Following a massive upgrade cycle fueled by the work-from-home movement in late 2020 through 2021, the chip shortage loosened up last year just in time for consumer demand to cool off (inflation being but one reason for this). </p><p>PC makers responded by reducing shipments to retail partners until the excess inventory was reduced by consumer purchasing. One standout winner during this mess last year was <strong>Apple</strong>, but it appears the downturn finally came for the iPhone and Mac company.</p><p>Does this mean it&#39;s time to sell Apple stock? </p><h2>Apple Macs plunge more than peers?</h2><p>According to data from tech research firm IDC, global PC shipments in first-quarter 2023 fell a whopping 29% year over year to 56.9 million. This isn&#39;t just a dip below COVID-era highs (80.2 million global PC shipments in Q1 2022, and over 90 million global shipments during the fourth-quarter holiday shopping frenzy of 2021 and 2020). If IDC&#39;s preliminary Q1 2023 figures are correct, 56.9 million PCs would represent a 4% decline from 59.2 million shipments in Q1 2019, and a 6% decline from 60.6 million PCs in Q1 2018.</p><p>Indeed, this is a steep pullback from the rampant consumer tech spending spree over the last couple of years.</p><p>But what may be especially concerning for investors is to see Apple PCs (like Macs and MacBook laptops) fall precipitously, at least according to IDC. The research company&#39;s preliminary estimate is that Q1 2023 Apple Mac shipments plunged 40% year over year to just 4.1 million units. That&#39;s a far steeper drop than the other top PC makers on the list: <strong>Lenovo</strong>, <strong>HP</strong>, <strong>Dell Technologies</strong>, and ASUS.  </p><h2>Don&#39;t panic just yet</h2><p>There&#39;s a caveat to Apple&#39;s PC shipments plunging far more than its peers, though. Macs and MacBooks are premium personal computers, but people are still willing to shell out the extra cash for the Apple emblem. According to IDC&#39;s estimates, Apple still commands the No. 4 spot as far as global PC market share goes, behind Lenovo, HP, and Dell.  </p><p>Apple&#39;s market share of Q1 2023 PC shipments was 7.2%. Though that&#39;s down from its low-teens percentage market share high reached at points in 2022, Apple is nevertheless holding on to its progress. In Q1 2019, before the pandemic started, Apple was in the No. 5 position in market share. At that time, it only shipped 3.9 million Macs and MacBooks, according to IDC estimates, giving it a global PC market share of only 6.6%.</p><p>Quarter-to-quarter shipments can be noisy and distracting. Thus, though Apple PC revenue might be in for some pain when the next quarter&#39;s financials are released (the report comes out May 4, 2023), it appears that Apple is still selling more PCs than it was pre-pandemic -- and commanding greater leadership than it was four years ago. If you own Apple stock, there&#39;s no need to panic. </p><h2>The market saw this coming already</h2><p>There&#39;s another reason to keep it cool: We already knew Apple Mac and MacBook sales were getting hit pretty hard. </p><p>During the last earnings call in February 2023 (for the three-month period ended December 2022), Apple said Mac revenue had fallen 29% year over year to $7.74 billion. The reason, besides a hard-hit global consumer, was a tough comparison to the year prior thanks to the MacBook Pros featuring the brand new in-house designed Apple M-series chip. Apple is now on its second-gen M2 chip, but that isn&#39;t having the same dramatic upside as the initial M-series processor release.  </p><p>Apple CFO Luca Maestri also said to expect Mac revenue to fall by a year-over-year double-digit percentage again in the first few months of 2023, for similar reasons to last quarter. No surprises, then, at IDC&#39;s ugly-looking estimates.</p><p>It&#39;s also worth remembering that the iPhone matters most. iPhone sales made up 56% of Apple revenue at the end of 2022.

Following a massive upgrade cycle fueled by the work-from-home movement in late 2020 through 2021, the chip shortage loosened up last year just in time for consumer demand to cool off (inflation being but one reason for this). PC makers responded by reducing shipments to retail partners until the excess inventory was reduced by consumer purchasing. One standout winner during this mess last year was Apple, but it appears the downturn finally came for the iPhone and Mac company.Does this mean it's time to sell Apple stock? Apple Macs plunge more than peers?According to data from tech research firm IDC, global PC shipments in first-quarter 2023 fell a whopping 29% year over year to 56.9 million. This isn't just a dip below COVID-era highs (80.2 million global PC shipments in Q1 2022, and over 90 million global shipments during the fourth-quarter holiday shopping frenzy of 2021 and 2020). If IDC's preliminary Q1 2023 figures are correct, 56.9 million PCs would represent a 4% decline from 59.2 million shipments in Q1 2019, and a 6% decline from 60.6 million PCs in Q1 2018.Indeed, this is a steep pullback from the rampant consumer tech spending spree over the last couple of years.But what may be especially concerning for investors is to see Apple PCs (like Macs and MacBook laptops) fall precipitously, at least according to IDC. The research company's preliminary estimate is that Q1 2023 Apple Mac shipments plunged 40% year over year to just 4.1 million units. That's a far steeper drop than the other top PC makers on the list: Lenovo, HP, Dell Technologies, and ASUS.  Don't panic just yetThere's a caveat to Apple's PC shipments plunging far more than its peers, though. Macs and MacBooks are premium personal computers, but people are still willing to shell out the extra cash for the Apple emblem. According to IDC's estimates, Apple still commands the No. 4 spot as far as global PC market share goes, behind Lenovo, HP, and Dell.  Apple's market share of Q1 2023 PC shipments was 7.2%. Though that's down from its low-teens percentage market share high reached at points in 2022, Apple is nevertheless holding on to its progress. In Q1 2019, before the pandemic started, Apple was in the No. 5 position in market share. At that time, it only shipped 3.9 million Macs and MacBooks, according to IDC estimates, giving it a global PC market share of only 6.6%.Quarter-to-quarter shipments can be noisy and distracting. Thus, though Apple PC revenue might be in for some pain when the next quarter's financials are released (the report comes out May 4, 2023), it appears that Apple is still selling more PCs than it was pre-pandemic -- and commanding greater leadership than it was four years ago. If you own Apple stock, there's no need to panic. The market saw this coming alreadyThere's another reason to keep it cool: We already knew Apple Mac and MacBook sales were getting hit pretty hard. During the last earnings call in February 2023 (for the three-month period ended December 2022), Apple said Mac revenue had fallen 29% year over year to $7.74 billion. The reason, besides a hard-hit global consumer, was a tough comparison to the year prior thanks to the MacBook Pros featuring the brand new in-house designed Apple M-series chip. Apple is now on its second-gen M2 chip, but that isn't having the same dramatic upside as the initial M-series processor release.  Apple CFO Luca Maestri also said to expect Mac revenue to fall by a year-over-year double-digit percentage again in the first few months of 2023, for similar reasons to last quarter. No surprises, then, at IDC's ugly-looking estimates.It's also worth remembering that the iPhone matters most. iPhone sales made up 56% of Apple revenue at the end of 2022. And regardless of what devices are selling (iPhones, Macs, iPads, Watch, etc.), Apple keeps expanding its total \"installed base\" of devices in operation, which is the fuel that keeps its stable-growth \"services\" segment headed higher. Apple said it had reached over 2 billion devices in its installed base during the final months of 2022, double the figure seven years ago.Apple stock has rallied 23% so far in 2023, and is just 12% off all-time highs reached a little over a year ago. If you're an Apple shareholder, there's no reason to panic-sell the stock now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941218707,"gmtCreate":1680272080809,"gmtModify":1680272084800,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good sharing&nbsp;","listText":"Good sharing&nbsp;","text":"Good sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":15,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941218707","repostId":"2323103255","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2323103255","pubTimestamp":1680275882,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2323103255?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-03-31 23:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Under-the-Radar Gaming Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2323103255","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Even companies not traditionally considered \"gaming stocks\" invest heavily in gaming segments.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>In the 2022 bear market, gaming stocks were some of the unexpected losers.

