Names you can have every confidence in no matter what might happen to the broad market? If so, keep reading. Below are my top-five foundational picks for almost any portfolio as 2021 transitions into 2022. In no particular order...</p><h2>Alphabet</h2><p>You know the company. <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is of course parent to search engine behemoth Google and online video venue YouTube. It&#39;s got some other revenue-bearing projects in its collection as well, but those two platforms alone account for about 80% of its total business. More than that, both platforms&#39; business is pretty darn secure. Data from GlobalStats suggests Google handles more than 90% of the world&#39;s web searches -- a statistic that&#39;s held steady for a decade. And although it&#39;s anything but a traditional streaming service like <b>Netflix</b> or <b>Disney</b>+, YouTube has worked its way into our living rooms as a preferred entertainment destination. Numbers from <b>Nielsen</b> posted earlier this year indicate that U.S. consumers are streaming about as much YouTube content as Netflix content, and streaming a heck of a lot more YouTube content than Disney content.</p><p>Credit that viewership to YouTube&#39;s 2 billion regular monthly users collectively watching more than 1 billion worth of YouTube videos every single day. The watch-anything format works!</p><h2>Shopify</h2><p><b>Amazon</b> may have pioneered and then mainstreamed the idea of online shopping. But, its business model was and still is far from perfect. The bigger it gets, the more complicated and impersonal the site becomes. And, if it wants to continue growing, eventually it will have to compete with its own third-party sellers as well as pit them against one another.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/733fc433da3326538663dd5e53b05762\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"463\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>Enter <b>Shopify</b> (NASDAQ:SHOP), the un-Amazon. Rather than restricting an online seller&#39;s options to Amazon&#39;s online storefronts, Shopify gives merchants a means of building their own stores their own way. As of the latest tally, more than 1.7 million business use Shopify&#39;s online selling tools.</p><p>That&#39;s just the beginning, however, as many small businesses have yet to discover this friendlier alternative. Last quarter&#39;s top line grew 46% year over year, extending what&#39;s become a well-established uptrend.</p><h2>Walmart</h2><p>At the other end of the size spectrum sits <b>Walmart</b> (NYSE:WMT), the reason many small brick-and-mortar businesses had to turn to e-commerce to survive, yet a disadvantaged competitor to Amazon as well. Walmart&#39;s brick-and-mortar retail empire didn&#39;t seem equipped to deal either with Amazon or with the armada of newly empowered small merchants that have gone online.</p><p>The world&#39;s biggest brick-and-mortar retailer isn&#39;t as helpless now as it was just a few years ago though. Indeed, it&#39;s turned everything around, leveraging its physical footprint with its growing online reach. While it still only does a fraction of the e-commerce business Amazon does, this year&#39;s third-quarter online sales rolled in 87% better than 2019&#39;s pre-pandemic total. That growth extended a long-standing streak of improvement as well.</p><p>It&#39;s also just the beginning of Walmart&#39;s melding of its online and offline operations into a powerful platform, however. The company announced in February that it intended to invest on the order of $14 billion in its supply chain, automation, and other customer-centric technologies over the course of the coming months. These investments should start to bear fruit in 2022.</p><h2>Verizon</h2><p>If you&#39;re looking only for high-growth prospects, take a pass on <b>Verizon Communications</b> (NYSE:VZ). Before you dismiss the idea altogether though, might I make a plea to even the most growth-minded investors that there&#39;s a lot to be said for generating reliable dividend income? That&#39;s true even if you&#39;re only looking for recurring cash injections to buy more growth stocks with.</p><p>Despite the low interest rate environment we&#39;re in now, not every dividend-paying stock&#39;s yield has been whittled back to reflect this dynamic. Verizon currently sports an above-average yield of nearly 4.9%  -- based on a dividend, I might add, that&#39;s been paid like clockwork in every quarter since 2000 when Verizon came into existence via the merger of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTEDA.AU\">GTE</a> and Bell Atlantic. The dividend payment&#39;s also been raised at least a little bit every year since 2007. That doesn&#39;t qualify the stock for Dividend Aristocrat status yet, but given the nature of its business (consumers aren&#39;t about to stop using mobile phones now!), that possibility is certainly on the radar.</p><h2>Nvidia</h2><p>Finally, computer technology outfit <b>Nvidia</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) has earned a spot on my high-conviction stock list for 2022.</p><p>You may know it first and foremost as a video-gaming hardware name, and the company still does plenty of video gaming business to be sure. In fact, video gaming hardware sales was its biggest business last quarter, accounting for 45% of its top line.</p><p>There&#39;s another venture that will eventually drive much more revenue for Nvidia than video games though. That&#39;s data centers, and data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) applications in particular. As it turns out, the same technological architecture that&#39;s well-suited for handling the intense graphical display needs of video games is also ideal for the intense number-crunching being done for AI purposes. And, Nvidia is now building this hardware from the ground up with artificial intelligence in mind. That&#39;s a big reason why nearly 70% of the world&#39;s supercomputers currently in use are powered by Nvidia&#39;s tech.</p><p>The world&#39;s only scratched the surface of the AI evolution, however. Technology market research company IDC believes the AI hardware market will swell from this year&#39;s $85 billion to $200 billion in 2025. Even winning a fraction of that business would be an enormous boon for Nvidia.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>As the Sun Sets on 2021, These 5 Stocks Are My Highest-Conviction Holdings</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\">\nAs the Sun Sets on 2021, These 5 Stocks Are My Highest-Conviction Holdings\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-31 20:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/31/as-the-sun-sets-on-2021-these-5-stocks-my-highest/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Are you still on the hunt for some core long-term holdings to start the new year?

The company announced in February that it intended to invest on the order of $14 billion in its supply chain, automation, and other customer-centric technologies over the course of the coming months. These investments should start to bear fruit in 2022.VerizonIf you're looking only for high-growth prospects, take a pass on Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ). Before you dismiss the idea altogether though, might I make a plea to even the most growth-minded investors that there's a lot to be said for generating reliable dividend income? That's true even if you're only looking for recurring cash injections to buy more growth stocks with.Despite the low interest rate environment we're in now, not every dividend-paying stock's yield has been whittled back to reflect this dynamic. Verizon currently sports an above-average yield of nearly 4.9%  -- based on a dividend, I might add, that's been paid like clockwork in every quarter since 2000 when Verizon came into existence via the merger of GTE and Bell Atlantic. The dividend payment's also been raised at least a little bit every year since 2007. That doesn't qualify the stock for Dividend Aristocrat status yet, but given the nature of its business (consumers aren't about to stop using mobile phones now!), that possibility is certainly on the radar.NvidiaFinally, computer technology outfit Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has earned a spot on my high-conviction stock list for 2022.You may know it first and foremost as a video-gaming hardware name, and the company still does plenty of video gaming business to be sure. In fact, video gaming hardware sales was its biggest business last quarter, accounting for 45% of its top line.There's another venture that will eventually drive much more revenue for Nvidia than video games though. That's data centers, and data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) applications in particular. As it turns out, the same technological architecture that's well-suited for handling the intense graphical display needs of video games is also ideal for the intense number-crunching being done for AI purposes. And, Nvidia is now building this hardware from the ground up with artificial intelligence in mind. That's a big reason why nearly 70% of the world's supercomputers currently in use are powered by Nvidia's tech.The world's only scratched the surface of the AI evolution, however. Technology market research company IDC believes the AI hardware market will swell from this year's $85 billion to $200 billion in 2025. Even winning a fraction of that business would be an enormous boon for Nvidia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":745,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869567455,"gmtCreate":1632306342977,"gmtModify":1676530747961,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof","listText":"oof","text":"oof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869567455","repostId":"1150093379","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":430,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869223069,"gmtCreate":1632295261451,"gmtModify":1676530745305,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof","listText":"oof","text":"oof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869223069","repostId":"2169637993","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":459,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887663423,"gmtCreate":1632027839762,"gmtModify":1676530689761,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"mannn","listText":"mannn","text":"mannn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887663423","repostId":"1198486138","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198486138","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632023224,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198486138?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-19 11:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 ways men live without working in America","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198486138","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"How do they live? What are they doing for money? ","content":"<p>Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!</p>\n<p>How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.</p>\n<p>I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.</p>\n<p>It’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.</p>\n<p>As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/056158b8fa7157238c3d1521dd05c02e\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809084435ffdcbc0695311d158bb7a98\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Robinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly<b>-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy</b></p>\n<p>This one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.</p>\n<p><b>-Living off family members</b></p>\n<p>Just to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.</p>\n<p><b>-Illegal work</b></p>\n<p>Front and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.</p>\n<p>What about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f8f4b3e6a5aa97a10f5c7bb22dec1d7\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">ORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More<b>-Living off the land</b></p>\n<p>This would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:</p>\n<p>“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”</p>\n<p>Ditto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:</p>\n<p>“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”</p>\n<p>As for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:</p>\n<p>“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.</p>\n<p>Ball says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.</p>\n<p>So there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.</p>\n<p>And some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.</p>\n<p>I would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.</p>\n<p>That example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f197be5c6c11483ec906a1757293e4d\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Of course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.</p>\n<p>It seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.</p>\n<p><b><i>This article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!\nHow do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.\nI’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.\nIt’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.\nAs a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:\nChart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nEconomists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.\nI’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More\nThere’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc.

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy\nThis one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.\n-Living off family members\nJust to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.\n-Illegal work\nFront and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.\nWhat about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.\nORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More-Living off the land\nThis would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:\n“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”\nDitto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:\n“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”\nAs for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:\n“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.\nBall says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.\nSo there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.\nAnd some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.\nI would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.\nThat example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.\nChart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nOf course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.\nIt seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.\nThis article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

That dynamic could be amplified this week ahead of \"quadruple witching,\" the simultaneous expiration Friday of individual stock options, stock-index options, stock-index futures and single-stock futures.</p>\n<p>Options are financial instruments that give the holder the right but not the obligation to buy, in the case of a call option, or sell, in the case of a put option, the underlying asset at a set price by a certain time.</p>\n<p>\"Almost like clockwork, over the past six months the S&amp;P 500 has fallen in the week leading into OpEx, so the risk is we see this flow repeat and come into play this week, which could mean weakness into Friday's expiry -- although perhaps it's all too obvious now,\" said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, in a Monday note. OpEx is trader slang for options expiration.</p>\n<p>One popular explanation of the dynamic requires briefly translating some options lingo: Delta measures how much an options price is expected to change for ever $1 move in the price of the underlying asset. Gamma measures the speed of the change in an options delta.</p>\n<p>The Friday expiration \"should get some focus because the talk is market makers are long gamma, and this has had the effect of reducing volatility,\" Weston wrote. Effectively, market makers who have sold options are taking positions in the underlying stocks or other instruments to hedge their market exposure.</p>\n<p>\"When this gamma rolls off the market, it typically means the index is free to move as it should, as market makers have less position risk to hedge,\" Weston said.</p>\n<p>Bloomberg previously noted bouts of market weakness ahead of the expiration of monthly stock options, which occurs on the third Friday of the contract month. The report observed that some analysts had tied bouts of weakness across equity markets in the days ahead of the monthly options expirations in February, April, June, July and August.</p>\n<p>Heading into Friday's quadruple witching -- a convergence that occurs once every quarter and is typically associated with the potential for increased volatility and high trading volume -- stocks were stumbling again. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.6% on Tuesday, leaving the large-cap benchmark down nearly 2% in the month to date. The S&amp;P 500 has fallen in six of the last seven sessions, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has declined in nine of the past 11 sessions.</p>\n<p>Quadruple witching can make for choppy trading because \"so many things are coming off at once, and firms unwinding positions versus each other and versus their stocks,\" said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, in a phone interview.</p>\n<p>That activity, combined with a lack of fresh trading catalysts, could continue to make for choppy price action in coming sessions, he said.</p>\n<p>While there was some immediate reaction to a softer-than-expected inflation report Tuesday, the data didn't significantly change market expectations.

