The yield differential between 10-year German and Italian debt narrowed to its tightest since April. Norway’s krone advanced after Norges Bank raised its policy rate in line with expectations and signaled a faster pace of tightening over the coming years. The franc whipsawed as the Swiss National Bank kept its policy rate and deposit rate at record lows, as expected, and reiterated its pledge to wage currency market interventions. The yen fell as a unit of China Evergrande said it had reached an agreement with bond holders over an interest payment, reducing demand for haven assets. Turkey’s lira slumped toa record low against the dollar after the central bank unexpectedly cut interest rates.\nIn commodities, crude futures drifted lower after a rangebound Asia session. WTI was 0.25% lower, trading near $72; Brent dips into the red, so far holding above $76. Spot gold adds $3.5, gentle reversing Asia’s losses to trade near $1,771/oz. Base metals are well bid with LME aluminum leading gains. Bitcoin steadied just below $44,000.\nLooking at the day ahead, we get the weekly initial jobless claims, the Chicago Fed’s national activity index for August, and the Kansas City fed’s manufacturing activity index for September. From central banks, there’ll be a monetary policy decision from the Bank of England, while the ECB will be publishing their Economic Bulletin and the ECB’s Elderson will also speak. From emerging markets, there’ll also be monetary policy decisions from the Central Bank of Turkey and the South African Reserve Bank. Finally in Germany, there’s an election debate with the lead candidates from the Bundestag parties.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":338,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863797367,"gmtCreate":1632434232459,"gmtModify":1676530779622,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"okok","listText":"okok","text":"okok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863797367","repostId":"1185114998","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185114998","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":1632403944,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1185114998?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-23 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks open higher, building on post-Fed gains","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185114998","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 23) Stocks open higher, building on post-Fed gains. Dow rises for a second day, adding 200 poi","content":"<p>(Sept 23)&nbsp;Stocks open higher, building on post-Fed gains.&nbsp;Dow rises for a second day, adding 200 points as market continues to reclaim September losses.</p>\n<p>The company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, with an adjusted gross margin of 65%. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BB\">BlackBerry</a> reported a loss of 6 cents per share, compared with the expected loss of 7 cents per share, according to Refinitiv.

It can help to complete complex tasks that weren't previously possible with human input, and fintech company <b>Upstart Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:UPST) is applying it to the lending process.</p>\n<p>Where most banks assess a borrower's income and assets to determine creditworthiness, Upstart's AI platform reviews thousands of data points, including where the borrower went to school, their level of education, and their job history.</p>\n<p>The company originates loans for banks in exchange for a fee, and it also licenses its platform to banks so they can integrate it into their existing application processes. The alternative metrics measured by Upstart's AI result in 173% more money loaned out for the same level of risk, and that's an attractive proposition for financiers.</p>\n<p>Second-quarter loan originations just grew 1,605% to $2.79 billion, prompting Upstart to materially increase its 2021 revenue guidance from $600 million to $750 million.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>2021 (Estimate)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>$57 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$750 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>90%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Company filings.</p>\n<p>The company would have to grow revenues at a compound rate of 19% per year until 2030 for its stock price to rise fivefold, assuming its current price-to-sales ratio remained exactly the same. But as evidenced by the table above, it has plenty of room for multiple contraction with a much-faster 90% compound annual growth rate ovr the past four years.</p>\n<p>There's even significant upside potential to Upstart's financial performance. It just entered the automotive lending market, which is worth over $1.1 trillion, so considering that the company only originated $2.79 billion worth of loans in the most recent quarter, there is an enormous growth opportunity ahead.</p>\n<p>To speed up its expansion in this new market, it acquired software company Prodigy. It develops sales tools for car dealerships, and Upstart is integrating with that platform for the opportunity to finance some of its $1 billion in quarterly vehicle sales.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/efdefd2cdb602218af22ebadfabe82ff\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>The case for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h3>\n<p>Trillion-dollar social media giant <b>Facebook </b>(NASDAQ:FB) is embarking on a new mission to own the next generation of social technology. CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to build a digital world dubbed the metaverse, with user-controlled avatars, virtual experiences, and even its own economy.</p>\n<p>But back to present reality: Even in its current form, Facebook is growing enough to turn $200,000 into $1 million by 2030. The company has bucked the trend of past technology behemoths, in that it has remained nimble enough to drive innovation and stave off the irrelevance that befell them -- few people under the age of 30 remember MySpace, after all.</p>\n<p>It has achieved this through landmark acquisitions of platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp, and also by consistently freshening up its flagship social network, Facebook. Over 2.9 billion people engage with the company's ecosystem each month, and that's not easy for any new player to disrupt.</p>\n<p>It's in the driver's seat to introduce new initiatives like the metaverse, which might <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> day have the potential to truly dwarf the company's present financial performance.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2011</p></th>\n   <th><p>2021 (Estimate)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3.7 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>$119.4 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>41%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Earnings per share</p></td>\n   <td><p>$0.46</p></td>\n   <td><p>$14.14</p></td>\n   <td><p>40%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Company filings. 2021 estimates from Yahoo! Finance.</p>\n<p>Facebook's stock has delivered returns exceeding 800% since its debut as a publicly traded company in 2012, and there's a legitimate argument that it's still cheap right now. At 25 times projected 2021 earnings, it trades at a steep discount to the <b>Nasdaq 100</b> index, which Facebook is a part of, at 36 times.</p>\n<p>With a decade-long track record of growing revenue and earnings by over 40% compounded annually, Facebook remains a safe bet to pull off fivefold growth over the next 10 years. Even if its earnings growth were cut in half, and its price-to-earnings ratio of 25 remained the same, it would still get there.</p>\n<p>But additional upside for Facebook could come from new projects like the metaverse, and investors are in great hands with this company when it comes to innovation.</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>2 Unstoppable Stocks That Could Turn $200,000 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\">\n2 Unstoppable Stocks That Could Turn $200,000 Into $1 Million by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-23 22:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/23/2-stocks-turn-200000-to-1-million-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In the face of powerful stock market strength, it's important to focus on the long term for the best results.\n\nKey Points\n\nUpstart is leveraging artificial intelligence to change the way banks assess ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/23/2-stocks-turn-200000-to-1-million-by-2030/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"UPST":"Upstart Holdings, Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/23/2-stocks-turn-200000-to-1-million-by-2030/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2169664162","content_text":"In the face of powerful stock market strength, it's important to focus on the long term for the best results.\n\nKey Points\n\nUpstart is leveraging artificial intelligence to change the way banks assess borrowers, and its growth rate is staggering.\nFacebook is developing the next generation of social technology, and it could open up brand-new growth opportunities.\n\nFor investors who are sitting on cash, watching the S&P 500 index move higher this year with only minor corrections has been a frustrating experience.

