Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.</p>\n<p><b>Ford vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up</b></p>\n<p>Although there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p>\n<p><b>Market opportunity</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p>\n<p>China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p>\n<p>Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>Turning to growth projections.</p>\n<p>With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p>\n<p>Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p>\n<p>Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p>\n<p>Winner here: Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p>\n<p>Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p>\n<p>Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p>\n<p>The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p>\n<p>The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p>\n<p>Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p>\n<p>Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p>\n<p>Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p>\n<p>Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p>\n<p>Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p>\n<p><b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p>\n<p>NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.</p>\n<p><b>Final verdict</b></p>\n<p>NIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.</p>\n<p>Ford’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.</p>\n<p>If you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Ford Or NIO?

Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.\nFord and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.\nBattery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.\n(Source: Schroders)\nThe “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169132826,"gmtCreate":1623820886365,"gmtModify":1634027565212,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nonono","listText":"Nonono","text":"Nonono","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169132826","repostId":"2143549750","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169136780,"gmtCreate":1623820871640,"gmtModify":1634027565824,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Holyshowshowsbie","listText":"Holyshowshowsbie","text":"Holyshowshowsbie","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169136780","repostId":"1189515948","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189515948","pubTimestamp":1623813090,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189515948?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 11:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Expect Even More Volatility Ahead for AMC Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189515948","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The meme stock-trading frenzy will likely keep AMC stock volatile\nAMCEntertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock ","content":"<p>The meme stock-trading frenzy will likely keep AMC stock volatile</p>\n<p><b>AMCEntertainment</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) stock has been on a wild ride so far this year.

Management highlighted that as of March 31, “AMC was operating at 585 domestic theaters with limited seating capacities of between 15% and 60%, representing approximately 99% of domestic theaters.”</p>\n<p>During the quarter, AMC’s revenues declined about 84% year-over-year to $148 million. Net loss of $567 million was in fact an improvement, compared to $2.18 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, AMC burned through $313 million in cash.</p>\n<p>CEO Adam Aron commented, “Strengthening AMC’s liquidity position and balance sheet remains very high priorities, and we have been active across the board. Over the past five months, AMC has raised right around $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital, including the conversion of $600 million of convertible notes into equity at a price of $13.51 per share.”</p>\n<p>Since the release of the results, AMC stock has gone from around $10 to the current price of nearly $60. The market capitalization is close $29 billion. Its price-sales ratio of 24.2x points to a frothy valuation level. However, retail traders, fueled by the social media frenzy, seem to have made a handshake agreement to hold and not sell the shares.</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment Operates In a Stagnant Industry</b></p>\n<p>Now that the pandemic seems to be waning, the bull argument is that movie theaters are opening up and that AMC can gain back a significant portion of sales as its theaters reopen. A surge in moviegoers could, in fact, generate positive cash flow even if the company remains unprofitable.</p>\n<p>However, the pandemic has led to increasing uncertainty about the future of the movie theatre industry. According to&nbsp;IBISWorld, “The market size of the movie theaters industry in the U.S. has declined 19.1% per year on average between 2016 and 2021.”</p>\n<p>Put another way, the movie business was already struggling to generate profits before the pandemic as movie crowds were staying away. Movie tickets sold in the U.S. have been falling consistently since the 2002 peak of close to&nbsp;1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>Moreover, streaming got more popular than ever during the pandemic as the main form of entertainment at home. So far, despite the opening of the economy, many people seem to keep their streaming subscriptions.

However, AMC stock’s overvalued share price does not reflect an improvement in its underlying business. The company accumulated $5.5 billion in debt during the pandemic. Now, management has to sell new stock to pay it down.</p>\n<p>After weeks of meme stock action, retail investors still remain well-organized to keep the AMC stock price soaring. Every institutional sale has met consequent short-squeeze moves. However, close to&nbsp;23%&nbsp;of AMC shares are still sold short despite the meme stock buying frenzy.</p>\n<p>Therefore, AMC stock is likely to stay highly volatile in the near future and would be suitable only for speculators whose portfolios can handle such high risk/high return investments.

I am saying that it’s likely going to be hard for the bulls to make as much money this year as they did last year.</p>\n<p>Trading and investing are tough. There’s always someone on the other side of every trade you make. Always think about who that is and why they are willing to take the other side of your transaction. When you buy, why are they selling it to you at that price? When you sell, who is buying it from you and what are their motivations? Remember, I’ve talked before about how&nbsp;good analysis starts with empathy.</p>\n<p><b>If I’m selling, who’s buying — and why?</b></p>\n<p>So let’s answer this question right now. Who is buying stocks and cryptos from me when I’ve trimmed and sold for the past month or so? Sure, there are banks and institutions and hedge funds and family offices investing and trading, just as always. On the other hand, remember two years ago when I got back from a hedge fund investment conference&nbsp;in Abu Dhabi and everybody was desperate for returns:</p>\n<p>Amid low interest rates and other investors’ focus on options, credit and currencies, “the lack of focus on traditional stocks and funds that invest in publicly traded stocks makes me think that there is probably more opportunity in such assets than people realize. I certainly see some very compelling long ideas in Revolutionary companies like WORK and TWTR and TSLA.”</p>\n<p>Since that post, back a year and a half ago, Slack&nbsp;went from $21 to being bought out at $45, Twitter&nbsp;went from $27 to $61, and Tesla&nbsp;went from $81 to $616. And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.</p>\n<p>And now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by&nbsp;23-year-old TikTok influencers&nbsp;doing bitcoin&nbsp;trading astrology.</p>\n<p>Yes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.”&nbsp;Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.</p>\n<p><b>Mr. Market</b></p>\n<p>The other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.</p>\n<p>Mr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.</p>\n<p>Sometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a6516337aacc614d83584ea90e174f2\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"870\"></p>\n<p><b>Learning from Soros</b></p>\n<p>But looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,<i>and</i>the economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.</p>\n<p>It was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager&nbsp;George Soros.</p>\n<p>He wrote, and the concept is important to understand:</p>\n<p>“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher.

(Photo by Isaac Lawrence/AFP via Getty Images)\nI don’t know when what I call the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market will end.\nAfter 12 years being long and strong and having diamond hands without even knowing that term existed, maybe I’m wrong to turn more cautious.\nMaybe the economy will reopen and rejuvenate the country in such a strong manner that corporate earnings in 2022 and 2023 will make today’s prices seem like bargains.\nBut I simply don’t think that’s the most likely outcome.\nAnd if I’m right that we’re in the throes of the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market, I do not want to be overly long and on the wrong side of the great unwind when it does start.\nI’m not calling for a near-term crash. I am saying that it’s likely going to be hard for the bulls to make as much money this year as they did last year.\nTrading and investing are tough. There’s always someone on the other side of every trade you make. Always think about who that is and why they are willing to take the other side of your transaction. When you buy, why are they selling it to you at that price? When you sell, who is buying it from you and what are their motivations? Remember, I’ve talked before about how good analysis starts with empathy.\nIf I’m selling, who’s buying — and why?\nSo let’s answer this question right now. Who is buying stocks and cryptos from me when I’ve trimmed and sold for the past month or so? Sure, there are banks and institutions and hedge funds and family offices investing and trading, just as always. On the other hand, remember two years ago when I got back from a hedge fund investment conference in Abu Dhabi and everybody was desperate for returns:\nAmid low interest rates and other investors’ focus on options, credit and currencies, “the lack of focus on traditional stocks and funds that invest in publicly traded stocks makes me think that there is probably more opportunity in such assets than people realize. I certainly see some very compelling long ideas in Revolutionary companies like WORK and TWTR and TSLA.”\nSince that post, back a year and a half ago, Slack went from $21 to being bought out at $45, Twitter went from $27 to $61, and Tesla went from $81 to $616. And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.\nAnd now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by 23-year-old TikTok influencers doing bitcoin trading astrology.\nYes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.” Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.\nMr. Market\nThe other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.\nMr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.\nSometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.\n\nLearning from Soros\nBut looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,andthe economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.\nIt was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager George Soros.\nHe wrote, and the concept is important to understand:\n“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher.

QuoteZoom’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the past four quarters, the average surprise being 73.2%.Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.Factors to WatchZoom’s fiscal first-quarter revenues are expected to have benefited from the coronavirus-induced work-from-home and online-learning wave despite the vaccination campaigns.Notably, the company’s freemium business model helps it win customers rapidly, whom it can later convert into paying customers. Net dollar-expansion rate on a trailing twelve-month basis was more than 156% in fourth-quarter fiscal 2021.

