  Great ariticle, would you like to share it?
  SoFi Technologies: Just Getting Started
  I going to make a greatest artwork as I can, by my head, my hand and by my mind. Introduction Back in November 2022, I laid out a bullish investment thesis for SoFi Technologies at ~$5.7 per share in "SoFi Q3: Another Great Quarter In The Books, Buy Now For 2023 And Beyond". And then once again highlighted SoFi as an emerging force in the banking & financial services industry and an outlier in an ailing sector in SoFi: The Only Bank You Want To Bank On Right Now in late June 2023. Since these bullish reports were published, SoFi's stock has rallied by ~101% and ~37%, respectively. In today's note, we shall review SoFi's Q2 2023 earnings report and re-evaluate its absolute valuation to see if the risk/reward dynamic still makes sense here. Without further ado, let's jump straight in!

While origination growth in the Personal loan segment (+51% y/y) was enough to offset weakness in the Student loan (-1% y/y) and Home loan (-27% y/y) segments, SoFi's non-interest income declined -30% y/y due to change in loan mix and lower take rates.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908493427179224.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908491869722688.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Fortunately, SoFi's Technology Platform and Financial Services segments reported strong performance during Q2:</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908523983637886.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>Twitter</span></p></figcaption></figure><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908457265342093.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>On these robust results, Anthony Noto, SoFi CEO, provided the following remarks:</p> <blockquote> <p>We delivered another quarter of record financial results and generated our ninth consecutive quarter of record adjusted net revenue, which was up 37% year-over-year. <strong>Record revenue at the company level was driven by record revenue in both our Technology Platform business segment and our Financial Services business segment</strong> coupled with continued strong Lending business segment revenue growth. We also generated our fourth consecutive quarter of record adjusted EBITDA of $77 million, representing a 43% incremental adjusted EBITDA margin and a 16% margin overall, as well as a 36% incremental GAAP net income margin</p> <p>Our record number of member additions and strong momentum in product and cross-buy adds, along with improving operating efficiency, reflects the benefits of our broad product suite and unique Financial Services Productivity Loop (FSPL) strategy. We added over 584,000 new members during the second quarter, and ended with over 6.2 million total members, up 44% year-over-year. We also added nearly 847,000 new products during the second quarter, and ended with over 9.4 million total products, a 43% annual increase.</p> <p><strong>Total deposits grew by $2.7 billion, up 26% during the second quarter to $12.7 billion at quarter end</strong>, and over 90% of SoFi Money deposits (inclusive of Checking and Savings and cash management accounts) are from direct deposit members. For new direct deposit accounts opened in the second quarter, the median FICO score was 747. More than half of newly funded SoFi Money accounts are setting up direct deposit by day 30, and this has had a significant impact on debit spending, with <strong>continued strong cross-buy trends</strong> from this attractive member base into Lending and other Financial Services products. With our launch of offering FDIC insurance of up to $2 million, nearly 98% of our deposits were insured at quarter end.</p> <p>As a result of this <strong>growth in high quality deposits</strong>, we have benefited from a <strong>lower cost of funding for our loans</strong>. <em>Our deposit funding also increases our flexibility to capture additional net interest margin [NIM] and optimize returns, a critical advantage in light of notable macro uncertainty.</em> SoFi Bank, N.A. generated $63.1 million of GAAP net income at a 17% margin.