Although investors have gotten used to big beats from the companies given the white-hot housing market, comments from management about continuing strength would likely bolster the stocks.\nHome Depot (HD) is up 25% year to date, and more than 18% in the past 12 months. Lowe’s has risen more than 18% in 2021 and 23% in the past year.Barron’s named Lowe’s Marvin Ellison to its Best CEOs list earlier this summer. The stock is up a market-beating 24% since we recommended it in March.\nBoth companies delivered better-than-expected first-quarter results in May, although Home Depot shares got a boost while Lowe’s stock slipped.\nFor the second quarter, analysts expect Home Depot to earn $4.43 a share from revenue of $40.57 billion, up from earnings of $3.86 a share in the prior quarter and $4.02 in the year-earlier period. For Lowe’s, the consensus calls for EPS of $4 and revenue of $26.79 billion, up from EPS of $3.21 in the previous quarter and $3.75 a year earlier.\nThe Street is upbeat about the home-improvement retailers in general. More than two-thirds of the 34 analysts tracked by FactSet who cover Home Depot rate it at Buy or the equivalent, while 29% are sidelined. There is one Sell rating.\nLowe’s is even more popular, with 79% of 33 analyst bullish, 18% rating it at Hold, and a single bearish call.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":135,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897474032,"gmtCreate":1628982873026,"gmtModify":1631889296568,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/897474032","repostId":"2159321505","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2159321505","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1628911811,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2159321505?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-14 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla seeks to reduce board members’ terms, make other changes in October shareholder meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2159321505","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Board members would serve for two years rather than three\nTesla CEO Elon Musk in Germany last year.

A full transcript follows the video.</p>\n<p><i>This video was recorded on July 29, 2021.</i></p>\n<p><b>Chris Hill:</b> It's Thursday, July 29th. Welcome to <i>MarketFoolery</i>. I'm Chris Hill. With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.</p>\n<p><b>John Rotonti:</b> Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> We got more earnings. It's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with <b>Starbucks</b>. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also <b>Square</b>. Square is building a super app, so is <b>SoFi</b>. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> </b>and <b>MasterCard</b>. You can have a basket that includes PayPal, Square, SoFi, any of these players. I'm not worried about PayPal though, it's one of the largest digital platform companies in the world. It's riding these long-term trends toward the digitization of cash, and basically, electronic e-commerce and mobile commerce. It's got huge brands in Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, and Paydiant, all of which help make financial transactions easier and more secure for both merchants and consumers. I mentioned both because this is a two-sided network; it's got over 400 million combined users when you count merchants and users on the platform, and that network effect combined with a trusted brand drives really attractive growth. I see this as a high-teens grower. In some quarters, maybe they reach 20%-plus growth for a fairly long period of time. Intermediate-term, five to seven years, I think this is a high-teens grower and it's growing very profitably, Chris.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> An important point there adding that they're not just growing, they're growing profitably. Last thing and then we will move on, is it safe to assume that three months from now, and I realize this might be annoying for some of the dozens of listeners, but every now and then, and this is one of those situations where when I really digest a company's earnings report, my main side is I can't wait to get to the next one, I can't wait for three months from now because I hear everything you're saying and I think to myself, \"OK, so in three months, I'm assuming we're going to know more about the take rate and is that a speed bump or is that something that they are able to have bounced back?\" We're going to know more about the eBay drag that you mentioned, like how long and how impactful is it?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year. Even if the take rate trends down slowly over time, it's not the end of the world, they can make that up with volume. Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter. It is quickly becoming, and by it, I mean the PayPal app, the super app, it's quickly becoming a utility in our daily lives. I'm not terribly worried, but yes, next quarter we'll know a little more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> iRobot's second-quarter revenue grew 31%, demand is up for the Roomba and other cleaning robots. But there is a semiconductor chip shortage that you may have heard something about, and not surprisingly, that is having an impact on iRobot's business.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's so funny going through this, not funny, but just enlightening going through this earning season and discovering all of the companies that are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. I cover semiconductors shifts at The Motley Fool. It is really eye-opening how important these tiny chips are to our daily lives. Thirty percent growth is phenomenal. Some of that is pandemic-driven because during the pandemic the economy shut down, we were all forced to, or many of us were forced to work from home, learn from home, exercise from home, game from home, and so we're spending more time at home so people were buying robotic vacuums. That 30% growth makes sense.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> You and I were chatting before we started recording about the five-year chart on iRobot. This is a stock, you go back to the summer of 2016, the stock has a little bit more than doubled since that. You get a double over a five-year period, that's great. Historically, that's a market-beating return. But the roller coaster that investors have been on over the past five years is terrifying. Depending on when you bought shares of iRobot, you're either thrilled or horribly disappointed.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> iRobot is one of the companies that -- such a great point, Chris -- it's one of the companies that faces really steep competition. Even though it's this great innovative product that many of us probably use and love better than pushing the vacuum ourselves, especially the heavy type of vacuums on carpet and stuff, it is facing competition from the likes of Dyson, which is another brilliant engineering company, from the likes of Shark, the Shark IQ, and there's others out there as well. Over the last five years, the chart that you're looking at, I believe iRobot has tried to increase prices at least once, maybe twice, and those prices didn't stick, it had to actually roll them back, and so we were talking about the pricing power we are seeing at Facebook. This is the opposite. They have tried to increase the price at least once that I remember reading about and maybe more than once and they didn't stick. What you see is that the gross margin line at iRobot, which is a rough indicator of pricing power, has fallen from 49% to 50% in 2016 and 2017 to 45%, 46%, and then most recently down to 42%. The volatility that you see in the gross margin line, I think, is leading to the volatility that you see in the stock price. It's going to be interesting to see if they can get the last 12 months gross margin of 42%, if they can get that back up into the mid-40% range.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Thank you for that reminder because I had forgotten about that incident where they tried to raise prices and it backfired on them. Among other things, it's a reminder that, in general, when it comes to consumer technology, I feel like we can put iRobot and the Roomba in the consumer technology space. In general, prices come down over time. A very good flat-screen TV costs you a lot less now than it did five and 10 years ago. <b>Apple</b> really is the outlier in its ability to continue to keep the iPhone at a high price point. You go back 10, 12 years, the first few years of the iPhone, the people who were bearish on Apple, part of their bearish argument was, \"Well, look at the history of consumer technology prices, they can't possibly keep this up. They're going to have to lower the price of the iPhone over time.\" In fact, they did the exact opposite.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's exactly right, and in order to maintain that pricing power, those average selling prices, you have to continually innovate and add new functionality and new features which Apple has been able to do largely with the iPhone. The thing we should mention about iRobot because you said depending on when you got on that roller coaster you either really enjoyed it or you felt sick to your stomach. One future investors, they like about this, is the stock is not terribly expensive right now, it's trading eighty-something dollars per share, its 52-week high was almost $200 per share, and on a price-to-free-cash-flow basis, it's trading at like a multiple of 15, which is low, Chris, that is low and the reason it's low is because it is such a volatile business, I think. The predictability of the business is not predictable, and so people aren't going to pay high multiples for it. But if you invert that price-to-free-cash-flow multiple, you get a free cash flow yield, and that's a yield of 7%. The higher the yield, the better, a 7% yield that compares to the 10-year Treasury note at 1.3%. A 7% yield also means that free cash flow doesn't have to grow a whole lot to generate mid-teens annualized return, free cash flow only has to grow 6%, 7%. You add the yield plus the growth, 7% yield, let's say 6% or 7% growth, and you get to mid-teens expected return. Now, it's not a guaranteed return, but it's a rough heuristic to calculate that. Maybe it's a decent time to buy this one. I don't know the company well enough to say any more than that, but it doesn't look terribly expensive here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> John Rotonti, great talking to you.