The stock price keeps going up and up. Let's find out why.</p>\n<p>Here's how the article plays out. First, I discuss Multiple Expansion. Second, I review Financial Growth. Third, I investigate Stock Buybacks. Fourth, I dive into Customer Demand. Lastly, I poke a bit at Macro Tailwinds.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #1 Multiple Expansion</b></p>\n<p>I'm specifically talking about the price to earnings ratio or \"PE Ratio\" going higher. It's worth pausing for a moment to really think about thedefinition:</p>\n<blockquote>\n The price to earnings ratio (PE Ratio) is the measure of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share.\n <b>PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share</b>. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>I've highlighted the essential point which is that stock prices go up because of investor demand. I'll talk more about this in a short while. For now, just pretend that if AAPL stock supply was held steady, the price would still go up over time as demand for the stock increases.</p>\n<p>Now, with PE Ratio firmly in mind, consider the following as proof of investor demand over time:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53093fc4b47352993f2204cd5c7b9b3c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">This is a 10-year view. Clearly, buying almost any time before 2020 would have been intelligent given this rearview mirror look. And, specifically, just look at 2013 and 2016 where the PE Ratio was about 10.<i>Incredible.</i></p>\n<p>Now, take a look at the stock price:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cdb9e5708eb4edfa2af3510768f450f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">No surprise, but the rise in PE Ratio lines up rather well with AAPL's stock price. The run from 2020 into 2021 has been quite satisfactory considering the drop in the PE Ratio from 40 down to 29. The forward PE Ratio is down around 27.</p>\n<p>In short, here's been a big swing up from the PE Ratio between 10 and 20 a few years ago through now, where we're seeing the PE Ratio hitting 30 to 40.</p>\n<p>To bring this full circle, the PE Ratio over 10 years tells us a simple story. AAPL's stock price has gone up because of investor demand. While that's \"obvious\", keep in mind that if we isolate this demand, it tells us that investors have been willing to pay relatively more for the profits that AAPL generates. Again, I'm strictly isolating demand for now. There's more to cover, of course. This is merely one piece of the pie.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #2 Financial Growth</b></p>\n<p>AAPL is a great business. Just take a look.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e1972b5f06e3d39c33e744849acae3d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Data by YCharts</p>\n<p>I've picked some growth metrics. Clearly, Revenue, Net Income, and Cash From Operations over the past 10 years have improved. That's impressive growth, without even looking at the billions and billions in real money pouring into the business.</p>\n<p>I've also included Profit Margin in the picture. I did this for two reasons. First, it shows that it's not really necessary for AAPL to do an amazing job with profit margins. You don't need growth in all metrics to have tremendous overall growth, which is then reflected in the stock price.</p>\n<p>Second, the Profit Margin isn't shrinking.<i>It's almost like a heartbeat</i>, up and down, quarter after quarter per the cycle of the business. Again, the essential point is that you don't need 100% success with all business metrics to produce incredible stock price gains.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #3 Stock Buybacks</b></p>\n<p>Financial engineering has a bad reputation because there's an implication that it's used to hide flaws in a business. But,the definition is rather neutral.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Financial engineering is the use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineering uses tools and knowledge from the fields of computer science, statistics, economics, and applied mathematics to address current financial issues as well as to devise new and innovative financial products.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, that being said, perhaps some a bit \"dark\" is happening with AAPL with relation to financial engineering. For example,CNBC said this in 2019:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Apple's aggressive use of its copious cash resources to\n <b>repurchase its shares at modest valuations</b>in recent years has shown the power of buybacks for a maturing company in a growth lull. And, for Apple, if not the typical company, long-term shareholders have benefited without compromising the company's hiring or spending on capital investment.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n The slowdown in iPhone unit sales in the past couple of years has restrained Apple's overall growth since its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2015. In fact, net income this fiscal year is projected to be almost exactly equal to what Apple booked four years earlier.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>While this is meant to slander AAPL a bit, just scroll back up in this article and look at the PE Ratio of AAPL from 2011 to 2019. Looks like smart buying when the PE is up to 25, 30, and higher. I'm not saying that AAPL was supremely undervalued, but for many years, the buybacks were at least rational given the valuation. At a minimum,<i>it doesn't appear that AAPL was hiding anything</i>.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, this activity doesn't just mop up newly issued shares (i.e., options and stock-based compensation) that are often used to enrich management, and the like. See for yourself.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/50c844329e373b8e3b48818adfc718c2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Data by YCharts</p>\n<p>And, in case you were wondering,Warren Buffett has largely agreedwith AAPL's buyback activity:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Berkshire's investment in Apple vividly illustrates the power of repurchases. We began buying Apple stock late in 2016 and by early July 2018, owned slightly more than one billion Apple shares (split-adjusted). Saying that, I'm referencing the investment held in Berkshire's general account and am excluding a very small and separately-managed holding of Apple shares that was subsequently sold. When we finished our purchases in mid-2018, Berkshire's general account owned 5.2% of Apple.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Our cost for that stake was $36 billion. Since then, we have both enjoyed regular dividends, averaging about $775 million annually, and have also - in 2020 - pocketed an additional $11 billion by selling a small portion of our position.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Despite that sale - voila! - Berkshire now owns 5.4% of Apple. That increase was costless to us, coming about because Apple has continuously repurchased its shares, thereby substantially shrinking the number it now has outstanding.\n</blockquote>\n<p>When a company buys back its own stock, your ownership in that business increases. The \"secret\" is that the company needs to be undervalued or fairly valued so that every dollar spent on buybacks is accretive, i.e., like spending $1.00 but getting $1.10 in value. The sin of buybacks will manifest when every $1.00 used only generates let's say $0.80 of actual value. Just like an ordinary investor,<i>what you buy and when you buy will determine your results</i>.</p>\n<p>So, again, coming back full circle, AAPL has gone up because of buybacks and related financial engineering. You might agree or disagree with this activity, versus let's say, increasing the dividend. Nevertheless, buybacks have contributed to AAPL's stock price increase.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #4 Customer Demand</b></p>\n<p>I previously mentioned demand but that was in relation to the stock itself. However, all stock represents ownership in a real business. We must never forget that truth.</p>\n<p>And, AAPL certainly hasn't slowed down much, at least in the bigger picture. Here's a peek at what's been released just in 2020 and 2021:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccfbe6990299287b18bf36930608c7a9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"751\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:Wikipedia</p>\n<p>Old products getting refreshed, new products launching, new generations of products, new form factors, new services, and so on, and so forth. While it might sometimes seem that AAPL isn't innovating much, the reality is that this company keeps evolving and adapting.</p>\n<p>Again, it might seem like AAPL is \"just a phone company\" but consider the bigger picture:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db5806e4fbcb9b2f3cc7083a8eb0e207\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:MacRumors</p>\n<p>Of course, like you, I see loads of iPhone sales. But, I see growth in tablets, wearables, services, computers, and much more. Phones are very important, maybe even still extremely important, yet the point remains. AAPL products, including the iPhone, continue to be in demand. Therefore, revenue continues to grow, and profits continue to flood into the business.</p>\n<p>In short, there is demand for products and services, so the company makes a ton of money, and then investors want a piece of the action. The result is obvious. The stock price goes up because the business is selling products that people want. Investors see that in many ways and bid up the price.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #5 Macro Tailwinds</b></p>\n<p>This is rather interesting:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c09f0ffa8c19221d2084e4008748c70\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:ZeroHedge</p>\n<p>Along with this comment:</p>\n<blockquote>\n ...since the outbreak of COVID-19\n <b>global central banks have bought $834mn of financial assets every 60 minutes</b>…and every 60 minutes the market cap of global tech stocks has risen $780mn.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>I haven't done the exact math, but what I can tell you is that money is being printed and pumped into the financial system. It's also going directly to consumers, who in turn spend or otherwise use that money.</p>\n<p>Keeping this simple, there are actually two ways that AAPL gets a lift. First, that added money pours into AAPL stock itself. That is, investors buy the stock. Demand for assets increases. Second, that money goes from customers directly to AAPL. Customers buy products and services, which drives up revenue and products, as I've explained previously.</p>\n<p>At a very high level, consider the M2 money supply:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/825006ea7bb760303f6eda643c385ef2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"237\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</p>\n<p>Imagine that demand for AAPL products was being held constant. When you increase the money supply, people use that money to chase after goods and services, but also assets like AAPL stock. In other words,<i>it inflates revenues and profits, and also the stock itself</i>. In effect, when M2 increases, you get inflation in the real world (e.g., food, energy, clothing, etc.) but also in asset prices, like AAPL.</p>\n<p>I like to think about this another way. Although AAPL is getting more and more mature, it's still a growth stock. I mean that in terms of products and services, but also in terms of stock price. And, as a growth stock,<i>it's actually acting like a battery, holding financial energy</i>. As the M2 money supply increases at a fast pace, AAPL is the kind of company that can roughly keep pace with inflation, or even much better.</p>\n<p>In plain terms, inflation is driving up prices. Because of demand, AAPL can increase prices and capture more of that money, even if each dollar is worth a bit less. Furthermore, AAPL stock continues to appreciate, holding the value of previously invested money so that purchasing power holds.</p>\n<p>For many investors, it's far better to hold AAPL as an asset than cash. As the money supply increases, every unit of \"money value\" decreases. However, if your assets can keep pace, or do better, then you can keep racing ahead of that curve. Again, AAPL is a financial battery, because it holds value.</p>\n<p><b>Wrap-Up</b></p>\n<p>I've provided five reasons for AAPL's stock price inflation:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Multiple Expansion (PE Ratio Increase)</li>\n <li>Financial Growth (Business Efficiency)</li>\n <li>Stock Buybacks (Financial Engineering)</li>\n <li>Customer Demand (More &amp; Better Products)</li>\n <li>Macro Tailwinds (Money Supply &amp; Inflation)</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In large part, we can understand AAPL's stock price increase over time in relation to supply and demand. For example, the demand for AAPL stock has gone up over time because the business is getting better but also because it continues to pump out great products. Also, with stock buybacks, there's less stock to go around, and with more money floating around, investors are chasing up AAPL's price.</p>\n<p><b>The Future</b></p>\n<p>Now, while I think AAPL is a great company, and it's not about to collapse or die off,<i>I don't love the price right now</i>. I think it's fine to dollar cost average, or drip dividends. But, I'm not convinced it's time to go \"all in\" on AAPL. In part, I'm saying this because I have owned AAPL since 2016 and my cost basis is down around $29. So, I'm not selling due to capital gains taxes, but I'm not thrilled about buying either. In other words, I bring a strong bias to the table.</p>\n<p>If I take a step back, I will say that I'm bullish on AAPL over the longer term, or at least for the next 5-10 years and I think investors will do just fine. The company is fantastic. My problem is really that the valuation is a bit rich. I believe there could be better times to buy than now.</p>\n<p>In any case, I don't know the future since I have no crystal ball. So, I'll simply say that I'm bullish, and that each investor must consider their situation, including their goals, timeline, and the like.</p>\n<p>Again, I'm bullish but I'm just holding right now, and not dripping, and not adding at these prices. And,<i>I have absolutely zero intention of selling</i>.</p>\n<p><b>Marketplace Launch</b></p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this article, then please keep an eye out.

