As part of the deal announced on Thursday, McDonald’s agreed to drop its lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook.</p>\n<p>In a message to employees, Enrique Hernandez Jr., the McDonald’s chairman, said that the company wanted to hold Mr. Easterbrook “accountable for his lies and misconduct, including the way in which he exploited his position as C.E.O.,” and that this settlement achieved that goal.</p>\n<p>Mr. Easterbrook was fired in 2019 after he engaged in a consensual relationship with an employee in violation of company policy, eventually setting off an unusually acrimonious fight between a wealthy executive and one of the country’s most prominent companies.</p>\n<p>At the time of his dismissal, the McDonald’s board determined that Mr. Easterbrook had “demonstrated poor judgment,” but decided not to fire him “for cause” — that is, for being dishonest or committing a criminal act. That decision, the board hoped, would avoid a lengthy legal dispute. It also allowed Mr. Easterbrook to walk away with a compensation package worth more than $40 million. .</p>\n<p>But according to the company’s lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook, his contract contained a provision that would let McDonald’s recoup severance payments if it later determined the employee should have been fired for cause.</p>\n<p>That clause became relevant in 2020, when a McDonald’s employee said that Mr. Easterbrook had a sexual relationship with another subordinate while he was chief executive. The new accusation spurred another investigation of Mr. Easterbrook’s records, and prompted the company to sue him last year, accusing its former chief of lying, concealing evidence and fraud.</p>\n<p>During its investigation into the second accusation, McDonald’s said it found “dozens of nude, partially nude or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women, including photographs of these company employees, that Easterbrook had sent as attachments to messages from his company email account to his personal email account.”</p>\n<p>The company also revealed that Mr. Easterbrook had awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock to one of the women with whom he was having a sexual relationship. In its lawsuit, McDonald’s said that its former chief had lied to investigators in the initial inquiry, and that if he had “been candid with McDonald’s investigators and not concealed evidence, McDonald’s would have known that it had legal cause to terminate him in 2019.”</p>\n<p>Mr. Easterbrook initially decided to fight the lawsuit, and his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss, calling it “meritless and misleading.”</p>\n<p>During his time as chief executive, Mr. Easterbrook sold more than $64 million in stock; when he departed in 2019, the value of the stock and options he had been awarded was worth $41 million. But as McDonald’s stock has soared to $264 a share from $193 in 2019, the value of those stock and options has grown to $89 million, according to the executive compensation consulting firm Equilar. It is not clear whether Mr. Easterbrook sold any of his shares after he left the company.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, with his agreement to return the huge sum of cash and stock to the company, Mr. Easterbrook has effectively conceded what was shaping up to be a long and costly legal battle. Mr. Easterbrook apologized in a statement released by the company.</p>\n<p>“During my tenure as C.E.O., I failed at times to uphold McDonald’s values and fulfill certain of my responsibilities as a leader of the company,” he said. “I apologize to my former co-workers, the board and the company’s franchisees and suppliers for doing so.”</p>\n<p>Under Mr. Easterbrook’s successor,Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s has emerged as a clear winner during the pandemic the past two years. Thanks to a combination of increased drive-through business; a robust push of its mobile app and loyalty programs; and&nbsp;meal collaborations with various celebrities and groups, including the K-pop sensation BTS, revenues at McDonald’s are on track to top $23 billion this year, the highest level in five years.</p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Mr. Kempczinski defended the board’s handling of Mr. Easterbrook’s firing. “I thought they handled it as best as they could,”he said.</p>\n<p>Still, despite the company’s financial gains, a new&nbsp;training&nbsp;program for its restaurants and&nbsp;efforts&nbsp;to improve diversity and inclusion, some critics say not enough has been done to fix other problems that run deep in McDonald’s culture. The fast-food giant has faced myriad lawsuits and claims in recent years, some involving allegations of&nbsp;sexual harassment&nbsp;and others around&nbsp;racial&nbsp;discrimination.</p>\n<p>“McDonald’s should use the money it got back from the former C.E.O. to develop a real plan to stop the rampant sexual harassment occurring from the drive-throughs to the C-suite,” the advocacy group Fight for $15 said in a statement.</p>\n<p>In November, the release oftextmessages between Mr. Kempczinski and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — in which he seemed to blame the deaths of two Black and Latino children on their parents — prompted calls for his resignation. An investment group representing union pension funds issued a shareholder proposal asking McDonald’s to conduct a third-party audit of its policies and practices around the civil rights of employees and consumers. Mr. Kempczinski has repeatedly&nbsp;apologized&nbsp;for the comments.</p>\n<p>Dieter Waizenegger, the executive director of the SOC Investment Group, said that as a shareholder, he was pleased the compensation had been returned, but still felt the board failed to do its job.</p>\n<p>“The board could have saved itself a lot of time and probably a lot in legal fees if they had conducted a thorough initial investigation of Easterbrook’s behavior in the first place,” said Mr. Waizenegger. “This settlement comes after two years of wrangling and airing of dirty laundry in the media.”</p>\n<p>McDonald’s also still faces numerous shareholder lawsuits over the firing of the executive.</p>\n<p>On Thursday, the company said that “Mr. Easterbrook would return equity awards and cash, with&nbsp;a&nbsp;current&nbsp;value of&nbsp;more than&nbsp;$105 million, which&nbsp;he&nbsp;would have forfeited had he been truthful at the time of his termination and, as a result, been terminated for cause.” It did not specify the proportion of cash and stock. McDonald’s shares are up more than 25 percent this year.</p>\n<p>In his more than four years on the job, Mr. Easterbrook was credited with turning around McDonald’s and reviving its languishing stock price. As chief executive, he reduced costs, introduced&nbsp;touch-screen ordering&nbsp;and established all-day breakfast. Shares in the company roughly doubled.</p>\n<p>The clawback of his compensation, while large, is not the biggest in corporate history, although many earlier situations involved allegations of financial or accounting fraud. In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commissionrecoveredmore than $400 million in profits made by William McGuire, the former chief executive of United Health, to settle claims related to a scheme involving the backdating of options. Later, Tyco International sued a former chief executive, Dennis Kozlowski, who had been convicted of looting the company, in an effort&nbsp;to collect&nbsp;$500 million he had received in compensation and benefits.</p>\n<p>“While Steve’s misconduct&nbsp;need&nbsp;not be forgiven by any member of this community, he has apologized to his former co-workers, franchisees, suppliers and the board for the profound errors he made,” said Mr. Hernandez, the McDonald’s chairman. “Today’s resolution avoids a protracted court process and moves us beyond a chapter that belongs in our past.”</p>","source":"lsy1608616134662","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>Former McDonald’s C.E.O.

McDonald’s shares are up more than 25 percent this year.\nIn his more than four years on the job, Mr. Easterbrook was credited with turning around McDonald’s and reviving its languishing stock price. As chief executive, he reduced costs, introduced touch-screen ordering and established all-day breakfast. Shares in the company roughly doubled.\nThe clawback of his compensation, while large, is not the biggest in corporate history, although many earlier situations involved allegations of financial or accounting fraud. In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commissionrecoveredmore than $400 million in profits made by William McGuire, the former chief executive of United Health, to settle claims related to a scheme involving the backdating of options. Later, Tyco International sued a former chief executive, Dennis Kozlowski, who had been convicted of looting the company, in an effort to collect $500 million he had received in compensation and benefits.\n“While Steve’s misconduct need not be forgiven by any member of this community, he has apologized to his former co-workers, franchisees, suppliers and the board for the profound errors he made,” said Mr. Hernandez, the McDonald’s chairman. “Today’s resolution avoids a protracted court process and moves us beyond a chapter that belongs in our past.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690896445,"gmtCreate":1639652393394,"gmtModify":1639652394666,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you tiger broker","listText":"Thank you tiger broker","text":"Thank you tiger broker","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690896445","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":890,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690308587,"gmtCreate":1639628257626,"gmtModify":1639628424628,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":16,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690308587","repostId":"1194895061","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194895061","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1639621523,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194895061?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 10:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO -sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194895061","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 2 (Reuters) - Reddit Inc, the operator of online message boards that became the go-to destinati","content":"<p>Sept 2 (Reuters) - Reddit Inc, the operator of online message boards that became the go-to destination for day traders chasing this year's frenzy for so-called meme stocks, is seeking to hire investment bankers and lawyers for an initial public offering (IPO) in New York, two people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67d50299d6a83535bd2d2bfa4bc31011\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"784\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Reddit was valued at&nbsp;$10 billion in a private fundraising&nbsp;round last month.

