Former Facebook employee and whistleblower Frances Haugen recently leaked internal presentations and discussions shared on the service.\nThe software is also used by companies including Walmart and Deliveroo. Facebook says it has 7 million paid subscribers on Workplace.\nMicrosoft and Facebook, which recently changed its name to Meta to signal its refocus on the metaverse, are also both building out virtual reality solutions for remote working.\nMicrosoft last week announced it would bring its virtual platform Mesh into Microsoft Teams next year. Facebook recently launched a beta test of Horizon Workrooms, a remote work app for users of its VR headsets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":943,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":851098110,"gmtCreate":1634857559394,"gmtModify":1634857559596,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More ways to earn money","listText":"More ways to earn money","text":"More ways to earn money","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/851098110","repostId":"1103200445","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103200445","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1634776080,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103200445?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-21 08:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Spotify teams up with Shopify to allow in-app merch purchases","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103200445","media":"AFP","summary":"The tie-in comes just two months after the Ottawa-based company reached a similar deal with video-sh","content":"<p>The tie-in comes just two months after the Ottawa-based company reached a similar deal with video-sharing app TikTok.</p>\n<p>In a statement, Shopify said musicians would be able to connect their Shopify store directly to their Spotify profile, so listeners can buy merchandise on the same Spotify page where they can find their latest music.</p>\n<p>Shopify's director of product Amir Kabbara said artists are increasingly entrepreneurial in building \"multifaceted brands and businesses, and now we're making it easier for them to meet fans where they are.\"</p>\n<p>With this, he said, \"we're empowering artists to think beyond the traditional merch table with new ways to monetize, and to experiment with their brands through commerce.\"</p>\n<p>The service will be available to listeners in the United States and Canada, as well as in Australia, Britain, and New Zealand.</p>","source":"lsy1605843958005","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Pillar One, pushed by European countries including the U.K., would assign more taxing power to countries with large consumer markets andpull power away from low-tax jurisdictions such as Ireland.</p>\n<p>Pillar Two, driven by the U.S., would impose at least a 15% tax on companies’ world-wide earnings. Setting that floor makes it easier for the Biden administration to try raising taxes on U.S. companies by up to $2 trillion over a decade, because U.S. rates could rise higher without creating significant opportunities for companies to dodge taxes by shifting profits and addresses.</p>\n<p>Both pillars presenttricky legislative challenges. They likely will move separately through Congress, but the international consensus rests on pairing them and completing both tasks. Mr. Biden and Ms. Yellen emphasize the minimum tax, but other countries care more about getting the power to expand their corporate taxes. They have imposed digital services taxes on technology companies such asFacebookInc.andAlphabetInc.—which they say aren’t paying enough corporate taxes—and will only give those up if they can tax those firms another way.</p>\n<p>“The role of Congress will be very important, because if the rest of the world doesn’t think it’s going to get what it bargained for on [profit-allocation rules], then it will lose its appetite” for the rest of the deal, said Deloitte LLP’s Robert Stack, the Obama administration’s international tax negotiator.</p>\n<p>The Biden administration will try to turn its drive for a tougher minimum tax into legislation this fall without Republican votes by using the budget reconciliation process that requires a simple Senate majority instead of the 60 votes needed for most bills. The White House would then attempt to change the international rules, perhaps through a treaty requiring Republican support.</p>\n<p>The administration’s international tax changes alone would raise about $1 trillion over a decade to help pay for policies such as an expanded child tax credit and renewable-energy tax breaks. That may be enough motivation for many Democrats.</p>\n<p>“It’s easier to sell the notion of raising taxes on offshore earnings than it is to raise rates domestically,” said Manal Corwin of KPMG LLP, a former Obama administration Treasury official.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>“The world is ready to end the global race to the bottom on corporate taxation, and there’s broad consensus about how to do it.”</b>\n <b>— Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Business groups are urging the U.S. to wait. Their point: The U.S. imposed minimum taxes on U.S. companies in 2017, and other countries didn’t follow.</p>\n<p>“Are we really going to do it again and increase our rates while we wait and see if they do something?” said Cathy Schultz, vice president for tax and fiscal policy at Business Roundtable, an association of large-company chief executives.</p>\n<p>The 130-country agreement includes an important shift in how the world sees the existing U.S. minimum tax. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. pressed other countries to accept that 2017 tax as complying with any agreement. The Biden administration’s focus on tougher minimum taxes changed the U.S. negotiating position.</p>\n<p>The existing U.S. tax is calculated globally, not for a company’s profits in each country, a feature that Treasury officials say lets companies benefit from profits in low-tax countries. However, the new U.S.-backed deal says minimum taxes would be calculated on a country-by-country basis, making it harder for companies to reduce taxes by blending profits in high- and low-tax jurisdictions. Businesses oppose the country-by-country calculation as costly to comply with.</p>\n<p>The agreement says “consideration will be given” to how the U.S. tax coexists with international rules instead of automatically making the U.S. minimum tax compliant. The agreement sets a minimum 15% tax rate and includes a mechanismto punish companies from countries without minimum taxes.</p>\n<p>Those features are absent in current U.S. law, but they are in the Biden plan. That shift in U.S. posture—from seeking international acceptance of U.S. law to seeking changes in U.S. law—pressures Congress.</p>\n<p>If U.S. law isn’t deemed compliant, American companies could face higher taxes abroad. But the agreement gives the U.S. some flexibility as the legislative process unfolds.</p>\n<p>Most members of Congress have paid little attention to details of international talks, and Democrats may raise taxes without going as far as Treasury officials want.</p>\n<p>At some point, Congress will turn to Pillar One, to give countries more power to tax companies that sell to their residents but don’t have much taxable presence there. That has been driven by European frustration at U.S.-based technology giants, whichdominate their marketsbut funnel tax payments elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Observers and congressional aides say Pillar One will require a treaty and thus a two-thirds vote in the evenly divided Senate, requiring Republican support. Crucial details remain unresolved internationally as further talks continue through October. Ms. Yellen said Sunday that it could be ready for congressional consideration by spring 2022 and that officials would determine then what would be needed to implement it.</p>\n<p>Senate GOP aides say they are waiting for information from the administration about how the deal affects U.S. companies and revenue. A senior Treasury official said the administration negotiated the deal with bipartisan support in mind, noting Republican backing for removing foreign countries’ digital taxes.</p>\n<p>The administration says Pillar One will have little impact on revenue, because the U.S. would cede some taxing authority but gain power over companies selling to Americans.</p>\n<p>If Pillar One raises too much money, it looks like a tax increase Republicans would oppose. If it loses too much revenue, it looks like a giveaway of the U.S. tax base. If much of the burden falls on U.S. companies, as early estimates suggest, that also mayspur opposition from lawmakers.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, a Pillar One agreement might require a nudge from U.S. multinational companies. Corporations may oppose the administration on the minimum tax but back Mr. Biden later, said Ben Koltun, director of research at Beacon Policy Advisors. They could push Republicans to back the subsequent Pillar One deal, contending that it brings certainty and predictability to the international tax order, he said.</p>\n<p>“The bet by the administration is the temperature will cool” before treaty consideration, Mr. Koltun said. “There are still plenty of pro-business Republicans.”</p>","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>Global Tax Deal Heads Down Perilous Path in Congress</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\">\nGlobal Tax Deal Heads Down Perilous Path in Congress\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-12 14:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-tax-deal-heads-down-perilous-path-in-congress-11626008186?mod=hp_lead_pos3><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Business groups urge delay as U.S. lawmakers prepare for complex two-step process.\n\nWASHINGTON—A complex international corporate tax deal that took years to hammer out soon faces one of its toughest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-tax-deal-heads-down-perilous-path-in-congress-11626008186?mod=hp_lead_pos3\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","SPY":"标普500ETF"},"source_url":"https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-tax-deal-heads-down-perilous-path-in-congress-11626008186?mod=hp_lead_pos3","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162001323","content_text":"Business groups urge delay as U.S. lawmakers prepare for complex two-step process.\n\nWASHINGTON—A complex international corporate tax deal that took years to hammer out soon faces one of its toughest tests: the U.S. Congress.\nThe Group of 20 major economiesbacked the plan this weekendin Venice, Italy, following theearlier endorsement from a broader 130-country group.

