But when Fridson looked at how the energy component fared over that stretch, it outperformed the ICE BofA US High Yield Index, returning 3.88% compared to negative 3.32%.\nThen, in the more protracted recovery phase, oil went from $70.61 on Sept. 30, 2009, to $96.07 on Feb. 28, 2011, while energy underperformed the index, 23.57% to 26.38%.\nAmundi's Feltus also pointed out that companies \"got religion for like six to 12 months of discipline,\" after each recent oil bust. \"This time breaks the record. But we can't let up the pressure.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":234,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":188798031,"gmtCreate":1623461183123,"gmtModify":1704204197991,"author":{"id":"3585739376669872","authorId":"3585739376669872","name":"Umikun","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c0e0d9dce1242d5f276cebf681c7507","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585739376669872","authorIdStr":"3585739376669872"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great read","listText":"Great read","text":"Great read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/188798031","repostId":"2142858202","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142858202","kind":"highlight","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":1623453060,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142858202?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-12 07:11","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Don't be fooled by some of the hawkish sounds coming out of the Fed next week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142858202","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Fed will remain dovish, economists say.\n\nThere are sixteen different types of hawks found in the Uni","content":"<blockquote>\n Fed will remain dovish, economists say.\n</blockquote>\n<p>There are sixteen different types of hawks found in the United States, according to birdwatchingh.com .

The agency's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program will distribute $17 billion in an effort to support new research and manufacturing efforts in the United States.\nRare earth minerals:The Department of Interior will lead a task force to identify sites wherecritical minerals could be producedand processed in the United States.\" The report said the U.S. will develop the capacity for \"sustainable production, refining, and recycling\" of the 17 rare earth metals used in cell phones, cars and magnets, while meeting high environmental standards.\nSemiconductors:As the nation grapples witha semiconductor shortage that has idled major auto manufacturing plants, the White House said it will work with the private sector to increase supply chain transparency.\nAdvanced pharmaceutical ingredients:The Department of Health and Human Services will use authority granted under the Defense Production Act to commit approximately $60 million to \"develop novel platform technologies to increase domestic manufacturing capacity for API.\"\n\nIn addition to these steps, designed to boost supplies of specific products, the administration also announced several broader initiatives.\nTo help train the workers that will be needed to staff these new projects, the White House will announce $100 million in additional grants to support state-led apprenticeship expansion efforts. The grants will be administered by the Department of Labor.\nThe Department of Energy will announce a new policy that requires awardees of DOE research and development grants to \"substantially manufacture those products in the United States.\"\nAlong with these efforts to bolster domestic supply chains, the Biden administration will also announce new steps to combat \"unfair foreign trade practices,\" which it says have contributed to the erosion of supply chains around the world.\nOne of these will be the creation of a \"trade strike force\" led by the U.S. Trade Representative's office. The strike force will aim to identify \"unilateral and multilateral\" enforcement actions the United States can take to punish countries that it believes are engaging in unfair trade practices. According to a senior administration official, the strike force will focus on developing U.S.-China trade policies.\nThe other enforcement-related action will be an evaluation, led by the Department of Commerce, of whether to initiate an investigation into neodymium magnets under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act.\nThe rare earth magnets are used in motors and electronics by both civilians and the military. If the investigation were to conclude that U.S. national security is threatened by foreign supplies of neodymium, it could open the door to import restrictions or tariffs.\nBiden's predecessor, Donald Trump, invoked Section 232 twice during his one term as president, citing it as his justification for imposing broad steel and aluminum tariffs. Those tariffs are still in place, and Biden has not said whether he will lift them or not.\nA senior administration official who briefed reporters emphasized that Biden's trade policy actions are fundamentally different from Trump's trade wars, because they are carefully targeted.\n\"We're not looking to wage trade wars with our allies and partners,\" said the official. \"We're looking at very targeted products where we think there are effective tools we could deploy to strengthen our own supply chains and reduce vulnerabilities.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":180980311,"gmtCreate":1623168644933,"gmtModify":1704197650322,"author":{"id":"3585739376669872","authorId":"3585739376669872","name":"Umikun","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c0e0d9dce1242d5f276cebf681c7507","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585739376669872","authorIdStr":"3585739376669872"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great news","listText":"Great news","text":"Great news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/180980311","repostId":"1136550999","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":476,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111395079,"gmtCreate":1622651619591,"gmtModify":1704188228011,"author":{"id":"3585739376669872","authorId":"3585739376669872","name":"Umikun","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c0e0d9dce1242d5f276cebf681c7507","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585739376669872","authorIdStr":"3585739376669872"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That’s is great news!","listText":"That’s is great news!","text":"That’s is great news!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111395079","repostId":"1188552613","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188552613","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622627641,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188552613?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 17:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Stock Is Surging Again.

