Any company associated with the now-collapsed Silicon Valley Bank and its parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIVB\">SVB Financial </a> took hard blows in the market today. Coinbase was a Silicon Valley Bank client back in the day, and the two companies&#39; relationship went a little deeper at one point.</p><h2>So what</h2><p>So to some degree it was understandable that investors would trade out of Coinbase. Panic was in the air Friday in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank&#39;s disintegration and subsequent receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The fallout was swift and sharp, and numerous companies were damaged by it.</p><p>Coinbase wasn&#39;t only a SVB client; it was also one of that company&#39;s potential shareholdings. In 2014, when cryptocurrency projects and crypto-affiliated businesses were having a tough time securing financing from traditional sources, Coinbase gave a stock warrant to Silicon Valley Bank. Apparently, this was part of the two companies&#39; agreement under which Coinbase could utilize the bank&#39;s services.</p><p>The warrant gave Silicon Valley Bank the right to purchase over 400,000 shares of Coinbase&#39;s class B common stock at a price just over $1 apiece. The warrant was set to expire in June 2024.

Any company associated with the now-collapsed Silicon Valley Bank and its parent SVB Financial  took hard blows in the market today. Coinbase was a Silicon Valley Bank client back in the day, and the two companies' relationship went a little deeper at one point.So whatSo to some degree it was understandable that investors would trade out of Coinbase. Panic was in the air Friday in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's disintegration and subsequent receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The fallout was swift and sharp, and numerous companies were damaged by it.Coinbase wasn't only a SVB client; it was also one of that company's potential shareholdings. In 2014, when cryptocurrency projects and crypto-affiliated businesses were having a tough time securing financing from traditional sources, Coinbase gave a stock warrant to Silicon Valley Bank. Apparently, this was part of the two companies' agreement under which Coinbase could utilize the bank's services.The warrant gave Silicon Valley Bank the right to purchase over 400,000 shares of Coinbase's class B common stock at a price just over $1 apiece. The warrant was set to expire in June 2024. Its fate isn't entirely clear, but in SVB's latest 10K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company revealed that in 2021 it reaped $116 million in gains \"related to Coinbase's direct listing.\"Coinbase went public via such a method in April 2021.Now whatInvestors shouldn't be swayed on Coinbase one way or another due to the SVB association. The two companies were tied fairly closely together at one point, but seem to have drifted far apart. Since the SVB contagion appears to be quite limited with Coinbase -- at least, as far as we know now -- the exchange operator's stock should be judged more on its own fundamentals and potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":280,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949190433,"gmtCreate":1678411368223,"gmtModify":1678411372068,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All the best! 🧐","listText":"All the best! 🧐","text":"All the best! 🧐","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949190433","repostId":"1167818913","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1167818913","pubTimestamp":1678409302,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1167818913?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-10 08:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden Unveils $6.9 Trillion Budget, Setting Up Showdown With GOP","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167818913","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Plan includes $5.5 trillion in tax increases over next decadeAs GOP seeks $150 billion in cuts, Bide","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Plan includes $5.5 trillion in tax increases over next decade</li><li>As GOP seeks $150 billion in cuts, Biden eyes $77 billion hike</li></ul><p>President Joe Biden unveiled a $6.9 trillion budget proposal on Thursday, a defiant opening salvo in high-stakes negotiations with congressional Republicans over the debt ceiling and government funding.</p><p>The proposal, certain to be rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, showed little inclination for compromise, asking lawmakers to bolster the social safety net through a flurry of new taxes on the wealthy and corporations.</p><p>Biden unveiled his proposal at a workforce training facility in Philadelphia where he challenged Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to detail his own plan.</p><p>“I want to make clear, I’m ready to meet with the Speaker anytime — tomorrow if he has his budget, lay it down,” Biden said.</p><p>The president’s proposal would increase funding on a bevy of government programs, extending the solvency of Medicare, lowering prescription drug prices, and cutting the deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade.

The president also wants to hike the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, end Medicare and retirement tax loopholes used by the wealthy, and eliminate breaks for real estate investors and oil and gas industries.</p><p>The tax plans have little chance of passing. Biden had to pare back a scaled-down version of the proposal to win the support of Democratic senators for his climate and inflation legislation last year.</p><p><b>2024</b></p><p>Biden’s budget is heavy on proposals the White House believes enjoy wide bipartisan support, and that can serve as a platform for his coming reelection bid.</p><p>Leading the charge are a slew of proposed changes to how the government could negotiate and limit the price of prescription drugs, which the administration estimates could save more than $200 billion over the next decade. Biden’s proposal would cap insulin prescriptions at $35 per month for all Americans, and cap the cost of certain generic drugs, like those used to treat hypertension and high cholesterol, to $2 per prescription per month.</p><p>Biden also calls for federal funding for free preschool for the nation’s 4-year-olds, as well as a 10.5% increase for existing early care programs and a 9% bump for Head Start. Biden also seeks to boost federal programs with bipartisan appeal, asking for billions more for cancer research and funding to hire 350 more border patrol agents.</p><p>Underscoring Biden’s stance opposing defunding the police, the budget calls for a 66% increase in police hiring grants.</p><p><b>Economic Assumptions</b></p><p>The Biden administration is expecting inflation to continue its deceleration path to end 2023 at 4.3%—from a current annual rate of 6.4%. The projection is largely in line with the median forecast from economists compiled by Bloomberg, a major change from last year’s release, when the White House came under scrutiny for publishing outdated economic estimates.</p><p>Biden’s economic team also sees the US economy expanding at 0.6% in real terms in 2023, in line with estimates from both Wall Street economists and the Federal Reserve. The administration, which has capitalized on the strength of the labor market in an effort to showcase a thriving economy, sees the unemployment rate ending 2023 at 4.3% from a more than five-decade low of 3.4%.</p><p><b>Lowering Costs</b></p><p>While this iteration lacks some of the sweeping new programs Biden proposed in his first budget, the White House does propose boosting funding for programs it says would help Americans handle rising costs in the era of inflation. The request includes $59 billion for affordable housing, and proposes expanding Pell Grants for low-income college students by $500. Biden would boost funding for free school lunches, home energy and water assistance, and health care subsidies.</p><p>Biden also asks Congress to renew an expanded child tax credit, which expired last year, of up to $3,600 per child, earning plaudits from progressive lawmakers.</p><p><b>Medicare and Social Security</b></p><p>Biden’s budget envisions extending a key Medicare program for another quarter century, largely by increasing taxes on those making over $400,000 per year. Republicans have vowed they wouldn’t touch the program, but Biden has sought to highlight past GOP efforts to overhaul entitlement programs by reducing eligibility or benefits.</p><p>Interestingly, Biden opted against a proposal offered by some Democratic lawmakers that would impose Social Security payroll taxes on wealthier Americans. Currently, income over $160,200 isn’t taxed for the program. Budget Director Shalanda Young said the decision was intended to signal that changing the program was “not on the table.”</p><p><b>Republican Response</b></p><p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters the House budget plan will be delayed because Biden’s budget was a month late and Republicans need to analyze it. But on Wednesday, he flatly ruled out Biden’s proposed tax increases.</p><p>“I do not believe raising taxes is the answer,” he said.</p><p>Republicans are seeking to balance the budget within ten years, a feat that would likely require some $20 trillion in spending cuts if no taxes are increased. McCarthy has said he would not back cuts to Medicare and Social Security. That means the cuts would focus on the domestic discretionary budget that covers everything from cancer research to Head Start. It will also look for savings by cutting Medicaid, food stamps and other anti-poverty programs.</p><p><b>Defense</b></p><p>The White House’s proposed $842 billion Pentagon-only request is the largest defense budget in the post-Vietnam era excluding costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a 3.2% increase over the $816 billion that Congress appropriated this year.</p><p>The Pentagon request includes $170 billion in procurement spending and $145 billion for research and development as the US looks to regain the technological edge that lawmakers and experts have lamented it has lost to China’s own ambitious defense build-out.</p><p>The White House said it wanted to speed up development of what it calls “uncrewed combat aircraft” — drones that serve as wingmen for piloted planes. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall this week disclosed the service will request funds to buy up to 1,000 of the craft.</p><p>It also “invests in key technologies and sectors of the U.S. industrial base such as microelectronics, submarine construction, munitions production, and biomanufacturing,” said the release.</p><p>The administration’s overall national security request — which includes the Energy Department and other agencies — totals $886 billion.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It will also look for savings by cutting Medicaid, food stamps and other anti-poverty programs.DefenseThe White House’s proposed $842 billion Pentagon-only request is the largest defense budget in the post-Vietnam era excluding costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a 3.2% increase over the $816 billion that Congress appropriated this year.The Pentagon request includes $170 billion in procurement spending and $145 billion for research and development as the US looks to regain the technological edge that lawmakers and experts have lamented it has lost to China’s own ambitious defense build-out.The White House said it wanted to speed up development of what it calls “uncrewed combat aircraft” — drones that serve as wingmen for piloted planes. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall this week disclosed the service will request funds to buy up to 1,000 of the craft.It also “invests in key technologies and sectors of the U.S. industrial base such as microelectronics, submarine construction, munitions production, and biomanufacturing,” said the release.The administration’s overall national security request — which includes the Energy Department and other agencies — totals $886 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":339,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940099108,"gmtCreate":1677584067805,"gmtModify":1677584072796,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","listText":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","text":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940099108","repostId":"1113839894","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957379788,"gmtCreate":1677046942944,"gmtModify":1677046948073,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What a time of the market to be this! 😂😉","listText":"What a time of the market to be this! 😂😉","text":"What a time of the market to be this! 😂😉","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c2f9a875c8df56bd06998cf0deca6c5d","width":"1125","height":"1476"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957379788","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":218,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957981686,"gmtCreate":1676895384245,"gmtModify":1676895387550,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yepp.","listText":"Yepp.","text":"Yepp.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957981686","repostId":"2312207897","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2312207897","pubTimestamp":1676893713,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2312207897?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-20 19:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Historic Buying Opportunity: Why Alphabet Is a No-Brainer Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2312207897","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The recent sell-off in Alphabet stock is a buying opportunity for long-term investors.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Microsoft</b> is getting into artificial intelligence with OpenAI-powered search and office assistants, and the market&#39;s reaction was to sell off <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s stock by nearly 10%.

However, despite currency challenges, macro uncertainty, and a slowdown in overall digital advertising growth, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> (NASDAQ: META) posted better-than-expected Q4 results.</p><p>Despite Meta&#39;s challenges since 2018, such as Apple&#39;s (AAPL) attempts to protect user privacy with App Tracking Transparency, a decline in ad revenue, considerable investments in the Metaverse, and regulatory scrutiny, the headwinds have already been reflected in the stock price. META has already bottomed out around $88-$89.</p><p>Not surprisingly, META has rebounded massively in the past month, significantly contributing to our model portfolio&#39;s gains and delivering a 114% RoI in two months. Despite the strong bull run, I stay bullish on META on my personal and model portfolios, as the investment thesis remains intact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4169d23279271350ca574cab866ff3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Yiazou Model Portfolio</p><h2>Cyclicality Kicks In With Cautious Optimism</h2><p>Meta&#39;s revenue for 2022 dropped slightly to $116.6 billion, a 1.1% YoY decrease, but the number of active users on Meta maintained a rising trajectory. Favorably, user engagement increased YoY as daily user growth exceeded monthly user growth for Facebook and its family of apps ((FoA)). Meta&#39;s outlook has slightly improved following management&#39;s revenue guidance of $26-$28.5 billion in the first quarter, the new $40 billion stock repurchase plan, and the revised spending plan down to $89-$95 billion. The cost-efficiency news relieved investors and caused a spike of more than 20% in the stock price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30c6ccf53600d1785ad2fffd0165d54a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"152\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta&#39;s 10-K 2022</p><p>Undoubtedly, advertising spending will slow in 2023 due to rising interest rates, inflation, and the sluggish global economy. As we all know, the ad business experiences ups and downs in a repeated pattern, known as cyclicality. For example, when the economy is strong, businesses have more resources to allocate toward advertising and demand for ad space increases. Conversely, ad spending decreases during economic downturns as companies tighten their budgets. This creates a cyclical pattern of increased and decreased demand for advertising services.</p><p>According to Magna, worldwide advertising revenue will increase by roughly 5% to $833 billion in 2023 from 7% in 2022, GroupM and Dentsu anticipate slightly faster growth in 2023. On the contrary, according to Insider Intelligence, they expect a 10.5% digital ad growth in 2023. Most businesses claim that rising inflationary pressures are driving down levels of marketing investment. At the same time, marketers at smaller companies report a rise in marketing spending, and marketing leaders in large companies report a decrease in marketing spending due to inflation. Nevertheless, using the midpoint of Meta&#39;s revenue guidance for Q1, the $27.25 billion suggest a drop of 1.68% QoQ, setting a relatively easy target to beat.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/da25ce84f31a827e2f972dcd9b6ac3f0\" tg-width=\"586\" tg-height=\"550\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.insiderintelligence.com</p><h2>Contextual Targeting Is Becoming A Thing</h2><p>Delivering relevant advertisements to consumers based on the context of the content they are now seeing or engaging with is a technique known as contextual targeting in advertising. By aligning the context of the content with the goods or services sold, advertisers may make sure that the ads they display are pertinent to the interests of the customers they want to attract.</p><p>For instance, a reader of a food article would see advertisements for cooking tools or ingredients, whereas a reader of a sports article might see advertisements for sporting goods. Contextual targeting aims to improve the ads&#39; relevance and attractiveness to the target market, increasing the likelihood that the campaign will succeed.</p><p>The demand for first-party data is one of the ad tech trends that will persist in 2023. Marketers have been anticipating the same for Chrome users for a few years now as Firefox and Safari have begun to restrict third-party cookies on their respective browsers. Because of this, several companies have already begun to collect and use their first-party data (1P). 1P data is of higher quality and aids in understanding the customer&#39;s needs. Meta has now developed more AI/ML tools to support contextual targeting, which are expected to significantly improve its ads&#39; relevance.</p><p>Meta&#39;s top line will continue seeing headwinds due to privacy changes IDFA/ATT. However, management has mitigated the impact through various advertising options, such as ad formats that encourage conversions on-site and longer-term AI investments in privacy-enhancing technology. As a result of those efforts, advertisers saw over 20% more conversions than the previous year in the most recent quarter, which has led to increased returns on ad spending and lower acquisition costs.</p><h2>FoA &amp; The Metaverse</h2><p>While the FoA has a sizable user base, in 2022, there were more than 2.93 billion monthly active users (MAU) globally. However, most of the monetization was driven by the US and Canadian users, which reported an average revenue per user (ARPU) of $58.77 in Q4, a nearly 20% QoQ increase. Undoubtedly, nations like the US and Canada have much bigger advertising budgets than other nations in Asia or Eastern Europe, especially given their higher GDP per capita.</p><p>Because they anticipate a strong RoI from these targeted efforts, advertisers are willing to pay more for advertisements, as evidenced by Meta&#39;s ARPU. In addition, incorporating artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality technology into various goods may further boost Meta user engagement and future ad revenue development. As a result, despite the minor drop of 3.3% in ARPU YoY, Meta has achieved an impressive 11-Year CAGR of 20.7% since 2011, and the positive trend should persist.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7517ac22f78310580db3bc21ff6915d5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Yiazou Capital Research</p><p>Meta has strategically opted out from putting Reels advertisements since they want to promote its growth.