However, the new U.S.-backed deal says minimum taxes would be calculated on a country-by-country basis, making it harder for companies to reduce taxes by blending profits in high- and low-tax jurisdictions. Businesses oppose the country-by-country calculation as costly to comply with.\nThe agreement says “consideration will be given” to how the U.S. tax coexists with international rules instead of automatically making the U.S. minimum tax compliant. The agreement sets a minimum 15% tax rate and includes a mechanismto punish companies from countries without minimum taxes.\nThose features are absent in current U.S. law, but they are in the Biden plan. That shift in U.S. posture—from seeking international acceptance of U.S. law to seeking changes in U.S. law—pressures Congress.\nIf U.S. law isn’t deemed compliant, American companies could face higher taxes abroad. But the agreement gives the U.S. some flexibility as the legislative process unfolds.\nMost members of Congress have paid little attention to details of international talks, and Democrats may raise taxes without going as far as Treasury officials want.\nAt some point, Congress will turn to Pillar One, to give countries more power to tax companies that sell to their residents but don’t have much taxable presence there. That has been driven by European frustration at U.S.-based technology giants, whichdominate their marketsbut funnel tax payments elsewhere.\nObservers and congressional aides say Pillar One will require a treaty and thus a two-thirds vote in the evenly divided Senate, requiring Republican support. Crucial details remain unresolved internationally as further talks continue through October. Ms. Yellen said Sunday that it could be ready for congressional consideration by spring 2022 and that officials would determine then what would be needed to implement it.\nSenate GOP aides say they are waiting for information from the administration about how the deal affects U.S. companies and revenue. A senior Treasury official said the administration negotiated the deal with bipartisan support in mind, noting Republican backing for removing foreign countries’ digital taxes.\nThe administration says Pillar One will have little impact on revenue, because the U.S. would cede some taxing authority but gain power over companies selling to Americans.\nIf Pillar One raises too much money, it looks like a tax increase Republicans would oppose. If it loses too much revenue, it looks like a giveaway of the U.S. tax base. If much of the burden falls on U.S. companies, as early estimates suggest, that also mayspur opposition from lawmakers.\nUltimately, a Pillar One agreement might require a nudge from U.S. multinational companies. Corporations may oppose the administration on the minimum tax but back Mr. Biden later, said Ben Koltun, director of research at Beacon Policy Advisors. They could push Republicans to back the subsequent Pillar One deal, contending that it brings certainty and predictability to the international tax order, he said.\n“The bet by the administration is the temperature will cool” before treaty consideration, Mr. Koltun said. “There are still plenty of pro-business Republicans.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143259630,"gmtCreate":1625797233520,"gmtModify":1631888844948,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That is a very nice gesture.","listText":"That is a very nice gesture.","text":"That is a very nice gesture.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143259630","repostId":"1137658325","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":274,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143225790,"gmtCreate":1625797082110,"gmtModify":1631888844954,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","listText":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","text":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143225790","repostId":"1140589344","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124164870,"gmtCreate":1624754348090,"gmtModify":1631888844955,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A different way to look at the purpose of&nbsp;Apple TV+","listText":"A different way to look at the purpose of&nbsp;Apple TV+","text":"A different way to look at the purpose of Apple TV+","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/124164870","repostId":"1189436009","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189436009","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624752667,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189436009?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 08:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple's TV service faces its biggest test yet as free trials run out","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189436009","media":"CNBC","summary":"Starting in July, Apple will no longer provide a free year of the streaming service with purchases.