\"</p> <p>Source: SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release </p> </blockquote> <p>For FY-2023, SoFi increased its revenue guidance from $1.955-2.020B to $1.974-2.034B and raised the adj. EBITDA guide from $268-288M to $333-343M [adj. EBITDA margin: +17%]. While SoFi's revenue growth is set to slow down significantly in the back half of this year based on the current trajectory of deposit growth and loans held on its balance sheet, I think SoFi can continue to outperform expectations in upcoming quarters if the ABS (asset-backed securities) market opens up as interest rates stabilize.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908525908058891.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>As we know, the recent strength in SoFi's business has been driven by the structural benefits of its bank charter (attained in 2022), which has allowed the fintech company to raise deposits at low-interest rates [reducing capital costs for its lending activity]. As of Q2 2023, SoFi's deposit base stood at $12.7B, and this deposit base is providing SoFi the flexibility of holding loans on its balance sheet for a longer duration (as necessitated by the ongoing freeze-up in credit markets due to rapid changes in interest rates).</p> <p>In Q2, SoFi's \"Loans Held for Sale\" rose to $18.2B (up from $15.9B in Q1 2023). With SoFi's total loan originations of ~$4.4B in Q2, SoFi sold nearly $2B of loans from its balance sheet during this quarter. Given this sale activity, the ABS market seems to be opening up (unfreezing), and I view this data as a big positive for SoFi.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908530856500998.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation</span></p></figcaption></figure><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908531307884445.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Now, SoFi has the balance sheet strength to hold onto these loans to earn interest income; however, getting rid of these loans via securitization will unlock faster revenue growth in its lending business.</p> <p>While personal (unsecured) loans piling up on SoFi's balance sheet has been highlighted as a massive risk for SoFi, the strict credit standards at SoFi (Personal loan: Avg. FICO score is ~770, Annual Income &gt;$170K) should ensure that the default (delinquency) risk remains low in the future. As per SoFi's management, annualized net charge-offs on its personal loans book declined quarter-over-quarter to 2.94% in Q2 2023.</p> <p>In my view, SoFi's business momentum is incredible, and financial performance in the second half of 2023 is likely to remain strong given the impending end of the Student loan moratorium is expected to drive a flurry of refinancing activity that will boost SoFi's student loan refinancing business. According to SoFi's management, the company is set to become GAAP profitable in Q4 2023, and I think that would be a remarkable feat to end this incredible year on a high note. With all three of SoFi's segments set to reach adj. EBITDA profitability by the end of 2023, I think our cross-buying-centered investment thesis for SoFi has never been stronger.</p> <p>In summary, SoFi's Q2 2023 report was yet another conviction booster. However, let's evaluate SoFi's long-term risk/reward before making an informed investing decision.</p> <h2>SoFi's Fair Value And Expected Return</h2> <p>To determine the fair value and expected return of SoFi, we will use TQI's Valuation model with the following assumptions:</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908254249540505.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>TQI Valuation Model <span>(TQIG.org)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>According to TQI's valuation model, SoFi is now worth $13.99 per share (up from my previous estimate of $11.75 per share). With SOFI trading at ~$11.40 per share, I see another ~20-25% upside to fair value from current levels. Hence, investors buying here are getting a sizeable discount on SOFI.</p> <p>Now, let's consider the long-term reward potential by looking at a range of expected outcomes for SOFI assuming an exit multiple of 15-25x P/FCF:</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/7/31/51572009-16908254604819396.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>TQI Valuation Model <span>(TQIG.org)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In the base case scenario, SoFi's stock could be trading at $26.78 per share five years from now, which would imply a ~18.63% CAGR return from current levels.

