A year ago, the shares were around $2.</p>\n<p>Rival stocks like&nbsp;<b>Cinemark</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:CNK) and&nbsp;<b>IMAX</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:IMAX) also suffered. However, they fared better than AMC Entertainment. In fact, until recently the Street seemed ready to write off AMC stock on its way to bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>In early May, the theater group released&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;metrics. Management highlighted that as of March 31, “AMC was operating at 585 domestic theaters with limited seating capacities of between 15% and 60%, representing approximately 99% of domestic theaters.”</p>\n<p>During the quarter, AMC’s revenues declined about 84% year-over-year to $148 million. Net loss of $567 million was in fact an improvement, compared to $2.18 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, AMC burned through $313 million in cash.</p>\n<p>CEO Adam Aron commented, “Strengthening AMC’s liquidity position and balance sheet remains very high priorities, and we have been active across the board. Over the past five months, AMC has raised right around $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital, including the conversion of $600 million of convertible notes into equity at a price of $13.51 per share.”</p>\n<p>Since the release of the results, AMC stock has gone from around $10 to the current price of nearly $60. The market capitalization is close $29 billion. Its price-sales ratio of 24.2x points to a frothy valuation level. However, retail traders, fueled by the social media frenzy, seem to have made a handshake agreement to hold and not sell the shares.</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment Operates In a Stagnant Industry</b></p>\n<p>Now that the pandemic seems to be waning, the bull argument is that movie theaters are opening up and that AMC can gain back a significant portion of sales as its theaters reopen. A surge in moviegoers could, in fact, generate positive cash flow even if the company remains unprofitable.</p>\n<p>However, the pandemic has led to increasing uncertainty about the future of the movie theatre industry. According to&nbsp;IBISWorld, “The market size of the movie theaters industry in the U.S. has declined 19.1% per year on average between 2016 and 2021.”</p>\n<p>Put another way, the movie business was already struggling to generate profits before the pandemic as movie crowds were staying away. Movie tickets sold in the U.S. have been falling consistently since the 2002 peak of close to&nbsp;1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>Moreover, streaming got more popular than ever during the pandemic as the main form of entertainment at home. So far, despite the opening of the economy, many people seem to keep their streaming subscriptions. This would understandably constitute a significant headwind for theater operators like AMC, whose recovery will likely be capped by the overall downturn in the movie industry.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line on AMC Stock</b></p>\n<p>The $2 billion capital AMC has recently raised might offer some breathing space for recovery of operation in the coming months. However, AMC stock’s overvalued share price does not reflect an improvement in its underlying business. The company accumulated $5.5 billion in debt during the pandemic. Now, management has to sell new stock to pay it down.</p>\n<p>After weeks of meme stock action, retail investors still remain well-organized to keep the AMC stock price soaring. Every institutional sale has met consequent short-squeeze moves. However, close to&nbsp;23%&nbsp;of AMC shares are still sold short despite the meme stock buying frenzy.</p>\n<p>Therefore, AMC stock is likely to stay highly volatile in the near future and would be suitable only for speculators whose portfolios can handle such high risk/high return investments.