Sure, AAPL is not growing that rapidly right now. But the company has been steadily taking smartphone market share in the United States over the past decade and that makes you wonder: what comes next? I can see AAPL investing aggressively in new and existing services like search, maps, video streaming and more with great success. The company is clearly taking its time in rolling out such features, if ever, and in the meantime the stock is generating enough profits from selling products that it trades at 26x earnings. It may be hard to imagine a world in which Google is not the default search engine - but I wonder if iOS users will switch over based on convenience (it may be quicker to swipe down for Apple search than to open the mobile browser and search for Google first). That innovation, together with ongoing market share gains and further digital adoption may help the company sustain high-single-digit growth for the next decade if not longer. The key to this stock thesis is that the company’s potential for constant reinvestment in its ecosystem - and perhaps more importantly the perceived long term growth potential of that investment - should be enough to help support a consumer-staples kind of valuation multiple. The Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC) recently traded at an average 24x P/E ratio. Compared against this benchmark, AAPL offers a stronger balance sheet (many consumer staples companies retain net leverage) and stronger growth rates. I can see AAPL eventually earning a more premium multiple than current levels, perhaps even to as high as 35x earnings.</p><p>What are key risks? Given that this thesis in part is based on AAPL being deserving of multiple expansion as a consumer staples stock, there is the risk that consumer staples valuations come down. There is also the risk that if AAPL begins to make progress on the long term thesis discussed above that the company may draw greater regulatory scrutiny, which may cause it to face similar valuation overhangs as GOOGL or META. There is the risk that consumers begin to prefer cheaper Android products and the company eventually needs to sacrifice on margin to maintain market share. While AAPL is not trading at “dirt cheap” valuations, the stock offers a sturdy anchor-type of position that can deliver solid returns as hopes for multiple expansion play out.</p></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>I Was Wrong On Apple: A Bear Turns Bullish</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\">\nI Was Wrong On Apple: A Bear Turns Bullish\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-29 15:04 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4590722-i-was-wrong-on-apple-a-bear-turns-bullish><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryI previously ignored the stock due to the low growth rates, but I was missing the bigger picture.Apple continues to take market share and can continually reinvest in adding new products and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4590722-i-was-wrong-on-apple-a-bear-turns-bullish\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4590722-i-was-wrong-on-apple-a-bear-turns-bullish","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1113728387","content_text":"SummaryI previously ignored the stock due to the low growth rates, but I was missing the bigger picture.Apple continues to take market share and can continually reinvest in adding new products and services to its ecosystem.The company has maintained resilient fundamentals in spite of tough macro conditions.The stock is reasonably valued at 26x forward earnings.Apple is a stock which I have not been bullish on since 2018. In the years since then, the valuation had consistently puzzled me - how could the stock trade at such rich multiples relative to mega-cap peers in spite of slower growth? That question continued to keep me on the sidelines even as the stock soared - until now. In this article I explain what changed in my thinking including my long-term thesis for the stock. This isn’t about supercycles - this is about super-moats. At 26x forward earnings, AAPL remains highly buyable for long term investors.AAPL Stock PriceAAPL stock has been such a strong performer since the pandemic and over the past few years that you’d think it’d be down more amidst the weakness in the tech sector.

And the main thesis is that the stock now offers a good setup for a put option play. And first, let me start with a recap of its Q3 results and the uncertainties I see ahead. Its Q3 revenue came in at $477.88M, translating into an annual growth rate of 21.9% YOY and beating consensus estimates slightly by $2.92M, while it is still struggling with its bottom line.

With this adjusted guidance, it is also likely that PLTR would miss its 30% annual revenue growth target this year. At a more fundamental level, I also see strong headwinds coming from intensified competition in the years ahead from other enterprise software stalwarts, defense contractors, and/or even in-house development teams from its own customers. The dimmed view of its outlook and large uncertainties are vividly displayed in the earnings estimates for the next few quarters on the following chart.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1a55aa00e7dc60b70442db5513d75ed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"220\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: www.marketbeat.com</p><p>The market response to this cloudy outlook was quite brutal. Its stock price plunged nearly 12% under tremendous selling pressure shortly after the ER. The stock has been trading in the $7 to $8 range since then. Currently, the short interest hovers around 7.02%, among the highest level since Q2 2021 as you can see from the following MarketBeat data. To wit, its current short volume sits at 121.49 million shares, translating into 7.02% of the float size (1,730 million shares). Compared to the short volume in the previous month (119.57 million shares), the short interest rose by 1.61% MOM. In addition to the above uncertainties in the business fundamentals and also the selling pressure, the stock is also trading at quite an expensive valuation (more on this later). As such, I have a pretty bearish view on the stock.</p><p>In case you share the same bearish view, the remainder of this article will argue that the current conditions present a good setup for a put option play to express this view. Next, you will see that despite the very uncertain outlook and large selling pressures, its option premiums are quite low, providing a skewed risk/return profile.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82417142cfe60d0cf10a5774001d344f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"141\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: www.marketbeat.com<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29441fbdd86ea3135e9d0035a9b931b0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"230\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: www.marketbeat.com</p><h2>PLTR&#39;s put option</h2><p>The options market is pricing its implied volatility (&#34;IV&#34;) around 62% to 65% as you can see from the following chart for near-the-money put options expiring on Feb 17, 2023. I picked this particular expiry date because PLTR is scheduled to report its Q4 ER around Feb. 15, 2023. Given the uncertainties analyzed above and the actual volatilities the stock has demonstrated over its recent ERs, I expect large price movements during its Q4 ER as well.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac7402a0f5c110a05a17131352091c01\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"212\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: oic.ivolatility.com</p><p>Yet, as you can see from the next chart, its current IV (again, in the range of around 62% to 65%) is towards the lower end of its historical records. Its IV has stayed above 75% for most of the time during the past year and I see its future more, not less, uncertain now. As a matter of fact, its current IV is even below its historical IV (the orange line).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea4987bb3999b2929eff7613a045c99f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: IVolatility.com</p><h2>Skewed risk/return profile</h2><p>Due to the relatively low IV, the option premiums are quite low, providing a skewed risk/return profile.</p><p>Let&#39;s first analyze the risk side. Take the put option with the $8 strike price as an example. The bid/ask mean price is at $0.76 as of this writing. Note that I am quoting all these numbers on a per-share basis and will do the same for the rest of this article. If you hold the option to its expiration and PLTR&#39;s price closes above $8 on the expiry date, then the option expires worthless and you lose the $0.76 premium, which is the most you can lose.</p><p>Now let&#39;s analyze the potential returns. As mentioned above, due to the combination of a very uncertain outlook, large selling pressures, and extreme historical volatility (especially shortly after the ER), I anticipate large downward movements in its stock prices. On top of all these issues, the stock is already trading at an expensive valuation as you can see from the following chart. Its current P/E (170x) probably is meaningless given the negligible EPS currently (recall it is $0.01 for this quarter). Even when we look forward to two or three years (i.e., in 2023 and 2024), you can see that its P/Es are still in an extremely lofty range of 34x to 46x. And keep in mind that these P/E are quoted based on the midpoint of their EPS forecasts, while the variance among the forecasts is huge as seen. The variance between the high and low end of the estimate is 200% for 2022, more than 500% for 2023, and more than 700% for 2024.</p><p>With these above factors, I won&#39;t be surprised if the stock price drops to the $6 range. Actually, even at a price of $6, the P/E is still in the unsustainable range in my view (150x to 200x if the EPS fall on the lower end of the forecasts). And if the price does fall to $6, the put option would be worth $2 (the intrinsic value) plus whatever the time value is left in the option, leading to a reward/risk ratio of at least 263% ($2/$0.76 of premium).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbd608c6bb43a65b5de4facb8218659e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</p><h2>Risks and final thoughts</h2><p>Since the thesis is a bearish thesis with a long put option play, I want to mention both the fundamental upside risks and also the risks associated with options (primarily for investors new to options). The company depends heavily on government contracts, but it has been taking initiatives to widen its customer base. These initiatives could lead to a large private sector customer unexpectedly and trigger a large upward price movement. It also has substantial margin expansion opportunities on multiple fronts, including reductions of its deployment costs and offering commercially available solutions to prospects. Lastly, the use of options could lead to a total loss of capital. As aforementioned, if you long the put option with the $8 strike price and hold the option to its expiration, you could lose the $0.76 premium entirely if its price closes above $8 on the expiry date.</p><p>To recap, PLTR is facing an uncertain outlook and large selling pressure ahead. I anticipate many of these headwinds persisting into the next few quarters and the impacts reflected in its Q4 ER, causing large downward price movements. The company depends heavily on government contracts, which adds another source of uncertainties due to unexpected policy changes, budget priority changes, and also just general macroscopic economic slowdowns. Yet, the options market currently demands a relatively low premium (with an IV in the range of 62% to 65%). Such a combination of high earnings uncertainty, large selling pressures, and relatively low IV presents a good setup for a put option play with a very skewed return/risk profile.</p></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>Palantir: Ripe For A Put Option</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\">\nPalantir: Ripe For A Put Option\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-08 13:07 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562969-palantir-ripe-for-put-option><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryOn the fundamental front, Palantir Technologies reported mixed Q3 results and uninspiring guidance.On the trading front, the stock is under tremendous selling pressure and short interest surged...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562969-palantir-ripe-for-put-option\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562969-palantir-ripe-for-put-option","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2289504594","content_text":"SummaryOn the fundamental front, Palantir Technologies reported mixed Q3 results and uninspiring guidance.On the trading front, the stock is under tremendous selling pressure and short interest surged to 7.02%, among the highest levels in 2 years.Yet, in the options market, its implied volatility is relatively low.The combination of an uncertain outlook, large selling pressures, and relatively low option premiums, presents a good setup for a long put option play.ThesisPalantir Technologies reported mixed Q3 results and uninspiring guidance.

