Meissen was able to play around on social media by making himself a victim of a greater injustice than the brutal scams he enacted on others.</p>\n<p>The Strategy: On Nov. 8, 2016, Meissenn pleaded guilty to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and one count of tax evasion in connection to his grand scheme. A plea of not guilty would have been ridiculous — not with the wealth of evidence stacked against him.</p>\n<p>Starting in 2009, Meissenn and six accomplices (including two unscrupulous lawyers) orchestrated a seven-year pump-and-dump attack against vulnerable investors to buy shares in penny stock companies, which were mostly shell companies that fell under their control.</p>\n<p>This gang unleashed an endless series of telephone calls and emails that bombarded the investors with grand promises of extraordinary returns on investments, while dishonest press releases went across the Internet with wild misrepresentations of the companies’ activities.

When the prices reached inflated zeniths, the miscreants quickly cashed out and laughed over their gains while their investors were left with worthless stocks and no hope of recovering their losses. By the time the feds moved in during the summer of 2016, more than 12,000 investors collectively lost nearly $19 million.</p>\n<p>Between 2011 and 2015, Meissenn accumulated roughly approximately $4.4 million from the scheme, but rather than deposit the money into his bank account he diverted most of his ill-gotten gains into an attorney’s trust account. The attorney was then directed to either wire funds or send checks to Meissenn — and none of this money was declared on his income taxes. When the Internal Revenue Service finally figured out what he pulled, Meissenn had tiptoed away from paying $1.5 million in federal income taxes.</p>\n<p>A declaration of innocence in the face of this evidence was untenable, Meissenn realized, but cooperating with guilty pleas was not a happier solution. He faced up to 20 years behind bars for accepting guilt on the conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud charge and a maximum of five years for the tax evasion count.</p>\n<p>But Meissenn had a curious talent for hitting a cosmic reset button that changed his situation when change was needed.</p>\n<p>The American Adventure: Christian Meissenn only existed in America — in his native Bulgaria, he was Christian Levon Nigohossian. In 1987, the 15-year-old Nigohossian and his mother fled their impoverished country and a miserable domestic life under his abusive father for a better opportunity across the Atlantic.</p>\n<p>He would later claim that his mother worked very long hours to support them, which distorted their relationship — he recalled their relationship was “more a friendship than a parental one.”</p>\n<p>He may or may not have fallen into juvenile delinquency. An unpublished autobiographical novel called “Raised by Wolves” offers a colorful, Martin Scorsese-style coming-of-age tale with street gangs and petty crime, but given his shaky acquaintance with the truth it is hard to discern where boisterous tales replaces less-than-entertaining facts. Still, another meme on his Instagram page asked male viewers to “Be the Man You Needed as a Boy,” a hint that his youthful years went awry without paternal guidance.</p>\n<p>Nigohossian found his way into the broker-dealer world in the mid-1990s and began to claim executive positions in sketchy companies. He was cited as treasurer and secretary of The Minneapolis Company and president of Speed of Thought Trading Corp. and GIT Securities. Most of these companies were expelled from their industry by FINRA, which also barred Nigohossian from working as a broker.</p>\n<p>Somewhere along the way, Nigohossian jettisoned his surname for Meissenn. He would call himself Christian Mason and Christopher Mason in his penny stock scheme and he erased all traces of his Eastern European roots from his voice, speaking English with a non-regional American accent. He also found his way to Connecticut, where he registered a skein of intriguing business names with the state, including Bubble’s Lounge and Pip Stop Trading without actually setting up a business.</p>\n<p>In September 2013, the Connecticut Department of Banking issued a cease-and-desist order after determining Meissenn and his business cronies sold unregistered securities for six companies in violation of state law. He was also accused of violating state law by “inducing investors who previously bought securities issued by one or more of the referenced entities to swap their shares at a premium for different securities, promising profitability but not disclosing critical information on the entity, the involvement of Meissenn in the entity’s operations and the impact of dilution.”</p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, Meissen carried on and in 2017 he claimed to hold the rights to the Atari Games trademark and was “rebuilding the brand in a brand new entity.” This claim came as a surprise to Atari Interactive, which filed a complaint with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Incredibly, this occurred while Meissenn was awaiting sentencing for his penny stock swindles.</p>\n<p>The Ultimate Death Sentence: Meissenn was free on bail after pleading guilty to his penny stock chicanery, but his original sentencing date of Jan. 31, 2017, wound up being postponed until Nov. 30, 2018, due to the aggressive work of his attorney, Cody N. Guarnieri, in turning Meissenn from a predator into a victim.</p>\n<p>Guarnieri disclosed during the sentencing that Meissenn was a patient at Yale New Haven Hospital for two rare diseases: Erdheim-Chester disease, a slow-metastasizing blood cancer, and retroperitoneal fibrosis, an inflammatory disorder that creates abnormal fiber-like tissue in the abdomen. Guarnieri informed the court that Meissenn’s condition was terminal and the chemotherapy treatment he was receiving would only slow the diseases but not cure him.</p>\n<p>Even worse, Guarnieri argued, was whether Meissenn could receive proper medical care while in prison — without the proper care, the attorney insisted, Meissenn would be assured that his prison term would be a death sentence.</p>\n<p>Amazingly, Guarnieri was able to recruit prosecutors to his side, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Avi M. Perry informing the court that Meissenn only had between 1½ and 5 years to live.</p>\n<p>Meissenn’s wife Kerry was brought forth to close the sale, recounting the tragedy in watching her husband’s rapidly deteriorating health, including decreased mobility, fraying memory, and shaking and vomiting from the chemotherapy treatments.