Instead, it will offer 3 months.\nAlso in July, the first subscribers to activate Apple's promotional offer will start to be automatically billed for the service after watching its shows for nearly 21 months for free.\nApple still has a much smaller content library than rivals such as Netflix and Disney.\n\nThe training wheels are about to come off for Apple TV+, the company's streaming video service.\nApple TV+ costs $4.99 per month. It's also bundled with other Apple services like Music and iCloud in packages called Apple One starting at $14.95 per month. But a lot of subscribers aren't paying.\nApple gave away a huge number of Apple TV+ of subscriptions to get the service off the ground. Starting in September 2019, anyone who bought an Apple product — an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or Apple Watch — got one year of Apple TV+ for free. During the pandemic, Apple extended the offer twice for people whose trial periods were about to expire.\nThe majority of Apple TV+ subscribers are still on the promotional offer, with 62% of current subscribers accessing Apple TV+ through a promotional package, according to survey data by Moffatt Nathanson published in January. Apple hasn't said how many subscribers the service has, but it has sold hundreds of millions of iPhones and other gadgets since late 2019.\nNow Apple is starting to wean Apple TV+ subscribers off the free plan.\nOn July 1, people who buy Apple products will be eligible for only 3 months of free Apple TV+, instead of a year, and people who already cashed on the trial can't get it again. Also during July, the first subscribers to activate the promotional offer will start to be automatically billed for the service after having access to its shows for nearly 21 months for free.\nThis creates a huge test for Apple.\nWill the millions of users currently on a free trial end up signing up for the $5 per month service or an Apple bundle because they can't go without Apple's shows? Or will they cancel?\nOthers may simply forget that they were on the trial and not immediately notice the new charges.\nApple reducing its reliance on free trials for Apple TV+ is a \"critical point\" for the service, said Parks Associates analyst Steve Cason, who follows the streaming industry.\n\"For newer or smaller services, partnerships and promotions are an invaluable customer acquisition tool,\" Cason said. \"A large percentage of folks follow through, they truly love the service and continue it. Or they forget they gave the service their credit card.\"\nFewer TV shows and movies than rivals\nApple TV+ has always had fewer hours of movies and TV compared to other streaming services, which may be a reason why it debuted with a lower price, versus to $8 per month for Disney+ or $8.99 for a standard Netflix plan.\nWhen Apple TV+ was launched in November 2019, it had nine original, Apple-backed shows and movies. Now it has around 87 original TV shows, movies and documentaries. That’s nowhere near what other services offer.\nHulu, for example, has thousands of shows, according to Reelgood data, many of which already have large fanbases because they were broadcast on TV.Netflix and Amazon Prime Video both have more than 1,000 licensed and original shows for customers to watch.\nApple has not licensed any non-exclusive shows for its service, and instead is only offering shows it financially backed. It hasn’t spent to buy media companies to fill out its back catalog, unlike Amazon, which recently agreed to acquire MGM Studios.\nMost of Apple’s shows star big-named producers and actors, such as Oprah and Steven Spielberg. However, talent is not exclusively tied to the company. Oprah’s biggest interview in recent memory, with Prince Harry, was broadcast on CBS. Steven Spielberg recently signed a deal with Netflix, too.\nStreaming ratings are notoriously secretive, and Apple’s never revealed how many viewers any of its shows have.\nWhen Apple executives are asked about the success of its content, they point to award nominations. In a press release last week,Apple said that its original shows have received 112 awards and 389 nominations, including Critics Choice awards, Golden Globes, and Oscars.\n“No matter what device you enjoy it from, it is a milestone period for Apple TV+, racking up many new award nominations and wins, including its first Oscar nominations,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said on a call with analysts in April.\nCook went on to praise one show in particular, “Ted Lasso,” which looks like Apple TV+‘s first big hit. The breezy comedy about an American soccer coach, which was based on an NBC advertisement poking fun at Americans’ ignorance about soccer, found a fanbase with its low-stakes banter.\n“Ted Lasso” season 2 will premier on July 23 and Apple will release new episodes weekly with an aim to get current subscribers on the trial hooked and potentially find new subscribers.\nA promotional email sent to subscribers this week highlights “Ted Lasso” in addition to a second season of “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston premiering in September. The email also promoted shows that have yet to premier, such as a comedy starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd called “The Shrink Next Door” and the sci-fi series “Foundation” based on Issac Asimov’s books.\nStill, “Ted Lasso” is a 30-minute comedy with only 10 episodes currently available, and overall, Apple’s library of content still trails far behind rivals.\n“Apple’s not in a position of strength here,” Moffett Nathanson’s Michael Nathanson said. “Although they have some excellent shows, they lack the scale of new releases, tentpole titles and a deep library to really create a large profitable business at this point.”\nPart of a whole\nIt’s hard to figure out how Apple TV+ stacks up to Disney or Netflix in terms of subscribers because Apple doesn’t release stats.\nNetflix has 208 million subscribers around the world. It would also be surprising if Apple can match Disney+’s 100 million subscribers, which it has built since Apple TV+ debuted.\nAnalysts are reluctant to offer estimates, but based on the number of smartphones Apple sells per year, tens of millions of people could have taken the promotional offer for Apple TV. Apple sold 206 million iPhones globally in 2020,according to an IDC estimate, and that doesn’t include the other Apple products that come with a free trial.\nEleven percent of U.S. households with a high-speed internet connection subscribe to Apple TV+, according to Parks Associates survey data. There are about 103 million households with broadband,according to Census data.\nThe percent of subscribers who could end up churning is also foggy. A Moffett Nathanson analysis of survey data suggests 29% percent of Apple TV+ subscribers don’t plan to renew and 41% aren’t sure yet. Only 30% said they planned to continue subscribing to Apple TV+.\nBut Apple never said it planned to take on Netflix, Cason said, so the total number of subscribers may not be that important to the company. He thinks that Apple TV+ is another one of several services designed to get users hooked on iPhones and Apple services, in line with Apple’s overall corporate strategy.\n“Apple wants to get you into their ecosystem through a device purchase, and once you get in there, they go, ‘We’ll give you Apple TV+. We also have Apple Music, podcasts, news, fitness, you can bundle them or you buy them separate,’” Cason said.\nIn fact, that’s how Apple thinks about its subscriber numbers. It said in April that it has 660 million paid subscribers across its services — but that also includes anyone who’s subscribed to an app through App Store billing.\nApple TV+ gives the company commercial-free content it can use to promote new audio and visual standards it builds into its products. For example, when Apple TV+ shows first debuted, they supported a Dolby HDR standard that produced better image quality when viewed through a supported Apple player. The next year, Apple announced that iPhones can film video using Dolby Vision HDR.\nMore recently, Apple launched a feature called spatial audio that works like advanced surround sound when listening on certain Apple headphones. Apple TV+ shows and movies support spatial audio, giving Apple customers the ability to watch a show in it without the company making sure that supported content is available from rivals.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":121409023,"gmtCreate":1624486766662,"gmtModify":1631888844959,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Monitoring Nio","listText":"Monitoring Nio","text":"Monitoring Nio","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/121409023","repostId":"1145825451","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145825451","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624433586,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1145825451?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-23 15:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why I Believe NIO Will Beat Out Tesla","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145825451","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.Super fans of the latest and greatest high-endTesla, Inc. model received some disappointing news a week ago when CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the release of its highly anticipated Model S Plaid Plus with a tweet on June 6.Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.The go","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>The fact that Tesla scrapped its Model S Plaid Plus release is just part of it.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Super fans of the latest and greatest high-end<b>Tesla, Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:<b>TSLA</b>) model received some disappointing news a week ago when CEO Elon Musk abruptly canceled the release of its highly anticipated Model S Plaid Plus with a tweet on June 6.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b294a3604c7ba82bd19b3c70be3a4020\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: nrqemi / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>Musk wrote there was… “No need, as Plaid is just so good.”</p>\n<p>The Model S Plaid Plus was supposed to be the fastest, most powerful and priciest version of the company’s Model S. Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.</p>\n<p>Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.</p>\n<p>As a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.</p>\n<p>This “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.</p>\n<p>Both the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.</p>\n<p>Clearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”</p>\n<p>As someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know do<i>not</i>want to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.</p>\n<p>What Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.</p>\n<p>This is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.</p>\n<p>However, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>I’m talking about&nbsp;<b>Nio, Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio back in February.</p>\n<p>The company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.</p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies like<b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>), another one of my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.</p>\n<p>With the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.</p>\n<p>That means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.</p>\n<p>Shares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%.

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.\nInstead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.\nAs a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.\nThis “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.\nBoth the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.\nClearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”\nAs someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know donotwant to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.\nWhat Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.\nThe good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.\nThis is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.\nHowever, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.\nTaking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential\nI’m talking about Nio, Inc.(NYSE:NIO). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio back in February.\nThe company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.\nThe company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies likeNVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA), another one of myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.\nNow, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.\nWith the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.\nThat means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.\nShares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”\nInterestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.\nIn other words, NIO represents thecrème de la crèmeof EV stocks right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123001272,"gmtCreate":1624401893396,"gmtModify":1631888844960,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Monitoring the stock","listText":"Monitoring the stock","text":"Monitoring the stock","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123001272","repostId":"1117650695","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1117650695","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623902228,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1117650695?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Shopify: Valuation Should Not Be A Concern","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117650695","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Shopify is a leading merchant platform empowering mostly small online retailers.Shopify is set to grow revenues to $5b by 2023.Fulfillment center strategy makes Shopify a long-term threat to Amazon.Shopify is taking a larger bite out of the e-commerce market and the price is justified given Shopify's potential for rapid revenue growth.Shopify  is a strong buy as the merchant platform takes a bigger and bigger bite out of the expanding e-commerce market and revenues are growing rapidly.