times of economic stress, it’s always good to rely on something steady to calm our nerves.When it comes to investing, blue-chip stocks evoke images of stability, certainty and safety.The world is currently beset by the dual problems of high inflation and rising interest rates.Even Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has warned of an impending recession in either 2023 or 2024.Although the mood is bearish, you can view this as a great opportunity to scoop up shares of solid companies for the long term.And with numerous companies’ share prices touching a year low, there could be bargains that are ripe for the picking.Here are five reliable blue-chip stocks that may end up on your buy watchlist.Singapore Exchange LimitedSingapore Exchange Limited, or SGX, is Singapore’s sole stock exchange operator.The bourse operator has seen its shares slide by close to 13% in one year to hit a 52-week low of S$8.32.Despite the fall, SGX reported a decent set of earnings for its fiscal 2022 (FY2022) ending 30 June 2022.Revenue inched up 4% year on year to S$1.1 billion, a new record since the group’s IPO, while net profit edged up 1% year on year to S$451 million.A dividend of S$0.32 was paid for FY2022, similar to a year ago.SGX enjoys a natural monopoly and its multi-asset platform continues to attract investors who are looking for different ways to invest and hedge their investment portfolios.CapitaLand Investment LimitedCapitaLand Investment Limited, or CLI, is a real estate investment manager (REIM) with S$125 billion of property assets under management (AUM) and S$86 billion of funds under management as of 30 June 2022.CLI has seen its share price slide to a year-low of S$3.24, down 4.1%.The property giant has reported a robust set of earnings for its fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022).Revenue jumped 29.1% year on year to S$1.35 billion while operating profit after tax (excluding one-off effects) rose 31.1% year on year to S$346 million.CLI also reported higher fee-related earnings and added more lodging units under its lodging management arm.The group targets to grow its funds under management to S$100 billion by 2024 and expand its lodging units to 160,000

of S$1.11.FLCT has a well-spread-out tenant profile with its largest tenant taking up just 5.1% of gross rental income.Its aggregate leverage stood at 29.2% with a low cost of debt of just 1.9%, giving the REIT a debt headroom of S$2.9 billion for acquisitions to boost its distribution per unit (DPU).Also, 80.6% of its debt is on fixed rates, thus mitigating the risk of a sharp increase in finance expenses.Singapore Technologies Engineering LimitedSingapore Technologies Engineering Limited, or STE, is a technology and engineering group serving the aerospace, smart city, and defence

Worried?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168071207","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"REITs have proven themselves as reliable dividend payers over the years.Income-seeking investors hav","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>REITs have proven themselves as reliable dividend payers over the years.</p><p>Income-seeking investors have tapped into this asset class for consistent and dependable distributions since the very first REIT, CapitaMall Trust, was listed back in 2002.</p><p>Two decades on, Singapore is now well-known for being a REIT hub.</p><p>However, of late, the sector has come under pressure.</p><p>Share prices of popular REITs such as <b>Mapletree Logistics Trust</b>(SGX: M44U) and <b>Frasers Centrepoint Trust</b>(SGX: J69U) have hit their 52-week lows.</p><p>Several foreign REITs such as <b>Cromwell European REIT</b>(SGX: CWBU) are also hitting multi-year lows.</p><p>These declines are worrisome as they imply a loss of confidence in the REIT sector.</p><p>Should investors be worried?</p><p>Or could this be a golden opportunity to scoop up attractive bargains?</p><p><b>Reasons for the plunge</b></p><p>A key reason why REIT prices are plunging is because of a sharp increase in interest rates.</p><p>The US Federal Reserve has hiked its policy rate by 0.75 percentage points over three consecutive sessions, taking the benchmark rate to a range of between 3% to 3.25%.</p><p>As all REITs hold debt, an increase in interest rates will raise borrowing costs for them, thus crimping the amount of distributable income they can pay out.</p><p>The US central bank has made these moves in response to the highest inflation the country has seen in four decades.</p><p>The latest inflation reading in the US, at 8.2% for August, has done little to quell rumours that yet another large rate hike is on the cards.</p><p>If the Federal Reserve makes a similar move in early November, benchmark rates could hit 4%, a level unseen since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008.</p><p>For REITs, surging inflation will also increase operating expenses such as electricity, marketing and staff costs, resulting in less distributable income to dole out to unitholders.</p><p>The combination of the two – sky-high inflation and rising interest rates is causing significant concern among investors as to whether REITs can maintain their distribution per unit (DPU).</p><p>A third factor is also at play.</p><p>Investors who are looking for alternatives to park their money can now seek interest-free instruments such as Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) and fixed deposits.</p><p>The former is paying out a 10-year average return of 3.21% while the latter has seen rates hit as high as 2.6% to 2.7% for a 12-month and 24-month tenure.</p><p>Risk appetites are declining and this is evident as more people yank their money out of REITs and into “safe havens”.</p><p><b>DPU and asset values may decline</b></p><p>Some of these fears could be justified.</p><p>REITs will come under pressure and DPU may decline in the coming quarters.</p><p>In addition, REIT property values may also fall when the assets are up for revaluation.</p><p>Property values are usually computed by independent property agencies based on a capitalisation rate (cap rate).</p><p>The property’s net operating income (i.e. rental income minus expenses) is divided by this cap rate to obtain the property’s valuation.</p><p>With interest rates heading up, assuming a similar level of net operating income, the denominator will increase for this equation, thus resulting in lower property values.</p><p>As REIT gearing levels are predicated on its asset base, a decline in asset valuation will result in gearing levels increasing even without the REIT taking on additional loans.</p><p>Another factor to consider is exchange rates.</p><p>The Japanese Yen has weakened by close to 24% against the Singapore dollar (SGD) in the past year.</p><p>The British pound (£) has declined by 13% against the SGD over the same period.</p><p>Exchange movements have impacted REITs such as <b>Daiwa House Logistics Trust</b>(SGX: DHLU) and <b>Elite Commercial REIT</b>(SGX: MXNU).</p><p>With the need to convert their distributions to SGD even though their base rental income is in Yen or £, investors are seeing a possible DPU decline looming.</p><p><b>Mitigating factors</b></p><p>There are reasons to be optimistic, though.</p><p>REITs have several mitigating factors in place to buffer against these rising expenses.</p><p><b>Frasers Logistics &amp; Commercial Trust</b>(SGX: BUOU) has a very low gearing of just 29.2% as of 30 June 2022, thus mitigating against a rise in gearing due to declining property values.</p><p>Having a high proportion of fixed-rate debt and a well-spread-out debt maturity are also some measures that REITs possess to guard against sharply higher finance costs.</p><p>Furthermore, REITs with strong sponsors will also have a ready pipeline of assets to tap into for acquisitions to boost DPU and offset the effects of higher costs.</p><p><b>Get Smart: Watch and learn</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e188a565b5bb9bffe65f6f115a92847\" tg-width=\"1110\" tg-height=\"700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Macrotrends</p><p>The world is seeing a new, high-interest-rate phase that has not been witnessed in nearly 14 years.</p><p>The chart above shows that rates have only gone past the 5% mark once in the last two decades.</p><p>It’s a whole new world for investors and also a different environment for REITs.</p><p>Investors should watch and learn and continue to monitor how REITs adjust to this new paradigm.</p><p>There’s cause for worry, but if you stick with the strong REITs, you can still enjoy a good night’s sleep.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE

proven themselves as reliable dividend payers over the years.Income-seeking investors have tapped into this asset class for consistent and dependable distributions since the very first REIT, CapitaMall Trust, was listed back in 2002.Two decades on, Singapore is now well-known for being a REIT hub.However, of late, the sector has come under pressure.Share prices of popular REITs such as Mapletree Logistics Trust(SGX: M44U) and Frasers Centrepoint Trust(SGX: J69U) have hit their 52-week lows.Several foreign REITs such as Cromwell European REIT(SGX: CWBU) are also hitting multi-year lows.These declines are worrisome as they imply a loss of confidence in the REIT sector.Should investors be worried?Or could this be a golden opportunity to scoop up attractive bargains?Reasons for the plungeA key reason why REIT prices are plunging is because of a sharp increase in interest rates.The US Federal Reserve has hiked its policy rate by 0.75 percentage points over three consecutive sessions, taking the benchmark rate to a range of between 3% to 3.25%.As all REITs hold debt, an increase in interest rates will raise borrowing costs for them, thus crimping the amount of distributable income they can pay out.The US central bank has made these moves in response to the highest inflation the country has seen in four decades.The latest inflation reading in the US, at 8.2% for August, has done little to quell rumours that yet another large rate hike is on the cards.If the Federal Reserve makes a similar move in early November, benchmark rates could hit 4%, a level unseen since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008.For REITs, surging inflation will also increase operating expenses such as electricity, marketing and staff costs, resulting in less distributable income to dole out to unitholders.The combination of the two – sky-high inflation and rising interest rates is causing significant concern among investors as to whether REITs can maintain their distribution per unit (DPU).A third factor is also at play.Investors who are looking for alternatives to park their money can now seek interest-free instruments such as Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) and fixed deposits.The former is paying out a 10-year average return of 3.21% while the latter has seen rates hit as high as 2.6% to 2.7% for a 12-month and 24-month tenure.Risk appetites are declining and this is evident as more people yank their money out of REITs and into “safe havens”.DPU and asset values may declineSome of these fears could be justified.REITs will come under pressure and DPU may decline in the coming quarters.In addition, REIT property values may also fall when the assets are up for revaluation.Property values are usually computed by independent property agencies based on a capitalisation rate (cap rate).The property’s net operating income (i.e. rental income minus expenses) is divided by this cap rate to obtain the property’s valuation.With interest rates heading up, assuming a similar level of net operating income, the denominator will increase for this equation, thus resulting in lower property values.As REIT gearing levels are predicated on its asset base, a decline in asset valuation will result in gearing levels increasing even without the REIT taking on additional loans.Another factor to consider is exchange rates.The Japanese Yen has weakened by close to 24% against the Singapore dollar (SGD) in the past year.The British pound (£) has declined by 13% against the SGD over the same period.Exchange movements have impacted REITs such as Daiwa House Logistics Trust(SGX: DHLU) and Elite Commercial REIT(SGX: MXNU).With the need to convert their distributions to SGD even though their base rental income is in Yen or £, investors are seeing a possible DPU decline looming.Mitigating factorsThere are reasons to be optimistic, though.REITs have several mitigating factors in place to buffer against these rising expenses.Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust(SGX: BUOU) has a very low gearing of just 29.2% as of 30 June 2022, thus mitigating against a rise in gearing due to declining property values.Having a high proportion of fixed-rate debt and a well-spread-out debt maturity are also some measures that REITs possess to guard against sharply higher finance costs.Furthermore, REITs with strong sponsors will also have a ready pipeline of assets to tap into for acquisitions to boost DPU and offset the effects of higher costs.Get Smart: Watch and learnSource: MacrotrendsThe world is seeing a new, high-interest-rate phase that has not been witnessed in nearly 14 years.The chart above shows that rates have only gone past the 5% mark once in the last two decades.It’s a whole new world for investors and also a different environment for REITs.Investors should watch and learn and continue to monitor how REITs adjust to this new paradigm.There’s cause for worry, but if you stick with the strong REITs, you can still enjoy a good night’s sleep.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989610527,"gmtCreate":1665984718669,"gmtModify":1676537687709,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good

Higher dividend yields are easier to find, and it's a great time to reevaluate positions.Executing a conservative covered call strategy can also generate income. Selling covered calls is a low-risk way to generate a yield from growth stocks and make small returns in a persistent down market. As discussed above, Amazon is an excellent stock for this approach.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980504461,"gmtCreate":1665758838053,"gmtModify":1676537660997,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SOFI\">$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SOFI\">$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980504461","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980275087,"gmtCreate":1665756327549,"gmtModify":1676537660549,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good!&nbsp;","listText":"Good!&nbsp;","text":"Good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980275087","repostId":"1150944805","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1150944805","pubTimestamp":1665760924,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150944805?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-14 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Karp Bets Heavy On Apollo","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150944805","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryThe market underestimates the ability of Palantir’s Apollo to create additional shareholder v","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The market underestimates the ability of Palantir’s Apollo to create additional shareholder value in the long run.</li><li>As organizations become more complex, the need for autonomous software deployment is going to increase, creating a monetary opportunity for Palantir thanks to its expertise in developing AI-based solutions.</li><li>This article highlights the untapped opportunities that Palantir is about to materialize, which in the end could lead to an appreciation of its share price in the foreseeable future.</li></ul><p>As corporations and institutions continue to grow in size, and at the same time begin to adapt to the new reality in which capital becomes scarce while the geopolitical uncertainties create new possibilities for additional supply chain disruptions, it becomes crucial for them to ensure that their software runs uninterrupted and is constantly up to date.

While both of those platforms have been major drivers of growth for Palantir&#39;s business in recent years, and I have extensively covered them in my other articles in the last few months, Apollo has been considered a silent third platform of the company that wasn&#39;t discussed as much as the others. However, there&#39;s a possibility that this could change soon, as Apollo has all the chances to scale Palantir&#39;s business in the foreseeable future and help it to accelerate the onboarding of new clients.</p><p>To understand what Apollo really is it&#39;s better to take a look at how Palantir describes itself. In its latest 10-Qreport, Palantir stated the following:</p><blockquote>Apollo is a cloud-agnostic, single control layer that coordinates ongoing delivery of new features, security updates, and platform configurations, helping to ensure the continuous operation of critical systems.</blockquote><p>At first, Palantir built Apollo for in-house use to help the company to speed up the process of integrating Gotham and Foundry into the organizations of its new clients. As an automated platform for continuous deployment, Apollo evolved to become a standalone product in 2021 and is now able to be used within third-party platforms to provide updates for custom-built software solutions in virtually any environment. As a result, Apollo gives Palantir the ability to substantially increase the number of new clients, as it could successfully deploy custom-built updates with relative ease.</p><p>That&#39;s why in his letter to shareholders, Palantir&#39;s CEO Alex Karp has been stressing the importance of Apollo for Palantir and how it could be as important for the business as Gotham and Foundry are by saying the following:</p><blockquote>We believe that the demand from large enterprises for a software delivery and maintenance solution that is platform agnostic will be as significant as the demand for the underlying data integration and analytical capabilities themselves.</blockquote><p>One of the biggest advantages of Apollo is that it replaces the need for its potential customers to build in-house continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) capabilities. Instead, the potential customers are able to focus on developing the software itself and then outsource the deployment of that software to Palantir without increasing their headcount whatsoever.</p><p>What&#39;s also important to mention is that Palantir recently received an impact level 6 accreditation from the Department of Defense, which makes it possible for government contractors to use the company&#39;s solutions to store, share and interact with data of the highest level of authorization. Therefore, Palantir is only one of the few companies along with Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) and Amazon.com (AMZN) with the highest clearance level in the world, which gives its platforms, and Apollo in particular advantage against other platforms offered by different businesses in the DevOps and CI/CD space.</p><p>What we also know is that Apollo has already been able to deploy software and security updates in over 500 independently-released microservices across over 300 different environments. At the same time, there&#39;s also a possibility that those numbers are gradually increasing with each quarter, as Palantir continues to aggressively sign new customers and at the end of Q2 its customer count increased to 304, up from 169 a year ago.</p><p><b>What&#39;s Next?</b></p><p>Considering the capabilities of Apollo, the two major questions that investors could have in mind are how much revenue the platform is generating and what is its total addressable market. The first question is hard to answer because Palantir doesn&#39;t disclose the exact amount of revenue that each platform generates. However, we do know that aggressive growth in new customers occurred after Apollo has been released as a standalone product in 2021. At the same time, the fact that Palantir&#39;s CEO Alex Karp is saying that the demand for a software delivery and maintenance solution will be the same as the demand for a data integration platform could lead us to the conclusion that Apollo is going to have a greater impact on the business in the future.</p><p>As for the second question, we do know that Apollo is mostly a deployment solution for organizations that conduct their operations in the cloud. However, Apollo&#39;s main advantage is that in essence, it&#39;s a cloud-agnostic solution, and as a result, it can deploy software and security updates to entirely different environments that operate within multiple cloud platforms with relative ease. That&#39;s why Apollo could be considered a supercloud solution. Wikibondescribessuperclouds as follows:</p><blockquote>Supercloud describes an architecture that taps the underlying services &amp; primitives of hyperscale and other clouds to deliver additional value above and beyond what&#39;s available from a single public cloud provider. A supercloud delivers capabilities through software, consumed as services, and must span multiple cloud platforms, inclusive of on-prem clouds and edge installations.</blockquote><p>Considering that with each year the number of cloud vendors and cloud platforms increases and the overall cloud computing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.43% by the end of the decade and be worth $1.6 trillion, it&#39;s safe to assume that the demand for a supercloud solution such as Apollo is also going to increase. As a result, there&#39;s a high possibility that Alex Karp would be right in his belief that there could be a significant demand for a solution such as Apollo in the future.</p><p>That&#39;s why I decided to slightly update my DCF model. In September, my DCF model showed that Palantir&#39;s fair value is $10.03 per share, which represents an upside of ~25% from the current levels. That model assumed that Palantir&#39;s top line would grow at 23.5% in FY22 and at 25% Y/Y in the following years, below the management&#39;s initial forecast of annual growth of 30% Y/Y through 2025. That model could be considered as a base-case scenario under which Palantir is still undervalued.</p><p>However, if Apollo manages to help Palantir aggressively scale its business in the future, then it makes sense to create an additional optimistic scenario under which the company grows at a greater rate. That&#39;s why in this new model the revenue is forecasted to increase by 23.5% Y/Y, while in the following years the top-line growth increases to the management&#39;s initial forecasts of an annual growth rate of 30%. All the other metrics remain the same as in the previous model where WACC is 8%, while the terminal growth rate is 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8945e8f8c5e950fd0f599af5911d429\" tg-width=\"894\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Palantir&#39;s DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)</p><p>According to this more optimistic model, Palantir&#39;s enterprise value appears to be $22.6 billion, while its implied share price is $12.08 per share, which represents an upside of ~50% from the current market price and creates a buying opportunity for long-term investors.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75359c541640018716a7c4979077aa4c\" tg-width=\"693\" tg-height=\"155\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Palantir&#39;s DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>One of the downsides of Palantir is its high level of secrecy. Due to working with governmental agencies, the company can&#39;t disclose various contracts and relationships that it has with its clients. As a result, we don&#39;t know exactly how much revenue the company generates from each client. However, what&#39;s worse is that the company has also been actively investing in various SPACs last year. As a large portion of SPACs depreciated since the beginning of this year due to the worsening macroeconomic environment, there&#39;s a risk that Palantir could generate greater than expected losses from them in the foreseeable future. Even though the company closed its SPAC program earlier this year, the lack of transparency prevents investors from knowing how much the investments that were made in 2021 generated returns or lost capital, which could lead to weaker performance of the overall business than previously expected.</p><p>The other problem of Palantir is that as a growth stock, there&#39;s a real possibility that it could continue to depreciate or trade at distressed levels for as long as the Federal Reserve continues to increase interest rates to tame the rising inflation.