You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.However, Zoom Video continues to face significant competition from the likes of Cisco, Microsoft and Google Meet.

Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana last month introduced a bill aimed at boosting transparency for investors in SPACs.</p>\n<p>SPACs are shell companies that raise money via a listing to acquire a private company with the purpose of taking it public, sidestepping a traditional initial public offering <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IPO.UK\">$(IPO.UK)$</a> process.

For this reason, SHOP can be considered a sort of \"Anti-Amazon\" catalyst. Yet will AMZN compete with SHOP in this area, considering their&nbsp;recent acquisition of competitor Selz? The answer to this question isn't exclusive to AMZN alone.</p>\n<p>I am most optimistic about Shopify Payments. This is an integration with Stripe which enables stores on Shopify to accept payment similar to that of PayPal (PYPL) - customers can use their Shopify account with saved credit card information to complete their purchase. Because Stripe is the underlying technology behind this integration, I do not expect SHOP to benefit directly from this relationship, however Shopify Payments may help to increase its ability to attract new merchant to its platform. Further, SHOP may be able to increase its take rate for purchases made using Shopify Payments in the future. For these reasons, I expect SHOP to grow significantly faster than the overall growth rate of e-commerce, as it is expanding rapidly within e-commerce itself.</p>\n<p>But most importantly, this ability to save credit card information across Shopify stores is very important as it may help counteract AMZN's advantage of being a one-stop shop. This brings us to the most important differentiator: cost advantage. Between credit card and transaction fees, SHOP charges its shops about&nbsp;3% every transaction. This is far lower than the approximate&nbsp;15% being charged on AMZN. The difference is large enough to provide SHOP certain competitive advantages that should persist even if AMZN tries to enter the same space. Summing up, SHOP's excellent e-commerce builder offering plus its payment processing and cost advantages should enable it to continue aggressively taking market share in the e-commerce segment - I expect it to own a far greater chunk of total e-commerce sales in 5 years.</p>\n<p>As for the stock, if it can achieve consensus estimates, then in 5 years I expect the stock to reach a stock price between $1,550 per share, representing 24x 2025 gross profits, and $1,100, representing 15x 2025 gross profits. That suggests upside of 0% to 40% over the next 5 years.</p>\n<p><b>Is SHOP A Buy Or Sell Now</b></p>\n<p>Because SHOP has not yet maximized its profit margins, one should not value the stock on the basis of present earnings. Instead, one might prefer to use gross profits, as gross margins are also low at 56.5%. SHOP trades at 75x trailing gross profits. Because fulfillment costs are primarily present in the \"cost of merchant revenues,\" this means that gross profit is essentially the amount after fulfillment costs. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that SHOP will be able to achieve high margins on the basis of gross profits - likely higher than even the best technology companies. If we assume that SHOP can achieve 50% net margins based on gross profits, and we assume that SHOP trades at 30x earnings upon maturity, then that would imply a 15x gross profit multiple. Thus, to determine whether or not SHOP is undervalued, we must determine how quickly SHOP can grow gross profits such that its stock price falls below 15x gross profits. Assuming neutral gross margins expansion, SHOP would need to grow its top-line by 400% before achieving the above goal. We can see consensus estimates for top-line growth below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7dd8f1bdcc1fb26be32888f5ad44cea\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"476\"><span>(Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>Analysts expect 400% top-line growth to occur by 2024, with continued strong growth thereafter. To price in so many years of growth already may mean that forward stock returns may prove muted. In order to outperform, SHOP would need to either deliver stronger than expected growth or achieve higher net margins than the 50% predicted above. For my personal taste, these all are aggressive assumptions that I am not prepared to take. I would find shares attractive at 50x gross profits or less, but I might not be fortunate enough to see such prices.

But that doesn't mean the index itself or the tech sector stocks that populate it are out of the woods. To the contrary, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> trader is seeing short opportunities in not only the Nasdaq, but it's biggest component, Apple (AAPL).</p><p>Tech stocks have been lagging the Dow and S&amp;P 500 this year, but JC Parets, founder of allstarcharts.com, explains to Yahoo Finance Live that this phenomenon stretches back to the end of the second quarter of 2020.</p><p>\"The underperformance started [on] Labor Day last year at the end of the summer, and that's when they all peaked ... Amazon has done nothing since then. It's not just tech [stocks], it's really big growth [stocks] and even small cap growth [stocks]. Growth in general peaked at the end of last summer — Apple, Amazon (AMZN), all of them on a relative basis.\"</p><p>The two biggest outperforming S&amp;P 500 sectors this year are energy and financials. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) is up 38% and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) is up 26% year-to-date. Parets says, \"[T]he big winners have been coming out of value [stocks] ... Financials, Berkshire [Hathaway], energy ... Those have been the winners. The losers have been the growth stocks.\"</p><h2>2021 is not 2020</h2><p>Parets also notes the different market environment this year compared to last year — a phenomenon many investors may not be noticing. \"There's so much more evidence that 2021 is just not what 2020 was, right? It is a completely different type of market, and some investors are able to adjust and see the information coming in and act accordingly. And some investors just like to sit on their hands and hope that last year's market was going to continue to be this year's market. I see it every day, and they're paying a price for it,\" he says.</p><p>Parets outlines his trading style using the recent highs of certain trading instruments as a line in the sand. If the price is below the level, he's thinking bearishly. \"[If the index level is] below the February highs in small caps or the Nasdaq, under no circumstances can we be long ... Bottom line is there's no reason to be long if the Nasdaq or small caps are below those February highs.\"</p><p>Apple stock, like many of its peers, has gone largely sideways since September despite making a nominal record high in January. Parets likes a short in Apple based on its relative underperformance, and issues a warning to fund managers who may be loading up on growth stocks at the expense of risk management.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-05/7c956ff0-b29d-11eb-afd7-bb72120e4af7\" tg-width=\"1900\" tg-height=\"902\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>JC Parets breaks down an Apple short</span></p><p>\"I'm hearing that [Ark Investment Management CEO] Cathie Wood considers Apple her cash equivalent. That's pretty scary if you ask me. So, I really like the short a lot. Notice those September highs — where we got to in September was 138. We tried to get back there in January and failed. Most recently, we tried to get back there last month and failed, again. That's the level, 138. If you're below 138, under no circumstances can you own Apple ... I prefer to be short. And how low could it go? ... I could go real low. Why can't it get back toward 100?\" says Parets.</p><h2>Gold making a comeback</h2><p>Parets also highlights how defensive sectors and instruments have been perking up since the March lows. He uses a generalized trading maxim to illustrate how the trends in defensive stocks morphed from bearish to bullish.</p><p>\"First thing assets need to do before they [start going up] is to stop going down. And over the last year, what were the worst assets? Bonds, yen, gold, staples on a relative bases. All the defensive areas were the worst place to be. And that changed in the first quarter of this year. They stopped going down, and over the last couple months, they've actually been going up,\" says Parets.</p><p>When it comes to things that have started to go up, Parets is looking at playing gold. \"We've been bullish gold. That trade's been working — not just the metal, also the [gold] miners as well. Yen stopped going down, bonds stopped going down. They're not really going up, but they're not going down either. And [with consumer] staples, utilities, [and] REITs outperforming, does that remind you of an environment where stocks are doing well?

