But don't let this distract from the fact that the iconic <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> (DJINDICES:^DJI) has had a stellar year. Through this past weekend, the price-weighted index comprised of 30 multinational companies was up about 13%.</p>\n<p>But just because the Dow, as a whole, has done well in 2021, it doesn't mean bargains can't be found. At the moment, there are three Dow stocks absolutely begging to be bought by growth, value, or income investors in December.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/789196b3d59ea758b03121ea67790d5a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>For growth investors, there's little question that the Dow stock to back the truck up on in December is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solution provider <b>Salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>Like most growth stocks that have been valued at a premium, Salesforce took it on the chin following its fiscal third quarter 2022 operating results, which were released last week. Though Wall Street seemed pleased with the recently completed quarter, the company's sales guidance for fiscal 2023 was essentially in-line with expectations. Since Salesforce has a habit of upping its sales forecast, investors appear worried about a growth slowdown and/or higher near-term costs associated with the recently completed <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a> acquisition.</p>\n<p>While these might sound like tangible concerns, they're very short-sighted and don't affect the long-term growth trajectory for Salesforce.</p>\n<p>CRM software is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity through at least the midpoint of this decade, if not well beyond. CRM software, which helps consumer-facing businesses enhance existing client relationships and improve sales, is a no-brainer solution for most service industry companies, but is quickly gaining utility in the financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.</p>\n<p>Salesforce sits on a pedestal within the CRM software space, and no other company even comes close. When IDC examined global CRM spending for 2020, it found that Salesforce accounted for 19.5% of worldwide revenue. That's more than the four closest competitors behind it on a combined basis. This suggests the company isn't going to lose its competitive edge anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Growth investors will also appreciate CEO Marc Benioff's penchant for acquisitions. Key buyouts, such as MuleSoft, Tableau, and Slack, have expanded the usefulness of the Salesforce ecosystem, allowed the company to cross-sell its solutions on diverse platforms, and helped it reach a wider array of small-and-medium-sized businesses.</p>\n<p>With Benioff expecting full-year sales to grow from $21.3 billion to at least $50 billion in a five-year stretch, any significant pullback in Salesforce's shares represents a surefire buying opportunity.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/467adad2d31104b83afa51e5b1425137\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Merck</h2>\n<p>Value investors, this one's for you! Following a nearly 20% sell-off over the past month, shares of pharmaceutical stock <b>Merck</b> (NYSE:MRK) are now begging to be bought.</p>\n<p>\"Why the sell-off?\" you ask? The answer probably has to do with the early November-released trial results of <b>Pfizer</b>'s (NYSE:PFE) COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment. Based on an interim analysis of a phase 2/3 trial, this oral treatment reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in non-hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Merck's oral COVID-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50% in COVID-19 patients.&nbsp; Though these treatments weren't pitted head-to-head, the nominal efficacy award looks to go to Pfizer -- at least based on how investors have reacted since the data release.</p>\n<p>But here's the thing: Merck was worth buying well before it delivered encouraging phase 3 results from its oral antiviral study in COVID-19 patients. In fact, COVID-19 treatments don't even need to play a role for Merck to head higher, in my opinion.</p>\n<p>The front-and-center reason to be excited about Merck's future is cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. Based on the $4.53 billion in sales generated from Keytruda in the third quarter, it's on pace for more than $18 billion in annual run-rate revenue. If we exclude COVID-19 vaccines, this would make it the second best-selling drug in the world, behind only anti-inflammatory drug Humira. Keytruda is being examined in a number of additional trials (mostly as a combination treatment), which could further expand its label and make it the top-selling non-vaccine drug in the world.</p>\n<p>The other exciting growth trend Merck offers is its animal health division. Its focus on both livestock and companion animals has yielded consistent double-digit sales growth. But between the two, companion animals, such as cats and dogs, offer more upside. Year-over-year spending on pets in the U.S. hasn't declined in over a quarter of a century, and pet owners have shown they'll spend whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of their furry family members.</p>\n<p>Following its recent tumble, Merck shares are now valued at a multiple of just 10 times Wall Street's forecasted earnings per share in 2022. That's a bargain for a company delivering steady sales growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb0880fa9f40b9af4d310e1390a18754\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Verizon</h2>\n<p>Finally, for income investors, the third Dow stock begging to be bought in December is telecom behemoth <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ). Shares are down a hair over 10% in the trailing six-month period.</p>\n<p>There look to be two reasons why Verizon is down on its luck in recent months.

But don't let this distract from the fact that the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) has had a stellar year. Through this past weekend, the price-weighted index comprised of 30 multinational companies was up about 13%.\nBut just because the Dow, as a whole, has done well in 2021, it doesn't mean bargains can't be found. At the moment, there are three Dow stocks absolutely begging to be bought by growth, value, or income investors in December.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nFor growth investors, there's little question that the Dow stock to back the truck up on in December is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solution provider Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).\nLike most growth stocks that have been valued at a premium, Salesforce took it on the chin following its fiscal third quarter 2022 operating results, which were released last week. Though Wall Street seemed pleased with the recently completed quarter, the company's sales guidance for fiscal 2023 was essentially in-line with expectations. Since Salesforce has a habit of upping its sales forecast, investors appear worried about a growth slowdown and/or higher near-term costs associated with the recently completed Slack Technologies acquisition.\nWhile these might sound like tangible concerns, they're very short-sighted and don't affect the long-term growth trajectory for Salesforce.\nCRM software is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity through at least the midpoint of this decade, if not well beyond. CRM software, which helps consumer-facing businesses enhance existing client relationships and improve sales, is a no-brainer solution for most service industry companies, but is quickly gaining utility in the financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.\nSalesforce sits on a pedestal within the CRM software space, and no other company even comes close. When IDC examined global CRM spending for 2020, it found that Salesforce accounted for 19.5% of worldwide revenue. That's more than the four closest competitors behind it on a combined basis. This suggests the company isn't going to lose its competitive edge anytime soon.\nGrowth investors will also appreciate CEO Marc Benioff's penchant for acquisitions. Key buyouts, such as MuleSoft, Tableau, and Slack, have expanded the usefulness of the Salesforce ecosystem, allowed the company to cross-sell its solutions on diverse platforms, and helped it reach a wider array of small-and-medium-sized businesses.\nWith Benioff expecting full-year sales to grow from $21.3 billion to at least $50 billion in a five-year stretch, any significant pullback in Salesforce's shares represents a surefire buying opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMerck\nValue investors, this one's for you! Following a nearly 20% sell-off over the past month, shares of pharmaceutical stock Merck (NYSE:MRK) are now begging to be bought.\n\"Why the sell-off?\" you ask? The answer probably has to do with the early November-released trial results of Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment. Based on an interim analysis of a phase 2/3 trial, this oral treatment reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in non-hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Merck's oral COVID-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50% in COVID-19 patients.  Though these treatments weren't pitted head-to-head, the nominal efficacy award looks to go to Pfizer -- at least based on how investors have reacted since the data release.\nBut here's the thing: Merck was worth buying well before it delivered encouraging phase 3 results from its oral antiviral study in COVID-19 patients. In fact, COVID-19 treatments don't even need to play a role for Merck to head higher, in my opinion.\nThe front-and-center reason to be excited about Merck's future is cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. Based on the $4.53 billion in sales generated from Keytruda in the third quarter, it's on pace for more than $18 billion in annual run-rate revenue. If we exclude COVID-19 vaccines, this would make it the second best-selling drug in the world, behind only anti-inflammatory drug Humira. Keytruda is being examined in a number of additional trials (mostly as a combination treatment), which could further expand its label and make it the top-selling non-vaccine drug in the world.\nThe other exciting growth trend Merck offers is its animal health division. Its focus on both livestock and companion animals has yielded consistent double-digit sales growth. But between the two, companion animals, such as cats and dogs, offer more upside. Year-over-year spending on pets in the U.S. hasn't declined in over a quarter of a century, and pet owners have shown they'll spend whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of their furry family members.\nFollowing its recent tumble, Merck shares are now valued at a multiple of just 10 times Wall Street's forecasted earnings per share in 2022. That's a bargain for a company delivering steady sales growth.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nVerizon\nFinally, for income investors, the third Dow stock begging to be bought in December is telecom behemoth Verizon (NYSE:VZ). Shares are down a hair over 10% in the trailing six-month period.\nThere look to be two reasons why Verizon is down on its luck in recent months. First, investors have predominantly favored growth stocks over mature income plays. And second, Verizon has had to spend big on spectrum and infrastructure upgrades, which means it's carrying around quite a bit of debt. This debt could be keeping some investors on the sideline.\nBut similar to Salesforce, the worries surrounding Verizon look to be either overblown or short-term in nature. The company has generated over $40 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, and its dividend payout ratio is below 50%. Based on its balance sheet, Verizon's 5% yield is sustainable and its debt servicing is manageable.\nDespite being a mature business, Verizon has two organic growth catalysts that could fuel modest upside through mid-decade. First, there's the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were meaningfully improved. The rollout of 5G should lead to a multiyear device upgrade cycle with a steady increase in data consumption. Since data is where Verizon derives its juiciest wireless margins, 5G infrastructure investments should begin paying off handsomely very soon.\nThe other key growth driver for Verizon is in-home fixed wireless broadband services. Verizon has been an aggressive acquirer of 5G mid-band spectrum in 2021. The expectation is that Verizon can double the number of households it's servicing with fixed wireless broadband services from 15 million in 2021 to 30 million by the end of 2023.\nVerizon may not be the growth story it once was, but a 5% dividend yield and price-to-earnings ratio of a little over nine make it ripe for the picking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":666,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":606561401,"gmtCreate":1638894810223,"gmtModify":1638894810306,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3563080940277680","idStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/606561401","repostId":"2189476639","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2189476639","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638885035,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2189476639?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-07 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Dow Stocks Begging to Be Bought in December","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2189476639","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Growth, value, and income investors all have a stock that's ripe for the picking.","content":"<p>As you've probably noticed, volatility has picked up in a big way over the past two weeks.

But don't let this distract from the fact that the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) has had a stellar year. Through this past weekend, the price-weighted index comprised of 30 multinational companies was up about 13%.\nBut just because the Dow, as a whole, has done well in 2021, it doesn't mean bargains can't be found. At the moment, there are three Dow stocks absolutely begging to be bought by growth, value, or income investors in December.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nFor growth investors, there's little question that the Dow stock to back the truck up on in December is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solution provider Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).\nLike most growth stocks that have been valued at a premium, Salesforce took it on the chin following its fiscal third quarter 2022 operating results, which were released last week. Though Wall Street seemed pleased with the recently completed quarter, the company's sales guidance for fiscal 2023 was essentially in-line with expectations. Since Salesforce has a habit of upping its sales forecast, investors appear worried about a growth slowdown and/or higher near-term costs associated with the recently completed Slack Technologies acquisition.\nWhile these might sound like tangible concerns, they're very short-sighted and don't affect the long-term growth trajectory for Salesforce.\nCRM software is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity through at least the midpoint of this decade, if not well beyond. CRM software, which helps consumer-facing businesses enhance existing client relationships and improve sales, is a no-brainer solution for most service industry companies, but is quickly gaining utility in the financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.\nSalesforce sits on a pedestal within the CRM software space, and no other company even comes close. When IDC examined global CRM spending for 2020, it found that Salesforce accounted for 19.5% of worldwide revenue. That's more than the four closest competitors behind it on a combined basis. This suggests the company isn't going to lose its competitive edge anytime soon.\nGrowth investors will also appreciate CEO Marc Benioff's penchant for acquisitions. Key buyouts, such as MuleSoft, Tableau, and Slack, have expanded the usefulness of the Salesforce ecosystem, allowed the company to cross-sell its solutions on diverse platforms, and helped it reach a wider array of small-and-medium-sized businesses.\nWith Benioff expecting full-year sales to grow from $21.3 billion to at least $50 billion in a five-year stretch, any significant pullback in Salesforce's shares represents a surefire buying opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMerck\nValue investors, this one's for you! Following a nearly 20% sell-off over the past month, shares of pharmaceutical stock Merck (NYSE:MRK) are now begging to be bought.\n\"Why the sell-off?\" you ask? The answer probably has to do with the early November-released trial results of Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment. Based on an interim analysis of a phase 2/3 trial, this oral treatment reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in non-hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Merck's oral COVID-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50% in COVID-19 patients.  Though these treatments weren't pitted head-to-head, the nominal efficacy award looks to go to Pfizer -- at least based on how investors have reacted since the data release.\nBut here's the thing: Merck was worth buying well before it delivered encouraging phase 3 results from its oral antiviral study in COVID-19 patients. In fact, COVID-19 treatments don't even need to play a role for Merck to head higher, in my opinion.\nThe front-and-center reason to be excited about Merck's future is cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. Based on the $4.53 billion in sales generated from Keytruda in the third quarter, it's on pace for more than $18 billion in annual run-rate revenue. If we exclude COVID-19 vaccines, this would make it the second best-selling drug in the world, behind only anti-inflammatory drug Humira. Keytruda is being examined in a number of additional trials (mostly as a combination treatment), which could further expand its label and make it the top-selling non-vaccine drug in the world.\nThe other exciting growth trend Merck offers is its animal health division. Its focus on both livestock and companion animals has yielded consistent double-digit sales growth. But between the two, companion animals, such as cats and dogs, offer more upside. Year-over-year spending on pets in the U.S. hasn't declined in over a quarter of a century, and pet owners have shown they'll spend whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of their furry family members.\nFollowing its recent tumble, Merck shares are now valued at a multiple of just 10 times Wall Street's forecasted earnings per share in 2022. That's a bargain for a company delivering steady sales growth.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nVerizon\nFinally, for income investors, the third Dow stock begging to be bought in December is telecom behemoth Verizon (NYSE:VZ). Shares are down a hair over 10% in the trailing six-month period.\nThere look to be two reasons why Verizon is down on its luck in recent months. First, investors have predominantly favored growth stocks over mature income plays. And second, Verizon has had to spend big on spectrum and infrastructure upgrades, which means it's carrying around quite a bit of debt. This debt could be keeping some investors on the sideline.\nBut similar to Salesforce, the worries surrounding Verizon look to be either overblown or short-term in nature. The company has generated over $40 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, and its dividend payout ratio is below 50%. Based on its balance sheet, Verizon's 5% yield is sustainable and its debt servicing is manageable.\nDespite being a mature business, Verizon has two organic growth catalysts that could fuel modest upside through mid-decade. First, there's the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were meaningfully improved. The rollout of 5G should lead to a multiyear device upgrade cycle with a steady increase in data consumption. Since data is where Verizon derives its juiciest wireless margins, 5G infrastructure investments should begin paying off handsomely very soon.\nThe other key growth driver for Verizon is in-home fixed wireless broadband services. Verizon has been an aggressive acquirer of 5G mid-band spectrum in 2021. The expectation is that Verizon can double the number of households it's servicing with fixed wireless broadband services from 15 million in 2021 to 30 million by the end of 2023.\nVerizon may not be the growth story it once was, but a 5% dividend yield and price-to-earnings ratio of a little over nine make it ripe for the picking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":826,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":860840846,"gmtCreate":1632155331185,"gmtModify":1632802441584,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3563080940277680","idStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/860840846","repostId":"1124728794","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124728794","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