As a result, in times like these, it becomes crucial to have a solution such as Apollo, which ensures that corporations and enterprises are able to deploy all the necessary software and security updates that make it possible for them to continue to operate in the current challenging environment with relative ease. That&#39;s why Palantir&#39;s CEO Alex Karp might be correct when he states that the demand for a solution such as Apollo could be as significant as the demand for other data analytics solutions that the company offers.</p><p>At the same time, considering that Palantir trades below its fair value both in the optimistic and in the base-case scenarios, long-term investors might use this as an opportunity to increase their exposure to the company at the current levels, as there&#39;s an indication that Apollo could greatly improve the business&#39;s performance in the foreseeable future.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That's why Palantir's CEO Alex Karp might be correct when he states that the demand for a solution such as Apollo could be as significant as the demand for other data analytics solutions that the company offers.At the same time, considering that Palantir trades below its fair value both in the optimistic and in the base-case scenarios, long-term investors might use this as an opportunity to increase their exposure to the company at the current levels, as there's an indication that Apollo could greatly improve the business's performance in the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":157,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980699887,"gmtCreate":1665710790549,"gmtModify":1676537652875,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"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/9980699887","repostId":"1105845430","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1105845430","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":1665708334,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105845430?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-14 08:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Central Bank Tightens Policy, Q3 GDP Tops Forecast","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105845430","media":"Reuters","summary":"SINGAPORE, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Singapore's central bank on Friday tightened monetary policy for the f","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>SINGAPORE, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Singapore&#39;s central bank on Friday tightened monetary policy for the fourth time this year to rein in inflation running near a 14-year high, and left the door open for further policy action amid upside risks to the price outlook and global uncertainty.</p><p>The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), at a scheduled policy meeting, said it will re-centre the mid-point of the exchange rate policy band known as the Nominal Effective Exchange Rate, or S$NEER.

Despite a pandemic-driven crash in 2020 and the recent sell-off to start 2022, early investors in these top stocks are sitting on thousands of dollars in gains.</p><p>But with RH and Netflix getting slammed by the market this year, are they still good stocks to buy? Let&#39;s have a look.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a62fd0b7ec4bdb82b43c2565c27a978\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>RH data by YCharts.</p><h2>RH</h2><p>It&#39;s difficult to imagine how a furniture company could turn $1,000 into $10,000 in less than 10 years, but that&#39;s the return RH delivered following its initial public offering in November 2012. At RH&#39;s all-time high last year, the value of that small investment would have been briefly worth $24,000. The recent drop in the share price could be a great opportunity to start a position in the fast-growing luxury furniture brand.</p><p>RH is led by visionary CEO Gary Friedman. The company has expanded its luxurious furniture offerings to include a wide collection of solutions for different spaces, including RH Modern, RH Beach House, RH Ski House, RH Rugs, and more.</p><p>Worries over supply-chain issues and inflationary costs have hit the stock hard. The shares are down 55% from their highs, but news of a three-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> stock split and a better-than-expected earnings report at the end of March has investors feeling more upbeat.</p><p>Indeed, RH reported a revenue increase of 11% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter. That looks quite strong considering the economic headwinds. The Russia-Ukraine war is an additional headwind. The company cited some softening in demand to start the quarter in relation to that, but management&#39;s guidance still calls for revenue to grow between 7% and 8% in the first quarter.</p><p>Investors don&#39;t have to pay much for growth. At a price-to-earnings ratio of 15, this growth retail stock is a great value at these levels. If the investment by Warren Buffett&#39;s <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> is any indication, RH still has many years of growth in store.</p><h2>Netflix</h2><p>In 2012, Netflix was transitioning from DVD-by-mail to streaming. It launched its first original series <i>House of Cards</i> in early 2013. A $1,000 investment in early 2012 would be worth $23,000 even after the recent drop in the stock price.</p><p>Wall Street has turned a cold shoulder to the leader in streaming after Netflix reported decelerating subscriber growth throughout 2021. Subscriber growth clocked in at 8.9% in the fourth quarter, which is a far cry from the 20%-plus rates it was posting through 2020.</p><p>Still, Netflix is not done growing by a long shot.

