This means you can buy TWTR stock today and book a profit of 10% before the end of the year. In a market that’s falling like a knife, that’s good business.</p><p>But Elon has bigger problems. Since the bid came out <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>), which he’s using as collateral, is down 14%. It was trading May 9 at $835. His fortune, and rising credibility, are now based more on the success of <b>SpaceX</b>.</p><p>Despite having the cash for his bid lined up, Elon Musk seems to have a credibility gap. The question is why?</p><p>Musk in Space</p><p>Musk’s fortune is still listed by<i>Forbes</i>at$240.8 billion. That’s 10 times what he was worth in 2020, when his fortune was listed at $24.6 billion.</p><p>You might say his fortunes have gone up like a rocket ship. Most call Tesla the rocket ship. The stock is up 428% over the last two years.</p><p>But the real rocket ship is SpaceX. Musk has full control over that private company. Its valuation at its last funding was $100 billion, but it’s probably much more now.</p><p>That’s because SpaceX dominates its niche. It has become the primary contractor for flights to the International Space Station (ISS). Its Starlink satellite network is so successful the Chinese government is complaining.</p><p>Starlink reportedly has 250,000 customers, and claims it will have 500,000 by mid-year. The company is charging$135/month for the service, if you want a mobile terminal. If those are 250,000 paying customers, SpaceX could book over $400 million this year from StarLink. If it hits the 500,000 customer target, double that.</p><p>Musk Has the Money</p><p>The success of SpaceX is why Musk has had no problem executing his bid. He has brought several other oligarchs into the deal, from <b>Oracle</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ORCL</u></b>) CEO Larry Ellison to Saudi princeal-Waleed bin Talal. The Tesla stock used as collateral is now just $6.25 billion.</p><p>The outside investors bought based ona “pitch deck” that claims Musk could quadruple revenue in 2028 with advertising, data licensing, and subscriptions. He also claims he can get $15 billion next year from a payments business that doesn’t exist today.</p><p>As with other leveraged buyouts, the deal would load Twitter with debt. The plan is to transform the company’s prospects, then bring it back to the public market.</p><p>But for current Twitter shareholders, this shouldn’t matter. All that should matter is getting the $54.20. Since Twitter doesn’t own broadcast licenses and there are no monopoly issues, regulatory approval should be routine. Despite claims by some writers that Twitter is worth more, Twitter couldn’t find another bidder.</p><p>The Bottom Line on TWTR Stock</p><p>As a risk arbitrage opportunity, Twitter looks like a no-brainer.</p><p><i>Morningstar</i> believes the transaction will close before the end of the year. There are regulatory hurdles, but no real issues. Twitter isn’t combining with another company and it’s far from a monopoly in the social media space.</p><p>What if Musk backs off? While some analysts insist the company is worth $50 billion, I would say not in this market.

This means you can buy TWTR stock today and book a profit of 10% before the end of the year. In a market that’s falling like a knife, that’s good business.But Elon has bigger problems. Since the bid came out Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), which he’s using as collateral, is down 14%. It was trading May 9 at $835. His fortune, and rising credibility, are now based more on the success of SpaceX.Despite having the cash for his bid lined up, Elon Musk seems to have a credibility gap. The question is why?Musk in SpaceMusk’s fortune is still listed byForbesat$240.8 billion. That’s 10 times what he was worth in 2020, when his fortune was listed at $24.6 billion.You might say his fortunes have gone up like a rocket ship. Most call Tesla the rocket ship. The stock is up 428% over the last two years.But the real rocket ship is SpaceX. Musk has full control over that private company. Its valuation at its last funding was $100 billion, but it’s probably much more now.That’s because SpaceX dominates its niche. It has become the primary contractor for flights to the International Space Station (ISS). Its Starlink satellite network is so successful the Chinese government is complaining.Starlink reportedly has 250,000 customers, and claims it will have 500,000 by mid-year. The company is charging$135/month for the service, if you want a mobile terminal. If those are 250,000 paying customers, SpaceX could book over $400 million this year from StarLink. If it hits the 500,000 customer target, double that.Musk Has the MoneyThe success of SpaceX is why Musk has had no problem executing his bid. He has brought several other oligarchs into the deal, from Oracle(NASDAQ:ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison to Saudi princeal-Waleed bin Talal. The Tesla stock used as collateral is now just $6.25 billion.The outside investors bought based ona “pitch deck” that claims Musk could quadruple revenue in 2028 with advertising, data licensing, and subscriptions. He also claims he can get $15 billion next year from a payments business that doesn’t exist today.As