A full transcript follows the video.\nThis video was recorded on July 29, 2021.\nChris Hill: It's Thursday, July 29th. Welcome to MarketFoolery. I'm Chris Hill. With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.\nJohn Rotonti: Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.\nHill: We got more earnings. It's one of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.\nRotonti: That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.\nHill: I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.\nRotonti: I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.\nHill: How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?\nRotonti: No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.\nHill: I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"\nRotonti: Totally. Two things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.\nHill: Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with Starbucks. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.\nRotonti: Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also Square. Square is building a super app, so is SoFi. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.\nHill: It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"\nRotonti: Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as Visa and MasterCard.

I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year.

Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter.

Roughly speaking, it’s the gap between the rates of growth in money supply and gross domestic product, an indicator known to eco-geeks as Marshallian K. It just turned negative for the first time since 2018, meaning GDP is rising faster than the government’s M2 account.</p>\n<p>The shortfall comes from an expanding economy that’s quickly depleting the nation’s available money. The deficit could become a problem for markets at a time when excess liquidity is seen as underpinning rallies in everything from Bitcoin to meme stocks.</p>\n<p>“Put another way, the recovering economy is now drinking from a punch bowl that the stock market once had all to itself,” Doug Ramsey, Leuthold Group’s chief investment officer, wrote in a note last week.</p>\n<p>How big a threat is this? While stocks kept rising during frequent negative Marshallian K readings in the 1990s, the pattern since the 2008 global financial crisis -- a period when the central bank was in what Ramsey calls a “perpetual crisis mode” -- begs for caution.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29bd13488ad9f3e748da28092473f23e\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The Marshallian K fell below zero in 2010, a year when the S&amp;P 500 Index suffered a 16% correction. A similar dip in 2018 portended a selloff that almost killed that bull market.</p>\n<p>The Leuthold study is the latest attempt to handicap the market’s outlook from the perspective of liquidity. But not everyone is worried. Ed Yardeni, the president and founder of Yardeni Research Inc., says he prefers to plot not the growth rates but the absolute level of M2 against GDP to measure liquidity. Based on that, liquidity stood near a record high.</p>\n<p>“Some people start to freak out about the M2 growth rate,” he said in an interview on Bloomberg TV and Radio. “What they don’t really appreciate is M2 today is $5 trillion higher than it was before the pandemic. There is just a tremendous liquidity sitting there.”</p>\n<p>Others see limited impact from Fed tapering on the equity market. In June,researchfrom UBS Group AG showed that should the Fed turn off the spigot on its annual $1.4 trillion in quantitative-easing spending, the hit to the S&amp;P 500 would be a paltry 3% decline in prices.</p>\n<p>In 2013, when the Fed’s announcement on a reduction in stimulus sparked ataper tantrumthat sent 10-year Treasury yields skyward, the S&amp;P 500 pulled back almost 6% from its May peak that year. But stocks staged a full recovery within weeks and went on with a rally that eventually lifted the index 30% for the whole year.</p>\n<p>Skeptics, however, are quick to point out one big difference: equity valuations.</p>\n<p>“Back then, the stock market was trading at 15 times earnings. Now it’s 22 times earnings,” Matt Maley, chief market strategist for Miller Tabak + Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg TV with Caroline Hyde. “It will be hard for the market to ignore it this time around.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c0e312361e509a3fc0e8bfb3d9c649\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>For now, a liquidity drain suggested by the Marshallian K data has done little damage to the market, at least on the index level. The S&amp;P 500 is poised for a seventh straight monthly gain, reaching all-time highs almost every week.</p>\n<p>But Ramsey warns investors shouldn’t let their guard down. While the broad market has been strong -- the S&amp;P 500 closed Wednesday at a record for the 46th time this year -- fewer stocks are participating in the latest leg up. This could be blamed on falling liquidity, he says, and the days of abundant cash floating all stocks are likely gone.</p>\n<p>The Marshallian K indicator just slumped intonegative territoryfaster than ever.