It may not be a bad idea given the current economic backdrop. While the global economy is coming out of a rough patch caused by the coronavirus contagion, inflation is popping up in a big way in certain areas. And while we don't know what the future holds, it certainly seems as if several growth-first companies have become a bit riskier as investments than they were just a few months back.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, here's a rundown of three great all-weather dividend stocks that should be able to push through whatever economic headwind awaits on the horizon. In no particular order...</p>\n<h2>1. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 2.2%</b></p>\n<p><b>JPMorgan Chase</b>'s (NYSE:JPM) current yield of 2.2% is healthy, but it's hardly head-turning. Income-seeking investors could certainly find names with bigger payouts right now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7177164a17e3f0ea9b7f34f50305791\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>But there's an important detail that's not evident in the yield alone. That's the rate at which the company <i>raises</i> its dividend. Over the course of the past 10 years, JPMorgan's quarterly payout has improved from $0.25 to $0.90 per share, growing at an annualized clip of 13.7%. That's huge.</p>\n<p>Be aware that this diversified banking and finance name trimmed its dividend pretty significantly in the wake of the subprime mortgage meltdown, and could certainly do so again should the company find itself in similar circumstances. After all, about half of its revenue is ultimately linked to interest rates.</p>\n<p>Even with inflationary pressures rising, however, a recreation of those unusual underpinnings isn't very likely. Then, interest rates were peeling back from above-average highs, sapping loan margins in addition to piling on costs linked to soured loans. Now, conversely, rates are hovering near record lows and poised to rise in a way that actually makes lending more profitable. A recession curbs the demand for loans, but shouldn't outright kill that demand unless economic weakness turns downright cataclysmic. In the meantime, the other half of JPMorgan's business comes from things like asset management, credit cards, investment banking, and even consumer banking. These businesses are pretty resilient even if they don't exactly thrive in a lethargic environment.</p>\n<h2>2. Hewlett Packard Enterprise</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.1%</b></p>\n<p>Would it surprise you to know that technology company <b>Hewlett Packard Enterprise</b> (NYSE:HPE) is a dividend stock? Well, it is, and a good <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> too. Sure, you can find higher yields, but they're not easy to find within the tech sector.</p>\n<p>This company is, of course, the business and enterprise-facing half of the 2016 split of what used to just be known as Hewlett Packard, with the other consumer-facing half going its separate way. Then in 2017, Hewlett Packard Enterprise spun off its services business to merge it with Computer Sciences Corp., further narrowing its portfolio.</p>\n<p>They've been smart moves. A tighter focus on each organization's core customer has ultimately produced greater success than was being achieved as a bigger, broader outfit.</p>\n<p>That's not always been easy to see, granted. Revenue and earnings have been just as apt to fall as to rise since the company as we know it today first took shape. The thing is, even after adjusting for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-off, non-operating expenses, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has never really struggled to make its quarterly dividend payment. The current annualized payout of $0.48 per share is only a fraction of the $1.88 (give or take a few cents) per share the company expects to report on a non-GAAP earnings basis for the current fiscal year.</p>\n<p>Hewlett Packard Enterprise may not be a major growth machine, but surprisingly enough, it's evolving into a picture of consistent progress as the cloud computing and edge computing markets mature.</p>\n<h2>3. The Coca-Cola Company</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3%</b></p>\n<p>Finally, add<b> Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) to your shortlist of dividend stocks to consider adding to your portfolio.</p>\n<p>Like most other consumer-oriented companies, Coca-Cola's been crimped by the coronavirus pandemic. Its challenges were more logistical in their nature than linked to a lack of demand. The ultimate impact is the same though. Last year's top line tumbled 11%, clipping earnings by a similar degree.</p>\n<p>Yes, the beverage behemoth will work its way out of the pandemic-prompted slump. As fellow Fool writer Parkev Tatevosian points out, Coca-Cola is apt to gain lost market share as the world reopens for business since consumers are more likely to drink a Coke outside of their home than they are within it.</p>\n<p>That's not necessarily the top reason to step into this trade while the yield's at a respectable 3%, however. More compelling is the fact that the noise -- and impact -- of the pandemic obscured the upside of moves that Coca-Cola has been making since 2014, and in a big way since 2017.

