The first is the constant trajectory of growth stocks outperforming value stocks, and the second is the growing tech composition on the S&amp;P 500 index relative to the decline in financial stocks. I've been a believer that the market is currently following the Yardeni model as opposed to the Fed model; this has been done both consciously and subconsciously.</p>\n<p>The Fed model is an old model, which suggests that the market is in a bullish space (ex-ante) when we see a decline in the 10-year treasury yield and an incline in the earnings yield.</p>\n<p>Below is the Fed model as of 15 September, which suggests that we're heading towards a decline and that stocks are overvalued.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de660a5b64fffeecc5c34c94f16d36fa\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"332\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>However, the Yardeni model suggests that the expected earnings should be the benchmark used to the bond yield. Tech stocks thrive on expected earnings due to intellectual property building up and rigorous, constant annual growth rates in new markets. See the Yardeni model below, which suggests we're currently in a better spot.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb0c652c7c79920b9e1b28c44bfb2fbd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"330\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Yardeni.com</span></p>\n<p>If the Yardeni model really is the principal market determinant, then PayPal is in great shape considering its expected earnings growth versus the others'. The chart below illustrates various EPS growth estimates up to 2025, and PayPal comes out on top with a cumulative of 110.57% relative to its nearest competitor Bank of America, with 92.84%.</p>\n<p><b>PayPal</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/780faabe9b560d9a4f07b31dd46dac53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"182\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><b>Bank of America</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a736722d542e42c7e94d1322c0c2996\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"182\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><b>Goldman Sachs</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/282a89025c88ab2626ec3266349fb5f8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><b>Morgan Stanley</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cea9cd8421ee1d98fe4741334ee6a8a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><b>Key Notes &amp; Backtesting</b></p>\n<p>I'm not suggesting that based on expected earnings alone, PayPal will outperform these banks. You'll need to look at panel data in a few years to paint a clearer picture as banking is set for an overhaul.</p>\n<p>My key argument on the financial sector is that technology has been the prevalent factor for growth due to its application in streamlining consumer efficiency. From a stock perspective, it's widely discussed that firms acquiring technology grow faster than firms acquiring traditional assets due to the hypergrowth of the acquired assets, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)are testimony to this.</p>\n<p>I ran a backtesting model on portfoliovisualizer to illustrate a few risk-return utility dynamics and look at panel data.</p>\n<p>My portfolio weights were as follows.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6498fcac29c813e293d62b044b3f412\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"95\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Portfolio Visualizer</span></p>\n<p>Portfolio 1: Significantly Overweight PayPal.</p>\n<p>Portfolio 2: Overweight on traditional banking with PayPal being overweight as an asset.</p>\n<p>Portfolio 3: Overweight traditional banking and underweight PayPal as an asset.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/535d515a7b65c6d66b0378c9acab1e0e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"313\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Portfolio Visualizer</span></p>\n<p>Portfolio 1 with overweight PayPal and fintech as an industry presents us with the best returns. The portfolio started separating itself in 2017, and in 2020 it became the prevalent portfolio as the tech craze started. By the way, the tech craze has been connected to factor productivity growth and not just because of basic intuition.</p>\n<p>Other positive aspects include a superior Sharpe ratio for portfolio 1 and a superior Sortino ratio for portfolio 1. These imply that its earnings and the downside are more favorable relative to volatility than the other portfolios.</p>\n<p>This doesn't by any means suggest that PayPal will be superior in the future. As a matter of fact, it's facing rising competition in the peer-to-peer space and will need to expand on operations to sustain its success over the past 13 years, as seen in the backtest.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Based on current evidence, PayPal is exceeding traditional banking stocks' growth. Unless traditional banking improves on digitalization through acquisitions of peer-to-peer payment programs and buy-now-pay-later concepts, it may be left in the dark. Big banks are facing management changes for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008. It's been a period of steadying the ship, and it remains to be seen if alternative methods to growth will be considered moving forward.</p>\n<p><b>Areas of further study</b></p>\n<p>Another interesting stock to analyze could be Square (NYSE:SQ), with its digital banking, payment, and crypto exploits. Doing regressions on stock performance relative to financial innovation would be an exciting avenue to explore as well. Panel data over the next few years could facilitate the validity of machine learnings models as well.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>PayPal: A Catalyst For Change In Traditional Banking</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPayPal: A Catalyst For Change In Traditional Banking\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 21:23 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455743-paypal-stock-a-catalyst-for-change-in-traditional-banking><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPayPal's Enterprise Value exceeds many of the big banks, we deconstructed the reasons.\nThe Yardeni model is in favor of PayPal and the broader market.\nBacktesting provides staggering results....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455743-paypal-stock-a-catalyst-for-change-in-traditional-banking\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455743-paypal-stock-a-catalyst-for-change-in-traditional-banking","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1194500317","content_text":"Summary\n\nPayPal's Enterprise Value exceeds many of the big banks, we deconstructed the reasons.\nThe Yardeni model is in favor of PayPal and the broader market.\nBacktesting provides staggering results.\nWill there be a period of change in big banking?\n\nJasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nPayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) operates as a digital payment platform for consumers and merchants across the globe.

