But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium.

That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.</p>\n<p>The upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.</p>\n<p>In those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today. Something new has to be different for AMC to be worth it.</p>\n<p>Maybe the movie theater business is going to go through another period of consolidation, which can usher in another golden age of returns. AMC’s Tuesday gains, in fact, were catalyzed by new capital raised so the company could go on the offensive, acquiring defunct chains. Monopolies, after all, can be good for stock returns.</p>\n<p>If AMC can increase market share and the U.S. box office sales can return to 2018 levels in a few years, total sales at might be $9 billion—$6 billion from tickets and $3 billion from concessions. Sales in 2018 amounted to $5.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Then, with better gross profit margins derived from larger scale, AMC might be able to generate $600 million in free cash flow annually, which puts the stock at about a 4% free cash flow yield. The S&amp;P 500 trades for about a 3% free cash flow yield. The numbers can work—if they’re stretched.</p>\n<p>There are problems with this scenario, though. There are lots of ifs and mights—and AMC has never generated cash flow like that in the past. Arriving at $600 million in free cash flow is more about justifying current valuations than predicting what is likely.</p>\n<p>Also, with mergers and acquisitions, AMC market shares might rise, but there are still competitors. Regal Cinemas is still out there, owned by Cineworld Holdings (CINE. London). So is Cinemark (CNK). There’s not a true monopoly.</p>\n<p>AMC and its peers have to deal with streaming, too. Windows for exclusive theater showings are shrinking. The pandemic has accelerated that. And if AMC gets too large and demanding for movie makers, the talent can always go to streaming faster, hurting box office sales.</p>\n<p>There is also the problem of the peer stocks. They aren’t trading like this is a brave new world for theaters. Cineworld stock is up 484% from its 52-week low, but shares are still off 72% from all-time highs. Cinemark shares are up 222% from their 52-week low. They are down 47% from their all-time high.</p>\n<p>AMC stock, again, is up almost 1,600% from its 52-week low and is down just 13% from its May all-time high.</p>\n<p>Wall Street just doesn’t see the potential either. Nine analysts cover the stock. The average analyst price target is about $5. Before the pandemic, the average analyst price target was $15. But there were fewer shares back then. The old target enterprise value was roughly $7 billion. It’s tough to get from $7 billion to $26 billion predicting better margins.</p>\n<p>Analysts do have positive free cash flow modeled, though–$13 million in 2022 and $90 million in 2023.

As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.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.\"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.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.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.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.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.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel 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.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.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & 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.\"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.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.\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.Seaworthy Travel Stocks 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.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.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.\"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.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"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.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe 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.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.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.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"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.\"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.Work-Life RebalanceAs 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.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.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"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.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":281,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":134314973,"gmtCreate":1622207791692,"gmtModify":1704181470269,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment!!","listText":"Comment!!","text":"Comment!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/134314973","repostId":"1117074228","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135530562,"gmtCreate":1622168390456,"gmtModify":1704180761940,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just buy AMC!!","listText":"Just buy AMC!!","text":"Just buy AMC!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135530562","repostId":"1148985369","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132684618,"gmtCreate":1622085289034,"gmtModify":1704179178336,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh wow.

In other instances, it is impossible. When a company is unable to reduce its emissions, it can purchase a carbon credit as a way to offset the greenhouse gases its operations are releasing into the atmosphere.\n\n The (carbon credit) market is characterized by low liquidity, scarce financing, inadequate risk-management services, and limited data availability.McKinsey & Company\n\nThere is an urgent need for carbon credits as a viable, cost-effective solution for those companies to reduce emissions where their decarbonization strategy does not allow them to fully achieve their short-term commitments, Mikkel Larsen, chief sustainability officer at DBS, said Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.”\nLarsen is also interim CEO at Climate Impact X.\nWhat is a carbon credit?\nA carbon credit is generated by projects that help reduce, remove or avoid greenhouse emissions.The credits are validatedby a set of independent standards created by NGOs and carbon market participants.\n“Carbon credits are certificates representing quantities of greenhouse gases that have been kept out of the air or removed from it,” global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company said ina report this year.\n“While carbon credits have been in use for decades, the voluntary market for carbon credits has grown significantly in recent years,” McKinsey said, adding that it estimates that in 2020, buyers retired carbon credits for some 95 million tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent. When a credit is claimed, it is canceled in the registry — or retired — and can no longer be sold.\nThe voluntary carbon credit market is different from the mandatory ones, whereregulators set carbon emission targetsand allow companies to trade the surplus.\nGenerating revenue sources\nLarsen explained that when carbon credits are “done right,” they can generate revenue streams for conservation project developers working in areas such as reforestation.\n“I emphasize the point about being done right because one thing that plagued the market already has, of course, been this idea that they don’t live up to what they promise to,” he said. “I see these as absolute critical sources of income for the vast majority of project developers.”\nCIX will have two platforms catered to the needs of buyers and sellers: an exchange and a project marketplace.\nThe carbon exchange will facilitate the sale of large-scale, high-quality carbon credits, mostly to multinational corporations and institutional investors.\nThe project marketplace enables the purchase of high-quality carbon credits directly from specific projects. It allows a broader range of companies to participate in the voluntary carbon market by backing solutions to conserve, restore and protect natural ecosystems, in order to help them meet their sustainability goals.\nCIX will use satellite monitoring, machine learning and blockchain to promote transparency, integrity and quality of the carbon credits.\nMarket outlook\nHigh-quality carbon credits are currently scarce because accounting and verification methods tend to vary and the benefits are seldom well defined, according to McKinsey.\n“The market is characterized by low liquidity, scarce financing, inadequate risk-management services, and limited data availability,” the consulting firm said. “Today’s voluntary carbon market lacks the liquidity necessary for efficient trading, in part because carbon credits are highly heterogeneous.”\nMcKinsey cited a global private sector taskforce that estimated demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030, and the overall market could be worth upward of $50 billion.\nThere are already multiple carbon exchanges in operation, including the Carbon Trade Exchange in London and Sydney as well as the AirCarbon Exchange in Singapore.\nCIX is betting on the reputation and know-how of its backers as well as Singapore’s governance, regulation and infrastructure to inspire confidence among potential participants in the carbon credit market.\n“CIX is a promising solution to the problem we face today of fragmented carbon credit markets characterized by thin liquidity and credits of questionable quality,” Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority Singapore, said Thursday when the project was first announced.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":213,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130836616,"gmtCreate":1621522434735,"gmtModify":1704359082087,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130836616","repostId":"1105833464","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":370,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192644719,"gmtCreate":1621208810531,"gmtModify":1704353839592,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment!

