Berkshire Hathaway</b></p><p>If you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio? Particularly when you can buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway directly and get exposure to all of the stocks in the company&#39;s portfolio, its subsidiaries, and its real estate, insurance, and energy businesses. In addition to Apple, Verizon, Amazon, and Snowflake, Berkshire Hathaway also owns substantial stakes in companies including <b>Bank of America</b>,<b>American Express</b>,<b>Coca-Cola</b>, and other industry-leading names.</p><p>Even after buying back more than $20 billion worth of its own stock last year, the investment conglomerate has a massive pool of resources and ended its third quarter with a record $149 billion in cash on the books. Owning Berkshire Hathaway stock means that when Buffett and his team of analysts go shopping with that money, your own portfolio gets exposure to those buys before they&#39;re made known to the public.</p></body></html>","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>Got $3,000? 5 Buffett Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever</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\">\nGot $3,000? 5 Buffett Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-20 15:23 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/19/got-3000-5-buffett-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-forever/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett stands atop the pantheon of history's most successful investors.

The company's strength in e-commerce and cloud services has helped it rapidly build its position in the digital advertising market, and Amazon's excellent collection of resources and proven penchant for innovation suggest that it will be able to continue scoring wins in new categories that drive growth and complement its existing businesses.5. Berkshire HathawayIf you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio? Particularly when you can buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway directly and get exposure to all of the stocks in the company's portfolio, its subsidiaries, and its real estate, insurance, and energy businesses. In addition to Apple, Verizon, Amazon, and Snowflake, Berkshire Hathaway also owns substantial stakes in companies including Bank of America,American Express,Coca-Cola, and other industry-leading names.Even after buying back more than $20 billion worth of its own stock last year, the investment conglomerate has a massive pool of resources and ended its third quarter with a record $149 billion in cash on the books. Owning Berkshire Hathaway stock means that when Buffett and his team of analysts go shopping with that money, your own portfolio gets exposure to those buys before they're made known to the public.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":391,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004072663,"gmtCreate":1642465470924,"gmtModify":1676533712714,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I like netflix bt with competition.

But finding the right investment, the ‘one’ that will bring profits, no matter what direction the overall markets take, can sometimes be challenging.The two simplest courses of action an investor can take to ensure solid returns are based on common sense. The first is, to buy low and sell high. That is, find a cheap stock with sound fundamentals and good prospects for growth – and buy in to take advantage of the growth potential. The second common sense move is to buy stocks that will pay you back. That is, buy into dividend stocks.Today we’re going to look at two stocks that offer investors the best from both of those routes toward market success. According to TipRanks' database, these are Strong Buys, with a dividend yield up to 7% and substantial upside potential. And all that for a cost of entry below $5.National CineMedia (NCMI)The first stock we'll look at lives in a fascinating niche, one that most of us almost certainly never think about. National CineMedia is in the advertising business, creating, producing, and distributing ads that run before the movies in the theater start. The company benefits from having something of a captive audience, one already cued to watch what’s on the screen.Unsurprisingly, NCMI shares plummeted back in February of 2020, when the corona pandemic forced closures of the movie theater chains. And equally unsurprisingly, the stock has not regained its pre-corona price levels.In the most recent quarter reported, for 3Q21, NCMI showed $31.7 million at the top line. While