Shopify is on its way to becoming a $5b annual revenue company and its fulfillment center strategy provides fertile ground for stock price appreciation. Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)should be worried.</p>\n<p><b>Why Shopify is a strong buy</b></p>\n<p>Shopify enables people to start an online business relatively fast and with very little cost. Itse-commerce platform offers a suite of integrated products and apps that includes marketing functionality, payment processing and customer engagement tools. Shopify’s core services are paid for on a subscription basis with the most basic plan starting at $29-month.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0e35fa316c0fd7e939400d53fd623fb\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"266\"><span>(Source: Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>Thee-commerce market is booming, not just because of the pandemic. The ease of shopping and the wide distribution of mobile devices made online shopping popular even before COVID-19 emerged. Globale-commerce sales are expected to rise in the future with some estimates calling for global online sales of $4.9 trillion in 2021... with sales growing 30% to $6.4 trillion by 2024.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9918556cae0d9e7fdb0e58780b922413\" tg-width=\"907\" tg-height=\"460\"><span>(Source:Oberlo)</span></p>\n<p>Online sales are not only expected to grow in absolute terms but also relatively: E-Commerce is taking an ever-growing share of retail sales, a trend that accelerated during the 2020 pandemic year. Thee-commerce share of retail sales in 2020 was 18% and is projected to grow to 21.8% by 2024.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c7297749c9cb665e56f89bb920507e5\" tg-width=\"905\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source:Oberlo)</span></p>\n<p>Growth ine-commerce and merchandise volumes are not dependent on one particular category either. People buy everything from fashion items to personal care products online. According to Hootsuite’sDigital 2021 Global Overview Report, money spent on travel and accommodation cratered 51% due to the pandemic but all other categories grew sales by at least 18% Y/Y.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd515034ac6d1ea79da171cca44eacb0\" tg-width=\"1232\" tg-height=\"682\"><span>(Source: Digital 2021Global Overview Report)</span></p>\n<p>Shopify also saw a year of revenue acceleration during the pandemic… just like Amazon did. As people lost their jobs because of COVID-19 and remote working became the new standard, Shopify’s merchant platform gained in popularity, too. The pandemic also helped shift a lot of purchasing power online as retail stores and small businesses shut their doors. Shopify benefited from these unfortunate trends by experiencing a surge in revenues as more retailers built online stores and processed transactions through Shopify. Shopify’s revenues surged 86% to $2.9b in FY 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47be367ae30fc395bd0cf9f998f5efc0\" tg-width=\"1106\" tg-height=\"574\"><span>(Source:Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>Shopify’s revenues can be broken down into two parts, subscriptions and merchant solutions. Subscriptions include the payments for monthly plans and merchant solutions include additional costs for doing business through Shopify, such as payment processing fees and costs associated with Shopify Shipping and point-of-sale terminals. Revenues from merchant solutions have become more important for Shopify over time as the platform developed its ecosystem and created new apps and products for its merchants to use.</p>\n<p>2020 was a banner year for Shopify and its merchants. The gross merchandise value, the amount cumulatively sold through Shopify, doubled from $61.1b before the pandemic to $119.6b a year later. While 2020 growth rates will likely decline in 2021 as normal retail businesses open their doors again, merchandise volumes will continue to grow as thee-commerce market expands. I estimate that Shopify’s GMV will reach $210b for FY 2021 and $340b next year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/845466a2e9dd8dcae9d4d3c4542611c9\" tg-width=\"938\" tg-height=\"546\"><span>(Source: Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>Shopify’s FY 2020 gross profits also saw rapid growth.

This is quite predictable.</p>\n<p>Longer term, however, Shopify should emerge as a growing threat to Amazon because of its investments in fulfillment centers. Entering the physical space is the next step in Shopify’s evolution and Amazon should be worried. Amazon is still the largeste-commerce platform, by far, but Shopify’s move into fulfillment centers is set to narrow this existing gap between the two companies. Amazon’s share of US retaile-commerce share is 4.5 times larger than Shopify’s giving Shopify a lot of potential to catch up...</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5108b1c5dead03ebaec97df972ed74f7\" tg-width=\"891\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>(Source: Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>Building its own fulfillment centers makes strategic sense for Shopify since it solves problems that a lot of online retailers have. Fulfillment centers, as the same implies, take over the function of fulfillment. This means a merchant that sells on Shopify sends goods to a warehouse and Shopify takes over order processing and shipping in return for a fee. The benefit for the retailer is obvious: Reduced shipping times and optimized inventory management.</p>\n<p>The benefit for Shopify: It can collect more revenues by controlling the fulfillment part of the sales process. While Shopify will build new fulfillment centers in the US as part of a $1b investment plan, it also provides Shopify with the option to use its US fulfillment network as a springboard to enter markets outside the US and drive its international expansion.</p>\n<p>Shopify is cashed up after the pandemic year and has more than enough cash to finance its expansion which in the future will likely include the expansion into international fulfillment markets. Shopify’s balance sheet is healthy enough to support the platform’s growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b284d5316a0604662b9dd5af30215f3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"542\"><span>(Source:Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>If Shopify and Amazon were to go toe-to-toe, Amazon would have a distinct advantage… because it is so much bigger than Shopify and because its website is drawing the most traffic as the number onee-commerce platform in the US. Amazon is about ten times bigger than Shopify regarding market value and Amazon has sales that are more than one hundred times larger than Shopify’s… so the battle between these twoe-commerce companies can be seen as a battle between David and Goliath, with Amazon being the Goliath.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5d0d062b9a02247c1e38dc5b0c23343\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"500\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>But Shopify is growing its merchant platform fast and operates from a much smaller revenue base, which is easier to scale. Shopify has more than 1.7m merchants signed on to its platform from 175 countries and continually develops news complementary sources of revenues. In its latestproduct news, Shopify announced that it will make its “one-click checkout” available to all merchants selling on Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)&nbsp;and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)using Shop Pay. The integration is set to lower the “abandoned card” problem many retailers have which is customers not completing the checkout process. Shop Pay could provide a remedy to this problem by making the checkout process easier and more efficient.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Margins ine-commerce are very thin and growing competition in the industry will make things worse long term. The easy and relatively low-cost entry into thee-commerce market could also turn out to be a problem longer term. Companies that win ine-commerce are companies like Shopify with their own ecosystems that create a moat and protect against competition. Slowing revenue growth and an overblown valuation may be the two biggest risks for Shopify.</p>\n<p><b>You pay for Shopify's growth...</b></p>\n<p>By the end of next year Shopify should be a $5b annual revenue company, but the critical revenue milestone could be reached much sooner if Shopify manages to grow as fast as it did during the pandemic. The expectation is for Shopify to earn $4.35-share on revenues of $4.4b in FY 2021 with revenues scaling to ten-fold to $42b this decade. I believe fulfillment centers alone represent a $1b annual revenue opportunity for Shopify long term. Revenues for FY 2022 should also be closer to $6.5b with the consensus calling for revenues of \"only\" $5.9b.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/add63adc4e771f68c7aa36779607334d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"286\"><span>(Source: Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>Amazon still has a big lead on Shopify, but the twoe-commerce companies are set to go toe-to-toe long term.