Roughly speaking, it’s the gap between the rates of growth in money supply and gross domestic product, an indicator known to eco-geeks as Marshallian K. It just turned negative for the first time since 2018, meaning GDP is rising faster than the government’s M2 account.\nThe shortfall comes from an expanding economy that’s quickly depleting the nation’s available money. The deficit could become a problem for markets at a time when excess liquidity is seen as underpinning rallies in everything from Bitcoin to meme stocks.\n“Put another way, the recovering economy is now drinking from a punch bowl that the stock market once had all to itself,” Doug Ramsey, Leuthold Group’s chief investment officer, wrote in a note last week.\nHow big a threat is this? While stocks kept rising during frequent negative Marshallian K readings in the 1990s, the pattern since the 2008 global financial crisis -- a period when the central bank was in what Ramsey calls a “perpetual crisis mode” -- begs for caution.\n\nThe Marshallian K fell below zero in 2010, a year when the S&P 500 Index suffered a 16% correction. A similar dip in 2018 portended a selloff that almost killed that bull market.\nThe Leuthold study is the latest attempt to handicap the market’s outlook from the perspective of liquidity. But not everyone is worried. Ed Yardeni, the president and founder of Yardeni Research Inc., says he prefers to plot not the growth rates but the absolute level of M2 against GDP to measure liquidity. Based on that, liquidity stood near a record high.\n“Some people start to freak out about the M2 growth rate,” he said in an interview on Bloomberg TV and Radio. “What they don’t really appreciate is M2 today is $5 trillion higher than it was before the pandemic. There is just a tremendous liquidity sitting there.”\nOthers see limited impact from Fed tapering on the equity market. In June,researchfrom UBS Group AG showed that should the Fed turn off the spigot on its annual $1.4 trillion in quantitative-easing spending, the hit to the S&P 500 would be a paltry 3% decline in prices.\nIn 2013, when the Fed’s announcement on a reduction in stimulus sparked ataper tantrumthat sent 10-year Treasury yields skyward, the S&P 500 pulled back almost 6% from its May peak that year. But stocks staged a full recovery within weeks and went on with a rally that eventually lifted the index 30% for the whole year.\nSkeptics, however, are quick to point out one big difference: equity valuations.\n“Back then, the stock market was trading at 15 times earnings. Now it’s 22 times earnings,” Matt Maley, chief market strategist for Miller Tabak + Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg TV with Caroline Hyde. “It will be hard for the market to ignore it this time around.”\n\nFor now, a liquidity drain suggested by the Marshallian K data has done little damage to the market, at least on the index level. The S&P 500 is poised for a seventh straight monthly gain, reaching all-time highs almost every week.\nBut Ramsey warns investors shouldn’t let their guard down. While the broad market has been strong -- the S&P 500 closed Wednesday at a record for the 46th time this year -- fewer stocks are participating in the latest leg up. This could be blamed on falling liquidity, he says, and the days of abundant cash floating all stocks are likely gone.\nThe Marshallian K indicator just slumped intonegative territoryfaster than ever. During the second quarter, M2 money expanded 12.7% from a year ago, trailing the nominal GDP growth rate of 16.7%. That came after four quarters of excessive liquidity where the spread stayed above 20 percentage points.\n“The Marshallian K now shows liquidity not only deteriorating but actually contracting -- and at a time when hopes (as embedded in valuations) have never been higher,” Ramsey said. “If the Fed can drawdown QE in the next year without triggering a decline of those levels, it will truly have achieved something remarkable. But we’d rather invest based on the probable.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":202,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896085007,"gmtCreate":1628536677709,"gmtModify":1633746392421,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/896085007","repostId":"2158444273","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2158444273","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1628519700,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2158444273?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-09 22:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A Bad Quarter Offers a Good Opportunity to Get In on This Historically Strong Bank Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2158444273","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This bank has struggled in 2021 and now trades at a historically low valuation that could present a good buying opportunity.","content":"<p><b>M&amp;T Bank</b> (NYSE:MTB) turned in disappointing second-quarter results last month as the bank continues to deal with loans affected by the pandemic as well as muted loan growth. Investors have been wary of the stock this year (the price is up only about 8.4%), while many bank indexes are up more than 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>As a result, the struggles of M&amp;T have brought the bank down to a historically low valuation that makes this a potentially good time for interested investors to buy in on the stock. Here's why.</p>\n<h2>A tough second quarter</h2>\n<p>The regional bank (it manages $150 billion in assets) generated diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.41 on total revenue of $1.47 billion in the second quarter. Both EPS and revenue missed analysts' expectations for the quarter.</p>\n<p>There were some <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time expenses baked into the quarter, including $4 million related to M&amp;T Bank's acquisition of <b>People's United Financial</b> (NASDAQ:PBCT), which will propel M&amp;T past $200 billion in assets when the deal is complete. Without such expenses, M&amp;T would have generated diluted operating EPS of $3.45, which still would have come up short of analysts' consensus of $3.60 for the quarter. Net interest income for the quarter, which is essentially the profit made on loans and securities, fell 4% from the first quarter of the year. Loan growth continues to be very hard to find across the banking industry, but even more so for M&amp;T, which is mainly a commercial lender -- consumer lending is seeing more momentum than the commercial side.</p>\n<p>Additionally, M&amp;T is unique in that it continues to see credit quality heading in the wrong direction. In the second quarter, the bank saw its nonaccrual loans, those that have gone 90 days without receiving a payment, climb 15% from the first quarter of the year. CFO Darren King also said that the bank expects to disclose in its second-quarter regulatory filing an increase in criticized loans, which are not necessarily past due but have given the bank reason to believe they could be headed that way. King attributed the rise in nonaccrual loans to \"the prolonged recovery in certain sectors of the economy, notably hospitality and healthcare.\" M&amp;T Bank also released only $15 million from its reserve capital built up for loan losses back as profits in the quarter, which is a lot less than many of its peers.</p>\n<p>Expenses at the bank in Q2 rose more than 7% year over year, and King said there could be some pressure on expenses for the remainder of the year. King said that excluding one-time expenses like those related to the acquisition of People's United, he expects core operating expenses for the year to be 3% to 5% higher than in 2020, mainly because of items such as corporate incentives and expenses related to fee income growth.</p>\n<h2>Some optimism on credit</h2>\n<p>While credit is concerning, there are reasons to remain optimistic. Net charge-offs (debt unlikely to be collected and a good indicator of actual losses) continued to fall in the quarter, and King said the bank is seeing some good signs for loans in its hard-hit sectors.</p>\n<p>For criticized loans, King said that while certain properties are struggling, many are still earning interest because the loan sponsors have outside sources of funding to support the deals. King also said that appraisals on underlying properties in its criticized and nonaccrual loans have remained strong. Occupancy rates in the bank's hotel portfolio are up across the board, but not yet at pre-pandemic levels, he said, largely due to the continued lack of business travel. King believes that as vacancy rates and revenue per available room pick up, those assets should revert from criticized to performing. Obviously, there are risks of this not happening due to the surging delta variant of the coronavirus, but M&amp;T has traditionally been a pretty conservative bank when it comes to credit, so I'm not ready to panic just yet.</p>\n<p>We also know that M&amp;T has underwritten its hotel and retail loans fairly conservatively. Last year, the bank disclosed that the average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, which essentially tells you how much equity a borrower has put into a property, came in at 53% in M&amp;T's hotel portfolio and 57% in the retail portfolio. That means that borrowers put down 47% and 43% of equity, respectively, on the property at origination. In New York City, where retail and hotels got hit particularly hard at the beginning of the pandemic, the LTVs are even better, in the low 40s.</p>\n<h2>People's United acquisition</h2>\n<p>Other good signs are that M&amp;T Bank continues to grow non-interest-bearing deposits, those it pays no interest on, nicely, with non-interest-bearing deposits in Q2 up nearly 4% from the sequential quarter. These deposits now make up roughly 43% of total deposits.</p>\n<p>The last reason to remain positive is M&amp;T's upcoming acquisition of People's United, a bank based in Connecticut with roughly $60 billion in assets. The addition of People's United is going to significantly enlarge M&amp;T and create a very dense footprint between Buffalo, N.Y.,&nbsp; Washington, D.C., and Boston. The acquisition will immediately increase M&amp;T's tangible book value (TBV), which is equity minus goodwill and intangible assets. Banks trade based on TBV, so a growing TBV typically helps the stock.</p>\n<p>The deal is also supposed to boost M&amp;T's EPS by 10% to 12% in 2023. The deal should open up some new revenue opportunities as well because People's United has lots of small business commercial customers, which M&amp;T does very well with in its own markets. M&amp;T can cross-sell a lot of its fee income products to these customers, while People's United brings a solid equipment financing business that it can expand to M&amp;T customers.</p>\n<h2>Getting in at a good valuation</h2>\n<p>Currently, M&amp;T is trading at about 161% to TBV, which is low for the bank historically -- it has traded this low over the past decade only during the pandemic.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/001a04090864d84fcfd19d0c39fd09dd\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>MTB Price to Tangible Book Value data by YCharts</p>\n<p>M&amp;T is also a bank that regularly puts up a strong return on equity, the technical rate of return the company makes on its capital.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7f9b72822bd766a92ab655f12594fb5\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>MTB Return on Equity data by YCharts</p>\n<p>While credit quality is the big question, and it's never good to see nonaccrual and criticized loans rising, I do think the bank is likely acting conservatively right now, as it has in the past. I also think that commercial lending will eventually pick up (although likely not this year). There's also the acquisition of People's United, which gives M&amp;T increased scale, and the fact that this is the same bank with the same management team and the same business model that has been successful for a long time now.</p>\n<p>While there may be some short-term pain, this is an opportunity to buy a long-standing, strong-performing bank stock at a historically low valuation.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>A Bad Quarter Offers a Good Opportunity to Get In on This Historically Strong Bank Stock</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\">\nA Bad Quarter Offers a Good Opportunity to Get In on This Historically Strong Bank Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-09 22:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/09/bad-quarter-good-opportunity-bank-stock-m-and-t/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>M&T Bank (NYSE:MTB) turned in disappointing second-quarter results last month as the bank continues to deal with loans affected by the pandemic as well as muted loan growth.

