Transocean referred inquiries to its securities filings.</p>\n<p>Jamie Zimmerman, founder and CEO of hedge-fund manager Litespeed Management LLC, said that some troubled companies may be unable to raise new debt, and selling stock may be their only path to obtain financing.</p>\n<p>“You don’t get unless you ask,” said Dan Zwirn, founder and chief executive of asset manager Arena Investors LP. “If I’m structurally insolvent and can’t refinance myself into extending the life of the enterprise, I might as well take this shot.”</p>\n<p>“With this infusion of retail people, there are more counterparties for such a transaction,” Mr. Zwirn added.</p>\n<p>Inflows of capital from individual investors, some using money from federal stimulus funds to open trading accounts, have buoyed the broader stock market, driving gains of more than10% year-to-datefor the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite Index.</p>\n<p>Individual investors’ share of overall U.S. equities trading volume rose last year to roughly double what it was a decade before andcontinues to grow. At times, their bets on beaten-down stocks havebeat out institutional investors.</p>\n<p>Howard Fischer, a securities lawyer with Moses &amp; Singer LLP, said that the underlying economic health now seems less important than the unbridled enthusiasm of individual investors, even if that enthusiasm is divorced from any rational economic analysis.</p>\n<p>Hertz Global Holdings Inc.tried to ride a wave of interest from retail traders to finance itself last year while it was under bankruptcy protection, and ended up scrapping the effort under pressure from the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>\n<p>The bullish individual investors who bet on the business shortly after it filed for chapter 11 were vindicated when Hertz found buyers agreeing to pay up to $8 a share in value.</p>\n<p>Adi Habbu, a director on the credit trading desk atBarclays PLC,said widespread bullishness in equity markets goes beyond retail traders, and is fueled by the economic recovery and the easing of pandemic restrictions.</p>\n<p>“It’s certainly not a bad time to try,” he said. “The core trend is that there is positive reopening sentiment that is driven not just by retail but by institutional players as well.”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In a statement, NVIDIA dismissed Qualcomm's suggestion and declared that taking Arm public again would throttle its development of new chip designs.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm's statement marks a continuation of its protests against NVIDIA's takeover of Arm, which was initially announced last September. Let's see why Qualcomm desperately wants to keep Arm out of NVIDIA's hands, and why its desire to buy a stake in Arm also reveals its greatest fear.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7fb54ba8f872a3051efd3f32259d63bc\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1125\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>Reviewing Qualcomm's weaknesses</b></p>\n<p>Qualcomm is one of the world's largest producers of&nbsp;mobile chips&nbsp;and baseband modems. It also owns the largest portfolio of cellular patents. In the earlier days of smartphones, Qualcomm comfortably dominated the mobile chip market with its Snapdragon SoCs (systems on chips), which bundle together application processors, GPUs, and modems. Its licensing business also collected royalties from every smartphone maker worldwide -- even those that didn't use Qualcomm's chips.</p>\n<p>But over the past year, Taiwanese chipmaker&nbsp;<b>MediaTek</b>&nbsp;(OTC:MDTKF)&nbsp;overtook Qualcomm as the world's largest mobile chipmaker. Between the first quarters of 2020 and 2021, MediaTek's global market share rose from 24% to 35%, according to Counterpoint Research, as Qualcomm's share dipped from 31% to 29%. Top smartphone makers, including&nbsp;<b>Apple</b>,<b>Samsung</b>, and&nbsp;<b>Huawei</b>, also continued to use their own first-party application processors instead of Qualcomm's chips.</p>\n<p>Antitrust regulators have also forced Qualcomm to reduce its licensing fees in several major markets, including China, over the past few years. That pressure throttled the growth of its licensing business, which had previously generated much higher-margin revenue than its chipmaking business.</p>\n<p>In the past Qualcomm pushed other mobile chipmakers, including NVIDIA and&nbsp;<b>Texas Instruments</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:TXN), out of the market by bundling its chips with lower licensing fees. NVIDIA and TI couldn't match those prices, so they eventually surrendered the smartphone market to Qualcomm.