Its products arein use by 98% of Fortune 500 companies. The SaaS provider is well known for solutions like a desktop virtualization solutions for remote work. In a hybrid work environment — with many companies still having staff working from home for at least part of the week — Citrix should be thriving.</p>\n<p>However, CTXS stock is performing poorly. It’s down 21% so far in 2021. The latest setback occurred on July 29, with a single-day loss of over 13%. What’s the problem? In a nutshell, pretty much everything.In its latest quarter, operating margins fell by nearly half to 10%. Worse, the company issued guidance that projects those margins will continue to fall, landing between 8% and 9% for full-year 2021. The company is also projecting full-year revenue will remain virtually static or even shrink. From $3.24 billion in 2020, to between 3.22 billion and $3.25 billion for 2021.</p>\n<p>Until Citrix management rights the ship, I would stay away.</p>\n<p>CTXS stock currently rates an F in<i>Portfolio Grader.</i></p>\n<p><b>CMC Materials (CCMP)</b></p>\n<p>It’s no secret that semiconductor stocks have been defying the general tech stock trend in 2021. Manysemiconductor stocks have been surging, with massive demand, order backlogs and customers lining up. Among CMC Materials’ primary products are the slurries and polishing pads used in the manufacture of computer chips.</p>\n<p>So why is CCMP stock down 15% so far this year?</p>\n<p>In large part, the blame lies with China. When the company released its Q2 earnings in May, it reported record revenue. However, it only topped the previous year’s revenue by 2.2% and missed analyst expectations. In addition, concerns were raised about the company’s slurry business. It is largely dependent on a Chinese market thatmay be artificially strongbecause customers in that country are buying up supplies as a hedge against potential U.S. trade sanctions. In the week after those Q2 results, CCMP shares dropped 19%.</p>\n<p>Last week, CMC Materials reported another record quarter. However, the China situation came up again and wasdirectly referenced in the earnings release, with the company noting: “lower than expected CMP slurries revenue in the short-term, driven by variability in order patterns from certain Chinese customers.” On that news, CCMP stock dropped over 14%.</p>\n<p>With an F rating in<i>Portfolio Grader,</i>you should definitely avoid CCMP stock at this point.</p>\n<p><b>Tech Stocks to Avoid: Cree (CREE)</b></p>\n<p>Once known as an LED lighting pioneer, Creesold off that business in 2020. The timing was good. The price of LED lighting was being pushed lower and lower as the technology went mainstream. In addition, with the pandemic shuttering many buildings, the market for LED lighting suffered “massive declines.”</p>\n<p>Cree is now focused on semiconductors and RF tech for 5G applications. Despite the pivot, CREE stock has performed poorly this year. After topping $128 in February, it’s currently trading below $96, or 25% lower. Among the investor concerns are the fact that despite revenue rising 21% YoY in its latest quarter, GAAP loses increased from 52 cents per share a year ago to 59 cents per share.</p>\n<p>The company’s CEOpumped up Cree’s efforts: “With the sale of our LED business now complete, we accomplished a critical milestone in our journey to becoming a pure-play semiconductor powerhouse and have an even greater focus on converting opportunities in our pipeline and expanding our manufacturing capacity.”</p>\n<p>Until Cree successfully converts those opportunities into sales (and makes those sales profitable), CREE remains on this list of tech stocks to avoid.</p>\n<p>CREE stock earns D ratings across the board in<i>Portfolio Grader.</i></p>\n<p><b>Dun &amp; Bradstreet Holdings (DNB)</b></p>\n<p>Dun &amp; Bradstreet is focused on providing data and analytics for commercial customers. This includes the company’s “DUNS” number, which is used to generate reports that predict the reliability and/or financial stability of hundreds of millions of companies globally. The DUNS number is alsoused by the federal government to track grants.</p>\n<p>A formerly publicly traded company, Dun &amp; Bradstreet went private, then returned with a 2020 IPO. Since then, DNB stock has slumped 32%. As<i>InvestorPlace</i>contributor Ian Bezek pointed out at the time of that 2020 IPO,the company’s revenue has been flat for the past decade.</p>\n<p>In its most recent guidance,the company is projecting revenue to top $2.1 billion in 2021. If that’s turns out to be the case, it would be a significant increase over 2020’s $1.74 billion. However, at its current valuation and current trajectory, DNB stock still feels too risky.</p>\n<p>At the time of publication, DNB stock was rated F in&nbsp;<i>Portfolio Grader.</i></p>\n<p><b>Tech Stocks to Avoid: Medallia (MDLA)</b></p>\n<p>Finally, we have Medallia. The San Francisco-based company bills itself as a cloud-based customer and employee experience company. That translates into SaaS solutions that capture feedback from employees and customers. Valuable information for companies, without a doubt. However, Medallia is having trouble converting that into profits. In fact, in itslatest quarterly report, the company saw net losses increase from $32.5 million in the previous year to $52.4 million.</p>\n<p>While MDLA stock is up 5% overall in 2021, it’s down 29% from the end of January, and 9% since going public in the summer of 2019. I would want to see that trajectory going the opposite direction before considering an investment.</p>\n<p>Further cementing its status among tech stocks to avoid, the current<i>Portfolio Grader</i>rating for MDLA stock is a D.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>6 Tech Stocks to Avoid Until They Turn Things Around</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n6 Tech Stocks to Avoid Until They Turn Things Around\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-12 17:19 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/08/7-tech-stocks-to-avoid-until-they-turn-things-around/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These are tech stocks to avoid for issues ranging from slumping share prices to declining margins.\nIn pre-pandemic times, tech stocks were equated with long-term growth.