But that doesn't mean the index itself or the tech sector stocks that populate it are out of the woods. To the contrary, one trader is seeing short opportunities in not only the Nasdaq, but it's biggest component, Apple (AAPL).Tech stocks have been lagging the Dow and S&P 500 this year, but JC Parets, founder of allstarcharts.com, explains to Yahoo Finance Live that this phenomenon stretches back to the end of the second quarter of 2020.\"The underperformance started [on] Labor Day last year at the end of the summer, and that's when they all peaked ... Amazon has done nothing since then. It's not just tech [stocks], it's really big growth [stocks] and even small cap growth [stocks]. Growth in general peaked at the end of last summer — Apple, Amazon (AMZN), all of them on a relative basis.\"The two biggest outperforming S&P 500 sectors this year are energy and financials. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) is up 38% and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) is up 26% year-to-date. Parets says, \"[T]he big winners have been coming out of value [stocks] ... Financials, Berkshire [Hathaway], energy ... Those have been the winners. The losers have been the growth stocks.\"2021 is not 2020Parets also notes the different market environment this year compared to last year — a phenomenon many investors may not be noticing. \"There's so much more evidence that 2021 is just not what 2020 was, right? It is a completely different type of market, and some investors are able to adjust and see the information coming in and act accordingly. And some investors just like to sit on their hands and hope that last year's market was going to continue to be this year's market. I see it every day, and they're paying a price for it,\" he says.Parets outlines his trading style using the recent highs of certain trading instruments as a line in the sand. If the price is below the level, he's thinking bearishly. \"[If the index level is] below the February highs in small caps or the Nasdaq, under no circumstances can we be long ... Bottom line is there's no reason to be long if the Nasdaq or small caps are below those February highs.\"Apple stock, like many of its peers, has gone largely sideways since September despite making a nominal record high in January. Parets likes a short in Apple based on its relative underperformance, and issues a warning to fund managers who may be loading up on growth stocks at the expense of risk management.JC Parets breaks down an Apple short\"I'm hearing that [Ark Investment Management CEO] Cathie Wood considers Apple her cash equivalent. That's pretty scary if you ask me. So, I really like the short a lot. Notice those September highs — where we got to in September was 138. We tried to get back there in January and failed. Most recently, we tried to get back there last month and failed, again. That's the level, 138. If you're below 138, under no circumstances can you own Apple ... I prefer to be short. And how low could it go? ... I could go real low. Why can't it get back toward 100?\" says Parets.Gold making a comebackParets also highlights how defensive sectors and instruments have been perking up since the March lows. He uses a generalized trading maxim to illustrate how the trends in defensive stocks morphed from bearish to bullish.\"First thing assets need to do before they [start going up] is to stop going down. And over the last year, what were the worst assets? Bonds, yen, gold, staples on a relative bases. All the defensive areas were the worst place to be. And that changed in the first quarter of this year. They stopped going down, and over the last couple months, they've actually been going up,\" says Parets.When it comes to things that have started to go up, Parets is looking at playing gold. \"We've been bullish gold. That trade's been working — not just the metal, also the [gold] miners as well. Yen stopped going down, bonds stopped going down. They're not really going up, but they're not going down either. And [with consumer] staples, utilities, [and] REITs outperforming, does that remind you of an environment where stocks are doing well? Or should they be doing poorly?\" he asks.Separately, Lee Munson, president and CIO at Portfolio Wealth Advisors, is also telling Yahoo Finance Live he likes gold as an investment because the environment for the precious metal has fundamentally changed. \"What moved gold in the past is not what is moving it right now. We have had a regime change. Generally, I see gold as something that tends to go up when the Fed's balance sheet expands. Some people think the balance sheet can't expand anymore.

Because SHOP enables its customers to achieve a direct to consumer e-commerce presence, the company appears to be an anti-Amazon secular growth story. SHOP achieved strong growth in its latest quarter, and is expected to grow rapidly this year as well. Even assuming aggressive assumptions regarding forward growth and profit margins, it appears that the stock is already pricing in many years of growth. Those expecting outperformance may be disappointed, unless SHOP is able to grow even faster and make even more money than expected.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>SHOP has not proven immune to the recent selloff in growth stocks - likely because it is perceived to be a “lockdown play” amidst a rapidly improving vaccination landscape. SHOP trades just under $1,100 per share - with over 35% upside to all time highs.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ac6bef21d412979e0ca2f1aabf49a33\" tg-width=\"1204\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>(Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p><b>Shopify Earnings</b></p>\n<p>SHOP’s latest quarterly earnings showed strong top-line growth, with revenues soaring 110% year over year (‘YOY’).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/217192d74dc7d7dda140c3840b43d2ba\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"646\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>(2020 Q1 Presentation)</span></p>\n<p>Clearly, SHOP benefited from easy comparables, as 2020 Q1 was the last quarter before the pandemic hit. However, in addition to benefiting from the growth in e-commerce spend in general, SHOP also added a significant number of merchants to its platform, which is evidenced by the 71% growth in subscription solutions revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc07217c736a82addf91618e140f9410\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"704\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>(2020 Q1 Presentation)</span></p>\n<p>I am most excited by the increasing user base of Shop Pay, which I view to be SHOP’s answer to PayPal (PYPL).

GAAP net income was $1.3 billion, but this included $1.3 billion in unrealized investment gains. The improvement in operating leverage is better seen in analyzing operating income, which jumped from a net loss of $73.2 million last year to positive $118.9 million this year.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify Stock Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Looking forward, Wall Street expects SHOP to continue growing rapidly. Consensus estimates call for SHOP to report strong revenue growth moving forward, but real operating leverage to take place only starting in 2023.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30f9781f8f53e35e1edae69e4048fa75\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"462\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>(Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>Will SHOP be able to meet these lofty expectations?</p>\n<p><b>Where Will Shopify Stock Be In Five Years</b></p>\n<p>I see two main long term growth stories for SHOP. The first involves the company taking a greater share of the e-commerce landscape. Currently, SHOP owns only 8.6% of total U.S. ecommerce sales, far less than the 39% from Amazon (AMZN).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6430867ab6c0adb1fb051fe4ebfb9eb\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"830\"><span>(2020 Q1 Presentation)</span></p>\n<p>SHOP has outlined its goals as stated below, with its near term focuses being on things like Shop Pay, and ultra-long term ambitions being on fulfillment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc6893e3b1aa5ed600ea712483de898\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"786\"><span>(2020 Q1 Presentation)</span></p>\n<p>I am conflicted on its long-term fulfillment ambitions, as that would likely be capital intensive and may also impact margins for many years (just look at AMZN). However, SHOP may find the ability to offer subsidized shipping to be a necessary poison in order to take market share from AMZN.</p>\n<p>I see SHOP as empowering small businesses to build their own ecommerce presence online. For this reason, SHOP can be considered a sort of \"Anti-Amazon\" catalyst. Yet will AMZN compete with SHOP in this area, considering their&nbsp;recent acquisition of competitor Selz? The answer to this question isn't exclusive to AMZN alone.</p>\n<p>I am most optimistic about Shopify Payments. This is an integration with Stripe which enables stores on Shopify to accept payment similar to that of PayPal (PYPL) - customers can use their Shopify account with saved credit card information to complete their purchase. Because Stripe is the underlying technology behind this integration, I do not expect SHOP to benefit directly from this relationship, however Shopify Payments may help to increase its ability to attract new merchant to its platform. Further, SHOP may be able to increase its take rate for purchases made using Shopify Payments in the future. For these reasons, I expect SHOP to grow significantly faster than the overall growth rate of e-commerce, as it is expanding rapidly within e-commerce itself.</p>\n<p>But most importantly, this ability to save credit card information across Shopify stores is very important as it may help counteract AMZN's advantage of being a one-stop shop. This brings us to the most important differentiator: cost advantage. Between credit card and transaction fees, SHOP charges its shops about&nbsp;3% every transaction. This is far lower than the approximate&nbsp;15% being charged on AMZN. The difference is large enough to provide SHOP certain competitive advantages that should persist even if AMZN tries to enter the same space. Summing up, SHOP's excellent e-commerce builder offering plus its payment processing and cost advantages should enable it to continue aggressively taking market share in the e-commerce segment - I expect it to own a far greater chunk of total e-commerce sales in 5 years.</p>\n<p>As for the stock, if it can achieve consensus estimates, then in 5 years I expect the stock to reach a stock price between $1,550 per share, representing 24x 2025 gross profits, and $1,100, representing 15x 2025 gross profits. That suggests upside of 0% to 40% over the next 5 years.</p>\n<p><b>Is SHOP A Buy Or Sell Now</b></p>\n<p>Because SHOP has not yet maximized its profit margins, one should not value the stock on the basis of present earnings. Instead, one might prefer to use gross profits, as gross margins are also low at 56.5%. SHOP trades at 75x trailing gross profits. Because fulfillment costs are primarily present in the \"cost of merchant revenues,\" this means that gross profit is essentially the amount after fulfillment costs. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that SHOP will be able to achieve high margins on the basis of gross profits - likely higher than even the best technology companies. If we assume that SHOP can achieve 50% net margins based on gross profits, and we assume that SHOP trades at 30x earnings upon maturity, then that would imply a 15x gross profit multiple. Thus, to determine whether or not SHOP is undervalued, we must determine how quickly SHOP can grow gross profits such that its stock price falls below 15x gross profits. Assuming neutral gross margins expansion, SHOP would need to grow its top-line by 400% before achieving the above goal. We can see consensus estimates for top-line growth below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7dd8f1bdcc1fb26be32888f5ad44cea\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"476\"><span>(Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>Analysts expect 400% top-line growth to occur by 2024, with continued strong growth thereafter. To price in so many years of growth already may mean that forward stock returns may prove muted. In order to outperform, SHOP would need to either deliver stronger than expected growth or achieve higher net margins than the 50% predicted above.