Such names look and feel like they offer you more bang for your investment buck as long as you can jump in while prices are low. All too often we learn these names are cheap for a reason, and end up staying cheap due to a lack of performance.</p>\n<p>With this as the backdrop, here's look at three low-cost stocks that aren't at risk of falling into that trap. That is, they're priced at relatively low valuations, but these valuations don't fully or fairly indicate the likely growth that lies ahead for the underlying organizations. You just have to look more than a year down the road to see it.</p>\n<h2>Ford Motor</h2>\n<p>Granted, <b>Ford Motor </b>(NYSE:F) was much more of a bargain just a few days ago, before it jumped 16% on updated electric vehicle plans. The company now anticipates that by 2030, 40% of its global unit sales will be electric cars and trucks. Even so, priced at just nine times next year's expected earnings, Ford shares have lots of room to keep running.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628737%2Fsale.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's curious. Those investors keeping tabs on the carmaker probably remember when then-Ford chief executive Jim Hackett boldly (and quite publicly) jumped into EV waters back in 2017, earmarking $11 billion worth of electric vehicle capital in 2018, to be deployed by 2022. Just last week current CEO Jim Farley recently ramped-up Ford's EV development budget to $30 billion. It's exciting stuff to be sure, but not terribly surprising -- the venture was always going to require more money.</p>\n<p>What's arguably changed is investors' <i>receptiveness</i> to the idea that any car manufacturer besides <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA) could be a serious electric vehicle contender. Ford's all-electric Mustang Mach-E started this psychological shift, selling 6,614 units in the United States during the first quarter of the year, which -- notably -- stole market share from Tesla. The company also reports 70,000 purchase reservations for the new, all-electric F150 pickup truck unveiled just last week, underscoring the idea that Ford's becoming a force within the electric vehicle market.</p>\n<p>And well it should. Deloitte estimates global unit sales of electric vehicles will grow at an annual pace of 29% over the course of the coming 10 years, reaching a yearly pace of 31.1 million automobiles by 2030. The world's going to need more than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> manufacturer to make that happen.</p>\n<h2>Goldman Sachs</h2>\n<p>The <b>Goldman Sachs</b> (NYSE:GS) name may not turn heads the way it used to. But, this Wall Street icon is still a stock worth owning, which you can for little more than a song.</p>\n<p>Goldman does a little of everything, from investment banking to asset management to brokerage, and more. It's even moving into the consumer/retail banking world under the moniker Marcus. No single arm accounts for more than 26% of its top line (that's asset management), and while all of its business lines are ultimately tethered to the economy, managing five different arms curbs a great deal of the earnings volatility its competitors may face. The trade-off of this much revenue diversification is a cap on growth potential. One or two units might perform well in any given quarter, but it's rare for all five to thrive simultaneously.</p>\n<p>It's worth it though, particularly right now.</p>\n<p>With an end to the pandemic in sight in some countries and the global economy on a surprisingly good footing at it happens, Goldman is ready for whatever the rebound throws at it. Take investment banking as an example. Despite the disruption created by the COVID-19 contagion, the company says its investment banking backlog now stands at record-breaking levels. Making that detail even more incredible is that mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity is expected to swell in the foreseeable future, building on the M&amp;A rebound that started to take shape in the latter half of last year. For perspective, a recent survey of corporate officers performed by Bain &amp; Co. suggests mergers and acquisitions will drive 45% of corporate revenue growth in the foreseeable future, up from an average of 30% for the past three years.</p>\n<p>Newcomers can plug into Goldman's prospective piece of this growth at a very affordable forward-looking price-to-earnings ratio of 10.4.</p>\n<h2>The Boeing Company</h2>\n<p>Finally, add<b> Boeing</b> (NYSE:BA) to your list of bargain stocks to think about buying today.</p>\n<p>Yes, Boeing is the company that botched the design of its highly touted 737 MAX passenger jets. This is also the same Boeing that's seen demand for planes dry up since COVID-19 took hold, restricting air travel as a result; airlines aren't interested in purchasing new aircraft until they're sure they're going to need them. This is even the same Boeing that's now $62 billion in debt, more than $40 billion of which has been added just within the past year.&nbsp; A stock's only a bargain if it's got a legitimate shot at rising, and priced at 47 times next year's projected profits, and given how much of its future earnings will be needed just to make interest payments, Boeing is pushing the limits of what could be considered a \"bargain.\"</p>\n<p>Look <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, two, and even three years down the road, though. Largely lost in the recent noise is that Boeing <i>is</i> in the process of digging its way out of this hole.