transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same. For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV.

If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.</p><p>When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.</p><p>That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.</p><p>\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever</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\">\nThe Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-28 23:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts.

In general, the investment environment – especially from mid-February through the end of the quarter – was favorable as value outperformed growth, and interest rates and inflation expectations rose.\"</p><p>He then asks if the tide has<i><b>finally</b></i>turned from Growth to Value, noting that \"after a very tough decade, we have only just begun a recovery as shown in this 45-year chart from Goldman Sachs research:\"</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5db342a0e7b68b8405ce6d4041b71a0\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"339\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Part of the shift from growth to value, Einhorn writes, may be coming from higher inflation and inflation expectations. As measured by the inflation swap market, 10-year inflation expectations fell from 2.9% in September 2012 to 0.8% in March 2020. The only significant intervening bounce came in 2016, when expectations jumped from 1.5% to 2.3% on expectations of a major stimulus deal from the Trump admin (which never materialized). It is hardly a coincidence that that was the only year in the last decade in which value outperformed growth, as the Greenlight head notes. Fast forward to now, when after bottoming in March 2020, inflation expectations have recovered to 2.5%. The trend became clearer in the middle of May, and value started outperforming growth then, and especially since the middle of February. Indeed, aince May 15, the value-heavy Greenlight returned 80% of the S&amp;P 500 index with half the net exposure.</p><p>Einhorn is even more optimistic about the future when it comes to the \"growth to value\" rotation:</p><blockquote><i>When the time comes, we will have to figure out how to perform better in deflationary periods. But for now, we believe inflation is only going one way – higher – and we are optimistic about our prospects. The wind is now at our backs. The economy is in full recovery mode. Household balance sheets are stronger than they have been in a long time and household income growth was up 13% in February compared to last year. And this is before the latest $1.9 trillion – with a “T” – pandemic relief stimulus. Corporate capital spending is booming. There are shortages and bottlenecks everywhere. Last month nearly one million jobs returned. There are signs of an emerging labor shortage.</i></blockquote><p>As for the Fed, the Greenlight boss writes that \"it fundamentally changed its framework last August. It no longer seems to care that monetary policy works with a lag. Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protect<s>the stock market and corporate bondholders</s>the economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"</p><p>The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:</p><blockquote><i>... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know?</i> <i><b>Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”?</b></i> <i>Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.</i></blockquote><p>It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:</p><blockquote><i>The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.</i></blockquote><p>To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"</p><p>Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in<i>15 minutes</i>), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. That<b>is a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.</b>\"</p><p>The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:</p><ul><li><b>Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)</b>benefitted from rising interest rates;</li><li><b>Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)</b>began its life as a public company;</li><li><b>Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)</b>benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;</li><li><b>Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)</b>was helped by the strong housing market;</li><li><b>Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)</b>agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;</li><li><b>AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)</b>agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; and</li><li><b>An undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)</b>fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.</li></ul><p><i>(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).</i></p><p>Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.</p><p>What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:</p><blockquote><i>In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts. While we do not expect this to be a permanent change, we will evaluate and modify as we go.</i> <i><b>The performance of our short portfolio in 2020 and in early 2021 was unacceptable, so change is certainly needed.</b></i> <i>If we swing a little less hard, we should hit more balls. We have also revised our internal analyst incentive structure to fully emphasize alpha creation.Much has been made of the short-squeezes in late January. In fact, Congress held hearings, where it called the leaders of Robinhood, Melvin Capital and Citadel and an individual investor who made a great call on GameStop (GME) to testify. We have a few thoughts about this to share.</i> <i><b>First, it is very healthy for market participants to discuss and debate stocks.</b></i> <i>This is true both privately and publicly. There are rules about fraud and manipulation that need to be followed,</i> <i><b>but investors discussing why they think GME (or any other stock) should go up or down ought to be encouraged. There is no reason to drag anyone before Congress for making a stock pick.</b></i> <i>Second, it is also fine to make bad stock picks.</i> <i><b>If a hedge fund takes a big position in a stock and is wrong, it loses money. Isn’t this how it is supposed to work?</b></i> <i>Third,</i> <i><b>payment for order flow is just disguised commissions.</b></i> <i>We are in a world where consumers, especially young ones, expect internet services to be free, or at least free to them.

