The president is expected to fund the forthcoming plan with tax increases on wealthy households.The question is precisely which tax hikes will he propose? And what can he get through a Congress where Democrats have the barest of majorities -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> where the president cannot afford any 'no' votes?</p><p>Biden could formally announce the plan as soon as April 28, commentators said. So far, the White House hasn't provided details. But White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Biden would discuss the plan  at a scheduled address to Congress next week.</p><p>Some specifics are starting to seep out, including a  Bloomberg News report Thursday  saying Biden will boost the capital gains rate tax to 39.6% for households earning at least $1 million, citing people familiar with the proposal. Coupled with an added 3.8% tax linked to the Affordable Care Act, that's a potential 43.4% rate.</p><p>When asked about the report on the potential capital gains rate hike, Psaki said she did not want to comment ahead of Biden's decisions.</p><p>All the stock market benchmarks began falling on the news, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average  sliding 300 points the trading day down around 322 points, while the S&amp;P 500  fell around 38 points and the Nasdaq Composite  dropped 132 points.</p><p>As for Biden's other plans to tax the wealthy, observers said it was possible to make some educated guesses about which tax provisions are under consideration by reviewing Biden's stances during his run for president, when he said he wouldn't raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000.</p><p><b>Reading the taxation 'tea leaves'</b></p><p>Experts also try reading the taxation \"tea leaves\" by looking at the people Biden has tapped to serve in his administration.</p><p>The rate for the top income tax bracket, new rules for estates and new tax treatment for the investment income of rich people are all likely in the mix, they say.</p><p>Some proposals could chart new terrain in the tax code, they note, while others may just quickly undo Trump-era tax rules that are set to elapse at the end of 2025. Either way, some array of increases is coming, they note.</p><p>\"At this point, taxes are not getting any lower,\" said David Kirk, a tax partner who leads Ernst &amp; Young's Private Tax Group. \"They are only going to go up from here. The question is how?\"</p><p>The answers matter a lot for the Biden administration as it presses its policy agenda.

That's where it was before the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the rate to 37% (as well as lowering the rates on four other brackets down the income ladder).</p><p>Kirk, formerly an attorney in the Internal Revenue Service's Office of Chief Counsel, said the potential rate raise was \"relatively low hanging fruit\" for the administration.</p><p>Ed Mills, a Washington D.C. policy analyst at Raymond James, agreed the potential rate hike looked likely. \"The political sales point is, 'It's not necessarily raising those taxes, it's reverting taxes back to where they were before the Trump tax cuts,'\" he said.</p><p>One quirk is the top rate in 2021  applies to individuals making at least $523,601 a year or couples making $628,301 a year. So does Biden shuffle things so households making $400,000 now fall under the top rate instead of the second-highest 35% rate? \"Those are all political decisions\" still to come, Mills said.Tweaking the top rate could produce $100 billion in new tax revenue, according to a Tuesday note from Evercore ISI -- the  investment banking advisory firm calls the change \"likely.\"</p><p><b>Revised estate taxes</b></p><p>The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act doubled the threshold where the 40% federal estate taxes kicked in. It previously was $5.49 million per person ($10.98 million for married couple) and this year is $11.58 million per person ($23.16 million for married couples). The number is indexed for inflation. Like the marginal rates, the 2017 law lets the estate tax exemptions expire after 2025.</p><p>But Biden may want to quicken the expiration date and, Kirk noted, he's brought on people who are keenly aware of estate-tax workings.</p><p>Lily Batchelder has been nominated as assistant secretary for tax policy in the Treasury Department, he noted. (The White House formally sent her nomination to the Senate last week.)</p><p>Batchelder previously taught at New York University's School of Law, where she estimated that federal estate taxes would rake in $16 billion last year, making for an effective estate tax rate around 2% .</p><p>\"Despite our founding vision as a land of opportunity, the United States ranks at or near the bottom among high-income countries in economic equality and intergenerational mobility. Our tax code plays a key role,\" Batchelder, also an Obama administration official, wrote  last year.</p><p>If estate taxes are getting revised, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> question is where the exemption level is set and whether the rate stays at 40%.</p><p>Some estate tax changes are a \"done deal\" in the eyes of Professor Donald Williamson, executive director of American University's Kogod Tax Policy Center. \"Politically, it makes sense because average working Americans don't have estates to leave to their children,\" he said.</p><p>Approximately 4,100 estate-tax returns will be filed for people who died last year, according to projections  .