This $20 billion expansion will bring our total investment in Arizona to more than $50 billion since opening the site over 40 years ago.\n\"As the only U.S.-based leading-edge chipmaker, we are committed to building on this long-term investment and helping the United States regain semiconductor leadership,” Gelsinger said.\nShares of Intel on Friday traded 0.18% higher to $54.32 after hours.\nGelsinger on Thursday participated in a virtual meeting with tech company executives and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to address the global semiconductor chip shortage, which has interfered with production in the high-tech, electronics and automotive industries.\nThe two new factories, to be named Fab 52 and Fab 62, will house a total of six semiconductor fabs. The project will create over 3,000 high-tech, high-wage Intel jobs, 3,000 construction jobs and support an estimated 15,000 additional indirect jobs in the local community.\nIntel rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.plans to buildits second U.S. chip factory also in Arizona and targets production to begin in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":418,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868447130,"gmtCreate":1632702617520,"gmtModify":1632798513450,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Going to hit 5?&nbsp;","listText":"Going to hit 5?&nbsp;","text":"Going to hit 5?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3f97a7ec852d5573dfa45df13b169ae","width":"1125","height":"3588"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868447130","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":531,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868444345,"gmtCreate":1632702563187,"gmtModify":1632798514712,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG&nbsp;","text":"$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$LFG","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee7be127f5d9c5e69c7d0363c05f9d9b","width":"1242","height":"1968"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868444345","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":371,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":324317139,"gmtCreate":1615963255421,"gmtModify":1703495590418,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷] [财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/324317139","repostId":"1180610235","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180610235","pubTimestamp":1615960232,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180610235?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-17 13:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why the health-care sector — not gold — is the best inflation hedge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180610235","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Which industry historically has been the best inflation hedge?

The most crucial ingredient in that recipe is blank-check companies focused on buying electric-vehicle makers, which give both seasoned institutional and individual investors the chance to role-play as venture capitalists.</p>\n<p>“SPAC investors have been much more willing to speculate with the aim of buying ‘the next Tesla,'” said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital, adding that the soaring returns in SPAC-land&nbsp;have attracted institutional buyers as well.</p>\n<p>Some air may be leaking from the bubble, though. Tesla’s shares succumbed to the law of gravity in late February and early March, tumbling from their stratospheric heights and&nbsp;losing a stunning $277 billion in market value in a month. Those losses reversed, however, and as of Monday Tesla was worth basically the same as at the end of 2020 — eight times its valuation at the beginning of last year. Chinese rivals such as Nio, Li Auto Inc.&nbsp;and Xpeng Inc.&nbsp;were still down on the year, but had also bounced back from lows.</p>\n<p>SPACs have continued to show rampant speculation throughout, as investors looked for the types of gains those stocks enjoyed in 2020.</p>\n<p>“I think the electric-vehicle space is something where investors are chasing past returns,” said University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter, who has both invested in SPACs and shorted Tesla shares of late. “As with all bubbles, it’s hard to know where the turning point is going to be.”</p>\n<p><b>Two cautionary examples of EV hype</b></p>\n<p>Two EV companies are good examples of the caution needed by investors and the problems that exist in these early-stage ventures. Nikola Corp.&nbsp;was one of the early EV makers to get swept up and purchased by a SPAC, which then attracted an army of investors who drove prices sky high. But a short seller, Hindenburg Research, helped deflate that bubble.In September, Hindenburg published a detailed report, calling Nikola an “intricate fraud”&nbsp;and pointed out the company staged a deceiving video of a truck running on its hydrogen fuel-cell technology, when it was actually filmed slowly rolling down a hill, not running on its own power.</p>\n<p>Nikola, which surged to a peak of around $66 last July, before Hindenburg’s report, closed at $15.85 Tuesday.</p>\n<p>While Nikola could be in the vaporware camp, Lucid Motors Inc., is another story. It is seen as a legitimate potential Tesla rival, based in Newark, Calif., not far from Tesla’s Silicon Valley manufacturing site in Fremont. Lucid was founded by Peter Rawlinson, the chief engineer of the Tesla Model S, and is developing an electric luxury sedan that is expected to launch this year, as well as an electric SUV.</p>\n<p>The mania around SPACs struck Lucid as well. After news leaked in January that Lucid was about to be acquired by a SPAC called Churchill Capital Group,shares in the SPAC surged to unreasonable levels as speculators jumped in. When the merger was actually announced in late February, it included an investment from Wall Street that valued the company far less than the public had,and its shares plunged.</p>\n<p>There could be plenty more pain for speculators looking to get in on EV companies. In January alone, according to Dealogic, 90 SPACs filed to go public. While only a handful of those companies actually said they plan to focus on electric vehicles or batteries, many did not identify a target industry or market for acquisitions but did mention a sustainable focus — for example, Switchback II&nbsp;of Dallas, which raised $275 million in its January IPO, said it intends to focus on companies in the “broad energy transition or sustainability arena targeting industries that require innovative solutions to decarbonize in order to meet critical emission reduction objectives.”</p>\n<p>“Never underestimate the market’s ability to find products for people who have money. The market has more money than product right now. The shelf of near-ready IPOs was pretty bare, and laid more barren with COVID-19,” said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, in an interview late last year. “So all of a sudden, there is good money looking for public companies. It’s incredible how fast this submarket has reformed around SPACS.”</p>\n<p>Typical IPO buyers like Fidelity and Franklin Templeton are making large investments in SPACs through private investment in public equities, or PIPEs, the type of investment that pumped into Lucid as its SPAC traded much higher.</p>\n<p>SPACs represent an unusual investment opportunity, because they take place in two phases. In the first phase, the blank-check company raises money in its IPO, the pre-acquisition phase, which can offer investors a good return. They also offer investors the ability to exit, with original funds intact, if a proposed acquisition is not to the liking of the investors.</p>\n<p>So far investors have had an excellent run in SPACs in general, especially hedge funds, or the SPAC mafia, Ritter said. According to Dealogic, a total of 262 blank-check companies went public in U.S. markets in 2020, with a current average performance of 21.3% for those 2020 deals. So far for 2021 IPO SPACs, though, the current average performance is 1.95%.</p>\n<p>Ritter was so impressed with the returns that he invested in a few SPACs himself in the aftermarket, after seeing his funds in an investment account earn barely anything in interest.</p>\n<p>“There is investor enthusiasm. Even though supply has been exploding, investor demand has been growing even faster,” Ritter said, adding that most of the electric-vehicle companies have chosen to go public via a SPAC and not the standard, more costly, IPO process.</p>\n<p>SPACs are typically a better investment in the pre-acquisition phase, which can go as long as two years, the time limit set for companies to make an acquisition. Only early investors, though, are often able to receive the biggest security for their investment in SPACs. They usually receive a warrant with each share of the IPO, that entitles them to buy a share at a prearranged price. Public investors in the aftermarket deal don’t get this option,which is why hedge funds have zeroed in on SPACs as a sure thing.</p>\n<p>Ritter noted that even though he drives a Tesla himself, he has been short the stock.</p>\n<p>“When it got added to the S&amp;P 500, I shorted more shares. So far it’s been a wealth-losing activity for me,” Ritter said, adding that he also believes many investors are hoping for a repeat performance of Tesla. “Investors tend to chase past returns. Fifteen years ago it was investing in real estate, which ended badly; 21 years ago the internet bubble was about to peak.”</p>\n<p><b>EV SPACs as the new dot-com bubble</b></p>\n<p>Just as the dot-com boom and bust of 1999-2000 was often compared with the tulip mania in the 17th century of the then-Dutch Republic, it is worth asking the same question about some of the different bubbles in the market today, from the GameStop Corp.&nbsp;insanity to the electric-vehicle hype.</p>\n<p>During both the tulip boom and the dot-com boom, new and relatively unknown products were introduced, and prices (in futures contracts for tulips, stock prices for dot-com companies) reached staggering levels based on hype for potential demand that was not sustainable. Many companies like Pets.com and Webvan ultimately collapsed, with business ideas that were ahead of their time, while others took advantage of the market mania, such as WorldCom, which deceived investors with one of the biggest accounting frauds in history. Others survived and thrived, such as Amazon.com Inc.,which has soared to unbelievable heights of over $1.6 trillion in market value.</p>\n<p>As the global automotive industry goes through a similar seismic shift, investors are banking on a similar phenomenon, but with electric cars, and autonomous vehicles replacing gas-fueled combustion engines. This includes companies in China, where another crop of EV companies seek to unseat Tesla in the most populated country in the world. Currently, though, electric cars currently make up only approximately 2% of global auto sales. Estimates for the future vary broadly, from a low-end forecast of 10% to 20% of cars sold by 2030 to as much as two-thirds of the market in the same time frame.