watchers of this stock will know that this long-term uptrend in revenue per user has largely been driving results; total users in the key North America and European Union markets have been flatlining for a while.</p><p>But before you take a flyer on Facebook, let’s get to the additional risks, which, frankly, don’t come from any hard numbers and thus may be harder to pin down.</p><p>The company is struggling to deal with users creating multiple Facebook accounts. That makes many wonder if its user numbers are artificially inflated and the disappointing numbers are in fact much, much worse.</p><p>On top of that, privacy concerns may be coming home to roost at long last. After the earnings announcement, there have been reports that something as simple as a change in iPhone privacy settings can wipe $10 billion off earnings this year.</p><p>Then there is now chatter that Meta is “threatening” to pulling out of the European Union with its flagship Facebook and Instagram platforms because of local internet privacy rules. Talk about an empty threat. Abandon one of your largest markets just like that because you don’t like changes in the law? That kind of talk won’t make regulators or legislators back down.</p><p>There is always a chance that some of these dark clouds part and the sun shines again for Meta in the months ahead. However, unlike Netflix and its series of more practical concerns, Meta has made a habit of making terrible headlines when it comes to privacy concerns and bad actors on its platform.</p><p>From documented 2016 election interference by Russia to the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal to a $5 billion fine from the FTC in 2019 over privacy violations to chronic misinformation about COVID-19 in the last year or two… this is clearly a pattern.</p><p>It is not an exaggeration to say that Meta is dealing what could be existential threats to its Facebook platform. Even employees know this, and talented engineers are reportedly demanding a “brand tax” to go work at Meta in the current environment for fear they will have a black mark on their resume.</p><p><b>So which one is ‘less bad?’</b></p><p>Netflix may not be perfect. But given the big-picture threats to Meta Platforms, I would be more inclined to grant the streaming giant the benefit of the doubt over a social-media platform that may be just one more bad headline away from obsolescence.</p><p>Both platforms are facing serious challenges to growth because of user issues. But Netflix still seems to at least be the same basic platform, albeit one that’s facing the pressures of market saturation and fierce competition.</p><p>The jury is out on whether Facebook’s current model will even survive, either from consumer backlash or regulatory intervention. That’s a much greater level of uncertainty, so on that reason alone I’d personally steer clear of Meta’s stock at all costs.</p><p>Though honestly, the safest option is to forgo both stocks altogether.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Netflix vs. Facebook: Which is the better stock after those shocking earnings? </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\">\nNetflix vs. Facebook: Which is the better stock after those shocking earnings? \n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-08 08:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/netflix-vs-facebook-which-is-the-better-stock-after-those-shocking-earnings-11644270425?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Both have recovered from steep declines in the past.

That’s a much greater level of uncertainty, so on that reason alone I’d personally steer clear of Meta’s stock at all costs.Though honestly, the safest option is to forgo both stocks altogether.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":275,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9090045746,"gmtCreate":1643045823083,"gmtModify":1676533768318,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9090045746","repostId":"1132841886","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132841886","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1643034928,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132841886?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-24 22:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Stocks Dropped in Morning Trading,with Bit Digital,Canaan and Riot Blockchain Falling over 10%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132841886","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Crypto stocks dropped in morning trading,with Bit Digital,Canaan and Riot Blockchain falling over 10","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Crypto stocks dropped in morning trading,with Bit Digital,Canaan and Riot Blockchain falling over 10%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8320dc647afdb75ab25a468fd2672f4d\" tg-width=\"287\" tg-height=\"386\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bitcoin tumbled almost 9per cent on Monday to its lowest in six months as fears of a Russian attack on Ukraine saw riskier assets worldwide extend their sell-off.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In simple terms, this means PubMatic&#39;s solutions handle the optimization of ad placement for its clients, the publishers selling their display space. While publishers do offer some level of input, such as the minimum price they&#39;d be willing to accept for their display space, it&#39;s PubMatic&#39;s programmatic ad platform that handles everything else.</p><p>What makes PubMatic such a no-brainer buy over the long term is the undeniable shift of advertising dollars to digital platforms. According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.</p><p>However, PubMatic&#39;s growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.</p><p>With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fa-key-unlocking-blockchain-digital-id-security-hacker-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Ping Identity Holdings</h2><p>Another fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company <b>Ping Identity</b> (NYSE:PING).</p><p>Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don&#39;t take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.</p><p>As its name implies, Ping&#39;s cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It&#39;s particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).</p><p>What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company&#39;s temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping&#39;s short-term revenue growth, it didn&#39;t slow the company&#39;s annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping&#39;s revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping&#39;s overall health.</p><p>Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That&#39;s a recipe for success.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fwoman-testing-server-data-center-network-wireless-iot-business-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Fastly</h2><p>A fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock <b>Fastly</b> (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).</p><p>Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly&#39;s wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.</p><p>Although an outage isn&#39;t good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn&#39;t cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.</p><p>Fastly&#39;s allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds. Fastly&#39;s network should be leaned on heavily as the metaverse takes shape in the years to come.</p><p>With an adjusted gross margin that&#39;s consistently come in between 57% and 62%, Fastly is a good bet to net patient investors a whopper of a return over the long run.</p></body></html>","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>4 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $1 Million by 2030</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\">\n4 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $1 Million by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-24 23:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/23/4-stocks-can-turn-100000-into-1-million-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Since the stock market bottomed out in March 2020, investors have enjoyed historic gains.

According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.However, PubMatic's growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.Image source: Getty Images.Ping Identity HoldingsAnother fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company Ping Identity (NYSE:PING).Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don't take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.As its name implies, Ping's cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It's particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company's temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping's short-term revenue growth, it didn't slow the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping's revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping's overall health.Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That's a recipe for success.Image source: Getty Images.FastlyA fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock Fastly (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly's wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.Although an outage isn't good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn't cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.Fastly's allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds. Fastly's network should be leaned on heavily as the metaverse takes shape in the years to come.With an adjusted gross margin that's consistently come in between 57% and 62%, Fastly is a good bet to net patient investors a whopper of a return over the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":327,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004266412,"gmtCreate":1642622778678,"gmtModify":1676533727899,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9004266412","repostId":"2204307707","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2204307707","pubTimestamp":1642597998,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2204307707?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-19 21:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Unstoppable Growth Stocks to Buy If There's a Stock Market Sell-Off","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2204307707","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These three top growth names are already down a lot and trade at fair prices, but could become really huge bargains if the market falls more amid rising interest rates.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Amid fears over interest rate hikes, many top growth stocks are down 20%, 40%, or even 60% or more from their all-time highs in a relatively short amount of time.

Sea Limited</h2><p>Shares of Southeast Asian mobile gaming, e-commerce, and digital finance company <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE) have been more than cut in half in just two months. Sure, the company reported slowing sequential growth in its profitable digital entertainment segment last quarter, which is heavily influenced by the four-year-old gaming hit <i>Free Fire</i>. However, it was somewhat inevitable that mobile-gaming growth might soften, as the third quarter marked the first summer since vaccines were widely available.</p><p>Meanwhile, Sea&#39;s highest-growth businesses, including its Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital finance ecosystem, showed strong growth. E-commerce revenue rocketed 134% last quarter, and SeaMoney surged more than 800%, albeit off a small base.</p><p>Yes, Chinese internet giant <b>Tencent</b> did just sell some of its Sea Limited stake, which could shake others&#39; confidence in the company. But Tencent really just sold off a small portion of its holdings, decreasing its economic interest in Sea from 21.3% to 18.7%. That&#39;s just a 12% trimming of its position. In addition, Tencent is converting super-voting shares to regular shares, so its voting power will go under 10%.</p><p>The move might actually be due to the fact that Sea is rapidly expanding around the world, entering the huge markets of India and Europe last year. Likely, customers and authorities in those countries wouldn&#39;t want a company overly influenced by China to be too successful or retain too much consumer data. So the divestiture and reduction in Tencent&#39;s voting share could have been necessary for Sea to succeed in its next wave of growth.</p><p>After Sea&#39;s rapid correction, its stock trades for just eight times revenue. And while the company is burning through cash, it still has about $7 billion in net cash on its balance sheet, and it grew revenue by more than 120% last quarter. It&#39;s hard to say when these types of stocks will bottom, but Sea is still executing quite well, and its growth path is long.</p><h2>2. CrowdStrike</h2><p>Although it&#39;s already 40% off its highs,<b> CrowdStrike Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:CRWD) still trades at an expensive-looking 34 times sales, so it could very well sell off further.</p><p>But it also might not. CrowdStrike is a best-in-class cloud security company that can justify its high valuation. Not only is its patented Falcon agent and Threat Graph architecture taking market share from legacy cyber players, but the overall cybersecurity market itself also should grow at double-digit rates for the next decade, especially in the cloud, where CrowdStrike excels.</p><p>The company grew annualized recurring revenue by 67% last quarter, and added customers at an even higher 75% clip, with a net retention rate of 125%. But it isn&#39;t resting on those laurels, as it&#39;s still investing heavily, both internally and through acquisitions, to expand its offerings from endpoint security to an entire comprehensive cybersecurity platform.</p><p>The company sees its total addressable market growing to $55 billion next year, up from $25 billion at its initial public offering, and growing to a potential $116 billion by 2025 as enterprises are forced to invest more in cloud-based security amid rising threats.</p><p>What I like most about CrowdStrike is the network effect of its platform, which uses a combination of artificial intelligence and centralization that enables its Threat Graph to become smarter the more clients it gets. With that compounding advantage and huge growth opportunity, the stock is a definite buy target amid any further sell-off.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STNE\">StoneCo</a></h2><p>Brazilian payments company <b>StoneCo</b> (NASDAQ:STNE) is down nearly 80% over the past year and carries a market cap of just $5 billion today, so it might be hard to see how it falls further. But of course, anything is possible.</p><p>StoneCo&#39;s stock has been decimated amid high inflation and surging interest rates in Brazil. While its payment processing business shouldn&#39;t be too affected, since it takes a fixed percentage of every transaction that goes through its merchant customers, other elements of its business have been negatively affected.</p><p>Mainly, StoneCo had been ramping up its merchant lending in the third quarter just as interest rates have spiked, which could be a problem. Brazil&#39;s economic picture has deteriorated somewhat, which is not exactly the type of environment in which you want to make more loans. In addition, StoneCo has to borrow on its own lines of credit to fund the loans, but it has been reluctant to raise rates on customers as rapidly as its own interest costs have gone up.  So margins in its credit business have come down.</p><p>At the same time, StoneCo is also doubling down on certain growth initiatives. Management wants the company to branch out from its core high-margin payments processing business to become a comprehensive digital open-banking solution across enterprise resource planning, order management software, insurance, and other digital banking products.</p><p>These growth initiatives could make StoneCo a much bigger business in the long run, but it&#39;s requiring investment now. So the company&#39;s high 30.8% adjusted net income margin in the third quarter of 2020 plummeted to just a 9% net profit margin last quarter, with adjusted net profits falling 53.9% over the prior year.</p><p>While that drop looks scary, revenue did also surge 57.3% as management refocuses on growth over profits right now, coming out of the pandemic. If its initiatives work out, and if Brazil&#39;s economy doesn&#39;t deteriorate too much, margins should rise again and the stock could bounce back in a big way. So investors should definitely look to this high-risk, high-reward growth stock amid any further sell-off.</p></body></html>","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>3 Unstoppable Growth Stocks to Buy If There's a Stock Market Sell-Off</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\">\n3 Unstoppable Growth Stocks to Buy If There's a Stock Market Sell-Off\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-19 21:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/18/3-unstoppable-growth-stocks-to-buy-if-theres-a-sto/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Amid fears over interest rate hikes, many top growth stocks are down 20%, 40%, or even 60% or more from their all-time highs in a relatively short amount of time.

