POINTSThe Federal Reserve could have two policy tweaks in store as soon as this month, investors and economists say.One would see a rebirth of Operation Twist, in which the Fed sells short-term bills and buys longer-duration bonds.Others could see an increase in rates on excess reserves and overnight repo operations.The moves would be to address market stability rather than economic concerns.While the Federal Reserve may not raise its benchmark interest rate for years, there are growing expectations it may tweak policy soon to address some of the recent tumults in the bond market.The moves could happen as soon as the upcoming March 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, according to investors and economists who are watching recent action closely and expect the central bank to address some distortions that have occurred.One possible move would the third iteration of Operation Twist, a move the Fed last made nearly a decade ago during market tumult around the time of the European debt crisis. Another could see an increase in the rate paid on reserves to address issues in the money markets, while the Fed also might adjust the rate on overnight repo operations in the bond market.The mechanics of Operation Twist involve selling shorter-dated government notes and buying about the same dollar amount in longer-duration securities. The objective is to nudge up shorter-term rates and drive down those at the longer end, thus flattening the yield curve.The Fed ran the program both in 2011 and in 1961; a market participant familiar with the Fed's operations said central bank officials have been in contact with primary dealers to gauge the need for some intervention.'The perfect policy prescription'Longer-term bond yields have surged over the past two weeks to levels not seen since before the Covid-19 pandemic. While they remain low historically speaking, markets have been concernedover the pace of the increase. The bond market was calm Monday, with rates in the middle of the curve mostly lower.Implementing the scheme could help soothe some of the jangled nerves that accompanied a recent blast higher in interest rates from 5-year notes on up the curve. The \"twist\" is a nod toward adjusting the duration of its purchases to the longer end, and the buying and selling of equal weights mean the Fed's already bloated $7.5 trillion balance sheet won't be expanded further.\"The Fed is simultaneously losing control of both the US front end & back end rates curves for different reasons,\" Mark Cabana, rates strategist at Bank of America Global Research, said in a note to clients. \"Twist, a simultaneous selling of US front end Treasuries & buying of longer-dated [bonds], is the perfect policy prescription for the Fed, in our view.\"Cabana said the move \"kills three birds with one stone.\" Namely, it raises rates on the short end of the duration spectrum, provides stability on the back end and does not expand the balance sheet and thus require banks to hold more capital.\"We believe no other Fed balance sheet option can address each of these issues as effectively,\" he wrote. \"To be clear the Fed will twist to deal with market functioning issues, not economic problems.\"Indeed, the Fed iswelcoming some upward pressure on yieldsas it reflects a growing economy and rising inflation expectations toward the central bank's 2% goal.However, the trend presents some issues for the Fed that a weak 7-year note auction last week helped demonstrate. The Fed needs bond auctions to go well as a surge in supply is on the way from a federal government running what is expected to be a deficit of at least $2.3 trillion this year.Investors tend to shy away from longer-dated bonds during times of inflation as their rates can't keep up and cause bondholders to lose principal. That's why Cabana expects the Fed to sell $80 billion a month in Treasury bills and use it to buy bonds of duration past four and a half years.FOMC members at their November meeting discussed market expectations that the central bank would begin to lengthen the average duration of its purchases. Members endorsed \"ongoing careful consideration\" of the composition of its bond holdings.\"Participants noted that the Committee could provide more accommodation, if appropriate, by increasing the pace of purchases or by shifting its Treasury purchases to those with a longer maturity without increasing the size of its purchases,\" theminutes from that meetingstated.Raising rates on reserves and repoThere are other issues in the market, and that's why the Fed's actions may not be limited to Operation Twist.One other move it could do is increase the interest on excess reserves rate from 0.1% to 0.15%. Though there essentially are no excess reserves now due to the Fed dropping the minimum duringthe Covid-19 crisis, the IOER serves as a guardrail for some short-term rates, which is important to money market funds that have had to buy bills at negative real rates.\"The Fed essentially has to place a raised floor in the U.S. economy to keep things that need positive returns alive,\" said Fed veteran Christopher Whalen, head of Whalen Global Advisory.While he said he understands the IOER move, Whalen said he is skeptical of how successful the Fed will be with implementing Twist.