</p>\n<p>With those predicted changes on the horizon, combined with Tesla’s gigantic stock gains in 2020, including its addition to the S&amp;P 500,have led to some crazy bets on unproven or early-stage technologies once again.</p>\n<p>In 2020, 15 private electric-vehicle companies were purchased by blank-check companies and are now publicly traded, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOS and has its own IPO ETF.But most of them don’t have a proven technology or business model, little or no revenue and no profits in sight.</p>\n<p>“While this is an area with enormous potential, many of these companies are completely unproven,&nbsp;and investors have very little to go on in terms of their ability to win customers or scale manufacturing,” said Kennedy of Renaissance Capital.</p>\n<p>The U.S. EV targets of the blank check companies, such as Nikola, Lucid and Fisker Inc.,an electric-car startup in Los Angeles, have not manufactured a single electric vehicle for sale, or collected any revenue yet. But their market caps have soared, and&nbsp;the companies are promising huge gains in revenue in a short time period.</p>\n<p>These stocks have not traded on profit or revenue, but on pure speculation. Fisker saw its shares soar nearly 40% after&nbsp;a memo of understanding with Foxconn Technology Group,the manufacturer of Apple Inc.’s&nbsp;iPhones, to jointly produce more than 250,000 electric SUVs, possibly at FoxConn’s new factory in Wisconsin. The deal is for Fisker’s second model, and manufacturing would begin at the end of 2023, as it adopts a sort of Uber-like approach to contracting out high costs.</p>\n<p>The history of Fisker shows why investors should be concerned. The original company, Fisker Automotive, went bankrupt in 2013, and its assets were purchased by a Chinese auto-parts company that has retained some brand rights and started up Fisker Inc. while saying goodbye to the founder who gave the company its name. Fisker’s first product, an electric SUV called the Ocean, is expected to be launched in late 2022.</p>\n<p>These are the types of investments that are more appropriate for venture capitalists, who are used to betting on companies without revenue or profits or even a product. The list of companies targeted by SPACs looking at the EV market or the sustainable-energy arena also includes companies making electric batteries, charging-station makers, and other components for EVs and AVs, such as Lidar.</p>\n<p>Velodyne Lidar Inc.,makes technology that is used as part of the vision system in autonomous vehicles, and is now in the middle of a post-SPAC war. David Hall, who founded the Morgan Hill, Calif.-based company, and his wife are sparring with the investors&nbsp;who purchased Velodyne Lidar,and took the company public via a SPAC late last year. But since then, the Halls and Velodyne’s acquirers had a falling out.</p>\n<p>Last month, the company named a new chairman and chief marketing officer following an investigation into the conduct of David Hall and Marta Thoma Hall, who held those positions, respectively, and terminated Marta Hall’s employment.</p>\n<p>“The investigation concluded that Mr.&nbsp;Hall and Ms.&nbsp;Hall each behaved inappropriately with regard to board and company processes, and failed to operate with respect, honesty, integrity, and candor in their dealings with company officers and directors,”Velodyne said in a statement&nbsp;and regulatory filing in late February.</p>\n<p>The two remain directors of the company that ousted them, as well as majority owners, with a 58.4% ownership of common stock in Velodyne.</p>\n<p>“To be completely clear: I chose to resign from the board because I had numerous concerns about the strategic direction and current leadership of Velodyne Lidar,” David Hall said in a statement last week. “I firmly believe that the board has fostered an anti-stockholder culture and that Velodyne Lidar’s corporate governance is broken. Perhaps most unsettling was the board’s decision to rubber-stamp an increased compensation package for Mr. [Anand] Gopalan despite the Company releasing weak Q4 2020 earnings and missing year-end forecasts.”</p>\n<p>Gopalan is Veloydyne’s chief executive.</p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, Hall told The Wall Street Journal that the moves were a “well-played-out plan to hijack the corporation by the SPAC guys.” The Halls were not immediately available for an interview, their spokesman said.</p>\n<p>The Velodyne saga is one that can often happen at startup companies that are not yet ready for prime time, when entrenched founders spar with their investors. One high-profile example that did made its way into the press in recent years was when VC investors&nbsp;pushed for the ouster of co-founder Travis Kalanick&nbsp;at Uber Technologies,long before the company went public.</p>\n<p>So while SPACs may represent the democratization of venture-capital investing, where average retail investors have a more even playing field with Silicon Valley venture capitalists, getting in at the very early stages of young companies, it is also the democratizing the huge amounts of risk that are typically borne by professional investors. But unlike venture capitalists, who spread out their investments across a group of at least 10 various young or high-risk companies, knowing that most will fail as they hope to hit one big winner, individuals have a lot more to lose.</p>\n<p>“The SPACs we are seeing now are focused on somewhat VC-like companies. Many of these companies don’t have revenue, they don’t have positive cash flow or earnings. It’s kind of like a VC in a liquid form, via a SPAC,” said Robert Davis, a partner and chief investment officer of Round Table Wealth Management. “Not all these SPACs are going to be great.”</p>\n<p>There is a lot of risk in many of these deals, especially in the “pre-revenue” bunch.</p>\n<p>“This is a little bit like in the Middle Ages, alchemists would take base metal and turn it into gold,” said Sandeep Dahiya, associate professor of entrepreneurship at&nbsp;Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business.“SPACs are like that: ‘Here, give us your money and we will try to make you rich.’ Let’s see how that plays out.”</p>\n<p>For most investors, especially the average retail investor who did not get in early like the hedge funds, it will likely not end well in the short term. Anyone who is betting on long-term returns will need to choose wisely, and be wary of the SPAC flavor of the day.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

the record number of special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, going public; and investors looking for the next Tesla. The most crucial ingredient in that recipe is blank-check companies focused on buying electric-vehicle makers, which give both seasoned institutional and individual investors the chance to role-play as venture capitalists.\n“SPAC investors have been much more willing to speculate with the aim of buying ‘the next Tesla,'” said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital, adding that the soaring returns in SPAC-land have attracted institutional buyers as well.\nSome air may be leaking from the bubble, though. Tesla’s shares succumbed to the law of gravity in late February and early March, tumbling from their stratospheric heights and losing a stunning $277 billion in market value in a month. Those losses reversed, however, and as of Monday Tesla was worth basically the same as at the end of 2020 — eight times its valuation at the beginning of last year. Chinese rivals such as Nio, Li Auto Inc. and Xpeng Inc. were still down on the year, but had also bounced back from lows.\nSPACs have continued to show rampant speculation throughout, as investors looked for the types of gains those stocks enjoyed in 2020.\n“I think the electric-vehicle space is something where investors are chasing past returns,” said University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter, who has both invested in SPACs and shorted Tesla shares of late. “As with all bubbles, it’s hard to know where the turning point is going to be.”\nTwo cautionary examples of EV hype\nTwo EV companies are good examples of the caution needed by investors and the problems that exist in these early-stage ventures. Nikola Corp. was one of the early EV makers to get swept up and purchased by a SPAC, which then attracted an army of investors who drove prices sky high. But a short seller, Hindenburg Research, helped deflate that bubble.In September, Hindenburg published a detailed report, calling Nikola an “intricate fraud” and pointed out the company staged a deceiving video of a truck running on its hydrogen fuel-cell technology, when it was actually filmed slowly rolling down a hill, not running on its own power.\nNikola, which surged to a peak of around $66 last July, before Hindenburg’s report, closed at $15.85 Tuesday.\nWhile Nikola could be in the vaporware camp, Lucid Motors Inc., is another story. It is seen as a legitimate potential Tesla rival, based in Newark, Calif., not far from Tesla’s Silicon Valley manufacturing site in Fremont. Lucid was founded by Peter Rawlinson, the chief engineer of the Tesla Model S, and is developing an electric luxury sedan that is expected to launch this year, as well as an electric SUV.\nThe mania around SPACs struck Lucid as well. After news leaked in January that Lucid was about to be acquired by a SPAC called Churchill Capital Group,shares in the SPAC surged to unreasonable levels as speculators jumped in. When the merger was actually announced in late February, it included an investment from Wall Street that valued the company far less than the public had,and its shares plunged.\nThere could be plenty more pain for speculators looking to get in on EV companies. In January alone, according to Dealogic, 90 SPACs filed to go public. While only a handful of those companies actually said they plan to focus on electric vehicles or batteries, many did not identify a target industry or market for acquisitions but did mention a sustainable focus — for example, Switchback II of Dallas, which raised $275 million in its January IPO, said it intends to focus on companies in the “broad energy transition or sustainability arena targeting industries that require innovative solutions to decarbonize in order to meet critical emission reduction objectives.”\n“Never underestimate the market’s ability to find products for people who have money. The market has more money than product right now. The shelf of near-ready IPOs was pretty bare, and laid more barren with COVID-19,” said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, in an interview late last year. “So all of a sudden, there is good money looking for public companies. It’s incredible how fast this submarket has reformed around SPACS.”\nTypical IPO buyers like Fidelity and Franklin Templeton are making large investments in SPACs through private investment in public equities, or PIPEs, the type of investment that pumped into Lucid as its SPAC traded much higher.\nSPACs represent an unusual investment opportunity, because they take place in two phases. In the first phase, the blank-check company raises money in its IPO, the pre-acquisition phase, which can offer investors a good return. They also offer investors the ability to exit, with original funds intact, if a proposed acquisition is not to the liking of the investors.