Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

ResearchGOOG could deliver 13% annual returns through 2024 if it grows as expected.In the past GOOG has grown as slowly as 11% and billions of investors still paid 25.7X earnings, meaning that its historical market-fair value multiple of 25 to 26X earnings should still be valid.GOOG 2027 Consensus Return PotentialFAST Graphs, FactSet ResearchThanks to GOOG's faster growth rate analysts expect both companies to potentially deliver identical returns.about 14% annually over the next five yearsalso 3.2X better than the S&P 500Bottom Line: Both Are Great Companies But In The Battle Of Meta And Alphabet There Is One Clear WinnerDividend Kings Automated Investment Decision ToolDividend Kings Automated Investment Decision ToolBoth Alphabet and Meta are wonderful companies, and as close to perfect growth blue-chip opportunities as you can find on Wall Street right now.far superior valuationsuperior qualitysuperior long-term return potential to the S&P 500However, when we examine both companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety and quality first, and prudent valuation and sound risk-management always, you never have to pray for luck on Wall Street, you make your own.Luck is what happens when preparation meets, opportunity.\"

Apart from the geopolitical implications - finance, trade and commerce will all feel the impact.Will Alibaba (BABA) feel it too? After all, Russia is Alibaba's AliExpress segment’s largest market.Maybe so, but given business conducted on AliExpress Russia does not get consolidated in Alibaba’s results, Baird's Colin Sebastian thinks exposure to Russia/Ukraine is “quite modest.” “We assume there is risk to valuation of this joint venture,” the 5-star analyst went on to say, “Although still a relatively minor investment for the company.”In any case, Sebastian thinks the Chinese ecommerce giant has other issues to contend with. The recent F3Q results “reflected the slowing macro/retail backdrop and intense competition impacting core retail growth.” Along with pandemic headwinds, these have resulted in slower retail and e-commerce sales in China.Considering the impact of subsidies and fee waivers given to merchants, despite positive GMV growth, CMR (customer management revenue) fell by ~1% from the same period last year, while slower growth in apparel and general merchandise categories also played a part in the downbeat performance. Furthermore, the company is seeing competition intensify in both established markets and more rural areas.To counter these developments, monetization has been put “on the back burner,” with the company focused on “growing the customer base as well as increasing engagement.”At the same time, international segment order growth has stayed robust (up 18%), the company is making inroads with local services (22% order growth) and, importantly, says Sebastian, Alibaba is “showing more progress with community buying and Taobao Deals, which help to counter competing platforms.”And there’s enough evidence to show the company can meet the current challenges. “The biggest takeaway is that Alibaba remains focused on long-term growth despite the near-term macro and competitive headwinds,” summed up Sebastian, “And we continue to see significant value in the company's technology-oriented e-commerce and cloud services platform.”Therefore, the analyst maintains an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating, although the price target is reduced from $180 to $160, implying shares have room for ~52% growth over the coming year. Overall, 23 analysts have posted BABA reviews over the past 3 months, of which 21 say Buy while 2 recommend to Hold, all coalescing to a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average price target stands at $178.53, and should it be met, investors are looking at 12-month returns of 69%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032819432,"gmtCreate":1647325141734,"gmtModify":1676534216792,"author":{"id":"4101385200335300","authorId":"4101385200335300","name":"kenfoo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101385200335300","authorIdStr":"4101385200335300"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032819432","repostId":"2219835797","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2219835797","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":1647322773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2219835797?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-15 13:39","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"Yum China, BYD say China's COVID curbs have impacted operations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2219835797","media":"Reuters","summary":"SHANGHAI, March 15 (Reuters) - Chinese businesses from automaker BYD    to KFC operator Yum China   ","content":"<html><body><p>SHANGHAI, March 15 (Reuters) - Chinese businesses from automaker BYD    to KFC operator Yum China    say their operations have already been hit by the country's latest COVID-19 curbs, with more disruption expected as case numbers rise.</p><p>   The impact on companies comes as China battles its worst outbreak since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020.

