While August job growth was disappointing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls swelled by just over 1 million in July and have increased an average 716,000 since May.</p>\n<p>Still, high-frequency data and alternate employment indicators have hinted that upcoming jobs gains may disappoint as well, and the Jefferies analysts said the first actual reduction in asset purchases will likely be \"conditional on a solid September employment gain.\"</p>\n<p>The U.S. job market remains about 5.3 million positions short of where it was before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>More then 60% of economists who responded to a Reuters poll said they expected the tapering of the bond purchases to begin in December.</p>\n<p>Fed officials, however, may decide they need more time to assess the risk from a handful of evolving issues before deciding to push ahead with the reduction in the bond-buying program. Financial markets have been roiled in the last week by concerns about spillover effects from the potential collapse of a large Chinese property developer, China Evergrande Group, and the S&amp;P 500 index kicked off the week with its largest daily loss in four months.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers appear no closer to resolving a partisan standoff in Congress over lifting the federal debt ceiling, with the potential for a partial shutdown of the federal government rising by the day.</p>\n<p>INFLATION WATCH</p>\n<p>When the bond-buying taper does come, it will mark the start of a shift away from the measures put in place in March 2020 to help the economy through the pandemic, and towards more normal monetary policies that will eventually include higher interest rates.</p>\n<p>Powell, who is likely to learn before the Fed's Nov. 2-3 policy meeting whether President Joe Biden wants to nominate him for a second term as head of the central bank, has emphasized in several high-profile speeches, including at a Kansas City Fed research conference last month, that the eventual start of the bond-buying taper is unrelated to the debate over interest rates. It is a point he is likely to reiterate on Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Policymakers' new economic and interest rate projections, however, will provide some sense of how fast rate hikes may follow the taper, and in particular whether a bout of high inflation has officials penciling in an initial increase for next year.</p>\n<p>The Fed's preferred measure of inflation as of July was about 4.2% on an annualized basis. That is double the central bank's 2% target and enough in the minds of some officials to meet the central bank's new promise to let inflation run moderately above that target for a while to be sure it is reached on average, a precursor to raising rates.</p>\n<p>Leaning in the other direction: The surge of COVID-19 infections driven by the Delta variant of the coronavirus.</p>\n<p>Since June, when the Fed noted the positive impact of COVID-19 vaccinations and said the economy's performance appeared to be separating from the pandemic, the seven-day average of new daily infections had ballooned five-fold to 66,000 by the central bank's July 27-28 meeting. It has roughly doubled again since then.</p>\n<p>Some measures of service activity have dipped, prompting forecasters to mark down their outlooks for economic growth this year.</p>\n<p>The Fed may well follow suit.</p>","source":"highlight_streetinsider","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

While August job growth was disappointing, U.S. nonfarm payrolls swelled by just over 1 million in July and have increased an average 716,000 since May.\nStill, high-frequency data and alternate employment indicators have hinted that upcoming jobs gains may disappoint as well, and the Jefferies analysts said the first actual reduction in asset purchases will likely be \"conditional on a solid September employment gain.\"\nThe U.S. job market remains about 5.3 million positions short of where it was before the pandemic.\nMore then 60% of economists who responded to a Reuters poll said they expected the tapering of the bond purchases to begin in December.\nFed officials, however, may decide they need more time to assess the risk from a handful of evolving issues before deciding to push ahead with the reduction in the bond-buying program. Financial markets have been roiled in the last week by concerns about spillover effects from the potential collapse of a large Chinese property developer, China Evergrande Group, and the S&P 500 index kicked off the week with its largest daily loss in four months.\nMeanwhile, U.S. lawmakers appear no closer to resolving a partisan standoff in Congress over lifting the federal debt ceiling, with the potential for a partial shutdown of the federal government rising by the day.\nINFLATION WATCH\nWhen the bond-buying taper does come, it will mark the start of a shift away from the measures put in place in March 2020 to help the economy through the pandemic, and towards more normal monetary policies that will eventually include higher interest rates.\nPowell, who is likely to learn before the Fed's Nov. 2-3 policy meeting whether President Joe Biden wants to nominate him for a second term as head of the central bank, has emphasized in several high-profile speeches, including at a Kansas City Fed research conference last month, that the eventual start of the bond-buying taper is unrelated to the debate over interest rates. It is a point he is likely to reiterate on Wednesday.\nPolicymakers' new economic and interest rate projections, however, will provide some sense of how fast rate hikes may follow the taper, and in particular whether a bout of high inflation has officials penciling in an initial increase for next year.\nThe Fed's preferred measure of inflation as of July was about 4.2% on an annualized basis. That is double the central bank's 2% target and enough in the minds of some officials to meet the central bank's new promise to let inflation run moderately above that target for a while to be sure it is reached on average, a precursor to raising rates.\nLeaning in the other direction: The surge of COVID-19 infections driven by the Delta variant of the coronavirus.\nSince June, when the Fed noted the positive impact of COVID-19 vaccinations and said the economy's performance appeared to be separating from the pandemic, the seven-day average of new daily infections had ballooned five-fold to 66,000 by the central bank's July 27-28 meeting. It has roughly doubled again since then.\nSome measures of service activity have dipped, prompting forecasters to mark down their outlooks for economic growth this year.\nThe Fed may well follow suit.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869210047,"gmtCreate":1632290650089,"gmtModify":1676530744553,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869210047","repostId":"2169653868","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169653868","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632288036,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2169653868?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-22 13:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sony India Seeks to Take Over TV Network Zee Entertainment","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169653868","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Sony Group Corp.’s Indian unit signed a non-binding deal to buy the country’s largest","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Sony Group Corp.’s Indian unit signed a non-binding deal to buy the country’s largest publicly-traded television network Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., pouncing on a beleaguered company whose shareholders have sought removal of key officials.</p>\n<p>Zee shares jumped 20% following the deal announcement, giving it a market value of $4 billion.

