Analysts on average had expected revenue of $52.44 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.Net income rose to $16.74 billion, or $2.23 per share, during the quarter ended June 30, from $16.46 billion, or $2.17 per share, a year earlier.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":596,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9027537712,"gmtCreate":1654048904136,"gmtModify":1676535385499,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9027537712","repostId":"2240375487","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2240375487","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1654038585,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2240375487?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-01 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Pulls Back After Last Week's Rally With Inflation in Focus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240375487","media":"Reuters","summary":"Wall Street's three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street&#39;s three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile oil markets kept soaring inflation in focus and investors reacted to hawkish comments from a Federal Reserve official.</p><p>After outperforming earlier in the session, the S&amp;P&#39;s energy sector lost ground after a report that some producers were exploring the idea of suspending Russia&#39;s participation in the OPEC+ production deal.</p><p>Federal Reserve policy was also top of mind for investors as U.S. President Joe Biden and Fed Chair Jerome Powell met on Tuesday to discuss inflation, which Biden said ahead of the meeting was his &#34;top priority.&#34;</p><p>This was after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday the U.S. central bank should be prepared to raise rates by a half percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed.</p><p>&#34;The market&#39;s trying to figure out the endgame for the Fed,&#34; said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NTXFY\">Natixis</a> Investment Management solutions.</p><p>And while lower commodity prices would be good news for equities in the longer term, the impact of the report about OPEC and Russia on the energy sector may have spooked the broader market a little on Tuesday.</p><p>&#34;That&#39;s the sort of thing that has the market on edge,&#34; said Janasiewicz. &#34;When we started out, the sector leading us higher was energy.&#34;</p><p>By the session&#39;s close, the biggest decliner among the S&amp;P&#39;s 11 major industry sectors was energy, down 1.6%.</p><p>The only sector gainers were consumer discretionary, up 0.8%, with Amazon.com    the S&amp;P&#39;s biggest boost from a single stock on the day, and communications services, up 0.4%, as Google was the S&amp;P&#39;s next biggest contributor.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 222.84 points, or 0.67%, to 32,990.12, the S&amp;P 500 lost 26.09 points, or 0.63%, to 4,132.15 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 49.74 points, or 0.41%, to 12,081.39.</p><p>All three indexes had rallied last week to snap a decades-long losing streak.</p><p>With Tuesday&#39;s decline, the S&amp;P and the Dow were essentially unchanged for May.

They were founded in 2003 by <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> co-founder Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, who is the CEO today. The company was originally funded by the CIA and has been close partners with many leading government institutions. They went public in 2020 and skyrocketed to an incredible valuation of $21 billion. Since then, the stock price has plummeted by over 67%, mainly due to high wall street expectations and the rising interest rate environment. However, Palantir has increased their customer base by over 86% YoY, growing revenues and improving margins. The stock is also trading at a low valuation relative to historic multiples and is undervalued intrinsically based by the company&#39;s own estimates for growth. Let’s dive into the company’s business model, financials, and valuation to see if this stock offers Growth at a Reasonable Price (G.A.R.P).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea3dc2b6218d3c53f1452bb18f57eb77\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Business Model</b></p><p>Palantir is a software company which gives organizations and government institutions the ability to unlock siloed data, analyze big data sets and make better, faster decisions. The company’s technology was originally used by the CIA to assist with “terrorist hunting” across the globe. After an investment from the CIA, they began to branch out to other major customers including the US Army, Airbus ((OTCPK:EADSF)(OTCPK:EADSY)), the Royal Navy, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> (MS) and more. The company operates with three core platforms, which include the following;</p><p><b>1. Foundry</b></p><p>This is referred to as “The Operating System for the Modern Enterprise &#39;&#39;. The platform enables companies to bring together vast data sets from business intelligence, real time production data and CRM data. This also includes the development of “digital twins” which are great ways for manufacturing companies to visualize operations and see the impact of changes. Palantir has recently announced a new deal for their Foundry platform with Stellantis (STLA), the global auto manufacturer which makes Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Alpha Romeo and more.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14603b617f626e530deda9142a34ca40\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"426\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Foundry (Palantir)</span></p><p><b>2. Gotham</b></p><p>This is referred to as “The Operating System for Global Decision Making”. This allows complex situations with multiple entities to be simulated with real time data feeds to enable faster decisions. Their tagline “Thousands of Users, Millions of Sensors, A Single Pane of Glass.” sums up the platform as a single dashboard to monitor operations.</p><p>A poignant example of their platform in action is with the US Army. The platform enables real time data to be captured of both allied forces and rival forces. This can then be analyzed with AI and displayed accurately to everyone who needs to see this as a method to help avoid wars and also perform better should conflict occur. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e118dae2c9a0da5feaec6e42716124b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir Military Applications (Palantir)</span></p><p><b>3. Apollo</b></p><p>Apollo is a platform for managing production software across the major companies including Airbus, Hyundai, Rio Tinto and of course the US Army.</p><p>The company has recently announced a plethora of new products since going public. This includes edge AI which is great for the growing IoT (Internet of Things) market which grew by 22% in 2021 alone.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/656be9c002f22b1eeb91c658855861fb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir new products (Investor presentation)</span></p><p>Palantir has increased their commercial customer count by 207% and added 37 of these customers in Q12022 alone. They have a 124% net dollar retention rate, which is great to see as it means customers are staying with the company and spending more. For example, they recently closed a £10 million expansion with the UK Royal Navy. This offering started with strategic workforce planning and now includes supply chain management.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94ff9a111513feb9bc256c8d62e01647\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"325\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Commercial Customers (Investor presentation)</span></p><p><b>Founder Management</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s CEO and Founder is the unconventional Alex Karp, he has a law doctorate from Stanford where he met his Co-Founder (Peter Thiel) who was the Co-Founder of PayPal and was the first major investor into Facebook (FB). Peter Thiel still owns 7% of the company but is not involved in the day-to-day operations.</p><p>CEO Alex Karp is the main figurehead and also a Doctor of Philosophy with a net worth of approximately $850 million. The fact that Karp is independently wealthy really is testament to his mission driven focus on creating a great company. He currently still has &#34;Skin in the game&#34; and owns 2.58% of shares.</p><p><b>Growing Financials</b></p><p>Palantir has had bullish expectations of over 50% revenue growth baked into the stock since their IPO and now their share price has been butchered as a result, after the company reported a slowdown in business. But despite the bloodbath, Palantir grew revenues to $1.5 billion for FY21, up 41% year over year, which is actually great for any company with &#34;normal&#34; expectations.</p><p>In the trailing 12 months revenue increased by 31% year over year, which is also still good, but the declining growth rate is not what Wall Street likes to see. The good news is Palantir&#39;s Commercial revenue increased by 54% year over year and accelerated for the 5th quarter in a row.