M&T can cross-sell a lot of its fee income products to these customers, while People's United brings a solid equipment financing business that it can expand to M&T customers.\nGetting in at a good valuation\nCurrently, M&T is trading at about 161% to TBV, which is low for the bank historically -- it has traded this low over the past decade only during the pandemic.\n\nMTB Price to Tangible Book Value data by YCharts\nM&T is also a bank that regularly puts up a strong return on equity, the technical rate of return the company makes on its capital.\n\nMTB Return on Equity data by YCharts\nWhile credit quality is the big question, and it's never good to see nonaccrual and criticized loans rising, I do think the bank is likely acting conservatively right now, as it has in the past. I also think that commercial lending will eventually pick up (although likely not this year). There's also the acquisition of People's United, which gives M&T increased scale, and the fact that this is the same bank with the same management team and the same business model that has been successful for a long time now.\nWhile there may be some short-term pain, this is an opportunity to buy a long-standing, strong-performing bank stock at a historically low valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896082446,"gmtCreate":1628536629186,"gmtModify":1633746392667,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/896082446","repostId":"2158478684","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891112609,"gmtCreate":1628348079501,"gmtModify":1633751523077,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/891112609","repostId":"1119792130","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891968458,"gmtCreate":1628318925774,"gmtModify":1633751671808,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/891968458","repostId":"2157649395","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2157649395","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":1628259051,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2157649395?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-06 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dollar jumps on jobs report to highest this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2157649395","media":"Reuters","summary":"Jobs report adds to dollar gains for the week.\nDollar index up nearly 0.5% on the day.\nEuro down 0.5","content":"<ul>\n <li>Jobs report adds to dollar gains for the week.</li>\n <li>Dollar index up nearly 0.5% on the day.</li>\n <li>Euro down 0.5% vs dollar.</li>\n <li>Dollar rises above 110 yen.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - The dollar doubled an earlier gain on Friday after a U.S. government report showed jobs grew more than expected, pushing up bond yields and adding to arguments for faster tightening of U.S. monetary policy.</p>\n<p>The dollar index against major currencies was up 0.49% to 92.678 at 9:52 a.m. ET (1352 GMT).</p>\n<p>The report showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 943,000 jobs in July.

The company's move to expand the product's reach could help it maintain that trend for a long time to come, giving investors all the more reason to buy this top 5G stock if they haven't already.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":143,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":177265108,"gmtCreate":1627225558404,"gmtModify":1633767051546,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/177265108","repostId":"1153219140","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839810732,"gmtCreate":1629138356526,"gmtModify":1631889296559,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/839810732","repostId":"2159522219","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148343077,"gmtCreate":1625936833999,"gmtModify":1633931477564,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/148343077","repostId":"1177397700","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177397700","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625876446,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1177397700?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-10 08:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Which Company Can Reach $1 Trillion After Facebook?

Roughly speaking, it’s the gap between the rates of growth in money supply and gross domestic product, an indicator known to eco-geeks as Marshallian K. It just turned negative for the first time since 2018, meaning GDP is rising faster than the government’s M2 account.</p>\n<p>The shortfall comes from an expanding economy that’s quickly depleting the nation’s available money. The deficit could become a problem for markets at a time when excess liquidity is seen as underpinning rallies in everything from Bitcoin to meme stocks.</p>\n<p>“Put another way, the recovering economy is now drinking from a punch bowl that the stock market once had all to itself,” Doug Ramsey, Leuthold Group’s chief investment officer, wrote in a note last week.</p>\n<p>How big a threat is this? While stocks kept rising during frequent negative Marshallian K readings in the 1990s, the pattern since the 2008 global financial crisis -- a period when the central bank was in what Ramsey calls a “perpetual crisis mode” -- begs for caution.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29bd13488ad9f3e748da28092473f23e\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The Marshallian K fell below zero in 2010, a year when the S&amp;P 500 Index suffered a 16% correction. A similar dip in 2018 portended a selloff that almost killed that bull market.</p>\n<p>The Leuthold study is the latest attempt to handicap the market’s outlook from the perspective of liquidity. But not everyone is worried. Ed Yardeni, the president and founder of Yardeni Research Inc., says he prefers to plot not the growth rates but the absolute level of M2 against GDP to measure liquidity. Based on that, liquidity stood near a record high.</p>\n<p>“Some people start to freak out about the M2 growth rate,” he said in an interview on Bloomberg TV and Radio. “What they don’t really appreciate is M2 today is $5 trillion higher than it was before the pandemic. There is just a tremendous liquidity sitting there.”</p>\n<p>Others see limited impact from Fed tapering on the equity market. In June,researchfrom UBS Group AG showed that should the Fed turn off the spigot on its annual $1.4 trillion in quantitative-easing spending, the hit to the S&amp;P 500 would be a paltry 3% decline in prices.</p>\n<p>In 2013, when the Fed’s announcement on a reduction in stimulus sparked ataper tantrumthat sent 10-year Treasury yields skyward, the S&amp;P 500 pulled back almost 6% from its May peak that year. But stocks staged a full recovery within weeks and went on with a rally that eventually lifted the index 30% for the whole year.</p>\n<p>Skeptics, however, are quick to point out one big difference: equity valuations.</p>\n<p>“Back then, the stock market was trading at 15 times earnings. Now it’s 22 times earnings,” Matt Maley, chief market strategist for Miller Tabak + Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg TV with Caroline Hyde. “It will be hard for the market to ignore it this time around.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c0e312361e509a3fc0e8bfb3d9c649\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>For now, a liquidity drain suggested by the Marshallian K data has done little damage to the market, at least on the index level. The S&amp;P 500 is poised for a seventh straight monthly gain, reaching all-time highs almost every week.</p>\n<p>But Ramsey warns investors shouldn’t let their guard down. While the broad market has been strong -- the S&amp;P 500 closed Wednesday at a record for the 46th time this year -- fewer stocks are participating in the latest leg up. This could be blamed on falling liquidity, he says, and the days of abundant cash floating all stocks are likely gone.</p>\n<p>The Marshallian K indicator just slumped intonegative territoryfaster than ever.