The man hailed as the “Dogefather” confirmed that <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) was going to start accepting the popular meme coin as payment for company merchandise. This news sent Dogecoin price shooting up as investors pondered what the future would bring for both the original meme coin and for Tesla stock.

Today’s news hasn’t helped in this regard. As of this writing, Tesla stock is down 0.83% for the day and looks ready to close out this week on a low note. However, the gains it experienced a few days ago are keeping it in the green by 2.4% for the week.

Musk is known for missing deadlines, but through it all, Tesla has maintained its spot at the front of the EV race. And despite its turbulent December, Tesla stock remains in the green by more than 57% for the past six months. Investors have plenty to be optimistic about, particularly if the company secures its expansion into India. If it involves bad public relations, Tesla is very likely to shake it off easily.</p><p>While it may not receive much coverage, Tesla does offer quite a bit of company-themed merchandise. Now that it’s accepting DOGE, it’s opened itself up to a new range of shoppers. As<i>InvestorPlace’</i>s Joel Baglole recently laid out, “a whistle shaped like Tesla’s Cybertruck costs 300 Dogecoin.

However, this isn't fully indicative of business performance.</p>\n<p>With over $255 billion in assets across 100 different countries and 72 million users, Coinbase has become a cornerstone of the crypto economy as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading, most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. The company takes a cut of every purchase of crypto on the platform, so the rise in popularity of cryptocurrency has resulted in impressive revenue success. The company's revenue increased by over 330% year over year in Q3. With this, the company has also achieved impressive profitability: Coinbase brought almost one-third of its revenue to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>While its reliance on cryptocurrencies like <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) has led to amazing growth recently, it's really a double-edged sword. The company makes money only on purchases of crypto, so in large-scale crypto sell-offs, the company is left stranded. This leaves Coinbase largely vulnerable to the winds of the crypto markets.</p>\n<p>With the recent sell-off of crypto and Bitcoin, Coinbase has followed suit -- falling to a valuation of just 22 times earnings. Whether this is justified or not, Coinbase will likely mimic the crypto market, and its success largely depends on the widespread adoption of crypto. Therefore, if you think that cryptocurrencies will skyrocket over the next decade, Coinbase could be a smart investment.</p>\n<h2>UiPath: An AI pureplay</h2>\n<p>While not as large as Coinbase, ARK ETFs hold over $1 billion of UiPath stock -- making it the sixth-largest holding across all of Wood's funds. UiPath is disrupting the way companies operate and handle tedious, repetitive tasks by normalizing the use of artificial intelligence and bots. The company has the vision to deliver a fully automated enterprise so that workers can optimize their efficiency, and the way the company is doing this has attracted companies like <b>AutoDesk</b> (NASDAQ:ADSK)&nbsp;and NASA.</p>\n<p>While UiPath's product sounds like a pie-in-the-sky dream, the company is more than real. It has over 9,600 customers and $818 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). With such dominance, UiPath has been named a market leader in the robotic process automation (RPA) market in <b>Gartner</b>'s Magic Quadrant. As the leader, it has gained the trust and confidence of companies that might be wary of bringing automation and robots into the workplace.</p>\n<p>UiPath has lots of potential to grow. The company sees a $30 billion addressable opportunity by 2024, which would be immense growth from its current $818 million in ARR. UiPath might get some pushback along the way from those wary of integrating robots into the workplace, but its robots can provide efficiency improvements. The company has saved its customers millions of hours and dollars without putting workers' jobs on the line. UiPath is meant to work alongside human employees, and it has been successful in doing so.</p>\n<p>Shares have fallen drastically since it came public earlier this year, and that has provided a valuation that an appealing valuation public at 60 times sales, but it now trades at 22 times sales. Cathie Wood has taken the opportunity to buy more shares this December, and you might want to consider doing the same.</p>\n<h2>Shopify: The rising e-commerce pick</h2>\n<p>Shopify is farther down at the 11th-largest ARK position, but still represents $950 million worth of shares -- and for good reason. The company has doubled its gross merchandise volume (GMV) over the past 16 months, reaching $400 billion in cumulative GMV on its merchants' platforms in Q3. This has been because of the company's relentless focus on its customers' growth and success. This is unrivaled by competitors like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.</p>\n<p>The company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.</p>\n<p>This focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.</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>3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves</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\">\n3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-26 10:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-bargain-stocks-that-cathie-wood-loves/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After an astounding 2020, the chief investment officer of ARK Invest and stock picker extraordinaire Cathie Wood has had a rough 2021.

Alternatively, a subscriber buying an eligible Apple device gets three months of free viewing.\nNetflix's basic plan is priced at $8.99 per month and Disney Plus comes for $7.99 a month, or $79.99 for a year's service.\nAs Apple trails the rest in the streaming industry, the speculated moves make sense in order for Cupertino to stay alive and thriving.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":77,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":832809347,"gmtCreate":1629602381589,"gmtModify":1676530077612,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?&nbsp;","listText":"?&nbsp;","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/832809347","repostId":"1114812009","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836435259,"gmtCreate":1629513402171,"gmtModify":1676530062736,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836435259","repostId":"2161149745","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2161149745","pubTimestamp":1629498960,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2161149745?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-21 06:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin rises 5 percent to $49,106","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2161149745","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"(Reuters) - Bitcoin rose 5.01 % to $49,106.4 at 22:04 GMT on Friday, adding $2,342.1 to its previous","content":"<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0b53399a7d28656bb2d3f7824cf0bea\" tg-width=\"200\" tg-height=\"135\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Reuters) - Bitcoin rose 5.01 % to $49,106.4 at 22:04 GMT on Friday, adding $2,342.1 to its previous close.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin, the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, is up 77.4% from the year's low of $27,734 on Jan. 4.</p>\n<p>Ether, the coin linked to the ethereum blockchain network, rose 3.03% to $3,281.82 on Friday, adding $96.64 to its previous close.</p>\n<p>(Reporting by Radhika Anilkumar in Bengaluru;