Manysemiconductor stocks have been surging, with massive demand, order backlogs and customers lining up. Among CMC Materials’ primary products are the slurries and polishing pads used in the manufacture of computer chips.\nSo why is CCMP stock down 15% so far this year?\nIn large part, the blame lies with China. When the company released its Q2 earnings in May, it reported record revenue. However, it only topped the previous year’s revenue by 2.2% and missed analyst expectations. In addition, concerns were raised about the company’s slurry business. It is largely dependent on a Chinese market thatmay be artificially strongbecause customers in that country are buying up supplies as a hedge against potential U.S. trade sanctions. In the week after those Q2 results, CCMP shares dropped 19%.\nLast week, CMC Materials reported another record quarter. However, the China situation came up again and wasdirectly referenced in the earnings release, with the company noting: “lower than expected CMP slurries revenue in the short-term, driven by variability in order patterns from certain Chinese customers.” On that news, CCMP stock dropped over 14%.\nWith an F rating inPortfolio Grader,you should definitely avoid CCMP stock at this point.\nTech Stocks to Avoid: Cree (CREE)\nOnce known as an LED lighting pioneer, Creesold off that business in 2020. The timing was good. The price of LED lighting was being pushed lower and lower as the technology went mainstream. In addition, with the pandemic shuttering many buildings, the market for LED lighting suffered “massive declines.”\nCree is now focused on semiconductors and RF tech for 5G applications. Despite the pivot, CREE stock has performed poorly this year. After topping $128 in February, it’s currently trading below $96, or 25% lower. Among the investor concerns are the fact that despite revenue rising 21% YoY in its latest quarter, GAAP loses increased from 52 cents per share a year ago to 59 cents per share.\nThe company’s CEOpumped up Cree’s efforts: “With the sale of our LED business now complete, we accomplished a critical milestone in our journey to becoming a pure-play semiconductor powerhouse and have an even greater focus on converting opportunities in our pipeline and expanding our manufacturing capacity.”\nUntil Cree successfully converts those opportunities into sales (and makes those sales profitable), CREE remains on this list of tech stocks to avoid.\nCREE stock earns D ratings across the board inPortfolio Grader.\nDun & Bradstreet Holdings (DNB)\nDun & Bradstreet is focused on providing data and analytics for commercial customers. This includes the company’s “DUNS” number, which is used to generate reports that predict the reliability and/or financial stability of hundreds of millions of companies globally. The DUNS number is alsoused by the federal government to track grants.\nA formerly publicly traded company, Dun & Bradstreet went private, then returned with a 2020 IPO. Since then, DNB stock has slumped 32%. AsInvestorPlacecontributor Ian Bezek pointed out at the time of that 2020 IPO,the company’s revenue has been flat for the past decade.\nIn its most recent guidance,the company is projecting revenue to top $2.1 billion in 2021. If that’s turns out to be the case, it would be a significant increase over 2020’s $1.74 billion. However, at its current valuation and current trajectory, DNB stock still feels too risky.\nAt the time of publication, DNB stock was rated F in Portfolio Grader.\nTech Stocks to Avoid: Medallia (MDLA)\nFinally, we have Medallia. The San Francisco-based company bills itself as a cloud-based customer and employee experience company. That translates into SaaS solutions that capture feedback from employees and customers. Valuable information for companies, without a doubt. However, Medallia is having trouble converting that into profits. In fact, in itslatest quarterly report, the company saw net losses increase from $32.5 million in the previous year to $52.4 million.\nWhile MDLA stock is up 5% overall in 2021, it’s down 29% from the end of January, and 9% since going public in the summer of 2019. I would want to see that trajectory going the opposite direction before considering an investment.\nFurther cementing its status among tech stocks to avoid, the currentPortfolio Graderrating for MDLA stock is a D.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":802,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896715446,"gmtCreate":1628605295785,"gmtModify":1676529795139,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NAOV\">$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$</a>like me&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NAOV\">$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$</a>like me&nbsp;","text":"$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$like me","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896715446","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896792251,"gmtCreate":1628604338073,"gmtModify":1676529794677,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BDR\">$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$</a>go go go!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BDR\">$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$</a>go go go!","text":"$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$go go go!