Introduction Back in November 2022, I laid out a bullish investment thesis for SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) at ~$5.7 per share in \"SoFi Q3: Another Great Quarter In The Books, Buy Now For 2023 And Beyond\". And then once again highlighted SoFi as an emerging force in the banking & financial services industry and an outlier in an ailing sector in SoFi: The Only Bank You Want To Bank On Right Now in late June 2023. Since these bullish reports were published, SoFi's stock has rallied by ~101% and ~37%, respectively. In today's note, we shall review SoFi's Q2 2023 earnings report and re-evaluate its absolute valuation to see if the risk/reward dynamic still makes sense here. Without further ado, let's jump straight in! Reviewing SoFi's Q2 2023 Earnings Report On 31st July 2023, SoFi released a robust set of financial numbers for Q2'23:  Adj. net GAAP revenues of $489M (up +37% y/y) [vs. est. $473.5M] Adj. EBITDA of $77M (up 285% y/y) (adj. EBITDA margin: 16%) Diluted EPS -0.06 [vs. est. -0.07] Members: 6.240M [584K added in Q2 2023] (up 44% y/y)    SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation  SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation Despite facing a challenging macroeconomic environment, SoFi's lending business (revenue: $257M [+29% y/y]) held up strong in Q2 2023, with strong growth in net interest income (+103% y/y) and robust loan origination growth (+37% y/y). While origination growth in the Personal loan segment (+51% y/y) was enough to offset weakness in the Student loan (-1% y/y) and Home loan (-27% y/y) segments, SoFi's non-interest income declined -30% y/y due to change in loan mix and lower take rates.   SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release   SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release Fortunately, SoFi's Technology Platform and Financial Services segments reported strong performance during Q2:   Twitter  SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation On these robust results, Anthony Noto, SoFi CEO, provided the following remarks:  We delivered another quarter of record financial results and generated our ninth consecutive quarter of record adjusted net revenue, which was up 37% year-over-year. Record revenue at the company level was driven by record revenue in both our Technology Platform business segment and our Financial Services business segment coupled with continued strong Lending business segment revenue growth. We also generated our fourth consecutive quarter of record adjusted EBITDA of $77 million, representing a 43% incremental adjusted EBITDA margin and a 16% margin overall, as well as a 36% incremental GAAP net income margin Our record number of member additions and strong momentum in product and cross-buy adds, along with improving operating efficiency, reflects the benefits of our broad product suite and unique Financial Services Productivity Loop (FSPL) strategy. We added over 584,000 new members during the second quarter, and ended with over 6.2 million total members, up 44% year-over-year. We also added nearly 847,000 new products during the second quarter, and ended with over 9.4 million total products, a 43% annual increase. Total deposits grew by $2.7 billion, up 26% during the second quarter to $12.7 billion at quarter end, and over 90% of SoFi Money deposits (inclusive of Checking and Savings and cash management accounts) are from direct deposit members. For new direct deposit accounts opened in the second quarter, the median FICO score was 747. More than half of newly funded SoFi Money accounts are setting up direct deposit by day 30, and this has had a significant impact on debit spending, with continued strong cross-buy trends from this attractive member base into Lending and other Financial Services products. With our launch of offering FDIC insurance of up to $2 million, nearly 98% of our deposits were insured at quarter end. As a result of this growth in high quality deposits, we have benefited from a lower cost of funding for our loans. Our deposit funding also increases our flexibility to capture additional net interest margin [NIM] and optimize returns, a critical advantage in light of notable macro uncertainty. SoFi Bank, N.A. generated $63.1 million of GAAP net income at a 17% margin.\" Source: SoFi Q2 2023 Earnings Press Release   For FY-2023, SoFi increased its revenue guidance from $1.955-2.020B to $1.974-2.034B and raised the adj. EBITDA guide from $268-288M to $333-343M [adj. EBITDA margin: +17%]. While SoFi's revenue growth is set to slow down significantly in the back half of this year based on the current trajectory of deposit growth and loans held on its balance sheet, I think SoFi can continue to outperform expectations in upcoming quarters if the ABS (asset-backed securities) market opens up as interest rates stabilize.   SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation As we know, the recent strength in SoFi's business has been driven by the structural benefits of its bank charter (attained in 2022), which has allowed the fintech company to raise deposits at low-interest rates [reducing capital costs for its lending activity]. As of Q2 2023, SoFi's deposit base stood at $12.7B, and this deposit base is providing SoFi the flexibility of holding loans on its balance sheet for a longer duration (as necessitated by the ongoing freeze-up in credit markets due to rapid changes in interest rates). In Q2, SoFi's \"Loans Held for Sale\" rose to $18.2B (up from $15.9B in Q1 2023). With SoFi's total loan originations of ~$4.4B in Q2, SoFi sold nearly $2B of loans from its balance sheet during this quarter. Given this sale activity, the ABS market seems to be opening up (unfreezing), and I view this data as a big positive for SoFi.   SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation  SoFi Q2 2023 Investor Presentation Now, SoFi has the balance sheet strength to hold onto these loans to earn interest income; however, getting rid of these loans via securitization will unlock faster revenue growth in its lending business. While personal (unsecured) loans piling up on SoFi's balance sheet has been highlighted as a massive risk for SoFi, the strict credit standards at SoFi (Personal loan: Avg. FICO score is ~770, Annual Income >$170K) should ensure that the default (delinquency) risk remains low in the future. As per SoFi's management, annualized net charge-offs on its personal loans book declined quarter-over-quarter to 2.94% in Q2 2023. In my view, SoFi's business momentum is incredible, and financial performance in the second half of 2023 is likely to remain strong given the impending end of the Student loan moratorium is expected to drive a flurry of refinancing activity that will boost SoFi's student loan refinancing business. According to SoFi's management, the company is set to become GAAP profitable in Q4 2023, and I think that would be a remarkable feat to end this incredible year on a high note. With all three of SoFi's segments set to reach adj. EBITDA profitability by the end of 2023, I think our cross-buying-centered investment thesis for SoFi has never been stronger. In summary, SoFi's Q2 2023 report was yet another conviction booster. However, let's evaluate SoFi's long-term risk/reward before making an informed investing decision. SoFi's Fair Value And Expected Return To determine the fair value and expected return of SoFi, we will use TQI's Valuation model with the following assumptions:   TQI Valuation Model (TQIG.org) According to TQI's valuation model, SoFi is now worth $13.99 per share (up from my previous estimate of $11.75 per share). With SOFI trading at ~$11.40 per share, I see another ~20-25% upside to fair value from current levels. Hence, investors buying here are getting a sizeable discount on SOFI. Now, let's consider the long-term reward potential by looking at a range of expected outcomes for SOFI assuming an exit multiple of 15-25x P/FCF:   TQI Valuation Model (TQIG.org) In the base case scenario, SoFi's stock could be trading at $26.78 per share five years from now, which would imply a ~18.63% CAGR return from current levels. While these projected returns are slightly lower than our investment hurdle rate of 20% for high-growth stocks, they remain well above long-term equity market returns of ~10%. Given conservative modeling assumptions, I still think SoFi is a decent buy at $11.40 per share in light of Q2 earnings. Key Takeaway: I rate SoFi a modest \"Buy\" at $11.40 per share, with a preference for staggered accumulation using a 6-12 month DCA plan.  As always, thank you for reading, and happy investing.

The reasons for a pullback are many: The stock market has rallied for too long and has gone up too smoothly, the Federal Reserve is about to remove the bond buying that has helped prop markets up, taxes are ready to rise, economic data are slowing. None of it really left a mark.</p>\n<p>But then the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;dropped 0.6%, to 4432.99, over the week, while the&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;fell 0.1%, to 34,584.88, and the&nbsp;Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;slumped 0.5%, to 15,043.97.

The S&amp;P 500’s sojourn near the 50-day has been longer, notes Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at Bay Crest Partners. It’s been sitting near it for about six trading days now, without a big drop or big bounce. “The current set-up looks a bit more like a consolidation on the 50 DMA, as opposed to the prior quick ‘V-shaped’ dips,” Krinsky writes. “What we are saying is that the current way in which we got here feels a bit different than the last four to five times.”</p>\n<p>Still, Krinsky acknowledges that one close below the 50-day isn’t enough to panic. That’s because the S&amp;P 500 has now gone 218 days without two closes below the average, the second-longest streak since 1990. We won’t know if that streak breaks until the end of trading on Monday.</p>\n<p>The market has plenty of excuses to break the 50-day, if it’s so inclined. Maybe Evergrande (ticker: 3333.Hong Kong), the troubled Chinese property developer, will prove to be a Lehman moment and bring the world’s markets down with it. Maybe the Fed will surprise everyone and start tapering this coming week. Maybe something is lurking out there like the Baba Yaga of the old fairy tales, and maybe it looks a lot like Keanu Reeves.</p>\n<p>But perhaps all the September weakness and worry are a good thing, setting the market up for its next run. “The ACWI is oversold again, and sentiment is not too optimistic,” writes Ned Davis Research’s Tim Hayes, commenting on the MSCI All-Country World Index. “The market’s resilience in the face of the negative September seasonality could be the preview of a bullish response to seasonal tendencies that turn favorable in the fourth quarter.”</p>\n<p>We just have to get there first.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>The One Indicator That Has Wall Street Biting Its Nails</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\">\nThe One Indicator That Has Wall Street Biting Its Nails\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-20 10:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/stock-market-falls-because-theres-something-scarier-than-taxes-tapers-and-contagion-51631925838?mod=hp_DAY_7><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Wall Street has found something scarier than tapering,axes,and contagion.