\"No matter how well-intentioned they are, their efforts to engineer things are slowly weakening the system,\" he said. \"You have another bad auction or two and we're screwed.\"Still, Cabana said expects the Fed to begin signaling the additional moves as soon as this week. ChairmanJerome Powellspeaks Thursday during a Wall Street Journal event, and a slew of other Fed officials also are on tap to share their views this week.Markets worried over how things are running likely will welcome the Fed's moves, said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.In addition to the Twist implementation and adjustment on IOER, Brusuelas thinks the Fed also will increase the rate it pays on overnight repo operations from zero basis points to five.While Brusuelas said markets expected rising rates this year, \"what we didn't expect was an overreaction to the reflation of the domestic economy in the fixed income market. That clearly has gotten the attention of the Fed.\"\"The market would welcome the lifting of the IOER as well as any communication that it intends to twist the curve down to keep the economy on track,\" he added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381341183,"gmtCreate":1612937063142,"gmtModify":1703767147287,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nintendo!","listText":"Nintendo!","text":"Nintendo!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381341183","repostId":"2110066929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110066929","pubTimestamp":1612925975,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2110066929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-10 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget GameStop, Nintendo Is a Better Video Game Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110066929","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.","content":"<p>The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.</p>\n<p><b>GameStop</b>'s(NYSE:GME)&nbsp;historic short squeeze, which caused the video game retailer's stock to skyrocket over 1,900% between Jan. 1 and Jan. 27, captivated -- and burned -- many investors. The bubble eventually popped, but the stock remains up more than 200% for the year.</p>\n<p>Those gains don't have much fundamental support. GameStop's sales of physical games are still sliding as gamers rely more on digital downloads, while big box retailers also sell the latest hardware. The coronavirus pandemic also exacerbated that pain over the past year.</p>\n<p>GameStop's revenue fell 31% year over year in the first nine months of 2020, and it remained unprofitable. It expects its comparable store sales to rise in the fourth quarter as it sells new consoles and closes weaker stores, but analysts still expect its revenue to drop 19% for the full year, and for its bottom line to remain in the red.</p>\n<p>Instead of&nbsp;joining the speculators&nbsp;and betting on GameStop's longshot turnaround, investors should buy a bettervideo game stock&nbsp;with a brighter future:<b>Nintendo</b>(OTC:NTDOY).</p>\n<p><b>Nintendo's core strengths</b></p>\n<p>Nintendo has shipped 79.9 million Switches globally since the console's&nbsp;launch in early 2017. By comparison,<b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:MSFT)&nbsp;and<b>Sony</b>(NYSE:SNE)&nbsp;have shipped an estimated 49.6 million Xbox Ones and 114.9 million PS4s, respectively, since their launches in late 2013.</p>\n<p>The Nintendo Switch established a strong market presence for three reasons. First, the Switch can be used as either a handheld device or a console docked to a TV. That unique form factor leveraged the strengths of Nintendo's earlier handhelds (including the Game Boy and 3DS) to challenge Microsoft and Sony in the home console market.</p>\n<p>Second, Nintendo launched plenty of exclusive first-party games for&nbsp;the Switch, including<i>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</i>,<i>Animal Crossing: New Horizons</i>,<i>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</i>,<i>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</i>, and<i>Super Mario Odyssey</i>. Gamers needed to buy a Switch to play those games, while many popular Xbox One and PS4 games were cross-platform titles that were also available on PCs.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Nintendo continued to refresh the console to attract new customers. In 2019, it upgraded the original Switch with a new chipset that extended its battery life, then launched the cheaper handheld-only Switch Lite for budget-conscious consumers.</p>\n<p><b>How fast is Nintendo growing?</b></p>\n<p>Nintendo's sales surged 116% in&nbsp;fiscal 2017, thanks to the Switch's arrival, and rose 14% in 2018 and another 9% in 2019.</p>\n<p>Nintendo's growth has been decelerating, but it expects its sales to rise 22% in fiscal 2020, which ends in late March, buoyed by strong sales of the Switch, Switch Lite, and its first-party games.</p>\n<p>Standout games include<i>Animal Crossing: New Horizons</i>, which became a virtual social platform throughout the pandemic;<i>Paper Mario: The Origami King</i>;<i>Super Mario 3D All-Stars</i>; and<i>Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit</i>, which lets players race through AR tracks at home with radio-controlled cars.</p>\n<p>Robust sales of the Switch boosted Nintendo's operating margin from 6% in fiscal 2016 to 26.9% in 2019, and it expects that ratio to hit 35% in 2020.