</p>\n<p>“He is definitely not the man I married,” she said, begging the court to allow her husband to serve his sentence under house arrest without prison time.</p>\n<p>U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer listened to the presentations in his New Haven court and spoke calmly about the case before him. He did not absolve Meissenn, branding him as a “brazen criminal” who became wealthy by “ripping people off.” Meyer also pointed to the health issues that burdened the “staggering number of victims” of Meissenn’s pump and dump scam.</p>\n<p>And then, Meyer embraced the argument for leniency.</p>\n<p>“The victims come to court and say they want justice done and don’t even care about the how,” Meyer said. “I look at your case, and I have to wonder whether some providential force — I’m sure this has crossed your mind many times — has essentially decided to send you something much worse than this court could ever do.</p>\n<p>“I believe you should serve some prison time,” Meyer added, “but I don’t believe it should be so much you don’t see your children again.”</p>\n<p>Meyer sentenced Meissenn to three months in prison followed by three years of supervised release under house arrest in the comfort of his Suffield, Connecticut, residence. He also ordered Meissenn to pay restitution of $5.3 million to the victims and $1.5 million to the IRS for unpaid taxes, although he acknowledged it was unlikely Meissenn would ever be able to fulfill that requirement.</p>\n<p>Meissenn entered prison in January 2019 and was out in April 2019. In comparison, two of Meissenn’s collaborators each received prison terms of six years months while two others received seven-year sentences. The two attorneys involved in the scam each received three-year sentences.</p>\n<p>Denouement: While Meissenn apologized for his actions during his sentencing, his life outside of his brief stretch behind bars was remarkably free from remorse.</p>\n<p>Meissenn said he authored the autobiographical “Raised By Wolves” and offered graphic novel illustrative glimpses of his story on Instagram of its content. He also claimed a film version was in the works starring Danny Aiello, but there is no evidence that the Oscar-nominated actor was ever attached to this project. Aiello died in December 2019 and Meissenn ceased trumpeting a film production after he passed away.</p>\n<p>Meissenn started a website called Humor the Tumor to find a light spot in chemotherapy treatment but abandoned it after a few dismal attempts at levity. He filled his Instagram page with scatological angry memes and photographs of himself with his hair growing to flowing lengths — in one video post, he blamed chemotherapy for hair loss and then credited it for allowing his tresses to return with a vengeance.</p>\n<p>One Instagram image from September 2020 showed Meissenn’s hand on the steering wheel of his Lincoln Town Car. Meissenn was driving that vehicle on Aug. 16, 2021, when he was killed in a multiple-vehicle crash on I-95 in lower Connecticut. He was 49 years old at the time of his death and roughly 80 miles away from where he was supposed to have been under house arrest.</p>\n<p>In the month before his court sentencing, Meissenn posted a photograph of himself on Instagram lying on a pillow featuring the message “People are f**king scumbags” while holding up a book titled “How to Be Your Own Best Friend.” Perhaps this photo encapsulated everything that was wrong with Meissenn — the pillow’s contemptuous message was mirrored in the venality of his stock swindles, and the book he displayed offered cruel evidence that he stupidly self-identified as his own best friend when, in reality, he was really his own worst enemy.</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He was 49 years old at the time of his death and roughly 80 miles away from where he was supposed to have been under house arrest.\nIn the month before his court sentencing, Meissenn posted a photograph of himself on Instagram lying on a pillow featuring the message “People are f**king scumbags” while holding up a book titled “How to Be Your Own Best Friend.” Perhaps this photo encapsulated everything that was wrong with Meissenn — the pillow’s contemptuous message was mirrored in the venality of his stock swindles, and the book he displayed offered cruel evidence that he stupidly self-identified as his own best friend when, in reality, he was really his own worst enemy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":695,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":840342296,"gmtCreate":1635597526716,"gmtModify":1635597526791,"author":{"id":"3569584365175326","authorId":"3569584365175326","name":"Metawee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b669d2ba934427a56ffb301675da292","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569584365175326","idStr":"3569584365175326"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>ทแกรา้","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HST.SI\">$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$</a>ทแกรา้","text":"$Lion-OCBC Sec HSTECH S$(HST.SI)$ทแกรา้","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1683d6617cca0a4eec5eb45583d1e39e","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/840342296","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":598,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":840346159,"gmtCreate":1635597337778,"gmtModify":1635597337778,"author":{"id":"3569584365175326","authorId":"3569584365175326","name":"Metawee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b669d2ba934427a56ffb301675da292","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3569584365175326","idStr":"3569584365175326"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ทิแียท","listText":"ทิแียท","text":"ทิแียท","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/840346159","repostId":"850756569","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":850756569,"gmtCreate":1634631211448,"gmtModify":1635853120757,"author":{"id":"36984908995200","authorId":"36984908995200","name":"小虎活动","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e396d03155923b283948d2dec9191f8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"36984908995200","idStr":"36984908995200"},"themes":[],"title":"[Halloween Game] Trade or Treat!","htmlText":"Hello, dear Tigers!&nbsp; Happy&nbsp;Halloween!&nbsp;🎃🎃🎃&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"https://www.tigerbrokers.com.sg/activity/market/2021/halloween/?lang=en_US#/\" target=\"_blank\">Tap&nbsp;here&nbsp;to&nbsp;play the Halloween game,&nbsp;and&nbsp;you&nbsp;stand&nbsp;a&nbsp;chance&nbsp;to win various rewards!&nbsp;</a> Promotion Period: October 27, 2021 18:00 - November 9, 2021 18:00 (SGT) 1.&nbsp;How to Participate?