NASA is splitting its human spaceflight department into two separate bodies - one centred on big, future-oriented missions to the moon and Mars, the other on the International Space Station and other operations closer to Earth.\nThe reorganisation, announced by NASA chief Bill Nelson on Tuesday (Sept 21), reflects an evolving relationship between private companies, such as SpaceX, that have increasingly commercialised rocket travel and the federal agency that had exercised a US monopoly over spaceflight for decades.\nNelson said the shake-up was also spurred by a recent proliferation of flights and commercial investment in low-Earth orbit even as NASA steps up its development of deep-space aspirations.\n\"Today is more than organisational change,\" Nelson said at a press briefing. \"It's setting the stage for the next 20 years, it's defining NASA's future in a growing space economy.\"\nThe move breaks up NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, currently headed by Kathy Leuders, into two separate branches.\nLeuders will keep her associate administrator title as head of the new Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, focusing on NASA's most ambitious, long-term programmes, such as plans to return astronauts to the moon under project Artemis, and eventual human exploration of Mars.\nA retired deputy associate administrator, James Free, who played key roles in NASA's space station and commercial crew and cargo programmes, will return to the agency as head of the new Space Operations Mission Directorate.\nHis branch will primarily oversee more routine launch and spaceflight activities, including missions involving the space station and privatisation of low-Earth orbit, as well as sustaining lunar operations once those have been established.\n\"This approach with two areas focused on human spaceflight allows one mission directorate to operate in space while the other builds future space systems,\" NASA said in a press release announcing the move.\nThe announcement came less than a week after SpaceX, which had already flown numerous astronaut missions and cargo payloads to the space station for NASA, launched the first all-civilian crew ever to reach orbit and returned them safely to Earth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869696390,"gmtCreate":1632277206510,"gmtModify":1676530741634,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"latest","listText":"latest","text":"latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869696390","repostId":"2169324976","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169324976","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1632256994,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2169324976?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-22 04:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends near flat on cautious note ahead of Fed","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169324976","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, Sept 21  -

US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) declined 89c, or 1.2%, to $71.08.\nA stronger dollar makes US dollar-priced oil more expensive for holders of other currencies and generally reflects higher risk aversion, which tends to weigh on oil prices.Brent has gained 44% this year, supported by supply cuts by oil cartel Opec and allies and some recovery in demand after 2020’s pandemic-induced collapse.\nOil had gained additional support from supply shutdowns in the US Gulf of Mexico due to the two recent hurricanes, but as of Friday producing companies had just 23% of crude production offline, or 422,078 barrels per day.\n“US production in the Gulf of Mexico, which had been shut down as a result of the hurricane, is gradually returning to the market,” said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at Commerzbank.\nA rise in the US rig count, an early indicator of future output, to its highest since April 2020 also kept a lid on prices.Reuters","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":315,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860329447,"gmtCreate":1632138520289,"gmtModify":1676530708129,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860329447","repostId":"2168502501","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168502501","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632130774,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2168502501?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-20 17:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"September is starting to stink for the stock market: Morning Brief","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168502501","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"But there are green pastures\nAgainst a noisy backdrop of mounting corporate earnings warnings and a ","content":"<p><b>But there are green pastures</b></p>\n<p>Against a noisy backdrop of mounting corporate earnings warnings and a steady drumbeat of market correction calls by Wall Street pros, I have been on a covert mission to find a few good things for investors to chew on midway through a volatile September.</p>\n<p>I inhaled a whiff of hopium on the surprising August retail sales report that showed consumers are spending their stockpile of savings (or higher wages from their new gig) on a fresh pair of jeans or back-to-school supplies for their kids.</p>\n<p>For the record, I expected the report to miss economists' estimates due to soft weekly reads on consumer mobility due to the surging Delta variant.

The company has its production partners ready to ship its vaccine. It also initiated a clinical trial for evaluating a combination of Covid and seasonal influenza vaccines. Still, NVAX stock is poised to trade higher in the coming 12 months for more reasons than that.</p>\n<p>Developed countries are about to push vaccine boosters. When Novavax starts selling its product, it will have a large addressable market.</p>\n<p>NVAX Stock Waits for Japan Start</p>\n<p>In preparation for Novavax’s eventual production, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare said that it will purchase 150 milliondoses of the NVAX vaccine. Takeda is establishing manufacturing capabilities to manufacture TAK-019 (also known as NVX-CoV2373). It will begin distribution in early 2022. Novavax will give Takeda the license and transfer manufacturing technologies.</p>\n<p>Takeda will manufacture the vaccine antigen, while Novavax supplies the Matrix-M adjuvant. That’s the compound administered “alongside vaccines to enhance biological functions: creating robust and long-lasting immune responses that may allow for dose-sparing of vaccines,”according to<i>DrugBank Online</i>.</p>\n<p>Novavax is relying on Takeda to complete the Japanese clinical trial. Takeda is also responsible for the regulatory submission to the country’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). While Takeda works with partners in healthcare in around 80 countries and regions, it is highly familiar with Japan’s regulations. As investors wait another four months for approvals and sales, stocks like<b>Moderna</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MRNA</u></b>) and<b>BioNTech</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>BNTX</u></b>) trade at a bigger market capitalization.</p>\n<p>NVAX stock is relatively smaller and offers better upside for investors willing to wait for the eventual vaccine approvals.</p>\n<p><b>Commercialization Skills Still Needed</b></p>\n<p>Cautious investors should wonder why Novavax is studying combination vaccines when it received no approvals for either one on its own. NanoFlu is still avaccine candidate. It demonstrated significantly stronger immune responses in studies. The company may have hesitancy in focusing first on approval because of its academic mindset. Management is comfortable in studying the vaccine. It lacks a focus and the experience in commercializing the product.</p>\n<p>Novavax may overcome those weaknesses by hiring veteran leaders with experience in commercializing drugs. The longer it waits on building a strong team, the more market share competitors gain. Still, Novavax pre-sold 150 million doses in Japan for Q1/2022.</p>\n<p>Investors may assume that Novavax prices the vaccine at or below<b>Pfizer’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PFE</u></b>) and Moderna’s prices. Pfizer’s shotcosts $23.15 a dose. Moderna charged $25.50 a dose. Novavax could charge $30 to $35 for the combination Covid and influenza dose and $18 to $20 for the Covid vaccine. In the latter case, Novavax will post $3 billion in sales in Japan. At a 50/50 revenue split, Novavax would get $1.5 billion. At a 70/30 split, it will book $2.1 billion in revenue in Japan alone.</p>\n<p>Those figures suggest that waiting for regulatory approvals is just a formality. The pandemic is nowhere close to coming to an end. Even at vaccination rates of over 90% for a country’s population, semi-annual booster shots will sustain Novavax’s future revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Flu-Covid Combo Considered</b></p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Novavax initiated a Phase 1-2 clinical trial to study the combination vaccine for Covid-19and seasonal influenza. It will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity, combining NVX-CoV2373 and NanoFlu vaccine candidates.</p>\n<p>Gregory M. Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.</p>\n<p><b>Your Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Investors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine.

