If history is any guide, stocks can be expected to bottom in early October and begin a period of seasonal strength into year-end.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f080d19d4dc7f62dae90520b71b3229\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"508\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Ned Davis Research recently sketched a bullish scenario into year-end for global equities by pointing out that the fourth quarter has been the strongest over the past few years.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22569021601bd7d89ac322883d5fd2e9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"556\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Risk appetite indicators have been steadily improving, but haven’t risen sufficiently to flash a buy signal just yet. These readings are consistent with my fourth-quarter sector review, which also found signs of cyclical and reflation strength, but no broad-based confirmation.</p>\n<p><b>Supportive sentiment</b></p>\n<p>The sentiment backdrop is becoming more supportive of an advance, though readings haven’t fallen to panic extremes. For example, the NAAIM Exposure Index, which measures the sentiment of registered investment advisers, plunged recently but didn’t break the 26-week Bollinger Band. A penetration of the low Bollinger Band has been a strong buy signal in the past.</p>\n<p>These conditions lead me to believe that risk/reward in U.S. stocks now is tilted to the upside. The maximum drawdown of the S&amp;P 500SPX,+0.41%from its highs is -5%. It’s conceivable that stocks could pull back, but another 2%-3% of weakness is likely to spark panic levels in many sentiment models. While I am cautiously bullish, I am not ready to go all-in just yet.</p>\n<p><b>Supply chain bottlenecks</b></p>\n<p>Won’t rising energy prices create inflationary pressure and force the Fed to act? Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified that inflationary pressures were expected to be transitory because of supply chain bottlenecks, but allowed that the transitory period may last longer than expected.</p>\n<p>The headlines may see rising hysteria over shortages in the coming weeks as Christmas nears and products aren’t available in plentiful supply. In reality, the shortages are attributable to a supply shock owing to rising demand in the face of limited manufacturing and transportation capacity. Central bankers raising interest rates won’t make the semiconductor shortage go away, nor will it expand shipping and trucking capacity.</p>\n<p>Although there are many bottlenecks, in particular in transporting materials to factories, and goods from factories to sellers, orders for goods that will last a (relatively) long time continue to get better. There is simply no downward pressure on the producer sector of the U.S. economy at this time.</p>\n<p>The next important data release will be the November jobs report. How will the juxtaposition of COVID cases, the expiry of emergency assistance programs, supply chain bottlenecks, and widespread reports of labor shortages affect the employment situation? Powell stated after the last FOMC meeting that it would take a large miss on the November report for the Fed to rethink its plans to taper its QE purchases. This is what reflation looks like.</p>\n<p><b>Fiscal wild cards</b></p>\n<p>On the other hand, investors will have to deal with the confusing fiscal picture out of Washington. This time, there are simply a lot of balls in the air and many moving parts to fiscal policy. Each issue is separate but related and any one of them could go off the rails and affect fiscal policy and unsettle the markets.</p>\n<p></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Funding the federal government, which can be done with a Continuing Resolution in the short run</li>\n <li>The debt ceiling</li>\n <li>The infrastructure bill</li>\n <li>The budget reconciliation process.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here is how President Joe Biden’s proposals could affect future policy and change the lives of Americans:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Transportation</b>: Electric vehicle (EV) subsidies, spending for EV infrastructure like public charging stations, public transport subsidies, especially for rail travel.</li>\n <li><b>Healthcare</b>: Expand Medicare coverage to dental, vision, and hearing benefits, free Medicaid coverage for more lower-income Americans, lower drug prices.</li>\n <li><b>Child care and education</b>: Free day care for lower-income Americans,&nbsp;two years of free preschool before kindergarten and two free years of community college, and&nbsp;12 weeks of paid family leave to tend to a sick family member.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I have no idea of how this wish list will play out in the tug-of-war in Washington.

If history is any guide, stocks can be expected to bottom in early October and begin a period of seasonal strength into year-end.\nNed Davis Research recently sketched a bullish scenario into year-end for global equities by pointing out that the fourth quarter has been the strongest over the past few years.\nRisk appetite indicators have been steadily improving, but haven’t risen sufficiently to flash a buy signal just yet. These readings are consistent with my fourth-quarter sector review, which also found signs of cyclical and reflation strength, but no broad-based confirmation.\nSupportive sentiment\nThe sentiment backdrop is becoming more supportive of an advance, though readings haven’t fallen to panic extremes. For example, the NAAIM Exposure Index, which measures the sentiment of registered investment advisers, plunged recently but didn’t break the 26-week Bollinger Band. A penetration of the low Bollinger Band has been a strong buy signal in the past.\nThese conditions lead me to believe that risk/reward in U.S. stocks now is tilted to the upside. The maximum drawdown of the S&P 500SPX,+0.41%from its highs is -5%. It’s conceivable that stocks could pull back, but another 2%-3% of weakness is likely to spark panic levels in many sentiment models. While I am cautiously bullish, I am not ready to go all-in just yet.\nSupply chain bottlenecks\nWon’t rising energy prices create inflationary pressure and force the Fed to act? Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified that inflationary pressures were expected to be transitory because of supply chain bottlenecks, but allowed that the transitory period may last longer than expected.\nThe headlines may see rising hysteria over shortages in the coming weeks as Christmas nears and products aren’t available in plentiful supply. In reality, the shortages are attributable to a supply shock owing to rising demand in the face of limited manufacturing and transportation capacity. Central bankers raising interest rates won’t make the semiconductor shortage go away, nor will it expand shipping and trucking capacity.\nAlthough there are many bottlenecks, in particular in transporting materials to factories, and goods from factories to sellers, orders for goods that will last a (relatively) long time continue to get better. There is simply no downward pressure on the producer sector of the U.S. economy at this time.\nThe next important data release will be the November jobs report. How will the juxtaposition of COVID cases, the expiry of emergency assistance programs, supply chain bottlenecks, and widespread reports of labor shortages affect the employment situation? Powell stated after the last FOMC meeting that it would take a large miss on the November report for the Fed to rethink its plans to taper its QE purchases. This is what reflation looks like.\nFiscal wild cards\nOn the other hand, investors will have to deal with the confusing fiscal picture out of Washington. This time, there are simply a lot of balls in the air and many moving parts to fiscal policy. Each issue is separate but related and any one of them could go off the rails and affect fiscal policy and unsettle the markets.\n\n\nFunding the federal government, which can be done with a Continuing Resolution in the short run\nThe debt ceiling\nThe infrastructure bill\nThe budget reconciliation process.\n\nHere is how President Joe Biden’s proposals could affect future policy and change the lives of Americans:\n\nTransportation: Electric vehicle (EV) subsidies, spending for EV infrastructure like public charging stations, public transport subsidies, especially for rail travel.\nHealthcare: Expand Medicare coverage to dental, vision, and hearing benefits, free Medicaid coverage for more lower-income Americans, lower drug prices.\nChild care and education: Free day care for lower-income Americans, two years of free preschool before kindergarten and two free years of community college, and 12 weeks of paid family leave to tend to a sick family member.\n\nI have no idea of how this wish list will play out in the tug-of-war in Washington. Make no mistake that the legislative skills are there for a deal to be done. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a vote counter par excellence, Democratic Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer understands his caucus, while Biden enjoys wide approval among Democrats and has a strong legislative record in the Senate.\nIn all likelihood, the Democrats’ ambitious agenda will be watered down. As an example, Biden’s original proposal was to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, though expectations were scaled back to 25%. PredictIt odds show that the chances of no tax increase or a sub-25% tax rate are rising. As a 25% rate has been largely discounted by the market, a lower tax rate would be a welcome surprise for equity investors.\nPutting it all together, the stock market may be setting up for a period of positive seasonality into year-end, which would be sparked by a reflationary boom. Yet a number of important cyclical tripwires have not been triggered. At a minimum and in the short-term, the S&P 500 needs to rally and regain its 50-day moving average as it tests the Evergrande-panic lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":402,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":820598094,"gmtCreate":1633399704189,"gmtModify":1633399871733,"author":{"id":"3558393758595354","authorId":"3558393758595354","name":"jer88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c64b2a57368e6315cf4e91bbf34325ac","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Pls like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820598094","repostId":"2172968917","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172968917","pubTimestamp":1633395971,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172968917?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 09:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Adobe Stock Is a Buy for the Coming $10 Trillion \"Digital Transformation\" Boom","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172968917","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Don't let a ho-hum September keep you away from this long-term winner.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> </b>(NASDAQ:ADBE) has hit the skids since its fiscal 2021 third quarter update in September.