</p><p>An increase in estate tax also means the \"step up in basis\" is on the chopping block, Williamson said. This tax rule says if an heir sells inherited assets, the price appreciation -- and resulting capital gains tax -- starts from the time of inheritance, not when the asset was originally acquired.</p><p>If an asset like long-held shares in a blue-chip company keeps growing in value, that's a major shield against a major capital gains tax liability.</p><p>But there can be capital gains implications when businesses are sold or inherited -- and that's setting up battle lines.</p><p>\"Eliminating step-up in basis would require small business owners to pay a new tax when a family business partner dies, and potentially force them to sell their business just to pay the tax and associated fees,\" said Courtney Titus Brooks, senior manager of federal government relations at the National Federation of Independent Business, an advocacy organization for small businesses.</p><p>Biden's forthcoming proposal \"may include\" estate tax changes, which could generate $500 billion, and changes to the step-up in basis are \"very likely,\" Evercore ISI's note added.</p><p><b>New rules and rates for capital gains</b></p><p>Right now, the capital-gains rate for the richest taxpayers starts at 20%, though the rates may go higher  depending on the assets being sold.</p><p>Candidate Biden has said he'd raise the capital gains rate to 39.6% for household making at least $1 million so that their investment income is taxed just like their ordinary income.</p><p>Income brackets and estate taxes are one thing, but changes to the capital gains rules could be a tougher effort, Kirk said.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.</p>\n<p>But since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.</p>\n<p>Of course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.</p>\n<p>However, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.</p>\n<p>But despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:</p>\n<p><b>Competition</b></p>\n<p>The traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, like<b>Apple’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) Siri and<b>Amazon’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) Alexa.</p>\n<p>In such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms like<b>IQIYI</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>IQ</u></b>). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.</p>\n<p>Another issue for BIDU stock is<b>Tencent Holdings’</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>TCEHY</u></b>) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.</p>\n<p><b>The AI Play</b></p>\n<p>It’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&amp;D.</p>\n<p>For example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.</p>\n<p>As for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.</p>\n<p>However, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.</p>\n<p><b>Regulatory Issues for BIDU Stock</b></p>\n<p>In the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.</p>\n<p>So if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.&nbsp; These are certainly major risk factors.</p>\n<p>But there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves against<b>Alibaba</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>). All in all, this may ultimately result in new restrictions on Chinese companies that could hamper growth and profitability.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>Baidu Stock: 3 Reasons To Stay Away</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\">\nBaidu Stock: 3 Reasons To Stay Away\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 13:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/baidu-stock-3-reasons-to-stay-away/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The regulatory issues continue to be a problem.\n\nAlong with various other large Chinese tech companies,Baidu(NASDAQ:BIDU) stock started an impressive rally in November.

There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.\nBut despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:\nCompetition\nThe traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, likeApple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) Siri andAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.\nIn such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms likeIQIYI(NASDAQ:IQ). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.\nThe AI Play\nIt’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.  These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA). All in all, this may ultimately result in new restrictions on Chinese companies that could hamper growth and profitability.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371074268,"gmtCreate":1618897370654,"gmtModify":1634290051570,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Now is it worth to buy?","listText":"Now is it worth to buy?","text":"Now is it worth to buy?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371074268","repostId":"1125387983","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125387983","pubTimestamp":1618894905,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1125387983?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-20 13:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Stock: 3 Reasons to Stay Away Despite Recent 9% Uptick","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125387983","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Management will ask stockholders to greenlight the issue of 500 million new shares in early May.\n\nTh","content":"<blockquote>\n Management will ask stockholders to greenlight the issue of 500 million new shares in early May.\n</blockquote>\n<p>There is never a dull moment when tracking meme stocks.