At the same time, through a range of ventures, Alibaba is also active in additional industries, such as cloud computing. Shares have declined considerably over the last couple of months, but I believe that the long-term potential is significant. I would not be surprised to see shares rise towards $500, although that will not happen in the near term.</p>\n<p><b>BABA Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Since its IPO, Alibaba has seen strong share price gains, but it should also be mentioned that shares did peek in H2 2020, and have declined considerably since then:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8079eeb5384ea003fb3725d3cd1e877f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares are now basically where they were one year ago, as the gains during summer 2020 have been erased when Ant Financial's IPO plans were stopped. The flat share price performance over the last year is somewhat surprising, though, as Alibaba continued to generate strong results in that time frame. During the last quarter, for example, Alibaba showcased a&nbsp;revenue growth rate of 64%, while revenue growth during the previous quarter was also very strong, at around 50%. This is not the only positive in Alibaba's earnings releases, however. The company also managed to grow its user count by 32 million during the most recent quarter alone, which equates to an annualized user growth rate of around 20%. This bodes well for future quarters, as more users on Alibaba's platform should translate into higher revenues. On top of that, the strong user growth shows that there is still growing demand for the shopping services that Alibaba's platforms offer -- the market is not saturated at all. Alibaba also managed to grow its EBITDA by 25% year over year, which is an attractive growth pace as well, and which was achieved despite growing investments in what management calls key growth areas. Income from operations, meanwhile, grew at an even faster pace, thanks to some operating leverage, rising by 48% year over year when adjusted for the fine that Alibaba had to pay during Q1. It makes, I believe, sense to back out this one-time item to get a clearer picture about Alibaba's underlying, \"core\" profitability during an average quarter.</p>\n<p>Alibaba Group's weak share price performance, relative to the broad market and other tech names, is thus not the result of weak operating performance, but rather a result of multiple compression, driven by weak investor sentiment due to China exposure and&nbsp;fears about regulation.</p>\n<p>At its current price of $220, BABA trades at a quite large discount compared to the current consensus analyst price target of $298. If Alibaba were to hit that, shares would gain 35%. Analyst price targets are usually issued with a 1-year time frame, thus, if the analyst community is correct, Alibaba could be a great investment. From a valuation standpoint, this price target doesn't seem outrageous at all, as $298 would equate to around 29x this year's expected net profits, or 23x next year's net earnings. The latter is likely the more telling one when we talk about a price target for summer 2022, i.e. 1 year from now.</p>\n<p><b>Can Alibaba Stock Hit $500?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that question, I think, depends on your time frame. If you are looking at a 12-month window, then Alibaba will most likely not be able to hit $500. The ~$300 price target seems achievable, although that is, of course, also not guaranteed. If, however, we take a longer-term view, then $500 seems like a share price that BABA could hit eventually. Let's look at a couple of examples.</p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $20 at some point and traded at an earnings multiple of 25, then shares would trade at $500.</i></p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $25 and traded at a 20x earnings multiple, then shares would trade at $500.</i></p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $17 and traded at 29x its net profits, then shares would trade at (marginally below) $500.</i></p>\n<p>We see that there are many scenarios that could get us to a $500 share price for BABA, some of them more likely than others. Of course, the higher your target multiple, the lower the earnings that would be required. This, in turn, means that the price target can be hit sooner, as less cumulative earnings growth would be required. When we take a look at how Alibaba was valued in the past, we see that the longer-term median earnings multiples for BABA look like this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd2d42b7094deb394266d6410287c2e4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 30-40x net earnings, Alibaba was clearly trading at a massive premium relative to how shares are valued today (around 20x this year's earnings). I think that the current valuation is too low, but on the other hand, I do not expect Alibaba to trade at 30, 35, or even 40x net profits in coming years. Due to the growing scale of Alibaba, which makes it a little harder to maintain its excellent growth in coming years, shares will likely trade at a lower valuation in coming years, compared to how they were valued in the past.</p>\n<p>I still think that shares do have some valuation expansion potential from the current earnings multiple of around 21, thus let's assume that shares trade at 23x net profits in the future. This would still represent a massive discount versus the historic valuation, and also a substantial discount compared to how US-based high-tech mega-caps are valued -- Amazon (AMZN), for example, trades at 59x this year's earnings.</p>\n<p>If we want to get to a $500 share price for BABA using a 23x earnings multiple, then we get to earnings per share of $21.70 that Alibaba must generate. When could this be the case? In the following chart, we see EPS estimates for the current year, next year (CY 2022), and CY 2023:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fcf78e0b071eff9753afbdcd96f751c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>If analysts are right, Alibaba will not get to earn $22 a share through 2023, and I think that is realistic. I do not see earnings per share rising by 100%+ between this year and 2023, either. From 2023, it would take another 43% increase in Alibaba's earnings per share to get to $21.70, which is our \"target EPS\" for a $500 share price.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b4c351b4b5eb3328191ccaa9a3b776c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Analysts are currently forecasting long-term EPS growth of around 27%, which would mean it would take Alibaba about 1.5 years to grow its EPS from $15.20 (2023 estimate) to our target of $21.70. Even if we assume that this is too optimistic and that growth will be just 20% in 2024 and 2025, EPS of $21.70 could be hit by the end of 2025. So, in other words, if Alibaba grows a little less than what analysts are forecasting right now, Alibaba could trade at $500 by the end of 2025 -- or 4.5 years from now. Note that this scenario does not require a high earnings multiple at all -- at 23x net profits, Alibaba wouldn't be expensive, I believe.</p>\n<p>We can get even more conservative and assume that the 2023 EPS estimate is 10% too high and that EPS will grow by just 17% a year in the years beyond 2023 (versus a long-term forecast of 27% a year by the analyst community). In that case, Alibaba would hit $21.70 in earnings per share in 2026, and shares would rise to $500 over the next 5.5 years. Even in this scenario, BABA wouldn't be a bad investment at all -- a 130% share price increase from the current level over the next 5.5 years would equate to annualized returns of 16%.</p>\n<p>So, to sum this section up, I'd say<i>yes, BABA can hit $500</i>-- but it will realistically take a couple of years. By the mid-2020s, this seems like a very achievable goal to me, although there are, of course, no guarantees.</p>\n<p><b>Is Alibaba Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba Group is, I believe, a strong investment. The company generates strong growth, profits from multiple long-term macro trends, such as growing consumer spending in China, growing e-commerce market share, and cloud computing. There are, however, risks to consider: Alibaba is highly China-dependent, and in case the economic growth story in China ends, Alibaba would be hurt a lot. On top of that, Alibaba could be targeted again by regulators, although I personally think that it is not in China's best interest to hurt one of its highest-growth tech companies.</p>\n<p>For those that worry about these risks, Alibaba may not be the right choice, but for those that see Alibaba as a potentially very rewarding play on Chinese consumers, BABA could be a strong pick in a diversified portfolio.

At the same time, through a range of ventures, Alibaba is also active in additional industries, such as cloud computing. Shares have declined considerably over the last couple of months, but I believe that the long-term potential is significant. I would not be surprised to see shares rise towards $500, although that will not happen in the near term.\nBABA Stock Price\nSince its IPO, Alibaba has seen strong share price gains, but it should also be mentioned that shares did peek in H2 2020, and have declined considerably since then:\nData byYCharts\nShares are now basically where they were one year ago, as the gains during summer 2020 have been erased when Ant Financial's IPO plans were stopped. The flat share price performance over the last year is somewhat surprising, though, as Alibaba continued to generate strong results in that time frame. During the last quarter, for example, Alibaba showcased a revenue growth rate of 64%, while revenue growth during the previous quarter was also very strong, at around 50%. This is not the only positive in Alibaba's earnings releases, however. The company also managed to grow its user count by 32 million during the most recent quarter alone, which equates to an annualized user growth rate of around 20%. This bodes well for future quarters, as more users on Alibaba's platform should translate into higher revenues. On top of that, the strong user growth shows that there is still growing demand for the shopping services that Alibaba's platforms offer -- the market is not saturated at all. Alibaba also managed to grow its EBITDA by 25% year over year, which is an attractive growth pace as well, and which was achieved despite growing investments in what management calls key growth areas. Income from operations, meanwhile, grew at an even faster pace, thanks to some operating leverage, rising by 48% year over year when adjusted for the fine that Alibaba had to pay during Q1. It makes, I believe, sense to back out this one-time item to get a clearer picture about Alibaba's underlying, \"core\" profitability during an average quarter.\nAlibaba Group's weak share price performance, relative to the broad market and other tech names, is thus not the result of weak operating performance, but rather a result of multiple compression, driven by weak investor sentiment due to China exposure and fears about regulation.\nAt its current price of $220, BABA trades at a quite large discount compared to the current consensus analyst price target of $298. If Alibaba were to hit that, shares would gain 35%. Analyst price targets are usually issued with a 1-year time frame, thus, if the analyst community is correct, Alibaba could be a great investment. From a valuation standpoint, this price target doesn't seem outrageous at all, as $298 would equate to around 29x this year's expected net profits, or 23x next year's net earnings. The latter is likely the more telling one when we talk about a price target for summer 2022, i.e. 1 year from now.\nCan Alibaba Stock Hit $500?\nThe answer to that question, I think, depends on your time frame. If you are looking at a 12-month window, then Alibaba will most likely not be able to hit $500. The ~$300 price target seems achievable, although that is, of course, also not guaranteed. If, however, we take a longer-term view, then $500 seems like a share price that BABA could hit eventually. Let's look at a couple of examples.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $20 at some point and traded at an earnings multiple of 25, then shares would trade at $500.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $25 and traded at a 20x earnings multiple, then shares would trade at $500.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $17 and traded at 29x its net profits, then shares would trade at (marginally below) $500.\nWe see that there are many scenarios that could get us to a $500 share price for BABA, some of them more likely than others. Of course, the higher your target multiple, the lower the earnings that would be required. This, in turn, means that the price target can be hit sooner, as less cumulative earnings growth would be required. When we take a look at how Alibaba was valued in the past, we see that the longer-term median earnings multiples for BABA look like this:\nData byYCharts\nAt 30-40x net earnings, Alibaba was clearly trading at a massive premium relative to how shares are valued today (around 20x this year's earnings). I think that the current valuation is too low, but on the other hand, I do not expect Alibaba to trade at 30, 35, or even 40x net profits in coming years. Due to the growing scale of Alibaba, which makes it a little harder to maintain its excellent growth in coming years, shares will likely trade at a lower valuation in coming years, compared to how they were valued in the past.\nI still think that shares do have some valuation expansion potential from the current earnings multiple of around 21, thus let's assume that shares trade at 23x net profits in the future. This would still represent a massive discount versus the historic valuation, and also a substantial discount compared to how US-based high-tech mega-caps are valued -- Amazon (AMZN), for example, trades at 59x this year's earnings.\nIf we want to get to a $500 share price for BABA using a 23x earnings multiple, then we get to earnings per share of $21.70 that Alibaba must generate. When could this be the case? In the following chart, we see EPS estimates for the current year, next year (CY 2022), and CY 2023:\nData byYCharts\nIf analysts are right, Alibaba will not get to earn $22 a share through 2023, and I think that is realistic. I do not see earnings per share rising by 100%+ between this year and 2023, either. From 2023, it would take another 43% increase in Alibaba's earnings per share to get to $21.70, which is our \"target EPS\" for a $500 share price.\nData byYCharts\nAnalysts are currently forecasting long-term EPS growth of around 27%, which would mean it would take Alibaba about 1.5 years to grow its EPS from $15.20 (2023 estimate) to our target of $21.70. Even if we assume that this is too optimistic and that growth will be just 20% in 2024 and 2025, EPS of $21.70 could be hit by the end of 2025. So, in other words, if Alibaba grows a little less than what analysts are forecasting right now, Alibaba could trade at $500 by the end of 2025 -- or 4.5 years from now. Note that this scenario does not require a high earnings multiple at all -- at 23x net profits, Alibaba wouldn't be expensive, I believe.\nWe can get even more conservative and assume that the 2023 EPS estimate is 10% too high and that EPS will grow by just 17% a year in the years beyond 2023 (versus a long-term forecast of 27% a year by the analyst community). In that case, Alibaba would hit $21.70 in earnings per share in 2026, and shares would rise to $500 over the next 5.5 years. Even in this scenario, BABA wouldn't be a bad investment at all -- a 130% share price increase from the current level over the next 5.5 years would equate to annualized returns of 16%.\nSo, to sum this section up, I'd sayyes, BABA can hit $500-- but it will realistically take a couple of years. By the mid-2020s, this seems like a very achievable goal to me, although there are, of course, no guarantees.\nIs Alibaba Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?\nAlibaba Group is, I believe, a strong investment. The company generates strong growth, profits from multiple long-term macro trends, such as growing consumer spending in China, growing e-commerce market share, and cloud computing. There are, however, risks to consider: Alibaba is highly China-dependent, and in case the economic growth story in China ends, Alibaba would be hurt a lot. On top of that, Alibaba could be targeted again by regulators, although I personally think that it is not in China's best interest to hurt one of its highest-growth tech companies.\nFor those that worry about these risks, Alibaba may not be the right choice, but for those that see Alibaba as a potentially very rewarding play on Chinese consumers, BABA could be a strong pick in a diversified portfolio. I belong to the latter group and thus rate the stock a buy at current valuations, expecting significant upside over the coming years. Depending on your risk tolerance and how you weigh the opportunities and threats of investing in Chinese companies, you may decide differently, however.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":118285630,"gmtCreate":1622733670120,"gmtModify":1634098564788,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3563080940277680","idStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/118285630","repostId":"1150102285","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150102285","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622730969,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150102285?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-03 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street analysts foresee a 40% drop in the average meme stock, led by an AMC wipeout","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150102285","media":"CNBC","summary":"Meme stocks are popping this week, but Wall Street analysts who study the fundamentals believe big d","content":"<div>\n<p>Meme stocks are popping this week, but Wall Street analysts who study the fundamentals believe big declines are looming.\nSpeculative trading from retail investors, many active on Reddit’s ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/03/wall-street-analysts-foresee-a-40percent-drop-in-the-average-meme-stock-led-by-an-amc-wipeout.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The estimated declines are based on Wednesday closing prices.\nEven the company itself warned investors of the extreme risk associated with its stock. AMC said Thursday it plans to sell more than 11 million shares, sending the stock into a 30% nosedive in early trading.\n“We believe that the recent volatility and our current market prices reflect market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business, or macro or industry fundamentals, and we do not know how long these dynamics will last,” AMC wrote in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.\n“Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment,” the company added.\nExpress, another meme stock gaining popularity on Reddit, also announced a share sale on Thursday. The company said it may offer and sell up to 15 million shares through an at-the-market equity offering program. The stock plunged 20% in early trading Thursday.\nWall Street analysts on average expect the price of Express shares to fall 37.3% within 12 months.\nShares of GameStop, which made headlines earlier this year in a short squeeze fueled by retail traders, are expected to plummet 82.9%.\nLooking at all nine meme stocks together, Wall Street predicts an average drop of roughly 40% for these shares.\n“My biggest concern is what’s going on with the individual investor though. They’ve got to be able to understand when they use leverage what that really means,” Joe Moglia, former chairman and CEO of TD Ameritrade, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday.\n“Leverage on the way up is a great thing,” Moglia said. “Leverage on the way down will rip your arms off.”\nWhat’s striking is the magnitude of the decline that’s predicted by these company analysts, considering this group is rarely accused of being too bearish. Analysts have faced criticism in the past of being too bullish on companies they cover, keeping buy ratings and high price targets to stay in good graces.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":54,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111943454,"gmtCreate":1622650624478,"gmtModify":1634099541670,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3563080940277680","idStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/111943454","repostId":"2140419846","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140419846","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1622633113,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2140419846?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-02 19:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Ultra-Popular Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague in June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140419846","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Hype-driven companies and penny stocks are rarely, if ever, a smart place to put your money to work.","content":"<p>Time and again, the stock market has demonstrated that it rewards patience.