The stock market has mostly ended in the red and one topic continued to catch new headlines. Unfortunately, it looks like this topic will remain in the headlines for the foreseeable future given the invasion of Russia into Ukraine at the end of February. As for my portfolio, I had a total of 8 buys and 2 sells.</p><div></div> <p>For the people that have not read my previous articles: I am a 24-year-old investor from the Netherlands who is trying to start early so that I will have the option to retire early or at least earlier (the current retirement age is 67 in NL and is trending upwards). If you are interested in previous updates on my portfolio, you can find them here:</p> <ul> <li><p>My Portfolio November Update - Repositioning For The New Year</p></li> <li><p>My Portfolio December And EOY Update - Dividends Increased But Total Return Is Subpar</p></li> <li>My Portfolio January Update - 10 Buys, 3 Sells</li> </ul> <h2>February update</h2> <p>February has been a very volatile month and after dealing with Covid-19 we now have a potential world war. Unless you have been living under a rock, you will be aware of the war in Ukraine. A lot of sanctions have been imposed on Russia in order to force them to stop, unfortunately, to no avail. Since the start of the war and the first announcement of sanctions, markets have been very volatile. This can be of good use for investors that add to their portfolio, but the reason remains sad.</p> <p>There was also good news (at least for me personally) this month as my investment group has taken over the first place this month. The investment competition is based on risk-adjusted returns and also takes into account volatility, the so-called M². At the moment of writing, we have an M² of approximately 11% and the number 2 has an M² of approximately 1%. Our portfolio consists mainly of commodities and low-volatility stocks. So far this seems to work this year.</p> <p>As for my own portfolio, I made a total of 10 transactions and I decided to finally part ways with Altria (MO). The reason for this is that I expect the future to be a lot harder for the company. It also does not fit my investment criteria as the industry is slowly dying. Thus, I decided to sell out of the position. The other sale I made this month was Aspire Global <span>(OTCPK:ASPGF)</span>, which is being acquired by Neogames and thus the share price will be range-bound.</p> <h2>Transactions</h2> <p><strong>Rules</strong></p> <span><table> <colgroup> <col/> <col/> <col/> <col/> </colgroup> <tr> <td> </td> <td><p><strong>Core</strong></p></td> <td><p><strong>Value</strong></p></td> <td><p><strong>Small-cap growth</strong></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p><strong>Buy</strong></p></td> <td><ul> <li><p>Strong companies with revenue CAGR of +5% over the last 10 years</p></li> <li><p>EPS CAGR of +5% over last 5 years</p></li> <li><p>ROE above industry average or above 10 (at least 3 out of 5 years)</p></li> <li><p>DGI stock dividend growth</p></li> <li><p>ND/EBITDA below sector average or D/E below 1.</p></li> <li><p>Buy when undervalued div yield theory + DCF (or what I think fits)</p></li> <li><p>Dividend stocks: Chowder rule above 12 for normal, 8 for high yield</p></li> </ul></td> <td><ul> <li><p>Sold off, without valid reasons</p></li> <li><p>Undervalued compared to the broader industry</p></li> <li><p>Margin of safety 25%+</p></li> </ul></td> <td><ul> <li><p>MC below $6b</p></li> <li><p>Revenue growth of 20%+</p></li> <li><p>Undervalued based on FCF/EV revenue or other valuation methods deemed appropriate</p></li> <li><p>Growing industry</p></li> <li><p>reasonable debt levels</p></li> <li><p>Net income positive within 3 years</p></li> <li><p>Decent insider ownership</p></li> </ul></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p><strong>Reconsider</strong></p></td> <td><ul> <li><p>20% overvalued</p></li> <li><p>dividend freeze</p></li> </ul></td> <td><ul><li><p>No progress is being made on goals set by management</p></li></ul></td> <td><ul> <li><p>Though environment</p></li> <li><p>High insider sell-off</p></li> </ul></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p><strong>Sell</strong></p></td> <td><ul> <li><p>Deteriorating industry</p></li> <li><p>Rapid increase in debt (longer period of time)</p></li> <li><p>Dividend cut dividend growth stocks(DGRO)</p></li> <li><p>Loss of IG rating</p></li> <li><p>Overvalued by 40%</p></li> </ul></td> <td><ul> <li><p>back at reasonable valuation</p></li> <li><p>Lose confidence in the ability of the company</p></li> </ul></td> <td><ul> <li><p>Deteriorating fundamentals</p></li> <li><p>Management proves itself to be untrustworthy</p></li> </ul></td> </tr> </table></span> <p><strong>1st-3rd of February</strong></p> <p><strong>CBOE Global (CBOE) - Bought 2 shares for $119.00 each</strong></p> <p>This month I decided to add to CBOE Global again. The company has been a good performer in my portfolio and its fundamentals are only getting better. The company is also well-run by long-term CEO Edward Tilly (CEO since 2013), and in my opinion, they are making moves in the right direction. Last month I wrote:</p><div></div> <blockquote><p>The company is making good strategic moves such as the acquisition of ErisX (crypto spot and derivatives market) and the acquisition of BIDS (off-exchange market). Additionally, the increase in options trading works in the company's favor.</p></blockquote> <p>I elaborated these 3 reasons in an article that you can find here. In addition to these 3 reasons the company is trading at an attractive valuation and has been increasing its dividends at a rate of 10%+ for the past few years. The company’s share price has fallen a bit since last month but that gives you the option to buy the stock at a better price.