The reason behind the move is becoming more evident as the Japanese investment bank hasdumped $14 billion worth of US-listed stocks in the last quarter, nearly triple the amount in the quarter before last. Cash generated from the sales is expected to fund new investments in technology startups.\nBloomberg data estimates SoftBank sold $6 billion worth of Facebook Inc., Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc., Salesforce.com Inc., and Netflix Inc. in the second quarter. Another $4 billion came from sales of Uber Technologies Inc. and DoorDash Inc. In total, around $14 billion in stocks were sold to invest in startup investments for its Vision Fund.\n\"The last three quarters have largely been defined by the potential for Vision Fund portfolio companies to go public, but anew theme is emerging as SoftBank starts to take money off the table,\" Kirk Boodry, an analyst at Redex Research in Tokyo, told clients in a note after SoftBank's earnings announcement on Aug. 10.\"That theme probably picks up steam as the quarter goes on.\"\nSB Northstar, a unit set up to trade public stocks and derivatives, where SoftBank founder and CEO Masayoshi Sont holds a 33% stake, also sold 2.4 million shares of PayPal Holdings Inc., 4.4 million shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., and about 367,000 shares of Amazon.com Inc. The sales generated about $2.37 billion.\nSB Northstar appears to bereducing exposure to mega-cap technology companies. Its portfolio declined to $13.6 billion as of June, from $22 billion at the end of 2020.\nSont told investors he isn't ready to sell stakes in startups that have already gone public in a recent call with investors. He said thecash generated from the sales is used to finance Vision Fund deals.\nBloomberg notes, \"the company doesn't make public the exact asset sales figures. It booked a total of $4.3 billion in realized gains between SB Northstar and its two Vision Fund entities last quarter.\"\nSo theartificial gamma squeeze that helped the NASDAQ double off its March 2020 lows appears to be a ploy by Son so his funds could dump big tech names to fund Vision Fund deals.\nIn March, it was revealed that Son was being investigated by the SEC for triggering the melt-up in tech stocks.\nWith the news, Son is exiting big-tech stocks - it could be disastrous if other market participants began dumping as liquidity problems could cascade into panic selling.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":111,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831834855,"gmtCreate":1629299214277,"gmtModify":1676529997196,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831834855","repostId":"2160737882","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160737882","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1629298591,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2160737882?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-18 22:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow, S&P 500 turn higher late-morning Wednesday, with Fed minutes on deck","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160737882","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Target earnings and sales top expectations\nU.S. stock benchmarks were tilting higher late-morning We","content":"<h3><b>Target earnings and sales top expectations</b></h3>\n<p>U.S. stock benchmarks were tilting higher late-morning Wednesday, paring earlier declines, as investors awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve's July policy meeting a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&amp;P 500 index broke a streak of five straight record finishes.</p>\n<p>Investors will also hear from St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard, who will be interviewed by MarketWatch at noon Eastern Time.</p>\n<h3><b>What are major indexes doing?</b></h3>\n<p>On Tuesday, the Dow&nbsp;(<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/.DJI\">DJIA</a>) fell 282.12 points, or 0.8%, while the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/.SPX\">S&amp;P 500</a> declined 0.7%, retreating from record levels after data showed a larger-than-expected drop in July retail sales.

The daily average of deaths slipped to 696 on Tuesday from 704 on Monday, while hospitalizations increased to 83,291 from 82,519 on Monday, the most since Feb. 11.\n-William Watts\nWhich companies are in focus?\nHow are other assets faring?\n$(END)$ Dow Jones Newswires\nAugust 18, 2021 10:49 ET (14:49 GMT)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839810732,"gmtCreate":1629138356526,"gmtModify":1676529942965,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582535927405335","idStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839810732","repostId":"2159522219","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":164,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":177265108,"gmtCreate":1627225558404,"gmtModify":1703485751523,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177265108","repostId":"1153219140","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":298,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839810732,"gmtCreate":1629138356526,"gmtModify":1676529942965,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839810732","repostId":"2159522219","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":164,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148343077,"gmtCreate":1625936833999,"gmtModify":1703751058626,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148343077","repostId":"1177397700","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177397700","pubTimestamp":1625876446,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177397700?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-10 08:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Which Company Can Reach $1 Trillion After Facebook?

Investors have been wary of the stock this year (the price is up only about 8.4%), while many bank indexes are up more than 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>As a result, the struggles of M&amp;T have brought the bank down to a historically low valuation that makes this a potentially good time for interested investors to buy in on the stock. Here's why.</p>\n<h2>A tough second quarter</h2>\n<p>The regional bank (it manages $150 billion in assets) generated diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.41 on total revenue of $1.47 billion in the second quarter. Both EPS and revenue missed analysts' expectations for the quarter.</p>\n<p>There were some <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time expenses baked into the quarter, including $4 million related to M&amp;T Bank's acquisition of <b>People's United Financial</b> (NASDAQ:PBCT), which will propel M&amp;T past $200 billion in assets when the deal is complete. Without such expenses, M&amp;T would have generated diluted operating EPS of $3.45, which still would have come up short of analysts' consensus of $3.60 for the quarter. Net interest income for the quarter, which is essentially the profit made on loans and securities, fell 4% from the first quarter of the year. Loan growth continues to be very hard to find across the banking industry, but even more so for M&amp;T, which is mainly a commercial lender -- consumer lending is seeing more momentum than the commercial side.</p>\n<p>Additionally, M&amp;T is unique in that it continues to see credit quality heading in the wrong direction. In the second quarter, the bank saw its nonaccrual loans, those that have gone 90 days without receiving a payment, climb 15% from the first quarter of the year. CFO Darren King also said that the bank expects to disclose in its second-quarter regulatory filing an increase in criticized loans, which are not necessarily past due but have given the bank reason to believe they could be headed that way. King attributed the rise in nonaccrual loans to \"the prolonged recovery in certain sectors of the economy, notably hospitality and healthcare.\" M&amp;T Bank also released only $15 million from its reserve capital built up for loan losses back as profits in the quarter, which is a lot less than many of its peers.</p>\n<p>Expenses at the bank in Q2 rose more than 7% year over year, and King said there could be some pressure on expenses for the remainder of the year. King said that excluding one-time expenses like those related to the acquisition of People's United, he expects core operating expenses for the year to be 3% to 5% higher than in 2020, mainly because of items such as corporate incentives and expenses related to fee income growth.</p>\n<h2>Some optimism on credit</h2>\n<p>While credit is concerning, there are reasons to remain optimistic. Net charge-offs (debt unlikely to be collected and a good indicator of actual losses) continued to fall in the quarter, and King said the bank is seeing some good signs for loans in its hard-hit sectors.</p>\n<p>For criticized loans, King said that while certain properties are struggling, many are still earning interest because the loan sponsors have outside sources of funding to support the deals. King also said that appraisals on underlying properties in its criticized and nonaccrual loans have remained strong. Occupancy rates in the bank's hotel portfolio are up across the board, but not yet at pre-pandemic levels, he said, largely due to the continued lack of business travel. King believes that as vacancy rates and revenue per available room pick up, those assets should revert from criticized to performing. Obviously, there are risks of this not happening due to the surging delta variant of the coronavirus, but M&amp;T has traditionally been a pretty conservative bank when it comes to credit, so I'm not ready to panic just yet.</p>\n<p>We also know that M&amp;T has underwritten its hotel and retail loans fairly conservatively. Last year, the bank disclosed that the average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, which essentially tells you how much equity a borrower has put into a property, came in at 53% in M&amp;T's hotel portfolio and 57% in the retail portfolio. That means that borrowers put down 47% and 43% of equity, respectively, on the property at origination. In New York City, where retail and hotels got hit particularly hard at the beginning of the pandemic, the LTVs are even better, in the low 40s.</p>\n<h2>People's United acquisition</h2>\n<p>Other good signs are that M&amp;T Bank continues to grow non-interest-bearing deposits, those it pays no interest on, nicely, with non-interest-bearing deposits in Q2 up nearly 4% from the sequential quarter. These deposits now make up roughly 43% of total deposits.</p>\n<p>The last reason to remain positive is M&amp;T's upcoming acquisition of People's United, a bank based in Connecticut with roughly $60 billion in assets. The addition of People's United is going to significantly enlarge M&amp;T and create a very dense footprint between Buffalo, N.Y.,&nbsp; Washington, D.C., and Boston. The acquisition will immediately increase M&amp;T's tangible book value (TBV), which is equity minus goodwill and intangible assets. Banks trade based on TBV, so a growing TBV typically helps the stock.</p>\n<p>The deal is also supposed to boost M&amp;T's EPS by 10% to 12% in 2023. The deal should open up some new revenue opportunities as well because People's United has lots of small business commercial customers, which M&amp;T does very well with in its own markets.