</p>\n<p>As for the 737 MAX, customers are finally committing to the now-fixed jet again. <b>Southwest Airlines</b> (NYSE:LUV) recently ordered 100 of the newest iteration of the passenger jet, though CEO Gary Kelly recently explained that the addition of Southwest routes could spur the need for as many as 500 new passenger jets. SMBC Aviation, <b>Alaska Air Group</b>, Dubai Aerospace, and <b>United Airlines</b> also account for just some of the 307 orders for the 737 MAX already placed just this year. It's an encouraging indication of confidence in Boeing's fix for the once-beleaguered plane.</p>\n<p>This demand is also a vote of confidence in air travel's rebound, as is the fact that Boeing is still sitting on a total of nearly 5,000 unfilled plane orders. To this end, although the International Air Transport Association (IATA) acknowledges it could take until 2023 and even 2024 for air travel to bounce back from the 52% of pre-COVID traffic we're seeing now, the IATA foresees a recovery to 88% of pre-COVID traffic taking shape next year. Airlines, however, can't wait until that many customers are ready to fly again to start procuring planes.</p>\n<p>Boeing shares are well up from last March's lows. With shares trading for 30% lower than 2019's typical price though, investors continue to underestimate the scope and speed of the company's recovery. In more normal years like 2017 or 2018, this aircraft maker can earn on the order of $10 billion, giving the company plenty of means to work on its debt and still reinvest in future growth.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Bargain Stocks You Can Buy Today</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Bargain Stocks You Can Buy Today\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-02 22:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/3-bargain-stocks-you-can-buy-today/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Has a seemingly cheap stock caught your eye?

Such names look and feel like they offer you more bang for your investment buck as long as you can jump in while prices are low. All too often we learn these names are cheap for a reason, and end up staying cheap due to a lack of performance.\nWith this as the backdrop, here's look at three low-cost stocks that aren't at risk of falling into that trap. That is, they're priced at relatively low valuations, but these valuations don't fully or fairly indicate the likely growth that lies ahead for the underlying organizations. You just have to look more than a year down the road to see it.\nFord Motor\nGranted, Ford Motor (NYSE:F) was much more of a bargain just a few days ago, before it jumped 16% on updated electric vehicle plans. The company now anticipates that by 2030, 40% of its global unit sales will be electric cars and trucks. Even so, priced at just nine times next year's expected earnings, Ford shares have lots of room to keep running.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nIt's curious. Those investors keeping tabs on the carmaker probably remember when then-Ford chief executive Jim Hackett boldly (and quite publicly) jumped into EV waters back in 2017, earmarking $11 billion worth of electric vehicle capital in 2018, to be deployed by 2022. Just last week current CEO Jim Farley recently ramped-up Ford's EV development budget to $30 billion. It's exciting stuff to be sure, but not terribly surprising -- the venture was always going to require more money.\nWhat's arguably changed is investors' receptiveness to the idea that any car manufacturer besides Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) could be a serious electric vehicle contender. Ford's all-electric Mustang Mach-E started this psychological shift, selling 6,614 units in the United States during the first quarter of the year, which -- notably -- stole market share from Tesla. The company also reports 70,000 purchase reservations for the new, all-electric F150 pickup truck unveiled just last week, underscoring the idea that Ford's becoming a force within the electric vehicle market.\nAnd well it should. Deloitte estimates global unit sales of electric vehicles will grow at an annual pace of 29% over the course of the coming 10 years, reaching a yearly pace of 31.1 million automobiles by 2030. The world's going to need more than one manufacturer to make that happen.\nGoldman Sachs\nThe Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) name may not turn heads the way it used to. But, this Wall Street icon is still a stock worth owning, which you can for little more than a song.\nGoldman does a little of everything, from investment banking to asset management to brokerage, and more. It's even moving into the consumer/retail banking world under the moniker Marcus. No single arm accounts for more than 26% of its top line (that's asset management), and while all of its business lines are ultimately tethered to the economy, managing five different arms curbs a great deal of the earnings volatility its competitors may face. The trade-off of this much revenue diversification is a cap on growth potential. One or two units might perform well in any given quarter, but it's rare for all five to thrive simultaneously.\nIt's worth it though, particularly right now.\nWith an end to the pandemic in sight in some countries and the global economy on a surprisingly good footing at it happens, Goldman is ready for whatever the rebound throws at it. Take investment banking as an example. Despite the disruption created by the COVID-19 contagion, the company says its investment banking backlog now stands at record-breaking levels.