In general, the investment environment – especially from mid-February through the end of the quarter – was favorable as value outperformed growth, and interest rates and inflation expectations rose.\"He then asks if the tide hasfinallyturned from Growth to Value, noting that \"after a very tough decade, we have only just begun a recovery as shown in this 45-year chart from Goldman Sachs research:\"Part of the shift from growth to value, Einhorn writes, may be coming from higher inflation and inflation expectations. As measured by the inflation swap market, 10-year inflation expectations fell from 2.9% in September 2012 to 0.8% in March 2020. The only significant intervening bounce came in 2016, when expectations jumped from 1.5% to 2.3% on expectations of a major stimulus deal from the Trump admin (which never materialized). It is hardly a coincidence that that was the only year in the last decade in which value outperformed growth, as the Greenlight head notes. Fast forward to now, when after bottoming in March 2020, inflation expectations have recovered to 2.5%. The trend became clearer in the middle of May, and value started outperforming growth then, and especially since the middle of February. Indeed, aince May 15, the value-heavy Greenlight returned 80% of the S&P 500 index with half the net exposure.Einhorn is even more optimistic about the future when it comes to the \"growth to value\" rotation:When the time comes, we will have to figure out how to perform better in deflationary periods. But for now, we believe inflation is only going one way – higher – and we are optimistic about our prospects. The wind is now at our backs. The economy is in full recovery mode. Household balance sheets are stronger than they have been in a long time and household income growth was up 13% in February compared to last year. And this is before the latest $1.9 trillion – with a “T” – pandemic relief stimulus. Corporate capital spending is booming. There are shortages and bottlenecks everywhere. Last month nearly one million jobs returned. There are signs of an emerging labor shortage.As for the Fed, the Greenlight boss writes that \"it fundamentally changed its framework last August. It no longer seems to care that monetary policy works with a lag. Actually, it has embraced an asymmetrical inflation policy: The Fed wants to be ahead of the curve on the downside to protectthe stock market and corporate bondholdersthe economy. Behind the curve is fine on the way up no matter how frothy the stock market the recovery is. Now, it says it is only going to react to actual inflation that exceeds its 2% target for a period of time.\"The letter then goes on to muse how the Fed will know when it is blowing the next bubble, and to stop:... the Fed has indicated that it believes any abnormally high inflation will be transitory. We wonder, how will the Fed know? Do price increases come with a label that says “transitory”? Our sense is that no matter how hot inflation gets in the coming months, the Fed will continue with zero interest rates and large-scale asset purchases. After all, the U.S. Treasury has a lot of debt to sell and it isn’t clear who, other than the Fed, can absorb the supply.It's not just Powell who is throwing caution to the wind: so are such mainstream econ \"experts\" as John Oliver:The bipartisan idea that deficits don’t matter has even reached popular culture. John Oliverdedicated an entire episodeof Last Week Tonight to browbeating anyone who is concerned about the growing national debt. His argument boiled down to: (1) nobody knows how much debt is too much; (2) we have a good need to spend money now; and (3) it won’t be a problem until inflation shows up, and we can deal with it then.To this, Einhorn's response is simple: \"Though one can debate whether the official government statistics are contrived to avoid capturing inflation\" - and as we have repeatedly noted, inflation is now decidedly a political measurement, one which has been gamed for decades to make it appears as low as possible \"shortages and bottlenecks accompanied by rising demand can only be solved through increased capacity and higher prices. We have also reset the baseline income for non-working adults; it will take higher wages to bring those marginally attached to the labor force back to work.\"Concluding this part of the letter, Einhorn writes that while the Fed says it has the tools to fight inflation (and according to Bernanke can cut it in15 minutes), \"it remains to be seen if it will have the stomach to use them when the time comes. Thatis a discussion for another day. Right now, we remain positioned for rising inflation and inflation expectations.\"The Greenlight letter then goes on to lay out just how it plans to capture these rising inflation expectations, listing its top positions as follows, and how they performed in the frist quarter:Brighthouse Financial (BHF, +22%)benefitted from rising interest rates;Danimer Scientific (DNMR, +61%)began its life as a public company;Concentrix (CNXC, +52%)benefitted from strong demand and rising estimates;Resideo Technologies (REZI, +33%)was helped by the strong housing market;Change Healthcare (CHNG, +18%)agreed to be acquired by UnitedHealthcare;AerCap Holdings (AER, +29%)agreed to acquire GE Capital’s aircraft leasing business (GECAS) at a discount; andAn undisclosed healthcare short (-41%)fell due to reduced government reimbursement for its product.