\nSo far investors have had an excellent run in SPACs in general, especially hedge funds, or the SPAC mafia, Ritter said. According to Dealogic, a total of 262 blank-check companies went public in U.S. markets in 2020, with a current average performance of 21.3% for those 2020 deals. So far for 2021 IPO SPACs, though, the current average performance is 1.95%.\nRitter was so impressed with the returns that he invested in a few SPACs himself in the aftermarket, after seeing his funds in an investment account earn barely anything in interest.\n“There is investor enthusiasm. Even though supply has been exploding, investor demand has been growing even faster,” Ritter said, adding that most of the electric-vehicle companies have chosen to go public via a SPAC and not the standard, more costly, IPO process.\nSPACs are typically a better investment in the pre-acquisition phase, which can go as long as two years, the time limit set for companies to make an acquisition. Only early investors, though, are often able to receive the biggest security for their investment in SPACs. They usually receive a warrant with each share of the IPO, that entitles them to buy a share at a prearranged price. Public investors in the aftermarket deal don’t get this option,which is why hedge funds have zeroed in on SPACs as a sure thing.\nRitter noted that even though he drives a Tesla himself, he has been short the stock.\n“When it got added to the S&P 500, I shorted more shares. So far it’s been a wealth-losing activity for me,” Ritter said, adding that he also believes many investors are hoping for a repeat performance of Tesla. “Investors tend to chase past returns. Fifteen years ago it was investing in real estate, which ended badly; 21 years ago the internet bubble was about to peak.”\nEV SPACs as the new dot-com bubble\nJust as the dot-com boom and bust of 1999-2000 was often compared with the tulip mania in the 17th century of the then-Dutch Republic, it is worth asking the same question about some of the different bubbles in the market today, from the GameStop Corp. insanity to the electric-vehicle hype.\nDuring both the tulip boom and the dot-com boom, new and relatively unknown products were introduced, and prices (in futures contracts for tulips, stock prices for dot-com companies) reached staggering levels based on hype for potential demand that was not sustainable. Many companies like Pets.com and Webvan ultimately collapsed, with business ideas that were ahead of their time, while others took advantage of the market mania, such as WorldCom, which deceived investors with one of the biggest accounting frauds in history. Others survived and thrived, such as Amazon.com Inc.,which has soared to unbelievable heights of over $1.6 trillion in market value.\nAs the global automotive industry goes through a similar seismic shift, investors are banking on a similar phenomenon, but with electric cars, and autonomous vehicles replacing gas-fueled combustion engines. This includes companies in China, where another crop of EV companies seek to unseat Tesla in the most populated country in the world. Currently, though, electric cars currently make up only approximately 2% of global auto sales. Estimates for the future vary broadly, from a low-end forecast of 10% to 20% of cars sold by 2030 to as much as two-thirds of the market in the same time frame.\nWith those predicted changes on the horizon, combined with Tesla’s gigantic stock gains in 2020, including its addition to the S&P 500,have led to some crazy bets on unproven or early-stage technologies once again.\nIn 2020, 15 private electric-vehicle companies were purchased by blank-check companies and are now publicly traded, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOS and has its own IPO ETF.But most of them don’t have a proven technology or business model, little or no revenue and no profits in sight.\n“While this is an area with enormous potential, many of these companies are completely unproven, and investors have very little to go on in terms of their ability to win customers or scale manufacturing,” said Kennedy of Renaissance Capital.\nThe U.S. EV targets of the blank check companies, such as Nikola, Lucid and Fisker Inc.,an electric-car startup in Los Angeles, have not manufactured a single electric vehicle for sale, or collected any revenue yet. But their market caps have soared, and the companies are promising huge gains in revenue in a short time period.\nThese stocks have not traded on profit or revenue, but on pure speculation. Fisker saw its shares soar nearly 40% after a memo of understanding with Foxconn Technology Group,the manufacturer of Apple Inc.’s iPhones, to jointly produce more than 250,000 electric SUVs, possibly at FoxConn’s new factory in Wisconsin. The deal is for Fisker’s second model, and manufacturing would begin at the end of 2023, as it adopts a sort of Uber-like approach to contracting out high costs.\nThe history of Fisker shows why investors should be concerned. The original company, Fisker Automotive, went bankrupt in 2013, and its assets were purchased by a Chinese auto-parts company that has retained some brand rights and started up Fisker Inc. while saying goodbye to the founder who gave the company its name. Fisker’s first product, an electric SUV called the Ocean, is expected to be launched in late 2022.\nThese are the types of investments that are more appropriate for venture capitalists, who are used to betting on companies without revenue or profits or even a product. The list of companies targeted by SPACs looking at the EV market or the sustainable-energy arena also includes companies making electric batteries, charging-station makers, and other components for EVs and AVs, such as Lidar.\nVelodyne Lidar Inc.,makes technology that is used as part of the vision system in autonomous vehicles, and is now in the middle of a post-SPAC war. David Hall, who founded the Morgan Hill, Calif.-based company, and his wife are sparring with the investors who purchased Velodyne Lidar,and took the company public via a SPAC late last year. But since then, the Halls and Velodyne’s acquirers had a falling out.\nLast month, the company named a new chairman and chief marketing officer following an investigation into the conduct of David Hall and Marta Thoma Hall, who held those positions, respectively, and terminated Marta Hall’s employment.\n“The investigation concluded that Mr. Hall and Ms. Hall each behaved inappropriately with regard to board and company processes, and failed to operate with respect, honesty, integrity, and candor in their dealings with company officers and directors,”Velodyne said in a statement and regulatory filing in late February.\nThe two remain directors of the company that ousted them, as well as majority owners, with a 58.4% ownership of common stock in Velodyne.\n“To be completely clear: I chose to resign from the board because I had numerous concerns about the strategic direction and current leadership of Velodyne Lidar,” David Hall said in a statement last week. “I firmly believe that the board has fostered an anti-stockholder culture and that Velodyne Lidar’s corporate governance is broken. Perhaps most unsettling was the board’s decision to rubber-stamp an increased compensation package for Mr. [Anand] Gopalan despite the Company releasing weak Q4 2020 earnings and missing year-end forecasts.”\nGopalan is Veloydyne’s chief executive.\nA few weeks ago, Hall told The Wall Street Journal that the moves were a “well-played-out plan to hijack the corporation by the SPAC guys.” The Halls were not immediately available for an interview, their spokesman said.\nThe Velodyne saga is one that can often happen at startup companies that are not yet ready for prime time, when entrenched founders spar with their investors. One high-profile example that did made its way into the press in recent years was when VC investors pushed for the ouster of co-founder Travis Kalanick at Uber Technologies,long before the company went public.\nSo while SPACs may represent the democratization of venture-capital investing, where average retail investors have a more even playing field with Silicon Valley venture capitalists, getting in at the very early stages of young companies, it is also the democratizing the huge amounts of risk that are typically borne by professional investors. But unlike venture capitalists, who spread out their investments across a group of at least 10 various young or high-risk companies, knowing that most will fail as they hope to hit one big winner, individuals have a lot more to lose.\n“The SPACs we are seeing now are focused on somewhat VC-like companies. Many of these companies don’t have revenue, they don’t have positive cash flow or earnings. It’s kind of like a VC in a liquid form, via a SPAC,” said Robert Davis, a partner and chief investment officer of Round Table Wealth Management. “Not all these SPACs are going to be great.”\nThere is a lot of risk in many of these deals, especially in the “pre-revenue” bunch.\n“This is a little bit like in the Middle Ages, alchemists would take base metal and turn it into gold,” said Sandeep Dahiya, associate professor of entrepreneurship at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business.“SPACs are like that: ‘Here, give us your money and we will try to make you rich.’ Let’s see how that plays out.”\nFor most investors, especially the average retail investor who did not get in early like the hedge funds, it will likely not end well in the short term. Anyone who is betting on long-term returns will need to choose wisely, and be wary of the SPAC flavor of the day.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":365285673,"gmtCreate":1614746057192,"gmtModify":1703480592489,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/365285673","repostId":"1169386190","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169386190","pubTimestamp":1614743782,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1169386190?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-03 11:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Making A List Of The Top Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch? 4 Names To Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169386190","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"Are These The Best Cryptocurrency Stocks For Your Watchlist?Sponsored LinksBuying a Mattress in Hong","content":"<p>Are These The Best Cryptocurrency Stocks For Your Watchlist?Sponsored LinksBuying a Mattress in Hong Kong? Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress</p>\n<p><b>Cryptocurrencies</b>have and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?</p>\n<p>According to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.</p>\n<p>Top Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: FTFT)</li>\n <li><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: RIOT)</li>\n <li><b>SOS Limited</b>(NYSE: SOS)</li>\n <li><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MSTR)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b></p>\n<p>For starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.</p>\n<p>If anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.</p>\n<p>Notably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?</p>\n<p><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Just last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.</p>\n<p>Moreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?</p>\n<p><b>SOS Limited</b></p>\n<p>SOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.</p>\n<p>In terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?</p>\n<p><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Another cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Diving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.</p>\n<p>According to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark.

Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress\nCryptocurrencieshave and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?\nAccording to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.\nTop Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.(NASDAQ: FTFT)\nRiot Blockchain Inc.(NASDAQ: RIOT)\nSOS Limited(NYSE: SOS)\nMicroStrategy Inc.(NASDAQ: MSTR)\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.\nFor starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.\nIf anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.\nNotably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?\nRiot Blockchain Inc.\nFollowing that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.\nJust last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.\nMoreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?\nSOS Limited\nSOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.\nIn terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.\nFurthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?\nMicroStrategy Inc.\nAnother cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.\nDiving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.\nAccording to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark. This paired with its apparent move towards building a blockchain analytics team could bode well for MSTR stock moving forward.

Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress</p>\n<p><b>Cryptocurrencies</b>have and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?</p>\n<p>According to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.</p>\n<p>Top Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: FTFT)</li>\n <li><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: RIOT)</li>\n <li><b>SOS Limited</b>(NYSE: SOS)</li>\n <li><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: MSTR)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Future FinTech Group Inc.</b></p>\n<p>For starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.</p>\n<p>If anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.</p>\n<p>Notably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?</p>\n<p><b>Riot Blockchain Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Following that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p>Just last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.</p>\n<p>Moreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?</p>\n<p><b>SOS Limited</b></p>\n<p>SOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.</p>\n<p>In terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?</p>\n<p><b>MicroStrategy Inc.</b></p>\n<p>Another cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Diving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.</p>\n<p>According to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark. This paired with its apparent move towards building a blockchain analytics team could bode well for MSTR stock moving forward.

Check Out Our Shopping GuideSkyler Mattress\nCryptocurrencieshave and continue to be a hot topic of discussion even as we enter March. Accordingly, investors looking to profit off this trend have flocked towards thetop cryptocurrency stocks. This would be thanks to the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. As a result, companies such as Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) that mine bitcoins are in the limelight now. Other cryptocurrencies making waves now would be Ethereum which has more than doubled in value year-to-date and Dogecoin. Particularly, the latter is up by over 1,000% year-to-date thanks to endorsements from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. These figures seem impressive, yes, but the real question is how viable are cryptocurrencies in this age?\nAccording to Citibank (NYSE: C), Bitcoin may “become the currency of choice for international trade” one day. Evidently, we can see more mainstream companies beginning to adopt the cryptocurrency as a legitimate form of payment. For example, Tesla revealed plans to do so last month as it acquired $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. Another major company that has already made this shift is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). At the same time, fintech players like PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) now facilitate Bitcoin-related transactions as well. Regardless, investors may not be too keen on investing directly into the currency, given its volatility. Instead, they would turn towards companies with financial interests in Bitcoin. Well, if you are among them, here are four to consider.\nTop Cryptocurrency Stocks To Watch This Week\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.(NASDAQ: FTFT)\nRiot Blockchain Inc.(NASDAQ: RIOT)\nSOS Limited(NYSE: SOS)\nMicroStrategy Inc.(NASDAQ: MSTR)\n\nFuture FinTech Group Inc.\nFor starters, Future FinTech is a cryptocurrency company that is in focus now. In brief, it is a leading blockchain-based e-commerce business and fintech service, provider. The company’s main operations include a blockchain-based online shopping mall platform, a cross-border e-commerce platform, and a blockchain project incubator. Through all of this, Future FinTech develops blockchain tech and services.\nIf anything, the company could be in a good position to benefit from the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. As such, FTFT stock has more than tripled in value year-to-date. Aside from overall upward movement in the industry, the company also made a major announcement over the weekend.\nNotably, Future FinTech revealed that it signed an agreement with Sichuan Longma Electronic Technology (Longma). In detail, the company acquired a 60% equity interest in Longma’s subsidiary Sichuan Ticode Supply Chain Management (Ticode). Why does this matter? Well, Ticode offers financial services that focus on the supply chain industry. Primarily, this is in terms of electronic components, tech services, and supply chain data management. According to CEO Shanchun Huang, this would improve the value chain of Future FinTech’s fintech services. Given all of this, will you be watching FTFT stock?\nRiot Blockchain Inc.\nFollowing that, we will be looking at Colorado-based Bitcoin miner, Riot. For some context, the company focuses on building, supporting, and operating blockchain technology ecosystems. It is also one of the few NASDAQ-listed bitcoin mining companies in the U.S. at the moment. With the recent rise of Bitcoin, RIOT stock has also been on a tear. The company’s shares are currently sitting on gains of over 1,400% in the past six months. Nevertheless, Riot does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.\nJust last month, the company made several key announcements. First off, Riot appointed Jason Les as its new CEO on February 8. Les brings over 7 years of experience as a Bitcoin miner and blockchain technology engineer. Admittedly, this move makes sense as Riot has been expanding its Bitcoin mining capabilities over the past year. Also, the company received over 2,000 next-generation cryptocurrency miners (Antminers) from bitcoin-mining tech company, Bitmain on February 11. This further enhanced the company’s mining capabilities with a mining fleet of over 11,500 Antminers.\nMoreover, the company mentioned that it has placed orders for another 26,100 Antminers. These will be fulfilled via scheduled monthly shipments through October 2021. According to Les, this means that Riot remains on schedule to triple its current mining capacity by Q4 2021. Given the company’s current momentum, will you be adding RIOT stock to your watchlist?\nSOS Limited\nSOS is an emerging blockchain-based and big data-driven marketing and solution provider. Together with other cryptocurrency stocks, SOS stock jumped by over 40% during intraday trading yesterday. For one thing, SOS is one of the newer players on the cryptocurrency scene. At the moment, the company is working to roll out its mining infrastructure. On top of that, it has plans to develop insurance and security management solutions for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. As with most assets, cryptocurrency owners would require a means of keeping things secure. Given SOS’s current trajectory it could help to fill this demand in the future. Not to mention, the company also serves several booming end markets via its marketing data arm. These include but are not limited to the cloud computing, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence industries.\nIn terms of cryptocurrency-related business, SOS provided a key update on its cloud crypto mining center last week. On Thursday, the company revealed that it entered into a definitive agreement with Leibodong Hydropower Station (Leibodong). With this agreement, Leibodong will provide SOS with electricity and house its crypto mining rigs for a term of three years. Having secured a location, SOS is now another step closer to setting up its cloud mining operations.\nFurthermore, the company also announced that it received 5,000 additional crypto mining rigs as well. Time will tell if SOS can make the most of its current mining infrastructure once it is set up. For now, would you consider watching SOS stock?\nMicroStrategy Inc.\nAnother cryptocurrency player in the spotlight now would be MicroStrategy. In summary, the company offers business intelligence and cloud-based services. But, MSTR stock is on a tear now thanks to its growing Bitcoin reserves. Thanks to CEO Michael Saylor’s adamant belief in the cryptocurrency, MicroStrategy has become a go-to for many crypto investors. Subsequently, this would explain MSTR stock’s year-to-date gains of over 80%. In particular, after gaining by 4% yesterday, MicroStrategy made yet another purchase of bitcoins.\nDiving right into it, the company revealed that it had bought 328 bitcoins for $15 million in cash. All in all, this puts MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin count up to about 90,859, raising its total Bitcoin holdings above the $4 billion mark. Coupled with its earlier $1 billion investment into the cryptocurrency, I can see why crypto investors would be keen to invest in MSTR stock.\nAccording to Saylor, the company’s current reserve was purchased at a price of around $2.186 billion. Given Bitcoin’s current valuation, this would put the company at a profit around the $2 billion mark. This paired with its apparent move towards building a blockchain analytics team could bode well for MSTR stock moving forward.