</p>\n<p><b>Arm is the ultimate gatekeeper of mobile chips</b></p>\n<p>In that context, it seems ironic for Qualcomm to oppose NVIDIA's takeover of Arm. However, the deal could threaten Qualcomm in two ways.</p>\n<p>First, Arm only collects royalties from its chip designs; it doesn't manufacture chips. About 95% of all mobile chips across the world -- including those produced by Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Apple, Samsung, and Huawei -- use Arm's designs.</p>\n<p>After buying Arm, NVIDIA won't need to pay Arm any royalties on its own Tegra SoCs -- which are primarily used in cars, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes -- and it will collect royalties from all the other Arm chipmakers.</p>\n<p>That shift could also enable NVIDIA to make its Tegra SoCs cheaper than Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs. The Tegra hasn't been aimed at smartphones since NVIDIA discontinued its Icera modem business in 2015, but the chipset could still challenge Qualcomm in markets that don't require cellular connections -- such as connected TVs and Arm-based PCs.</p>\n<p>Second, Qualcomm believes NVIDIA could eventually prevent Arm, which is often called the \"Switzerland of chips\" for its neutral positioning, from offering its most advanced chip designs to chipmakers other than NVIDIA. NVIDIA dismissed those claims, but its recent introduction of the Grace CPU -- a high-end Arm-based chip for data centers -- indicates it has big plans for Arm-based chips beyond the Tegra.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm has repeatedly failed to crack the data center market, which is dominated by<b>Intel</b>, with its higher-end Arm-based chips. However, NVIDIA might produce a much more powerful data center chip by pumping more cash into Arm -- and quietly keep those designs to itself.</p>\n<p><b>Should Qualcomm's investors worry?</b></p>\n<p>NVIDIA's takeover of Arm still faces many hurdles, including antitrust probes across the world and legal battles against the CEO of Arm China, who has refused to resign after being ousted by the board.

In a statement, NVIDIA dismissed Qualcomm's suggestion and declared that taking Arm public again would throttle its development of new chip designs.\nQualcomm's statement marks a continuation of its protests against NVIDIA's takeover of Arm, which was initially announced last September. Let's see why Qualcomm desperately wants to keep Arm out of NVIDIA's hands, and why its desire to buy a stake in Arm also reveals its greatest fear.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nReviewing Qualcomm's weaknesses\nQualcomm is one of the world's largest producers of mobile chips and baseband modems. It also owns the largest portfolio of cellular patents. In the earlier days of smartphones, Qualcomm comfortably dominated the mobile chip market with its Snapdragon SoCs (systems on chips), which bundle together application processors, GPUs, and modems. Its licensing business also collected royalties from every smartphone maker worldwide -- even those that didn't use Qualcomm's chips.\nBut over the past year, Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek (OTC:MDTKF) overtook Qualcomm as the world's largest mobile chipmaker. Between the first quarters of 2020 and 2021, MediaTek's global market share rose from 24% to 35%, according to Counterpoint Research, as Qualcomm's share dipped from 31% to 29%. Top smartphone makers, including Apple,Samsung, and Huawei, also continued to use their own first-party application processors instead of Qualcomm's chips.\nAntitrust regulators have also forced Qualcomm to reduce its licensing fees in several major markets, including China, over the past few years. That pressure throttled the growth of its licensing business, which had previously generated much higher-margin revenue than its chipmaking business.\nIn the past Qualcomm pushed other mobile chipmakers, including NVIDIA and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN), out of the market by bundling its chips with lower licensing fees. NVIDIA and TI couldn't match those prices, so they eventually surrendered the smartphone market to Qualcomm.\nArm is the ultimate gatekeeper of mobile chips\nIn that context, it seems ironic for Qualcomm to oppose NVIDIA's takeover of Arm. However, the deal could threaten Qualcomm in two ways.