meeting will be in focus this week, and may set the stage for a long-awaited announcement of asset-purchase tapering. Meanwhile, traders will also await more data on the U.S. economic recovery with the Labor Department's monthly jobs report later this week.</p>\n<p>The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) November meeting will take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, with the policy statement and press conference from the meeting serving as the central bank's penultimate opportunity this year to announce formal plans to begin rolling back its crisis-era quantitative easing program. For the past year-and-a-half, the central bank has been purchasing $120 billion per month in agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries, as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> major tool to support the economy during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>In late September, the FOMC's latest monetary policy statement and press conference from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/POWL\">Powell</a> suggested the central bank was apt to announce the start of tapering before year-end, and continue the tapering process until \"around the middle of next year.\"</p>\n<p>\"The upcoming FOMC meeting will be important for three reasons: 1) the announcement of tapering; 2) guidance around what tapering means for the path of hikes; and 3) nuanced changes in views around inflation risks given recent data,\" wrote <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> economist Michelle Meyer in a note.</p>\n<p>\"The statement that announces the new pace of asset purchases will be followed by a note regarding flexibility stating that asset purchases are not on a pre-set course and will depend on the outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as an assessment of the efficacy of asset purchases,\" she predicted.</p>\n<p>She noted that Powell may also use the press conference to reiterate that the end of tapering would not necessarily indicate the start of rate hikes, and that both policy actions are distinct. In previous public remarks, Powell has already made a similar point in previous public remarks, saying, \"the timing and pace of the coming reduction in asset purchases will not be intended to carry a direct signal regarding the timing of interest rate liftoff.\"</p>\n<p>Given the market has been anticipating the start to tapering for months now, speculation around when the Fed will make a move on interest rates has become a point of particular interest to investors. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISBC\">Investors</a> and economists have mulled whether the Fed may need to act more quickly than previously telegraphed on adjusting interest rates to stave off inflation, which has proven more long-lasting than some had suggested.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0f0ae63a784eef5578397df02340483\" tg-width=\"4932\" tg-height=\"3288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC.

And earlier this month, Powell acknowledged in public remarks that the supply chain constraints and shortages that spurred the latest rise in prices are \"likely to last longer than previously expected, likely well into next year.\"</p>\n<p>While the central bank will not release an updated Summary of Economic Projections with their policy statement on Wednesday, the latest projections from the September meeting suggested the committee was split on rate hikes for 2022, with nine members seeing no rate hikes by the end of next year while the other nine members saw at least <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> hike.</p>\n<p>\"I think the Fed has pretty well determined to start the taper pretty quickly. We expect them to announce it next week and then start it soon thereafter, so that's pretty well carved in stone,\" Kathy Jones, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCHW\">Charles Schwab</a> chief fixed income strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week. \"I think the big debate now is how quickly the Fed moves toward actually raising rates. The expectation in the market has really shifted to expecting as many as two rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 ... that’s a pretty aggressive pace of tightening.\"</p>\n<h2>October jobs report</h2>\n<p>One of this week's most closely watched pieces of economic data will be the October jobs report, which is due for release on Friday from the Labor Department.</p>\n<p>Economists are looking to see a pick-up in the pace of hiring for October after a disappointing print in September, when just 194,000 non-farm payrolls returned versus the half million expected. Over the past two months, payroll gains averaged at just 280,000. The unemployment rate is expected to take another small step toward pre-pandemic levels in October as well, with the jobless rate anticipated to dip to 4.7% from 4.8% the prior month.</p>\n<p>Still, the labor market has still fallen short its pre-pandemic conditions on a number of fronts. The unemployment rate has yet to return to its 50-year low of 3.5% from February 2020. And as of September, the civilian labor force was still down by about 3.1 million individuals from pre-virus levels.