They were founded in 2003 by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, who is the CEO today. The company was originally funded by the CIA and has been close partners with many leading government institutions. They went public in 2020 and skyrocketed to an incredible valuation of $21 billion. Since then, the stock price has plummeted by over 67%, mainly due to high wall street expectations and the rising interest rate environment. However, Palantir has increased their customer base by over 86% YoY, growing revenues and improving margins. The stock is also trading at a low valuation relative to historic multiples and is undervalued intrinsically based by the company's own estimates for growth. Let’s dive into the company’s business model, financials, and valuation to see if this stock offers Growth at a Reasonable Price (G.A.R.P).Data by YChartsBusiness ModelPalantir is a software company which gives organizations and government institutions the ability to unlock siloed data, analyze big data sets and make better, faster decisions. The company’s technology was originally used by the CIA to assist with “terrorist hunting” across the globe. After an investment from the CIA, they began to branch out to other major customers including the US Army, Airbus ((OTCPK:EADSF)(OTCPK:EADSY)), the Royal Navy, Morgan Stanley (MS) and more. The company operates with three core platforms, which include the following;1. FoundryThis is referred to as “The Operating System for the Modern Enterprise ''. The platform enables companies to bring together vast data sets from business intelligence, real time production data and CRM data. This also includes the development of “digital twins” which are great ways for manufacturing companies to visualize operations and see the impact of changes. Palantir has recently announced a new deal for their Foundry platform with Stellantis (STLA), the global auto manufacturer which makes Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Alpha Romeo and more.Palantir Foundry (Palantir)2. GothamThis is referred to as “The Operating System for Global Decision Making”. This allows complex situations with multiple entities to be simulated with real time data feeds to enable faster decisions. Their tagline “Thousands of Users, Millions of Sensors, A Single Pane of Glass.” sums up the platform as a single dashboard to monitor operations.A poignant example of their platform in action is with the US Army. The platform enables real time data to be captured of both allied forces and rival forces. This can then be analyzed with AI and displayed accurately to everyone who needs to see this as a method to help avoid wars and also perform better should conflict occur. Palantir Military Applications (Palantir)3. ApolloApollo is a platform for managing production software across the major companies including Airbus, Hyundai, Rio Tinto and of course the US Army.The company has recently announced a plethora of new products since going public. This includes edge AI which is great for the growing IoT (Internet of Things) market which grew by 22% in 2021 alone.Palantir new products (Investor presentation)Palantir has increased their commercial customer count by 207% and added 37 of these customers in Q12022 alone. They have a 124% net dollar retention rate, which is great to see as it means customers are staying with the company and spending more. For example, they recently closed a £10 million expansion with the UK Royal Navy. This offering started with strategic workforce planning and now includes supply chain management.Commercial Customers (Investor presentation)Founder ManagementPalantir's CEO and Founder is the unconventional Alex Karp, he has a law doctorate from Stanford where he met his Co-Founder (Peter Thiel) who was the Co-Founder of PayPal and was the first major investor into Facebook (FB). Peter Thiel still owns 7% of the company but is not involved in the day-to-day operations.CEO Alex Karp is the main figurehead and also a Doctor of Philosophy with a net worth of approximately $850 million. The fact that Karp is independently wealthy really is testament to his mission driven focus on creating a great company. He currently still has \"Skin in the game\" and owns 2.58% of shares.Growing FinancialsPalantir has had bullish expectations of over 50% revenue growth baked into the stock since their IPO and now their share price has been butchered as a result, after the company reported a slowdown in business. But despite the bloodbath, Palantir grew revenues to $1.5 billion for FY21, up 41% year over year, which is actually great for any company with \"normal\" expectations.In the trailing 12 months revenue increased by 31% year over year, which is also still good, but the declining growth rate is not what Wall Street likes to see. The good news is Palantir's Commercial revenue increased by 54% year over year and accelerated for the 5th quarter in a row. While US only commercial revenue increased by a rapid 136% year over year and accelerated for the 5th quarter in a row.Data by YChartsPalantir is operating a hefty net loss of -$498 million in trailing 12 months, but margins are improving. Their GAAP operating margin has increased from -39% in Q2 2021 to -9% by Q1 2022, which is a positive sign. While their adjusted operating margin is 26%. The company also produced $225 million in free cash flow in the trailing 12 months.Palantir Margins (Earnings report)Moving forward, Palantir is guiding for annual revenue growth of 30% or greater through 2025. They also have a strong balance sheet with $2.2 billion in cash and virtually no debt. The big data industry is forecasted to grow to $276 billion by 2026, Palantir's prime market position as a best in class provider should pave the way for continued growth. Their recent deal with Stellantis released just a few days ago could also be the start of other major carmakers jumping on board with Palantir.ValuationIn order to value Palantir I have plugged the latest financials into my valuation model, which uses the discounted cash flow method of valuation.

Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me.

Buckle up for this roller coaster, the commentators tell us. Keep your hands, arms and assets inside the vehicle at all times.The theme-park thrill ride is our most tired metaphor for market volatility. When the VIX  spiked this year, roller coasters showed up everywhere on financial media in both words and images: on the cover of The Economist, on all the major financial networks and newspapers and, too often for my taste, on MarketWatch.The language and imagery we use to talk about markets matters. In one of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these \"human emoji\" no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.I shouldn't have stopped there. So in this, my final column for MarketWatch, I think it's time to retire the roller coaster as an illustration of volatility, because the metaphor is a mediocre visual joke that's unfair to both amusement parks and markets.We lean on the rides to convey turbulence, because the hills, twists and inversions seem like stock charts drawn in real life, and the rides, like markets, induce anxiety, adrenaline, and enough G forces to empty your pockets or make you lose your lunch. So what's wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.But first, it's important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In \"Metaphors We Live By,\" a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that \"the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.\" What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, \"the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.\"When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you're a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.\"The ups and downs in the emotions don't correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,\" said Brendan Walker, a London-based \"thrill engineer\" with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. \"The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.\"The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: \"Is this the top yet?\" Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. \"They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,\" said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. \"A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.\" They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. \"This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.\"Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only \"minor injuries\" -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering \"never again,\" but no poorer for the journey.Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. \"It's a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.\"In a 2007 paper, \"Metaphors and the Market,\" Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: \"agent\" metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that \"object\" metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in \"the  Dow fell off a cliff.\" Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.\"Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,\" Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have \"unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.\"Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S. We can do better.Morris told me that his metaphor research was conducted well before the rise of social media, and these days the major financial networks and sites may be the least of investors' problems. \"If you want to be a contrarian thinker, the last thing you want is ignorant people shouting in your ear,\" he said.Investing is not for the faint of heart. But unlike markets, every roller coaster must come to an end. Writing for and editing MarketWatch has been one the great thrills of my life.

Some people fear the government has access to too much personal data, and Palantir processes a portion of the information -- making the stock controversial for some.</p><p>As Palantir shifts toward commercial customers, can it break free from its government-affiliated stigma?</p><h2>Powering businesses to process data and give the best insights</h2><p>Palantir has three main offerings: Foundry, Gotham, and Apollo. Foundry is a data management platform that allows businesses to interpret information feeds. Tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning improve processing and can identify supply chain bottlenecks -- something all businesses could use with today&#39;s issues. With Foundry, code writing isn&#39;t necessary to analyze the data, making implementation easier across all business types.</p><p>Gotham is often used by governments to process real-time information and then present critical data cleanly so those making decisions have the best chance of succeeding. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said Gotham &#34;came up with ground breaking technologies that help us make better decisions in combat zones. You are giving us advantages right now that we need.&#34; Gotham can be used in military applications, but it also works with disaster response and law enforcement.</p><p>The Apollo software allows Foundry to run across multiple networks, whether on-premise data centers or cloud networks. Companies can also use multiple cloud providers, so <b>Amazon </b>or <b>Microsoft </b>cannot lock a company into unreasonable contracts. This gives Palantir an edge against typical software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, as most require sticking with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> provider, be it on-premise or cloud.</p><h2>Strong growth, but with a caveat</h2><p>Examining Palantir&#39;s earnings performance from quarter to quarter can be misleading. Palantir&#39;s contracts are often massive -- it closed 54 deals of at least $1 million and 18 worth $10 million or more during the third quarter alone -- and can lead to odd comparisons. Still, Palantir had a strong third quarter and did well in 2021.</p><p>Q3 revenue increased 36% to $392 million, driving its remaining deal value to $3.6 billion, a 50% increase since Q3 2020. Showcasing its expansion into civilian enterprises, its commercial customer count grew 135% in just nine months. While it is too soon to tell, Palantir&#39;s business model expansion appears to be working.</p><p>Palantir isn&#39;t profitable yet, mostly caused by its massive stock-based compensation bill. During Q3, it shelled out $184 million in stock to its employees while bringing in $392 million. This led to an abysmal net loss margin of 26%. Once this expense is pulled out -- investors should be careful doing this when stock-based compensation is this high -- the net margin is 21%. Because this expense isn&#39;t cash, Palantir is free-cash-flow positive and sports an impressive 30% margin.</p><p>Supercharging growth with stock compensation is a great strategy when capturing market share, as it allows management to hire talent by compensating them generously with stock -- a cheap currency that can be created by the company. However, businesses must balance this expense; shareholders won&#39;t tolerate this strategy forever because existing shares are diluted each time a new one is created.</p><h2>Palantir&#39;s future</h2><p>Like many high-growth unprofitable tech stocks, Palantir has seen its valuation reduced over the last month.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f0e8dd22c3b64f2640b3d2c4647346d\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PLTR PS Ratio data by YCharts.</span></p><p>Still, a 23 price-to-sales multiple is expensive to pay for a stock growing at 36%. Examining Palantir with a rule of 40 lens -- often used to judge if a company is growing quickly enough to warrant losing money -- is calculated by adding its revenue growth to a profit margin of some type and seeing if it is above 40%. With a 36% revenue growth and a negative 26% net margin, Palantir fails this test with a paltry 10% score.</p><p>The company is seizing an exciting new market segment in cryptocurrency exchanges. With Foundry, platforms can detect money laundering schemes and reduce fraud. While the crypto market opportunity is still young, it could have a significant use-case for many entities -- including the government.</p><p>One Palantir competitor is <b>Alteryx </b>(NYSE:AYX). Alteryx offers many data analytics tools, but its stock has been hammered over the last year because of its lackluster earnings due to its cloud migration. As Alteryx completes the cloud transition, the battle between the two could heat up. However, there is plenty of room for multiple winners in the data analytics space.</p><p>Palantir has momentum going for it in 2022. I expect it to continue growing its revenue and customers rapidly.