Roughly speaking, it’s the gap between the rates of growth in money supply and gross domestic product, an indicator known to eco-geeks as Marshallian K. It just turned negative for the first time since 2018, meaning GDP is rising faster than the government’s M2 account.\nThe shortfall comes from an expanding economy that’s quickly depleting the nation’s available money. The deficit could become a problem for markets at a time when excess liquidity is seen as underpinning rallies in everything from Bitcoin to meme stocks.\n“Put another way, the recovering economy is now drinking from a punch bowl that the stock market once had all to itself,” Doug Ramsey, Leuthold Group’s chief investment officer, wrote in a note last week.\nHow big a threat is this? While stocks kept rising during frequent negative Marshallian K readings in the 1990s, the pattern since the 2008 global financial crisis -- a period when the central bank was in what Ramsey calls a “perpetual crisis mode” -- begs for caution.\n\nThe Marshallian K fell below zero in 2010, a year when the S&P 500 Index suffered a 16% correction. A similar dip in 2018 portended a selloff that almost killed that bull market.\nThe Leuthold study is the latest attempt to handicap the market’s outlook from the perspective of liquidity. But not everyone is worried. Ed Yardeni, the president and founder of Yardeni Research Inc., says he prefers to plot not the growth rates but the absolute level of M2 against GDP to measure liquidity. Based on that, liquidity stood near a record high.\n“Some people start to freak out about the M2 growth rate,” he said in an interview on Bloomberg TV and Radio. “What they don’t really appreciate is M2 today is $5 trillion higher than it was before the pandemic. There is just a tremendous liquidity sitting there.”\nOthers see limited impact from Fed tapering on the equity market. In June,researchfrom UBS Group AG showed that should the Fed turn off the spigot on its annual $1.4 trillion in quantitative-easing spending, the hit to the S&P 500 would be a paltry 3% decline in prices.\nIn 2013, when the Fed’s announcement on a reduction in stimulus sparked ataper tantrumthat sent 10-year Treasury yields skyward, the S&P 500 pulled back almost 6% from its May peak that year. But stocks staged a full recovery within weeks and went on with a rally that eventually lifted the index 30% for the whole year.\nSkeptics, however, are quick to point out one big difference: equity valuations.\n“Back then, the stock market was trading at 15 times earnings. Now it’s 22 times earnings,” Matt Maley, chief market strategist for Miller Tabak + Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg TV with Caroline Hyde. “It will be hard for the market to ignore it this time around.”\n\nFor now, a liquidity drain suggested by the Marshallian K data has done little damage to the market, at least on the index level. The S&P 500 is poised for a seventh straight monthly gain, reaching all-time highs almost every week.\nBut Ramsey warns investors shouldn’t let their guard down. While the broad market has been strong -- the S&P 500 closed Wednesday at a record for the 46th time this year -- fewer stocks are participating in the latest leg up. This could be blamed on falling liquidity, he says, and the days of abundant cash floating all stocks are likely gone.\nThe Marshallian K indicator just slumped intonegative territoryfaster than ever. During the second quarter, M2 money expanded 12.7% from a year ago, trailing the nominal GDP growth rate of 16.7%. That came after four quarters of excessive liquidity where the spread stayed above 20 percentage points.\n“The Marshallian K now shows liquidity not only deteriorating but actually contracting -- and at a time when hopes (as embedded in valuations) have never been higher,” Ramsey said. “If the Fed can drawdown QE in the next year without triggering a decline of those levels, it will truly have achieved something remarkable. But we’d rather invest based on the probable.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":202,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891112609,"gmtCreate":1628348079501,"gmtModify":1633751523077,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/891112609","repostId":"1119792130","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174485123,"gmtCreate":1627126710662,"gmtModify":1633767767266,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/174485123","repostId":"1151500518","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151500518","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627092269,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1151500518?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-24 10:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tencent was ordered to remove the exclusive copyright of online music","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151500518","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to ","content":"<p>The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to law, ordering Tencent and its affiliated companies to take measures to restore the state of market competition, such as canceling the exclusive music copyright within 30 days, stopping the payment of copyright fees such as high prepayment, and not requiring the upstream copyright party to give conditions superior to its competitors without justified reasons.

With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.</p>\n<p><b>John Rotonti:</b> Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> We got more earnings. It's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with <b>Starbucks</b>. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also <b>Square</b>. Square is building a super app, so is <b>SoFi</b>. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> </b>and <b>MasterCard</b>. You can have a basket that includes PayPal, Square, SoFi, any of these players. I'm not worried about PayPal though, it's one of the largest digital platform companies in the world. It's riding these long-term trends toward the digitization of cash, and basically, electronic e-commerce and mobile commerce. It's got huge brands in Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, and Paydiant, all of which help make financial transactions easier and more secure for both merchants and consumers. I mentioned both because this is a two-sided network; it's got over 400 million combined users when you count merchants and users on the platform, and that network effect combined with a trusted brand drives really attractive growth. I see this as a high-teens grower. In some quarters, maybe they reach 20%-plus growth for a fairly long period of time. Intermediate-term, five to seven years, I think this is a high-teens grower and it's growing very profitably, Chris.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> An important point there adding that they're not just growing, they're growing profitably. Last thing and then we will move on, is it safe to assume that three months from now, and I realize this might be annoying for some of the dozens of listeners, but every now and then, and this is one of those situations where when I really digest a company's earnings report, my main side is I can't wait to get to the next one, I can't wait for three months from now because I hear everything you're saying and I think to myself, \"OK, so in three months, I'm assuming we're going to know more about the take rate and is that a speed bump or is that something that they are able to have bounced back?\" We're going to know more about the eBay drag that you mentioned, like how long and how impactful is it?</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Yeah. I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year. Even if the take rate trends down slowly over time, it's not the end of the world, they can make that up with volume. Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter. It is quickly becoming, and by it, I mean the PayPal app, the super app, it's quickly becoming a utility in our daily lives. I'm not terribly worried, but yes, next quarter we'll know a little more.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> iRobot's second-quarter revenue grew 31%, demand is up for the Roomba and other cleaning robots. But there is a semiconductor chip shortage that you may have heard something about, and not surprisingly, that is having an impact on iRobot's business.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's so funny going through this, not funny, but just enlightening going through this earning season and discovering all of the companies that are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. I cover semiconductors shifts at The Motley Fool. It is really eye-opening how important these tiny chips are to our daily lives. Thirty percent growth is phenomenal. Some of that is pandemic-driven because during the pandemic the economy shut down, we were all forced to, or many of us were forced to work from home, learn from home, exercise from home, game from home, and so we're spending more time at home so people were buying robotic vacuums. That 30% growth makes sense.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> You and I were chatting before we started recording about the five-year chart on iRobot. This is a stock, you go back to the summer of 2016, the stock has a little bit more than doubled since that. You get a double over a five-year period, that's great. Historically, that's a market-beating return. But the roller coaster that investors have been on over the past five years is terrifying. Depending on when you bought shares of iRobot, you're either thrilled or horribly disappointed.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> iRobot is one of the companies that -- such a great point, Chris -- it's one of the companies that faces really steep competition. Even though it's this great innovative product that many of us probably use and love better than pushing the vacuum ourselves, especially the heavy type of vacuums on carpet and stuff, it is facing competition from the likes of Dyson, which is another brilliant engineering company, from the likes of Shark, the Shark IQ, and there's others out there as well. Over the last five years, the chart that you're looking at, I believe iRobot has tried to increase prices at least once, maybe twice, and those prices didn't stick, it had to actually roll them back, and so we were talking about the pricing power we are seeing at Facebook. This is the opposite. They have tried to increase the price at least once that I remember reading about and maybe more than once and they didn't stick. What you see is that the gross margin line at iRobot, which is a rough indicator of pricing power, has fallen from 49% to 50% in 2016 and 2017 to 45%, 46%, and then most recently down to 42%. The volatility that you see in the gross margin line, I think, is leading to the volatility that you see in the stock price. It's going to be interesting to see if they can get the last 12 months gross margin of 42%, if they can get that back up into the mid-40% range.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> Thank you for that reminder because I had forgotten about that incident where they tried to raise prices and it backfired on them. Among other things, it's a reminder that, in general, when it comes to consumer technology, I feel like we can put iRobot and the Roomba in the consumer technology space. In general, prices come down over time. A very good flat-screen TV costs you a lot less now than it did five and 10 years ago. <b>Apple</b> really is the outlier in its ability to continue to keep the iPhone at a high price point. You go back 10, 12 years, the first few years of the iPhone, the people who were bearish on Apple, part of their bearish argument was, \"Well, look at the history of consumer technology prices, they can't possibly keep this up. They're going to have to lower the price of the iPhone over time.\" In fact, they did the exact opposite.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> It's exactly right, and in order to maintain that pricing power, those average selling prices, you have to continually innovate and add new functionality and new features which Apple has been able to do largely with the iPhone. The thing we should mention about iRobot because you said depending on when you got on that roller coaster you either really enjoyed it or you felt sick to your stomach. One future investors, they like about this, is the stock is not terribly expensive right now, it's trading eighty-something dollars per share, its 52-week high was almost $200 per share, and on a price-to-free-cash-flow basis, it's trading at like a multiple of 15, which is low, Chris, that is low and the reason it's low is because it is such a volatile business, I think. The predictability of the business is not predictable, and so people aren't going to pay high multiples for it. But if you invert that price-to-free-cash-flow multiple, you get a free cash flow yield, and that's a yield of 7%. The higher the yield, the better, a 7% yield that compares to the 10-year Treasury note at 1.3%. A 7% yield also means that free cash flow doesn't have to grow a whole lot to generate mid-teens annualized return, free cash flow only has to grow 6%, 7%. You add the yield plus the growth, 7% yield, let's say 6% or 7% growth, and you get to mid-teens expected return. Now, it's not a guaranteed return, but it's a rough heuristic to calculate that. Maybe it's a decent time to buy this one. I don't know the company well enough to say any more than that, but it doesn't look terribly expensive here.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> John Rotonti, great talking to you. Thanks so much for being here.</p>\n<p><b>Rotonti:</b> Thank you, Chris. Always love being on the show.</p>\n<p><b>Hill:</b> As always, people on the program may have interest in the stocks they talk about and The Motley Fool may have formal recommendations for or against, so don't buy or sell stocks based solely on what you hear. That's going to do it for this edition of <i>MarketFoolery</i>, the show is mixed by Austin Morgan. I'm Chris Hill, thanks for listening.