Despite a pandemic-driven crash in 2020 and the recent sell-off to start 2022, early investors in these top stocks are sitting on thousands of dollars in gains.But with RH and Netflix getting slammed by the market this year, are they still good stocks to buy? Let's have a look.RH data by YCharts.RHIt's difficult to imagine how a furniture company could turn $1,000 into $10,000 in less than 10 years, but that's the return RH delivered following its initial public offering in November 2012. At RH's all-time high last year, the value of that small investment would have been briefly worth $24,000. The recent drop in the share price could be a great opportunity to start a position in the fast-growing luxury furniture brand.RH is led by visionary CEO Gary Friedman. The company has expanded its luxurious furniture offerings to include a wide collection of solutions for different spaces, including RH Modern, RH Beach House, RH Ski House, RH Rugs, and more.Worries over supply-chain issues and inflationary costs have hit the stock hard. The shares are down 55% from their highs, but news of a three-for-one stock split and a better-than-expected earnings report at the end of March has investors feeling more upbeat.Indeed, RH reported a revenue increase of 11% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter. That looks quite strong considering the economic headwinds. The Russia-Ukraine war is an additional headwind. The company cited some softening in demand to start the quarter in relation to that, but management's guidance still calls for revenue to grow between 7% and 8% in the first quarter.Investors don't have to pay much for growth. At a price-to-earnings ratio of 15, this growth retail stock is a great value at these levels. If the investment by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is any indication, RH still has many years of growth in store.NetflixIn 2012, Netflix was transitioning from DVD-by-mail to streaming. It launched its first original series House of Cards in early 2013. A $1,000 investment in early 2012 would be worth $23,000 even after the recent drop in the stock price.Wall Street has turned a cold shoulder to the leader in streaming after Netflix reported decelerating subscriber growth throughout 2021. Subscriber growth clocked in at 8.9% in the fourth quarter, which is a far cry from the 20%-plus rates it was posting through 2020.Still, Netflix is not done growing by a long shot. There are still plenty of connected TVs around the world without Netflix. The Motion Picture Association reported that the number of streaming subscribers globally grew 14% in 2021 to reach 1.3 billion. That is a nice tailwind for Netflix, sitting at 222 million subscribers. Ultimately, Netflix's vast library of content should help the service win more share of that massive global market.Streaming stocks are still attractive long-term investments. And with Netflix shares trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 32 -- a valuation that reflects its continued growth potential -- you might not find a better value in this space.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944093315,"gmtCreate":1681613984338,"gmtModify":1681613987710,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9944093315","repostId":"2327438481","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2327438481","pubTimestamp":1681610944,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2327438481?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-16 10:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple PC Shipments Plummet In 2023 -- Time to Sell the Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2327438481","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The tech giant is finally showing signs of stress as the personal computing downturn drags on.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The tech industry has been working through a glut of PC (personal computer) and smartphone inventories since the second half of 2022.

What kind of problem is this, one may ask? Well, by sitting on idle mass of liquidity that isn&#39;t used is actually a cost both in terms of management and in terms of loss of purchasing power due to inflation. In addition, Apple had most of its cash outside the U.S. in its foreign subsidiaries and it kept it there in order to avoid repatriation taxes. When the tax reform was approved with the 15.5% repatriation tax rate, Apple started to repatriate $250 billion. This was reported in early 2018. Soon thereafter, Apple disclosed that it would become a cash neutral company.</p><p>In this article, I would like to go over the idea of cash neutrality for those who haven&#39;t yet heard of it and I would like to link this strategy to see how, once it is achieved, it will impact the company&#39;s huge buybacks.</p><h2>What is cash neutrality?</h2><p>During the Q1 2018 earnings call, Luca Maestri, Apple&#39;s CFO, first announced that the company was targeting cash neutrality. These are his words:</p><blockquote>Tax reform will allow us to pursue a more optimal capital structure for our company. Our current net cash position is $163 billion. And given the increased financial and operational flexibility from the access to our foreign cash, we are targeting to become approximately net cash neutral over time. We will provide an update to our specific capital allocation plans when we report results for our second fiscal quarter, consistent with the timing of updates that we have provided in the past.</blockquote><p>Though the idea is very simple, not everyone participating in the earnings call seemed to understand it well and this led Tim Cook to a further explanation:</p><blockquote>What Luca is saying is not cash equals zero. He&#39;s saying there&#39;s an equal amount cash and debt, and that they balance to zero. Just for clarity.</blockquote><p>Now it is clear: cash neutrality means that the net debt position is equal to zero, where cash and debt balance each other. If a company has excess cash, it can reach cash neutrality in two ways: it either lowers its available cash or it raises debt.</p><p>Of course, Apple saw the tax reform as a big opportunity that gave new flexibility thanks to the access to the foreign cash. Before the reform, in fact, Apple used to raise debt to have more available cash in the U.S. as the majority of the cash was overseas. At the beginning of 2018, Apple had $285 billion of cash and $122 billion of debt for a net cash position of $163 billion. Since then the company has been able to deploy this capital. Luca Maestri explained how the company would be in no rush to use all this new available cash at one:</p><blockquote>We will do that overtime, because the amount is very large. As I said earlier, we will be discussing capital allocation plans when we review our March quarter results. And when you look at our track record of what we’ve done over the last several years, you’ve seen that effectively we were returning to our investors essentially about 100% of our free cash flow. And so that is the approach that we’re going to be taking. We’re going to be very thoughtful and deliberate about it. Obviously, we want to make the right decisions in the best interest of our long-term shareholders.</blockquote><p>However, one thing was clear: excess cash will be returned to the shareholders. It is actually what we learn in business school: only cash that can&#39;t be deployed at a high rate of return should be returned to the shareholders in order to make them decide how to deploy it.</p><p>In the following earnings call for Q2 2018, Luca Maestri addressed once again what Apple was thinking about its use of capital:</p><blockquote>The biggest priorities for our cash have not changed over the years. We want to maintain the cash we need to fund our day-to-day operations, to invest in our future, and to provide flexibility so that we can respond effectively to the strategic opportunities we encounter along the way. As we said 90 days ago, the new tax legislation enacted in December gives us increased financial and operational flexibility from the access to our global cash. It allows us to invest for growth in the United States more efficiently and it also provides us the opportunity to work towards a more optimal capital structure. As we said in February, our goal is to become approximately net cash neutral over time.</blockquote><p>In this way, he made it clear that Apple will keep for itself all the cash it needs not only to operate but also to invest and keep on growing. Let&#39;s put it in another way: Apple will fund its operations with its own cash, without using a lot of debt. From these words it is now clearer that Apple will reach cash neutrality mostly by lowering its cash rather than increasing its debt.</p><p>The company could actually raise more debt without many problems because it could simultaneously make some investments that could return an interest income able to completely offset debt interest. However, this doesn&#39;t seem the way Apple wants to take.</p><p>So, how has Apple used its excess cash in these years? The answer is quite simple: share repurchases have been the preferred use of cash, followed by the dividend. In the graph below I wanted to show this starting from 2017, the year before Apple announced its strategy.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/162d9275fec30efad34d606d47c71977\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, with data from Seeking Alpha</p><p></p><p>As we can see, Apple more than doubles its share repurchases moving up from $34.77 billion in 2017 to $75.27 billion in 2018. Since then, the company has spent $409 billion just to repurchase its outstanding shares. This has allowed the company to be rather flat in the amount of dividends it is paying. As we can see, in 2018 the company spent $13.71 billion, in 2019 it spent $14.12 billion and in the past year it was just at $14.84. However, Apple&#39;s five-year dividend growth rate is above 8% and this is thanks to the massive share repurchases the company has done.</p><h2>Concerns</h2><p>Some investors are concerned that once Apple will have achieved cash neutrality, its share repurchase program will end or will significantly decrease, causing downward pressure on the stock. However, who fears this forgets that Apple generates an in-pouring flow of free cash flow that is actually growing at a very fast pace actually doubling in the past five years ($41 billion in 2017, $92 billion in 2022).</p><h2>When Apple reaches cash neutrality, it will have to increase buybacks once again</h2><p>I ran a simulation which assumes that in the next five years, Apple will grow its free cash flow by 10% and will increase its share repurchases by 7.7% annually. In the meantime, it will increase its dividend growth by 5% and will increase its debt by 4%. Based on these assumptions, Apple should reach a positive net debt position between 2025 and 2026. However, take a look at what happens in 2027. I also assumed that shares will appreciate 10% annually in order to estimate how many outstanding shares the company will be able to repurchase through its buybacks.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72d3d6504d2e65f45c253aa30ddf8352\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"234\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Let&#39;s use a graph instead a table.

According to its culture, it will have to increase once again share repurchases and its dividends.</p><p>The reason is simple: Apple&#39;s free cash flow is massive and it can really grow by 10% a year. This will keep on creating a massive amount of liquidity that Apple has to return to its shareholders, which will happily receive it.</p><p>Of course, these are estimates based on many assumptions. But I think the trajectory is quite clear and foreseeable.</p><p>This is why I am not worried, but I am actually pleased by the endeavor Apple has undertaken to reach cash neutrality. It is, in my opinion, another sign of how highly efficient this company is, making it a true cornerstone of my portfolio.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>This article ideally follows another one I recently published to show how Apple is managing its balance sheet with carefulness and attention, making it more efficient than other big tech companies such as Google (GOOG) (GOOGL).

The split doesn’t have any direct affect on the stock’s value, or Amazon’s market capitalization, but rather divides each share of the company into 20 pieces.