It may not be a bad idea given the current economic backdrop. While the global economy is coming out of a rough patch caused by the coronavirus contagion, inflation is popping up in a big way in certain areas. And while we don't know what the future holds, it certainly seems as if several growth-first companies have become a bit riskier as investments than they were just a few months back.\nWith this in mind, here's a rundown of three great all-weather dividend stocks that should be able to push through whatever economic headwind awaits on the horizon. In no particular order...\n1. JPMorgan Chase & Co.\nDividend yield: 2.2%\nJPMorgan Chase's (NYSE:JPM) current yield of 2.2% is healthy, but it's hardly head-turning. Income-seeking investors could certainly find names with bigger payouts right now.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut there's an important detail that's not evident in the yield alone. That's the rate at which the company raises its dividend. Over the course of the past 10 years, JPMorgan's quarterly payout has improved from $0.25 to $0.90 per share, growing at an annualized clip of 13.7%. That's huge.\nBe aware that this diversified banking and finance name trimmed its dividend pretty significantly in the wake of the subprime mortgage meltdown, and could certainly do so again should the company find itself in similar circumstances. After all, about half of its revenue is ultimately linked to interest rates.\nEven with inflationary pressures rising, however, a recreation of those unusual underpinnings isn't very likely. Then, interest rates were peeling back from above-average highs, sapping loan margins in addition to piling on costs linked to soured loans. Now, conversely, rates are hovering near record lows and poised to rise in a way that actually makes lending more profitable. A recession curbs the demand for loans, but shouldn't outright kill that demand unless economic weakness turns downright cataclysmic. In the meantime, the other half of JPMorgan's business comes from things like asset management, credit cards, investment banking, and even consumer banking. These businesses are pretty resilient even if they don't exactly thrive in a lethargic environment.\n2. Hewlett Packard Enterprise\nDividend yield: 3.1%\nWould it surprise you to know that technology company Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) is a dividend stock? Well, it is, and a good one too. Sure, you can find higher yields, but they're not easy to find within the tech sector.\nThis company is, of course, the business and enterprise-facing half of the 2016 split of what used to just be known as Hewlett Packard, with the other consumer-facing half going its separate way. Then in 2017, Hewlett Packard Enterprise spun off its services business to merge it with Computer Sciences Corp., further narrowing its portfolio.\nThey've been smart moves. A tighter focus on each organization's core customer has ultimately produced greater success than was being achieved as a bigger, broader outfit.\nThat's not always been easy to see, granted. Revenue and earnings have been just as apt to fall as to rise since the company as we know it today first took shape. The thing is, even after adjusting for one-off, non-operating expenses, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has never really struggled to make its quarterly dividend payment. The current annualized payout of $0.48 per share is only a fraction of the $1.88 (give or take a few cents) per share the company expects to report on a non-GAAP earnings basis for the current fiscal year.\nHewlett Packard Enterprise may not be a major growth machine, but surprisingly enough, it's evolving into a picture of consistent progress as the cloud computing and edge computing markets mature.\n3. The Coca-Cola Company\nDividend yield: 3%\nFinally, add Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) to your shortlist of dividend stocks to consider adding to your portfolio.\nLike most other consumer-oriented companies, Coca-Cola's been crimped by the coronavirus pandemic. Its challenges were more logistical in their nature than linked to a lack of demand. The ultimate impact is the same though. Last year's top line tumbled 11%, clipping earnings by a similar degree.\nYes, the beverage behemoth will work its way out of the pandemic-prompted slump. As fellow Fool writer Parkev Tatevosian points out, Coca-Cola is apt to gain lost market share as the world reopens for business since consumers are more likely to drink a Coke outside of their home than they are within it.\nThat's not necessarily the top reason to step into this trade while the yield's at a respectable 3%, however. More compelling is the fact that the noise -- and impact -- of the pandemic obscured the upside of moves that Coca-Cola has been making since 2014, and in a big way since 2017. Simply put, Coke has been stepping back from the bottling business by selling bottling operations back to franchisees so it can focus more on licensing. This diminishes revenue, but in that franchising and licensing is a (much) higher-margin business, the end result is greater overall profits.\nThis new and improved fiscal profile was just starting to come into view in 2020 when COVID-19 wrecked it. With the end of the pandemic in sight though, investors may be surprised to see just how well-suited Coca-Cola is for funding dividend payments.\nThen, of course, there's the fact that Coke hasn't failed to raise its dividend for 59 consecutive years now, putting it near the very top for longevity honors among all the Dividend Aristocrats.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169923124,"gmtCreate":1623813302368,"gmtModify":1703820281682,"author":{"id":"3578970706067814","authorId":"3578970706067814","name":"JairusAng","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578970706067814","authorIdStr":"3578970706067814"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169923124","repostId":"2143753069","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143753069","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1623810915,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143753069?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 10:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Supercharged Stocks That Can Make You a Millionaire","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143753069","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These innovative companies should deliver jaw-dropping long-term returns for patient investors.","content":"<p>Even though the major U.S. stock market indexes are within a stone's throw of an all-time high, history tells us that it's always a good time to put your money to work, as long as you're a long-term investor.