Rather, the price does not align with thefundamentals of the asset.</b></i>\n <i>“</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>This definition is suitable for our discussion; there are three components of a&nbsp;<i>“bubble.”</i><i><b>The&nbsp;first two, price and valuation,</b></i>&nbsp;are readily dismissed during the inflation phase.&nbsp;Jeremy Grantham once produced the following chart of 40-years of price bubbles in the markets. During the inflation phase, each was readily dismissed under the guise&nbsp;<i>“this time is different.”</i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/367ada4ec5d5a7c35f8e670e0224fc6b\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"342\"></p>\n<p><b>We are interested in the</b><b><i>“third”</i></b><b>&nbsp;component of</b><b><i>“bubbles,”</i></b><b>&nbsp;which is investor psychology.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Bubble In Psychology</b></p>\n<p>As&nbsp;<i><b>Howard Marks previously noted:</b></i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“It’s the swings of psychology that get people into the biggest trouble. Especially since investors’ emotions invariably swing in the wrong direction at the wrong time.</i>\n <i><b>When things are going well people become greedy and enthusiastic. When times are troubled, people become fearful and reticent. That’s just the wrong thing to do. It’s important to control fear and greed.”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Currently, it’s difficult for investors to become any more enthusiastic about market returns.&nbsp;<i>(</i><i><b>The RIAPro Fear/Greed Index</b></i><i>&nbsp;compiles measures of equity allocation and market sentiment. The index level is</i><i><b>not a component</b></i><i>&nbsp;of the measure that runs from 0 to 100.</i><i><b>The current reading is 99.9, which is a historical record.)</b></i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/137bb4e88e92ca8b22df63ffc61e387c\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"334\"></p>\n<p>Such is an interesting juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is a rising recognition of a&nbsp;<i>“bubble,”</i>&nbsp;but investors are unwilling to reduce “equity risk” for&nbsp;<i>“fear of missing out or F.O.M.O.”</i>Such was a point noted explicitly by Mark:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“Rather than responding by taking some chips off the table, however, many began freely admitting a bubble formed.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;They no longer tried to justify higher prices on fundamentals. Rather,</i>\n <i><b>they justified it instead in terms of the market’s momentum.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Prices should keep going up as FOMO seduces more investors to jump on the bandwagon.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, investors have fully adopted the&nbsp;<i>“Greater Fool Theory.”</i></p>\n<p>Okay, Boomer!</p>\n<p>I know. The discussion of&nbsp;<i>“valuations”</i>&nbsp;is an old-fashioned idea relegated to investors of an older era. Such was evident in the pushback on Charlie Munger’s comments about Bitcoin recently:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“</i>\n <i><b>While Munger has never been a bitcoin advocate, his dislike crystalized into something close to hatred.</b></i>\n <i>Looking back over the past 52 weeks, the reason for Munger’s anger becomes apparent with Berkshire rising only 50.5% against bitcoin’s more than 500% gain.”&nbsp;– Coindesk</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In 1999, when Buffett spoke out against&nbsp;<i>“Dot.com”</i>&nbsp;stocks, he got dismissed with a similar ire of&nbsp;<b><i>“investing with Warren Buffett is like driving ‘Dad’s old Pontiac.'”</i></b></p>\n<p>Today, young investors are not interested in the&nbsp;<i>“pearls of wisdom”</i>&nbsp;from experienced investors. Today, they are&nbsp;<i>“out of touch,”</i>&nbsp;with the market’s<i>&nbsp;“new reality.”</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“The big benefit of TikTok is it allows users to dole out and obtain information in short, easily digestible video bites, also called TikToks.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;And that can make unfamiliar, complex topics, such as personal finance and investing, more palatable to a younger audience.That advice runs the gamut, from general information about home buying or retirement savings to specific stock picks and investment ideas.</i>\n <i><b>Rob Shields, a 22-year-old, self-taught options trader who has more than 163,000 followers on TikTok, posts TikToks under the username stock_genius on topics such as popular stocks to watch, how to find good stocks, and basic trading strategies.” –&nbsp;WSJ:</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Of course, the problem with information doled out by 22-year olds is they were 10-year olds during the last</b><i><b>“bear market.”</b></i>Given the lack of experience of investing during such a market, as opposed to Warren Buffett who has survived several, is the eventual destruction of capital.</p>\n<p><b>Plenty Of Analogies</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“There is no shortage of current analogies, of course. Take Dogecoin, created as a joke with no fundamental value.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;As a&nbsp;recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the Dogecoin ‘serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.’</i>\n <i><b>Yet investors flock to it, for no other apparent reason than its sharp rise.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Billy Markus, the co-creator of dogecoin, said to the Wall Street Journal, ‘This is absurd. I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s one of those things that once it starts going up, it might keep going up.’” – Mark Hulbert</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>That exuberance shows up with professionals as well.<b>&nbsp;As of the end of April, the National Association Of Investment Managers asset allocation was 103%.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c412f208aa700b3f7ccb35d3b7d4e923\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"328\"></p>\n<p>As Dana Lyons noted previously:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Regardless of the investment acumen of any group (we think it is very high among NAAIM members),</i>\n <i><b>once the collective investment opinion or posture becomes too one-sided, it can be an indication that some market action may be necessary to correct such consensus.</b></i>\n <i>“</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Give Me More</b></p>\n<p>Of course, margin debt, which is the epitome of “<i>speculative appetite,”</i>&nbsp;soared in recent months.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e11b088ecdf04d5036b4f5bb2d67c13d\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\"></p>\n<p>As stated,&nbsp;<i>“bubbles are about psychology,”</i>&nbsp;which the annual rate of change of leverage shows.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/422c963018723e8986826a89a32883e5\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\"></p>\n<p>Another form of leverage that doesn’t show up in margin debt is ETF’s structured to multiply market returns.