After all, his claim to notoriety was ruining the lives of thousands of people who saw their money disappear into his warped fantasy world of promised penny stock glories.</p>\n<p>The irony of that meme posting was that it happened at all. Meissen was able to play around on social media by making himself a victim of a greater injustice than the brutal scams he enacted on others.</p>\n<p>The Strategy: On Nov. 8, 2016, Meissenn pleaded guilty to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and one count of tax evasion in connection to his grand scheme. A plea of not guilty would have been ridiculous — not with the wealth of evidence stacked against him.</p>\n<p>Starting in 2009, Meissenn and six accomplices (including two unscrupulous lawyers) orchestrated a seven-year pump-and-dump attack against vulnerable investors to buy shares in penny stock companies, which were mostly shell companies that fell under their control.</p>\n<p>This gang unleashed an endless series of telephone calls and emails that bombarded the investors with grand promises of extraordinary returns on investments, while dishonest press releases went across the Internet with wild misrepresentations of the companies’ activities. The attorneys signed phony opinion letters offering false assurances to securities transfer agents and prospective investors that they reviewed corporate records and filings for the issuing companies and were satisfied with the adequacy of the companies’ public disclosures.</p>\n<p>Meissenn and his gang gleefully reeled-in victims who naively sank money into the worthless stocks, bringing their prices to heights where they never belonged. When the prices reached inflated zeniths, the miscreants quickly cashed out and laughed over their gains while their investors were left with worthless stocks and no hope of recovering their losses. By the time the feds moved in during the summer of 2016, more than 12,000 investors collectively lost nearly $19 million.</p>\n<p>Between 2011 and 2015, Meissenn accumulated roughly approximately $4.4 million from the scheme, but rather than deposit the money into his bank account he diverted most of his ill-gotten gains into an attorney’s trust account. The attorney was then directed to either wire funds or send checks to Meissenn — and none of this money was declared on his income taxes. When the Internal Revenue Service finally figured out what he pulled, Meissenn had tiptoed away from paying $1.5 million in federal income taxes.</p>\n<p>A declaration of innocence in the face of this evidence was untenable, Meissenn realized, but cooperating with guilty pleas was not a happier solution. He faced up to 20 years behind bars for accepting guilt on the conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud charge and a maximum of five years for the tax evasion count.</p>\n<p>But Meissenn had a curious talent for hitting a cosmic reset button that changed his situation when change was needed.</p>\n<p>The American Adventure: Christian Meissenn only existed in America — in his native Bulgaria, he was Christian Levon Nigohossian. In 1987, the 15-year-old Nigohossian and his mother fled their impoverished country and a miserable domestic life under his abusive father for a better opportunity across the Atlantic.</p>\n<p>He would later claim that his mother worked very long hours to support them, which distorted their relationship — he recalled their relationship was “more a friendship than a parental one.”</p>\n<p>He may or may not have fallen into juvenile delinquency. An unpublished autobiographical novel called “Raised by Wolves” offers a colorful, Martin Scorsese-style coming-of-age tale with street gangs and petty crime, but given his shaky acquaintance with the truth it is hard to discern where boisterous tales replaces less-than-entertaining facts. Still, another meme on his Instagram page asked male viewers to “Be the Man You Needed as a Boy,” a hint that his youthful years went awry without paternal guidance.</p>\n<p>Nigohossian found his way into the broker-dealer world in the mid-1990s and began to claim executive positions in sketchy companies. He was cited as treasurer and secretary of The Minneapolis Company and president of Speed of Thought Trading Corp. and GIT Securities. Most of these companies were expelled from their industry by FINRA, which also barred Nigohossian from working as a broker.</p>\n<p>Somewhere along the way, Nigohossian jettisoned his surname for Meissenn. He would call himself Christian Mason and Christopher Mason in his penny stock scheme and he erased all traces of his Eastern European roots from his voice, speaking English with a non-regional American accent. He also found his way to Connecticut, where he registered a skein of intriguing business names with the state, including Bubble’s Lounge and Pip Stop Trading without actually setting up a business.</p>\n<p>In September 2013, the Connecticut Department of Banking issued a cease-and-desist order after determining Meissenn and his business cronies sold unregistered securities for six companies in violation of state law. He was also accused of violating state law by “inducing investors who previously bought securities issued by one or more of the referenced entities to swap their shares at a premium for different securities, promising profitability but not disclosing critical information on the entity, the involvement of Meissenn in the entity’s operations and the impact of dilution.”</p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, Meissen carried on and in 2017 he claimed to hold the rights to the Atari Games trademark and was “rebuilding the brand in a brand new entity.” This claim came as a surprise to Atari Interactive, which filed a complaint with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Incredibly, this occurred while Meissenn was awaiting sentencing for his penny stock swindles.</p>\n<p>The Ultimate Death Sentence: Meissenn was free on bail after pleading guilty to his penny stock chicanery, but his original sentencing date of Jan. 31, 2017, wound up being postponed until Nov. 30, 2018, due to the aggressive work of his attorney, Cody N. Guarnieri, in turning Meissenn from a predator into a victim.</p>\n<p>Guarnieri disclosed during the sentencing that Meissenn was a patient at Yale New Haven Hospital for two rare diseases: Erdheim-Chester disease, a slow-metastasizing blood cancer, and retroperitoneal fibrosis, an inflammatory disorder that creates abnormal fiber-like tissue in the abdomen. Guarnieri informed the court that Meissenn’s condition was terminal and the chemotherapy treatment he was receiving would only slow the diseases but not cure him.</p>\n<p>Even worse, Guarnieri argued, was whether Meissenn could receive proper medical care while in prison — without the proper care, the attorney insisted, Meissenn would be assured that his prison term would be a death sentence.</p>\n<p>Amazingly, Guarnieri was able to recruit prosecutors to his side, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Avi M. Perry informing the court that Meissenn only had between 1½ and 5 years to live.</p>\n<p>Meissenn’s wife Kerry was brought forth to close the sale, recounting the tragedy in watching her husband’s rapidly deteriorating health, including decreased mobility, fraying memory, and shaking and vomiting from the chemotherapy treatments.</p>\n<p>“He is definitely not the man I married,” she said, begging the court to allow her husband to serve his sentence under house arrest without prison time.