(incidentally, at quarter-end, Greenlight's largest disclosed long positions were Atlas Air Worldwide, Brighthouse Financial, Change Healthcare, Danimer Scientific and Green Brick Partners, with a net average exposure of 118% long and 81% short).Which is not to say that there were no glitches. One was underperformance by homebuilder and land-developer GRBK, the fund's largest position (more on this in the full letter below). The other performance drag was - as usual- Greenlight's \"short basket\" of bubble stocks.What follows next is a tour de force from Einhorn lashing out at all the ways the market is broken, and how the Reddit insanity of Q1 exposed it for all to see:In late January, the market came to focus on companies with large short interests. Despite having a diversified portfolio, a number of our positions fell into this group and experienced sudden, sharp rises. We adjusted to the dynamic by reducing our exposure to single name shorts, both in number and sizing. To mitigate the potentially uncomfortable net long bias that would have resulted, we added macro hedges of market index and index option shorts. While we do not expect this to be a permanent change, we will evaluate and modify as we go. The performance of our short portfolio in 2020 and in early 2021 was unacceptable, so change is certainly needed. If we swing a little less hard, we should hit more balls. We have also revised our internal analyst incentive structure to fully emphasize alpha creation.Much has been made of the short-squeezes in late January. In fact, Congress held hearings, where it called the leaders of Robinhood, Melvin Capital and Citadel and an individual investor who made a great call on GameStop (GME) to testify. We have a few thoughts about this to share. First, it is very healthy for market participants to discuss and debate stocks. This is true both privately and publicly. There are rules about fraud and manipulation that need to be followed, but investors discussing why they think GME (or any other stock) should go up or down ought to be encouraged. There is no reason to drag anyone before Congress for making a stock pick. Second, it is also fine to make bad stock picks. If a hedge fund takes a big position in a stock and is wrong, it loses money. Isn’t this how it is supposed to work? Third, payment for order flow is just disguised commissions. We are in a world where consumers, especially young ones, expect internet services to be free, or at least free to them. A quote widely attributed to Richard Serra about commercial TV in 1973 says it best: “You’re not the customer; you’re the product.” If you want the broker to work for you, pay a commission. Fourth, Robinhood suspended trading in certain stocks because it was undercapitalized. It is possible that it wasn’t following the regulatory requirements. A regulatory sanction is probably appropriate – but as we’ll discuss below, we won’t be holding our breath.The punchline:Einhorn slamming Chamath and Elon for pouring the \"real jet fuel\" on the GME squeeze:Finally, we note that the real jet fuel on the GME squeeze came from Chamath Palihapitiya and Elon Musk, whose appearances on TV and Twitter, respectively, at a critical moment further destabilized the situation. Mr. Palihapitiya controls SoFi, which competes with Robinhood, and left us with the impression that by destabilizing GME he could harm a competitor. As for Mr. Musk, we are going to defend him, half-heartedly. If regulators wanted Elon Musk to stop manipulating stocks, they should have done so with more than a light slap on the wrist when they accused him of manipulating Tesla’s shares in 2018. The laws don’t apply to him and he can do whatever he wants. Many who would never support defunding the police have supported – and for all intents and purposes have succeeded – in almost completely defanging, if not defunding, the regulators. For the most part, quasi-anarchy appears to rule in markets. Sure, Dr. Michael Burry, famed for his role in The Big Short, reportedly received a visit from the SEC after tweeting warnings about recent market trends – and decided to stop publicly speaking truth to power. But for the most part, there is no cop on the beat. It’s as if there are no financial fraud prosecutors; companies and managements that are emboldened enough to engage in malfeasance have little to fear.Einhorn then concludes with three anecdotes to demonstrate his argument that this is not only an \"anything goes\" market where crime is rampant, but proving just how broken the market has become.First, consider the investigation of Tether by the Office of the Attorney General of New York (OAG). As Einhorn explains, \"tether is a cryptocurrency that is always worth a dollar (the value is “tethered” to the dollar). Tether is one of the largest cryptocurrencies with about $40 billion outstanding, yet it has not been audited or regulated in any serious manner. In theory, Tether is supposed to have $1 of cash backing every Tether issued. Except it didn’t, at least when it was investigated.\" Incidentally, for anyone still confused, Tether is how theChinese launder billions in domestic funds abroad and outside the Chinese firewallas we explained in December, although so far few have the desire to expose this reality. In any case, here is Einhorn's lament:The OAG conducted a two-year probe and found that Tether deceived clients and the market by overstating reserves and hiding approximately $850 million of losses around the globe. Tether and its sponsor, Bitfinex, “recklessly and unlawfully covered up massive financial losses to keep their scheme going and protect their bottom lines,” said the OAG. Further, “Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.”Did the OAG shut down Tether? Did anyone get arrested or even lose their job? Was the regulatory infrastructure changed to make sure this doesn’t happen again? No, of course not. The OAG assessed an $18.5 million penalty and Tether agreed to discontinue “any trading activity with New Yorkers.” It was as if Bernie Madoff had been told to pay a small fine and stop ripping off New Yorkers, but to go ahead and have fun with the Palm Beach crowd.Einhorn next highlights one of the stocks most hated by the bearish community: GSX:The media is focused on how the banks allowed excessive leverage and poorly (or properly) managed their risks. The real story is how Arch-Egos was able to buy up most of the float of GSX Techedu, causing the stock to soar 400% in the face of unrefuted allegations of massive fraud.The SEC has an ongoing investigation of GSX but appears to not have noticed a single fund (or a small group of funds) essentially cornering the market. A traditionalist could say this was market manipulation and transparently illegal.The professional poker player finally points out some of the insane moves observed in pennystocks in Q1, focusing on a tiny deli owner in rural NJ:Strange things happen to all kinds of stocks. Last year, on one day in June, the stocks of about a dozen bankrupt companies roughly doubled on enormous volume. Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported a boom in penny stocks.Someone pointed us to Hometown International (HWIN), which owns a single deli in rural New Jersey. The deli had $21,772 in sales in 2019 and only $13,976 in 2020, as it was closed due to COVID from March to September. HWIN reached a market cap of $113 million on February 8. The largest shareholder is also the CEO/CFO/Treasurer and a Director, who also happens to be the wrestling coach of the high school next door to the deli. The pastrami must be amazing.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.</p>\n<p>The shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&amp;P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.</p>\n<p>Winter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.</p>\n<p>Adjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.</p>\n<p>The results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones &amp; Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.</p>\n<p>“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.</p>\n<p>Street Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap</p>\n<p>Several analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.</p>\n<p>FedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.</p>\n<p>Fueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>FedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.</p>\n<p>What Bloomberg Intelligence says:</p>\n<p>“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”</p>\n<p>-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.</p>\n<p>The changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.</p>\n<p>The company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.\n“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.\nThe shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.\nWinter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.\nAdjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.\nThe results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones & Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.\n“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.\nStreet Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap\nSeveral analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.\nFedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.\nFueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.\nFedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.\nWhat Bloomberg Intelligence says:\n“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”\n-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.\nThe changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.\nThe company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand. Commercial airlines, which also carry cargo, won’t recover fully until as late as the end of 2024 and e-commerce will remain a growth engine, it predicted.\nStill, Carere warned of a “potential for a short-term deceleration” for online shopping after the pandemic subsides.\nHigh volumes have allowed FedEx and rival United Parcel Service Inc. to increase prices even as they limit capital spending. FedEx lifted its forecast for capital expenditures by $600 million to $5.7 billion for the year ending in May to boost capacity at its ground unit and to move up some aircraft payments. That’s still lower than the $5.9 billion it spent last year.\nOperating margins of 4.9% fell short of analyst expectations for 5.9%, but showed marked improvement over the paltry 2.8% FedEx reported a year ago as Covid-19 triggered business shutdowns.\n(Updates stock action in fourth paragraph)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350562852,"gmtCreate":1616233220976,"gmtModify":1634526630755,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment reply","listText":"Like comment reply","text":"Like comment reply","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/350562852","repostId":"2120110737","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":21,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350562303,"gmtCreate":1616233195802,"gmtModify":1634526631002,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","listText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","text":"Comment and reply","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/350562303","repostId":"2120148494","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":53,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327256746,"gmtCreate":1616094615885,"gmtModify":1634527267100,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Woah","listText":"Woah","text":"Woah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/327256746","repostId":"1136193758","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1136193758","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616084780,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1136193758?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-19 00:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"China’s Tuya Is Poised to Raise $915 Million in U.S. IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136193758","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(March 18) Tuya opens for trading at $27.21, up 29.57% from IPO price.Tencent-backed firm’s shares s","content":"<p>(March 18)&nbsp;Tuya opens for trading at $27.21, up 29.57% from IPO price.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87927b685d980a8f608fbfd7b8ad16c1\" tg-width=\"662\" tg-height=\"418\"></p><ul><li>Tencent-backed firm’s shares set to price above marketed range</li><li>Company’s cloud platform used to manage smart devices</li></ul><p>Tuya Inc., a software company backed by&nbsp;New Enterprise Associates&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tencent Holdings Ltd., is on track to raise $915 million in a U.S. initial public offering priced above its marketed range, said a person familiar with the matter.</p><p>The company on Wednesday told prospective investors it would sell American depositary shares for $21 each, the person said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private.