They are so well written, such great charts, such great analysis, but why has the crash not happened yet?\"</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Then, I saw the following response:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>\"The crash hasn't happened because the market is in denial. If it weren't for that, the analysis would be spot on. The market simply refuses to acknowledge reality. It really should talk to a psychologist.\"</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Folks, the point I am trying to make by highlighting these comments is that we cannot make the market bend to what we may believe to be “reality.” We need to look at the market objectively in order to make our assessments about the future direction of the market. Simply calling the market a name or thinking it has been displaced from reality will never help your investment account.</p>\n<p>Yet, most people have a bias as to what they think must happen in the market, and apply that bias to their investment account, with many even posting comments based upon that bias. The two comments above are perfect examples.</p>\n<p>The main problem is that many do not have the appropriate objective tools with which to ascertain market direction. Rather, many view the market fundamentals as providing the clues to market direction. But, unfortunately, that is not how the market works, and it has seriously led people astray, with so many fighting this rally off the March 2020 lows.</p>\n<p>I have explained this in past articles such as this one, but the main point is that sentiment is what drives the market and places the spin on how the public views any of the fundamentals. If the market is in a positive sentiment trend, then negative fundamentals will be ignored, and vice versa. We have all seen markets rally on bad news and wonder “how the heck is this possible?” I often post this picture from Jim Cramer’s show as the perfect example of when this happens:</p>\n<p>With our objective analysis, not only did we catch the bottom last year at 2200SPX, I even said before we bottomed that we will likely see a strong rally to at least the 4000SPX region, with my ideal target being the 6000SPX region. Now, if you remember the emotional environment at the time, I am sure you can understand why so many looked at me like I was crazy. But, it was clearly not the first call I have made that has elicited such a response. In fact, it was not even the 20th.</p>\n<p>I even saw one comment this past week that said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Avi is right more often than I would like to admit.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The question I always ask is why do so many people fight what I am trying to teach? Well, there are a number of reasons.</p>\n<p>First, in order to accept what I am saying about the market, you have to unlearn all the things you have learned all these years about what drives the market.</p>\n<p>And, I can tell you that those that are able not only find it liberating, but also find it much more profitable:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Avi's service is a game changer! I started reading his public articles more than four years ago. I should have subscribed sooner. Through his service, I have learned to ignore the mass market miss-information. This has vastly improved my investing success. Put in the time to learn from the master. You won't believe the success you will achieve once you have gained this new perspective. Avi and his team are fantastic!”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“I have heard and read about Avi Gilburt and The Market Pinball Wizard for several years prior to actually joining. Like others here I subscribed to several authors including Avi, and would read the public articles. At first, I like probably many others, was skeptical of the service and what was put forth . . . I had to \"unlearn what I had learned\", tune out the news and TV pundits and focus on purely the market. This was not easy as I usually thought the market was hooked at the hip of the economy in real time. Whether you are a novice investor and are just looking for \"macro\" ideas and guidance as to what's in front of you or a seasoned pro, this service, in my opinion, is invaluable! . . . This service is a investment game changer for sure!!”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Second, it requires you to understand that the market is driven by emotion and not by logic. In order to do so, many have to give up viewing the market logically. Yet, most people cannot accept the market action unless they believe they know the reason as to why the market moved.</p>\n<p>What they don’t understand is that reasons are completely useless. They are only offered by the media and pundits after the fact to attempt to explain a move that already happened. And, there are many times they cannot even find a reason as to why a market move happened, which leads to some of the funniest headlines you will see, assuming you are paying attention.</p>\n<p>Consider what was written by Professor Hernan Cortes Douglas, former Luksic Scholar at Harvard University, former Deputy Research Administrator at the World Bank, and former Senior Economist at the IMF, regarding those engaged in “fundamental” analysis for predictive purposes regarding the stock market:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>The historical data say that they cannot succeed; financial markets never collapse when things look bad. In fact, quite the contrary is true. Before contractions begin, macroeconomic flows always look fine. That is why the vast majority of economists always proclaim the economy to be in excellent health just before it swoons. Despite these failures, indeed despite repeating almost precisely those failures, economists have continued to pore over the same macroeconomic fundamentals for clues to the future. If the conventional macroeconomic approach is useless even in retrospect, if it cannot explain or understand an outcome when we know what it is, has it a prayer of doing so when the goal is assessing the future?</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>And, the exact opposite is true. Did not the economic world consider us in a recession during the entire rally from 2200 to 4000?</p>\n<p>As we came into 2021 (with the market starting the year out at 3750SPX), I outlined to those willing to listen that I was expecting at least a 20% rally, with at least the 4600SPX as my target for 2021. That means I was looking for a rally of at least 850 points. Thus far, we have clearly exceeded my 20% minimum rally expectation, and the market has rallied 800 points and come within 50 points of the 4600SPX target I set for this year.</p>\n<p>Many months ago I also noted that I think we can get a 200-300 point pullback from the 4440-4600SPX region before we are ready to rally through 4600SPX. And, as we can see now, the market is again obliging our expectations.</p>\n<p>The funny thing is that I actually got chided recently by another commenter that acknowledged that we are getting the 200-300 point pullback I was expecting, but faulted me for the market topping at 4550SPX and not 4600SPX. I just shook my head in amazement when I read that comment. I caught 800 of the 850 points I called for earlier this year, and even called for this 200-300 point decline. But, sadly, I was simply not perfect in his myopic view. The real truth is that I noted that the 200-300 point decline can begin from the 4440-4600SPX target zone. But, who cares about the truth. (smile)</p>\n<p>Again, it is just so hard for people to let go of what they believe about the market. Sadly, this is the nature of far too many market participants, as so many still fight what I am trying to outline and teach about the market. But, rest assured, I still think we have plenty of time to be able to get to that 4600SPX mark before the end of the year, and potentially even exceed it.</p>\n<p>For many months, I have been outlining a major market pivot to the members of my The Market Pinball Wizard analysis service between 4095-4270SPX. That is the major support in the market at this time. And, I noted earlier this year to our members that once the market exceeds that pivot, it will rally into the 4440-4600SPX region, and then come back to test that market pivot from above. As long as the market holds that support region, I am looking for a signal that we have begun our next rally to our next major target in the 4900-5000SPX region.</p>\n<p>At the end of the week this past week, the futures market struck the top of this support region at the equivalent of the 4270SPX on the nose, and Friday we experienced a very strong rally off that support. Yet, I need to see a 5-wave structure off the low to provide us with our initial signal that the rally to 4900+ has begun in earnest.</p>\n<p>If we do not see that 5-wave structure complete early in the coming week, and instead, we break down below 4320SPX, then it likely means that this current pullback has not yet completed, and we will likely drop towards the 4200-4220SPX region, and ultimately point us down towards the 4165SPX region.</p>\n<p>So, I believe the coming week will provide us clues as to whether we have hit our bottom at the top end of our support region, and have begun the next rally to 4900+, or if we have deeper to go into our support region before that next rally begins in earnest.</p>\n<p>Hey, who knows?