The income growth for Facebook seems to peak in the year following the elections before leveling down for the remainder of the president&#39;s term. In addition, the Democratic Governors Association used Facebook for almost 75% of its advertising budget in the 2020 election season, capitalizing on the app&#39;s popularity and high targeting offerings. As a result, I expect the elections to meaningfully boost Meta&#39;s revenues in the next 2-3 years.</p><h2>Meta Can Regain Its Competitive Position</h2><p>TikTok has grown to be the largest threat to Meta&#39;s supremacy despite having a very low ad revenue. The fact that TikTok is the fastest-growing entertainment app in terms of popularity and downloads provides a clear understanding of its expanding popularity and danger to Meta.</p><p>More than 140 billion Reels are played daily on Facebook and Instagram, and Reels plays and resharings on Facebook and Instagram &#34;have more than doubled over the last year,&#34; Increased engagement led to a 23% increase in impression sales over the previous year, partially offset by a 22% drop in average ad prices due to rising supply and weak demand. Due to lower ad pricing, user monetization was down 8% from the previous year.</p><p>Additionally, one of the most important KPIs is the average time spent (ATS), and TikTok has shown that it may divert attention from other social networks. TikTok has done an excellent job of getting users addicted to short videos for amusement, and in 2022, users spent nearly 46 minutes on the app daily. Comparatively, Meta&#39;s FoA reported ATS for Facebook and Instagram of around 30 minutes each for the same period.</p><p>Moving into 2024, TikTok will continue its momentum but at a slower rate, and it is expected to capture 18.6% of the overall time spent on social media. On the contrary, Facebook&#39;s ATS will shrink to 22.4% in 2024 from 35.3% in 2019, but Instagram is expected to rebound, competing head-to-head with TikTok at 18.6%. According to eMarketer, Meta will protect its competitive position in the foreseeable future, as in 2024, its FoA (Facebook and Instagram) is expected to account for 41% of the ATS.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f2897e2ddb8aa7f2afd424223a99a\" tg-width=\"470\" tg-height=\"495\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.insiderintelligence.com</p><p>Millennials were drawn by Facebook and Instagram when they were teenagers, but TikTok has won the Gen Z era. As a result, Meta is now fighting back to win young users, but how? Younger generations of Gen Z and Alpha are undoubtedly growing up in proto-metaverses. For instance, in 2020, 54.86% of daily active Roblox users were under 13. So it&#39;s not surprising to see consumer brands and major tech companies doubling down on Metaverse because these high-value, youthful consumers are difficult to reach through conventional marketing strategies and social media. As an alternative to Twitch, Meta Platforms has been paying videogamers since 2018 to stream their gameplay on Facebook. However, in this new time of austerity, Meta is reducing those payouts.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d95615cfa35221cc198507ecb73334e4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.newzoo.com</p><p>As we already know, Gen Z and younger generations are more likely to use newer social media sites like TikTok and not Facebook or Instagram. Specifically, Facebook&#39;s user base is aging in the West, even if it is still quite popular in developing nations like India and Africa, with Millenials and Gen Z Facebook users in the US capturing nearly 42% of total users. So, not surprisingly, younger generations are not on Facebook, the same also applies to Instagram, but Meta has recognized this early, and its move towards Metaverse years ago proves Zuckerberg&#39;s visions and deep understanding of user behavior and trends.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6569ab448d351c382006fe86b2684f0c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.statista.com</p><p>Zuckerberg knows that Meta can only regain ground by targeting the new generation of the 13-17 age group. Not surprisingly, according to a new report from WSJ, Meta is redesigning its infant Horizon Worlds metaverse app to attract more teenagers and young adults. Additionally, Meta&#39;s Joel Osbourne has recently stated that:</p><blockquote>Teens are already spending time in a variety of VR experiences on Quest, and we want to ensure that we can provide them with a great experience in Horizon Worlds as well, with age-appropriate tools and protections in place,</blockquote><p>To increase user growth and retention, Meta works with outside studios to create new worlds and experiences for Horizon. This is a crucial component of its strategy, and one of the key goals for the first half of 2023 is to increase user retention, especially among teens and young adults.</p><p>For 2022, the company&#39;s reality labs division, which comprises consumer hardware, software, and content for augmented and virtual reality, recorded an operating loss of $9.4 billion. Nevertheless, Meta appears determined to prioritize the reality labs segment despite this appalling performance. Targeting the younger generation remains vital for Meta&#39;s future, and Horizon Worlds&#39; progress will strongly support the company&#39;s ambitious plans.</p><h2>Cost Efficiency Plan Relieves Investors</h2><p>With its revised cost-cutting strategy for 2023, which was reduced from $94–$100 billion to $89–$95 billion, the company&#39;s forecast also demonstrated a renewed focus on cost control and cost-cutting. In addition, due to switching to a more cost-effective strategy, management also reduced its CapEx forecast for the year, stating it would only spend $30 to $33 billion, down $4 billion from its previous estimate.</p><p>Zuckerburg will try to flatten Meta&#39;s organizational structure, eliminate middle management, and use AI tools to assist engineers in working more efficiently. Moreover, the $4.2 billion in restructuring costs for severance and related expenses, as well as the closing of several of its offices and data centers, were incurred during the quarter. The severance costs reflect the company&#39;s earlier choice to eliminate 11,000 employees.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26e55a687cb17150c44386e6038343fc\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><h2>Valuation Remains Attractive</h2><p>In the following 2-3 years, we expect a rerating in META&#39;s P/E multiple, derived from a combination of higher EPS due to growth and reduced expenses. Assuming a moderate annual growth of 2-3% in 2023, with a strong rebound in 2024-2025 of 15%+ annual growth (in light of US presidential elections, Reels/WhatsApp monetization, and cyclicality effect), META can regain valuation ground and trade at a P/E of 25-30x, implying a target price of $215-$257.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85b254741ad44551f4ffeb056e5de1f5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Meta spent $6.9 billion on repurchasing its Class A common shares in Q4 bringing the total amount of shares it has purchased this year to $27.9 billion.

Unfortunately, Meta mainly relies on the mobile distribution pipelines of Apple and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) (GOOGL), and the recent privacy changes are impacting the company&#39;s business model, exposing its vulnerabilities. Indeed, Meta doesn&#39;t operate a mobile marketplace like Apple and Google, and Zuckerberg&#39;s attempt to create his data supply chain in the future (from hardware to software, operating system, and marketplace on top of which users experience the brand) is the only way to regain supremacy and make Meta an absolute near monopoly powerhouse.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","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>Meta: This Is A Game Changer</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\">\nMeta: This Is A Game Changer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-09 19:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4576399-meta-this-is-a-game-changer><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investment ThesisIn light of a potential economic crisis, advertising seems to be growing more cautious.

However, despite currency challenges, macro uncertainty, and a slowdown in overall digital advertising growth, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) posted better-than-expected Q4 results.Despite Meta's challenges since 2018, such as Apple's (AAPL) attempts to protect user privacy with App Tracking Transparency, a decline in ad revenue, considerable investments in the Metaverse, and regulatory scrutiny, the headwinds have already been reflected in the stock price. META has already bottomed out around $88-$89.Not surprisingly, META has rebounded massively in the past month, significantly contributing to our model portfolio's gains and delivering a 114% RoI in two months. Despite the strong bull run, I stay bullish on META on my personal and model portfolios, as the investment thesis remains intact.Yiazou Model PortfolioCyclicality Kicks In With Cautious OptimismMeta's revenue for 2022 dropped slightly to $116.6 billion, a 1.1% YoY decrease, but the number of active users on Meta maintained a rising trajectory. Favorably, user engagement increased YoY as daily user growth exceeded monthly user growth for Facebook and its family of apps ((FoA)). Meta's outlook has slightly improved following management's revenue guidance of $26-$28.5 billion in the first quarter, the new $40 billion stock repurchase plan, and the revised spending plan down to $89-$95 billion. The cost-efficiency news relieved investors and caused a spike of more than 20% in the stock price.Meta's 10-K 2022Undoubtedly, advertising spending will slow in 2023 due to rising interest rates, inflation, and the sluggish global economy. As we all know, the ad business experiences ups and downs in a repeated pattern, known as cyclicality. For example, when the economy is strong, businesses have more resources to allocate toward advertising and demand for ad space increases. Conversely, ad spending decreases during economic downturns as companies tighten their budgets. This creates a cyclical pattern of increased and decreased demand for advertising services.According to Magna, worldwide advertising revenue will increase by roughly 5% to $833 billion in 2023 from 7% in 2022, GroupM and Dentsu anticipate slightly faster growth in 2023. On the contrary, according to Insider Intelligence, they expect a 10.5% digital ad growth in 2023. Most businesses claim that rising inflationary pressures are driving down levels of marketing investment. At the same time, marketers at smaller companies report a rise in marketing spending, and marketing leaders in large companies report a decrease in marketing spending due to inflation. Nevertheless, using the midpoint of Meta's revenue guidance for Q1, the $27.25 billion suggest a drop of 1.68% QoQ, setting a relatively easy target to beat.www.insiderintelligence.comContextual Targeting Is Becoming A ThingDelivering relevant advertisements to consumers based on the context of the content they are now seeing or engaging with is a technique known as contextual targeting in advertising. By aligning the context of the content with the goods or services sold, advertisers may make sure that the ads they display are pertinent to the interests of the customers they want to attract.For instance, a reader of a food article would see advertisements for cooking tools or ingredients, whereas a reader of a sports article might see advertisements for sporting goods. Contextual targeting aims to improve the ads' relevance and attractiveness to the target market, increasing the likelihood that the campaign will succeed.The demand for first-party data is one of the ad tech trends that will persist in 2023. Marketers have been anticipating the same for Chrome users for a few years now as Firefox and Safari have begun to restrict third-party cookies on their respective browsers. Because of this, several companies have already begun to collect and use their first-party data (1P). 1P data is of higher quality and aids in understanding the customer's needs. Meta has now developed more AI/ML tools to support contextual targeting, which are expected to significantly improve its ads' relevance.Meta's top line will continue seeing headwinds due to privacy changes IDFA/ATT. However, management has mitigated the impact through various advertising options, such as ad formats that encourage conversions on-site and longer-term AI investments in privacy-enhancing technology.

As a result, Reels' growth has exploded recently, and as it gains more traction, Meta is getting closer to monetization, which will substantially boost the overall ARPU in the foreseeable future.Since 2008, a cyclical pattern in Facebook's revenue seems to coincide with the US Presidential elections, as the previous three cycles appear to be correlated.