The most crucial ingredient in that recipe is blank-check companies focused on buying electric-vehicle makers, which give both seasoned institutional and individual investors the chance to role-play as venture capitalists.</p>\n<p>“SPAC investors have been much more willing to speculate with the aim of buying ‘the next Tesla,'” said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital, adding that the soaring returns in SPAC-land&nbsp;have attracted institutional buyers as well.</p>\n<p>Some air may be leaking from the bubble, though. Tesla’s shares succumbed to the law of gravity in late February and early March, tumbling from their stratospheric heights and&nbsp;losing a stunning $277 billion in market value in a month. Those losses reversed, however, and as of Monday Tesla was worth basically the same as at the end of 2020 — eight times its valuation at the beginning of last year. Chinese rivals such as Nio, Li Auto Inc.&nbsp;and Xpeng Inc.&nbsp;were still down on the year, but had also bounced back from lows.</p>\n<p>SPACs have continued to show rampant speculation throughout, as investors looked for the types of gains those stocks enjoyed in 2020.</p>\n<p>“I think the electric-vehicle space is something where investors are chasing past returns,” said University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter, who has both invested in SPACs and shorted Tesla shares of late. “As with all bubbles, it’s hard to know where the turning point is going to be.”</p>\n<p><b>Two cautionary examples of EV hype</b></p>\n<p>Two EV companies are good examples of the caution needed by investors and the problems that exist in these early-stage ventures. Nikola Corp.&nbsp;was one of the early EV makers to get swept up and purchased by a SPAC, which then attracted an army of investors who drove prices sky high. But a short seller, Hindenburg Research, helped deflate that bubble.In September, Hindenburg published a detailed report, calling Nikola an “intricate fraud”&nbsp;and pointed out the company staged a deceiving video of a truck running on its hydrogen fuel-cell technology, when it was actually filmed slowly rolling down a hill, not running on its own power.</p>\n<p>Nikola, which surged to a peak of around $66 last July, before Hindenburg’s report, closed at $15.85 Tuesday.</p>\n<p>While Nikola could be in the vaporware camp, Lucid Motors Inc., is another story. It is seen as a legitimate potential Tesla rival, based in Newark, Calif., not far from Tesla’s Silicon Valley manufacturing site in Fremont. Lucid was founded by Peter Rawlinson, the chief engineer of the Tesla Model S, and is developing an electric luxury sedan that is expected to launch this year, as well as an electric SUV.</p>\n<p>The mania around SPACs struck Lucid as well. After news leaked in January that Lucid was about to be acquired by a SPAC called Churchill Capital Group,shares in the SPAC surged to unreasonable levels as speculators jumped in. When the merger was actually announced in late February, it included an investment from Wall Street that valued the company far less than the public had,and its shares plunged.</p>\n<p>There could be plenty more pain for speculators looking to get in on EV companies. In January alone, according to Dealogic, 90 SPACs filed to go public. While only a handful of those companies actually said they plan to focus on electric vehicles or batteries, many did not identify a target industry or market for acquisitions but did mention a sustainable focus — for example, Switchback II&nbsp;of Dallas, which raised $275 million in its January IPO, said it intends to focus on companies in the “broad energy transition or sustainability arena targeting industries that require innovative solutions to decarbonize in order to meet critical emission reduction objectives.”</p>\n<p>“Never underestimate the market’s ability to find products for people who have money. The market has more money than product right now. The shelf of near-ready IPOs was pretty bare, and laid more barren with COVID-19,” said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, in an interview late last year. “So all of a sudden, there is good money looking for public companies. It’s incredible how fast this submarket has reformed around SPACS.”</p>\n<p>Typical IPO buyers like Fidelity and Franklin Templeton are making large investments in SPACs through private investment in public equities, or PIPEs, the type of investment that pumped into Lucid as its SPAC traded much higher.</p>\n<p>SPACs represent an unusual investment opportunity, because they take place in two phases. In the first phase, the blank-check company raises money in its IPO, the pre-acquisition phase, which can offer investors a good return. They also offer investors the ability to exit, with original funds intact, if a proposed acquisition is not to the liking of the investors.</p>\n<p>So far investors have had an excellent run in SPACs in general, especially hedge funds, or the SPAC mafia, Ritter said. According to Dealogic, a total of 262 blank-check companies went public in U.S. markets in 2020, with a current average performance of 21.3% for those 2020 deals. So far for 2021 IPO SPACs, though, the current average performance is 1.95%.</p>\n<p>Ritter was so impressed with the returns that he invested in a few SPACs himself in the aftermarket, after seeing his funds in an investment account earn barely anything in interest.</p>\n<p>“There is investor enthusiasm. Even though supply has been exploding, investor demand has been growing even faster,” Ritter said, adding that most of the electric-vehicle companies have chosen to go public via a SPAC and not the standard, more costly, IPO process.</p>\n<p>SPACs are typically a better investment in the pre-acquisition phase, which can go as long as two years, the time limit set for companies to make an acquisition. Only early investors, though, are often able to receive the biggest security for their investment in SPACs. They usually receive a warrant with each share of the IPO, that entitles them to buy a share at a prearranged price. Public investors in the aftermarket deal don’t get this option,which is why hedge funds have zeroed in on SPACs as a sure thing.</p>\n<p>Ritter noted that even though he drives a Tesla himself, he has been short the stock.</p>\n<p>“When it got added to the S&amp;P 500, I shorted more shares. So far it’s been a wealth-losing activity for me,” Ritter said, adding that he also believes many investors are hoping for a repeat performance of Tesla. “Investors tend to chase past returns. Fifteen years ago it was investing in real estate, which ended badly; 21 years ago the internet bubble was about to peak.”</p>\n<p><b>EV SPACs as the new dot-com bubble</b></p>\n<p>Just as the dot-com boom and bust of 1999-2000 was often compared with the tulip mania in the 17th century of the then-Dutch Republic, it is worth asking the same question about some of the different bubbles in the market today, from the GameStop Corp.&nbsp;insanity to the electric-vehicle hype.</p>\n<p>During both the tulip boom and the dot-com boom, new and relatively unknown products were introduced, and prices (in futures contracts for tulips, stock prices for dot-com companies) reached staggering levels based on hype for potential demand that was not sustainable. Many companies like Pets.com and Webvan ultimately collapsed, with business ideas that were ahead of their time, while others took advantage of the market mania, such as WorldCom, which deceived investors with one of the biggest accounting frauds in history. Others survived and thrived, such as Amazon.com Inc.,which has soared to unbelievable heights of over $1.6 trillion in market value.</p>\n<p>As the global automotive industry goes through a similar seismic shift, investors are banking on a similar phenomenon, but with electric cars, and autonomous vehicles replacing gas-fueled combustion engines. This includes companies in China, where another crop of EV companies seek to unseat Tesla in the most populated country in the world. Currently, though, electric cars currently make up only approximately 2% of global auto sales. Estimates for the future vary broadly, from a low-end forecast of 10% to 20% of cars sold by 2030 to as much as two-thirds of the market in the same time frame.</p>\n<p>With those predicted changes on the horizon, combined with Tesla’s gigantic stock gains in 2020, including its addition to the S&amp;P 500,have led to some crazy bets on unproven or early-stage technologies once again.</p>\n<p>In 2020, 15 private electric-vehicle companies were purchased by blank-check companies and are now publicly traded, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOS and has its own IPO ETF.But most of them don’t have a proven technology or business model, little or no revenue and no profits in sight.</p>\n<p>“While this is an area with enormous potential, many of these companies are completely unproven,&nbsp;and investors have very little to go on in terms of their ability to win customers or scale manufacturing,” said Kennedy of Renaissance Capital.</p>\n<p>The U.S. EV targets of the blank check companies, such as Nikola, Lucid and Fisker Inc.,an electric-car startup in Los Angeles, have not manufactured a single electric vehicle for sale, or collected any revenue yet. But their market caps have soared, and&nbsp;the companies are promising huge gains in revenue in a short time period.