The bubble eventually popped, but the stock remains up more than 200% for the year.\nThose gains don't have much fundamental support. GameStop's sales of physical games are still sliding as gamers rely more on digital downloads, while big box retailers also sell the latest hardware. The coronavirus pandemic also exacerbated that pain over the past year.\nGameStop's revenue fell 31% year over year in the first nine months of 2020, and it remained unprofitable. It expects its comparable store sales to rise in the fourth quarter as it sells new consoles and closes weaker stores, but analysts still expect its revenue to drop 19% for the full year, and for its bottom line to remain in the red.\nInstead of joining the speculators and betting on GameStop's longshot turnaround, investors should buy a bettervideo game stock with a brighter future:Nintendo(OTC:NTDOY).\nNintendo's core strengths\nNintendo has shipped 79.9 million Switches globally since the console's launch in early 2017. By comparison,Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) andSony(NYSE:SNE) have shipped an estimated 49.6 million Xbox Ones and 114.9 million PS4s, respectively, since their launches in late 2013.\nThe Nintendo Switch established a strong market presence for three reasons. First, the Switch can be used as either a handheld device or a console docked to a TV. That unique form factor leveraged the strengths of Nintendo's earlier handhelds (including the Game Boy and 3DS) to challenge Microsoft and Sony in the home console market.\nSecond, Nintendo launched plenty of exclusive first-party games for the Switch, includingMario Kart 8 Deluxe,Animal Crossing: New Horizons,Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, andSuper Mario Odyssey. Gamers needed to buy a Switch to play those games, while many popular Xbox One and PS4 games were cross-platform titles that were also available on PCs.\nLastly, Nintendo continued to refresh the console to attract new customers. In 2019, it upgraded the original Switch with a new chipset that extended its battery life, then launched the cheaper handheld-only Switch Lite for budget-conscious consumers.\nHow fast is Nintendo growing?\nNintendo's sales surged 116% in fiscal 2017, thanks to the Switch's arrival, and rose 14% in 2018 and another 9% in 2019.\nNintendo's growth has been decelerating, but it expects its sales to rise 22% in fiscal 2020, which ends in late March, buoyed by strong sales of the Switch, Switch Lite, and its first-party games.\nStandout games includeAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, which became a virtual social platform throughout the pandemic;Paper Mario: The Origami King;Super Mario 3D All-Stars; andMario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which lets players race through AR tracks at home with radio-controlled cars.\nRobust sales of the Switch boosted Nintendo's operating margin from 6% in fiscal 2016 to 26.9% in 2019, and it expects that ratio to hit 35% in 2020. That margin expansion caused Nintendo's net profit to rise 36% in fiscal 2017, 39% in 2018, and another 33% in 2019. It expects that streak to continue with 55% profit growth in fiscal 2020.\nWhy Nintendo still has room to run\nNintendo's growth rates look fantastic, and its stock has already risen more than 60% over the past 12 months. But I believe it can still head even higher, for a few simple reasons.\nNintendo's ADR shares only trade at 19 times next year's earnings. The stock remains cheap because analysts expect Nintendo's revenue and earnings to dip 4% and 2%, respectively, next year, presumably as it faces tough year-over-year comparisons and fresh competition from Sony and Microsoft's newest consoles.\nBut those estimates could be too low, and probably don't factor in the potential launch of a \"Switch Pro\" model in 2021 or the resilience of its hybrid form factor and first-party games against the PS5 and Xbox Series S and X consoles. Those tailwinds could help Nintendo easily clear Wall Street's low expectations -- and force analysts to raise their conservative estimates.\nThe key takeaway\nGameStop's bulls often claim robust sales of the Nintendo Switch, which runs some of its games on physical cartridges, will bring more shoppers to its stores. That might happen, but it's smarter and safer to simply buy shares of Nintendo to ride that trend instead of taking a big risk on GameStop's wild stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381341020,"gmtCreate":1612937025660,"gmtModify":1703767147114,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very long","listText":"Very long","text":"Very long","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381341020","repostId":"1162909934","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1162909934","pubTimestamp":1612927184,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1162909934?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-10 11:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How Long Will the Tesla-Driven Bitcoin Rally Last?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1162909934","media":"zacks","summary":"The price of Bitcoin has been going through the roof lately.