</p>\n<p>U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer listened to the presentations in his New Haven court and spoke calmly about the case before him. He did not absolve Meissenn, branding him as a “brazen criminal” who became wealthy by “ripping people off.” Meyer also pointed to the health issues that burdened the “staggering number of victims” of Meissenn’s pump and dump scam.</p>\n<p>And then, Meyer embraced the argument for leniency.</p>\n<p>“The victims come to court and say they want justice done and don’t even care about the how,” Meyer said. “I look at your case, and I have to wonder whether some providential force — I’m sure this has crossed your mind many times — has essentially decided to send you something much worse than this court could ever do.</p>\n<p>“I believe you should serve some prison time,” Meyer added, “but I don’t believe it should be so much you don’t see your children again.”</p>\n<p>Meyer sentenced Meissenn to three months in prison followed by three years of supervised release under house arrest in the comfort of his Suffield, Connecticut, residence. He also ordered Meissenn to pay restitution of $5.3 million to the victims and $1.5 million to the IRS for unpaid taxes, although he acknowledged it was unlikely Meissenn would ever be able to fulfill that requirement.</p>\n<p>Meissenn entered prison in January 2019 and was out in April 2019. In comparison, two of Meissenn’s collaborators each received prison terms of six years months while two others received seven-year sentences. The two attorneys involved in the scam each received three-year sentences.</p>\n<p>Denouement: While Meissenn apologized for his actions during his sentencing, his life outside of his brief stretch behind bars was remarkably free from remorse.</p>\n<p>Meissenn said he authored the autobiographical “Raised By Wolves” and offered graphic novel illustrative glimpses of his story on Instagram of its content. He also claimed a film version was in the works starring Danny Aiello, but there is no evidence that the Oscar-nominated actor was ever attached to this project. Aiello died in December 2019 and Meissenn ceased trumpeting a film production after he passed away.</p>\n<p>Meissenn started a website called Humor the Tumor to find a light spot in chemotherapy treatment but abandoned it after a few dismal attempts at levity. He filled his Instagram page with scatological angry memes and photographs of himself with his hair growing to flowing lengths — in one video post, he blamed chemotherapy for hair loss and then credited it for allowing his tresses to return with a vengeance.</p>\n<p>One Instagram image from September 2020 showed Meissenn’s hand on the steering wheel of his Lincoln Town Car. Meissenn was driving that vehicle on Aug. 16, 2021, when he was killed in a multiple-vehicle crash on I-95 in lower Connecticut. He was 49 years old at the time of his death and roughly 80 miles away from where he was supposed to have been under house arrest.</p>\n<p>In the month before his court sentencing, Meissenn posted a photograph of himself on Instagram lying on a pillow featuring the message “People are f**king scumbags” while holding up a book titled “How to Be Your Own Best Friend.” Perhaps this photo encapsulated everything that was wrong with Meissenn — the pillow’s contemptuous message was mirrored in the venality of his stock swindles, and the book he displayed offered cruel evidence that he stupidly self-identified as his own best friend when, in reality, he was really his own worst enemy.</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

After all, his claim to notoriety was ruining the lives of thousands of people who saw their money disappear into his warped fantasy world of promised penny stock glories.\nThe irony of that meme posting was that it happened at all. Meissen was able to play around on social media by making himself a victim of a greater injustice than the brutal scams he enacted on others.\nThe Strategy: On Nov. 8, 2016, Meissenn pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and one count of tax evasion in connection to his grand scheme. A plea of not guilty would have been ridiculous — not with the wealth of evidence stacked against him.\nStarting in 2009, Meissenn and six accomplices (including two unscrupulous lawyers) orchestrated a seven-year pump-and-dump attack against vulnerable investors to buy shares in penny stock companies, which were mostly shell companies that fell under their control.\nThis gang unleashed an endless series of telephone calls and emails that bombarded the investors with grand promises of extraordinary returns on investments, while dishonest press releases went across the Internet with wild misrepresentations of the companies’ activities. The attorneys signed phony opinion letters offering false assurances to securities transfer agents and prospective investors that they reviewed corporate records and filings for the issuing companies and were satisfied with the adequacy of the companies’ public disclosures.\nMeissenn and his gang gleefully reeled-in victims who naively sank money into the worthless stocks, bringing their prices to heights where they never belonged. When the prices reached inflated zeniths, the miscreants quickly cashed out and laughed over their gains while their investors were left with worthless stocks and no hope of recovering their losses. By the time the feds moved in during the summer of 2016, more than 12,000 investors collectively lost nearly $19 million.\nBetween 2011 and 2015, Meissenn accumulated roughly approximately $4.4 million from the scheme, but rather than deposit the money into his bank account he diverted most of his ill-gotten gains into an attorney’s trust account. The attorney was then directed to either wire funds or send checks to Meissenn — and none of this money was declared on his income taxes. When the Internal Revenue Service finally figured out what he pulled, Meissenn had tiptoed away from paying $1.5 million in federal income taxes.\nA declaration of innocence in the face of this evidence was untenable, Meissenn realized, but cooperating with guilty pleas was not a happier solution. He faced up to 20 years behind bars for accepting guilt on the conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud charge and a maximum of five years for the tax evasion count.\nBut Meissenn had a curious talent for hitting a cosmic reset button that changed his situation when change was needed.\nThe American Adventure: Christian Meissenn only existed in America — in his native Bulgaria, he was Christian Levon Nigohossian. In 1987, the 15-year-old Nigohossian and his mother fled their impoverished country and a miserable domestic life under his abusive father for a better opportunity across the Atlantic.\nHe would later claim that his mother worked very long hours to support them, which distorted their relationship — he recalled their relationship was “more a friendship than a parental one.”\nHe may or may not have fallen into juvenile delinquency. An unpublished autobiographical novel called “Raised by Wolves” offers a colorful, Martin Scorsese-style coming-of-age tale with street gangs and petty crime, but given his shaky acquaintance with the truth it is hard to discern where boisterous tales replaces less-than-entertaining facts. Still, another meme on his Instagram page asked male viewers to “Be the Man You Needed as a Boy,” a hint that his youthful years went awry without paternal guidance.