They are so well written, such great charts, such great analysis, but why has the crash not happened yet?\"\n\nThen, I saw the following response:\n\n\"The crash hasn't happened because the market is in denial. If it weren't for that, the analysis would be spot on. The market simply refuses to acknowledge reality. It really should talk to a psychologist.\"\n\nFolks, the point I am trying to make by highlighting these comments is that we cannot make the market bend to what we may believe to be “reality.” We need to look at the market objectively in order to make our assessments about the future direction of the market. Simply calling the market a name or thinking it has been displaced from reality will never help your investment account.\nYet, most people have a bias as to what they think must happen in the market, and apply that bias to their investment account, with many even posting comments based upon that bias. The two comments above are perfect examples.\nThe main problem is that many do not have the appropriate objective tools with which to ascertain market direction. Rather, many view the market fundamentals as providing the clues to market direction. But, unfortunately, that is not how the market works, and it has seriously led people astray, with so many fighting this rally off the March 2020 lows.\nI have explained this in past articles such as this one, but the main point is that sentiment is what drives the market and places the spin on how the public views any of the fundamentals. If the market is in a positive sentiment trend, then negative fundamentals will be ignored, and vice versa. We have all seen markets rally on bad news and wonder “how the heck is this possible?” I often post this picture from Jim Cramer’s show as the perfect example of when this happens:\nWith our objective analysis, not only did we catch the bottom last year at 2200SPX, I even said before we bottomed that we will likely see a strong rally to at least the 4000SPX region, with my ideal target being the 6000SPX region. Now, if you remember the emotional environment at the time, I am sure you can understand why so many looked at me like I was crazy. But, it was clearly not the first call I have made that has elicited such a response. In fact, it was not even the 20th.\nI even saw one comment this past week that said:\n\n“Avi is right more often than I would like to admit.”\n\nThe question I always ask is why do so many people fight what I am trying to teach? Well, there are a number of reasons.\nFirst, in order to accept what I am saying about the market, you have to unlearn all the things you have learned all these years about what drives the market.\nAnd, I can tell you that those that are able not only find it liberating, but also find it much more profitable:\n\n“Avi's service is a game changer! I started reading his public articles more than four years ago. I should have subscribed sooner. Through his service, I have learned to ignore the mass market miss-information. This has vastly improved my investing success. Put in the time to learn from the master. You won't believe the success you will achieve once you have gained this new perspective. Avi and his team are fantastic!”\n\n\n“I have heard and read about Avi Gilburt and The Market Pinball Wizard for several years prior to actually joining. Like others here I subscribed to several authors including Avi, and would read the public articles. At first, I like probably many others, was skeptical of the service and what was put forth . . . I had to \"unlearn what I had learned\", tune out the news and TV pundits and focus on purely the market. This was not easy as I usually thought the market was hooked at the hip of the economy in real time. Whether you are a novice investor and are just looking for \"macro\" ideas and guidance as to what's in front of you or a seasoned pro, this service, in my opinion, is invaluable! . . . This service is a investment game changer for sure!!”\n\nSecond, it requires you to understand that the market is driven by emotion and not by logic. In order to do so, many have to give up viewing the market logically. Yet, most people cannot accept the market action unless they believe they know the reason as to why the market moved.\nWhat they don’t understand is that reasons are completely useless. They are only offered by the media and pundits after the fact to attempt to explain a move that already happened. And, there are many times they cannot even find a reason as to why a market move happened, which leads to some of the funniest headlines you will see, assuming you are paying attention.\nConsider what was written by Professor Hernan Cortes Douglas, former Luksic Scholar at Harvard University, former Deputy Research Administrator at the World Bank, and former Senior Economist at the IMF, regarding those engaged in “fundamental” analysis for predictive purposes regarding the stock market:\n\nThe historical data say that they cannot succeed; financial markets never collapse when things look bad. In fact, quite the contrary is true. Before contractions begin, macroeconomic flows always look fine. That is why the vast majority of economists always proclaim the economy to be in excellent health just before it swoons. Despite these failures, indeed despite repeating almost precisely those failures, economists have continued to pore over the same macroeconomic fundamentals for clues to the future. If the conventional macroeconomic approach is useless even in retrospect, if it cannot explain or understand an outcome when we know what it is, has it a prayer of doing so when the goal is assessing the future?\n\nAnd, the exact opposite is true. Did not the economic world consider us in a recession during the entire rally from 2200 to 4000?\nAs we came into 2021 (with the market starting the year out at 3750SPX), I outlined to those willing to listen that I was expecting at least a 20% rally, with at least the 4600SPX as my target for 2021. That means I was looking for a rally of at least 850 points. Thus far, we have clearly exceeded my 20% minimum rally expectation, and the market has rallied 800 points and come within 50 points of the 4600SPX target I set for this year.\nMany months ago I also noted that I think we can get a 200-300 point pullback from the 4440-4600SPX region before we are ready to rally through 4600SPX. And, as we can see now, the market is again obliging our expectations.\nThe funny thing is that I actually got chided recently by another commenter that acknowledged that we are getting the 200-300 point pullback I was expecting, but faulted me for the market topping at 4550SPX and not 4600SPX. I just shook my head in amazement when I read that comment. I caught 800 of the 850 points I called for earlier this year, and even called for this 200-300 point decline. But, sadly, I was simply not perfect in his myopic view. The real truth is that I noted that the 200-300 point decline can begin from the 4440-4600SPX target zone. But, who cares about the truth. (smile)\nAgain, it is just so hard for people to let go of what they believe about the market. Sadly, this is the nature of far too many market participants, as so many still fight what I am trying to outline and teach about the market. But, rest assured, I still think we have plenty of time to be able to get to that 4600SPX mark before the end of the year, and potentially even exceed it.\nFor many months, I have been outlining a major market pivot to the members of my The Market Pinball Wizard analysis service between 4095-4270SPX. That is the major support in the market at this time. And, I noted earlier this year to our members that once the market exceeds that pivot, it will rally into the 4440-4600SPX region, and then come back to test that market pivot from above. As long as the market holds that support region, I am looking for a signal that we have begun our next rally to our next major target in the 4900-5000SPX region.\nAt the end of the week this past week, the futures market struck the top of this support region at the equivalent of the 4270SPX on the nose, and Friday we experienced a very strong rally off that support. Yet, I need to see a 5-wave structure off the low to provide us with our initial signal that the rally to 4900+ has begun in earnest.\nIf we do not see that 5-wave structure complete early in the coming week, and instead, we break down below 4320SPX, then it likely means that this current pullback has not yet completed, and we will likely drop towards the 4200-4220SPX region, and ultimately point us down towards the 4165SPX region.\nSo, I believe the coming week will provide us clues as to whether we have hit our bottom at the top end of our support region, and have begun the next rally to 4900+, or if we have deeper to go into our support region before that next rally begins in earnest.\nHey, who knows? I could always be wrong. But, when the two top trending articles on Seeking Alpha this weekend were about an impending bear market and the most dangerous market ever, well, the boat is starting to feel a bit weighty on one side.