About five years ago, returns on capital were 17%, however they're now substantially lower than that as we saw above. On top of that, it's worth noting that the amount of capital employed within the business has remained relatively steady. Companies that exhibit these attributes tend to not be shrinking, but they can be mature and facing pressure on their margins from competition. If these trends continue, we wouldn't expect Telstra to turn into a multi-bagger.</p>\n<h3>What We Can Learn From Telstra's ROCE</h3>\n<p>All in all, the lower returns from the same amount of capital employed aren't exactly signs of a compounding machine. In spite of that, the stock has delivered a 1.3% return to shareholders who held over the last five years. Either way, we aren't huge fans of the current trends and so with that we think you might find better investments elsewhere.</p>","source":"yahoofinance_au","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>Telstra (ASX:TLS) Will Be Looking To Turn Around Its Returns</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\">\nTelstra (ASX:TLS) Will Be Looking To Turn Around Its Returns\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-29 11:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/telstra-asx-tls-looking-turn-031200374.html><strong>Simply Wall St.</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>What underlying fundamental trends can indicate that a company might be in decline?

If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free report for Telstra.\nWhat Does the ROCE Trend For Telstra Tell Us?\nIn terms of Telstra's historical ROCE movements, the trend doesn't inspire confidence. About five years ago, returns on capital were 17%, however they're now substantially lower than that as we saw above. On top of that, it's worth noting that the amount of capital employed within the business has remained relatively steady. Companies that exhibit these attributes tend to not be shrinking, but they can be mature and facing pressure on their margins from competition. If these trends continue, we wouldn't expect Telstra to turn into a multi-bagger.\nWhat We Can Learn From Telstra's ROCE\nAll in all, the lower returns from the same amount of capital employed aren't exactly signs of a compounding machine. In spite of that, the stock has delivered a 1.3% return to shareholders who held over the last five years. Either way, we aren't huge fans of the current trends and so with that we think you might find better investments elsewhere.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":824,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868710033,"gmtCreate":1632704778122,"gmtModify":1632798456082,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868710033","repostId":"2170614125","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":731,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":884778993,"gmtCreate":1631937999912,"gmtModify":1632805193291,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":17,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/884778993","repostId":"1132017913","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132017913","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631921413,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1132017913?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-18 07:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Crime And Punishment: Dennis Kozlowski, Tyco International's Big-Spending Vulgarian","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132017913","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Does crime pay?\nWall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicl","content":"<p><i>Does crime pay?</i></p>\n<p><i>Wall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers, brokers and financial ne’er-do-wells whose ambition and greed take them in the wrong direction.</i></p>\n<p>In&nbsp;<b>Dennis Kozlowski’s</b>&nbsp;mind, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time —&nbsp;specifically, the courts of justice and public opinion in the early 2000s, when the corporate chieftains of&nbsp;<b>Worldcom, Enron</b>and<b>Adelphia,</b>not to mention the ultra-high-profile&nbsp;<b>Martha Stewart,</b>faced humiliating trials and convictions followed by prison sentences.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski, who was convicted on 22 counts of grand larceny, conspiracy and securities fraud and served more than six years in prison following a high-profile leadership reign as CEO of&nbsp;<b>Tyco International,</b>lamented that he would never have faced a legal nightmare if his case came up during the Obama Justice Department era when prosecutions of badly behaved corporate leaders barely occurred.</p>\n<p>“After 2008, nobody was prosecuted,” he grumbled.</p>\n<p>But if Kozlowski’s fall from grace did not take place when the stars were aligned in his favor, he found an ally in time during his post-incarceration years, where access to friendly media outlets have helped to redefine the circumstances of his derailment and allow his reinvention as a self-described martyr to a dysfunctional justice system.</p>\n<p>The Boom Years: Leo Dennis Kozlowski was born Nov. 16, 1946, in Newark, New Jersey. His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.</p>\n<p>He briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.</p>\n<p>He worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”</p>\n<p>And noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.</p>\n<p>“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”\nWhen Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.\nIf it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.\nKozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.\nPrior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.\n“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”\nRedemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”\nIn prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.\nSince his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.\nKozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.\nHe also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.\nKozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”\nAnd noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”\nUltimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.\n“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":175,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888616308,"gmtCreate":1631493014804,"gmtModify":1631891112134,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/888616308","repostId":"2167306583","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883649039,"gmtCreate":1631239609721,"gmtModify":1631891112140,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/883649039","repostId":"1133278609","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":162,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880037783,"gmtCreate":1630998009442,"gmtModify":1631891112145,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/880037783","repostId":"1150809394","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150809394","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630997306,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150809394?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-07 14:48","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore retail sales up 0.2% YoY in July","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150809394","media":"Singapore Business","summary":"UOB said retail sales will post a 10% full-year growth.\nRetail sales grew by a marginal 0.2% year-on","content":"<p><i><b>UOB said retail sales will post a 10% full-year growth.</b></i></p>\n<p>Retail sales grew by a marginal 0.2% year-on-year (YoY), smaller than the 26% increase recorded in June, with an estimated value of $3.4b, according to the Department of Statistics.</p>\n<p>Retail sales increased at a slower pace in July as physical stores were open in July this year and last year.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from&nbsp;Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate&nbsp;in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.</p>\n<p>Netflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d84f013051fbb00b6b488f5cfed66d4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Netflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&amp;T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.</p>\n<p>Depending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine.

However, valuations are significantly higher than they were historically.\nI believe that some of the other FAANG stocks are better, while others are worse. AAPL seems like a solid, but not a spectacular investment at today's valuation.\n\nMagioreStock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nGoing with FAANG stocks, i.e. Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), and Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL), has been a winning trade in recent years, as those companies delivered strong gains for their owners. These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.\nAre FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?\nLooking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at leastwerea good investment in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nWith gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.\nThese factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:\nData by YCharts\nAt 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.\nWhat Investors Can Expect From Apple\nApple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.\nApple Versus Facebook\nBoth Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nFacebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:\nData by YCharts\nThe fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:\nData by YCharts\nWhile Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.\nTo sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.\nApple Versus Alphabet\nWhen we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.\nData by YCharts\nAlphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.\nNevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple.

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.</p>\n<p>He briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.</p>\n<p>He worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.</p>\n<p>Tyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.</p>\n<p>While the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.</p>\n<p>\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"</p>\n<p>The key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.</p>\n<p>\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.</p>\n<p>“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.</p>\n<p>“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”</p>\n<p>Actually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.</p>\n<p>The Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.</p>\n<p>He was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.</p>\n<p>“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”</p>\n<p>Of course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.</p>\n<p>In 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.</p>\n<p>Morgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.</p>\n<p>Getting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.</p>\n<p>“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.</p>\n<p>“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”</p>\n<p>But that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.</p>\n<p>“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”</p>\n<p>When Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.</p>\n<p>If it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.</p>\n<p>Prior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.</p>\n<p>“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”</p>\n<p>Redemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”</p>\n<p>In prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.</p>\n<p>Since his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.</p>\n<p>Kozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.</p>\n<p>He also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner.