Shares closed down more than 7% as investors consider jumping back into the discounted stock ahead of its split.On May 25, Amazon shareholders will have the chance to vote on the proposed 20-for-1 stock split. The split doesn’t have any direct affect on the stock’s value, or Amazon’s market capitalization, but rather divides each share of the company into 20 pieces. As such, using today’s price of $2,142.25 per share, each investor would hold 20 shares priced at $107.11.The split may come as a benefit to the company by offering investors a cheaper price point to invest in the business. Rather than needing to shell out the full $2,000 for one share, traders can buy in at a smaller price point.Should Amazon investors feel the move is prudent, the stock split will occur on June 3 of this year.Stock splits have been increasingly popular among large-cap tech companies. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) also recently announced a split this past February.Given the company’s decline in share price recently, the chance to make Amazon stock a bit more appealing to traders seems like a strong opportunity for the company.AMZN Stock Falls Near 2-Year Low as Market DeclinesAmazon stock has seen better days in the market.

What’s more, the Tesla bulls do have some ammunition when it come to their lofty projections. Here&#39;s why.</p><p><b>Tesla revenue 5 year chart</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab99bfe7748553a39961171fad2fc738\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>5-year revenue growth (YCharts)</span></p><p><b>Tesla gross profit 5-year chart</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7ac0c43a94e2f8a570de132e416f31d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"208\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>5-year Gross profit Growth (YCharts)</span></p><p>Tesla’s revenue and gross profits are increasing by leaps and bounds. On top of this, Tesla’s sales for the recent quarter were up 80% and EPS up a whopping 640% quarter over quarter. Additionally, EPS had growth at a 50% clip for the past five years and is expected to grow by 40% for the next five years. So, as you can see there is a case to be made Tesla deserves an elevated valuation. Now let’s tackle the competition aspect of the equation.</p><p><b>Lots of new competition, yes but…</b></p><p>There&#39;s a lot of new EV competitors in the space. There&#39;s no disputing this. My second choice is Ford (F) which just introduced the new EV Ford F150 Lightning. Yet, Tesla does have several first mover advantages over the competition. The primary <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> is Tesla’s charging infrastructure.</p><p><b>Tesla’s vastly superior charging infrastructure</b></p><p>My friend and fellow CNBC compatriot Brian “Sully” Sullivan recently performed a very enlightening experiment where he went on a long-distance road trip across California in a non-Tesla EV. You can watch the short video of the results of the trip here. Needless to say, it was an eye-opener. The bottom line is, the other EV car companies have a long way to go to catch up with Tesla in regards to charging stations. See graphic of Tesla super-charging stations across North America.</p><p><b>Tesla Super charging station map</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8250ffd495c652144b8dce9d70a2fc2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"374\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla North American Supercharging Station Map (Tesla.com)</span></p><p>With 30,000+ Superchargers, Tesla owns and operates the largest global, fast charging network in the world. The charging stations are located on major routes and near convenient amenities. Furthermore, based on Sully’s experiment, the competition is woefully behind the curve. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has allocated billions to get EV charging infrastructure in place. Even so, based on past experience, I don’t have a lot of faith in the government’s execution. Government projects rarely come in on time and almost always over budget. So, I see Tesla’s lead in charging stations as a major competitive advantage.</p><p>The bottom line is, Tesla doesn’t trade on fundamentals or valuation at all. It’s a story stock as I stated earlier. Furthermore, I have held the stock for the past 10 years in a tax advantaged account with substantial unrealized gains in the position. As my father instilled in me, I believe it’s “time in” the market, not “timing” the market, that creates true wealth. At this point in time, I have well over a million-dollar net worth based on this fact.</p><p><b>Tesla 10-year return on investment</b></p><p>I made my initial investment in Tesla back in 2012 and have held through the many highs and lows over the last 10 years.</p><p><b>Tesla 10-year chart</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c6f4a069c5d0a8d1c46387167c52d8f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"285\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla Long-term Chart (Finviz)</span></p><p>A $1,000 investment in Tesla in 2012 would be worth over $150,000 now, that’s more than a 18,000% return. A similar investment in the S&amp;P 500 would have given you an approximate 350% return. One of the primary reasons I sold was the fact I&#39;m 10 years older now. At nearly, 60, my priorities have changed. I&#39;m transitioning from a primarily growth portfolio to an income and dividend retirement portfolio.</p><p>Even so, I&#39;m not dead yet and saw an opportunity to jump back in to Tesla after a 25% drawdown. What’s more, I posit Tesla’s stock trades on the technical, not fundamental status. In fact, the stock just bounced off major support. Let me explain.</p><p><b>Tesla technical analysis</b></p><p>Tesla’s stock fallen 25% since I took profits on my long-term position.</p><p><b>Tesla current chart</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/792ea9bbefed3d777ecfcc34810ab1eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"199\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla Current Chart (Finviz)</span></p><p>I sold for several reasons as I have already stated. Yet, none were related to the fact I felt Tesla didn’t still have a solid growth story going forward. The primary reason was I saw Musk’s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR) buy causing a major pullback in the stock. Well, turns out I made the correct call on that. After owning a stock long term you begin to become attuned to what may or may not cause gyrations in the name. Yet, after a 25% drop and subsequent bounce off support which created a double bottom trend reversal signal, I decided to jump back in at 25% of my initial position. This is basically betting with the houses’ money for me at this point. If I hadn’t sold, I would be down 25% on the investment. It’s basically a freeroll on Tesla, that is hard to pass up. Now let’s wrap this up.</p><p><b>The Wrap Up</b></p><p>I believe Tesla’s first mover advantage will continue to provide a large margin of safety for investors. The massive head start regarding super charging infrastructure will be a key catalyst for the company going forward. Sure, substantial competition is on the way. That&#39;s a major reason why I took a portion of my Tesla gains and added to my position in Ford (F), which I have owned for over ten years as well. The fact of the matter is there&#39;s plenty of room for some competition with the expansive total addressable EV market.</p><p>The cherry on top for me is Elon Musk. I truly believe he may be one of the smartest men alive (if not the smartest). How can he not be? Musk made the savvy move of transitioning Tesla and SpaceX headquarters to my home sate of Texas from California which will definitely improve profit margins. I could go more into detail as to why the move to Texas was extremely shrewd, but I don’t want to upset the California Tesla shareholders anymore than they already are.</p><p><b>Final Note</b></p><p>The stock market is under pressure again as I wrap up this piece. There&#39;s a fine art to catching falling knives. It entails layering into new positions over time to reduce risk. I have only bought back one quarter of my original position, for example. In extremely volatile times such as these, you will want to have plenty of dry powder if the stock continues lower.</p><p>My overriding US Army 10th Mountain Winter Warrior investing motto is “patience equals profits.”</p></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>Tesla: Timing Is Everything</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\">\nTesla: Timing Is Everything\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-19 11:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4512969-tesla-timing-is-everything><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryYou hear a lot about timing when it comes to the stock market.“You can’t time the market” is one of the most often used maxims I’m sure many of you have heard, and even more adhere to. ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4512969-tesla-timing-is-everything\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4512969-tesla-timing-is-everything","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2236797581","content_text":"SummaryYou hear a lot about timing when it comes to the stock market.“You can’t time the market” is one of the most often used maxims I’m sure many of you have heard, and even more adhere to.