Some people fear the government has access to too much personal data, and Palantir processes a portion of the information -- making the stock controversial for some.As Palantir shifts toward commercial customers, can it break free from its government-affiliated stigma?Powering businesses to process data and give the best insightsPalantir has three main offerings: Foundry, Gotham, and Apollo. Foundry is a data management platform that allows businesses to interpret information feeds. Tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning improve processing and can identify supply chain bottlenecks -- something all businesses could use with today's issues. With Foundry, code writing isn't necessary to analyze the data, making implementation easier across all business types.Gotham is often used by governments to process real-time information and then present critical data cleanly so those making decisions have the best chance of succeeding. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said Gotham \"came up with ground breaking technologies that help us make better decisions in combat zones. You are giving us advantages right now that we need.\" Gotham can be used in military applications, but it also works with disaster response and law enforcement.The Apollo software allows Foundry to run across multiple networks, whether on-premise data centers or cloud networks. Companies can also use multiple cloud providers, so Amazon or Microsoft cannot lock a company into unreasonable contracts. This gives Palantir an edge against typical software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, as most require sticking with one provider, be it on-premise or cloud.Strong growth, but with a caveatExamining Palantir's earnings performance from quarter to quarter can be misleading. Palantir's contracts are often massive -- it closed 54 deals of at least $1 million and 18 worth $10 million or more during the third quarter alone -- and can lead to odd comparisons. Still, Palantir had a strong third quarter and did well in 2021.Q3 revenue increased 36% to $392 million, driving its remaining deal value to $3.6 billion, a 50% increase since Q3 2020. Showcasing its expansion into civilian enterprises, its commercial customer count grew 135% in just nine months. While it is too soon to tell, Palantir's business model expansion appears to be working.Palantir isn't profitable yet, mostly caused by its massive stock-based compensation bill. During Q3, it shelled out $184 million in stock to its employees while bringing in $392 million. This led to an abysmal net loss margin of 26%. Once this expense is pulled out -- investors should be careful doing this when stock-based compensation is this high -- the net margin is 21%. Because this expense isn't cash, Palantir is free-cash-flow positive and sports an impressive 30% margin.Supercharging growth with stock compensation is a great strategy when capturing market share, as it allows management to hire talent by compensating them generously with stock -- a cheap currency that can be created by the company. However, businesses must balance this expense; shareholders won't tolerate this strategy forever because existing shares are diluted each time a new one is created.Palantir's futureLike many high-growth unprofitable tech stocks, Palantir has seen its valuation reduced over the last month.PLTR PS Ratio data by YCharts.Still, a 23 price-to-sales multiple is expensive to pay for a stock growing at 36%. Examining Palantir with a rule of 40 lens -- often used to judge if a company is growing quickly enough to warrant losing money -- is calculated by adding its revenue growth to a profit margin of some type and seeing if it is above 40%. With a 36% revenue growth and a negative 26% net margin, Palantir fails this test with a paltry 10% score.The company is seizing an exciting new market segment in cryptocurrency exchanges. With Foundry, platforms can detect money laundering schemes and reduce fraud. While the crypto market opportunity is still young, it could have a significant use-case for many entities -- including the government.One Palantir competitor is Alteryx (NYSE:AYX). Alteryx offers many data analytics tools, but its stock has been hammered over the last year because of its lackluster earnings due to its cloud migration. As Alteryx completes the cloud transition, the battle between the two could heat up. However, there is plenty of room for multiple winners in the data analytics space.Palantir has momentum going for it in 2022. I expect it to continue growing its revenue and customers rapidly. Still, its stock-based compensation will prevent it from becoming profitable for years. Additionally, Palantir is often mentioned on Reddit boards and could cause large price movements, depending on what the community is attempting to do. However, I believe Palantir can still be a great long-term investment.While I don't know how 2022 will treat Palantir, its long-term prospects are bright.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":805,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882294722,"gmtCreate":1631693958066,"gmtModify":1676530610628,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good..&nbsp;","listText":"Good..&nbsp;","text":"Good..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882294722","repostId":"1141983036","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":600,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889677677,"gmtCreate":1631148468899,"gmtModify":1676530479602,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ?&nbsp;","listText":"Good ?&nbsp;","text":"Good ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889677677","repostId":"2166339788","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":830408048,"gmtCreate":1629086478684,"gmtModify":1676529925257,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/830408048","repostId":"1103539222","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":544,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806126730,"gmtCreate":1627643120520,"gmtModify":1703493932907,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming&nbsp;months.","listText":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming&nbsp;months.","text":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming months.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806126730","repostId":"1168057115","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177506674,"gmtCreate":1627233803398,"gmtModify":1703485819291,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586394751812463","authorIdStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good.","listText":"Good.","text":"Good.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177506674","repostId":"2153878189","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153878189","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627179426,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153878189?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-25 10:17","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Amazon's stock looks tired.