The company has its production partners ready to ship its vaccine. It also initiated a clinical trial for evaluating a combination of Covid and seasonal influenza vaccines. Still, NVAX stock is poised to trade higher in the coming 12 months for more reasons than that.\nDeveloped countries are about to push vaccine boosters. When Novavax starts selling its product, it will have a large addressable market.\nNVAX Stock Waits for Japan Start\nIn preparation for Novavax’s eventual production, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare said that it will purchase 150 milliondoses of the NVAX vaccine. Takeda is establishing manufacturing capabilities to manufacture TAK-019 (also known as NVX-CoV2373). It will begin distribution in early 2022. Novavax will give Takeda the license and transfer manufacturing technologies.\nTakeda will manufacture the vaccine antigen, while Novavax supplies the Matrix-M adjuvant. That’s the compound administered “alongside vaccines to enhance biological functions: creating robust and long-lasting immune responses that may allow for dose-sparing of vaccines,”according toDrugBank Online.\nNovavax is relying on Takeda to complete the Japanese clinical trial. Takeda is also responsible for the regulatory submission to the country’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). While Takeda works with partners in healthcare in around 80 countries and regions, it is highly familiar with Japan’s regulations. As investors wait another four months for approvals and sales, stocks likeModerna(NASDAQ:MRNA) andBioNTech(NASDAQ:BNTX) trade at a bigger market capitalization.\nNVAX stock is relatively smaller and offers better upside for investors willing to wait for the eventual vaccine approvals.\nCommercialization Skills Still Needed\nCautious investors should wonder why Novavax is studying combination vaccines when it received no approvals for either one on its own. NanoFlu is still avaccine candidate. It demonstrated significantly stronger immune responses in studies. The company may have hesitancy in focusing first on approval because of its academic mindset. Management is comfortable in studying the vaccine. It lacks a focus and the experience in commercializing the product.\nNovavax may overcome those weaknesses by hiring veteran leaders with experience in commercializing drugs. The longer it waits on building a strong team, the more market share competitors gain. Still, Novavax pre-sold 150 million doses in Japan for Q1/2022.\nInvestors may assume that Novavax prices the vaccine at or belowPfizer’s(NYSE:PFE) and Moderna’s prices. Pfizer’s shotcosts $23.15 a dose. Moderna charged $25.50 a dose. Novavax could charge $30 to $35 for the combination Covid and influenza dose and $18 to $20 for the Covid vaccine. In the latter case, Novavax will post $3 billion in sales in Japan. At a 50/50 revenue split, Novavax would get $1.5 billion. At a 70/30 split, it will book $2.1 billion in revenue in Japan alone.\nThose figures suggest that waiting for regulatory approvals is just a formality. The pandemic is nowhere close to coming to an end. Even at vaccination rates of over 90% for a country’s population, semi-annual booster shots will sustain Novavax’s future revenue.\nFlu-Covid Combo Considered\nEarlier this month, Novavax initiated a Phase 1-2 clinical trial to study the combination vaccine for Covid-19and seasonal influenza. It will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity, combining NVX-CoV2373 and NanoFlu vaccine candidates.\nGregory M. Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.\nYour Takeaway\nInvestors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine. The revenue potential is far greater than the near-term downside risks.\nInvestors seeking exposure to Covid vaccine makers may consider Pfizer for the dividend income and growth. Moderna and BioNTech are up by too much to consider. Novavax is the next emerging biotechnology firm to grow significantly post-vaccine launch.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860320772,"gmtCreate":1632138420996,"gmtModify":1676530708106,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest&nbsp;","listText":"Latest&nbsp;","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860320772","repostId":"1194891884","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194891884","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632091615,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194891884?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-20 06:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nike, Costco, FedEx, Salesforce, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194891884","media":"Barrons","summary":"The main event this week will be the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting.

Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”</p>\n<p>And noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.</p>\n<p>“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.\nKozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.\nHe briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.\nHe worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.\nTyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.\nWhile the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.\n\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"\nThe key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.\n\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.\nIn retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.\n“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence.

It’s got a wider lens to capture more people in a single scene and can have an LTE wireless connection.\nIt costs $329 with 64GB of storage. That’s more storage but the same starting price as before. It goes on sale next week.\n\nApple also announced a new iPad Mini, which has a smaller 8.3-inch screen. It has a redesign featuring new, flatter design language, like the iPhone 12.

So far his team of computer scientists’ strategy has paid off.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Imagine you had a money-making machine to harvest gains in the stock market while you sat back to enjoy life.</p>\n<p>That’s everyone’s dream, right? Investor Vance Howard thinks he’s found it.</p>\n<p>Howard and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.</p>\n<p>His HCM Tactical Growth Fund&nbsp;HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000&nbsp;benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar.