This is also the same Boeing that's seen demand for planes dry up since COVID-19 took hold, restricting air travel as a result; airlines aren't interested in purchasing new aircraft until they're sure they're going to need them.

Largely lost in the recent noise is that Boeing is in the process of digging its way out of this hole.\nAs for the 737 MAX, customers are finally committing to the now-fixed jet again. Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) recently ordered 100 of the newest iteration of the passenger jet, though CEO Gary Kelly recently explained that the addition of Southwest routes could spur the need for as many as 500 new passenger jets. SMBC Aviation, Alaska Air Group, Dubai Aerospace, and United Airlines also account for just some of the 307 orders for the 737 MAX already placed just this year.

While it may be tempting, it is too soon to add Federal Reserve policymakers to that list.</p>\n<p>Much will be made next week out of some potentially \"hawkish\" sounds from the U.S. central bank's policy meeting, economists said, while they stressed that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the majority of the voting members of the interest rate setting committee remain \"doves\" and fundamentally will be sticking to their \"patient\" stance on monetary policy.</p>\n<p>\"They are going to be a little bit less dovish than last time,\" said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. macro strategist for TD Securities.</p>\n<p>U.S. inflation has been sizzling in recent months.</p>\n<p>But the recent decline in long-term Treasury yields allows the Fed to lean into the hawkish message, O'Sullivan said.</p>\n<p>While inflation has been surprisingly hot, the Fed \"is willing to wait\" until the fall to see how the labor market responds to the inflation spike, said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. Wage pressures play a key role in determining the inflation outlook.</p>\n<p>\"We don't know how many people will come back into the labor market, how participation will rise, and will it be enough to dampen inflationary pressures,\" Shepherdson said.</p>\n<p>\"In the olden days, the Fed would have raised interest rates first and worried about what was going to happen afterwards. But this is a different Fed with a different strategy and a different approach,\" he said.</p>\n<p>The Fed is buying $80 billion of Treasurys and $40 billion of mortgage backed securities each month, along with keeping its benchmark interest rate close to zero, to support the economy.</p>\n<p>The central bank put itself in a bit of a box in December by guiding markets that it wouldn't slow down the pace of purchases until there had been \"substantial further progress\" in its goals of full employment and stable inflation.</p>\n<p><b>What will be the hawkish sounds?</b></p>\n<p>First, the Fed will give in to the reality that talking about tapering the size of its asset purchases makes sense. This is an important shift. Since December, Powell has managed to hold off such talk.</p>\n<p>But this is only the most preliminary of steps.</p>\n<p>Instead \"officials will talk in general straw-poll terms on what principles ought to apply,\" said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP.</p>\n<p>It won't be the Fed having a structured debate on a set of options game-planned by the staff. That might happen in July, but not now.</p>\n<p>To downplay the significance, the Fed won't say anything about the \"talks about tapering\" in its formal statement, next Wednesday afternoon, O'Sullivan said.</p>\n<p>Secondly, the Fed's dot-plot, or interest rate forecast chart, may show a shift forward for the first rate hike to come during 2023. At the moment, the Fed shows no rate hikes until 2024 at the earliest.</p>\n<p>At its March meeting, seven out of 18 Fed officials saw a hike before the end of 2023, and it could be nine or ten officials at the June meeting next week.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, the Fed will have to raise its forecast for inflation for this year. In March, the Fed penciled in a 2.2% core rate for the personal consumption expenditure index. While that may rise, the Fed won't move the core rate for 2022 much higher, a signal that it still believes the price gains seen in the last few months reflects \"largely transitory\" factors.</p>\n<p>During press conferences, Powell has said the economy is \"a long way\" from the Fed's goals and it would take \"some time\" for substantial further progress to be achieved.</p>\n<p>\"I wouldn't pound the table and say exactly what Powell is going to say but it is time to start getting away from that language,\" O'Sullivan of TD Securities said.</p>\n<p>At the same time, the Fed has got to say that while the economy has made progress, they still need to see a lot more,\" he added.</p>\n<p>When the Fed added the \"substantial further progress\" guideline, the economy was 9.8 million jobs short of its level in February 2020. At the moment, the economy is 7.6 million jobs short.</p>\n<p>None of these potentially hawkish noises will disturb the central message of Fed officials to the market -- that its benchmark interest rate will stay low next year.</p>\n<p>Even if the Fed starts to taper its asset purchases next January, economists think it will take months before the central bank is ready to take the next step and hike its benchmark interest rates off zero.</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>Don't be fooled by some of the hawkish sounds coming out of the Fed next week</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\">\nDon't be fooled by some of the hawkish sounds coming out of the Fed next week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-06-12 07:11</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<blockquote>\n Fed will remain dovish, economists say.\n</blockquote>\n<p>There are sixteen different types of hawks found in the United States, according to birdwatchingh.com .