\nFirst, Arm only collects royalties from its chip designs; it doesn't manufacture chips. About 95% of all mobile chips across the world -- including those produced by Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Apple, Samsung, and Huawei -- use Arm's designs.\nAfter buying Arm, NVIDIA won't need to pay Arm any royalties on its own Tegra SoCs -- which are primarily used in cars, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes -- and it will collect royalties from all the other Arm chipmakers.\nThat shift could also enable NVIDIA to make its Tegra SoCs cheaper than Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs. The Tegra hasn't been aimed at smartphones since NVIDIA discontinued its Icera modem business in 2015, but the chipset could still challenge Qualcomm in markets that don't require cellular connections -- such as connected TVs and Arm-based PCs.\nSecond, Qualcomm believes NVIDIA could eventually prevent Arm, which is often called the \"Switzerland of chips\" for its neutral positioning, from offering its most advanced chip designs to chipmakers other than NVIDIA. NVIDIA dismissed those claims, but its recent introduction of the Grace CPU -- a high-end Arm-based chip for data centers -- indicates it has big plans for Arm-based chips beyond the Tegra.\nQualcomm has repeatedly failed to crack the data center market, which is dominated byIntel, with its higher-end Arm-based chips. However, NVIDIA might produce a much more powerful data center chip by pumping more cash into Arm -- and quietly keep those designs to itself.\nShould Qualcomm's investors worry?\nNVIDIA's takeover of Arm still faces many hurdles, including antitrust probes across the world and legal battles against the CEO of Arm China, who has refused to resign after being ousted by the board. Therefore, NVIDIA will likely need to make major concessions before the deal is approved.\nIn other words, a doomsday scenario for Qualcomm -- in which NVIDIA hoards all of Arm's latest designs, raises licensing fees across the board, and launches more advanced Arm chips to challenge its Snapdragon chips -- probably won't occur. NVIDIA will also likely focus on the PC gaming and data center markets instead of clashing with Qualcomm again in mobile chips.\nBuying a stake in Arm would help Qualcomm, since it could reduce is own licensing fees, but an NVIDIA takeover also won't derail its growth. For now, Qualcomm's investors should pay more attention to MediaTek, which is gradually creeping into the high-end smartphone market, and the global chip shortage, which could throttle its shipments this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169223141,"gmtCreate":1623838694483,"gmtModify":1703820980632,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169223141","repostId":"1105866425","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105866425","pubTimestamp":1623837565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105866425?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 17:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Lode of $100 Billion Stirs U.S. Worry Over Hidden Danger","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105866425","media":"bloomberg","summary":"Regulators are worried about hidden risks to investors and even the financial system stemming from a fast-growing corner of the crypto market meant to be immune from volatility.Their focus is on so-called stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency that has a fixed price, typically one dollar, and is backed by real-money reserves.But in recent weeks, lawmakers and officials from theFederal Reserveand the administration have expressed alarm both in public and private that some consumers won’t actually ","content":"<p>Regulators are worried about hidden risks to investors and even the financial system stemming from a fast-growing corner of the crypto market meant to be immune from volatility.</p>\n<p>Their focus is on so-called stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency that has a fixed price, typically one dollar, and is backed by real-money reserves.</p>\n<p>At the end of May, the total marketcapitalizationof stablecoins, which include ones offered by crypto firms Tether and Centre, broke $100 billion.</p>\n<p>But in recent weeks, lawmakers and officials from theFederal Reserveand the administration have expressed alarm both in public and private that some consumers won’t actually be protected should one of the firms not have the backing they purport to have.