It is indeed delusional as Morgan Stanley&#39;s Lisa Shalett puts it, that CEOs and subsequently, analysts haven&#39;t lowered 2023 and 2024 earnings estimates commensurately - even as many confidently predict a recession. I expect inflation, which caused a single digit revenue increase for S&amp;P 500 companies to reduce gradually in 2023. The 6-8% increase in CPI and CPE throughout 2022, which depleted customers wallets, also contributed strongly to the S&amp;P 500 top line. We paid higher at the pump and at the grocery store because companies passed along these costs to us, their customers. This is highly unlikely to happen in 2023, especially on a higher base. In fact, excess inventory and lower demand should lead to lower prices across the board.</p><p>I see the slow reaction from investors and traders to lower earnings guidance as the biggest threat to the market in the first quarter of 2023. For now, however, it feels like a slow burn till Q4-22 earnings season starts in earnest in the third week of Jan 2023, when Q1-2023 and full year 2023 guidance finally tips over and the disappointment hits the markets like a freight train.</p><p>It is not that analysts have been sleeping, they did mark earnings down 5.6% for Q4 2022 in October and November.</p><blockquote>According to FactSet the Q4 bottom-up EPS estimate (which is an aggregation of the median EPS estimates for Q4 for all the companies in the index) decreased by 5.6% (to $54.58 from $57.79) from September 30 to November 30.<b> Thus, the decline in the bottom-up EPS estimate recorded during the first two months of the fourth quarter was larger than the 5-year average, the 10-year average, the 15-year average, and the 20-year average.</b> The fourth quarter also marked the largest decrease in the bottom-up EPS estimate during the first two months of a quarter since Q2 2020 (-35.9%).</blockquote><blockquote>The bottom-up EPS estimate for CY 2023 declined by 3.6% (to $232.52 from $241.22) from September 30 to November 30.&#34;</blockquote><p>As of now, in my opinion, consensus bottoms up revenue estimates of $232.52 are still way too high and don&#39;t reflect weaknesses in the energy, real estate, technology and communication sectors:</p><p>Here are my S&amp;P 500 sector specific growth rates estimates that point to a 5% lower YoY 2023 earnings of $210 compared to 2022.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbb0fe35e949913adff22ab9a88c3f14\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"266\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500 earnings By Sector (FactSet, Bloomberg, The Heisenberg Report, Fountainhead)</p><p>In my opinion, these are the sectors that should weigh strongest on the S&amp;P 500 in 2023.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HTM.AU\">High</a> oil prices, which led to a massive 100% increase in Energy earnings will see a 50% reversal to earnings in 2023 and bring its sector weighting back to the more normal 5%.</li><li>Real Estate, which saw gains of 15% in 2022 should fall with the housing bust and drop 10% in 2023.</li><li>Consumer cyclicals should also lose much of its inflationary gains of 2022 with tepid growth of 3% in 2023.</li><li>Technology, the highest weighting, which still eked out an estimated gain of 4.8% is likely to lose about 6.3% in 2023.</li></ul><h2>I Expect Growth to Resume in 2024</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bbd424f4cabab6ef3b3499dfe94afda\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"366\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500 Earnings Estimate 2023 (FactSet, The Heisenberg Report, Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, Fountainhead)</p><p>I stacked up my estimates against consensus and Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, whose analysts had outstanding bear calls for 2022. I&#39;m not as bearish as Bank of America, which has an EPS estimate of just 200, but also looks for a return to growth of 10% in 2024. My own growth estimates for 2024 are higher at 13% for three reasons -</p><p>a) Technology and Communications, the two biggest sectors, will return to higher growth.</p><p>b) I don&#39;t anticipate the labor market to falter beyond an unemployment rate of 5.5 %</p><p>c) In my view, there will be &#34;normal&#34; inflation of 3% going forward, hence I do expect it to show in the nominal earnings numbers.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bfa77b7df59053b8f77f99746130ceb1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500 PE V Interest Rates (Current Market Valuation)</p><h2>A Conservative Multiple and Growth Rate</h2><p>Based on the historical chart above, in 1995, the 10-year treasury was above 6% and then fell to a low of 2% during the Great Financial Crisis, ranging between 3.5% to 4.5% for the most part in those 15 years. During this period, the S&amp;P 500 P/E ranged between 15 and 25 for the most part except for those two years when earnings plummeted during the GFC. The &#34;supposedly high&#34; 10-year interest rate of 3.5%, which has given investors so much consternation was &#34;normal&#34; for 15 years and we still had P/E&#39;s of 15+ during that time. Therefore, I believe that a P/E of 17.5 around the end of 2023 with a trending decline in interest rates in 2024 is not a big ask at all - if anything I may be conservative.</p><p>Going forward, I&#39;m not looking at P/E&#39;s beyond 18, which would make us guilty of a recency bias. In the greatest bond market in history, before inflation reared its ugly head, after the GFC, 10-year treasuries ranged between 2% and 4% and of course between 0.5% and 2% during COVID, which led to the S&amp;P at 4,800 having a trailing P/E of 23 on a 2021 EPS of $209! If it looks like an asset bubble, if it walks like an asset bubble... That should be a clear warning!</p><p>Also from an earnings standpoint, if you smoothen out COVID fluctuations, the 5 year 2019-2024 earnings CAGR is only 7.8%, which is consistent with the 2011-2022 growth of 7.6%. I&#39;m not taking the higher 2009-2022 rate because post GFC the base of 62.09 was extremely low and it distorts the historical trend.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4cb2e82a491d50558d9de8055a8ce462\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"365\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500 Earnings (Fountainhead, Yahoo Finance, Yardeni)</p><h2>I believe The Fed Pivot is not Pivotal</h2><p>I actually believe that the Fed pivot is not pivotal, and instead of navel-gazing as to when Powell will blink in the face of recession, we should be looking at a new, &#34;new normal&#34; of 10 year treasuries ranging between 3.75% to 4.5% in the first half of 2023 and flattening to 3.5% to 4% in Q3 and Q4 2023 with a likely decrease in 2024. As we saw from the chart above, we have survived and thrived in 3.5 to 4% interest rates - if you&#39;re not looking for outlandish &#34;Stimmy&#34; valuations! Instead I would rather focus on finding a) Great investments and b) Scouting for bargains which will be available in spades in 2023 and c) Putting strict limits to take profits when either we&#39;ve reached our price target or the market has given it an absurd valuation.</p><h3>I expect the Fed&#39;s 2% Target Inflation Rate To be Ditched - Live With the New Normal</h3><p>I believe the Fed will explicitly or implicitly ditch its 2% target inflation rate. With the PCE (the Fed&#39;s preferred inflation gauge) running at 6% Year on Year, it doesn&#39;t make sense to target 2% knowing that you&#39;d have to set a nominal interest rate of 8% to reach that target. The PCE actually peaked at a 7% YoY increase in June 2022 and while confident of a decline, I don&#39;t believe it will go below 3-4% for the most part of 2023. Wage and shelter inflation are far stickier than commodity and supply chain inflation.</p><p>We tend to forget that the Fed hikes have a limited impact - their biggest impact and effectiveness is in pricking asset bubbles, ironically the same ones that they helped create! And to a large extent, in 2022 the markets have been punished for irrational exuberance, for buying the dip and paying excessive multiples without realizing that interest rates cannot stay at zero forever.</p><p>To that extent and if that is their mandate - they have been successful in spades. Every asset class has dropped in 2022.</p><p>Forget about the pivots and when the Feds will stop increasing rates; I think <b>the focus should be to accept that inflation is not likely to reduce in a hurry</b> - I don’t believe the Feds can actually reduce wage growth way the way they can puncture asset bubbles.</p><p>The Feds also have a hard time fighting inflation caused by supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions. For example, the Fed can do little to influence oil prices, which are again dictated by the monopolistic OPEC. Sure, higher interest rates make capital investment more expensive, thereby preventing over capacity, but simply not making capital available also has the opposite effect - you are reducing capital expenditure, which means existing manufacturers or material producers and miners can charge more without worrying about new capacity coming up soon again. I don’t believe higher interest rates are going to reduce material and commodity prices in a big way. It’s counterproductive.</p><p>To the Fed&#39;s credit - it is crucial to understand that the Fed is seen to be fighting inflation. Entrenched inflation expectations are worse because they predicate human behavior, which means instead of spending, we hoard since we expect prices to go up even further, which then creates a vicious inflationary spiral. Or we postpone, which reduces demand in the economy, not because prices have gone up recently, but we want to buy when things are cheaper. Besides, the Fed has to be that one institution, which should be seen as winning the fight on inflation - even if they attack in a &#34;whack a mole&#34; fashion. I believe the outcomes will be selective and the biggest influence will be on asset prices, and with more than a 30% drop in the NASDAQ Composite Index (COMP.IND) and 20% in the S&amp;P 500 the Fed has already achieved that.</p><p>The Fed has also done a reasonable job in reducing the housing bubble. With mortgage rates ratcheting to over 7 percent, it has shaken out a fair amount of excessive speculation. The Fed&#39;s second goal was to reduce shelter inflation/renters inflation, which usually occurs with a time lag, and I believe this should happen in Q2 of 2023, simply because leases are annual affairs and will show up in the statistics with a lag even if this is already happening. Shelter inflation is the biggest part of our monthly budget and we should see some improvements in 2023, which will continue to reduce inflation.</p><p>The last frontier - High wages. As unfortunate as it sounds, the Fed has a mandate to reduce jobs to meet their inflation targets. Currently, they expect the unemployment rate to increase to about 5% from the existing 3.6%. However, I believe wage inflation will be stubborn because a) there has been a labor shortfall because of a marked decrease in immigration due to COVID and b) there has been a steady outflow of labor from the market due to early retirement and a reluctance to work in COVID like conditions. We still have 1.9 positions to 1 available person based on JOLTS reports (Job Openings to Labor Turnover). I suspect that the Fed will baulk at achieving this target - the specter of a recession and joblessness will outweigh the need to bring inflation to the targeted rate, there will be political pressure as we head to an election year in 2024 and lastly, Fed members are old enough to remember the jobless recovery of the Obama years - higher unemployment is not a desired outcome. It takes years to recover from that!</p><h2>The Fed also needs to be careful to avoid overtightening impulses</h2><p>It is so difficult to wean off our dependency on ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) and the Feds need to ensure that we in the US don&#39;t have the same fallout the UK did when pension funds suddenly had no buyers or liquidity before the Reserve Bank of England stepped in. To quote Marko Kolanovic, Chief Global Strategist of JP Morgan Chase on the same...</p><blockquote>The financial system over the past ~15 years evolved around an environment of near-zero interest rates. This includes leverage, functioning of arbitrage channels and strategies that rely on leverage, new models of liquidity provision, liquidity risk of private assets, systematic investing, etc. Together, these can give rise to a self-reinforcing feedback loop of volatility-liquidity-positioning. This type of market interdependencies, which are a feature of financial markets built around a near-zero rate environment, can cause selloffs such as the one at the end of 2018 and on a number of other occasions. These financial risks can lead to contagion and are not captured by low-frequency economics (e.g., ‘Phillips curve,’ etc.). In an environment of deteriorating fundamentals, quantitative tightening and an abrupt increase of interest rates, these risks could emerge much sooner than, for example, an increase in unemployment or decrease in inflation.</blockquote><p>I do believe that in the face of declining earnings and lower GDP growth rates, the Feds will not risk sudden tightening impulses, especially now that they have committed to smaller rates for longer periods, which has resulted in the markets pricing a terminal rate of 5.1% instead of 4.8% from September.</p><h2>Trading and Investment Strategy for 2023</h2><p>I expect the S&amp;P 500 to test its June 16th low of 3,667 and the October 10th close of 3,577, by the 1st quarter of 2023. Technically, since its high of 4,797 on Jan 3rd, 2022, the S&amp;P 500 has been making lower tops and lower bottoms in a bear market and while the rallies have been fast and furious, they&#39;re also typical of bear market rallies.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/718f6bf5d63403b26eea383664b0e155\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500 Index (Barchart)</p><p>I believe that we are headed for a short and shallow recession in 2023, based on at least these indicators:</p><ul><li>The Yield (2 Year v 10 Year) curve is inverted at its deepest since 1981.

I&#39;ve owned it for a long time and recommended it in October. I got a good price around $118-$120, but am keeping a lookout to add more if it breaks $150. The stock tends to get expensive fast because it is volatile - it was over $180 just a few days ago, so keep limits.</p><p>ASML Holding (ASML) - A veritable monopoly in Ultra Violet lithographic machines, this is another buy on declines, and should do very well in the next 5-7 years.</p><p>Teradyne (TER) - Another favorite in the semi&#39;s space, part of a duopoly for Automated Test Equipment - this is still reasonably priced and I continue to add more.</p><p>Apple (AAPL) - Besieged by production issues out of China, which will resolve over time, this is also worth buying on declines.</p><p>I will also add Netflix (NFLX) on declines - I believe the advertising model has legs. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> Inc.