Such names look and feel like they offer you more bang for your investment buck as long as you can jump in while prices are low. All too often we learn these names are cheap for a reason, and end up staying cheap due to a lack of performance.</p>\n<p>With this as the backdrop, here's look at three low-cost stocks that aren't at risk of falling into that trap. That is, they're priced at relatively low valuations, but these valuations don't fully or fairly indicate the likely growth that lies ahead for the underlying organizations. You just have to look more than a year down the road to see it.</p>\n<h2>Ford Motor</h2>\n<p>Granted, <b>Ford Motor </b>(NYSE:F) was much more of a bargain just a few days ago, before it jumped 16% on updated electric vehicle plans. The company now anticipates that by 2030, 40% of its global unit sales will be electric cars and trucks. Even so, priced at just nine times next year's expected earnings, Ford shares have lots of room to keep running.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628737%2Fsale.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's curious. Those investors keeping tabs on the carmaker probably remember when then-Ford chief executive Jim Hackett boldly (and quite publicly) jumped into EV waters back in 2017, earmarking $11 billion worth of electric vehicle capital in 2018, to be deployed by 2022. Just last week current CEO Jim Farley recently ramped-up Ford's EV development budget to $30 billion. It's exciting stuff to be sure, but not terribly surprising -- the venture was always going to require more money.</p>\n<p>What's arguably changed is investors' <i>receptiveness</i> to the idea that any car manufacturer besides <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA) could be a serious electric vehicle contender. Ford's all-electric Mustang Mach-E started this psychological shift, selling 6,614 units in the United States during the first quarter of the year, which -- notably -- stole market share from Tesla. The company also reports 70,000 purchase reservations for the new, all-electric F150 pickup truck unveiled just last week, underscoring the idea that Ford's becoming a force within the electric vehicle market.</p>\n<p>And well it should. Deloitte estimates global unit sales of electric vehicles will grow at an annual pace of 29% over the course of the coming 10 years, reaching a yearly pace of 31.1 million automobiles by 2030. The world's going to need more than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> manufacturer to make that happen.</p>\n<h2>Goldman Sachs</h2>\n<p>The <b>Goldman Sachs</b> (NYSE:GS) name may not turn heads the way it used to. But, this Wall Street icon is still a stock worth owning, which you can for little more than a song.</p>\n<p>Goldman does a little of everything, from investment banking to asset management to brokerage, and more. It's even moving into the consumer/retail banking world under the moniker Marcus. No single arm accounts for more than 26% of its top line (that's asset management), and while all of its business lines are ultimately tethered to the economy, managing five different arms curbs a great deal of the earnings volatility its competitors may face. The trade-off of this much revenue diversification is a cap on growth potential. One or two units might perform well in any given quarter, but it's rare for all five to thrive simultaneously.</p>\n<p>It's worth it though, particularly right now.</p>\n<p>With an end to the pandemic in sight in some countries and the global economy on a surprisingly good footing at it happens, Goldman is ready for whatever the rebound throws at it. Take investment banking as an example. Despite the disruption created by the COVID-19 contagion, the company says its investment banking backlog now stands at record-breaking levels. Making that detail even more incredible is that mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity is expected to swell in the foreseeable future, building on the M&amp;A rebound that started to take shape in the latter half of last year. For perspective, a recent survey of corporate officers performed by Bain &amp; Co. suggests mergers and acquisitions will drive 45% of corporate revenue growth in the foreseeable future, up from an average of 30% for the past three years.</p>\n<p>Newcomers can plug into Goldman's prospective piece of this growth at a very affordable forward-looking price-to-earnings ratio of 10.4.</p>\n<h2>The Boeing Company</h2>\n<p>Finally, add<b> Boeing</b> (NYSE:BA) to your list of bargain stocks to think about buying today.</p>\n<p>Yes, Boeing is the company that botched the design of its highly touted 737 MAX passenger jets. This is also the same Boeing that's seen demand for planes dry up since COVID-19 took hold, restricting air travel as a result; airlines aren't interested in purchasing new aircraft until they're sure they're going to need them. This is even the same Boeing that's now $62 billion in debt, more than $40 billion of which has been added just within the past year.&nbsp; A stock's only a bargain if it's got a legitimate shot at rising, and priced at 47 times next year's projected profits, and given how much of its future earnings will be needed just to make interest payments, Boeing is pushing the limits of what could be considered a \"bargain.\"</p>\n<p>Look <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, two, and even three years down the road, though. Largely lost in the recent noise is that Boeing <i>is</i> in the process of digging its way out of this hole.