I</b>t does suggest that leverage, and speculative risk-taking, are likely much further advanced than currently recognized.</p>\n<p><b>Pushing Extremes</b></p>\n<p>Prices are ultimately affected by physics. Moving averages, trend lines, etc., all exert a gravitational pull on prices in both the short and long term.&nbsp;<b>Like a rubber band, when prices get stretched too far in one direction, they have always eventually</b><b><i>“reverted to the mean”</i></b><b>&nbsp;in the most brutal of manners.</b></p>\n<p>The chart below shows the long-term chart of the S&amp;P 500 broken down by several measures: 2 and 3-standard deviations, valuations, relative strength, and deviations from the 3-year moving average.&nbsp;<b>It is worth noting that both standard deviations and distance from the 3-year moving average are at a record.</b></p>\n<p><b>During the last 120-years, overvaluation and extreme deviations NEVER got resolved by markets going sideways.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4fc311c3fdd527fd911070f7dd841545\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"590\"></p>\n<p>The only missing ingredient for such a correction currently is simply a catalyst to put&nbsp;<i>“fear”</i>&nbsp;into an overly complacent marketplace. Anything from economic disruption, a credit-related crisis, or an unexpected exogenous shock could start the&nbsp;<i>“panic for the exits.”</i></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>There is more than adequate evidence a<i>&nbsp;“bubble”</i>&nbsp;exists in markets once again. However, as Mark noted in his commentary:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>‘I have no idea whether the stock market is actually forming a bubble that’s about to break.</i>\n <i><b>But I do know that many bulls are fooling themselves when they think a bubble can’t happen when there is such widespread concern.