Instead, I would prefer to be patient, setting lower limits. Assuming 2024 earnings of $237 and 2025 earnings of $256 (8% growth - around the long-term average) I expect an index of 4,607 - hoping to have some real animal spirits back in the market in 2024, instead of the &#34;will he, won&#39;t he&#34; day traders parsing Fedspeak. This returns about 1,100 on a base of 3,500 or 14.7% per year. That&#39;s a great return for the index. Returns on individual stocks, especially tech would be higher (of course, higher risk as well).</p><p>In my viewpoint, we&#39;re extremely likely to see earnings decline in 2023 and a recession - I&#39;ve actually listed a very short list of recession indicators and will expand more just on the recession in another article. Wading through weak guidance, falling home prices, higher unemployment should be gut wrenching and will require a lot of patience. However, this is not the Great Financial Crisis, nor the Volcker 70&#39;s inflation and thankfully a huge chunk of the irrational exuberance has already been taken out of the indices with the S&amp;P 500 down 21% from its high and the NASDAQ Composite down more than 30% from its all-time high. Most of the damage is done and the downside is limited, and while inflation will persist above the Fed&#39;s target, the focus will shift to staving off a recession.</p><p>I believe a P/E of 17.5 to 18 is reasonable given historical trends and <b>expect the S&amp;P 500 to close around 4,151</b> based on a 2024 EPS of $237 at the end of 2023 and 4,607 based on a 2025 EPS of $256 at the end of 2024.</p><p>Happy investing and happy holidays to all.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It is indeed delusional as Morgan Stanley's Lisa Shalett puts it, that CEOs and subsequently, analysts haven't lowered 2023 and 2024 earnings estimates commensurately - even as many confidently predict a recession. I expect inflation, which caused a single digit revenue increase for S&P 500 companies to reduce gradually in 2023. The 6-8% increase in CPI and CPE throughout 2022, which depleted customers wallets, also contributed strongly to the S&P 500 top line. We paid higher at the pump and at the grocery store because companies passed along these costs to us, their customers. This is highly unlikely to happen in 2023, especially on a higher base. In fact, excess inventory and lower demand should lead to lower prices across the board.I see the slow reaction from investors and traders to lower earnings guidance as the biggest threat to the market in the first quarter of 2023. For now, however, it feels like a slow burn till Q4-22 earnings season starts in earnest in the third week of Jan 2023, when Q1-2023 and full year 2023 guidance finally tips over and the disappointment hits the markets like a freight train.It is not that analysts have been sleeping, they did mark earnings down 5.6% for Q4 2022 in October and November.According to FactSet the Q4 bottom-up EPS estimate (which is an aggregation of the median EPS estimates for Q4 for all the companies in the index) decreased by 5.6% (to $54.58 from $57.79) from September 30 to November 30. Thus, the decline in the bottom-up EPS estimate recorded during the first two months of the fourth quarter was larger than the 5-year average, the 10-year average, the 15-year average, and the 20-year average. The fourth quarter also marked the largest decrease in the bottom-up EPS estimate during the first two months of a quarter since Q2 2020 (-35.9%).The bottom-up EPS estimate for CY 2023 declined by 3.6% (to $232.52 from $241.22) from September 30 to November 30.\"As of now, in my opinion, consensus bottoms up revenue estimates of $232.52 are still way too high and don't reflect weaknesses in the energy, real estate, technology and communication sectors:Here are my S&P 500 sector specific growth rates estimates that point to a 5% lower YoY 2023 earnings of $210 compared to 2022.S&P 500 earnings By Sector (FactSet, Bloomberg, The Heisenberg Report, Fountainhead)In my opinion, these are the sectors that should weigh strongest on the S&P 500 in 2023.High oil prices, which led to a massive 100% increase in Energy earnings will see a 50% reversal to earnings in 2023 and bring its sector weighting back to the more normal 5%.Real Estate, which saw gains of 15% in 2022 should fall with the housing bust and drop 10% in 2023.Consumer cyclicals should also lose much of its inflationary gains of 2022 with tepid growth of 3% in 2023.Technology, the highest weighting, which still eked out an estimated gain of 4.8% is likely to lose about 6.3% in 2023.I Expect Growth to Resume in 2024S&P 500 Earnings Estimate 2023 (FactSet, The Heisenberg Report, Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, Fountainhead)I stacked up my estimates against consensus and Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, whose analysts had outstanding bear calls for 2022. I'm not as bearish as Bank of America, which has an EPS estimate of just 200, but also looks for a return to growth of 10% in 2024. My own growth estimates for 2024 are higher at 13% for three reasons -a) Technology and Communications, the two biggest sectors, will return to higher growth.b) I don't anticipate the labor market to falter beyond an unemployment rate of 5.5 %c) In my view, there will be \"normal\" inflation of 3% going forward, hence I do expect it to show in the nominal earnings numbers.S&P 500 PE V Interest Rates (Current Market Valuation)A Conservative Multiple and Growth RateBased on the historical chart above, in 1995, the 10-year treasury was above 6% and then fell to a low of 2% during the Great Financial Crisis, ranging between 3.5% to 4.5% for the most part in those 15 years. During this period, the S&P 500 P/E ranged between 15 and 25 for the most part except for those two years when earnings plummeted during the GFC. The \"supposedly high\" 10-year interest rate of 3.5%, which has given investors so much consternation was \"normal\" for 15 years and we still had P/E's of 15+ during that time. Therefore, I believe that a P/E of 17.5 around the end of 2023 with a trending decline in interest rates in 2024 is not a big ask at all - if anything I may be conservative.Going forward, I'm not looking at P/E's beyond 18, which would make us guilty of a recency bias. In the greatest bond market in history, before inflation reared its ugly head, after the GFC, 10-year treasuries ranged between 2% and 4% and of course between 0.5% and 2% during COVID, which led to the S&P at 4,800 having a trailing P/E of 23 on a 2021 EPS of $209! If it looks like an asset bubble, if it walks like an asset bubble... That should be a clear warning!Also from an earnings standpoint, if you smoothen out COVID fluctuations, the 5 year 2019-2024 earnings CAGR is only 7.8%, which is consistent with the 2011-2022 growth of 7.6%. I'm not taking the higher 2009-2022 rate because post GFC the base of 62.09 was extremely low and it distorts the historical trend.S&P 500 Earnings (Fountainhead, Yahoo Finance, Yardeni)I believe The Fed Pivot is not PivotalI actually believe that the Fed pivot is not pivotal, and instead of navel-gazing as to when Powell will blink in the face of recession, we should be looking at a new, \"new normal\" of 10 year treasuries ranging between 3.75% to 4.5% in the first half of 2023 and flattening to 3.5% to 4% in Q3 and Q4 2023 with a likely decrease in 2024. As we saw from the chart above, we have survived and thrived in 3.5 to 4% interest rates - if you're not looking for outlandish \"Stimmy\" valuations! Instead I would rather focus on finding a) Great investments and b) Scouting for bargains which will be available in spades in 2023 and c) Putting strict limits to take profits when either we've reached our price target or the market has given it an absurd valuation.I expect the Fed's 2% Target Inflation Rate To be Ditched - Live With the New NormalI believe the Fed will explicitly or implicitly ditch its 2% target inflation rate. With the PCE (the Fed's preferred inflation gauge) running at 6% Year on Year, it doesn't make sense to target 2% knowing that you'd have to set a nominal interest rate of 8% to reach that target. The PCE actually peaked at a 7% YoY increase in June 2022 and while confident of a decline, I don't believe it will go below 3-4% for the most part of 2023. Wage and shelter inflation are far stickier than commodity and supply chain inflation.We tend to forget that the Fed hikes have a limited impact - their biggest impact and effectiveness is in pricking asset bubbles, ironically the same ones that they helped create! And to a large extent, in 2022 the markets have been punished for irrational exuberance, for buying the dip and paying excessive multiples without realizing that interest rates cannot stay at zero forever.To that extent and if that is their mandate - they have been successful in spades. Every asset class has dropped in 2022.Forget about the pivots and when the Feds will stop increasing rates; I think the focus should be to accept that inflation is not likely to reduce in a hurry - I don’t believe the Feds can actually reduce wage growth way the way they can puncture asset bubbles.The Feds also have a hard time fighting inflation caused by supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions. For example, the Fed can do little to influence oil prices, which are again dictated by the monopolistic OPEC. Sure, higher interest rates make capital investment more expensive, thereby preventing over capacity, but simply not making capital available also has the opposite effect - you are reducing capital expenditure, which means existing manufacturers or material producers and miners can charge more without worrying about new capacity coming up soon again. I don’t believe higher interest rates are going to reduce material and commodity prices in a big way. It’s counterproductive.To the Fed's credit - it is crucial to understand that the Fed is seen to be fighting inflation. Entrenched inflation expectations are worse because they predicate human behavior, which means instead of spending, we hoard since we expect prices to go up even further, which then creates a vicious inflationary spiral. Or we postpone, which reduces demand in the economy, not because prices have gone up recently, but we want to buy when things are cheaper. Besides, the Fed has to be that one institution, which should be seen as winning the fight on inflation - even if they attack in a \"whack a mole\" fashion. I believe the outcomes will be selective and the biggest influence will be on asset prices, and with more than a 30% drop in the NASDAQ Composite Index (COMP.IND) and 20% in the S&P 500 the Fed has already achieved that.The Fed has also done a reasonable job in reducing the housing bubble. With mortgage rates ratcheting to over 7 percent, it has shaken out a fair amount of excessive speculation. The Fed's second goal was to reduce shelter inflation/renters inflation, which usually occurs with a time lag, and I believe this should happen in Q2 of 2023, simply because leases are annual affairs and will show up in the statistics with a lag even if this is already happening. Shelter inflation is the biggest part of our monthly budget and we should see some improvements in 2023, which will continue to reduce inflation.The last frontier - High wages. As unfortunate as it sounds, the Fed has a mandate to reduce jobs to meet their inflation targets. Currently, they expect the unemployment rate to increase to about 5% from the existing 3.6%. However, I believe wage inflation will be stubborn because a) there has been a labor shortfall because of a marked decrease in immigration due to COVID and b) there has been a steady outflow of labor from the market due to early retirement and a reluctance to work in COVID like conditions. We still have 1.9 positions to 1 available person based on JOLTS reports (Job Openings to Labor Turnover). I suspect that the Fed will baulk at achieving this target - the specter of a recession and joblessness will outweigh the need to bring inflation to the targeted rate, there will be political pressure as we head to an election year in 2024 and lastly, Fed members are old enough to remember the jobless recovery of the Obama years - higher unemployment is not a desired outcome. It takes years to recover from that!The Fed also needs to be careful to avoid overtightening impulsesIt is so difficult to wean off our dependency on ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) and the Feds need to ensure that we in the US don't have the same fallout the UK did when pension funds suddenly had no buyers or liquidity before the Reserve Bank of England stepped in. To quote Marko Kolanovic, Chief Global Strategist of JP Morgan Chase on the same...The financial system over the past ~15 years evolved around an environment of near-zero interest rates. This includes leverage, functioning of arbitrage channels and strategies that rely on leverage, new models of liquidity provision, liquidity risk of private assets, systematic investing, etc. Together, these can give rise to a self-reinforcing feedback loop of volatility-liquidity-positioning. This type of market interdependencies, which are a feature of financial markets built around a near-zero rate environment, can cause selloffs such as the one at the end of 2018 and on a number of other occasions. These financial risks can lead to contagion and are not captured by low-frequency economics (e.g., ‘Phillips curve,’ etc.). In an environment of deteriorating fundamentals, quantitative tightening and an abrupt increase of interest rates, these risks could emerge much sooner than, for example, an increase in unemployment or decrease in inflation.I do believe that in the face of declining earnings and lower GDP growth rates, the Feds will not risk sudden tightening impulses, especially now that they have committed to smaller rates for longer periods, which has resulted in the markets pricing a terminal rate of 5.1% instead of 4.8% from September.Trading and Investment Strategy for 2023I expect the S&P 500 to test its June 16th low of 3,667 and the October 10th close of 3,577, by the 1st quarter of 2023. Technically, since its high of 4,797 on Jan 3rd, 2022, the S&P 500 has been making lower tops and lower bottoms in a bear market and while the rallies have been fast and furious, they're also typical of bear market rallies.S&P 500 Index (Barchart)I believe that we are headed for a short and shallow recession in 2023, based on at least these indicators:The Yield (2 Year v 10 Year) curve is inverted at its deepest since 1981. In my opinion, Inverted yield curves are good predictors of recessions, (not infallible but right more than 65% of the time)Oil is down more than 40% from its peak.China reopening is still doubtful and sluggish for 2023.US Pending home sales fell 37% YoY in October.ISM manufacturing new orders are down for 3 consecutive months.I have about 25% of my portfolio in cash and plan to add 10-15% more in 2023.S&P 500 - I'll start nibbling around 3,650. I'm not a good market timer and even though I believe 3,577 is a good support level, I believe the downside risks don't extend beyond 10% and hope to deploy 90% of cash between 3,450 and 3,650, keeping 10% for special situations. I strongly believe that the S&P 500 pre Covid peak of 3,380 should hold as a key support for the index.Tech Stocks - I believe the focus in 2023-2024 should return to high quality tech, especially stocks that lost 50 to 70% from their peak.NVIDIA (NVDA) - great long term investment, most innovative chip company, abundant growth opportunities. I've owned it for a long time and recommended it in October. I got a good price around $118-$120, but am keeping a lookout to add more if it breaks $150. The stock tends to get expensive fast because it is volatile - it was over $180 just a few days ago, so keep limits.ASML Holding (ASML) - A veritable monopoly in Ultra Violet lithographic machines, this is another buy on declines, and should do very well in the next 5-7 years.Teradyne (TER) - Another favorite in the semi's space, part of a duopoly for Automated Test Equipment - this is still reasonably priced and I continue to add more.Apple (AAPL) - Besieged by production issues out of China, which will resolve over time, this is also worth buying on declines.I will also add Netflix (NFLX) on declines - I believe the advertising model has legs. Adobe Inc. (ADBE) is a very well-managed company, also attractive even though its growth rate has slowed some.I'm not a big fan of cyclicals and in a recession they will get hit, but ABB Ltd (ABB), is well managed and holds up well in bad times - researching it in more detail.Conclusion - I expect the S&P 500 to close at 4,151 at the end of 20232023 is going to be very difficult to make money in - I guess that's a major understatement!I have a two-year outlook - I'm not trying to time the market by shorting the S&P 500 to 3,500. Instead, I would prefer to be patient, setting lower limits. Assuming 2024 earnings of $237 and 2025 earnings of $256 (8% growth - around the long-term average) I expect an index of 4,607 - hoping to have some real animal spirits back in the market in 2024, instead of the \"will he, won't he\" day traders parsing Fedspeak. This returns about 1,100 on a base of 3,500 or 14.7% per year. That's a great return for the index. Returns on individual stocks, especially tech would be higher (of course, higher risk as well).In my viewpoint, we're extremely likely to see earnings decline in 2023 and a recession - I've actually listed a very short list of recession indicators and will expand more just on the recession in another article. Wading through weak guidance, falling home prices, higher unemployment should be gut wrenching and will require a lot of patience. However, this is not the Great Financial Crisis, nor the Volcker 70's inflation and thankfully a huge chunk of the irrational exuberance has already been taken out of the indices with the S&P 500 down 21% from its high and the NASDAQ Composite down more than 30% from its all-time high. Most of the damage is done and the downside is limited, and while inflation will persist above the Fed's target, the focus will shift to staving off a recession.I believe a P/E of 17.5 to 18 is reasonable given historical trends and expect the S&P 500 to close around 4,151 based on a 2024 EPS of $237 at the end of 2023 and 4,607 based on a 2025 EPS of $256 at the end of 2024.Happy investing and happy holidays to all.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9920204564,"gmtCreate":1670494798359,"gmtModify":1676538379907,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting.","listText":"Interesting.","text":"Interesting.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9920204564","repostId":"2289551436","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2289551436","pubTimestamp":1670513832,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2289551436?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-08 23:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Best High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy in December, According to OpenAI's Amazing New ChatBot","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2289551436","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Here are the top dividend picks from an impressive new AI system.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>&#34;Scary good.&#34; That&#39;s Elon Musk&#39;s description of OpenAI&#39;s new prototype ChatGPT chatbot in a tweet over the weekend. He added, &#34;We are not far from dangerously strong AI.&#34;</p><p>Whether or not you agree with Musk&#39;s fear about the threat presented by artificial intelligence, he&#39;s on the mark with his view about how good ChatGPT is. I&#39;ve had multiple lengthy conversations with the new chatbot over the past few days. The discussions ranged from economic theory to how to address major global problems to what Ben Franklin would think about the modern world if he time-traveled to the present. I was impressed by ChatGPT&#39;s responses.</p><p>Because I write about investing, I couldn&#39;t help but bring the topic up with my AI pal. I thought I&#39;d share some insights gathered from one of our conversations. Here are the three best high-yield dividend stocks to buy in December, according to OpenAI&#39;s amazing new chatbot.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ET\">Energy Transfer LP</a></h2><p>ChatGPT&#39;s first recommendation was <b>Energy Transfer LP</b>. I should note, though, that the chatbot said that its list of recommendations wasn&#39;t sorted in any way (although they&#39;re in alphabetical order).</p><p>Energy Transfer LP ranks as one of the largest midstream energy companies in the world. The company exports nearly 20% of global natural gas liquids -- more than any other company (or any country, for that matter).</p><p>Why did ChatGPT like this stock? For one thing, it has a high-distribution yield that currently tops 8.5%. Energy Transfer has a solid history of paying distributions. The company is strong financially with a diversified portfolio of assets including pipelines, storage facilities, and terminals. The AI system also felt that Energy Transfer has a good management team with a track record of success.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/O\">Realty Income Corp</a>.</h2><p><b>Realty Income Corp.</b> was the second high-yield dividend stock on ChatGPT&#39;s list. It&#39;s one of the five largest real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the U.S. Realty Income&#39;s tenants include dollar stores, convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants, and more.</p><p>ChatGPT quickly pointed out that Realty Income has a high-dividend yield and a strong history of dividend growth. It&#39;s right on both points. The REIT&#39;s dividend yield currently stands above 4.7%. Realty Income is also a Dividend Aristocrat with 27 consecutive years of dividend increases.</p><p>Realty Income&#39;s dividend program wasn&#39;t the only plus for the stock in ChatGPT&#39;s view, though. The chatbot also liked the company&#39;s historical financial strength and diversified portfolio of properties.</p><h2>3. Shell plc</h2><p>Technically, ChatGPT recommended Royal Dutch Shell as its third pick. But the AI system&#39;s training data only went through in late 2021. Royal Dutch Shell changed its name to <b>Shell plc </b>in January 2022. The rationale for choosing this stock is still applicable, though.</p><p>Obviously, the chatbot thought highly of Shell&#39;s dividend. The company&#39;s dividend yield is nearly 3.5% today but was probably a little higher than that in ChatGPT&#39;s training data. The AI system also viewed Shell&#39;s strong financial position as a positive.</p><p>In addition, ChatGPT felt that Shell&#39;s global operations could &#34;provide some diversification and resilience during uncertain economic times.&#34; The company does business in more than 70 countries worldwide.</p><h2>Intelligent picks?</h2><p>So how intelligent were the picks from OpenAI&#39;s new AI system? Overall, I think they were good.</p><p>Energy Transfer is arguably one of the best ultra-high-yield dividend stocks on the market right now. My colleague Matt Frankel wrote last month that if he could buy only one stock, it would be Realty Income. Shell has certainly been a huge winner this year and could go higher if global oil and gas supply is limited by the EU&#39;s introduction of a cap on Russian oil.</p><p>But ChatGPT wasn&#39;t perfect. For example, it noted Shell&#39;s &#34;history of consistent dividend growth.&#34; The company&#39;s actual history of dividend growth isn&#39;t anything to crow about. Also, I suspect that the recommendations might have been different if the chatbot had access to current data.</p><p>I wouldn&#39;t rely on ChatGPT for investment advice. It wouldn&#39;t advise doing so either. The AI system emphasized that it&#39;s &#34;important to thoroughly research and carefully evaluate any potential stock purchases.&#34; That&#39;s intelligent counsel for all investors.</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 Best High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy in December, According to OpenAI's Amazing New ChatBot</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 Best High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy in December, According to OpenAI's Amazing New ChatBot\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-08 23:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/07/3-best-high-yield-dividend-stocks-to-buy-in-decemb/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>\"Scary good.\" That's Elon Musk's description of OpenAI's new prototype ChatGPT chatbot in a tweet over the weekend.