That's because unlike most social media destinations, its user growth hasn't hit a brick wall.

It's a platform where people willingly share the products, places, and services that interest them, which allows advertisers to effectively target their spending.

If a report from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data is correct, sales growth will average 21% through 2025. That makes U.S. multistate operator <b>Cresco Labs</b> (OTC:CRLBF) a potential millionaire-maker.</p>\n<p>Like it peers, Cresco Labs has a burgeoning retail presence. Taking into account its recently closed purchase of Bluma Wellness and its pending acquisition of Cultivate in Massachusetts, it'll soon have three dozen operating dispensaries and approximately <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> dozen additional retail licenses in its back pocket. Quite a few of the states Cresco is targeting, such as Illinois, are limited license issuers. This means they have a preset number of retail licenses they'll issue in total. In other words, targeting limited-license states will ensure that Cresco can build up its brand without getting steamrolled by a larger player with deep pockets.</p>\n<p>What's even more impressive about Cresco Labs is the company's wholesale operations. Wholesale often gets a bad rap in the cannabis industry because it generates lower margins than the retail side of things. However, Cresco offers more than enough volume to offset any margin weakness. That's because it holds one of only a small number of cannabis distribution licenses in California, the largest pot market in the world. Being able to place its pot products into more than 575 dispensaries in the Golden State makes wholesale Cresco's greatest asset.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F630591%2Fsquare-card-terminal.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>The War on Cash is alive and well, and fintech stock <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) is leading the charge. Even with a $100 billion market cap, it could reasonably deliver a 500% to 1,000% return over the next decade.</p>\n<p>First and foremost, Square generates consistent growth from its foundational seller ecosystem. This is a segment that provides point-of-sale devices, analytics, loans, and other tools to help businesses succeed. In the seven years leading up to the pandemic, the seller ecosystem's gross payment volume (GPV) rose by an annual average of 49% to $106 billion. Since this is a merchant fee-based segment, the fact that a larger percentage of GPV is now coming from bigger businesses is a good sign for continued double-digit annual GPV growth.</p>\n<p>However, most folks are enamored with peer-to-peer digital payment platform Cash App -- and for good reason. Square announced that, in three years, Cash App's MAU count more than quintupled to 36 million. Moreover, the company is generating $41 in gross profit per new user and paying less than $5 to attract each new MAU. Those are millionaire-making margins. With Cash App giving Square the ability to generate revenue from merchant transactions, bank transfers, investments, and even <b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;exchange, the sky's the limit.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d1c334ff649af837a64937769eca0be\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>EverQuote</h2>\n<p>Don't forget about small-cap stocks -- they can make you a millionaire, too. One fast-growing small-cap that finds itself in the perfect niche of a staple industry is <b>EverQuote</b> (NASDAQ:EVER).</p>\n<p>EverQuote operates an online insurance marketplace that allows consumers to compare policies. While insurance is a generally slow-growing (dare I say, boring?) industry, digital ad spending within the insurance industry is expanding quickly. Of the $16.7 billion in ad spending projected for 2021, $6.5 billion is digital spending. EverQuote solely operates in this digital ad space, which is expected to grow by an average annual rate of 16% through 2024.</p>\n<p>EverQuote's online marketplace is making the insurance buying and selling process so much more efficient. Consumers can do price-comparisons with the click of a button, while insurers can more effectively target their ad spend to motivated shoppers. Not surprisingly, 20% of all consumers who request a price comparison ultimately buy a policy through EverQuote's marketplace.</p>\n<p>As one final note, EverQuote has expanded beyond auto insurance into new verticals. These new verticals (home, rental, health, and life insurance) are growing at a considerably faster pace than its core auto insurance marketplace.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd67a054d6a438fccebe948326a3d8a8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Redfin.