The stock price keeps going up and up. Let's find out why.\nHere's how the article plays out. First, I discuss Multiple Expansion. Second, I review Financial Growth. Third, I investigate Stock Buybacks. Fourth, I dive into Customer Demand. Lastly, I poke a bit at Macro Tailwinds.\nReason #1 Multiple Expansion\nI'm specifically talking about the price to earnings ratio or \"PE Ratio\" going higher. It's worth pausing for a moment to really think about thedefinition:\n\n The price to earnings ratio (PE Ratio) is the measure of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share.\n PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nI've highlighted the essential point which is that stock prices go up because of investor demand. I'll talk more about this in a short while. For now, just pretend that if AAPL stock supply was held steady, the price would still go up over time as demand for the stock increases.\nNow, with PE Ratio firmly in mind, consider the following as proof of investor demand over time:\nThis is a 10-year view. Clearly, buying almost any time before 2020 would have been intelligent given this rearview mirror look. And, specifically, just look at 2013 and 2016 where the PE Ratio was about 10.Incredible.\nNow, take a look at the stock price:\nNo surprise, but the rise in PE Ratio lines up rather well with AAPL's stock price. The run from 2020 into 2021 has been quite satisfactory considering the drop in the PE Ratio from 40 down to 29. The forward PE Ratio is down around 27.\nIn short, here's been a big swing up from the PE Ratio between 10 and 20 a few years ago through now, where we're seeing the PE Ratio hitting 30 to 40.\nTo bring this full circle, the PE Ratio over 10 years tells us a simple story. AAPL's stock price has gone up because of investor demand. While that's \"obvious\", keep in mind that if we isolate this demand, it tells us that investors have been willing to pay relatively more for the profits that AAPL generates. Again, I'm strictly isolating demand for now. There's more to cover, of course. This is merely one piece of the pie.\nReason #2 Financial Growth\nAAPL is a great business. Just take a look.\nData by YCharts\nI've picked some growth metrics. Clearly, Revenue, Net Income, and Cash From Operations over the past 10 years have improved. That's impressive growth, without even looking at the billions and billions in real money pouring into the business.\nI've also included Profit Margin in the picture. I did this for two reasons. First, it shows that it's not really necessary for AAPL to do an amazing job with profit margins. You don't need growth in all metrics to have tremendous overall growth, which is then reflected in the stock price.\nSecond, the Profit Margin isn't shrinking.It's almost like a heartbeat, up and down, quarter after quarter per the cycle of the business. Again, the essential point is that you don't need 100% success with all business metrics to produce incredible stock price gains.\nReason #3 Stock Buybacks\nFinancial engineering has a bad reputation because there's an implication that it's used to hide flaws in a business. But,the definition is rather neutral.\n\n Financial engineering is the use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineering uses tools and knowledge from the fields of computer science, statistics, economics, and applied mathematics to address current financial issues as well as to devise new and innovative financial products.\n\nNow, that being said, perhaps some a bit \"dark\" is happening with AAPL with relation to financial engineering. For example,CNBC said this in 2019:\n\n Apple's aggressive use of its copious cash resources to\n repurchase its shares at modest valuationsin recent years has shown the power of buybacks for a maturing company in a growth lull. And, for Apple, if not the typical company, long-term shareholders have benefited without compromising the company's hiring or spending on capital investment.\n\n\n The slowdown in iPhone unit sales in the past couple of years has restrained Apple's overall growth since its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2015. In fact, net income this fiscal year is projected to be almost exactly equal to what Apple booked four years earlier.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nWhile this is meant to slander AAPL a bit, just scroll back up in this article and look at the PE Ratio of AAPL from 2011 to 2019. Looks like smart buying when the PE is up to 25, 30, and higher. I'm not saying that AAPL was supremely undervalued, but for many years, the buybacks were at least rational given the valuation. At a minimum,it doesn't appear that AAPL was hiding anything.\nFurthermore, this activity doesn't just mop up newly issued shares (i.e., options and stock-based compensation) that are often used to enrich management, and the like. See for yourself.\nData by YCharts\nAnd, in case you were wondering,Warren Buffett has largely agreedwith AAPL's buyback activity:\n\n Berkshire's investment in Apple vividly illustrates the power of repurchases. We began buying Apple stock late in 2016 and by early July 2018, owned slightly more than one billion Apple shares (split-adjusted). Saying that, I'm referencing the investment held in Berkshire's general account and am excluding a very small and separately-managed holding of Apple shares that was subsequently sold. When we finished our purchases in mid-2018, Berkshire's general account owned 5.2% of Apple.\n\n\n Our cost for that stake was $36 billion. Since then, we have both enjoyed regular dividends, averaging about $775 million annually, and have also - in 2020 - pocketed an additional $11 billion by selling a small portion of our position.\n\n\n Despite that sale - voila! - Berkshire now owns 5.4% of Apple. That increase was costless to us, coming about because Apple has continuously repurchased its shares, thereby substantially shrinking the number it now has outstanding.\n\nWhen a company buys back its own stock, your ownership in that business increases. The \"secret\" is that the company needs to be undervalued or fairly valued so that every dollar spent on buybacks is accretive, i.e., like spending $1.00 but getting $1.10 in value. The sin of buybacks will manifest when every $1.00 used only generates let's say $0.80 of actual value. Just like an ordinary investor,what you buy and when you buy will determine your results.\nSo, again, coming back full circle, AAPL has gone up because of buybacks and related financial engineering. You might agree or disagree with this activity, versus let's say, increasing the dividend. Nevertheless, buybacks have contributed to AAPL's stock price increase.\nReason #4 Customer Demand\nI previously mentioned demand but that was in relation to the stock itself. However, all stock represents ownership in a real business. We must never forget that truth.\nAnd, AAPL certainly hasn't slowed down much, at least in the bigger picture. Here's a peek at what's been released just in 2020 and 2021:\n\nSource:Wikipedia\nOld products getting refreshed, new products launching, new generations of products, new form factors, new services, and so on, and so forth. While it might sometimes seem that AAPL isn't innovating much, the reality is that this company keeps evolving and adapting.\nAgain, it might seem like AAPL is \"just a phone company\" but consider the bigger picture:\n\nSource:MacRumors\nOf course, like you, I see loads of iPhone sales. But, I see growth in tablets, wearables, services, computers, and much more. Phones are very important, maybe even still extremely important, yet the point remains. AAPL products, including the iPhone, continue to be in demand. Therefore, revenue continues to grow, and profits continue to flood into the business.\nIn short, there is demand for products and services, so the company makes a ton of money, and then investors want a piece of the action. The result is obvious. The stock price goes up because the business is selling products that people want. Investors see that in many ways and bid up the price.\nReason #5 Macro Tailwinds\nThis is rather interesting:\n\nSource:ZeroHedge\nAlong with this comment:\n\n ...since the outbreak of COVID-19\n global central banks have bought $834mn of financial assets every 60 minutes…and every 60 minutes the market cap of global tech stocks has risen $780mn.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nI haven't done the exact math, but what I can tell you is that money is being printed and pumped into the financial system. It's also going directly to consumers, who in turn spend or otherwise use that money.\nKeeping this simple, there are actually two ways that AAPL gets a lift. First, that added money pours into AAPL stock itself. That is, investors buy the stock. Demand for assets increases. Second, that money goes from customers directly to AAPL. Customers buy products and services, which drives up revenue and products, as I've explained previously.\nAt a very high level, consider the M2 money supply:\n\nSource:Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\nImagine that demand for AAPL products was being held constant. When you increase the money supply, people use that money to chase after goods and services, but also assets like AAPL stock. In other words,it inflates revenues and profits, and also the stock itself. In effect, when M2 increases, you get inflation in the real world (e.g., food, energy, clothing, etc.) but also in asset prices, like AAPL.\nI like to think about this another way. Although AAPL is getting more and more mature, it's still a growth stock. I mean that in terms of products and services, but also in terms of stock price. And, as a growth stock,it's actually acting like a battery, holding financial energy. As the M2 money supply increases at a fast pace, AAPL is the kind of company that can roughly keep pace with inflation, or even much better.\nIn plain terms, inflation is driving up prices. Because of demand, AAPL can increase prices and capture more of that money, even if each dollar is worth a bit less. Furthermore, AAPL stock continues to appreciate, holding the value of previously invested money so that purchasing power holds.\nFor many investors, it's far better to hold AAPL as an asset than cash. As the money supply increases, every unit of \"money value\" decreases. However, if your assets can keep pace, or do better, then you can keep racing ahead of that curve. Again, AAPL is a financial battery, because it holds value.\nWrap-Up\nI've provided five reasons for AAPL's stock price inflation:\n\nMultiple Expansion (PE Ratio Increase)\nFinancial Growth (Business Efficiency)\nStock Buybacks (Financial Engineering)\nCustomer Demand (More & Better Products)\nMacro Tailwinds (Money Supply & Inflation)\n\nIn large part, we can understand AAPL's stock price increase over time in relation to supply and demand. For example, the demand for AAPL stock has gone up over time because the business is getting better but also because it continues to pump out great products. Also, with stock buybacks, there's less stock to go around, and with more money floating around, investors are chasing up AAPL's price.\nThe Future\nNow, while I think AAPL is a great company, and it's not about to collapse or die off,I don't love the price right now. I think it's fine to dollar cost average, or drip dividends. But, I'm not convinced it's time to go \"all in\" on AAPL. In part, I'm saying this because I have owned AAPL since 2016 and my cost basis is down around $29. So, I'm not selling due to capital gains taxes, but I'm not thrilled about buying either. In other words, I bring a strong bias to the table.\nIf I take a step back, I will say that I'm bullish on AAPL over the longer term, or at least for the next 5-10 years and I think investors will do just fine. The company is fantastic. My problem is really that the valuation is a bit rich. I believe there could be better times to buy than now.\nIn any case, I don't know the future since I have no crystal ball. So, I'll simply say that I'm bullish, and that each investor must consider their situation, including their goals, timeline, and the like.\nAgain, I'm bullish but I'm just holding right now, and not dripping, and not adding at these prices. And,I have absolutely zero intention of selling.\nMarketplace Launch\nIf you enjoyed this article, then please keep an eye out.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.</p>\n<p>Competitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.</p>\n<h3>Here's the bottom line</h3>\n<p>Real estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"<b>Amazon</b>\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is&nbsp;poised to be a big player&nbsp;in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day</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\">\nThis Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-29 09:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129129956","content_text":"Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.\n\n\nReal estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ:OPEN)has been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.\nDespite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.\n1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle\nThe traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.\nOpendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.\nAfter seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including Zillow Group and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.\nAccording to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.\n2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule\nWhen companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.\nFast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"\nIn other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.\n3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?\nInvestors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.\nInvestors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public.

There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0.

There's plenty of competition in the videoconferencing market, but Zoom's ease of use helped it stand out. For companies urgently going remote last year, Zoom was the path of least resistance.</p>\n<p>With Zoom becoming a necessity for many companies during the pandemic, revenue has soared. Zoom just booked its first quarter with over $1 billion of . <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> years ago, quarterly revenue was below $200 million. Zoom now has over half a million customers with more than 10 employees, and over 2,000 customers spending more than $100,000 on Zoom's products.</p>\n<p>Zoom is still reporting solid growth on a year-over-year basis. Revenue was up 54% in the latest quarter, and the company's guidance represents year-over-year growth of about 31%. But the company is reaching an inflection point. Sequential growth has been slowing for a while, and it's about to turn negative for the first time if Zoom hits its guidance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b06263d13caed734e0903faf754d7ca\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"524\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>*Q3 2022 figure is the midpoint of Zoom's revenue guidance. Chart by author. Data source: Zoom.</span></p>\n<h2>Small customers are jumping ship</h2>\n<p>Zoom is still seeing solid demand among large enterprise customers. The number of enterprise customers spending more than $1 million annually soared 77% in the latest quarter, and the number of customers spending more than $100,000 annually more than tripled. Additional products like Zoom Phone are helping to drive revenue higher among large customers.</p>\n<p>It's a different story for customers with fewer than 10 employees. Zoom attributed its lackluster guidance, which called for revenue between $1.015 billion and $1.020 billion in the fiscal third quarter, on small customers. Even at the high end of that range, revenue will be down compared to the second quarter.</p>\n<p>Small customers account for 36% of Zoom's revenue, and the company expects this part of its business to be volatile as the pandemic ends. \"[O]ur outlook assumes that our direct and channel business will continue to experience robust growth, while our online business will be a headwind in the coming quarters as smaller customers and consumers adjust to the evolving environment,\" said CFO Kelly Steckelberg during the second-quarter earnings call.</p>\n<p>Large customers are also changing their behavior. While enterprises were quick to adopt Zoom last year, they're starting to take their time. \"They're doing more complete like proof of concepts, for example, versus if you think about a year ago, they were in this sort of stage of trying to keep the lights on almost and buying very quickly,\" said Steckelberg.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F641412%2Fgallery-view.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Zoom.</span></p>\n<h2>A tough road ahead for Zoom stock</h2>\n<p>Videoconferencing software isn't going away, but it's not going to be an absolute necessity once the pandemic is over. Small customers are starting to drop Zoom, and large customers are no longer adopting Zoom with the same urgency. Enterprises are taking their time and probably considering alternatives, something that probably wasn't happening much last year.</p>\n<p>The worst-case scenario for Zoom is a period of declining revenue as some of its pandemic-era growth is unwound. Within a few quarters, revenue could start declining on a year-over-year basis. Acquisitions can help, but the core business is facing some tough headwinds.</p>\n<p>Zoom expects to produce around $4 billion of revenue this fiscal year. Revenue could very well decline next fiscal year if enterprise growth can't overcome the loss of revenue from small customers.</p>\n<p>Zoom is still worth about $90 billion after its post-earnings slump.