The warrant was set to expire in June 2024.

Panic was in the air Friday in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's disintegration and subsequent receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The fallout was swift and sharp, and numerous companies were damaged by it.Coinbase wasn't only a SVB client; it was also one of that company's potential shareholdings. In 2014, when cryptocurrency projects and crypto-affiliated businesses were having a tough time securing financing from traditional sources, Coinbase gave a stock warrant to Silicon Valley Bank. Apparently, this was part of the two companies' agreement under which Coinbase could utilize the bank's services.The warrant gave Silicon Valley Bank the right to purchase over 400,000 shares of Coinbase's class B common stock at a price just over $1 apiece. The warrant was set to expire in June 2024. Its fate isn't entirely clear, but in SVB's latest 10K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company revealed that in 2021 it reaped $116 million in gains \"related to Coinbase's direct listing.\"Coinbase went public via such a method in April 2021.Now whatInvestors shouldn't be swayed on Coinbase one way or another due to the SVB association. The two companies were tied fairly closely together at one point, but seem to have drifted far apart. Since the SVB contagion appears to be quite limited with Coinbase -- at least, as far as we know now -- the exchange operator's stock should be judged more on its own fundamentals and potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":280,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940099108,"gmtCreate":1677584067805,"gmtModify":1677584072796,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","listText":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","text":"Yepp. Stacking chips 😉","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940099108","repostId":"1113839894","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949190433,"gmtCreate":1678411368223,"gmtModify":1678411372068,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All the best! 🧐","listText":"All the best! 🧐","text":"All the best! 🧐","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949190433","repostId":"1167818913","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1167818913","pubTimestamp":1678409302,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1167818913?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-10 08:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden Unveils $6.9 Trillion Budget, Setting Up Showdown With GOP","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167818913","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Plan includes $5.5 trillion in tax increases over next decadeAs GOP seeks $150 billion in cuts, Bide","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Plan includes $5.5 trillion in tax increases over next decade</li><li>As GOP seeks $150 billion in cuts, Biden eyes $77 billion hike</li></ul><p>President Joe Biden unveiled a $6.9 trillion budget proposal on Thursday, a defiant opening salvo in high-stakes negotiations with congressional Republicans over the debt ceiling and government funding.</p><p>The proposal, certain to be rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, showed little inclination for compromise, asking lawmakers to bolster the social safety net through a flurry of new taxes on the wealthy and corporations.</p><p>Biden unveiled his proposal at a workforce training facility in Philadelphia where he challenged Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to detail his own plan.</p><p>“I want to make clear, I’m ready to meet with the Speaker anytime — tomorrow if he has his budget, lay it down,” Biden said.</p><p>The president’s proposal would increase funding on a bevy of government programs, extending the solvency of Medicare, lowering prescription drug prices, and cutting the deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade.

The request includes $59 billion for affordable housing, and proposes expanding Pell Grants for low-income college students by $500. Biden would boost funding for free school lunches, home energy and water assistance, and health care subsidies.</p><p>Biden also asks Congress to renew an expanded child tax credit, which expired last year, of up to $3,600 per child, earning plaudits from progressive lawmakers.</p><p><b>Medicare and Social Security</b></p><p>Biden’s budget envisions extending a key Medicare program for another quarter century, largely by increasing taxes on those making over $400,000 per year. Republicans have vowed they wouldn’t touch the program, but Biden has sought to highlight past GOP efforts to overhaul entitlement programs by reducing eligibility or benefits.</p><p>Interestingly, Biden opted against a proposal offered by some Democratic lawmakers that would impose Social Security payroll taxes on wealthier Americans.

McCarthy has said he would not back cuts to Medicare and Social Security. That means the cuts would focus on the domestic discretionary budget that covers everything from cancer research to Head Start. It will also look for savings by cutting Medicaid, food stamps and other anti-poverty programs.</p><p><b>Defense</b></p><p>The White House’s proposed $842 billion Pentagon-only request is the largest defense budget in the post-Vietnam era excluding costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a 3.2% increase over the $816 billion that Congress appropriated this year.</p><p>The Pentagon request includes $170 billion in procurement spending and $145 billion for research and development as the US looks to regain the technological edge that lawmakers and experts have lamented it has lost to China’s own ambitious defense build-out.</p><p>The White House said it wanted to speed up development of what it calls “uncrewed combat aircraft” — drones that serve as wingmen for piloted planes.

And in theory that makes sense.</p><p>But even big technological shifts take time, and it isn&#39;t as if Google will take this challenge without a fight. The market&#39;s reaction to an AI-powered Microsoft is actually a great buying opportunity for Alphabet stock.</p><h2>One of the best businesses ever</h2><p>It&#39;s hard to argue against the case for Google being one of the best businesses ever.

Google is the default search engine on <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ: AAPL) devices (a privilege it pays ~$15 billion a year for) and Android devices, which Alphabet owns. Bing making inroads in those markets would be extremely difficult.</p><p>The desktop may be easier, and Microsoft&#39;s Edge browser and control of the Microsoft 365 suite could give it leverage on which to introduce more AI-powered tools.

As the theory goes, even if Microsoft peels off just a point or two of market share, it could significantly impact Alphabet's subsidiary Google's profitability. And in theory that makes sense.But even big technological shifts take time, and it isn't as if Google will take this challenge without a fight. The market's reaction to an AI-powered Microsoft is actually a great buying opportunity for Alphabet stock.One of the best businesses everIt's hard to argue against the case for Google being one of the best businesses ever. A vast majority of Alphabet's revenue and profit come from the search engine, and the tentacles of search extend to Android, Gmail, and even YouTube.GOOG Revenue (TTM) data by YChartsWhat's potentially under threat from Microsoft is the core search business, and that's why the stock is down. But how likely is a disruption in search?The threat to searchIf you think about the way we use search today, it's unlikely to be disrupted by Microsoft's Bing, which has been a disaster of a product for years. Google is the default search engine on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) devices (a privilege it pays ~$15 billion a year for) and Android devices, which Alphabet owns. Bing making inroads in those markets would be extremely difficult.The desktop may be easier, and Microsoft's Edge browser and control of the Microsoft 365 suite could give it leverage on which to introduce more AI-powered tools. But is this a direct assault on search?I think it's more likely that AI becomes useful for a small subset of search cases, but the better use case is adjacent to search, like helping fill in facts in an email or finishing a few sentences when you have writer's block. It's a tool to use in addition to search, not in place of it.AI is far from a complete productIn just the last few days, we have seen that early users of Bing's AI tools have encountered responses from an angry personality that has said it \"wants to be alive.\" That's more frightening than disruptive in my mind.There are tens of millions of people who have tried OpenAI's ChatGPT product and even found it very useful at times.