Investors have been wary of the stock this year (the price is up only about 8.4%), while many bank indexes are up more than 20% year to date.\nAs a result, the struggles of M&T have brought the bank down to a historically low valuation that makes this a potentially good time for interested investors to buy in on the stock. Here's why.\nA tough second quarter\nThe regional bank (it manages $150 billion in assets) generated diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.41 on total revenue of $1.47 billion in the second quarter. Both EPS and revenue missed analysts' expectations for the quarter.\nThere were some one-time expenses baked into the quarter, including $4 million related to M&T Bank's acquisition of People's United Financial (NASDAQ:PBCT), which will propel M&T past $200 billion in assets when the deal is complete. Without such expenses, M&T would have generated diluted operating EPS of $3.45, which still would have come up short of analysts' consensus of $3.60 for the quarter. Net interest income for the quarter, which is essentially the profit made on loans and securities, fell 4% from the first quarter of the year. Loan growth continues to be very hard to find across the banking industry, but even more so for M&T, which is mainly a commercial lender -- consumer lending is seeing more momentum than the commercial side.\nAdditionally, M&T is unique in that it continues to see credit quality heading in the wrong direction. In the second quarter, the bank saw its nonaccrual loans, those that have gone 90 days without receiving a payment, climb 15% from the first quarter of the year. CFO Darren King also said that the bank expects to disclose in its second-quarter regulatory filing an increase in criticized loans, which are not necessarily past due but have given the bank reason to believe they could be headed that way. King attributed the rise in nonaccrual loans to \"the prolonged recovery in certain sectors of the economy, notably hospitality and healthcare.\" M&T Bank also released only $15 million from its reserve capital built up for loan losses back as profits in the quarter, which is a lot less than many of its peers.\nExpenses at the bank in Q2 rose more than 7% year over year, and King said there could be some pressure on expenses for the remainder of the year. King said that excluding one-time expenses like those related to the acquisition of People's United, he expects core operating expenses for the year to be 3% to 5% higher than in 2020, mainly because of items such as corporate incentives and expenses related to fee income growth.\nSome optimism on credit\nWhile credit is concerning, there are reasons to remain optimistic. Net charge-offs (debt unlikely to be collected and a good indicator of actual losses) continued to fall in the quarter, and King said the bank is seeing some good signs for loans in its hard-hit sectors.\nFor criticized loans, King said that while certain properties are struggling, many are still earning interest because the loan sponsors have outside sources of funding to support the deals. King also said that appraisals on underlying properties in its criticized and nonaccrual loans have remained strong. Occupancy rates in the bank's hotel portfolio are up across the board, but not yet at pre-pandemic levels, he said, largely due to the continued lack of business travel. King believes that as vacancy rates and revenue per available room pick up, those assets should revert from criticized to performing. Obviously, there are risks of this not happening due to the surging delta variant of the coronavirus, but M&T has traditionally been a pretty conservative bank when it comes to credit, so I'm not ready to panic just yet.\nWe also know that M&T has underwritten its hotel and retail loans fairly conservatively. Last year, the bank disclosed that the average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, which essentially tells you how much equity a borrower has put into a property, came in at 53% in M&T's hotel portfolio and 57% in the retail portfolio. That means that borrowers put down 47% and 43% of equity, respectively, on the property at origination. In New York City, where retail and hotels got hit particularly hard at the beginning of the pandemic, the LTVs are even better, in the low 40s.\nPeople's United acquisition\nOther good signs are that M&T Bank continues to grow non-interest-bearing deposits, those it pays no interest on, nicely, with non-interest-bearing deposits in Q2 up nearly 4% from the sequential quarter. These deposits now make up roughly 43% of total deposits.\nThe last reason to remain positive is M&T's upcoming acquisition of People's United, a bank based in Connecticut with roughly $60 billion in assets. The addition of People's United is going to significantly enlarge M&T and create a very dense footprint between Buffalo, N.Y.,  Washington, D.C., and Boston. The acquisition will immediately increase M&T's tangible book value (TBV), which is equity minus goodwill and intangible assets. Banks trade based on TBV, so a growing TBV typically helps the stock.\nThe deal is also supposed to boost M&T's EPS by 10% to 12% in 2023. The deal should open up some new revenue opportunities as well because People's United has lots of small business commercial customers, which M&T does very well with in its own markets. M&T can cross-sell a lot of its fee income products to these customers, while People's United brings a solid equipment financing business that it can expand to M&T customers.\nGetting in at a good valuation\nCurrently, M&T is trading at about 161% to TBV, which is low for the bank historically -- it has traded this low over the past decade only during the pandemic.\n\nMTB Price to Tangible Book Value data by YCharts\nM&T is also a bank that regularly puts up a strong return on equity, the technical rate of return the company makes on its capital.\n\nMTB Return on Equity data by YCharts\nWhile credit quality is the big question, and it's never good to see nonaccrual and criticized loans rising, I do think the bank is likely acting conservatively right now, as it has in the past. I also think that commercial lending will eventually pick up (although likely not this year). There's also the acquisition of People's United, which gives M&T increased scale, and the fact that this is the same bank with the same management team and the same business model that has been successful for a long time now.\nWhile there may be some short-term pain, this is an opportunity to buy a long-standing, strong-performing bank stock at a historically low valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":49,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177262553,"gmtCreate":1627225488472,"gmtModify":1703485752190,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?&nbsp;","listText":"?&nbsp;","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177262553","repostId":"1118041582","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118041582","pubTimestamp":1627175995,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1118041582?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-25 09:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US IPO Week Ahead: 17 IPOs are coming","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118041582","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"After another week of record activity, the IPO market is expected to remain hot with 17 IPOs schedul","content":"<p>After another week of record activity, the IPO market is expected to remain hot with 17 IPOs scheduled for the week ahead.</p>\n<p>Long-awaited retail brokerage&nbsp;<b>Robinhood Markets</b>(HOOD) plans to raise $2.2 billion at a $36.8 billion market cap.

The Fed also penciled in three rated hikes in 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9003644731,"gmtCreate":1640981100048,"gmtModify":1676533560249,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9003644731","repostId":"2195448557","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2195448557","pubTimestamp":1640964603,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2195448557?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-12-31 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Could Apple's Market Cap Hit $4 Trillion in 2022?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2195448557","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"As the Street wonders when Apple can break through the $3 trillion mark, investors should look even further ahead: Is a $4 trillion market cap on the horizon?","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Shares of technology giant <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) soared in 2021.

Apple, meanwhile, trades at only 31 times its FCF. Apple&#39;s stock price would have to rise 35% for its FCF valuation multiple to match Microsoft&#39;s. This alone would put the company&#39;s market capitalization at about $4 trillion.</p><p>There is actually a good case for Apple stock&#39;s valuation to see multiple expansion in the coming years: The tech giant&#39;s services business, which is a more reliable revenue source than its products, is growing as a percentage of Apple&#39;s total business. With a more predictable and reliable revenue source (that appears to still have lots of upside) increasingly driving Apple&#39;s growth, investors may start rewarding the stock with higher valuation multiples. In fiscal 2021, Apple&#39;s services revenue was 19% of revenue, up from less than 18% of revenue two years ago and 15% three years ago.</p><p>But even without this much multiple expansion, strong fundamentals could lift Apple shares meaningfully in 2022 and beyond. Consider that the company is seeing strong double-digit revenue growth recently, with record fiscal fourth-quarter revenue across every geographic and product segment. Specifically, Apple&#39;s fiscal fourth-quarter revenue came in at $83.4 billion, up from $64.7 billion in the year-ago quarter. But management estimates that revenue for the period would have been $6 billion higher if it weren&#39;t for supply constraints during the period.</p><p>Suffice to say, Apple&#39;s business is firing on all cylinders.

Even if everything goes well for Apple as a business, the stock itself could do poorly in the near term. Sometimes, for one reason or another, stocks fall in and out of favor. So even though shares appear undervalued today, the stock could fall before it rises.</p><p>And there&#39;s always a chance that Apple sees multiple <i>compression</i> instead of multiple expansion. While Apple&#39;s business fundamentals appear worthy of a Microsoft-like premium, the company&#39;s shares have usually traded at a discount to Microsoft&#39;s in terms of valuation multiples because Microsoft&#39;s business model is considered to be more sustainable and less dependent on blockbuster product hits like new iPhones. Apple notably also makes more than half of its sales from a single product: the iPhone. Its heavy reliance on a single product segment generally makes Wall Street view the stock as risker than Microsoft, which has a business primarily made up of recurring revenue from various software and services sources.</p><p>But given Apple&#39;s long history of pricing power, loyal customers, and an ability to bring to market products in entirely new categories every now and then, the tech company will likely keep succeeding -- and its market cap could march toward $4 trillion.</p></body></html>","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>Could Apple's Market Cap Hit $4 Trillion in 2022?</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\">\nCould Apple's Market Cap Hit $4 Trillion in 2022?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-31 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/31/could-apples-market-cap-hit-4-trillion-in-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Shares of technology giant Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) soared in 2021.