His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.</p>\n<p>There are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?</p>\n<p>So-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as you’ll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on “horse sense” — not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.</p>\n<p>Here are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #1: Don’t be emotional</b></p>\n<p>It’s no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.</p>\n<p>Likewise, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd — and crowd psychology — dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.</p>\n<p>To do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #2: Have a system and stick to it</b></p>\n<p>To exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.</p>\n<p>The HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&amp;P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.</p>\n<p>When the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.</p>\n<p>“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”</p>\n<p>Right now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)</p>\n<p>Your system also has to tell you when to get back in.</p>\n<p>“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.</p>\n<p>You don’t need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.</p>\n<p>“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”</p>\n<p>His system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #3: Don’t fight the tape</b></p>\n<p>This concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”</p>\n<p>“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”</p>\n<p>In other words, don’t try to be a hero.</p>\n<p>“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.</p>\n<p>Likewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now. You should love new highs, because it is a sign of market strength that may likely endure.</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #4: Keep it simple</b></p>\n<p>As you’ll see below, Howard doesn’t use esoteric instruments such as derivatives, swaps or index options. He doesn’t even trade foreign stocks or currencies. This is refreshing for individual investors, because we have a harder time accessing those tools.</p>\n<p>“You don’t have to trade crazy stuff,” he says. “You can trade plain-vanilla ETFs and beat everybody out there.”</p>\n<p><b>Lesson #5: How to trade the current market</b></p>\n<p>First, be long.</p>\n<p>“The HCM-BuyLine is very positive. We are 100% in,” says Howard. “The market is broadening out. It is getting pretty exciting. We do not see it turn around any time soon. We are buying pullbacks.”</p>\n<p>One bullish signal is all the cash on the sidelines. “If there is any relief in Covid, we may see a big rally.

So far his team of computer scientists’ strategy has paid off.\n\nImagine you had a money-making machine to harvest gains in the stock market while you sat back to enjoy life.\nThat’s everyone’s dream, right? Investor Vance Howard thinks he’s found it.\nHoward and his small army of computer programmers atHoward Capital Managementin Roswell, Ga., have a quantitative system that posts great returns.\nHis HCM Tactical Growth Fund HCMGX,+0.35%beats its Russell 1000 benchmark index and large-blend fund category by 8.5-10.4 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar. That is no small feat, and not only because it has to overcome a 2.22% fee. Beating the market is simply not easy. His HCM Dividend Sector PlusHCMQX,-0.05%) and HCM Income PlusHCMLX,+0.30%funds post similar outperformance.\nThere are drawbacks, which I detail below. (Among them: Potentially long stretches of underperformance and regular tax bills.) But first, what can we learn from this winner?\nSo-called quants never share all the details of their proprietary systems, but Howard shares a lot, as you’ll see. And this Texas rancher has a lot of good advice based on “horse sense” — not surprising, given his infectious passion for the markets, and his three decades of experience as a pro.\nHere are five lessons, 12 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and four stocks to consider, from a recent interview with him.\nLesson #1: Don’t be emotional\nIt’s no surprise so many people do poorly in the market. Evolution has programmed us to fail. For survival, we’ve learned to run from things that frightens us. And crave more of things that are pleasurable — like sweets or fats to store calories ahead of what might be a long stretch without food. But in the market, acting on the emotions of fear and greed invariably make us do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Sell at the bottom, buy at the top.\nLikewise, we’re programmed to believe being with the crowd brings safety. If you’re a zebra on the Savanna, you are more likely to get picked off by a predator if you go it alone. The problem here is being part of a crowd — and crowd psychology — dumb us down to a purely emotional level. This is why people in crowds do terrible things they would never do on their own. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. When you join a crowd, you lose a lot of IQ points. Base emotions take over.\nTo do well in the market, you have to counteract these tendencies. “One of the biggest mistakes individual investors and money managers make is getting emotional,” says Howard. “Let your emotions go.”\nLesson #2: Have a system and stick to it\nTo exorcise emotion, have a system. “And don’t second guess it,” says Howard. “This keeps you from letting the pandemic or Afghanistan scare you out of the market.” He calls his system the HCM-BuyLine. It is basically a momentum and trend-following system — which often works well in the markets.\nThe HCM-BuyLine basically works like this. First, rather than use the S&P 500SPX,-0.03%or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-0.21%,Howard blends several stock indices to create his own index. Then he uses a moving average that tells him whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.\nWhen the moving average drops 3.5%, he sells 35%. If it drops 6.5%, he sells another 35%. He rarely goes to 100% cash.\n“If the BuyLine is positive, we will stay long no matter what,” he says. “We take all the emotion out of the equation by letting the math decide.”\nRight now, it’s bullish. (More on this below.)\nYour system also has to tell you when to get back in.\n“That’s where most people screw up,” he says. “They get out of the market, and they don’t know when to get back in.” The HCM-BuyLine gives a buy signal when his custom index trades above its moving average for six consecutive sessions, and then goes on to trade above the high hit during those six days.\nYou don’t need a system that calls exact market tops or bottoms. Instead, the BuyLine keeps Howard out of down markets 85% of the time, and in for 85% of the good times.\n“If we can do that consistently, we have superior returns and a less stressful life,” he says. “Being all in during a bad tape is no fun.”\nHis system is slow to get him out of the market, but quick to get him back in. Not even a 10% correction will necessarily move him out. He’s often buying those pullbacks. Getting back in fast makes sense, because recoveries off bottoms tend to happen fast.\n“The HCM-BuyLine takes all the emotion out of the process,” says Howard.\nLesson #3: Don’t fight the tape\nThis concept is one of the core pieces of wisdom from Marty Zweig’s classic book, “Winning on Wall Street.”\n“You have to stay on the right side of market,” agrees Howard. “If you try to trade long in a bad market, it is painful.”\nIn other words, don’t try to be a hero.\n“Sometimes, not losing money is where you want to be,” he says.\nLikewise, don’t turn cautious just because the market hits new highs — like now.

We may end up with a great fall [season].”\nHoward uses momentum indicators to select stocks and ETFs, too.

Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.</p>\n<p><b>Your Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Investors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine. The revenue potential is far greater than the near-term downside risks.</p>\n<p>Investors seeking exposure to Covid vaccine makers may consider Pfizer for the dividend income and growth. Moderna and BioNTech are up by too much to consider. Novavax is the next emerging biotechnology firm to grow significantly post-vaccine launch.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Developed World Boosters Offer Big Market for Eventual Novavax Vaccine</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\">\nDeveloped World Boosters Offer Big Market for Eventual Novavax Vaccine\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-20 19:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/09/developed-world-boosters-offer-big-market-for-eventual-novavax-vaccine/><strong>Investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>NVAX stock looks like the next emerging biotech to grow significantly with post-vaccine launch.\n\nDespite delays in obtaining approval for its Covid-19 vaccine, Novavax has a competitive edge compared ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/09/developed-world-boosters-offer-big-market-for-eventual-novavax-vaccine/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/09/developed-world-boosters-offer-big-market-for-eventual-novavax-vaccine/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1133342003","content_text":"NVAX stock looks like the next emerging biotech to grow significantly with post-vaccine launch.\n\nDespite delays in obtaining approval for its Covid-19 vaccine, Novavax has a competitive edge compared to its peers.

Glenn, M.D., president of Research and Development, said on Sept 8, “the combination of these two vaccines, which have individually delivered outstanding results with favorable safety and tolerability profiles, may lead to greater efficiencies for the healthcare system and achieve high levels of protection against COVID-19 and influenza with a single regimen.” The study will have 640 healthy adults in the range of 50 to 70 years of age. They will either all have been vaccinated at least eight weeks before enrolment or have been previously infected.\nYour Takeaway\nInvestors are counting on a large global market for Novavax’s growth ahead. Markets are highly forgiving for delayed regulatory approvals for its vaccine. The revenue potential is far greater than the near-term downside risks.\nInvestors seeking exposure to Covid vaccine makers may consider Pfizer for the dividend income and growth. Moderna and BioNTech are up by too much to consider. Novavax is the next emerging biotechnology firm to grow significantly post-vaccine launch.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882974082,"gmtCreate":1631659170846,"gmtModify":1676530599799,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Goo&nbsp;","listText":"Goo&nbsp;","text":"Goo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882974082","repostId":"1147706594","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":116,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889516998,"gmtCreate":1631157591414,"gmtModify":1676530482968,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889516998","repostId":"2166392072","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166392072","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631142328,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2166392072?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-09 07:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends lower, weighed down by Big Tech","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166392072","media":"Reuters","summary":"* U.S. Fed should trim pandemic stimulus - Bullard\n* Coinbase slumps after SEC threatens to sue\n* Pa","content":"<p>* U.S. Fed should trim pandemic stimulus - Bullard</p>\n<p>* Coinbase slumps after SEC threatens to sue</p>\n<p>* <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> falls after acquiring Japanese buy now, pay later firm</p>\n<p>* Indexes end: Dow -0.20%, S&amp;P 500 -0.13%, Nasdaq -0.57%</p>\n<p>Sept 8 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended lower on Wednesday, spooked by worries that the Delta coronavirus variant could blunt the economy's recovery and on uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve may pull back its accommodative policies.</p>\n<p>Apple and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> fell about 1% after helping push the Nasdaq to record highs in the previous session.