Shopify is on its way to becoming a $5b annual revenue company and its fulfillment center strategy provides fertile ground for stock price appreciation. Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)should be worried.\nWhy Shopify is a strong buy\nShopify enables people to start an online business relatively fast and with very little cost. Itse-commerce platform offers a suite of integrated products and apps that includes marketing functionality, payment processing and customer engagement tools. Shopify’s core services are paid for on a subscription basis with the most basic plan starting at $29-month.\n(Source: Shopify)\nThee-commerce market is booming, not just because of the pandemic. The ease of shopping and the wide distribution of mobile devices made online shopping popular even before COVID-19 emerged. Globale-commerce sales are expected to rise in the future with some estimates calling for global online sales of $4.9 trillion in 2021... with sales growing 30% to $6.4 trillion by 2024.\n(Source:Oberlo)\nOnline sales are not only expected to grow in absolute terms but also relatively: E-Commerce is taking an ever-growing share of retail sales, a trend that accelerated during the 2020 pandemic year. Thee-commerce share of retail sales in 2020 was 18% and is projected to grow to 21.8% by 2024.\n(Source:Oberlo)\nGrowth ine-commerce and merchandise volumes are not dependent on one particular category either. People buy everything from fashion items to personal care products online. According to Hootsuite’sDigital 2021 Global Overview Report, money spent on travel and accommodation cratered 51% due to the pandemic but all other categories grew sales by at least 18% Y/Y.\n(Source: Digital 2021Global Overview Report)\nShopify also saw a year of revenue acceleration during the pandemic… just like Amazon did. As people lost their jobs because of COVID-19 and remote working became the new standard, Shopify’s merchant platform gained in popularity, too. The pandemic also helped shift a lot of purchasing power online as retail stores and small businesses shut their doors. Shopify benefited from these unfortunate trends by experiencing a surge in revenues as more retailers built online stores and processed transactions through Shopify. Shopify’s revenues surged 86% to $2.9b in FY 2020.\n(Source:Shopify)\nShopify’s revenues can be broken down into two parts, subscriptions and merchant solutions. Subscriptions include the payments for monthly plans and merchant solutions include additional costs for doing business through Shopify, such as payment processing fees and costs associated with Shopify Shipping and point-of-sale terminals. Revenues from merchant solutions have become more important for Shopify over time as the platform developed its ecosystem and created new apps and products for its merchants to use.\n2020 was a banner year for Shopify and its merchants. The gross merchandise value, the amount cumulatively sold through Shopify, doubled from $61.1b before the pandemic to $119.6b a year later. While 2020 growth rates will likely decline in 2021 as normal retail businesses open their doors again, merchandise volumes will continue to grow as thee-commerce market expands. I estimate that Shopify’s GMV will reach $210b for FY 2021 and $340b next year.\n(Source: Shopify)\nShopify’s FY 2020 gross profits also saw rapid growth. Gross profits surged 78% to $1.6b with more growth expected in FY 2021.\n(Source: Shopify)\nTaking on Amazon\nShopify’s merchant platform shows healthy growth in subscriber and merchant revenues and merchant revenues are going to continue to grow in importance as Shopify signs up new partners and develops its apps suite. This is quite predictable.\nLonger term, however, Shopify should emerge as a growing threat to Amazon because of its investments in fulfillment centers. Entering the physical space is the next step in Shopify’s evolution and Amazon should be worried. Amazon is still the largeste-commerce platform, by far, but Shopify’s move into fulfillment centers is set to narrow this existing gap between the two companies. Amazon’s share of US retaile-commerce share is 4.5 times larger than Shopify’s giving Shopify a lot of potential to catch up...\n(Source: Shopify)\nBuilding its own fulfillment centers makes strategic sense for Shopify since it solves problems that a lot of online retailers have. Fulfillment centers, as the same implies, take over the function of fulfillment. This means a merchant that sells on Shopify sends goods to a warehouse and Shopify takes over order processing and shipping in return for a fee. The benefit for the retailer is obvious: Reduced shipping times and optimized inventory management.\nThe benefit for Shopify: It can collect more revenues by controlling the fulfillment part of the sales process. While Shopify will build new fulfillment centers in the US as part of a $1b investment plan, it also provides Shopify with the option to use its US fulfillment network as a springboard to enter markets outside the US and drive its international expansion.\nShopify is cashed up after the pandemic year and has more than enough cash to finance its expansion which in the future will likely include the expansion into international fulfillment markets. Shopify’s balance sheet is healthy enough to support the platform’s growth.\n(Source:Shopify)\nIf Shopify and Amazon were to go toe-to-toe, Amazon would have a distinct advantage… because it is so much bigger than Shopify and because its website is drawing the most traffic as the number onee-commerce platform in the US. Amazon is about ten times bigger than Shopify regarding market value and Amazon has sales that are more than one hundred times larger than Shopify’s… so the battle between these twoe-commerce companies can be seen as a battle between David and Goliath, with Amazon being the Goliath.\nData by YCharts\nBut Shopify is growing its merchant platform fast and operates from a much smaller revenue base, which is easier to scale. Shopify has more than 1.7m merchants signed on to its platform from 175 countries and continually develops news complementary sources of revenues. In its latestproduct news, Shopify announced that it will make its “one-click checkout” available to all merchants selling on Facebook(NASDAQ:FB) and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)using Shop Pay. The integration is set to lower the “abandoned card” problem many retailers have which is customers not completing the checkout process. Shop Pay could provide a remedy to this problem by making the checkout process easier and more efficient.\nRisks\nMargins ine-commerce are very thin and growing competition in the industry will make things worse long term. The easy and relatively low-cost entry into thee-commerce market could also turn out to be a problem longer term. Companies that win ine-commerce are companies like Shopify with their own ecosystems that create a moat and protect against competition. Slowing revenue growth and an overblown valuation may be the two biggest risks for Shopify.\nYou pay for Shopify's growth...\nBy the end of next year Shopify should be a $5b annual revenue company, but the critical revenue milestone could be reached much sooner if Shopify manages to grow as fast as it did during the pandemic. The expectation is for Shopify to earn $4.35-share on revenues of $4.4b in FY 2021 with revenues scaling to ten-fold to $42b this decade. I believe fulfillment centers alone represent a $1b annual revenue opportunity for Shopify long term. Revenues for FY 2022 should also be closer to $6.5b with the consensus calling for revenues of \"only\" $5.9b.\n(Source: Seeking Alpha)\nAmazon still has a big lead on Shopify, but the twoe-commerce companies are set to go toe-to-toe long term. Every new product that Shopify rolls out and every new fulfillment center it builds brings Shopify one step closer to taking Amazon head-on. Although Shopify is more expensive than Amazon on a per-dollar-of-revenue basis, the merchant platform clearly has the stature and ambition to take on Amazon.\nShopify trades at a P-S ratio of 28, but you pay for growth...\nData by YCharts\nFinal thoughts\nShopify has an incredible long-term growth opportunity and Amazon should be worried.\nShopify has proven to be a real innovator in the industry and constantly develops new products that make online shopping easier for both the online retailer and the merchant.\nAlthough Shopify has a much higher P-S ratio than Amazon, Shopify has more potential to grow because of its relatively smaller revenue base and market cap.\nThe fulfillment center strategy makes a lot of strategic sense and will fortify Shopify's position in the e-commerce market.