The S&P 500’s sojourn near the 50-day has been longer, notes Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at Bay Crest Partners. It’s been sitting near it for about six trading days now, without a big drop or big bounce. “The current set-up looks a bit more like a consolidation on the 50 DMA, as opposed to the prior quick ‘V-shaped’ dips,” Krinsky writes. “What we are saying is that the current way in which we got here feels a bit different than the last four to five times.”\nStill, Krinsky acknowledges that one close below the 50-day isn’t enough to panic. That’s because the S&P 500 has now gone 218 days without two closes below the average, the second-longest streak since 1990. We won’t know if that streak breaks until the end of trading on Monday.\nThe market has plenty of excuses to break the 50-day, if it’s so inclined. Maybe Evergrande (ticker: 3333.Hong Kong), the troubled Chinese property developer, will prove to be a Lehman moment and bring the world’s markets down with it. Maybe the Fed will surprise everyone and start tapering this coming week. Maybe something is lurking out there like the Baba Yaga of the old fairy tales, and maybe it looks a lot like Keanu Reeves.\nBut perhaps all the September weakness and worry are a good thing, setting the market up for its next run. “The ACWI is oversold again, and sentiment is not too optimistic,” writes Ned Davis Research’s Tim Hayes, commenting on the MSCI All-Country World Index. “The market’s resilience in the face of the negative September seasonality could be the preview of a bullish response to seasonal tendencies that turn favorable in the fourth quarter.”\nWe just have to get there first.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":433,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898562787,"gmtCreate":1628511934849,"gmtModify":1703507304491,"author":{"id":"3569229581224836","authorId":"3569229581224836","name":"Rurulz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09fba295568949361ca317d20e5a600b","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569229581224836","authorIdStr":"3569229581224836"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIOT\">$Riot Blockchain, Inc.(RIOT)$</a>how I wishhh","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIOT\">$Riot Blockchain, Inc.(RIOT)$</a>how I wishhh","text":"$Riot Blockchain, Inc.(RIOT)$how I wishhh","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb111d7acf92dbbfece453a2881c5d75","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898562787","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":592,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804058897,"gmtCreate":1627913375319,"gmtModify":1703497787827,"author":{"id":"3569229581224836","authorId":"3569229581224836","name":"Rurulz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09fba295568949361ca317d20e5a600b","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569229581224836","authorIdStr":"3569229581224836"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XCUR\">$Exicure, Inc.(XCUR)$</a>woot woot!&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XCUR\">$Exicure, Inc.(XCUR)$</a>woot woot!&nbsp;","text":"$Exicure, Inc.(XCUR)$woot woot!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804058897","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808669323,"gmtCreate":1627574160062,"gmtModify":1703492751862,"author":{"id":"3569229581224836","authorId":"3569229581224836","name":"Rurulz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09fba295568949361ca317d20e5a600b","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569229581224836","authorIdStr":"3569229581224836"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yassss","listText":"Yassss","text":"Yassss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808669323","repostId":"2155290035","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155290035","pubTimestamp":1627564527,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155290035?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 21:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Stock Market Myths to Abandon if You Actually Want to Make Money","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155290035","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It might be worth revisiting some of the \"common knowledge\" assumptions about how things really work.","content":"<p>Has the stock market not behaved quite as you expected?