with other leveraged buyouts, the deal would load Twitter with debt. The plan is to transform the company’s prospects, then bring it back to the public market.But for current Twitter shareholders, this shouldn’t matter. All that should matter is getting the $54.20. Since Twitter doesn’t own broadcast licenses and there are no monopoly issues, regulatory approval should be routine. Despite claims by some writers that Twitter is worth more, Twitter couldn’t find another bidder.The Bottom Line on TWTR StockAs a risk arbitrage opportunity, Twitter looks like a no-brainer.Morningstar believes the transaction will close before the end of the year. There are regulatory hurdles, but no real issues. Twitter isn’t combining with another company and it’s far from a monopoly in the social media space.What if Musk backs off? While some analysts insist the company is worth $50 billion, I would say not in this market. Twitter lost $221 million last year, 28 cents per share, on revenue of $5.07 billion. The days of money-losing companies being valued at 10 times revenue based on their growth, even Twitter’s growth of 37%, are over.That means if you buy Twitter today, you’re betting Musk will buy you out. That’s a lot less risk than the oligarchs are taking, that Musk can make people pay for what’s now a free service. But it is a risk.For a speculative investor, I call it a risk worth taking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":472,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9993482644,"gmtCreate":1660715388590,"gmtModify":1676536385876,"author":{"id":"4113265924591412","authorId":"4113265924591412","name":"SGDarrenC","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/490332054db9b9bfd6e97300caaec5ec","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4113265924591412","authorIdStr":"4113265924591412"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[LOL]&nbsp;","listText":"[LOL]&nbsp;","text":"[LOL]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9993482644","repostId":"2260896234","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2260896234","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1660713216,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2260896234?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-17 13:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Musk Says He Was Joking About Buying Manchester United","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2260896234","media":"Reuters","summary":"Aug 17 (Reuters) - Elon Musk, the world's richest person, tweeted on Wednesday that he was joking wh","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Aug 17 (Reuters) - Elon Musk, the world&#39;s richest person, tweeted on Wednesday that he was joking when he said that he was going to buy English soccer club Manchester United Plc.</p><p>&#34;No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter.

Apple has been <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most valuable companies in the world for a while and has leadership positions in numerous fields. Its massive installed device base (1.8B active devices) is pushing Apple&#39;s service revenue upwards at a rapid pace, and the overall company&#39;s profit margin is also improving. Furthermore, Apple is moving to become self-sufficient to reduce costs and mitigate supply chain disruptions, and the effort has been paying off. I expect Apple to continue its success well into the future, and the current volatility in the tech sector is presenting a huge opportunity to grab Apple shares at a discount because:</p><ul><li>Apple&#39;s high margin businesses (Mac and Service segments) are growing at a rapid pace, contributing to great revenue growth and margin expansion.</li><li>Revenue growth trajectory remains solid with an increasing subscription base and new product releases (iPad Air, iPhone SE, and etc.).</li><li>The market volatility and tech sector sell-off dragged Apple&#39;s stock down, and it is now being sold under its pre-pandemic level. This presents a great opportunity.</li></ul><h3>Growing in Right Segments</h3><p>Since I wrote my last article, Apple reported quarterly earnings in late April, and the results continue to demonstrate that Apple is focusing on the correct segments for growth and profitability. Overall revenue grew 9% YoY to $97.3 B, and they generated a whopping $28 B operating cash flow. Particularly, their Mac segment and services segment led the charge.</p><p>Apple has been working on becoming self-sufficient and manufacturing key product components internally. A couple of years ago Apple took the noteworthy action of severing ties with Intel and making their own computer chips. The effort has been paying a great dividend. The Apple M1 (their own chip) has been performing very well against Intel and other chips on the market, and Mac sales have been very strong. Additionally, producing their own chips boosted the profit margins on Mac products.</p><p>Strong performance by Apple Services segment (advertising, AppleCare, Cloud, Digital Content, Payment) is also welcome news for investors. The services segment is a 2x higher gross margin business (72.6%) than the products segment (36.4%), and it has higher growth potential from cloud and digital content.