If banks did decide they were losing too much in deposits to the Fed, they could simply raise deposit rates and pull the money back.\nLorie Logan, an executive vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who runs the bank’s trading desk, said in an April 15speechthat fears that the overnight reverse repurchase facility would suck too much money from the financial system “have not materialized in the intervening years, even through various periods of market stress.”\nMeanwhile, anyone stashing $1 billion in the facility can look forward to taking out $2 billion—in the year 3,408.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165233486,"gmtCreate":1624145485745,"gmtModify":1631888844965,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/165233486","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

Instead, it will offer 3 months.\nAlso in July, the first subscribers to activate Apple's promotional offer will start to be automatically billed for the service after watching its shows for nearly 21 months for free.\nApple still has a much smaller content library than rivals such as Netflix and Disney.\n\nThe training wheels are about to come off for Apple TV+, the company's streaming video service.\nApple TV+ costs $4.99 per month. It's also bundled with other Apple services like Music and iCloud in packages called Apple One starting at $14.95 per month. But a lot of subscribers aren't paying.\nApple gave away a huge number of Apple TV+ of subscriptions to get the service off the ground. Starting in September 2019, anyone who bought an Apple product — an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or Apple Watch — got one year of Apple TV+ for free. During the pandemic, Apple extended the offer twice for people whose trial periods were about to expire.\nThe majority of Apple TV+ subscribers are still on the promotional offer, with 62% of current subscribers accessing Apple TV+ through a promotional package, according to survey data by Moffatt Nathanson published in January. Apple hasn't said how many subscribers the service has, but it has sold hundreds of millions of iPhones and other gadgets since late 2019.\nNow Apple is starting to wean Apple TV+ subscribers off the free plan.\nOn July 1, people who buy Apple products will be eligible for only 3 months of free Apple TV+, instead of a year, and people who already cashed on the trial can't get it again. Also during July, the first subscribers to activate the promotional offer will start to be automatically billed for the service after having access to its shows for nearly 21 months for free.\nThis creates a huge test for Apple.\nWill the millions of users currently on a free trial end up signing up for the $5 per month service or an Apple bundle because they can't go without Apple's shows? Or will they cancel?\nOthers may simply forget that they were on the trial and not immediately notice the new charges.\nApple reducing its reliance on free trials for Apple TV+ is a \"critical point\" for the service, said Parks Associates analyst Steve Cason, who follows the streaming industry.\n\"For newer or smaller services, partnerships and promotions are an invaluable customer acquisition tool,\" Cason said. \"A large percentage of folks follow through, they truly love the service and continue it. Or they forget they gave the service their credit card.\"\nFewer TV shows and movies than rivals\nApple TV+ has always had fewer hours of movies and TV compared to other streaming services, which may be a reason why it debuted with a lower price, versus to $8 per month for Disney+ or $8.99 for a standard Netflix plan.\nWhen Apple TV+ was launched in November 2019, it had nine original, Apple-backed shows and movies. Now it has around 87 original TV shows, movies and documentaries. That’s nowhere near what other services offer.\nHulu, for example, has thousands of shows, according to Reelgood data, many of which already have large fanbases because they were broadcast on TV.Netflix and Amazon Prime Video both have more than 1,000 licensed and original shows for customers to watch.\nApple has not licensed any non-exclusive shows for its service, and instead is only offering shows it financially backed. It hasn’t spent to buy media companies to fill out its back catalog, unlike Amazon, which recently agreed to acquire MGM Studios.\nMost of Apple’s shows star big-named producers and actors, such as Oprah and Steven Spielberg. However, talent is not exclusively tied to the company. Oprah’s biggest interview in recent memory, with Prince Harry, was broadcast on CBS. Steven Spielberg recently signed a deal with Netflix, too.\nStreaming ratings are notoriously secretive, and Apple’s never revealed how many viewers any of its shows have.\nWhen Apple executives are asked about the success of its content, they point to award nominations. In a press release last week,Apple said that its original shows have received 112 awards and 389 nominations, including Critics Choice awards, Golden Globes, and Oscars.\n“No matter what device you enjoy it from, it is a milestone period for Apple TV+, racking up many new award nominations and wins, including its first Oscar nominations,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said on a call with analysts in April.\nCook went on to praise one show in particular, “Ted Lasso,” which looks like Apple TV+‘s first big hit. The breezy comedy about an American soccer coach, which was based on an NBC advertisement poking fun at Americans’ ignorance about soccer, found a fanbase with its low-stakes banter.\n“Ted Lasso” season 2 will premier on July 23 and Apple will release new episodes weekly with an aim to get current subscribers on the trial hooked and potentially find new subscribers.\nA promotional email sent to subscribers this week highlights “Ted Lasso” in addition to a second season of “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston premiering in September. The email also promoted shows that have yet to premier, such as a comedy starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd called “The Shrink Next Door” and the sci-fi series “Foundation” based on Issac Asimov’s books.\nStill, “Ted Lasso” is a 30-minute comedy with only 10 episodes currently available, and overall, Apple’s library of content still trails far behind rivals.\n“Apple’s not in a position of strength here,” Moffett Nathanson’s Michael Nathanson said. “Although they have some excellent shows, they lack the scale of new releases, tentpole titles and a deep library to really create a large profitable business at this point.”\nPart of a whole\nIt’s hard to figure out how Apple TV+ stacks up to Disney or Netflix in terms of subscribers because Apple doesn’t release stats.\nNetflix has 208 million subscribers around the world. It would also be surprising if Apple can match Disney+’s 100 million subscribers, which it has built since Apple TV+ debuted.\nAnalysts are reluctant to offer estimates, but based on the number of smartphones Apple sells per year, tens of millions of people could have taken the promotional offer for Apple TV. Apple sold 206 million iPhones globally in 2020,according to an IDC estimate, and that doesn’t include the other Apple products that come with a free trial.\nEleven percent of U.S. households with a high-speed internet connection subscribe to Apple TV+, according to Parks Associates survey data. There are about 103 million households with broadband,according to Census data.\nThe percent of subscribers who could end up churning is also foggy. A Moffett Nathanson analysis of survey data suggests 29% percent of Apple TV+ subscribers don’t plan to renew and 41% aren’t sure yet. Only 30% said they planned to continue subscribing to Apple TV+.\nBut Apple never said it planned to take on Netflix, Cason said, so the total number of subscribers may not be that important to the company. He thinks that Apple TV+ is another one of several services designed to get users hooked on iPhones and Apple services, in line with Apple’s overall corporate strategy.\n“Apple wants to get you into their ecosystem through a device purchase, and once you get in there, they go, ‘We’ll give you Apple TV+. We also have Apple Music, podcasts, news, fitness, you can bundle them or you buy them separate,’” Cason said.\nIn fact, that’s how Apple thinks about its subscriber numbers. It said in April that it has 660 million paid subscribers across its services — but that also includes anyone who’s subscribed to an app through App Store billing.\nApple TV+ gives the company commercial-free content it can use to promote new audio and visual standards it builds into its products. For example, when Apple TV+ shows first debuted, they supported a Dolby HDR standard that produced better image quality when viewed through a supported Apple player. The next year, Apple announced that iPhones can film video using Dolby Vision HDR.\nMore recently, Apple launched a feature called spatial audio that works like advanced surround sound when listening on certain Apple headphones. Apple TV+ shows and movies support spatial audio, giving Apple customers the ability to watch a show in it without the company making sure that supported content is available from rivals.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143225790,"gmtCreate":1625797082110,"gmtModify":1631888844954,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","listText":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","text":"Cost of change is high once you are ingrained into their ecosystem.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143225790","repostId":"1140589344","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":823804181,"gmtCreate":1633609082244,"gmtModify":1633609102786,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Customer Service from Amex has been legendary.