The Disney Genie service will be introduced to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California this fall.</p>\n<p>As part of the change, a new, paid program is set to replace the free FastPass program at the theme parks.</p>\n<p>FastPass was first introduced in 1999, and it essentially allowed visitors to Walt Disney World and Disneyland to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions for free. In reality, FastPass was a virtual queue system: Guests would get a ticket they could use at a reserved time to bypass the regular stand-by line, but essentially they were waiting in a virtual line.</p>\n<p>Now to take advantage of those same perks, Disney theme park visitors will have to pay as much as $80 per day for a family of four.</p>\n<p>\"While the FASTPASS, FastPass+ and Disney MaxPass services will be retired, we're incredible excited about the flexibility and choices Disney Genie service provides,\" the company said in a blog post announcing the changes.</p>\n<p>Here's what Disney theme park travelers need to know:</p>\n<p>Say hello to Genie+ and Lightning Lanes</p>\n<p>There will be an optional, paid add-on to the standard Disney Genie service, called Genie+, that will enable Disney theme park visitors to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions. At Disney World, the service will cost $15 per day per person, while at Disneyland it will cost $20 per day per person.</p>\n<p>There will be more than 40 attractions available for Genie+ bookings at Walt Disney World, and more than 15 attractions at Disneyland. The list of attractions has not yet been released, but Disney said it will be similar to what was previously available through the old FastPass system.</p>\n<p>The FastPass lines at popular attractions will be known as Lightning Lanes. To skip the line, guests will need to reserve a time using the Disney Genie mobile app. They will be able to start making reservations beginning at 7 a.m. the day of their visit to a Walt Disney World park or when the parks open at Disneyland.</p>\n<p>Guests will be allowed to have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Genie+ reservation at a time -- once a reservation is used, they will be able to make another. Visitors who visit more than one Disney park in a day will be able to use Genie+ at any park they visit.</p>\n<p>The Genie+ program will come with some perks. At Disneyland, guests who purchase Genie+ will also get complimentary downloads of pictures taken through PhotoPass, such as photos taken on rides. At Walt Disney World, Genie+ purchasers will be able to try out augmented reality technology on their phones. The service also comes with complimentary audio experiences at both the California and Florida resorts.</p>\n<p>Skipping the line on some rides is going to cost people extra -- even if they purchase Genie+</p>\n<p>The most popular attractions at Disney theme parks won't be part of Genie+. To skip the lines for these, visitors will need to pay separately, though Disney has not yet said how much the perk will cost.</p>\n<p>This will be the case for up to two attractions at each park. Disney has not yet released a full list of which attractions this will be the case for, but examples they cited include the upcoming Remy's Ratatouille adventure at Epcot, Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.</p>\n<p>These reservations will be able to be booked starting at 7 a.m. for visitors staying at Walt Disney World hotels. Other visitors at Walt Disney World, and everyone visiting Disneyland, will otherwise be able to make to reservations when the parks open each day.</p>\n<p>As with the rides on Genie+, traditional stand-by lines (or virtual queues) will be available for guests who don't wish to pay for the upgrade. Guests can also purchase Lightning Lane access for these rides and forego Genie+ if they so choose.</p>\n<p>Some travel experts believe that the added cost of these perks, which were essentially free in the past, could upset some guests, including annual passholders. The cost of Genie+ is comparable to the cost of MaxPass, a paid FastPass program that was introduced at Disneyland Resort in recent years.</p>\n<p>\"If you're already paying $150 a day to get into the park, to tell somebody that you've got to pay another $100 for your family to get on the best rides in the park -- that's going to be a hard message to sell,\" said Len Testa, president of travel website Touring Plans.</p>\n<p>The calculus for families could come down to the value of paying for the ability to skip lines -- and that will depend on ride capacity. People with Genie+ reservations will have priority over people in the regular stand-by line. If Disney chooses to allow up to 70% of a ride's capacity to be set aside for Genie+, that could make it a better value, since that would means longer stand-by lines. (The company said that how the capacity divvies up will be similar to what was in place with the previous FastPass programs.)</p>\n<p>\"This shouldn't be that bad because fewer people are going to use paid Fast Pass than they would free Fast Pass,\" Testa said. \"If they charge $20 per FastPass, relatively few people are going to buy that. So, it won't impact the standby line as much.\"</p>\n<p>'This is something that will be copied and passed around'</p>\n<p>Even for visitors who decide against paying to skip lines, Disney argues that the new Disney Genie service will help them avoid spending too much time just waiting in lines.</p>\n<p>The new service takes advantage of machine learning technology and algorithms to track where crowds are in the theme parks and then make recommendations to visitors. Visitors can select in advance which attractions they most want to visit, and it will notify them of when they should head to that ride based on the wait times in the park. Guests will also be able to check forecasts for wait times on rides for later in the day based on crowd sizes.</p>\n<p>The Disney Genie services will be built into the existing apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. In addition to tracking ride wait times, the app can also be used to make dining reservations at table-service restaurants or for mobile ordering at counter-service eateries. It can then give recommendations of rides nearby with low wait times to visit before or after a meal.</p>\n<p>\"It's going to be revolutionary for the theme park industry,\" said Dennis Spiegel, president of industry consulting firm International Theme Park Services Inc. \"This is something that will be copied and passed along to all the operators.\"</p>\n<p>To Spiegel, the service will allow people to be more spontaneous when they visit a theme park and have to do less advance planning than they once did.