There's plenty of competition in the videoconferencing market, but Zoom's ease of use helped it stand out. For companies urgently going remote last year, Zoom was the path of least resistance.\nWith Zoom becoming a necessity for many companies during the pandemic, revenue has soared. Zoom just booked its first quarter with over $1 billion of . Two years ago, quarterly revenue was below $200 million. Zoom now has over half a million customers with more than 10 employees, and over 2,000 customers spending more than $100,000 on Zoom's products.\nZoom is still reporting solid growth on a year-over-year basis. Revenue was up 54% in the latest quarter, and the company's guidance represents year-over-year growth of about 31%. But the company is reaching an inflection point. Sequential growth has been slowing for a while, and it's about to turn negative for the first time if Zoom hits its guidance.\n*Q3 2022 figure is the midpoint of Zoom's revenue guidance. Chart by author. Data source: Zoom.\nSmall customers are jumping ship\nZoom is still seeing solid demand among large enterprise customers. The number of enterprise customers spending more than $1 million annually soared 77% in the latest quarter, and the number of customers spending more than $100,000 annually more than tripled. Additional products like Zoom Phone are helping to drive revenue higher among large customers.\nIt's a different story for customers with fewer than 10 employees. Zoom attributed its lackluster guidance, which called for revenue between $1.015 billion and $1.020 billion in the fiscal third quarter, on small customers. Even at the high end of that range, revenue will be down compared to the second quarter.\nSmall customers account for 36% of Zoom's revenue, and the company expects this part of its business to be volatile as the pandemic ends. \"[O]ur outlook assumes that our direct and channel business will continue to experience robust growth, while our online business will be a headwind in the coming quarters as smaller customers and consumers adjust to the evolving environment,\" said CFO Kelly Steckelberg during the second-quarter earnings call.\nLarge customers are also changing their behavior. While enterprises were quick to adopt Zoom last year, they're starting to take their time. \"They're doing more complete like proof of concepts, for example, versus if you think about a year ago, they were in this sort of stage of trying to keep the lights on almost and buying very quickly,\" said Steckelberg.\nImage source: Zoom.\nA tough road ahead for Zoom stock\nVideoconferencing software isn't going away, but it's not going to be an absolute necessity once the pandemic is over. Small customers are starting to drop Zoom, and large customers are no longer adopting Zoom with the same urgency. Enterprises are taking their time and probably considering alternatives, something that probably wasn't happening much last year.\nThe worst-case scenario for Zoom is a period of declining revenue as some of its pandemic-era growth is unwound. Within a few quarters, revenue could start declining on a year-over-year basis. Acquisitions can help, but the core business is facing some tough headwinds.\nZoom expects to produce around $4 billion of revenue this fiscal year. Revenue could very well decline next fiscal year if enterprise growth can't overcome the loss of revenue from small customers.\nZoom is still worth about $90 billion after its post-earnings slump. The price-to-sales ratio based on the full-year guidance is around 22. If Zoom starts reporting revenue declines, that premium valuation may come under some serious pressure.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887663423,"gmtCreate":1632027839762,"gmtModify":1676530689761,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"mannn","listText":"mannn","text":"mannn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887663423","repostId":"1198486138","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":690,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882009364,"gmtCreate":1631628655658,"gmtModify":1676530594540,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"damnn","listText":"damnn","text":"damnn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882009364","repostId":"1155175288","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155175288","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1631627144,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155175288?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-14 21:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EV stocks rose in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155175288","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"EV stocks rose in morning trading.Tesla,Nio,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto climbed between 0.7% and 2%.Whi","content":"<p>EV stocks rose in morning trading.Tesla,Nio,Xpeng Motors and Li Auto&nbsp;climbed between 0.7% and 2%.While&nbsp;Lucid Group fell nearly 4%&nbsp;as&nbsp;an equity research analyst at Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of the company at underweight.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df9a72b93885e07dad67e2dc86b0156a\" tg-width=\"410\" tg-height=\"483\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The tech brand has made services one of its most important growth areas.</p><p>&#34;We continue to invest in innovation across our services business, which set another all-time revenue record last quarter and performed even better than we had anticipated,&#34; CEO Tim Cook told analysts during earnings&#39; call in January.</p><p>Apple posted record revenues of $124 billion for the three months ending in December. Services revenues, which includes payments, rose 24% to a record $19.5 billion. Services gross margin was 72.4%.</p><p>&#34;The growth of Apple Pay has just been stunning. It&#39;s been absolutely stunning. And there&#39;s still obviously a lot more there to go,&#34; Cook explained. &#34;And because there&#39;s still a lot of cash in the environment. And so I think that both of these and whatever else we might do have a great future ahead.&#34;</p><p>It seems that Apple is determined to attract this money. The iPhone maker is in the process of developing a project called &#34;Breakout&#34;, which aims at replacing its Fintech partners, according to Bloomberg.</p><p>Specifically, Apple is working on payment processing technology and infrastructure for future financial products. The company wants to offer a wide range of financial products and services ranging from payment processing, financial risk assessment for loan transactions, fraud analysis, credit verification and risk and dispute management with clients.</p><p><b>Apple Is Becoming a Fintech Powerhouse</b></p><p>If the economic model of this new service remains uncertain for start-ups, the question does not arise for tech giants. Those who venture into the payment market do so primarily to retain their members and amortize their costs in other ways. According to experts, they are also attacking this market in the hope of recovering financial data on consumers, useful for developing other services.</p><p>If Apple materialized all these projects, the company would become a true fintech powerhouse.</p><p>Apple has already been present in mobile payments since 2014 and the launch of Apple Pay, which makes it possible to pay at merchants. The company also offers a peer-to-peer payment service, Apple Pay Cash, which is operated by Green Dot Bank on behalf of Apple.</p><p>Apple&#39;s Wallet app allows users to add, use, pay with their credit and debit cards, add discount vouchers, loyalty cards.</p><p>Apple&#39;s finance offensive gained momentum in February with the launch of a game-changing product in payment services.</p><p><b>Apple Pay Later?</b></p><p>The rest works like a classic contactless transaction. The Tap to Pay functionality, resulting from the takeover of the startup Mobeewave two years ago, was developed in partnership with financial institutions which will be able to offer this option to their business customers.</p><p>Stripe will be the first to offer the feature to its customers this spring, with integration with Shopify  (SHOP) - Get Shopify, Inc. Class A Report. Apple said that other payment platforms and applications are planned later this year. Apple Stores will also use this feature in the coming months.</p><p>Merchants must rely on additional hardware, such as Square&#39;s external terminal, to accept contactless credit card payments. With Tap to Pay, Apple is attacking this market head-on, or in any case offering an alternative option for small businesses, single-person sellers and other independents.</p><p>Apple specified that it will require an iPhone XS or a later model to support Tap to Pay .</p><p>Apple is also working on a subscription service for the iPhone and other hardware products, a move that could make device ownership similar to paying a monthly app fee. The service will enable users to subscribe to hardware, rather than just digital services.</p><p>Finally, the Cupertino, California-based company is working on a new product/service, called Apple Pay Later.

The tech brand has made services one of its most important growth areas.\"We continue to invest in innovation across our services business, which set another all-time revenue record last quarter and performed even better than we had anticipated,\" CEO Tim Cook told analysts during earnings' call in January.Apple posted record revenues of $124 billion for the three months ending in December. Services revenues, which includes payments, rose 24% to a record $19.5 billion. Services gross margin was 72.4%.\"The growth of Apple Pay has just been stunning. It's been absolutely stunning. And there's still obviously a lot more there to go,\" Cook explained. \"And because there's still a lot of cash in the environment. And so I think that both of these and whatever else we might do have a great future ahead.\"It seems that Apple is determined to attract this money. The iPhone maker is in the process of developing a project called \"Breakout\", which aims at replacing its Fintech partners, according to Bloomberg.Specifically, Apple is working on payment processing technology and infrastructure for future financial products. The company wants to offer a wide range of financial products and services ranging from payment processing, financial risk assessment for loan transactions, fraud analysis, credit verification and risk and dispute management with clients.Apple Is Becoming a Fintech PowerhouseIf the economic model of this new service remains uncertain for start-ups, the question does not arise for tech giants. Those who venture into the payment market do so primarily to retain their members and amortize their costs in other ways. According to experts, they are also attacking this market in the hope of recovering financial data on consumers, useful for developing other services.If Apple materialized all these projects, the company would become a true fintech powerhouse.Apple has already been present in mobile payments since 2014 and the launch of Apple Pay, which makes it possible to pay at merchants. The company also offers a peer-to-peer payment service, Apple Pay Cash, which is operated by Green Dot Bank on behalf of Apple.Apple's Wallet app allows users to add, use, pay with their credit and debit cards, add discount vouchers, loyalty cards.Apple's finance offensive gained momentum in February with the launch of a game-changing product in payment services.Apple Pay Later?The rest works like a classic contactless transaction. The Tap to Pay functionality, resulting from the takeover of the startup Mobeewave two years ago, was developed in partnership with financial institutions which will be able to offer this option to their business customers.Stripe will be the first to offer the feature to its customers this spring, with integration with Shopify  (SHOP) - Get Shopify, Inc. Class A Report. Apple said that other payment platforms and applications are planned later this year. Apple Stores will also use this feature in the coming months.Merchants must rely on additional hardware, such as Square's external terminal, to accept contactless credit card payments. With Tap to Pay, Apple is attacking this market head-on, or in any case offering an alternative option for small businesses, single-person sellers and other independents.Apple specified that it will require an iPhone XS or a later model to support Tap to Pay .Apple is also working on a subscription service for the iPhone and other hardware products, a move that could make device ownership similar to paying a monthly app fee. The service will enable users to subscribe to hardware, rather than just digital services.Finally, the Cupertino, California-based company is working on a new product/service, called Apple Pay Later. Basically, a kind of loan that could be repaid in at most four installments without interest for short-term transactions and with interest for long-term transactions.The firm introduced Tap to Pay functionality. The concept is very simple: instead of using a dedicated payment terminal, the iPhone lends its NFC chip to authenticate the transaction. The iPhone screen displays the amount to be paid and a small NFC logo to indicate to the customer where to affix their iPhone, Apple Watch or NFC-compatible bank card.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":909,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091190045,"gmtCreate":1643793782623,"gmtModify":1676533857021,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof","listText":"oof","text":"oof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091190045","repostId":"2208499357","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2208499357","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock

A summary from the Ways and Means Committee showed that the plan calls for top corporate and individual tax rates of 26.5% and 39.6%, respectively.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005530426,"gmtCreate":1642341804288,"gmtModify":1676533702556,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof","listText":"oof","text":"oof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005530426","repostId":"2202208328","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9003520895,"gmtCreate":1641013287916,"gmtModify":1676533565120,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof","listText":"oof","text":"oof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9003520895","repostId":"2195412163","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2195412163","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1640954142,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2195412163?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-12-31 20:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"As the Sun Sets on 2021, These 5 Stocks Are My Highest-Conviction Holdings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2195412163","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Start the new year off on solid footing with these companies that are not only built to last but also poised to keep growing.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Are you still on the hunt for some core long-term holdings to start the new year?