</p>\n<p>These stocks have not traded on profit or revenue, but on pure speculation. Fisker saw its shares soar nearly 40% after&nbsp;a memo of understanding with Foxconn Technology Group,the manufacturer of Apple Inc.’s&nbsp;iPhones, to jointly produce more than 250,000 electric SUVs, possibly at FoxConn’s new factory in Wisconsin. The deal is for Fisker’s second model, and manufacturing would begin at the end of 2023, as it adopts a sort of Uber-like approach to contracting out high costs.</p>\n<p>The history of Fisker shows why investors should be concerned. The original company, Fisker Automotive, went bankrupt in 2013, and its assets were purchased by a Chinese auto-parts company that has retained some brand rights and started up Fisker Inc. while saying goodbye to the founder who gave the company its name. Fisker’s first product, an electric SUV called the Ocean, is expected to be launched in late 2022.</p>\n<p>These are the types of investments that are more appropriate for venture capitalists, who are used to betting on companies without revenue or profits or even a product. The list of companies targeted by SPACs looking at the EV market or the sustainable-energy arena also includes companies making electric batteries, charging-station makers, and other components for EVs and AVs, such as Lidar.</p>\n<p>Velodyne Lidar Inc.,makes technology that is used as part of the vision system in autonomous vehicles, and is now in the middle of a post-SPAC war. David Hall, who founded the Morgan Hill, Calif.-based company, and his wife are sparring with the investors&nbsp;who purchased Velodyne Lidar,and took the company public via a SPAC late last year. But since then, the Halls and Velodyne’s acquirers had a falling out.</p>\n<p>Last month, the company named a new chairman and chief marketing officer following an investigation into the conduct of David Hall and Marta Thoma Hall, who held those positions, respectively, and terminated Marta Hall’s employment.</p>\n<p>“The investigation concluded that Mr.&nbsp;Hall and Ms.&nbsp;Hall each behaved inappropriately with regard to board and company processes, and failed to operate with respect, honesty, integrity, and candor in their dealings with company officers and directors,”Velodyne said in a statement&nbsp;and regulatory filing in late February.</p>\n<p>The two remain directors of the company that ousted them, as well as majority owners, with a 58.4% ownership of common stock in Velodyne.</p>\n<p>“To be completely clear: I chose to resign from the board because I had numerous concerns about the strategic direction and current leadership of Velodyne Lidar,” David Hall said in a statement last week. “I firmly believe that the board has fostered an anti-stockholder culture and that Velodyne Lidar’s corporate governance is broken. Perhaps most unsettling was the board’s decision to rubber-stamp an increased compensation package for Mr. [Anand] Gopalan despite the Company releasing weak Q4 2020 earnings and missing year-end forecasts.”</p>\n<p>Gopalan is Veloydyne’s chief executive.</p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, Hall told The Wall Street Journal that the moves were a “well-played-out plan to hijack the corporation by the SPAC guys.” The Halls were not immediately available for an interview, their spokesman said.</p>\n<p>The Velodyne saga is one that can often happen at startup companies that are not yet ready for prime time, when entrenched founders spar with their investors. One high-profile example that did made its way into the press in recent years was when VC investors&nbsp;pushed for the ouster of co-founder Travis Kalanick&nbsp;at Uber Technologies,long before the company went public.</p>\n<p>So while SPACs may represent the democratization of venture-capital investing, where average retail investors have a more even playing field with Silicon Valley venture capitalists, getting in at the very early stages of young companies, it is also the democratizing the huge amounts of risk that are typically borne by professional investors. But unlike venture capitalists, who spread out their investments across a group of at least 10 various young or high-risk companies, knowing that most will fail as they hope to hit one big winner, individuals have a lot more to lose.</p>\n<p>“The SPACs we are seeing now are focused on somewhat VC-like companies. Many of these companies don’t have revenue, they don’t have positive cash flow or earnings. It’s kind of like a VC in a liquid form, via a SPAC,” said Robert Davis, a partner and chief investment officer of Round Table Wealth Management. “Not all these SPACs are going to be great.”</p>\n<p>There is a lot of risk in many of these deals, especially in the “pre-revenue” bunch.</p>\n<p>“This is a little bit like in the Middle Ages, alchemists would take base metal and turn it into gold,” said Sandeep Dahiya, associate professor of entrepreneurship at&nbsp;Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business.“SPACs are like that: ‘Here, give us your money and we will try to make you rich.’ Let’s see how that plays out.”</p>\n<p>For most investors, especially the average retail investor who did not get in early like the hedge funds, it will likely not end well in the short term. Anyone who is betting on long-term returns will need to choose wisely, and be wary of the SPAC flavor of the day.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

the record number of special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, going public; and investors looking for the next Tesla. The most crucial ingredient in that recipe is blank-check companies focused on buying electric-vehicle makers, which give both seasoned institutional and individual investors the chance to role-play as venture capitalists.\n“SPAC investors have been much more willing to speculate with the aim of buying ‘the next Tesla,'” said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital, adding that the soaring returns in SPAC-land have attracted institutional buyers as well.\nSome air may be leaking from the bubble, though. Tesla’s shares succumbed to the law of gravity in late February and early March, tumbling from their stratospheric heights and losing a stunning $277 billion in market value in a month. Those losses reversed, however, and as of Monday Tesla was worth basically the same as at the end of 2020 — eight times its valuation at the beginning of last year. Chinese rivals such as Nio, Li Auto Inc. and Xpeng Inc. were still down on the year, but had also bounced back from lows.\nSPACs have continued to show rampant speculation throughout, as investors looked for the types of gains those stocks enjoyed in 2020.\n“I think the electric-vehicle space is something where investors are chasing past returns,” said University of Florida Professor Jay Ritter, who has both invested in SPACs and shorted Tesla shares of late. “As with all bubbles, it’s hard to know where the turning point is going to be.”\nTwo cautionary examples of EV hype\nTwo EV companies are good examples of the caution needed by investors and the problems that exist in these early-stage ventures. Nikola Corp. was one of the early EV makers to get swept up and purchased by a SPAC, which then attracted an army of investors who drove prices sky high. But a short seller, Hindenburg Research, helped deflate that bubble.In September, Hindenburg published a detailed report, calling Nikola an “intricate fraud” and pointed out the company staged a deceiving video of a truck running on its hydrogen fuel-cell technology, when it was actually filmed slowly rolling down a hill, not running on its own power.\nNikola, which surged to a peak of around $66 last July, before Hindenburg’s report, closed at $15.85 Tuesday.\nWhile Nikola could be in the vaporware camp, Lucid Motors Inc., is another story. It is seen as a legitimate potential Tesla rival, based in Newark, Calif., not far from Tesla’s Silicon Valley manufacturing site in Fremont. Lucid was founded by Peter Rawlinson, the chief engineer of the Tesla Model S, and is developing an electric luxury sedan that is expected to launch this year, as well as an electric SUV.\nThe mania around SPACs struck Lucid as well. After news leaked in January that Lucid was about to be acquired by a SPAC called Churchill Capital Group,shares in the SPAC surged to unreasonable levels as speculators jumped in. When the merger was actually announced in late February, it included an investment from Wall Street that valued the company far less than the public had,and its shares plunged.\nThere could be plenty more pain for speculators looking to get in on EV companies. In January alone, according to Dealogic, 90 SPACs filed to go public. While only a handful of those companies actually said they plan to focus on electric vehicles or batteries, many did not identify a target industry or market for acquisitions but did mention a sustainable focus — for example, Switchback II of Dallas, which raised $275 million in its January IPO, said it intends to focus on companies in the “broad energy transition or sustainability arena targeting industries that require innovative solutions to decarbonize in order to meet critical emission reduction objectives.”\n“Never underestimate the market’s ability to find products for people who have money. The market has more money than product right now. The shelf of near-ready IPOs was pretty bare, and laid more barren with COVID-19,” said Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business, in an interview late last year. “So all of a sudden, there is good money looking for public companies. It’s incredible how fast this submarket has reformed around SPACS.”