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466871429503736.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>CBOE price chart past 5 years <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Aspire Global - Sold 48 shares for 107.80 SEK each</strong></p> <p>As I mentioned before I sold my shares in Aspire Global this month, due to the pending takeover by Neogames. I am not as interested in Neogames as I was in Aspire Global and the stock is basically range-bound until the transaction goes through. The difference between selling the stock now and keeping it for another 3-4 months was approximately $16. Therefore, I decided to sell out.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466872506614885.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Price Aspire Global past 3 months <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Linkfire - Bought 650 shares for 6.10 SEK each</strong></p> <p>Linkfire is a stock that I have been regularly writing about in my portfolio updates. The company is active in the SmartLink industry and at the end of the year, the company bought its largest competitor. The company's fundamentals have improved significantly since going public, although this is not yet reflected in the share price. I expect the company to do well in the future as it is the clear market leader and expects to become EBITDA profitable in 2023. My current price target for the company is 16 SEK, which is approximately 10 SEK ($1.04, or almost triple its current share price) higher than its current share price. Thus, I decided to add to my shares at bargain-basement prices.</p><div></div> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-1646687312923003.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Linkfire EBITDA expectations <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>CoreCard (CCRD) - Bought 10 shares for $34.56 each</strong></p> <p>CoreCard is another smallcap that I think has a very bright future. The company is the issuer processor of the Goldman Sachs <span>(NYSE:GS)</span> Apple (AAPL) Creditcard and was chosen for its high-quality software. The company currently spends the bare minimum on marketing and most of its business comes from companies finding them on search engines or word-of-mouth marketing. The company’s focus is on the quality of its products as it is aiming for sustainable growth of 20%-25%. Technically, it could grow faster, but the company thinks that this would negatively influence the quality of its services.</p> <p>Over the past years, the company has been heavily investing in its infrastructure and it should have enough capacity to add another large client. Unfortunately, no new large clients are expected until at least 2023. In the meantime, the company might launch some customers that have the potential to be big by the end of 2022 (such as NEO banks and crypto companies), but there is no certainty about this yet. The price of CoreCard has taken a beating this year but I remain confident based on the above thesis. My price target is currently $48.94 based on a discounted cash flow analysis.</p> <p><figure><span><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466874380168734.png\"/></span><figcaption><p>Overview of CAPEX of CoreCard <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p><div></div> <p><strong>10th of February</strong></p> <p><strong>Altria (MO) - Sold 21 shares for $50.84 each</strong></p> <p>I mentioned the sale of my stake in Altria before. The company is still growing its net income and is paying a growing dividend. However, the company’s main business, cigarettes, have been on the decline for a long time now. The company has been able to offset this by raising the prices. However, I expect this to end in the future as people will not be able to afford it anymore. Additionally, the road to replacements to healthier initiatives has been hard and recently took a hit with the import ban of the IQOS device. As I think that the future will be a lot harder for the company, I decided to sell out.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"247\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466878000368156.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>CPI of tobacco over the past 10 years <span>(Federal Reserve St. Louis)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Netstreit (NTST) - Bought 22.4 shares for $22.07 each</strong></p> <p>As I wanted to soften the impact of the sale of MO on my dividends I decided to look at my REITs. Netstreit is a smaller REIT and I see potential for both capital appreciation and dividend increases. The company is still growing rapidly and it has acquired over $500 million in properties since going public. Their tenant roster is also very strong as over 70% of their tenants are investment grade and over 80% have an investment-grade profile. A more in-depth article about the company can be found here. As for the company’s valuation, I still see upside based on P/AFFO and discounted AFFO, these methods combined with my estimated value of the company’s NAV give me a price target of $27.06.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466878749078138.