Bipartisan talk of&nbsp;antitrust actions&nbsp;against the e-commerce giant could mean that Amazon’s dominance could begin to face challenges from Washington. That comes as Bezos handed off the CEO role to Andy Jassy earlier this month.</p>\n<p>Shares of Amazon have underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100&nbsp;and the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic forced Americans to rely on its service during the darkest days.</p>\n<p>Given all this, it is worth considering e-commerce alternatives if you’re worried that Amazon’s best days are behind it.</p>\n<p>Here are five smaller high-growth companies you may want to research:</p>\n<p><b>Sea</b></p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;Sea Ltd.&nbsp;are up about 45% in 2021, hitting new all-time highs as it continues its aggressive growth across Asia and Latin America.</p>\n<p>The Singapore-based company has a broad business model capitalizing on e-commerce and digital retail operations around the world. That includes its Garena digital entertainment platform that publishes video games and offers e-sports tie-ins, the Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital financial services that include mobile payment services.</p>\n<p>Sea was a darling in 2020 as it rode the “stay at home trade” to great success. Revenue doubled year over year in 2020 to $4.4 billion, and the company’s momentum was the envy of Wall Street as Sea stock racked up roughly 640% gains on the calendar year.</p>\n<p>But the fundamentals shown by Sea in 2021 hint that the surge in share prices were justified. Consider that in its first-quarter report in May, revenue surged by about&nbsp;150%— while gross profit tripled year over year.</p>\n<p>With its next earnings report scheduled for mid-August, Sea stock could see another leg up as it continues to prove Amazon isn’t the only e-commerce name worth watching.</p>\n<p><b>Coupang</b></p>\n<p>While Sea has been a cult stock for a while in some circles, one Asian e-commerce stock that is still flying under the radar for many is Korea-based Coupang Inc..&nbsp;South Korea’s biggest e-commerce company began trading in March after an IPO that raised $4.6 billion, but since then shares have drifted lower — and other cult-like stocks have won all the attention.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t yet heard of Coupang, its model should be quite familiar. It sells various products including home goods, apparel, beauty products, sporting goods and electronics. It’s also looking beyond these tried-and-true categories to include a focus on fresh food and groceries, as well as services including travel and restaurant delivery.</p>\n<p>Though the fundamentals are light given its recent debut, the numbers we have do show this regional e-tailer is connecting in a big way in Korea. Namely, it saw net revenue growth of 74% in its first-quarter report in May, and gross profit up 70% year over year. Total customers grew 21%, and revenue per customer surged 44%.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, the total customer base in that quarter was just 16 million households — hardly Amazon-esque. And so far in 2021, share prices has slumped slightly, even though the S&amp;P 500 has powered higher. But remember, this is a company that just raised $4.6 billion — with a “B” — and is serious about growth. Considering the language and logistical barriers to competition in the markets it serves that clearly have long-term growth potential, investors may want to consider the lull in Coupang shares a buying opportunity.</p>\n<p><b>MercadoLibre</b></p>\n<p>Taking a page out of the playbook of Silicon Valley stocks that boast high share prices and a refusal to split, MercadoLibre Inc.&nbsp;is currently trading well above four figures — and based on recent history, seems as if it’s likely to stay there.</p>\n<p>MercadoLibre stock has cooled off in 2021 and is sitting on a slight loss year to date, compared with an uptrend broadly for U.S. stocks. However, that’s after this Latin American stock racked up 200% gains last year. Argentina-based MercadoLibre is hardly slowing down, however, as in the first quarter it reported&nbsp;70 million&nbsp;active users — an increase of 62% above the just over 43 million users in the prior year. Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>What’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.</p>\n<p>Amazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.</p>\n<p><b>Newegg</b></p>\n<p>Newegg Commerce Inc.&nbsp;is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.</p>\n<p>The inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia&nbsp;graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.</p>\n<p>Newegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.</p>\n<p>According to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify</b></p>\n<p>If you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.</p>\n<p>Shopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade.

Five other companies, including Sea and Coupang, are taking it further\nSea Ltd.'s Shopee e-commerce platform.\nJeff Bezos has plenty of achievements under his belt, the most recent being his extraterrestrial excursion.\nBut Amazon.com shareholders may not be so impressed. Bipartisan talk of antitrust actions against the e-commerce giant could mean that Amazon’s dominance could begin to face challenges from Washington. That comes as Bezos handed off the CEO role to Andy Jassy earlier this month.\nShares of Amazon have underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic forced Americans to rely on its service during the darkest days.\nGiven all this, it is worth considering e-commerce alternatives if you’re worried that Amazon’s best days are behind it.\nHere are five smaller high-growth companies you may want to research:\nSea\nShares of Sea Ltd. are up about 45% in 2021, hitting new all-time highs as it continues its aggressive growth across Asia and Latin America.\nThe Singapore-based company has a broad business model capitalizing on e-commerce and digital retail operations around the world. That includes its Garena digital entertainment platform that publishes video games and offers e-sports tie-ins, the Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital financial services that include mobile payment services.\nSea was a darling in 2020 as it rode the “stay at home trade” to great success. Revenue doubled year over year in 2020 to $4.4 billion, and the company’s momentum was the envy of Wall Street as Sea stock racked up roughly 640% gains on the calendar year.\nBut the fundamentals shown by Sea in 2021 hint that the surge in share prices were justified. Consider that in its first-quarter report in May, revenue surged by about 150%— while gross profit tripled year over year.\nWith its next earnings report scheduled for mid-August, Sea stock could see another leg up as it continues to prove Amazon isn’t the only e-commerce name worth watching.\nCoupang\nWhile Sea has been a cult stock for a while in some circles, one Asian e-commerce stock that is still flying under the radar for many is Korea-based Coupang Inc.. South Korea’s biggest e-commerce company began trading in March after an IPO that raised $4.6 billion, but since then shares have drifted lower — and other cult-like stocks have won all the attention.\nIf you haven’t yet heard of Coupang, its model should be quite familiar. It sells various products including home goods, apparel, beauty products, sporting goods and electronics. It’s also looking beyond these tried-and-true categories to include a focus on fresh food and groceries, as well as services including travel and restaurant delivery.\nThough the fundamentals are light given its recent debut, the numbers we have do show this regional e-tailer is connecting in a big way in Korea. Namely, it saw net revenue growth of 74% in its first-quarter report in May, and gross profit up 70% year over year. Total customers grew 21%, and revenue per customer surged 44%.\nAdmittedly, the total customer base in that quarter was just 16 million households — hardly Amazon-esque. And so far in 2021, share prices has slumped slightly, even though the S&P 500 has powered higher. But remember, this is a company that just raised $4.6 billion — with a “B” — and is serious about growth. Considering the language and logistical barriers to competition in the markets it serves that clearly have long-term growth potential, investors may want to consider the lull in Coupang shares a buying opportunity.