Pretty straightforward, right?</p>\n<p>The problem is that Castor Maritime didn't have the fleet or the finances to take advantage of this rebound. To compensate, it's been selling shares of its stock like it's going out of style to raise capital to buy new vessels. Castor ended 2020 with six ships but it now owns 26, when all are fully delivered. But it's the company's shareholders who paid the price for this shopping spree. Castor's share count has risen from 3.3 million shares on Dec. 31, 2019 to about 900 million (both figures are pre-split).</p>\n<p>However, last month the company had to enact a 1-for-10 reverse split to simply remain listed on the <b>Nasdaq</b>&nbsp;exchange.

They allow us to send lightning-fast transactions overseas, develop applications in a decentralized way, encrypt information in a manner that is safe and effective, and — most importantly — they give us an innovative new way to grow our wealth.<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>) blazed the trail, creating the first generation of crypto billionaires and blockchain entrepreneurs. In its wake, altcoins have been cropping up everywhere as potential gateways to gains. Although this crypto craze brings great opportunity, it also brings a wealth of cryptocurrency scams, like theElon Musk impersonators who’ve made off with millionsin coins.</p><p>This new frontier of digital, decentralized finance can be a labyrinth for new investors. There are many bad actors who know that, and seek to take advantage of those who are just beginning to explore the complex world of cryptocurrencies.</p><p>At<i>InvestorPlace</i>, we want to ensure our readers are as educated as possible in order to tell the real from the fake. In the world of traditional investing, this means highlighting the risks that come with penny stocks and other volatile names. In the world of cryptocurrencies, it’s the same.</p><p>And, just like with traditional pump-and-dump schemes and other stock scams, there are signs you can look for to avoid falling for fraud.</p><p>Altcoin schemes are frustrating because they can take many forms.AARPsays it best, though: “For all cryptocurrency’s high-tech gloss, many of the related scams are just newfangled versions of classic frauds.”</p><p>In the six months from October 2020 to May 2021, those Elon Musk impersonators have been making a killing. By just creating a Twitter account using Musk’s profile image and name, these scammers have convinced users to send over $2 million in Bitcoin to them. The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.</p><p>With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOs</b></p><p>A fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bring<i>huge gains</i>.</p><p>These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.</p><p>A famous example of a fake ICO is&nbsp;<b>Pincoin</b>. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.</p><p>So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.</p><p>This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.</p><p>The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.</p><p><b>Ponzi Schemes</b></p><p>If you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.</p><p>In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.</p><p>With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.</p><p>The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto is<b>Bitconnect</b>, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency.

They allow us to send lightning-fast transactions overseas, develop applications in a decentralized way, encrypt information in a manner that is safe and effective, and — most importantly — they give us an innovative new way to grow our wealth.Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD) blazed the trail, creating the first generation of crypto billionaires and blockchain entrepreneurs. In its wake, altcoins have been cropping up everywhere as potential gateways to gains. Although this crypto craze brings great opportunity, it also brings a wealth of cryptocurrency scams, like theElon Musk impersonators who’ve made off with millionsin coins.This new frontier of digital, decentralized finance can be a labyrinth for new investors. There are many bad actors who know that, and seek to take advantage of those who are just beginning to explore the complex world of cryptocurrencies.AtInvestorPlace, we want to ensure our readers are as educated as possible in order to tell the real from the fake. In the world of traditional investing, this means highlighting the risks that come with penny stocks and other volatile names. In the world of cryptocurrencies, it’s the same.And, just like with traditional pump-and-dump schemes and other stock scams, there are signs you can look for to avoid falling for fraud.Altcoin schemes are frustrating because they can take many forms.AARPsays it best, though: “For all cryptocurrency’s high-tech gloss, many of the related scams are just newfangled versions of classic frauds.”In the six months from October 2020 to May 2021, those Elon Musk impersonators have been making a killing. By just creating a Twitter account using Musk’s profile image and name, these scammers have convinced users to send over $2 million in Bitcoin to them. The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOsA fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bringhuge gains.These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.A famous example of a fake ICO is Pincoin. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.Ponzi SchemesIf you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto isBitconnect, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency. Users could stake their coins for high daily interest, which was actually just money taken from newer investors. And the company made a huge profit; Bitconnectwas a top 20 cryptocurrencyin terms of market capitalization before its collapse.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionkeeps a handy guideon spotting this particular crypto scheme. Investors should look out for the classic “high return, no risk” promise typical of a cryptocurrency scam. Overly complex strategies and returns that look uncannily consistent are also signs of fraud. Because of the nature of cryptos, overly consistent returns are unusual. Things ebb and flow on the market, so when returns are the same month after month, it suggests the gains are artificial.Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fraud WalletsA fraud wallet scam is closely related to the internet-age-old practice of phishing. But rather than sending out emails pretending to be a reputable company, fraud wallets typically wait for you to come to them.Fraud wallets can take the shape of a website or a mobile app, just like a real crypto wallet.

They add in their information, link a card or two, and load crypto right into the scammers’ hands. Then, just as quickly as the scammers showed up, they vanish with the coins.Trezor’s doppelgänger app is a famous example of a fraud wallet scheme, evengetting coverage in theWashington Post. The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency.

The stock is down 12% over the last month alone and investors are curious to see if the chipmaker’s upcoming earning report has enough positives to reinvigorate its share price. So, in this article, I want to discuss a few key items that should be on everyone’s radar when Nvidia announces its Q1 results. These items – segment performance and their management’s comments on their supply situation – are likely going to influence its share price over the coming days and weeks. Let's take a closer look at it all.</p>\n<p><b>Clarity on Supply Situation</b></p>\n<p>Let me start by saying that the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage still hasn’t eased, at least not materially, and it continues to disrupt supply chains across the globe. Nvidia and its key rival in the GPU space, AMD, have both been affected by these shortages as well. However, what we don’t know yet is if they’ve been impacted equally and how their market shares are set to evolve as a result of this supply-demand mismatch.</p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, Nvidia has tapped Samsung’s 8nm process node for its RTX30-series GPUS whereas its small rival, AMD, is using Taiwan Semiconductor’s 7nm node. Although both the aforementioned fabs – TSMC and Samsung -- have reported in the past that they’re unable to keep up with the breakneck customer demand, certain channel reports suggest that the supply shortfall at Samsung may be more severe than TSM of late.</p>\n<p>Per Samuel Wang&nbsp;of Gartner:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Overall, the 200mm shortage is dragging on much longer than expected... There has been no shortage in [TSMC’s] 7nm and 5nm since 3Q20. That’s when Apple advanced their use of wafers from 7nm to 5nm. There is a shortage at Samsung’s 8nm node, causing problems for Nvidia and Qualcomm\n</blockquote>\n<p>I think it's needless to say but if Nvidia’s supply crunch is more severe than AMD’s, then the former could variably lose market share to the latter. After all, OEMs and end-customers who’re in the market for just about any functional 7nm/8nm GPUs, would go for either brands based on stock availability. This dynamic can partially or wholly erode Nvidia’s recent market share gains against its smaller rival, AMD, and even limit Nvidia's revenue growth in its graphics segment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b74121ae017a3c217dc6c850aa69ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"527\"><span>(Source: Business Quant)</span></p>\n<p>Now there is the distinct possibility that Samsung prioritized Nvidia over its other customers, and provided Nvidia with unfettered access to supplies. However, a recent channel&nbsp;report&nbsp;(although unconfirmed) suggests that Samsung’s chip shortage is so dire that it’s affecting Samsung’s own smartphone roadmap, which goes against the popular narrative of Nvidia being prioritized. So, investors should closely listen to Nvidia management’s official comments around its supply situation on its upcoming earnings call. Specifically, look for comments that shed light on:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>whether its supply crunch remained sporadic or uniform throughout its Q1;</li>\n <li>how its volumes are/were affected, and;</li>\n <li>how soon are the supply constraints likely to ease going forward.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These items will reveal Nvidia’s operational positioning and provide us with clarity on what to expect from the chipmaker in the near future.</p>\n<p>Having said that, as far as my guesstimates are concerned, here’s what I think: The chipmaker released a slew of new offerings during the quarter, as we’ll see in the next section of this article. Its top brass wouldn’t have done so, if the supply crunch was extremely severe and posed the risk of a sequential unit sales decline. Nvidia and its fab partner, most likely, brought additional capacity online during the quarter to accommodate the sales of these new SKUs. So, I expect Nvidia’s volume sales, and consequently its revenue, to be up sequentially and year over year, in its Q1 results but we’ll just have to wait for the company’s official confirmation on the same.</p>\n<p><b>Segmented Impact</b></p>\n<p>Next, Nvidia has a range of dynamics at play that can variably impact its financials during Q1 and even in Q2 across its different end-markets. For starters, the company launched its RTX30-series cards several months ago but it continues to sell out due to extraordinary consumer demand. In fact, a popular tech-website published a buyer’s&nbsp;guide&nbsp;only yesterday explaining the various tips and tricks, to increase the odds of buying an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU. The company also launched a budget&nbsp;RTX 3060-GPU during the quarter but it, too, has largely remained out of stock.</p>\n<p>Unless the chipmaker saw a drop in production capacity and/or registered low production yields during Q1, this strong customer demand should ideally boost Nvidia’s average selling prices for RTX 30-series cards and catapult its gaming revenues higher on a sequential as well as on a year over year basis in Q1 and possibly even in Q2. Although the chipmaker also announced its laptop-focused 3050 and 3050Ti GPUs&nbsp;last week, their sales will be recognized in its Q2.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd8df25876cfe09c8476ab64fc8a22b2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"402\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com, company filings)</span></p>\n<p>Moving on, Nvidia’s data center segment may post muted results. The chipmaker had launched a&nbsp;new A100&nbsp;data center GPU, with double the memory of its predecessor, during Q4. This means Nvidia will be registering its first full quarter of sales from this new release this time around, which should drive its data center sales higher during Q1 at the very least.</p>\n<p>However, at the same time, the company’s rival in the data center space, Intel, registered a drop in its data center sales in its latest quarter. Its management downplayed the possibility of market share losses and explained that their data center sales were slow because cloud-focused customers were still digesting inventory during the quarter. There is the distinct possibility that Nvidia, too, faces this kind of cloud consumption hiccup in Q1 which could weigh on its data center sales. So, overall, I’m expecting its data center revenue to more or less remain flat sequentially.</p>\n<p>From Intel’s&nbsp;Q1 earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n In data center, we believe revenue bottomed in Q1 and will increase in Q2 as cloud digestion impacts begin to subside, and enterprise and government momentum continues… now customers are almost through the digestion of that and we are starting to see signs that they want to start the next build phase in their cloud.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Let’s now shift focus to Nvidia’s Professional Visualization segment. The chipmaker will be registering its first full quarter of&nbsp;A6000&nbsp;card sales this time around.

The stock is down 12% over the last month alone and investors are curious to see if the chipmaker’s upcoming earning report has enough positives to reinvigorate its share price. So, in this article, I want to discuss a few key items that should be on everyone’s radar when Nvidia announces its Q1 results. These items – segment performance and their management’s comments on their supply situation – are likely going to influence its share price over the coming days and weeks. Let's take a closer look at it all.\nClarity on Supply Situation\nLet me start by saying that the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage still hasn’t eased, at least not materially, and it continues to disrupt supply chains across the globe. Nvidia and its key rival in the GPU space, AMD, have both been affected by these shortages as well. However, what we don’t know yet is if they’ve been impacted equally and how their market shares are set to evolve as a result of this supply-demand mismatch.\nFor the uninitiated, Nvidia has tapped Samsung’s 8nm process node for its RTX30-series GPUS whereas its small rival, AMD, is using Taiwan Semiconductor’s 7nm node. Although both the aforementioned fabs – TSMC and Samsung -- have reported in the past that they’re unable to keep up with the breakneck customer demand, certain channel reports suggest that the supply shortfall at Samsung may be more severe than TSM of late.\nPer Samuel Wang of Gartner:\n\n Overall, the 200mm shortage is dragging on much longer than expected... There has been no shortage in [TSMC’s] 7nm and 5nm since 3Q20. That’s when Apple advanced their use of wafers from 7nm to 5nm. There is a shortage at Samsung’s 8nm node, causing problems for Nvidia and Qualcomm\n\nI think it's needless to say but if Nvidia’s supply crunch is more severe than AMD’s, then the former could variably lose market share to the latter. After all, OEMs and end-customers who’re in the market for just about any functional 7nm/8nm GPUs, would go for either brands based on stock availability. This dynamic can partially or wholly erode Nvidia’s recent market share gains against its smaller rival, AMD, and even limit Nvidia's revenue growth in its graphics segment.\n(Source: Business Quant)\nNow there is the distinct possibility that Samsung prioritized Nvidia over its other customers, and provided Nvidia with unfettered access to supplies. However, a recent channel report (although unconfirmed) suggests that Samsung’s chip shortage is so dire that it’s affecting Samsung’s own smartphone roadmap, which goes against the popular narrative of Nvidia being prioritized. So, investors should closely listen to Nvidia management’s official comments around its supply situation on its upcoming earnings call. Specifically, look for comments that shed light on:\n\nwhether its supply crunch remained sporadic or uniform throughout its Q1;\nhow its volumes are/were affected, and;\nhow soon are the supply constraints likely to ease going forward.\n\nThese items will reveal Nvidia’s operational positioning and provide us with clarity on what to expect from the chipmaker in the near future.\nHaving said that, as far as my guesstimates are concerned, here’s what I think: The chipmaker released a slew of new offerings during the quarter, as we’ll see in the next section of this article. Its top brass wouldn’t have done so, if the supply crunch was extremely severe and posed the risk of a sequential unit sales decline. Nvidia and its fab partner, most likely, brought additional capacity online during the quarter to accommodate the sales of these new SKUs. So, I expect Nvidia’s volume sales, and consequently its revenue, to be up sequentially and year over year, in its Q1 results but we’ll just have to wait for the company’s official confirmation on the same.\nSegmented Impact\nNext, Nvidia has a range of dynamics at play that can variably impact its financials during Q1 and even in Q2 across its different end-markets. For starters, the company launched its RTX30-series cards several months ago but it continues to sell out due to extraordinary consumer demand. In fact, a popular tech-website published a buyer’s guide only yesterday explaining the various tips and tricks, to increase the odds of buying an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU. The company also launched a budget RTX 3060-GPU during the quarter but it, too, has largely remained out of stock.\nUnless the chipmaker saw a drop in production capacity and/or registered low production yields during Q1, this strong customer demand should ideally boost Nvidia’s average selling prices for RTX 30-series cards and catapult its gaming revenues higher on a sequential as well as on a year over year basis in Q1 and possibly even in Q2. Although the chipmaker also announced its laptop-focused 3050 and 3050Ti GPUs last week, their sales will be recognized in its Q2.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com, company filings)\nMoving on, Nvidia’s data center segment may post muted results. The chipmaker had launched a new A100 data center GPU, with double the memory of its predecessor, during Q4. This means Nvidia will be registering its first full quarter of sales from this new release this time around, which should drive its data center sales higher during Q1 at the very least.\nHowever, at the same time, the company’s rival in the data center space, Intel, registered a drop in its data center sales in its latest quarter. Its management downplayed the possibility of market share losses and explained that their data center sales were slow because cloud-focused customers were still digesting inventory during the quarter. There is the distinct possibility that Nvidia, too, faces this kind of cloud consumption hiccup in Q1 which could weigh on its data center sales. So, overall, I’m expecting its data center revenue to more or less remain flat sequentially.\nFrom Intel’s Q1 earnings call:\n\n In data center, we believe revenue bottomed in Q1 and will increase in Q2 as cloud digestion impacts begin to subside, and enterprise and government momentum continues… now customers are almost through the digestion of that and we are starting to see signs that they want to start the next build phase in their cloud.\n\nLet’s now shift focus to Nvidia’s Professional Visualization segment. The chipmaker will be registering its first full quarter of A6000 card sales this time around. The company also launched eight new mid-range workstation cards –A4000,A5000 and others– which are likely to drive its sales higher. So, for Q1, I expect the company’s sales in the professional visualization market to be up on a sequential basis.\nAltogether, as evident from the chart above, the three aforementioned revenue streams – gaming, data center and professional visualization – accounted for over 94% of Nvidia’s total sales last quarter. Based on my above-mentioned reasoning, my guesstimate is that the company as a whole will post sequentially higher revenue in Q1. This expectation seems to be in-line with the Street’s forecasts. A consensus of 30 analysts is projecting Nvidia’s revenue for the quarter to come in at $5.39 billion, which marks a sequential and a year-on-year growth of 7.8% and 79.7%, respectively.\nFinal Thoughts\nNvidia is surrounded by a few uncertainties which might make its shares volatile in the coming days and weeks. So, investors may want to keep a close eye on its segmented financials and its management’s comments around their supply situation, to get a firm understanding of its state of operations and gain clarity about its near-term prospects. As far as I’m concerned, I’m neutral on the stock as we head into its Q1 results.