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Netstreit P/AFFO <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p><div></div> <p><strong>VICI Properties (VICI) - Bought 19.77 shares for $28.88 each</strong></p> <p>VICI Properties is another REIT that I decided to put money into. The company has been performing well and has been diversifying its tenant roster since spinning off from Caesars (CZR). During the past month, the company closed its acquisition of the Venetian, and later this year it is expected to close the merger with MGP. According to all the large credit rating agencies, this sets them up for an increase to investment grade. Combine this with a likely inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 (the company will be the largest REIT that is not included in the S&amp; P500) and the company becomes very attractive. As for the valuation, my estimated fair value is $37.35 based on a discounted AFFO, estimated NAV, and comparable company NTM P/AFFO.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466879741179667.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Overview of VICI's P/AFFO past 3 years <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>21st of February</strong></p> <p><strong>Ahold Delhaize (OTCQX:ADRNY) - Bought 7 shares for €26.61 each</strong></p> <p>Ahold Delhaize is a company that I also added to last month. The company has been performing very well during 2021. This was mainly driven by the fact that some regions still had Covid measures, leading to more disposable income that can be spent at the local grocery store. Additionally, the company’s online platform in the Benelux, Bol.com, also profited due to lockdowns throughout the year including a lockdown around Christmas in the Netherlands. After its earnings, the company did sell-off, as guidance was below expectations. Management of Ahold tends to do this more often as they did the same thing last year.</p> <blockquote><p>2022 outlook: underlying operating margin to be at least 4%; underlying EPS to decline by low- to mid-single-digits vs. 2021; free cash flow of approximately €1.7 billion; net capital expenditures of €2.5 billion.</p></blockquote> <p><strong>Prosus (OTCPK:PROSY) - Bought 3 shares for €61.74 each</strong></p><div></div> <p>Prosus is a South African venture capitalist that has its main listing in Amsterdam. The company is one of the largest shareholders of Tencent with a stake just shy of 30%. The value of its underlying assets exceeds the company’s market cap as its discount to Tencent is already over 30%. The reason it has been an underperformer this year is that it also owns some major stakes in Russian companies such as Mail.Ru and VK. Since the invasion of the Russians into Ukraine, the Russian stock market has tanked and I do not expect this to change anytime soon. However, at the current discount to NAV, I am happy to buy more.</p> <p><figure><picture> <img height=\"237\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466884320340133.png\" width=\"457\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Prosus intrinsic value calculation <span>(IEX (Kassa!))</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Interactive Brokers (IBKR) - Received 0.2753 shares</strong></p> <p>As I mentioned in previous updates, I switched to Interactive Brokers through a referral link.

The reason is threefold, first of all, real estate is less volatile than most other equities and thus it kept most of its value. Secondly, I work in real estate and therefore I feel like I have an advantage over other investors that do not have a background in real estate. Last but not least, real estate tends to do well during times of high inflation. For these reasons, I will continue to add to my real estate holdings.</p> <p>One of the sectors that I decreased significantly compared to last month is consumer staples. I have read multiple articles about the effect of war on the stock market, the most convincing one you can find here. The article I referred to has looked into the effect of previous wars on the US stock market and the main decreases are in consumer staples (which most articles agreed on), IT, and airlines. Because of this reason, I decided to take some precautions and lower my position in this sector.</p> <h2><span>Current holdings</span></h2> <span><table> <colgroup> <col/> <col span=\"2\"/> </colgroup> <tr> <td>Company</td> <td>Qty Held</td> <td>Portfolio %</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Enbridge (ENB)</td> <td>55</td> <td>6.47%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>AbbVie</td> <td>16</td> <td>6.25%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vici Properties</td> <td>73</td> <td>5.57%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>L3harris</td> <td>8</td> <td>5.35%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vonovia (OTCPK:VONOY)</td> <td>39</td> <td>5.27%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CBOE Global</td> <td>16</td> <td>4.88%</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RGA\">Reinsurance Group of America</a> (RGA)</td> <td>15</td> <td>4.26%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ahold-Delhaize</td> <td>53</td> <td>4.25%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Netstreit</td> <td>65</td> <td>3.90%</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> (V)</td> <td>7</td> <td>3.86%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Aroundtown (OTCPK:AANNF)</td> <td>251</td> <td>3.82%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Prudential Financial</td> <td>13</td> <td>3.73%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>CVS Health</td> <td>13</td> <td>3.70%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>DIC Asset AG (OTCPK:DDCCF)</td> <td>78</td> <td>3.33%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Broadcom (AVGO)</td> <td>2</td> <td>3.08%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fresenius &amp; Co.