I've been a believer that the market is currently following the Yardeni model as opposed to the Fed model; this has been done both consciously and subconsciously.\nThe Fed model is an old model, which suggests that the market is in a bullish space (ex-ante) when we see a decline in the 10-year treasury yield and an incline in the earnings yield.\nBelow is the Fed model as of 15 September, which suggests that we're heading towards a decline and that stocks are overvalued.\n\nHowever, the Yardeni model suggests that the expected earnings should be the benchmark used to the bond yield. Tech stocks thrive on expected earnings due to intellectual property building up and rigorous, constant annual growth rates in new markets. See the Yardeni model below, which suggests we're currently in a better spot.\nSource: Yardeni.com\nIf the Yardeni model really is the principal market determinant, then PayPal is in great shape considering its expected earnings growth versus the others'. The chart below illustrates various EPS growth estimates up to 2025, and PayPal comes out on top with a cumulative of 110.57% relative to its nearest competitor Bank of America, with 92.84%.\nPayPal\nBank of America\nGoldman Sachs\n\nMorgan Stanley\n\nKey Notes & Backtesting\nI'm not suggesting that based on expected earnings alone, PayPal will outperform these banks. You'll need to look at panel data in a few years to paint a clearer picture as banking is set for an overhaul.\nMy key argument on the financial sector is that technology has been the prevalent factor for growth due to its application in streamlining consumer efficiency. From a stock perspective, it's widely discussed that firms acquiring technology grow faster than firms acquiring traditional assets due to the hypergrowth of the acquired assets, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)are testimony to this.\nI ran a backtesting model on portfoliovisualizer to illustrate a few risk-return utility dynamics and look at panel data.\nMy portfolio weights were as follows.\nSource: Portfolio Visualizer\nPortfolio 1: Significantly Overweight PayPal.\nPortfolio 2: Overweight on traditional banking with PayPal being overweight as an asset.\nPortfolio 3: Overweight traditional banking and underweight PayPal as an asset.\nSource: Portfolio Visualizer\nPortfolio 1 with overweight PayPal and fintech as an industry presents us with the best returns. The portfolio started separating itself in 2017, and in 2020 it became the prevalent portfolio as the tech craze started. By the way, the tech craze has been connected to factor productivity growth and not just because of basic intuition.\nOther positive aspects include a superior Sharpe ratio for portfolio 1 and a superior Sortino ratio for portfolio 1. These imply that its earnings and the downside are more favorable relative to volatility than the other portfolios.\nThis doesn't by any means suggest that PayPal will be superior in the future. As a matter of fact, it's facing rising competition in the peer-to-peer space and will need to expand on operations to sustain its success over the past 13 years, as seen in the backtest.\nConclusion\nBased on current evidence, PayPal is exceeding traditional banking stocks' growth. Unless traditional banking improves on digitalization through acquisitions of peer-to-peer payment programs and buy-now-pay-later concepts, it may be left in the dark. Big banks are facing management changes for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008. It's been a period of steadying the ship, and it remains to be seen if alternative methods to growth will be considered moving forward.\nAreas of further study\nAnother interesting stock to analyze could be Square (NYSE:SQ), with its digital banking, payment, and crypto exploits. Doing regressions on stock performance relative to financial innovation would be an exciting avenue to explore as well. Panel data over the next few years could facilitate the validity of machine learnings models as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":300,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885431608,"gmtCreate":1631809299304,"gmtModify":1631884108192,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/885431608","repostId":"2167651799","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167651799","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1631806223,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2167651799?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-16 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Ultra-Popular Stocks With 81% to 98% Downside, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167651799","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Certain analysts and investment banks see these stocks losing a majority of their value.","content":"<p>A quick look at the long-term chart of the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> will demonstrate to any investor that optimism is rewarded over the long run.

Each are likely to have moderated last month after initial reopening surges in demand and price increases earlier this year.</p>\n<p>On the inflation front, the Labor Department's August Consumer Price Index (CPI) is set for release on Tuesday. The print is expected to decelerate on both a monthly and annual basis, suggesting the peak growth rates in prices for consumer goods and service may already have passed during this economic recovery.</p>\n<p>Consensus economists expect the broadest measure of CPI will grow 0.4% in August compared to July, and by 5.3% compared to August 2020. In July, the headline CPI grew 0.5% month-on-month and by 5.4% year-on-year, with the latter representing the fastest annual growth rate since 2008.</p>\n<p>Excluding more volatile food and energy prices, the CPI likely grew 0.3% month-on-month in August to match July's pace. However, on a year-over-year basis, the CPI excluding food and energy prices likely ticked down to a 4.2% rate, or a hair below July's 4.3% rate. That had, in turn, moderated from a 4.5% annual rate in June, which had marked the fastest rise since 1991.</p>\n<p>The multi-year highs in consumer price increases so far this year have coincided with the broadening economic recovery, as more Americans became vaccinated and were more inclined to spend. This especially drove up prices in goods and services closely tied to renewed consumer mobility.</p>\n<p>Used car and truck prices, for instances, rose at least 7.3% in each of April, May and June before decelerating sharply to an only 0.2% rise in July — suggesting an initial wave of demand was finally being unwound as consumers reacclimatized to going back out and companies' supply chains began to catch up with demand. Similar trends have been seen in prices for airline tickets, motor vehicle insurance and apparel prices, which pulled back in July after spiking earlier in late spring and early summer.</p>\n<p>Other categories of consumer prices have seen more sustained increases, especially in food and energy prices.