With me, for the first time in a while, it's John Rotonti. Thanks for being here.\nJohn Rotonti: Thanks, Chris. Glad to be here.\nHill: We got more earnings. It's one of those weeks. We're going to talk PayPal, we're going to talk iRobot, we're going to start with the social network. Facebook's second-quarter revenue came in just north of $29 billion. It's interesting because Facebook, it's not like their ad inventory is getting dramatically larger but they've demonstrated their ability to charge more for ads, and you got to like that pricing power if you're a shareholder.\nRotonti: That's exactly right. Their revenue grew 50% constant currency in the quarter. Of that top-line growth, 6% came from growth in the number of ads or the number of impressions but 47% increase in the price per ad. Like you said, that's a lot of pricing power. On some level, it does show that businesses of all sizes, excuse me, are willing to pay Facebook more for better ad placement, higher ROI, higher return on their ad spend and then better, more effective measurement of the effectiveness of those ads, so they're willing to pay Facebook more.\nHill: I know Facebook gets a lot of attention for a lot of other things that have nothing to do with advertising. I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that they are really, really good at this. In the same way that Google is really good at search, Facebook is really good at the business of advertising.\nRotonti: I think they are the best at the business of advertising. In my opinion, I think they are the best.\nHill: How big is the Oculus for them? For those unfamiliar, this is their virtual reality goggles headset. As someone who is watching a decent amount of the Summer Olympics, I'm seeing a lot of ads that Facebook is doing for the Oculus and it seems like this is something they are very serious about from a business standpoint. It's not just, \"Oh, this is a fun thing to play with.\" It seems like the business aspirations around Oculus are pretty lofty or do I have that wrong?\nRotonti: No, I think you have that right, Chris. They break out their revenue by advertising and then other, most of the other is Oculus. I think that grew somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-35% this quarter if memory serves, which is great. The Oculus 2, their second version of the virtual reality headset has gotten rave reviews, and I've read probably 10 or more, a dozen reviews and it's gotten rave reviews. More important than the growth that it's seeing in Oculus is that VR and AR is a major investment area for Zuckerberg and Facebook. Not only are they investing in Oculus and the Quest, but they're coming out with smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban's parent company. But all of that Chris is a part of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the next stage of Facebook. In a lot of ways, this was one of the most important calls I think in Facebook history, because Mark Zuckerberg talked about how he wants to transition the company over the next several years from being primarily a social media company into a metaverse company. He laid out in the call and in some interviews he's done recently with The Verge, for example. But he laid out on the call what the metaverse is, he defined it, and how Facebook may play a role in building out this metaverse, and VR and Oculus will play a role in that.\nHill: I'm trying to wrap my head around this because as someone who's had the chance to try virtual reality goggles and that thing, it's pretty compelling. But it's pretty compelling from the standpoint of this is a fun thing to do. From a business standpoint, there are a lot of investors who get a little nervous when they hear about CEOs saying, \"We're shifting our business.\" If you're a longtime shareholder of Facebook, you're happy with how the business has been run. Is this a situation where you look at what Zuckerberg and his team, this pivot they're trying to do, is at the expense of the up until now, highly lucrative social network they have built or is this like, \"No, we're going to keep that golden goose producing those eggs. But meanwhile, we're going to invest a lot of money into Oculus. We're not going to build the Oculus and the metaverse at the expense of the existing business.\"\nRotonti: Totally. Two things there. One is, Zuckerberg has trained his investor base, he's trained his shareholders from very early days and earnings calls to look at the long term. He has always laid out five-, seven-, and 10-year plans. That's one thing. Yes, the stock is selling off a bit today but Facebook investors I think are accustomed to this long-term shift. The other thing is, one of the key aspects of a metaverse is that there are going to be these economies in these virtual worlds. Facebook I believe if they're successful will be able to transition a lot of their advertising business, a lot of what their ability and e-commerce and payments over into the virtual worlds. It's not a shift so much from an economic point of view, I think it will be able to maintain good economics but I think Zuckerberg thinks that the next internet platform is going to be the metaverse. Facebook is clearly a major internet player now and so if they want Facebook to be a major internet player in the future, then it has to do so in this next paradigm shift which is the metaverse.\nHill: Shares of PayPal are down 6% this morning despite second-quarter profits coming in higher than expected. Earlier in the week, PayPal was close to an all-time high. I talked to Tim Byers yesterday about this with Starbucks. Just like with Starbucks, there was a lot to like in their quarter but there were enough things that weren't amazing that the stock sold off a little bit similar to PayPal. There's a lot to like here, total payment volume of 40%, but it seems like with PayPal there are enough short-term question marks that I get why you combine that with the stock close to an all-time high, I get why it's selling off a little bit today.\nRotonti: Yeah. Sometimes stocks sell off just because of what you said, just because they need to take a breather, sometimes they just had an all-time high. Could be a little of that. I think though that the investors are digesting what this drag from eBay, losing eBay business is going to be. What I mean by that is they're quantifying it, how much of a drag is it going to be going forward? I think PayPal suggested on the call that it's a little more of a drag than management originally expected, so there's that eBay drag. Also, the take rate is falling at PayPal, the amount that basically they charge to use their service. One question investors may be asking is, is this from increased competition? Are they having to lower prices? Because yes, PayPal's building is an amazing super app. It's got huge functionality across a lot of different use cases. I own PayPal, but also Square. Square is building a super app, so is SoFi. SoFi is building a super app. They guided a little light on revenue, we don't know if that guidance came in a little light because of eBay or because they're seeing increased competition from the likes of Square and PayPal or maybe a little bit of both.\nHill: It's a great point about the competition because for all the success that they've had, particularly with things like Venmo, it makes sense that Square is doing what they're doing, they're not just going to cede the ground to PayPal like, \"Well, that's it. I guess they won.\"\nRotonti: Totally, Chris, I think that digital payments is such a massive addressable market, the size of the market, and then it's growing so rapidly. I don't think we have to pick just one. This is one of those ones when I think a basket is a fine approach. I own PayPal and Square as well as Visa and MasterCard. You can have a basket that includes PayPal, Square, SoFi, any of these players. I'm not worried about PayPal though, it's one of the largest digital platform companies in the world. It's riding these long-term trends toward the digitization of cash, and basically, electronic e-commerce and mobile commerce. It's got huge brands in Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, and Paydiant, all of which help make financial transactions easier and more secure for both merchants and consumers. I mentioned both because this is a two-sided network; it's got over 400 million combined users when you count merchants and users on the platform, and that network effect combined with a trusted brand drives really attractive growth. I see this as a high-teens grower. In some quarters, maybe they reach 20%-plus growth for a fairly long period of time. Intermediate-term, five to seven years, I think this is a high-teens grower and it's growing very profitably, Chris.