well short of pre-pandemic levels (which regularly exceeded $100 million), and while it missed the Street’s estimates by approximately 25%, it was still up a whopping 428% year-over-year. Also, it was the second quarter in a row of increasing revenues, and even after a year or more of pandemic-related headwinds, NCMI still has $64.4 million in cash assets available.Those cash assets are helping to fund the company’s dividend, which it has been careful to continue to paying out during the corona crisis. While National CineMedia has been forced to lower the payment, it has been able to maintain the dividend for the past two years without missing a quarterly payment. The most recent dividend, paid in December, was set at 5 cents per common share, or 20 cents annualized, which gives a yield of 7.3%. This compares favorably to the average yield found among peer stocks, which is currently about 2%.In coverage of this stock for B. Riley Securities, 5-star analyst Eric Wold writes: “We remain positive on the opportunity for the 'lights down' strategy to differentiate NCMI's offering vs. the emerging AVOD networks—given that NCMI's platform can offer a larger and more captive audience of key demographics. While we are modeling NCMI's advertising revenues throughout 2022/2023 to, more or less, mirror box office and attendance patterns, we would expect to see some positive separation in the coming quarters as NCMI benefits from stronger inventory utilization and higher CPMs…”Wold also turns to the company’s liquidity situation, adding, “Not only did NCMI have enough liquidity to push through year-end and into January (with LLC cash + additional revolver capacity + the Inc. loan), the company will start to benefit from incoming cash flow on the stronger 4Q21 seasonality and monetization of the upfront advertising commitments.”Based on these comments, Wold gives NCMI stock a Buy rating, and his $6 price target suggests it has ~119% room to run this year. (To watch Wold’s track record, click here)Wall Street seems to share Wold's view here, as the stock has 4 positive reviews to back its Strong Buy consensus rating. The shares are priced at $2.74 and have an average price target of $5.38, suggesting ~96% gains for 2022. (See NMCI stock forecast on TipRanks)loanDepot, Inc. (LDI)Next up is loanDepot, an originate-to-sell lending platform focused on residential mortgage products, with a multi-channel go-to-market strategy that uses both a direct branded presence as well as varied partnerships.loanDepot is relatively new to the public markets, as it only held its IPO in February of last year. The company, however, has been buffeted by problems since its IPO. First, the company operates in a highly competitive niche, nonbank retail mortgage lending; second, loanDepot has been forced to face several lawsuits in the last few months, involving allegations of business fraud and employee discrimination. All of this has put heavy headwinds in the way of the company.The company has strengths, however, allowing it to meet the challenges. To start with, the company’s most recent fiscal report, for 3Q21, showed the ninth quarter in a row of year-over-year market share growth, as its share grew 46% to 3.5%. Furthermore, the company reported $923.8 million at the top line. While this was down from $1.36 billion in the year-ago quarter, it was up a solid 18% from Q2. EPS did even better, growing from 7 cents in Q2 to 40 cents in Q3. loanDepot reported having $506 million in cash at the end of Q3, a value that has grown steadily since the end of December 2020.The revenues and earnings, and the solid cash holding, all combined to give the company confidence to keep up the dividend. LDI’s most recent declaration was 8 cents per share, its third in a row at that level. With an annualized payment of 32 cents per common share, the company gives a dividend yield of 6.5%.Kevin Barker, 5-star analyst from Piper Sandler, takes a bullish stand on LDI, writing: “In our view, LDI appears better positioned to weather the current rate cycle, which should allow the company to remain reasonably profitable despite heavy competition. This should lead to downside protection via incremental book value growth while an unexpected turn in the market (i.e. rates move lower) could lead to a significant jump higher in the stock.”Barker takes this upbeat stance despite the pending lawsuits. He does not avoid that headwind, but he does not see it as decisive at this time. Barker writes of the suits, “We cannot ignore these allegations and we do not know if they have merit.