Each are likely to have moderated last month after initial reopening surges in demand and price increases earlier this year.\nOn the inflation front, the Labor Department's August Consumer Price Index (CPI) is set for release on Tuesday. The print is expected to decelerate on both a monthly and annual basis, suggesting the peak growth rates in prices for consumer goods and service may already have passed during this economic recovery.\nConsensus economists expect the broadest measure of CPI will grow 0.4% in August compared to July, and by 5.3% compared to August 2020. In July, the headline CPI grew 0.5% month-on-month and by 5.4% year-on-year, with the latter representing the fastest annual growth rate since 2008.\nExcluding more volatile food and energy prices, the CPI likely grew 0.3% month-on-month in August to match July's pace. However, on a year-over-year basis, the CPI excluding food and energy prices likely ticked down to a 4.2% rate, or a hair below July's 4.3% rate. That had, in turn, moderated from a 4.5% annual rate in June, which had marked the fastest rise since 1991.\nThe multi-year highs in consumer price increases so far this year have coincided with the broadening economic recovery, as more Americans became vaccinated and were more inclined to spend. This especially drove up prices in goods and services closely tied to renewed consumer mobility.\nUsed car and truck prices, for instances, rose at least 7.3% in each of April, May and June before decelerating sharply to an only 0.2% rise in July — suggesting an initial wave of demand was finally being unwound as consumers reacclimatized to going back out and companies' supply chains began to catch up with demand. Similar trends have been seen in prices for airline tickets, motor vehicle insurance and apparel prices, which pulled back in July after spiking earlier in late spring and early summer.\nOther categories of consumer prices have seen more sustained increases, especially in food and energy prices. Other services-related areas of consumption have also seen sustained rises, with consumers returning to in-person activities like dining out at bars and restaurants and leisure traveling. The CPI's \"services less energy services\" category has on a monthly basis in every month so far in 2021 except January, mostly recently at a 0.3% clip.\nMuhlenberg, PA - March 18: Redner's Quick Shoppe employee Julie Zezenski and Manager Pete Ostrowski work behind the counter at the Redner's Quick Shoppe on Tuckerton Road in Muhlenberg township Thursday afternoon March 18, 2021.

NetEase (NTES) slips 6.4% and Bilibili (BILI) falls 6.9%, while the likes of Alibaba (BABA), Pinduoduo (PDD) and Baidu (BIDU) also dropped as did Roblox, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Art and Take-Two, all down between 0.3% and 1.6%. Digital Realty, which manages technology-related properties, declined 3.6% after entering into forward sale agreements with banks for 6.25 million shares at $160.50 each.\nLululemon surged 14% as analysts increased their price targets on the stock after the athletic clothing retailer boosted its outlook for the year and reported 2Q sales that outpaced expectations. The company continues to benefit from the trend toward casual and athleisure fashion, according to Jefferies. Peer Nike (NKE) rises 1.6%.\nHere are some other notable movers this morning:\n\nCardiff Oncology, Inc. soars 16% after the company said Wednesday that data from a colorectal cancer drug trial showed “robust objective response rate and progression free survival.”\nGameStop declines 6.8% after reporting a second-quarter loss that was wider than Wall Street projections. It also held a very brief earnings call in which it said it wouldn’t provide guidance. Its peer among the day trader crowd, AMC Entertainment (AMC) also slips 2.7%.\nHumanigen, Inc. shares tumble 53% after the U.S. FDA declined its request for emergency use authorization of lenzilumab to treat newly-hospitalized Covid-19 patients.\n\nIn Fx, the dollar slipped after a three-day gain, the JPY and GBP topped the G-10 leaderboard, while EUR holds within Wednesday’s range ahead of today’s ECB meeting. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index inched lower and the greenback fell against most of its Group-of-10 peers even as many currencies traded in tight ranges; the Treasury curve bull- flattened modestly. The yen was the top performer among G-10 peers amid haven demand. The euro came off yesterday’s one-week low while Bunds and Italian bonds were little changed before the ECB’s meeting; the pound advanced to a day-high in the European session.\nIn rates, Treasuries held small gains from intermediate sector to long-end of the curve with S&P 500 following declines in FTSE 100 and Euro Stoxx 50. Yields richer by ~1bp across long-end of the curve, flattening 2s10s, 5s30s spreads slightly; 10-year yields around 1.33%, outperforming gilts by almost 3bp. Curve and outright concession have faded ahead of 30-year bond reopening during U.S. afternoon, focal point of U.S. session after ECB policy decision at 7:45am ET.  The weekly US auction cycle concludes with $24b 30-year bond sale at 1pm ET; 3- and 10-year auctions drew strong demand. WI 30-year yield at 1.947% is below auction stops since February and ~9bp richer than last month’s, which tailed the WI by 1bp. Peripheral spreads tighten a touch. Gilts bear flatten with the short end cheaper by ~2bps\nIn commodities, crude futures were little changed, maintaining Asia’s narrow range. WTI drifts just above $69, Brent near $72.60. Spot gold puts in a ~$5 move to the upside to trade near $1,794/oz. Base metals are well bid with LME nickel and tin outperforming. LME copper reverses Wednesday’s drop, adding 1.4%.

With the former and current management team using the company's shares as collateral to make acquisitions and/or keep the lights on, the company's share count has ballooned from a reverse-split-adjusted 1.3 million to around 198 million in under seven years.