</p>\n<p>One factor weighing on the labor market in August and September was the Delta variant, which may have deterred some workers from seeking employment in person for risk of infection. And an ongoing element dragging on the labor market's recovery has been a mismatch of supply and demand, with employers struggling to fill a near-record number of job openings while voluntary quits jumped to a historically high level.</p>\n<p>\"Next week’s October payrolls report will shed light on whether supply eased on diminishing constraints or if the labor market continues to face headwinds for now,\" wrote Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, in a note last week.</p>\n<p>But some data from the past couple weeks has reflected favorably on conditions in the labor market in October. Weekly new unemployment claims broke below 300,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic during the survey week for the October jobs report, or the week that includes the 12th of the month. And in the Conference Board's October Consumer Confidence Index, just 10.6% of consumers said jobs were \"hard to get,\" down from 13.0% in September. That brought the Conference Board's closely watched labor market differential, or percentage of consumers saying jobs are \"hard to get\" subtracted from the percentage saying jobs \"are plentiful,\" to 45, or its highest level since 2000.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRKT\">Markit</a> U.S. Manufacturing PMI, Oct. final (59.3 expected, 59.2 in September); Constructing spending, month-over-month, September (0.4% expected, 0.0% in August); ISM Manufacturing Index, Oct.

Meanwhile, traders will also await more data on the U.S. economic recovery with the Labor Department's monthly jobs report later this week.\nThe Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) November meeting will take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, with the policy statement and press conference from the meeting serving as the central bank's penultimate opportunity this year to announce formal plans to begin rolling back its crisis-era quantitative easing program. For the past year-and-a-half, the central bank has been purchasing $120 billion per month in agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries, as one major tool to support the economy during the pandemic.\nIn late September, the FOMC's latest monetary policy statement and press conference from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested the central bank was apt to announce the start of tapering before year-end, and continue the tapering process until \"around the middle of next year.\"\n\"The upcoming FOMC meeting will be important for three reasons: 1) the announcement of tapering; 2) guidance around what tapering means for the path of hikes; and 3) nuanced changes in views around inflation risks given recent data,\" wrote Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer in a note.\n\"The statement that announces the new pace of asset purchases will be followed by a note regarding flexibility stating that asset purchases are not on a pre-set course and will depend on the outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as an assessment of the efficacy of asset purchases,\" she predicted.\nShe noted that Powell may also use the press conference to reiterate that the end of tapering would not necessarily indicate the start of rate hikes, and that both policy actions are distinct. In previous public remarks, Powell has already made a similar point in previous public remarks, saying, \"the timing and pace of the coming reduction in asset purchases will not be intended to carry a direct signal regarding the timing of interest rate liftoff.\"\nGiven the market has been anticipating the start to tapering for months now, speculation around when the Fed will make a move on interest rates has become a point of particular interest to investors. Investors and economists have mulled whether the Fed may need to act more quickly than previously telegraphed on adjusting interest rates to stave off inflation, which has proven more long-lasting than some had suggested.\nWASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin are testifying about the CARES Act and the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

And earlier this month, Powell acknowledged in public remarks that the supply chain constraints and shortages that spurred the latest rise in prices are \"likely to last longer than previously expected, likely well into next year.\"\nWhile the central bank will not release an updated Summary of Economic Projections with their policy statement on Wednesday, the latest projections from the September meeting suggested the committee was split on rate hikes for 2022, with nine members seeing no rate hikes by the end of next year while the other nine members saw at least one hike.\n\"I think the Fed has pretty well determined to start the taper pretty quickly. We expect them to announce it next week and then start it soon thereafter, so that's pretty well carved in stone,\" Kathy Jones, Charles Schwab chief fixed income strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week. \"I think the big debate now is how quickly the Fed moves toward actually raising rates. The expectation in the market has really shifted to expecting as many as two rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 ... that’s a pretty aggressive pace of tightening.