If this happens I will most likely look for a replacement as I am currently happy with the number of holdings. As for new capital, I am looking at the following stocks:</p> <p><strong>Reinsurance Group of America</strong></p> <p>Reinsurance Group of America is a stock that I have been holding for over a year now. The company is still dealing with the aftershock of the pandemic. I do not expect the company to see any large effects from the war between Ukraine and Russia as the company only gets a small percentage of revenue from Europe. It might have a few smaller insurances linked to that region but that shouldn’t have a large effect on the company’s results. The company’s current valuation is also very attractive as I estimate the company’s fair value to be around $143.13 based on book value per share and the dividend yield theory. Leaving an upside of over 30% at the current price.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466608921347344.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Reinsurance Group of America dividend yield <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Alibaba</strong></p> <p>Alibaba is a company that has been heavily influenced by the political situation in China, as it has been one of the main targets of the crackdown by the Chinese government. Lately, the government has slowed down new rules and regulations. This does not mean that Alibaba is safe yet and the company’s Q3 results fell short of expectations. A positive note from the company’s Q3 was that it did grow in the areas it can control.</p> <p>As for the valuation, the company's share price has fallen by 2/3rds since its all-time high and over 55% over the past year. If I take into account the company’s growth prospects and the size of the Chinese market I still think that the company has a bright future, only time will tell if this is right. As for the valuation I estimate a fair value of $212.64 based on a DCF analysis and PEG, which is approximately double the current share price.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466609595575793.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>NTM P/E of Alibaba over the past 5 years <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>TJ Maxx</strong></p> <p>TJ Maxx is one of my smaller positions as the company has been trading above its fair value for quite some time now. After the announcement of the Q4 results, the company’s share price finally came down to my estimated fair value. If the price continues to be in this range I will add as I still view TJ Maxx as a very strong company. I currently do not think that this will change any time soon, as high inflation will lead to less disposable income and I view this as a positive for TJX. My estimated fair value is $61.21 based on a DCF and the dividend yield theory. If I am able to buy more shares around this price I will gladly add to my holdings.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/7/50049735-16466610749253912.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>TJX dividend yield <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Fresenius</strong></p> <p>Fresenius is a company that has been heavily influenced by the pandemic. The company could not operate the majority of its normal business and had to delay most of its operations that bring in the majority of the money. The company was compensated to an extent by the German government but this has had a huge effect on the company's revenue-generating ability. During the conference call, the company provided guidance that fell short of expectations and shares have fallen to a PE of 7.95, which is similar to the PE the company had during the heights of the corona market crash. Based on a DCF analysis and the dividend yield theory I have a price target of approximately €54, which is around double the company’s current share price.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/8/50049735-164677220821969.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Fresenius NTM P/E <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><strong>Power REIT</strong></p> <p>Power REIT is a REIT that focuses on greenhouse cultivation properties used in the cannabis industry. The company has been on a buying spree since switching its strategy and if all acquisitions are operational the company will trade at a P/FFO of 12.7 (FFO run rate is estimated to be $3.68). However, it is possible that there will be more competition in the future, if and when the federal banking laws are passed, banks will be allowed to grant loans to cannabis properties. Additionally, if Cannabis becomes a legal substance the company’s rents will be revised to a rent capitalization rate of 9%, which means that rents will be adjusted between 2-8%.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/8/50049735-1646772278947089.png\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>PW NTM P/FFO <span>(Tikr.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>This month has been a tough month for equity markets due to the invasion of Russia into Ukraine. This will have a prolonged effect on equity markets as most companies will quit their businesses in Russia (and if sanctions remain in place, will have to in the foreseeable future). However, volatile markets bring opportunities and I will continue to add to my portfolio every 2 to 3 weeks.</p> <p>Dividends this month were a mere $28.05, but this was up $16.57 compared to last year. The main reason was the addition of new capital. Furthermore, 4 companies raised their dividends, and together with the addition of new capital, my forward dividend yield is now €811.25 ($900.04).</p> <p>I hope you enjoyed the update about my progress, and I would love to hear your thoughts on my portfolio and what you would like to see in future updates.</p>\n</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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>My Portfolio February Update - 8 Buys And 2 Sells</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\">\nMy Portfolio February Update - 8 Buys And 2 Sells\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-09 07:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4493866-my-portfolio-february-update-8-buys-and-2-sells><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>franckreporter/iStock via Getty Images Another month has passed and it has been a rough one.