Over the past two years, the company has written down approximately half the value of its total assets (about CA$2.8 billion). It's simply one of the worst stocks to play the cannabis boom.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07841e6a8173146a0fbfddf95a0f1ccb\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p><b>GameStop</b></p>\n<p>Since this list of companies to avoid began with a meme stock (AMC), perhaps it's only fitting that it end with another one: <b>GameStop</b> (NYSE:GME).</p>\n<p>Whereas AMC is a fundamental nightmare in every respect, video game and accessories retailer GameStop does at least have a few things working in its favor.

Additionally, whereas movie theater industry sales are shrinking, digital gaming is expanding, which offers growth opportunities for GameStop.</p>\n<p>The issue, though, is that GameStop is going to take years to turn things around. This is a company that's been built on a brick-and-mortar operating model for more than two decades. As gaming shifts online, GameStop will be forced to close stores at a steady pace to reduce its operating expenses and essentially backpedal its way into the profit column. Though GameStop can be profitable again on a recurring basis, its $15 billion market cap isn't accurately reflective of the challenges that lie ahead.</p>\n<p>If given the choice, I'd choose GameStop over AMC over the long run 1,000 times out of 1,000.

But I believe there are much smarter places for investors to put their money right now than a gaming retailer whose sales will likely be stagnant for years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":816546970,"gmtCreate":1630509430590,"gmtModify":1631884108251,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/816546970","repostId":"2164822892","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2164822892","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630509180,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2164822892?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-01 23:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Domino's® Opens First Store in Lithuania","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2164822892","media":"PR Newswire","summary":"Domino's delivers convenience to customers in Vilnius\nANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -","content":"<div>\n<p>Domino's delivers convenience to customers in Vilnius\nANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza, Inc.

There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.</p>\n<p>Competitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.</p>\n<h3>Here's the bottom line</h3>\n<p>Real estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"<b>Amazon</b>\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is&nbsp;poised to be a big player&nbsp;in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThis Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-29 09:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129129956","content_text":"Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.\n\n\nReal estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ:OPEN)has been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger.

It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"Amazon\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is poised to be a big player in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810525142,"gmtCreate":1629987587186,"gmtModify":1704954246570,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/810525142","repostId":"1143651570","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143651570","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1629987360,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1143651570?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-26 22:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Wins Blockchain Patent For Implementing Cross Chain Token Service","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143651570","media":"Benzinga","summary":"What Happened: Multinational tech giant Microsoft Corporation has been awarded a patent for implemen","content":"<p><b>What Happened:</b>&nbsp;Multinational tech giant&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a> Corporation</b>&nbsp;has been awarded a patent for implementing a “ledger-independent token service.”</p>\n<p>According to the&nbsp;grant issued&nbsp;by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the patent will allow Microsoft to build&nbsp;a system that facilitates the creation and management of tokens across multiple blockchain networks.</p>\n<p>The computer system can also provide token templates to the user.

play a significant role in producing semiconductors for the car industry, cementing future growth potential.","content":"<p>It's not a name thrown around with the high-flying heavyweights of the semiconductor industry, but <b>Axcelis Technologies</b> (NASDAQ:ACLS) provides equipment and services critical to those major producers. It has recently placed a particular focus on its Purion line of ion implanters specific to the chips used in the automotive industry, playing an important role in resolving the global supply shortage.</p>\n<p>That bet is paying off. The company reported a strong second-quarter earnings result last week, which sent the stock almost 20% higher. Axcelis has positioned itself for growth for the years ahead as the industry continues to expand capacity to meet growing demand. Trading at just 2.3 times forecasted 2021 revenue, I think the stock is a bargain for long-term investors looking for some unique exposure to the semiconductor industry.</p>\n<h2>A major opportunity</h2>\n<p>A lack of new vehicle supply has driven soaring prices in the used car market as consumers compromised their purchases. The frenzy links directly to the semiconductor shortage, as automotive manufacturers struggle to get their hands on the more advanced computer chips needed to power our increasingly intelligent cars.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e80d5d1164b343bfca694612d7a8a1e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>The rising price of vehicles accounts for up to a third of the entire increase in inflation over the last few months, including the most recent June readout. It comes as domestic auto inventories -- tracked by the St. Louis Federal Reserve -- have plummeted to their lowest level on record.</p>\n<p>Axcelis noted that the strength of its Q2 results was especially attributable to demand for its Power Device line, which is focused on ion implanters and product extensions for automotive-related semiconductors. As vehicles trend further toward electrification, they're going to require more advanced chips and the company's attention in this area should yield strong future growth.</p>\n<p>The majority of the world's semiconductors are produced in Asia, where tight restrictions took hold during the pandemic and manufacturers lost months of output. Axcelis drew 79% of its Q2 revenue from the Asia Pacific region, and it's likely to continue to play a significant role.</p>\n<h2>Financial highlights</h2>\n<p>Axcelis generated $147 million in Q2 revenue, 19% more than the same quarter last year. The strong growth prompted the company to boost its 2021 full-year forecast to $625 million from the $550 million it was estimating in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>It reports revenue in two categories: systems, which counts the sale of all new and used ion implanter systems, and aftermarket, which is revenue generated from parts and labor used in servicing them for customers.</p>\n<p>In the second quarter Axcelis recognized over $100 million in systems revenue for the first time since 2004, highlighting the appetite of semiconductor producers for increasing manufacturing capacity.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2019</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>H1 2021</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>$342.9 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$474.5 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$280.0 million</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Earnings per share</p></td>\n   <td><p>$0.50</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1.46</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1.03</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Axcelis Technologies.</p>\n<p>The company is also consistently profitable, generating $0.55 in Q2 earnings per share, which was 41% more than the same quarter last year and contributed to a strong 2021 first half result.</p>\n<p>At this stage, Axcelis is on track to exceed analyst expectations of $1.95 in full-year earnings per share and quadruple its 2019 result.</p>\n<h2>Investor takeaways</h2>\n<p>Axcelis has issued third-quarter forecasts of $170 million in revenue and $0.70 in earnings per share.