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896792251","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":798,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898361865,"gmtCreate":1628474233657,"gmtModify":1703506593374,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>??","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9bb330473f8b394a0e662351a404f4b","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898361865","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":491,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":895403418,"gmtCreate":1628761407434,"gmtModify":1676529845705,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895403418","repostId":"1126315062","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126315062","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628759956,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126315062?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-12 17:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"6 Tech Stocks to Avoid Until They Turn Things Around","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126315062","media":"investorplace","summary":"These are tech stocks to avoid for issues ranging from slumping share prices to declining margins.\nI","content":"<p>These are tech stocks to avoid for issues ranging from slumping share prices to declining margins.</p>\n<p>In pre-pandemic times, tech stocks were equated with long-term growth.

This includes the company’s “DUNS” number, which is used to generate reports that predict the reliability and/or financial stability of hundreds of millions of companies globally. The DUNS number is alsoused by the federal government to track grants.\nA formerly publicly traded company, Dun & Bradstreet went private, then returned with a 2020 IPO. Since then, DNB stock has slumped 32%. AsInvestorPlacecontributor Ian Bezek pointed out at the time of that 2020 IPO,the company’s revenue has been flat for the past decade.\nIn its most recent guidance,the company is projecting revenue to top $2.1 billion in 2021. If that’s turns out to be the case, it would be a significant increase over 2020’s $1.74 billion. However, at its current valuation and current trajectory, DNB stock still feels too risky.\nAt the time of publication, DNB stock was rated F in Portfolio Grader.\nTech Stocks to Avoid: Medallia (MDLA)\nFinally, we have Medallia. The San Francisco-based company bills itself as a cloud-based customer and employee experience company. That translates into SaaS solutions that capture feedback from employees and customers. Valuable information for companies, without a doubt. However, Medallia is having trouble converting that into profits. In fact, in itslatest quarterly report, the company saw net losses increase from $32.5 million in the previous year to $52.4 million.\nWhile MDLA stock is up 5% overall in 2021, it’s down 29% from the end of January, and 9% since going public in the summer of 2019. I would want to see that trajectory going the opposite direction before considering an investment.\nFurther cementing its status among tech stocks to avoid, the currentPortfolio Graderrating for MDLA stock is a D.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":802,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896792251,"gmtCreate":1628604338073,"gmtModify":1676529794677,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BDR\">$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$</a>go go go!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BDR\">$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$</a>go go go!","text":"$Blonder Tongue Laboratories(BDR)$go go go!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896792251","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":798,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896715446,"gmtCreate":1628605295785,"gmtModify":1676529795139,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NAOV\">$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$</a>like me&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NAOV\">$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$</a>like me&nbsp;","text":"$NanoVibronix Inc(NAOV)$like me","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896715446","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812466019,"gmtCreate":1630608408131,"gmtModify":1676530354972,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WTRH\">$Waitr Holdings Inc.(WTRH)$</a>gogogogo!!!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WTRH\">$Waitr Holdings Inc.(WTRH)$</a>gogogogo!!!","text":"$Waitr Holdings Inc.(WTRH)$gogogogo!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/812466019","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":570,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":811517453,"gmtCreate":1630332009272,"gmtModify":1676530272056,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANY\">$Sphere 3D(ANY)$</a>go go go!!!!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANY\">$Sphere 3D(ANY)$</a>go go go!!!!","text":"$Sphere 3D(ANY)$go go go!!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/811517453","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":552,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898361865,"gmtCreate":1628474233657,"gmtModify":1703506593374,"author":{"id":"4091158805167820","authorId":"4091158805167820","name":"Huilingz89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3aa5f448d70947748f84cefc7f79d0a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091158805167820","authorIdStr":"4091158805167820"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>??","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9bb330473f8b394a0e662351a404f4b","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898361865","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":491,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