But as evidenced by the table above, it has plenty of room for multiple contraction with a much-faster 90% compound annual growth rate ovr the past four years.\nThere's even significant upside potential to Upstart's financial performance. It just entered the automotive lending market, which is worth over $1.1 trillion, so considering that the company only originated $2.79 billion worth of loans in the most recent quarter, there is an enormous growth opportunity ahead.\nTo speed up its expansion in this new market, it acquired software company Prodigy. It develops sales tools for car dealerships, and Upstart is integrating with that platform for the opportunity to finance some of its $1 billion in quarterly vehicle sales.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for Facebook\nTrillion-dollar social media giant Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is embarking on a new mission to own the next generation of social technology. CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to build a digital world dubbed the metaverse, with user-controlled avatars, virtual experiences, and even its own economy.\nBut back to present reality: Even in its current form, Facebook is growing enough to turn $200,000 into $1 million by 2030. The company has bucked the trend of past technology behemoths, in that it has remained nimble enough to drive innovation and stave off the irrelevance that befell them -- few people under the age of 30 remember MySpace, after all.\nIt has achieved this through landmark acquisitions of platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp, and also by consistently freshening up its flagship social network, Facebook. Over 2.9 billion people engage with the company's ecosystem each month, and that's not easy for any new player to disrupt.\nIt's in the driver's seat to introduce new initiatives like the metaverse, which might one day have the potential to truly dwarf the company's present financial performance.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2011\n2021 (Estimate)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$3.7 billion\n$119.4 billion\n41%\n\n\nEarnings per share\n$0.46\n$14.14\n40%\n\n\n\nData source: Company filings. 2021 estimates from Yahoo! Finance.\nFacebook's stock has delivered returns exceeding 800% since its debut as a publicly traded company in 2012, and there's a legitimate argument that it's still cheap right now. At 25 times projected 2021 earnings, it trades at a steep discount to the Nasdaq 100 index, which Facebook is a part of, at 36 times.\nWith a decade-long track record of growing revenue and earnings by over 40% compounded annually, Facebook remains a safe bet to pull off fivefold growth over the next 10 years. Even if its earnings growth were cut in half, and its price-to-earnings ratio of 25 remained the same, it would still get there.\nBut additional upside for Facebook could come from new projects like the metaverse, and investors are in great hands with this company when it comes to innovation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863794530,"gmtCreate":1632434180020,"gmtModify":1676530779614,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"noted","listText":"noted","text":"noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863794530","repostId":"2169667599","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169667599","pubTimestamp":1632406200,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169667599?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-23 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Unstoppable Investments That Can Send Your Portfolio to the Moon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169667599","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Ready to boost your savings?

Growth stocks</h2>\n<p>Growth stocks are investments that have the potential for above-average growth. Many tech stocks fall into this category, including companies like <b>Amazon</b>, <b>Shopify</b>,&nbsp;and <b>Square</b>.</p>\n<p>Although growth stocks can be higher risk than their more established counterparts, there's also more room for reward. These stocks are often from innovative companies that are disrupting their industries, which could make them lucrative investments. However, these organizations can also be more volatile than slower-growing businesses.</p>\n<p>If you choose to invest in growth stocks, be sure to look beyond the stock's earnings and focus more on the big picture. Stocks that have experienced explosive growth aren't always good long-term investments, so look at factors like the company's financials and its leadership team to gauge whether this stock will continue growing over time.</p>\n<h2>2. Dividend stocks</h2>\n<p>Dividend stocks are unique in that they can provide a source of passive income in addition to the returns you earn on your investment.</p>\n<p>Some companies will reward shareholders by paying back a portion of their profits each quarter or year, called a dividend. While each dividend payment is small, over time, they can add up substantially and create a source of passive income.</p>\n<p>You may also have the option to reinvest your dividends to buy more shares of that particular company's stock. By consistently reinvesting your dividends, you can increase the number of shares you own without actually paying anything out of pocket. And the more shares you own, the more you'll collect in dividend payments.</p>\n<h2>3. S&amp;P 500 ETFs</h2>\n<p>If you prefer an investment that requires little to no upkeep, <b>S&amp;P 500</b> ETFs are a fantastic option. These funds track the S&amp;P 500 index, which means they include the same stocks as the index itself and aim to mirror its long-term performance.</p>\n<p>With an S&amp;P 500 ETF, you don't need to choose stocks or research individual companies. All you need to do is invest regularly and hold your investments for as long as possible, and your portfolio will gradually grow over time.</p>\n<p>The downside to this type of investment is that it's impossible to beat the market. By definition, S&amp;P 500 ETFs earn average returns. They follow the market, so they can't outperform the market. However, for many investors, average returns are a worthwhile trade-off when you consider that these funds require very little effort to achieve consistent growth over the long run.</p>\n<h2>4. Fractional shares</h2>\n<p>Fractional shares are perfect for the investor who wants to buy individual stocks without breaking the bank.</p>\n<p>When you buy fractional shares, you're investing in a portion of a single full share of stock. Some stocks cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for a full share, but with fractional shares, you can spend as little as $1 for a small slice of the same stock.</p>\n<p>It's still important to do your research when buying fractional shares. It can be tempting to buy risky stocks when it'll only cost you a dollar to invest, but the same general investing principles still apply, regardless of how much you're spending. If you're not willing to hold a stock for at least a few years, it's probably not a stock you should be buying right now.</p>\n<p>Investing in the stock market is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the best ways to increase your net worth and generate wealth over time. With these four types of investments, you'll be well on your way to building an unstoppable portfolio.</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>4 Unstoppable Investments That Can Send Your Portfolio to the Moon</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 Unstoppable Investments That Can Send Your Portfolio to the Moon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-23 22:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/23/4-unstoppable-investments-that-can-supercharge-you/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Ready to boost your savings?