\"\nOctober jobs report\nOne of this week's most closely watched pieces of economic data will be the October jobs report, which is due for release on Friday from the Labor Department.\nEconomists are looking to see a pick-up in the pace of hiring for October after a disappointing print in September, when just 194,000 non-farm payrolls returned versus the half million expected. Over the past two months, payroll gains averaged at just 280,000. The unemployment rate is expected to take another small step toward pre-pandemic levels in October as well, with the jobless rate anticipated to dip to 4.7% from 4.8% the prior month.\nStill, the labor market has still fallen short its pre-pandemic conditions on a number of fronts. The unemployment rate has yet to return to its 50-year low of 3.5% from February 2020. And as of September, the civilian labor force was still down by about 3.1 million individuals from pre-virus levels.\nOne factor weighing on the labor market in August and September was the Delta variant, which may have deterred some workers from seeking employment in person for risk of infection. And an ongoing element dragging on the labor market's recovery has been a mismatch of supply and demand, with employers struggling to fill a near-record number of job openings while voluntary quits jumped to a historically high level.\n\"Next week’s October payrolls report will shed light on whether supply eased on diminishing constraints or if the labor market continues to face headwinds for now,\" wrote Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, in a note last week.\nBut some data from the past couple weeks has reflected favorably on conditions in the labor market in October. Weekly new unemployment claims broke below 300,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic during the survey week for the October jobs report, or the week that includes the 12th of the month. And in the Conference Board's October Consumer Confidence Index, just 10.6% of consumers said jobs were \"hard to get,\" down from 13.0% in September. That brought the Conference Board's closely watched labor market differential, or percentage of consumers saying jobs are \"hard to get\" subtracted from the percentage saying jobs \"are plentiful,\" to 45, or its highest level since 2000.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Markit U.S. Manufacturing PMI, Oct. final (59.3 expected, 59.2 in September); Constructing spending, month-over-month, September (0.4% expected, 0.0% in August); ISM Manufacturing Index, Oct.

Square</h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Analyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Digital banking is a real threat to the traditional banking industry because of its lower costs to acquire users, and fintech company <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) is among those leading the charge. The company is growing its Cash App, which enables users to store and send money.&nbsp;Now with 40 million monthly users, Cash App has a long growth runway ahead of it. Square is seeking to complement its business with new features over time, such as Buy Now and Pay Later via <b>Afterpay</b>.</p>\n<p>The Afterpay acquisition will give it access to 16 million consumers located both inside and outside of the United States. It could give the company momentum for expansion of Cash App in new markets, especially those where consumers are underbanked, like in emerging markets. Square reported net income of $574 million for Q2 2021 which was an increase of 89% year over year. In addition, the company has experienced revenue growth of 188% over the past three years. With more opportunities to expand on the horizon, this stock could be a great place for tech investors to look.</p>\n<h2>2. Tesla</h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Analyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><b>Tesla</b>'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Model S pioneered the electric vehicle industry a decade ago. It's continuing to ramp up its deliveries years later, and Tesla could continue to grow through its other ventures, including solar energy and autonomous driving. The electric car market is growing more than 20% per year and the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 34% by 2027. So Tesla's leadership (79% market share in the U.S.) in the category could translate to ongoing growth over the coming years.</p>\n<p>Tesla's revenue has grown 50% per year on average over the past five years, and the business is thriving. The Cybertruck hasn't yet entered production, and its presence could further disrupt legacy automakers, especially domestic competitors who rely on pickup trucks as their most profitable models. As the company reported net income of $1 billion for the second quarter which was nearly a 1,000% gain over last year, investors have plenty to look forward to.