His father worked in Newark’s public transportation service and his mother did double-duty as a school crossing guard and Newark Police Department employee.\nKozlowski held a variety of odd jobs in his youth, including stints at a car wash and a pharmacy, to finance his education at New Jersey’s Seton Hall University.\nHe briefly worked at SCM Corporation in New York City and Cabot Corporation in Boston before joining the Nashua, New Hampshire, division of Tyco International in 1975 as an accountant with an annual salary of $28,000.\nHe worked his way up through the ranks, landing the chief operating officer title by 1989 and CEO spot in 1992. Kozlowski’s ascension was mirrored by Tyco’s blossoming from a somewhat sleepy little security systems company with $20 million in revenue into a global conglomerate with more than $40 billion in revenue and a market capitalization of more than $110 billion.\nTyco’s remarkable growth was based solely on the surplus number of acquisitions that Kozlowski was able to pull off during his chief executive years. A July 1998 profile of Kozlowski in Forbes marveled at how he orchestrated 88 different acquisitions during his first six years at the company’s helm, dubbing him “Deal-a-Month Dennis” for his ability to quickly secure takeovers.\nWhile the magazine ogled at the quantity of the acquisitions, Kozlowski highlighted the quality of the deals.\n\"We're fully aware that most acquisitions don't work,\" Kozlowski said. \"Taking a gamble on a future revenue stream is a neighborhood we don't need to play in.\"\nThe key to success in this area, he added, was assimilating the acquired company as quickly as possible to ensure a swift and seamless integration into the Tyco culture.\n\"Our obligation is to get the cost out and get that over with quickly so we can move on from there and get the growth going in the company,\" he said.\nIn retrospect, Kozlowski admitted his penchant for purchasing companies was sloppy around the edges.\n“I did push the organization hard and we built up a large company from nothing very quickly,” he said in a June 2020 interview with the Nantucket-based N Magazine. “We went from infancy to adulthood without passing through adolescence. And in that process, we never built the infrastructure or the documentation that most companies have to support the kind of growth we had.\n“We didn’t have the lawyers or financial people on staff to support the large businesses that we were running,” he continued. “I was guilty of not building a corporate staff that was comparable to the size of the organization we were running.”\nActually, there was a bit more to his story than inadequate human resources support.\nThe Very Ripe Fruits Of Success: While Kozlowski’s business acumen enriched Tyco, he did not believe that the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate was meant to endure the life of an ascetic.\nKozlowski’s life beyond his office would take the notion of excessive consumption to vulgar depths, with an extravagance befitting of decadent royal houses of days gone by.\nKozlowski owned a $30 million duplex apartment on New York City’s swanky Fifth Avenue that included a $15,000 umbrella stand and a $6,000 shower curtain in his maid’s bathroom. Other property holdings included several acres in a Boca Raton, Florida, gated community known as “The Sanctuary” and a multi-million-dollar oceanfront mansion on Nantucket.\nHe was also a generous host when it came to entertaining family and friends, most notably for the 40th birthday of Karen Kozlowski, his second wife — he arranged for a party on the Italian island of Sardinia that included a private concert by Jimmy Buffett and an ice sculpture of Michelangelo’s David that featured Stolichnaya vodka pouring from the Goliath-slayer’s penis.\nKozlowski would later claim that expensive material goods only brought him a fleeting sense of self-worth.\n“What did happen is that I wanted to show my success,” he recalled in an interview. “So I acquired some homes, a boat and things that I had little time to use. I was probably on [my sailing yacht] Endeavour 10 nights a year. I was probably at my ski house in Bachelor Gulch [Colorado] maybe five or six nights a year over the holidays. So I don’t know the exact numbers, but I never used any of these assets when I acquired them.”\nOf course, being nouveau riche with extraordinary bad taste might be an aesthetic crime, but it is not a violation of state or federal law.\nKozlowski’s problem, however, involved who was footing the bill for the Marie Antoinette-worthy shower curtain and the decidedly non-Biblical David. The Sardinia party cost $2 million with Tyco covering half of the bill and his extensive real estate holdings were also traced to the Tyco coffers.\nIn 2002, Kozlowski sought to put Tyco’s money to classier use when he purchased a series of paintings that included a Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir for $14 million. The office of Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney, had been suspicious of the quickie nature of some of those aforementioned Tyco acquisitions, and a careful probe of Kozlowski’s art purchases showed that he evaded paying sales tax on those items. Even worse, they were invoiced for display at Tyco’s headquarters and not Kozlowski’s residence.\nMorgenthau, who never shied away from the prospect of a high-profile investigation that would put his name in the headlines, zeroed in on Tyco and Kozlowski.\nGetting What They Paid For? In his N Magazine interview, Kozlowski would recall that he was earning a $1 million annual salary at the time that his troubles began to ferment, but he insisted Tyco operated an independent compensation board that he did not control or influence. Kozlowski also stated that he was considering early retirement and announced his plans to the board of directors, only to have the compensation committee talk him into staying.\n“The compensation committee got together and came back and said, ‘We really want you to stay — we’ll give you three times your salary, stock and unlimited use of an airplane, an apartment and staff to take care of all this for the rest of your life,'” he said.\n“So I went to our vice president of HR, and said, ‘The board offer is probably worth over $100 million dollars. Please go back to the board and tell them I want three times my annual compensation of the stock, the bonus and the salary.’ I thought there was no way in hell that they would ever support that. To my surprise, they approved it.”\nBut that is not what Morgenthau’s office saw. Kozlowski retired from Tyco in June 2002 and two months later he was indicted on 23 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, grand larceny and falsifying records. Tyco’s former chief financial officer Mark Swartz was also indicted at the same time on similar charges. The indictments were unusual because the defendants were being charged in a state court rather than a federal court — the U.S. Department of Justice never became involved in Kozlowski’s case.\n“Morgenthau was running for re-election and he was facing his first real challenge at the time,” Kozlowski later stated. “He had been district attorney for many years. He wanted to show that he was going to prosecute white-collar crime as well as the day-to-day crimes of New York.”\nWhen Kozlowski came to trial in 2003, the prosecutors charged him with using Tyco as a personal piggy bank — he was accused of pocketing $81 million in unauthorized bonuses. Kozlowski’s attorneys argued that all of the money that went from Tyco to their client was authorized and he never looted the company.\nIf it was simply a he-said/he-said case, Kozlowski’s attorneys might have been able to dismantle the prosecutor’s volleys. But Morgenthau and his team had a damaging weapon: scores of videos that detailed Kozlowski’s reckless extravagance. One video showed the Sardinian party with its wacky excesses, while another offered Kozlowski’s former maid giving a tour of his Fifth Avenue apartment — she claimed he never lived there and only stopped by very occasionally, usually for a change of clothing.\nKozlowski’s trial was heading to a conviction when a mistrial was declared after one juror — who was supposedly holding out for acquittal — received threatening messages about her refusal to convict. A second trial was held and Kozlowski was found guilty on 22 of the 23 charges against him. He was acquitted of one count of falsifying records. He was also ordered to pay $100 million in restitution.\nPrior to his September 2005 sentencing, Kozlowski claimed he was convicted of bad optics.\n“I was a guy sitting in a courtroom making $100 million a year and I think a juror sitting there just would have to say, 'All that money? He must have done something wrong,'” he said. “I think it's as simple as that.”\nRedemption Song: Kozlowski served a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and it was only during his second parole hearing — the first effort ended in failure — did he show any degree of remorse, claiming his actions were the result of “greed, pure and simple — I feel horrible. I can't say how sorry I am and how deeply I regret my actions.”\nIn prison, Kozlowski was initially placed in solitary confinement for six months out of initial fear that he would be targeted by prison gangs due to his wealth, but he later ingratiated himself with fellow inmates by tutoring those in pursuit of their GED. He also began to reshape his public image by agreeing to interviews with the Wall Street Journal and CBS' “60 Minutes” where he presented himself as a reforming work-in-progress.\nSince his release in 2014, Kozlowski has turned up in multiple media interviews and guest speaking engagements detailing his rise, fall and return to everyday life; the remorse from his successful parole hearing never resurfaced.\nKozlowski relocated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and co-founded the merger-and-acquisitions consultancy Harborside Advisors with his third wife, Kimberly Fusaro-Kozlowski, who first contacted him while he was still in prison; his second wife Karen, the object of the Sardinia party, divorced him in 2006 while he was appealing his conviction.\nHe also co-founded Commandscape, a security and building management company, with Netscape founder Jim Clark as his business partner. He also chaired The Fortune Society in New York, a nonprofit that assists former inmates in their return to society.