While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure.

We may earn a commission if you buy products through our links, but our recommendations are independent of any compensation that we may receive.</p>\n<p>It's been a hot year for cryptocurrencies, and 2021 isn't even halfway over. The total value of cryptocurrencies briefly surpassed $2.5 trillion in May as a plethora of new investors jumped in, and now approximately 14% of American adults own cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that are exchanged online on exchanges like Coinbase . Cryptocurrencies are hardly new. Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was created in 2009 and has been followed by more than 7,700 others. You may have also heard of ethereum, tether, or even dogecoin, which began as a joke and now sits among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p>While some people are investing purely to speculate, others look at cryptos as a way to store value or hedge against inflation. Here's how to invest in crypto now, whether you should get into it, and what to know before you do.</p>\n<p><b>How to invest in cryptocurrencies</b></p>\n<p>While investing in cryptocurrencies has gone mainstream, it's not an option at many traditional online brokers -- yet. Here are a few brokers that allow you to directly hold cryptocurrencies alongside other assets like stocks and bonds, but fees vary and it's key to do your homework:</p>\n<p>TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and Charles Schwab offer bitcoin futures trading.</p>\n<p>If your broker doesn't offer cryptocurrencies, you might consider signing up for an account with a crypto exchange, such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the following:</p>\n<p><b>Prepare for risk and volatility</b></p>\n<p>Not all cryptocurrencies are created alike, and each token has unique characteristics that help dictate its price swings. That's why it's important to learn as much as possible about a specific token before investing, including why it was created (what problem it's trying to solve) and by whom (the governance structure), recommends Chris Kupier, vice president of equity research at CFRA Research.</p>\n<p>\"The more you understand it, the more you're going to approach investing in the 'right' way,\" Kupier says. For example, he likens bitcoin to \"gold 2.0\" because the digital coin has a finite supply and is seen by some as a way to store value and hedge against inflation -- characteristics that don't apply to ethereum, for example. (Note that this bitcoin-is-the-new-gold take is certainly not shared by everyone, as this MarketWatch .</p>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies fall under the umbrella of alternative assets (like commodities or real estate) because they offer a way to diversify your portfolio and have a low correlation to other assets, like stocks and bonds, Kupier notes. But cryptocurrencies are volatile, and because trading occurs 24/7, 365 days a year, that allows traders to react immediately to news -- or even tweets . Indeed, this year, tweets from Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, caused crypto prices to both jump and slump.</p>\n<p>\"Look, this is the Wild West, so you have to be ready for it,\" Kupier says.

If you owned the stock coming into 2021, it was a lot of fun watching the per-share price go from about $17 to the current $212.</p>\n<p>But you shouldn't get lulled into buying the hype surrounding this meme stock. The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.</p>\n<h2>Trying to transition</h2>\n<p>GameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.</p>\n<p>While the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam, <b> Microsoft</b>, and <b> Sony</b>.</p>\n<p>A major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company <b>Chewy</b>, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for <b>Amazon</b>.</p>\n<p>Clearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?</p>\n<h2>Don't get fooled</h2>\n<p>It's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-time purchase.</p>\n<p>The company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems.

If you owned the stock coming into 2021, it was a lot of fun watching the per-share price go from about $17 to the current $212.\nBut you shouldn't get lulled into buying the hype surrounding this meme stock. The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.\nTrying to transition\nGameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.\nWhile the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam,  Microsoft, and  Sony.\nA major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company Chewy, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for Amazon.\nClearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?\nDon't get fooled\nIt's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.\nIt is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a one-time purchase.\nThe company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems. This suggests that GameStop's hope for a multi-year bounce from the new systems is already facing hurdles.\nDetails lacking\nWhile the new management team has online e-commerce experience, details on a plan forward remain lacking. Undoubtedly, that is coming as the executives meet and figure out where they want to go. However, with stiff online competition, it is tough to invest in the company without knowing how it will turn itself around and get sales back to sustained profitability.\nThat's why you should leave GameStop's shares on the shelf.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":163658388,"gmtCreate":1623884252044,"gmtModify":1703822237996,"author":{"id":"3584335208822998","authorId":"3584335208822998","name":"Zp129","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584335208822998","authorIdStr":"3584335208822998"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>gogogo!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$GameStop(GME)$</a>gogogo!","text":"$GameStop(GME)$gogogo!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/163658388","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":230,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":187678991,"gmtCreate":1623753777813,"gmtModify":1704210571967,"author":{"id":"3584335208822998","authorId":"3584335208822998","name":"Zp129","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584335208822998","authorIdStr":"3584335208822998"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/187678991","repostId":"2143735752","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143735752","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1623750480,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143735752?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 17:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What you need to know to start investing in cryptocurrency right now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143735752","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"From Robinhood to SoFi Invest, Coinbase to Gemini to eToro, here are some of the ways to invest in c","content":"<p>From Robinhood to SoFi Invest, Coinbase to Gemini to eToro, here are some of the ways to invest in crypto -- and advice on whether you should dive in.</p>\n<p>MarketWatch has highlighted these products and services because we think readers will find them useful.

That's why it's important to learn as much as possible about a specific token before investing, including why it was created (what problem it's trying to solve) and by whom (the governance structure), recommends Chris Kupier, vice president of equity research at CFRA Research.\n\"The more you understand it, the more you're going to approach investing in the 'right' way,\" Kupier says. For example, he likens bitcoin to \"gold 2.0\" because the digital coin has a finite supply and is seen by some as a way to store value and hedge against inflation -- characteristics that don't apply to ethereum, for example. (Note that this bitcoin-is-the-new-gold take is certainly not shared by everyone, as this MarketWatch .\nCryptocurrencies fall under the umbrella of alternative assets (like commodities or real estate) because they offer a way to diversify your portfolio and have a low correlation to other assets, like stocks and bonds, Kupier notes. But cryptocurrencies are volatile, and because trading occurs 24/7, 365 days a year, that allows traders to react immediately to news -- or even tweets . Indeed, this year, tweets from Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, caused crypto prices to both jump and slump.\n\"Look, this is the Wild West, so you have to be ready for it,\" Kupier says. While bitcoin has experienced average annualized returns in excess of 200%, that's come with huge price slumps, he adds. \"You need to embrace the volatility if you want those gains.\"\nIf you are ready to invest in crypto, here are a few of your options: Coinbase .\nConsider risk-reward dynamics\nInvesting in crypto is not for everyone. Those who do dive in should remember this: Given the extreme volatility, moderation is key, notes Matt Schwartz, senior advisor and a certified financial planner with Great Waters Financial. Just as you shouldn't invest all of your money in one asset -- like a stock or bond -- cryptocurrencies should have a limited impact on the risk-reward dynamics of your overall portfolio, he adds.\n\"If you have 2%-5% of your portfolio allocated to any asset class, that isn't going to move the needle on your overall portfolio that much,\" Schwartz says, adding that the exact allocation is unique to each investor. \"It's important to think about your own situation and how it may or may not help you accomplish your goals.\"\nSome investing pros say that if you do want to dive into crypto, a smart way to do it may be through dollar-cost averaging, which simply means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals. And be sure to consult an accountant about the tax implications of trading (it can get pricey).\nFinally, be mindful of how investment decisions affect you. \"Don't take on so much risk that you can't sleep at night,\" Kupier says. \"But the opposite is true: If you're constantly watching bitcoin because you have 0% invested and you're watching it go up, you probably need to buy a little of it for peace of mind.\"\nIf you are ready to invest in crypto, here are a few of your options: Coinbase .\nAbout the author: Anna-Louise Jackson is a financial journalist with more than a decade of writing and editing experience.