We currently intend to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund our growth, acquire complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures.\n\n\n Source: SEC\n\nManagement's presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nRegarding outstanding legal proceedings, management did not disclose any legal claims against the firm as of the regulatory filing date.\nListed underwriters of the IPO are JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, and other investment banks.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of the firm's relevant capitalization and valuation metrics at IPO, excluding the effects of underwriter options:\n\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$3,862,956,720\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$3,656,695,720\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n21.09\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n19.96\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n377.37\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$0.00\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n9.04%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$24.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n$25,236,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n0.65%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n58.59%\n\n\n\n\nSource: SEC\nAs a reference, a potential public comparable would be NICE Ltd.; shown below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\n\n\n\nMetric\nNice Ltd.\nEngageSmart\nVariance\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n11.01\n21.09\n91.5%\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n10.67\n19.96\n87.1%\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n41.73\n377.37\n804.3%\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$3.05\n$0.00\n-100.0%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n5.3%\n58.59%\n1003.34%\n\n\n\n\n(S-1/A andSeeking Alpha)\nCommentary\nESMT is seeking public investment to pay down debt and for its general unspecified corporate growth plans.\nThe firm's financials show strong topline revenue growth and gross profit growth, operating profit and a swing to slight net profit along with growing cash flow from operations.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was a solid $25.2 million.\nSelling and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have dropped as revenue has increased and its Selling and Marketing efficiency rate dropped to 1.1x in the most recent six-month reporting period.\nThe company's Rule of 40 performance was excellent and its dollar-based net revenue retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, was 124%, a strong result.\nThe market opportunity for providing customer engagement software to businesses is large and expected to double in size by the end of 2026, so the company will be helped by strong industry growth dynamics.\nJPMorgan is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 20.4% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the company's outlook is the ability for larger firms to bundle some of their services into their existing offerings, resulting in downward pricing pressure and greater competition.\nAs for valuation, compared to partial competitor NICE, ESMT is growing revenue much faster and so its much higher revenue multiples would appear to be justified.\nAlso, the company is growing much faster than competitor Pegasystems, so seems to be taking market share from these and other companies in the customer engagement market.\nGiven the firm's strong growth and operating metrics versus its competitors, while the IPO isn't cheap, it is worth consideration.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863794349,"gmtCreate":1632434119981,"gmtModify":1676530779591,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"okok","listText":"okok","text":"okok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863794349","repostId":"1148130438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148130438","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":1632412797,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1148130438?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-23 23:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sterling Check opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148130438","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 23) Sterling Check Corp. opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.\nCompany & Te","content":"<p>(Sept 23)&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STER\">Sterling Check Corp.</a> opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc3f51dd719989f02bf56c538ce17c72\" tg-width=\"904\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>Company &amp; Technology</b></p>\n<p>New York-based Sterling was founded to develop a full suite of background screening, verifications and ongoing monitoring services for businesses.</p>\n<p>Management is headed by Chief Executive Officer Joshua Peirez, who has been with the firm since July 2018 and was previously president and COO of Dun &amp; Bradstreet and held senior roles at Mastercard prior to that.</p>\n<p>The company’s primary offering categories include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>Identity verification</p></li>\n <li><p>Background screening</p></li>\n <li><p>Credential verifications</p></li>\n <li><p>Onboarding</p></li>\n <li><p>Ongoing monitoring</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Sterling has received at least $775 million in equity investment from investors including Goldman Sachs and The Greenblatt Trusts.</p>\n<p><b>Customer Acquisition</b></p>\n<p>The firm pursues large clients through a direct sales team approach organized by industry vertical and region.</p>\n<p>For the 12 months ended June 30, 2021, the firm's platform performed over 75 million searches for over 40,000 clients.</p>\n<p>Selling, G&amp;A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have dropped as revenues have fluctuated, as the figures below indicate:</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Selling, G&amp;A</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Expenses vs. Revenue</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Period</p></td>\n   <td><p>Percentage</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Six Mos.

A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nPer the firm’s most recent regulatory filing, it plans to use the net proceeds as follows:\n\n We currently intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay approximately $100.0 million outstanding under our Term loan. We intend to use the remainder, if any, of the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes.\n\nManagement’s presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nRegarding outstanding legal proceedings, management said the firm is not a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would be material to its operations or financial condition.\nListed bookrunners of the IPO are Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and other investment banks.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of the firm’s relevant capitalization and valuation metrics at IPO, excluding the effects of underwriter options:\n\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$1,973,227,914\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$2,401,254,914\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n3.62\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n4.41\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n122.06\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n-$0.08\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n15.20%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$21.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n$44,998,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n2.28%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n43.64%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(Source)\nAs a reference, a potential public comparable would be First Advantage(NASDAQ:FA); shown below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\n\n\n\nMetric\nFirst Advantage\nSterling Check\nVariance\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n5.76\n3.62\n-37.1%\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n6.53\n4.41\n-32.5%\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n23.41\n122.06\n421.4%\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$0.04\n-$0.08\n-293.0%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n19.2%\n43.64%\n127.89%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(S-1/AandSeeking Alpha)\nCommentary\nSTER is going public to obtain investment to pay down some of its debt and for its corporate expansion initiatives.\nThe firm’s financials show rebounding topline revenue growth, uneven gross profit growth, a swing to operating profit and net income and growing cash flow from operations in 2021.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was an impressive $45 million.\nSelling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have trended lower as revenue has varied and its Selling, G&A efficiency rate rebounded to 1.3x in the most recent six-month reporting period.\nThe market opportunity for providing background checks and related services is large and expected to grow at a moderate CAGR Of 5.5% in the coming years, although the continued transition to a decentralized workforce may increase demand a bit above this estimate.\nGoldman Sachs is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 37.3% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe general business cycle - when companies hire fewer workers during down economic periods, demand for the company’s services will decline.\nWhile Sterling is not immune to the ups and downs of the business cycle and potential future pandemic variant effects on economic activity, the firm has rebounded impressively and appears positioned to compete in a growing market.\nAs for valuation, compared to First Advantage, which went public earlier in 2021 and performed since its debut, STER appears reasonably valued on a revenue multiple basis as the firm is growing revenue at a faster rate. STER is nearing EPS breakeven.\nGiven the company’s strong rebound after the 2020 pandemic period and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth a close look.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":22,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863794991,"gmtCreate":1632434105613,"gmtModify":1676530779590,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great..&nbsp;","listText":"Great..&nbsp;","text":"Great..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863794991","repostId":"1150145468","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150145468","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":1632413106,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150145468?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-24 00:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sovos Brands opens for trading at $14.7, up about 22% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150145468","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 23) Sovos Brands, Inc. opens for trading at $14.7, up about 22% from IPO price.","content":"<p>(Sept 23)&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOVO\">Sovos Brands, Inc.</a> opens for trading at $14.7, up about 22% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4cf35300eb72dc44987635c428fb00b\" tg-width=\"905\" tg-height=\"545\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The British pound weakened after Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng&nbsp;warnedthat people should prepare for longer-term high energy prices amid a natural-gas shortage that sent power costs soaring.