Because SHOP enables its customers to achieve a direct to consumer e-commerce presence, the company appears to be an anti-Amazon secular growth story. SHOP achieved strong growth in its latest quarter, and is expected to grow rapidly this year as well. Even assuming aggressive assumptions regarding forward growth and profit margins, it appears that the stock is already pricing in many years of growth. Those expecting outperformance may be disappointed, unless SHOP is able to grow even faster and make even more money than expected.\nShopify Stock Price\nSHOP has not proven immune to the recent selloff in growth stocks - likely because it is perceived to be a “lockdown play” amidst a rapidly improving vaccination landscape. SHOP trades just under $1,100 per share - with over 35% upside to all time highs.\n(Seeking Alpha)\nShopify Earnings\nSHOP’s latest quarterly earnings showed strong top-line growth, with revenues soaring 110% year over year (‘YOY’).\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nClearly, SHOP benefited from easy comparables, as 2020 Q1 was the last quarter before the pandemic hit. However, in addition to benefiting from the growth in e-commerce spend in general, SHOP also added a significant number of merchants to its platform, which is evidenced by the 71% growth in subscription solutions revenue.\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nI am most excited by the increasing user base of Shop Pay, which I view to be SHOP’s answer to PayPal (PYPL). In my discussion below, I believe Shop Pay to be SHOP's greatest long term growth catalyst.\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nSHOP continued to drive operating leverage, with non-GAAP operating expenses declining to 36% of revenues.\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nThis showed in the boost in net income. GAAP net income was $1.3 billion, but this included $1.3 billion in unrealized investment gains. The improvement in operating leverage is better seen in analyzing operating income, which jumped from a net loss of $73.2 million last year to positive $118.9 million this year.\nShopify Stock Forecast\nLooking forward, Wall Street expects SHOP to continue growing rapidly. Consensus estimates call for SHOP to report strong revenue growth moving forward, but real operating leverage to take place only starting in 2023.\n(Seeking Alpha)\nWill SHOP be able to meet these lofty expectations?\nWhere Will Shopify Stock Be In Five Years\nI see two main long term growth stories for SHOP. The first involves the company taking a greater share of the e-commerce landscape. Currently, SHOP owns only 8.6% of total U.S. ecommerce sales, far less than the 39% from Amazon (AMZN).\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nSHOP has outlined its goals as stated below, with its near term focuses being on things like Shop Pay, and ultra-long term ambitions being on fulfillment.\n(2020 Q1 Presentation)\nI am conflicted on its long-term fulfillment ambitions, as that would likely be capital intensive and may also impact margins for many years (just look at AMZN). However, SHOP may find the ability to offer subsidized shipping to be a necessary poison in order to take market share from AMZN.\nI see SHOP as empowering small businesses to build their own ecommerce presence online. For this reason, SHOP can be considered a sort of \"Anti-Amazon\" catalyst. Yet will AMZN compete with SHOP in this area, considering their recent acquisition of competitor Selz? The answer to this question isn't exclusive to AMZN alone.\nI am most optimistic about Shopify Payments. This is an integration with Stripe which enables stores on Shopify to accept payment similar to that of PayPal (PYPL) - customers can use their Shopify account with saved credit card information to complete their purchase. Because Stripe is the underlying technology behind this integration, I do not expect SHOP to benefit directly from this relationship, however Shopify Payments may help to increase its ability to attract new merchant to its platform. Further, SHOP may be able to increase its take rate for purchases made using Shopify Payments in the future. For these reasons, I expect SHOP to grow significantly faster than the overall growth rate of e-commerce, as it is expanding rapidly within e-commerce itself.\nBut most importantly, this ability to save credit card information across Shopify stores is very important as it may help counteract AMZN's advantage of being a one-stop shop. This brings us to the most important differentiator: cost advantage. Between credit card and transaction fees, SHOP charges its shops about 3% every transaction. This is far lower than the approximate 15% being charged on AMZN. The difference is large enough to provide SHOP certain competitive advantages that should persist even if AMZN tries to enter the same space. Summing up, SHOP's excellent e-commerce builder offering plus its payment processing and cost advantages should enable it to continue aggressively taking market share in the e-commerce segment - I expect it to own a far greater chunk of total e-commerce sales in 5 years.\nAs for the stock, if it can achieve consensus estimates, then in 5 years I expect the stock to reach a stock price between $1,550 per share, representing 24x 2025 gross profits, and $1,100, representing 15x 2025 gross profits. That suggests upside of 0% to 40% over the next 5 years.\nIs SHOP A Buy Or Sell Now\nBecause SHOP has not yet maximized its profit margins, one should not value the stock on the basis of present earnings. Instead, one might prefer to use gross profits, as gross margins are also low at 56.5%. SHOP trades at 75x trailing gross profits. Because fulfillment costs are primarily present in the \"cost of merchant revenues,\" this means that gross profit is essentially the amount after fulfillment costs. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that SHOP will be able to achieve high margins on the basis of gross profits - likely higher than even the best technology companies. If we assume that SHOP can achieve 50% net margins based on gross profits, and we assume that SHOP trades at 30x earnings upon maturity, then that would imply a 15x gross profit multiple. Thus, to determine whether or not SHOP is undervalued, we must determine how quickly SHOP can grow gross profits such that its stock price falls below 15x gross profits. Assuming neutral gross margins expansion, SHOP would need to grow its top-line by 400% before achieving the above goal. We can see consensus estimates for top-line growth below.\n(Seeking Alpha)\nAnalysts expect 400% top-line growth to occur by 2024, with continued strong growth thereafter. To price in so many years of growth already may mean that forward stock returns may prove muted. In order to outperform, SHOP would need to either deliver stronger than expected growth or achieve higher net margins than the 50% predicted above. For my personal taste, these all are aggressive assumptions that I am not prepared to take. I would find shares attractive at 50x gross profits or less, but I might not be fortunate enough to see such prices.

He’ll assume the title of Executive Chair at that time, and Andy Jassy will become CEO.</p>\n<p>Fundamentally, it means that an end to an era is approaching. That has the market wondering whether Amazon will see some degree of decline.</p>\n<p>I’ll start by saying that I believe very little will change. That’s a good thing.</p>\n<p>Maybe Amazon will institute a dividend, or perhaps it’ll undertake a stock-split. Whether it does either, neither, or both of those things, Amazon is still a worthwhile investment.</p>\n<p><b>Recent Results and AMZN Stock</b></p>\n<p>Even though Jeff Bezos is easing away from his CEO role, Amazon continues to perform incredibly well. In Q1 ‘21, net sales at Amazon increased by 44% year-over-year, to $108.5 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Walmart</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>), by comparison, netted $134.6 billion: A larger number in absolute terms, yet its 8.7% revenue increase was much lower than Amazon’s 44% increase.</p>\n<p>If that comparison makes you uneasy from an investment perspective (although it shouldn’t) then consider another often made comparison. That between Chinese ecommerce giant<b>Alibaba</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>) and Amazon.</p>\n<p>Amazon’s Q1 2021 revenues of $108.5 billion are 50.69% greater than the $72 billion the Amazon of China made in all of fiscal year 2020.</p>\n<p>Further, at Amazon, income in Q1 reached $8.1 billion, more than triple what it was a year prior.</p>\n<p>So ignore bearish sentiment dictates that somehow Amazon’s best days are behind it. It really is overall a company that just keeps winning.</p>\n<p>Amazon has shown its value in our limited contact, pandemic-ridden world. One might expect that it simply can’t continue to exceed expectations.</p>\n<p>However, it keeps proving that it can. Analysts expected Amazon to report $104 billion in revenues in Q1, it beat the estimates with that $108.5 billion figure.</p>\n<p>When you look at AMZN stock and its $3,300 price tag it could easily give you pause. But then its important to consider the company’s track record and Wall Street’s opinion of it.</p>\n<p>Just about every one of the more than 50 analysts with coverage of Amazon consider it a buy. Their average price target indicates 27.3% upside.</p>\n<p>That should lend a fair amount of confidence to anyone on the fence about buying Amazon shares.</p>\n<p><b>Is Amazon’s Growth Pandemic Bound</b></p>\n<p>The short answer is no. Amazon was huge back in 2016, recording $135 billion in revenues. Those revenues more than doubled by 2019 when it recorded $280 billion in sales.</p>\n<p>In 2020 revenues hit $386 billion. Yes, that was a revenue increase that was historically out of line. And yes, it was due to the pandemic. So it’s rational to believe that in the wake of the pandemic that sales will naturally return to a more average growth rate.</p>\n<p>So maybe revenues will increase by $50 billion annually (2018-2019), and not by $100 billion as in 2019 to 2020. But so what?</p>\n<p>I’d be astounded if Amazon doesn’t find a way to take the windfall proceeds from the pandemic and turn them into a future business that grows that massive top line.</p>\n<p>Amazon states that its focus is on long-term sustainable growth in free cash flows.