If you were lucky enough to own a $3,000 stake in <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) when he took control of the company in 1965, that position would now be worth nearly $81 million.</p><p>The Oracle of Omaha&#39;s knack for finding high-quality long-term investment opportunities has led to market-crushing results, and his storied performance means the investing world tends to keep a close eye on his company&#39;s holdings. Let&#39;s take a closer look at five top stocks backed by Berkshire Hathaway that are worth buying and holding for the long term.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a99bd55ae86722cb44e242a3e8fcd151\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.</span></p><p><b>1. Apple</b></p><p>With <b>Apple</b>&#39;s (NASDAQ:AAPL) share price having surged roughly 32.1% over the last year and the company currently sporting a market capitalization of more than $2.76 trillion, it&#39;s not unreasonable to look at the stock with a bit of a cautious eye. On the other hand, there&#39;s basically never been a bad time for<i>long-term</i>investors to buy the stock in the company&#39;s history.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/807818ed8a5e4c2574220b38b5cf3a64\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p><p>Apple stands as the largest stock holding in the Berkshire portfolio, by far. Based on the last 13F filing from Buffett&#39;s company, the iPhone-maker accounts for nearly 43% of the investment conglomerate&#39;s stock holdings. That signifies an incredible vote of confidence from the modern era&#39;s most successful investor.</p><p>Between its market-leading mobile hardware and fast-growing software and services ecosystem, Apple&#39;s core businesses continue to look very strong, and it&#39;s likely that the company will also score wins in some exciting new fields. The California-based tech giant is already a leader in the wearable technology space, and it has huge opportunities in augmented reality hardware, autonomous electric vehicles, and other emerging product categories. The recent run-up in valuation means investors may want todollar-cost averageinto Apple stock, but the company looks well-positioned to continue growing over the long term.</p><p><b>2. Verizon</b></p><p>With a multi-billion-dollar investment in the fourth quarter of 2020, Berkshire Hathaway quickly made <b>Verizon Communications</b> (NYSE:VZ) one of its largest stock holdings. Internet communications are at the heart of modern business operations, and the telecom giant&#39;s top-rated service and infrastructure advantages should help it continue to be a category leader.</p><p>Verizon has been spending big to secure spectrum band and build out infrastructure for5G, but it&#39;s still in the early stages of benefiting from the rollout of the next-generation network technology. In addition to offering consumers a major leap forward with upload and download speeds, Verizon&#39;s 5G service will likely also help boost sales and earnings in the enterprise market.</p><p>With shares trading at roughly 10 times this year&#39;s expected earnings and sporting a 4.8% dividend yield, Verizon stock continues to look attractively valued. Investors even have a chance to buy the stock at prices lower than Berkshire got in at.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b30d6f848f83c57969cb29b9d24b3d1b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>VZ DATA BY YCHARTS.</span></p><p><b>3. Snowflake</b></p><p>As a cloud software-as-a-service stock that trades at lofty price-to-sales multiple,<b>Snowflake</b> (NYSE:SNOW) is one of the more unusual companies in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. While the investment conglomerate has gradually been shifting more of its portfolio weight toward the technology sector, it&#39;s still pretty eye-catching to see Buffett get behind a company that trades at roughly 83 times this year&#39;s expected sales.</p><p>It&#39;s clear that the Oracle of Omaha and the investment team at Berkshire see something special in the data warehousing and analytics player. Snowflake&#39;s platform allows data to be gathered and analyzed from otherwise walled-off sources, enabling applications to have quick and easy access to a much wider spectrum of valuable information. The company offers category-leading service in its niche, and with more customers joining its platform and bringing along valuable data, it&#39;s benefiting from a network effect that could produce a powerful long-term moat.</p><p><b>4. Amazon</b></p><p>Perhaps more so than any other company,<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN) is built to win the future. The company&#39;s core e-commerce and cloud infrastructure businesses look poised for strong growth over the long term as these industries continue to grow, and its core business pillars should provide the foundation for new growth bets that help the company continue to expand.</p><p>With a market cap of more than $1.6 trillion, Amazon is already a massive company, but it still has plenty of room for growth over the long term. The company&#39;s strength in e-commerce and cloud services has helped it rapidly build its position in the digital advertising market, and Amazon&#39;s excellent collection of resources and proven penchant for innovation suggest that it will be able to continue scoring wins in new categories that drive growth and complement its existing businesses.</p><p><b>5. Berkshire Hathaway</b></p><p>If you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio?