Shares of the biotech company have dropped more than 8% since Sept. 1. Yet, good news could be on the horizon. The company might be the next to enter the coronavirus vaccine market. It aims to complete its U.S. regulatory request in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>So, why the poor share performance? Investors weren't happy when Novavax fell behind in its timeline to bring its vaccine candidate to market. The company initially said it would complete the U.S. regulatory request in June, but raw materials shortages and related logistics issues held things up.</p>\n<p>Still, there is plenty of positive news. Data from the phase 3 trial are solid. The company landed a supply agreement with the European Union for as many as 200 million doses. And Novavax predicts that overall, it will bring in billions of dollars in revenue in the coming quarters if the vaccine candidate is authorized.</p>\n<p>Novavax also has a flu vaccine candidate, NanoFlu, that last year met all primary endpoints in a phase 3 trial. I'm optimistic about the commercialization of that product down the road. And Novavax recently launched a clinical trial of a combined flu/COVID vaccine candidate. Considering the performance of each vaccine candidate individually, I'm optimistic about the success of them combined. All of this means plenty of potential catalysts for the stock into the future.</p>\n<h3>Amazon</h3>\n<p>I like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) for its dominance in e-commerce. In the last earnings report, the company said it added 50 million members to its Prime membership program over a period of 18 months. And the company's two-year compound annual growth rate is in the range of 25% to 30%. That's higher than the revenue growth rate of 21% prior to the pandemic. Online shopping isn't going away. And Amazon is leading the way.</p>\n<p>So, I like Amazon for that business. But I <i>love</i> Amazon for its top position in the world of cloud computing. Why? Amazon Web Services is a major contributor to profit. AWS makes up 54% of Amazon's operating income. And it's likely this will continue. The pandemic marked a turning point for many businesses: They no longer wanted to take care of their own technology infrastructure. So they turned to Amazon. In fact, worldwide cloud computer services are growing. Spending on these services climbed 36% in the second quarter to more than $47 billion, according to Canalys.</p>\n<p>Amazon shares have gained less than 4% this year. I don't see this as a permanent slowdown; I see it as an opportunity to get in on this innovative growth company before the stock takes off again.</p>\n<h3>Starbucks</h3>\n<p>Today's <b>Starbucks</b> (NASDAQ:SBUX) is different from the Starbucks of the past. The focus no longer is sitting in a cafe with a group of friends over coffee. During the worst of the pandemic, the company studied the changes in the market and predicted trends that would last. And importantly, Starbucks adapted.</p>\n<p>The coffee-shop giant is revamping its store profile in the U.S. For example, it's opening smaller shops dedicated to order pickup in cities. Starbucks also made efforts to open more drive-thrus. This store transformation is about 80% complete. It's clear that the areas it is targeting are key. Drive-thru orders accounted for 47% of transactions in the most recent quarter. And online orders for pickup or delivery represented 26% of transactions.</p>\n<p>I also like Starbucks' brand strength. The company added 1 million active members to its Rewards program in the past quarter. And its total of about 24 million active Rewards members represents more than half of spending in U.S. stores. This is even more than before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Starbucks shares have slipped about 4% since the start of the month. At about $112, they're trading well below Wall Street's average 12-month price forecast of $131.26. So any pullback is definitely an opportunity to pour shares of this hot stock into your portfolio.</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>September Sell-Off: Best Stocks to Buy Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSeptember Sell-Off: Best Stocks to Buy Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-22 17:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.\n\nKey Points\n\nNovavax has many catalysts ahead, including potential coronavirus vaccine authorization.\nAmazon is a ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SBUX":"星巴克","NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","AMZN":"亚马逊"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/22/september-sell-off-best-stocks-to-buy-now/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2169656152","content_text":"General economic worries today don't change the big picture for these companies.\n\nKey Points\n\nNovavax has many catalysts ahead, including potential coronavirus vaccine authorization.\nAmazon is a leader in two major areas: e-commerce and cloud computing.\nStarbucks' most loyal customers are spending more and more at the coffee chain.\n\nThe stock market was going strong this year -- until just recently.

