that Warren Buffett is in a class of his own. Since taking the helm as CEO of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> in 1965, he&#39;s created approximately $760 billion in value for shareholders (himself included), and delivered an aggregate return for the Class A shares (BRK.A) of 4,186,398%, through this past week.</p><p>Even though riding Warren Buffett&#39;s coattails has long been a winning strategy, not all Buffett stocks are created equal. Among the roughly four dozen securities currently held by Berkshire Hathaway are two no-brainer buys and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> stock that&#39;s best avoided like the plague.</p><h2>Buffett stock No. 1 to buy: Bank of America</h2><p>The first stock to buy hand over fist is the Oracle of Omaha&#39;s second-largest holding, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p><p>Shares of BofA have lost a quarter of their value over the past 10 weeks. It would appear that Wall Street is concerned about the growing prospect of a recession in the wake of historically high inflation. Since bank stocks are cyclical businesses, there&#39;s a good likelihood that they&#39;ll contend with higher loan delinquencies should a recession materialize.</p><p>But there&#39;s another side to this coin. Despite being cyclical, bank stocks can take advantage of disproportionately long periods of economic expansion. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they typically only last for a few months to a couple of quarters. By comparison, expansions can last for many years. Bank stocks like BofA allow patient investors to take advantage of the natural expansion of the U.S. or global economy over time.</p><p>What investors should really appreciate about Bank of America is its interest-rate sensitivity. With the trailing-12-month U.S. inflation rate coming in at 8.5% for March, it&#39;s crystal clear that the Federal Reserve is going to do whatever is necessary to quell rising prices. This likely means multiple interest rate hikes are on tap this year.</p><p>In its fourth-quarter investor presentation, Bank of America points out that a 100-basis-point parallel shift in the interest-rate yield curve over 12 months would generate an estimated $6.5 billion in added net interest income.  There&#39;s a good chance we&#39;ll easily surpass a 100-basis-point move over the next year.</p><p>In addition to bringing in a lot of extra interest income on its outstanding variable-rate loans, Bank of America is benefiting from its users shifting to digital formats. When 2021 came to a close, 41 million BofA customers were actively banking with the company online or via mobile app, with 49% of all sales being completed digitally (up from 31% at the end of 2018).  Since digital transactions are considerably less costly than in-person or phone-based interactions, BofA has been able to consolidate some of its branches to further boost its operating efficiency.</p><p>Following their recent pullback, shares of Bank of America can be scooped up for less than 10 times Wall Street&#39;s forward-year earnings forecast and for just 24% above its book value (as of the end of 2021). That&#39;s a bargain for a high-quality bank stock with a rich history of returning capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.</p><h2>Buffett stock No. 2 to buy: General Motors</h2><p>A second Warren Buffett stock to buy hand over fist is legacy auto giant <b>General Motors</b>.</p><p>Similar to Bank of America, shares of GM have been taken to the woodshed in recent months. Since hitting an all-time high during early January, shares of GM have fallen 40%. Wall Street is clearly worried about persistent semiconductor shortages and how they are hurting the production of new vehicles.</p><p>However, there&#39;s good news here on multiple fronts. First off, we&#39;re looking at a supply chain issue and not a demand problem. Consumers and businesses have had a healthy appetite for more fuel-efficient vehicles for years, and it&#39;s translating into a number of higher-margin vehicles being traded in -- i.e., more trucks and SUVs, as opposed to sedans -- and replaced by newer, more efficient versions. For investors with a multiyear time horizon, the semiconductor supply shortage shouldn&#39;t be a concern.</p><p>What&#39;s considerably more exciting for General Motors is that its long-awaited shot in the arm of organic growth has arrived. The electrification of automobiles is expected to lead to a multidecade vehicle replacement cycle for consumers and business fleets. It&#39;s an opportunity for GM to lift its vehicle margins while delivering far-above-average annual sales growth.</p><p>Last year, General Motors increased its spending projection on electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous vehicles, and batteries to $35 billion through 2025. CEO Mary Barra has laid out her company&#39;s goals of producing more than 1 million EVs annually in North America by the end of 2025, with two battery plants coming on line by 2023. In total, 30 new EV models are expected to launch worldwide by the midpoint of the decade.</p><p>Keeping in mind that the initial customer deposit totaled only $100, early interest in the Chevy Silverado EV demonstrates what&#39;s to come for General Motors. Just weeks after unveiling the Silverado EV, Barra noted over 110,000 reservations were placed for the popular truck.</p><p>Even if General Motors&#39; earnings forecast were to be cut in 2022 due to supply chain challenges, shares of the company appear far too inexpensive given the accelerated growth it&#39;s likely to enjoy from the EV replacement cycle. This makes GM a no-brainer buy at less than six times Wall Street&#39;s forecast earnings for 2023.</p><h2>The Warren Buffett stock to avoid: Kroger</h2><p>On the other side of the aisle is the Buffett stock that investors would be smart to completely avoid: grocery giant <b>Kroger</b>.