It has recently placed a particular focus on its Purion line of ion implanters specific to the chips used in the automotive industry, playing an important role in resolving the global supply shortage.\nThat bet is paying off. The company reported a strong second-quarter earnings result last week, which sent the stock almost 20% higher. Axcelis has positioned itself for growth for the years ahead as the industry continues to expand capacity to meet growing demand. Trading at just 2.3 times forecasted 2021 revenue, I think the stock is a bargain for long-term investors looking for some unique exposure to the semiconductor industry.\nA major opportunity\nA lack of new vehicle supply has driven soaring prices in the used car market as consumers compromised their purchases. The frenzy links directly to the semiconductor shortage, as automotive manufacturers struggle to get their hands on the more advanced computer chips needed to power our increasingly intelligent cars.\nImage source: Getty Images\nThe rising price of vehicles accounts for up to a third of the entire increase in inflation over the last few months, including the most recent June readout. It comes as domestic auto inventories -- tracked by the St. Louis Federal Reserve -- have plummeted to their lowest level on record.\nAxcelis noted that the strength of its Q2 results was especially attributable to demand for its Power Device line, which is focused on ion implanters and product extensions for automotive-related semiconductors. As vehicles trend further toward electrification, they're going to require more advanced chips and the company's attention in this area should yield strong future growth.\nThe majority of the world's semiconductors are produced in Asia, where tight restrictions took hold during the pandemic and manufacturers lost months of output. Axcelis drew 79% of its Q2 revenue from the Asia Pacific region, and it's likely to continue to play a significant role.\nFinancial highlights\nAxcelis generated $147 million in Q2 revenue, 19% more than the same quarter last year. The strong growth prompted the company to boost its 2021 full-year forecast to $625 million from the $550 million it was estimating in the first quarter.\nIt reports revenue in two categories: systems, which counts the sale of all new and used ion implanter systems, and aftermarket, which is revenue generated from parts and labor used in servicing them for customers.\nIn the second quarter Axcelis recognized over $100 million in systems revenue for the first time since 2004, highlighting the appetite of semiconductor producers for increasing manufacturing capacity.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2019\n2020\nH1 2021\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$342.9 million\n$474.5 million\n$280.0 million\n\n\nEarnings per share\n$0.50\n$1.46\n$1.03\n\n\n\nData source: Axcelis Technologies.\nThe company is also consistently profitable, generating $0.55 in Q2 earnings per share, which was 41% more than the same quarter last year and contributed to a strong 2021 first half result.\nAt this stage, Axcelis is on track to exceed analyst expectations of $1.95 in full-year earnings per share and quadruple its 2019 result.\nInvestor takeaways\nAxcelis has issued third-quarter forecasts of $170 million in revenue and $0.70 in earnings per share. It would represent 15% and 27% growth respectively on a sequential basis when compared to the second quarter, indicating financial performance is accelerating into the end of the year.\nAxcelis shares trade at 24 times the company's $1.77 in trailing-12-month earnings per share, which is a steep discount to the 37.3 times multiple for the iShares Semiconductor ETF. With a market capitalization of just $1.5 billion the company flies under the radar, and doesn't get as much credit as large semiconductor producers despite growing just as fast as some of them.\nAdvanced computing will continue expanding into more parts of our lives, so demand for more powerful chips isn't going away in the foreseeable future. This company is a great way to invest in the industry as it builds more capacity to meet the needs of the digital world.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":892720018,"gmtCreate":1628690452234,"gmtModify":1631888553666,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/892720018","repostId":"1176064649","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176064649","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1628689298,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176064649?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-11 21:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Virgin Galactic shares tumbles nearly 9% in early trading.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176064649","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Virgin Galactic shares tumbles nearly 9% in early trading,as Morgan Stanley Downgrades to 'Underweig","content":"<p>Virgin&nbsp;Galactic&nbsp;shares&nbsp;tumbles&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;9%&nbsp;in&nbsp;early&nbsp;trading,as Morgan Stanley Downgrades to 'Underweight' as Sole Mothership 'Eve' Will Be Grounded for 8-Months for Upgrades.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51f8eb1092f5c38cd7b5a92ce5b90cde\" tg-width=\"896\" tg-height=\"635\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Morgan Stanley&nbsp;analyst Kristine Liwag downgraded (NYSE: SPCE) to “Underweight” from “Equal-weight” as the company’s sole mothership Eve is grounded for enhancements for 8 months starting in September.</p>\n<p>“We expect shares to return towards long-term valuation of $25 as the company completes a catalyst rich period after Sir Richard Branson’s successful flight and transitions to a prolonged period of no flights.