Here's what could go wrong","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169654193","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"The Federal Reserve has bet that high U.S. inflation will fade back to pre-pandemic lows in the next","content":"<p>The Federal Reserve has bet that high U.S. inflation will fade back to pre-pandemic lows in the next year or so, but if the wager is wrong it could create more hardship for millions of people and even sap an economic recovery.</p>\n<p>The most immediate threat from high inflation is the erosion in household buying power, economists say. Prices are now rising faster than wages and making it harder for families to meet their needs, especially those on lower incomes.</p>\n<p>If inflation remains stubbornly high, the Fed could also be forced to raise interest rates sooner than it planned and risk upsetting a strong economic recovery.</p>\n<p>In a worst-case scenario, critics contend, consumers and businesses could come to expect steadily rising prices and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Such a broad shift in attitude after a few decades of remarkably stable inflation could make it harder for the Fed to manage the economy in the longer run.</p>\n<p>\"Once people start to expect inflation to be higher, they change their behavior in ways that make it harder to get inflation to come back down,\" said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities.</p>\n<p><b>Soaring inflation</b></p>\n<p>The rate of inflation has more than doubled this year to 4.2% and shot up to the highest level in three decades, using the central bank's preferred price barometer. Inflation based on the so-called personal consumption expenditures index had averaged just a little above 1.5% a year in the decade before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Central bank officials had insisted for months the increase was all temporary. They blamed Covid-related disruptions in global trade and major changes in consumer buying habits for broad shortages of materials that caused prices to spike.</p>\n<p>Th Fed still thinks price pressures will fade, but the central bank now acknowledges inflation could remain above its 2% target for longer than anticipated. Some senior officials are also getting antsy and want to phase out a massive Fed bond-buying program that's being used to prop up the economy.</p>\n<p>The debate took center stage this week at the Fed's latest two-day meeting to decide its next step. For now the central bank appears to be track to announce plans to taper its bond purchases within the next few months.</p>\n<p><b>Pandemic-driven inflation</b></p>\n<p>The Fed is right that the pandemic has played a key role in the surge in inflation this year. Take autos. A global shortage of computers chips has curbed production of new cars and trucks and contributed to buying frenzy for used vehicles.</p>\n<p>The result: Prices of new and used cars have climbed to record highs in 2021 and contributed heavily to the increase in U.S. inflation.</p>\n<p>The problem is, price increases have spread to a broad array of business supplies and filtered through the broader economy. Companies are increasingly trying to recoup these costs by charging customers more for their products and services.</p>\n<p>What's more, shortages and production bottlenecks linked to the pandemic are still acute and are unlikely to relent anytime soon, keeping upward pressure on inflation.</p>\n<p><b>Rising wages</b></p>\n<p>What's also adding to the cost of doing business are higher wages. Average hourly pay has risen at a sharp 4.2% pace over the past year.</p>\n<p>Millions of people left the labor force early in the pandemic and haven't returned, creating the worst labor shortage in arguably decades. Companies have to pay more to retain current employees or to attract new ones, especially at businesses like restaurants where workers are more reluctant to deal face to face with customers like they once did.</p>\n<p>All these factors raise the question of whether inflation will fall as quickly as the Fed has predicted. The Fed itself predicts inflation will drop to 2.1% in 2022 from an estimated 3.4% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Yet the Fed also got inflation quite wrong this year. Just 10 months ago, the central bank prediction inflation would increase a tepid 1.8% in 2021. The Fed has since doubled its forecast.</p>\n<p>Wall Street economists don't think inflation will fall as quickly as the Fed believes. Most predict prices will rise at least 3% in 2022.</p>\n<p>\"That is my worry,\" said chief economist Richard Moody of Regions Financial. \"Inflation will be above the Fed's [2%] target through all of next year.\"</p>\n<p><b>Damage to the economy</b></p>\n<p>A prolonged bout of high inflation could cause consumer spending -- the main driver of the U.S. economy -- to slow. Consumers have already cut back on purchases of new cars and other goods because of record prices. A recent survey found that consumers say it's the worst time to buy a car since the early 1980s.</p>\n<p>What could also pose a risk to the economy is if the Fed moves to squelch inflation by raising interest rates more rapidly than it plans. A series of rapid interest-rate hikes could choke off U.S. economic growth and sent stock markets plummeting.</p>\n<p>\"That could rattle financial markets and the economy,\" said senior economist Sal Guatieri of BMO Capital Markets.</p>\n<p>Yet the likelihood of the Powell Fed acting so aggressively appears dim, other analysts say. The central bank is more focused on ensuring a strong U.S. jobs market and low unemployment and less worried about a sustained period of high inflation.</p>\n<p>Stanley of Amherst Pierpont believes the Fed will raise interest rates slowly even if inflation remains elevated, possibly making it harder for the central bank to put the genie back in the bottle.</p>\n<p>The big risk, he said, is that consumers and businesses lose faith in the Fed's ability to keep inflation low. Such an outcome could make the U.S. economy more unstable and prone to sharper ups and downs.</p>\n<p>Farfetched?

Sales from regulatory credits—a source of revenue seen as less sustainable than sales of vehicles—-fell, but operating profits rose to record highs because of strong profitability in the automotive division.</p>\n<p>Tesla generates the credits by making more than its fair share of zero- emission cars and sells them to manufacturers that still rely on internal-combustion engines. Pessimists on the stock believe that source of income will dwindle over time.</p>\n<p>The stock, however, was down 1.5% in early trading Tuesday. The&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average,for comparison, had fallen 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively.</p>\n<p>It is a muted reaction to a good quarter, typical of the way stocks of mature businesses behave. Tesla stock moved more than 10% in response to three of the four 2019 quarterly reports. But it rose or fell an average of about 2.5% in response to the 2020 earnings reports.</p>\n<p>The typical 2020 move was a fall in the price in response to news of better-than-expected results. The same thing happened after the release of results for the first quarter of 2021.</p>\n<p>That is another sign of maturity. A small drop in response to better-than-expected results is the typical outcome for stocks. Investors always expect companies to exceed analyst projections, and when they get that result, they “sell the news.”</p>\n<p>The reaction among Wall Street analysts to the latest results is yet another sign of maturity. Mizuho analyst&nbsp;Vijay Rakesh&nbsp;raised his target for Tesla’s stock price by $5 to $825 following the news, for a bump of less than 1%.</p>\n<p>Back in January, RBC analyst&nbsp;Joe Spak&nbsp;raised his target price to $700 a share from $339 after changing how he thought about Tesla’s business. That was a huge target-price change from a large broker.</p>\n<p>Smaller changes in price targets can indicate a business is becoming more stable, and that analysts believe they have a grip on what is happening. That reduces the need for them to dramatically overhaul their views in response to events.</p>\n<p>Overall, the average&nbsp;analyst target price&nbsp;is up about $18, or 3%, in reaction to Monday’s results to about $644 a share. Tesla shares are trading about 1% or 2% above the average analyst target price.</p>\n<p>Target prices generally reflect where analysts think a stock should trade to earn a fair return out into the future. The average target price on stocks in the S&amp;P 500 implies a gain of 7%.</p>\n<p>Even the fact that Tesla is trading around its average analyst target price is a sign of maturity.