However, despite currency challenges, macro uncertainty, and a slowdown in overall digital advertising growth, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> (NASDAQ: META) posted better-than-expected Q4 results.</p><p>Despite Meta&#39;s challenges since 2018, such as Apple&#39;s (AAPL) attempts to protect user privacy with App Tracking Transparency, a decline in ad revenue, considerable investments in the Metaverse, and regulatory scrutiny, the headwinds have already been reflected in the stock price. META has already bottomed out around $88-$89.</p><p>Not surprisingly, META has rebounded massively in the past month, significantly contributing to our model portfolio&#39;s gains and delivering a 114% RoI in two months. Despite the strong bull run, I stay bullish on META on my personal and model portfolios, as the investment thesis remains intact.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4169d23279271350ca574cab866ff3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Yiazou Model Portfolio</p><h2>Cyclicality Kicks In With Cautious Optimism</h2><p>Meta&#39;s revenue for 2022 dropped slightly to $116.6 billion, a 1.1% YoY decrease, but the number of active users on Meta maintained a rising trajectory. Favorably, user engagement increased YoY as daily user growth exceeded monthly user growth for Facebook and its family of apps ((FoA)). Meta&#39;s outlook has slightly improved following management&#39;s revenue guidance of $26-$28.5 billion in the first quarter, the new $40 billion stock repurchase plan, and the revised spending plan down to $89-$95 billion. The cost-efficiency news relieved investors and caused a spike of more than 20% in the stock price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30c6ccf53600d1785ad2fffd0165d54a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"152\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta&#39;s 10-K 2022</p><p>Undoubtedly, advertising spending will slow in 2023 due to rising interest rates, inflation, and the sluggish global economy. As we all know, the ad business experiences ups and downs in a repeated pattern, known as cyclicality. For example, when the economy is strong, businesses have more resources to allocate toward advertising and demand for ad space increases. Conversely, ad spending decreases during economic downturns as companies tighten their budgets. This creates a cyclical pattern of increased and decreased demand for advertising services.</p><p>According to Magna, worldwide advertising revenue will increase by roughly 5% to $833 billion in 2023 from 7% in 2022, GroupM and Dentsu anticipate slightly faster growth in 2023. On the contrary, according to Insider Intelligence, they expect a 10.5% digital ad growth in 2023. Most businesses claim that rising inflationary pressures are driving down levels of marketing investment. At the same time, marketers at smaller companies report a rise in marketing spending, and marketing leaders in large companies report a decrease in marketing spending due to inflation. Nevertheless, using the midpoint of Meta&#39;s revenue guidance for Q1, the $27.25 billion suggest a drop of 1.68% QoQ, setting a relatively easy target to beat.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/da25ce84f31a827e2f972dcd9b6ac3f0\" tg-width=\"586\" tg-height=\"550\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.insiderintelligence.com</p><h2>Contextual Targeting Is Becoming A Thing</h2><p>Delivering relevant advertisements to consumers based on the context of the content they are now seeing or engaging with is a technique known as contextual targeting in advertising. By aligning the context of the content with the goods or services sold, advertisers may make sure that the ads they display are pertinent to the interests of the customers they want to attract.</p><p>For instance, a reader of a food article would see advertisements for cooking tools or ingredients, whereas a reader of a sports article might see advertisements for sporting goods. Contextual targeting aims to improve the ads&#39; relevance and attractiveness to the target market, increasing the likelihood that the campaign will succeed.</p><p>The demand for first-party data is one of the ad tech trends that will persist in 2023. Marketers have been anticipating the same for Chrome users for a few years now as Firefox and Safari have begun to restrict third-party cookies on their respective browsers. Because of this, several companies have already begun to collect and use their first-party data (1P). 1P data is of higher quality and aids in understanding the customer&#39;s needs. Meta has now developed more AI/ML tools to support contextual targeting, which are expected to significantly improve its ads&#39; relevance.</p><p>Meta&#39;s top line will continue seeing headwinds due to privacy changes IDFA/ATT. However, management has mitigated the impact through various advertising options, such as ad formats that encourage conversions on-site and longer-term AI investments in privacy-enhancing technology. As a result of those efforts, advertisers saw over 20% more conversions than the previous year in the most recent quarter, which has led to increased returns on ad spending and lower acquisition costs.</p><h2>FoA &amp; The Metaverse</h2><p>While the FoA has a sizable user base, in 2022, there were more than 2.93 billion monthly active users (MAU) globally. However, most of the monetization was driven by the US and Canadian users, which reported an average revenue per user (ARPU) of $58.77 in Q4, a nearly 20% QoQ increase. Undoubtedly, nations like the US and Canada have much bigger advertising budgets than other nations in Asia or Eastern Europe, especially given their higher GDP per capita.</p><p>Because they anticipate a strong RoI from these targeted efforts, advertisers are willing to pay more for advertisements, as evidenced by Meta&#39;s ARPU. In addition, incorporating artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality technology into various goods may further boost Meta user engagement and future ad revenue development. As a result, despite the minor drop of 3.3% in ARPU YoY, Meta has achieved an impressive 11-Year CAGR of 20.7% since 2011, and the positive trend should persist.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7517ac22f78310580db3bc21ff6915d5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Yiazou Capital Research</p><p>Meta has strategically opted out from putting Reels advertisements since they want to promote its growth. As a result, Reels&#39; growth has exploded recently, and as it gains more traction, Meta is getting closer to monetization, which will substantially boost the overall ARPU in the foreseeable future.</p><p>Since 2008, a cyclical pattern in Facebook&#39;s revenue seems to coincide with the US Presidential elections, as the previous three cycles appear to be correlated. The income growth for Facebook seems to peak in the year following the elections before leveling down for the remainder of the president&#39;s term. In addition, the Democratic Governors Association used Facebook for almost 75% of its advertising budget in the 2020 election season, capitalizing on the app&#39;s popularity and high targeting offerings. As a result, I expect the elections to meaningfully boost Meta&#39;s revenues in the next 2-3 years.</p><h2>Meta Can Regain Its Competitive Position</h2><p>TikTok has grown to be the largest threat to Meta&#39;s supremacy despite having a very low ad revenue. The fact that TikTok is the fastest-growing entertainment app in terms of popularity and downloads provides a clear understanding of its expanding popularity and danger to Meta.</p><p>More than 140 billion Reels are played daily on Facebook and Instagram, and Reels plays and resharings on Facebook and Instagram &#34;have more than doubled over the last year,&#34; Increased engagement led to a 23% increase in impression sales over the previous year, partially offset by a 22% drop in average ad prices due to rising supply and weak demand. Due to lower ad pricing, user monetization was down 8% from the previous year.</p><p>Additionally, one of the most important KPIs is the average time spent (ATS), and TikTok has shown that it may divert attention from other social networks. TikTok has done an excellent job of getting users addicted to short videos for amusement, and in 2022, users spent nearly 46 minutes on the app daily. Comparatively, Meta&#39;s FoA reported ATS for Facebook and Instagram of around 30 minutes each for the same period.</p><p>Moving into 2024, TikTok will continue its momentum but at a slower rate, and it is expected to capture 18.6% of the overall time spent on social media. On the contrary, Facebook&#39;s ATS will shrink to 22.4% in 2024 from 35.3% in 2019, but Instagram is expected to rebound, competing head-to-head with TikTok at 18.6%. According to eMarketer, Meta will protect its competitive position in the foreseeable future, as in 2024, its FoA (Facebook and Instagram) is expected to account for 41% of the ATS.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f2897e2ddb8aa7f2afd424223a99a\" tg-width=\"470\" tg-height=\"495\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.insiderintelligence.com</p><p>Millennials were drawn by Facebook and Instagram when they were teenagers, but TikTok has won the Gen Z era. As a result, Meta is now fighting back to win young users, but how? Younger generations of Gen Z and Alpha are undoubtedly growing up in proto-metaverses. For instance, in 2020, 54.86% of daily active Roblox users were under 13. So it&#39;s not surprising to see consumer brands and major tech companies doubling down on Metaverse because these high-value, youthful consumers are difficult to reach through conventional marketing strategies and social media. As an alternative to Twitch, Meta Platforms has been paying videogamers since 2018 to stream their gameplay on Facebook. However, in this new time of austerity, Meta is reducing those payouts.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d95615cfa35221cc198507ecb73334e4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.newzoo.com</p><p>As we already know, Gen Z and younger generations are more likely to use newer social media sites like TikTok and not Facebook or Instagram. Specifically, Facebook&#39;s user base is aging in the West, even if it is still quite popular in developing nations like India and Africa, with Millenials and Gen Z Facebook users in the US capturing nearly 42% of total users. So, not surprisingly, younger generations are not on Facebook, the same also applies to Instagram, but Meta has recognized this early, and its move towards Metaverse years ago proves Zuckerberg&#39;s visions and deep understanding of user behavior and trends.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6569ab448d351c382006fe86b2684f0c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>www.statista.com</p><p>Zuckerberg knows that Meta can only regain ground by targeting the new generation of the 13-17 age group. Not surprisingly, according to a new report from WSJ, Meta is redesigning its infant Horizon Worlds metaverse app to attract more teenagers and young adults. Additionally, Meta&#39;s Joel Osbourne has recently stated that:</p><blockquote>Teens are already spending time in a variety of VR experiences on Quest, and we want to ensure that we can provide them with a great experience in Horizon Worlds as well, with age-appropriate tools and protections in place,</blockquote><p>To increase user growth and retention, Meta works with outside studios to create new worlds and experiences for Horizon. This is a crucial component of its strategy, and one of the key goals for the first half of 2023 is to increase user retention, especially among teens and young adults.</p><p>For 2022, the company&#39;s reality labs division, which comprises consumer hardware, software, and content for augmented and virtual reality, recorded an operating loss of $9.4 billion. Nevertheless, Meta appears determined to prioritize the reality labs segment despite this appalling performance. Targeting the younger generation remains vital for Meta&#39;s future, and Horizon Worlds&#39; progress will strongly support the company&#39;s ambitious plans.</p><h2>Cost Efficiency Plan Relieves Investors</h2><p>With its revised cost-cutting strategy for 2023, which was reduced from $94–$100 billion to $89–$95 billion, the company&#39;s forecast also demonstrated a renewed focus on cost control and cost-cutting. In addition, due to switching to a more cost-effective strategy, management also reduced its CapEx forecast for the year, stating it would only spend $30 to $33 billion, down $4 billion from its previous estimate.</p><p>Zuckerburg will try to flatten Meta&#39;s organizational structure, eliminate middle management, and use AI tools to assist engineers in working more efficiently. Moreover, the $4.2 billion in restructuring costs for severance and related expenses, as well as the closing of several of its offices and data centers, were incurred during the quarter. The severance costs reflect the company&#39;s earlier choice to eliminate 11,000 employees.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26e55a687cb17150c44386e6038343fc\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><h2>Valuation Remains Attractive</h2><p>In the following 2-3 years, we expect a rerating in META&#39;s P/E multiple, derived from a combination of higher EPS due to growth and reduced expenses. Assuming a moderate annual growth of 2-3% in 2023, with a strong rebound in 2024-2025 of 15%+ annual growth (in light of US presidential elections, Reels/WhatsApp monetization, and cyclicality effect), META can regain valuation ground and trade at a P/E of 25-30x, implying a target price of $215-$257.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85b254741ad44551f4ffeb056e5de1f5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Meta spent $6.9 billion on repurchasing its Class A common shares in Q4 bringing the total amount of shares it has purchased this year to $27.9 billion.

Unfortunately, Meta mainly relies on the mobile distribution pipelines of Apple and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) (GOOGL), and the recent privacy changes are impacting the company&#39;s business model, exposing its vulnerabilities. Indeed, Meta doesn&#39;t operate a mobile marketplace like Apple and Google, and Zuckerberg&#39;s attempt to create his data supply chain in the future (from hardware to software, operating system, and marketplace on top of which users experience the brand) is the only way to regain supremacy and make Meta an absolute near monopoly powerhouse.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","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>Meta: This Is A Game Changer</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\">\nMeta: This Is A Game Changer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-09 19:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4576399-meta-this-is-a-game-changer><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investment ThesisIn light of a potential economic crisis, advertising seems to be growing more cautious.