</p>\n<p>As for the 737 MAX, customers are finally committing to the now-fixed jet again. <b>Southwest Airlines</b> (NYSE:LUV) recently ordered 100 of the newest iteration of the passenger jet, though CEO Gary Kelly recently explained that the addition of Southwest routes could spur the need for as many as 500 new passenger jets. SMBC Aviation, <b>Alaska Air Group</b>, Dubai Aerospace, and <b>United Airlines</b> also account for just some of the 307 orders for the 737 MAX already placed just this year. It's an encouraging indication of confidence in Boeing's fix for the once-beleaguered plane.</p>\n<p>This demand is also a vote of confidence in air travel's rebound, as is the fact that Boeing is still sitting on a total of nearly 5,000 unfilled plane orders. To this end, although the International Air Transport Association (IATA) acknowledges it could take until 2023 and even 2024 for air travel to bounce back from the 52% of pre-COVID traffic we're seeing now, the IATA foresees a recovery to 88% of pre-COVID traffic taking shape next year. Airlines, however, can't wait until that many customers are ready to fly again to start procuring planes.</p>\n<p>Boeing shares are well up from last March's lows. With shares trading for 30% lower than 2019's typical price though, investors continue to underestimate the scope and speed of the company's recovery. In more normal years like 2017 or 2018, this aircraft maker can earn on the order of $10 billion, giving the company plenty of means to work on its debt and still reinvest in future growth.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Bargain Stocks You Can Buy Today</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Bargain Stocks You Can Buy Today\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-02 22:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/3-bargain-stocks-you-can-buy-today/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Has a seemingly cheap stock caught your eye?

Although this success wasn't limited to tech titans as smaller companies such as chip designer <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a> </b>(NASDAQ:AMD) as well as social networks <b>Snap </b>(NYSE:SNAP) and <b>Pinterest </b>(NYSE:PINS) also delivered strong results, Big Tech showed it is on the ride of a lifetime as in every minute of the first three months of this year, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft combined sold products and services worth about $2.5 million. Profits before tax for the period came in at $88 billion which translates to more than $1 billion of profit for every working day. But with its latest venture into healthcare, Alphabet could possibly reach even new heights.</p>\n<h4>The Success Scale Of Big Tech Means They Can Rival Countries On Some Metrics</h4>\n<p>Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft combined spent $50 billion on their R&amp;D efforts in their 2018 financial years. To give you a better idea, that was equivalent to R&amp;D spending by the whole UK economy, according to the most recent data by Office for National Statistics.</p>\n<h4>Online Advertising Is Booming</h4>\n<p>Facebook said demand is so high that the average price it charges for ads rose by 30% YoY compared with the start of the pandemic. Alphabet's revenues rose by a third-year thanks to Google's advertising business. Moreover, Alphabet was also helped by fast growth in cloud services under which it offers companies access to data centers, as it thrived during the pandemic-induced home office trend.</p>\n<h4>Directing Funds Into Pushing Boundaries</h4>\n<p>Although Alphabet has scaled back some of its spending on the so-called \"moonshot\" programs, it is still investing heavily in an effort to push the boundaries of what computers can do. At the same time, it still judged that it had $50 billion lying&nbsp;around to buy back shares.</p>\n<h4>Venturing Into Health-Care</h4>\n<p>If 2020 has taught us anything, it is the importance of good health and Google didn't waste time to tap into this rapidly accelerating field as it entered into a new venture with the Tennessee-based hospital chain HCA Healthcare. Under the partnership, Google Cloud will work to develop algorithms based on the provided patient records with the aim to improve the efficiency of the provided services as well as patient outcomes. At the moment, the healthcare industry has a ton of electronic medical records that aren't being fully utilized. But harnessing them in any way that generates more empirical data that can be of use to practitioners while diminishing reliance on anecdotal evidence could truly make a difference and help patients. So, if Google can pull this off- it will be a big deal or more precisely, monumental.</p>\n<h4>Regulatory Clouds On The Horizon</h4>\n<p>Tech companies are facing increased regulatory pressures across the globe with Germany, France, and the Netherlands complaining that the EU is not tough enough on Big Tech and called on regulators to make it harder for big tech to rule the world. France fined Google 100 million for breaching rules related to online cookies or in simple words, advertising trackers. Amazon was fined 35 million euros in the same incident in December last year. According to the WSJ, Google has offered to remove the offending technical barriers for competitors to settle the antitrust lawsuit but even if it manages to settle, the tech giant is still likely to pay a fine for its practices till now.