</p><p>There&#39;s no question that things couldn&#39;t have gone any better for Kroger over the past two years. First, it benefited immensely from the pandemic. Though panic-buying is rarely ever a positive thing, consumers began stocking up on a variety goods throughout the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>It would also appear that the company has received a boost from inflationary pressures. Since Kroger&#39;s numerous grocery chains are primarily known for selling basic-need goods, such as food, it&#39;s not had any trouble passing along higher costs to consumers.</p><p>One final thing I&#39;ll note is that the Restock Kroger initiative has paid dividends. Restock Kroger, which emphasizes online ordering, was launched in 2017 and really took shape during the pandemic when direct-to-consumer sales became all the rage.</p><p>However, there are a couple of red flags that should keep investors away from Kroger. For starters, comparable-store sales grew by only 0.2% last year if fuel sales are excluded.  Although Kroger is having no trouble passing along price hikes to its shoppers, rising costs throughout its supply chain are offsetting these hikes.</p><p>Another issue is Kroger&#39;s valuation. We&#39;re talking about a company that traditionally grows sales by a low double-digit percentage (1% to 3%) that&#39;s valued at more than 15 times the midpoint of its full-year earnings forecast. That might not sound expensive, but when you consider that Kroger&#39;s board has been repurchasing stock ($1.6 billion in 2021), you&#39;ll see that there&#39;s very little actual growth behind the company&#39;s earnings-per-share figures.</p><p>With the U.S. economy likely beyond the worst of the pandemic and inflation expected to taper off in the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023, Kroger&#39;s perfect scenario looks destined to come to an end sooner rather than later.</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>2 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist and 1 to Avoid Like the Plague</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\">\n2 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist and 1 to Avoid Like the Plague\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-18 18:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/18/2-warren-buffett-stocks-buy-1-to-avoid-like-plague/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When it comes to investing prowess, a pretty good argument can be made that Warren Buffett is in a class of his own.

CEO Mary Barra has laid out her company's goals of producing more than 1 million EVs annually in North America by the end of 2025, with two battery plants coming on line by 2023. In total, 30 new EV models are expected to launch worldwide by the midpoint of the decade.Keeping in mind that the initial customer deposit totaled only $100, early interest in the Chevy Silverado EV demonstrates what's to come for General Motors. Just weeks after unveiling the Silverado EV, Barra noted over 110,000 reservations were placed for the popular truck.Even if General Motors' earnings forecast were to be cut in 2022 due to supply chain challenges, shares of the company appear far too inexpensive given the accelerated growth it's likely to enjoy from the EV replacement cycle. This makes GM a no-brainer buy at less than six times Wall Street's forecast earnings for 2023.The Warren Buffett stock to avoid: KrogerOn the other side of the aisle is the Buffett stock that investors would be smart to completely avoid: grocery giant Kroger.There's no question that things couldn't have gone any better for Kroger over the past two years. First, it benefited immensely from the pandemic. Though panic-buying is rarely ever a positive thing, consumers began stocking up on a variety goods throughout the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.It would also appear that the company has received a boost from inflationary pressures. Since Kroger's numerous grocery chains are primarily known for selling basic-need goods, such as food, it's not had any trouble passing along higher costs to consumers.One final thing I'll note is that the Restock Kroger initiative has paid dividends. Restock Kroger, which emphasizes online ordering, was launched in 2017 and really took shape during the pandemic when direct-to-consumer sales became all the rage.However, there are a couple of red flags that should keep investors away from Kroger. For starters, comparable-store sales grew by only 0.2% last year if fuel sales are excluded.  Although Kroger is having no trouble passing along price hikes to its shoppers, rising costs throughout its supply chain are offsetting these hikes.Another issue is Kroger's valuation. We're talking about a company that traditionally grows sales by a low double-digit percentage (1% to 3%) that's valued at more than 15 times the midpoint of its full-year earnings forecast. That might not sound expensive, but when you consider that Kroger's board has been repurchasing stock ($1.6 billion in 2021), you'll see that there's very little actual growth behind the company's earnings-per-share figures.With the U.S. economy likely beyond the worst of the pandemic and inflation expected to taper off in the second half of 2022 and throughout 2023, Kroger's perfect scenario looks destined to come to an end sooner rather than later.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":500,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9089474390,"gmtCreate":1650029800588,"gmtModify":1676534631907,"author":{"id":"3567935525237856","authorId":"3567935525237856","name":"WY92","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567935525237856","authorIdStr":"3567935525237856"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah","listText":"Yeah","text":"Yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9089474390","repostId":"2227676744","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2227676744","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649995014,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2227676744?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-15 11:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Is the ‘Ultimate Battery Capex Play,’ Says Morgan Stanley","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2227676744","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Is Tesla (TSLA) overvalued?