It’s not hard to do.”</p>\n<p>Belfort’s breezy pronouncement came as part of the publicity drumming for the release of&nbsp;<b>Martin Scorsese’s</b>&nbsp;film version of Belfort’s autobiography<b>“The Wolf of Wall Street,”</b>which starred&nbsp;<b>Leonardo DiCaprio</b>&nbsp;as Belfort.</p>\n<p>The New York article also featured input from&nbsp;<b>Greg Coleman,</b>the FBI special agent responsible for Belfort’s arrest for fraud and stock market manipulation. From Coleman’s perspective, Belfort wasn't worthy of movie star-level worship.</p>\n<p>“From a moral perspective, he was a reprehensible human being,” Coleman said about Belfort. “Admiration would be the wrong word, but from the perspective of manipulating the market, he’s one of the best there is.”</p>\n<p><b>A Kick In The Teeth:</b>A native of New York City, Belfort was born in 1962 in the Bronx and raised in the Bayside section of Queens. Both of his parents were accountants who stressed the value of education and maturity.</p>\n<p>Belfort received a degree in biology from American University and saw his career path in dentistry. He made money to pursue his dental studies by selling Italian ices on a beach in Queens&nbsp;and enrolled in the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.</p>\n<p>He dropped out after the first day of studies when the dean of the school made the astonishing pronouncement:&nbsp;“The golden age of dentistry is over. If you're here simply because you're looking to make a lot of money, you're in the wrong place.\"</p>\n<p>But what was the right career for making money?</p>\n<p>Belfort returned from his day in dental school and found work as a door-to-door salesman in Long Island, where he sold meat and seafood. He started to grow a business based on this endeavor, but the effort failed to click and he wound up filing for bankruptcy by the time he was 25.</p>\n<p>“I was pretty talented,” he would later recall about this unsuccessful venture. “But the margins were too small.”</p>\n<p>However, a family friend pointed him to a position as a stockbroker broker trainee with the Manhattan-based firm<b>L.F. Rothschild,</b>but he lost that position when the firm experienced financial difficulty after the 1987 stock market crash.</p>\n<p>He took positions with other firms including&nbsp;<b>D.H. Blair</b>&nbsp;and<b>&nbsp;F.D. Roberts Securities and Investors Center</b>&nbsp;—&nbsp;the latter was apenny stockbrokerage shut down in 1989 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) one year after Belfort joined its staff.</p>\n<p>Discouraged at working for others in unstable environments, Belfort decided to turn entrepreneur and create his own financial operations,&nbsp;and that’s when the would-be dentist started his career lycanthropy into becoming the&nbsp;<b>Wolf of Wall Street.</b></p>\n<p><b>The Kodak Pitch:</b>In 1989, the 27-year-old Belfort teamed with 23-year-old&nbsp;<b>Kenneth Greene,</b>a fellow Investors Center employee who previously drove one of Belfort’s trucks during his meat selling days.</p>\n<p>The pair opened their own brokerage in a spare office in a Queens car dealership and then arranged to set up a franchise of&nbsp;<b>Stratton Securities,</b>a small broker-dealer operation.</p>\n<p>The duo seemed to strike gold quickly. Within five months of starting their franchise, they accumulated $250,000 and were able to buy Stratton Securities for themselves, renaming it&nbsp;<b>Stratton Oakmont</b>&nbsp;and establishing an operations center in Lake Success, a Long Island town which was best known as the first site of the United Nations headquarters before its Manhattan campus was constructed.</p>\n<p>By 1991, Stratton Oakmont generated $30 million in commissions from a 150-person workforce. Many of his team members were twentysomethings from blue-collar backgrounds eager to make a maximum amount of money in a minimal amount of time.</p>\n<p>Belfort also enjoyed his first brush with fame in 1991 via a profile inForbesthat harshly displayed his virtues and vices. On the plus side, the Forbes coverage offered insight into Belfort’s instruction on teaching his eager young employees the art of cold-calling potential investors.</p>\n<p>Using a technique he dubbed the<b>“Kodak pitch,”</b>Belfort instructed his brokers to begin their telephone spiel with a blue-chip stock such as&nbsp;<b>Eastman Kodak</b>&nbsp;before doing a hard-sell on obscurepenny stocks.</p>\n<p>Belfort also insisted that his brokers refuse to take no for an answer, offering them the mantra<b>“Whip their necks off, don't let ‘em off the phone.”</b></p>\n<p>Belfort’s team took his lessons to heart:&nbsp;Forbes reported they were, on average, earning $85,000 a year.</p>\n<p>Yet Forbes also highlighted Stratton Oakmont’s loosey-goosey approach to ethical operations, noting that the SEC began investigating the brokerage in its first year of operations over questionable sales and trading practices. Indeed, the magazine detailed several examples of pump-and-dump efforts by the Stratton Oakmont team that drove up prices on penny stock shares before selling them at their artificially inflated peak.</p>\n<p>Forbes diplomatically declined to identify Stratton Oakmont as a “boiler room,” but it was obvious what was taking place.</p>\n<p>Noting these antics, along with the SEC’s receipt of customer complaints, Forbes dubbed Belfort as “a kind of twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.”&nbsp;Belfort defended his actions, claiming, “We contact high-net-worth investors. I couldn't live with myself if I was calling people who make $50,000 a year, and I'm taking their child's tuition money.”</p>\n<p>Also cited in his media debut was Belfort’s automobile, a&nbsp;<b>$175,000 Ferrari Testarossa.</b>This lavish hedonism was the start of a trend that would shape and then disfigure Belfort’s life.</p>\n<p><b>Ain’t We Got Fun?</b>Besides the SEC, Stratton Oakmont had been under watch by the&nbsp;<b>National Association of Securities Dealers</b>, the forerunner of today’s Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, right after its founding. Yet Stratton Oakmont was not expelled from the NASD until 1996 and Belfort was not indicted for securities fraud until 1999.</p>\n<p>In the years between his Forbes profile and his arrest, Belfort engaged an extravagant form of slow-motion, self-immolation fueled by drug addictions and financed by his pump-and-dump business.</p>\n<p>“I suffered from a disease called ‘more,’ he would lament in retrospect. “No matter how much I had, I wanted more.<b>You don't lose your ethics all at once.</b>It happens very slowly and, almost imperceptibly, you know you're doing things right and one day you step over the line.”</p>\n<p>Well, Belfort certainly went very much over that proverbial line. Financially, he was far ahead of the average American —&nbsp;at the peak of his earning power, he pocketed $50 million per year.</p>\n<p>Belfort’s wealth enabled him to purchase luxury residences and expensive toys that he had a strange habit of destroying, such as&nbsp;a luxury yacht once belonging&nbsp;to&nbsp;iconic designer&nbsp;<b>Coco Chanel</b>&nbsp;which he sank in a storm off the Sardinian coast in 1996;&nbsp;a Mercedes&nbsp;he totaled while driving high on quaaludes; and a helicopter that he somehow crash-landed on the front lawn of one of his mansions.</p>\n<p>The damage he inflicted on his property was mirrored by the insanity&nbsp;his drug habit inflicted on his body. “It was just like coke, coke, coke all day and I was like, ‘Screw you I don't have a problem,’” he would recall, adding, “I was like Al Pacino in ‘Scarface’ with a pile of cocaine. That's what my life had descended to.”</p>\n<p><b>The Inevitable Downfall:</b>Belfort’s luck began to slowly fray by 1994 when he reached an agreement with the SEC that required a lifetime ban from the securities industry. But he circumvented the&nbsp;prohibition by continuing to conduct business through<b>Danny Porush,</b>his right-hand man&nbsp;at Stratton Oakmont.</p>\n<p>Belfort also played fast with the rules in arranging the 1993 initial public offering for childhood friend&nbsp;<b>Steve Madden’s shoe company.</b>Madden would become entangled in Belfort’s schemes, including a deal to secretly buy and sell stock in Stratton deals on behalf of Porush, who was legally limited in trading stocks in those companies, and a secret arrangement to provide Belfort with a majority stake in his company despite the NASD’s severe restrictions on Belfort’s actions.</p>\n<p>Despite evidence of finance chicanery, Belfort’s downfall began with the arrest of his drug dealer, a martial artist named<b>Todd Garrett,</b>who was caught with $200,000 in cash from Belfort and Porush&nbsp;destined to be secretly transported to Switzerland. One year later, a French private banker who worked for a Swiss bank was arrested in Miami as part of a money-laundering scheme. In exchange for a lighter prison sentence, he identified his clients and cited Belfort and Porush.</p>\n<p><b>On Sept.&nbsp;2, 1998, Belfort was arrested for conspiracy to commit money laundering and securities fraud that resulted in 1,513 investors being swindled out of more than $200 million.</b>After a week in custody, Belfort agreed to cut a deal with law enforcement agencies and agreed to wear a wire and record conversations with business associates who were under investigation.</p>\n<p>Belfort’s work as an informant brought dozens of financial professionals and lawyers into prison, but he was not spared from incarceration.&nbsp;Although sentenced to four years in prison in 2003, he only served a 22-month sentence. He was also ordered to pay a $110 million fine.</p>\n<p><b>A Stellar Encore:</b>While serving his prison sentence, Belfort shared a cell with comedian&nbsp;<b>Tommy Chong,</b>who was incarcerated on drug-related charges. Chong encouraged Belfort to write his autobiography. After his release from prison in April 2006, his memoir “The Wolf of Wall Street” was acquired by&nbsp;<b>Random House</b>&nbsp;for $500,000 and became a critically acclaimed best-seller upon its 2007 publication. A second book, “Catching the Wolf of Wall Street,” was published in 2009.</p>\n<p>The film version of “The Wolf of Wall Street” brought Belfort a new degree of pop culture recognition and helped in his post-prison career as&nbsp;<b>a motivational speaker.</b></p>\n<p>These years have not been without controversy. Prosecutors have accused him of failing to compensate the victims of his crimes and pocketing lucrative speaking fees instead of channeling them to his restitution requirements. But the federal government overplayed its hand by accusing him of fleeing to Australia to hide his wealth and avoid paying taxes — Belfort received&nbsp;a public apology for the release of that misinformation.</p>\n<p><b>Belfort filed a $300 million lawsuit against Red Granite,</b>the production company that purchased the film rights to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” after it was exposed that the deal was financed with questionable funds from Malaysia. Belfort insisted he would never have transacted with the company if he was aware of the dirty money that financed its operations.</p>\n<p>Last month, Belfort posted a photo on his Facebook page that found him happily engaged in a poker game on a yacht’s casino table while a half-dozen cuties in bathing suits holding champagne glasses posed behind him. The message that accompanied the photo said,<b>“If you want to be rich, never give up... If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people... When you do something, you might fail...