If you were lucky enough to own a $3,000 stake in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) when he took control of the company in 1965, that position would now be worth nearly $81 million.The Oracle of Omaha's knack for finding high-quality long-term investment opportunities has led to market-crushing results, and his storied performance means the investing world tends to keep a close eye on his company's holdings. Let's take a closer look at five top stocks backed by Berkshire Hathaway that are worth buying and holding for the long term.IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.1. AppleWith Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) share price having surged roughly 32.1% over the last year and the company currently sporting a market capitalization of more than $2.76 trillion, it's not unreasonable to look at the stock with a bit of a cautious eye. On the other hand, there's basically never been a bad time forlong-terminvestors to buy the stock in the company's history.AAPL DATA BY YCHARTSApple stands as the largest stock holding in the Berkshire portfolio, by far. Based on the last 13F filing from Buffett's company, the iPhone-maker accounts for nearly 43% of the investment conglomerate's stock holdings. That signifies an incredible vote of confidence from the modern era's most successful investor.Between its market-leading mobile hardware and fast-growing software and services ecosystem, Apple's core businesses continue to look very strong, and it's likely that the company will also score wins in some exciting new fields. The California-based tech giant is already a leader in the wearable technology space, and it has huge opportunities in augmented reality hardware, autonomous electric vehicles, and other emerging product categories. The recent run-up in valuation means investors may want todollar-cost averageinto Apple stock, but the company looks well-positioned to continue growing over the long term.2. VerizonWith a multi-billion-dollar investment in the fourth quarter of 2020, Berkshire Hathaway quickly made Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) one of its largest stock holdings. Internet communications are at the heart of modern business operations, and the telecom giant's top-rated service and infrastructure advantages should help it continue to be a category leader.Verizon has been spending big to secure spectrum band and build out infrastructure for5G, but it's still in the early stages of benefiting from the rollout of the next-generation network technology. In addition to offering consumers a major leap forward with upload and download speeds, Verizon's 5G service will likely also help boost sales and earnings in the enterprise market.With shares trading at roughly 10 times this year's expected earnings and sporting a 4.8% dividend yield, Verizon stock continues to look attractively valued. Investors even have a chance to buy the stock at prices lower than Berkshire got in at.VZ DATA BY YCHARTS.3. SnowflakeAs a cloud software-as-a-service stock that trades at lofty price-to-sales multiple,Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is one of the more unusual companies in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. While the investment conglomerate has gradually been shifting more of its portfolio weight toward the technology sector, it's still pretty eye-catching to see Buffett get behind a company that trades at roughly 83 times this year's expected sales.It's clear that the Oracle of Omaha and the investment team at Berkshire see something special in the data warehousing and analytics player. Snowflake's platform allows data to be gathered and analyzed from otherwise walled-off sources, enabling applications to have quick and easy access to a much wider spectrum of valuable information. The company offers category-leading service in its niche, and with more customers joining its platform and bringing along valuable data, it's benefiting from a network effect that could produce a powerful long-term moat.4. AmazonPerhaps more so than any other company,Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) is built to win the future. The company's core e-commerce and cloud infrastructure businesses look poised for strong growth over the long term as these industries continue to grow, and its core business pillars should provide the foundation for new growth bets that help the company continue to expand.With a market cap of more than $1.6 trillion, Amazon is already a massive company, but it still has plenty of room for growth over the long term. The company's strength in e-commerce and cloud services has helped it rapidly build its position in the digital advertising market, and Amazon's excellent collection of resources and proven penchant for innovation suggest that it will be able to continue scoring wins in new categories that drive growth and complement its existing businesses.5. Berkshire HathawayIf you want to invest like Buffett, why limit yourself to picking just a handful of stocks in the Berkshire portfolio? Particularly when you can buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway directly and get exposure to all of the stocks in the company's portfolio, its subsidiaries, and its real estate, insurance, and energy businesses. In addition to Apple, Verizon, Amazon, and Snowflake, Berkshire Hathaway also owns substantial stakes in companies including Bank of America,American Express,Coca-Cola, and other industry-leading names.Even after buying back more than $20 billion worth of its own stock last year, the investment conglomerate has a massive pool of resources and ended its third quarter with a record $149 billion in cash on the books. Owning Berkshire Hathaway stock means that when Buffett and his team of analysts go shopping with that money, your own portfolio gets exposure to those buys before they're made known to the public.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":391,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005818303,"gmtCreate":1642225554511,"gmtModify":1676533694552,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I just bougjt their shares.... noooooo!!!!","listText":"I just bougjt their shares.... noooooo!!!!","text":"I just bougjt their shares.... noooooo!!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005818303","repostId":"1108262883","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":406,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581978054709801","authorId":"3581978054709801","name":"Nickystonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ea10f153b0e264f05c7d19fcc08cdee","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581978054709801","authorIdStr":"3581978054709801"},"content":"they are a good company. just that it is a Chinese stock. tough","text":"they are a good company. just that it is a Chinese stock. tough","html":"they are a good company. just that it is a Chinese stock. tough"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9095494057,"gmtCreate":1644970680067,"gmtModify":1676533981072,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9095494057","repostId":"2211342606","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2211342606","pubTimestamp":1644970416,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2211342606?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-16 08:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase Eyes Challenge to Western Union With Crypto Remittances","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2211342606","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Coinbase Global Inc., the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is wading into the international mon","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Coinbase Global Inc., the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is wading into the international money-transfer business, seeking to tap into a huge market dominated by firms like Western Union Co.</p><p>Coinbase said it has launched a free pilot program for sending crypto funds to friends and family in Mexico.