white-knuckle bets on bitcoin , Chinese electric-vehicle maker NIO <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">$(NIO)$</a>, and videogame-retailer GameStop Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a> over a four-year period, he told MarketWatch in an interview.</p><p>He can technically call himself a millionaire; but, he's risking it all to reach a goal of more than $3 million before 2025.</p><p>In many ways, Dawood's tale represents the new type of buyer on Wall Street, eager to grow wealth and willing to make outsize wagers in the hope of minting boatloads of money on Wall Street -- even if it imperils the entire bet in the process.</p><p>Dawood, who works as a flight attendant for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the world's largest airlines (he declined to identify the company by name), said he saved about $40,000 over four years and invested the entire amount in bitcoin on the Bittrex exchange, among others, at an average price of around $4,200 between Aug. 13 and Aug. 28 of 2017, accumulating 9.71 tokens.</p><p>MarketWatch looked over trade statements that he shared to confirm his transactions.</p><p>\"In my mind, if it gets to $5,000 or $6,000, fine, then I will sell it and be more than happy,\" the 31-year-old told MarketWatch.</p><p>Then mishap struck, he frittered away 3.95 bitcoins by attempting to boost his stake in the digital asset by selling as the price rose in the hope of buying more when it retreated in value.</p><p>\"But it didn't work. Every time I sold, it just went higher, and I bought again quickly, I kept repeating and thus reduced my bitcoin to 5.76 bitcoin,\" he explained.</p><p>It turned out to be an error that slashed about $70,000 from his account, at that time.</p><p>Dawood said that he eventually sold his remaining bitcoin to a man he met through www.localbitcoins.com , a site that matches buyers and sellers of crypto and touts human-to-human transactions.</p><p>The buyer wanted to wire him the sale proceeds but Dawood felt more comfortable meeting in a public place. Dawood arranged to meet at a nearby Dubai mall.</p><p>He accepted 370,000 Emirati Dirham , the equivalent of about $100,000 at the time, in exchange for his 5.76 bitcoin.</p><p>\"I counted the [money] and then deposited [it] in my 2 bank accounts in separate transactions.</p><p>For most people, this is where the story ends, especially after taking a nearly 4-bitcoin profit in his crypto foray.</p><p>However, Dawood was itching to find a fresh investment. So he bought 15,500 shares of NIO at $4.64 on Jan. 23, 2020, and another chunk of 6,565 shares at $4.12 days later as the stock slipped, before making a final purchase of 2,055 shares at $12.79 in July.</p><p>In total, he was holding on to more than 24,000 NIO shares, which cost him a little over $125,000, including an additional $25,000 that he accumulated from winning bets in Organigram Holdings (OG<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00999\">I.T</a>), and Canadian cannabis company Aphria, which was bought by rival <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TLRY\">Tilray Inc.</a>  in a deal announced earlier this year.</p><p>Nearly a year after his January 2020 buy, Dawood sold his more than 24,000 shares of NIO in December, bought at an average price of $7.18, at $46.603 for a total of $1.124 million, trading statements reviewed by MarketWatch show.</p><p>Then, he took the money from his NIO investment and poured the entire sum into GameStop Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME.AU\">$(GME.AU)$</a>, purchasing more than 50,500 shares on Dec. 28, 2020 at around $22.</p><p>\"It's a stupid move, I agree,\" he told MarketWatch. \"And my friends and my family all told me not to.\" But Dawood did it anyway.</p><p>Tales of thrill-seeking investors appear to be growing against a backdrop of a stock market that is flush with liquidity from central banks across the globe and a prevailing climate of low interest rates that have emboldened investors young and old to carve out paths that might make the likes of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA)(BRKA) CEO Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch grimace.</p><p>Brokerages, offering zero-commission trades are riding this wave of new investors. Fidelity Investments, for example, said that it added 4.1 million new accounts , according to data from JMP Securities, as stuck-at-home investors used pandemic stimulus funds to make stock bets.</p><p>National Securities chief market strategist Art Hogan said that \"there are literally thousands of stories\" like Dawood's that \"worked out the other way.\"</p><p>\"To me, this is a great sideshow story that really has nothing to do with investing whatsoever, but it's the nature of what's happening now,\" Hogan said.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average , the S&amp;P 500 index  and the Nasdaq Composite Index  have seen choppy trade in recent weeks, but indexes aren't that far from record highs as investors wrestle with the prospect of higher inflation and a sizzling post-pandemic economy.</p><p>A recent New York Times article made crypto trader Glauber Contessoto  famous, after documenting the 33-year-old's outlandish, leveraged bets on \"meme\" asset dogecoin , which had made him roughly $2 million as of early to mid-May.</p><p>Dogecoin has taken a precipitous drop along with the rest of the crypto complex since then, however.</p><p>See:Individual investors are back--here's what it means for the stock market</p><p>Dawood says that he wants people to know his story because he thinks that too few of his friends and people his age are investing and he believes that saving isn't enough to grow wealth.</p><p>There are a couple of things to know about Dawood's GameStop wager. Had he been as patient with his GME bet as he was with NIO, he would be a millionaire many times over.</p><p>His shares would have been worth $17.5 million had he sold GameStop around the peak in January, and those shares would still be worth around $12 million if he owned them today.</p><p>But he says he sold them at $33 because a paper profit isn't profit at all.</p><p>Despite this, Dawood grew his portfolio to roughly $1.7 million. Nothing to sneeze at, but hardly the money that he could have made.</p><p>Does he have any regrets? \"Of course,\" he said. But he's living with it.</p><p>So what did Dawood do with the proceeds from GameStop?</p><p>He put it back in NIO and that is where it will stay until it hits $100. He's already lost a chunk on that wager. NIO is trading at $37.92 as of Wednesday, or about half of where Dawood originally bought it.</p><p>Meanwhile, he has been supplementing his income by selling covered calls against his investment portfolio. A call is an option that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying asset at a specified strike price by a certain time.</p><p>By selling calls, Dawood is effectively betting that the price won't rise above the strike price, while collecting the premium paid by the buyer for the option.</p><p>Check out:How an options-trading frenzy is lifting stocks and stirring fears of a market bubble</p><p>If his stocks rise in value above the strike price, he pays the option buyer the difference between the equity price and the strike price. If the stock falls or doesn't rise enough to hit the exercise price, he keeps the premium paid by the option buyer. He's earned tens of thousands using that strategy so far and has lived off some of that income and invested it in NIO, most recently.</p><p>Dawood is currently on an eight-month unpaid leave from his airline gig as much of the world attempts to emerge from COVID. His expenses are minimal.</p><p>His company pays for his apartment, where he has lived for a number of years and he drives a modest vehicle for a would-be millionaire: a 2011 Ford Figo:</p><p>He said that he plans to end his high-risk parlays once he hits $3 million, at which point he may buy property and purchase something more staid and secure than meme stocks and crypto.</p><p>\"I will tell you that when you contemplate things like that, when you say to yourself 'when I get to this amount, I will stop' or whatever your goal is...you're really just rolling the dice,\" the National Securities' Hogan added.</p><p>\"Congratulations to him for how it's turned out so far...but this isn't investing, it's gambling,\" Hogan said.</p><p>Right now, Dawood isn't blinking, despite NIO's recent slump. \"I believe in NIO,\" he said and plus, \"Tesla Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">$(TSLA)$</a> was too expensive for me,\" he said.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Every time I sold, it just went higher, and I bought again quickly, I kept repeating and thus reduced my bitcoin to 5.76 bitcoin,\" he explained.It turned out to be an error that slashed about $70,000 from his account, at that time.Dawood said that he eventually sold his remaining bitcoin to a man he met through www.localbitcoins.com , a site that matches buyers and sellers of crypto and touts human-to-human transactions.The buyer wanted to wire him the sale proceeds but Dawood felt more comfortable meeting in a public place. Dawood arranged to meet at a nearby Dubai mall.He accepted 370,000 Emirati Dirham , the equivalent of about $100,000 at the time, in exchange for his 5.76 bitcoin.\"I counted the [money] and then deposited [it] in my 2 bank accounts in separate transactions.For most people, this is where the story ends, especially after taking a nearly 4-bitcoin profit in his crypto foray.However, Dawood was itching to find a fresh investment.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