</span></p>\n<h2>Redfin</h2>\n<p>The fifth and final supercharged stock that can make you a millionaire is technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN).</p>\n<p>To cover the obvious, Redfin has absolutely benefited from historically low mortgage rates, which has fueled home buying and selling activity. But there's more to like here than just favorable external factors.</p>\n<p>For example, Redfin has differentiated itself in the cost-savings department. Redfin fully understands that it can woo its clients by saving them a boatload of money during the home purchase/selling process. That's because it charges a listing fee of between 1% and 1.5%, which is up to two percentage points lower than traditional real estate companies. Considering how quickly home prices are rising, the amount Redfin is saving buyers and sellers is growing almost daily.</p>\n<p>Real estate companies will also struggle to match the personalization that Redfin brings to the table. Its Concierge service helps with staging and upgrades to maximize the value of a home being sold. Meanwhile, RedfinNow allows the company to buy homes for cash, thereby removing the usual hassles and haggling that comes with selling a home.</p>\n<p>It should be no surprise that Redfin's share of U.S. existing home sales has nearly tripled (0.44% to 1.14%) since the end of 2015.</p>","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>5 Supercharged Stocks That Can Make You a Millionaire</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\">\n5 Supercharged Stocks That Can Make You a Millionaire\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/15/5-supercharged-stocks-can-make-you-a-millionaire/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Even though the major U.S. stock market indexes are within a stone's throw of an all-time high, history tells us that it's always a good time to put your money to work, as long as you're a long-term ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/15/5-supercharged-stocks-can-make-you-a-millionaire/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SQ":"Block","PINS":"Pinterest, Inc.","EVER":"Everquote Inc.","CRLBF":"Cresco Labs Inc.","RDFN":"Redfin Corp"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/15/5-supercharged-stocks-can-make-you-a-millionaire/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2143753069","content_text":"Even though the major U.S. stock market indexes are within a stone's throw of an all-time high, history tells us that it's always a good time to put your money to work, as long as you're a long-term investor.

In other words, targeting limited-license states will ensure that Cresco can build up its brand without getting steamrolled by a larger player with deep pockets.\nWhat's even more impressive about Cresco Labs is the company's wholesale operations. Wholesale often gets a bad rap in the cannabis industry because it generates lower margins than the retail side of things. However, Cresco offers more than enough volume to offset any margin weakness. That's because it holds one of only a small number of cannabis distribution licenses in California, the largest pot market in the world. Being able to place its pot products into more than 575 dispensaries in the Golden State makes wholesale Cresco's greatest asset.\nImage source: Square.\nSquare\nThe War on Cash is alive and well, and fintech stock Square (NYSE:SQ) is leading the charge. Even with a $100 billion market cap, it could reasonably deliver a 500% to 1,000% return over the next decade.\nFirst and foremost, Square generates consistent growth from its foundational seller ecosystem. This is a segment that provides point-of-sale devices, analytics, loans, and other tools to help businesses succeed. In the seven years leading up to the pandemic, the seller ecosystem's gross payment volume (GPV) rose by an annual average of 49% to $106 billion. Since this is a merchant fee-based segment, the fact that a larger percentage of GPV is now coming from bigger businesses is a good sign for continued double-digit annual GPV growth.\nHowever, most folks are enamored with peer-to-peer digital payment platform Cash App -- and for good reason. Square announced that, in three years, Cash App's MAU count more than quintupled to 36 million. Moreover, the company is generating $41 in gross profit per new user and paying less than $5 to attract each new MAU. Those are millionaire-making margins. With Cash App giving Square the ability to generate revenue from merchant transactions, bank transfers, investments, and even Bitcoin exchange, the sky's the limit.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nEverQuote\nDon't forget about small-cap stocks -- they can make you a millionaire, too. One fast-growing small-cap that finds itself in the perfect niche of a staple industry is EverQuote (NASDAQ:EVER).