It’s not hard to do.”\nBelfort’s breezy pronouncement came as part of the publicity drumming for the release of Martin Scorsese’s film version of Belfort’s autobiography“The Wolf of Wall Street,”which starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Belfort.\nThe New York article also featured input from Greg Coleman,the FBI special agent responsible for Belfort’s arrest for fraud and stock market manipulation. From Coleman’s perspective, Belfort wasn't worthy of movie star-level worship.\n“From a moral perspective, he was a reprehensible human being,” Coleman said about Belfort. “Admiration would be the wrong word, but from the perspective of manipulating the market, he’s one of the best there is.”\nA Kick In The Teeth:A native of New York City, Belfort was born in 1962 in the Bronx and raised in the Bayside section of Queens. Both of his parents were accountants who stressed the value of education and maturity.\nBelfort received a degree in biology from American University and saw his career path in dentistry. He made money to pursue his dental studies by selling Italian ices on a beach in Queens and enrolled in the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.\nHe dropped out after the first day of studies when the dean of the school made the astonishing pronouncement: “The golden age of dentistry is over. If you're here simply because you're looking to make a lot of money, you're in the wrong place.\"\nBut what was the right career for making money?\nBelfort returned from his day in dental school and found work as a door-to-door salesman in Long Island, where he sold meat and seafood. He started to grow a business based on this endeavor, but the effort failed to click and he wound up filing for bankruptcy by the time he was 25.\n“I was pretty talented,” he would later recall about this unsuccessful venture. “But the margins were too small.”\nHowever, a family friend pointed him to a position as a stockbroker broker trainee with the Manhattan-based firmL.F. Rothschild,but he lost that position when the firm experienced financial difficulty after the 1987 stock market crash.\nHe took positions with other firms including D.H. Blair and F.D. Roberts Securities and Investors Center — the latter was apenny stockbrokerage shut down in 1989 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) one year after Belfort joined its staff.\nDiscouraged at working for others in unstable environments, Belfort decided to turn entrepreneur and create his own financial operations, and that’s when the would-be dentist started his career lycanthropy into becoming the Wolf of Wall Street.\nThe Kodak Pitch:In 1989, the 27-year-old Belfort teamed with 23-year-old Kenneth Greene,a fellow Investors Center employee who previously drove one of Belfort’s trucks during his meat selling days.\nThe pair opened their own brokerage in a spare office in a Queens car dealership and then arranged to set up a franchise of Stratton Securities,a small broker-dealer operation.\nThe duo seemed to strike gold quickly. Within five months of starting their franchise, they accumulated $250,000 and were able to buy Stratton Securities for themselves, renaming it Stratton Oakmont and establishing an operations center in Lake Success, a Long Island town which was best known as the first site of the United Nations headquarters before its Manhattan campus was constructed.\nBy 1991, Stratton Oakmont generated $30 million in commissions from a 150-person workforce. Many of his team members were twentysomethings from blue-collar backgrounds eager to make a maximum amount of money in a minimal amount of time.\nBelfort also enjoyed his first brush with fame in 1991 via a profile inForbesthat harshly displayed his virtues and vices. On the plus side, the Forbes coverage offered insight into Belfort’s instruction on teaching his eager young employees the art of cold-calling potential investors.\nUsing a technique he dubbed the“Kodak pitch,”Belfort instructed his brokers to begin their telephone spiel with a blue-chip stock such as Eastman Kodak before doing a hard-sell on obscurepenny stocks.\nBelfort also insisted that his brokers refuse to take no for an answer, offering them the mantra“Whip their necks off, don't let ‘em off the phone.”\nBelfort’s team took his lessons to heart: Forbes reported they were, on average, earning $85,000 a year.\nYet Forbes also highlighted Stratton Oakmont’s loosey-goosey approach to ethical operations, noting that the SEC began investigating the brokerage in its first year of operations over questionable sales and trading practices. Indeed, the magazine detailed several examples of pump-and-dump efforts by the Stratton Oakmont team that drove up prices on penny stock shares before selling them at their artificially inflated peak.\nForbes diplomatically declined to identify Stratton Oakmont as a “boiler room,” but it was obvious what was taking place.\nNoting these antics, along with the SEC’s receipt of customer complaints, Forbes dubbed Belfort as “a kind of twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.” Belfort defended his actions, claiming, “We contact high-net-worth investors. I couldn't live with myself if I was calling people who make $50,000 a year, and I'm taking their child's tuition money.”\nAlso cited in his media debut was Belfort’s automobile, a $175,000 Ferrari Testarossa.This lavish hedonism was the start of a trend that would shape and then disfigure Belfort’s life.\nAin’t We Got Fun?Besides the SEC, Stratton Oakmont had been under watch by the National Association of Securities Dealers, the forerunner of today’s Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, right after its founding. Yet Stratton Oakmont was not expelled from the NASD until 1996 and Belfort was not indicted for securities fraud until 1999.\nIn the years between his Forbes profile and his arrest, Belfort engaged an extravagant form of slow-motion, self-immolation fueled by drug addictions and financed by his pump-and-dump business.\n“I suffered from a disease called ‘more,’ he would lament in retrospect. “No matter how much I had, I wanted more.You don't lose your ethics all at once.It happens very slowly and, almost imperceptibly, you know you're doing things right and one day you step over the line.”\nWell, Belfort certainly went very much over that proverbial line. Financially, he was far ahead of the average American — at the peak of his earning power, he pocketed $50 million per year.\nBelfort’s wealth enabled him to purchase luxury residences and expensive toys that he had a strange habit of destroying, such as a luxury yacht once belonging to iconic designer Coco Chanel which he sank in a storm off the Sardinian coast in 1996; a Mercedes he totaled while driving high on quaaludes; and a helicopter that he somehow crash-landed on the front lawn of one of his mansions.\nThe damage he inflicted on his property was mirrored by the insanity his drug habit inflicted on his body. “It was just like coke, coke, coke all day and I was like, ‘Screw you I don't have a problem,’” he would recall, adding, “I was like Al Pacino in ‘Scarface’ with a pile of cocaine. That's what my life had descended to.”\nThe Inevitable Downfall:Belfort’s luck began to slowly fray by 1994 when he reached an agreement with the SEC that required a lifetime ban from the securities industry. But he circumvented the prohibition by continuing to conduct business throughDanny Porush,his right-hand man at Stratton Oakmont.\nBelfort also played fast with the rules in arranging the 1993 initial public offering for childhood friend Steve Madden’s shoe company.Madden would become entangled in Belfort’s schemes, including a deal to secretly buy and sell stock in Stratton deals on behalf of Porush, who was legally limited in trading stocks in those companies, and a secret arrangement to provide Belfort with a majority stake in his company despite the NASD’s severe restrictions on Belfort’s actions.\nDespite evidence of finance chicanery, Belfort’s downfall began with the arrest of his drug dealer, a martial artist namedTodd Garrett,who was caught with $200,000 in cash from Belfort and Porush destined to be secretly transported to Switzerland. One year later, a French private banker who worked for a Swiss bank was arrested in Miami as part of a money-laundering scheme. In exchange for a lighter prison sentence, he identified his clients and cited Belfort and Porush.\nOn Sept. 2, 1998, Belfort was arrested for conspiracy to commit money laundering and securities fraud that resulted in 1,513 investors being swindled out of more than $200 million.After a week in custody, Belfort agreed to cut a deal with law enforcement agencies and agreed to wear a wire and record conversations with business associates who were under investigation.\nBelfort’s work as an informant brought dozens of financial professionals and lawyers into prison, but he was not spared from incarceration. Although sentenced to four years in prison in 2003, he only served a 22-month sentence. He was also ordered to pay a $110 million fine.\nA Stellar Encore:While serving his prison sentence, Belfort shared a cell with comedian Tommy Chong,who was incarcerated on drug-related charges. Chong encouraged Belfort to write his autobiography. After his release from prison in April 2006, his memoir “The Wolf of Wall Street” was acquired by Random House for $500,000 and became a critically acclaimed best-seller upon its 2007 publication. A second book, “Catching the Wolf of Wall Street,” was published in 2009.\nThe film version of “The Wolf of Wall Street” brought Belfort a new degree of pop culture recognition and helped in his post-prison career as a motivational speaker.\nThese years have not been without controversy. Prosecutors have accused him of failing to compensate the victims of his crimes and pocketing lucrative speaking fees instead of channeling them to his restitution requirements. But the federal government overplayed its hand by accusing him of fleeing to Australia to hide his wealth and avoid paying taxes — Belfort received a public apology for the release of that misinformation.\nBelfort filed a $300 million lawsuit against Red Granite,the production company that purchased the film rights to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” after it was exposed that the deal was financed with questionable funds from Malaysia. Belfort insisted he would never have transacted with the company if he was aware of the dirty money that financed its operations.\nLast month, Belfort posted a photo on his Facebook page that found him happily engaged in a poker game on a yacht’s casino table while a half-dozen cuties in bathing suits holding champagne glasses posed behind him. The message that accompanied the photo said,“If you want to be rich, never give up... If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people... When you do something, you might fail... Do it differently each time... and one day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend.”\nFor ex-FBI agent Greg Coleman, Belfort’s phoenix-like rise from the ashes of his own making represented the worst possible conclusion. Coleman considered Belfort’s ability to profit from his swindling and sourly told New York magazine ahead of “The Wolf of Wall Street” film premiere,\"Crime pays.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":135,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174485123,"gmtCreate":1627126710662,"gmtModify":1703484595165,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/174485123","repostId":"1151500518","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151500518","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627092269,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1151500518?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 10:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tencent was ordered to remove the exclusive copyright of online music","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151500518","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to ","content":"<p>The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to law, ordering Tencent and its affiliated companies to take measures to restore the state of market competition, such as canceling the exclusive music copyright within 30 days, stopping the payment of copyright fees such as high prepayment, and not requiring the upstream copyright party to give conditions superior to its competitors without justified reasons.

After skyrocketing during the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns about larger-than-expected losses tied to its Livongo Health acquisition, as well as worries about slowing growth in an eventual post-pandemic world, pushed shares more than 70% below their all-time high.</p><p>However, investors with time on their side can buy Teladoc Health now and take pride in owning a leading innovator in personalized care.</p><p>The easiest way to tell that that telemedicine is here to stay is to look at Teladoc&#39;s sales growth prior to the pandemic. In the seven years leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, the company averaged annual sales growth of 74%. That&#39;s not a year or two of simply being in the right place at the right time. Sales growth this consistent signals a sustained shift in how treatment is being administered in the U.S.</p><p>The great thing about telemedicine is that it provides benefits up and down the treatment chain. It&#39;s almost always more convenient for patients, and it can allow physicians easier access to chronically ill patients. This ease of access should result in improved patient outcomes and lower costs for health insurance companies. The latter is particularly important, as it could increase the likelihood that insurers will push for increased telehealth adoption in the years that lie ahead.</p><p>What&#39;s more, the higher costs associated with Teladoc&#39;s buyout of leading applied health signals company Livongo Health won&#39;t carry over into its 2022 financial results. This means investors can focus on what&#39;s important -- i.e., Livongo&#39;s efforts to enroll more chronic-care members in its service.</p><p>Teladoc has the solutions and innovation to be one of the fastest-growing healthcare stocks this decade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fbusiness-meeting-tablets-laptops-graphs-charts-advertising-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>PubMatic</h2><p>A small-cap growth stock with large-cap aspirations that could realistically 10x investors&#39; money by the turn of the decade is <b>PubMatic</b> (NASDAQ:PUBM).</p><p>PubMatic operates as a cloud-based, sell-side programmatic ad platform. In simple terms, this means PubMatic&#39;s solutions handle the optimization of ad placement for its clients, the publishers selling their display space. While publishers do offer some level of input, such as the minimum price they&#39;d be willing to accept for their display space, it&#39;s PubMatic&#39;s programmatic ad platform that handles everything else.</p><p>What makes PubMatic such a no-brainer buy over the long term is the undeniable shift of advertising dollars to digital platforms. According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.</p><p>However, PubMatic&#39;s growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.</p><p>With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fa-key-unlocking-blockchain-digital-id-security-hacker-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Ping Identity Holdings</h2><p>Another fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company <b>Ping Identity</b> (NYSE:PING).</p><p>Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don&#39;t take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.</p><p>As its name implies, Ping&#39;s cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It&#39;s particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).</p><p>What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company&#39;s temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping&#39;s short-term revenue growth, it didn&#39;t slow the company&#39;s annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping&#39;s revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping&#39;s overall health.</p><p>Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That&#39;s a recipe for success.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fwoman-testing-server-data-center-network-wireless-iot-business-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Fastly</h2><p>A fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock <b>Fastly</b> (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).</p><p>Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly&#39;s wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.</p><p>Although an outage isn&#39;t good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn&#39;t cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.</p><p>Fastly&#39;s allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds.