\nTypical IPO buyers like Fidelity and Franklin Templeton are making large investments in SPACs through private investment in public equities, or PIPEs, the type of investment that pumped into Lucid as its SPAC traded much higher.\nSPACs represent an unusual investment opportunity, because they take place in two phases. In the first phase, the blank-check company raises money in its IPO, the pre-acquisition phase, which can offer investors a good return. They also offer investors the ability to exit, with original funds intact, if a proposed acquisition is not to the liking of the investors.\nSo far investors have had an excellent run in SPACs in general, especially hedge funds, or the SPAC mafia, Ritter said. According to Dealogic, a total of 262 blank-check companies went public in U.S. markets in 2020, with a current average performance of 21.3% for those 2020 deals. So far for 2021 IPO SPACs, though, the current average performance is 1.95%.\nRitter was so impressed with the returns that he invested in a few SPACs himself in the aftermarket, after seeing his funds in an investment account earn barely anything in interest.\n“There is investor enthusiasm. Even though supply has been exploding, investor demand has been growing even faster,” Ritter said, adding that most of the electric-vehicle companies have chosen to go public via a SPAC and not the standard, more costly, IPO process.\nSPACs are typically a better investment in the pre-acquisition phase, which can go as long as two years, the time limit set for companies to make an acquisition. Only early investors, though, are often able to receive the biggest security for their investment in SPACs. They usually receive a warrant with each share of the IPO, that entitles them to buy a share at a prearranged price. Public investors in the aftermarket deal don’t get this option,which is why hedge funds have zeroed in on SPACs as a sure thing.\nRitter noted that even though he drives a Tesla himself, he has been short the stock.\n“When it got added to the S&P 500, I shorted more shares. So far it’s been a wealth-losing activity for me,” Ritter said, adding that he also believes many investors are hoping for a repeat performance of Tesla. “Investors tend to chase past returns. Fifteen years ago it was investing in real estate, which ended badly; 21 years ago the internet bubble was about to peak.”\nEV SPACs as the new dot-com bubble\nJust as the dot-com boom and bust of 1999-2000 was often compared with the tulip mania in the 17th century of the then-Dutch Republic, it is worth asking the same question about some of the different bubbles in the market today, from the GameStop Corp. insanity to the electric-vehicle hype.\nDuring both the tulip boom and the dot-com boom, new and relatively unknown products were introduced, and prices (in futures contracts for tulips, stock prices for dot-com companies) reached staggering levels based on hype for potential demand that was not sustainable. Many companies like Pets.com and Webvan ultimately collapsed, with business ideas that were ahead of their time, while others took advantage of the market mania, such as WorldCom, which deceived investors with one of the biggest accounting frauds in history. Others survived and thrived, such as Amazon.com Inc.,which has soared to unbelievable heights of over $1.6 trillion in market value.\nAs the global automotive industry goes through a similar seismic shift, investors are banking on a similar phenomenon, but with electric cars, and autonomous vehicles replacing gas-fueled combustion engines. This includes companies in China, where another crop of EV companies seek to unseat Tesla in the most populated country in the world. Currently, though, electric cars currently make up only approximately 2% of global auto sales. Estimates for the future vary broadly, from a low-end forecast of 10% to 20% of cars sold by 2030 to as much as two-thirds of the market in the same time frame.\nWith those predicted changes on the horizon, combined with Tesla’s gigantic stock gains in 2020, including its addition to the S&P 500,have led to some crazy bets on unproven or early-stage technologies once again.\nIn 2020, 15 private electric-vehicle companies were purchased by blank-check companies and are now publicly traded, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOS and has its own IPO ETF.But most of them don’t have a proven technology or business model, little or no revenue and no profits in sight.\n“While this is an area with enormous potential, many of these companies are completely unproven, and investors have very little to go on in terms of their ability to win customers or scale manufacturing,” said Kennedy of Renaissance Capital.\nThe U.S. EV targets of the blank check companies, such as Nikola, Lucid and Fisker Inc.,an electric-car startup in Los Angeles, have not manufactured a single electric vehicle for sale, or collected any revenue yet. But their market caps have soared, and the companies are promising huge gains in revenue in a short time period.\nThese stocks have not traded on profit or revenue, but on pure speculation. Fisker saw its shares soar nearly 40% after a memo of understanding with Foxconn Technology Group,the manufacturer of Apple Inc.’s iPhones, to jointly produce more than 250,000 electric SUVs, possibly at FoxConn’s new factory in Wisconsin. The deal is for Fisker’s second model, and manufacturing would begin at the end of 2023, as it adopts a sort of Uber-like approach to contracting out high costs.\nThe history of Fisker shows why investors should be concerned. The original company, Fisker Automotive, went bankrupt in 2013, and its assets were purchased by a Chinese auto-parts company that has retained some brand rights and started up Fisker Inc. while saying goodbye to the founder who gave the company its name. Fisker’s first product, an electric SUV called the Ocean, is expected to be launched in late 2022.\nThese are the types of investments that are more appropriate for venture capitalists, who are used to betting on companies without revenue or profits or even a product. The list of companies targeted by SPACs looking at the EV market or the sustainable-energy arena also includes companies making electric batteries, charging-station makers, and other components for EVs and AVs, such as Lidar.\nVelodyne Lidar Inc.,makes technology that is used as part of the vision system in autonomous vehicles, and is now in the middle of a post-SPAC war. David Hall, who founded the Morgan Hill, Calif.-based company, and his wife are sparring with the investors who purchased Velodyne Lidar,and took the company public via a SPAC late last year. But since then, the Halls and Velodyne’s acquirers had a falling out.\nLast month, the company named a new chairman and chief marketing officer following an investigation into the conduct of David Hall and Marta Thoma Hall, who held those positions, respectively, and terminated Marta Hall’s employment.\n“The investigation concluded that Mr. Hall and Ms. Hall each behaved inappropriately with regard to board and company processes, and failed to operate with respect, honesty, integrity, and candor in their dealings with company officers and directors,”Velodyne said in a statement and regulatory filing in late February.\nThe two remain directors of the company that ousted them, as well as majority owners, with a 58.4% ownership of common stock in Velodyne.\n“To be completely clear: I chose to resign from the board because I had numerous concerns about the strategic direction and current leadership of Velodyne Lidar,” David Hall said in a statement last week. “I firmly believe that the board has fostered an anti-stockholder culture and that Velodyne Lidar’s corporate governance is broken. Perhaps most unsettling was the board’s decision to rubber-stamp an increased compensation package for Mr. [Anand] Gopalan despite the Company releasing weak Q4 2020 earnings and missing year-end forecasts.”\nGopalan is Veloydyne’s chief executive.\nA few weeks ago, Hall told The Wall Street Journal that the moves were a “well-played-out plan to hijack the corporation by the SPAC guys.” The Halls were not immediately available for an interview, their spokesman said.\nThe Velodyne saga is one that can often happen at startup companies that are not yet ready for prime time, when entrenched founders spar with their investors. One high-profile example that did made its way into the press in recent years was when VC investors pushed for the ouster of co-founder Travis Kalanick at Uber Technologies,long before the company went public.\nSo while SPACs may represent the democratization of venture-capital investing, where average retail investors have a more even playing field with Silicon Valley venture capitalists, getting in at the very early stages of young companies, it is also the democratizing the huge amounts of risk that are typically borne by professional investors. But unlike venture capitalists, who spread out their investments across a group of at least 10 various young or high-risk companies, knowing that most will fail as they hope to hit one big winner, individuals have a lot more to lose.\n“The SPACs we are seeing now are focused on somewhat VC-like companies. Many of these companies don’t have revenue, they don’t have positive cash flow or earnings. It’s kind of like a VC in a liquid form, via a SPAC,” said Robert Davis, a partner and chief investment officer of Round Table Wealth Management. “Not all these SPACs are going to be great.”\nThere is a lot of risk in many of these deals, especially in the “pre-revenue” bunch.