The San Mateo, Calif.-based videogame provider’s stock will begin trading March 10 on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RBLX. The shares are trading through a direct listing, bypassing the traditional route of an initial public offering.</p><p>Roblox’s reference price was set at $45, in lieu of a formal IPO price, and is based on recent private-market transactions.</p><p>Roblox&nbsp;isn’t a traditional videogame company&nbsp;and is using a nontraditional process to potentially reach investors as the pandemic&nbsp;has driven people to spend more time and money on gameplay. Here’s what you need to know about the company and its plans for a direct listing.</p><p>Roblox said in the latest update to its&nbsp;prospectus&nbsp;that it paid developers $328.7 million last year, up almost 200% from 2019. That far outpaced the company’s sales growth of 82% last year, when it booked $923.9 million in total revenue.</p><p>More than 1,250 developers earned at least $10,000 in the digital currency Robux, which can be converted to cash. Over 300 earned $100,000 or more.</p><p>Roblox is telling prospective shareholders to get comfortable with its hefty payouts. In its&nbsp;investor presentationlast week, the company said it plans to shell out even more to creators to incentive higher-quality content and fund bigger teams of engineers, designers, artists and producers.</p><p><b>What is Roblox?</b></p><p>Roblox is a free online platform that features tens of millions of multiplayer games made by its own players with tools the company provides. The games range from obstacle-course challenges and iterations of capture the flag to contests based on popular characters such as Peppa Pig and Sonic the Hedgehog. Company officials have said they are interested in increasing the use of Roblox for things such as virtual concerts and meetings.</p><p><b>Who plays Roblox and how?</b></p><p>Roblox is accessible on computers, consoles and mobile devices. The company said it had roughly 33 million daily users last year, of whom more than half are under the age of 13. Players in Roblox appear in the form of customizable avatars.</p><p><b>Roblox’s Covid boom</b></p><p>Roblox has been a huge beneficiary of the Covid-19 shutdowns, which forced kids out of the classroom and away from their friends. With no school to attend and birthday parties canceled,kids turned to Roblox, where they can socialize virtually, navigating theme parks, attending concerts and playing action games while also staying in touch using its popular text chat feature.</p><p>Daily active users jumped 85% in 2020 to 32.6 million. The number of hours that players spent on the app more than doubled to 30.6 billion.</p><p>That unexpected and unprecedented growth has created some challenges around its developer community. The company has had to contend with an influx ofspammers&nbsp;and&nbsp;scammers&nbsp;who are out to take advantage of some of the millions of kids who are ready and willing to spend their parents money on Robux.</p><p>In-game pop-ups lure users with the promise of free Robux if they fill out a survey, only to reroute them to other sites where there’s no Robux and even more spam.

Let's take a closer look at what's going on and what you need to know if you're considering buying the stock.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F618876%2Fcar-production.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"491\"><span>Auto production constraints could hurt 3M in 2021.

In recent years, 3M's operating margin has been under pressure and the problems couldn't entirely be blamed on weakness in the industrial economy, as much of the disappointment came in the less economically sensitive healthcare and consumer segments.&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9857b2728b2ad5e3d8d7eaa67d5d15ba\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Operational restructuring</h2>\n<p>In response to the company's poor performance, Roman has set about restructuring the company. Among the changes, 3M now has four business segments instead of five while also streamlining the company for growth. Management has divested underperforming businesses (<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> example being its drug delivery business for $650 million in 2020), and some market participants believe it could sell its food safety business.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p>\n<p>Meanwhile as part of its efforts to spur growth in the healthcare segment, 3M bought M*Modal's technology business (artificial intelligence systems for healthcare physicians) for $1 billion, and Acelity (advanced wound care) for $6.7 billion. Both deals were completed in 2019. </p>\n<h2>Administrative changes&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>3M's management is making operational changes, and equally important, it's making organizational changes as well. A new business model has been in place since January 2020. Under the new model, business groups are now run globally, with the units running their own strategy and making their own capital allocation decisions. This is opposed to the previous model, where the businesses operated on a country basis.</p>\n<p>Roman and CFO Monish Patolawala have cited the administrative changes as instrumental in driving 3M's future growth. </p>\n<h2>The investment case for 3M</h2>\n<p>The stock's investment case is that the restructuring actions will be successful. Investors can also feel optimistic because 3M continues to generate bundles of free cash flow (FCF) that will give management the financial firepower to enact further changes or buy businesses. The company's price-to-FCF valuation is now looking very attractive.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e0672e732a7a758ea485c91bfa630ee\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>Guidance for 2021</h2>\n<p>Investors are hoping the fruits of management's actions start coming through in 2021.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.</p>\n<p>The shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&amp;P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.</p>\n<p>Winter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.</p>\n<p>Adjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.</p>\n<p>The results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones &amp; Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.</p>\n<p>“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.</p>\n<p>Street Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap</p>\n<p>Several analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.</p>\n<p>FedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.</p>\n<p>Fueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>FedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.</p>\n<p>What Bloomberg Intelligence says:</p>\n<p>“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”</p>\n<p>-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.</p>\n<p>The changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.</p>\n<p>The company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand.