However, its current-quarter forecast fell below consensus, due to computer-making customers facing shortages of other parts, and the stock fell 3.6% in the premarket.\nEli Lilly(LLY) – The drugmaker’s stock gained 2.2% in premarket trading after Citi upgraded it to “buy” from “neutral.” Citi points to valuation following a more than 15% drop in the share price, as well as its above-Street consensus earnings outlook for Lilly following a recent meeting with management.\nNetflix(NFLX) – Netflix rose 1% in the premarket after announcing that it bought videogame maker Night School Studio in a move to diversify its revenue sources. Night School Studio is best known for the supernatural-themed video game “Oxenfree.”\nLucid Group(LCID) – Lucid plans to deliver its first electric luxury sedans in late October, after kicking off production at its Arizona factory on Tuesday.

The stock surged 6.5% in premarket trading.\nBoeing Co(BA) – Boeing stock rose 2.5% after it said 737 MAX test flight for China's aviation regulator last month was successful and the planemaker hopes a two-year grounding will be lifted this year.\nDollar Tree(DLTR) – Dollar Tree jumped 6.6% in the premarket after the discount retailer increased its share repurchase authorization by $1.05 billion to a total of $2.5 billion.\nASML(ASML) – ASML raised its annual sales outlook and the maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment said it would see 11% annual growth through 2030 as demand for its products booms. The stock added 1% in the premarket.\nAbbVie(ABBV) – AbbVie won FDA approval for its once-daily oral migraine treatment. The drug known as Qulipta was one of the treatments acquired in AbbVie’s $63 billion purchase of Allergan last year.\nSherwin-Williams(SHW) – Sherwin-Williams cut its third-quarter guidance with the paint maker pointing to raw-material shortages and higher input costs. It said it no longer expects to see improved supply or lower prices for raw materials during the fourth quarter as it had previously projected. Sherwin-Williams fell 2% in premarket action.\nAffirm Holdings(AFRM) – The financial services company said it will offer a debit card as well as allow customers to execute cryptocurrency transactions directly from savings accounts. Affirm shares jumped 3.1% in the premarket.\nCal-Maine Foods(CALM) – Cal-Maine rallied 4.4% in premarket trading after it reported a smaller-than-expected loss for its latest quarter. The egg producer’s revenue topped Street forecasts as it benefited from higher egg prices.\nWarby Parker(WRBY) – The eyewear maker debuts on Wall Street today, going public via a direct listing at a reference price of $40 per share.

My three stocks to avoid last week were all over the place -- flat, soaring 23%, and climbing 8% -- averaging out to a 10.3% increase.</p>\n<p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> rose a mere 0.5% for the week, so I lost badly to the market. Still, I have come out ahead in 10 of the past 14 weeks. Let's see if I can bounce back. This week I see <b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond </b>(NASDAQ:BBBY), <b>Robinhood Markets </b>(NASDAQ:HOOD), and <b>American Airlines Group</b> (NASDAQ:AAL) as vulnerable investments in the near term. Here's why I think these are three stocks to avoid this week.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/844fa22418b0d6398103c6917b0d7eb3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"459\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</h2>\n<p>One would think a superstore chain selling housewares would be booming through the pandemic.

Revenue has fallen for three consecutive fiscal years. It has fallen short of Wall Street's profit targets in two of the past three quarters, and that's important since the struggling retailer is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the few companies reporting financial results this week.</p>\n<p>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond announces its fiscal-second quarter results on Wednesday morning. Momentum and recent history suggest it won't be very impressive.</p>\n<h2>Robinhood Markets</h2>\n<p>Stocks I own personally aren't immune to making the cut on this list, and that brings us to Robinhood Markets. The next-gen trading exchange that ushered in the era of commission-free trading is coming off a great quarter of growth, but the current quarter that ends later this week will be a different story.</p>\n<p>Robinhood's second quarter was strong this summer, as revenue soared 131%. The rub is that stock trading revenue actually declined and now accounts for less than 10% of the top-line mix. Robinhood is leaning on options and crypto trading for its revenue -- and that's problematic. Even more problematic is that <b>Dogecoin</b> (CRYPTO:DOGE) was the most popular trade on Robinhood in the second quarter, and volume on that crypto has fallen by roughly 75% this quarter. There are also more places for folks to trade Dogecoin now.</p>\n<p>Robinhood's announcement last week that it's launching crypto wallets should help wean the platform off of meme crypto like Dogecoin. Fundamentals-driver crytpo traders will take Robinhood more seriously when they know that they can take their more conventional investments off the platform. However, the current quarter will still be sequential letdown, and with the stock still trading above its July IPO price, there's always the incentive for the more than 300,000 Robinhood traders that got in on the stock at the ground floor to take their profits.</p>\n<h2>American Airlines</h2>\n<p>One of the stocks that didn't go my way last week was American Airlines. Shares of the legacy carrier rose 8% for the week on mixed news. The good news is that the U.S. cleared the way for vaccinated European visitors to travel to the country, even if it remains risky given the large number of breakthrough COVID-19 cases in the U.S. these days. The bad news is that the Department of Justice is looking into the potentially anticompetitive nature of the alliance between American Airlines and <b>JetBlue</b> (NASDAQ:JBLU).</p>\n<p>Given the sorry state of the airline industry these days, it may be hard to bust up a partnership of two profitless players as being anticompetitive in nature. The bigger problem for American is that it's still a lumbering legacy carrier in an industry that's facing waning demand from corporate and to a lesser extent leisure travel.</p>\n<p>If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, Robinhood Markets, and American Airlines this week.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks to Avoid This Week</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks to Avoid This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-27 22:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/27/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>I've been picking stocks to avoid every week, and last week I didn't do so well.