That is a question that has been asked many times. If you look at the EV leader as a “pure car company,” then yes, says Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas, Tesla is overvalued.“However,” the 5-star analyst went on to say, “the company may be substantially undervalued as a renewable energy on-shore infrastructure company.” In fact, Jonas views Tesla as the “ultimate battery capex play.”What recent events have shown us is that the world needs to “transition off of the fossil fuel economy (aka the molecular energy economy)” and into the renewable economy. More crudely, the combined effect of war + inflation will result in “energy innovation.”And here investors must ponder the new energy supply chain and supporting infrastructure. In the year ahead, Jonas expects Tesla, and fellow auto industry luminaries to show investors how important they are for this transformation to take place. With Tesla leading the way, Jonas expects “many other auto companies to play a critical role in re-architecting the renewable energy/transport industry.”What this will involve is no less than the MOACC – the Mother of All Capex Cycles. Over the next 20 years, to move off of fossil fuels, Jonas reckons that as much as $20 to $40 trillion will need to be spent in “accumulated capex and R&D.” So far, only 1% of this amount has gone toward this endeavor while to-date, not even 3% has even been allocated.“While many investors are still focused on whether GM can outperform Ford by 5 or 10% this year (or vice versa),” Jonas summed up, “the global renewable energy/battery capex cycle is where the real alpha is, in our opinion.”All in all, there’s no change to Jonas’ rating on TSLA, which remains an Overweight (i.e., Buy). The analyst gives the stock a $1,300 price target, which suggests ~32% growth in the year ahead.What does the rest of the Street have in store for Tesla? It’s a mixed bag; based on 15 Buy ratings, 5 Holds and 6 Sells, the stock claims a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The average price target currently stands at $1,005 and change, implying shares will stay rangebound for the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":418,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9080491696,"gmtCreate":1649903039795,"gmtModify":1676534603479,"author":{"id":"3567935525237856","authorId":"3567935525237856","name":"WY92","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567935525237856","authorIdStr":"3567935525237856"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[smile]&nbsp;","text":"[smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9080491696","repostId":"1168787231","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168787231","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649902894,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168787231?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-14 10:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Platforms: Attractive Risk/Reward; Headwinds Overblown","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168787231","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Shares of Meta Platforms (FB) have slowly trended lower after its disastrous earnings report that sh","content":"<div>\n<p>Shares of Meta Platforms (FB) have slowly trended lower after its disastrous earnings report that shed light on the slowdown in DAUs (Daily Active Users).