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.</p>\n<p>Instead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.</p>\n<p>As a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.</p>\n<p>This “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.</p>\n<p>Both the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.</p>\n<p>Clearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”</p>\n<p>As someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know do<i>not</i>want to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.</p>\n<p>What Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.</p>\n<p>This is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.</p>\n<p>However, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.</p>\n<p><b>Taking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>I’m talking about&nbsp;<b>Nio, Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio back in February.</p>\n<p>The company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.</p>\n<p>The company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies like<b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>), another one of my<b><i>Platinum Growth Club</i></b>Model Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.</p>\n<p>With the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.</p>\n<p>That means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.</p>\n<p>Shares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%.

Priced at $149,990, it was to feature a range of 520 miles, thanks to its innovative 4680 battery cells, 1,100 horsepower and the ability to speed from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds.\nInstead, the company has begun delivering a new Model S Plaid that has only a 390-mile range and 1,020 horsepower, though it still sprints to from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just two seconds.\nAs a way to “sugar coat” its flip flop, Tesla said the Model S Plaid is just as fast as the Model S Plaid Plus and $20,000 cheaper. Humm.\nThis “bait and switch” has some Tesla fans worried, since they had deposits on the Model S Plaid Plus and wanted the innovative 4680 battery cells that Tesla had been touting as the key to longer range and more power. Essentially, the 4680 battery cells were the latest great Tesla development, since they were the first batteries to also be a structural component that supposedly allowed Tesla to lower the weight of its vehicles.\nBoth the company’s Austin and Berlin manufacturing plants now under construction are supposed to also be making the 4680 batteries for new Tesla vehicles. If there is a problem with the engineering associated with utilizing the 4680 batteries or making them a structural component, then Tesla has grossly miscalculated, which is now worrying investors.\nClearly something happened to delay the 4680 batteries that were supposed to provide Tesla with a competitive and engineering edge. For Tesla’s sake, I hope they figure out the problems associated with their much hyped 4680 battery cells, otherwise concerns about its two new manufacturing plants will emerge, as well as the stock losing more of its “mojo.”\nAs someone who owns more than a few high-performance vehicles, I can tell you that the engineering geeks I know donotwant to get a new Model S Plaid instead of a Model S Plaid Plus and will likely ask for their deposits back.\nWhat Tesla did is like Ferrari or Porsche telling its customers that one of their much-hyped new performance models is now not being sold because the base model was just as good! Car fanatics, like myself, like the latest and greatest engineering tidbits, so we would rather cancel our orders versus settle for a base model.\nThe good news for Tesla is that its China sales in May resurged to 21,936, up sharply from 11,671 in April. The company’s sales tend to spike at the end of each quarter. For example, Tesla sold 35,478 vehicles in China in March, which was the strongest month ever in China.\nThis is raising expectations for very strong China sales in June, especially now that the Model Y is being manufactured in Shanghai. Interestingly, since most Chinese Teslas are now made with iron phosphate batteries, these vehicles have lower range than its lithium cobalt vehicles, but its iron phosphate vehicles are cheaper and now increasingly being exported to Europe.\nHowever, I’m convinced another electric vehicle (EV) company will eventually displace Tesla as the biggest manufacturer of EVs in China.\nTaking Advantage of the EV Revolution’s Profit Potential\nI’m talking about Nio, Inc.(NYSE:NIO). The reality is that this company is on the verge of dominating the EV market in China and Hong Kong. It’s why I put NIO on myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio back in February.\nThe company boasts that it is the “next-generation car company,” as it designs and manufactures electric vehicles that utilize the latest technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI). NIO currently offers an electric seven-seater SUV (ES8) and a five-seater electric SUV (ES6) and recently introduced an attractive electric sedan (ET7). Its vehicles utilize NOMI, an in-vehicle artificial intelligence assistant.\nThe company is also partnering with cutting-edge chip companies likeNVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA), another one of myPlatinum Growth ClubModel Portfolio stocks. NIO plans to use the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip for its electric vehicles that will provide autonomous driving capabilities. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-powered supercomputer, which is being called Adam, will be launched in the ET7 sedan in China in 2022. Announcements like this are very positive, so NIO has been stealing some of Tesla’s thunder lately.\nNow, it’s important to note that NIO was bailed out by the Chinese government. Last year, the Chinese government injected $1 billion and now has a 24% ownership in the company. The reality is that China wants to dominate at least five major industries by 2025, and NIO is now its ticket to dominate EV manufacturing.\nWith the backing of the Chinese government, some Wall Street firms are eager to help NIO by issuing new debt or equity. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if NIO surpasses Tesla, which is currently number-two in China, for market share in the upcoming years.\nThat means, if you missed Tesla’s parabolic run like I did, NIO is essentially giving us a “second chance” to make money in a potentially explosive electric vehicle company.\nShares of NIO climbed nearly 13% since the company’s June 4 announcement of its May delivery report and positive analyst comments, while Tesla shares rose almost 3%. First, NIO revealed that the global chip shortage is starting to take a toll on its business. NIO only delivered 6,711 vehicles in May, or a 5.5% decline from April’s deliveries. Company management noted that deliveries were “adversely impacted for several days due to the volatility of semiconductor supply and certain logistical adjustments.”\nInterestingly, despite the month-to-month dip, NIO’s deliveries were still up 95.3% year-over-year. Strong demand in China even inspired a Citigroup analyst to upgrade NIO to a buy rating, as he expects demand to accelerate in the coming months.\nIn other words, NIO represents thecrème de la crèmeof EV stocks right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":146525906,"gmtCreate":1626092646705,"gmtModify":1631888844943,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A change in the international tax rules to favour big markets","listText":"A change in the international tax rules to favour big markets","text":"A change in the international tax rules to favour big markets","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/146525906","repostId":"1162001323","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143259630,"gmtCreate":1625797233520,"gmtModify":1631888844948,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That is a very nice gesture.","listText":"That is a very nice gesture.","text":"That is a very nice gesture.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143259630","repostId":"1137658325","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137658325","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625786881,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137658325?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-09 07:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft will give employees a $1,500 bonus for their efforts during the pandemic","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137658325","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nMicrosoft will spend around $200 million on bonuses it will disburse to many employees i","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nMicrosoft will spend around $200 million on bonuses it will disburse to many employees in the U.S. and abroad.\nThe software company also gave out extra vacation days earlier this year.\n\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/08/microsoft-will-give-employees-a-1500-bonus-for-pandemic-efforts.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;