The stock market has mostly ended in the red and one topic continued to catch new headlines. Unfortunately, it looks like this topic will remain in the headlines for the foreseeable future given the invasion of Russia into Ukraine at the end of February. As for my portfolio, I had a total of 8 buys and 2 sells. For the people that have not read my previous articles: I am a 24-year-old investor from the Netherlands who is trying to start early so that I will have the option to retire early or at least earlier (the current retirement age is 67 in NL and is trending upwards). If you are interested in previous updates on my portfolio, you can find them here:  My Portfolio November Update - Repositioning For The New Year My Portfolio December And EOY Update - Dividends Increased But Total Return Is Subpar My Portfolio January Update - 10 Buys, 3 Sells  February update February has been a very volatile month and after dealing with Covid-19 we now have a potential world war. Unless you have been living under a rock, you will be aware of the war in Ukraine. A lot of sanctions have been imposed on Russia in order to force them to stop, unfortunately, to no avail. Since the start of the war and the first announcement of sanctions, markets have been very volatile. This can be of good use for investors that add to their portfolio, but the reason remains sad. There was also good news (at least for me personally) this month as my investment group has taken over the first place this month. The investment competition is based on risk-adjusted returns and also takes into account volatility, the so-called M². At the moment of writing, we have an M² of approximately 11% and the number 2 has an M² of approximately 1%. Our portfolio consists mainly of commodities and low-volatility stocks. So far this seems to work this year. As for my own portfolio, I made a total of 10 transactions and I decided to finally part ways with Altria (MO). The reason for this is that I expect the future to be a lot harder for the company. It also does not fit my investment criteria as the industry is slowly dying. Thus, I decided to sell out of the position. The other sale I made this month was Aspire Global (OTCPK:ASPGF), which is being acquired by Neogames and thus the share price will be range-bound. Transactions Rules           Core Value Small-cap growth   Buy  Strong companies with revenue CAGR of +5% over the last 10 years EPS CAGR of +5% over last 5 years ROE above industry average or above 10 (at least 3 out of 5 years) DGI stock dividend growth ND/EBITDA below sector average or D/E below 1.

The company has been a good performer in my portfolio and its fundamentals are only getting better. The company is also well-run by long-term CEO Edward Tilly (CEO since 2013), and in my opinion, they are making moves in the right direction. Last month I wrote: The company is making good strategic moves such as the acquisition of ErisX (crypto spot and derivatives market) and the acquisition of BIDS (off-exchange market). Additionally, the increase in options trading works in the company's favor. I elaborated these 3 reasons in an article that you can find here. In addition to these 3 reasons the company is trading at an attractive valuation and has been increasing its dividends at a rate of 10%+ for the past few years. The company’s share price has fallen a bit since last month but that gives you the option to buy the stock at a better price. CBOE price chart past 5 years (Tikr.com) Aspire Global - Sold 48 shares for 107.80 SEK each As I mentioned before I sold my shares in Aspire Global this month, due to the pending takeover by Neogames. I am not as interested in Neogames as I was in Aspire Global and the stock is basically range-bound until the transaction goes through. The difference between selling the stock now and keeping it for another 3-4 months was approximately $16. Therefore, I decided to sell out. Price Aspire Global past 3 months (Tikr.com) Linkfire - Bought 650 shares for 6.10 SEK each Linkfire is a stock that I have been regularly writing about in my portfolio updates. The company is active in the SmartLink industry and at the end of the year, the company bought its largest competitor. The company's fundamentals have improved significantly since going public, although this is not yet reflected in the share price. I expect the company to do well in the future as it is the clear market leader and expects to become EBITDA profitable in 2023. My current price target for the company is 16 SEK, which is approximately 10 SEK ($1.04, or almost triple its current share price) higher than its current share price. Thus, I decided to add to my shares at bargain-basement prices. Linkfire EBITDA expectations (Tikr.com) CoreCard (CCRD) - Bought 10 shares for $34.56 each CoreCard is another smallcap that I think has a very bright future. The company is the issuer processor of the Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) Apple (AAPL) Creditcard and was chosen for its high-quality software. The company currently spends the bare minimum on marketing and most of its business comes from companies finding them on search engines or word-of-mouth marketing. The company’s focus is on the quality of its products as it is aiming for sustainable growth of 20%-25%. Technically, it could grow faster, but the company thinks that this would negatively influence the quality of its services. Over the past