\nHill: An important point there adding that they're not just growing, they're growing profitably. Last thing and then we will move on, is it safe to assume that three months from now, and I realize this might be annoying for some of the dozens of listeners, but every now and then, and this is one of those situations where when I really digest a company's earnings report, my main side is I can't wait to get to the next one, I can't wait for three months from now because I hear everything you're saying and I think to myself, \"OK, so in three months, I'm assuming we're going to know more about the take rate and is that a speed bump or is that something that they are able to have bounced back?\" We're going to know more about the eBay drag that you mentioned, like how long and how impactful is it?\nRotonti: Yeah. I think we'll know a little bit more in a quarter and I think we'll know a lot more in a year. Even if the take rate trends down slowly over time, it's not the end of the world, they can make that up with volume. Like I said, this is a super app, it offers peer-to-peer money transfer, it offers remittance across borders, it offers credit, it offers small loans to businesses, crypto by selling and holding crypto and now buy now, pay later, which grew something like 49% or 50% in the quarter. It is quickly becoming, and by it, I mean the PayPal app, the super app, it's quickly becoming a utility in our daily lives. I'm not terribly worried, but yes, next quarter we'll know a little more.\nHill: iRobot's second-quarter revenue grew 31%, demand is up for the Roomba and other cleaning robots. But there is a semiconductor chip shortage that you may have heard something about, and not surprisingly, that is having an impact on iRobot's business.\nRotonti: It's so funny going through this, not funny, but just enlightening going through this earning season and discovering all of the companies that are being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. I cover semiconductors shifts at The Motley Fool. It is really eye-opening how important these tiny chips are to our daily lives. Thirty percent growth is phenomenal. Some of that is pandemic-driven because during the pandemic the economy shut down, we were all forced to, or many of us were forced to work from home, learn from home, exercise from home, game from home, and so we're spending more time at home so people were buying robotic vacuums. That 30% growth makes sense.\nHill: You and I were chatting before we started recording about the five-year chart on iRobot. This is a stock, you go back to the summer of 2016, the stock has a little bit more than doubled since that. You get a double over a five-year period, that's great. Historically, that's a market-beating return. But the roller coaster that investors have been on over the past five years is terrifying. Depending on when you bought shares of iRobot, you're either thrilled or horribly disappointed.\nRotonti: iRobot is one of the companies that -- such a great point, Chris -- it's one of the companies that faces really steep competition. Even though it's this great innovative product that many of us probably use and love better than pushing the vacuum ourselves, especially the heavy type of vacuums on carpet and stuff, it is facing competition from the likes of Dyson, which is another brilliant engineering company, from the likes of Shark, the Shark IQ, and there's others out there as well. Over the last five years, the chart that you're looking at, I believe iRobot has tried to increase prices at least once, maybe twice, and those prices didn't stick, it had to actually roll them back, and so we were talking about the pricing power we are seeing at Facebook. This is the opposite. They have tried to increase the price at least once that I remember reading about and maybe more than once and they didn't stick. What you see is that the gross margin line at iRobot, which is a rough indicator of pricing power, has fallen from 49% to 50% in 2016 and 2017 to 45%, 46%, and then most recently down to 42%. The volatility that you see in the gross margin line, I think, is leading to the volatility that you see in the stock price. It's going to be interesting to see if they can get the last 12 months gross margin of 42%, if they can get that back up into the mid-40% range.\nHill: Thank you for that reminder because I had forgotten about that incident where they tried to raise prices and it backfired on them. Among other things, it's a reminder that, in general, when it comes to consumer technology, I feel like we can put iRobot and the Roomba in the consumer technology space. In general, prices come down over time. A very good flat-screen TV costs you a lot less now than it did five and 10 years ago. Apple really is the outlier in its ability to continue to keep the iPhone at a high price point. You go back 10, 12 years, the first few years of the iPhone, the people who were bearish on Apple, part of their bearish argument was, \"Well, look at the history of consumer technology prices, they can't possibly keep this up. They're going to have to lower the price of the iPhone over time.\" In fact, they did the exact opposite.\nRotonti: It's exactly right, and in order to maintain that pricing power, those average selling prices, you have to continually innovate and add new functionality and new features which Apple has been able to do largely with the iPhone. The thing we should mention about iRobot because you said depending on when you got on that roller coaster you either really enjoyed it or you felt sick to your stomach. One future investors, they like about this, is the stock is not terribly expensive right now, it's trading eighty-something dollars per share, its 52-week high was almost $200 per share, and on a price-to-free-cash-flow basis, it's trading at like a multiple of 15, which is low, Chris, that is low and the reason it's low is because it is such a volatile business, I think. The predictability of the business is not predictable, and so people aren't going to pay high multiples for it. But if you invert that price-to-free-cash-flow multiple, you get a free cash flow yield, and that's a yield of 7%. The higher the yield, the better, a 7% yield that compares to the 10-year Treasury note at 1.3%. A 7% yield also means that free cash flow doesn't have to grow a whole lot to generate mid-teens annualized return, free cash flow only has to grow 6%, 7%. You add the yield plus the growth, 7% yield, let's say 6% or 7% growth, and you get to mid-teens expected return. Now, it's not a guaranteed return, but it's a rough heuristic to calculate that. Maybe it's a decent time to buy this one. I don't know the company well enough to say any more than that, but it doesn't look terribly expensive here.\nHill: John Rotonti, great talking to you. Thanks so much for being here.\nRotonti: Thank you, Chris. Always love being on the show.\nHill: As always, people on the program may have interest in the stocks they talk about and The Motley Fool may have formal recommendations for or against, so don't buy or sell stocks based solely on what you hear. That's going to do it for this edition of MarketFoolery, the show is mixed by Austin Morgan. I'm Chris Hill, thanks for listening. We'll see you on Monday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":894335266,"gmtCreate":1628800050155,"gmtModify":1633689459510,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/894335266","repostId":"2158688512","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2158688512","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":1628780903,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2158688512?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-12 23:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How hackers stole $600 mln in crypto tokens from Poly Network","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2158688512","media":"Reuters","summary":"WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Hackers pulled off the biggest ever cryptocurrency heist on Tuesday, ","content":"<p>WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Hackers pulled off the biggest ever cryptocurrency heist on Tuesday, stealing more than $600 million in digital coins from token-swapping platform Poly Network, only to return $342 million worth of tokens less than 48 hours later, the company said.</p>\n<p>Here is what we know so far about the heist.</p>\n<p>WHAT IS POLY NETWORK?</p>\n<p>A lesser-known name in the world of crypto, Poly Network is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that facilitates peer-to-peer transactions with a focus on allowing users to transfer or swap tokens across different blockchains.</p>\n<p>For example, a customer could use Poly Network to transfer tokens such as bitcoin from the Ethereum blockchain to the Binance Smart Chain.</p>\n<p>Poly Network was founded by Chinese entrepreneur Da Hongfei, who is currently chief executive of Neo, a blockchain platform.</p>\n<p>According to Neo's website, Poly Network was launched in August last year as a collaboration between Neo, crypto trading platform Switcheo and blockchain company Ontology.</p>\n<p>HOW DID HACKERS STEAL THE TOKENS?</p>\n<p>Poly Network operates on the Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.