It also provided a bullish forecast for the full fiscal year -- the first guidance it has issued since suspending its outlook 12 months ago amid uncertainty about the Covid-19 pandemic.\n“We have great momentum coming out of Q3,” Brie Carere, the courier’s marketing chief, said on a conference call with analysts.\nThe shares jumped 5.9% to $278.96 at 9:40 a.m. in New York, the strongest gain on the S&P 500. The stock earlier rose 6.9%, the most intraday since Sept. 16. FedEx had climbed less than 2% this year through Thursday.\nWinter storms cut operating income by $350 million after severe snowfall locked up most of the southern U.S., including FedEx’s largest hub in Memphis, Tennessee, for about a week in mid-February. But record package volumes and less air-freight competition from airlines allowed the company to lift prices.\nAdjusted earnings for the fiscal third quarter came to $3.47 a share, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.22, FedEx said after the stock market closed Thursday.\nThe results show that FedEx is benefiting from a turnaround in the broader recovery as the pandemic wanes, Matt Arnold, an analyst with Edward D. Jones & Co., said in an interview. More importantly, the courier is proving to investors it can make money on residential deliveries, which rose to 70% of ground volumes from 62% a year earlier.\n“They’re making some good progress on finally improving profitability through a combination of getting the pricing they need as well as taking the cost per delivery lower,” Arnold said.\nStreet Wrap: FedEx Rises as Analysts Praise Strong Results: Street Wrap\nSeveral analysts raised their price targets, including Patrick Tyler Brown of Raymond James. “We suspect the accelerating shift toward e-commerce continues to foster supply/demand imbalances,” he wrote in a note to clients.\nFedEx said e-commerce will grow faster than it projected just six months ago when the company saw U.S. domestic deliveries across the industry reaching 100 million packages a day in 2023 -- three years earlier than it had previously forecast. It now estimates hitting 101 million packages per day in 2022, with 86% of that growth from e-commerce.\nFueled by expectations for continued demand, the company issued an earnings outlook for its fiscal year ending in May of $17.60 to $18.20 a share. Analysts had expected $17.40, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.\nFedEx’s ability to weather the pandemic was helped by moves it made starting in early 2019. Chief Executive Officer Fred Smith overhauled the company’s ground unit to be more efficient making residential deliveries and he invested in automated sorting hubs allowing it to expand service to seven days a week from five. The company also built stand-alone facilities to handle oversize packages and took back parcels it had been handing off to the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.\nWhat Bloomberg Intelligence says:\n“When we strip out the noise, FedEx is demonstrating the ability to create operating efficiencies and position itself for further margin expansion from a recovery in business-to-business volume and less-than-truckload demand. Moreover, a fully integrated TNT should start to put FedEx on a better competitive footing in Europe over the longer term.”\n-- Lee Klaskow, BI transportation analystClick here to read the research.\nThe changes helped FedEx deal with an onslaught of online shopping as virus-wary consumers shunned brick-and-mortar stores. Sales climbed 23% to $21.5 billion in the quarter, led by a 37% gain in revenue from standard ground operations to about $8 billion. Express delivery sales rose 21% to $10.8 billion.\nThe company anticipates rising sales and profit margins for ground, express and freight in the current quarter that ends May 31, citing the U.S. government stimulus checks as a contributor to higher demand. Commercial airlines, which also carry cargo, won’t recover fully until as late as the end of 2024 and e-commerce will remain a growth engine, it predicted.\nStill, Carere warned of a “potential for a short-term deceleration” for online shopping after the pandemic subsides.\nHigh volumes have allowed FedEx and rival United Parcel Service Inc. to increase prices even as they limit capital spending. FedEx lifted its forecast for capital expenditures by $600 million to $5.7 billion for the year ending in May to boost capacity at its ground unit and to move up some aircraft payments. That’s still lower than the $5.9 billion it spent last year.\nOperating margins of 4.9% fell short of analyst expectations for 5.9%, but showed marked improvement over the paltry 2.8% FedEx reported a year ago as Covid-19 triggered business shutdowns.\n(Updates stock action in fourth paragraph)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350562303,"gmtCreate":1616233195802,"gmtModify":1634526631002,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","listText":"Comment and reply&nbsp;","text":"Comment and reply","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/350562303","repostId":"2120148494","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2120148494","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1616226213,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2120148494?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-20 15:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple CEO Cook, execs on tentative list of witnesses in Epic Games case","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2120148494","media":"Reuters","summary":"March 20 (Reuters) - Apple Inc's    CEO Tim Cook, software chief Craig Federighi and other executive","content":"<html><body><p>March 20 (Reuters) - Apple Inc's    CEO Tim Cook, software chief Craig Federighi and other executives were named on a tentative list of witnesses in the software giant's case against Epic Games, a court filing dated March 19 showed.</p><p>   App Store Vice President Matt Fischer and Apple Fellow Phil Schiller were also named on the list submitted to the U.S. District Court Northern District of California Oakland Division, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.</p><p>   The iPhone maker has been at loggerheads with Epic Games, the creator of the popular game Fortnite, which last year tried to avoid a 30% fee which Apple charges developers on the App Store by launching its own in-app payment system.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows.