To wit:\n“To appreciate how widespread current concern about a bubble is, consider the accompanying chart of data from Google Trends. It plots the relative frequency of Google searches based on the term ‘stock market bubble.’ Notice that this frequency has recently jumped to a far-higher level than at any other point over the last five years.”\nWhat Is A Bubble?\n\n“My confidence is rising quite rapidly that this is, in fact, becoming the fourth ‘real McCoy’ bubble of my investment career.\nThe great bubbles can go on a long time and inflict a lot of pain, but at least I think we know now that we’re in one.”\n –\nJeremy Grantham\n\nWhat is the definition of a bubble?  According to Investopedia:\n\n“A bubble is a market cycle that is characterized by the rapid escalation of market value, particularly in the price of assets.\nTypically, what creates a bubble is a surge in asset prices driven by exuberant market behavior.\n During a bubble, assets typically trade at a price\nthat greatly exceeds the asset’s intrinsic value. Rather, the price does not align with thefundamentals of the asset.\n“\n\nThis definition is suitable for our discussion; there are three components of a “bubble.”The first two, price and valuation, are readily dismissed during the inflation phase. Jeremy Grantham once produced the following chart of 40-years of price bubbles in the markets. During the inflation phase, each was readily dismissed under the guise “this time is different.”\n\nWe are interested in the“third” component of“bubbles,” which is investor psychology.\nA Bubble In Psychology\nAs Howard Marks previously noted:\n\n“It’s the swings of psychology that get people into the biggest trouble. Especially since investors’ emotions invariably swing in the wrong direction at the wrong time.\nWhen things are going well people become greedy and enthusiastic. When times are troubled, people become fearful and reticent. That’s just the wrong thing to do. It’s important to control fear and greed.”\n\nCurrently, it’s difficult for investors to become any more enthusiastic about market returns. (The RIAPro Fear/Greed Index compiles measures of equity allocation and market sentiment. The index level isnot a component of the measure that runs from 0 to 100.The current reading is 99.9, which is a historical record.)\n\nSuch is an interesting juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is a rising recognition of a “bubble,” but investors are unwilling to reduce “equity risk” for “fear of missing out or F.O.M.O.”Such was a point noted explicitly by Mark:\n\n“Rather than responding by taking some chips off the table, however, many began freely admitting a bubble formed.\n They no longer tried to justify higher prices on fundamentals. Rather,\nthey justified it instead in terms of the market’s momentum.\n Prices should keep going up as FOMO seduces more investors to jump on the bandwagon.”\n\nIn other words, investors have fully adopted the “Greater Fool Theory.”\nOkay, Boomer!\nI know. The discussion of “valuations” is an old-fashioned idea relegated to investors of an older era. Such was evident in the pushback on Charlie Munger’s comments about Bitcoin recently:\n\n“\nWhile Munger has never been a bitcoin advocate, his dislike crystalized into something close to hatred.\nLooking back over the past 52 weeks, the reason for Munger’s anger becomes apparent with Berkshire rising only 50.5% against bitcoin’s more than 500% gain.” – Coindesk\n\nIn 1999, when Buffett spoke out against “Dot.com” stocks, he got dismissed with a similar ire of “investing with Warren Buffett is like driving ‘Dad’s old Pontiac.'”\nToday, young investors are not interested in the “pearls of wisdom” from experienced investors. Today, they are “out of touch,” with the market’s “new reality.”\n\n“The big benefit of TikTok is it allows users to dole out and obtain information in short, easily digestible video bites, also called TikToks.\n And that can make unfamiliar, complex topics, such as personal finance and investing, more palatable to a younger audience.That advice runs the gamut, from general information about home buying or retirement savings to specific stock picks and investment ideas.\nRob Shields, a 22-year-old, self-taught options trader who has more than 163,000 followers on TikTok, posts TikToks under the username stock_genius on topics such as popular stocks to watch, how to find good stocks, and basic trading strategies.” – WSJ:\n\nOf course, the problem with information doled out by 22-year olds is they were 10-year olds during the last“bear market.”Given the lack of experience of investing during such a market, as opposed to Warren Buffett who has survived several, is the eventual destruction of capital.\nPlenty Of Analogies\n\n“There is no shortage of current analogies, of course. Take Dogecoin, created as a joke with no fundamental value.\n As a recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the Dogecoin ‘serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.’\nYet investors flock to it, for no other apparent reason than its sharp rise.\n Billy Markus, the co-creator of dogecoin, said to the Wall Street Journal, ‘This is absurd. I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s one of those things that once it starts going up, it might keep going up.’” – Mark Hulbert\n\nThat exuberance shows up with professionals as well. As of the end of April, the National Association Of Investment Managers asset allocation was 103%.\n\nAs Dana Lyons noted previously:\n\n “\n Regardless of the investment acumen of any group (we think it is very high among NAAIM members),\nonce the collective investment opinion or posture becomes too one-sided, it can be an indication that some market action may be necessary to correct such consensus.\n“\n\nGive Me More\nOf course, margin debt, which is the epitome of “speculative appetite,” soared in recent months.\n\nAs stated, “bubbles are about psychology,” which the annual rate of change of leverage shows.\n\nAnother form of leverage that doesn’t show up in margin debt is ETF’s structured to multiply market returns. These funds have seen record inflows in recent months.\n\nWith margin debt reaching levels not seen since the peak of the last cyclical bull market cycle, it should raise some concerns about sustainability. It is NOT the level of leverage that is the problem as leverage increases buying power as markets are rising. The unwinding of this leverage is critically dangerous in the market as the acceleration of“margin calls” leads to a vicious downward spiral.\nImportantly, this chart does not meanthat a massive market correction is imminent. It does suggest that leverage, and speculative risk-taking, are likely much further advanced than currently recognized.\nPushing Extremes\nPrices are ultimately affected by physics. Moving averages, trend lines, etc., all exert a gravitational pull on prices in both the short and long term. Like a rubber band, when prices get stretched too far in one direction, they have always eventually“reverted to the mean” in the most brutal of manners.\nThe chart below shows the long-term chart of the S&P 500 broken down by several measures: 2 and 3-standard deviations, valuations, relative strength, and deviations from the 3-year moving average. It is worth noting that both standard deviations and distance from the 3-year moving average are at a record.\nDuring the last 120-years, overvaluation and extreme deviations NEVER got resolved by markets going sideways.\n\nThe only missing ingredient for such a correction currently is simply a catalyst to put “fear” into an overly complacent marketplace. Anything from economic disruption, a credit-related crisis, or an unexpected exogenous shock could start the “panic for the exits.”\nConclusion\nThere is more than adequate evidence a “bubble” exists in markets once again. However, as Mark noted in his commentary:\n\n‘I have no idea whether the stock market is actually forming a bubble that’s about to break.\nBut I do know that many bulls are fooling themselves when they think a bubble can’t happen when there is such widespread concern. In fact, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a bubble is just that.”\n\nHowever, he concludes with the most important statement:\n\n“It’s important for all of us to be aware of this bubble psychology,\nbut especially if you’re a retiree or a near-retiree. That’s because, in that case, your investment horizon is far shorter than for those who are younger.\nTherefore, you are less able to recover from the deflation of a market bubble.”\n\nRead that statement again.\nMillennials are quick to dismiss the “Boomers” in the financial markets today for “not getting it.”\nNo, we get it. We have just been around long enough to know how these things eventually end.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190444876,"gmtCreate":1620648480795,"gmtModify":1704346068112,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment!","listText":"Comment!","text":"Comment!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/190444876","repostId":"1120120226","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1120120226","pubTimestamp":1620623863,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1120120226?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-10 13:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US government declares emergency after cyberattack on major pipeline","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1120120226","media":"AFP","summary":"The US government declared a regional emergency Sunday as the largest fuel pipeline system in the Un","content":"<p>The US government declared a regional emergency Sunday as the largest fuel pipeline system in the United States remained largely shut down, two days after a major ransomware attack was detected.</p><p>The Colonial Pipeline Company ships gasoline and jet fuel from the Gulf Coast of Texas to the populousEast Coastthrough 5,500 miles (8,850 kilometres) of pipeline, serving 50 million consumers.</p><p>The company said it was the victim of acybersecurity attackinvolving ransomware -- attacks that encrypt computer systems and seek to extract payments from operators.</p><p>\"This Declaration addresses the emergency conditions creating a need for immediate transportation of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refined petroleum products and provides necessary relief,\" the Department of Transportation said in a statement.</p><p>The emergency declaration allows for fuel to be transported by road to the affected states: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey,New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.</p><p>The declaration also provides regulatory relief to commercial motor vehicle operations that are part of the emergency support efforts.</p><p>Colonial said earlier Sunday that it had opened some smaller delivery lines, but the main system was not yet back up and running.</p><p>\"While our mainlines remain offline, some smaller lateral lines between terminals and delivery points are now operational,\" Colonial said in a statement, adding it would \"bring our full system back online only when we believe it is safe to do so.\"</p><p>\"We have remained in contact with law enforcement and other federal agencies, including the Department of Energy who is leading the Federal Government response,\" it added.</p><p>\"Maintaining the operational security of our pipeline, in addition to safely bringing our systems back online, remain our highest priorities.\"</p><p><b>Calls for improved oversight</b></p><p>Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told CBS on Sunday that authorities were working to prevent any disruption to supplies.</p><p>Colonial, based in the southern state of Georgia, is the largest pipeline operator in the United States by volume, normally transporting 2.5 million barrels of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other refined petroleum products per day.</p><p>The attack prompted calls from cybersecurity experts for improved oversight of the industry to prepare for future threats.</p><p>\"This attack is unusual for the US.