They were some of the","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) reported results for its fourth quarter on Feb. 1. They were some of the theater chain’s best results in recent memory. AMC stock gained more than 10%on the news.</p><p>“AMC’s 2021 results improved significantly as the year progressed, and we finished the year with the strongest quarter in two years,” AMC CEO Adam Aron stated in the company’s news release.</p><p>“The fourth quarter of 2021 marks a meaningful milestone with positive EBITDA of more than $145 million, positive Operating Cash Generated of more than $215 million, and a record year-ending liquidity position of $1.8 billion.”</p><p>Although it appears AMC has made strides in the right direction, the final part of Aron’s comments about liquidity stick in my craw.</p><p>Here’s why.</p><p>AMC Stock Gets Temporary Relief</p><p>While AMC stock gained more than 10% on the news, its share price has been trending down for some time. Over the past six months, it’s lost 58% of its value. As a result, it now trades just $3 above its share price in May 2021, when the gravy train began for AMC’s CEO.</p><p>Of course, Aron will be confident of the company’s progress. Selling the AMC story has made him a wealthy man. Aron sold more than $40 million in stock in the last three months. As I’ve said in the past, it’s a nice retirement gift from retail investors.</p><p>But if you think about it, all the CEO has accomplished over the past two years is keep AMC from going bankrupt. He hasn’t developed a way forward that diversifies its revenue streams.</p><p>As for liquidity, AMC finished the fourth quarter with $1.8 billion in liquidity, comprised of $1.59 billion in cash and cash equivalents, along with $209.1 million left on its$225 million credit facility.</p><p>That’s temporary relief, in my opinion.</p><p>AMC Lowers Its Interest Expense</p><p>On Feb. 2, it announced that it was selling$500 million in first lien senior secured notes due 2029. While the press release doesn’t mention interest rates, presumably it will be less than 10.5%, the rate it pays for similar notes due 2025. AMC plans to use the proceeds plus cash to redeem its 2025 notes.</p><p>I’m not going to argue with the move. It extends out $500 million of its long-term debt by four years while reducing its annual interest expense.</p><p>However, AMC’s biggest problem is too much debt and negligible profits.</p><p>At the end of September, AMC had $5.49 billion in long-term obligations at interest rates between 2.95% and 17%.