The rally came despite concerns about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus and unease about the timetable for an eventual rollback of easy-money policies implemented by the Federal Reserve at the onset of the pandemic last year.</p>\n<p>On Monday, U.S. stock exchanges, including the Intercontinental Exchange Inc.&nbsp;-owned New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Inc.,will be closed, so don’t look for any action in individual stocks or indexes including the Dow Jones Industrial Average,&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;or Nasdaq Composite indexes.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 has already notched 54 record closing highs in 2021 and was looking for its 55th on Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;was on track to book its 35th&nbsp;all-time high of the year. The Dow stood less than a percentage point from its Aug. 16 record, mid-afternoon Friday.</p>\n<p>Sifma, the securities-industry trade group for fixed-income, also has recommended the bond market close on Labor Day, including trading in the 10-year Treasury note,which was&nbsp;yielding around 1.33%&nbsp;after the U.S. August jobs report came in weaker than expected.</p>\n<p>However, the&nbsp;Labor Department’s employment report,which showed that&nbsp;235,000 jobs were created in August, far below expectations for more than 700,000, failed to dull expectations among sovereign debt investors for a near-term announcement of tapering of the Fed’s $120 billion in monthly purchases in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities.</p>\n<p>Trading in most commodity futures, including Nymex crude-oil&nbsp;and Comex gold,on U.S. exchanges will also be halted Monday.</p>\n<p>Is there any significance to the holiday for average investors, besides the time off in the U.S. and the barbecues?</p>\n<p>Probably not.</p>\n<p>But the May Memorial Day to September Labor Day period in recent years has proven a bullish stretch one for investors, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The Dow, for example, is up by about 2% over that period and averages a gain of 1.3%, producing a winning record 65% of the time. The Dow is currently enjoying a win streak, over the past six Memorial Day/Labor Day periods, representing the longest win streak since 1989. Last year, the markets gained nearly 15% over that time.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3f0f061a4ddd2ca31c53f8aa68e3cce\" tg-width=\"699\" tg-height=\"564\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>DOW JONES MARKET DATA</span></p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 is on a similar win streak and is up nearly 8% so far this Memorial Day-Labor Day period. It has risen more than 70% over that period in past years and averages a 1.7% gain. The broad-market index rose 16% during that time in 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c780a46e32d055feb3e3f5e10fc987f\" tg-width=\"699\" tg-height=\"564\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>DOW JONES MARKET DATA</span></p>\n<p>But if there is a bona fide trend in the Labor Day trading it may be this one that MarketWatch’s&nbsp;Steve Goldstein reports, quoting Raymond James strategist Tavis McCourt, who says that in the last two years, there was a big value and cyclical bias in stock markets after the holiday, and in 2018, markets basically collapsed after the summer drew to a close.</p>\n<p>It is impossible to know if the stock market rally will peter out similarly this time around but there is a growing sense on Wall Street that valuations are too lofty and equity indexes are due for a pullback of at least 5% or better from current heights.</p>\n<p>Markets will be back to business as usual on Tuesday and, of course, European bourses, including London’s FTSE 100&nbsp;index and the pan-European Stoxx Europe 600&nbsp;will be open on Monday, as well as Asian markets, the Nikkei 225,Hong Kong’s Hang Seng&nbsp;and the Shanghai Composite Index.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The rally came despite concerns about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus and unease about the timetable for an eventual rollback of easy-money policies implemented by the Federal Reserve at the onset of the pandemic last year.\nOn Monday, U.S. stock exchanges, including the Intercontinental Exchange Inc. -owned New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Inc.,will be closed, so don’t look for any action in individual stocks or indexes including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite indexes.\nThe S&P 500 has already notched 54 record closing highs in 2021 and was looking for its 55th on Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite was on track to book its 35th all-time high of the year. The Dow stood less than a percentage point from its Aug. 16 record, mid-afternoon Friday.\nSifma, the securities-industry trade group for fixed-income, also has recommended the bond market close on Labor Day, including trading in the 10-year Treasury note,which was yielding around 1.33% after the U.S. August jobs report came in weaker than expected.\nHowever, the Labor Department’s employment report,which showed that 235,000 jobs were created in August, far below expectations for more than 700,000, failed to dull expectations among sovereign debt investors for a near-term announcement of tapering of the Fed’s $120 billion in monthly purchases in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities.\nTrading in most commodity futures, including Nymex crude-oil and Comex gold,on U.S. exchanges will also be halted Monday.\nIs there any significance to the holiday for average investors, besides the time off in the U.S. and the barbecues?\nProbably not.\nBut the May Memorial Day to September Labor Day period in recent years has proven a bullish stretch one for investors, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The Dow, for example, is up by about 2% over that period and averages a gain of 1.3%, producing a winning record 65% of the time. The Dow is currently enjoying a win streak, over the past six Memorial Day/Labor Day periods, representing the longest win streak since 1989. Last year, the markets gained nearly 15% over that time.\nDOW JONES MARKET DATA\nThe S&P 500 is on a similar win streak and is up nearly 8% so far this Memorial Day-Labor Day period. It has risen more than 70% over that period in past years and averages a 1.7% gain. The broad-market index rose 16% during that time in 2020.\nDOW JONES MARKET DATA\nBut if there is a bona fide trend in the Labor Day trading it may be this one that MarketWatch’s Steve Goldstein reports, quoting Raymond James strategist Tavis McCourt, who says that in the last two years, there was a big value and cyclical bias in stock markets after the holiday, and in 2018, markets basically collapsed after the summer drew to a close.\nIt is impossible to know if the stock market rally will peter out similarly this time around but there is a growing sense on Wall Street that valuations are too lofty and equity indexes are due for a pullback of at least 5% or better from current heights.\nMarkets will be back to business as usual on Tuesday and, of course, European bourses, including London’s FTSE 100 index and the pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 will be open on Monday, as well as Asian markets, the Nikkei 225,Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite Index.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863757571,"gmtCreate":1632439147493,"gmtModify":1676530781384,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863757571","repostId":"1148130438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148130438","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":1632412797,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148130438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-23 23:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sterling Check opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148130438","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 23) Sterling Check Corp. opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.\nCompany & Te","content":"<p>(Sept 23)&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STER\">Sterling Check Corp.</a> opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc3f51dd719989f02bf56c538ce17c72\" tg-width=\"904\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>Company &amp; Technology</b></p>\n<p>New York-based Sterling was founded to develop a full suite of background screening, verifications and ongoing monitoring services for businesses.</p>\n<p>Management is headed by Chief Executive Officer Joshua Peirez, who has been with the firm since July 2018 and was previously president and COO of Dun &amp; Bradstreet and held senior roles at Mastercard prior to that.</p>\n<p>The company’s primary offering categories include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>Identity verification</p></li>\n <li><p>Background screening</p></li>\n <li><p>Credential verifications</p></li>\n <li><p>Onboarding</p></li>\n <li><p>Ongoing monitoring</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Sterling has received at least $775 million in equity investment from investors including Goldman Sachs and The Greenblatt Trusts.</p>\n<p><b>Customer Acquisition</b></p>\n<p>The firm pursues large clients through a direct sales team approach organized by industry vertical and region.</p>\n<p>For the 12 months ended June 30, 2021, the firm's platform performed over 75 million searches for over 40,000 clients.</p>\n<p>Selling, G&amp;A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have dropped as revenues have fluctuated, as the figures below indicate:</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Selling, G&amp;A</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Expenses vs. Revenue</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Period</p></td>\n   <td><p>Percentage</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Six Mos.

NASA is splitting its human spaceflight department into two separate bodies - one centred on big, future-oriented missions to the moon and Mars, the other on the International Space Station and other operations closer to Earth.\nThe reorganisation, announced by NASA chief Bill Nelson on Tuesday (Sept 21), reflects an evolving relationship between private companies, such as SpaceX, that have increasingly commercialised rocket travel and the federal agency that had exercised a US monopoly over spaceflight for decades.\nNelson said the shake-up was also spurred by a recent proliferation of flights and commercial investment in low-Earth orbit even as NASA steps up its development of deep-space aspirations.\n\"Today is more than organisational change,\" Nelson said at a press briefing. \"It's setting the stage for the next 20 years, it's defining NASA's future in a growing space economy.\"\nThe move breaks up NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, currently headed by Kathy Leuders, into two separate branches.\nLeuders will keep her associate administrator title as head of the new Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, focusing on NASA's most ambitious, long-term programmes, such as plans to return astronauts to the moon under project Artemis, and eventual human exploration of Mars.\nA retired deputy associate administrator, James Free, who played key roles in NASA's space station and commercial crew and cargo programmes, will return to the agency as head of the new Space Operations Mission Directorate.\nHis branch will primarily oversee more routine launch and spaceflight activities, including missions involving the space station and privatisation of low-Earth orbit, as well as sustaining lunar operations once those have been established.\n\"This approach with two areas focused on human spaceflight allows one mission directorate to operate in space while the other builds future space systems,\" NASA said in a press release announcing the move.\nThe announcement came less than a week after SpaceX, which had already flown numerous astronaut missions and cargo payloads to the space station for NASA, launched the first all-civilian crew ever to reach orbit and returned them safely to Earth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869210310,"gmtCreate":1632290676630,"gmtModify":1676530744601,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869210310","repostId":"2169653353","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2169653353","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632289320,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2169653353?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-22 13:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed likely to open bond-buying 'taper' door, but hedge on outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169653353","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