years, the company has been heavily investing in its infrastructure and it should have enough capacity to add another large client. Unfortunately, no new large clients are expected until at least 2023. In the meantime, the company might launch some customers that have the potential to be big by the end of 2022 (such as NEO banks and crypto companies), but there is no certainty about this yet. The price of CoreCard has taken a beating this year but I remain confident based on the above thesis. My price target is currently $48.94 based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Overview of CAPEX of CoreCard (Tikr.com) 10th of February Altria (MO) - Sold 21 shares for $50.84 each I mentioned the sale of my stake in Altria before. The company is still growing its net income and is paying a growing dividend. However, the company’s main business, cigarettes, have been on the decline for a long time now. The company has been able to offset this by raising the prices. However, I expect this to end in the future as people will not be able to afford it anymore. Additionally, the road to replacements to healthier initiatives has been hard and recently took a hit with the import ban of the IQOS device. As I think that the future will be a lot harder for the company, I decided to sell out. CPI of tobacco over the past 10 years (Federal Reserve St. Louis) Netstreit (NTST) - Bought 22.4 shares for $22.07 each As I wanted to soften the impact of the sale of MO on my dividends I decided to look at my REITs. Netstreit is a smaller REIT and I see potential for both capital appreciation and dividend increases. The company is still growing rapidly and it has acquired over $500 million in properties since going public. Their tenant roster is also very strong as over 70% of their tenants are investment grade and over 80% have an investment-grade profile. A more in-depth article about the company can be found here. As for the company’s valuation, I still see upside based on P/AFFO and discounted AFFO, these methods combined with my estimated value of the company’s NAV give me a price target of $27.06. Netstreit P/AFFO (Tikr.com) VICI Properties (VICI) - Bought 19.77 shares for $28.88 each VICI Properties is another REIT that I decided to put money into. The company has been performing well and has been diversifying its tenant roster since spinning off from Caesars (CZR). During the past month, the company closed its acquisition of the Venetian, and later this year it is expected to close the merger with MGP. According to all the large credit rating agencies, this sets them up for an increase to investment grade. Combine this with a likely inclusion in the S&P 500 (the company will be the largest REIT that is not included in the S& P500) and the company becomes very attractive. As for the valuation, my estimated fair value is $37.35 based on a discounted AFFO, estimated NAV, and comparable company NTM P/AFFO. Overview of VICI's P/AFFO past 3 years (Tikr.com) 21st of February Ahold Delhaize (OTCQX:ADRNY) - Bought 7 shares for €26.61 each Ahold Delhaize is a company that I also added to last month. The company has been performing very well during 2021. This was mainly driven by the fact that some regions still had Covid measures, leading to more disposable income that can be spent at the local grocery store. Additionally, the company’s online platform in the Benelux, Bol.com, also profited due to lockdowns throughout the year including a lockdown around Christmas in the Netherlands. After its earnings, the company did sell-off, as guidance was below expectations. Management of Ahold tends to do this more often as they did the same thing last year. 2022 outlook: underlying operating margin to be at least 4%; underlying EPS to decline by low- to mid-single-digits vs. 2021; free cash flow of approximately €1.7 billion; net capital expenditures of €2.5 billion. Prosus (OTCPK:PROSY) - Bought 3 shares for €61.74 each Prosus is a South African venture capitalist that has its main listing in Amsterdam. The company is one of the largest shareholders of Tencent with a stake just shy of 30%. The value of its underlying assets exceeds the company’s market cap as its discount to Tencent is already over 30%. The reason it has been an underperformer this year is that it also owns some major stakes in Russian companies such as Mail.Ru and VK. Since the invasion of the Russians into Ukraine, the Russian stock market has tanked and I do not expect this to change anytime soon. However, at the current discount to NAV, I am happy to buy more.   Prosus intrinsic value calculation (IEX (Kassa!)) Interactive Brokers (IBKR) - Received 0.2753 shares As I mentioned in previous updates, I switched to Interactive Brokers through a referral link. This means that I receive free shares whenever I put money in my account. I have to hold these for a certain time but I am not planning to add money to this position at the moment.

The main reason for the increase is the addition of more AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) shares, as well as a minor increase in CVS’s dividend.

However, by replacing it with some of my REITs the blow was softened. Additionally, many companies decided to raise their dividends and the USD appreciated in value against the Euro. in the end my dividend was up by approximately €10 after-tax, but down $13 due to FX. My total forward dividend yield is now €811.25 ($900.04).