Look at what happene","content":"<p>Want to know how sensitive investors are to tiny differences in interest rates? Look at what happened after the Federal Reserve decided June 16 to raise&nbsp;the rate it pays on its overnight reverse repurchase facility to 0.05% from 0.00%.&nbsp;You’d need&nbsp;1,387 years to double your money at that puny rate. Still, it was enough to draw in $756 billion in funds on June 17, a 45% increase from when the Fed was paying a flat zero.</p>\n<p>That’s “just another affirmation of the glut of cash seeking any positive return,”&nbsp;Jonathan Cohn, a strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, told Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>The massive flows of short-term money are mostly invisible to the general public, but they’re vital to big players such as money market mutual funds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giant companies&nbsp;in government conservatorship whose purchases of mortgage loans affect rates for homebuyers. Fannie, Freddie, and the money funds are believed to be among the big players that poured their spare cash into the Fed’s&nbsp;reverse repurchase facility—a kind of overnight parking lot for money—on June 17.</p>\n<p>There are differences of opinion over whether the Fed’s rate increase was necessary or wise. Zoltan Pozsar, the global head of short-term interest rate strategy for Credit Suisse, says the hike—as small as it might seem to a layperson—was too big. “I was arguing that there is no need to adjust anything,” Pozsar says. For the big players that are taking advantage of the Fed’s facility, he says, “It’s like Christmastime in the middle of summer.”</p>\n<p>Pozsar argues that the previous rate of zero was high enough because it ensured that the federal funds rate would not fall below the Fed’s target range of&nbsp;zero to 0.25%:&nbsp;Presumably&nbsp;no bank&nbsp;would lend federal funds at less than zero if it&nbsp;could earn zero&nbsp;by stashing money at the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility. Raising the overnight reverse repurchase rate to 0.05%, Pozsar says, makes it too much of a lure for money. “They basically turned an innocent facility that was serving as a floor to something more menacing that’s sucking money out of the system,” he says.</p>\n<p>Not everyone sees things&nbsp;that way.

Look at what happened after the Federal Reserve decided June 16 to raise the rate it pays on its overnight reverse repurchase facility to 0.05% from 0.00%. You’d need 1,387 years to double your money at that puny rate. Still, it was enough to draw in $756 billion in funds on June 17, a 45% increase from when the Fed was paying a flat zero.\nThat’s “just another affirmation of the glut of cash seeking any positive return,” Jonathan Cohn, a strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, told Bloomberg.\nThe massive flows of short-term money are mostly invisible to the general public, but they’re vital to big players such as money market mutual funds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giant companies in government conservatorship whose purchases of mortgage loans affect rates for homebuyers. Fannie, Freddie, and the money funds are believed to be among the big players that poured their spare cash into the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility—a kind of overnight parking lot for money—on June 17.\nThere are differences of opinion over whether the Fed’s rate increase was necessary or wise. Zoltan Pozsar, the global head of short-term interest rate strategy for Credit Suisse, says the hike—as small as it might seem to a layperson—was too big. “I was arguing that there is no need to adjust anything,” Pozsar says. For the big players that are taking advantage of the Fed’s facility, he says, “It’s like Christmastime in the middle of summer.”\nPozsar argues that the previous rate of zero was high enough because it ensured that the federal funds rate would not fall below the Fed’s target range of zero to 0.25%: Presumably no bank would lend federal funds at less than zero if it could earn zero by stashing money at the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility. Raising the overnight reverse repurchase rate to 0.05%, Pozsar says, makes it too much of a lure for money. “They basically turned an innocent facility that was serving as a floor to something more menacing that’s sucking money out of the system,” he says.\nNot everyone sees things that way. The rate hike certainly made life easier for money funds, which strive not to “break the buck”—that is, give investors back less money than they put in. It was hard to meet that commitment when the funds were earning zero and had to cover salaries and other expenses.\nThe fear that the Fed’s facility will suck too much money out of the banking system (which Iwrote aboutlast week) is theoretical for now because banks are actually trying to shed deposits for various reasons, including regulations that make it costly for them to take in deposits and stash the money in Treasury securities or reserves at the Fed. If banks did decide they were losing too much in deposits to the Fed, they could simply raise deposit rates and pull the money back.\nLorie Logan, an executive vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who runs the bank’s trading desk, said in an April 15speechthat fears that the overnight reverse repurchase facility would suck too much money from the financial system “have not materialized in the intervening years, even through various periods of market stress.”\nMeanwhile, anyone stashing $1 billion in the facility can look forward to taking out $2 billion—in the year 3,408.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165233486,"gmtCreate":1624145485745,"gmtModify":1631888844965,"author":{"id":"3562811381335198","authorId":"3562811381335198","name":"TkLm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562811381335198","authorIdStr":"3562811381335198"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/165233486","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

The ease of shopping and the wide distribution of mobile devices made online shopping popular even before COVID-19 emerged.

As people lost their jobs because of COVID-19 and remote working became the new standard, Shopify’s merchant platform gained in popularity, too. The pandemic also helped shift a lot of purchasing power online as retail stores and small businesses shut their doors. Shopify benefited from these unfortunate trends by experiencing a surge in revenues as more retailers built online stores and processed transactions through Shopify. Shopify’s revenues surged 86% to $2.9b in FY 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47be367ae30fc395bd0cf9f998f5efc0\" tg-width=\"1106\" tg-height=\"574\"><span>(Source:Shopify)</span></p>\n<p>Shopify’s revenues can be broken down into two parts, subscriptions and merchant solutions.

Shopify is on its way to becoming a $5b annual revenue company and its fulfillment center strategy provides fertile ground for stock price appreciation. Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)should be worried.\nWhy Shopify is a strong buy\nShopify enables people to start an online business relatively fast and with very little cost. Itse-commerce platform offers a suite of integrated products and apps that includes marketing functionality, payment processing and customer engagement tools. Shopify’s core services are paid for on a subscription basis with the most basic plan starting at $29-month.\n(Source: Shopify)\nThee-commerce market is booming, not just because of the pandemic. The ease of shopping and the wide distribution of mobile devices made online shopping popular even before COVID-19 emerged. Globale-commerce sales are expected to rise in the future with some estimates calling for global online sales of $4.9 trillion in 2021... with sales growing 30% to $6.4 trillion by 2024.\n(Source:Oberlo)\nOnline sales are not only expected to grow in absolute terms but also relatively: E-Commerce is taking an ever-growing share of retail sales, a trend that accelerated during the 2020 pandemic year. Thee-commerce share of retail sales in 2020 was 18% and is projected to grow to 21.8% by 2024.\n(Source:Oberlo)\nGrowth ine-commerce and merchandise volumes are not dependent on one particular category either. People buy everything from fashion items to personal care products online. According to Hootsuite’sDigital 2021 Global Overview Report, money spent on travel and accommodation cratered 51% due to the pandemic but all other categories grew sales by at least 18% Y/Y.\n(Source: Digital 2021Global Overview Report)\nShopify also saw a year of revenue acceleration during the pandemic… just like Amazon did. As people lost their jobs because of COVID-19 and remote working became the new standard, Shopify’s merchant platform gained in popularity, too. The pandemic also helped shift a lot of purchasing power online as retail stores and small businesses shut their doors. Shopify benefited from these unfortunate trends by experiencing a surge in revenues as more retailers built online stores and processed transactions through Shopify. Shopify’s revenues surged 86% to $2.9b in FY 2020.\n(Source:Shopify)\nShopify’s revenues can be broken down into two parts, subscriptions and merchant solutions. Subscriptions include the payments for monthly plans and merchant solutions include additional costs for doing business through Shopify, such as payment processing fees and costs associated with Shopify Shipping and point-of-sale terminals.