Still, the S&P and the Dow remained inside one percentage point of their record closing highs.\"Thematically, we're done with earnings, so you have this lull in between earnings when what drives the market is economic data points,\" said Joseph Sroka, chief investment officer at NovaPoint in Atlanta. \"There's not a lot of impetus for investors to take action today.\"\"There's been this flip-flop between whether inflation will be transitory or persistent, and the next card that gets flipped over for that is the CPI report on Thursday,\" Sroka added.Small-caps outperformed as the ongoing retail frenzy boosted stocks whose recent explosive trading volumes have been attributed to social media buzz.AMC Entertainment Holdings jumped 14.8%, extending the previous week's 85% gain.Other so-called \"meme stocks,\" including GameStop and US-listed shares of Blackberry advanced between 7% and 14%.\"You've seen a decades-long, technology-enabled democratisation of the market and there's certainly groups of individual investors that flock to these ideas,\" Sroka said. \"We're seeing speculative trading in an age of multiple outlets and social media amplifies the news.\"The Group of Seven (G-7) advanced economies agreed on Saturday to back a minimum global corporate tax rate of at least 15%, a move Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called a \"significant, unprecedented commitment\" to bring what she called a race to the bottom on global taxation.Lawmakers in Washington are doubling down on efforts to craft a bipartisan infrastructure spending package, with House Democrats expected to bring a bill to vote as early as Wednesday.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 126.15 points, or 0.36%, to 34,630.24; the S&P 500 lost 3.37 points, or 0.08%, at 4,226.52; and the Nasdaq Composite added 67.23 points, or 0.49%, at 13,881.72.Of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, seven lost ground, with materials suffering the largest percentage drop.Real estate led the gainers.Shares of Biogen Inc surged 38.3% following news that the US Food and Drug Administration approved its Alzheimer's disease drug aducanumab.Data centre operator QTS Realty Trust jumped 21.2% on reports of a takeover deal by investment firm Blackstone Group worth $6.7 billion.

All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo.

At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. </p>\n<p>Overall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Here Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHere Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 23:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","WFC":"富国银行","USB":"美国合众银行","SYF":"Synchrony Financial"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2137906121","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, Warren Buffett, made during the period.