\nKozlowski’s case has been addressed by prominent lawyers who questioned whether justice was truly served. Catherine S. Neal wrote the impassioned “Dennis Kozlowski Was Not a Thief” for the January 2014 Harvard Business Review and expanded her thesis into the book “Taking Down the Lion: The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski.”\nAnd noted civil rights attorney Dan Ackman stated that while Kozlowski and co-defendant Swartz “acted like pigs,” the larceny charges brought against them “did not depend on whether the defendants took the money — they did — but whether they were authorized to take it. Questions of authority are, by nature, legal questions, not questions for jurors.”\nUltimately, Kozlowski sought to have the last word on his case, insisting in an April 2021 interview with Leaders Magazine that he came out of these experiences a better man.\n“It was a real lesson in friendship and there were surprises along the way,” he said. “People became true friends who I had not really known were true friends, and people that I expected to be there for me were long gone. You really don’t find out who your true friends are and who you can count on until you really need them.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":175,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164919225,"gmtCreate":1624165050967,"gmtModify":1631893551356,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No comment at all?","listText":"No comment at all?","text":"No comment at all?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":20,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/164919225","repostId":"2144265729","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144265729","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623977597,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2144265729?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-18 08:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Mitsubishi HC Capital to buy CAI International for $1.1 bln","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144265729","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 17 (Reuters) - Transportation finance and logistics company CAI International Inc said on Thurs","content":"<p>June 17 (Reuters) - Transportation finance and logistics company CAI International Inc said on Thursday it has agreed to a $1.1 billion takeover by Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc , as the Japanese financial firm expands its overseas operations.</p>\n<p>The deal consists of $104 million worth of preferred stock and $986 million of common stock equity value, and has an enterprise value of $2.9 billion, CAI said on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Mitsubishi HC Capital has offered $56 per share in cash according to the company's statement, marking a 46.8% premium over CAI's last closing price.</p>\n<p>The deal has been unanimously approved by CAI's board of directors, the company said, adding that shares of CAI will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange after the deal is completed.</p>\n<p>CAI also said Timothy Page, its former interim chief executive officer, has been promoted to president and CEO.</p>\n<p>In September last year, Mitsubishi UFJ Lease struck a deal with its smaller rival Hitachi Capital, in a move to compete with global competitors and changed its name to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MIUFF\">Mitsubishi HC Capital Inc.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As part of the deal announced on Thursday, McDonald’s agreed to drop its lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook.</p>\n<p>In a message to employees, Enrique Hernandez Jr., the McDonald’s chairman, said that the company wanted to hold Mr. Easterbrook “accountable for his lies and misconduct, including the way in which he exploited his position as C.E.O.,” and that this settlement achieved that goal.</p>\n<p>Mr. Easterbrook was fired in 2019 after he engaged in a consensual relationship with an employee in violation of company policy, eventually setting off an unusually acrimonious fight between a wealthy executive and one of the country’s most prominent companies.</p>\n<p>At the time of his dismissal, the McDonald’s board determined that Mr. Easterbrook had “demonstrated poor judgment,” but decided not to fire him “for cause” — that is, for being dishonest or committing a criminal act. That decision, the board hoped, would avoid a lengthy legal dispute. It also allowed Mr. Easterbrook to walk away with a compensation package worth more than $40 million. .</p>\n<p>But according to the company’s lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook, his contract contained a provision that would let McDonald’s recoup severance payments if it later determined the employee should have been fired for cause.</p>\n<p>That clause became relevant in 2020, when a McDonald’s employee said that Mr. Easterbrook had a sexual relationship with another subordinate while he was chief executive. The new accusation spurred another investigation of Mr. Easterbrook’s records, and prompted the company to sue him last year, accusing its former chief of lying, concealing evidence and fraud.</p>\n<p>During its investigation into the second accusation, McDonald’s said it found “dozens of nude, partially nude or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women, including photographs of these company employees, that Easterbrook had sent as attachments to messages from his company email account to his personal email account.”</p>\n<p>The company also revealed that Mr. Easterbrook had awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock to one of the women with whom he was having a sexual relationship. In its lawsuit, McDonald’s said that its former chief had lied to investigators in the initial inquiry, and that if he had “been candid with McDonald’s investigators and not concealed evidence, McDonald’s would have known that it had legal cause to terminate him in 2019.”</p>\n<p>Mr. Easterbrook initially decided to fight the lawsuit, and his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss, calling it “meritless and misleading.”</p>\n<p>During his time as chief executive, Mr. Easterbrook sold more than $64 million in stock; when he departed in 2019, the value of the stock and options he had been awarded was worth $41 million. But as McDonald’s stock has soared to $264 a share from $193 in 2019, the value of those stock and options has grown to $89 million, according to the executive compensation consulting firm Equilar. It is not clear whether Mr. Easterbrook sold any of his shares after he left the company.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, with his agreement to return the huge sum of cash and stock to the company, Mr. Easterbrook has effectively conceded what was shaping up to be a long and costly legal battle. Mr. Easterbrook apologized in a statement released by the company.</p>\n<p>“During my tenure as C.E.O., I failed at times to uphold McDonald’s values and fulfill certain of my responsibilities as a leader of the company,” he said. “I apologize to my former co-workers, the board and the company’s franchisees and suppliers for doing so.”</p>\n<p>Under Mr. Easterbrook’s successor,Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s has emerged as a clear winner during the pandemic the past two years. Thanks to a combination of increased drive-through business; a robust push of its mobile app and loyalty programs; and&nbsp;meal collaborations with various celebrities and groups, including the K-pop sensation BTS, revenues at McDonald’s are on track to top $23 billion this year, the highest level in five years.</p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Mr. Kempczinski defended the board’s handling of Mr. Easterbrook’s firing. “I thought they handled it as best as they could,”he said.</p>\n<p>Still, despite the company’s financial gains, a new&nbsp;training&nbsp;program for its restaurants and&nbsp;efforts&nbsp;to improve diversity and inclusion, some critics say not enough has been done to fix other problems that run deep in McDonald’s culture. The fast-food giant has faced myriad lawsuits and claims in recent years, some involving allegations of&nbsp;sexual harassment&nbsp;and others around&nbsp;racial&nbsp;discrimination.</p>\n<p>“McDonald’s should use the money it got back from the former C.E.O. to develop a real plan to stop the rampant sexual harassment occurring from the drive-throughs to the C-suite,” the advocacy group Fight for $15 said in a statement.</p>\n<p>In November, the release oftextmessages between Mr. Kempczinski and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — in which he seemed to blame the deaths of two Black and Latino children on their parents — prompted calls for his resignation. An investment group representing union pension funds issued a shareholder proposal asking McDonald’s to conduct a third-party audit of its policies and practices around the civil rights of employees and consumers. Mr. Kempczinski has repeatedly&nbsp;apologized&nbsp;for the comments.</p>\n<p>Dieter Waizenegger, the executive director of the SOC Investment Group, said that as a shareholder, he was pleased the compensation had been returned, but still felt the board failed to do its job.</p>\n<p>“The board could have saved itself a lot of time and probably a lot in legal fees if they had conducted a thorough initial investigation of Easterbrook’s behavior in the first place,” said Mr. Waizenegger. “This settlement comes after two years of wrangling and airing of dirty laundry in the media.”</p>\n<p>McDonald’s also still faces numerous shareholder lawsuits over the firing of the executive.</p>\n<p>On Thursday, the company said that “Mr. Easterbrook would return equity awards and cash, with&nbsp;a&nbsp;current&nbsp;value of&nbsp;more than&nbsp;$105 million, which&nbsp;he&nbsp;would have forfeited had he been truthful at the time of his termination and, as a result, been terminated for cause.” It did not specify the proportion of cash and stock. McDonald’s shares are up more than 25 percent this year.</p>\n<p>In his more than four years on the job, Mr. Easterbrook was credited with turning around McDonald’s and reviving its languishing stock price. As chief executive, he reduced costs, introduced&nbsp;touch-screen ordering&nbsp;and established all-day breakfast. Shares in the company roughly doubled.</p>\n<p>The clawback of his compensation, while large, is not the biggest in corporate history, although many earlier situations involved allegations of financial or accounting fraud.