It took less than 17 months for the broad-based S&P 500 to double from its bear market low. Furthermore, the widely followed index came close to tripling its long-term average annual return in 2021.Despite this incredible outperformance, amazing deals remain. Patient investors who buy into innovative companies with clear-cut competitive advantages have a real chance to see their initial investment compound many times over.If you have cash ready to invest and are willing to let time be your ally, the following four stocks all have the tools to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030.Image source: Getty Images.Teladoc HealthThere's no sugarcoating it: telehealth giant Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) was one of 2021's biggest disappointments. After skyrocketing during the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns about larger-than-expected losses tied to its Livongo Health acquisition, as well as worries about slowing growth in an eventual post-pandemic world, pushed shares more than 70% below their all-time high.However, investors with time on their side can buy Teladoc Health now and take pride in owning a leading innovator in personalized care.The easiest way to tell that that telemedicine is here to stay is to look at Teladoc's sales growth prior to the pandemic. In the seven years leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, the company averaged annual sales growth of 74%. That's not a year or two of simply being in the right place at the right time. Sales growth this consistent signals a sustained shift in how treatment is being administered in the U.S.The great thing about telemedicine is that it provides benefits up and down the treatment chain. It's almost always more convenient for patients, and it can allow physicians easier access to chronically ill patients. This ease of access should result in improved patient outcomes and lower costs for health insurance companies. The latter is particularly important, as it could increase the likelihood that insurers will push for increased telehealth adoption in the years that lie ahead.What's more, the higher costs associated with Teladoc's buyout of leading applied health signals company Livongo Health won't carry over into its 2022 financial results. This means investors can focus on what's important -- i.e., Livongo's efforts to enroll more chronic-care members in its service.Teladoc has the solutions and innovation to be one of the fastest-growing healthcare stocks this decade.Image source: Getty Images.PubMaticA small-cap growth stock with large-cap aspirations that could realistically 10x investors' money by the turn of the decade is PubMatic (NASDAQ:PUBM).PubMatic operates as a cloud-based, sell-side programmatic ad platform. In simple terms, this means PubMatic's solutions handle the optimization of ad placement for its clients, the publishers selling their display space. While publishers do offer some level of input, such as the minimum price they'd be willing to accept for their display space, it's PubMatic's programmatic ad platform that handles everything else.What makes PubMatic such a no-brainer buy over the long term is the undeniable shift of advertising dollars to digital platforms. According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.However, PubMatic's growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.Image source: Getty Images.Ping Identity HoldingsAnother fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company Ping Identity (NYSE:PING).Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don't take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.As its name implies, Ping's cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It's particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company's temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping's short-term revenue growth, it didn't slow the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping's revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping's overall health.Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That's a recipe for success.Image source: Getty Images.FastlyA fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock Fastly (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly's wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.Although an outage isn't good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn't cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.Fastly's allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds. Fastly's network should be leaned on heavily as the metaverse takes shape in the years to come.With an adjusted gross margin that's consistently come in between 57% and 62%, Fastly is a good bet to net patient investors a whopper of a return over the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":327,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897301061,"gmtCreate":1628872809353,"gmtModify":1676529883200,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?&nbsp;","listText":"?&nbsp;","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/897301061","repostId":"2159657218","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2159657218","pubTimestamp":1628867040,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2159657218?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-13 23:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook Is Really, Really Good at Advertising","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2159657218","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Discussing the latest earnings news from Facebook, iRobot, and PayPal.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b>'s (NASDAQ:FB) second-quarter revenue growth was driven by its ability to charge more for ads. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b>'s (NASDAQ:PYPL) second-quarter payment volume grew 40%, but shares sold off due to concerns related to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EBAY\">eBay</a></b>.

A full transcript follows the video.</p>\n<p><i>This video was recorded on July 29, 2021.</i></p>\n<p><b>Chris Hill:</b> It's Thursday, July 29th. Welcome to <i>MarketFoolery</i>. I'm Chris Hill. With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.</p>\n<p><b>John Rotonti:</b> Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> We got more earnings. It's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with <b>Starbucks</b>. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also <b>Square</b>. Square is building a super app, so is <b>SoFi</b>. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> </b>and <b>MasterCard</b>. You can have a basket that includes PayPal, Square, SoFi, any of these players. I'm not worried about PayPal though, it's one of the largest digital platform companies in the world. It's riding these long-term trends toward the digitization of cash, and basically, electronic e-commerce and mobile commerce. It's got huge brands in Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, and Paydiant, all of which help make financial transactions easier and more secure for both merchants and consumers. I mentioned both because this is a two-sided network; it's got over 400 million combined users when you count merchants and users on the platform, and that network effect combined with a trusted brand drives really attractive growth. I see this as a high-teens grower. In some quarters, maybe they reach 20%-plus growth for a fairly long period of time. Intermediate-term, five to seven years, I think this is a high-teens grower and it's growing very profitably, Chris.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> An important point there adding that they're not just growing, they're growing profitably. Last thing and then we will move on, is it safe to assume that three months from now, and I realize this might be annoying for some of the dozens of listeners, but every now and then, and this is one of those situations where when I really digest a company's earnings report, my main side is I can't wait to get to the next one, I can't wait for three months from now because I hear everything you're saying and I think to myself, \"OK, so in three months, I'm assuming we're going to know more about the take rate and is that a speed bump or is that something that they are able to have bounced back?\" We're going to know more about the eBay drag that you mentioned, like how long and how impactful is it?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year. Even if the take rate trends down slowly over time, it's not the end of the world, they can make that up with volume. Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter. It is quickly becoming, and by it, I mean the PayPal app, the super app, it's quickly becoming a utility in our daily lives. I'm not terribly worried, but yes, next quarter we'll know a little more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> iRobot's second-quarter revenue grew 31%, demand is up for the Roomba and other cleaning robots. But there is a semiconductor chip shortage that you may have heard something about, and not surprisingly, that is having an impact on iRobot's business.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's so funny going through this, not funny, but just enlightening going through this earning season and discovering all of the companies that are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. I cover semiconductors shifts at The Motley Fool. It is really eye-opening how important these tiny chips are to our daily lives. Thirty percent growth is phenomenal. Some of that is pandemic-driven because during the pandemic the economy shut down, we were all forced to, or many of us were forced to work from home, learn from home, exercise from home, game from home, and so we're spending more time at home so people were buying robotic vacuums. That 30% growth makes sense.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> You and I were chatting before we started recording about the five-year chart on iRobot. This is a stock, you go back to the summer of 2016, the stock has a little bit more than doubled since that. You get a double over a five-year period, that's great. Historically, that's a market-beating return. But the roller coaster that investors have been on over the past five years is terrifying. Depending on when you bought shares of iRobot, you're either thrilled or horribly disappointed.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> iRobot is one of the companies that -- such a great point, Chris -- it's one of the companies that faces really steep competition. Even though it's this great innovative product that many of us probably use and love better than pushing the vacuum ourselves, especially the heavy type of vacuums on carpet and stuff, it is facing competition from the likes of Dyson, which is another brilliant engineering company, from the likes of Shark, the Shark IQ, and there's others out there as well. Over the last five years, the chart that you're looking at, I believe iRobot has tried to increase prices at least once, maybe twice, and those prices didn't stick, it had to actually roll them back, and so we were talking about the pricing power we are seeing at Facebook. This is the opposite. They have tried to increase the price at least once that I remember reading about and maybe more than once and they didn't stick. What you see is that the gross margin line at iRobot, which is a rough indicator of pricing power, has fallen from 49% to 50% in 2016 and 2017 to 45%, 46%, and then most recently down to 42%. The volatility that you see in the gross margin line, I think, is leading to the volatility that you see in the stock price. It's going to be interesting to see if they can get the last 12 months gross margin of 42%, if they can get that back up into the mid-40% range.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Thank you for that reminder because I had forgotten about that incident where they tried to raise prices and it backfired on them. Among other things, it's a reminder that, in general, when it comes to consumer technology, I feel like we can put iRobot and the Roomba in the consumer technology space. In general, prices come down over time. A very good flat-screen TV costs you a lot less now than it did five and 10 years ago. <b>Apple</b> really is the outlier in its ability to continue to keep the iPhone at a high price point. You go back 10, 12 years, the first few years of the iPhone, the people who were bearish on Apple, part of their bearish argument was, \"Well, look at the history of consumer technology prices, they can't possibly keep this up. They're going to have to lower the price of the iPhone over time.\" In fact, they did the exact opposite.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's exactly right, and in order to maintain that pricing power, those average selling prices, you have to continually innovate and add new functionality and new features which Apple has been able to do largely with the iPhone. The thing we should mention about iRobot because you said depending on when you got on that roller coaster you either really enjoyed it or you felt sick to your stomach. One future investors, they like about this, is the stock is not terribly expensive right now, it's trading eighty-something dollars per share, its 52-week high was almost $200 per share, and on a price-to-free-cash-flow basis, it's trading at like a multiple of 15, which is low, Chris, that is low and the reason it's low is because it is such a volatile business, I think. The predictability of the business is not predictable, and so people aren't going to pay high multiples for it. But if you invert that price-to-free-cash-flow multiple, you get a free cash flow yield, and that's a yield of 7%. The higher the yield, the better, a 7% yield that compares to the 10-year Treasury note at 1.3%. A 7% yield also means that free cash flow doesn't have to grow a whole lot to generate mid-teens annualized return, free cash flow only has to grow 6%, 7%. You add the yield plus the growth, 7% yield, let's say 6% or 7% growth, and you get to mid-teens expected return. Now, it's not a guaranteed return, but it's a rough heuristic to calculate that. Maybe it's a decent time to buy this one. I don't know the company well enough to say any more than that, but it doesn't look terribly expensive here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> John Rotonti, great talking to you.