Another could see an increase in the rate paid on reserves to address issues in the money markets, while the Fed also might adjust the rate on overnight repo operations in the bond market.The mechanics of Operation Twist involve selling shorter-dated government notes and buying about the same dollar amount in longer-duration securities. The objective is to nudge up shorter-term rates and drive down those at the longer end, thus flattening the yield curve.The Fed ran the program both in 2011 and in 1961; a market participant familiar with the Fed's operations said central bank officials have been in contact with primary dealers to gauge the need for some intervention.'The perfect policy prescription'Longer-term bond yields have surged over the past two weeks to levels not seen since before the Covid-19 pandemic. While they remain low historically speaking, markets have been concernedover the pace of the increase. The bond market was calm Monday, with rates in the middle of the curve mostly lower.Implementing the scheme could help soothe some of the jangled nerves that accompanied a recent blast higher in interest rates from 5-year notes on up the curve. The \"twist\" is a nod toward adjusting the duration of its purchases to the longer end, and the buying and selling of equal weights mean the Fed's already bloated $7.5 trillion balance sheet won't be expanded further.\"The Fed is simultaneously losing control of both the US front end & back end rates curves for different reasons,\" Mark Cabana, rates strategist at Bank of America Global Research, said in a note to clients. \"Twist, a simultaneous selling of US front end Treasuries & buying of longer-dated [bonds], is the perfect policy prescription for the Fed, in our view.\"Cabana said the move \"kills three birds with one stone.\" Namely, it raises rates on the short end of the duration spectrum, provides stability on the back end and does not expand the balance sheet and thus require banks to hold more capital.\"We believe no other Fed balance sheet option can address each of these issues as effectively,\" he wrote. \"To be clear the Fed will twist to deal with market functioning issues, not economic problems.\"Indeed, the Fed iswelcoming some upward pressure on yieldsas it reflects a growing economy and rising inflation expectations toward the central bank's 2% goal.However, the trend presents some issues for the Fed that a weak 7-year note auction last week helped demonstrate. The Fed needs bond auctions to go well as a surge in supply is on the way from a federal government running what is expected to be a deficit of at least $2.3 trillion this year.Investors tend to shy away from longer-dated bonds during times of inflation as their rates can't keep up and cause bondholders to lose principal. That's why Cabana expects the Fed to sell $80 billion a month in Treasury bills and use it to buy bonds of duration past four and a half years.FOMC members at their November meeting discussed market expectations that the central bank would begin to lengthen the average duration of its purchases. Members endorsed \"ongoing careful consideration\" of the composition of its bond holdings.\"Participants noted that the Committee could provide more accommodation, if appropriate, by increasing the pace of purchases or by shifting its Treasury purchases to those with a longer maturity without increasing the size of its purchases,\" theminutes from that meetingstated.Raising rates on reserves and repoThere are other issues in the market, and that's why the Fed's actions may not be limited to Operation Twist.One other move it could do is increase the interest on excess reserves rate from 0.1% to 0.15%. Though there essentially are no excess reserves now due to the Fed dropping the minimum duringthe Covid-19 crisis, the IOER serves as a guardrail for some short-term rates, which is important to money market funds that have had to buy bills at negative real rates.\"The Fed essentially has to place a raised floor in the U.S. economy to keep things that need positive returns alive,\" said Fed veteran Christopher Whalen, head of Whalen Global Advisory.While he said he understands the IOER move, Whalen said he is skeptical of how successful the Fed will be with implementing Twist.\"No matter how well-intentioned they are, their efforts to engineer things are slowly weakening the system,\" he said. \"You have another bad auction or two and we're screwed.\"Still, Cabana said expects the Fed to begin signaling the additional moves as soon as this week. ChairmanJerome Powellspeaks Thursday during a Wall Street Journal event, and a slew of other Fed officials also are on tap to share their views this week.Markets worried over how things are running likely will welcome the Fed's moves, said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.In addition to the Twist implementation and adjustment on IOER, Brusuelas thinks the Fed also will increase the rate it pays on overnight repo operations from zero basis points to five.While Brusuelas said markets expected rising rates this year, \"what we didn't expect was an overreaction to the reflation of the domestic economy in the fixed income market. That clearly has gotten the attention of the Fed.\"\"The market would welcome the lifting of the IOER as well as any communication that it intends to twist the curve down to keep the economy on track,\" he added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381341183,"gmtCreate":1612937063142,"gmtModify":1703767147287,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nintendo!","listText":"Nintendo!","text":"Nintendo!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381341183","repostId":"2110066929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110066929","pubTimestamp":1612925975,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2110066929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-10 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget GameStop, Nintendo Is a Better Video Game Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110066929","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.","content":"<p>The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.</p>\n<p><b>GameStop</b>'s(NYSE:GME)&nbsp;historic short squeeze, which caused the video game retailer's stock to skyrocket over 1,900% between Jan. 1 and Jan. 27, captivated -- and burned -- many investors.