However, President Biden has never been a fan of marijuana and specifically outlined baby steps toward decriminalization and rescheduling during his campaign. While certain reforms are possible (e.g., banking reform), legalization at the federal level likely isn't on the table.</p><p>What is expected, though, is that we'll see additional states waving the green flag on marijuana. In November, wewitnessed a green sweep, with New Jersey, Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, and even deep-red state Mississippi, voting in favor of their respective cannabis ballot measures. Since then,New York, New Mexico, and Virginia have all signed adult-use initiatives into law, with varied implementation dates.</p><p><b>The big question is: Which states are next?</b></p><p>Had this question been posed a month ago, I'd have put the Sunshine State of Florida at or near the top of the list. It's no secret that legalization support groups have been focusing on Florida for the 2022 ballot. Unfortunately, the Florida Supreme Courtstruck down a proposed ballot initiativein a 5-2 vote on April 22 due to the phrasing that would be used on the ballot. This might kick the can(nabis) further down the road for one of the biggest moneymaker states for the pot industry.</p><p>In my opinion, the three states likeliest to legalize recreational weed next are as follows.</p><p><b>Connecticut</b></p><p>The only state left with areally good shot at legalizing adult-use cannabis in 2021is Connecticut. The Constitution State is in close proximity to a bunch of states that have already chosen to legalize recreational pot. In order to avoid losing tax revenue to these surrounding states, it only makes sense to advance a legalization bill.</p><p>Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat, has been advocating for legalization for months. The good news is that Lamont is working with a state legislature that's overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats. Surveys, such as Gallup's, have consistently shown that people identifying as Democrats have a considerably more favorable view of cannabis than those who identity as Republican.</p><p>One month ago, Connecticut's legislative Judiciary Committee approved Lamont's bill, albeit there is another bill also working its way through the legislative process. Lamont's bill would legalize recreational weed for those aged 21 and over, allow for the possession of up to 1.5 ounces of pot, and lets medical cannabis patients grow up to six plants for personal use.</p><p>If lawmakers can work out their differences, which primarily hinge around social equity factors included in the bill, Connecticut's legalization bill could be signed into law by or before July 2021. If not, it'll likely wind up on the 2022 ballot for the state's residents to decide.</p><p><b>Minnesota</b></p><p>Next on the list is the Gopher State, Minnesota.</p><p>Unlike Connecticut, which has one party controlling its state's legislature, friction between Democrats and Republicans in Minnesota's legislature likely means a 2022 ballot initiative is what'll lead to legalization.</p><p>The core bill being considered in the state is officially known asHF600. It was introduced at the beginning of February and aims to legalize recreational marijuana. It allows adults aged 21 and up to possess up to 1.5 ounces of flower, and would also expunge low-level criminal offenses involving cannabis. To date, HF600 has passed not one, not two, but<i>nine</i>separate committee votes in the state's legislature.</p><p>The next step for HF600 looks to be a vote in Minnesota's House, where Democrats hold a majority. However, virtually all progressive legislation is stymied by the Republican-led state Senate. History has shown that party-line votes are common in Minnesota, which makes it unlikely that we see the Gopher State's legislature green-light recreational weed in 2021.</p><p>Democrat Gov. Tim Waltz has made clear his support for legalizing cannabis. If the legislature doesn't do so, it's very likely that we'll see some form of ballot initiative brought in front of the people during the November 2022 midterms.</p><p><b>Hawaii</b></p><p>Lastly, the Aloha State looks to have a real shot at legalizing recreational marijuana -- but there is a catch.</p><p>Hawaii's legislature has been predominantly packed with Democrats for years. Since Democrats have a very favorable view of weed, they've, on multiple occasions, passed legislation designed to legalize adult-use marijuana and expunge low-level convictions.</p><p>So, why isn't it legal? Democrat Gov. David Ige is the answer.</p><p>In 2019, Ige vetoed two of three cannabis reform bills from his state's legislature -- he OK'd decriminalization for persons possessing up to three grams of flower -- and he's expressed serious concern about a pair of bills the state's legislature has been working on in 2021 concerning adult-use legalization and low-level expungement. Though Ige hasn't specifically said he'd veto cannabis legislation, the thinking is he will, especially given his previous vetoes and his views of cannabis as a Schedule I (i.e., illicit) substance at the federal level.</p><p>The solution? Wait out Ige. Governors in Hawaii are limited to two terms, and Ige's is up on Dec. 5, 2022. The election of a new governor in November 2022 that would support adult-use cannabis could clear a quick path to legalization shortly after the midterm elections.</p><p><b>U.S. multistate operators are going to shine</b></p><p>No matter what happens at the federal level, it's plainly evident that the U.S. is wheremarijuana stockinvestors are going to want to put their money to work over the next five to 10 years. If New Frontier Data is correct, annualized growth will average 21% through 2025, pushing sales of legal weed in the U.S. to north of $41 billion. That's a lot of green for U.S. multistate operators to gobble up.</p><p>For example,<b>Green Thumb Industries</b>(OTC:GTBIF)would be uncorking the champagne if Connecticut were to legalize recreational pot. Green Thumb acquired its way into Connecticut and should, with its brand-name appeal, be an instant winner in the Constitution State. Green Thumb has 56 operating dispensaries at the moment, butholds licenses to open as many as 97 storesin a dozen states.</p><p><b>Curaleaf</b>(OTC:CURLF)would be an expected beneficiary, too. Curaleafholds more than 130 retail licenses in the U.S.(including in Connecticut) and has been hell-bent on planting its proverbial flag in as many legalized markets as possible. With its well-known name and exceptionally popular brands in its back pocket (e.g., Select), Curaleaf likely wouldn't hesitate to acquire licenses in a market like Minnesota.</p><p>The point is this: As the green rush takes shape in the U.S., investors should be looking to put their money to work in high-quality multistate operators.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 States Likely to Legalize Marijuana Next</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 States Likely to Legalize Marijuana Next\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-10 11:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/09/3-states-likely-to-legalize-marijuana-next/><strong>fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Following years of debate, the green rush is fully under way in America.