\nNigohossian found his way into the broker-dealer world in the mid-1990s and began to claim executive positions in sketchy companies. He was cited as treasurer and secretary of The Minneapolis Company and president of Speed of Thought Trading Corp. and GIT Securities. Most of these companies were expelled from their industry by FINRA, which also barred Nigohossian from working as a broker.\nSomewhere along the way, Nigohossian jettisoned his surname for Meissenn. He would call himself Christian Mason and Christopher Mason in his penny stock scheme and he erased all traces of his Eastern European roots from his voice, speaking English with a non-regional American accent. He also found his way to Connecticut, where he registered a skein of intriguing business names with the state, including Bubble’s Lounge and Pip Stop Trading without actually setting up a business.\nIn September 2013, the Connecticut Department of Banking issued a cease-and-desist order after determining Meissenn and his business cronies sold unregistered securities for six companies in violation of state law. He was also accused of violating state law by “inducing investors who previously bought securities issued by one or more of the referenced entities to swap their shares at a premium for different securities, promising profitability but not disclosing critical information on the entity, the involvement of Meissenn in the entity’s operations and the impact of dilution.”\nDespite these setbacks, Meissen carried on and in 2017 he claimed to hold the rights to the Atari Games trademark and was “rebuilding the brand in a brand new entity.” This claim came as a surprise to Atari Interactive, which filed a complaint with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Incredibly, this occurred while Meissenn was awaiting sentencing for his penny stock swindles.\nThe Ultimate Death Sentence: Meissenn was free on bail after pleading guilty to his penny stock chicanery, but his original sentencing date of Jan. 31, 2017, wound up being postponed until Nov. 30, 2018, due to the aggressive work of his attorney, Cody N. Guarnieri, in turning Meissenn from a predator into a victim.\nGuarnieri disclosed during the sentencing that Meissenn was a patient at Yale New Haven Hospital for two rare diseases: Erdheim-Chester disease, a slow-metastasizing blood cancer, and retroperitoneal fibrosis, an inflammatory disorder that creates abnormal fiber-like tissue in the abdomen. Guarnieri informed the court that Meissenn’s condition was terminal and the chemotherapy treatment he was receiving would only slow the diseases but not cure him.\nEven worse, Guarnieri argued, was whether Meissenn could receive proper medical care while in prison — without the proper care, the attorney insisted, Meissenn would be assured that his prison term would be a death sentence.\nAmazingly, Guarnieri was able to recruit prosecutors to his side, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Avi M. Perry informing the court that Meissenn only had between 1½ and 5 years to live.\nMeissenn’s wife Kerry was brought forth to close the sale, recounting the tragedy in watching her husband’s rapidly deteriorating health, including decreased mobility, fraying memory, and shaking and vomiting from the chemotherapy treatments.\n“He is definitely not the man I married,” she said, begging the court to allow her husband to serve his sentence under house arrest without prison time.\nU.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer listened to the presentations in his New Haven court and spoke calmly about the case before him. He did not absolve Meissenn, branding him as a “brazen criminal” who became wealthy by “ripping people off.” Meyer also pointed to the health issues that burdened the “staggering number of victims” of Meissenn’s pump and dump scam.\nAnd then, Meyer embraced the argument for leniency.\n“The victims come to court and say they want justice done and don’t even care about the how,” Meyer said. “I look at your case, and I have to wonder whether some providential force — I’m sure this has crossed your mind many times — has essentially decided to send you something much worse than this court could ever do.\n“I believe you should serve some prison time,” Meyer added, “but I don’t believe it should be so much you don’t see your children again.”\nMeyer sentenced Meissenn to three months in prison followed by three years of supervised release under house arrest in the comfort of his Suffield, Connecticut, residence. He also ordered Meissenn to pay restitution of $5.3 million to the victims and $1.5 million to the IRS for unpaid taxes, although he acknowledged it was unlikely Meissenn would ever be able to fulfill that requirement.\nMeissenn entered prison in January 2019 and was out in April 2019. In comparison, two of Meissenn’s collaborators each received prison terms of six years months while two others received seven-year sentences. The two attorneys involved in the scam each received three-year sentences.\nDenouement: While Meissenn apologized for his actions during his sentencing, his life outside of his brief stretch behind bars was remarkably free from remorse.\nMeissenn said he authored the autobiographical “Raised By Wolves” and offered graphic novel illustrative glimpses of his story on Instagram of its content. He also claimed a film version was in the works starring Danny Aiello, but there is no evidence that the Oscar-nominated actor was ever attached to this project. Aiello died in December 2019 and Meissenn ceased trumpeting a film production after he passed away.\nMeissenn started a website called Humor the Tumor to find a light spot in chemotherapy treatment but abandoned it after a few dismal attempts at levity. He filled his Instagram page with scatological angry memes and photographs of himself with his hair growing to flowing lengths — in one video post, he blamed chemotherapy for hair loss and then credited it for allowing his tresses to return with a vengeance.\nOne Instagram image from September 2020 showed Meissenn’s hand on the steering wheel of his Lincoln Town Car. Meissenn was driving that vehicle on Aug. 16, 2021, when he was killed in a multiple-vehicle crash on I-95 in lower Connecticut. He was 49 years old at the time of his death and roughly 80 miles away from where he was supposed to have been under house arrest.\nIn the month before his court sentencing, Meissenn posted a photograph of himself on Instagram lying on a pillow featuring the message “People are f**king scumbags” while holding up a book titled “How to Be Your Own Best Friend.” Perhaps this photo encapsulated everything that was wrong with Meissenn — the pillow’s contemptuous message was mirrored in the venality of his stock swindles, and the book he displayed offered cruel evidence that he stupidly self-identified as his own best friend when, in reality, he was really his own worst enemy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":695,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":802809409,"gmtCreate":1627743259201,"gmtModify":1633756694033,"author":{"id":"3569584365175326","authorId":"3569584365175326","name":"Metawee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b669d2ba934427a56ffb301675da292","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569584365175326","authorIdStr":"3569584365175326"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/802809409","repostId":"1186334150","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186334150","pubTimestamp":1627713845,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1186334150?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-31 14:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Infrastructure Spending Is on Its Way.