In that example, the<b>S&amp;P 500</b>had gained 3.5% over the previous five days of trading.</p>\n<p>As a result, out of my 10 stocks to watch,seven were burning up the track&nbsp;while three were lagging the index.</p>\n<p>Now that we’re in 2021, I thought I would do the same thing.</p>\n<p>Only this time, I’ll find five winners and losers from the past five days of trading who’ve either outperformed or underperformed the index. For this article, I’ll use May 12 through May 18 (five days and a weekend) and limit the companies to stocks with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher.</p>\n<p>If you’re wondering, the 10 stocks to watch from my article (both good and bad weekly performances) had lights-out returns over the past year.</p>\n<p>Between May 12 and May 18, the S&amp;P 500 had a total return of -0.6%. Based on that, here are my five winning stocks and five losing stocks to watch right now.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>NortonLifeLock</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NLOK</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Occidental Petroleum</b>(NYSE:<b><u>OXY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ulta Beauty</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ULTA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Hershey</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HSY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Lennar</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LEN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CMG</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>MSCI</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MSCI</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>NortonLifeLock (NLOK)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>13.5%</p>\n<p>The cybersecurity software and services company got a nice boost on May 12 when BofA analyst Tal Liani upgraded NLOK stock to “buy” from “underperform.” More importantly, the analyst increased its target price by 58%, from&nbsp;$19 to $30. Currently trading below the target, it’s possible future quarterly results could push that higher.</p>\n<p>Liani believes that the consumer market, NortonLifeLock’s bread and butter, provides it with a long runway of growth. The company itself expects 2022 revenue growth of at least 8% and adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, which would be 60% higher year-over-year.</p>\n<p>“Management believes the consumer cybersecurity market is heavily underpenetrated, which leaves room for growing the subscriber base as well,” Liani wrote.“Lastly, international expansion is another key element, with international sales accounting for 30% of revenues, and management outlined a country-by-country strategy to address the remaining potential.”</p>\n<p>NortonLifeLock’s been on a strong run the past five years with an annualized total return of 18.8%. But it looks as though the next five could be equally rewarding for shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Occidental Petroleum (OXY)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>5.6%</p>\n<p><i>Investor’s Business Daily</i>&nbsp;commented in early May that the Occidental corporate jet was&nbsp;spotted in Omaha&nbsp;days before Warren Buffett invested&nbsp;$10 billion&nbsp;in the oil company in 2019.</p>\n<p>At times in the past couple of years, I’m sure Buffett would have preferred the jet go almost anywhere else except Omaha, as the price of oil tanked. As part of his $10 billion preferred-share investment, Buffett got&nbsp;83.86 million warrants&nbsp;to buy OXY stock at $59.62.</p>\n<p>Starting in 2029, Occidental can redeem the 8% preferreds at a redemption price equal to 105% of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends. The dividends Buffett was paid in 2020 were made in Oxy stock. The Oracle of Omaha&nbsp;sold those shares&nbsp;in August 2020.</p>\n<p>Thanks to a rebound in oil prices, Occidental’s got a total return of almost 72% over the past year, significantly higher than the U.S. markets as a whole. However, as I write this, OXY stock is still trading at less than half Buffett’s exercise price.</p>\n<p>He’s got until one year after Occidental were to redeem its preferred shares. That means at least another nine years to move into the money.</p>\n<p><b>Ulta Beauty (ULTA)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>4.7%</p>\n<p>The specialty retailer of cosmetics, skin and hair care products, fragrances, and a provider of beauty salon services, reports its&nbsp;Q1 2021 results&nbsp;on May 27. The 27 analysts who cover ULTA estimate&nbsp;$1.90 per share&nbsp;on the bottom line and $1.63 billion in sales on the top line. Both will be marked improvements from a year ago when Covid-19 stay-at-home orders were kicking in.</p>\n<p>In mid-May, JPMorgan analysts named Ulta to its list of&nbsp;favorite retail stocks. The bank gives ULTA an overweight rating and has it on its Analyst Focus List. Interestingly,<b>Target</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TGT</u></b>) is also a favorite of JPM due to its inventory control and overall strength during the important back-to-school season.</p>\n<p>In November, Ulta announced that it would open&nbsp;1,000-square-foot shops&nbsp;within Target. They will be staffed by the discount retailer with training from Ulta.</p>\n<p>Both Ulta CEO Mary Dillon and Target CEO Brian Cornell believe the arrangement will help drive traffic to both stores. Two of the best CEOs in retail, this partnership is sure to be a success, making ULTA one of our stocks to watch.</p>\n<p><b>Royal Caribbean (RCL)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>4.6%</p>\n<p>It wasn’t just Royal Caribbean that had a good five days of trading. All of the cruise operators did.<b>Carnival</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NCLH</u></b>) were up 8.2% and 5.7%, respectively. I happen to prefer RCL over the other two.</p>\n<p>The cruise operator got&nbsp;excellent news&nbsp;in late April when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clarified its position on cruise ships setting sail from American ports of call this summer. Royal Caribbean figures it can restart its U.S. cruise departures in mid-July.</p>\n<p>Considering it lost&nbsp;$1.1 billion&nbsp;in its latest quarter, the news couldn’t have come at a better time. Plus, its balance sheet is currently bolstered by more than $5 billion in cash. As cruise-goers appear to be ready to spend more on cruises than in past years, they should be able to get back to pre-Covid revenues by the end of 2022, perhaps earlier.</p>\n<p>In 2020, while RCL was getting pummeled, I continued to say it was&nbsp;a long-term winner. Up almost double in the past year, RCL should top $100 before the end of 2021.</p>\n<p><b>Hershey (HSY)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>2.3%</p>\n<p>I know what you’re thinking. When considering stocks to watch, why include a company that gained a measly 2.3% over the past five days? Especially when there were 46 stocks ($10 billion market cap or higher) with a better return?</p>\n<p>Simple. I like the job CEO Michele Buck has done since&nbsp;taking the top job&nbsp;in March 2017. It’s why I included Hershey on my October 2020&nbsp;list of companies&nbsp;with top-notch women CEOs. Since that article, HSY stock is up 18% since.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;In late April, Buck said that she expects&nbsp;Halloween to be very strong&nbsp;this coming October as vaccinations make it possible for trick-or-treaters to get out in the evening air to collect their annual haul of candy and chocolate. I, for one, will be loading up this year.</p>\n<p>“Consumers are participating in seasons, they are telling us they’re doing more movie nights at home, they’re making more s’mores at home [and] at the same time, we’re seeing growth in our food service and our own retail businesses, which are away from home,” Buck told<i>CNBC.</i></p>\n<p>As a result, HSY sees higher earnings and sales in 2021 than originally expected. It’s good to know consumers haven’t lost their taste for sweets during the pandemic.</p>\n<p><b>AT&amp;T</b><b>(T)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>-8.4%</p>\n<p>Back in July 2018, I wrote about the&nbsp;<i>7 Reasons AT&amp;T Is Going to Blow the Time Warner Merger.</i>At the time, the Department of Justice was trying to block the mega-merger.</p>\n<p>In hindsight, I’m sure long-time shareholders wish the DOJ had been successful in blocking the acquisition. It’s been both a time waster and a serious blow to AT&amp;T’s reputation with dividend investors.</p>\n<p><i>CNBC</i>host Jim Cramer has been&nbsp;very critical&nbsp;of the mistakes made by AT&amp;T.</p>\n<p>“I am not calling it a transformational deal. I am calling it the denouement of a ridiculously stupid deal, the $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner, a deal that closed less than three years ago,” Cramer stated in his<i>Real Money</i>column on May 17, the day AT&amp;T threw in the towel on WarnerMedia.</p>\n<p>The reality is that T paid $85 billion for WarnerMedia. It’s getting&nbsp;$43 billion&nbsp;in cash, debt, and WarnerMedia retains some of the debt. AT&amp;T shareholders will also own 71% of the new business.</p>\n<p>The downside is that AT&amp;T will cut the dividend&nbsp;in half.</p>\n<p>All these dividend chasers are left holding squat and hoping for dear life that the merged entity can deliver at least $42 billion in additional value to get back to square one before the ridiculously stupid merger took place.</p>\n<p>It was one of the dumbest deals of the 21st century.</p>\n<p><b>Lennar (LEN)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>-7.9%</p>\n<p>Lennar makes our list of stocks to watch because over the past five days, the homebuilder lost almost 8% of its value. The&nbsp;<b>iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF</b>&nbsp;(BATS:<b><u>ITB</u></b>), which has a&nbsp;Lennar weighting&nbsp;of 12.2%, lost 5.4% over the past five days.</p>\n<p>Let’s call it a cooling-off period. The ITB has an annualized total return of 75.9% over the past year and is up 25.8% year-to-date. Over the past decade, it’s got an annualized total return of 19%, 468 basis points better than its consumer cyclical peers.</p>\n<p>For those who believe there is a housing bubble right around the corner, consider Ben Carlson’s&nbsp;<i>Fortune</i>&nbsp;article from April. It suggests&nbsp;home loans&nbsp;are mostly being made by people with good credit scores and large down payments, the opposite of the subprime meltdown in 2008.</p>\n<p>If you combine this fact with the reality that the housing supply isn’t nearly as abundant as it ought to be, you get the picture of a supply issue rather than one of excess demand.</p>\n<p>Here’s what Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller had to say in its Q1 2021 conference call in March.</p>\n<blockquote>\n So, from a macro perspective, the housing market remains strong. Demand has continued to strengthen as the millennial generation, which had previously postponed its entry into the housing market, has now continued to drive family formation, while at the same time, the supply of new and existing homes remains constrained.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Take advantage of these pullbacks. The housing boom hardly seems ready to end anytime soon.</p>\n<p><b>Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>-6.4%</p>\n<p>Innovation costs money. That’s especially true when it comes to the electrification of transportation. It took Tesla&nbsp;15 years&nbsp;to post its first annual profit after Elon Musk&nbsp;took control&nbsp;of it in 2004.</p>\n<p>After running up huge returns in 2020, Tesla is off almost 27% in the past three months due to many different reasons, including the fact Michael Burry, the man behind the&nbsp;<i>Big Short,</i>has taken a&nbsp;short position&nbsp;using put options on 800,100 shares of TSLA stock.</p>\n<p>And while Musk has gone hot and cold over&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>), Tesla shareholders ought to be more worried about the&nbsp;bureaucratic nightmare&nbsp;happening across the pond in Germany as it tries to get its Berlin Gigafactory built.</p>\n<p>“Although things looked good regarding the Tesla facility up to a few weeks ago, a different reality can lie behind a facade,” says Berlin-based auto analyst Matthias Schmidt.</p>\n<p>The new Berlin airport, which is very close to the Tesla factory, took almost a decade to get regulatory approval from the German authorities. If Tesla takes that long, Musk can forget about becoming the richest person in the world.</p>\n<p>I’m a fan of Musk’s innovative bent, but 2021 could turn out to be one of his most challenging years on record.