As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355865231,"gmtCreate":1617061496423,"gmtModify":1634522906887,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment and like, reply too","listText":"Comment and like, reply too","text":"Comment and like, reply too","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/355865231","repostId":"1195601571","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195601571","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1617028938,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195601571?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-29 22:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tuya fell nearly 12%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195601571","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(March 29) Tuya fell nearly 12%.Tuya pricedits 43.59M ADSs IPO at $21/ADS for total offering size of","content":"<p>(March 29)&nbsp;Tuya fell nearly 12%.</p><p>Tuya pricedits 43.59M ADSs IPO at $21/ADS for&nbsp;total offering size of $915.4M;

Senator Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,said Tuesday that he was leading Senate Democratsin pushing for the package to include an automatic extension of unemployment benefits based on economic conditions, which would remove additional unemployment benefit cliffs going forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385272317,"gmtCreate":1613559726039,"gmtModify":1634553163797,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment below","listText":"Comment below","text":"Comment below","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/385272317","repostId":"1160744674","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160744674","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613554590,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1160744674?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-17 17:36","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"China’s digital yuan needs to beat Alipay, WeChat Pay before challenging dollar, researcher says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160744674","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nChina’s digital yuan will need to dethrone the country’s domestic e-payments giants firs","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nChina’s digital yuan will need to dethrone the country’s domestic e-payments giants first, before it can think of competing against the greenback internationally, says the Peterson ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/17/chinas-digital-yuan-needs-to-beat-alipay-wechat-pay-first-piie.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The country’s capital city Beijing recently handed out $1.5 million as part of a digital currency test during the Lunar New Year, following similar experiments in Shenzhen and Suzhou.\nChorzempa said one of the main reasons spurring the push for the digital yuan was the desire for a state backed and controlled alternative to incumbent giants such as the Alibaba-affiliated Alipay app and Tencent’sWechat Pay, which currently process about 95% of digital payments in China.\nUnlike most other major economies globally, mobile payments — largely through the Alipay app and Wechat Pay — has displaced cash in the last few years as the predominant form of consumer payment in China.\n″(The digital yuan) is something that’s really unprecedented among the major economies,” Chorzempa said. “China is ... by far the most advanced of any in digital currency and it’s exciting to watch.”\n‘Nothing like bitcoin or ethereum’\nTo be sure, Chorzempa said China’s digital yuan has very little in common with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, known for its high price volatility.\n“I would say the safety levels (of the digital yuan are) very high and the risk is low,” he said. “It’s designed to have the same value as any regular renminbi, so there should be no price fluctuations to worry about.”\nIntermediaries that sell the digital currency in China are also expected to be “quite safe and carefully regulated” so long as they are sanctioned by the government, Chorzempa said.\n“I wouldn’t be too worried about the safety of a digital renminbi in a central bank regulated wallet,” he added.\nBeyond China, Sweden is expected to be among the first advanced economies to launch a digital currency, according to the PIIE researcher.\nSince Facebook first proposed launching the Libra cryptocurrency, now rebranded Diem, there has been a “huge wave of interest” among central banks that are concerned that a private tech company “might take over their currency” in a similar manner to how Alipay and WeChat pay dominate payments in China, he said.\n“I expect central bank digital currencies to continue to expand around the world,” Chorzempa said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":386006432,"gmtCreate":1613104799426,"gmtModify":1634554502363,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Respond pls","listText":"Respond pls","text":"Respond pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/386006432","repostId":"1179092967","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179092967","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613100617,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179092967?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-12 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Not Just Tesla: Why Big Companies are Buying into Crypto-Mania","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179092967","media":"barrons","summary":"For months, there has beena consistent trickle of newsabout mainstream businesses getting involved in cryptocurrencies.

They understand that, but they are not aware of how big the changes will be or how fast they will happen. They have to evolve, but evolution can be messy.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":388908113,"gmtCreate":1613007038932,"gmtModify":1703768282416,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes.