He’ll assume the title of Executive Chair at that time, and Andy Jassy will become CEO.\nFundamentally, it means that an end to an era is approaching. That has the market wondering whether Amazon will see some degree of decline.\nI’ll start by saying that I believe very little will change. That’s a good thing.\nMaybe Amazon will institute a dividend, or perhaps it’ll undertake a stock-split. Whether it does either, neither, or both of those things, Amazon is still a worthwhile investment.\nRecent Results and AMZN Stock\nEven though Jeff Bezos is easing away from his CEO role, Amazon continues to perform incredibly well. In Q1 ‘21, net sales at Amazon increased by 44% year-over-year, to $108.5 billion.\nWalmart(NYSE:WMT), by comparison, netted $134.6 billion: A larger number in absolute terms, yet its 8.7% revenue increase was much lower than Amazon’s 44% increase.\nIf that comparison makes you uneasy from an investment perspective (although it shouldn’t) then consider another often made comparison. That between Chinese ecommerce giantAlibaba(NYSE:BABA) and Amazon.\nAmazon’s Q1 2021 revenues of $108.5 billion are 50.69% greater than the $72 billion the Amazon of China made in all of fiscal year 2020.\nFurther, at Amazon, income in Q1 reached $8.1 billion, more than triple what it was a year prior.\nSo ignore bearish sentiment dictates that somehow Amazon’s best days are behind it. It really is overall a company that just keeps winning.\nAmazon has shown its value in our limited contact, pandemic-ridden world. One might expect that it simply can’t continue to exceed expectations.\nHowever, it keeps proving that it can. Analysts expected Amazon to report $104 billion in revenues in Q1, it beat the estimates with that $108.5 billion figure.\nWhen you look at AMZN stock and its $3,300 price tag it could easily give you pause. But then its important to consider the company’s track record and Wall Street’s opinion of it.\nJust about every one of the more than 50 analysts with coverage of Amazon consider it a buy. Their average price target indicates 27.3% upside.\nThat should lend a fair amount of confidence to anyone on the fence about buying Amazon shares.\nIs Amazon’s Growth Pandemic Bound\nThe short answer is no. Amazon was huge back in 2016, recording $135 billion in revenues. Those revenues more than doubled by 2019 when it recorded $280 billion in sales.\nIn 2020 revenues hit $386 billion. Yes, that was a revenue increase that was historically out of line. And yes, it was due to the pandemic. So it’s rational to believe that in the wake of the pandemic that sales will naturally return to a more average growth rate.\nSo maybe revenues will increase by $50 billion annually (2018-2019), and not by $100 billion as in 2019 to 2020. But so what?\nI’d be astounded if Amazon doesn’t find a way to take the windfall proceeds from the pandemic and turn them into a future business that grows that massive top line.\nAmazon states that its focus is on long-term sustainable growth in free cash flows. Judged by that metric, Amazon again does well. For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, free cash flows increased to $26.4 billion from $24.3 billion in the corresponding previous period.\nTakeaway\nAmazon remains a strong buy despite its sticker price. Worry less about the upcoming CEO transition and focus on its sustained growth outside of these extraordinary times.\nOn the date of publication, Alex Sirois did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169138109,"gmtCreate":1623820783901,"gmtModify":1634027567420,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Soros the world","listText":"Soros the world","text":"Soros the world","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169138109","repostId":"1182315358","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1182315358","pubTimestamp":1623814338,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1182315358?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It’s time to be smart like Soros in the ‘blow-off’ stage of the bull market in stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1182315358","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"If you’re an investor, you need to be flexible, neither a bull nor a bear.\nIt takes brains and brawn","content":"<p>If you’re an investor, you need to be flexible, neither a bull nor a bear.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/724d1ea0bb18bddb367c79abf08c1af9\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"841\"><span>It takes brains and brawn to be an investor these days.

I am saying that it’s likely going to be hard for the bulls to make as much money this year as they did last year.</p>\n<p>Trading and investing are tough. There’s always someone on the other side of every trade you make. Always think about who that is and why they are willing to take the other side of your transaction. When you buy, why are they selling it to you at that price? When you sell, who is buying it from you and what are their motivations?

Who is buying stocks and cryptos from me when I’ve trimmed and sold for the past month or so? Sure, there are banks and institutions and hedge funds and family offices investing and trading, just as always. On the other hand, remember two years ago when I got back from a hedge fund investment conference&nbsp;in Abu Dhabi and everybody was desperate for returns:</p>\n<p>Amid low interest rates and other investors’ focus on options, credit and currencies, “the lack of focus on traditional stocks and funds that invest in publicly traded stocks makes me think that there is probably more opportunity in such assets than people realize. I certainly see some very compelling long ideas in Revolutionary companies like WORK and TWTR and TSLA.”</p>\n<p>Since that post, back a year and a half ago, Slack&nbsp;went from $21 to being bought out at $45, Twitter&nbsp;went from $27 to $61, and Tesla&nbsp;went from $81 to $616. And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.</p>\n<p>And now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by&nbsp;23-year-old TikTok influencers&nbsp;doing bitcoin&nbsp;trading astrology.</p>\n<p>Yes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.”&nbsp;Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.</p>\n<p><b>Mr. Market</b></p>\n<p>The other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.</p>\n<p>Mr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.</p>\n<p>Sometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a6516337aacc614d83584ea90e174f2\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"870\"></p>\n<p><b>Learning from Soros</b></p>\n<p>But looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,<i>and</i>the economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.</p>\n<p>It was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager&nbsp;George Soros.</p>\n<p>He wrote, and the concept is important to understand:</p>\n<p>“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher. All this changed as a result of the financial crisis of 2008. My conceptual framework enabled me both to anticipate the crisis and to deal with it when it finally struck…</p>\n<p>“I can state the core idea in two relatively simple propositions. One is that in situations that have thinking participants, the participants’ view of the world is always partial and distorted. That is the principle of fallibility. The other is that these distorted views can influence the situation to which they relate because false views lead to inappropriate actions. That is the principle of reflexivity…</p>\n<p>“Recognizing reflexivity has been sacrificed to the vain pursuit of certainty in human affairs, most notably in economics, and yet, uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs. Economic theory is built on the concept of equilibrium, and that concept is in direct contradiction with the concept of reflexivity…</p>\n<p>“A positive feedback process is self-reinforcing. It cannot go on forever because eventually the participants’ views would become so far removed from objective reality that the participants would have to recognize them as unrealistic. Nor can the iterative process occur without any change in the actual state of affairs, because it is in the nature of positive feedback that it reinforces whatever tendency prevails in the real world. Instead of equilibrium, we are faced with a dynamic disequilibrium or what may be described as far-from-equilibrium conditions. Usually in far-from-equilibrium situations the divergence between perceptions and reality leads to a climax which sets in motion a positive feedback process in the opposite direction. Such initially self-reinforcing but eventually self-defeating boom-bust processes or bubbles are characteristic of financial markets, but they can also be found in other spheres. There, I call them fertile fallacies—interpretations of reality that are distorted, yet produce results which reinforce the distortion.”</p>\n<p>Stay flexible</p>\n<p>Far-from-equilibrium conditions was what we had in 2010-2013 when we loaded up on Revolutionary stocks and started buying cryptos like bitcoin. Far-from-equilibrium conditions might be what we have in front of us right now when I suggest getting cautious instead.</p>\n<p>We don’t want to be permabulls. (You for sure don’t want to be a permabear!) We have to be flexible. We have to let our analysis and risk/reward scenarios dictate how much risk we’re taking and when. We have to pay attention to the cycles, the self-reinforcing cycles that drive economies and markets and valuations and earnings and societal interactions and bailouts and financial crises and bubbles and busts and, heaven forbid, just simple stagnation.</p>\n<p>It’s as if everybody forgets that markets can bubble and crash and stagnate. They forget that markets can grind for years on end without making new highs, or without even making higher highs. Do you not remember telling your money manager sometime in 2010-2012 that “If I’d just handled the Great Financial Crisis (and/or the Dot-Com Crash) a little better, I’d be in better shape.” I used to hear people say that to me all the time. I haven’t heard anybody say that lately. Everybody’s having fun in this market … at least for now.</p>\n<p>Most traders will tell you that they are “just trading the market that is in front of them.” Well, I don’t know when the bubble will pop, but I do know that I don’t want to be on the wrong side of this market when it does. And I do know that we won’t know the bubble has really popped until the self-reinforcing reflexive feedback loop has made it painful for the vast majority of people who are right now feeling wealthy, feeling secure, feeling like they’ve got this trading and investing thing all figured out.</p>\n<p>We are all fallible. Be careful while it’s fun. Be bold when it’s painful. That’s how I’ve done it for the last 25 years. We were boldly buying these assets when it was painful for others. I’m careful right now because everybody else is having fun.</p>\n<p>I spend a lot of time looking for new ideas and I won’t let my overall market outlook deter me from buying a new name or two. But I want to remain overall cautious and less aggressive than I have been for most of the last decade.</p>\n<p>As a matter of fact,&nbsp;I might have at least a couple Trade Alerts that I’ll be sending out this week, one long and one short idea. Being flexible, see?</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>It’s time to be smart like Soros in the ‘blow-off’ stage of the bull market in stocks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIt’s time to be smart like Soros in the ‘blow-off’ stage of the bull market in stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 11:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/its-time-to-be-smart-like-soros-in-the-blow-off-stage-of-the-bull-market-in-stocks-11623788897?siteid=yhoof2><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you’re an investor, you need to be flexible, neither a bull nor a bear.\nIt takes brains and brawn to be an investor these days.