Lipsky said stablecoin issuers could eventually work in tandem with international governments’ projects to issue their own digital currencies but that the U.S. and others will have to develop regulations to ensure consumers aren’t hurt.\n“The way it’s marketed is that you’re getting a dollar, but stablecoins are not always that stable,” Lipsky said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":184552815,"gmtCreate":1623719661237,"gmtModify":1704209442092,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooof","listText":"Ooof","text":"Ooof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/184552815","repostId":"2143733744","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143733744","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623717601,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143733744?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 08:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney CEO says 40% of upfront ad sales went to streaming or digital","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143733744","media":"Reuters","summary":"LOS ANGELES, June 14 (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co's advertising revenue for the upcoming fall televisi","content":"<p>LOS ANGELES, June 14 (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co's advertising revenue for the upcoming fall television season rose by \"double-digits\" from the levels of 2019 before the global pandemic, Chief Executive Bob Chapek said on Monday.</p>\n<p>About 40% of sales during the \"upfront\" sales period went to streaming or digital ads, Chapek said at Credit Suisse's virtual Communications Conference.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The collection of anecdotes gathered by the 12 regional Fed banks gives investors a look at the current economy from the ground, as described by businesses across the country.“Looking at the description of growth, it is hard not to be optimistic,” say Jefferies economists Thomas Simons and Aneta Markowska. “Looking at the description of the labor market and inflation, however, that optimism fades somewhat.”From growth to inflation, here are the main themes jumping out of the book released Wednesday.Economic expansionThe national economy expanded at a “moderate pace” over the past two month or so, a somewhat faster rate than the prior reporting period, the beige book says. Several districts cited the positive effects of increased vaccination rates and relaxed social distancing measures. Manufacturing boomed and activity across the leisure, hospitality and tourism industries strengthened.As the Boston Fed put it: Restaurants across Massachusetts experienced a dramatic uptick in sales in April and May, with recent revenues exceeding those in the same period of 2019.

Its platform helps clients secure and accelerate the performance of websites and applications. For example, it recently launched Cloudflare One, a network-as-a-service solution designed to replace outdated corporate networks.</p>\n<p>Traditionally, enterprises have taken a castle-and-moat approach to network security. All sensitive data was stored in a central location, and firewall appliances and internet gateways&nbsp;were used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. This was both costly and inefficient, often resulting in lag time for remote workers.</p>\n<p>By comparison, Cloudflare One acts as a secure access service edge&nbsp;(SASE). Rather than sending traffic through a central hub, SASE is a distributed network architecture. This means employees connect to Cloudflare's network, where traffic is filtered and security policies are enforced, then traffic is routed to the internet or the corporate network.</p>\n<p>This creates a fast, secure experience for employees, allowing them to access corporate resources and applications&nbsp;from any location, on any device. Moreover, according to research firm Gartner, 40%&nbsp;of enterprises will have plans to adopt SASE by 2024, up from just 1% in 2018. That radical shift gives Cloudflare a big opportunity.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the company is executing on that opportunity. Cloudflare has consistently delivered strong financial results in recent years.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Customers</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>49,309</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>119,206</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>31%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$135 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$478 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>48%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Cloudflare&nbsp;SEC Filings.

Moreover, according to research firm Gartner, 40% of enterprises will have plans to adopt SASE by 2024, up from just 1% in 2018. That radical shift gives Cloudflare a big opportunity.\nMore importantly, the company is executing on that opportunity. Cloudflare has consistently delivered strong financial results in recent years.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\n49,309\n119,206\n31%\n\n\nRevenue\n$135 million\n$478 million\n48%\n\n\n\nSource: Cloudflare SEC Filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nIn addition to growing quickly, Cloudflare also reported a net retention rate of 123% in the most recent quarter. Put another way, the average spend per customer increased 23% in Q1. This underscores the value of its platform. And assuming Cloudflare can maintain that momentum, the future looks bright for the tech company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111756314,"gmtCreate":1622702608038,"gmtModify":1704189248953,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":":')","listText":":')","text":":')","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111756314","repostId":"1143927575","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143927575","pubTimestamp":1622702421,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143927575?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-03 14:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Fed's Take on the Economy—From Growth to Inflation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143927575","media":"Barrons","summary":"Economic activity across the U.S. sped up from early April to late May as vaccinated consumers retur","content":"<p>Economic activity across the U.S. sped up from early April to late May as vaccinated consumers returned to normal activities and businesses dropped pandemic restrictions.</p><p>That’s the main takeaway from the Federal Reserve’s latest beige book, which we read so you don’t have to.