Although this success wasn't limited to tech titans as smaller companies such as chip designer AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) as well as social networks Snap (NYSE:SNAP) and Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) also delivered strong results, Big Tech showed it is on the ride of a lifetime as in every minute of the first three months of this year, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft combined sold products and services worth about $2.5 million. Profits before tax for the period came in at $88 billion which translates to more than $1 billion of profit for every working day. But with its latest venture into healthcare, Alphabet could possibly reach even new heights.\nThe Success Scale Of Big Tech Means They Can Rival Countries On Some Metrics\nAlphabet, Apple and Microsoft combined spent $50 billion on their R&D efforts in their 2018 financial years. To give you a better idea, that was equivalent to R&D spending by the whole UK economy, according to the most recent data by Office for National Statistics.\nOnline Advertising Is Booming\nFacebook said demand is so high that the average price it charges for ads rose by 30% YoY compared with the start of the pandemic. Alphabet's revenues rose by a third-year thanks to Google's advertising business. Moreover, Alphabet was also helped by fast growth in cloud services under which it offers companies access to data centers, as it thrived during the pandemic-induced home office trend.\nDirecting Funds Into Pushing Boundaries\nAlthough Alphabet has scaled back some of its spending on the so-called \"moonshot\" programs, it is still investing heavily in an effort to push the boundaries of what computers can do. At the same time, it still judged that it had $50 billion lying around to buy back shares.\nVenturing Into Health-Care\nIf 2020 has taught us anything, it is the importance of good health and Google didn't waste time to tap into this rapidly accelerating field as it entered into a new venture with the Tennessee-based hospital chain HCA Healthcare. Under the partnership, Google Cloud will work to develop algorithms based on the provided patient records with the aim to improve the efficiency of the provided services as well as patient outcomes. At the moment, the healthcare industry has a ton of electronic medical records that aren't being fully utilized. But harnessing them in any way that generates more empirical data that can be of use to practitioners while diminishing reliance on anecdotal evidence could truly make a difference and help patients. So, if Google can pull this off- it will be a big deal or more precisely, monumental.\nRegulatory Clouds On The Horizon\nTech companies are facing increased regulatory pressures across the globe with Germany, France, and the Netherlands complaining that the EU is not tough enough on Big Tech and called on regulators to make it harder for big tech to rule the world. France fined Google 100 million for breaching rules related to online cookies or in simple words, advertising trackers. Amazon was fined 35 million euros in the same incident in December last year. According to the WSJ, Google has offered to remove the offending technical barriers for competitors to settle the antitrust lawsuit but even if it manages to settle, the tech giant is still likely to pay a fine for its practices till now. Google is also facing similar lawsuits in Texas and a class-action lawsuit over gender-based wage disparity in California.\nOutlook\nSince Covid-19 started its relentless march across the globe, Big Tech quickly went from a defensive mode in times of uncertainty to impressive growth. It is clear that the digital revolution is here to stay, and whether regulators like it or not, these businesses have embedded their products and services deeply in our lives. By the looks of it, Big Tech is working hard on deepening the relationship with the world's population even further.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