They were some of the theater chain’s best results in recent memory. AMC stock gained more than 10%on the news.“AMC’s 2021 results improved significantly as the year progressed, and we finished the year with the strongest quarter in two years,” AMC CEO Adam Aron stated in the company’s news release.“The fourth quarter of 2021 marks a meaningful milestone with positive EBITDA of more than $145 million, positive Operating Cash Generated of more than $215 million, and a record year-ending liquidity position of $1.8 billion.”Although it appears AMC has made strides in the right direction, the final part of Aron’s comments about liquidity stick in my craw.Here’s why.AMC Stock Gets Temporary ReliefWhile AMC stock gained more than 10% on the news, its share price has been trending down for some time. Over the past six months, it’s lost 58% of its value. As a result, it now trades just $3 above its share price in May 2021, when the gravy train began for AMC’s CEO.Of course, Aron will be confident of the company’s progress. Selling the AMC story has made him a wealthy man. Aron sold more than $40 million in stock in the last three months. As I’ve said in the past, it’s a nice retirement gift from retail investors.But if you think about it, all the CEO has accomplished over the past two years is keep AMC from going bankrupt. He hasn’t developed a way forward that diversifies its revenue streams.As for liquidity, AMC finished the fourth quarter with $1.8 billion in liquidity, comprised of $1.59 billion in cash and cash equivalents, along with $209.1 million left on its$225 million credit facility.That’s temporary relief, in my opinion.AMC Lowers Its Interest ExpenseOn Feb. 2, it announced that it was selling$500 million in first lien senior secured notes due 2029. While the press release doesn’t mention interest rates, presumably it will be less than 10.5%, the rate it pays for similar notes due 2025. AMC plans to use the proceeds plus cash to redeem its 2025 notes.I’m not going to argue with the move. It extends out $500 million of its long-term debt by four years while reducing its annual interest expense.However, AMC’s biggest problem is too much debt and negligible profits.At the end of September, AMC had $5.49 billion in long-term obligations at interest rates between 2.95% and 17%. In the fourth quarter, it paid $97.1 million in interest on this debt. On an annualized basis, that’s an average interest rate of 7.1% [$388.4 million divided by $5.49 billion].Assuming it can lower its interest rate on the $500 million from 10.5% to 6.5%, that would reduce the average interest rate to 6.7% [$500 million multiplied by 10.5% less $500 million multiplied by 6.5% equals $368 million in interest on an annualized based multiplied by $5.49 billion].Even if it used 100% of its cash to pay down its long-term debt, it would still have annual interest payments of $261 million [$4.59 billion less $1.59 billion in cash multiplied by 6.7%].The Bottom LineAt the height of AMC’s business success in 2018, as judged by revenues ($5.46 billion) and operating profits ($265 million), the company’s annual interest payments were $262.3 million, leaving $123.7 million in pre-tax profits, or 2.3%.That’s as good as it gets.Even with the reduction in interest costs through the redemption of the 10.5% notes, its interest costs remain 40% higher than in 2018, its proverbial heyday.With interest rates headed higher and AMC delivering no plan for growth other than post-pandemic re-openings, I don’t see what will move AMC stock higher other than irrational exuberance.Do not buy into Aron’s liquidity game. It’s one you will lose, and he’ll ride off into the sunset with $40 million in his pockets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":549,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005730233,"gmtCreate":1642400760416,"gmtModify":1676533707990,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I wondered after covid restriction ease up.... 😛","listText":"I wondered after covid restriction ease up.... 😛","text":"I wondered after covid restriction ease up.... 😛","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005730233","repostId":"2204255637","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":352,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005797232,"gmtCreate":1642400473342,"gmtModify":1676533707966,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🤔🤔🤔🤔","listText":"🤔🤔🤔🤔","text":"🤔🤔🤔🤔","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005797232","repostId":"2204255637","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":519,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091256849,"gmtCreate":1643881689292,"gmtModify":1676533867463,"author":{"id":"4104573873141100","authorId":"4104573873141100","name":"WXRaisin","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104573873141100","authorIdStr":"4104573873141100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Should i trust this article?!?!?&nbsp;","listText":"Should i trust this article?!?!?&nbsp;","text":"Should i trust this article?!?!?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091256849","repostId":"1185754415","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185754415","pubTimestamp":1643856030,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185754415?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-03 10:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Best Battery Stocks to Charge Up Your Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185754415","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is in full swing and the critical component driving it forward ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is in full swing and the critical component driving it forward is batteries – and battery stocks.</p><p>The market for the batteries that power EVs is red-hot as the switch from gasoline-powered vehicles surges ahead.