Most of their stocks have already jumped on theprospect of infrastructure spending.</p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> infrastructure play has been overlooked:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFH\">Atlas</a> Technical Consultants(ATCX) provides engineering and design services, inspection and certification of buildings and public works, and other construction-related services. More construction means more plans and designs for Atlas to review. These eventually become finished projects that need annual inspections, paying dividends for years.</p>\n<p>And yet Atlas shares have stalled. At a recent $9, the stock trades for just eight times enterprise value to estimated 2022 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda. That multiple is a significant discount to companies in related inspection businesses, such asMontrose Environmental Group(MEG) andTetra Tech(TTEK), which trade for more than 22 times EV/2022 Ebitda.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19ad62f427fb70a25aa96068bc5d1756\" tg-width=\"442\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">“Right now, part of the valuation discount is due to the debt, but I would say there are companies like Atlas where the debt is appropriate,” says Kevin Silverman, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at small-cap–focused <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STL\">Sterling</a> Partners <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EQR\">Equity</a> Advisors, which owns more than $2 million worth of Atlas stock, accounting for about 2% of its assets under management. “The debt helps equity holders if you have steady profit margins and can use it for growth.”</p>\n<p>And Atlas has substantial opportunities for growth. Beyond the infrastructure-bill boost, Atlas has a long-term strategy of consolidating the fragmented U.S. inspection-services market while reducing its debt levels. Both should increase its appeal to investors and earn it a higher valuation multiple.</p>\n<p>The Austin, Texas–headquartered company went public inearly 2020via a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The deal saddled the company with a convoluted capital structure, including multiple share classes, outstanding warrants, and other complications. That complexity has probably kept some investors away, as has Atlas’ relatively high debt load, which comes to 5.5 times net debt to 2021 Ebitda.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/99bb73a7c212bfed6d0890b8b14fbc15\" tg-width=\"607\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Atlas has reduced that complexity—redeeming its preferred equity, buying out warrants, and increasing the stock’s publicly traded float—and is focused on bringing its net debt below three times Ebitda.</p>\n<p>Atlas is forecast to grow sales 13% this year, to $530 million, with Ebitda up 21%, to $76 million.</p>\n<p>Its customers include state departments of transportation, private building owners, electric and water utilities, airports, schools, hospitals, and more. Its national presence and leading scale helps win and retain marquee projects and big clients, including the U.S. Postal <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCI\">Service</a>, the Environmental Protection Agency, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NWY\">New York</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHCO\">City</a> Housing Authority, Stanford University,Walmart(WMT), and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>(AAPL).</p>\n<p>Atlas earned $64 million in adjusted Ebitda over the past four reported quarters, while it had a net loss of $18 million. As of the end of the first quarter, the company had a backlog of $689 million, or more than 140% of its last 12 months’ revenue of $482 million. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and it’s by far the highest I’ve seen,” Atlas CEO Joe Boyer tells<i>Barron’s</i>.</p>\n<p>About 70% of the company’s revenue comes from work on existing buildings, pipes, roads, and bridges. Those jobs are nondiscretionary: As we’ve tragically learned at times, infrastructure needs to be inspected and brought up to code at regular intervals, no matter what the economic or pandemic situation is.</p>\n<p>The remaining 30% of Atlas’ sales are tied to new construction, which dipped during the pandemic but is nearly back to pre-Covid-19 levels, according to Boyer.</p>\n<p>A long-term trend toward outsourcing services by cities and states, stricter environmental standards, and aging infrastructure in the U.S. have been drivers of Atlas’ organic growth in recent years.</p>\n<p>That trend has been responsible for about half of Atlas’ 20% compound annual growth in sales since 2016, when it was owned by private-equity firm Bernhard Capital Partners. The other avenue for growth has been Atlas’ acquisition strategy.</p>\n<p>“The idea is to find a company in a geography or a service that we don’t dominate in, bring it onto our platform, and cross-sell across our network,” Boyer says.</p>\n<p>Atlas’ sweet spot for acquisition targets is about $5 million to $20 million in Ebitda, The company typically pays four to six times Ebitda in a mix of cash and stock. That makes each deal immediately accretive to earnings.</p>\n<p>As a small and relatively young public company, Atlas gets minimal coverage from Wall Street, but the three analysts who cover the firm are bullish. “We think the company is in end markets that are strong or recovering; they’ve been winning large contracts, and its backlog has been growing,” says <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SF\">Stifel</a> analyst Noelle Dilts. “So, we feel good about the fundamental revenue outlook.”</p>\n<p>She rates Atlas a Buy, with a $14.50 price target, or 11 times her estimate of 2022 Ebitda, which doesn’t include any upside from a potential infrastructure bill.