CEO Mark Zuckerberg was quick to point the finger at TikTok, with more of his attention now seemingly focused on far-fetched metaverse initiatives.It’s a confusing situation for shareholders, to say the least, with the stock shedding around half of its value from peak to trough. At $216 and change per share, FB stock looks to have regained its footing ahead of rising rates. At around 15 times trailing earnings, the once-beloved FAANG stock now looks to be one of the cheapest tech stocks in this market.Facebook has more than its fair share of haters, but the company itself still seems to be standing on firm ground. Social-media rival TikTok has become evolved to become one of the more popular platforms among young consumers in recent years.Still, FB investors need not fear, given this is not the first time that Zuckerberg’s empire has faced intense competition. With the stock at these depths, I remain incredibly bullish.Can Meta One-Up TikTok?Meta’s ability to replicate the success of its peers is a moat source in my books.The company’s Reels feature appears to be a direct answer to rising competitive pressures from the likes of a TikTok. While the success of the Reels feature has been limited thus far (a lot of TikTok content has been moved over to Reels), it may not take much for the social-media powerhouse to retake the lead as it looks to beckon younger users back to its platform.As Meta Platforms funnels money into improving the feature set of Facebook to become more attractive and relevant to more youthful audiences (think those in the Gen Z cohort), the firm has also set its target on its top rival in TikTok.Reportedly, Meta was funding a Republican firm’s anti-TikTok campaign. Such an effort could take a big stride out of the step of TikTok, as Facebook looks to play the role of one of the good guys, just a year after what can only be described as the perfect storm of negative headlines.TikTok does not seem to be a direct competitor to Facebook at first glance. They’re very different social media platforms that cater to different types of users.Still, the battle for user engagement has caused the two titans to clash in the social space, and Zuckerberg isn’t willing to see his empire go down without a fight.With very deep pockets, I’d look for Zuckerberg to spend his way out of the hole TikTok pushed it into. Whether such spending turns the tides back in Facebook’s favor, though, remains to be seen.Metaverse Euphoria Has Really FadedZuckerberg wants you to view his firm as a metaverse pioneer. He’s putting his money where his mouth is, with billions being put into the effort. It’s an exciting story for sure.However, with rates on the rise, such expensive growth stories with uncertain profitability prospects may be viewed more as a negative than a positive.For now, Zuckerberg is putting his foot on the gas when it comes to metaverse spending. Although I’m not a fan of the hazy future the firm sees itself entering, it’s hard to argue with FB stock’s risk/reward profile, with shares trading at a ridiculous 15.7 times trailing earnings.Many investors are confused about when the billions poured into the metaverse will pay off. For analysts, it’s tough to factor metaverse projects into a financial model.Undoubtedly, the metaverse as Zuckerberg sees it could be more than a decade away. On the flip side, it may be right around the horizon, as various firms continue innovating on the mixed-reality hardware front.Even if Meta’s metaverse projects don’t amount to much, the company still has an enviable social-media family of apps to fall back on. That alone makes me optimistic, even as TikTok and other rivals look to nibble away at the viewership of young consumers.At these depressed multiples, I’d argue that any upside from the metaverse project is essentially thrown in. In addition, I think many are discounting the brilliance of Zuckerberg.You don’t need to like the man, but his ability to see where the puck is headed next in the fast-moving world of tech ought to be respected.Wall Street’s TakeAccording to TipRanks’ consensus rating, FB stock comes in as a Moderate Buy. Out of 46 analyst ratings, there are 32 Buy recommendations, 13 Hold recommendations, and one Sell recommendation.The averageMeta Platforms price target is $325.48, implying 51.3% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a low of $220 per share to a high of $466 per share.Bottom Line on Meta Platforms StockMeta Platforms is enduring one of its most challenging years to date. Rivals are getting stronger, and metaverse efforts could work against the firm as interest rates soar, while expenditures add up.That said, the stock has already had the band-aid ripped off in one swift rip. It’s been such a painful decline that I do not think it will take much to move the needle higher again.Indeed, many fear that DAUs could be headed much lower from here. Although many Facebook critics may desire such, I don’t think the worthy FAANG member ought to be thrown out of the basket quite yet.The company has a lot to prove, and I have a feeling it’ll prove its doubters wrong, even in the face of a more challenging macro environment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9080493642,"gmtCreate":1649902933859,"gmtModify":1676534603455,"author":{"id":"3567935525237856","authorId":"3567935525237856","name":"WY92","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3567935525237856","authorIdStr":"3567935525237856"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeahh","listText":"Yeahh","text":"Yeahh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9080493642","repostId":"9016476123","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9016476123,"gmtCreate":1649229403658,"gmtModify":1676534474180,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"🏆【GAME】Hunting Eggs for Extra Saving!","htmlText":"Tiger has prepared some Easter gifts for you, please&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.tigerbrokers.com.sg/activity/market/2022/easter/\" target=\"_blank\">click&nbsp;here</a>&nbsp;to check them out!Easter can still be a bonus-boosting.

By comparison, Alphabet and Meta Platforms trade at 23 times and 20 times forward earnings, respectively.Sony trades at just 17 times forward earnings. That discount likely reflects the market's trepidation regarding Microsoft's Activision deal, the supply chain headwinds for its chip business, and its slower life insurance sales.Microsoft's stock is more expensive, but I think it's better to pay a premium for a high-quality business than to settle with a decent one in this wobbly market. Both stocks are still worth buying today, but I believe Microsoft will still outperform Sony -- as it did over the past five years -- once again in 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":448,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