</p>\n<h2>3. Netflix</h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Analyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:</td>\n   <td>30%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Young investors might have a hard time believing that there was no such thing as streaming just over a decade ago. <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) transitioned from mail-order DVDs to streaming content in 2007, and the rest is history. Today, Netflix makes much of its own content and is expanding outside of the United States, while getting into gaming, which could continue to drive its growth moving forward.</p>\n<p>The company has spent years investing to build its own content, no longer relying on third-party partners to license it. Netflix has begun to generate robust operating cash flow, $713 million over the first six months of this year, despite investing a whopping $7 billion in new content. This high rate of investment creates a competitive moat that few others can afford to spend to compete with. Since Netflix has reported net income growth of 128% and revenue growth of 58% over the past three years, the company's content investment seems worthwhile.</p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Analyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:</td>\n   <td>22%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Social media is now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the primary ways people interact, maintain relationships, and make friends. <b>Facebook</b> (NASDAQ:FB) not only owns its namesake social media platform but other leading networks such as Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp. Altogether, more than 2.8 billion people use a Facebook product each month. That massive number of users creates substantial revenue streams for the company through advertising. Over the past five years, the company has reported revenue growth of 211% and net income growth of 185%, showing the billions of users have translated into serious cash.</p>\n<p>Facebook's long-term frontier has become the metaverse, which Mark Zuckerberg has personally stressed the importance of to the company's future. The company already owns virtual reality hardware company Oculus and is dedicating a full staff to working on its metaverse business. The metaverse could be worth as much as $280 billion by 2025, and Facebook wants to make sure its advertising presence is felt within it.</p>\n<h2>5. Shopify</h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Analyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Small businesses need to compete in e-commerce to thrive in today's environment, and <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP) helps them do it by providing the software for any merchant to own and operate an online store. More than 1.7 million merchants use Shopify's platform, and it cumulatively drives more web traffic than Amazon. There are tens of millions of merchants around the world, providing a huge addressable market for Shopify, which could continue growing for years. That addressable market has already shown growth with the company reporting revenue of $1 billion in the second quarter, up 57% year over year.</p>\n<p>As of this summer, Shopify is now powering e-commerce functions within TikTok, the video-based social media platform with one billion monthly active users. E-commerce and social media have begun to integrate in recent years, and Shopify's new presence on TikTok could \"move the needle\" on growing that 1.7 million merchant base.

Technology is evolving, and traditionally non-technical industries are being infiltrated by innovation as time goes by. High-quality technology stocks can provide robust investment returns over the long term.\nBut tech stocks can be tricky, often unprofitable, and innovation from competition remains a constant threat. Consider these five high-quality tech stocks enjoying \"big picture\" growth trends as potential building blocks for your portfolio.\nImage Source: Getty Images.\n1. Square\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n31%\n\n\n\nDigital banking is a real threat to the traditional banking industry because of its lower costs to acquire users, and fintech company Square (NYSE:SQ) is among those leading the charge. The company is growing its Cash App, which enables users to store and send money. Now with 40 million monthly users, Cash App has a long growth runway ahead of it. Square is seeking to complement its business with new features over time, such as Buy Now and Pay Later via Afterpay.\nThe Afterpay acquisition will give it access to 16 million consumers located both inside and outside of the United States. It could give the company momentum for expansion of Cash App in new markets, especially those where consumers are underbanked, like in emerging markets. Square reported net income of $574 million for Q2 2021 which was an increase of 89% year over year. In addition, the company has experienced revenue growth of 188% over the past three years. With more opportunities to expand on the horizon, this stock could be a great place for tech investors to look.\n2. Tesla\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n37%\n\n\n\nTesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Model S pioneered the electric vehicle industry a decade ago. It's continuing to ramp up its deliveries years later, and Tesla could continue to grow through its other ventures, including solar energy and autonomous driving. The electric car market is growing more than 20% per year and the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 34% by 2027. So Tesla's leadership (79% market share in the U.S.) in the category could translate to ongoing growth over the coming years.