This is a middle-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.</p>\n<p>The primary risk to the company’s outlook is the degree of competition and specialization present in various submarkets in which it competes, as well as the ability for some larger prospects to develop solutions in-house.</p>\n<p>As for valuation, compared to competitor Simcorp, the CWAN IPO is much more highly priced on a revenue multiple basis. In my view, this is justified as the firm is growing revenue at a significantly higher rate of growth.</p>\n<p>After a difficult period during 2020 where the firm produced operating losses, 2021 has seen a return to operating and net profits with impressive growth as well.</p>\n<p>Given CWAN’s growth trajectory and the investment management software industry’s strong growth potential in the years ahead, the IPO is worth a close look.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a vote counter par excellence, Democratic Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer understands his caucus, while Biden enjoys wide approval among Democrats and has a strong legislative record in the Senate.\nIn all likelihood, the Democrats’ ambitious agenda will be watered down. As an example, Biden’s original proposal was to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, though expectations were scaled back to 25%. PredictIt odds show that the chances of no tax increase or a sub-25% tax rate are rising. As a 25% rate has been largely discounted by the market, a lower tax rate would be a welcome surprise for equity investors.\nPutting it all together, the stock market may be setting up for a period of positive seasonality into year-end, which would be sparked by a reflationary boom. Yet a number of important cyclical tripwires have not been triggered. At a minimum and in the short-term, the S&P 500 needs to rally and regain its 50-day moving average as it tests the Evergrande-panic lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":402,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":820598094,"gmtCreate":1633399704189,"gmtModify":1633399871733,"author":{"id":"3558393758595354","authorId":"3558393758595354","name":"jer88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c64b2a57368e6315cf4e91bbf34325ac","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Pls like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820598094","repostId":"2172968917","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172968917","pubTimestamp":1633395971,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172968917?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 09:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Adobe Stock Is a Buy for the Coming $10 Trillion \"Digital Transformation\" Boom","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172968917","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Don't let a ho-hum September keep you away from this long-term winner.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> </b>(NASDAQ:ADBE) has hit the skids since its fiscal 2021 third quarter update in September.

The Disney Genie service will be introduced to Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California this fall.</p>\n<p>As part of the change, a new, paid program is set to replace the free FastPass program at the theme parks.</p>\n<p>FastPass was first introduced in 1999, and it essentially allowed visitors to Walt Disney World and Disneyland to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions for free. In reality, FastPass was a virtual queue system: Guests would get a ticket they could use at a reserved time to bypass the regular stand-by line, but essentially they were waiting in a virtual line.</p>\n<p>Now to take advantage of those same perks, Disney theme park visitors will have to pay as much as $80 per day for a family of four.</p>\n<p>\"While the FASTPASS, FastPass+ and Disney MaxPass services will be retired, we're incredible excited about the flexibility and choices Disney Genie service provides,\" the company said in a blog post announcing the changes.</p>\n<p>Here's what Disney theme park travelers need to know:</p>\n<p>Say hello to Genie+ and Lightning Lanes</p>\n<p>There will be an optional, paid add-on to the standard Disney Genie service, called Genie+, that will enable Disney theme park visitors to skip the stand-by lines at popular attractions. At Disney World, the service will cost $15 per day per person, while at Disneyland it will cost $20 per day per person.</p>\n<p>There will be more than 40 attractions available for Genie+ bookings at Walt Disney World, and more than 15 attractions at Disneyland. The list of attractions has not yet been released, but Disney said it will be similar to what was previously available through the old FastPass system.</p>\n<p>The FastPass lines at popular attractions will be known as Lightning Lanes. To skip the line, guests will need to reserve a time using the Disney Genie mobile app. They will be able to start making reservations beginning at 7 a.m. the day of their visit to a Walt Disney World park or when the parks open at Disneyland.</p>\n<p>Guests will be allowed to have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Genie+ reservation at a time -- once a reservation is used, they will be able to make another. Visitors who visit more than one Disney park in a day will be able to use Genie+ at any park they visit.</p>\n<p>The Genie+ program will come with some perks. At Disneyland, guests who purchase Genie+ will also get complimentary downloads of pictures taken through PhotoPass, such as photos taken on rides. At Walt Disney World, Genie+ purchasers will be able to try out augmented reality technology on their phones. The service also comes with complimentary audio experiences at both the California and Florida resorts.</p>\n<p>Skipping the line on some rides is going to cost people extra -- even if they purchase Genie+</p>\n<p>The most popular attractions at Disney theme parks won't be part of Genie+. To skip the lines for these, visitors will need to pay separately, though Disney has not yet said how much the perk will cost.</p>\n<p>This will be the case for up to two attractions at each park. Disney has not yet released a full list of which attractions this will be the case for, but examples they cited include the upcoming Remy's Ratatouille adventure at Epcot, Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.</p>\n<p>These reservations will be able to be booked starting at 7 a.m. for visitors staying at Walt Disney World hotels. Other visitors at Walt Disney World, and everyone visiting Disneyland, will otherwise be able to make to reservations when the parks open each day.</p>\n<p>As with the rides on Genie+, traditional stand-by lines (or virtual queues) will be available for guests who don't wish to pay for the upgrade. Guests can also purchase Lightning Lane access for these rides and forego Genie+ if they so choose.</p>\n<p>Some travel experts believe that the added cost of these perks, which were essentially free in the past, could upset some guests, including annual passholders. The cost of Genie+ is comparable to the cost of MaxPass, a paid FastPass program that was introduced at Disneyland Resort in recent years.</p>\n<p>\"If you're already paying $150 a day to get into the park, to tell somebody that you've got to pay another $100 for your family to get on the best rides in the park -- that's going to be a hard message to sell,\" said Len Testa, president of travel website Touring Plans.</p>\n<p>The calculus for families could come down to the value of paying for the ability to skip lines -- and that will depend on ride capacity. People with Genie+ reservations will have priority over people in the regular stand-by line. If Disney chooses to allow up to 70% of a ride's capacity to be set aside for Genie+, that could make it a better value, since that would means longer stand-by lines. (The company said that how the capacity divvies up will be similar to what was in place with the previous FastPass programs.)</p>\n<p>\"This shouldn't be that bad because fewer people are going to use paid Fast Pass than they would free Fast Pass,\" Testa said. \"If they charge $20 per FastPass, relatively few people are going to buy that. So, it won't impact the standby line as much.\"</p>\n<p>'This is something that will be copied and passed around'</p>\n<p>Even for visitors who decide against paying to skip lines, Disney argues that the new Disney Genie service will help them avoid spending too much time just waiting in lines.</p>\n<p>The new service takes advantage of machine learning technology and algorithms to track where crowds are in the theme parks and then make recommendations to visitors. Visitors can select in advance which attractions they most want to visit, and it will notify them of when they should head to that ride based on the wait times in the park. Guests will also be able to check forecasts for wait times on rides for later in the day based on crowd sizes.</p>\n<p>The Disney Genie services will be built into the existing apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