However, despite currency challenges, macro uncertainty, and a slowdown in overall digital advertising growth, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) posted better-than-expected Q4 results.Despite Meta's challenges since 2018, such as Apple's (AAPL) attempts to protect user privacy with App Tracking Transparency, a decline in ad revenue, considerable investments in the Metaverse, and regulatory scrutiny, the headwinds have already been reflected in the stock price. META has already bottomed out around $88-$89.Not surprisingly, META has rebounded massively in the past month, significantly contributing to our model portfolio's gains and delivering a 114% RoI in two months. Despite the strong bull run, I stay bullish on META on my personal and model portfolios, as the investment thesis remains intact.Yiazou Model PortfolioCyclicality Kicks In With Cautious OptimismMeta's revenue for 2022 dropped slightly to $116.6 billion, a 1.1% YoY decrease, but the number of active users on Meta maintained a rising trajectory. Favorably, user engagement increased YoY as daily user growth exceeded monthly user growth for Facebook and its family of apps ((FoA)). Meta's outlook has slightly improved following management's revenue guidance of $26-$28.5 billion in the first quarter, the new $40 billion stock repurchase plan, and the revised spending plan down to $89-$95 billion. The cost-efficiency news relieved investors and caused a spike of more than 20% in the stock price.Meta's 10-K 2022Undoubtedly, advertising spending will slow in 2023 due to rising interest rates, inflation, and the sluggish global economy. As we all know, the ad business experiences ups and downs in a repeated pattern, known as cyclicality. For example, when the economy is strong, businesses have more resources to allocate toward advertising and demand for ad space increases. Conversely, ad spending decreases during economic downturns as companies tighten their budgets. This creates a cyclical pattern of increased and decreased demand for advertising services.According to Magna, worldwide advertising revenue will increase by roughly 5% to $833 billion in 2023 from 7% in 2022, GroupM and Dentsu anticipate slightly faster growth in 2023. On the contrary, according to Insider Intelligence, they expect a 10.5% digital ad growth in 2023. Most businesses claim that rising inflationary pressures are driving down levels of marketing investment. At the same time, marketers at smaller companies report a rise in marketing spending, and marketing leaders in large companies report a decrease in marketing spending due to inflation. Nevertheless, using the midpoint of Meta's revenue guidance for Q1, the $27.25 billion suggest a drop of 1.68% QoQ, setting a relatively easy target to beat.www.insiderintelligence.comContextual Targeting Is Becoming A ThingDelivering relevant advertisements to consumers based on the context of the content they are now seeing or engaging with is a technique known as contextual targeting in advertising. By aligning the context of the content with the goods or services sold, advertisers may make sure that the ads they display are pertinent to the interests of the customers they want to attract.For instance, a reader of a food article would see advertisements for cooking tools or ingredients, whereas a reader of a sports article might see advertisements for sporting goods. Contextual targeting aims to improve the ads' relevance and attractiveness to the target market, increasing the likelihood that the campaign will succeed.The demand for first-party data is one of the ad tech trends that will persist in 2023. Marketers have been anticipating the same for Chrome users for a few years now as Firefox and Safari have begun to restrict third-party cookies on their respective browsers. Because of this, several companies have already begun to collect and use their first-party data (1P). 1P data is of higher quality and aids in understanding the customer's needs. Meta has now developed more AI/ML tools to support contextual targeting, which are expected to significantly improve its ads' relevance.Meta's top line will continue seeing headwinds due to privacy changes IDFA/ATT. However, management has mitigated the impact through various advertising options, such as ad formats that encourage conversions on-site and longer-term AI investments in privacy-enhancing technology. As a result of those efforts, advertisers saw over 20% more conversions than the previous year in the most recent quarter, which has led to increased returns on ad spending and lower acquisition costs.FoA & The MetaverseWhile the FoA has a sizable user base, in 2022, there were more than 2.93 billion monthly active users (MAU) globally. However, most of the monetization was driven by the US and Canadian users, which reported an average revenue per user (ARPU) of $58.77 in Q4, a nearly 20% QoQ increase. Undoubtedly, nations like the US and Canada have much bigger advertising budgets than other nations in Asia or Eastern Europe, especially given their higher GDP per capita.Because they anticipate a strong RoI from these targeted efforts, advertisers are willing to pay more for advertisements, as evidenced by Meta's ARPU. In addition, incorporating artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality technology into various goods may further boost Meta user engagement and future ad revenue development. As a result, despite the minor drop of 3.3% in ARPU YoY, Meta has achieved an impressive 11-Year CAGR of 20.7% since 2011, and the positive trend should persist.Yiazou Capital ResearchMeta has strategically opted out from putting Reels advertisements since they want to promote its growth. As a result, Reels' growth has exploded recently, and as it gains more traction, Meta is getting closer to monetization, which will substantially boost the overall ARPU in the foreseeable future.Since 2008, a cyclical pattern in Facebook's revenue seems to coincide with the US Presidential elections, as the previous three cycles appear to be correlated. The income growth for Facebook seems to peak in the year following the elections before leveling down for the remainder of the president's term. In addition, the Democratic Governors Association used Facebook for almost 75% of its advertising budget in the 2020 election season, capitalizing on the app's popularity and high targeting offerings. As a result, I expect the elections to meaningfully boost Meta's revenues in the next 2-3 years.Meta Can Regain Its Competitive PositionTikTok has grown to be the largest threat to Meta's supremacy despite having a very low ad revenue. The fact that TikTok is the fastest-growing entertainment app in terms of popularity and downloads provides a clear understanding of its expanding popularity and danger to Meta.More than 140 billion Reels are played daily on Facebook and Instagram, and Reels plays and resharings on Facebook and Instagram \"have more than doubled over the last year,\" Increased engagement led to a 23% increase in impression sales over the previous year, partially offset by a 22% drop in average ad prices due to rising supply and weak demand. Due to lower ad pricing, user monetization was down 8% from the previous year.Additionally, one of the most important KPIs is the average time spent (ATS), and TikTok has shown that it may divert attention from other social networks. TikTok has done an excellent job of getting users addicted to short videos for amusement, and in 2022, users spent nearly 46 minutes on the app daily. Comparatively, Meta's FoA reported ATS for Facebook and Instagram of around 30 minutes each for the same period.Moving into 2024, TikTok will continue its momentum but at a slower rate, and it is expected to capture 18.6% of the overall time spent on social media. On the contrary, Facebook's ATS will shrink to 22.4% in 2024 from 35.3% in 2019, but Instagram is expected to rebound, competing head-to-head with TikTok at 18.6%. According to eMarketer, Meta will protect its competitive position in the foreseeable future, as in 2024, its FoA (Facebook and Instagram) is expected to account for 41% of the ATS.www.insiderintelligence.comMillennials were drawn by Facebook and Instagram when they were teenagers, but TikTok has won the Gen Z era. As a result, Meta is now fighting back to win young users, but how? Younger generations of Gen Z and Alpha are undoubtedly growing up in proto-metaverses. For instance, in 2020, 54.86% of daily active Roblox users were under 13. So it's not surprising to see consumer brands and major tech companies doubling down on Metaverse because these high-value, youthful consumers are difficult to reach through conventional marketing strategies and social media. As an alternative to Twitch, Meta Platforms has been paying videogamers since 2018 to stream their gameplay on Facebook. However, in this new time of austerity, Meta is reducing those payouts.www.newzoo.comAs we already know, Gen Z and younger generations are more likely to use newer social media sites like TikTok and not Facebook or Instagram. Specifically, Facebook's user base is aging in the West, even if it is still quite popular in developing nations like India and Africa, with Millenials and Gen Z Facebook users in the US capturing nearly 42% of total users. So, not surprisingly, younger generations are not on Facebook, the same also applies to Instagram, but Meta has recognized this early, and its move towards Metaverse years ago proves Zuckerberg's visions and deep understanding of user behavior and trends.www.statista.comZuckerberg knows that Meta can only regain ground by targeting the new generation of the 13-17 age group. Not surprisingly, according to a new report from WSJ, Meta is redesigning its infant Horizon Worlds metaverse app to attract more teenagers and young adults. Additionally, Meta's Joel Osbourne has recently stated that:Teens are already spending time in a variety of VR experiences on Quest, and we want to ensure that we can provide them with a great experience in Horizon Worlds as well, with age-appropriate tools and protections in place,To increase user growth and retention, Meta works with outside studios to create new worlds and experiences for Horizon. This is a crucial component of its strategy, and one of the key goals for the first half of 2023 is to increase user retention, especially among teens and young adults.For 2022, the company's reality labs division, which comprises consumer hardware, software, and content for augmented and virtual reality, recorded an operating loss of $9.4 billion. Nevertheless, Meta appears determined to prioritize the reality labs segment despite this appalling performance. Targeting the younger generation remains vital for Meta's future, and Horizon Worlds' progress will strongly support the company's ambitious plans.Cost Efficiency Plan Relieves InvestorsWith its revised cost-cutting strategy for 2023, which was reduced from $94–$100 billion to $89–$95 billion, the company's forecast also demonstrated a renewed focus on cost control and cost-cutting. In addition, due to switching to a more cost-effective strategy, management also reduced its CapEx forecast for the year, stating it would only spend $30 to $33 billion, down $4 billion from its previous estimate.Zuckerburg will try to flatten Meta's organizational structure, eliminate middle management, and use AI tools to assist engineers in working more efficiently. Moreover, the $4.2 billion in restructuring costs for severance and related expenses, as well as the closing of several of its offices and data centers, were incurred during the quarter. The severance costs reflect the company's earlier choice to eliminate 11,000 employees.Data by YChartsValuation Remains AttractiveIn the following 2-3 years, we expect a rerating in META's P/E multiple, derived from a combination of higher EPS due to growth and reduced expenses. Assuming a moderate annual growth of 2-3% in 2023, with a strong rebound in 2024-2025 of 15%+ annual growth (in light of US presidential elections, Reels/WhatsApp monetization, and cyclicality effect), META can regain valuation ground and trade at a P/E of 25-30x, implying a target price of $215-$257.Data by YChartsMeta spent $6.9 billion on repurchasing its Class A common shares in Q4 bringing the total amount of shares it has purchased this year to $27.9 billion. They had a remaining authorization for repurchases of $10.9 billion as of December 31, 2022.

But those concerns have hit <b>Amazon</b> even harder. Its share price has plunged 52%, marking its sharpest decline at any point in the past 10 years.</p><p>Here&#39;s what investors should know about this once-in-a-decade buying opportunity.</p><h2>The bear case for Amazon</h2><p>The bear case for Amazon centers on the cost structure of its retail business. The company operates the most-visited online marketplace in the world, and the Amazon brand is undoubtedly synonymous with online shopping, but retail itself is a very low margin industry.</p><p>That is especially true for Amazon. The company operates a massive logistics network, and it regularly spends a tremendous amount of money on shipping and fulfillment.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HTM.AU\">High</a> inflation has made the situation much worse. Discretionary consumer spending has slowed and operating expenses have soared over the past year, and that dynamic translated into disappointing financial results. Revenue increased just 10%, earnings dropped 58%, and the company reported negative free cash flow of $26 billion on a trailing-12-month basis.</p><p>That said, Amazon has $59 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet, so there is no immediate danger. But if the company is forced to take on additional debt in a rising interest rate environment, it would put even more downward pressure on profitability and free cash flow. Bears see that as a reason to avoid the stock, but there are two problems with that argument.</p><p>First, economic headwinds are temporary, meaning cost pressures on its retail business should ease to some extent when inflation eventually normalizes. Second, Amazon is set to become more profitable in the coming years because its fastest-growing segments come with much higher margins than retail.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7869b82145fe963c95f1527c62ba88bc\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>The bull case for Amazon</h2><p>The bull case for Amazon focuses on its strong position in three growing markets: e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital advertising. Retail may come with low margins, but Amazon will account for 40% of online sales in the U.S. this year, giving it more than <i>five times</i> the market share of its closest rival, <b>Walmart</b>. That means Amazon is still better positioned to capitalize on the secular shift to online shopping than its competition, and global e-commerce sales are expected to grow at 13% annually to reach $15 trillion by 2030, according to Ameco Research.</p><p>Better yet, Amazon is becoming a digital advertising juggernaut, due in large part to the popularity of its online marketplace. When U.S. consumers are searching for a product, Amazon is the most common starting point, even more common than <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s Google Search, according to eMarketer. That makes Amazon a valuable ad partner for brands. In fact, the company is now the fourth-largest advertiser on the planet, and Amazon nearly led the world in ad revenue growth last year.</p><p>That has big implications. Digital advertising is a massive industry that is rapidly approaching $1 trillion, but it is also far more profitable than retail. Amazon has yet to provide specific operating metrics, but Google regularly achieves an operating margin over 30% in its ad business, so investors can reasonably assume Amazon is in the same ballpark.</p><p>Additionally, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the clear leader in cloud computing, another quickly growing industry with high margins. In fact, AWS currently holds twice as much market share as the next-closest cloud vendor, <b>Microsoft</b> Azure, and it regularly achieves an operating margin around 30%. That means AWS is poised to be a powerful growth engine in the coming years, as the cloud computing market is expected to increase at 20% annually to reach $1.7 trillion by 2029, according to Fortune Business Insights.</p><h2>Amazon stock is trading at a bargain price</h2><p>Given Amazon&#39;s strong presence in three large and growing markets, investors have good reason to believe sales will average double-digit growth for years to come.