\nTesla's revenue has grown 50% per year on average over the past five years, and the business is thriving. The Cybertruck hasn't yet entered production, and its presence could further disrupt legacy automakers, especially domestic competitors who rely on pickup trucks as their most profitable models. As the company reported net income of $1 billion for the second quarter which was nearly a 1,000% gain over last year, investors have plenty to look forward to.\n3. Netflix\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n30%\n\n\n\nYoung investors might have a hard time believing that there was no such thing as streaming just over a decade ago. Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) transitioned from mail-order DVDs to streaming content in 2007, and the rest is history. Today, Netflix makes much of its own content and is expanding outside of the United States, while getting into gaming, which could continue to drive its growth moving forward.\nThe company has spent years investing to build its own content, no longer relying on third-party partners to license it. Netflix has begun to generate robust operating cash flow, $713 million over the first six months of this year, despite investing a whopping $7 billion in new content. This high rate of investment creates a competitive moat that few others can afford to spend to compete with. Since Netflix has reported net income growth of 128% and revenue growth of 58% over the past three years, the company's content investment seems worthwhile.\n4. Facebook\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n22%\n\n\n\nSocial media is now one of the primary ways people interact, maintain relationships, and make friends. Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) not only owns its namesake social media platform but other leading networks such as Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp. Altogether, more than 2.8 billion people use a Facebook product each month. That massive number of users creates substantial revenue streams for the company through advertising. Over the past five years, the company has reported revenue growth of 211% and net income growth of 185%, showing the billions of users have translated into serious cash.\nFacebook's long-term frontier has become the metaverse, which Mark Zuckerberg has personally stressed the importance of to the company's future. The company already owns virtual reality hardware company Oculus and is dedicating a full staff to working on its metaverse business. The metaverse could be worth as much as $280 billion by 2025, and Facebook wants to make sure its advertising presence is felt within it.\n5. Shopify\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n27%\n\n\n\nSmall businesses need to compete in e-commerce to thrive in today's environment, and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) helps them do it by providing the software for any merchant to own and operate an online store. More than 1.7 million merchants use Shopify's platform, and it cumulatively drives more web traffic than Amazon. There are tens of millions of merchants around the world, providing a huge addressable market for Shopify, which could continue growing for years. That addressable market has already shown growth with the company reporting revenue of $1 billion in the second quarter, up 57% year over year.\nAs of this summer, Shopify is now powering e-commerce functions within TikTok, the video-based social media platform with one billion monthly active users. E-commerce and social media have begun to integrate in recent years, and Shopify's new presence on TikTok could \"move the needle\" on growing that 1.7 million merchant base. This growth could be the tip of the iceberg for this company in the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":861210648,"gmtCreate":1632497098284,"gmtModify":1632715882005,"author":{"id":"3579308476093838","authorId":"3579308476093838","name":"Valsprout","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8bbd8a6ddb18228c52696eef4c4d28df","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/861210648","repostId":"1114004721","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":822507825,"gmtCreate":1634138910256,"gmtModify":1634138910332,"author":{"id":"3579308476093838","authorId":"3579308476093838","name":"Valsprout","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8bbd8a6ddb18228c52696eef4c4d28df","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/822507825","repostId":"2175157695","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2175157695","pubTimestamp":1634127300,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2175157695?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-13 20:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Top Tech Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2175157695","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"If you're looking for long-term winning tech stocks to diversify your portfolio, start here.","content":"<p>The world we live in is more digital than ever.