Most of their stocks have already jumped on theprospect of infrastructure spending.\nBut one infrastructure play has been overlooked:Atlas Technical Consultants(ATCX) provides engineering and design services, inspection and certification of buildings and public works, and other construction-related services. More construction means more plans and designs for Atlas to review. These eventually become finished projects that need annual inspections, paying dividends for years.\nAnd yet Atlas shares have stalled. At a recent $9, the stock trades for just eight times enterprise value to estimated 2022 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda. That multiple is a significant discount to companies in related inspection businesses, such asMontrose Environmental Group(MEG) andTetra Tech(TTEK), which trade for more than 22 times EV/2022 Ebitda.\n“Right now, part of the valuation discount is due to the debt, but I would say there are companies like Atlas where the debt is appropriate,” says Kevin Silverman, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at small-cap–focused Sterling Partners Equity Advisors, which owns more than $2 million worth of Atlas stock, accounting for about 2% of its assets under management. “The debt helps equity holders if you have steady profit margins and can use it for growth.”\nAnd Atlas has substantial opportunities for growth. Beyond the infrastructure-bill boost, Atlas has a long-term strategy of consolidating the fragmented U.S. inspection-services market while reducing its debt levels. Both should increase its appeal to investors and earn it a higher valuation multiple.\nThe Austin, Texas–headquartered company went public inearly 2020via a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The deal saddled the company with a convoluted capital structure, including multiple share classes, outstanding warrants, and other complications. That complexity has probably kept some investors away, as has Atlas’ relatively high debt load, which comes to 5.5 times net debt to 2021 Ebitda.\n\nAtlas has reduced that complexity—redeeming its preferred equity, buying out warrants, and increasing the stock’s publicly traded float—and is focused on bringing its net debt below three times Ebitda.\nAtlas is forecast to grow sales 13% this year, to $530 million, with Ebitda up 21%, to $76 million.\nIts customers include state departments of transportation, private building owners, electric and water utilities, airports, schools, hospitals, and more. Its national presence and leading scale helps win and retain marquee projects and big clients, including the U.S. Postal Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the New York City Housing Authority, Stanford University,Walmart(WMT), andApple(AAPL).\nAtlas earned $64 million in adjusted Ebitda over the past four reported quarters, while it had a net loss of $18 million. As of the end of the first quarter, the company had a backlog of $689 million, or more than 140% of its last 12 months’ revenue of $482 million. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and it’s by far the highest I’ve seen,” Atlas CEO Joe Boyer tellsBarron’s.\nAbout 70% of the company’s revenue comes from work on existing buildings, pipes, roads, and bridges. Those jobs are nondiscretionary: As we’ve tragically learned at times, infrastructure needs to be inspected and brought up to code at regular intervals, no matter what the economic or pandemic situation is.\nThe remaining 30% of Atlas’ sales are tied to new construction, which dipped during the pandemic but is nearly back to pre-Covid-19 levels, according to Boyer.\nA long-term trend toward outsourcing services by cities and states, stricter environmental standards, and aging infrastructure in the U.S. have been drivers of Atlas’ organic growth in recent years.\nThat trend has been responsible for about half of Atlas’ 20% compound annual growth in sales since 2016, when it was owned by private-equity firm Bernhard Capital Partners. The other avenue for growth has been Atlas’ acquisition strategy.\n“The idea is to find a company in a geography or a service that we don’t dominate in, bring it onto our platform, and cross-sell across our network,” Boyer says.\nAtlas’ sweet spot for acquisition targets is about $5 million to $20 million in Ebitda, The company typically pays four to six times Ebitda in a mix of cash and stock. That makes each deal immediately accretive to earnings.\nAs a small and relatively young public company, Atlas gets minimal coverage from Wall Street, but the three analysts who cover the firm are bullish. “We think the company is in end markets that are strong or recovering; they’ve been winning large contracts, and its backlog has been growing,” says Stifel analyst Noelle Dilts. “So, we feel good about the fundamental revenue outlook.”\nShe rates Atlas a Buy, with a $14.50 price target, or 11 times her estimate of 2022 Ebitda, which doesn’t include any upside from a potential infrastructure bill. Using a 15 times Ebitda multiple, Sterling’s Silverman sees shares going to $43 three years from now, as debt paydown continues and earnings rise.\nAtlas’ balance sheet remains a fixer-upper, but the company has the right foundation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805509330,"gmtCreate":1627888338420,"gmtModify":1633755576246,"author":{"id":"3569584365175326","authorId":"3569584365175326","name":"Metawee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b669d2ba934427a56ffb301675da292","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569584365175326","authorIdStr":"3569584365175326"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805509330","repostId":"1170689665","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170689665","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627857540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170689665?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 06:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba,Uber, DraftKings, GM, Roku, EA, ViacomCBS, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170689665","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The parade of second-quarter results continues this week.

Until Tuesday, Goldman Sachs GS, -0.91% restricted its robo-advisory service, Marcus, to people who had at least $10 million to invest.</p>\n<p>Now anyone with at least $1,000 to invest in can access the same trading algorithms that have been used by some of Goldman Sachs’ wealthiest clients for a 0.35% annual advisory fee. But investing experts say there are more costs to consider before jumping on the robo-investing train.</p>\n<p>“Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.</p>\n<p>Although the 35 basis-point price tag is a “loss leader” to Goldman Sachs, he said companies typically make such offers in order to attract clients to cross-sell them banking products.</p>\n<p>“People forget that banks are ultimately in the business of making money,” he said.</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs declined to comment.</p>\n<p>The company is among other major financial-services firms offering digital advisers, including Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab SCHW, +1.03% and startups such as Betterment and Wealthfront.</p>\n<p>Fees for robo advisers can start at around 0.25%, and increase to 1% and above for traditional brokers. A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.</p>\n<p>The median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.</p>\n<p>Robo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.</p>\n<p><b>Robo investing as a self-driving car</b></p>\n<p>Consumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.</p>\n<p>So what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.</p>\n<p>You put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.</p>\n<p>Robo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.</p>\n<p>There are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.</p>\n<p>And rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.</p>\n<p>Cynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money.