The reason is threefold, first of all, real estate is less volatile than most other equities and thus it kept most of its value. Secondly, I work in real estate and therefore I feel like I have an advantage over other investors that do not have a background in real estate. Last but not least, real estate tends to do well during times of high inflation. For these reasons, I will continue to add to my real estate holdings. One of the sectors that I decreased significantly compared to last month is consumer staples. I have read multiple articles about the effect of war on the stock market, the most convincing one you can find here. The article I referred to has looked into the effect of previous wars on the US stock market and the main decreases are in consumer staples (which most articles agreed on), IT, and airlines. Because of this reason, I decided to take some precautions and lower my position in this sector.

If this happens I will most likely look for a replacement as I am currently happy with the number of holdings. As for new capital, I am looking at the following stocks: Reinsurance Group of America Reinsurance Group of America is a stock that I have been holding for over a year now. The company is still dealing with the aftershock of the pandemic. I do not expect the company to see any large effects from the war between Ukraine and Russia as the company only gets a small percentage of revenue from Europe. It might have a few smaller insurances linked to that region but that shouldn’t have a large effect on the company’s results. The company’s current valuation is also very attractive as I estimate the company’s fair value to be around $143.13 based on book value per share and the dividend yield theory. Leaving an upside of over 30% at the current price. Reinsurance Group of America dividend yield (Tikr.com) Alibaba Alibaba is a company that has been heavily influenced by the political situation in China, as it has been one of the main targets of the crackdown by the Chinese government. Lately, the government has slowed down new rules and regulations. This does not mean that Alibaba is safe yet and the company’s Q3 results fell short of expectations. A positive note from the company’s Q3 was that it did grow in the areas it can control. As for the valuation, the company's share price has fallen by 2/3rds since its all-time high and over 55% over the past year. If I take into account the company’s growth prospects and the size of the Chinese market I still think that the company has a bright future, only time will tell if this is right. As for the valuation I estimate a fair value of $212.64 based on a DCF analysis and PEG, which is approximately double the current share price. NTM P/E of Alibaba over the past 5 years (Tikr.com) TJ Maxx TJ Maxx is one of my smaller positions as the company has been trading above its fair value for quite some time now. After the announcement of the Q4 results, the company’s share price finally came down to my estimated fair value. If the price continues to be in this range I will add as I still view TJ Maxx as a very strong company. I currently do not think that this will change any time soon, as high inflation will lead to less disposable income and I view this as a positive for TJX. My estimated fair value is $61.21 based on a DCF and the dividend yield theory. If I am able to buy more shares around this price I will gladly add to my holdings. TJX dividend yield (Tikr.com) Fresenius Fresenius is a company that has been heavily influenced by the pandemic. The company could not operate the majority of its normal business and had to delay most of its operations that bring in the majority of the money. The company was compensated to an extent by the German government but this has had a huge effect on the company's revenue-generating ability. During the conference call, the company provided guidance that fell short of expectations and shares have fallen to a PE of 7.95, which is similar to the PE the company had during the heights of the corona market crash. Based on a DCF analysis and the dividend yield theory I have a price target of approximately €54, which is around double the company’s current share price. Fresenius NTM P/E (Tikr.com) Power REIT Power REIT is a REIT that focuses on greenhouse cultivation properties used in the cannabis industry. The company has been on a buying spree since switching its strategy and if all acquisitions are operational the company will trade at a P/FFO of 12.7 (FFO run rate is estimated to be $3.68). However, it is possible that there will be more competition in the future, if and when the federal banking laws are passed, banks will be allowed to grant loans to cannabis properties. Additionally, if Cannabis becomes a legal substance the company’s rents will be revised to a rent capitalization rate of 9%, which means that rents will be adjusted between 2-8%. PW NTM P/FFO (Tikr.com) Conclusion This month has been a tough month for equity markets due to the invasion of Russia into Ukraine. This will have a prolonged effect on equity markets as most companies will quit their businesses in Russia (and if sanctions remain in place, will have to in the foreseeable future). However, volatile markets bring opportunities and I will continue to add to my portfolio every 2 to 3 weeks. Dividends this month were a mere $28.05, but this was up $16.57 compared to last year. The main reason was the addition of new capital. Furthermore, 4 companies raised their dividends, and together with the addition of new capital, my forward dividend yield is now €811.25 ($900.04). I hope you enjoyed the update about my progress, and I would love to hear your thoughts on my portfolio and what you would like to see in future updates.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":395,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9031488356,"gmtCreate":1646644180981,"gmtModify":1676534146183,"author":{"id":"4101385200335300","authorId":"4101385200335300","name":"kenfoo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101385200335300","authorIdStr":"4101385200335300"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9031488356","repostId":"2217416315","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