And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.\nAnd now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by 23-year-old TikTok influencers doing bitcoin trading astrology.\nYes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.” Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.\nMr. Market\nThe other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.\nMr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.\nSometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.\n\nLearning from Soros\nBut looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,andthe economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.\nIt was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager George Soros.\nHe wrote, and the concept is important to understand:\n“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher. All this changed as a result of the financial crisis of 2008. My conceptual framework enabled me both to anticipate the crisis and to deal with it when it finally struck…\n“I can state the core idea in two relatively simple propositions. One is that in situations that have thinking participants, the participants’ view of the world is always partial and distorted. That is the principle of fallibility. The other is that these distorted views can influence the situation to which they relate because false views lead to inappropriate actions. That is the principle of reflexivity…\n“Recognizing reflexivity has been sacrificed to the vain pursuit of certainty in human affairs, most notably in economics, and yet, uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs. Economic theory is built on the concept of equilibrium, and that concept is in direct contradiction with the concept of reflexivity…\n“A positive feedback process is self-reinforcing. It cannot go on forever because eventually the participants’ views would become so far removed from objective reality that the participants would have to recognize them as unrealistic. Nor can the iterative process occur without any change in the actual state of affairs, because it is in the nature of positive feedback that it reinforces whatever tendency prevails in the real world. Instead of equilibrium, we are faced with a dynamic disequilibrium or what may be described as far-from-equilibrium conditions. Usually in far-from-equilibrium situations the divergence between perceptions and reality leads to a climax which sets in motion a positive feedback process in the opposite direction. Such initially self-reinforcing but eventually self-defeating boom-bust processes or bubbles are characteristic of financial markets, but they can also be found in other spheres. There, I call them fertile fallacies—interpretations of reality that are distorted, yet produce results which reinforce the distortion.”\nStay flexible\nFar-from-equilibrium conditions was what we had in 2010-2013 when we loaded up on Revolutionary stocks and started buying cryptos like bitcoin. Far-from-equilibrium conditions might be what we have in front of us right now when I suggest getting cautious instead.\nWe don’t want to be permabulls. (You for sure don’t want to be a permabear!) We have to be flexible. We have to let our analysis and risk/reward scenarios dictate how much risk we’re taking and when. We have to pay attention to the cycles, the self-reinforcing cycles that drive economies and markets and valuations and earnings and societal interactions and bailouts and financial crises and bubbles and busts and, heaven forbid, just simple stagnation.\nIt’s as if everybody forgets that markets can bubble and crash and stagnate. They forget that markets can grind for years on end without making new highs, or without even making higher highs. Do you not remember telling your money manager sometime in 2010-2012 that “If I’d just handled the Great Financial Crisis (and/or the Dot-Com Crash) a little better, I’d be in better shape.” I used to hear people say that to me all the time. I haven’t heard anybody say that lately. Everybody’s having fun in this market … at least for now.\nMost traders will tell you that they are “just trading the market that is in front of them.” Well, I don’t know when the bubble will pop, but I do know that I don’t want to be on the wrong side of this market when it does. And I do know that we won’t know the bubble has really popped until the self-reinforcing reflexive feedback loop has made it painful for the vast majority of people who are right now feeling wealthy, feeling secure, feeling like they’ve got this trading and investing thing all figured out.\nWe are all fallible. Be careful while it’s fun. Be bold when it’s painful. That’s how I’ve done it for the last 25 years. We were boldly buying these assets when it was painful for others. I’m careful right now because everybody else is having fun.\nI spend a lot of time looking for new ideas and I won’t let my overall market outlook deter me from buying a new name or two. But I want to remain overall cautious and less aggressive than I have been for most of the last decade.\nAs a matter of fact, I might have at least a couple Trade Alerts that I’ll be sending out this week, one long and one short idea. Being flexible, see?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119227829,"gmtCreate":1622551277661,"gmtModify":1634100580293,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119227829","repostId":"2138889344","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138889344","pubTimestamp":1622546894,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138889344?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-01 19:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zoom Video to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138889344","media":"Zacks","summary":"Zoom Video Communications is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.For the quarte","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b> is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.</p><p>For the quarter, the company expects non-GAAP earnings between 95 cents and 97 cents per share.

Like many high-risk, high-reward stocks, Airbnb has&nbsp;fallen out of favor&nbsp;among value-oriented investors. But for the stock's&nbsp;many fans, is this a chance to&nbsp;buy the dip? Let's find out.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38a08cf47cca95c9f3a495bd18064147\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>The bull case</b></p>\n<p>The pandemic has been bad for businesses everywhere. But it's been especially difficult for companies relying on people leaving their homes.&nbsp;According to the World Travel &amp; Tourism Council, the travel industry suffered a $4.5 trillion loss last year due to COVID.</p>\n<p>At first, Airbnb looked more vulnerable than ever. Lockdowns slammed the brakes on bookings, which plunged 72% year over year in April 2020. At the height of the pandemic, Airbnb had to raise emergency cash and slashed a quarter of its staff. These actions proved decisive, helping Airbnb bounce back from what CEO Brian Chesky called the \"most harrowing crisis of our lifetime.\" Airbnb ended the year with $3.4 billion in revenue, down 30% year over year. That was pretty good -- considering Airbnb had expected revenue to more than half in 2020.</p>\n<p>In the first quarter of 2021, revenue rose 5% year over year to $887 million, handilybeating Wall Street expectations. Airbnb attributed this to a 35% increase in overall average daily rates, as most of its bookings were in the United States (which tends to have higher daily rates). The company also experienced fewer cancellations than in the year-ago quarter.</p>\n<p>As restrictions get lifted and vaccinations roll out, Airbnb expects a \"significant travel rebound\" in 2021. New Airbnb use cases that emerged during the pandemic -- such asremote work-- also look here to stay. In the long run, Airbnb has plenty of room to grow. Despite being a household name in the global travel industry, it's captured less than 1% of its total addressable market.</p>\n<p>All told, Airbnb has what it takes to be apost-pandemic winner. But this doesn't mean investors should rush in just yet.</p>\n<p><b>The bear case</b></p>\n<p>The reality is that the pandemic is far from over. In the U.S., there are still tens of thousands of new cases every day. Although there's a clear trend of declining new cases since vaccinations got under way, we are still months away from reachingherd immunity-- if at all.</p>\n<p>Herd immunity is the idea that if 60% to 70% of the population gains immunity to COVID-19, we can stop the virus in its tracks. According to<i>Nature</i>magazine, some experts believe we may never hit the herd immunity threshold. And even if we do, there's the risk thatdeadlier new mutations may emerge, or that the vaccine loses its efficacy.</p>\n<p>In other words, COVID-19may not be goingaway anytime soon. And that's not good news for the economy or the travel industry.</p>\n<p>While the virus is under control in the U.S., it has reemerged in many countries. New daily cases in India are at an all-time high, and many countries have yet to vaccinate even 1% of their populations. International travel will likely be restricted until most countries reach herd immunity -- a process that could take years. So even if domestic travel recovers, global travel could be subdued for a long time.</p>\n<p>What does all this mean for Airbnb? For one, it might be years before Airbnb returns to high, double-digit growth. And that's a concern because the stock has always been seen as a hyper-growth tech play. Even after its recent decline, Airbnb trades at 25 times 2020 revenue.<b>Booking Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:BKNG)-- Airbnb's biggest rival -- trades at 16 times sales. At this valuation, Airbnb looks even pricier than&nbsp;<b>PalantirTechnologies</b>, a hyper-growth stock that grew revenue by47% in 2020.</p>\n<p>Clearly, the market hopes Airbnb will eventually fulfill its grand ambitions. But if it fails to deliver high growth in the short- and medium-term, investors could lose their patience.</p>\n<p><b>Is Airbnb a buy now?</b></p>\n<p>There's much to like about Airbnb.