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":170,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":371038598,"gmtCreate":1618890810414,"gmtModify":1631884329471,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the better&nbsp;","listText":"Hope for the better&nbsp;","text":"Hope for the better","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371038598","repostId":"2128689062","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":103930413,"gmtCreate":1619742157532,"gmtModify":1634210299698,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Impressive&nbsp;","listText":"Impressive&nbsp;","text":"Impressive","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/103930413","repostId":"1188611661","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188611661","pubTimestamp":1619734487,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188611661?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-30 06:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon sales surge 44% as it smashes earnings expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188611661","media":"CNBC","summary":"Amazon released first-quarter results on Thursday that trounced analysts’ expectations.\nThe company ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Amazon released first-quarter results on Thursday that trounced analysts’ expectations.</li>\n <li>The company confirmed that this year’s Prime Day will take place in June, which will likely help year over year comparisons for revenue in the second quarter.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Amazonshares climbed more than 3.5% in extended trading Thursday after the company&nbsp;released&nbsp;its first-quarter earnings, beating Wall Street’s expectations for earnings and revenue.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/798d7f0536203d2ae33b543f4dabf204\" tg-width=\"1281\" tg-height=\"591\"></p>\n<p>Here’s how the e-commerce giant fared, relative to analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Earnings:</b>$15.79 per share vs. $9.54 per share expected</li>\n <li><b>Revenue:</b>$108.52 billion vs. $104.47 billion expected</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Few companies have benefited from the pandemic-fueled surge of online shoppingas much as Amazon. Its first-quarter results showed the company’s business continues to be buoyed by the pandemic, with sales soaring 44% year-over-year to $108.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Amazon’s guidance for the second quarter implies that it expects the momentum to continue, which should help allay investor fears that business could slow in a post-pandemic environment. The company expects to post revenue between $110 billion and $116 billion, surpassing Wall Street’s projection $108.6 billion.</p>\n<p>Crucially, Amazon confirmed in its guidance that this year’s Prime Day will take place in June, which will likely help year-over-year comparisons for revenue in the second quarter. Typically, Amazon’s annual, two-day discount bonanza takes place in July, but the company postponed the event to October last year amid pandemic-related uncertainty.</p>\n<p>When asked about the Prime Day timing, CFO Brian Olsavsky said on a call with investors: “In many areas, July is vacation month, so it might be better for customers, sellers and vendors to experiment with a different time period. We believe that it might be better timing later in [the second quarter], so that’s what we’re testing this year.”</p>\n<p>Outside of its core retail segment, Amazon’s cloud-computing and advertising businesses continue to boom. Amazon Web Servicessawnet sales of $13.5 billion during the quarter, up 32% year over year. Amazon doesn’t disclose advertising sales, but it’s included in the company’s “Other” category, which saw its revenues grow 77% year over year to $6.9 billion.</p>\n<p>Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos also gave a rare glimpse into how the company’s streaming business has fared during the pandemic, as stuck-at-home consumers relied on online entertainment to keep busy. “As Prime Video turns 10, over 175 million Prime members have streamed shows and movies in the past year, and streaming hours are up more than 70% year over year,” he said.</p>\n<p>Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, is a key offering of the company’s Prime subscription service, which costs $119 a year and includes a range of other benefits like free, two-day shipping. Bezos disclosed earlier this month that the company now has 200 million Prime subscribers, 50 million more than it had at the start of 2020.</p>\n<p>Physical stores revenue, which includes Whole Foods Market and other brick-and-mortar offerings like Amazon Books, continued to fall. Sales slumped 16% to $3.9 billion. The category excludes online delivery, Olsavsky said.</p>\n<p>During the quarter, Amazon’s sales grew faster internationally than they did in North America. International revenue surged 60% year over year, more than any other segment, while North America revenue climbed 40%.</p>\n<p>As expected, Amazon will incur fewer costs this year related to coronavirus safety measures. Operating income is forecast to be between $4.5 billion and $8 billion in the second quarter, assuming $1.5 billion of costs related to Covid-19.