A full transcript follows the video.\nThis video was recorded on July 29, 2021.\nChris Hill: It's Thursday, July 29th. Welcome to MarketFoolery. I'm Chris Hill. With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.\nJohn Rotonti: Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.\nHill: We got more earnings. It's one of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.\nRotonti: That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.\nHill: I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.\nRotonti: I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.\nHill: How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?\nRotonti: No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.\nHill: I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"\nRotonti: Totally. Two things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.\nHill: Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with Starbucks. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.\nRotonti: Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also Square. Square is building a super app, so is SoFi. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.\nHill: It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"\nRotonti: Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as Visa and MasterCard. You can have a basket that includes PayPal, Square, SoFi, any of these players. I'm not worried about PayPal though, it's one of the largest digital platform companies in the world. It's riding these long-term trends toward the digitization of cash, and basically, electronic e-commerce and mobile commerce. It's got huge brands in Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, and Paydiant, all of which help make financial transactions easier and more secure for both merchants and consumers. I mentioned both because this is a two-sided network; it's got over 400 million combined users when you count merchants and users on the platform, and that network effect combined with a trusted brand drives really attractive growth. I see this as a high-teens grower. In some quarters, maybe they reach 20%-plus growth for a fairly long period of time. Intermediate-term, five to seven years, I think this is a high-teens grower and it's growing very profitably, Chris.\nHill: An important point there adding that they're not just growing, they're growing profitably. Last thing and then we will move on, is it safe to assume that three months from now, and I realize this might be annoying for some of the dozens of listeners, but every now and then, and this is one of those situations where when I really digest a company's earnings report, my main side is I can't wait to get to the next one, I can't wait for three months from now because I hear everything you're saying and I think to myself, \"OK, so in three months, I'm assuming we're going to know more about the take rate and is that a speed bump or is that something that they are able to have bounced back?\" We're going to know more about the eBay drag that you mentioned, like how long and how impactful is it?\nRotonti: Yeah. I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year. Even if the take rate trends down slowly over time, it's not the end of the world, they can make that up with volume. Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter. It is quickly becoming, and by it, I mean the PayPal app, the super app, it's quickly becoming a utility in our daily lives. I'm not terribly worried, but yes, next quarter we'll know a little more.\nHill: iRobot's second-quarter revenue grew 31%, demand is up for the Roomba and other cleaning robots. But there is a semiconductor chip shortage that you may have heard something about, and not surprisingly, that is having an impact on iRobot's business.\nRotonti: It's so funny going through this, not funny, but just enlightening going through this earning season and discovering all of the companies that are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. I cover semiconductors shifts at The Motley Fool. It is really eye-opening how important these tiny chips are to our daily lives. Thirty percent growth is phenomenal. Some of that is pandemic-driven because during the pandemic the economy shut down, we were all forced to, or many of us were forced to work from home, learn from home, exercise from home, game from home, and so we're spending more time at home so people were buying robotic vacuums. That 30% growth makes sense.\nHill: You and I were chatting before we started recording about the five-year chart on iRobot. This is a stock, you go back to the summer of 2016, the stock has a little bit more than doubled since that. You get a double over a five-year period, that's great. Historically, that's a market-beating return. But the roller coaster that investors have been on over the past five years is terrifying. Depending on when you bought shares of iRobot, you're either thrilled or horribly disappointed.\nRotonti: iRobot is one of the companies that -- such a great point, Chris -- it's one of the companies that faces really steep competition. Even though it's this great innovative product that many of us probably use and love better than pushing the vacuum ourselves, especially the heavy type of vacuums on carpet and stuff, it is facing competition from the likes of Dyson, which is another brilliant engineering company, from the likes of Shark, the Shark IQ, and there's others out there as well. Over the last five years, the chart that you're looking at, I believe iRobot has tried to increase prices at least once, maybe twice, and those prices didn't stick, it had to actually roll them back, and so we were talking about the pricing power we are seeing at Facebook. This is the opposite. They have tried to increase the price at least once that I remember reading about and maybe more than once and they didn't stick. What you see is that the gross margin line at iRobot, which is a rough indicator of pricing power, has fallen from 49% to 50% in 2016 and 2017 to 45%, 46%, and then most recently down to 42%. The volatility that you see in the gross margin line, I think, is leading to the volatility that you see in the stock price. It's going to be interesting to see if they can get the last 12 months gross margin of 42%, if they can get that back up into the mid-40% range.\nHill: Thank you for that reminder because I had forgotten about that incident where they tried to raise prices and it backfired on them. Among other things, it's a reminder that, in general, when it comes to consumer technology, I feel like we can put iRobot and the Roomba in the consumer technology space. In general, prices come down over time. A very good flat-screen TV costs you a lot less now than it did five and 10 years ago. Apple really is the outlier in its ability to continue to keep the iPhone at a high price point. You go back 10, 12 years, the first few years of the iPhone, the people who were bearish on Apple, part of their bearish argument was, \"Well, look at the history of consumer technology prices, they can't possibly keep this up. They're going to have to lower the price of the iPhone over time.\" In fact, they did the exact opposite.\nRotonti: It's exactly right, and in order to maintain that pricing power, those average selling prices, you have to continually innovate and add new functionality and new features which Apple has been able to do largely with the iPhone. The thing we should mention about iRobot because you said depending on when you got on that roller coaster you either really enjoyed it or you felt sick to your stomach. One future investors, they like about this, is the stock is not terribly expensive right now, it's trading eighty-something dollars per share, its 52-week high was almost $200 per share, and on a price-to-free-cash-flow basis, it's trading at like a multiple of 15, which is low, Chris, that is low and the reason it's low is because it is such a volatile business, I think. The predictability of the business is not predictable, and so people aren't going to pay high multiples for it. But if you invert that price-to-free-cash-flow multiple, you get a free cash flow yield, and that's a yield of 7%. The higher the yield, the better, a 7% yield that compares to the 10-year Treasury note at 1.3%. A 7% yield also means that free cash flow doesn't have to grow a whole lot to generate mid-teens annualized return, free cash flow only has to grow 6%, 7%. You add the yield plus the growth, 7% yield, let's say 6% or 7% growth, and you get to mid-teens expected return. Now, it's not a guaranteed return, but it's a rough heuristic to calculate that. Maybe it's a decent time to buy this one. I don't know the company well enough to say any more than that, but it doesn't look terribly expensive here.\nHill: John Rotonti, great talking to you.

Tokens are swapped between the blockchains using a smart contract which contains instructions on when to release the assets to the counterparties.</p>\n<p>One of the smart contracts that Poly Network uses to transfer tokens between blockchains maintains large amounts of liquidity to allow users to efficiently swap tokens, according to crypto intelligence firm CipherTrace.</p>\n<p>Poly Network tweeted on Tuesday that a preliminary investigation found the hackers exploited a vulnerability in this smart contract.</p>\n<p>According to an analysis of the transactions tweeted by Kelvin Fichter, an Ethereum programmer, the hackers appeared to override the contract instructions for each of the three blockchains and diverted the funds to three wallet addresses, digital locations for storing tokens. These were later traced and published by Poly Network.</p>\n<p>The attackers stole funds in more than 12 different cryptocurrencies, including ether and a type of bitcoin, according to blockchain forensics company Chainalysis.</p>\n<p>A person claiming to have perpetrated the hack said they had spotted a \"bug,\" without specifying, and that they wanted to \"expose the vulnerability\" before others could exploit it, according to digital messages posted on the Ethereum network published by Chainalysis. Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the messages.</p>\n<p>WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?</p>\n<p>Coindesk reported on Tuesday that the hackers had initially tried to transfer some of the assets from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the three wallets into liquidity pool Curve.fi, but that transfer was rejected. About $100 million was moved out of another of the wallets and deposited into liquidity pool Ellipsis Finance, Coindesk also reported.</p>\n<p>Curve.fi. and Ellipsis Finance could not immediately be reached for comment.</p>\n<p>But early Wednesday the hackers started transferring assets back to Poly Network and by Thursday morning had returned $342 million worth of tokens, with $268 million stolen from the Ethereum chain outstanding, Poly Network said. Around 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) on Thursday, Poly Network said it was still communicating with the hackers, who were gradually transferring back the remaining assets.</p>\n<p>WHO IS THE HACKER?</p>\n<p>The hacker or hackers have not yet been identified.</p>\n<p>Cryptocurrency security firm SlowMist said on its website that it has identified the attacker's mailbox, internet protocol address, and device fingerprints, but the company has not yet named any individuals.