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) not only owns its namesake social media platform but other leading networks such as Instagram and messaging app WhatsApp. Altogether, more than 2.8 billion people use a Facebook product each month. That massive number of users creates substantial revenue streams for the company through advertising. Over the past five years, the company has reported revenue growth of 211% and net income growth of 185%, showing the billions of users have translated into serious cash.\nFacebook's long-term frontier has become the metaverse, which Mark Zuckerberg has personally stressed the importance of to the company's future. The company already owns virtual reality hardware company Oculus and is dedicating a full staff to working on its metaverse business. The metaverse could be worth as much as $280 billion by 2025, and Facebook wants to make sure its advertising presence is felt within it.\n5. Shopify\n\n\n\nAnalyst estimated 3-5 year earnings per share growth rate:\n27%\n\n\n\nSmall businesses need to compete in e-commerce to thrive in today's environment, and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) helps them do it by providing the software for any merchant to own and operate an online store. More than 1.7 million merchants use Shopify's platform, and it cumulatively drives more web traffic than Amazon. There are tens of millions of merchants around the world, providing a huge addressable market for Shopify, which could continue growing for years. That addressable market has already shown growth with the company reporting revenue of $1 billion in the second quarter, up 57% year over year.\nAs of this summer, Shopify is now powering e-commerce functions within TikTok, the video-based social media platform with one billion monthly active users. E-commerce and social media have begun to integrate in recent years, and Shopify's new presence on TikTok could \"move the needle\" on growing that 1.7 million merchant base. This growth could be the tip of the iceberg for this company in the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690844786,"gmtCreate":1639658690747,"gmtModify":1639658798027,"author":{"id":"3579308476093838","authorId":"3579308476093838","name":"Valsprout","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8bbd8a6ddb18228c52696eef4c4d28df","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690844786","repostId":"1191683541","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191683541","pubTimestamp":1639658241,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191683541?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 20:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Biggest Price Target Changes For Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191683541","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Stifel cut the price target on Under Armour, Inc.. from $30 to $24.

Meanwhile, traders will also await more data on the U.S. economic recovery with the Labor Department's monthly jobs report later this week.</p>\n<p>The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) November meeting will take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, with the policy statement and press conference from the meeting serving as the central bank's penultimate opportunity this year to announce formal plans to begin rolling back its crisis-era quantitative easing program. For the past year-and-a-half, the central bank has been purchasing $120 billion per month in agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries, as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> major tool to support the economy during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>In late September, the FOMC's latest monetary policy statement and press conference from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/POWL\">Powell</a> suggested the central bank was apt to announce the start of tapering before year-end, and continue the tapering process until \"around the middle of next year.\"</p>\n<p>\"The upcoming FOMC meeting will be important for three reasons: 1) the announcement of tapering; 2) guidance around what tapering means for the path of hikes; and 3) nuanced changes in views around inflation risks given recent data,\" wrote <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> economist Michelle Meyer in a note.</p>\n<p>\"The statement that announces the new pace of asset purchases will be followed by a note regarding flexibility stating that asset purchases are not on a pre-set course and will depend on the outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as an assessment of the efficacy of asset purchases,\" she predicted.</p>\n<p>She noted that Powell may also use the press conference to reiterate that the end of tapering would not necessarily indicate the start of rate hikes, and that both policy actions are distinct. In previous public remarks, Powell has already made a similar point in previous public remarks, saying, \"the timing and pace of the coming reduction in asset purchases will not be intended to carry a direct signal regarding the timing of interest rate liftoff.\"</p>\n<p>Given the market has been anticipating the start to tapering for months now, speculation around when the Fed will make a move on interest rates has become a point of particular interest to investors. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISBC\">Investors</a> and economists have mulled whether the Fed may need to act more quickly than previously telegraphed on adjusting interest rates to stave off inflation, which has proven more long-lasting than some had suggested.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0f0ae63a784eef5578397df02340483\" tg-width=\"4932\" tg-height=\"3288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC.