He contended that without patent protections, entities with much less experienced than Pfizer at manufacturing vaccines will start competing for the same ingredients.“Right now, virtually every single gram of raw material produced is shipped immediately into our manufacturing facilities and is converted immediately and reliably to vaccines that are shipped immediately around the world,” Bourla wrote.He predicted that the proposed waiver “threatens to disrupt the flow of raw materials.”“It will unleash a scramble for the critical inputs we require in order to make a safe and effective vaccine,” Bourla wrote.“Entities with little or no experience in manufacturing vaccines are likely to chase the very raw materials we require to scale our production, putting the safety and security of all at risk,” the CEO wrote.The White House referred CNBC’s outreach on Bourla’s post to the Office of U.S. Trade Representative, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.World Trade Organization leaders have recently urged member nations to come to an agreement on the potential vaccine patent waivers. But even with the U.S. backing, a deal is hardly guaranteed, since the WTO’s rulings are based on consensus, requiring approval from all 164 members.Germany, a WTO member and the largest economy in Europe, came out against the waiver proposal on Thursday.BioNTech, which partnered with Pfizer in developing the vaccine, is based in Germany.Bourla on LinkedIn also expressed concern that the possible vaccine waivers “will disincentivize anyone else from taking a big risk.”“The recent rhetoric will not discourage us from continuing investing in science. But I am not sure if the same is true for the thousands of small biotech innovators that are totally dependent on accessing capital from investors who invest only on the premise that their intellectual property will be protected,” the CEO wrote.PhRMA, the pharmaceutical industry interest groups whosemember companies includePfizer andJohnson & Johnson, another U.S. vaccine provider, called the waiver proposal “an unprecedented step that will undermine our global response to the pandemic and compromise safety.”Meanwhile, CEO Stephane Bancel ofModerna, maker of the other U.S.-approved Covid shot, saidhe wasn’t concerned about the possible waivers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104315224,"gmtCreate":1620355404668,"gmtModify":1704342463666,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/104315224","repostId":"1159582956","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104316255,"gmtCreate":1620355240078,"gmtModify":1704342461203,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment!!

The stock is down 12% over the last month alone and investors are curious to see if the chipmaker’s upcoming earning report has enough positives to reinvigorate its share price. So, in this article, I want to discuss a few key items that should be on everyone’s radar when Nvidia announces its Q1 results. These items – segment performance and their management’s comments on their supply situation – are likely going to influence its share price over the coming days and weeks. Let's take a closer look at it all.</p>\n<p><b>Clarity on Supply Situation</b></p>\n<p>Let me start by saying that the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage still hasn’t eased, at least not materially, and it continues to disrupt supply chains across the globe. Nvidia and its key rival in the GPU space, AMD, have both been affected by these shortages as well. However, what we don’t know yet is if they’ve been impacted equally and how their market shares are set to evolve as a result of this supply-demand mismatch.</p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, Nvidia has tapped Samsung’s 8nm process node for its RTX30-series GPUS whereas its small rival, AMD, is using Taiwan Semiconductor’s 7nm node. Although both the aforementioned fabs – TSMC and Samsung -- have reported in the past that they’re unable to keep up with the breakneck customer demand, certain channel reports suggest that the supply shortfall at Samsung may be more severe than TSM of late.</p>\n<p>Per Samuel Wang&nbsp;of Gartner:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Overall, the 200mm shortage is dragging on much longer than expected... There has been no shortage in [TSMC’s] 7nm and 5nm since 3Q20. That’s when Apple advanced their use of wafers from 7nm to 5nm. There is a shortage at Samsung’s 8nm node, causing problems for Nvidia and Qualcomm\n</blockquote>\n<p>I think it's needless to say but if Nvidia’s supply crunch is more severe than AMD’s, then the former could variably lose market share to the latter. After all, OEMs and end-customers who’re in the market for just about any functional 7nm/8nm GPUs, would go for either brands based on stock availability. This dynamic can partially or wholly erode Nvidia’s recent market share gains against its smaller rival, AMD, and even limit Nvidia's revenue growth in its graphics segment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b74121ae017a3c217dc6c850aa69ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"527\"><span>(Source: Business Quant)</span></p>\n<p>Now there is the distinct possibility that Samsung prioritized Nvidia over its other customers, and provided Nvidia with unfettered access to supplies. However, a recent channel&nbsp;report&nbsp;(although unconfirmed) suggests that Samsung’s chip shortage is so dire that it’s affecting Samsung’s own smartphone roadmap, which goes against the popular narrative of Nvidia being prioritized. So, investors should closely listen to Nvidia management’s official comments around its supply situation on its upcoming earnings call. Specifically, look for comments that shed light on:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>whether its supply crunch remained sporadic or uniform throughout its Q1;</li>\n <li>how its volumes are/were affected, and;</li>\n <li>how soon are the supply constraints likely to ease going forward.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These items will reveal Nvidia’s operational positioning and provide us with clarity on what to expect from the chipmaker in the near future.</p>\n<p>Having said that, as far as my guesstimates are concerned, here’s what I think: The chipmaker released a slew of new offerings during the quarter, as we’ll see in the next section of this article. Its top brass wouldn’t have done so, if the supply crunch was extremely severe and posed the risk of a sequential unit sales decline. Nvidia and its fab partner, most likely, brought additional capacity online during the quarter to accommodate the sales of these new SKUs. So, I expect Nvidia’s volume sales, and consequently its revenue, to be up sequentially and year over year, in its Q1 results but we’ll just have to wait for the company’s official confirmation on the same.</p>\n<p><b>Segmented Impact</b></p>\n<p>Next, Nvidia has a range of dynamics at play that can variably impact its financials during Q1 and even in Q2 across its different end-markets. For starters, the company launched its RTX30-series cards several months ago but it continues to sell out due to extraordinary consumer demand. In fact, a popular tech-website published a buyer’s&nbsp;guide&nbsp;only yesterday explaining the various tips and tricks, to increase the odds of buying an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU. The company also launched a budget&nbsp;RTX 3060-GPU during the quarter but it, too, has largely remained out of stock.</p>\n<p>Unless the chipmaker saw a drop in production capacity and/or registered low production yields during Q1, this strong customer demand should ideally boost Nvidia’s average selling prices for RTX 30-series cards and catapult its gaming revenues higher on a sequential as well as on a year over year basis in Q1 and possibly even in Q2. Although the chipmaker also announced its laptop-focused 3050 and 3050Ti GPUs&nbsp;last week, their sales will be recognized in its Q2.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd8df25876cfe09c8476ab64fc8a22b2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"402\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com, company filings)</span></p>\n<p>Moving on, Nvidia’s data center segment may post muted results. The chipmaker had launched a&nbsp;new A100&nbsp;data center GPU, with double the memory of its predecessor, during Q4. This means Nvidia will be registering its first full quarter of sales from this new release this time around, which should drive its data center sales higher during Q1 at the very least.</p>\n<p>However, at the same time, the company’s rival in the data center space, Intel, registered a drop in its data center sales in its latest quarter. Its management downplayed the possibility of market share losses and explained that their data center sales were slow because cloud-focused customers were still digesting inventory during the quarter. There is the distinct possibility that Nvidia, too, faces this kind of cloud consumption hiccup in Q1 which could weigh on its data center sales. So, overall, I’m expecting its data center revenue to more or less remain flat sequentially.</p>\n<p>From Intel’s&nbsp;Q1 earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n In data center, we believe revenue bottomed in Q1 and will increase in Q2 as cloud digestion impacts begin to subside, and enterprise and government momentum continues… now customers are almost through the digestion of that and we are starting to see signs that they want to start the next build phase in their cloud.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Let’s now shift focus to Nvidia’s Professional Visualization segment. The chipmaker will be registering its first full quarter of&nbsp;A6000&nbsp;card sales this time around. The company also launched eight new mid-range workstation cards –A4000,A5000 and others– which are likely to drive its sales higher. So, for Q1, I expect the company’s sales in the professional visualization market to be up on a sequential basis.</p>\n<p>Altogether, as evident from the chart above, the three aforementioned revenue streams – gaming, data center and professional visualization – accounted for over 94% of Nvidia’s total sales last quarter. Based on my above-mentioned reasoning, my guesstimate is that the company as a whole will post sequentially higher revenue in Q1. This expectation seems to be in-line with the Street’s forecasts. A consensus of 30 analysts is projecting Nvidia’s revenue for the quarter to come in at&nbsp;$5.39 billion, which marks a sequential and a year-on-year growth of 7.8% and 79.7%, respectively.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Nvidia is surrounded by a few uncertainties which might make its shares volatile in the coming days and weeks. So, investors may want to keep a close eye on its segmented financials and its management’s comments around their supply situation, to get a firm understanding of its state of operations and gain clarity about its near-term prospects. As far as I’m concerned, I’m neutral on the stock as we head into its Q1 results.