As part of the deal announced on Thursday, McDonald’s agreed to drop its lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook.\nIn a message to employees, Enrique Hernandez Jr., the McDonald’s chairman, said that the company wanted to hold Mr. Easterbrook “accountable for his lies and misconduct, including the way in which he exploited his position as C.E.O.,” and that this settlement achieved that goal.\nMr. Easterbrook was fired in 2019 after he engaged in a consensual relationship with an employee in violation of company policy, eventually setting off an unusually acrimonious fight between a wealthy executive and one of the country’s most prominent companies.\nAt the time of his dismissal, the McDonald’s board determined that Mr. Easterbrook had “demonstrated poor judgment,” but decided not to fire him “for cause” — that is, for being dishonest or committing a criminal act. That decision, the board hoped, would avoid a lengthy legal dispute. It also allowed Mr. Easterbrook to walk away with a compensation package worth more than $40 million. .\nBut according to the company’s lawsuit against Mr. Easterbrook, his contract contained a provision that would let McDonald’s recoup severance payments if it later determined the employee should have been fired for cause.\nThat clause became relevant in 2020, when a McDonald’s employee said that Mr. Easterbrook had a sexual relationship with another subordinate while he was chief executive. The new accusation spurred another investigation of Mr. Easterbrook’s records, and prompted the company to sue him last year, accusing its former chief of lying, concealing evidence and fraud.\nDuring its investigation into the second accusation, McDonald’s said it found “dozens of nude, partially nude or sexually explicit photographs and videos of various women, including photographs of these company employees, that Easterbrook had sent as attachments to messages from his company email account to his personal email account.”\nThe company also revealed that Mr. Easterbrook had awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock to one of the women with whom he was having a sexual relationship. In its lawsuit, McDonald’s said that its former chief had lied to investigators in the initial inquiry, and that if he had “been candid with McDonald’s investigators and not concealed evidence, McDonald’s would have known that it had legal cause to terminate him in 2019.”\nMr. Easterbrook initially decided to fight the lawsuit, and his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss, calling it “meritless and misleading.”\nDuring his time as chief executive, Mr. Easterbrook sold more than $64 million in stock; when he departed in 2019, the value of the stock and options he had been awarded was worth $41 million. But as McDonald’s stock has soared to $264 a share from $193 in 2019, the value of those stock and options has grown to $89 million, according to the executive compensation consulting firm Equilar. It is not clear whether Mr. Easterbrook sold any of his shares after he left the company.\nNonetheless, with his agreement to return the huge sum of cash and stock to the company, Mr. Easterbrook has effectively conceded what was shaping up to be a long and costly legal battle. Mr. Easterbrook apologized in a statement released by the company.\n“During my tenure as C.E.O., I failed at times to uphold McDonald’s values and fulfill certain of my responsibilities as a leader of the company,” he said. “I apologize to my former co-workers, the board and the company’s franchisees and suppliers for doing so.”\nUnder Mr. Easterbrook’s successor,Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s has emerged as a clear winner during the pandemic the past two years. Thanks to a combination of increased drive-through business; a robust push of its mobile app and loyalty programs; and meal collaborations with various celebrities and groups, including the K-pop sensation BTS, revenues at McDonald’s are on track to top $23 billion this year, the highest level in five years.\nEarlier this year, Mr. Kempczinski defended the board’s handling of Mr. Easterbrook’s firing. “I thought they handled it as best as they could,”he said.\nStill, despite the company’s financial gains, a new training program for its restaurants and efforts to improve diversity and inclusion, some critics say not enough has been done to fix other problems that run deep in McDonald’s culture. The fast-food giant has faced myriad lawsuits and claims in recent years, some involving allegations of sexual harassment and others around racial discrimination.\n“McDonald’s should use the money it got back from the former C.E.O. to develop a real plan to stop the rampant sexual harassment occurring from the drive-throughs to the C-suite,” the advocacy group Fight for $15 said in a statement.\nIn November, the release oftextmessages between Mr. Kempczinski and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — in which he seemed to blame the deaths of two Black and Latino children on their parents — prompted calls for his resignation. An investment group representing union pension funds issued a shareholder proposal asking McDonald’s to conduct a third-party audit of its policies and practices around the civil rights of employees and consumers. Mr. Kempczinski has repeatedly apologized for the comments.\nDieter Waizenegger, the executive director of the SOC Investment Group, said that as a shareholder, he was pleased the compensation had been returned, but still felt the board failed to do its job.\n“The board could have saved itself a lot of time and probably a lot in legal fees if they had conducted a thorough initial investigation of Easterbrook’s behavior in the first place,” said Mr. Waizenegger. “This settlement comes after two years of wrangling and airing of dirty laundry in the media.”\nMcDonald’s also still faces numerous shareholder lawsuits over the firing of the executive.\nOn Thursday, the company said that “Mr. Easterbrook would return equity awards and cash, with a current value of more than $105 million, which he would have forfeited had he been truthful at the time of his termination and, as a result, been terminated for cause.” It did not specify the proportion of cash and stock. McDonald’s shares are up more than 25 percent this year.\nIn his more than four years on the job, Mr. Easterbrook was credited with turning around McDonald’s and reviving its languishing stock price. As chief executive, he reduced costs, introduced touch-screen ordering and established all-day breakfast. Shares in the company roughly doubled.\nThe clawback of his compensation, while large, is not the biggest in corporate history, although many earlier situations involved allegations of financial or accounting fraud. In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commissionrecoveredmore than $400 million in profits made by William McGuire, the former chief executive of United Health, to settle claims related to a scheme involving the backdating of options. Later, Tyco International sued a former chief executive, Dennis Kozlowski, who had been convicted of looting the company, in an effort to collect $500 million he had received in compensation and benefits.\n“While Steve’s misconduct need not be forgiven by any member of this community, he has apologized to his former co-workers, franchisees, suppliers and the board for the profound errors he made,” said Mr. Hernandez, the McDonald’s chairman. “Today’s resolution avoids a protracted court process and moves us beyond a chapter that belongs in our past.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690308587,"gmtCreate":1639628257626,"gmtModify":1639628424628,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":16,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690308587","repostId":"1194895061","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194895061","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1639621523,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194895061?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 10:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO -sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194895061","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 2 (Reuters) - Reddit Inc, the operator of online message boards that became the go-to destinati","content":"<p>Sept 2 (Reuters) - Reddit Inc, the operator of online message boards that became the go-to destination for day traders chasing this year's frenzy for so-called meme stocks, is seeking to hire investment bankers and lawyers for an initial public offering (IPO) in New York, two people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67d50299d6a83535bd2d2bfa4bc31011\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"784\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Reddit was valued at&nbsp;$10 billion in a private fundraising&nbsp;round last month.