Its first-quarter results showed the company’s business continues to be buoyed by the pandemic, with sales soaring 44% year-over-year to $108.5 billion.\nAmazon’s guidance for the second quarter implies that it expects the momentum to continue, which should help allay investor fears that business could slow in a post-pandemic environment. The company expects to post revenue between $110 billion and $116 billion, surpassing Wall Street’s projection $108.6 billion.\nCrucially, Amazon confirmed in its guidance that this year’s Prime Day will take place in June, which will likely help year-over-year comparisons for revenue in the second quarter. Typically, Amazon’s annual, two-day discount bonanza takes place in July, but the company postponed the event to October last year amid pandemic-related uncertainty.\nWhen asked about the Prime Day timing, CFO Brian Olsavsky said on a call with investors: “In many areas, July is vacation month, so it might be better for customers, sellers and vendors to experiment with a different time period. We believe that it might be better timing later in [the second quarter], so that’s what we’re testing this year.”\nOutside of its core retail segment, Amazon’s cloud-computing and advertising businesses continue to boom. Amazon Web Servicessawnet sales of $13.5 billion during the quarter, up 32% year over year. Amazon doesn’t disclose advertising sales, but it’s included in the company’s “Other” category, which saw its revenues grow 77% year over year to $6.9 billion.\nAmazon CEO Jeff Bezos also gave a rare glimpse into how the company’s streaming business has fared during the pandemic, as stuck-at-home consumers relied on online entertainment to keep busy. “As Prime Video turns 10, over 175 million Prime members have streamed shows and movies in the past year, and streaming hours are up more than 70% year over year,” he said.\nAmazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, is a key offering of the company’s Prime subscription service, which costs $119 a year and includes a range of other benefits like free, two-day shipping. Bezos disclosed earlier this month that the company now has 200 million Prime subscribers, 50 million more than it had at the start of 2020.\nPhysical stores revenue, which includes Whole Foods Market and other brick-and-mortar offerings like Amazon Books, continued to fall. Sales slumped 16% to $3.9 billion. The category excludes online delivery, Olsavsky said.\nDuring the quarter, Amazon’s sales grew faster internationally than they did in North America. International revenue surged 60% year over year, more than any other segment, while North America revenue climbed 40%.\nAs expected, Amazon will incur fewer costs this year related to coronavirus safety measures. Operating income is forecast to be between $4.5 billion and $8 billion in the second quarter, assuming $1.5 billion of costs related to Covid-19. That’s in line with what Amazon executives predicted last quarter.\nAmazonsaidWednesday it would spend more than $1 billion on raising wages for over half a million of its U.S. operations workers. On a call with reporters, Olsavsky said it decided to move up the pay increase from the fall to this spring as volumes remain just as strong as they were at the beginning of the pandemic.\nOlsavsky declined to comment on Amazon’s CEO transition plans, which will come into play once Bezossteps down in the third quarter. Bezos will turn the helm over to AWS CEO Andy Jassy and assume the role of executive chairman of Amazon’s board.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":395,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378002681,"gmtCreate":1618976780743,"gmtModify":1634289461950,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice must buy apple stock&nbsp;","listText":"Nice must buy apple stock&nbsp;","text":"Nice must buy apple stock","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/378002681","repostId":"1193736432","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193736432","pubTimestamp":1618966262,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1193736432?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-21 08:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here’s everything Apple just announced: New iPad Pros, colorful iMacs, AirTags and more","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193736432","media":"cnbc","summary":"Applejust held its first product launch event of the year, where it announced a colorful new iMac and an updated iPad Pro with 5G and the M1 chip that’s also used in the company’s desktop computers.Apple also announced an AirTag lost-device tracking gadget and a refreshed Apple TV 4K with a brand-new remote.Investors didn’t appear to be impressed by the news.

No, it’s not a problem, it’s a tradition.\nScreenshot/Apple.com\nOne of Apple’s silliest traditions is that on the morning of an event it pulls its online Apple store down, giving up a few hours of online sales in exchange for building hype over its new products. Apple has done this for years, and technology has certainly gotten to the point where Apple could update its store without downtime — it does it all the time — but why mess with a tradition?— Kif Leswing\nWhat’s at stake for Apple?\nI wrote yesterday about some of thetensions bubbling under the surface at Apple.