Sales from regulatory credits—a source of revenue seen as less sustainable than sales of vehicles—-fell, but operating profits rose to record highs because of strong profitability in the automotive division.\nTesla generates the credits by making more than its fair share of zero- emission cars and sells them to manufacturers that still rely on internal-combustion engines. Pessimists on the stock believe that source of income will dwindle over time.\nThe stock, however, was down 1.5% in early trading Tuesday. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average,for comparison, had fallen 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively.\nIt is a muted reaction to a good quarter, typical of the way stocks of mature businesses behave. Tesla stock moved more than 10% in response to three of the four 2019 quarterly reports. But it rose or fell an average of about 2.5% in response to the 2020 earnings reports.\nThe typical 2020 move was a fall in the price in response to news of better-than-expected results. The same thing happened after the release of results for the first quarter of 2021.\nThat is another sign of maturity. A small drop in response to better-than-expected results is the typical outcome for stocks. Investors always expect companies to exceed analyst projections, and when they get that result, they “sell the news.”\nThe reaction among Wall Street analysts to the latest results is yet another sign of maturity. Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh raised his target for Tesla’s stock price by $5 to $825 following the news, for a bump of less than 1%.\nBack in January, RBC analyst Joe Spak raised his target price to $700 a share from $339 after changing how he thought about Tesla’s business. That was a huge target-price change from a large broker.\nSmaller changes in price targets can indicate a business is becoming more stable, and that analysts believe they have a grip on what is happening. That reduces the need for them to dramatically overhaul their views in response to events.\nOverall, the average analyst target price is up about $18, or 3%, in reaction to Monday’s results to about $644 a share. Tesla shares are trading about 1% or 2% above the average analyst target price.\nTarget prices generally reflect where analysts think a stock should trade to earn a fair return out into the future. The average target price on stocks in the S&P 500 implies a gain of 7%.\nEven the fact that Tesla is trading around its average analyst target price is a sign of maturity. A year ago, the average target price for Tesla stock was about $225, while the price was above $300.\nShareholders and bulls on the stock might like a bigger response from the stock when earnings come in strong, but the days of 20% moves, up or down, might be gone for Tesla. That is more evidence that Tesla is here to stay as the world’s most valuable car company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189255211,"gmtCreate":1623279071933,"gmtModify":1704199768408,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like n coment thz","listText":"like n coment thz","text":"like n coment thz","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/189255211","repostId":"1135487602","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135487602","pubTimestamp":1623254102,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1135487602?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-09 23:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"With Fed's Reverse Repo Hitting Half A Trillion, Wall Street Scrambles To Figure Out What Comes Next","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135487602","media":"zerohedge","summary":"With usage of the Fed's overnight reverse repo facility again hitting a new record high on Tuesday, ","content":"<p>With usage of the Fed's overnight reverse repo facility again hitting a new record high on Tuesday, rising to an all-time high of $497.4 billion...</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b9d2bb6af82c6f76849da52e9583a94\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"259\"></p>\n<p>... rates traders are trying to decide if the Fed will tweak the rate on either the IOER (Interest on Excess Reserves) or the Reverse Repo Facility, collectively the Fed's \"administered rates\" in order to ease the liquidity congestion that has parked half a trillion dollars at the Fed where it is sitting inert, doing nothing.</p>\n<p>One strategist who believes there is a \"small chance\" the Fed will adjust its IOER/RRP rate is Deutsche Bank's Steven Zeng, who also cited concern about the quarter-end balance sheet squeeze, which is less than the futures market is currently pricing.</p>\n<p>As a reminder, the Fed’s ongoing $120BN in monthly QE and Treasury’s continued drawdown of its cash balance, create permanent reserves that are sitting on bank balance sheets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e284a2218c963fffabe80f6e92118f5\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"342\"></p>\n<p>At the same time, demand for deposits adds to the bloat and forces banks to supply these liabilities and hold lower-yielding assets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08c9dd332a2a6bf7d3ef51328649fc99\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"346\"></p>\n<p>This puts downward pressure on banks’ supplementary leverage ratios,<b>so now institutions must either raise capital or reduce loans</b>.

Financial firms have been willing to take the zero percent the Fed offers them through the facility in large part because there are few other short-term investments available, and in some cases, these private market investments actually cost money to invest in. That makes the Fed’s zero percent repo rate attractive on a relative basis.“The system is working exactly as designed,” New York Fed President John Williams said in a video interview on Yahoo Finance last Thursday. The reverse repo facility, he added, is “working really well and the fact that funds are flowing between the banking system and our overnight reverse repos, this is kind of how we would expect that to happen” given the level of money coursing through short-term markets.The growing use of the reverse repo facility follows Lorie Logan, who manages the Fed’s massive $7.9 trillion holdings of cash and securities, having said recently that the central bank would rely on it more and expand the number of firms that could access it. The timing of that shift lined up with the wall of cash that started flowing to the Fed.What is happening at the reverse repo facility doesn’t have much of a broader economic impact. Meanwhile, central bankers have become confident enough in the general health of financial markets to debate pulling back on their $120 billion a month in bond buying stimulus.\n</blockquote>\n<p>But as confident as the NY Fed's career academic head, Williams, is, some<i><b>expert</b></i>market participants are anxious. “That amount of cash flowing into the Fed is not healthy for the repo market,” said the abovementioned Scott Skyrm; He thinks the Fed needs to scale back its bond purchases, which he deemed the “most obvious and most effective way to bring cash back into the market” and out of the Fed’s balance sheet.</p>\n<p>Alas, it now appears that won't happen. And so, with the Fed facility set to keep rising, the question is will we hit $1 trillion in inert liquidity at the Fed before the Fed does agree that someone is wrong, or will an amount of cash greater than the market cap of bitcoin and ethereum remain frozen inside some Fed server...</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1583725640930","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The reverse repo facility, he added, is “working really well and the fact that funds are flowing between the banking system and our overnight reverse repos, this is kind of how we would expect that to happen” given the level of money coursing through short-term markets.The growing use of the reverse repo facility follows Lorie Logan, who manages the Fed’s massive $7.9 trillion holdings of cash and securities, having said recently that the central bank would rely on it more and expand the number of firms that could access it. The timing of that shift lined up with the wall of cash that started flowing to the Fed.What is happening at the reverse repo facility doesn’t have much of a broader economic impact. Meanwhile, central bankers have become confident enough in the general health of financial markets to debate pulling back on their $120 billion a month in bond buying stimulus.\n\nBut as confident as the NY Fed's career academic head, Williams, is, someexpertmarket participants are anxious. “That amount of cash flowing into the Fed is not healthy for the repo market,” said the abovementioned Scott Skyrm; He thinks the Fed needs to scale back its bond purchases, which he deemed the “most obvious and most effective way to bring cash back into the market” and out of the Fed’s balance sheet.\nAlas, it now appears that won't happen. And so, with the Fed facility set to keep rising, the question is will we hit $1 trillion in inert liquidity at the Fed before the Fed does agree that someone is wrong, or will an amount of cash greater than the market cap of bitcoin and ethereum remain frozen inside some Fed server...","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":19,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":113083246,"gmtCreate":1622585347885,"gmtModify":1704186626719,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oh really??","listText":"oh really??","text":"oh really??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/113083246","repostId":"2139589924","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2139589924","pubTimestamp":1622540455,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2139589924?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-01 17:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Investing Mistakes That Could Wipe You Out in a Market Crash","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2139589924","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"They're more common than you think.","content":"<p>Just about everyone will lose money when the stock market takes a dip. Whether that loss is temporary or permanent depends on the investing moves you make both before the crash and during it.