In that example, theS&P 500had gained 3.5% over the previous five days of trading.\nAs a result, out of my 10 stocks to watch,seven were burning up the track while three were lagging the index.\nNow that we’re in 2021, I thought I would do the same thing.\nOnly this time, I’ll find five winners and losers from the past five days of trading who’ve either outperformed or underperformed the index. For this article, I’ll use May 12 through May 18 (five days and a weekend) and limit the companies to stocks with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher.\nIf you’re wondering, the 10 stocks to watch from my article (both good and bad weekly performances) had lights-out returns over the past year.\nBetween May 12 and May 18, the S&P 500 had a total return of -0.6%. Based on that, here are my five winning stocks and five losing stocks to watch right now.\n\nNortonLifeLock(NASDAQ:NLOK)\nOccidental Petroleum(NYSE:OXY)\nUlta Beauty(NASDAQ:ULTA)\nRoyal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL)\nHershey(NYSE:HSY)\nAT&T(NYSE:T)\nLennar(NYSE:LEN)\nTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nChipotle Mexican Grill(NYSE:CMG)\nMSCI(NYSE:MSCI)\n\nNortonLifeLock (NLOK)\nFive-day performance:13.5%\nThe cybersecurity software and services company got a nice boost on May 12 when BofA analyst Tal Liani upgraded NLOK stock to “buy” from “underperform.” More importantly, the analyst increased its target price by 58%, from $19 to $30. Currently trading below the target, it’s possible future quarterly results could push that higher.\nLiani believes that the consumer market, NortonLifeLock’s bread and butter, provides it with a long runway of growth. The company itself expects 2022 revenue growth of at least 8% and adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, which would be 60% higher year-over-year.\n“Management believes the consumer cybersecurity market is heavily underpenetrated, which leaves room for growing the subscriber base as well,” Liani wrote.“Lastly, international expansion is another key element, with international sales accounting for 30% of revenues, and management outlined a country-by-country strategy to address the remaining potential.”\nNortonLifeLock’s been on a strong run the past five years with an annualized total return of 18.8%. But it looks as though the next five could be equally rewarding for shareholders.\nOccidental Petroleum (OXY)\nFive-day performance:5.6%\nInvestor’s Business Daily commented in early May that the Occidental corporate jet was spotted in Omaha days before Warren Buffett invested $10 billion in the oil company in 2019.\nAt times in the past couple of years, I’m sure Buffett would have preferred the jet go almost anywhere else except Omaha, as the price of oil tanked. As part of his $10 billion preferred-share investment, Buffett got 83.86 million warrants to buy OXY stock at $59.62.\nStarting in 2029, Occidental can redeem the 8% preferreds at a redemption price equal to 105% of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends. The dividends Buffett was paid in 2020 were made in Oxy stock. The Oracle of Omaha sold those shares in August 2020.\nThanks to a rebound in oil prices, Occidental’s got a total return of almost 72% over the past year, significantly higher than the U.S. markets as a whole. However, as I write this, OXY stock is still trading at less than half Buffett’s exercise price.\nHe’s got until one year after Occidental were to redeem its preferred shares. That means at least another nine years to move into the money.\nUlta Beauty (ULTA)\nFive-day performance:4.7%\nThe specialty retailer of cosmetics, skin and hair care products, fragrances, and a provider of beauty salon services, reports its Q1 2021 results on May 27. The 27 analysts who cover ULTA estimate $1.90 per share on the bottom line and $1.63 billion in sales on the top line. Both will be marked improvements from a year ago when Covid-19 stay-at-home orders were kicking in.\nIn mid-May, JPMorgan analysts named Ulta to its list of favorite retail stocks. The bank gives ULTA an overweight rating and has it on its Analyst Focus List. Interestingly,Target(NYSE:TGT) is also a favorite of JPM due to its inventory control and overall strength during the important back-to-school season.\nIn November, Ulta announced that it would open 1,000-square-foot shops within Target. They will be staffed by the discount retailer with training from Ulta.\nBoth Ulta CEO Mary Dillon and Target CEO Brian Cornell believe the arrangement will help drive traffic to both stores. Two of the best CEOs in retail, this partnership is sure to be a success, making ULTA one of our stocks to watch.\nRoyal Caribbean (RCL)\nFive-day performance:4.6%\nIt wasn’t just Royal Caribbean that had a good five days of trading. All of the cruise operators did.Carnival (NYSE:CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) were up 8.2% and 5.7%, respectively. I happen to prefer RCL over the other two.\nThe cruise operator got excellent news in late April when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clarified its position on cruise ships setting sail from American ports of call this summer. Royal Caribbean figures it can restart its U.S. cruise departures in mid-July.\nConsidering it lost $1.1 billion in its latest quarter, the news couldn’t have come at a better time. Plus, its balance sheet is currently bolstered by more than $5 billion in cash. As cruise-goers appear to be ready to spend more on cruises than in past years, they should be able to get back to pre-Covid revenues by the end of 2022, perhaps earlier.\nIn 2020, while RCL was getting pummeled, I continued to say it was a long-term winner. Up almost double in the past year, RCL should top $100 before the end of 2021.\nHershey (HSY)\nFive-day performance:2.3%\nI know what you’re thinking. When considering stocks to watch, why include a company that gained a measly 2.3% over the past five days? Especially when there were 46 stocks ($10 billion market cap or higher) with a better return?\nSimple. I like the job CEO Michele Buck has done since taking the top job in March 2017. It’s why I included Hershey on my October 2020 list of companies with top-notch women CEOs. Since that article, HSY stock is up 18% since.\n In late April, Buck said that she expects Halloween to be very strong this coming October as vaccinations make it possible for trick-or-treaters to get out in the evening air to collect their annual haul of candy and chocolate. I, for one, will be loading up this year.\n“Consumers are participating in seasons, they are telling us they’re doing more movie nights at home, they’re making more s’mores at home [and] at the same time, we’re seeing growth in our food service and our own retail businesses, which are away from home,” Buck toldCNBC.\nAs a result, HSY sees higher earnings and sales in 2021 than originally expected. It’s good to know consumers haven’t lost their taste for sweets during the pandemic.\nAT&T(T)\nFive-day performance:-8.4%\nBack in July 2018, I wrote about the 7 Reasons AT&T Is Going to Blow the Time Warner Merger.At the time, the Department of Justice was trying to block the mega-merger.\nIn hindsight, I’m sure long-time shareholders wish the DOJ had been successful in blocking the acquisition. It’s been both a time waster and a serious blow to AT&T’s reputation with dividend investors.\nCNBChost Jim Cramer has been very critical of the mistakes made by AT&T.\n“I am not calling it a transformational deal. I am calling it the denouement of a ridiculously stupid deal, the $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner, a deal that closed less than three years ago,” Cramer stated in hisReal Moneycolumn on May 17, the day AT&T threw in the towel on WarnerMedia.\nThe reality is that T paid $85 billion for WarnerMedia. It’s getting $43 billion in cash, debt, and WarnerMedia retains some of the debt. AT&T shareholders will also own 71% of the new business.\nThe downside is that AT&T will cut the dividend in half.\nAll these dividend chasers are left holding squat and hoping for dear life that the merged entity can deliver at least $42 billion in additional value to get back to square one before the ridiculously stupid merger took place.\nIt was one of the dumbest deals of the 21st century.\nLennar (LEN)\nFive-day performance:-7.9%\nLennar makes our list of stocks to watch because over the past five days, the homebuilder lost almost 8% of its value. The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:ITB), which has a Lennar weighting of 12.2%, lost 5.4% over the past five days.\nLet’s call it a cooling-off period. The ITB has an annualized total return of 75.9% over the past year and is up 25.8% year-to-date. Over the past decade, it’s got an annualized total return of 19%, 468 basis points better than its consumer cyclical peers.\nFor those who believe there is a housing bubble right around the corner, consider Ben Carlson’s Fortune article from April. It suggests home loans are mostly being made by people with good credit scores and large down payments, the opposite of the subprime meltdown in 2008.\nIf you combine this fact with the reality that the housing supply isn’t nearly as abundant as it ought to be, you get the picture of a supply issue rather than one of excess demand.\nHere’s what Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller had to say in its Q1 2021 conference call in March.\n\n So, from a macro perspective, the housing market remains strong. Demand has continued to strengthen as the millennial generation, which had previously postponed its entry into the housing market, has now continued to drive family formation, while at the same time, the supply of new and existing homes remains constrained.\n\nTake advantage of these pullbacks. The housing boom hardly seems ready to end anytime soon.\nTesla (TSLA)\nFive-day performance:-6.4%\nInnovation costs money. That’s especially true when it comes to the electrification of transportation. It took Tesla 15 years to post its first annual profit after Elon Musk took control of it in 2004.\nAfter running up huge returns in 2020, Tesla is off almost 27% in the past three months due to many different reasons, including the fact Michael Burry, the man behind the Big Short,has taken a short position using put options on 800,100 shares of TSLA stock.\nAnd while Musk has gone hot and cold over Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD), Tesla shareholders ought to be more worried about the bureaucratic nightmare happening across the pond in Germany as it tries to get its Berlin Gigafactory built.\n“Although things looked good regarding the Tesla facility up to a few weeks ago, a different reality can lie behind a facade,” says Berlin-based auto analyst Matthias Schmidt.\nThe new Berlin airport, which is very close to the Tesla factory, took almost a decade to get regulatory approval from the German authorities. If Tesla takes that long, Musk can forget about becoming the richest person in the world.\nI’m a fan of Musk’s innovative bent, but 2021 could turn out to be one of his most challenging years on record. That makes Tesla one of our stocks to watch.\nChipotle Mexican Grill (CMG)\nFive-day performance:-4.9%\nA piece of news that probably got lost in the shuffle was Chipotle’s March announcement that it plans to accelerate its expansionin to Canada. Over the next year, it will open eight more locations in Canada, including one Chipotlane, the company’s digital drive-up. The openings will be the first since October 2018.\nAs a Canadian, all I can say is, it’s about time.\n“Given the rising popularity of Chipotle’s real food in Canada, we believe there is a massive growth opportunity in this international market,” said Anat Davidzon, Chipotle’s managing director – Canada. “Our team is focused on continuing to find ways to increase access to Chipotle for our Canadian fans.”\nWith only 23 Chipotle locations in four Canadian cities at the moment (Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and London) there is plenty of room for expansion. Hopefully, they’ll open one in Halifax in the next couple of years.\nIn the meantime, Chipotle stock has recovered nicely in recent years. A $5,000 investment three years ago is worth $15,338 today. That’s tasty.\nKeep in mind CMG isn’t cheap at almost 6x sales. However, compared to McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) at 8.9x sales, it’s a bargain.\nMSCI (MSCI)\nFive-day performance:-3.8%\nI don’t know if it’s just me and my self-diagnosed dyslexia, but I always seem to get MSCI confused with S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI). They’re both financial services companies, they both have four-letter stock symbols, and over the past five days of trading, they’re both down a lot more than the index.\nAnd not to be too easy on me, but both companies have index businesses that generate significant revenue and profits for their shareholders. In the past, I’ve recommended both stocks.\nIn May 2020, I recommended MSCI stock as one of seven stocks to buy from the TrimTabs All Cap US Free-Cash Flow ETF(BATS:TTAC). I picked MSCI because its free cash flow had almost doubled from $360 million in 2017 to $660 million in 2019.\nWell, in the trailing 12 months, it was $863 million, a compound annual growth rate of 31% over the past 3.25 years. Frankly, I don’t think you can go wrong owning either MSCI or SPGI.\nHowever, over the past five years, the former has doubled the performance of the latter.

It is also a very difficult business to enter. In addition to massive capital requirements, success in the automotive business demands talented and experienced engineers, a network of factories, and powerful logistics to manage the complexities of the supply chain and manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>In the company’s recent earnings call, Tesla (TSLA) CEO, Elon Musk, compared it to the logistics of managing World War 2. His claim was perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it illustrates the point.</p>\n<p>Despite the low-profit margins and past failed attempts by the likes of Bricklin and DeLorean to enter the business, the promised advent of electric cars has produced a new wave of would-be automakers. Investors have piled into shares of these new entrants hoping to duplicate Tesla’s skyrocketing share performance, driving prices into bubble territory.</p>\n<p>However, Tesla’s financial results continue to demonstrate that the electric car business is no different from the rest of the automotive business. As more competition enters the BEV market prices are squeezed until profit margins are razor-thin. After 16 years of losses, Tesla finally reached profitability, not from selling cars, but from selling regulatory credits to other automakers. I think Tesla has clearly demonstrated that from a profitability viewpoint, electric cars are just cars with a different drive-train and the transformation to electric drives does not change the fundamental nature of the automotive business.</p>\n<p>The EV bubble is now deflating, Tesla is down 30% from its January high. Tesla’s would-be imitators have fared even worse, Lordstown Motors (RIDE) is down 73%, Fisker (FSR) -60%, Canoo (GOEV) – 62%. Tesla’s Chinese competitors' share prices are also falling, despite sharply rising sales. NIO (NIO) is down 40% and XPeng (XPEV) and Li Automotive (LIV) have both fallen more than 50%.</p>\n<p>Against this backdrop of falling share prices among EV companies, Tesla is facing a few headwinds of its own including:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Adverse publicity resulting from quality and safety issues and a public backlash that will probably impact sales in China, its fastest growth market</li>\n <li>Increasing doubts about the safety and capabilities of Tesla’s Full Self Driving option, and the associated liabilities</li>\n <li>Construction delays at the German factory</li>\n <li>Intense competition from legacy automakers in its key markets</li>\n</ul>\n<p>But there is one factor that does not get the same attention in the media but may have an impact on Tesla’s share price in the second half of this year. It is the potential selling pressure from the high volume of “in the money call” options that expire in the next year – The unwinding of the gamma squeeze that some investors claim was the reason why Tesla’s shares reached their astronomical heights last year.</p>\n<p>Option hedging has a significant impact on Tesla’s share price</p>\n<p>Typical trading volumes for TSLA options are around 1 million contracts per day, equivalent to 100 million shares. Share volumes are around 30 million per day, which includes volume generated by market makers option hedging. With those relative volume levels, options trading is certain to have a significant influence on Tesla’s share price.</p>\n<p><b>Delta hedging and the gamma squeeze</b></p>\n<p>When option market makers sell an option, they hedge their exposure by buying shares (or selling if they are exposed to put options). The number of shares they buy or sell (known as Delta) depends on the relative price movement between the option and its underlying share.</p>\n<p>The value of Delta changes with the share price and the time to expiry. The chart below shows how those changes affect the number of shares that the option market makers buy to hedge their call option exposure. Three curves are shown with one-week, four-week, and one-year expiry dates, the X-axis is the share price relative to the option strike price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f6fe1d60b7cacf9eece9460c672dc8f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"408\"><i>Variation of option price with share price and expiry: Data sourced from Option Council</i></p>\n<p>Last year, when Tesla shares were hot, a lot of investors bought long-dated “out of the money” call options which would have been delta hedged by the option market makers. The green curve on the chart above is the delta curve for options with a 1-year expiry. As an example, a $400 call contract ($2,000 pre-split) bought a year ago, would have been on the left edge of the green curve, it would have been hedged at the time with the purchase of about 28 shares.</p>\n<p>If the share price had stayed the same over the past year, those shares would have been gradually sold as the delta curve moved towards the orange and blue curves. However, Tesla's share price has risen and is now about 170% of the $400 call option strike price, the delta is 0.98, another 70 shares have been purchased for hedging.</p>\n<p>This additional share buying for hedging is the \"gamma squeeze\". It has been one of the factors driving the price of Tesla shares upwards, and it will be a factor driving the share price down as the squeeze unwinds with the expiry of the options.</p>\n<p><b>Option expiry and the unwinding of the gamma squeeze</b></p>\n<p>As the expiry date approaches, delta tends to a value of 1.00 for in-the-money options and zero for out-of-the-money options. In theory, market makers would like to be holding, at expiry, one share for every ITM call option minus one share for each ITM put option to which they are exposed.</p>\n<p>If the options are held to expiry, they are exercised and the long or short position transfers to the option holder, with no effect on the market. However, most option holders do not hold the option to expiry, many will sell the option before expiry or hedge the position by buying or selling shares.</p>\n<p>Selling an ITM call option that has a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to sell 100 shares and selling an ITM put option with a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to buy 100 shares, so an imbalance between open interest in ITM calls and ITM puts will result in a net sale (or purchase)</p>\n<p>If option trading were the only driver of market prices the share price on expiry would trend towards the point where the open interest in ITM calls equals the open interest in ITM puts. I’ll refer to that as the put/call balance point.</p>\n<p><b>The effect of short expiry versus long expiry options</b></p>\n<p>Most weekly options don’t come to the market until 8 weeks before expiry, they tend to be traded at strike prices close to the share price, so the put/call balance point is usually close to the share price, and the impact on expiry is small.</p>\n<p>But the options that have been on the market for longer, the June, September, and January regular options show a strong imbalance between ITM calls and ITM puts, and much higher overall open interest. Option market makers are holding significant long positions to hedge those ITM calls, and those long positions will unwind as the calls approach expiry, releasing millions of shares onto the market.</p>\n<p>Based on data from May 7th, open ITM call interest in the June 18thoptions exceeds ITM put interest by 170,000 contracts (17 million shares), the balance point is at $440 as shown in the chart below:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f47d2184c62ffb8f38c4cc633baac772\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"353\"><i>Open interest in Tesla Calls and Puts that are in the money at various share prices: Source data from Options Council, May 7th.</i></p>\n<p>If this theory is correct, as the upcoming June 18thcall option expiry approaches it will tend to push the Tesla share price towards $440 as the gamma squeeze unwinds, creating downward pressure on the share price.</p>\n<p>This does not all happen on options expiry day, open interest in the June ITM calls has been falling steadily since I started keeping records in February, indicating that some investors have been taking profits already.</p>\n<p><b>A falling share price generates downward gamma</b></p>\n<p>In addition to the effects of options expiry, there is the gamma effect as the share price moves up or down. The delta values move up or down their respective curves and option market makers buy or sell options to maintain their hedges. A falling share price generates selling of shares to unwind option hedges for all options, not just the expiring options, and it has the same directional effect for both puts and calls, i.e. selling when the price moves down and buying when the price moves up. This effect will magnify any downward moves, just as it magnified upward moves as Tesla’s share price rose last year.</p>\n<p>If you Google \"gamma squeeze\" you will find many articles describing how heavy call buying forces share prices up, but very few of those articles mention that the gamma squeeze works in both directions.</p>\n<p><b>Summary and Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>There is a large volume of deep-in-the-money call options purchased during Tesla’s share price run-up last year that will expire June 18th. This option expiry may precipitate selling as the option positions are closed and market makers remove their delta hedges. This will put downward pressure on the share price as the options expire. Further downward pressure is likely as the September and January options move towards expiry.</p>\n<p>Options trading is not the only factor that determines share prices but combined with other factors that appear to be pressuring Tesla’s share price at present, I think this would be a good time to take profits if you hold a long position, and don’t be tempted to buy the dip if the share price drops over the next few weeks.</p>\n<p><b>A note about data source and possible inaccuracies</b></p>\n<p>All the information used to develop the charts, calculations, and conclusions in this article has been downloaded fromThe Options Councilwebsite.