Elon Musk is one of them who exhibits the strongest hold in the finance industry. There are bundles of reasons to prove it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f9fb1d6735f052fb25382f29efaff2d\" tg-width=\"685\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Surveys do claim that he has a noticeable impact on the crypto market simultaneously as well. This indicates that there might be various situations that contribute to transforming this man into a game-changer for the entire finance industry.</p>\n<p><b>Who Is Elon Musk?</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is one of the world-famous entrepreneurs and the founder of many companies. He gained incredible wealth through the brand of his ever-spoken car, Tesla. Also, Elon Musk is now known as one of the influential people leading the global market. Recently, he was alsoreportedto be the richest person in the world.</p>\n<p><b>A Glance into Elon Musk's Early Years</b></p>\n<p>Undeniably, Elon Musk has been a high achiever in the world of finance as well as inventions. But it’s no surprise that every successful person needs a consistent level of support and encouragement for personal and professional growth. Therefore, it makes sense to know about what Elon’s life must have been since he was a child.</p>\n<p>Elon’s early years were way different from his current life scenarios. He was born in 1971 in the South African city, Pretoria. He was brought up in the same city. He was always a bright child endeavoring to try new things. His father was a South African while his mother was a Canadian. They nurtured him with care as he was the brightest of all his siblings. This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.</p>\n<p><b>The challenges Elon faced</b></p>\n<p>Elon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.</p>\n<p>Instead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.</p>\n<p><b>Education</b></p>\n<p>His inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.</p>\n<p>Elon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.</p>\n<p>The bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.</p>\n<p>Besides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.</p>\n<p><b>Why Elon Musk is the Most Influential</b></p>\n<p>It will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.</p>\n<p>Below are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"</p>\n<p><b>His Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value</b></p>\n<p>An average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Following the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.</p>\n<p>The value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.</p>\n<p>That was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.</p>\n<p><b>Elon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla</b></p>\n<p>This is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Later on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.</p>\n<p>Tesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.</p>\n<p><b>Pioneer in online payment systems</b></p>\n<p>In 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.</p>\n<p>With $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.</p>\n<p>All credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.</p>\n<p><b>Contributions in SpaceX</b></p>\n<p>Elon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.</p>\n<p>His prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.</p>\n<p><b>The Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers</b></p>\n<p>Elon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.</p>\n<p>His concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.</p>\n<p><b>The Boring Company</b></p>\n<p>In late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.</p>\n<p>The goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines. The aim also includes smaller tunnels.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company already had projects in progress in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C, Hawthorne, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and more areas. For the funding, Elon started to sell hats with The Boring Company as a brand. By 2017, he had sold over 40,000 hats and raised upwards of $840,000. After selling 50,000 hats, the next product was a Boring Company flamethrower. With each flamethrower priced at $500, Musk managed to raise $10 million in a matter of days.</p>\n<p>The Boring Company also sold its shares to early-stage venture capital firms, raising around $120 million that way. There were a few other sources for funds as well, with the result being the completion of two tuners by February 2020. A high-speed transit system is also in the future plans for the Boring Company, so we’d have to stay alert for more updates.</p>\n<p><b>A Few Secrets of Elon Musk’s Success</b></p>\n<p>Many people have wondered just why Elon has been so successful in his efforts. He has revealed some of his secrets to success in a few interviews. Let’s now discuss the crux of these lessons:</p>\n<p><b>Money Is Not the Goal</b></p>\n<p>For most entrepreneurs and career builders today, the initial aim at least is making as much money as possible. This isn’t necessarily a negative goal; after all, we have to work for necessities and in order to maintain a certain lifestyle.</p>\n<p>However, Elon says that his business attitude does not have money as the centre of all activity. In fact, in his interviews, he stated that he wasn’t aware of exactly how much money he had. He didn’t have a certain amount in several bank accounts; rather, he has some votes in companies like SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. The marketplace then would place value on these votes, i.e., his ownership shares in these companies.</p>\n<p>Elon also states that there’s nothing wrong in pursuing wealth, provided that the process is ethical. However, he does maintain that this pursuit is not what motivates him. This is the sort of approach that seems to work well for him and his companies so far.</p>\n<p>Tesla, his company that produces mostly electric cars, has seen particularly positive progress. If we look at how it's performed of late, the Tesla shares have shot up in value and are now worth over $700 billion. For a bit of perspective, this value is more than that of General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, and BMW combined. With such success and wealth, it’s no wonder that the actor Robert Downy Jr. used Elon as the inspiration for his portrayal of Iron Man.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, Elon has also said in an interview that he doesn’t really expect to be rich at the end of his life. He plans to spend a large chunk of his money on a Mars base. The project might take up all his life earnings, and he is mentally prepared for that to happen. In fact, he regards this as the best way to go, instead of passing away with billions still left in his bank accounts.</p>\n<p><b>Making Sure to Pursue Your Passion</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of the Mars base, this endeavor is what Elon believed to be the ultimate success. He feels that since we all want the future to be more exciting, developed, and better in every way, we have to make the required efforts starting today.</p>\n<p>His company SpaceX is a great example of such efforts. Elon set up this company due to a sense of frustration and ambition, as he felt that the space program in the U.S. wasn’t ambitious enough. His expectations were to go beyond the Earth atmosphere on a regular basis; putting people on Mars, developing a Moon base, and working on regular missions to orbit.</p>\n<p>Elon didn’t settle for being disappointed, but started working on the “Mars Oasis Mission” when he was able to. This mission’s aim was to get a greenhouse to Mars. While the greenhouse was a small one, the main idea was to initiate excitement about space in the public once again. Another motivation here was to convince the U.S. government to allocate a higher budget to NASA.</p>\n<p>During these endeavors, however, Elon realized that the issue of space exploration was more related to finances rather than public interest. He saw that the technology required was a lot more pricey than absolutely necessary. From there, he started his SpaceX business, which is the most cost-effective rocket-launching venture so far.</p>\n<p>Again, the main goal was not to make as much money as he could, but to get a person on the planet Mars. Elon doesn’t&nbsp;really regard his effort as that of an investor who wants to make the most out of his investment. Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.</p>\n<p>Elon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.</p>\n<p>While there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.</p>\n<p><b>Taking the Chance to Think Big</b></p>\n<p>The discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.</p>\n<p>Just a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.</p>\n<p>Do we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.</p>\n<p>Elon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood. This inspiration turned into ambition as he grew older. During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.</p>\n<p>As a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change. They’d also rather work on their existing products and not imagine something new and unique unless they’ve covered all their bases first.</p>\n<p>Keeping all this in mind, Elon’s advice is to work on what will matter in the future. In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).</p>\n<p><b>Getting Ready for Risks</b></p>\n<p>With big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.</p>\n<p>For example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.</p>\n<p>His plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest. However, this phase was also the darkest one as far as his business life was concerned.</p>\n<p>While he didn’t have a lot of new businesses, this was the part when they were experiencing several problems. SpaceX was launched thrice and failed each time. Tesla was facing all sorts of issues with their design, supply chains, and production.</p>\n<p>Elon also faced a financial crisis on top of everything else, and had a difficult choice. He could either keep living comfortably and let his businesses die, or he could invest it all and give his ideas a chance to live.</p>\n<p>We all know what happened next; Elon took the risk and poured in the money he meant for himself. He also got into debt, and ended up borrowing money from his friends just for some living expenses.</p>\n<p>Bankruptcy was very much a possibility here, but Elon states that he wasn’t too frightened by it. He said that if his kids had to attend a government school instead of a private one, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. After all, Elon himself was a government school kid.</p>\n<p><b>Ignore Those Who Criticize</b></p>\n<p>While bankruptcy didn't make Elon disappointed, he did say that he was shocked by how certain critics interfered when he was struggling already. Several blog sites even had a death watch on Tesla, and other people thought that Elon himself was too arrogant to deserve success.</p>\n<p>However, Elon rejects the idea that he or his teams were ever arrogant. He only said that they were aspiring to achieve a certain goal, not that they would definitely get there. Therefore, his next secret of success is not to listen to the critics; at least, not the ones who delight in your possible failure.</p>\n<p>Elon has said that neither he nor anyone else really believed that Tesla or SpaceX will make a lot of money at the point of setting up. However, as we’ve covered above, his aim isn't to make money anyway, but to solve problems. He ignored those who were against him and went forward with his plans.</p>\n<p>Overall, not listening to critics and naysayers made everything much simpler. He was then able to focus on his beliefs and what really mattered.</p>\n<p>So far, the market seems to be appreciating Elon’s efforts. In October 2014, SpaceX was valued at around $100 billion by Morgan Stanley, the investment bank.</p>\n<p><b>The Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is famed for many things; being a workaholic is among them. He has worked 120 hours a week to ensure that his companies’ production stays on track. However, he also makes sure to enjoy his life along the way. His efforts are not without controversy, nor has he always stayed out of trouble. There have also been more problems along the way, not the least of which was the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down Tesla production in San Francisco.</p>\n<p>Despite all this and some erratic behavior, Elon seems to have come out stronger than ever. He remains an ambitious entrepreneur, and shows no signs of slowing down. With so much success and liberating ideas for moving forward, he’s certainly an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs, investors, and thinkers.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Elon Musk is One of the Most Influential People in Finance Markets</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\">\nWhy Elon Musk is One of the Most Influential People in Finance Markets\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Benzinga </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-09-21 09:18</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Numerous people in every industry leave a mark among others. The trends as well as people in the finance industry create a bigger impact on the lives of countless people, but it doesn't stop here. The financial decisions of influential people often affect the way their followers make their own financial decisions, including those who are looking for investment opportunities regarding&nbsp;apartments for rent. Elon Musk is one of them who exhibits the strongest hold in the finance industry. There are bundles of reasons to prove it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f9fb1d6735f052fb25382f29efaff2d\" tg-width=\"685\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Surveys do claim that he has a noticeable impact on the crypto market simultaneously as well. This indicates that there might be various situations that contribute to transforming this man into a game-changer for the entire finance industry.</p>\n<p><b>Who Is Elon Musk?</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is one of the world-famous entrepreneurs and the founder of many companies. He gained incredible wealth through the brand of his ever-spoken car, Tesla. Also, Elon Musk is now known as one of the influential people leading the global market. Recently, he was alsoreportedto be the richest person in the world.</p>\n<p><b>A Glance into Elon Musk's Early Years</b></p>\n<p>Undeniably, Elon Musk has been a high achiever in the world of finance as well as inventions. But it’s no surprise that every successful person needs a consistent level of support and encouragement for personal and professional growth. Therefore, it makes sense to know about what Elon’s life must have been since he was a child.</p>\n<p>Elon’s early years were way different from his current life scenarios. He was born in 1971 in the South African city, Pretoria. He was brought up in the same city. He was always a bright child endeavoring to try new things. His father was a South African while his mother was a Canadian. They nurtured him with care as he was the brightest of all his siblings. This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.</p>\n<p><b>The challenges Elon faced</b></p>\n<p>Elon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.</p>\n<p>Instead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.</p>\n<p><b>Education</b></p>\n<p>His inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.</p>\n<p>Elon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.</p>\n<p>The bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.</p>\n<p>Besides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.</p>\n<p><b>Why Elon Musk is the Most Influential</b></p>\n<p>It will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.</p>\n<p>Below are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"</p>\n<p><b>His Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value</b></p>\n<p>An average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Following the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.</p>\n<p>The value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.</p>\n<p>That was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.</p>\n<p><b>Elon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla</b></p>\n<p>This is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Later on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.</p>\n<p>Tesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.</p>\n<p><b>Pioneer in online payment systems</b></p>\n<p>In 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.</p>\n<p>With $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.</p>\n<p>All credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.</p>\n<p><b>Contributions in SpaceX</b></p>\n<p>Elon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.</p>\n<p>His prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.</p>\n<p><b>The Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers</b></p>\n<p>Elon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.</p>\n<p>His concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.</p>\n<p><b>The Boring Company</b></p>\n<p>In late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.</p>\n<p>The goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines.

Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.</p>\n<p>Elon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.</p>\n<p>While there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.</p>\n<p><b>Taking the Chance to Think Big</b></p>\n<p>The discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.</p>\n<p>Just a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.</p>\n<p>Do we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.</p>\n<p>Elon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood. This inspiration turned into ambition as he grew older. During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.</p>\n<p>As a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change. They’d also rather work on their existing products and not imagine something new and unique unless they’ve covered all their bases first.</p>\n<p>Keeping all this in mind, Elon’s advice is to work on what will matter in the future. In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).</p>\n<p><b>Getting Ready for Risks</b></p>\n<p>With big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.</p>\n<p>For example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.</p>\n<p>His plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest. However, this phase was also the darkest one as far as his business life was concerned.</p>\n<p>While he didn’t have a lot of new businesses, this was the part when they were experiencing several problems. SpaceX was launched thrice and failed each time. Tesla was facing all sorts of issues with their design, supply chains, and production.</p>\n<p>Elon also faced a financial crisis on top of everything else, and had a difficult choice. He could either keep living comfortably and let his businesses die, or he could invest it all and give his ideas a chance to live.</p>\n<p>We all know what happened next; Elon took the risk and poured in the money he meant for himself. He also got into debt, and ended up borrowing money from his friends just for some living expenses.</p>\n<p>Bankruptcy was very much a possibility here, but Elon states that he wasn’t too frightened by it. He said that if his kids had to attend a government school instead of a private one, it wouldn’t be the end of the world. After all, Elon himself was a government school kid.</p>\n<p><b>Ignore Those Who Criticize</b></p>\n<p>While bankruptcy didn't make Elon disappointed, he did say that he was shocked by how certain critics interfered when he was struggling already. Several blog sites even had a death watch on Tesla, and other people thought that Elon himself was too arrogant to deserve success.</p>\n<p>However, Elon rejects the idea that he or his teams were ever arrogant. He only said that they were aspiring to achieve a certain goal, not that they would definitely get there. Therefore, his next secret of success is not to listen to the critics; at least, not the ones who delight in your possible failure.</p>\n<p>Elon has said that neither he nor anyone else really believed that Tesla or SpaceX will make a lot of money at the point of setting up. However, as we’ve covered above, his aim isn't to make money anyway, but to solve problems. He ignored those who were against him and went forward with his plans.</p>\n<p>Overall, not listening to critics and naysayers made everything much simpler. He was then able to focus on his beliefs and what really mattered.</p>\n<p>So far, the market seems to be appreciating Elon’s efforts. In October 2014, SpaceX was valued at around $100 billion by Morgan Stanley, the investment bank.</p>\n<p><b>The Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Elon Musk is famed for many things; being a workaholic is among them. He has worked 120 hours a week to ensure that his companies’ production stays on track. However, he also makes sure to enjoy his life along the way. His efforts are not without controversy, nor has he always stayed out of trouble. There have also been more problems along the way, not the least of which was the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down Tesla production in San Francisco.</p>\n<p>Despite all this and some erratic behavior, Elon seems to have come out stronger than ever. He remains an ambitious entrepreneur, and shows no signs of slowing down. With so much success and liberating ideas for moving forward, he’s certainly an inspiration to all budding entrepreneurs, investors, and thinkers.</p>\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1150093379","content_text":"Numerous people in every industry leave a mark among others. The trends as well as people in the finance industry create a bigger impact on the lives of countless people, but it doesn't stop here. The financial decisions of influential people often affect the way their followers make their own financial decisions, including those who are looking for investment opportunities regarding apartments for rent. Elon Musk is one of them who exhibits the strongest hold in the finance industry. There are bundles of reasons to prove it.\n\nSurveys do claim that he has a noticeable impact on the crypto market simultaneously as well. This indicates that there might be various situations that contribute to transforming this man into a game-changer for the entire finance industry.\nWho Is Elon Musk?\nElon Musk is one of the world-famous entrepreneurs and the founder of many companies. He gained incredible wealth through the brand of his ever-spoken car, Tesla. Also, Elon Musk is now known as one of the influential people leading the global market. Recently, he was alsoreportedto be the richest person in the world.\nA Glance into Elon Musk's Early Years\nUndeniably, Elon Musk has been a high achiever in the world of finance as well as inventions. But it’s no surprise that every successful person needs a consistent level of support and encouragement for personal and professional growth. Therefore, it makes sense to know about what Elon’s life must have been since he was a child.\nElon’s early years were way different from his current life scenarios. He was born in 1971 in the South African city, Pretoria. He was brought up in the same city. He was always a bright child endeavoring to try new things. His father was a South African while his mother was a Canadian. They nurtured him with care as he was the brightest of all his siblings. This was when he started receiving encouragement and support from his parents.\nThe challenges Elon faced\nElon mostly lived with his father after his parent's divorce, but he managed to get hold of his mental health. He was a child with huge ambitions. Having a keen focus on his studies, he was often bullied as a bookworm by the other children. This did not divert his goals, though. The ever-growing spark in his personality was proof that he accepted bullying challenges right from the start of his success.\nInstead of crying over how others used to bully him, he decided to take his studious personality as an opportunity to explore more about what interests him the most. Based on this decision, Elon identified his level of creativity, and became unstoppable in achieving milestones throughout his life.\nEducation\nHis inclination towards education tells why Elon Musk is the most influential person today. Besides, he always associated himself with the medium of technology. That is the reason why he was fully aware of programming when he was just 10.\nElon also designed a video game in a very early period of his life as a student. He was later enrolled in a Canadian university called Queen's University. The university is situated in the Canadian state called Ontario, where he studied before moving to the U.S.\nThe bright student was shifted to the University of Pennsylvania after completing his two years of education at Queen's University. He holds a degree in Economics and Physics. Both degrees helped him become the person that most of us think can be the reason behind his influential nature.\nBesides, he was supposed to attend his classes at Stanford University in 1995, but that never happened. He was of the only view of establishing his business. This thought helped him turn into a striving entrepreneur.\nWhy Elon Musk is the Most Influential\nIt will be positive to say that he is a never-ending charm in the wealth circle for the world to talk about. He is leading the brains operating in the finance market, and many legit reasons prove this statement true.\nBelow are some of his most significant achievements answering the question, \"how did Elon Musk influence the world?\"\nHis Impact on the Surge in Cryptocurrency Value\nAn average consumer might not fully understand the impact of a company’s decision on the financial market, but that's what happened here. Tesla did announce that it is going to purchase some significant amount, around $1.5 billion equivalent worth of Bitcoins.\nFollowing the decision, the company made an impactful decision: the decision involved how the payment is going to be made. It made a couple of announcements in terms of selecting cryptocurrency as the method of payment.\nThe value of cryptocurrency keeps changing every other day, and that was the case at that time too. However, it occurred differently. Users started taking more interest in purchasing and investing in the Bitcoin currency after the big announcement of Tesla car makers.\nThat was the point when the market trend of Bitcoin suddenly changed. The price was on the hike as everyone was taking interest in Bitcoin purchases after the announcement by Elon. Therefore, it directly refers to the authority of Elon Musk as a strong business figure.\nElon Started His Success Story as the Co-Founder of Tesla\nThis is the primary account of his life and possibly the most significant achievement. He gained enhanced success and fame as he started giving it more funding back in 2004. Besides, he started collaborating with some renowned engineers forming a solid foundation for Tesla.\nLater on, he was left alone as the only person managing his business after experiencing personal clashes among his partners. The company produced an electric vehicle with the name Tesla Roadster giving Tesla undeniable fame. It turned into a successful automotive brand along with its other contributions including solar energy production.\nTesla has always remained in the spotlight with Elon’s dedicated contributions in terms of its progression. He constantly kept outperforming his counterparts in the industry by producing better and reinforced cars over the years till today. His electric cars gained imperial fame telling why Elon Musk is the most influential businessman.\nPioneer in online payment systems\nIn 1995, Elon partnered with Kimbal Musk, his brother to start his own business in the form of Zip2 Corporation. This was his very first company and the launch was a strong step towards the achievement of his success. Though his business dealt with providing a city guide for popular magazines (Chicago Tribune and the New York Times), it led to an event worth discussing: Elon sold Zip2 Corporation to one of the divisions of Compaq Computer Corporation.\nWith $307 million on hand and $34 million in the form of shares, Elon was fortunate enough to utilize the money in launching a new venture, X.com. That said, he successfully implemented his vision of making a statement in the finance industry. It was the origin of X.com because of which the concept of online payment systems came into existence. Elon successfully materialized his concept in the shape of PayPal.\nAll credits go in Elon's bucket as he founded the e-payment service even when he was not the current CEO. He was expelled from the firm after some time but the founder's value remained intact.\nContributions in SpaceX\nElon has made many commitments and plans over the years with impactful connections making sure about the future space ventures. Also, he planned a collaboration trip with NASA to Mars by 2025. Therefore, he has been consistent about his planning.\nHis prime efforts toward building reusable rockets are priceless. They refer to less-costly travel options to Mars in the shape of Falcon 9. Besides, the spacecraft has been engineered to perfection and has carried out successful outer space missions.\nThe Idea of Making Phone Calls from Computers\nElon’s personal achievements also led the world to know about the level of creativity he had. In 1997, he was always concerned about enabling phone calls through computers. That gave him a chance to try out this opportunity.\nHis concept was to connect conventional computer machines with landlines to save a considerable amount of time and effort. Hence, his efforts proved in the shape of its practical implementation. Users could then access a company's contact online through a computer. Besides, this concept took the form of call centers that we see running campaigns around the world.\nThe Boring Company\nIn late 2016, Elon founded The Boring Company. This company is based on tunnel and infrastructure construction. The premise for this project was that the current traffic state is simply not acceptable, especially since there’s so much unused space beneath roadways. Elon's idea here was that it’s not necessary to travel above the ground.\nThe goal of this company is to speed up production and reduce tunneling costs by creating and using high-powered boring machines. The aim also includes smaller tunnels.\nIn 2020, the company already had projects in progress in Las Vegas, Washington, D.C, Hawthorne, Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and more areas. For the funding, Elon started to sell hats with The Boring Company as a brand. By 2017, he had sold over 40,000 hats and raised upwards of $840,000. After selling 50,000 hats, the next product was a Boring Company flamethrower. With each flamethrower priced at $500, Musk managed to raise $10 million in a matter of days.\nThe Boring Company also sold its shares to early-stage venture capital firms, raising around $120 million that way. There were a few other sources for funds as well, with the result being the completion of two tuners by February 2020. A high-speed transit system is also in the future plans for the Boring Company, so we’d have to stay alert for more updates.\nA Few Secrets of Elon Musk’s Success\nMany people have wondered just why Elon has been so successful in his efforts. He has revealed some of his secrets to success in a few interviews. Let’s now discuss the crux of these lessons:\nMoney Is Not the Goal\nFor most entrepreneurs and career builders today, the initial aim at least is making as much money as possible. This isn’t necessarily a negative goal; after all, we have to work for necessities and in order to maintain a certain lifestyle.\nHowever, Elon says that his business attitude does not have money as the centre of all activity. In fact, in his interviews, he stated that he wasn’t aware of exactly how much money he had. He didn’t have a certain amount in several bank accounts; rather, he has some votes in companies like SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. The marketplace then would place value on these votes, i.e., his ownership shares in these companies.\nElon also states that there’s nothing wrong in pursuing wealth, provided that the process is ethical. However, he does maintain that this pursuit is not what motivates him. This is the sort of approach that seems to work well for him and his companies so far.\nTesla, his company that produces mostly electric cars, has seen particularly positive progress. If we look at how it's performed of late, the Tesla shares have shot up in value and are now worth over $700 billion. For a bit of perspective, this value is more than that of General Motors, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Ford, Ferrari, and BMW combined. With such success and wealth, it’s no wonder that the actor Robert Downy Jr. used Elon as the inspiration for his portrayal of Iron Man.\nInterestingly, Elon has also said in an interview that he doesn’t really expect to be rich at the end of his life. He plans to spend a large chunk of his money on a Mars base. The project might take up all his life earnings, and he is mentally prepared for that to happen. In fact, he regards this as the best way to go, instead of passing away with billions still left in his bank accounts.\nMaking Sure to Pursue Your Passion\nSpeaking of the Mars base, this endeavor is what Elon believed to be the ultimate success. He feels that since we all want the future to be more exciting, developed, and better in every way, we have to make the required efforts starting today.\nHis company SpaceX is a great example of such efforts. Elon set up this company due to a sense of frustration and ambition, as he felt that the space program in the U.S. wasn’t ambitious enough. His expectations were to go beyond the Earth atmosphere on a regular basis; putting people on Mars, developing a Moon base, and working on regular missions to orbit.\nElon didn’t settle for being disappointed, but started working on the “Mars Oasis Mission” when he was able to. This mission’s aim was to get a greenhouse to Mars. While the greenhouse was a small one, the main idea was to initiate excitement about space in the public once again. Another motivation here was to convince the U.S. government to allocate a higher budget to NASA.\nDuring these endeavors, however, Elon realized that the issue of space exploration was more related to finances rather than public interest. He saw that the technology required was a lot more pricey than absolutely necessary. From there, he started his SpaceX business, which is the most cost-effective rocket-launching venture so far.\nAgain, the main goal was not to make as much money as he could, but to get a person on the planet Mars. Elon doesn’t really regard his effort as that of an investor who wants to make the most out of his investment. Rather, his work is that of an engineer, and the passion to solve pressing technical problems is what motivates him to get up every morning.\nElon also keeps in mind that every business hurdle he overcomes will also help those who are trying to deal with the same issues. This is why, in 2014, he announced that all of Tesla’s patents were going to be opened up. With these patents, electric vehicles can become widespread and easier to make all over the world.\nWhile there are certain conditions linked to this open-source philosophy, the fact remains that this move will help us all make more environmentally-friendly vehicles. Again, the main goal is not to have Tesla become a monopoly and charge a premium for electric cars. Rather, it is to help the people have easier and cheaper access to vehicles that won’t destroy the planet so quickly.\nTaking the Chance to Think Big\nThe discussion so far has shown us just how big Elon’s ideas are. What’s even more impressive is that he’s not afraid to think about them and works towards the implementation of these ideas. Some might even label such ideas as being too audacious and even ludicrous, but Elon has proven them wrong.\nJust a few of the ideas we usually link to Elon Musk include revolutionizing the global car industry, having access to Mars, building extremely fast trains within vacuum tunnels, changing the battery and solar power industries, and integrating artificial intelligence into the human brain.\nDo we see a pattern emerging here? All these ideas and projects are futuristic, embedded in advanced technology, and even fantastical in nature. Some of Elon’s ideas and dreams are almost like concepts from a science fiction magazine back in the 1980s.\nElon actually was inspired by the movies and books in the sci-fi genre that he enjoyed in his childhood.

During his climb to success, he got the impression that most companies had very low ambitions, which had an adverse effect on their incentive structures.\nAs a result, many businesses were operating in an incrementalist system, which means that they aimed for only modest improvements and took a long time to get there. Elon noted that if someone was the CEO or owner of a large company and wasted time in improving, they won’t be taking the blame. They’ll only shift the responsibility on the suppliers, workers, or some other subordinate party.\nOn the other hand, Elon also noted that if someone was brave and wanted to go for a breakthrough innovation or improvement, they would take all of the responsibility as well. If the bold idea didn’t work out, the CEO will almost surely be fired. This is why so many companies would only focus on small development steps rather than going for major innovations that have the potential to bring about major change.