\nMercadoLibre\nTaking a page out of the playbook of Silicon Valley stocks that boast high share prices and a refusal to split, MercadoLibre Inc. is currently trading well above four figures — and based on recent history, seems as if it’s likely to stay there.\nMercadoLibre stock has cooled off in 2021 and is sitting on a slight loss year to date, compared with an uptrend broadly for U.S. stocks. However, that’s after this Latin American stock racked up 200% gains last year. Argentina-based MercadoLibre is hardly slowing down, however, as in the first quarter it reported 70 million active users — an increase of 62% above the just over 43 million users in the prior year. Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.\nWhat’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.\nAmazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.\nNewegg\nNewegg Commerce Inc. is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.\nThe inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.\nNewegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.\nAccording to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.\nShopify\nIf you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.\nShopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade. After all, the e-commerce potential it helps merchants realize is real and lasting beyond the pandemic.\nCase in point:Fiscal first-quarter revenue growth reported at the end of April was a red hot 110%. But what long-term investors will like even more is that its subscription service metric MRR — that is, monthly recurring revenue — accelerated 62% year-over-year to prove that many of the initial spend on building out these platforms is sticking as clients maintain their Shopify presence.\nShopify isn’t quite the scale of Amazon, but at $200 billion or so in market value right now with a comfortable operating profit to sustain it, investors who want to bet the field vs. Bezos & Co. could do worse than plug into Shopify stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":691,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9027537712,"gmtCreate":1654048904136,"gmtModify":1676535385499,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9027537712","repostId":"2240375487","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2240375487","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1654038585,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2240375487?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-01 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Pulls Back After Last Week's Rally With Inflation in Focus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240375487","media":"Reuters","summary":"Wall Street's three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street&#39;s three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile oil markets kept soaring inflation in focus and investors reacted to hawkish comments from a Federal Reserve official.</p><p>After outperforming earlier in the session, the S&amp;P&#39;s energy sector lost ground after a report that some producers were exploring the idea of suspending Russia&#39;s participation in the OPEC+ production deal.</p><p>Federal Reserve policy was also top of mind for investors as U.S. President Joe Biden and Fed Chair Jerome Powell met on Tuesday to discuss inflation, which Biden said ahead of the meeting was his &#34;top priority.&#34;</p><p>This was after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday the U.S. central bank should be prepared to raise rates by a half percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed.</p><p>&#34;The market&#39;s trying to figure out the endgame for the Fed,&#34; said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NTXFY\">Natixis</a> Investment Management solutions.</p><p>And while lower commodity prices would be good news for equities in the longer term, the impact of the report about OPEC and Russia on the energy sector may have spooked the broader market a little on Tuesday.</p><p>&#34;That&#39;s the sort of thing that has the market on edge,&#34; said Janasiewicz. &#34;When we started out, the sector leading us higher was energy.&#34;</p><p>By the session&#39;s close, the biggest decliner among the S&amp;P&#39;s 11 major industry sectors was energy, down 1.6%.</p><p>The only sector gainers were consumer discretionary, up 0.8%, with Amazon.com    the S&amp;P&#39;s biggest boost from a single stock on the day, and communications services, up 0.4%, as Google was the S&amp;P&#39;s next biggest contributor.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 222.84 points, or 0.67%, to 32,990.12, the S&amp;P 500 lost 26.09 points, or 0.63%, to 4,132.15 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 49.74 points, or 0.41%, to 12,081.39.</p><p>All three indexes had rallied last week to snap a decades-long losing streak.</p><p>With Tuesday&#39;s decline, the S&amp;P and the Dow were essentially unchanged for May.

The Nasdaq showed a monthly decline of 2%.\"There're too many concerns at the moment for markets to do a sharp V-bottom,\" said Carol Schleif, deputy chief investment officer at BMO Family Office, who sees equities trading sideways for some time due to uncertainties including the Russia-Ukraine war, the global economy and inflation, as well as Fed policy.\"A piece of it is energy prices because at the margin those really impact people's propensity to spend. People are really noticing the higher prices at the grocery store,\" she said.Earlier in the day, data showed U.S. consumer confidence eased modestly in May amid persistently high inflation and rising rates, while a separate reading showed U.S. home price growth unexpectedly heated up to record levels in March.Other key data due this week is the monthly non-farm payrolls numbers for cues on the labor market.U.S.-listed shares of Yamana Gold Inc climbed 3.7%after South African miner Gold Fields Ltd agreed to buy the Canadian miner in a $6.7 billion all-share deal.Dexcom Inc closed up 3% after the glucose monitoring systems maker denied a report on merger talks with insulin pump maker Insulet Corp.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.44-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 53 new highs and 58 new lows.On U.S. exchanges 15.52 billion shares changed hands on Tuesday, compared with the 20-day moving average of 13.25 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":803,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806126730,"gmtCreate":1627643120520,"gmtModify":1703493932907,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming&nbsp;months.","listText":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming&nbsp;months.","text":"Hope the situation will improve in the coming months.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806126730","repostId":"1168057115","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889677677,"gmtCreate":1631148468899,"gmtModify":1676530479602,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ?&nbsp;","listText":"Good ?&nbsp;","text":"Good ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889677677","repostId":"2166339788","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166339788","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631145495,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2166339788?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-09 07:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla plans energy trading desk as company expands renewable power projects","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166339788","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 8 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle maker Tesla is looking to staff an energy trading desk to suppor","content":"<p>Sept 8 (Reuters) - Electric vehicle maker Tesla is looking to staff an energy trading desk to support its battery and renewable power projects, according to Tesla's website and an employee post on the career site LinkedIn.com.</p>\n<p>The company has expanded operations to include home solar and large battery storage facilities.