Tokens are swapped between the blockchains using a smart contract which contains instructions on when to release the assets to the counterparties.\nOne of the smart contracts that Poly Network uses to transfer tokens between blockchains maintains large amounts of liquidity to allow users to efficiently swap tokens, according to crypto intelligence firm CipherTrace.\nPoly Network tweeted on Tuesday that a preliminary investigation found the hackers exploited a vulnerability in this smart contract.\nAccording to an analysis of the transactions tweeted by Kelvin Fichter, an Ethereum programmer, the hackers appeared to override the contract instructions for each of the three blockchains and diverted the funds to three wallet addresses, digital locations for storing tokens. These were later traced and published by Poly Network.\nThe attackers stole funds in more than 12 different cryptocurrencies, including ether and a type of bitcoin, according to blockchain forensics company Chainalysis.\nA person claiming to have perpetrated the hack said they had spotted a \"bug,\" without specifying, and that they wanted to \"expose the vulnerability\" before others could exploit it, according to digital messages posted on the Ethereum network published by Chainalysis. Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the messages.\nWHERE DID THE MONEY GO?\nCoindesk reported on Tuesday that the hackers had initially tried to transfer some of the assets from one of the three wallets into liquidity pool Curve.fi, but that transfer was rejected. About $100 million was moved out of another of the wallets and deposited into liquidity pool Ellipsis Finance, Coindesk also reported.\nCurve.fi. and Ellipsis Finance could not immediately be reached for comment.\nBut early Wednesday the hackers started transferring assets back to Poly Network and by Thursday morning had returned $342 million worth of tokens, with $268 million stolen from the Ethereum chain outstanding, Poly Network said. Around 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) on Thursday, Poly Network said it was still communicating with the hackers, who were gradually transferring back the remaining assets.\nWHO IS THE HACKER?\nThe hacker or hackers have not yet been identified.\nCryptocurrency security firm SlowMist said on its website that it has identified the attacker's mailbox, internet protocol address, and device fingerprints, but the company has not yet named any individuals. SlowMist said the heist was \"likely to be a long-planned, organized and prepared attack.\"\nDespite the purported hacker posing as a so-called \"white hat\", an ethical hacker who had \"always\" planned to give the money back, according to the messages published by Chainalysis, some crypto experts are skeptical.\nGurvais Grigg, chief technology officer at Chainalysis and former FBI veteran, said it was unlikely that white hat hackers would steal such a large sum. He said on Wednesday that they had probably returned some of the funds because it had proved too difficult to convert them into cash.\n\"It's hard to know the motivation ... Let's see the if they return the whole amount,\" he added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179263122,"gmtCreate":1626535012966,"gmtModify":1633926003690,"author":{"id":"3582535927405335","authorId":"3582535927405335","name":"Alvintbs","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582535927405335","authorIdStr":"3582535927405335"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179263122","repostId":"2152689797","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152689797","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626525420,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2152689797?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-17 20:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is This Apple Supplier a Buy Before Its Next Earnings Report?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152689797","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"An attractive valuation and solid prospects make this chipmaker an enticing bet right now.","content":"<p><b>Skyworks Solutions</b> (NASDAQ:SWKS) didn't get much love from investors at the end of April despite delivering a solid set of earnings results that cleared Wall Street's expectations.

The mobile business, which made up two-thirds of Skyworks' Q2 revenue, has been supercharged by the arrival of 5G smartphones. The chipmaker's relationship with <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) has played a key role in this regard, as the iPhone maker accounted for 56%&nbsp;of Skyworks' total revenue in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Skyworks is a key supplier of wireless components&nbsp;for the iPhone 12.

It is worth noting that Cowen's estimate of 57 million iPhone units shipping in the first quarter of 2021 was pretty accurate.

Broad markets revenue had shot up 67% year over year in Q2 to $385 million as demand for wireless connectivity beyond smartphones increased.</p>\n<p>So Skyworks is sitting on two impressive growth drivers that could ensure the continuation of its momentum.

With the launch of this year's iPhones just a couple of months&nbsp;away, production is reportedly in full swing, and probably ahead of schedule (as supply chain gossip suggests).</p>\n<p>Even better, Apple seems set for multiyear growth in the 5G era, as more than 80% of its installed base is running non-5G iPhones.