In his personal hierarchy, Elon himself wants to fast-forward a global transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to more planet-friendly and long-lasting alternatives. Next, he wants to work upon colonizing Mars and possibly making human life possible across planets. This is to ensure that humanity survives for much longer than the predicted time now (with fossil fuels running out and the planet heating up).\nGetting Ready for Risks\nWith big ideas come big risks, and Elon says that one has to be ready for them. He has dealt with some huge risks himself, proving that he has the skin to win the game.\nFor example, in 2002, he sold his holdings in Zip2 and PayPal. These were his first ventures, and he was in his early thirties with around 200 million dollars to his name.\nHis plan at this point was to invest half the money in business and live on the rest.

That dynamic could be amplified this week ahead of \"quadruple witching,\" the simultaneous expiration Friday of individual stock options, stock-index options, stock-index futures and single-stock futures.</p>\n<p>Options are financial instruments that give the holder the right but not the obligation to buy, in the case of a call option, or sell, in the case of a put option, the underlying asset at a set price by a certain time.</p>\n<p>\"Almost like clockwork, over the past six months the S&amp;P 500 has fallen in the week leading into OpEx, so the risk is we see this flow repeat and come into play this week, which could mean weakness into Friday's expiry -- although perhaps it's all too obvious now,\" said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, in a Monday note. OpEx is trader slang for options expiration.</p>\n<p>One popular explanation of the dynamic requires briefly translating some options lingo: Delta measures how much an options price is expected to change for ever $1 move in the price of the underlying asset. Gamma measures the speed of the change in an options delta.</p>\n<p>The Friday expiration \"should get some focus because the talk is market makers are long gamma, and this has had the effect of reducing volatility,\" Weston wrote. Effectively, market makers who have sold options are taking positions in the underlying stocks or other instruments to hedge their market exposure.</p>\n<p>\"When this gamma rolls off the market, it typically means the index is free to move as it should, as market makers have less position risk to hedge,\" Weston said.</p>\n<p>Bloomberg previously noted bouts of market weakness ahead of the expiration of monthly stock options, which occurs on the third Friday of the contract month. The report observed that some analysts had tied bouts of weakness across equity markets in the days ahead of the monthly options expirations in February, April, June, July and August.</p>\n<p>Heading into Friday's quadruple witching -- a convergence that occurs once every quarter and is typically associated with the potential for increased volatility and high trading volume -- stocks were stumbling again. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.6% on Tuesday, leaving the large-cap benchmark down nearly 2% in the month to date. The S&amp;P 500 has fallen in six of the last seven sessions, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has declined in nine of the past 11 sessions.</p>\n<p>Quadruple witching can make for choppy trading because \"so many things are coming off at once, and firms unwinding positions versus each other and versus their stocks,\" said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, in a phone interview.</p>\n<p>That activity, combined with a lack of fresh trading catalysts, could continue to make for choppy price action in coming sessions, he said.</p>\n<p>While there was some immediate reaction to a softer-than-expected inflation report Tuesday, the data didn't significantly change market expectations.

The stock price keeps going up and up. Let's find out why.</p>\n<p>Here's how the article plays out. First, I discuss Multiple Expansion. Second, I review Financial Growth. Third, I investigate Stock Buybacks. Fourth, I dive into Customer Demand. Lastly, I poke a bit at Macro Tailwinds.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #1 Multiple Expansion</b></p>\n<p>I'm specifically talking about the price to earnings ratio or \"PE Ratio\" going higher. It's worth pausing for a moment to really think about thedefinition:</p>\n<blockquote>\n The price to earnings ratio (PE Ratio) is the measure of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share.\n <b>PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share</b>. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>I've highlighted the essential point which is that stock prices go up because of investor demand. I'll talk more about this in a short while. For now, just pretend that if AAPL stock supply was held steady, the price would still go up over time as demand for the stock increases.</p>\n<p>Now, with PE Ratio firmly in mind, consider the following as proof of investor demand over time:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53093fc4b47352993f2204cd5c7b9b3c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">This is a 10-year view. Clearly, buying almost any time before 2020 would have been intelligent given this rearview mirror look. And, specifically, just look at 2013 and 2016 where the PE Ratio was about 10.<i>Incredible.</i></p>\n<p>Now, take a look at the stock price:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cdb9e5708eb4edfa2af3510768f450f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">No surprise, but the rise in PE Ratio lines up rather well with AAPL's stock price. The run from 2020 into 2021 has been quite satisfactory considering the drop in the PE Ratio from 40 down to 29. The forward PE Ratio is down around 27.</p>\n<p>In short, here's been a big swing up from the PE Ratio between 10 and 20 a few years ago through now, where we're seeing the PE Ratio hitting 30 to 40.</p>\n<p>To bring this full circle, the PE Ratio over 10 years tells us a simple story. AAPL's stock price has gone up because of investor demand. While that's \"obvious\", keep in mind that if we isolate this demand, it tells us that investors have been willing to pay relatively more for the profits that AAPL generates. Again, I'm strictly isolating demand for now. There's more to cover, of course. This is merely one piece of the pie.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #2 Financial Growth</b></p>\n<p>AAPL is a great business. Just take a look.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e1972b5f06e3d39c33e744849acae3d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Data by YCharts</p>\n<p>I've picked some growth metrics. Clearly, Revenue, Net Income, and Cash From Operations over the past 10 years have improved. That's impressive growth, without even looking at the billions and billions in real money pouring into the business.</p>\n<p>I've also included Profit Margin in the picture. I did this for two reasons. First, it shows that it's not really necessary for AAPL to do an amazing job with profit margins. You don't need growth in all metrics to have tremendous overall growth, which is then reflected in the stock price.</p>\n<p>Second, the Profit Margin isn't shrinking.<i>It's almost like a heartbeat</i>, up and down, quarter after quarter per the cycle of the business. Again, the essential point is that you don't need 100% success with all business metrics to produce incredible stock price gains.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #3 Stock Buybacks</b></p>\n<p>Financial engineering has a bad reputation because there's an implication that it's used to hide flaws in a business. But,the definition is rather neutral.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Financial engineering is the use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineering uses tools and knowledge from the fields of computer science, statistics, economics, and applied mathematics to address current financial issues as well as to devise new and innovative financial products.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, that being said, perhaps some a bit \"dark\" is happening with AAPL with relation to financial engineering. For example,CNBC said this in 2019:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Apple's aggressive use of its copious cash resources to\n <b>repurchase its shares at modest valuations</b>in recent years has shown the power of buybacks for a maturing company in a growth lull. And, for Apple, if not the typical company, long-term shareholders have benefited without compromising the company's hiring or spending on capital investment.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n The slowdown in iPhone unit sales in the past couple of years has restrained Apple's overall growth since its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2015. In fact, net income this fiscal year is projected to be almost exactly equal to what Apple booked four years earlier.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>While this is meant to slander AAPL a bit, just scroll back up in this article and look at the PE Ratio of AAPL from 2011 to 2019. Looks like smart buying when the PE is up to 25, 30, and higher. I'm not saying that AAPL was supremely undervalued, but for many years, the buybacks were at least rational given the valuation. At a minimum,<i>it doesn't appear that AAPL was hiding anything</i>.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, this activity doesn't just mop up newly issued shares (i.e., options and stock-based compensation) that are often used to enrich management, and the like. See for yourself.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/50c844329e373b8e3b48818adfc718c2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Data by YCharts</p>\n<p>And, in case you were wondering,Warren Buffett has largely agreedwith AAPL's buyback activity:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Berkshire's investment in Apple vividly illustrates the power of repurchases. We began buying Apple stock late in 2016 and by early July 2018, owned slightly more than one billion Apple shares (split-adjusted). Saying that, I'm referencing the investment held in Berkshire's general account and am excluding a very small and separately-managed holding of Apple shares that was subsequently sold. When we finished our purchases in mid-2018, Berkshire's general account owned 5.2% of Apple.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Our cost for that stake was $36 billion. Since then, we have both enjoyed regular dividends, averaging about $775 million annually, and have also - in 2020 - pocketed an additional $11 billion by selling a small portion of our position.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Despite that sale - voila! - Berkshire now owns 5.4% of Apple. That increase was costless to us, coming about because Apple has continuously repurchased its shares, thereby substantially shrinking the number it now has outstanding.\n</blockquote>\n<p>When a company buys back its own stock, your ownership in that business increases. The \"secret\" is that the company needs to be undervalued or fairly valued so that every dollar spent on buybacks is accretive, i.e., like spending $1.00 but getting $1.10 in value. The sin of buybacks will manifest when every $1.00 used only generates let's say $0.80 of actual value. Just like an ordinary investor,<i>what you buy and when you buy will determine your results</i>.</p>\n<p>So, again, coming back full circle, AAPL has gone up because of buybacks and related financial engineering. You might agree or disagree with this activity, versus let's say, increasing the dividend. Nevertheless, buybacks have contributed to AAPL's stock price increase.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #4 Customer Demand</b></p>\n<p>I previously mentioned demand but that was in relation to the stock itself. However, all stock represents ownership in a real business. We must never forget that truth.</p>\n<p>And, AAPL certainly hasn't slowed down much, at least in the bigger picture. Here's a peek at what's been released just in 2020 and 2021:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccfbe6990299287b18bf36930608c7a9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"751\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:Wikipedia</p>\n<p>Old products getting refreshed, new products launching, new generations of products, new form factors, new services, and so on, and so forth. While it might sometimes seem that AAPL isn't innovating much, the reality is that this company keeps evolving and adapting.</p>\n<p>Again, it might seem like AAPL is \"just a phone company\" but consider the bigger picture:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db5806e4fbcb9b2f3cc7083a8eb0e207\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:MacRumors</p>\n<p>Of course, like you, I see loads of iPhone sales. But, I see growth in tablets, wearables, services, computers, and much more. Phones are very important, maybe even still extremely important, yet the point remains. AAPL products, including the iPhone, continue to be in demand. Therefore, revenue continues to grow, and profits continue to flood into the business.</p>\n<p>In short, there is demand for products and services, so the company makes a ton of money, and then investors want a piece of the action. The result is obvious. The stock price goes up because the business is selling products that people want. Investors see that in many ways and bid up the price.</p>\n<p><b>Reason #5 Macro Tailwinds</b></p>\n<p>This is rather interesting:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c09f0ffa8c19221d2084e4008748c70\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:ZeroHedge</p>\n<p>Along with this comment:</p>\n<blockquote>\n ...since the outbreak of COVID-19\n <b>global central banks have bought $834mn of financial assets every 60 minutes</b>…and every 60 minutes the market cap of global tech stocks has risen $780mn.\n <i>[Emphasis: Author]</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>I haven't done the exact math, but what I can tell you is that money is being printed and pumped into the financial system. It's also going directly to consumers, who in turn spend or otherwise use that money.</p>\n<p>Keeping this simple, there are actually two ways that AAPL gets a lift. First, that added money pours into AAPL stock itself. That is, investors buy the stock. Demand for assets increases. Second, that money goes from customers directly to AAPL. Customers buy products and services, which drives up revenue and products, as I've explained previously.</p>\n<p>At a very high level, consider the M2 money supply:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/825006ea7bb760303f6eda643c385ef2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"237\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source:Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</p>\n<p>Imagine that demand for AAPL products was being held constant. When you increase the money supply, people use that money to chase after goods and services, but also assets like AAPL stock. In other words,<i>it inflates revenues and profits, and also the stock itself</i>. In effect, when M2 increases, you get inflation in the real world (e.g., food, energy, clothing, etc.) but also in asset prices, like AAPL.</p>\n<p>I like to think about this another way. Although AAPL is getting more and more mature, it's still a growth stock. I mean that in terms of products and services, but also in terms of stock price. And, as a growth stock,<i>it's actually acting like a battery, holding financial energy</i>. As the M2 money supply increases at a fast pace, AAPL is the kind of company that can roughly keep pace with inflation, or even much better.</p>\n<p>In plain terms, inflation is driving up prices. Because of demand, AAPL can increase prices and capture more of that money, even if each dollar is worth a bit less. Furthermore, AAPL stock continues to appreciate, holding the value of previously invested money so that purchasing power holds.</p>\n<p>For many investors, it's far better to hold AAPL as an asset than cash. As the money supply increases, every unit of \"money value\" decreases. However, if your assets can keep pace, or do better, then you can keep racing ahead of that curve. Again, AAPL is a financial battery, because it holds value.</p>\n<p><b>Wrap-Up</b></p>\n<p>I've provided five reasons for AAPL's stock price inflation:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Multiple Expansion (PE Ratio Increase)</li>\n <li>Financial Growth (Business Efficiency)</li>\n <li>Stock Buybacks (Financial Engineering)</li>\n <li>Customer Demand (More &amp; Better Products)</li>\n <li>Macro Tailwinds (Money Supply &amp; Inflation)</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In large part, we can understand AAPL's stock price increase over time in relation to supply and demand. For example, the demand for AAPL stock has gone up over time because the business is getting better but also because it continues to pump out great products. Also, with stock buybacks, there's less stock to go around, and with more money floating around, investors are chasing up AAPL's price.</p>\n<p><b>The Future</b></p>\n<p>Now, while I think AAPL is a great company, and it's not about to collapse or die off,<i>I don't love the price right now</i>. I think it's fine to dollar cost average, or drip dividends. But, I'm not convinced it's time to go \"all in\" on AAPL. In part, I'm saying this because I have owned AAPL since 2016 and my cost basis is down around $29. So, I'm not selling due to capital gains taxes, but I'm not thrilled about buying either. In other words, I bring a strong bias to the table.</p>\n<p>If I take a step back, I will say that I'm bullish on AAPL over the longer term, or at least for the next 5-10 years and I think investors will do just fine. The company is fantastic. My problem is really that the valuation is a bit rich. I believe there could be better times to buy than now.</p>\n<p>In any case, I don't know the future since I have no crystal ball. So, I'll simply say that I'm bullish, and that each investor must consider their situation, including their goals, timeline, and the like.</p>\n<p>Again, I'm bullish but I'm just holding right now, and not dripping, and not adding at these prices. And,<i>I have absolutely zero intention of selling</i>.</p>\n<p><b>Marketplace Launch</b></p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this article, then please keep an eye out.