It is also a very difficult business to enter. In addition to massive capital requirements, success in the automotive business demands talented and experienced engineers, a network of factories, and powerful logistics to manage the complexities of the supply chain and manufacturing process.\nIn the company’s recent earnings call, Tesla (TSLA) CEO, Elon Musk, compared it to the logistics of managing World War 2. His claim was perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it illustrates the point.\nDespite the low-profit margins and past failed attempts by the likes of Bricklin and DeLorean to enter the business, the promised advent of electric cars has produced a new wave of would-be automakers. Investors have piled into shares of these new entrants hoping to duplicate Tesla’s skyrocketing share performance, driving prices into bubble territory.\nHowever, Tesla’s financial results continue to demonstrate that the electric car business is no different from the rest of the automotive business. As more competition enters the BEV market prices are squeezed until profit margins are razor-thin. After 16 years of losses, Tesla finally reached profitability, not from selling cars, but from selling regulatory credits to other automakers. I think Tesla has clearly demonstrated that from a profitability viewpoint, electric cars are just cars with a different drive-train and the transformation to electric drives does not change the fundamental nature of the automotive business.\nThe EV bubble is now deflating, Tesla is down 30% from its January high. Tesla’s would-be imitators have fared even worse, Lordstown Motors (RIDE) is down 73%, Fisker (FSR) -60%, Canoo (GOEV) – 62%. Tesla’s Chinese competitors' share prices are also falling, despite sharply rising sales. NIO (NIO) is down 40% and XPeng (XPEV) and Li Automotive (LIV) have both fallen more than 50%.\nAgainst this backdrop of falling share prices among EV companies, Tesla is facing a few headwinds of its own including:\n\nAdverse publicity resulting from quality and safety issues and a public backlash that will probably impact sales in China, its fastest growth market\nIncreasing doubts about the safety and capabilities of Tesla’s Full Self Driving option, and the associated liabilities\nConstruction delays at the German factory\nIntense competition from legacy automakers in its key markets\n\nBut there is one factor that does not get the same attention in the media but may have an impact on Tesla’s share price in the second half of this year. It is the potential selling pressure from the high volume of “in the money call” options that expire in the next year – The unwinding of the gamma squeeze that some investors claim was the reason why Tesla’s shares reached their astronomical heights last year.\nOption hedging has a significant impact on Tesla’s share price\nTypical trading volumes for TSLA options are around 1 million contracts per day, equivalent to 100 million shares. Share volumes are around 30 million per day, which includes volume generated by market makers option hedging. With those relative volume levels, options trading is certain to have a significant influence on Tesla’s share price.\nDelta hedging and the gamma squeeze\nWhen option market makers sell an option, they hedge their exposure by buying shares (or selling if they are exposed to put options). The number of shares they buy or sell (known as Delta) depends on the relative price movement between the option and its underlying share.\nThe value of Delta changes with the share price and the time to expiry. The chart below shows how those changes affect the number of shares that the option market makers buy to hedge their call option exposure. Three curves are shown with one-week, four-week, and one-year expiry dates, the X-axis is the share price relative to the option strike price.\nVariation of option price with share price and expiry: Data sourced from Option Council\nLast year, when Tesla shares were hot, a lot of investors bought long-dated “out of the money” call options which would have been delta hedged by the option market makers. The green curve on the chart above is the delta curve for options with a 1-year expiry. As an example, a $400 call contract ($2,000 pre-split) bought a year ago, would have been on the left edge of the green curve, it would have been hedged at the time with the purchase of about 28 shares.\nIf the share price had stayed the same over the past year, those shares would have been gradually sold as the delta curve moved towards the orange and blue curves. However, Tesla's share price has risen and is now about 170% of the $400 call option strike price, the delta is 0.98, another 70 shares have been purchased for hedging.\nThis additional share buying for hedging is the \"gamma squeeze\". It has been one of the factors driving the price of Tesla shares upwards, and it will be a factor driving the share price down as the squeeze unwinds with the expiry of the options.\nOption expiry and the unwinding of the gamma squeeze\nAs the expiry date approaches, delta tends to a value of 1.00 for in-the-money options and zero for out-of-the-money options. In theory, market makers would like to be holding, at expiry, one share for every ITM call option minus one share for each ITM put option to which they are exposed.\nIf the options are held to expiry, they are exercised and the long or short position transfers to the option holder, with no effect on the market. However, most option holders do not hold the option to expiry, many will sell the option before expiry or hedge the position by buying or selling shares.\nSelling an ITM call option that has a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to sell 100 shares and selling an ITM put option with a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to buy 100 shares, so an imbalance between open interest in ITM calls and ITM puts will result in a net sale (or purchase)\nIf option trading were the only driver of market prices the share price on expiry would trend towards the point where the open interest in ITM calls equals the open interest in ITM puts. I’ll refer to that as the put/call balance point.\nThe effect of short expiry versus long expiry options\nMost weekly options don’t come to the market until 8 weeks before expiry, they tend to be traded at strike prices close to the share price, so the put/call balance point is usually close to the share price, and the impact on expiry is small.\nBut the options that have been on the market for longer, the June, September, and January regular options show a strong imbalance between ITM calls and ITM puts, and much higher overall open interest. Option market makers are holding significant long positions to hedge those ITM calls, and those long positions will unwind as the calls approach expiry, releasing millions of shares onto the market.\nBased on data from May 7th, open ITM call interest in the June 18thoptions exceeds ITM put interest by 170,000 contracts (17 million shares), the balance point is at $440 as shown in the chart below:\nOpen interest in Tesla Calls and Puts that are in the money at various share prices: Source data from Options Council, May 7th.\nIf this theory is correct, as the upcoming June 18thcall option expiry approaches it will tend to push the Tesla share price towards $440 as the gamma squeeze unwinds, creating downward pressure on the share price.\nThis does not all happen on options expiry day, open interest in the June ITM calls has been falling steadily since I started keeping records in February, indicating that some investors have been taking profits already.\nA falling share price generates downward gamma\nIn addition to the effects of options expiry, there is the gamma effect as the share price moves up or down. The delta values move up or down their respective curves and option market makers buy or sell options to maintain their hedges. A falling share price generates selling of shares to unwind option hedges for all options, not just the expiring options, and it has the same directional effect for both puts and calls, i.e. selling when the price moves down and buying when the price moves up. This effect will magnify any downward moves, just as it magnified upward moves as Tesla’s share price rose last year.\nIf you Google \"gamma squeeze\" you will find many articles describing how heavy call buying forces share prices up, but very few of those articles mention that the gamma squeeze works in both directions.\nSummary and Conclusion\nThere is a large volume of deep-in-the-money call options purchased during Tesla’s share price run-up last year that will expire June 18th. This option expiry may precipitate selling as the option positions are closed and market makers remove their delta hedges. This will put downward pressure on the share price as the options expire. Further downward pressure is likely as the September and January options move towards expiry.\nOptions trading is not the only factor that determines share prices but combined with other factors that appear to be pressuring Tesla’s share price at present, I think this would be a good time to take profits if you hold a long position, and don’t be tempted to buy the dip if the share price drops over the next few weeks.\nA note about data source and possible inaccuracies\nAll the information used to develop the charts, calculations, and conclusions in this article has been downloaded fromThe Options Councilwebsite. The information has some flaws which limit the accuracy of the data.\nOption open interest is posted on the site daily before the market opens. The information posted is total open interest, not net open interest. If someone holds a long call and someone else holds a short call of the same strike and expiry, those positions will post as two open interests. That introduces inaccuracy in the data because we don’t know how much of the stated open interest is long and how much is short.\nHowever, I believe that most of the long-dated deep-in-the-money calls will be long positions and the conclusions are valid.\nI hold a very small position in July puts.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":145129703,"gmtCreate":1626202338702,"gmtModify":1633929123779,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[开心]&nbsp;","listText":"[开心]&nbsp;","text":"[开心]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":11,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/145129703","repostId":"2151156669","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":860840846,"gmtCreate":1632155331185,"gmtModify":1632802441584,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/860840846","repostId":"1124728794","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124728794","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1632154404,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124728794?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-21 00:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Market sell-off worsens with Dow dropping 650 points, S&P 500 losing 2%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124728794","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 21)&nbsp;Market sell-off worsens with Dow dropping 650 points, S&P 500 losing 2%.","content":"<p>(Sept 21)&nbsp;Market sell-off worsens with Dow dropping 650 points, S&amp;P 500 losing 2%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1aff42b5f28f13e23dc15c6bee909d3\" tg-width=\"350\" tg-height=\"130\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But don't let this distract from the fact that the iconic <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> (DJINDICES:^DJI) has had a stellar year. Through this past weekend, the price-weighted index comprised of 30 multinational companies was up about 13%.</p>\n<p>But just because the Dow, as a whole, has done well in 2021, it doesn't mean bargains can't be found. At the moment, there are three Dow stocks absolutely begging to be bought by growth, value, or income investors in December.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/789196b3d59ea758b03121ea67790d5a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>For growth investors, there's little question that the Dow stock to back the truck up on in December is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solution provider <b>Salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>Like most growth stocks that have been valued at a premium, Salesforce took it on the chin following its fiscal third quarter 2022 operating results, which were released last week. Though Wall Street seemed pleased with the recently completed quarter, the company's sales guidance for fiscal 2023 was essentially in-line with expectations. Since Salesforce has a habit of upping its sales forecast, investors appear worried about a growth slowdown and/or higher near-term costs associated with the recently completed <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a> acquisition.</p>\n<p>While these might sound like tangible concerns, they're very short-sighted and don't affect the long-term growth trajectory for Salesforce.</p>\n<p>CRM software is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity through at least the midpoint of this decade, if not well beyond. CRM software, which helps consumer-facing businesses enhance existing client relationships and improve sales, is a no-brainer solution for most service industry companies, but is quickly gaining utility in the financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.</p>\n<p>Salesforce sits on a pedestal within the CRM software space, and no other company even comes close. When IDC examined global CRM spending for 2020, it found that Salesforce accounted for 19.5% of worldwide revenue. That's more than the four closest competitors behind it on a combined basis. This suggests the company isn't going to lose its competitive edge anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Growth investors will also appreciate CEO Marc Benioff's penchant for acquisitions. Key buyouts, such as MuleSoft, Tableau, and Slack, have expanded the usefulness of the Salesforce ecosystem, allowed the company to cross-sell its solutions on diverse platforms, and helped it reach a wider array of small-and-medium-sized businesses.</p>\n<p>With Benioff expecting full-year sales to grow from $21.3 billion to at least $50 billion in a five-year stretch, any significant pullback in Salesforce's shares represents a surefire buying opportunity.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/467adad2d31104b83afa51e5b1425137\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Merck</h2>\n<p>Value investors, this one's for you! Following a nearly 20% sell-off over the past month, shares of pharmaceutical stock <b>Merck</b> (NYSE:MRK) are now begging to be bought.</p>\n<p>\"Why the sell-off?\" you ask? The answer probably has to do with the early November-released trial results of <b>Pfizer</b>'s (NYSE:PFE) COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment. Based on an interim analysis of a phase 2/3 trial, this oral treatment reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in non-hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Merck's oral COVID-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50% in COVID-19 patients.&nbsp; Though these treatments weren't pitted head-to-head, the nominal efficacy award looks to go to Pfizer -- at least based on how investors have reacted since the data release.</p>\n<p>But here's the thing: Merck was worth buying well before it delivered encouraging phase 3 results from its oral antiviral study in COVID-19 patients. In fact, COVID-19 treatments don't even need to play a role for Merck to head higher, in my opinion.</p>\n<p>The front-and-center reason to be excited about Merck's future is cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. Based on the $4.53 billion in sales generated from Keytruda in the third quarter, it's on pace for more than $18 billion in annual run-rate revenue. If we exclude COVID-19 vaccines, this would make it the second best-selling drug in the world, behind only anti-inflammatory drug Humira. Keytruda is being examined in a number of additional trials (mostly as a combination treatment), which could further expand its label and make it the top-selling non-vaccine drug in the world.</p>\n<p>The other exciting growth trend Merck offers is its animal health division. Its focus on both livestock and companion animals has yielded consistent double-digit sales growth. But between the two, companion animals, such as cats and dogs, offer more upside. Year-over-year spending on pets in the U.S. hasn't declined in over a quarter of a century, and pet owners have shown they'll spend whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of their furry family members.</p>\n<p>Following its recent tumble, Merck shares are now valued at a multiple of just 10 times Wall Street's forecasted earnings per share in 2022. That's a bargain for a company delivering steady sales growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb0880fa9f40b9af4d310e1390a18754\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Verizon</h2>\n<p>Finally, for income investors, the third Dow stock begging to be bought in December is telecom behemoth <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ). Shares are down a hair over 10% in the trailing six-month period.</p>\n<p>There look to be two reasons why Verizon is down on its luck in recent months. First, investors have predominantly favored growth stocks over mature income plays. And second, Verizon has had to spend big on spectrum and infrastructure upgrades, which means it's carrying around quite a bit of debt. This debt could be keeping some investors on the sideline.</p>\n<p>But similar to Salesforce, the worries surrounding Verizon look to be either overblown or short-term in nature. The company has generated over $40 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, and its dividend payout ratio is below 50%. Based on its balance sheet, Verizon's 5% yield is sustainable and its debt servicing is manageable.</p>\n<p>Despite being a mature business, Verizon has two organic growth catalysts that could fuel modest upside through mid-decade. First, there's the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were meaningfully improved. The rollout of 5G should lead to a multiyear device upgrade cycle with a steady increase in data consumption.