(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)Drew Angerer via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>In September, core personal consumption expenditures — the Fed's preferred gauge of underlying inflation — rose 3.6% over last year for a fourth consecutive month, coming in at the fastest clip since 1991. And earlier this month, Powell acknowledged in public remarks that the supply chain constraints and shortages that spurred the latest rise in prices are \"likely to last longer than previously expected, likely well into next year.\"</p>\n<p>While the central bank will not release an updated Summary of Economic Projections with their policy statement on Wednesday, the latest projections from the September meeting suggested the committee was split on rate hikes for 2022, with nine members seeing no rate hikes by the end of next year while the other nine members saw at least <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> hike.</p>\n<p>\"I think the Fed has pretty well determined to start the taper pretty quickly. We expect them to announce it next week and then start it soon thereafter, so that's pretty well carved in stone,\" Kathy Jones, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCHW\">Charles Schwab</a> chief fixed income strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week. \"I think the big debate now is how quickly the Fed moves toward actually raising rates. The expectation in the market has really shifted to expecting as many as two rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 ... that’s a pretty aggressive pace of tightening.\"</p>\n<h2>October jobs report</h2>\n<p>One of this week's most closely watched pieces of economic data will be the October jobs report, which is due for release on Friday from the Labor Department.</p>\n<p>Economists are looking to see a pick-up in the pace of hiring for October after a disappointing print in September, when just 194,000 non-farm payrolls returned versus the half million expected. Over the past two months, payroll gains averaged at just 280,000. The unemployment rate is expected to take another small step toward pre-pandemic levels in October as well, with the jobless rate anticipated to dip to 4.7% from 4.8% the prior month.</p>\n<p>Still, the labor market has still fallen short its pre-pandemic conditions on a number of fronts. The unemployment rate has yet to return to its 50-year low of 3.5% from February 2020. And as of September, the civilian labor force was still down by about 3.1 million individuals from pre-virus levels.</p>\n<p>One factor weighing on the labor market in August and September was the Delta variant, which may have deterred some workers from seeking employment in person for risk of infection. And an ongoing element dragging on the labor market's recovery has been a mismatch of supply and demand, with employers struggling to fill a near-record number of job openings while voluntary quits jumped to a historically high level.</p>\n<p>\"Next week’s October payrolls report will shed light on whether supply eased on diminishing constraints or if the labor market continues to face headwinds for now,\" wrote Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, in a note last week.</p>\n<p>But some data from the past couple weeks has reflected favorably on conditions in the labor market in October. Weekly new unemployment claims broke below 300,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic during the survey week for the October jobs report, or the week that includes the 12th of the month. And in the Conference Board's October Consumer Confidence Index, just 10.6% of consumers said jobs were \"hard to get,\" down from 13.0% in September. That brought the Conference Board's closely watched labor market differential, or percentage of consumers saying jobs are \"hard to get\" subtracted from the percentage saying jobs \"are plentiful,\" to 45, or its highest level since 2000.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRKT\">Markit</a> U.S. Manufacturing PMI, Oct. final (59.3 expected, 59.2 in September); Constructing spending, month-over-month, September (0.4% expected, 0.0% in August); ISM Manufacturing Index, Oct.

Meanwhile, traders will also await more data on the U.S. economic recovery with the Labor Department's monthly jobs report later this week.\nThe Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) November meeting will take place from Tuesday to Wednesday, with the policy statement and press conference from the meeting serving as the central bank's penultimate opportunity this year to announce formal plans to begin rolling back its crisis-era quantitative easing program. For the past year-and-a-half, the central bank has been purchasing $120 billion per month in agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries, as one major tool to support the economy during the pandemic.\nIn late September, the FOMC's latest monetary policy statement and press conference from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested the central bank was apt to announce the start of tapering before year-end, and continue the tapering process until \"around the middle of next year.\"\n\"The upcoming FOMC meeting will be important for three reasons: 1) the announcement of tapering; 2) guidance around what tapering means for the path of hikes; and 3) nuanced changes in views around inflation risks given recent data,\" wrote Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer in a note.