So this upbeat report left me with egg on my face. But that's OK, there is nothing wrong (usually) with getting good economic data.</p>\n<p>Dare I say the consumer sentiment report on Friday was a bright spot. Even though it fell short of estimates, it did improve slightly from August despite delayed office reopenings and Delta fears.</p>\n<p>To top my search for a new pair of rose-colored glasses, Cisco Chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins told Yahoo Finance Live that his business is pretty solid right now.</p>\n<p>\"It's healthy [the global economy], but obviously the comparisons are going to become tougher as we move forward. I think you got to just look at the math and make sure you don't read too much into the mathematical change. But from what we see right now, the spending from our customers is very balanced,\" Robbins said.</p>\n<p>I loved hearing that. That said, despite this greener pasture, the markets — just like my bumbling New York Yankees — are starting to pile up the losses this month. The data doesn't lie.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>On Friday, the S&amp;P 500 slipped below the key 50-day moving average. The index is about 7.5% away from its 200-day moving average. In case you were wondering why you should care: Market sentiment is taking a turn for the worse.</p></li>\n <li><p>Global equities have fallen for two straight weeks.</p></li>\n <li><p>For the first time in 10 months, fewer than 75% of S&amp;P 500 stocks closed above their 200-day moving averages on Friday, according to SunDial Capital Research. That ended the fourth longest positive streak since at least 1928.</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>So what gives here?</p>\n<p>Pick your poison, as to why the market may be correcting at the pace of a melting ice cube, as characterized by <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>'s chief investment officer Mike Wilson.</p>\n<p>First, earnings warnings have caused the upward momentum in analyst estimates to cool down. Remember, this upward momentum in profit estimates has been like oxygen to the market. \"Throughout 2021, stocks have trended higher alongside upward revisions in EPS estimates for this year and next. In recent months, though, the pace of these revisions has slowed, and so too has S&amp;P 500 momentum,\" reminds Julian Emanuel, BTIG chief equity and derivatives strategist.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve meeting this week could serve up a dot plot that brings forward interest rate hikes. What long trader wants to see that headline cross the newswires in the afternoon? (Answer: none).</p>\n<p>And then, there is a budding realization by investors that the fall could bring headline risk to stocks. Read Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's warning in a WSJ op-ed about a borderline government catastrophe (that feeds into household catastrophe) if the debt ceiling isn't raised soon. It should be a wake-up call even for the most hardcore of bulls.</p>\n<p>\"Perhaps contributing to investor caution is the gauntlet of deadlines ahead in Washington — pushback against spending levels and “pay fors” complicates the goal to finalize the budget bill ahead of the targeted 9/27 infrastructure vote, while the debt ceiling suspension expires on 9/30 with extraordinary measures exhausted in October — coinciding with traditional fall volatility,\" Emanuel adds.</p>\n<p>So in other words, there is a lot going on across the board for investors to contemplate.</p>\n<p>At this point, bring on October. Hopefully it will include a New York Yankees playoff run and the return of the bull on Wall Street.</p>\n<p><b>Odds and ends</b></p>\n<p><b>Netflix:</b> On Sept. 25, Netflix (NFLX) will hold its first-ever \"fan event\" via a livestream where it will show off its upcoming content. The stock has gone up 13% headed into the event, lifting expectations so high that the stock may fade on any positive news. But beyond the day, the event could stoke optimism on Netflix's 2022 subscriber outlook. \"At the end of the day, Netflix's stock moves on subscribers. If [the content slate] it causes the subscriber growth to reaccelerate, the stock goes higher from here,\" EvercoreISI tech analyst Mark Mahaney told Yahoo Finance Live.</p>\n<p><b>Sears:</b> We all have a job to do, so hat tip to a Sears [now known as Transformco] spokesman for trying to portray his company as alive and kicking. After I reported (along with other news outlets) that the last Sears store in its hometown of Illinois was closing in November, the spokesman said in an email:</p>\n<blockquote>\n \"There are Sears Hometown stores in Illinois and other states that carry a significant assortment of hardlines, including Kenmore products, and are primarily operated by independent dealers or franchisees of an affiliate of Transformco. In total, there are more than 300 large and small format Sears and Kmart stores nationwide, including 11 in Illinois. In addition, Transformco is very focused on growing sears.com and the Sears Home Services business. The 11 are small format Sears Hometown Stores operated by independent dealers or franchisees of an affiliate of Transformco. But Sears stores, nonetheless. It was incorrect for news outlets to say that “Sears closed its last store in Illinois.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>A nice play on words, but technically the last Sears store OWNED by Sears/Transformco in its hometown closed. I have a job to do, too — it's called reporting the facts.</p>\n<p><b>What to watch today</b></p>\n<p><b>Economy</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>10:00 a.m. ET: <b>NAHB Housing Market Index</b>, September (74 expected, 75 in August)</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Earnings</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li><p><i>No notable reports scheduled for release</i></p></li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Politics</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>President Biden</b> will make his way to New York City for three days of meetings at the <b>United Nations General Assembly</b>.