IDC thinks no less than $10 trillion will be spent on DX initiatives from 2019 through 2024, and 57% of total global IT spend will be on DX by 2024 compared to just 42% in 2020.</p>\n<p>While Adobe can only address a fraction of this huge spending spree, its focus on cloud-based creativity, marketing, document management, and customer engagement software positions it as a potential primary partner for any firm looking to get with the times. Having hauled in $15 billion in sales over the last 12 months, Adobe is a massive firm already. But given the relentlessly rising demand for its software,&nbsp;Adobe has no shortage of room to get much larger.</p>\n<h2>2. A highly profitable growth business</h2>\n<p>Adobe is undeniably a fantastic -- and perhaps underrated -- long-term growth story. It's been growing revenue at a double-digit percentage clip for years, and the company thinks momentum will continue. For the final quarter of fiscal 2021, management is forecasting about a 19% year-over-year increase in sales to $4.07 billion.</p>\n<p>But this stock isn't just for investors with a growth mindset. Adobe is wildly profitable, too. It's been generating operating profit margins of well over 20% over the last decade, and operating margin was at 36% over the last 12-month stretch. With its sticky suite of subscription-based creativity and data management software poised to continue growing, those lucrative profit margins aren't going away anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Pairing those consistent profits with double-digit sales expansion and a valuation currently at 48 times trailing-12-month earnings, a case could be made that Adobe is a value stock hiding in growth stock clothing.</p>\n<h2>3. A superb balance sheet that's constantly being replenished</h2>\n<p>As of Sept. 3, 2021, Adobe had $6.16 billion in cash and equivalents on the books, offset by debt of just $4.12 billion. Its cash hoard is constantly being fed, too. Adobe generated $6.61 billion of free cash flow in the last 12 months, some of which it added to the balance sheet. But management also returns an ample amount to shareholders. Adobe doesn't pay a dividend, but it does repurchase stock. It spent $1 billion in share buybacks during Q3 of fiscal 2021 alone.</p>\n<p>That still leaves plenty of capital for Adobe to invest in new software, or make the occasional acquisition. Its latest purchase: The proposed $1.275 billion takeover of video collaboration platform Frame.io, which boasts over one million users and will integrate with Adobe's existing toolkit for content creators.</p>\n<p>Adobe is still growing fast, generating plenty of profits, and in prime position to help lead its customers into a new digital era. The digital transformation movement is just beginning, so this stock deserves to be a top-of-mind pick to build a portfolio around.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Adobe Stock Is a Buy for the Coming $10 Trillion \"Digital Transformation\" Boom</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy Adobe Stock Is a Buy for the Coming $10 Trillion \"Digital Transformation\" Boom\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-05 09:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/10/01/3-reasons-adobe-stock-is-a-buy-for-the-coming-10-t/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) has hit the skids since its fiscal 2021 third quarter update in September.

Simply calling the market a name or thinking it has been displaced from reality will never help your investment account.</p>\n<p>Yet, most people have a bias as to what they think must happen in the market, and apply that bias to their investment account, with many even posting comments based upon that bias.