Bipartisan talk of&nbsp;antitrust actions&nbsp;against the e-commerce giant could mean that Amazon’s dominance could begin to face challenges from Washington. That comes as Bezos handed off the CEO role to Andy Jassy earlier this month.</p>\n<p>Shares of Amazon have underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100&nbsp;and the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic forced Americans to rely on its service during the darkest days.</p>\n<p>Given all this, it is worth considering e-commerce alternatives if you’re worried that Amazon’s best days are behind it.</p>\n<p>Here are five smaller high-growth companies you may want to research:</p>\n<p><b>Sea</b></p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;Sea Ltd.&nbsp;are up about 45% in 2021, hitting new all-time highs as it continues its aggressive growth across Asia and Latin America.</p>\n<p>The Singapore-based company has a broad business model capitalizing on e-commerce and digital retail operations around the world. That includes its Garena digital entertainment platform that publishes video games and offers e-sports tie-ins, the Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital financial services that include mobile payment services.</p>\n<p>Sea was a darling in 2020 as it rode the “stay at home trade” to great success. Revenue doubled year over year in 2020 to $4.4 billion, and the company’s momentum was the envy of Wall Street as Sea stock racked up roughly 640% gains on the calendar year.</p>\n<p>But the fundamentals shown by Sea in 2021 hint that the surge in share prices were justified. Consider that in its first-quarter report in May, revenue surged by about&nbsp;150%— while gross profit tripled year over year.</p>\n<p>With its next earnings report scheduled for mid-August, Sea stock could see another leg up as it continues to prove Amazon isn’t the only e-commerce name worth watching.</p>\n<p><b>Coupang</b></p>\n<p>While Sea has been a cult stock for a while in some circles, one Asian e-commerce stock that is still flying under the radar for many is Korea-based Coupang Inc..&nbsp;South Korea’s biggest e-commerce company began trading in March after an IPO that raised $4.6 billion, but since then shares have drifted lower — and other cult-like stocks have won all the attention.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t yet heard of Coupang, its model should be quite familiar. It sells various products including home goods, apparel, beauty products, sporting goods and electronics. It’s also looking beyond these tried-and-true categories to include a focus on fresh food and groceries, as well as services including travel and restaurant delivery.</p>\n<p>Though the fundamentals are light given its recent debut, the numbers we have do show this regional e-tailer is connecting in a big way in Korea. Namely, it saw net revenue growth of 74% in its first-quarter report in May, and gross profit up 70% year over year. Total customers grew 21%, and revenue per customer surged 44%.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, the total customer base in that quarter was just 16 million households — hardly Amazon-esque. And so far in 2021, share prices has slumped slightly, even though the S&amp;P 500 has powered higher. But remember, this is a company that just raised $4.6 billion — with a “B” — and is serious about growth. Considering the language and logistical barriers to competition in the markets it serves that clearly have long-term growth potential, investors may want to consider the lull in Coupang shares a buying opportunity.</p>\n<p><b>MercadoLibre</b></p>\n<p>Taking a page out of the playbook of Silicon Valley stocks that boast high share prices and a refusal to split, MercadoLibre Inc.&nbsp;is currently trading well above four figures — and based on recent history, seems as if it’s likely to stay there.</p>\n<p>MercadoLibre stock has cooled off in 2021 and is sitting on a slight loss year to date, compared with an uptrend broadly for U.S. stocks. However, that’s after this Latin American stock racked up 200% gains last year. Argentina-based MercadoLibre is hardly slowing down, however, as in the first quarter it reported&nbsp;70 million&nbsp;active users — an increase of 62% above the just over 43 million users in the prior year. Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>What’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.</p>\n<p>Amazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.</p>\n<p><b>Newegg</b></p>\n<p>Newegg Commerce Inc.&nbsp;is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.</p>\n<p>The inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia&nbsp;graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.</p>\n<p>Newegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.</p>\n<p>According to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify</b></p>\n<p>If you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.</p>\n<p>Shopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade.