Not diversifying enough</h2>\n<p>Diversifying your portfolio is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the most important things you can do to protect yourself against loss. By investing in many securities, you ensure that no single <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> has too great an effect on your portfolio. When one stock price drops, you'll have others to pick up the slack.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/687ff1e880a5d2b6660d9687ed6f8ed6\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's not quite as simple as investing in multiple stocks, though. You also need to make sure you have your money spread around in many sectors, so that if one is hit hard (as was the case with a lot of tourism-related businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic), you won't lose everything. You should have some of your money in bonds and other safe investments as well to balance out the stocks you own.</p>\n<p>One of the simplest ways to diversify your portfolio quickly is to invest in an index fund. These are collections of stocks that track a market index, like the S&amp;P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). They often contain hundreds of stocks in several industries, and they generate returns that are very similar to their underlying index. Their fees are pretty affordable too. Some of the most popular S&amp;P 500 index funds have expense ratios of just 0.03%. That means you only pay $3 per year if you have $10,000 invested.</p>\n<h2>2. Emotional buying and selling</h2>\n<p>Hearing a lot of chatter about a stock on social media can make some inexperienced investors tempted to buy a lot of it in the hopes of becoming an overnight millionaire. And seeing a stock in their portfolio plummet can make some want to sell for fear of losing even more if they hold onto the stock.</p>\n<p>But it's often best to avoid these rash moves. If you guess wrong, you could waste your money on a stock going nowhere or turn a temporary loss into a permanent one by selling too soon. Instead, do your research into an investment before buying or selling. Focus on its long-term growth potential. Don't worry about day-to-day shifts unless you begin to notice a larger trend that suggests the company may be heading for trouble.</p>\n<h2>3. Investing money you'll need in the next few years</h2>\n<p>Keep money you plan to spend in the next five to seven years out of the stock market if you can. Investing is one of the best ways to grow your wealth over the long term, but the stock market's volatility makes it a bad place for short-term investments. If you need your money at a certain time, you have to sell, regardless of what your shares are worth at the time. That could mean taking a huge loss.</p>\n<p>If you'd rather not leave your money in a savings account earning next to no interest, try stashing it in a high-yield savings account or a certificate of deposit (CD) instead. These won't give you the same returns that investing your money could, but there's no risk of loss. Plus, savings accounts enable you to withdraw your funds at any time. CDs typically don't allow you to withdraw money before the CD term is up, or else you'll pay a penalty. But that shouldn't be an issue if you know you won't need your money for a while.</p>\n<p>The underlying thread in all three of the mistakes above is not thinking about how your decisions could affect your finances down the road. Even when times are good, you should always be thinking about how your portfolio will fare in a market crash, because you never know when the next one's going to happen.</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 Investing Mistakes That Could Wipe You Out in a Market Crash</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 Investing Mistakes That Could Wipe You Out in a Market Crash\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-01 17:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/31/3-investing-mistakes-that-could-wipe-you-out-in-a/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Just about everyone will lose money when the stock market takes a dip.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock.

If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons.

And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call.

Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says.

The ensuing weeks have brought a&nbsp;surprisingly weak jobs report&nbsp;and a&nbsp;stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.</p>\n<p>And unlike&nbsp;last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention. The steep climb in yields abated at the end of March, even as economic data showed and stronger price pressures in April.&nbsp;The 10-year yield has&nbsp;dropped to 1.64%&nbsp;from 1.74% on March 31.</p>\n<p>Yet the document may still provide some clues about the central bank’s views. And officials have provided more perspective on policy since the latest meeting as well. Notably, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida spoke at a conference on Monday and discussed some recent economic data points as well.</p>\n<p>Here’s what strategists expect out of the meeting today, and what Clarida said about the topics:</p>\n<p><b>“Attuned and Attentive” to “Transitory” Inflation?</b></p>\n<p>One popular line among Fed officials, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, has been the assurance that this spring is expected to bring a “transitory” rise in inflation, mostly related to the reopening of the U.S. economy after the pandemic brought a sharp deceleration in activity last year.</p>\n<p>Mizuho economists Steven Ricchiuto and Alex Pelle wrote in a May 18 note that they expect “several mentions of ‘transitory’ price pressures” in the minutes. They also highlighted that many of the steepest increases in consumer prices in April were in sectors where demand had been hit most by the pandemic, such as hotels and airfares. “So far [that] validates the Fed’s thinking,” they added.</p>\n<p>Yet at Monday’s conference, Clarida seemed to be repeating a different type of assurance about inflation:&nbsp; That the central bank would be “attuned and attentive” to any data showing higher price pressures.</p>\n<p>“In the CPI report, [reopening] did clearly put upward pressure on prices. Now our baseline view is that most of this is likely to be transitory, but we have to be attuned and attentive to the incoming data,” he said. “[The] key element of our mandate is price stability and an important component of price stability is well-anchored inflation expectations. If we were to see upward pressure on prices or inflation that threatened to put inflation expectations higher, I have no doubt we would use our tools to address that situation.”</p>\n<p><b>Taper Timeline</b></p>\n<p>Investors will also be looking to see if the central bank provides any additional guidance on when it might start paring back its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases.