My second choice is Ford (F) which just introduced the new EV Ford F150 Lightning. Yet, Tesla does have several first mover advantages over the competition. The primary one is Tesla’s charging infrastructure.Tesla’s vastly superior charging infrastructureMy friend and fellow CNBC compatriot Brian “Sully” Sullivan recently performed a very enlightening experiment where he went on a long-distance road trip across California in a non-Tesla EV. You can watch the short video of the results of the trip here. Needless to say, it was an eye-opener. The bottom line is, the other EV car companies have a long way to go to catch up with Tesla in regards to charging stations. See graphic of Tesla super-charging stations across North America.Tesla Super charging station mapTesla North American Supercharging Station Map (Tesla.com)With 30,000+ Superchargers, Tesla owns and operates the largest global, fast charging network in the world. The charging stations are located on major routes and near convenient amenities. Furthermore, based on Sully’s experiment, the competition is woefully behind the curve. Nonetheless, the Biden administration has allocated billions to get EV charging infrastructure in place. Even so, based on past experience, I don’t have a lot of faith in the government’s execution. Government projects rarely come in on time and almost always over budget. So, I see Tesla’s lead in charging stations as a major competitive advantage.The bottom line is, Tesla doesn’t trade on fundamentals or valuation at all. It’s a story stock as I stated earlier. Furthermore, I have held the stock for the past 10 years in a tax advantaged account with substantial unrealized gains in the position. As my father instilled in me, I believe it’s “time in” the market, not “timing” the market, that creates true wealth. At this point in time, I have well over a million-dollar net worth based on this fact.Tesla 10-year return on investmentI made my initial investment in Tesla back in 2012 and have held through the many highs and lows over the last 10 years.Tesla 10-year chartTesla Long-term Chart (Finviz)A $1,000 investment in Tesla in 2012 would be worth over $150,000 now, that’s more than a 18,000% return. A similar investment in the S&P 500 would have given you an approximate 350% return. One of the primary reasons I sold was the fact I'm 10 years older now. At nearly, 60, my priorities have changed. I'm transitioning from a primarily growth portfolio to an income and dividend retirement portfolio.Even so, I'm not dead yet and saw an opportunity to jump back in to Tesla after a 25% drawdown. What’s more, I posit Tesla’s stock trades on the technical, not fundamental status. In fact, the stock just bounced off major support. Let me explain.Tesla technical analysisTesla’s stock fallen 25% since I took profits on my long-term position.Tesla current chartTesla Current Chart (Finviz)I sold for several reasons as I have already stated. Yet, none were related to the fact I felt Tesla didn’t still have a solid growth story going forward. The primary reason was I saw Musk’s Twitter (TWTR) buy causing a major pullback in the stock. Well, turns out I made the correct call on that. After owning a stock long term you begin to become attuned to what may or may not cause gyrations in the name. Yet, after a 25% drop and subsequent bounce off support which created a double bottom trend reversal signal, I decided to jump back in at 25% of my initial position. This is basically betting with the houses’ money for me at this point. If I hadn’t sold, I would be down 25% on the investment. It’s basically a freeroll on Tesla, that is hard to pass up. Now let’s wrap this up.The Wrap UpI believe Tesla’s first mover advantage will continue to provide a large margin of safety for investors. The massive head start regarding super charging infrastructure will be a key catalyst for the company going forward. Sure, substantial competition is on the way. That's a major reason why I took a portion of my Tesla gains and added to my position in Ford (F), which I have owned for over ten years as well. The fact of the matter is there's plenty of room for some competition with the expansive total addressable EV market.The cherry on top for me is Elon Musk. I truly believe he may be one of the smartest men alive (if not the smartest). How can he not be? Musk made the savvy move of transitioning Tesla and SpaceX headquarters to my home sate of Texas from California which will definitely improve profit margins. I could go more into detail as to why the move to Texas was extremely shrewd, but I don’t want to upset the California Tesla shareholders anymore than they already are.Final NoteThe stock market is under pressure again as I wrap up this piece. There's a fine art to catching falling knives. It entails layering into new positions over time to reduce risk. I have only bought back one quarter of my original position, for example. In extremely volatile times such as these, you will want to have plenty of dry powder if the stock continues lower.My overriding US Army 10th Mountain Winter Warrior investing motto is “patience equals profits.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988839267,"gmtCreate":1666712475359,"gmtModify":1676537794480,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988839267","repostId":"2278020272","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999625575,"gmtCreate":1660526847699,"gmtModify":1676533486174,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good sharing&nbsp;","listText":"Good sharing&nbsp;","text":"Good sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999625575","repostId":"2259778093","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2259778093","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1660525993,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2259778093?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-15 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It's a Good Time to Buy Stock in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, Here's Why","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259778093","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Berkshire Hathaway has never been in better shape.

Oracle</h2><p>Oracle, the world&#39;s top database management software company, had once been considered an also-ran of the tech sector. Its sales of on-premise software had been cooling off across the saturated market, and cloud-based challengers like <b>Amazon</b> and <b>Microsoft </b>were threatening to disrupt its aging business.</p><p>But instead of sitting still and becoming obsolete, Oracle transformed its on-premise software into cloud-based services. It also expanded that sticky ecosystem with enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools through several big acquisitions. Those efforts were costly, but they enabled Oracle to consistently grow its revenues again and avoid becoming the next <b>IBM</b>.</p><p>Oracle&#39;s revenue growth stalled out in fiscal 2019 and 2020 (which ended in May of the calendar year) as it implemented those turnaround strategies. But its revenue subsequently rose 4% in fiscal 2021 and 5% in fiscal 2022. It expects its cloud revenues to grow 30% organically in fiscal 2023, accelerating from its 22% growth in fiscal 2022, while analysts expect its total revenue (including its recent acquisition of Cerner) to rise 17%.</p><p>Oracle&#39;s earnings per share have also risen consistently, partly driven by buybacks, and analysts expect its earnings (including Cerner) to grow 67% this year. That&#39;s an impressive growth rate for a stock that trades at less than 20 times forward earnings. It&#39;s also reduced its share count by 45% over the past 10 years and pays a decent forward dividend yield of 1.6%.</p><h2>2. General Mills</h2><p>General Mills sells over 100 brands of packaged food products, including Cheerios, Yoplait, Häagen-Dazs, Betty Crocker, Green Giant, and Pillsbury. It also sells premium pet products through its Blue Buffalo subsidiary.</p><p>General Mills is a great stock to own during a downturn for three reasons. First, its business is resistant to inflation, recessions, and other macroeconomic headwinds because people (and their pets) need to eat. For fiscal 2023 (which started this May), General Mills expects its organic sales to increase 4% to 5% and for its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to grow 0% to 3% in constant currency terms. That stable outlook suggests it can comfortably pass on some of its inflationary costs to consumers with price hikes while protecting its bottom-line growth with tighter cost-cutting measures.</p><p>Second, it&#39;s firmly profitable and pays out nearly half its earnings to fund its forward dividend yield of 2.8%. The company and its predecessor have also paid out uninterrupted dividends for more than a century. Lastly, General Mills&#39; stock is still cheap at 19 times forward earnings. That low valuation arguably makes it more attractive than comparable packaged foods stalwarts like <b>Coca-Cola</b> and <b>PepsiCo</b>, which currently trade at 26 and 27 times forward earnings, respectively.</p><h2>3. LVMH</h2><p>Lastly, high-end luxury stocks are good defensive plays during market downturns because affluent customers are more resistant to macro headwinds. My favorite play in that sector is LVMH, the world&#39;s largest luxury company. The French conglomerate owns 75 houses across five markets -- wines and spirits, fashion and leather goods, perfumes and cosmetics, watches and jewelry, and selective retailing -- and its top brands include Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loewe, Bvlgari, Tiffany &amp; Co., Hennessy, and Sephora.</p><p>LVMH experienced a slowdown during the pandemic as it temporarily closed many of its stores. But in 2021, its revenue surged 44% as its net profit soared 156%. Relative to 2019 (which skips the pandemic-related disruptions), its revenue and profit rose 20% and 68%, respectively.</p><p>LVMH faces some near-term challenges -- including supply chain disruptions, the Russo-Ukrainian war, and intermittent COVID lockdowns in China -- but inflation shouldn&#39;t pose much of a threat because it can easily pass on its higher costs to its well-heeled consumers.</p><p>That&#39;s why analysts expect LVMH&#39;s revenue and net profit to rise 18% and 17%, respectively, this year. Its stock is reasonably valued at 25 times next year&#39;s earnings -- especially considering that its rival <b>Hermès</b> trades at 50 times forward earnings -- and it pays a decent forward yield of 1.7%.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off</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\">\n3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-20 07:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/19/3-top-stocks-to-buy-during-a-sell-off/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The S&P 500 has rallied about 10% over the past month as declining gas prices and signs of supply chain improvements have suggested that brighter days are ahead.

Its stock is reasonably valued at 25 times next year's earnings -- especially considering that its rival Hermès trades at 50 times forward earnings -- and it pays a decent forward yield of 1.7%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9993513673,"gmtCreate":1660700504393,"gmtModify":1676536382541,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ESG.SI\">$Lion OCBC Low Carbon(ESG.SI)$</a>better times ahead?&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ESG.SI\">$Lion OCBC Low Carbon(ESG.SI)$</a>better times ahead?&nbsp;","text":"$Lion OCBC Low Carbon(ESG.SI)$better times ahead?","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a6f277ce152faba31cc390a630246a5f","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9993513673","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":63,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9020893743,"gmtCreate":1652597173482,"gmtModify":1676535127244,"author":{"id":"4107327092916560","authorId":"4107327092916560","name":"liverpool777","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/ccd27a97994c1a784b2b11e33f646a2a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good sharing","listText":"Good sharing","text":"Good sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9020893743","repostId":"2235748594","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2235748594","pubTimestamp":1652578501,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2235748594?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-05-15 09:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy the S&P 500's 4 Worst-Performing 2022 Stocks?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2235748594","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The sellers seem to have overshot their targets with certain stocks, pricing in a scenario that's unlikely to happen.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>If you&#39;re a bargain-shopping kind of investor, there are certainly plenty of stocks on sale here.