Five other companies, including Sea and Coupang, are taking it further\nSea Ltd.'s Shopee e-commerce platform.\nJeff Bezos has plenty of achievements under his belt, the most recent being his extraterrestrial excursion.\nBut Amazon.com shareholders may not be so impressed. Bipartisan talk of antitrust actions against the e-commerce giant could mean that Amazon’s dominance could begin to face challenges from Washington. That comes as Bezos handed off the CEO role to Andy Jassy earlier this month.\nShares of Amazon have underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic forced Americans to rely on its service during the darkest days.\nGiven all this, it is worth considering e-commerce alternatives if you’re worried that Amazon’s best days are behind it.\nHere are five smaller high-growth companies you may want to research:\nSea\nShares of Sea Ltd. are up about 45% in 2021, hitting new all-time highs as it continues its aggressive growth across Asia and Latin America.\nThe Singapore-based company has a broad business model capitalizing on e-commerce and digital retail operations around the world. That includes its Garena digital entertainment platform that publishes video games and offers e-sports tie-ins, the Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital financial services that include mobile payment services.\nSea was a darling in 2020 as it rode the “stay at home trade” to great success. Revenue doubled year over year in 2020 to $4.4 billion, and the company’s momentum was the envy of Wall Street as Sea stock racked up roughly 640% gains on the calendar year.\nBut the fundamentals shown by Sea in 2021 hint that the surge in share prices were justified. Consider that in its first-quarter report in May, revenue surged by about 150%— while gross profit tripled year over year.\nWith its next earnings report scheduled for mid-August, Sea stock could see another leg up as it continues to prove Amazon isn’t the only e-commerce name worth watching.\nCoupang\nWhile Sea has been a cult stock for a while in some circles, one Asian e-commerce stock that is still flying under the radar for many is Korea-based Coupang Inc.. South Korea’s biggest e-commerce company began trading in March after an IPO that raised $4.6 billion, but since then shares have drifted lower — and other cult-like stocks have won all the attention.\nIf you haven’t yet heard of Coupang, its model should be quite familiar. It sells various products including home goods, apparel, beauty products, sporting goods and electronics. It’s also looking beyond these tried-and-true categories to include a focus on fresh food and groceries, as well as services including travel and restaurant delivery.\nThough the fundamentals are light given its recent debut, the numbers we have do show this regional e-tailer is connecting in a big way in Korea. Namely, it saw net revenue growth of 74% in its first-quarter report in May, and gross profit up 70% year over year. Total customers grew 21%, and revenue per customer surged 44%.\nAdmittedly, the total customer base in that quarter was just 16 million households — hardly Amazon-esque. And so far in 2021, share prices has slumped slightly, even though the S&P 500 has powered higher. But remember, this is a company that just raised $4.6 billion — with a “B” — and is serious about growth. Considering the language and logistical barriers to competition in the markets it serves that clearly have long-term growth potential, investors may want to consider the lull in Coupang shares a buying opportunity.\nMercadoLibre\nTaking a page out of the playbook of Silicon Valley stocks that boast high share prices and a refusal to split, MercadoLibre Inc. is currently trading well above four figures — and based on recent history, seems as if it’s likely to stay there.\nMercadoLibre stock has cooled off in 2021 and is sitting on a slight loss year to date, compared with an uptrend broadly for U.S. stocks. However, that’s after this Latin American stock racked up 200% gains last year. Argentina-based MercadoLibre is hardly slowing down, however, as in the first quarter it reported 70 million active users — an increase of 62% above the just over 43 million users in the prior year. Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.\nWhat’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.\nAmazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.\nNewegg\nNewegg Commerce Inc. is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.\nThe inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.\nNewegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.\nAccording to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.\nShopify\nIf you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.\nShopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade. After all, the e-commerce potential it helps merchants realize is real and lasting beyond the pandemic.\nCase in point:Fiscal first-quarter revenue growth reported at the end of April was a red hot 110%. But what long-term investors will like even more is that its subscription service metric MRR — that is, monthly recurring revenue — accelerated 62% year-over-year to prove that many of the initial spend on building out these platforms is sticking as clients maintain their Shopify presence.\nShopify isn’t quite the scale of Amazon, but at $200 billion or so in market value right now with a comfortable operating profit to sustain it, investors who want to bet the field vs. Bezos & Co. could do worse than plug into Shopify stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":691,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087870208,"gmtCreate":1650996315745,"gmtModify":1676534829486,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087870208","repostId":"1156040423","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":530,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9024583275,"gmtCreate":1653885320497,"gmtModify":1676535357806,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing","listText":"Thanks for sharing","text":"Thanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9024583275","repostId":"2239141089","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9089516991,"gmtCreate":1650003413435,"gmtModify":1676534627761,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Think so...","listText":"Think so...","text":"Think so...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9089516991","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":817,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032788899,"gmtCreate":1647443027408,"gmtModify":1676534230803,"author":{"id":"3586394751812463","authorId":"3586394751812463","name":"angkw","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586394751812463","idStr":"3586394751812463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good metaphors.","listText":"Good metaphors.","text":"Good metaphors.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032788899","repostId":"2219276104","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2219276104","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":1647439200,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2219276104?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-16 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Stock Market Is Not a Roller Coaster, a Bull, a Bear or a Dead Cat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2219276104","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"How the metaphors we use to explain markets can steer investors into dumb decisions.When the stock m","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>How the metaphors we use to explain markets can steer investors into dumb decisions.</p><p>When the stock market plunges, we all go to Disney World -- or Six Flags. Buckle up for this roller coaster, the commentators tell us. Keep your hands, arms and assets inside the vehicle at all times.</p><p>The theme-park thrill ride is our most tired metaphor for market volatility. When the VIX  spiked this year, roller coasters showed up everywhere on financial media in both words and images: on the cover of The Economist, on all the major financial networks and newspapers and, too often for my taste, on MarketWatch.</p><p>The language and imagery we use to talk about markets matters. In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these &#34;human emoji&#34; no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.</p><p>I shouldn&#39;t have stopped there. So in this, my final column for MarketWatch, I think it&#39;s time to retire the roller coaster as an illustration of volatility, because the metaphor is a mediocre visual joke that&#39;s unfair to both amusement parks and markets.</p><p>We lean on the rides to convey turbulence, because the hills, twists and inversions seem like stock charts drawn in real life, and the rides, like markets, induce anxiety, adrenaline, and enough G forces to empty your pockets or make you lose your lunch. So what&#39;s wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S.

In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these &#34;human emoji&#34; no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.</p><p>I shouldn&#39;t have stopped there.

So what&#39;s wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point.