The ensuing weeks have brought a surprisingly weak jobs report and a stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.\nAnd unlike last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention. The steep climb in yields abated at the end of March, even as economic data showed and stronger price pressures in April. The 10-year yield has dropped to 1.64% from 1.74% on March 31.\nYet the document may still provide some clues about the central bank’s views. And officials have provided more perspective on policy since the latest meeting as well. Notably, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida spoke at a conference on Monday and discussed some recent economic data points as well.\nHere’s what strategists expect out of the meeting today, and what Clarida said about the topics:\n“Attuned and Attentive” to “Transitory” Inflation?\nOne popular line among Fed officials, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, has been the assurance that this spring is expected to bring a “transitory” rise in inflation, mostly related to the reopening of the U.S. economy after the pandemic brought a sharp deceleration in activity last year.\nMizuho economists Steven Ricchiuto and Alex Pelle wrote in a May 18 note that they expect “several mentions of ‘transitory’ price pressures” in the minutes. They also highlighted that many of the steepest increases in consumer prices in April were in sectors where demand had been hit most by the pandemic, such as hotels and airfares. “So far [that] validates the Fed’s thinking,” they added.\nYet at Monday’s conference, Clarida seemed to be repeating a different type of assurance about inflation:  That the central bank would be “attuned and attentive” to any data showing higher price pressures.\n“In the CPI report, [reopening] did clearly put upward pressure on prices. Now our baseline view is that most of this is likely to be transitory, but we have to be attuned and attentive to the incoming data,” he said. “[The] key element of our mandate is price stability and an important component of price stability is well-anchored inflation expectations. If we were to see upward pressure on prices or inflation that threatened to put inflation expectations higher, I have no doubt we would use our tools to address that situation.”\nTaper Timeline\nInvestors will also be looking to see if the central bank provides any additional guidance on when it might start paring back its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases. Powell has said the Fed wants to make “substantial further progress” toward its goals of full employment and a long-term average of 2% inflation before it wants to pare down its purchases, but officials haven’t provided much additional guidance.\nMost on Wall Street expect the Fed to discuss longer-term plans to reduce, or taper, its purchases late this summer or during the fall. NatWest Markets said in a Monday note that it expects the Fed to start talking about tapering its purchases in September and actually start to reduce the pace of bond-buying next year.\nSo any more detailed discussion in the latest meeting minutes could come as a surprise to investors and potentially matter for markets.\nLabor-Market Outlook\nOne key factor that will determine the outlook for the Fed’s bond buying (and other accommodation) is the recovery in the labor market. And that remains up in the air, after the disappointing April jobs report.\nStill, there is a chance investors could find more context on one of their questions in the minutes:  How much improvement will be enough for the Fed to start withdrawing accommodation? In other words, what does “substantial further progress” mean?\nBefore the disappointing news on April’s labor market, most of Wall Street expected a strong month for jobs creation, another step toward the “string” of strong months of recovery that Powell had said was needed before the U.S. achieved “substantial further progress” toward the Fed’s goals. That may have prompted officials to discuss just how far along the recovery would need to go before the central bank could start stepping back.\nClarida discussed the April employment report on Monday as well.\n“What the April employment report said to me is that the way we bring supply and demand into balance in the labor market, especially in the service sector, may take some time and may produce some upward pressure on prices as workers return to employment, so we have to be attuned and attentive to that data flow,” he said. “Per that April employment report, we have not made substantial further progress, but as the data comes in we as a committee will have to evaluate that, and ultimately make a judgment.”\nUltimately, the importance of future labor-market data hints at the broader takeaway from the Fed’s meeting minutes:  Coming months’ economic data may be the final arbiter of what the Fed does, and its plans to remove accommodation from markets and the economy. And the economic data has been so volatile during the reopening that the picture could change significantly by the time the Fed meets again in June.\nThat means investors will have to hold tight for a while longer to get a sense of when the central bank plans to start stepping back.\n“We’re reluctant to call this an equilibrium of any sort – rather it’s much more likely to prove a temporary holding pattern as macro expectations are further refined,” wrote Ian Lyngen, strategist with BMO. “Clearly, we have more questions than answers.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":245,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":837726092,"gmtCreate":1629930259916,"gmtModify":1676530172593,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"noted","listText":"noted","text":"noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/837726092","repostId":"1169751382","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891896603,"gmtCreate":1628375018002,"gmtModify":1703505413685,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sao peh la","listText":"Sao peh la","text":"Sao peh la","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891896603","repostId":"1139912651","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806567621,"gmtCreate":1627680852463,"gmtModify":1703494499681,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"amc... can stop this topic??","listText":"amc... can stop this topic??","text":"amc... can stop this topic??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806567621","repostId":"1169140433","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173114993,"gmtCreate":1626645529312,"gmtModify":1703762486313,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"not good","listText":"not good","text":"not good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/173114993","repostId":"1183956332","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183956332","pubTimestamp":1626568120,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1183956332?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-18 08:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US IPO Week Ahead: Software, soft drinks, specialty insurance, and more debut in a 17 IPO week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183956332","media":"renaissancecap...","summary":"The IPO market’s breakneck pace is expected to continue in the week ahead, with a whopping 17 IPOs slated to raise $4.7 billion.The largest deal of the week, specialty insurance brokerage Ryan Specialty Group plans to raise $1.3 billion at a $6.1 billion market cap.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.\nAlthough Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137776774,"gmtCreate":1622413511898,"gmtModify":1704183833393,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WDH\">$Waterdrop Inc.(WDH)$</a>one word.. pls fly","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WDH\">$Waterdrop Inc.(WDH)$</a>one word.. pls fly","text":"$Waterdrop Inc.(WDH)$one word.. pls fly","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97abc0561f3195dbc02c8dcba37fed44","width":"1440","height":"2560"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/137776774","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":359,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136019228,"gmtCreate":1621984932364,"gmtModify":1704365369903,"author":{"id":"3582963095283492","authorId":"3582963095283492","name":"replaygoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d47b21291424a3d55039334a8de5cdb9","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahaha... sounds great","listText":"Hahaha... sounds great","text":"Hahaha... sounds great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136019228","repostId":"2138193481","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138193481","pubTimestamp":1621955848,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138193481?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-25 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Truist Insurance Inks Deal to Buy Constellation Affiliated Partners","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138193481","media":"SmarterAnalyst","summary":"Truist Insurance Holdings, Inc. a subsidiary of Truist Financial Corporation (TFC) has inked a deal ","content":"<p>Truist Insurance Holdings, Inc. a subsidiary of Truist Financial Corporation (<b>TFC</b>) has inked a deal to buy Constellation Affiliated Partners from Redbird Capital Partners.