And for Baidu, it marks a further effort to diversify its business well beyond advertising.\nBaidu’s Nasdaq-traded shares jumped more than 3.5% after hours. They climbed 6.67% on Tuesday.\nBaidu’s chip company would be a subsidiary, with the search giant likely to be the majority shareholder, the person said. Venture capital firms GGV and IDG Capital are involved in early stage discussions to invest in Baidu’s chip firm, the source added. Both firms have extensive investments in China.\nBaidu declined to comment when contacted by CNBC. IDG Capital was not immediately available for comment.Calls to GGV’s offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing went unanswered.\nCurrently, Baidu has an in-house chip unit that has helped to develop its Kunlun semiconductors, designed to process huge amounts of data for artificial intelligence applications. But a standalone chip company is seen helping Baidu to better commercialize its technology, the source said.\nThe semiconductor business would aim to sell chips to customers in several industries including automakers, which are currently facing a global chip shortage.\nA standalone chip maker could also tie into other parts of Baidu’s businesses, such as its driverless car software.\nDiversification flurry\nBaidu’s move is part of push by the company to diversify its broader business — an effort which since September alone has seen the Chinese technology giant raise money for a biotech firm and a standalone electric vehicle company.\nAdvertising accounts for most of Baidu’s revenue currently, but other operations are contributing a growing percentage of sales. Ad-related revenue, which the company refers to in its earnings statements as online marketing services, accounted for around 80% of total revenue in 2018. That proportion fell to 71% in the third quarter of 2020, the most recent published results.\nBaidu’s semiconductor focus comes as the Chinese government tries to boost domestic independence around that critical technology — a trend that has accelerated during China’s trade war with the United States.\nChinese internet giant Tencent, the owner of messaging app WeChat,recently invested in an AI chip start-up.\nIn 2019, e-commerce company Alibaba launched its first chip to power artificial intelligence processes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381619345,"gmtCreate":1612961284987,"gmtModify":1703767501222,"author":{"id":"3573740635771948","authorId":"3573740635771948","name":"mrsimplicity","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/176d84863e5213721f22c5815ac02fda","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573740635771948","authorIdStr":"3573740635771948"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/381619345","repostId":"1144142338","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144142338","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612954004,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1144142338?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-10 18:46","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Investors set for commodities ‘bull run’ as prices rise in tandem","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144142338","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Broad-based recent gains have not been seen in decades and spur talk of ‘supercycle’\nThe broad upswi","content":"<p>Broad-based recent gains have not been seen in decades and spur talk of ‘supercycle’</p>\n<p>The broad upswing in commodity prices since the depths of the coronavirus crisis represents just the first leg of a sector-wide “bull market” fanned by government spending, analysts and investors say.</p>\n<p>Wall Street banks are telling their clients to increase their exposure to raw materials, which are poised to benefit from a vaccine-driven global economic recovery, aided by fiscal stimulus. Some are even predicting a prolonger period of commodity-intensive growth that marks a repeat of the so-called “supercycle” of the 2000s — where oil and metal prices hit record highs as China’s rapid industrialisation caught the industry napping.</p>\n<p>“It’s easy — and largely accurate — to present the 2021 commodity outlook as a V-shaped vaccine trade,” said Goldman Sachs in a recent report. “What we think is key, however, is that this recovery in commodity prices will actually be the beginning of a much longer structural bull market for commodities.”</p>\n<p>Commodities, which have been out favour with investors for the best part of a decade, have enjoyed a strong run in recent months helped by demand from China, the world’s biggest buyer of natural resources. Soyabean prices are up more than 50 per cent over the past year, while copper has risen around 40 per cent. Oil, meanwhile, has rebounded to its highest since the early days of the coronavirus crisis. Brent, the international standard, hit $60 on Monday.</p>\n<p>The rally has been exceptionally wide-ranging. A basket of 27 commodity futures — from coffee to nickel — tracked by specialist asset manager SummerHaven showed that all had positive returns over the six months to mid-January, including any gains from rolling over futures contracts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27002730a162c7e367ac38b6ffc4ae1\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"1000\"></p>\n<p>“This is really unusual.

Some are even predicting a prolonger period of commodity-intensive growth that marks a repeat of the so-called “supercycle” of the 2000s — where oil and metal prices hit record highs as China’s rapid industrialisation caught the industry napping.\n“It’s easy — and largely accurate — to present the 2021 commodity outlook as a V-shaped vaccine trade,” said Goldman Sachs in a recent report. “What we think is key, however, is that this recovery in commodity prices will actually be the beginning of a much longer structural bull market for commodities.”\nCommodities, which have been out favour with investors for the best part of a decade, have enjoyed a strong run in recent months helped by demand from China, the world’s biggest buyer of natural resources. Soyabean prices are up more than 50 per cent over the past year, while copper has risen around 40 per cent. Oil, meanwhile, has rebounded to its highest since the early days of the coronavirus crisis. Brent, the international standard, hit $60 on Monday.\nThe rally has been exceptionally wide-ranging. A basket of 27 commodity futures — from coffee to nickel — tracked by specialist asset manager SummerHaven showed that all had positive returns over the six months to mid-January, including any gains from rolling over futures contracts.\n\n“This is really unusual.