\nEverQuote operates an online insurance marketplace that allows consumers to compare policies. While insurance is a generally slow-growing (dare I say, boring?) industry, digital ad spending within the insurance industry is expanding quickly. Of the $16.7 billion in ad spending projected for 2021, $6.5 billion is digital spending. EverQuote solely operates in this digital ad space, which is expected to grow by an average annual rate of 16% through 2024.\nEverQuote's online marketplace is making the insurance buying and selling process so much more efficient. Consumers can do price-comparisons with the click of a button, while insurers can more effectively target their ad spend to motivated shoppers. Not surprisingly, 20% of all consumers who request a price comparison ultimately buy a policy through EverQuote's marketplace.\nAs one final note, EverQuote has expanded beyond auto insurance into new verticals. These new verticals (home, rental, health, and life insurance) are growing at a considerably faster pace than its core auto insurance marketplace.\nImage source: Redfin.\nRedfin\nThe fifth and final supercharged stock that can make you a millionaire is technology-driven real estate company Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN).\nTo cover the obvious, Redfin has absolutely benefited from historically low mortgage rates, which has fueled home buying and selling activity. But there's more to like here than just favorable external factors.\nFor example, Redfin has differentiated itself in the cost-savings department. Redfin fully understands that it can woo its clients by saving them a boatload of money during the home purchase/selling process. That's because it charges a listing fee of between 1% and 1.5%, which is up to two percentage points lower than traditional real estate companies. Considering how quickly home prices are rising, the amount Redfin is saving buyers and sellers is growing almost daily.\nReal estate companies will also struggle to match the personalization that Redfin brings to the table. Its Concierge service helps with staging and upgrades to maximize the value of a home being sold. Meanwhile, RedfinNow allows the company to buy homes for cash, thereby removing the usual hassles and haggling that comes with selling a home.\nIt should be no surprise that Redfin's share of U.S. existing home sales has nearly tripled (0.44% to 1.14%) since the end of 2015.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169929737,"gmtCreate":1623813276829,"gmtModify":1703820280872,"author":{"id":"3578970706067814","authorId":"3578970706067814","name":"JairusAng","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578970706067814","authorIdStr":"3578970706067814"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169929737","repostId":"1141264092","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141264092","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623811561,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141264092?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 10:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Fisker The Next Short Squeeze?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141264092","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nFSR is up 72% since my bullish call just a month ago.\nWith that sort of move, caution is wa","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>FSR is up 72% since my bullish call just a month ago.</li>\n <li>With that sort of move, caution is warranted on further gains.</li>\n <li>New fundamental developments lay out the future path for Fisker.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8cfc5757fb9bcd2dad4f529e916092c\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>jonathanfilskov-photography/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>The electric vehicle space has been, let’s say, volatile over the past year or so.

If shorts throw in the towel, Fisker could squeeze a lot higher than it is today. To be clear, I’m not saying Fisker is the next short squeeze, but what I am saying is that 45M shares short is roughly seven days’ worth of normal volume, so it’s significant.

The company ended the quarter with $985 million in cash, which is good enough for about 10 quarters at the current run rate; in Q1, the company spent $29 million on operating activities, and $66 million in capex.

Given this, I take them with a grain of salt. But on the plus side, Fisker has done essentially no advertising, and I’d be willing to bet the vast majority of Americans have no idea what Fisker is.

I’ll caveat that producing sub-$30k EVs is no small task because the batteries are very expensive. This is why others have struggled to do the same thing, and I have no reason to think Fisker won’t struggle as well. However, if the Ocean is a success, and provides the cash to develop PEAR, Fisker could be off to the races.