Apple has been one of the most valuable companies in the world for a while and has leadership positions in numerous fields. Its massive installed device base (1.8B active devices) is pushing Apple's service revenue upwards at a rapid pace, and the overall company's profit margin is also improving. Furthermore, Apple is moving to become self-sufficient to reduce costs and mitigate supply chain disruptions, and the effort has been paying off. I expect Apple to continue its success well into the future, and the current volatility in the tech sector is presenting a huge opportunity to grab Apple shares at a discount because:Apple's high margin businesses (Mac and Service segments) are growing at a rapid pace, contributing to great revenue growth and margin expansion.Revenue growth trajectory remains solid with an increasing subscription base and new product releases (iPad Air, iPhone SE, and etc.).The market volatility and tech sector sell-off dragged Apple's stock down, and it is now being sold under its pre-pandemic level. This presents a great opportunity.Growing in Right SegmentsSince I wrote my last article, Apple reported quarterly earnings in late April, and the results continue to demonstrate that Apple is focusing on the correct segments for growth and profitability. Overall revenue grew 9% YoY to $97.3 B, and they generated a whopping $28 B operating cash flow. Particularly, their Mac segment and services segment led the charge.Apple has been working on becoming self-sufficient and manufacturing key product components internally. A couple of years ago Apple took the noteworthy action of severing ties with Intel and making their own computer chips. The effort has been paying a great dividend. The Apple M1 (their own chip) has been performing very well against Intel and other chips on the market, and Mac sales have been very strong. Additionally, producing their own chips boosted the profit margins on Mac products.Strong performance by Apple Services segment (advertising, AppleCare, Cloud, Digital Content, Payment) is also welcome news for investors. The services segment is a 2x higher gross margin business (72.6%) than the products segment (36.4%), and it has higher growth potential from cloud and digital content. Assisted by its massive installed device base (1.8 B active devices), AppleCare has great potential for increasing revenue as well. Overall, the strong performance from Mac and Services shows that there are good days ahead.Performance by Segments (SEC Filings)Gross Margins of Apple by Segments (SEC Filings)Strong Revenue Growth TrajectoryApple has been growing at a solid pace (10% per year, 5-year average) in the past several years, and the revenue growth is accelerating.

After all, nobody likes losing money; that goes against the whole purpose of investing. However, pulling your money out of the stock market during down periods can often do more harm than good in the long term. Here&#39;s why you should keep investing during such periods.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/83e655a5c0301001b3e34cfe642835c7\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Use down periods to lower your cost basis</h2><p>Although nobody likes seeing their investments decline in price, it can actually be a good opportunity for long-term investors because it&#39;s a chance to lower your cost basis. Your cost basis essentially tells you the average price you paid per share for a particular company. If you bought 10 shares of a company at $100 each, your cost basis would be $100. If the stock&#39;s price dropped to $80 and you purchased 10 more shares, your new cost basis would be $90 ($1,800 spent / 20 shares owned).</p><p>Lowering your cost basis is valuable because it increases your profit whenever you eventually sell your shares. Imagine you own 20 shares with a $90 cost basis, and someone else also owns 20 shares of the same company but with a $100 cost basis. If that stock&#39;s price increases to $150 and you both sell, you would have profited $1,200, and they would have profited $1,000.</p><p>Although you both own the same number of shares, your profits are higher because you were able to lower your cost basis.</p><p>If you&#39;re investing in sound businesses, don&#39;t panic over short-term drops in price; consider it a blessing in disguise and put yourself in a better long-term position.</p><h2>Time in the market is important</h2><p>&#34;Time in the market is better than timing the market&#34; is an investing saying that has stood the test of time -- and it&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> investors should always keep in mind. On one end, it points to how timing the market is virtually impossible to do consistently long term. It also speaks to the power of time in the market -- especially regarding dividends.