And in this case, there are more groups and people than before who believe.”That said, reality could hit meme coin holders hard come Sunday morning, at least one analyst said.“Post-SNL, some crypto traders could abandon short-term Dogecoin bets once it becomes clear that it is not skyrocketing to the moon or at the heavily eyed $1 level,” wrote Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, in a research note.The analyst also notes that strong conviction of dogecoin investors,known as hodlers in the crypto world, could defy logic and keep prices buoyant.“The retail-army of traders that have been committed to Doge might remain stubbornly hodlers, so we shouldn’t be surprised if a sell the event reaction does not happen,” the Oanda strategist said.How it all plays out for dogecoin is anyone’s guess.“It’s just a meme currency but sometimes the most entertaining outcome becomes the reality,” Beesetti said.That meme currency has enjoyed a spectacular ride compared against most other assets. Gold futures are down 3% so far this year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index are up by nearly 13% in 2021, while the Nasdaq Composite Index has gained about over 6% so far this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":125756870,"gmtCreate":1624697786490,"gmtModify":1631891112149,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/125756870","repostId":"1108941456","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108941456","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624664800,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1108941456?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-26 07:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple A Better Buy Than Other FAANG Stocks?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108941456","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple undoubtedly is a great company, with a strong brand, excellent margins, and fundamentals, a fortress balance sheet, and massive shareholder returns.Being a great company does not mean that the stock must be a great buy.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from&nbsp;Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate&nbsp;in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.</p>\n<p>Netflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d84f013051fbb00b6b488f5cfed66d4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Netflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&amp;T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.</p>\n<p>Depending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine. I'd be glad to hear your top picks and reasoning in the comment section!</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>Is Apple A Better Buy Than Other FAANG Stocks?</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 Apple A Better Buy Than Other FAANG Stocks?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-26 07:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple undoubtedly is a great company, with a strong brand, excellent margins, and fundamentals, a fortress balance sheet, and massive shareholder returns.\nBeing a great company does not mean ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1108941456","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple undoubtedly is a great company, with a strong brand, excellent margins, and fundamentals, a fortress balance sheet, and massive shareholder returns.\nBeing a great company does not mean that the stock must be a great buy.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.\nAre FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?\nLooking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at leastwerea good investment in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nWith gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years.

In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market.

Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.\nThis huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:\nData by YCharts\nAMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.\nNetflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:\nData by YCharts\nNetflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.\nAmazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.\nWhich Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?\nNot every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.\nAlphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.\nDepending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine. I'd be glad to hear your top picks and reasoning in the comment section!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":145,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137223824,"gmtCreate":1622352405768,"gmtModify":1634102096463,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla only goes up","listText":"Tesla only goes up","text":"Tesla only goes up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/137223824","repostId":"2138765488","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138765488","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1622215232,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138765488?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 23:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla shares dip on recall rumors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138765488","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 28  - Shares of Tesla Inc fell more than 1% on Friday after an unverified tweet said the electric carmaker had decided to recall some of its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles, citing a note from the company.Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment and Reuters was unable to verify the statement from the company that was shown in the tweet.","content":"<p>May 28 (Reuters) - Shares of Tesla Inc&nbsp;fell more than 1% on Friday after an unverified tweet&nbsp;said the electric carmaker had decided to recall some of its Model Y and Model 3 vehicles, citing a note from the company.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba675bb3c29017bd5165f1d31830b19e\" tg-width=\"794\" tg-height=\"614\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment and Reuters was unable to verify the statement from the company that was shown in the tweet.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Stock valuations are t","content":"<p>To veterans of financial bubbles, there is plenty familiar about the present. Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.</p><p>This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.</p><p>But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.</p><p>There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.</p><p>“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”</p><p>Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”</p><p><b>‘A bit frothy’</b></p><p>The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.</p><p>As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.</p><p>The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”</p><p>The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.</p><p>And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.</p><p>The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.</p><p>At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.</p><p><b>Running of the bulls</b></p><p>This injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&amp;P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.</p><p>Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.</p><p>Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.</p><p>Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.</p><p>Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.</p><p>Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.</p><p>Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.</p><p>Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&amp;P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.</p><p>While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.</p><p><b>Facing the future</b></p><p>It’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.</p><p>Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.</p><p>But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.</p><p>The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.</p><p>“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”</p><p>That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.</p><p>Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise. In recent months that stock-bond correlation, in place for most of the last few decades, began to disappear, said Brian Sack, a former Fed economist who is now with hedge fund D.E. Shaw &amp; Co. LP.

Stock valuations are their richest since the dot-com bubble in 2000. Home prices are back to their pre-financial crisis peak. Risky companies can borrow at the lowest rates on record. Individual investors are pouring money into green energy and cryptocurrency.This boom has some legitimate explanations, from the advances in digital commerce to fiscally greased growth that will likely be the strongest since 1983.But there is one driver above all: the Federal Reserve. Easy monetary policy has regularly fueled financial booms, and it is exceptionally easy now. The Fed has kept interest rates near zero for the past year and signaled rates won’t change for at least two more years. It is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. As a result, the 10-year Treasury bond yield is well below inflation—that is, real yields are deeply negative —for only the second time in 40 years.There are good reasons why rates are so low. The Fed acted in response to a pandemic that at its most intense threatened even more damage than the 2007-09 financial crisis. Yet in great part thanks to the Fed and Congress, which has passed some $5 trillion in fiscal stimulus, this recovery looks much healthier than the last. That could undermine the reasons for such low rates, threatening the underpinnings of market.“Equity markets at a minimum are priced to perfection on the assumption rates will be low for a long time,” said Harvard University economist Jeremy Stein, who served as a Fed governor alongside now-chairman Jerome Powell. “And certainly you get the sense the Fed is trying really hard to say, ‘Everything is fine, we’re in no rush to raise rates.’ But while I don’t think we’re headed for sustained high inflation it’s completely possible we’ll have several quarters of hot readings on inflation.”Since stocks’ valuations are only justified if interest rates stay extremely low, how do they reprice if the Fed has to tighten monetary policy to combat inflation and bond yields rise one to 1.5 percentage points, he asked. “You could get a serious correction in asset prices.”