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bb531efbf81e26901c99419e60ac186\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>AMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Seats are filling up in AMC theaters again</h3>\n<p>The summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: <i>A Quite Place 2 </i>and<i> Cruella. </i>That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.</p>\n<p>In roughly two weeks since its release, <b>Walt Disney</b>'s&nbsp;<i>Cruella</i> has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.</p>\n<p>In contrast, <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as <i>Cruella,</i> come to $138 million worldwide.</p>\n<p>The outperformance of <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch <i>Cruella</i> on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.</p>\n<p>Moreover, <i>F9: The Fast Saga</i>, another part of the successful <i>Fast and Furious</i> film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.</p>\n<p>With a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.</p>\n<h3>What this could mean for investors</h3>\n<p>That could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.</p>\n<p>On average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.\n\nAMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.\nSeats are filling up in AMC theaters again\nThe summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: A Quite Place 2 and Cruella. That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.\nIn roughly two weeks since its release, Walt Disney's Cruella has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.\nIn contrast, A Quiet Place 2 is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as Cruella, come to $138 million worldwide.\nThe outperformance of A Quiet Place 2 could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch Cruella on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.\nMoreover, F9: The Fast Saga, another part of the successful Fast and Furious film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.\nWith a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.\nWhat this could mean for investors\nThat could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.\nOn average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage. Add in the fact that AMC makes more in operating profit from viewers buying food and beverage than it does from ticket sales, and AMC could be generating positive cash flow from operations by the end of the second quarter. That is, of course, if there are no further disruptions from a resurgence of coronavirus cases.\nThe increase in cash flow, combined with the $1.246 billion in equity capital it has raised in recent months, should go a long way toward shoring up AMC's balance sheet and giving the battered movie theater chain more time to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus pandemic. And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9904042907,"gmtCreate":1659966414919,"gmtModify":1703476448326,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>Lets go get it babyyyyyy 50, 100, 500 and 1000 lets go","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>Lets go get it babyyyyyy 50, 100, 500 and 1000 lets go","text":"$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$Lets go get it babyyyyyy 50, 100, 500 and 1000 lets go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9904042907","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":190,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169223141,"gmtCreate":1623838694483,"gmtModify":1703820980632,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169223141","repostId":"1105866425","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105866425","pubTimestamp":1623837565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105866425?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 17:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Lode of $100 Billion Stirs U.S. Worry Over Hidden Danger","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105866425","media":"bloomberg","summary":"Regulators are worried about hidden risks to investors and even the financial system stemming from a fast-growing corner of the crypto market meant to be immune from volatility.Their focus is on so-called stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency that has a fixed price, typically one dollar, and is backed by real-money reserves.But in recent weeks, lawmakers and officials from theFederal Reserveand the administration have expressed alarm both in public and private that some consumers won’t actually ","content":"<p>Regulators are worried about hidden risks to investors and even the financial system stemming from a fast-growing corner of the crypto market meant to be immune from volatility.</p>\n<p>Their focus is on so-called stablecoins, a form of cryptocurrency that has a fixed price, typically one dollar, and is backed by real-money reserves.</p>\n<p>At the end of May, the total marketcapitalizationof stablecoins, which include ones offered by crypto firms Tether and Centre, broke $100 billion.</p>\n<p>But in recent weeks, lawmakers and officials from theFederal Reserveand the administration have expressed alarm both in public and private that some consumers won’t actually be protected should one of the firms not have the backing they purport to have.

Lipsky said stablecoin issuers could eventually work in tandem with international governments’ projects to issue their own digital currencies but that the U.S. and others will have to develop regulations to ensure consumers aren’t hurt.\n“The way it’s marketed is that you’re getting a dollar, but stablecoins are not always that stable,” Lipsky said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182485562,"gmtCreate":1623598843056,"gmtModify":1704206813719,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Soar","listText":"Soar","text":"Soar","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182485562","repostId":"1185020128","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185020128","pubTimestamp":1623537503,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185020128?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-13 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meme Stock Soars 1,000% To Lead These Two Top Small Cap Stock Plays","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185020128","media":"investors","summary":"GameStop may be the top holding in SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value, but that's not the only reason the ","content":"<p>GameStop may be the top holding in SPDR S&amp;P 600 Small Cap Value, but that's not the only reason the ETF is beating its growth-stock counterpart.</p>\n<p>The $4.2 billion value fund tracks the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Value Index (SLYV), composed of stocks with the strongest value traits based on book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio.

Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as <i>Cruella,</i> come to $138 million worldwide.</p>\n<p>The outperformance of <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch <i>Cruella</i> on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.</p>\n<p>Moreover, <i>F9: The Fast Saga</i>, another part of the successful <i>Fast and Furious</i> film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.</p>\n<p>With a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.</p>\n<h3>What this could mean for investors</h3>\n<p>That could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.</p>\n<p>On average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage. Add in the fact that AMC makes more in operating profit from viewers buying food and beverage than it does from ticket sales, and AMC could be generating positive cash flow from operations by the end of the second quarter. That is, of course, if there are no further disruptions from a resurgence of coronavirus cases.</p>\n<p>The increase in cash flow, combined with the $1.246 billion in equity capital it has raised in recent months, should go a long way toward shoring up AMC's balance sheet and giving the battered movie theater chain more time to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus pandemic. And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.</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>The Summer Movie Season Is Underway: Why That's Good News for AMC Stock</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\">\nThe Summer Movie Season Is Underway: Why That's Good News for AMC Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-12 22:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/12/the-summer-movie-season-is-underway-why-thats-good/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has experienced some violent price movements in the last several months -- its price recently came close to doubling in a single day.

The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.\nWith a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.\nWhat this could mean for investors\nThat could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.\nOn average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage. Add in the fact that AMC makes more in operating profit from viewers buying food and beverage than it does from ticket sales, and AMC could be generating positive cash flow from operations by the end of the second quarter. That is, of course, if there are no further disruptions from a resurgence of coronavirus cases.\nThe increase in cash flow, combined with the $1.246 billion in equity capital it has raised in recent months, should go a long way toward shoring up AMC's balance sheet and giving the battered movie theater chain more time to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus pandemic. And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":223,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129383801,"gmtCreate":1624359365303,"gmtModify":1703834303950,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy bro","listText":"Buy bro","text":"Buy bro","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/acf8195a5324ffb34612efdccb1dd5c6","width":"1080","height":"3158"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129383801","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167187493,"gmtCreate":1624252519212,"gmtModify":1703831648078,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"THIS STOCK IS GONNA REACH 10 BUCKS BY 2021 YOU BETTER HOP ON NOW OFF TO THE MOON","listText":"THIS STOCK IS GONNA REACH 10 BUCKS BY 2021 YOU BETTER HOP ON NOW OFF TO THE MOON","text":"THIS STOCK IS GONNA REACH 10 BUCKS BY 2021 YOU BETTER HOP ON NOW OFF TO THE MOON","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e25ddcc53f2d6d1c57f2a926ec0f7783","width":"1080","height":"3158"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167187493","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":162,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167357376,"gmtCreate":1624249091595,"gmtModify":1703831550595,"author":{"id":"3583115065771135","authorId":"3583115065771135","authorIdStr":"3583115065771135","name":"bigjosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc2bdb60764a0c5da0dca6883c483fb4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583115065771135"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okai","listText":"Okai","text":"Okai","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167357376","repostId":"1135860567","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1135860567","pubTimestamp":1624243350,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135860567?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21 10:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Troubled Companies Take Page From AMC Playbook in Seeking Stock-Market Lifelines","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135860567","media":"WSJ","summary":"The frenzied stock-buying activity that may have saved AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.from bankruptcy is opening up a potential escape hatch for other troubled borrowers as well.More companies with steep financial challenges are seeking a lifeline from equity markets, eager to capitalize on thesurge of interest in stock buyingfrom nonprofessional investors.