If the market is in a positive sentiment trend, then negative fundamentals will be ignored, and vice versa. We have all seen markets rally on bad news and wonder “how the heck is this possible?” I often post this picture from Jim Cramer’s show as the perfect example of when this happens:</p>\n<p>With our objective analysis, not only did we catch the bottom last year at 2200SPX, I even said before we bottomed that we will likely see a strong rally to at least the 4000SPX region, with my ideal target being the 6000SPX region. Now, if you remember the emotional environment at the time, I am sure you can understand why so many looked at me like I was crazy. But, it was clearly not the first call I have made that has elicited such a response. In fact, it was not even the 20th.</p>\n<p>I even saw one comment this past week that said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Avi is right more often than I would like to admit.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The question I always ask is why do so many people fight what I am trying to teach? Well, there are a number of reasons.</p>\n<p>First, in order to accept what I am saying about the market, you have to unlearn all the things you have learned all these years about what drives the market.</p>\n<p>And, I can tell you that those that are able not only find it liberating, but also find it much more profitable:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Avi's service is a game changer! I started reading his public articles more than four years ago. I should have subscribed sooner. Through his service, I have learned to ignore the mass market miss-information. This has vastly improved my investing success. Put in the time to learn from the master. You won't believe the success you will achieve once you have gained this new perspective. Avi and his team are fantastic!”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“I have heard and read about Avi Gilburt and The Market Pinball Wizard for several years prior to actually joining. Like others here I subscribed to several authors including Avi, and would read the public articles. At first, I like probably many others, was skeptical of the service and what was put forth . . . I had to \"unlearn what I had learned\", tune out the news and TV pundits and focus on purely the market. This was not easy as I usually thought the market was hooked at the hip of the economy in real time. Whether you are a novice investor and are just looking for \"macro\" ideas and guidance as to what's in front of you or a seasoned pro, this service, in my opinion, is invaluable! . . . This service is a investment game changer for sure!!”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Second, it requires you to understand that the market is driven by emotion and not by logic. In order to do so, many have to give up viewing the market logically. Yet, most people cannot accept the market action unless they believe they know the reason as to why the market moved.</p>\n<p>What they don’t understand is that reasons are completely useless. They are only offered by the media and pundits after the fact to attempt to explain a move that already happened. And, there are many times they cannot even find a reason as to why a market move happened, which leads to some of the funniest headlines you will see, assuming you are paying attention.</p>\n<p>Consider what was written by Professor Hernan Cortes Douglas, former Luksic Scholar at Harvard University, former Deputy Research Administrator at the World Bank, and former Senior Economist at the IMF, regarding those engaged in “fundamental” analysis for predictive purposes regarding the stock market:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>The historical data say that they cannot succeed; financial markets never collapse when things look bad. In fact, quite the contrary is true. Before contractions begin, macroeconomic flows always look fine. That is why the vast majority of economists always proclaim the economy to be in excellent health just before it swoons. Despite these failures, indeed despite repeating almost precisely those failures, economists have continued to pore over the same macroeconomic fundamentals for clues to the future. If the conventional macroeconomic approach is useless even in retrospect, if it cannot explain or understand an outcome when we know what it is, has it a prayer of doing so when the goal is assessing the future?</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>And, the exact opposite is true. Did not the economic world consider us in a recession during the entire rally from 2200 to 4000?</p>\n<p>As we came into 2021 (with the market starting the year out at 3750SPX), I outlined to those willing to listen that I was expecting at least a 20% rally, with at least the 4600SPX as my target for 2021. That means I was looking for a rally of at least 850 points. Thus far, we have clearly exceeded my 20% minimum rally expectation, and the market has rallied 800 points and come within 50 points of the 4600SPX target I set for this year.</p>\n<p>Many months ago I also noted that I think we can get a 200-300 point pullback from the 4440-4600SPX region before we are ready to rally through 4600SPX. And, as we can see now, the market is again obliging our expectations.</p>\n<p>The funny thing is that I actually got chided recently by another commenter that acknowledged that we are getting the 200-300 point pullback I was expecting, but faulted me for the market topping at 4550SPX and not 4600SPX. I just shook my head in amazement when I read that comment. I caught 800 of the 850 points I called for earlier this year, and even called for this 200-300 point decline. But, sadly, I was simply not perfect in his myopic view. The real truth is that I noted that the 200-300 point decline can begin from the 4440-4600SPX target zone. But, who cares about the truth. (smile)</p>\n<p>Again, it is just so hard for people to let go of what they believe about the market. Sadly, this is the nature of far too many market participants, as so many still fight what I am trying to outline and teach about the market. But, rest assured, I still think we have plenty of time to be able to get to that 4600SPX mark before the end of the year, and potentially even exceed it.</p>\n<p>For many months, I have been outlining a major market pivot to the members of my The Market Pinball Wizard analysis service between 4095-4270SPX. That is the major support in the market at this time. And, I noted earlier this year to our members that once the market exceeds that pivot, it will rally into the 4440-4600SPX region, and then come back to test that market pivot from above. As long as the market holds that support region, I am looking for a signal that we have begun our next rally to our next major target in the 4900-5000SPX region.</p>\n<p>At the end of the week this past week, the futures market struck the top of this support region at the equivalent of the 4270SPX on the nose, and Friday we experienced a very strong rally off that support. Yet, I need to see a 5-wave structure off the low to provide us with our initial signal that the rally to 4900+ has begun in earnest.</p>\n<p>If we do not see that 5-wave structure complete early in the coming week, and instead, we break down below 4320SPX, then it likely means that this current pullback has not yet completed, and we will likely drop towards the 4200-4220SPX region, and ultimately point us down towards the 4165SPX region.</p>\n<p>So, I believe the coming week will provide us clues as to whether we have hit our bottom at the top end of our support region, and have begun the next rally to 4900+, or if we have deeper to go into our support region before that next rally begins in earnest.</p>\n<p>Hey, who knows? I could always be wrong. But, when the two top trending articles on Seeking Alpha this weekend were about an impending bear market and the most dangerous market ever, well, the boat is starting to feel a bit weighty on one side.

That means I was looking for a rally of at least 850 points. Thus far, we have clearly exceeded my 20% minimum rally expectation, and the market has rallied 800 points and come within 50 points of the 4600SPX target I set for this year.\nMany months ago I also noted that I think we can get a 200-300 point pullback from the 4440-4600SPX region before we are ready to rally through 4600SPX. And, as we can see now, the market is again obliging our expectations.\nThe funny thing is that I actually got chided recently by another commenter that acknowledged that we are getting the 200-300 point pullback I was expecting, but faulted me for the market topping at 4550SPX and not 4600SPX. I just shook my head in amazement when I read that comment. I caught 800 of the 850 points I called for earlier this year, and even called for this 200-300 point decline. But, sadly, I was simply not perfect in his myopic view. The real truth is that I noted that the 200-300 point decline can begin from the 4440-4600SPX target zone. But, who cares about the truth. (smile)\nAgain, it is just so hard for people to let go of what they believe about the market. Sadly, this is the nature of far too many market participants, as so many still fight what I am trying to outline and teach about the market. But, rest assured, I still think we have plenty of time to be able to get to that 4600SPX mark before the end of the year, and potentially even exceed it.\nFor many months, I have been outlining a major market pivot to the members of my The Market Pinball Wizard analysis service between 4095-4270SPX. That is the major support in the market at this time. And, I noted earlier this year to our members that once the market exceeds that pivot, it will rally into the 4440-4600SPX region, and then come back to test that market pivot from above. As long as the market holds that support region, I am looking for a signal that we have begun our next rally to our next major target in the 4900-5000SPX region.\nAt the end of the week this past week, the futures market struck the top of this support region at the equivalent of the 4270SPX on the nose, and Friday we experienced a very strong rally off that support. Yet, I need to see a 5-wave structure off the low to provide us with our initial signal that the rally to 4900+ has begun in earnest.\nIf we do not see that 5-wave structure complete early in the coming week, and instead, we break down below 4320SPX, then it likely means that this current pullback has not yet completed, and we will likely drop towards the 4200-4220SPX region, and ultimately point us down towards the 4165SPX region.\nSo, I believe the coming week will provide us clues as to whether we have hit our bottom at the top end of our support region, and have begun the next rally to 4900+, or if we have deeper to go into our support region before that next rally begins in earnest.\nHey, who knows? I could always be wrong. But, when the two top trending articles on Seeking Alpha this weekend were about an impending bear market and the most dangerous market ever, well, the boat is starting to feel a bit weighty on one side. Have a good week all.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":866884839,"gmtCreate":1632753553121,"gmtModify":1632798072955,"author":{"id":"3558393758595354","authorId":"3558393758595354","name":"jer88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c64b2a57368e6315cf4e91bbf34325ac","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like and comment on&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like and comment on&nbsp;","text":"Pls like and comment on","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/866884839","repostId":"2170238006","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2170238006","pubTimestamp":1632751391,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2170238006?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-27 22:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2170238006","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<p>I've been picking stocks to avoid every week, and last week I didn't do so well.

Ended June 30, 2021\n1.4\n\n\n2020\n1.6\n\n\n\nThe Rule of 40 is a software industry rule of thumb that says that as long as the combined revenue growth rate and EBITDA percentage rate equal or exceed 40%, the firm is on an acceptable growth/EBITDA trajectory.\nCWAN’s most recent calculation was 41% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, so the firm has performed well in this regard, per the table below:\n\n\n\n\nRule of 40\nCalculation\n\n\nRecent Rev.