\n“This is a little bit like in the Middle Ages, alchemists would take base metal and turn it into gold,” said Sandeep Dahiya, associate professor of entrepreneurship at Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business.“SPACs are like that: ‘Here, give us your money and we will try to make you rich.’ Let’s see how that plays out.”\nFor most investors, especially the average retail investor who did not get in early like the hedge funds, it will likely not end well in the short term. Anyone who is betting on long-term returns will need to choose wisely, and be wary of the SPAC flavor of the day.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":864129256,"gmtCreate":1633076028334,"gmtModify":1633076028997,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG","text":"$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$LFG","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ef04b19d05a74d54af84007c075067d","width":"1242","height":"1968"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/864129256","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":704,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":864123145,"gmtCreate":1633076070653,"gmtModify":1633076071287,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Next week play","listText":"Next week play","text":"Next week play","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce4cf7b32b5fd1e66c6ceefd2b92d9f5","width":"1125","height":"3507"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/864123145","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":555,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868447130,"gmtCreate":1632702617520,"gmtModify":1632798513450,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Going to hit 5?&nbsp;","listText":"Going to hit 5?&nbsp;","text":"Going to hit 5?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3f97a7ec852d5573dfa45df13b169ae","width":"1125","height":"3588"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868447130","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":531,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868444345,"gmtCreate":1632702563187,"gmtModify":1632798514712,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATER\">$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$</a>LFG&nbsp;","text":"$Aterian Inc.(ATER)$LFG","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee7be127f5d9c5e69c7d0363c05f9d9b","width":"1242","height":"1968"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868444345","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":371,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":324317139,"gmtCreate":1615963255421,"gmtModify":1703495590418,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷] [财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/324317139","repostId":"1180610235","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180610235","pubTimestamp":1615960232,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180610235?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-17 13:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why the health-care sector — not gold — is the best inflation hedge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180610235","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Which industry historically has been the best inflation hedge? Most investors would say gold and gol","content":"<p>Which industry historically has been the best inflation hedge? Most investors would say gold and gold mining. The correct answer is health care, according to study I conducted on the performance of 49 industry groups since 1926. I relied on&nbsp;data from Dartmouth College professor Ken French.</p>\n<p>Consider the extent to which changes in the Consumer Price Index over the trailing 24 months explain or predict contemporaneous changes in an index of health care stocks. (The statistic I calculated is known as the r-squared: A reading of 100% would mean that changes in the CPI explained and predicted all of the changes in the health care industry, while a reading of 0% would mean that the CPI had no explanatory power.) When focusing on all data since 1926, the r-squared is a statistically significant 23.2%. No other industry group comes close.</p>\n<p>Gold&nbsp;is in second place, and its comparable r-squared is 13.6%. (I reached similar results when focusing on just the period since the early 1970s, which is when gold bullion ownership in the U.S. became legal.)</p>\n<p>You shouldn’t be surprised that health care beats out other industries in hedging inflation. That’s because demand for health care is relatively immune from inflationary pressures. Except for the most elective of procedures you’re not likely to turn down medical care because of increasing price. Consider how fast the&nbsp;CPI for medical care&nbsp;has increased since the late 1940s (the earliest for which data are available): It has increased by a multiple of 40 over the ensuing seven decades. Over the same period, the&nbsp;regular CPI&nbsp;has increased by a factor of 12. (These rates of increase are equivalent to 5.1% and 3.4% on an annualized basis).</p>\n<p>Nor should you be surprised that gold mining shares have not done as well as health care stocks. The relationship between the CPI and gold’s price has been anything but stable or consistent over time, as you can see from the chart below. That’s another way of saying that sometimes gold greatly outpaces inflation and other times in which it significantly lags.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f65b64d7e3a53ee5648945b538d54382\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"849\"></p>\n<p>You might be interested to know which industry historically has been the worst inflation hedge. The answer: candy; snacks and soda. The reason is that demand for the products sold by these companies are extremely price sensitive — just the opposite of health care services.</p>\n<p>What about the overall stock market, as represented by indices such as the S&amp;P 500?

Most investors would say gold and gold mining. The correct answer is health care, according to study I conducted on the performance of 49 industry groups since 1926. I relied on data from Dartmouth College professor Ken French.\nConsider the extent to which changes in the Consumer Price Index over the trailing 24 months explain or predict contemporaneous changes in an index of health care stocks. (The statistic I calculated is known as the r-squared: A reading of 100% would mean that changes in the CPI explained and predicted all of the changes in the health care industry, while a reading of 0% would mean that the CPI had no explanatory power.) When focusing on all data since 1926, the r-squared is a statistically significant 23.2%. No other industry group comes close.\nGold is in second place, and its comparable r-squared is 13.6%. (I reached similar results when focusing on just the period since the early 1970s, which is when gold bullion ownership in the U.S. became legal.)\nYou shouldn’t be surprised that health care beats out other industries in hedging inflation. That’s because demand for health care is relatively immune from inflationary pressures. Except for the most elective of procedures you’re not likely to turn down medical care because of increasing price. Consider how fast the CPI for medical care has increased since the late 1940s (the earliest for which data are available): It has increased by a multiple of 40 over the ensuing seven decades. Over the same period, the regular CPI has increased by a factor of 12. (These rates of increase are equivalent to 5.1% and 3.4% on an annualized basis).\nNor should you be surprised that gold mining shares have not done as well as health care stocks. The relationship between the CPI and gold’s price has been anything but stable or consistent over time, as you can see from the chart below. That’s another way of saying that sometimes gold greatly outpaces inflation and other times in which it significantly lags.\n\nYou might be interested to know which industry historically has been the worst inflation hedge. The answer: candy; snacks and soda. The reason is that demand for the products sold by these companies are extremely price sensitive — just the opposite of health care services.\nWhat about the overall stock market, as represented by indices such as the S&P 500? I focused on this index’s inflation-hedging abilities in a column several weeks ago, pointing out that most investors fail to appreciate that a stock market index fund is one of the best long-term inflation hedges available. Because of investors’ mistake, however, the broad stock market historically has been a poor inflation hedge over the shorter term of a year or two. It only becomes an excellent hedge when bought and held over periods of several decades.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":619,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":365282676,"gmtCreate":1614745967695,"gmtModify":1703480590790,"author":{"id":"3576791655840004","authorId":"3576791655840004","name":"YenChing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fdba5c5235dd9ac0d65620b074efb9b","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00916\">$China Longyuan Power(00916)$</a>心累","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00916\">$China Longyuan Power(00916)$</a>心累","text":"$China Longyuan Power(00916)$心累","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d70fd28e7c4caa7b85bd219b5e9b82e7","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/365282676","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":650,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