But don't let this distract from the fact that the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) has had a stellar year. Through this past weekend, the price-weighted index comprised of 30 multinational companies was up about 13%.\nBut just because the Dow, as a whole, has done well in 2021, it doesn't mean bargains can't be found. At the moment, there are three Dow stocks absolutely begging to be bought by growth, value, or income investors in December.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nFor growth investors, there's little question that the Dow stock to back the truck up on in December is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solution provider Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).\nLike most growth stocks that have been valued at a premium, Salesforce took it on the chin following its fiscal third quarter 2022 operating results, which were released last week. Though Wall Street seemed pleased with the recently completed quarter, the company's sales guidance for fiscal 2023 was essentially in-line with expectations. Since Salesforce has a habit of upping its sales forecast, investors appear worried about a growth slowdown and/or higher near-term costs associated with the recently completed Slack Technologies acquisition.\nWhile these might sound like tangible concerns, they're very short-sighted and don't affect the long-term growth trajectory for Salesforce.\nCRM software is a sustainable double-digit growth opportunity through at least the midpoint of this decade, if not well beyond. CRM software, which helps consumer-facing businesses enhance existing client relationships and improve sales, is a no-brainer solution for most service industry companies, but is quickly gaining utility in the financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors.\nSalesforce sits on a pedestal within the CRM software space, and no other company even comes close. When IDC examined global CRM spending for 2020, it found that Salesforce accounted for 19.5% of worldwide revenue. That's more than the four closest competitors behind it on a combined basis. This suggests the company isn't going to lose its competitive edge anytime soon.\nGrowth investors will also appreciate CEO Marc Benioff's penchant for acquisitions. Key buyouts, such as MuleSoft, Tableau, and Slack, have expanded the usefulness of the Salesforce ecosystem, allowed the company to cross-sell its solutions on diverse platforms, and helped it reach a wider array of small-and-medium-sized businesses.\nWith Benioff expecting full-year sales to grow from $21.3 billion to at least $50 billion in a five-year stretch, any significant pullback in Salesforce's shares represents a surefire buying opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMerck\nValue investors, this one's for you! Following a nearly 20% sell-off over the past month, shares of pharmaceutical stock Merck (NYSE:MRK) are now begging to be bought.\n\"Why the sell-off?\" you ask? The answer probably has to do with the early November-released trial results of Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment. Based on an interim analysis of a phase 2/3 trial, this oral treatment reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% in non-hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19. Meanwhile, Merck's oral COVID-19 pill reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50% in COVID-19 patients.  Though these treatments weren't pitted head-to-head, the nominal efficacy award looks to go to Pfizer -- at least based on how investors have reacted since the data release.\nBut here's the thing: Merck was worth buying well before it delivered encouraging phase 3 results from its oral antiviral study in COVID-19 patients. In fact, COVID-19 treatments don't even need to play a role for Merck to head higher, in my opinion.\nThe front-and-center reason to be excited about Merck's future is cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. Based on the $4.53 billion in sales generated from Keytruda in the third quarter, it's on pace for more than $18 billion in annual run-rate revenue. If we exclude COVID-19 vaccines, this would make it the second best-selling drug in the world, behind only anti-inflammatory drug Humira. Keytruda is being examined in a number of additional trials (mostly as a combination treatment), which could further expand its label and make it the top-selling non-vaccine drug in the world.\nThe other exciting growth trend Merck offers is its animal health division. Its focus on both livestock and companion animals has yielded consistent double-digit sales growth. But between the two, companion animals, such as cats and dogs, offer more upside. Year-over-year spending on pets in the U.S. hasn't declined in over a quarter of a century, and pet owners have shown they'll spend whatever is necessary to ensure the well-being of their furry family members.\nFollowing its recent tumble, Merck shares are now valued at a multiple of just 10 times Wall Street's forecasted earnings per share in 2022. That's a bargain for a company delivering steady sales growth.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nVerizon\nFinally, for income investors, the third Dow stock begging to be bought in December is telecom behemoth Verizon (NYSE:VZ). Shares are down a hair over 10% in the trailing six-month period.\nThere look to be two reasons why Verizon is down on its luck in recent months. First, investors have predominantly favored growth stocks over mature income plays. And second, Verizon has had to spend big on spectrum and infrastructure upgrades, which means it's carrying around quite a bit of debt. This debt could be keeping some investors on the sideline.\nBut similar to Salesforce, the worries surrounding Verizon look to be either overblown or short-term in nature. The company has generated over $40 billion in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, and its dividend payout ratio is below 50%. Based on its balance sheet, Verizon's 5% yield is sustainable and its debt servicing is manageable.\nDespite being a mature business, Verizon has two organic growth catalysts that could fuel modest upside through mid-decade. First, there's the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were meaningfully improved. The rollout of 5G should lead to a multiyear device upgrade cycle with a steady increase in data consumption. Since data is where Verizon derives its juiciest wireless margins, 5G infrastructure investments should begin paying off handsomely very soon.\nThe other key growth driver for Verizon is in-home fixed wireless broadband services. Verizon has been an aggressive acquirer of 5G mid-band spectrum in 2021. The expectation is that Verizon can double the number of households it's servicing with fixed wireless broadband services from 15 million in 2021 to 30 million by the end of 2023.\nVerizon may not be the growth story it once was, but a 5% dividend yield and price-to-earnings ratio of a little over nine make it ripe for the picking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":666,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":151854933,"gmtCreate":1625073500322,"gmtModify":1633945095780,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/151854933","repostId":"1123487269","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":475,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112091933,"gmtCreate":1622822491922,"gmtModify":1634097620326,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/112091933","repostId":"1154529120","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154529120","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622810459,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1154529120?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-04 20:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Can Alibaba Stock Hit $500?

At the same time, through a range of ventures, Alibaba is also active in additional industries, such as cloud computing. Shares have declined considerably over the last couple of months, but I believe that the long-term potential is significant. I would not be surprised to see shares rise towards $500, although that will not happen in the near term.</p>\n<p><b>BABA Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Since its IPO, Alibaba has seen strong share price gains, but it should also be mentioned that shares did peek in H2 2020, and have declined considerably since then:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8079eeb5384ea003fb3725d3cd1e877f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares are now basically where they were one year ago, as the gains during summer 2020 have been erased when Ant Financial's IPO plans were stopped. The flat share price performance over the last year is somewhat surprising, though, as Alibaba continued to generate strong results in that time frame. During the last quarter, for example, Alibaba showcased a&nbsp;revenue growth rate of 64%, while revenue growth during the previous quarter was also very strong, at around 50%. This is not the only positive in Alibaba's earnings releases, however. The company also managed to grow its user count by 32 million during the most recent quarter alone, which equates to an annualized user growth rate of around 20%. This bodes well for future quarters, as more users on Alibaba's platform should translate into higher revenues. On top of that, the strong user growth shows that there is still growing demand for the shopping services that Alibaba's platforms offer -- the market is not saturated at all. Alibaba also managed to grow its EBITDA by 25% year over year, which is an attractive growth pace as well, and which was achieved despite growing investments in what management calls key growth areas. Income from operations, meanwhile, grew at an even faster pace, thanks to some operating leverage, rising by 48% year over year when adjusted for the fine that Alibaba had to pay during Q1. It makes, I believe, sense to back out this one-time item to get a clearer picture about Alibaba's underlying, \"core\" profitability during an average quarter.</p>\n<p>Alibaba Group's weak share price performance, relative to the broad market and other tech names, is thus not the result of weak operating performance, but rather a result of multiple compression, driven by weak investor sentiment due to China exposure and&nbsp;fears about regulation.</p>\n<p>At its current price of $220, BABA trades at a quite large discount compared to the current consensus analyst price target of $298. If Alibaba were to hit that, shares would gain 35%. Analyst price targets are usually issued with a 1-year time frame, thus, if the analyst community is correct, Alibaba could be a great investment. From a valuation standpoint, this price target doesn't seem outrageous at all, as $298 would equate to around 29x this year's expected net profits, or 23x next year's net earnings. The latter is likely the more telling one when we talk about a price target for summer 2022, i.e. 1 year from now.</p>\n<p><b>Can Alibaba Stock Hit $500?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that question, I think, depends on your time frame. If you are looking at a 12-month window, then Alibaba will most likely not be able to hit $500. The ~$300 price target seems achievable, although that is, of course, also not guaranteed. If, however, we take a longer-term view, then $500 seems like a share price that BABA could hit eventually. Let's look at a couple of examples.</p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $20 at some point and traded at an earnings multiple of 25, then shares would trade at $500.</i></p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $25 and traded at a 20x earnings multiple, then shares would trade at $500.</i></p>\n<p><i>- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $17 and traded at 29x its net profits, then shares would trade at (marginally below) $500.</i></p>\n<p>We see that there are many scenarios that could get us to a $500 share price for BABA, some of them more likely than others. Of course, the higher your target multiple, the lower the earnings that would be required. This, in turn, means that the price target can be hit sooner, as less cumulative earnings growth would be required. When we take a look at how Alibaba was valued in the past, we see that the longer-term median earnings multiples for BABA look like this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd2d42b7094deb394266d6410287c2e4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 30-40x net earnings, Alibaba was clearly trading at a massive premium relative to how shares are valued today (around 20x this year's earnings). I think that the current valuation is too low, but on the other hand, I do not expect Alibaba to trade at 30, 35, or even 40x net profits in coming years. Due to the growing scale of Alibaba, which makes it a little harder to maintain its excellent growth in coming years, shares will likely trade at a lower valuation in coming years, compared to how they were valued in the past.</p>\n<p>I still think that shares do have some valuation expansion potential from the current earnings multiple of around 21, thus let's assume that shares trade at 23x net profits in the future. This would still represent a massive discount versus the historic valuation, and also a substantial discount compared to how US-based high-tech mega-caps are valued -- Amazon (AMZN), for example, trades at 59x this year's earnings.</p>\n<p>If we want to get to a $500 share price for BABA using a 23x earnings multiple, then we get to earnings per share of $21.70 that Alibaba must generate. When could this be the case? In the following chart, we see EPS estimates for the current year, next year (CY 2022), and CY 2023:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fcf78e0b071eff9753afbdcd96f751c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>If analysts are right, Alibaba will not get to earn $22 a share through 2023, and I think that is realistic. I do not see earnings per share rising by 100%+ between this year and 2023, either. From 2023, it would take another 43% increase in Alibaba's earnings per share to get to $21.70, which is our \"target EPS\" for a $500 share price.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b4c351b4b5eb3328191ccaa9a3b776c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Analysts are currently forecasting long-term EPS growth of around 27%, which would mean it would take Alibaba about 1.5 years to grow its EPS from $15.20 (2023 estimate) to our target of $21.70. Even if we assume that this is too optimistic and that growth will be just 20% in 2024 and 2025, EPS of $21.70 could be hit by the end of 2025. So, in other words, if Alibaba grows a little less than what analysts are forecasting right now, Alibaba could trade at $500 by the end of 2025 -- or 4.5 years from now. Note that this scenario does not require a high earnings multiple at all -- at 23x net profits, Alibaba wouldn't be expensive, I believe.</p>\n<p>We can get even more conservative and assume that the 2023 EPS estimate is 10% too high and that EPS will grow by just 17% a year in the years beyond 2023 (versus a long-term forecast of 27% a year by the analyst community). In that case, Alibaba would hit $21.70 in earnings per share in 2026, and shares would rise to $500 over the next 5.5 years. Even in this scenario, BABA wouldn't be a bad investment at all -- a 130% share price increase from the current level over the next 5.5 years would equate to annualized returns of 16%.</p>\n<p>So, to sum this section up, I'd say<i>yes, BABA can hit $500</i>-- but it will realistically take a couple of years. By the mid-2020s, this seems like a very achievable goal to me, although there are, of course, no guarantees.</p>\n<p><b>Is Alibaba Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba Group is, I believe, a strong investment. The company generates strong growth, profits from multiple long-term macro trends, such as growing consumer spending in China, growing e-commerce market share, and cloud computing. There are, however, risks to consider: Alibaba is highly China-dependent, and in case the economic growth story in China ends, Alibaba would be hurt a lot. On top of that, Alibaba could be targeted again by regulators, although I personally think that it is not in China's best interest to hurt one of its highest-growth tech companies.</p>\n<p>For those that worry about these risks, Alibaba may not be the right choice, but for those that see Alibaba as a potentially very rewarding play on Chinese consumers, BABA could be a strong pick in a diversified portfolio.

At the same time, through a range of ventures, Alibaba is also active in additional industries, such as cloud computing. Shares have declined considerably over the last couple of months, but I believe that the long-term potential is significant. I would not be surprised to see shares rise towards $500, although that will not happen in the near term.\nBABA Stock Price\nSince its IPO, Alibaba has seen strong share price gains, but it should also be mentioned that shares did peek in H2 2020, and have declined considerably since then:\nData byYCharts\nShares are now basically where they were one year ago, as the gains during summer 2020 have been erased when Ant Financial's IPO plans were stopped. The flat share price performance over the last year is somewhat surprising, though, as Alibaba continued to generate strong results in that time frame. During the last quarter, for example, Alibaba showcased a revenue growth rate of 64%, while revenue growth during the previous quarter was also very strong, at around 50%. This is not the only positive in Alibaba's earnings releases, however. The company also managed to grow its user count by 32 million during the most recent quarter alone, which equates to an annualized user growth rate of around 20%. This bodes well for future quarters, as more users on Alibaba's platform should translate into higher revenues. On top of that, the strong user growth shows that there is still growing demand for the shopping services that Alibaba's platforms offer -- the market is not saturated at all. Alibaba also managed to grow its EBITDA by 25% year over year, which is an attractive growth pace as well, and which was achieved despite growing investments in what management calls key growth areas. Income from operations, meanwhile, grew at an even faster pace, thanks to some operating leverage, rising by 48% year over year when adjusted for the fine that Alibaba had to pay during Q1. It makes, I believe, sense to back out this one-time item to get a clearer picture about Alibaba's underlying, \"core\" profitability during an average quarter.\nAlibaba Group's weak share price performance, relative to the broad market and other tech names, is thus not the result of weak operating performance, but rather a result of multiple compression, driven by weak investor sentiment due to China exposure and fears about regulation.\nAt its current price of $220, BABA trades at a quite large discount compared to the current consensus analyst price target of $298. If Alibaba were to hit that, shares would gain 35%. Analyst price targets are usually issued with a 1-year time frame, thus, if the analyst community is correct, Alibaba could be a great investment. From a valuation standpoint, this price target doesn't seem outrageous at all, as $298 would equate to around 29x this year's expected net profits, or 23x next year's net earnings. The latter is likely the more telling one when we talk about a price target for summer 2022, i.e. 1 year from now.\nCan Alibaba Stock Hit $500?\nThe answer to that question, I think, depends on your time frame. If you are looking at a 12-month window, then Alibaba will most likely not be able to hit $500. The ~$300 price target seems achievable, although that is, of course, also not guaranteed. If, however, we take a longer-term view, then $500 seems like a share price that BABA could hit eventually. Let's look at a couple of examples.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $20 at some point and traded at an earnings multiple of 25, then shares would trade at $500.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $25 and traded at a 20x earnings multiple, then shares would trade at $500.\n- If Alibaba were to generate earnings per share of $17 and traded at 29x its net profits, then shares would trade at (marginally below) $500.\nWe see that there are many scenarios that could get us to a $500 share price for BABA, some of them more likely than others. Of course, the higher your target multiple, the lower the earnings that would be required. This, in turn, means that the price target can be hit sooner, as less cumulative earnings growth would be required. When we take a look at how Alibaba was valued in the past, we see that the longer-term median earnings multiples for BABA look like this:\nData byYCharts\nAt 30-40x net earnings, Alibaba was clearly trading at a massive premium relative to how shares are valued today (around 20x this year's earnings). I think that the current valuation is too low, but on the other hand, I do not expect Alibaba to trade at 30, 35, or even 40x net profits in coming years. Due to the growing scale of Alibaba, which makes it a little harder to maintain its excellent growth in coming years, shares will likely trade at a lower valuation in coming years, compared to how they were valued in the past.\nI still think that shares do have some valuation expansion potential from the current earnings multiple of around 21, thus let's assume that shares trade at 23x net profits in the future. This would still represent a massive discount versus the historic valuation, and also a substantial discount compared to how US-based high-tech mega-caps are valued -- Amazon (AMZN), for example, trades at 59x this year's earnings.\nIf we want to get to a $500 share price for BABA using a 23x earnings multiple, then we get to earnings per share of $21.70 that Alibaba must generate. When could this be the case? In the following chart, we see EPS estimates for the current year, next year (CY 2022), and CY 2023:\nData byYCharts\nIf analysts are right, Alibaba will not get to earn $22 a share through 2023, and I think that is realistic. I do not see earnings per share rising by 100%+ between this year and 2023, either. From 2023, it would take another 43% increase in Alibaba's earnings per share to get to $21.70, which is our \"target EPS\" for a $500 share price.\nData byYCharts\nAnalysts are currently forecasting long-term EPS growth of around 27%, which would mean it would take Alibaba about 1.5 years to grow its EPS from $15.20 (2023 estimate) to our target of $21.70. Even if we assume that this is too optimistic and that growth will be just 20% in 2024 and 2025, EPS of $21.70 could be hit by the end of 2025. So, in other words, if Alibaba grows a little less than what analysts are forecasting right now, Alibaba could trade at $500 by the end of 2025 -- or 4.5 years from now. Note that this scenario does not require a high earnings multiple at all -- at 23x net profits, Alibaba wouldn't be expensive, I believe.\nWe can get even more conservative and assume that the 2023 EPS estimate is 10% too high and that EPS will grow by just 17% a year in the years beyond 2023 (versus a long-term forecast of 27% a year by the analyst community). In that case, Alibaba would hit $21.70 in earnings per share in 2026, and shares would rise to $500 over the next 5.5 years. Even in this scenario, BABA wouldn't be a bad investment at all -- a 130% share price increase from the current level over the next 5.5 years would equate to annualized returns of 16%.\nSo, to sum this section up, I'd sayyes, BABA can hit $500-- but it will realistically take a couple of years. By the mid-2020s, this seems like a very achievable goal to me, although there are, of course, no guarantees.\nIs Alibaba Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?\nAlibaba Group is, I believe, a strong investment. The company generates strong growth, profits from multiple long-term macro trends, such as growing consumer spending in China, growing e-commerce market share, and cloud computing. There are, however, risks to consider: Alibaba is highly China-dependent, and in case the economic growth story in China ends, Alibaba would be hurt a lot. On top of that, Alibaba could be targeted again by regulators, although I personally think that it is not in China's best interest to hurt one of its highest-growth tech companies.\nFor those that worry about these risks, Alibaba may not be the right choice, but for those that see Alibaba as a potentially very rewarding play on Chinese consumers, BABA could be a strong pick in a diversified portfolio. I belong to the latter group and thus rate the stock a buy at current valuations, expecting significant upside over the coming years. Depending on your risk tolerance and how you weigh the opportunities and threats of investing in Chinese companies, you may decide differently, however.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115654185,"gmtCreate":1622990211547,"gmtModify":1634096376627,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/115654185","repostId":"1165368747","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165368747","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622940597,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1165368747?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-06 08:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s 2021 WWDC Keynote Is Monday.