‘A bit frothy’The Fed has been here before. In the late 1990s its willingness to cut rates in response to the Asian financial crisis and the near collapse of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management was seen by some as an implicit market backstop, inflating the ensuing dot-com bubble. Its low-rate policy in the wake of that collapsed bubble was then blamed for driving up housing prices. Both times Fed officials defended their policy, arguing that to raise rates (or not cut them) simply to prevent bubbles would compromise their main goals of low unemployment and inflation, and do more harm than letting the bubble deflate on its own.As for this year, in a report this week the central bank warned asset “valuations are generally high” and “vulnerable to significant declines should investor risk appetite fall, progress on containing the virus disappoint, or the recovery stall.” On April 28 Mr. Powell acknowledged markets look “a bit frothy” and the Fed might be one of the reasons: “I won’t say it has nothing to do with monetary policy, but it has a tremendous amount to do with vaccination and reopening of the economy.” But he gave no hint the Fed was about to dial back its stimulus: “The economy is a long way from our goals.” A Labor Department report Friday showing that far fewer jobs were created in April than Wall Street expected underlined that.The Fed’s choices are heavily influenced by the financial crisis. While the Fed cut rates to near zero and bought bonds then as well, it was battling powerful headwinds as households, banks, and governments sought to pay down debts. That held back spending and pushed inflation below the Fed’s 2% target. Deeper-seated forces such as aging populations also held down growth and interest rates, a combination some dubbed “secular stagnation.”The pandemic shutdown a year ago triggered a hit to economic output that was initially worse than the financial crisis. But after two months, economic activity began to recover as restrictions eased and businesses adapted to social distancing. The Fed initiated new lending programs and Congress passed the $2.2 trillion Cares Act. Vaccines arrived sooner than expected. The U.S. economy is likely to hit its pre-pandemic size in the current quarter, two years faster than after the financial crisis.And yet even as the outlook has improved, the fiscal and monetary taps remain wide open. Democrats first proposed an additional $3 trillion in stimulus last May when output was expected to fall 6% last year. It actually fell less than half that, but Democrats, after winning both the White House and Congress, pressed ahead with the same size stimulus.The Fed began buying bonds in March, 2020 to counter chaotic conditions in markets. In late summer, with markets functioning normally, it extended the program while tilting the rationale toward keeping bond yields low.At the same time it unveiled a new framework: After years of inflation running below 2%, it would aim to push inflation not just back to 2% but higher, so that over time average and expected inflation would both stabilize at 2%. To that end, it promised not to raise rates until full employment had been restored and inflation was 2% and headed higher. Officials predicted that would not happen before 2024 and have since stuck to that guidance despite a significantly improving outlook.Running of the bullsThis injection of unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus into an economy already rebounding thanks to vaccinations is why Wall Street strategists are their most bullish on stocks since before the last financial crisis, according to a survey byBank of AmericaCorp.While profit forecasts have risen briskly, stocks have risen more. The S&P 500 stock index now trades at about 22 times the coming year’s profits, according to FactSet, a level only exceeded at the peak of the dot-com boom in 2000.Other asset markets are similarly stretched. Investors are willing to buy the bonds of junk-rated companies at the lowest yields since at least 1995, and the narrowest spread above safe Treasurys since 2007, according to Bloomberg Barclays data. Residential and commercial property prices, adjusted for inflation, are around the peak reached in 2006.Stock and property valuations are more justifiable today than in 2000 or in 2006 because the returns on riskless Treasury bonds are so much lower. In that sense, the Fed’s policies are working precisely as intended: improving both the economic outlook, which is good for profits, housing demand, and corporate creditworthiness; and the appetite for risk.Nonetheless, low rates are no longer sufficient to justify some asset valuations. Instead, bulls invoke alternative metrics.Bank of America recently noted companies with relatively low carbon emissions and higher water efficiency earn higher valuations. These valuations aren’t the result of superior cash flow or profit prospects, but a tidal wave of funds invested according to environmental, social and governance, or ESG, criteria.Conventional valuation is also useless for cryptocurrencies which earn no interest, rent or dividends. Instead, advocates claim digital currencies will displace the fiat currencies issued by central banks as a transaction medium and store of value. “Crypto has the potential to be as revolutionary and widely adopted as the internet,” claims the prospectus of the initial public offering of crypto exchangeCoinbase GlobalInc.,in language reminiscent of internet-related IPOs more than two decades earlier. Cryptocurrencies as of April 29 were worth more than $2 trillion, according to CoinDesk, an information service, roughly equivalent to all U.S. dollars in circulation.Financial innovation is also at work, as it has been in past financial booms. Portfolio insurance, a strategy designed to hedge against market losses, amplified selling during the 1987 stock market crash. In the 1990s, internet stockbrokers fueled tech stocks and in the 2000s, subprime mortgage derivatives helped finance housing. The equivalent today are zero commission brokers such as Robinhood Markets Inc., fractional ownership and social media, all of which have empowered individual investors.Such investors increasingly influence the overall market’s direction, according to a recent report by the Bank for International Settlements, a consortium of the world’s central banks. It found, for example, that since 2017 trading volume in exchange-traded funds that track the S&P 500, a favorite of institutional investors, has flattened while the volume in its component stocks, which individual investors prefer, has climbed. Individuals, it noted, are more likely to buy a company’s shares for reasons unrelated to its underlying business—because, for example, its name is similar to another stock that is on the rise.While such speculation is often blamed on the Fed, drawing a direct line is difficult. Not so with fiscal stimulus. Jim Bianco, the head of financial research firm Bianco Research, said flows into exchange-traded funds and mutual funds jumped in March as the Treasury distributed $1,400 stimulus checks. “The first thing you do with your check is deposit it in your account and in 2021 that’s your brokerage account,” said Mr. Bianco.Facing the futureIt’s impossible to predict how, or even whether, this all ends. It doesn’t have to: High-priced stocks could eventually earn the profits necessary to justify today’s valuations, especially with the economy’s current head of steam. In he meantime, more extreme pockets of speculation may collapse under their own weight as profits disappoint or competition emerges.Bitcoin once threatened to displace the dollar; now numerous competitors purport to do the same.TeslaInc.was once about the only stock you could buy to bet on electric vehicles; now there is China’s NIO Inc.,NikolaCorp., andFiskerInc.,not to mention established manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG andGeneral MotorsCo.that are rolling out ever more electric models.But for assets across the board to fall would likely involve some sort of macroeconomic event, such as a recession, financial crisis, or inflation.The Fed report this past week said the virus remains the biggest threat to the economy and thus the financial system. April’s jobs disappointment was a reminder of how unsettled the economic outlook remains. Still, with the virus in retreat, a recession seems unlikely now. A financial crisis linked to some hidden fragility can’t be ruled out. Still, banks have so much capital and mortgage underwriting is so tight that something similar to the 2007-09 financial crisis, which began with defaulting mortgages, seems remote. If junk bonds, cryptocoins or tech stocks are bought primarily with borrowed money, a plunge in their values could precipitate a wave of forced selling, bankruptcies and potentially a crisis. But that doesn’t seem to have happened. The recent collapse of Archegos Capital Management from reversals on derivatives-based stock investments inflicted losses on its lenders. But it didn’t threaten their survival or trigger contagion to similarly situated firms.“Where’s the second Archegos?” said Mr. Bianco. “There hasn’t been one yet.”That leaves inflation. Fear of inflation is widespread now with shortages of semiconductors, lumber, and workers all putting upward pressure on prices and costs. Most forecasters, and the Fed, think those pressures will ease once the economy has reopened and normal spending patterns resume. Nonetheless, the difference between yields on regular and inflation-indexed bond yields suggest investors are expecting inflation in coming years to average about 2.5%. That is hardly a repeat of the 1970s, and compatible with the Fed’s new goal of average 2% inflation over the long term. Nonetheless, it would be a clear break from the sub-2% range of the last decade.Slightly higher inflation would result in the Fed setting short-term interest rates also slightly higher, which need not hurt stock valuations. More worrisome: Long-term bond yields, which are critical to stock values, might rise significantly more. Since the late 1990s, bond and stock prices have tended to move in opposite directions. That is because when inflation isn’t a concern, economic shocks tend to drive both bond yields (which move in the opposite direction to prices) and stock prices down. Bonds thus act as an insurance policy against losses on stocks, for which investors are willing to accept lower yields. If inflation becomes a problem again, then bonds lose that insurance value and their yields will rise. In recent months that stock-bond correlation, in place for most of the last few decades, began to disappear, said Brian Sack, a former Fed economist who is now with hedge fund D.E. Shaw & Co. LP. He attributes that, in part, to inflation concerns.The many years since inflation dominated the financial landscape have led investors to price assets as if inflation never will have that sway again. They may be right. But if the unprecedented combination of monetary and fiscal stimulus succeeds in jolting the economy out of the last decade’s pattern, that complacency could prove quite costly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":122976425,"gmtCreate":1624595404667,"gmtModify":1631891112151,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/122976425","repostId":"2146023477","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146023477","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624575912,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2146023477?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-25 07:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq and S&P 500 end at record highs;

Now looks like a good time to buy a few growth stocks with great potential.","content":"<p>If you're a tech investor, you've probably seen some red in your portfolio recently. Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.</p>\n<p>Instead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, <b>Cloudflare</b> (NYSE:NET) and <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.</p>\n<h2>1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing</h2>\n<p>Cloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17%&nbsp;of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e55778fa4732da24b1a14ed4fcaafa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Traditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach&nbsp;to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.</p>\n<p>In 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.</p>\n<p>Beyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.</p>\n<p>In total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing <i>much</i> faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Customers</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>49,309</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>119,206</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>31%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$135 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$478 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>48%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Cloudflare&nbsp;SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>Going forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like <b>Akamai</b>&nbsp;and public cloud titans like <b>Amazon</b> Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: E-commerce</h2>\n<p>Creating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.</p>\n<p>Shopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its&nbsp;software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff4a35f99c16648b52d7b3f448eb34e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Shopify.</span></p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world. In 2016 the company had 377,500&nbsp;customers, but that figure double by 2018&nbsp;and doubled again by 2020, reaching 1.7 million.</p>\n<p>At the same time, Shopify has seen strong adoption of its payment processing and shipping services.