That's where it was before the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the rate to 37% (as well as lowering the rates on four other brackets down the income ladder).</p><p>Kirk, formerly an attorney in the Internal Revenue Service's Office of Chief Counsel, said the potential rate raise was \"relatively low hanging fruit\" for the administration.</p><p>Ed Mills, a Washington D.C. policy analyst at Raymond James, agreed the potential rate hike looked likely. \"The political sales point is, 'It's not necessarily raising those taxes, it's reverting taxes back to where they were before the Trump tax cuts,'\" he said.</p><p>One quirk is the top rate in 2021  applies to individuals making at least $523,601 a year or couples making $628,301 a year. So does Biden shuffle things so households making $400,000 now fall under the top rate instead of the second-highest 35% rate? \"Those are all political decisions\" still to come, Mills said.Tweaking the top rate could produce $100 billion in new tax revenue, according to a Tuesday note from Evercore ISI -- the  investment banking advisory firm calls the change \"likely.\"</p><p><b>Revised estate taxes</b></p><p>The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act doubled the threshold where the 40% federal estate taxes kicked in. It previously was $5.49 million per person ($10.98 million for married couple) and this year is $11.58 million per person ($23.16 million for married couples). The number is indexed for inflation. Like the marginal rates, the 2017 law lets the estate tax exemptions expire after 2025.</p><p>But Biden may want to quicken the expiration date and, Kirk noted, he's brought on people who are keenly aware of estate-tax workings.</p><p>Lily Batchelder has been nominated as assistant secretary for tax policy in the Treasury Department, he noted. (The White House formally sent her nomination to the Senate last week.)</p><p>Batchelder previously taught at New York University's School of Law, where she estimated that federal estate taxes would rake in $16 billion last year, making for an effective estate tax rate around 2% .</p><p>\"Despite our founding vision as a land of opportunity, the United States ranks at or near the bottom among high-income countries in economic equality and intergenerational mobility. Our tax code plays a key role,\" Batchelder, also an Obama administration official, wrote  last year.</p><p>If estate taxes are getting revised, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> question is where the exemption level is set and whether the rate stays at 40%.</p><p>Some estate tax changes are a \"done deal\" in the eyes of Professor Donald Williamson, executive director of American University's Kogod Tax Policy Center. \"Politically, it makes sense because average working Americans don't have estates to leave to their children,\" he said.</p><p>Approximately 4,100 estate-tax returns will be filed for people who died last year, according to projections  .</p><p>An increase in estate tax also means the \"step up in basis\" is on the chopping block, Williamson said. This tax rule says if an heir sells inherited assets, the price appreciation -- and resulting capital gains tax -- starts from the time of inheritance, not when the asset was originally acquired.</p><p>If an asset like long-held shares in a blue-chip company keeps growing in value, that's a major shield against a major capital gains tax liability.</p><p>But there can be capital gains implications when businesses are sold or inherited -- and that's setting up battle lines.</p><p>\"Eliminating step-up in basis would require small business owners to pay a new tax when a family business partner dies, and potentially force them to sell their business just to pay the tax and associated fees,\" said Courtney Titus Brooks, senior manager of federal government relations at the National Federation of Independent Business, an advocacy organization for small businesses.</p><p>Biden's forthcoming proposal \"may include\" estate tax changes, which could generate $500 billion, and changes to the step-up in basis are \"very likely,\" Evercore ISI's note added.</p><p><b>New rules and rates for capital gains</b></p><p>Right now, the capital-gains rate for the richest taxpayers starts at 20%, though the rates may go higher  depending on the assets being sold.</p><p>Candidate Biden has said he'd raise the capital gains rate to 39.6% for household making at least $1 million so that their investment income is taxed just like their ordinary income.</p><p>Income brackets and estate taxes are one thing, but changes to the capital gains rules could be a tougher effort, Kirk said.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.</p>\n<p>But since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.</p>\n<p>Of course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.</p>\n<p>However, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.</p>\n<p>But despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:</p>\n<p><b>Competition</b></p>\n<p>The traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, like<b>Apple’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) Siri and<b>Amazon’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) Alexa.</p>\n<p>In such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms like<b>IQIYI</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>IQ</u></b>). Yet this business has been under pressure.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.\nBut since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.\nOf course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.\nHowever, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.\nBut despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:\nCompetition\nThe traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, likeApple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) Siri andAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.\nIn such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms likeIQIYI(NASDAQ:IQ). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.\nThe AI Play\nIt’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.  These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA).

These areas will be the biggest source of future growth and profitability moving forward.\nBasically, the credits are beginning to roll for AMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":425,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371036141,"gmtCreate":1618890855283,"gmtModify":1631884329468,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the best&nbsp;","listText":"Hope for the best&nbsp;","text":"Hope for the best","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371036141","repostId":"2128689062","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379937480,"gmtCreate":1618650549240,"gmtModify":1634291537250,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward&nbsp;","listText":"Looking forward&nbsp;","text":"Looking forward","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/379937480","repostId":"1179330583","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179330583","pubTimestamp":1618588042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179330583?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airbnb CEO says company is going to need millions more hosts to meet surging demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179330583","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up again, CEO Brian Chesky told CNBC.\n\"To meet the demand over the coming years, we're going to need ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/16/airbnb-ceo-says-company-is-going-to-need-millions-more-hosts-to-meet-demand.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":170,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