The stock price keeps going up and up. Let's find out why.\nHere's how the article plays out. First, I discuss Multiple Expansion. Second, I review Financial Growth. Third, I investigate Stock Buybacks. Fourth, I dive into Customer Demand. Lastly, I poke a bit at Macro Tailwinds.\nReason #1 Multiple Expansion\nI'm specifically talking about the price to earnings ratio or \"PE Ratio\" going higher. It's worth pausing for a moment to really think about thedefinition:\n\n The price to earnings ratio (PE Ratio) is the measure of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share.\n PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nI've highlighted the essential point which is that stock prices go up because of investor demand. I'll talk more about this in a short while. For now, just pretend that if AAPL stock supply was held steady, the price would still go up over time as demand for the stock increases.\nNow, with PE Ratio firmly in mind, consider the following as proof of investor demand over time:\nThis is a 10-year view. Clearly, buying almost any time before 2020 would have been intelligent given this rearview mirror look. And, specifically, just look at 2013 and 2016 where the PE Ratio was about 10.Incredible.\nNow, take a look at the stock price:\nNo surprise, but the rise in PE Ratio lines up rather well with AAPL's stock price. The run from 2020 into 2021 has been quite satisfactory considering the drop in the PE Ratio from 40 down to 29. The forward PE Ratio is down around 27.\nIn short, here's been a big swing up from the PE Ratio between 10 and 20 a few years ago through now, where we're seeing the PE Ratio hitting 30 to 40.\nTo bring this full circle, the PE Ratio over 10 years tells us a simple story. AAPL's stock price has gone up because of investor demand. While that's \"obvious\", keep in mind that if we isolate this demand, it tells us that investors have been willing to pay relatively more for the profits that AAPL generates. Again, I'm strictly isolating demand for now. There's more to cover, of course. This is merely one piece of the pie.\nReason #2 Financial Growth\nAAPL is a great business. Just take a look.\nData by YCharts\nI've picked some growth metrics. Clearly, Revenue, Net Income, and Cash From Operations over the past 10 years have improved. That's impressive growth, without even looking at the billions and billions in real money pouring into the business.\nI've also included Profit Margin in the picture. I did this for two reasons. First, it shows that it's not really necessary for AAPL to do an amazing job with profit margins. You don't need growth in all metrics to have tremendous overall growth, which is then reflected in the stock price.\nSecond, the Profit Margin isn't shrinking.It's almost like a heartbeat, up and down, quarter after quarter per the cycle of the business. Again, the essential point is that you don't need 100% success with all business metrics to produce incredible stock price gains.\nReason #3 Stock Buybacks\nFinancial engineering has a bad reputation because there's an implication that it's used to hide flaws in a business. But,the definition is rather neutral.\n\n Financial engineering is the use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineering uses tools and knowledge from the fields of computer science, statistics, economics, and applied mathematics to address current financial issues as well as to devise new and innovative financial products.\n\nNow, that being said, perhaps some a bit \"dark\" is happening with AAPL with relation to financial engineering. For example,CNBC said this in 2019:\n\n Apple's aggressive use of its copious cash resources to\n repurchase its shares at modest valuationsin recent years has shown the power of buybacks for a maturing company in a growth lull. And, for Apple, if not the typical company, long-term shareholders have benefited without compromising the company's hiring or spending on capital investment.\n\n\n The slowdown in iPhone unit sales in the past couple of years has restrained Apple's overall growth since its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2015. In fact, net income this fiscal year is projected to be almost exactly equal to what Apple booked four years earlier.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nWhile this is meant to slander AAPL a bit, just scroll back up in this article and look at the PE Ratio of AAPL from 2011 to 2019. Looks like smart buying when the PE is up to 25, 30, and higher. I'm not saying that AAPL was supremely undervalued, but for many years, the buybacks were at least rational given the valuation. At a minimum,it doesn't appear that AAPL was hiding anything.\nFurthermore, this activity doesn't just mop up newly issued shares (i.e., options and stock-based compensation) that are often used to enrich management, and the like. See for yourself.\nData by YCharts\nAnd, in case you were wondering,Warren Buffett has largely agreedwith AAPL's buyback activity:\n\n Berkshire's investment in Apple vividly illustrates the power of repurchases. We began buying Apple stock late in 2016 and by early July 2018, owned slightly more than one billion Apple shares (split-adjusted). Saying that, I'm referencing the investment held in Berkshire's general account and am excluding a very small and separately-managed holding of Apple shares that was subsequently sold. When we finished our purchases in mid-2018, Berkshire's general account owned 5.2% of Apple.\n\n\n Our cost for that stake was $36 billion. Since then, we have both enjoyed regular dividends, averaging about $775 million annually, and have also - in 2020 - pocketed an additional $11 billion by selling a small portion of our position.\n\n\n Despite that sale - voila! - Berkshire now owns 5.4% of Apple. That increase was costless to us, coming about because Apple has continuously repurchased its shares, thereby substantially shrinking the number it now has outstanding.\n\nWhen a company buys back its own stock, your ownership in that business increases. The \"secret\" is that the company needs to be undervalued or fairly valued so that every dollar spent on buybacks is accretive, i.e., like spending $1.00 but getting $1.10 in value. The sin of buybacks will manifest when every $1.00 used only generates let's say $0.80 of actual value. Just like an ordinary investor,what you buy and when you buy will determine your results.\nSo, again, coming back full circle, AAPL has gone up because of buybacks and related financial engineering. You might agree or disagree with this activity, versus let's say, increasing the dividend. Nevertheless, buybacks have contributed to AAPL's stock price increase.\nReason #4 Customer Demand\nI previously mentioned demand but that was in relation to the stock itself. However, all stock represents ownership in a real business. We must never forget that truth.\nAnd, AAPL certainly hasn't slowed down much, at least in the bigger picture. Here's a peek at what's been released just in 2020 and 2021:\n\nSource:Wikipedia\nOld products getting refreshed, new products launching, new generations of products, new form factors, new services, and so on, and so forth. While it might sometimes seem that AAPL isn't innovating much, the reality is that this company keeps evolving and adapting.\nAgain, it might seem like AAPL is \"just a phone company\" but consider the bigger picture:\n\nSource:MacRumors\nOf course, like you, I see loads of iPhone sales. But, I see growth in tablets, wearables, services, computers, and much more. Phones are very important, maybe even still extremely important, yet the point remains. AAPL products, including the iPhone, continue to be in demand. Therefore, revenue continues to grow, and profits continue to flood into the business.\nIn short, there is demand for products and services, so the company makes a ton of money, and then investors want a piece of the action. The result is obvious. The stock price goes up because the business is selling products that people want. Investors see that in many ways and bid up the price.\nReason #5 Macro Tailwinds\nThis is rather interesting:\n\nSource:ZeroHedge\nAlong with this comment:\n\n ...since the outbreak of COVID-19\n global central banks have bought $834mn of financial assets every 60 minutes…and every 60 minutes the market cap of global tech stocks has risen $780mn.\n [Emphasis: Author]\n\nI haven't done the exact math, but what I can tell you is that money is being printed and pumped into the financial system. It's also going directly to consumers, who in turn spend or otherwise use that money.\nKeeping this simple, there are actually two ways that AAPL gets a lift. First, that added money pours into AAPL stock itself. That is, investors buy the stock. Demand for assets increases. Second, that money goes from customers directly to AAPL. Customers buy products and services, which drives up revenue and products, as I've explained previously.\nAt a very high level, consider the M2 money supply:\n\nSource:Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\nImagine that demand for AAPL products was being held constant. When you increase the money supply, people use that money to chase after goods and services, but also assets like AAPL stock. In other words,it inflates revenues and profits, and also the stock itself. In effect, when M2 increases, you get inflation in the real world (e.g., food, energy, clothing, etc.) but also in asset prices, like AAPL.\nI like to think about this another way. Although AAPL is getting more and more mature, it's still a growth stock. I mean that in terms of products and services, but also in terms of stock price. And, as a growth stock,it's actually acting like a battery, holding financial energy. As the M2 money supply increases at a fast pace, AAPL is the kind of company that can roughly keep pace with inflation, or even much better.\nIn plain terms, inflation is driving up prices. Because of demand, AAPL can increase prices and capture more of that money, even if each dollar is worth a bit less. Furthermore, AAPL stock continues to appreciate, holding the value of previously invested money so that purchasing power holds.\nFor many investors, it's far better to hold AAPL as an asset than cash. As the money supply increases, every unit of \"money value\" decreases. However, if your assets can keep pace, or do better, then you can keep racing ahead of that curve. Again, AAPL is a financial battery, because it holds value.\nWrap-Up\nI've provided five reasons for AAPL's stock price inflation:\n\nMultiple Expansion (PE Ratio Increase)\nFinancial Growth (Business Efficiency)\nStock Buybacks (Financial Engineering)\nCustomer Demand (More & Better Products)\nMacro Tailwinds (Money Supply & Inflation)\n\nIn large part, we can understand AAPL's stock price increase over time in relation to supply and demand. For example, the demand for AAPL stock has gone up over time because the business is getting better but also because it continues to pump out great products. Also, with stock buybacks, there's less stock to go around, and with more money floating around, investors are chasing up AAPL's price.\nThe Future\nNow, while I think AAPL is a great company, and it's not about to collapse or die off,I don't love the price right now. I think it's fine to dollar cost average, or drip dividends. But, I'm not convinced it's time to go \"all in\" on AAPL. In part, I'm saying this because I have owned AAPL since 2016 and my cost basis is down around $29. So, I'm not selling due to capital gains taxes, but I'm not thrilled about buying either. In other words, I bring a strong bias to the table.\nIf I take a step back, I will say that I'm bullish on AAPL over the longer term, or at least for the next 5-10 years and I think investors will do just fine. The company is fantastic. My problem is really that the valuation is a bit rich. I believe there could be better times to buy than now.\nIn any case, I don't know the future since I have no crystal ball. So, I'll simply say that I'm bullish, and that each investor must consider their situation, including their goals, timeline, and the like.\nAgain, I'm bullish but I'm just holding right now, and not dripping, and not adding at these prices. And,I have absolutely zero intention of selling.\nMarketplace Launch\nIf you enjoyed this article, then please keep an eye out.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.\nDespite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.\n1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle\nThe traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.\nOpendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.\nAfter seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including Zillow Group and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.\nAccording to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.\n2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule\nWhen companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.\nFast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"\nIn other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.\n3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?\nInvestors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.\nInvestors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.\nBut if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0.

It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"Amazon\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is poised to be a big player in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":813718008,"gmtCreate":1630246307204,"gmtModify":1676530250309,"author":{"id":"4092281613520110","authorId":"4092281613520110","name":"nicfrazier","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eba908926d1d1c9eff849faa47848d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092281613520110","authorIdStr":"4092281613520110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"oof this is...","listText":"oof this is...","text":"oof this is...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/813718008","repostId":"1129129956","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129129956","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630201285,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129129956?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-29 09:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129129956","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.The company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.The market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.Real estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologieshas been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company  merger.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.\nDespite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.\n1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle\nThe traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.\nOpendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.\nAfter seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including Zillow Group and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.\nAccording to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.\n2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule\nWhen companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.\nFast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"\nIn other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.\n3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?\nInvestors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.\nInvestors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.\nBut if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.\nCompetitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.\nHere's the bottom line\nReal estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"Amazon\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is poised to be a big player in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":64,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