On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.</p>\n<p>And the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now,&nbsp;and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show <i>Bosch</i> and the Academy Award-winning movie <i>Sound of Metal. </i>Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.</p>\n<p>Such a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54605113ad52cfe9e42ad5106f04a176\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity</h2>\n<p>Although there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the <i>Rocky</i> series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>Fargo</i> series are part of the MGM family.</p>\n<p>The company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.</p>\n<h2>2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime</h2>\n<p>While most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated <i>Manchester by the Sea</i>, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick <i>Late Night</i> is in movie theaters now.</p>\n<p>By and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.</p>\n<p>MGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.</p>\n<h2>3. Amazon offers more focused leadership</h2>\n<p>Unlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.</p>\n<p>To date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems.

On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.\nAnd the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now, and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show Bosch and the Academy Award-winning movie Sound of Metal. Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.\nSuch a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity\nAlthough there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the Rocky series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, The Handmaid's Tale and Fargo series are part of the MGM family.\nThe company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.\n2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime\nWhile most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated Manchester by the Sea, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick Late Night is in movie theaters now.\nBy and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.\nMGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.\n3. Amazon offers more focused leadership\nUnlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.\nTo date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems. But, clearly, the studios' owners have other business interests. They also have little individual incentive to develop the film-making outfit into a more fruitful company.\nSimply put, the studio may not be all it could be.\nAmazon's ownership wouldn't pose this potential risk of disinterest. Indeed, a wholly owned MGM would operate under more focused leadership, and Amazon would have every incentive to maximize the studio's potential that it isn't doing right now.\n4. An acquisition prevents anyone else from owning MGM\nFinally, if nothing else, acquiring MGM now prevents any other potential suitor from scooping it up and taking control of its brand name, distribution channels, and intellectual property. This may be the most important reason of all for Amazon to make such a move, even if it's also the least evident one.\nThere's a land grab underway within the media and entertainment business. Just a few months before Viacom and CBS merged to form ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) (NASDAQ:VIAC.A) in late 2019, Viacom itself acquired free streaming platform Pluto TV. Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) went shopping in 2019 as well, picking up a slew of 21st Century Fox-branded assets. Separately, back in early 2020 Fox Corp. (NASDAQ:FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) bought independently owned ad-supported streaming outfit Tubi. And just a few days ago AT&T (NYSE:T) announced it would be selling its WarnerMedia arm to television content company Discovery (NASDAQ:DISCA) (NASDAQ:DISCK).\nRead between the lines. If Amazon doesn't step into MGM Studios here,  it's likely a competitor will, and then use the brand to compete head-to-head with Amazon's video entertainment interests.\nThe last word\nJust because Amazon arguably should acquire MGM for the intimated price of $9 billion, of course, doesn't mean that it will.