The stock remains cheap because analysts expect Nintendo's revenue and earnings to dip 4% and 2%, respectively, next year, presumably as it faces tough year-over-year comparisons and fresh competition from Sony and Microsoft's newest consoles.</p>\n<p>But those estimates could be too low, and probably don't factor in the potential launch of a \"Switch Pro\" model in 2021 or the resilience of its hybrid form factor and first-party games against the PS5 and Xbox Series S and X consoles.

That might happen, but it's smarter and safer to simply buy shares of Nintendo to ride that trend instead of taking a big risk on GameStop's wild stock.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget GameStop, Nintendo Is a Better Video Game Stock</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\">\nForget GameStop, Nintendo Is a Better Video Game Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-10 10:59 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/02/09/forget-gamestop-nintendo-is-a-better-video-game-st/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.\nGameStop's(NYSE:GME) historic short squeeze, which caused the video game retailer's stock to skyrocket over 1,900% between ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/02/09/forget-gamestop-nintendo-is-a-better-video-game-st/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GME":"游戏驿站","NTDOY":"任天堂"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/02/09/forget-gamestop-nintendo-is-a-better-video-game-st/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2110066929","content_text":"The Japanese video game giant is still undervalued relative to its growth.\nGameStop's(NYSE:GME) historic short squeeze, which caused the video game retailer's stock to skyrocket over 1,900% between Jan. 1 and Jan. 27, captivated -- and burned -- many investors.

The stock remains cheap because analysts expect Nintendo's revenue and earnings to dip 4% and 2%, respectively, next year, presumably as it faces tough year-over-year comparisons and fresh competition from Sony and Microsoft's newest consoles.\nBut those estimates could be too low, and probably don't factor in the potential launch of a \"Switch Pro\" model in 2021 or the resilience of its hybrid form factor and first-party games against the PS5 and Xbox Series S and X consoles. Those tailwinds could help Nintendo easily clear Wall Street's low expectations -- and force analysts to raise their conservative estimates.\nThe key takeaway\nGameStop's bulls often claim robust sales of the Nintendo Switch, which runs some of its games on physical cartridges, will bring more shoppers to its stores. That might happen, but it's smarter and safer to simply buy shares of Nintendo to ride that trend instead of taking a big risk on GameStop's wild stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":823655977,"gmtCreate":1633620119915,"gmtModify":1633620168661,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BNGO\">$Bionano Genomics(BNGO)$</a>[Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BNGO\">$Bionano Genomics(BNGO)$</a>[Miser]&nbsp;","text":"$Bionano Genomics(BNGO)$[Miser]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09c2ba53d13bd08264da5386a4fe63b0","width":"750","height":"2217"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/823655977","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":187694921,"gmtCreate":1623751345263,"gmtModify":1634029071450,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More chances","listText":"More chances","text":"More chances","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/187694921","repostId":"1135158450","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381341020,"gmtCreate":1612937025660,"gmtModify":1703767147114,"author":{"id":"3571971808703813","authorId":"3571971808703813","authorIdStr":"3571971808703813","name":"Aphy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6e1b0a4767b94d00079b91238ddc684","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571971808703813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very long","listText":"Very long","text":"Very long","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381341020","repostId":"1162909934","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1162909934","pubTimestamp":1612927184,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1162909934?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-10 11:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How Long Will the Tesla-Driven Bitcoin Rally Last?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1162909934","media":"zacks","summary":"The price of Bitcoin has been going through the roof lately.