Fears over inflation have sparked a sell-off, dragging many growth stocks down in the process. Of course, it's natural to panic, but that's not very productive.\nInstead, think of this as a buying opportunity. For instance, Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) and Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) have each fallen over 20% from their 52-week highs, but both look like good long-term investments. Here's why you should consider buying these two growth stocks on the dip.\n1. Cloudflare: Cloud computing\nCloudflare is a cloud services provider that makes the internet faster, more reliable, and more secure. Its global network spans 200 cities, and supports nearly 17% of the internet as of April 2021, according to W3Techs. Those are incredible statistics, but they mean more in context. So let's look at a recent product launch.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTraditionally, corporations have taken a castle-and-moat approach to networks: All resources were stored on-site, all employees worked in the office, and all incoming and outgoing connections were filtered through central hardware (e.g. firewall boxes, internet gateways). But this model is no longer efficient or effective, since more employees are working remotely and more enterprises rely on cloud computing.\nIn 2020, Cloudflare launched Cloudflare for Teams to solve this problem. This product is built around Cloudflare Access and Cloudflare Gateway, enabling employees to securely access corporate resources and the open internet whether they are in the office or working remotely.\nMoreover, Cloudflare's global network offers performance at a scale that would be impossible for most enterprises to achieve on their own. It also eliminates the need for costly on-site hardware. Put another way, Cloudflare for Teams is faster and cheaper than legacy network security solutions.\nBeyond this example, Cloudflare offers a range of other products -- everything from serverless computing to streaming video platforms -- all of which are designed to enhance performance and security.\nIn total, management believes the company's market opportunity will grow at 9% per year, rising from $72 billion in 2020 to $100 billion by 2024. But Cloudflare's revenue is growing much faster, meaning the company is gaining market share.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nCustomers\n49,309\n119,206\n31%\n\n\nRevenue\n$135 million\n$478 million\n48%\n\n\n\nData source: Cloudflare SEC filings. TTM = trailing-12-months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nGoing forward, investors should pay attention to Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum. The company faces competition from legacy providers like Akamai and public cloud titans like Amazon Web Services. However, Cloudflare is currently growing more quickly than both. That's why this growth stock is a buy for long-term investors.\n2. Shopify: E-commerce\nCreating an e-commerce website is complicated, especially if you're not a software developer. And managing a business is even more complicated since you need a way to process payments, manage inventory, fulfill and ship orders, and run ad campaigns.\nShopify removes all of this complexity, simplifying commerce. Using its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, anyone can easily build an online storefront and manage a business across physical and digital locations.\nImage source: Shopify.\nNot surprisingly, Shopify's business has grown at an incredible pace as e-commerce has gained traction around the world. In 2016 the company had 377,500 customers, but that figure double by 2018 and doubled again by 2020, reaching 1.7 million.\nAt the same time, Shopify has seen strong adoption of its payment processing and shipping services. In 2016 Shopify Payments handled 39% of gross merchandise volume (GMV), but that figure hit 45% in 2020. Likewise, less than 40% of U.S. and Canadian merchants used Shopify Shipping in 2018, but that figure hit 52% in 2020.\nHere's the takeaway: Shopify's quickly growing customer base has powered soaring subscription sales, but increasing adoption of Shopify Payments and Shopify Shipping has driven even faster sales growth in merchant solutions.\n\n\n\nShopify Revenue\n2016\n2020\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nSubscription\n$188.6 million\n$908.8 million\n48%\n\n\nMerchant Solutions\n$200.7 million\n$2.0 billion\n78%\n\n\nTotal\n$389.3 million\n$2.9 billion\n66%\n\n\n\nData source: Shopify SEC filings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nIn Q1 2021, Shopify's business continued to gain speed. Subscription sales growth accelerated to 71% and merchant solutions sales growth accelerated to 137%. In total, Q1 revenue came in at $989 million -- more than double its full-year revenue in 2016.\nThis supercharged financial performance can't last forever, but even as growth slows, I believe Shopify will be an important player in the e-commerce industry for decades to come. That's why this tech stock looks like a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":73,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128185495,"gmtCreate":1624506243017,"gmtModify":1631891112159,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can always buy back&nbsp;","listText":"Can always buy back&nbsp;","text":"Can always buy back","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/128185495","repostId":"2145154690","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167115611,"gmtCreate":1624251848733,"gmtModify":1631893551310,"author":{"id":"3581650882917100","authorId":"3581650882917100","name":"WendyGoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb2b50cab4602df1e5f3c2c1880a1f6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581650882917100","authorIdStr":"3581650882917100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","listText":"&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","text":"[开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心] [开心]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/167115611","repostId":"2144713727","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144713727","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624004460,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2144713727?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-18 16:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Twitter's India woes worsen as police summon chief over viral video","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144713727","media":"Reuters","summary":"LUCKNOW, India June 18 (Reuters) - Police in India have summoned Twitter's top official in the count","content":"<p>LUCKNOW, India June 18 (Reuters) - Police in India have summoned Twitter's top official in the country to answer allegations that the U.S. firm failed to stop the spread of a video that allegedly incited \"hate and enmity\" between Hindu and Muslim communities.</p>\n<p>An official police notice, seen by Reuters, showed a case had been registered in Ghaziabad in northern Uttar Pradesh state over a video of a few men, apparently Hindu, beating an elderly man believed to be a Muslim and cutting his beard.</p>\n<p>The police report names Twitter Inc , its local unit and seven others for their alleged roles in disseminating a video that was deemed insulting to religious beliefs and causing</p>\n<p>public mischief in a state with a long, bloody history of communal violence.</p>\n<p>The controversy comes just as India's federal government is locking horns with Twitter over non-compliance with new IT rules, which have raised doubts whether the platform would continue to enjoy protection against legal liability for user-generated content.