With high-profile backers like Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global Management, Airbnb became one of the world's most valuable start-ups just seven years after its founding.\nSo it was no surprise when Airbnb made a monster market debut last year even as other travel players struggled to survive the pandemic. Airbnb shares hit $220 in February, more than triple its listing price.\nBut since then, Airbnb shares have shed 40%. The stock now trades at $131, the lowest since December 2020. Like many high-risk, high-reward stocks, Airbnb has fallen out of favor among value-oriented investors. But for the stock's many fans, is this a chance to buy the dip? Let's find out.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nThe bull case\nThe pandemic has been bad for businesses everywhere. But it's been especially difficult for companies relying on people leaving their homes. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the travel industry suffered a $4.5 trillion loss last year due to COVID.\nAt first, Airbnb looked more vulnerable than ever. Lockdowns slammed the brakes on bookings, which plunged 72% year over year in April 2020. At the height of the pandemic, Airbnb had to raise emergency cash and slashed a quarter of its staff. These actions proved decisive, helping Airbnb bounce back from what CEO Brian Chesky called the \"most harrowing crisis of our lifetime.\" Airbnb ended the year with $3.4 billion in revenue, down 30% year over year. That was pretty good -- considering Airbnb had expected revenue to more than half in 2020.\nIn the first quarter of 2021, revenue rose 5% year over year to $887 million, handilybeating Wall Street expectations. Airbnb attributed this to a 35% increase in overall average daily rates, as most of its bookings were in the United States (which tends to have higher daily rates). The company also experienced fewer cancellations than in the year-ago quarter.\nAs restrictions get lifted and vaccinations roll out, Airbnb expects a \"significant travel rebound\" in 2021. New Airbnb use cases that emerged during the pandemic -- such asremote work-- also look here to stay. In the long run, Airbnb has plenty of room to grow. Despite being a household name in the global travel industry, it's captured less than 1% of its total addressable market.\nAll told, Airbnb has what it takes to be apost-pandemic winner. But this doesn't mean investors should rush in just yet.\nThe bear case\nThe reality is that the pandemic is far from over. In the U.S., there are still tens of thousands of new cases every day. Although there's a clear trend of declining new cases since vaccinations got under way, we are still months away from reachingherd immunity-- if at all.\nHerd immunity is the idea that if 60% to 70% of the population gains immunity to COVID-19, we can stop the virus in its tracks. According toNaturemagazine, some experts believe we may never hit the herd immunity threshold. And even if we do, there's the risk thatdeadlier new mutations may emerge, or that the vaccine loses its efficacy.\nIn other words, COVID-19may not be goingaway anytime soon. And that's not good news for the economy or the travel industry.\nWhile the virus is under control in the U.S., it has reemerged in many countries. New daily cases in India are at an all-time high, and many countries have yet to vaccinate even 1% of their populations. International travel will likely be restricted until most countries reach herd immunity -- a process that could take years. So even if domestic travel recovers, global travel could be subdued for a long time.\nWhat does all this mean for Airbnb? For one, it might be years before Airbnb returns to high, double-digit growth. And that's a concern because the stock has always been seen as a hyper-growth tech play. Even after its recent decline, Airbnb trades at 25 times 2020 revenue.Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG)-- Airbnb's biggest rival -- trades at 16 times sales. At this valuation, Airbnb looks even pricier than PalantirTechnologies, a hyper-growth stock that grew revenue by47% in 2020.\nClearly, the market hopes Airbnb will eventually fulfill its grand ambitions. But if it fails to deliver high growth in the short- and medium-term, investors could lose their patience.\nIs Airbnb a buy now?\nThere's much to like about Airbnb. Its business model has proven to be resilient, even during the pandemic. Beyond bed-and-breakfast, Airbnb has thepotential to disruptthe entire travel industry.\nBut its sky-high valuation is a deal-breaker. Until Airbnb starts trading at a more reasonable price, I'll be staying away from this stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193681030,"gmtCreate":1620784050720,"gmtModify":1634196331675,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/193681030","repostId":"2134698127","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2134698127","pubTimestamp":1620779160,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2134698127?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-12 08:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's why this trader is shorting Apple stock and buying gold","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2134698127","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"The Nasdaq Composite  managed to claw back most of its losses Tuesday after falling 2.2% shortly after the open.

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.</p>\n<p><b>Ford vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up</b></p>\n<p>Although there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p>\n<p><b>Market opportunity</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p>\n<p>China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p>\n<p>Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>Turning to growth projections.</p>\n<p>With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p>\n<p>Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p>\n<p>Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p>\n<p>Winner here: Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p>\n<p>Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p>\n<p>Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p>\n<p>The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p>\n<p>The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p>\n<p>Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p>\n<p>Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p>\n<p>Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p>\n<p>Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p>\n<p>Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p>\n<p><b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p>\n<p>NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise.

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.\nFord vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up\nAlthough there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing $30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.\nMarket opportunity\nIn 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.\n(Source: Wikipedia)\nChina, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is on the cusp of entering the European market in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.\nBeijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a twenty percent share of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.\n(Source:Schroders)\nTurning to growth projections.\nWith more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.\n(Source:McKinsey)\nSince China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.\nScale and manufacturing competence\nFord has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.\nSince NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.\nWinner here: Ford.\nDifferentiation and BaaS revenue model\nBoth Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.\nFord is forming a joint venture with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has formed its own joint venture to secure battery supply.\nThe difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.\nThe BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.\nFord and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.\nBattery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.\n(Source: Schroders)\nThe “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169132826,"gmtCreate":1623820886365,"gmtModify":1634027565212,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nonono","listText":"Nonono","text":"Nonono","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169132826","repostId":"2143549750","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169136780,"gmtCreate":1623820871640,"gmtModify":1634027565824,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Holyshowshowsbie","listText":"Holyshowshowsbie","text":"Holyshowshowsbie","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169136780","repostId":"1189515948","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189515948","pubTimestamp":1623813090,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189515948?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 11:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Expect Even More Volatility Ahead for AMC Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189515948","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The meme stock-trading frenzy will likely keep AMC stock volatile\nAMCEntertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock ","content":"<p>The meme stock-trading frenzy will likely keep AMC stock volatile</p>\n<p><b>AMCEntertainment</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) stock has been on a wild ride so far this year. Millions of investors on&nbsp;Reddit&nbsp;and other social media platforms joined forces to push AMC stock higher through short squeezes.</p>\n<p>Investors are witnessing a virtual clash between retail traders and a number of established hedge funds of Wall Street, each side betting on an opposite outcome for the AMC share price.</p>\n<p>There is strength in numbers, and retail traders seem to have the upper hand so far. Year to date, AMC stock is up 2,700%. The&nbsp;meme&nbsp;stock found itself skyrocketing in the early days of May, reaching $72.62 in early June before sliding down to its current price of nearly $60.</p>\n<p>AMC management took advantage of this surge by selling shares to raise cash. The group has managed to bring $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital in 2021.</p>\n<p>At this point, it’s pure speculation as to what could be next for AMC stock. In today’s digital world, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for movie theater chains like AMC Entertainment to resist headwinds fueled by new streaming services.</p>\n<p>If you are investor whose portfolio can handle the thrill of speculation, then you might want to consider having a small exposure to AMC shares. Otherwise, you should possibly put your capital into other robust companies that have solid growth prospects. Here is why.</p>\n<p><b>How Recent Earnings Came</b></p>\n<p>Kansas-headquartered AMC Entertainment is the largest movie theater operator stateside with over 1,00 theaters and 11,000 screens in approximately 15 countries. As lockdowns came into our lives, AMC stock price was initially crushed during the pandemic. A year ago, the shares were around $2.</p>\n<p>Rival stocks like&nbsp;<b>Cinemark</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:CNK) and&nbsp;<b>IMAX</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:IMAX) also suffered. However, they fared better than AMC Entertainment. In fact, until recently the Street seemed ready to write off AMC stock on its way to bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>In early May, the theater group released&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;metrics. Management highlighted that as of March 31, “AMC was operating at 585 domestic theaters with limited seating capacities of between 15% and 60%, representing approximately 99% of domestic theaters.”</p>\n<p>During the quarter, AMC’s revenues declined about 84% year-over-year to $148 million. Net loss of $567 million was in fact an improvement, compared to $2.18 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, AMC burned through $313 million in cash.</p>\n<p>CEO Adam Aron commented, “Strengthening AMC’s liquidity position and balance sheet remains very high priorities, and we have been active across the board. Over the past five months, AMC has raised right around $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital, including the conversion of $600 million of convertible notes into equity at a price of $13.51 per share.”</p>\n<p>Since the release of the results, AMC stock has gone from around $10 to the current price of nearly $60. The market capitalization is close $29 billion. Its price-sales ratio of 24.2x points to a frothy valuation level. However, retail traders, fueled by the social media frenzy, seem to have made a handshake agreement to hold and not sell the shares.</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment Operates In a Stagnant Industry</b></p>\n<p>Now that the pandemic seems to be waning, the bull argument is that movie theaters are opening up and that AMC can gain back a significant portion of sales as its theaters reopen. A surge in moviegoers could, in fact, generate positive cash flow even if the company remains unprofitable.</p>\n<p>However, the pandemic has led to increasing uncertainty about the future of the movie theatre industry. According to&nbsp;IBISWorld, “The market size of the movie theaters industry in the U.S. has declined 19.1% per year on average between 2016 and 2021.”</p>\n<p>Put another way, the movie business was already struggling to generate profits before the pandemic as movie crowds were staying away. Movie tickets sold in the U.S. have been falling consistently since the 2002 peak of close to&nbsp;1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>Moreover, streaming got more popular than ever during the pandemic as the main form of entertainment at home. So far, despite the opening of the economy, many people seem to keep their streaming subscriptions. This would understandably constitute a significant headwind for theater operators like AMC, whose recovery will likely be capped by the overall downturn in the movie industry.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line on AMC Stock</b></p>\n<p>The $2 billion capital AMC has recently raised might offer some breathing space for recovery of operation in the coming months. However, AMC stock’s overvalued share price does not reflect an improvement in its underlying business. The company accumulated $5.5 billion in debt during the pandemic. Now, management has to sell new stock to pay it down.</p>\n<p>After weeks of meme stock action, retail investors still remain well-organized to keep the AMC stock price soaring. Every institutional sale has met consequent short-squeeze moves. However, close to&nbsp;23%&nbsp;of AMC shares are still sold short despite the meme stock buying frenzy.</p>\n<p>Therefore, AMC stock is likely to stay highly volatile in the near future and would be suitable only for speculators whose portfolios can handle such high risk/high return investments.