He contended that without patent protections, entities with much less experienced than Pfizer at manufacturing vaccines will start competing for the same ingredients.“Right now, virtually every single gram of raw material produced is shipped immediately into our manufacturing facilities and is converted immediately and reliably to vaccines that are shipped immediately around the world,” Bourla wrote.He predicted that the proposed waiver “threatens to disrupt the flow of raw materials.”“It will unleash a scramble for the critical inputs we require in order to make a safe and effective vaccine,” Bourla wrote.“Entities with little or no experience in manufacturing vaccines are likely to chase the very raw materials we require to scale our production, putting the safety and security of all at risk,” the CEO wrote.The White House referred CNBC’s outreach on Bourla’s post to the Office of U.S. Trade Representative, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.World Trade Organization leaders have recently urged member nations to come to an agreement on the potential vaccine patent waivers. But even with the U.S. backing, a deal is hardly guaranteed, since the WTO’s rulings are based on consensus, requiring approval from all 164 members.Germany, a WTO member and the largest economy in Europe, came out against the waiver proposal on Thursday.BioNTech, which partnered with Pfizer in developing the vaccine, is based in Germany.Bourla on LinkedIn also expressed concern that the possible vaccine waivers “will disincentivize anyone else from taking a big risk.”“The recent rhetoric will not discourage us from continuing investing in science. But I am not sure if the same is true for the thousands of small biotech innovators that are totally dependent on accessing capital from investors who invest only on the premise that their intellectual property will be protected,” the CEO wrote.PhRMA, the pharmaceutical industry interest groups whosemember companies includePfizer andJohnson & Johnson, another U.S. vaccine provider, called the waiver proposal “an unprecedented step that will undermine our global response to the pandemic and compromise safety.”Meanwhile, CEO Stephane Bancel ofModerna, maker of the other U.S.-approved Covid shot, saidhe wasn’t concerned about the possible waivers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135530562,"gmtCreate":1622168390456,"gmtModify":1704180761940,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just buy AMC!!","listText":"Just buy AMC!!","text":"Just buy AMC!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135530562","repostId":"1148985369","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139390865,"gmtCreate":1621589282757,"gmtModify":1704360155865,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139390865","repostId":"1177779301","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":213,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193980432,"gmtCreate":1620744836226,"gmtModify":1704347791172,"author":{"id":"3583267977387338","authorId":"3583267977387338","authorIdStr":"3583267977387338","name":"BeerBelly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e051e6c8efb871ab690db298174469f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583267977387338"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like!","listText":"Like!","text":"Like!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/193980432","repostId":"1199341916","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199341916","pubTimestamp":1620736561,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199341916?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-11 20:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"If Everyone Sees It, Is It Still A Bubble?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199341916","media":"zerohedge","summary":"As Mark Hulbert noted recently, “everyone” is worrying about a “bubble” in the stock market.

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.

How to Make Sense of the Move.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188552613","media":"Barrons","summary":"AMC Entertainment‘s skyrocketing stock price would be easy to dismiss as just meme-trade madness, th","content":"<p>AMC Entertainment‘s skyrocketing stock price would be easy to dismiss as just meme-trade madness, that social media-fueled investor frenzy that has launched the likes of&nbsp;GameStop&nbsp;and&nbsp;BlackBerry&nbsp;into speculative territory.</p>\n<p>But it’s possible that traditional investors have missed a fundamental change in the movie theater business—and it wouldn’t be the first time.</p>\n<p>Shares of AMC (ticker: AMC) surged 23% on Tuesday, closing at $32.04—just off an all-time high of $36.72 set in late May. That puts the movie-theater chain’s market capitalization at roughly $16 billion, more than 15 times what it was in 2018, a record-breaking year at the box office.&nbsp;Shares were up another 34%, to $42.92, in premarket trading Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Even if investors missed an inflection point, though, the math doesn’t add up. The reason might be that market cap isn’t the right measure. Maybe it’s enterprise value, which is essentially market cap and debt. AMC’s enterprise value is about $26 billion, compared with $6.2 billion or so at the end of 2018.</p>\n<p>AMC added debt during the pandemic as theaters in the country’s biggest cities were dark for months. And the numbers make it easy to understand why: The U.S. box office in 2020 generated about $2.1 billion in ticket sales, down 81% from the 2018 record of $11.9 billion.</p>\n<p>So, it seems investors have been vexed by movie theater economics. But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium. Regal Cinemas, for instance, declared bankruptcy in 2001.</p>\n<p>Back then, the industry had plenty of capacity because of a new theater design—stadium seating that gave a better view of the screen. That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.</p>\n<p>The upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.</p>\n<p>In those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today.

That puts the movie-theater chain’s market capitalization at roughly $16 billion, more than 15 times what it was in 2018, a record-breaking year at the box office. Shares were up another 34%, to $42.92, in premarket trading Wednesday.\nEven if investors missed an inflection point, though, the math doesn’t add up. The reason might be that market cap isn’t the right measure. Maybe it’s enterprise value, which is essentially market cap and debt. AMC’s enterprise value is about $26 billion, compared with $6.2 billion or so at the end of 2018.\nAMC added debt during the pandemic as theaters in the country’s biggest cities were dark for months. And the numbers make it easy to understand why: The U.S. box office in 2020 generated about $2.1 billion in ticket sales, down 81% from the 2018 record of $11.9 billion.\nSo, it seems investors have been vexed by movie theater economics. But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium. Regal Cinemas, for instance, declared bankruptcy in 2001.\nBack then, the industry had plenty of capacity because of a new theater design—stadium seating that gave a better view of the screen. That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.\nThe upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.\nIn those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today. Something new has to be different for AMC to be worth it.\nMaybe the movie theater business is going to go through another period of consolidation, which can usher in another golden age of returns. AMC’s Tuesday gains, in fact, were catalyzed by new capital raised so the company could go on the offensive, acquiring defunct chains. Monopolies, after all, can be good for stock returns.\nIf AMC can increase market share and the U.S. box office sales can return to 2018 levels in a few years, total sales at might be $9 billion—$6 billion from tickets and $3 billion from concessions. Sales in 2018 amounted to $5.5 billion.\nThen, with better gross profit margins derived from larger scale, AMC might be able to generate $600 million in free cash flow annually, which puts the stock at about a 4% free cash flow yield. The S&P 500 trades for about a 3% free cash flow yield. The numbers can work—if they’re stretched.\nThere are problems with this scenario, though. There are lots of ifs and mights—and AMC has never generated cash flow like that in the past. Arriving at $600 million in free cash flow is more about justifying current valuations than predicting what is likely.\nAlso, with mergers and acquisitions, AMC market shares might rise, but there are still competitors. Regal Cinemas is still out there, owned by Cineworld Holdings (CINE. London). So is Cinemark (CNK). There’s not a true monopoly.\nAMC and its peers have to deal with streaming, too. Windows for exclusive theater showings are shrinking. The pandemic has accelerated that. And if AMC gets too large and demanding for movie makers, the talent can always go to streaming faster, hurting box office sales.\nThere is also the problem of the peer stocks. They aren’t trading like this is a brave new world for theaters. Cineworld stock is up 484% from its 52-week low, but shares are still off 72% from all-time highs. Cinemark shares are up 222% from their 52-week low. They are down 47% from their all-time high.\nAMC stock, again, is up almost 1,600% from its 52-week low and is down just 13% from its May all-time high.\nWall Street just doesn’t see the potential either.