So this upbeat report left me with egg on my face. But that's OK, there is nothing wrong (usually) with getting good economic data.\nDare I say the consumer sentiment report on Friday was a bright spot. Even though it fell short of estimates, it did improve slightly from August despite delayed office reopenings and Delta fears.\nTo top my search for a new pair of rose-colored glasses, Cisco Chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins told Yahoo Finance Live that his business is pretty solid right now.\n\"It's healthy [the global economy], but obviously the comparisons are going to become tougher as we move forward. I think you got to just look at the math and make sure you don't read too much into the mathematical change. But from what we see right now, the spending from our customers is very balanced,\" Robbins said.\nI loved hearing that. That said, despite this greener pasture, the markets — just like my bumbling New York Yankees — are starting to pile up the losses this month. The data doesn't lie.\n\nOn Friday, the S&P 500 slipped below the key 50-day moving average. The index is about 7.5% away from its 200-day moving average. In case you were wondering why you should care: Market sentiment is taking a turn for the worse.\nGlobal equities have fallen for two straight weeks.\nFor the first time in 10 months, fewer than 75% of S&P 500 stocks closed above their 200-day moving averages on Friday, according to SunDial Capital Research. That ended the fourth longest positive streak since at least 1928.\n\nSo what gives here?\nPick your poison, as to why the market may be correcting at the pace of a melting ice cube, as characterized by Morgan Stanley's chief investment officer Mike Wilson.\nFirst, earnings warnings have caused the upward momentum in analyst estimates to cool down. Remember, this upward momentum in profit estimates has been like oxygen to the market. \"Throughout 2021, stocks have trended higher alongside upward revisions in EPS estimates for this year and next. In recent months, though, the pace of these revisions has slowed, and so too has S&P 500 momentum,\" reminds Julian Emanuel, BTIG chief equity and derivatives strategist.\nMeanwhile, the Federal Reserve meeting this week could serve up a dot plot that brings forward interest rate hikes. What long trader wants to see that headline cross the newswires in the afternoon? (Answer: none).\nAnd then, there is a budding realization by investors that the fall could bring headline risk to stocks. Read Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's warning in a WSJ op-ed about a borderline government catastrophe (that feeds into household catastrophe) if the debt ceiling isn't raised soon. It should be a wake-up call even for the most hardcore of bulls.\n\"Perhaps contributing to investor caution is the gauntlet of deadlines ahead in Washington — pushback against spending levels and “pay fors” complicates the goal to finalize the budget bill ahead of the targeted 9/27 infrastructure vote, while the debt ceiling suspension expires on 9/30 with extraordinary measures exhausted in October — coinciding with traditional fall volatility,\" Emanuel adds.\nSo in other words, there is a lot going on across the board for investors to contemplate.\nAt this point, bring on October. Hopefully it will include a New York Yankees playoff run and the return of the bull on Wall Street.\nOdds and ends\nNetflix: On Sept. 25, Netflix (NFLX) will hold its first-ever \"fan event\" via a livestream where it will show off its upcoming content. The stock has gone up 13% headed into the event, lifting expectations so high that the stock may fade on any positive news. But beyond the day, the event could stoke optimism on Netflix's 2022 subscriber outlook. \"At the end of the day, Netflix's stock moves on subscribers. If [the content slate] it causes the subscriber growth to reaccelerate, the stock goes higher from here,\" EvercoreISI tech analyst Mark Mahaney told Yahoo Finance Live.\nSears: We all have a job to do, so hat tip to a Sears [now known as Transformco] spokesman for trying to portray his company as alive and kicking. After I reported (along with other news outlets) that the last Sears store in its hometown of Illinois was closing in November, the spokesman said in an email:\n\n \"There are Sears Hometown stores in Illinois and other states that carry a significant assortment of hardlines, including Kenmore products, and are primarily operated by independent dealers or franchisees of an affiliate of Transformco. In total, there are more than 300 large and small format Sears and Kmart stores nationwide, including 11 in Illinois. In addition, Transformco is very focused on growing sears.com and the Sears Home Services business. The 11 are small format Sears Hometown Stores operated by independent dealers or franchisees of an affiliate of Transformco. But Sears stores, nonetheless. It was incorrect for news outlets to say that “Sears closed its last store in Illinois.”\n\nA nice play on words, but technically the last Sears store OWNED by Sears/Transformco in its hometown closed. I have a job to do, too — it's called reporting the facts.\nWhat to watch today\nEconomy\n\n10:00 a.m. ET: NAHB Housing Market Index, September (74 expected, 75 in August)\n\nEarnings\n\nNo notable reports scheduled for release\n\nPolitics\n\nPresident Biden will make his way to New York City for three days of meetings at the United Nations General Assembly. The president kicks things off with a bilateral meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres this evening. Biden will then speak to the assembly Tuesday and host a virtual COVID-19 Summit on Wednesday.\nBoth the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate return to Washington this afternoon with deadlines looming. The lawmakers want to avoid a government shutdown and pass the infrastructure deal by the end of the month. They also hope to avoid a government debt default and pass Biden’s package of social spending soon afterwards.\n\nTop News\n\nEuropean stocks fall on energy market crunch, Asia property market jitters [Yahoo Finance UK]\nSenate parliamentarian deals blow to Dems' immigration push [Reuters]\nU.S. default date is estimate Congress wants, Yellen can’t give [Bloomberg]\nApple joins streaming elite, Netflix crosses milestone with Emmy wins [Reuters]\n\nYahoo Finance Highlights\nFacebook exec says stablecoins 'probably' require more regulation\nChina: 'We really are not even in the beginning stages' of the tech crackdown, short-seller says\nYouth involved in the stock market 'is here to stay': Teen investor","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":416,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860329667,"gmtCreate":1632138493259,"gmtModify":1676530708114,"author":{"id":"4093596659918630","authorId":"4093596659918630","name":"Kslee3943","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90de15ce5511304affa25cca2ddef30b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093596659918630","authorIdStr":"4093596659918630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860329667","repostId":"1112144590","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112144590","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632132479,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112144590?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-20 18:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin Drops Below $45,000.

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.</p>\n<p>He briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.</p>\n<p>He worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”</p>\n<p>And noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.</p>\n<p>“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.\nKozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.\nHe briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.\nHe worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.\nTyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.\nWhile the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.\n\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"\nThe key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.\n\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.\nIn retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.\n“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.\n“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”\nActually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.\nThe Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.\nKozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.\nKozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.\nHe was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.\nKozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.\n“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”\nOf course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.\nKozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.\nIn 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.\nMorgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.\nGetting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.\n“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.\n“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”\nBut that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.\n“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”\nWhen Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.\nIf it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.\nKozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict.

Not only is Japan one of the few international markets where Square has a presence, this also signals that PayPal is pushing into the BNPL space more aggressively than previously thought. Remember that Square is spending $29 billion to acquire Afterpay, and PayPal becoming more interested in BNPL could change the competitive dynamics.\nFinally, there is quite a bit of general weakness in the tech sector today.