The stock is down about 5% year to date but up about 43% since last year’s WWDC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349710380,"gmtCreate":1617637458440,"gmtModify":1634297380641,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/349710380","repostId":"2125509847","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349382787,"gmtCreate":1617544500849,"gmtModify":1634520581010,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/349382787","repostId":"1191998262","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191998262","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617366158,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191998262?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-02 20:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How Likely Is a Stock Market Crash?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191998262","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"You may not like the answer.\n\nFor the past year, investors have enjoyed one of the greatest bounce-b","content":"<blockquote>\n You may not like the answer.\n</blockquote>\n<p>For the past year, investors have enjoyed one of the greatest bounce-back rallies of all time.

The rally began after 2:30 p.m. (1930 GMT).</p>\n<p>Other so-called “stonks” - an intentional misspelling of ‘stocks’ - favored by retail traders on sites such as Reddit’s WallStreetBets, also shot higher. AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc gained 18%, Koss Corp rallied more than 50% and BlackBerry Corp rose nearly 9%. Shares of Canadian cannabis company Tilray Inc gained nearly 13%.</p>\n<p>Analysts could not pinpoint one reason for the sharp move. At least one ruled out a short squeeze like that which fired the “Reddit rally” in January when mom-and-pop investors bought GameStop furiously to punish hedge funds that had bet against the retailer. Some Twitter users pointed to an activist investor’s tweet of an ice cream cone picture. Others cited factors including a reshuffling of top executives and options trading.</p>\n<p>Shortly before 2 p.m., activist investor Ryan Cohen, a major shareholder of GameStop and founder of Chewy.com, tweeted a picture of a McDonald’s ice cream cone with a frog emoji. Some GameStop bulls wondered online whether it was a veiled message that Cohen would fix GameStop’s business, like the fast-food chain fixed its ice cream machines.</p>\n<p>“I don’t know what an ice-cream means,” said Michael Pachter, an analyst covering GameStop at Wedbush Securities. “People are looking for signals.”</p>\n<p>Others pointed to the resignation of GameStop Chief Financial Officer Jim Bell as the company focuses on shifting into technology-driven sales.</p>\n<p>“GameStop announced the resignation of its CFO last night. Some may have taken this as a good sign that RC Ventures is making a difference at the company in terms of trying to accelerate the shift to digital,” said Joseph Feldman, an analyst at Telsey Advisory Group.</p>\n<p>Stephanie Wissink, analyst at Jefferies Research cited her research report noting that the CFO resigned after the company settled with activist investor Ryan Cohen’s RC Ventures.

At the day’s high, Kuaishou’s valuation stood at just over $180 billion - making it the fifth largest listed company in Hong Kong by market capitalisation.</p>\n<p>The float is the biggest in Hong Kong since Budweiser’s Asia unit raised $5.75 billion in 2019. Retail investors bid for 1,204 times the amount of Kuaishou shares on offer for them in the IPO, mostly backed by borrowed money.</p>\n<p>The Friday spike in Kuaishou shares was mainly driven by demand from customers in mainland China, who cannot invest in IPOs but can buy in the secondary market, and retail investors in Hong Kong who failed to get shares in Kuaishou’s IPO, said Louis Tse, managing director of brokerage Wealthy Securities.</p>\n<p>It was also driven by pent-up retail demand following the last-minute suspension of Ant Group’s blockbuster $37 billion dual-listing in November, Tse added.</p>\n<p>“This bodes well for other Hong Kong IPOs, if the companies are well known on the mainland,” he said.</p>\n<p>TikTok-owner Bytedance has been considering listing its onshore Chinese short video app Douyin in Hong Kong, Reuters reported last year.</p>\n<p>Douyin and Kuaishou are rivals.</p>\n<p>Kuaishou was the world’s No.2 short video platform in the first nine months last year, its IPO prospectus said.</p>\n<p>It had an average of 275.9 million daily active users over the period, the prospectus adds, citing iResearch, as the pandemic forced people to spend more time online.</p>\n<p>While access to Kuaishou is free, the company makes money through selling virtual items which users gift to the creators of the videos, online marketing and commissions from e-commerce sales on the platform.</p>\n<p>The company plans to use the proceeds of the IPO to grow its ecosystem, strengthen research and for selective acquisitions, it said in an exchange filing.</p>\n<p>BUBBLE WORRIES</p>\n<p>Kuaishou’s sharp spike on debut, however, comes against the backdrop of growing fears about an asset bubble, with amateur investors boosting the price of assets ranging from cryptocurrencies to new market listings.</p>\n<p>Shares in Smoore International gained 150% in July last year after it raised $1.1 billion at its IPO.</p>\n<p>JD Health International Inc gained 56% when it debuted in December after raising about $3.48 billion, and toy maker Pop Mart International Group closed nearly 80% higher on its first day.</p>\n<p>The recent sharp rise and fall in U.S. videogame retailer GameStop and some other stocks have put investors on edge and prompted some brokerages to raise margin requirements or stop offering leverage for buying securities.</p>\n<p>($1 = 7.7523 Hong Kong dollars)</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.</p><p>With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOs</b></p><p>A fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bring<i>huge gains</i>.</p><p>These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.</p><p>A famous example of a fake ICO is&nbsp;<b>Pincoin</b>. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.</p><p>So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.</p><p>This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.</p><p>The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.</p><p><b>Ponzi Schemes</b></p><p>If you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.</p><p>In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.</p><p>With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.</p><p>The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto is<b>Bitconnect</b>, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency. Users could stake their coins for high daily interest, which was actually just money taken from newer investors. And the company made a huge profit; Bitconnectwas a top 20 cryptocurrencyin terms of market capitalization before its collapse.</p><p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionkeeps a handy guideon spotting this particular crypto scheme. Investors should look out for the classic “high return, no risk” promise typical of a cryptocurrency scam. Overly complex strategies and returns that look uncannily consistent are also signs of fraud. Because of the nature of cryptos, overly consistent returns are unusual. Things ebb and flow on the market, so when returns are the same month after month, it suggests the gains are artificial.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fraud Wallets</b></p><p>A fraud wallet scam is closely related to the internet-age-old practice of phishing. But rather than sending out emails pretending to be a reputable company, fraud wallets typically wait for you to come to them.</p><p>Fraud wallets can take the shape of a website or a mobile app, just like a real crypto wallet. Everything might seem totally legitimate: a shiny logo, high ratings, a sleek interface; heck, just the fact that a wallet app is on the Apple App Store could seem like reason enough to believe a wallet is real.</p><p>Much like a lemon car, the fraud takes advantage of the adage “looks can be deceiving.” When one signs up for a fraudulent wallet, they do all the work for the scammer. They add in their information, link a card or two, and load crypto right into the scammers’ hands. Then, just as quickly as the scammers showed up, they vanish with the coins.</p><p><b>Trezor’s doppelgänger app</b>&nbsp;is a famous example of a fraud wallet scheme, evengetting coverage in the<i>Washington Post</i>. The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The most disturbing part of it all is that the app was housed on Apple’s platform, a supposedly safe space to download applications. It proves that you can’t let your guard down.</p><p>My advice here is to stick with the biggest wallet players. Look for wallets with blue checkmarks on their Twitter profiles. Go to websites through official links to be sure you’re on legitimate sites. Don’t necessarily trust an app just because it has hundreds of reviews on an app store; security firm ESET says to “only trust cryptocurrency-related and other finance apps if they are linked from the official website of the service.”</p><p>Double and triple check that you’re looking through official channels when preparing to sign up for a wallet in-browser. If you go through as many channels as possible that evaluate content for fraud, the likelihood that you are using a crypto scam product decreases significantly.</p><p><b>Social Media Scams</b></p><p>Social media scams are not exclusive to cryptocurrency. They’ve been around as long as social media has existed, and while all seek different ends, many recent social media scams want your digital currency.</p><p>Another variant of phishing, social media scams typically involve an account advertising big gains, a survey, or something similar, with a link. Clicking the link can lead to malware being installed on one’s device. Or, scammers can simply lure you into entering your information.</p><p>In the crypto-sphere, these scams usually target Bitcoin holders, due simply to the coin’s high value and rapid growth. A famous scam occurred in 2020, when hackers gained access to a slew of different celebrities’ Twitter accounts. Tweets went out from Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Kanye West; all including a wallet address. The promise was that a Bitcoin payment to the address would be paid back to users in double. The hackersmade approximately $121,000 from willful payments.</p><p>This cryptocurrency scam is the most easily avoided of the bunch. If you don’t know a user, don’t click any mysterious links. Typically, the scam is perpetuated by scammers on accounts that are brand new, have zero followers, and no profile picture. Even in the case of the famous Twitter hack that saw scams coming from verified accounts, it’s obvious that a promise to double one’s investment for free is illegitimate. Tom Robinson, co-founder of&nbsp;<b>Elliptic</b>,says of these scams, “what we often see with these type [sic] of exploits is that the exploit itself can be very sophisticated but they’re not very good at monetizing it.”</p><p>Some common sense and a keen sense of skepticism can go a long way.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line on Cryptocurrency Scams</b></p><p>This list isn’t all-encompassing; as cryptocurrencies change shape to fit consumers’ needs, so too will scams shapeshift to lure in new victims. Crypto is a booming industry, and a large part of that is because it is not regulated. Users can do whatever they want, which means some will use their privileges for malicious purposes.</p><p>Meme coins are going to keep cropping up, promising the success of&nbsp;<b>Dogecoin</b>(CCC:<b>DOGE-USD</b>). They’re not all illegitimate, but keep all of this information stored. You should be able to stay wary and skim the fakes from the pool. Likewise, fraudulent wallets and exchanges will continue popping up as long as legitimate ones keep hitting the market as “innovative new platforms in blockchain tech.”</p><p>Almost all crypto scams can be rooted out by simply taking a closer look. Scammers are sloppy — they make typos, they leave out details. If it walks like a scam, and it talks like a scam, it’s best to stay away, because it’s a scam.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>Headed for the Moon?

The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The most disturbing part of it all is that the app was housed on Apple’s platform, a supposedly safe space to download applications. It proves that you can’t let your guard down.My advice here is to stick with the biggest wallet players. Look for wallets with blue checkmarks on their Twitter profiles. Go to websites through official links to be sure you’re on legitimate sites. Don’t necessarily trust an app just because it has hundreds of reviews on an app store; security firm ESET says to “only trust cryptocurrency-related and other finance apps if they are linked from the official website of the service.”Double and triple check that you’re looking through official channels when preparing to sign up for a wallet in-browser. If you go through as many channels as possible that evaluate content for fraud, the likelihood that you are using a crypto scam product decreases significantly.Social Media ScamsSocial media scams are not exclusive to cryptocurrency. They’ve been around as long as social media has existed, and while all seek different ends, many recent social media scams want your digital currency.Another variant of phishing, social media scams typically involve an account advertising big gains, a survey, or something similar, with a link. Clicking the link can lead to malware being installed on one’s device. Or, scammers can simply lure you into entering your information.In the crypto-sphere, these scams usually target Bitcoin holders, due simply to the coin’s high value and rapid growth. A famous scam occurred in 2020, when hackers gained access to a slew of different celebrities’ Twitter accounts. Tweets went out from Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Kanye West; all including a wallet address. The promise was that a Bitcoin payment to the address would be paid back to users in double. The hackersmade approximately $121,000 from willful payments.This cryptocurrency scam is the most easily avoided of the bunch. If you don’t know a user, don’t click any mysterious links. Typically, the scam is perpetuated by scammers on accounts that are brand new, have zero followers, and no profile picture. Even in the case of the famous Twitter hack that saw scams coming from verified accounts, it’s obvious that a promise to double one’s investment for free is illegitimate. Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic,says of these scams, “what we often see with these type [sic] of exploits is that the exploit itself can be very sophisticated but they’re not very good at monetizing it.”Some common sense and a keen sense of skepticism can go a long way.The Bottom Line on Cryptocurrency ScamsThis list isn’t all-encompassing; as cryptocurrencies change shape to fit consumers’ needs, so too will scams shapeshift to lure in new victims. Crypto is a booming industry, and a large part of that is because it is not regulated. Users can do whatever they want, which means some will use their privileges for malicious purposes.Meme coins are going to keep cropping up, promising the success of Dogecoin(CCC:DOGE-USD). They’re not all illegitimate, but keep all of this information stored. You should be able to stay wary and skim the fakes from the pool. Likewise, fraudulent wallets and exchanges will continue popping up as long as legitimate ones keep hitting the market as “innovative new platforms in blockchain tech.”Almost all crypto scams can be rooted out by simply taking a closer look. Scammers are sloppy — they make typos, they leave out details. If it walks like a scam, and it talks like a scam, it’s best to stay away, because it’s a scam.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352192567,"gmtCreate":1616902965459,"gmtModify":1634523593305,"author":{"id":"3563080940277680","authorId":"3563080940277680","name":"KGosti","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563080940277680","authorIdStr":"3563080940277680"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352192567","repostId":"1111192234","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111192234","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616772179,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1111192234?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Deliveries Are Coming.