</p><p>Companies pay out dividends to reward their shareholders for holding on to their investments. If you&#39;re investing in dividend-paying companies (preferably Dividend Aristocrats or Dividend Kings, which also have stood the test of time), you&#39;re doing yourself a disservice if you pull your money out due to drops in the market.</p><p>If you have $10,000 invested in a company or fund with a 3% annual dividend yield, you can expect to receive $300 in dividends each year. If the stock&#39;s price is rising, you can expect that dividend payout; if the stock&#39;s price is dropping, you can expect that dividend payout. The company&#39;s stock price shouldn&#39;t be your only focus as long as it manages to keep paying out dividends.</p><p>If you panic sell because the stock is dropping, you essentially remove an income source that could prove to be key to your return on investment. If the stock price drops and the value of your investment loses $200 in a year, but you made $300 from dividends, you still came out positive.</p><h2>Don&#39;t be an emotional investor</h2><p>As an investor, it&#39;s easy to get too high on the highs and too low on the lows in the short term. One of the best ways to remove some emotions from investing is applying dollar-cost averaging.

After all, nobody likes losing money; that goes against the whole purpose of investing. However, pulling your money out of the stock market during down periods can often do more harm than good in the long term. Here's why you should keep investing during such periods.Image source: Getty Images.Use down periods to lower your cost basisAlthough nobody likes seeing their investments decline in price, it can actually be a good opportunity for long-term investors because it's a chance to lower your cost basis. Your cost basis essentially tells you the average price you paid per share for a particular company. If you bought 10 shares of a company at $100 each, your cost basis would be $100. If the stock's price dropped to $80 and you purchased 10 more shares, your new cost basis would be $90 ($1,800 spent / 20 shares owned).Lowering your cost basis is valuable because it increases your profit whenever you eventually sell your shares. Imagine you own 20 shares with a $90 cost basis, and someone else also owns 20 shares of the same company but with a $100 cost basis. If that stock's price increases to $150 and you both sell, you would have profited $1,200, and they would have profited $1,000.Although you both own the same number of shares, your profits are higher because you were able to lower your cost basis.If you're investing in sound businesses, don't panic over short-term drops in price; consider it a blessing in disguise and put yourself in a better long-term position.Time in the market is important\"Time in the market is better than timing the market\" is an investing saying that has stood the test of time -- and it's one investors should always keep in mind. On one end, it points to how timing the market is virtually impossible to do consistently long term. It also speaks to the power of time in the market -- especially regarding dividends.Companies pay out dividends to reward their shareholders for holding on to their investments. If you're investing in dividend-paying companies (preferably Dividend Aristocrats or Dividend Kings, which also have stood the test of time), you're doing yourself a disservice if you pull your money out due to drops in the market.If you have $10,000 invested in a company or fund with a 3% annual dividend yield, you can expect to receive $300 in dividends each year. If the stock's price is rising, you can expect that dividend payout; if the stock's price is dropping, you can expect that dividend payout. The company's stock price shouldn't be your only focus as long as it manages to keep paying out dividends.If you panic sell because the stock is dropping, you essentially remove an income source that could prove to be key to your return on investment. If the stock price drops and the value of your investment loses $200 in a year, but you made $300 from dividends, you still came out positive.Don't be an emotional investorAs an investor, it's easy to get too high on the highs and too low on the lows in the short term. One of the best ways to remove some emotions from investing is applying dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging involves making consistent investments at regular intervals, no matter what the stock price is at the time. It's how 401(k) plans operate; no matter the cost of the investments, you contribute your designated amount each pay period.Focusing on the end goal and ignoring the short-term volatility can make investing less stressful and can help prevent you from making emotional decisions that may go against your best long-term interest.