\n\"The statement that announces the new pace of asset purchases will be followed by a note regarding flexibility stating that asset purchases are not on a pre-set course and will depend on the outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as an assessment of the efficacy of asset purchases,\" she predicted.\nShe noted that Powell may also use the press conference to reiterate that the end of tapering would not necessarily indicate the start of rate hikes, and that both policy actions are distinct. In previous public remarks, Powell has already made a similar point in previous public remarks, saying, \"the timing and pace of the coming reduction in asset purchases will not be intended to carry a direct signal regarding the timing of interest rate liftoff.\"\nGiven the market has been anticipating the start to tapering for months now, speculation around when the Fed will make a move on interest rates has become a point of particular interest to investors. Investors and economists have mulled whether the Fed may need to act more quickly than previously telegraphed on adjusting interest rates to stave off inflation, which has proven more long-lasting than some had suggested.\nWASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin are testifying about the CARES Act and the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

And earlier this month, Powell acknowledged in public remarks that the supply chain constraints and shortages that spurred the latest rise in prices are \"likely to last longer than previously expected, likely well into next year.\"\nWhile the central bank will not release an updated Summary of Economic Projections with their policy statement on Wednesday, the latest projections from the September meeting suggested the committee was split on rate hikes for 2022, with nine members seeing no rate hikes by the end of next year while the other nine members saw at least one hike.\n\"I think the Fed has pretty well determined to start the taper pretty quickly. We expect them to announce it next week and then start it soon thereafter, so that's pretty well carved in stone,\" Kathy Jones, Charles Schwab chief fixed income strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week. \"I think the big debate now is how quickly the Fed moves toward actually raising rates. The expectation in the market has really shifted to expecting as many as two rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 ... that’s a pretty aggressive pace of tightening.\"\nOctober jobs report\nOne of this week's most closely watched pieces of economic data will be the October jobs report, which is due for release on Friday from the Labor Department.\nEconomists are looking to see a pick-up in the pace of hiring for October after a disappointing print in September, when just 194,000 non-farm payrolls returned versus the half million expected. Over the past two months, payroll gains averaged at just 280,000. The unemployment rate is expected to take another small step toward pre-pandemic levels in October as well, with the jobless rate anticipated to dip to 4.7% from 4.8% the prior month.\nStill, the labor market has still fallen short its pre-pandemic conditions on a number of fronts. The unemployment rate has yet to return to its 50-year low of 3.5% from February 2020. And as of September, the civilian labor force was still down by about 3.1 million individuals from pre-virus levels.\nOne factor weighing on the labor market in August and September was the Delta variant, which may have deterred some workers from seeking employment in person for risk of infection. And an ongoing element dragging on the labor market's recovery has been a mismatch of supply and demand, with employers struggling to fill a near-record number of job openings while voluntary quits jumped to a historically high level.\n\"Next week’s October payrolls report will shed light on whether supply eased on diminishing constraints or if the labor market continues to face headwinds for now,\" wrote Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics, in a note last week.\nBut some data from the past couple weeks has reflected favorably on conditions in the labor market in October. Weekly new unemployment claims broke below 300,000 for the first time since the start of the pandemic during the survey week for the October jobs report, or the week that includes the 12th of the month. And in the Conference Board's October Consumer Confidence Index, just 10.6% of consumers said jobs were \"hard to get,\" down from 13.0% in September. That brought the Conference Board's closely watched labor market differential, or percentage of consumers saying jobs are \"hard to get\" subtracted from the percentage saying jobs \"are plentiful,\" to 45, or its highest level since 2000.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Markit U.S. Manufacturing PMI, Oct. final (59.3 expected, 59.2 in September); Constructing spending, month-over-month, September (0.4% expected, 0.0% in August); ISM Manufacturing Index, Oct.

Ended June 30, 2021\n1.4\n\n\n2020\n1.6\n\n\n\nThe Rule of 40 is a software industry rule of thumb that says that as long as the combined revenue growth rate and EBITDA percentage rate equal or exceed 40%, the firm is on an acceptable growth/EBITDA trajectory.\nCWAN’s most recent calculation was 41% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, so the firm has performed well in this regard, per the table below:\n\n\n\n\nRule of 40\nCalculation\n\n\nRecent Rev.