In 2015, MarketWatch asked four prominent robo advisers and four of the traditional, flesh-and-blood variety to construct portfolios for a hypothetical 35-year-old investor with $40,000 to invest.</p>\n<p>The results were, perhaps, surprising for critics of robo advisers. The robots’ suggestions were “not massively different” from what the human advisers proposed, said Michael Kitces, Pinnacle Advisory Group’s research director, after reviewing the results.</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Goldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?</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\">\nGoldman Sachs is joining the robo-investing party — should you?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-19 19:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page><strong>Marketwatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-is-joining-the-robo-investing-party-should-you-11613658128?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161529893","content_text":"‘Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\n\nRobo investing has become increasingly ubiquitous on practically every brokerage platform. Until Tuesday, Goldman Sachs GS, -0.91% restricted its robo-advisory service, Marcus, to people who had at least $10 million to invest.\nNow anyone with at least $1,000 to invest in can access the same trading algorithms that have been used by some of Goldman Sachs’ wealthiest clients for a 0.35% annual advisory fee. But investing experts say there are more costs to consider before jumping on the robo-investing train.\n“Much like in Vegas, the house generally wins,” said Vance Barse, a San Diego, California-based financial advisor who runs a company called Your Dedicated Fiduciary.\nAlthough the 35 basis-point price tag is a “loss leader” to Goldman Sachs, he said companies typically make such offers in order to attract clients to cross-sell them banking products.\n“People forget that banks are ultimately in the business of making money,” he said.\nGoldman Sachs declined to comment.\nThe company is among other major financial-services firms offering digital advisers, including Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab SCHW, +1.03% and startups such as Betterment and Wealthfront.\nFees for robo advisers can start at around 0.25%, and increase to 1% and above for traditional brokers. A survey of nearly 1,000 financial planners by Inside Information, a trade publication, found that the bigger the portfolio, the lower the percentage clients paid in fees.\nThe median annual charge hovered at around 1% for portfolios of $1 million or less, and 0.5% for portfolios worth $5 million to $10 million.\nRobo advisers like those on offer from Goldman Sachs and Betterment differ from robo platforms like Robinhood. The former suggest portfolios focused on exchange-traded funds, while Robinhood allows users to invest in individual ETFs, stocks, options and even cryptocurrencies.\nRobo investing as a self-driving car\nConsumers have turned to robo-investing at unprecedented levels during the pandemic.\nThe rate of new accounts opened jumped between 50% and 300% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to a May report published by research and advisory firm Aite Group.\nSo what is rob-investing? Think of it like a self-driving car.\nYou put in your destination, buckle up in the backseat and your driver (robo adviser) will get there. You, the passenger, can’t easily slam the breaks if you fear your driver is leading you in the wrong direction. Nor can you put your foot on the gas pedal if you’re in a rush and want to get to your destination faster.\nRobo-investing platforms use advanced-trading algorithm software to design investment portfolios based on factors such as an individual’s appetite for risk-taking and desired short-term and long-term returns.\nThere are over 200 platforms that provide these services charging typically no more than a 0.5% annual advisory fee, compared to the 1% annual fee human investment advisors charge.\nAnd rather than investing entirely on your own, which can become a second job and lead to emotional investment decisions, robo advisers handle buying and selling assets.\nCynthia Loh, Schwab vice president of Digital Advice and Innovation, disagrees, and argues that robo investing doesn’t mean giving technology control of your money. Schwab, she said, has a team of investment experts who oversee investment strategy and keep watch during periods of market volatility, although some services have more input from humans than others.\nAs she recently wrote on MarketWatch: “One common misconception about automated investing is that choosing a robo adviser essentially means handing control of your money over to robots. The truth is that robo solutions have a combination of automated and human components running things behind the scenes.”\nRobos appeal to inexperienced investors\nRobo investing tends to appeal to inexperienced investors or ones who don’t have the time or energy to manage their own portfolios. These investors can take comfort in the “set it and forget it approach to investing and overtime let the markets do their thing,” Barse said.\nThat makes it much easier to stomach market volatility knowing that you don’t necessarily have to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to buy or sell assets, said Tiffany Lam-Balfour, an investing and retirement specialist at NerdWallet.\n“When you’re investing, you don’t want to keep looking at the market and going ‘Oh I need to get out of this,’” she said. “You want to leave it to the professionals to get you through it because they know what your time horizon is, and they’ll adjust your portfolio automatically for you.”\nThat said, “you can’t just expect your investments will only go up.

<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b> (NYSE:AMC) topped last quarter's revenue and earnings estimates. The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.</p>\n<p>None of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's <i>Fast and Furious</i> series entry <i>F9</i>&nbsp;debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question.<i> A Quiet Place, Part II,</i> and <i>Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard</i> were also released in May and June, respectively. <i>Godzilla vs. Kong</i> was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.</p>\n<p>As it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f60e80beb92a6bcec1a0ff4dbc1b82bd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A still-ugly picture</h2>\n<p>The image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June.

The bad news is it's still deep in the red, and only selling a fraction of the number of tickets it was selling before the pandemic took hold.\nNone of this is terribly shocking, of course. A year earlier, the world was largely shut down due to COVID-19. Though the contagion is still with us, consumers and businesses alike are coping. Theaters in the U.S. were mostly reopened by March -- before AMC's second quarter began -- and studios were at least willing to give theaters a try. Universal's Fast and Furious series entry F9 debuted in June, catching the tail end of the quarter in question. A Quiet Place, Part II, and Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard were also released in May and June, respectively. Godzilla vs. Kong was in theaters back in April. They weren't necessarily must-sees, but for newly vaccinated movie-goers ready to get out and do something close to normal again, they were something.\nAs it turns out, though, they were still very little. AMC has miles to go before nearing the sort of business it was doing before the coronavirus rattled the world.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA still-ugly picture\nThe image below speaks volumes, plotting the number of movie tickets AMC sold every quarter through the quarter ending in June.