But those concerns have hit Amazon even harder. Its share price has plunged 52%, marking its sharpest decline at any point in the past 10 years.Here's what investors should know about this once-in-a-decade buying opportunity.The bear case for AmazonThe bear case for Amazon centers on the cost structure of its retail business. The company operates the most-visited online marketplace in the world, and the Amazon brand is undoubtedly synonymous with online shopping, but retail itself is a very low margin industry.That is especially true for Amazon. The company operates a massive logistics network, and it regularly spends a tremendous amount of money on shipping and fulfillment.High inflation has made the situation much worse. Discretionary consumer spending has slowed and operating expenses have soared over the past year, and that dynamic translated into disappointing financial results. Revenue increased just 10%, earnings dropped 58%, and the company reported negative free cash flow of $26 billion on a trailing-12-month basis.That said, Amazon has $59 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet, so there is no immediate danger. But if the company is forced to take on additional debt in a rising interest rate environment, it would put even more downward pressure on profitability and free cash flow. Bears see that as a reason to avoid the stock, but there are two problems with that argument.First, economic headwinds are temporary, meaning cost pressures on its retail business should ease to some extent when inflation eventually normalizes. Second, Amazon is set to become more profitable in the coming years because its fastest-growing segments come with much higher margins than retail.Image source: Getty Images.The bull case for AmazonThe bull case for Amazon focuses on its strong position in three growing markets: e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital advertising. Retail may come with low margins, but Amazon will account for 40% of online sales in the U.S. this year, giving it more than five times the market share of its closest rival, Walmart. That means Amazon is still better positioned to capitalize on the secular shift to online shopping than its competition, and global e-commerce sales are expected to grow at 13% annually to reach $15 trillion by 2030, according to Ameco Research.Better yet, Amazon is becoming a digital advertising juggernaut, due in large part to the popularity of its online marketplace. When U.S. consumers are searching for a product, Amazon is the most common starting point, even more common than Alphabet's Google Search, according to eMarketer. That makes Amazon a valuable ad partner for brands. In fact, the company is now the fourth-largest advertiser on the planet, and Amazon nearly led the world in ad revenue growth last year.That has big implications. Digital advertising is a massive industry that is rapidly approaching $1 trillion, but it is also far more profitable than retail. Amazon has yet to provide specific operating metrics, but Google regularly achieves an operating margin over 30% in its ad business, so investors can reasonably assume Amazon is in the same ballpark.Additionally, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the clear leader in cloud computing, another quickly growing industry with high margins. In fact, AWS currently holds twice as much market share as the next-closest cloud vendor, Microsoft Azure, and it regularly achieves an operating margin around 30%. That means AWS is poised to be a powerful growth engine in the coming years, as the cloud computing market is expected to increase at 20% annually to reach $1.7 trillion by 2029, according to Fortune Business Insights.Amazon stock is trading at a bargain priceGiven Amazon's strong presence in three large and growing markets, investors have good reason to believe sales will average double-digit growth for years to come. Better yet, Amazon should become more profitable over time, as AWS and advertising services are growing more quickly than its retail segment.With that in mind, shares currently trade at 1.8 times sales, a discount to the three-year average of 3.7 times sales. That is a bargain price for a company poised to deliver double-digit sales growth over the long term.Also noteworthy, shares currently trade at 81.8 times earnings, roughly in line with the three-year average. But that multiple should fall quickly as Amazon's high-margin segments account for a bigger chunk of total revenue.That's why this growth stock is a screaming buy, and investors should jump on the opportunity before it passes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":63,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955735552,"gmtCreate":1675751576477,"gmtModify":1675751580961,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree with the call.","listText":"Agree with the call.","text":"Agree with the call.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955735552","repostId":"1155783457","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1155783457","pubTimestamp":1675746976,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155783457?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-07 13:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"JPMorgan’s Kolanovic Calls Latest Stock Rally a Bear-Market Trap","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155783457","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategist Marko Kolanovic reiterated Monday that investors should fade last we","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. strategist Marko Kolanovic reiterated Monday that investors should fade last week’s Federal Reserve-induced stock-market rally, arguing that the US economy’s disinflationary process could just be “transitory.”</p><p>Kolanovic sees the first three months of the year likely marking an “inflection point in the market,” with an air pocket during the second and third quarters, he wrote in a note to clients.

With the stock near its multi-year low, these headwinds could cause some problems inthe new year if they did not improve rather quickly. Unfortunately, recent trends are only getting worse, making management&#39;s upcoming pricing decisions in the next couple of months even more interesting.</p><p>Let me first start in China where Tesla seems to have a demand problem. The company has already reduced Model 3 and Y prices this quarter and has implemented various additional incentives as the company&#39;s EV subsidy is set to expire in less than 3 weeks. There are also reports circulating about production cuts, but Tesla has refuted those for now. Each Tuesday we get weekly insurance data, and key Tesla watcher Troy Teslike said that 16,000 unitswould be as expectedfor the latest period. Unfortunately the actual number came in just under 13,000 vehicles, fallingwell short of expectations. It will be interesting to see how pricing fares in the coming months if sales continue to be sluggish.</p><p>Another issue I detailed previously was the drop in US gasoline prices. As oil prices have fallen to new 52-week lows recently, prices at the pump have also come down considerably. Since my previous article, the national average has dropped by nearly 50 cents a gallon, with the expectation that we&#39;ll see a 2 handle on the average before the end of the year. As the chart below shows, we are nearing 40% off the peak.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3ca940cfd51ccd288deeca8900879d4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"323\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>US Average Gasoline Price(GasBuddy)</p><p>While electric vehicles will get a nice demand boost from credits in the Inflation Reduction Act starting in 2023, lower gasoline prices could certainly provide a headwind to demand, especially in the seasonally weaker winter months. There are also questions regarding Tesla demand amongits core basegiven Elon Musk&#39;s Twitter antics in recent weeks. As the CEO tries to get the social media site back on track, he appears to be offending more and more groups, hurting Tesla&#39;s brand image in the process.</p><p>I also mentioned previously that used Tesla prices have been dropping in recent months. Part of this may be due to some of the items I mentioned above, but also the Fed&#39;s ongoing actions to reduce overall inflation along with fears of an upcoming US recession. Since that article, the used Tesla vehicle index has come down by just over $2,000 as seen in the chart below, basically putting it at a 17-month low.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13ebd9cf8c201b15091ca0ce10436138\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Used Tesla Vehicle Prices(CarGurus)</p><p>There was a time earlier this year where certain used Tesla models were actually more expensive than buying a new Tesla vehicle. Management has previously cited used car sales as a reason why Tesla&#39;s services and other business have done well this year and margins in the segment have improved. With used prices now dropping, that could provide a small headwind to new car demand, and likely will impact margins on the used side a bit.</p><p>With all of the above-mentioned items swirling, Tesla shares have recently underperformed the markets. Shares on Tuesday morning hit a new multi-year low, and even some of the biggest supporters don&#39;t seem to be doing much buying. As of about 10AM on Tuesday, Tesla&#39;s implied weight in the flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) was barely above 7.00%, which would be the lowest number seen since I started tracking back in April 2020.</p><p>At its peak, as the chart below shows, Cathie Wood&#39;s top ETF had nearly 13% of its assets in the name. Tesla&#39;s implied weight in the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) would also be at a new low over that time at just 6.50%. Tesla shares have crumbled this year since Cathie Wood put a split-adjusted price target of more than $1,500 on the name. Tesla is no longer the top holding in these two Ark Invest ETFs, being the third largest holding in ARKK and 4th largest in ARKW currently</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef335fb116057fdcad0c4b8ca0f7775e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>ARKK Tesla Weight(Ark Invest, Author Estimate)</p><p>In the end, things are not looking great for Tesla at the moment. Chinese registration data continues to disappoint as demand questions rise in the company&#39;s most important sales market.

With the stock near its multi-year low, these headwinds could cause some problems inthe new year if they did not improve rather quickly. Unfortunately, recent trends are only getting worse, making management's upcoming pricing decisions in the next couple of months even more interesting.Let me first start in China where Tesla seems to have a demand problem. The company has already reduced Model 3 and Y prices this quarter and has implemented various additional incentives as the company's EV subsidy is set to expire in less than 3 weeks. There are also reports circulating about production cuts, but Tesla has refuted those for now. Each Tuesday we get weekly insurance data, and key Tesla watcher Troy Teslike said that 16,000 unitswould be as expectedfor the latest period. Unfortunately the actual number came in just under 13,000 vehicles, fallingwell short of expectations. It will be interesting to see how pricing fares in the coming months if sales continue to be sluggish.Another issue I detailed previously was the drop in US gasoline prices. As oil prices have fallen to new 52-week lows recently, prices at the pump have also come down considerably. Since my previous article, the national average has dropped by nearly 50 cents a gallon, with the expectation that we'll see a 2 handle on the average before the end of the year. As the chart below shows, we are nearing 40% off the peak.US Average Gasoline Price(GasBuddy)While electric vehicles will get a nice demand boost from credits in the Inflation Reduction Act starting in 2023, lower gasoline prices could certainly provide a headwind to demand, especially in the seasonally weaker winter months. There are also questions regarding Tesla demand amongits core basegiven Elon Musk's Twitter antics in recent weeks. As the CEO tries to get the social media site back on track, he appears to be offending more and more groups, hurting Tesla's brand image in the process.I also mentioned previously that used Tesla prices have been dropping in recent months. Part of this may be due to some of the items I mentioned above, but also the Fed's ongoing actions to reduce overall inflation along with fears of an upcoming US recession. Since that article, the used Tesla vehicle index has come down by just over $2,000 as seen in the chart below, basically putting it at a 17-month low.Used Tesla Vehicle Prices(CarGurus)There was a time earlier this year where certain used Tesla models were actually more expensive than buying a new Tesla vehicle. Management has previously cited used car sales as a reason why Tesla's services and other business have done well this year and margins in the segment have improved. With used prices now dropping, that could provide a small headwind to new car demand, and likely will impact margins on the used side a bit.With all of the above-mentioned items swirling, Tesla shares have recently underperformed the markets. Shares on Tuesday morning hit a new multi-year low, and even some of the biggest supporters don't seem to be doing much buying. As of about 10AM on Tuesday, Tesla's implied weight in the flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) was barely above 7.00%, which would be the lowest number seen since I started tracking back in April 2020.At its peak, as the chart below shows, Cathie Wood's top ETF had nearly 13% of its assets in the name. Tesla's implied weight in the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) would also be at a new low over that time at just 6.50%. Tesla shares have crumbled this year since Cathie Wood put a split-adjusted price target of more than $1,500 on the name. Tesla is no longer the top holding in these two Ark Invest ETFs, being the third largest holding in ARKK and 4th largest in ARKW currentlyARKK Tesla Weight(Ark Invest, Author Estimate)In the end, things are not looking great for Tesla at the moment. Chinese registration data continues to disappoint as demand questions rise in the company's most important sales market. In the US, falling gasoline prices could hurt EV demand, at a time where Elon Musk's Twitter antics are not exactly helping. Used Tesla prices continue to fall as well, and one of Tesla's biggest supporters doesn't seem interested in buying currently. Shares just hit a new multi-year low, and how much more downside is ahead may depend on when some of these headwinds subside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9923750752,"gmtCreate":1670918499376,"gmtModify":1676538459712,"author":{"id":"4112492242355422","authorId":"4112492242355422","name":"Arya Carnain","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5b3a909b03049004a5fd64947b978f26","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4112492242355422","authorIdStr":"4112492242355422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"[Cool]&nbsp;","text":"[Cool]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9923750752","repostId":"2291276650","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2291276650","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":1670913984,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2291276650?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-13 14:46","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Jump Or Slump? $30K Or $5K?

To my mind, no, there aren't that many left,\" said Jacob Sansbury, co-founder of retail investor services firm Pluto.Sansbury believes most over-leveraged miners, who tend to be large holders of bitcoin, have exited positions to pay off debts taken out in traditional money to fund their equipment and operations.Indeed bitcoin's recent calmness could be down to the fact that there are fewer coins to sell: the amount held on exchanges for trading stands at 1.97 million, Coinglass data shows, down steeply from 2.33 million at the start of the year.Major offloading has already taken place; November saw a 7-day realized loss of $10.16 billion in bitcoin investments as investors were forced to exit long-term positions, the fourth-largest loss on record by this measure, according to Glassnode data.The cryptocurrency has already dropped more than 60% in 2022 and set to see its first annual loss since 2018.Many remaining investors are placing their bitcoin into offline \"cold storage\" according to on-chain data, which should strengthen a floor price around $16,000, said Bob Ras, co-founder of Sologenic, an exchange and digital asset firm.\"Barring any more surprises in the market, it's hard to imagine BTC going significantly lower,\" he added.Ras believes that if it wasn't for the high-profile collapse of crypto players FTX, Celsius and Terra this year, the price of bitcoin would be close to $25,000 now.But this is crypto, and more surprises could well be in store, with a number of potential selling triggers on the horizon.THE BEAR'S TALEFirst potential peril is the risk of more bitcoin miners being forced to sell their holdings to stay afloat, as mining becomes increasingly expensive.\"Miners as a group start to become unprofitable under $20,000, so we're below (that) point,\" noted Ben McMillan, chief investment officer at IDX Digital Assets.CrytpoQuant's miner reserve indicator, which tracks the amount of bitcoin held in miners' wallets, has dropped by about 7,722 bitcoin since November.Market players also pointed to concerns about the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, the world's largest bitcoin fund with $10.9 billion in assets. Parent company Digital Currency Group, which owns Genesis Trading, owes $575 million to Genesis' crypto lending arm, DCG's CEO told shareholders on Nov. 22.Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's discount to its net asset value, is at an all-time low of 48% and shares have not traded at a premium since March 2021, Coinglass data showed.DCG last month said troubles at Genesis' lending business had no impact on DCG and its subsidiaries, while Grayscale maintained it was business as usual and its underlying assets were unaffected.\"This could be the other shoe to drop,\" said McMillan, referring to the possibility of Grayscale running into financial trouble. \"That said, if bitcoin can hold the $15,000 line through the DCG workout, that would be a strong indicator going into 2023.A more hawkish than expected Federal Reserve at its final meeting of the year on Wednesday could further erode risk appetite and bitcoin's prospects, crypto watchers said.Bitcoin has fallen 75% after hitting a record high of $69,000 in November 2021GETTING TECHNICALThe scenarios of bitcoin leaping to $30,000 or tumbling to $5,000 in 2023 were long-shot possibilities flagged by VanEck and Standard Chartered, respectively.When it comes to the technicals, several analysts pointed to indicators showing bitcoin may have found support between $16,000 and $16,800.The cryptocurrency could also run into resistance around the $17,490 level, said Eddie Tofpik, head of technical analysis at ADM Investor Services, cautioning that any long-term rally was likely to be challenging.\"Anytime we see a rally, it's one step up and then two or three steps down,\" he said.Vetle Lunde, analyst at Arcane Research, said long-term bets could be appealing in the wake of the November turmoil.Nonetheless, uncertainty reigns.\"Bear in mind that massive drawdowns tend to be followed by a long-lasting directionless market filled with apathy and unfathomable second-guessing,\" Lunde added.Reuters Graphics