Millions of investors on Reddit and other social media platforms joined forces to push AMC stock higher through short squeezes.\nInvestors are witnessing a virtual clash between retail traders and a number of established hedge funds of Wall Street, each side betting on an opposite outcome for the AMC share price.\nThere is strength in numbers, and retail traders seem to have the upper hand so far. Year to date, AMC stock is up 2,700%. The meme stock found itself skyrocketing in the early days of May, reaching $72.62 in early June before sliding down to its current price of nearly $60.\nAMC management took advantage of this surge by selling shares to raise cash. The group has managed to bring $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital in 2021.\nAt this point, it’s pure speculation as to what could be next for AMC stock. In today’s digital world, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for movie theater chains like AMC Entertainment to resist headwinds fueled by new streaming services.\nIf you are investor whose portfolio can handle the thrill of speculation, then you might want to consider having a small exposure to AMC shares. Otherwise, you should possibly put your capital into other robust companies that have solid growth prospects. Here is why.\nHow Recent Earnings Came\nKansas-headquartered AMC Entertainment is the largest movie theater operator stateside with over 1,00 theaters and 11,000 screens in approximately 15 countries. As lockdowns came into our lives, AMC stock price was initially crushed during the pandemic. A year ago, the shares were around $2.\nRival stocks like Cinemark (NYSE:CNK) and IMAX (NYSE:IMAX) also suffered. However, they fared better than AMC Entertainment. In fact, until recently the Street seemed ready to write off AMC stock on its way to bankruptcy.\nIn early May, the theater group released Q1 metrics. Management highlighted that as of March 31, “AMC was operating at 585 domestic theaters with limited seating capacities of between 15% and 60%, representing approximately 99% of domestic theaters.”\nDuring the quarter, AMC’s revenues declined about 84% year-over-year to $148 million. Net loss of $567 million was in fact an improvement, compared to $2.18 billion in the prior-year quarter. However, AMC burned through $313 million in cash.\nCEO Adam Aron commented, “Strengthening AMC’s liquidity position and balance sheet remains very high priorities, and we have been active across the board. Over the past five months, AMC has raised right around $2 billion in fresh equity and debt capital, including the conversion of $600 million of convertible notes into equity at a price of $13.51 per share.”\nSince the release of the results, AMC stock has gone from around $10 to the current price of nearly $60. The market capitalization is close $29 billion. Its price-sales ratio of 24.2x points to a frothy valuation level. However, retail traders, fueled by the social media frenzy, seem to have made a handshake agreement to hold and not sell the shares.\nAMC Entertainment Operates In a Stagnant Industry\nNow that the pandemic seems to be waning, the bull argument is that movie theaters are opening up and that AMC can gain back a significant portion of sales as its theaters reopen. A surge in moviegoers could, in fact, generate positive cash flow even if the company remains unprofitable.\nHowever, the pandemic has led to increasing uncertainty about the future of the movie theatre industry. According to IBISWorld, “The market size of the movie theaters industry in the U.S. has declined 19.1% per year on average between 2016 and 2021.”\nPut another way, the movie business was already struggling to generate profits before the pandemic as movie crowds were staying away. Movie tickets sold in the U.S. have been falling consistently since the 2002 peak of close to 1.6 billion.\nMoreover, streaming got more popular than ever during the pandemic as the main form of entertainment at home. So far, despite the opening of the economy, many people seem to keep their streaming subscriptions. This would understandably constitute a significant headwind for theater operators like AMC, whose recovery will likely be capped by the overall downturn in the movie industry.\nThe Bottom Line on AMC Stock\nThe $2 billion capital AMC has recently raised might offer some breathing space for recovery of operation in the coming months. However, AMC stock’s overvalued share price does not reflect an improvement in its underlying business. The company accumulated $5.5 billion in debt during the pandemic. Now, management has to sell new stock to pay it down.\nAfter weeks of meme stock action, retail investors still remain well-organized to keep the AMC stock price soaring. Every institutional sale has met consequent short-squeeze moves. However, close to 23% of AMC shares are still sold short despite the meme stock buying frenzy.\nTherefore, AMC stock is likely to stay highly volatile in the near future and would be suitable only for speculators whose portfolios can handle such high risk/high return investments. For the rest, Wall Street offers plenty of investing opportunities in stable and high-growth names.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":573,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":187076044,"gmtCreate":1623732536988,"gmtModify":1631885861605,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">$Starbucks(SBUX)$</a>yay","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">$Starbucks(SBUX)$</a>yay","text":"$Starbucks(SBUX)$yay","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/877916db7af47cb804d00be9b327562d","width":"1242","height":"2151"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/187076044","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":117529047,"gmtCreate":1623152429289,"gmtModify":1634036420491,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/117529047","repostId":"2141827253","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":118,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114845050,"gmtCreate":1623069169370,"gmtModify":1634037325765,"author":{"id":"3583661474531534","authorId":"3583661474531534","name":"Nonono96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3f1e07887a48ed5ccde10009a6e0acf","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583661474531534","authorIdStr":"3583661474531534"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dropping!!","listText":"Dropping!!","text":"Dropping!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/114845050","repostId":"1175335622","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175335622","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":1623065169,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175335622?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-07 19:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. tech giant shares unmoved on G7 tax deal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175335622","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON (Reuters) -Shares in U.S. technology giants were flat to slightly lower in premarket trading,","content":"<p>LONDON (Reuters) -Shares in U.S. technology giants were flat to slightly lower in premarket trading, little changed by the landmark global minimum corporate tax deal agreed between the world’s richest nations.</p><p>The Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies agreed on Saturday to back a minimum global corporate tax rate of at least 15% and the focus now shifts to the G20 countries for a wider agreement on the new tax proposals.</p><p>Analysts say the tax deal wouldn’t be of major impact unless it’s agreed with tax-haven countries.