But so long as the front-end remains in check, the Fed also has the option of standing pat.SocGen’s Rajappa doesn’t see a catalyst for them to shift IOER or RRP rates and said that even if the Fed did tweak them “there will still be demand for the reverse repo facility.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197030215,"gmtCreate":1621408867437,"gmtModify":1634189387517,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/197030215","repostId":"1147082881","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147082881","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621408475,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1147082881?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-19 15:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla China Demand Slumps, Adding to Headaches After Protest","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147082881","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Tesla stock slipped more than 2% in premarket trading.Tesla Inc.’s growth in China slowed precipitou","content":"<p>Tesla&nbsp;stock&nbsp;slipped&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;2%&nbsp;in premarket trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8222f2434b953514ef24bd935d5e2ad\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"663\"></p><p>Tesla Inc.’s growth in China slowed precipitously last month, adding to the company’s headaches after an embarrassingprotestat the Shanghai Auto Show and a run of accidents involving its electric cars.</p><p>In April, 11,949 China-built Teslas were registered in the country, according to data from state-backed China Automotive Information Net.

Typically I would only look to buy a stock growing at 20% at a 16x sales multiple or lower. Here's how I think about it: I expect ZM to achieve 40% net margins upon maturity. Slap on a 30x earnings multiple, and ZM should trade around 12x sales upon maturity. With the stock trading at 35x sales, the company needs to grow revenues by 200% just before the valuation catches up to the stock.</p>\n<p>If one is set on owning ZM, then it may be preferable to sell a covered call option against the position - perhaps the June 2022 expiration with strike price of $400 is attractive at $30 per option. That would generate an approximate 10% return over the next year even if ZM stays in place, while allowing for an additional 33% upside. My personal take is that the stock appears generously priced even if paired with such a strategy - investors may be better served waiting either for lower prices or for greater clarity regarding forward growth rates.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Zoom Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIs Zoom Stock A Buy Or Sell Now?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-17 22:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429290-zoom-stock-buy-or-sell-now><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nIs the lockdown trade over?\nZM has traded down almost 40% since all time highs.\nThe company reported 369% growth in the latest quarter.\nI analyze the stock as we move beyond the pandemic, and...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429290-zoom-stock-buy-or-sell-now\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"ZM":"Zoom"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429290-zoom-stock-buy-or-sell-now","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1143399225","content_text":"Summary\n\nIs the lockdown trade over?\nZM has traded down almost 40% since all time highs.\nThe company reported 369% growth in the latest quarter.\nI analyze the stock as we move beyond the pandemic, and give my verdict whether the stock is a buy, sell, or hold.\n\nPhoto by Alistair Berg/DigitalVision via Getty Images\nZoom Video (ZM) is a stock which seems to rarely trade at anything close to a reasonable valuation.

ZM has taken market share within the video conferencing space at an aggressive pace versus competitors.\n(2020 Q4 Presentation)\nAs a user of Zoom myself, I can attest to the notion that the company’s service appears to be of a much higher quality than competitors - especially that from Cisco’s Webex (CSCO).\nIs ZM A Buy Or Sell\nEven with a promising outlook, is the stock cheap enough to buy? After the recent selloff, the stock now sells for 35 times trailing sales. Analysts are expecting growth to slow down to the 20% range after this year.\n(Seeking Alpha)\nWith shares trading at 24 times forward sales, it is very difficult for me to recommend buying shares in light of 20% forward growth. Typically I would only look to buy a stock growing at 20% at a 16x sales multiple or lower. Here's how I think about it: I expect ZM to achieve 40% net margins upon maturity. Slap on a 30x earnings multiple, and ZM should trade around 12x sales upon maturity. With the stock trading at 35x sales, the company needs to grow revenues by 200% just before the valuation catches up to the stock.\nIf one is set on owning ZM, then it may be preferable to sell a covered call option against the position - perhaps the June 2022 expiration with strike price of $400 is attractive at $30 per option. That would generate an approximate 10% return over the next year even if ZM stays in place, while allowing for an additional 33% upside. My personal take is that the stock appears generously priced even if paired with such a strategy - investors may be better served waiting either for lower prices or for greater clarity regarding forward growth rates.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836861267,"gmtCreate":1629470278659,"gmtModify":1631884108290,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/836861267","repostId":"1104380958","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119359812,"gmtCreate":1622522038236,"gmtModify":1634100847603,"author":{"id":"3578627371212593","authorId":"3578627371212593","name":"TinySloth","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614de352b134e2f119866af27cdd9409","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578627371212593","authorIdStr":"3578627371212593"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please","listText":"Like please","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119359812","repostId":"1105273964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105273964","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622511256,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105273964?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-01 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the 11 Best Performing IPOs of the Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105273964","media":"Barron's","summary":"The market for initial public offerings has recently delivered some great first-day gains for investors who were able to get shares before the companies went public.That left us with 11 names.

After the expected flight of Unity 23in September 2021, the company’s sole mothership, Eve, will be grounded for an 8 month enhancement period. During this heavy maintenance period, Virgin Galactic will not be able to conduct any space flights until summer of 2022. We view it positively that the company is investing in increasing its long-term space flight capacity; however, these investments take time,” Liwag wrote in a note sent to clients.</p>\n<p>The enhancements planned will improve Eve and allow it to fly more than once per week. Before the Eve is grounded, the company has scheduled an additional flight test for September this year.
